Metaxes Dies But Greece Fights On
By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Corresponden
Gen. John Metaxes, the iron-fisted Greek premier, died today—but informed sources believed his death would not weaken the fight of Greece against Italian aggression.
Metaxes died of post-operative complications following surgery on his throat Saturday. He had led Greece through three months of war against Italy and had seen his country's ill-equipped but hard-fighting troops push the Fascist invaders back across the northern frontier and then advance to conquer the southern third of Albania. No Percussions Yet
Metaxas was succeeded in the premiership by Alexander Corizis, former head of the Greek National Bank, and the watchword of Greece was: "The fight will go on."
There was no immediate indication what repercussions Metaxas' death would have in Greece, but some obsevers believed that the way now might be clear for an even more complete unification of the Greek war effort than yet has been achieved.
Metaxes' brilliant military strategy has been credited with a major part in smashing the Italian invasion of his country, before it got well under way and carrying the war back into Albania.
However, it is known that despite the war Metaxes did not relax his tight rule over Greece. He had won his way to power by ruthless suppression of all opposition elements in Greece and during his first two years in office had exiled at least 100 liberal oppositionists and imprisoned others.
It was believed that Metaxes' death (continued to page eight)

Full Cast For 'Cock Robin'
A full cast will report tomorrow night for the first rehearsal of the next campus dramatic production, "Cock Robin." The role of Torrence, which was not cast last week, will be played by John Stratton, graduate student, Allen Crafton, director, announced today.
For the past week Don Dixon and James Barton, instructor in speech, and Professor Crafton have been working on stage scenery, but because of finals there have been no rehearsals.
"Cock Robin" was presented at the University a few years ago, and because of its success the Kansas Players have decided to produce it again.
Malott To Emporia
The tickets will go on sale Thursday, Feb. 13, and the play will open the night of Monday, Feb. 17, in Fraser theater. Reservations should be made as soon as the ticket office opens.
Deane W. Malott, Chancellor of the University, was in Emporia last night to speak to an organization of public school teachers.
Doctor Canuteson also said that questionnaires on results of the experimental influenza vaccine will be mailed out soon.
The questionnaires will go to the 850 persons who recently took the serum, and to 850 who were notinnoculated. The latter is a "control group" which aids to determine the effectiveness of the recently developed vaccine.
Besides answerig questions, the students will be asked to check any symptoms of illness which they may have noted. Whether the influenza was self-diagnosed or was determined by a doctor will be asked.
Results of the experimental vaccine will be tabulated and forwarded to the Rockefeller Institute where the vaccine was discovered and developed.
Propaganda Floods Campus
Peace propaganda flooded the campus yesterday. Published by the America First committee, the broadside was distributed by Tom Walton, college junior, John Fogel, senior engineer, C. H. Mullen, second year law, and Bob McCarty, college sophomore.
The pamphlets urge students to notify senators and representatives, of their opposition to the lease-lend bill, called the President's "War Dictatorship Bill." They state that the road to war is open if the government amends the Neutrality Act, permits shipments of munitions with units of the United States Navy, amends the Johnson Act, and withdraws recognition from the Vichy government.
Lawson Says "None" Instead of "One"
A sentence in the editorial, "Some Thoughts for Today," by Dean Paul B. Lawson, which was printed in Sunday's Kansan, had its meaning changed by an error in proofreading. A sentence read, "In one of the above am I urging that we go to war," when it was intended to read, "In none of the above am I urging that we go to war."
This correction is printed in order that students of the University may know Dean Lawson's attitude and as a sincere apology to Dean Lawson himself.
Coleman Presents Mill Tax Bill To Legislature
Counting a couple of "ifs," the University will receive more than one fourth of a building fund for state schools, which will be raised by property taxation, according to the provision of a bill
Start Action On Airport Bond Issue
Legal machinery for the improvement work necessary to continue CAA work at the Municipal airport was put into motion at a meeting of the city council Monday night. The proposal for issuing $15,000 in bonds was submitted to a committee, consisting of the airport board, the ways and means committee of the city council, and the city attorney. Improvements necessitated by increased requirements of the Civil Aeronautical Authority will include: a new administration building; converting the west hangar into a shop; extension of the north hangar; installation of boundary ad approach lights for night flying included in the new program, installation of a rotating beacon; and obstruction (continued on next page)

If you enroll, your difficulties in writing will receive expert criticism by a member of the department of English.
The clinic, not designed for students deficient in composition, will give an opportunity for those enrolled to write under expert supervision from 1:30 to 4:30 on Monday and Friday afternoons.
You still have a chance to improve your writing ability, according to Dr. John W. Ashton, head of the department of English, who has announced that a laboratory clinic for this purpose will be conducted in the spring semester.
Writing Clinic Announced
No formal registration for the course will be necessary because no credit will be given. Students enrolled in rhetoric are not eligible. Other than this, Doctor Ashton points out, the only requirements are "serious intent on the part of the student and a reasonable regularity of attendance."
This is the first time a project of this sort has been tried here, but similar ones have met with success at other universities.
Generally fair tonight and Thursday; somewhat warmer in the cast portion.
introduced yesterday to the state legislature in Topeka.
The bill authorizes a levy of one-fourth mill on all taxable property in the state. Money thus raised will be set aside in the state treasury for use in a 10-year building program at the five major state institutions. Five-sixteenth of the total money raised would go to the University fund each year. An equal amount would go to Kansas State college. The remaining money would be divided equally between Emporia State teachers, Pittsburg Tachers, and Hays Teachers college.
More Efficient Than Present
If this bill is passed, state schools could plan a long-range building program that would be more efficient than the present system of asking the legislature for money every two years. Even is the University's request for a new Mineral Industries building is rejected by the legislature, the building still could be constructed in three or four years from the proposed fund—if the bill passes.

Seek Decision On Claflin Writ From Supreme Court
A recent decision by the Douglas county district court which freed John Claflin, graduate of the University, from further prosecution in connection with the fires has been appealed by the state to the supreme court.
Judge Hugh Means granted on Dec. 27 Claflin's attorneys a writ of habeas corpus on the grounds that the state had produced all its evidence at the first trial on which it would be forced to rely in any further cases.
Milton F. Beach, Douglas county attorney, said that the state's appeal was made in order to get the supreme court's interpretation of a statute based on the federal constitution guarantee against double jeopardy.
New Army Courses
Ann Arbor, Mich—(UP)—Officials of the University of Michigan are considering adding courses in technical training for selected army enlisted men during the institution's summer school.
In addition, it is indicated, additional national defense courses may be added to the university's program of participation in the nation's preparedness program.
