Loyalists Give Up Madrid To End Spain's Civil War
Nationalist Troops Capture City Without Firing of a Shot; Republican Resistance Reported Collapsing Everywhere; Trucks Haul in Bread As People Hail Peace
Madrid, March 28—(UCP)—Republicans surrendered the beleganted city of Madrid unconditionally today and victorious nationalists troops under Gen. Francisco Franco occupied the city with Italian soldiers leading the van.
General Franco was in personal command on the 200,000 troops which occupied the fallen city.
The white flag of surrender and the red and gold banner of the Nationalists fluttered from the tallest buildings and appeared in windows everywhere.

Peonle Hail War's End
The Republican resistance was collapsing everywhere simultaneously with the surrender of the capital.
A Nationalist radio announcement said the Republic, army resistance was wholly broken on the Cordoba and Toledo fronts.
Move Troops From Toledo
Madrid was captured without the firing of a shot. The population, half-starved and of inecessant bombardment by air bombs and artillery through many dreadful fireworks, rejoiced that peace had come.
Nationalist trucks piled high with bread moved into the city to feed the famished people.
Among the troops participating in the occupation of Madrid either by direct penetration or encirclement were a corps of foreign volunteers commanded by Gen. Saliquet and three mixed Italian-Spanish Green Arrow, Blue Arrow and Black Arrow divisions commanded by Gen. Gaeta Gambara, Italian military chief in Spain.
Five corps which participated in the Toledo offensive moved up by motor by way of Aranjuez into the city and meticulously capturing the capital from the south.
Madrid, March 28—(UP)—Victorious Gen. Francisco Franco broadcast over the Madrid radio today a promise of full pardon for all Republican soldiers not guilty of crimes.

Governor Signs Regents Bill
- Law Now Provides for Five-Four Membership on Board
A bill to create a bi-partisan state board of reps was signed yesterday by Gov. Payne H. Rattner. In signing the bill the governor said he believed the measure will take the board "out of partisan politics."
He also stated the "measure was not designed to interfere in the selection of a chancellor for the University of Kansas." Chancellor E H. Lindley has resigned, effective July 1, and the present board of regents has been conducting a search for his successor.
The new law provides that membership on the board from the major parties shall be on a five to four division.
In a statement issued after signing the new bill, Governor Ratten said, "This measure, I am convinced, will definitely take the state board of education in our state. It will forestall any future possibility of political influence in our state institutions of higher education. Under its provisions the two major parties will have almost equal representation. They will be enabled to work on a co-operative basis for school districts and school schools That is as it should be.
"With this bill, four additional state institutions come under the supervision of the board of regents. They are the school for the blind at Kansas City, the school for the deaf and other disabled students for colored youth, Western University at Kansas City and the Kansas Vocational School at Topeka.

Key-note Speech By Morrow
The convention will be called to order Friday morning at 10 o'clock in Hoch auditorium by David Gamball, chairman of the national executive board and delegate from the University of Colorado. Highlights of this session, which will last until noon, will be the key-note speech by Mr. Marco Morrow, vice-president and assistant publisher of the Capper Publications, Topica, celler E H. Lindley. Introduction of and the speech of welcome by Chan-delegations will also take place at this time.
Spring crossed up the students and budding flowers at the State U. this morning with a treacherous display of winter weather. The temperature, so gratify last week, is now averaging 24 inches of snow, sheet and rain fall to dampen the spirits around Mt. Oread.
It may not be unusual for March weather to change suddenly but it's awfully discouraging. The moral seems to be not to plan steak-frys when you should be studying for mid-semester anyway.
There is something paradoxical about climbing out of bed stuff from playing tennis and then domning the rug. They've packed to send home a week ago.
Ol' Man Winter
Gives Students the 'Run Around'
Choose Beauties To Enter Contest
★ The 'Man on the Street'
Will Be the Final Judge
In Jayhawker Contest
This year a new method of judging will be introduced, according to Tom Yoch, c39, editor. The pictures which will be printed by a local photographer, will be taken to Kunigawa and rained by ten men picked at random.
Fifteen of the Hill's reigning beauties have been chosen to enter the finals of the Jayhawker Magazine's annual beauty contest. Winners of the contest, which was open to all University women, will be featured in the Commencement issue of the Jayhawker.
The "man on the street" method, Yoe feels, is much fairest and more accurate than sending the photographs to a celebrity who will allow his secretary to make the choice. The latter method results in only one person's opinion while the former gives a concensus.
The fifteen who will enter the finals are:
The first five winners will be given page pictures, and the next ten, smaller photographs in the last issue of the Jayhawker of this year. Last year's queen was Mary Alice Livingston, c29, a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Runner-up was Ella Tremblay, a winner of a trophy in 1837 was Mary Jane McCoy, c40, of Pi Beta Phi.

