Dandelions—down with 'em! On rather, up with them—by the roots!
Each team has two captains, a boy and a girl. The girl is responsible for selecting 10 women students and three faculty members for the (continued to see three)
That was the rallying cry of the 100 dandelion team captains who met with Commander-in-chief Charles Wright, fine arts junior, in the Memorial Union building yesterday afternoon.
Two Captains on Each Team
Wright, who has absolute command of the student army on Dandelion Day (tentatively scheduled for April 2), called his captains together to give them a few pointers on how to select teams and to let them hear pep talks given by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen and Chancellor Deane W. Malott.

Werner then asked you which you liked best and added your selection to a pile of others on a table. He later explained that he was going to remove a number of old pictures which had been on the walls of his office for he didn't how long and replace them with the paintings by the University students.
If you happened to wander into the office of Henry Werner, adviser of men, Tuesday morning, you would have been surprised to have the adviser take you by the arm and face you toward a row of pictures lined along the wall. The pictures were water colors painted by members of the department of painting and design.
Russell Plots Map of Campus
Estimating that 18,750,000 dandelions will be destroyed by students in their drive, F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering, today pointed out that this figure must not be confused with the national debt.
Russell has drawn up a map of the campus, in which the main part is divided into 75 individual districts. The area covered amounts to 42.3 square acres, and on an average amounts to 25,000 square feet per plot. Russell has estimated 10 dandelions per square foot, or 250,-000 dandelions in each district.
'Probable Overstatement'

Must Get Funds To Stage Entrada
The Coronado Entrada will appear at the University if, and only if, members of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce are able to raise the necessary $4,200 to underwrite it.
A committee of 41 members has been appointed to try to raise the amount by subscription from local business men, and Fritz Meyn has accepted the general chairmanship of a committee to prepare for the staging of the show, which will be held in the Memorial stadium June 4, 5, and 6—if the money can be obtained
The show, to be held in connection with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration would be presented on a stage which would cover the football field, and upon which about 500 local persons would enact the search for Coronado for the fabulous golden city of Quivera.
J. H. Cargill, who will produce the pageant, has been in charge of the Entrada during the last season and continued to work there.

Must Give All For Freedom, Stowe Warns
By NADINE HUNT
"You can't buy freedom over a bargain counter, you can't buy it with dollars, you've got to give yourself!"
Thus Leland Stowe, noted Chicago Daily News foreign correspondent, described the fight for freedom against Hitler going on in Europe today when he spoke on the lecture series last night in Hoch auditorium.
A large audience heard the veteran correspondent declare that the people of America must learn to give everything just as the people of Europe have learned it. Cites Norwegians, Greeks
Stowe told of the Norwegians who are still fighting in the air and on the sea although they haven't a country of their own. He pictured the Greeks at the beginning of the war, the Greeks in whom no one believed but themselves, the Greeks who pushed back the Fascists because they were willing to give themselves for their country and not just their dollars.
Predicting that British nerves will win the war, Stowe said, "This war is very far from, being won by Hitler and lost by Britain. Britain will win if we see that she gets the tools (continued to page eight)

K.U. 'Ambassadors' Roll On
Men Sing Twice Today
BY GRAY DORSEY
Garden City, March 19.—(Special to the Kansan).—Dug up in Garden City.—Sync categorematically speaking the mean's glee club is doing all right. At least that's what John Riisoe says. John, the philosophy major, is impressing the freshmen Glee Club men and the high school students no end with his command of the English language.
I have to get these diggin's in quick because the train service is a bit irregular. Believe it or not, airmail service from here is slower than train service.
