Finns Drive Russians Back
- About 40,000 Troops Involved in Clash Above Arctic Circle
Helsinki, Jan. 17.-(UP)—A military通信 tonicunte then Finnish troops were driving Russian forces back on the Salla front above the Arctic Circle where wounded men froze to death almost immediately in temperatures as low as 54 degrees below zero.

Battle Tonight
Cold Snap Is No Snap Says Born
By Resoose Born, e'll Thursday, Jan. 18—(by 'phone) Dear Diary;
Please don't think I think I'm neglecting you Diary because I couldn't write to you personally yesterday and today, so please pardon the strange handwriting;
You see, it's so cold out that I just couldn't make it down the hill and I had to discuss this entry to you. And then I knew from so you wouldn't be neglected.
Right then I grabbed a Shakespeare and decided to spind the afternoon reading all last semester's lit assignments. My partner and I made five no trump bid once but we lot two out of three rubbers.
And then I saw Thursday's weather forecast. "CONTINUED COLE PARTLY CLOUDY EAST, MOSTLY CLOUDY WEST."
Even then I wasn't sure it was as cold as it seemed. So I called up Mr. Posey, who is very obliging about temperature reports, and found out that the mercury had been squeezed down to the 6 above mark. I felt sorry for that delivery boy who brought up my lunch.
And for dinner last nite I tried to go down the Hill again. I wrapped my head in a muffler, fastened an eye-hole sheet of paper over my face and started out. It wasn't the cold as much as the ice this time. Fell down three times before the second block. So that delivery boy had to go out in the cold again.
To Banquet--
Don't know when I'll get home. Schiller Shore, warden of Potter lake, said he didn't expect the flue until about July 1, and then he
Having a wonderful time—wish you were here.
James Pettee, instructor in economics, Miss Irene Pecky, member of professor of voice, and William Shipley, fa'40, have parts in the play, "Cinderella," which will be presented in the Lawrence Memorial high school tomorrow and Saturday.
Miss Peabody will have the role of the Fairy who says Brahm's "Lullaby," and Fette will appear as the Prince. Shipley, who designed the stage sets, will be the announcer.
Dr. W. L. Burdick, dean of the School of Law, will be honored by the Leavenworth Junior Chamber commerce at a banquet Tuesday.
Pettee, Peabody, Shipley To Appear in 'Cinderella'
The play will be presented at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning, and 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The Lawrence Children's theater group is sponsor of the play.

He Fears Mizzou--
Governor Stark said yesterday that the "tiger" was prowling again in Missouri. That thought was unpermitted in Couch 'Fbgw' Allen's last night for Columbia and an important case battle with MU.
Few Brave Storm To Hear Recital
- Henderson Appears First on Program; Suzanne Eby Plova Violin Solb
Less than 300 persons braved the biting snow to see and hear the second recital given by advance students in the School of Fine Arts in Frank Strong auditorium last night.
First in a parade of 24 advanced students who persecuted 21 numbers, William Henderson, fa42, sang "Repetitive - For Behold" and "Aria: The People That Walked in Darkness" from Handel's "Messiah" in his opera *The Magpie* from the audience. Susanne Eby, m, followed this with a violin solo playing of "Adagio from G Minor Concerto" (Bruck).
Winifred Hill Plays Opus
Windiled Hil, fa'41, first of six piano solists, played opus 79, number two of Brahms "Raphoody in G Minor" with ability that brought continued applause. She was followed by a second pianist, Saida Pratt, fa'41, who played "Malguenn" (Lecuona).
Helen Mac Pecers, ed 40, next took the solo spot to sing with commendable richness and depth of tone "Oafenthalt," from the pen of Schubert. Following this Alfred Guilfhup in f6, 54; 'Oal Diel Moe Dichtung' in d9, 72; and 'by her merry,' 'Dia H' Sole Del Gange' (Scarlatti).

