Pope Pius XII Pleas for Peace In First Speech
- Hopes To Carry On Where Late Pius XI Left Off in Fight for Good Will Among Men
Vatican City, March 3—(UPP) Pope Paul II, XII, assuming his duties as leader of the Catholic Church to seek religious peace for peace and good among men.
"Peace means mutual understanding and cordial collaboration in the great human family for true progress and civilization. The first message of the successor to St. Peter cannot be anything else but a message of peace, the peace with which the All Mighty rewards those who defeat desire and prepare for peace or victory, the peace with which peace; for that peace for which our predecessors prayed and for which he offered his life to guard."
Speaking from the Sistine Chapel in which he was selected, the 22nd pope only yesterday in succession to Plus XI, the new pope said:
It had been forecast, when he was elected, that the new pope's reign would be one dedicated to world pacification. He mentioned world peace three times during his brief speech.
He began his message by expressing the profundity of his feeling at having been chosen supreme pontifex and based upon his reference to peace he said:
Ray Harris, University of Kansas middle distance star, regained his eligibility last night and will come on Saturday for a field event in Columbia. Saturday.
"We also address ourselves to non-Catholics who we desire to let know that in this solemn hour of the day God will send them every aid."
Harris Declared Eligible for Track
Harris, a transfer from Trenton
Mo. Junior College, received an
incomplete in a class in logic for the
first semester and so was ineligible
until he took a quiz to remove the
incomplete.
Tomorrow he probably will run in both the one mile and two mile runs. Last fall, in the conference two mile race, Harris finished second in the time of 9:28, a new K. U. record. In October, she won the N.C.A.R. 4:21. He is surpassed only by Glenn Cunningham in the history of middle distance runners at K. U.

ON THE SHIN

Ye Shimster's personal nomination for the most cautious predictor of all is the radio announcer who wouldn't say last night's game with Missouri was on ice until two minutes before the final gun.
The LSA's promotion of "Sadie Hawkin's Day" to be climaxed by a hoe-down in the Union ballroom tomorrow night should meet with the approval of reticent boys, what with girls getting to ask them for dates. The boys will probably run about as fast as turtles tended when such beauties as Genevieve Harmon, Kathryn Krainbill, Hloe Hays, Mary Lou Ekstrom and Helen Pierce start chasing.
Of course it doesn't make any difference, but in case you know who really sculpted the "Dream Girl" pictured in Wednesday's Kansas City Star, please speak up. Pi K A'cain claim it was their workwork—so do the boys at 1254 Oreson. Now a stooge reports having heard some Piai Fai's plotting a massacre of the twelfth street gang.

When the applicants were being given their physical examination, Kurth was persuaded by his roommate, Vernon May, ed'40, into going along while he took his examination. While he was there, although he had no inquiries about his application for the school, Kurth underwent the examination.
Taking advantage of an opportunity for a physical examination may have gotten Dwight Kurtz, ed'40 into the new air school.
When he learned yesterday that his name and not May's was on the list of 20 that had been approved he was surprised.
He will replace Alex Fielder, instructor, and Jan Chipunso, associate professor of piano, who had been scheduled for the program.

Taxis and Flowers '86 At Junior Prom of 1919
At 3:15 this afternoon no decision had been reached as to whether or not Negro students would be admitted to the Junior Prom tonight as spectators, Henry Werner, adviser to men, said that he had been unable to contact the proper persons to make the ruling, and that the decision would be given out later.
BULLETIN
Count Basic will be tickling the ivories tonight at the Union ballroom when the socialites gather to swing out at Mt. Oread's biggest social splash of the year, the Junior team. The team will last from 10 p.m. to 2 p.m.
By Walter Meininger, c'41
The ballroom should present a very different picture tonight than was to be seen at Junior Proms in the past. The dance has long been considered the outstanding social affair at the University but dancers back in 1919 must have really taken it seriously.
Clippings from the Kansan for that year tell us that the party was held from 7:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. No

Debaters Discuss New Deal Polices
The value of the pump-priming methods used by the present administration was the subject of a round table presented last night at 9:30 over KFKU by four members of the University debate squad.
All members who cannot attend are asked to call Jean Brown, c'42, or George Michal, fs.
They will discuss plans for initiation of new members and correspondence with national officers.
The informal discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of of pump priming was led by Omer Voss, 139. Donald Haymene, c'uncl; John Lintner, e'uncl; and Leo Rhodes, b'40, gave their opinions of the definition of pump priming, its history, and their ideas of the results obtained so far in the New Deal spending program.
The discussion ended with the debaters agreeing that pump-priming was necessary in 1933 and that it could not be dispensed with at the present time. However the group disagreed on the extent that the policy should be carried out by the government, and whether it should remain as a permanent feature of the government program.
Literary Club Anniversary Plans to Be Discussed
NOTICE
The program was informal and extemporaneous, each speaker answering questions put to him by Voss.
Closing hours for those attending the Junior Prom have been officially extended to 2:30 a.m.
GEVENE LANDRITH,
Pres. W.S.G.A.
In 1926 the From committee was a little more lenient. Flowers and toxins were all right. That year the dancers drank punch and ate ice cream between dancing to the "ensemble" of their guests. Decorations featuring a "large yellow moon" aided in making the carty easy.
At that dance a little over a decade ago men students were informed that if they did not own a tux there was no cause for alarm because "several down town merchants had some they were willing to rent."
Tonight's prom will last only four hours and there are no any ice cream but it should carry on trade-crime being a highly successful dance.
The party is the only formal class dance of the year. Tickets purchased at the main desk in the Union building lounge at the Bell Music office will be $2.00. Tickets at the door will be $2.25.

