Sage--
Some K. U. student evidently believes in carrying his motto in his hat if not in his heart. At least this would seem to be true in the case of the hat turned in to the English department. Inside the band was a neatly typed inscription, "What you are to be, you are now becoming."
Dorm Committee Choice Deferred
Selection of the committee to supervise Brynwood Place and the former Chancellor's residence, which will serve as dormitories for men students of the University next year. has been deferred until Tuesday, pending the return of questionnaires sent to 30 universities and colleges, Henry Werner, men's adviser, announced today.
Answers have been received from only six of the 30 institutions to which queries were sent. The blank, contained questions pertaining to administration of men's dormitories will be used in the selection of members of the committee to oversee the construction and maintenance of the University's two new houses.
Faculty Will Play Tomorrow Night
All faculty members, faculty wives, and husbands are invited to Faculty Play Night Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Games in deck tennis, ping pong, badminton, darts, and shuffle board will be played. Beginning at 8 o'clock, an hour will be devoted to square dancing.
'America Safe Eliot Tells Audience
By Bill Koester, c'41
That "we are safe from foreign invasion" gave an audience of 400 a degree of optimism last night as Major George Fielding Eliot spoke in Hoch auditorium on "How Safe Are We From Attack."
Pointing out that the self-sufficiency of the United States renders them virtually capable of maintaining a policy of restraint toward participation in any major war, Major Elliot stated that "no nation, not self-sufficient, can hope to wage war very long. Here the United States are most fortunate, since they lack only tin and rubber resources. At the same time, Major Elliot asserted, our Navy, "by virtue of necessity and benefit of an ideal geographical location" is canable of defending this

Time: 7:30. Place: Hoch auditorium
By Jay Simon. c'40
The Kansas and Missouri basketball teams will be doing their best to assist the weatherman in bringing March "in like a lion" when they square off at 7:30 tonight in packed Hoch auditorium. The winner will get at least a share in the Big Six championship.
A repeat order by Missouri on an earlier triumph over the Jayhawkers would send the second consecutive league athletic title to the "show me" school, but Dr. F. C. Allen's cagers have a different idea.
Miller Going Great
They likewise can cop the bunting by disposing of the Tigers tonight and Oklahoma March 9 in Norman.
Kansas is rolling along in high gear with three straight Big Six triumphs on the road and with Ralph Miller, the team's offensive ringleader, no less than torrid the Jayhawkers should be hard to handle.
Despite the fact Missouri had little difficulty ringing up a 42 to 31 victory over the Crimson and Blue in Brewer fieldhouse, there is little to choose between the teams. Little to Choose Between
Offensively, each outfit has averaged just a fraction over 40 points a game, the Tigers in nine and Kansas in eight. On the (Continued from page 4)
