UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
Gregan Ann Green, who left her A.C.SH to boil on the radiator early this week, received a touching consolation note from Bob Ramsey today. Ramsey will be remembered as the candidate who ran for president of M.S.C. last year on the goldfish swallowing ticket, after gulping 52 of the squirming gold ones on the stage of the Granada.
Glenn McCann, known across the Hill as the man who would rather be caught dead than alone with a girl, was just a bundle of nerves when he had a date with Betty Muchnic for dinner at the D. U. house last night.
1. McCann couldn't remember a fraternity brother's name, finally introduced him by the handle of a brother long graduated.
2. He managed to drop a whole slab of meat in his lap while trying to sparkle for Muchnic.
3. When two brothers approached the couple, asked innocently, "Are you one of the six Pi Phi's Glenn is going to bring out all at once," McCann gave up the ghost, went all to pieces.
Final straw: When Betty asked senior law McCann if he was a sophomore in the college.

Nazi Advance---joints wouldn't have actives in them so they can find a place to jelly. Said one youngster, "There's always one or two in Brick's and the Union Fountain simply reeks with Kappas."
The German high command claimed its forces, presumably flying columns of armored cars and tanks, have penetrated to within 60 miles of Paris in the break-through between Maubuege and Carignan, near Montemedy.
If correct this claim would place German forces well bayonet Rheims. However, in Paris yesterday rumors of such an advance by an armored column were flatly denied. See French Press.
The German high command in a communique issued from Chancellor Adolf Hitler's headquarters at the front claimed German troops are "pursuing the enemy fleeing westward everywhere."
The capture of two French generals and 12,000 troops, apparently along the river Meuse near Sedan was claimed by the German high command which asserted that French tanks trying to counter attack in Belgium near Dianant had been beaten off as well as other counter-attacks south of Sedan.
The French indicated German advances had occurred but declared they were of substantially less depth and breadth than claimed by the Germans. They cited three crucial sectors today—the Rethel area on the river Aisne, the Louvain front
Eddie Penchard says he doesn't want to know for his own information who the girl is that doesn't pull down the shades in the northwest room of the Alpha Chi house, but the boys at the barbershop would sure like to know.
Best crack of the week: Harry Hill's comment, "What the senior meeting needed was less Laws and more order."
We read in the last issue of Life that Tom Bowlus finds Mt. Oread, "agog over the Johnson girls' coming trip to Hollywood."
The show must go on: Rolla Nuckles winds up the K-club play's last night while Mrs. Nuckles is operated on for appendicitis in Lawrence Memorial hospital.
Jim Bell says in his column that Titian-top Betty Jane Boddington was at the Union Fountain during this week's senior meeting. One of the paper's columnists is color blind. We could swear we sat behind B. J. during the meeting.

German Drive---on parts of his $1,182,000,000 emergency national defense program.
In neutral military quarters these developments were regarded as of highest importance. But they declared that the German advances are open to attack on the flanks. Recalling the famous attack of the French taxicab army on the right flank of the German army swinging southeast of Paris in 1914 when the French beat back the Germans at the Battle of the Marne, they suggested that some similar development might occur.
The German advances in Belgium and France radically changed the battlefront from Antwerp to Luxembourg, where several million men are estimated to be in action with many thousands of airplanes and tanks.
Fall Of Brussels Near
According to the high command, the Dyle river front running through Louvain and before Brussels (which is 18 miles from the river) has been abandoned by the Allied forces and thus the main fortifications in the second line of Belgian defense have fallen.
Nazi experts contended that the fall of Brussels was near because it has no other important defense line and it was reported the Belgian government has fled to Ghent.
South of the Dyle, the Nazis claim to have taken the fortress of Namur, broken the main Allied point of resistance on the Meuse river in Belgium, and permitted the German forces to smash southwestward down the Sambre river to the French border at Maubeuge. This vastly widened their break into the Maginot line which previously has centered at Sedan, but now extends from Maubeuge to Luxembourg.

This new emergency billion hikes national defense spending plans for the year beginning July 1. over $3,000,000,000, which is nearly $25 for every man woman and child in the nation.
