In Confusion-upon arrival of the structure.
(Editor's note: This is the complete statement by Chancellor Malott released to the University Daily Kansan this morning.)
In the midst of great confusion, our line of duty is not always clear. Young men in the University are not at all.certain of their immediate course of action. They question whether to enlist now, whether to discontinue their education because of the imminence of the draft, or whether to get a job while jobs are plentiful.
Confusion is heightened because of uncertainty as to the attitude of our Federal government. President Roosevelt has advised all young men to continue their education until called, while at the same time branch after branch of the military services of the Federal government are visiting our campus, some of them not at all loath to recruit men in the middle of their educational training.
One thing at least seems clear. The imminence of war is no basis on which to plan a life. War may cause deflection of our plans, but not of our objectives. Hence, it seems reasonable to urge all students to continue their preparation for life, until the military service requires them. With this in mind, I urge every student to continue his education, even attending summer school if possible in order to save time, in the hope that as many as possible may have completed their formal education before the disruption of a year or more of military service.
In this connection, I call attention to an editorial by William Allen White in the Emporia Gazette of Saturday, May 24, 1941, entitled "Boys, Keep Your Shirts On."
Ponderous Stage Arrives Monday Coronado Nears Kansas
With the opening performance of the Entrada on June 5, little more than a week away, Director John W. Judd yesterday began the task of coordinating the various scenes in preparation for rehearsals in Memorial Stadium next week.
Arrival of the 300-foot steel stage to be erected in Memorial Stadium is expected Monday, George Hedrick, secretary of the chamber of commerce, said this afternoon. Construction of the stage will begin immediately $ ^{\circled{8}} $
Weighing more than 30 tons, the stage and scenery has been constructed in sections facilitating its transportation upon railway baggage and flat cars.
The Entrada, a mammoth outdoor pageant, tells the story of Coronado's wandering through the Southwest in a fruitless search for gold.
In 18 scenes, the pageant traces
Coronado's travels through North America in what is now Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas during the years 1539, 1540, and 1541, and finally his return to Mexico in the summer of 1541.
Held in connection with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration the Entrada will be given in Memorial stadium at 8:15 p.m. June 5 and 6. Admission for students will be 50 cents.

man welfare. The fact that raw materials must be brought from afar, from thousands of miles away, to keep the machines going, makes national tariff barriers and national pride a vast and terrible handicap. We have not adjusted our thinking to our machines, and the war for raw materials is a war of world revolution to set us thinking straight. It's tough; but it's necessary.
The war that is spreading over the world is a revolutionary war. It is caused somewhat by world-wide maladjustments that come from the quest of raw materials to keep the world's mass production machines going.
This country, one way or another, either economically, socially or with military belligerence, is bound to be drawn into this world revolutionary war. The war will not be indeed, it is not now, a war of man power. It is a war of machine power Germany has the machines. She has been making them for 10 years. The democracies had all the man power they could train—all they needed to defeat the Nazis—when they started. It was a part of the machine tactics of Germany to attack each democratic nation alone, conquer it alone. For democracy had not the machine technique of international organization. With that technique the war would never have been necessary
Where a century ago, even three-quarters of a century ago, towns, states, regions in this country were organized on subsistence home industries, industries which prepared the food, made most of the clothing, secured the fuel and lights and took care of the housing of home people, today it is different. The old subsistence industries are gone. Today mass production not merely on a national scale but on a world-wide scale prepares men's food, makes their clothes, furnishes their housing, and the individual's hands play a minor part in providing for hu-

Both fun and misfortune accompanied the K-club on its picnic at State lake at Tonganoxie Sunday.
Swimming boat riding, softball, and other sports provided the fun; a snakebite brought misfortune.

Your First Line of School Defense
So we and England stand alone, fighting on one side of this great machine revolution.
This cannot be repeated too often. It is not a war in which man power will win any more than it is a revolution in which man power can do much without machines.
So young gentlemen, keep your shirts on. Don't get emotionally worked up. Don't rush in and enlist until your government calls for you. Remember that to win this war which is coming to us inevitably even though we never declare war, we American citizens must take orders. We must obey. We must follow our government. And when the government wants you, young man, it will call for you and it will put you where you will dc the most good.
Therefore right now, until the government does call for you, get the best education you can. Get the most experience you can in the job you are now holding so that you can be of some use, some particular and special use to your country when your government calls. You may not carry a gun. You may have to drive a truck. You may be in a machine shop, repairing trucks or checking-up airplanes. It is no longer a war of men on foot, marching with bared breasts to the enemy. It is a war of industrial organization in the machine age revolution.
So, in all reverence, let us ask you, for God's sake keep your shirts on and wait until you are called!