A temporary removal of visiting hours during the current flu epidemic prevented students from taking radios directly to the patient's room and came easy to the occasion, completing delivery and installing the sets.
Student Room Destroyed by Fire
The blaze started in the basement and destroyed a room, rented by Bert Brandt, c'uncel, and nearly all of his belongings among which were two cameras, valued at $200. Brandt is working his way through school by taking pictures for the "Jay hawker" and other publications.
A fire, the cause of which was undetermined, broke out about 9:55 o'clock this morning at the home of C. Vickers, 1325 West Campus, destroying almost everything in the house and causing damage throughout the rest of the house. The total loss has not yet been determined.
The smoke damage on the second and third floors was caused by the flames extending up through a wall, almost reaching the second floor.

- Missouri Amazes Kansans With Easy 55-30 Triumph To Annex First Pennant Since 1930; Oklahoma Has Chance for First Place Tie With Two Games Remaining
By Milt Meier, c'39 Kansan Sports Editor
A dazzling offensive swept
Columbia, Mo., March 3—(Special)—The University of Missouri Tigers today sported their Big Six conference basketball championship since 1930, having clawed a dazed Kansas Jayhawker into submission here last night, 55 to 30.
the Missourians into the lead after the first two minutes of play and they never were headed. Missouri led at the half, 29 to 11.
It was the one-hundredth basketball meeting between the Tiger and the Jayhawk and the most severe trucunning Kansas has ever suffered ni the long series which began in 1907. A capacity crowd of 5,200 students crowded Brewer's Field house for the contest. Missouri Offense Sparkles
Kansas was badly off form and was outwounded by the Tigers from the opening gun. Missouri's basketball-shooting sparkled, its defense was air-tight, but the ability of the taller Tigers to control rebounds was the largest factor in the smashing victory.
The outcome of two games still to be played by the Oklahoma Sooners with Kansas State and Nebraska will determine whether Missouri has an undisputed claim to the crown. If Oklahoma wins both its remaining conference champions, the conference town will be held jointly by the two schools.
Ralph Miller opened the scoring with a long shot that gave Kansas a two point margin. A free throw by Blaine Currance, and Bill Harlan, led to the lead at the en dof the first minute of play. Hal Halsted fouled Howard Engleman and the Jayhawk forward sang his free shot to tie the count. Here the Tigers began a consistent rash on the basket, sinking the net in half of shot to boost a 14 to 7 lead after 11 minutes. Kansas Can't Click
Harlan Keisey, senior forward, paced the Tigers with 14 points but it was the brilliant passing and guarding of Capt. John Lobiger that sparked the Missourians to their overwhelming victory.
From here on, Kansas never displayed the slightest threat. Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen tried combination after combination but to no avail. The Tigers drove around the defense in ins with unenemy accuracy and threw up a defensive wall that smothered every Kansas drive.
Lyman Cortis, who played his last game for Kansas, led his team with eight points, scoring all but one in

Late in the second period, John Kline and Allen left the game on fouls and Halsted was lost to the Tigers for the same reason. When Allen committed his fourth personal, Arch Watson slipped in his free shot and play was resumed for a moment before the Kansas substitute could

the second period. Bob Allen also totaled eight points but no other Kanans consistently showed any edge of the location of the basket.

Contest Passes First Milestone
- Signed Blanks Should Be at Granada Theater by Tomorrow Midnight
Today's Kansan is the last issue of the paper for competition in this week's University Daily Kansan-merchants Merchants $700 award contest.
It is still possible to enter the contest this week. Those who enter the contest the first week, will stand a good chance to win the grand prize at the end of the contest which lasts eight weeks.
Any student subscriber to the University Daily Kansan is eligible or the grand prizes which will be awarded to the entrants with the highest total of votes for the eight-week period of the contest. All entrants should have their signed adhesbs deposited in the foyer of the Granada theater by tomorrow at midnight.
The rules are simple. The only thing the student needs to do is to clip out the ad-blanks from each issue of the Kansan, fill in the required material, and take them into the stores of Lawrence merchants or their validating signatures. These signatures count as votes. The number of votes any entrant receives depends on the number of inches of hair he receives credit for, which in turn depends on how many signatures he collects from Lawrence merchants.
Students who receive awards this week are well on their way toward the grand prize to the New York Vair, and the subsidiary theater members-up. This week the following merchants are living prizes:
Eight merchants are giving credit worth $24 in $3 sales. Allison-Armstrong Flower Shop, Bell's Music Book, Coo Knob, Burgert's Shoe vise Station, Cute Toys vise Station, Cole's Ready to Wear, and Fritz company.
Five merchants are giving credit; worth $15 in $3 slips; Gustafson College Jeweler, Haynes and Keene Shoe Store, Independent Laundry, Kansas Electric Power, and Montgomery-Ward And Co.
Six other merchants are giving $3 in credit slips; Shimmon's Shop, Stowits Rexall Drugs, Ward's Flower Shop, Weaver's, Winter Chevrolet, and the Dickenson theater.
Three merchants are giving credit worth $9 in $3 slips: Ober's, Royal College Shop, and Motor In.
Each of these 22 merchants is a registered sponsor, having subscribed $3.00 a week for the eight weeks of the contest, to insure its success. This makes a total of $66 a week in prize, being awarded by Lawrence merchants to students who win the highest number of votes. Ad-banks signed by any of these registered sponsors count 100 Ad-banks. Ad-banks signed for advertisements of any other merchant in the Kansas count double votes for each one-inch ad.
First announcements of awards will be made from the stage of the Granada theater, Tuesday, March 7, at 9 p.m.