Forz E' Laf' from Verdi's 'La Fete' singing from a continual operatic singing brought continued applaudation from an appreciative audience.
"Barcazolle," from the works of Chopin, came to life through the touch of piano soloist Marshall Butler, fa'42, in an outstanding offering of the evening. A second Chopin work found expression as Treva fa'40, using "The Malaise's Wish" followed by "Summer" (Charminde).
Call Nininger Back Twice

600 into Mess Hall for Annual R.O.T.C. Feast
- Hold Seventh 'Feed' in Memorial Union Cafeteria; Beef, Beans and Pics Comprise Menu
The battle cry was "food" as in-io the mess hall marched the 600.
to the mess hall marched the 600.
And "food" it was at the seventh annual R.O.T.C. barbecue—food fest par excellence on the military curriculum, held last night at 7 o'clock in the Memorial Union cafeteria.
Fourths (and even fifths for the slightly hungry) were literally "slung" as the guests wheted appetites on army rations of 999,999 baked beans, 300 pounds of barbecue beef, not to even mention some 175 pumpkin pies and 25 gallons of catus.
The good old army techniques of "speed" and "efficiency" were carried out to the letter, as all records were broken by the men who used only 17 and one-half minutes for serving time. Each year this race with time grows more competitive, so the winners come out the winner in the combat.
Holding his usual throne of master-of-ceremonies, host, bouncer, chief supervisor, and chief entertainer was Gst. William Kollerender, instructor of military science. Said he has a great interest in food field where I dare anyone to leave bungry, and without the aid of a wheelbarrow."
Torpsiorkhan talents provided the evening's social entertainment, as students from Haskell institute, costumed in graphic folk dress, performed a series of Indian dances. The Joyhawk Tumblers, under the guidance of Ms. Duncan, performed in physical education, gave an exhibition of their acrobatic stunts.
In addition to R.O.T.C. students and faculty, the guest list all, stag included R.O.T.C. alumni, National guard, reserves officers, and representative members of the University and residents of Lawrence.