A. Yes and for several reasons
Pachacamac Announces Party Platform
4. We will publicize the University of Kansas by a motion picture depicting University life. It will be produced and distributed by the University Extension Division with the cooperation and financial backlog related among the high schools and other local institutions of the state.
5. The districting of the independent student rooming houses in order to expand the men's intramural program and give each unauthorized individual access to participate in all types of competitive contests.
"I pledge myself to the fulfillment of this platform. As is evidenced by his past record of fulfilling campaign promises, Pachacamac will continue to give the student body democratic, economical, and efficient student government." Oakson said in a written statement.
Q. Is it true that you could smell ham burning through most of the three acts?
3. Obtain honors conventions for recognition of all athletes. We will continue to cooperate with the athletic association.
Most important to the Pachaaca macs is the plank stressing the student employment bureau. The setup according to their plan will pro

This Is About Robertson And a Post; Ho Hum
Commenting on the platform John Okson, c'40, Rising Sun presidential candidate for the Men's Student Council, said, "The Society of Pachacamac has submitted another outstanding platform, every plank an important campus problem demanding action by the student body."
An unorthodox play deserves a unorthodox review. And anyone who saw "Outward Bound" as presented by the Kansas Players in Fraser theater last night will agree that it was about the strangest dramatic vehicle ever to develop a flat tire on the local stage.
The Pachacamae platform as presented to the student body is as follows:

- Every Plank of the Five Point Program Is a Vital Campus Problem Needing Action, Says Oakson
By Jim Robertson, c'40
A. Yes. Half the time I couldn't tell which was the post and which was Rula Nucklez. He played the part of not—that it makes much difference.
In writing any sort of criticism, the critic must first ask himself certain questions. Of course he usually uses himself a bunch of questions that aren't pertinent and therefore answers them impertinently.
By Reginald Buxon
The Pachacampe political machine shifted into second gear today, announcing a five-plank platform on which it will campaign for the coming election.
Q. But didn't your seat have certain disadvantages?
So just for the sake of being as "different" as the play at hand, the critic has selected to interview himself with the following results.
Q. I hear that your seat was behind a post. Did you mind?
A. Oh not at all! Nobody mind sitting behind a post.

A. The customers thought he was great and I agree with them. You know he directed the play too, and possibly the rest of the cast would have done better if he could have learned more to guide them at rehearsals.
Something about the acting was strangely reminiscent of a high school senior play back in Marysville, and I love to reminisce. But don't get me wrong on this point. Jessica Crafton as Mrs. Midget verged on being a foolplay-goer see character portrayal as fine as hers.
Q. Last night's audience is still talking about Robert Calderwood in the role of Scrubby, the bartender. What of him?
Q. You haven't mentioned Roberta Cook yet as Ann. Didn't you mean to?

