Prof. O. O. Stoland, secretary of the School of Medicine, announced today that the committee on admission to the School of Medicine is planning to select the freshman class earlier this year.
Professor Stoland asked for applications by the end of this semester. The committee, composed of seven members of the faculty from both Lawrence and Kansas City, have already begun personal interviews of candidates.
All other colleges in the state of Kansas, who will have candidates have recently been notified of this new policy. The deadline for application is May 1.
Tom-toms Pray For Victory
The traditional "tom-tom" rites will be performed again this year between halves of the Saturday game, Fred Ellsworth, Alumni association secretary, said today.
Dr. John Knight, Kansas City Missouri Alumni association president, will represent the Tigers in the rites. The Kansas representative has yet to be selected.
BEAT MISSOURI!!!!
The ceremony was first performed at the 1937 game in Lawrence. That was the scoreless tie, which a sports writer described as "either team could have left the field for five minutes and the other squad wouldn't have scored." Kansas University, being the home team, kept the trophy that year, but since then it has been in the possession of the Tigers.
The tom-tom is an Indian relic found by a University alumnus. It has been autographed by prominent alumni of both schools.
Jimmy Young Will Present Jap Lowdown
In the ceremony representatives of both schools beat the instrument for victory. At the conclusion of the game, the tom-tom is presented to the winning school for the following year.
Students will get a behind-the-scenes view of Far Eastern developments from James R. Young, for 13 years director of the Tokyo bureau of International News Service, who will speak at 8:15 Monday night in Fraser theater.
Young will explain the background of the present crisis, with a prediction of future developments, as well as recounting some of his experiences in Japan, in a lecture geared to today's headlines and current movements.
Young is in this country on parole from a Japanese penitentiary. For 61 days he was in solitary confinement in an unheated cell because Tokyo's government claimed that he had "libelled" them in dispatches to American newspapers while in the China interior. The libel charge grew out of Young's reports on the failure of Japan in the Chinese campaign.
Probs. Japon in Rock.
Since his return a year ago, Young has written and published a current best-seller, "Behind the Rising Sun." The book has won the praise of critics from coast to coast for its accurate and profound portrayal of the actual situation in Japan. One of Young's articles, "Japan Faces Destruction," appears in this month's American Mercury.
Probes Japan in Book
Young's lecture Monday night will be entitled "Japan, Russia, the United States," but will include a discussion of the whole Far Eastern problem. He will analyze the military situation, describe the economic chaos in Japan, and describe the man who are guiding Japan in her erratic political moves. Young is noted for the liveliness and humor of his discussions.
Many Sponsor Lecture
Admission to the lecture will be 10 cents. Tickets are now on sale in all organized houses.
Young is appearing through the combined efforts of the Women's Self-Governing Association, the International Relations club, Theta Sigma Phi, Sigma Delta Chi, the department of journalism, Phi Kappa Theta, the University Forums board, and the Student Union Activities board.
The department of journalism, Sigma Delta Chi, and Theta Sigma Phi will hold a banquet for Young in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building at 6:15 Monday night. The dinner is open to the public. Reservations must be made at the Kansan business office or with John Conard or Mary Francis McAnaw before Sunday noon.

Henderson Takes Busman's Holiday
L. S. Henderson, a graduate of the University, who received his Ph.D. in 1938 in entomology, has returned to the University for a busman's holiday.
Employed in a government agricultural experiment station near Florala, Ala., Henderson's work is to investigate the various insecticides that may be used for control of obnoxious and destructive insects.
Henderson came to the entomology laboratory at the University with information on a phenomenal type of beetle that has recently invaded this country. The beetle was originally found in Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
All insects found were female. They were first found here near Florala and have spread to Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana. They feed on peanuts and cotton as preferred crops. They will feed on other plants but the cotton and peanut plants are most affected. Henderson has been studying the life history, biological habits, and methods of control of this menace