Dean Lawson To Resume Duties
Lawson To Resume Duties
Paul B. Lawson, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, to the University at 6:30 last night.
With one eye on the Big Six championship, the other one on the Brewer field house jinx and both sharpened for the basket, the Jayhawker cagers entrained last night for Columbia, Mo., and their all-important tussle with Missouri tonight.
Kansas and Missouri Renew Cage Feud in Brewer Field House
Rest of Loop Beaten
These athletic rivals of the arch variety are topping the Big Six standings at present with two wins apiece, but after tonight one will take over the undisputed leadership and be called the favorite for a few days.
Since the formation of the league in 1928, Kansas has won more games there than any of the other Bengal opponents, yet the Jayhawks have compiled a record of only four victories against seven defeats.
In the league Kansas has defeated Oklahoma and Kansas State, while the Tigers have chalked up their wins at the expense of Iowa State and Nebraska. This leaves no basis of comparison.
By Jay Simon
However, the edge, if any, must go to the home team for Missouri is hard to beat on its small, raised rectangle.
Dr. F. C. Allen took along 10 men, but when he left he was still in the dark as to just who he planned to start. Ralph Miller, Bob Allen, and Dick Harp are sure-fire bats to get the go sign at forward, center, and guard, but there is some doubt as to whether the goal will be.
(Kansan Sports Editor)
The game will pit the leading offensive and defensive clubs of the conference. In the first two games Kansas scored 89 points and has three men among the five scoring leaders. Miller is on top with a 10-point average. Allen is in third place with 8, and Varan is for fifth with 7.5. To match this scoring machine, Coach George Edwards will present a quintet that has yielded only 49 points in its two games.
Not One-Track Teams
Either Eden Ebling, Howard Engleman, or Bruce Voraan will start opposite Miller in the front line. If Voran does not get the call at forward, he may start at guard in place of John Kline. Others making the trip are Bruce Reid, Bob Johnson, and Jack Sands.
Four of the old heads who plastered that humiliating 55 to 30 defeat on Kansas last year at Columbia will be in the starting lineup tonight. At forward will be Clay Cooper and Bill Harvey, both innible cagers who shoot those unorthodox, two-handed shot shots. Blaine Currence will open at the important pivot position, but he gets lots of assistance from Haskell Tison, the 6 foot 7-1-2 inch string bean who dealt the Jayhawkers so much misery here last year. Lobser Runs Figers
But don't get the idea that either is a one-track team. The Jayhawks have had only 29 points scored on them, and Missouri has not been exactly rattly in the offensive department having counted 72 points in two starts.
John Lobasiger, the main cog of the outfit, captains the team from a guard position. He is not scoring like he did a season ago, but is still one of the best defensive men in these parts His partner will be Martin Nash, a letterman last year, or Loren Mills, smooth-writing sophomore, who was on the course after playing junior college at Hammond Junior College.
These two teams will be starting on their second hundred in regard to the tournament they played. To do this, Kansas has a big advantage, having won 62 to the Tiger's 38.
Shipley To Design 'Cinderella' Sets Bill Shipley, fa 40, is designing the sets for "Cinderella," the children's Theater play to be given in Lawrence this week. Shipley will also serve as announcer at the play.
Overcoat Missing; Broke; Weather: 6
Lost or stolen: a green overcoat on the third floor of Frank Strong hall.
Zero weather, no overcaut, and no money to buy one is the situation Vittor Kutten, f'42, faces today as he learns that he has hardly gotuten way.
Strong hall Tuesday. It was a new one, paid for by a scrimping and saving that only one who has gone through college working long hours
Kalin's coat was taken from his ing for board, room, and tuition is on the third floor of Frank's herecane task for any self-de-
through college working long hours in cafes and on odd jobs can appreciate.
No more money exists to buy another coat to warm Kalin through the winter down to follow. Pay
pendent student. Losing a new hard-earned coat is a crisis hard to meet.
Kalin spent yesterday shivering his way about the Hill a bit dispirited about the loss of his "warmest" friend and slightly hopeful that the coat will be returned, proving that "man's inhumanity to man" does not exist at the University.
On the Shin
By Richard MacCann c'40
Somebody told me the other day that they're still writing those terrific movies about college life--you know, where somebody is the football ball, somebody else pays for the stadium, and the girl friend either leads everyone down the field chanting the title song, or winds up in a clinch in front of the sunset (or both).
Now if this sort of tripe is still good stuff—and if, as the registrar's office and I wistfully join in hoping, this writer is definitely going to graduate in '40—it's about time to plan on cashing in. A musical comedy about college life—there's always a market for a thing like that there? Expecially if the author writes strictly from imagination.
Of course, as an ethically trained and college-bred young dope, I'd want to try something altogether different. I'd want to tell the "REAL TRUTH" about University life, for once. Come to think of it, some students at KU are actually trying to make a movie of KU campus life. They might consider the following in the nature of practical suggestions.
Let's see now—the first act would run something like this. The Fair-Haired Maiden and the Tall-Dark-and-Handsome Lad stroll into an empty restaurant to enjoy a couple of lemonades.
T. D.H. Lad: "After all is said and done, though, it seems to me that the widespread belief in diatalecticalism is winning considerably now."
F-H Maiden (smiling faintly and nodding): "I hope you're right, but we need to watch out for the rise of people who claimed in the first place a different interpretation." The hovering waister does not allow the person on the floor. We note that hero and heroine look healthy and normal. They go out in a sober, contemplative mood. It's beautiful.
Act Two is very short. It simply shows five or six girls studying in a sorority room. The heavy silence is suddenly broken by a piercing shriek as one of the girls jumps up and waves at the audience (at least that's what it looks like). "Quiet! Quiet! Nothing but quiet! Study all day, then go and send it Why doesn't somebody talk or laugh or something?"
She thereupon breaks into a form of hysteria which vaguely resembles a tip-dance, as the band stikes up on "Time in the Old Town Tonight."
This obviously requires unusual acting talent. Not everybody can do this scene as it should be done, but it can mean that can even understand the thing.
The third act is very symbolic.
This fellow is sitting on the edge of a cliff, with books all around him, studying like the very devil. Appropriately enough, the devil himself appears from behind the cliff and beckons to our little friend.
Satan: "Come, my little chickadee! Bring your books and we shall dive into the ocean. You can study just as well while you're swimming!" (The ocean, you see, is just Symbiont for outside-activities-within-m-college.
But for all of Satan's horn-wag-