Q. Should we pause here a moment and tell Marvin M. Moon that he 'don't need to work so hard in the
Q. Was the play at all humorous?
A. Well the audience got two big laughs.
Once when Mr. Prior (Marvin M. Moon) called Mr. Lingley (Bill Shipley) a blue-nosed baboon and again when he named Mrs. Clivenden-Banks (Betty Burch) an ostrich. Frankly, I thought there were funnier lines in the play than those. Another thing that disturbed me was the way that house full of doper laughed everytime a character said
A. Oh, heavens yes. She was one of the few things in the show that looked better to me than the final curtain.
first scene of the third act? I think all that mugging would have been highly unnecessary even if someone had been looking at him, don't you?
Q. Did anything about the play worry you?
A. Well the fact that it was an English play no one but Jessica Crafton spokes "English" didn't exactly put me at ease.
Q. Didn't you notice Gordon Brig ham as the Rev. William Duke?
A. I was just making ready to say that he furnished a certain amount of virility that was sadly lacking in most of the scenes.
Q. And Elmer McCarty as Rev Frank Thomson?
A. That guy McCarty always rings the bell, I think I'll give him my gold Sunday school button for his record of perfect performances.
Q. Do you care to say something about the play itself?
A. Yes, but I'll play safe and quote the fellow who wrote the program notes: "For all its apparent realism, it has a generous trace of mysticism that must be accepted accordingly, without too much logical questioning."
Q. What about lighting, staging, and anything else?
A. The half I saw was pretty much okay, but you see that post . . .
Q. Are we back wether we started?
A. Yeah, I'm afraid so. You know I think we ought to explain to a potential public that the foregoing is purely one man's opinion, and that you don't want to keep them from seeing the play.
House Promises K.U. Red Data To Dies Committee
- Kansas Representatives Vote to Give Un-American Activities Committee Board of Regents' Information on Don Henry Enlistment and Alleged Subversive Activities at the University
Topeka, March 28—(UP)The Kansas House of Representatives today passed a resolution promising to furnish the Dies Un-American Activities Investigation committee with "hitherto unpublished information," concerning the Don Henry case and alleged subversive activities at the University of Kansas.
The resolution called for a special committee to be appointed "to receive from the Board of Regents" material collected by in the Henry investigation.
Illness Changes Concert Program
'Piano Concerto' Delayed Until Later in Music Festival
Because pianist Jan Chiappus is still in bed with influenza, the University Band will be unable to play the first movement of Tschaikowski's "Piano Concerto" planned for the Thursday night band concert in Hoch auditorium. According to Werner, the music band, the difficult number may be played later during the Music Festival.
In place of the concerto, the band has substituted three numbers:
"Deep Purple," modern tone poem (Peter De Rose), by a saxophone quintet composed of Russell Chambers, fa'41, Joseph McAnarney, fa'40, Bud Balazar, fa'unel, Art Olsen, e'42, James Berkson, fa'42, a suite "Pictures at an Exhibition," the Waves," trio for cornets (Clarke) part three (Moussorgkpy); "Bride of by Robert Boyle, fa'39, Louis Maser, fa'39, and Eugene Crabb, fa'uncl.
The principal offering of the band will be its premier presentation of "Oread Symphony for Band," in four movements. The symphony is a composition of William Ward, fa'40, who will lead the first two movements, H. Lynn Hackler, fa'30, will conduct the third movement, Tempo Di Swing, and Professor Wiley will conduct the final movement, Allegro Moderato and Moderato Maestoso.
It has been the practice of Professor Wiley to mail invitations to out-of-town patrons including music supervisors and high school musicians. This year nearly two thousand were sent to 10 schools in Kansas City and to schools in Atchison, Leavenworth, Topeka, Ottawa, Huron, St. Louis, Humboldt, Nebr. Professor Wiley expects about 1,000 to attend the Thursday night concert from outside Lawrence and the University.
Soprano Recital on KFKU Tonight
Alice Marie Meyn, f39, soprano will broadcast a half-hour recital over station KFKU at 6 o'clock tonight. Accompanist for Miss Meyn is Lucille MeVev, f39, pianist.
The regular program was altered so that the recital might be presented Mildred Seaman, assistant director of KFKU, announced yesterday.
Representative Clarence Oakes, author of the resolution, quoted from a letter received from the Diels committee saying, "such information would supplement our records on the general subject or recruiting of American boys for the war in Spain."
The resolution sponsored by Oakes is the latest in a series of maneuvers by him in an attempt to reopen the "red" investigation that was started on the campus late in 1977 by the Board of Regents, at the request of E. R. Henry, father of Done Henry who was killed in Spain.
Last November the Board of Regents published a summary of their investigation in which they stated that Communism existed to no greater degree here than at any other large university.
Besides stating that some Communistic and Fascist activity existed at the University the committee absolved the University faculty from any "red" tinge and stated that the university was under the operation of University authorities."
Members of the investigation committee were Ralph T. O'Neill, chairman of the Board of Regents, Dr. John E. McCarthy and the late Charles F. Scott, Joe.
Oakes charged in the House of Representatives March 18 that a "New Deal" Board of Regents had the investigation of radicalism here.
Chancellor Lindley conducted a personal investigation and found the funds used by Don Henry and Ken Woolf in the state prison were not raised on the campus.
The charges grew out of proposed legislation which has since become law, to reorganize the present Board and add nine-number, non-partisan Board.
Ookes read a letter from Henry in which he said he had been "specifically denied the privilege of revealing the contents of the real report made by the investigating committee to the Board of Regents.
At the time W. H. Shattuck of Clark answered Oakes by saying "The Board of Regents is composed of high class men. It has nothing to do with radicalism at K. U. or any other school . . . I resent any thing that would make Me Dale had anything to do with stifling the investigation or that cx-Governor Huxman ever had anything to do with stifling it."
A note of irony was added to the resolution presented today with the president's address, that there had been terminated with the unconditional surrender of Madrid.
No Election Date Set by M.S.C.; Politicians Agree on I.S.A.
By Reginald Buxton, c'40 Katherine Political Writer
No election date tonight said the Pacachac majority to the P.S.G.L. as the Men's Student Council met last evening.
Setting the day of the great event has devolved into pure political maneuvering. The date may be settled in a special meeting before Easter or it may come after Easter with both sides hoping the other's campaign lays a nice big egg in the meantime.
For a pre-election meeting political bickering was at a minimum. Both parties agree that the indebtedness should be Kent clear of politics.
Louquacius Andy Hilbard, c38 Pecachamac, who would attempt an addendum to the Lord's Prayer, discoursed loud and long on the necessities of life, becoming a political football, "Anything they need can be taken can

The Council reached down into its sock and drew out $75 for the Forum's board and $100 for the Housing Inspection committee.
