New Courses Approved By Faculty
Aim To Aid Students In School of Education And Physical Education Department
The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts yesterday approved two new courses which will attract students beyond the limits of the College.
A course in children's literature (two hours), asked by the department of English, was established to benefit students in the College or the School of Education who are candidates for the "60-hour" teachers' certificate, recently established by the state board of education.
The faculty approved for general or professional credit a group of courses offered by the department of physical education.
Offer New Plan
Until the reorganization of the department of physical education a year ago, the College had permitted credit in the miscellaneous group for some 13 hours of theory courses in physical education. With the reorganization, College approval of the courses lapsed when the title content of courses, and prerequisites were updated every day. College approval was restored to substantially the same courses as before and in addition, another group of courses was opened under the professional option.
To Require Children's Literature
"Under the old set-up," said Dean Paul B. Lawson, "some young men who have attained excellent reputations as coaches and physical education directors, majored in a College department, took needed physical education courses under the regulations of the A.B. degree. I might mention such men as Forstert Cox, now at Colorado; Arthur "Dutch" Lonborg, Andy McDonald, Melvin Griffith, and Charlie Black."

**book on the English children's literature for the English department, Dean Lawson explained is one of some 24 hours of specific courses that are to be required of prospective teachers in the public schools of Kansas.**
"The last session of the legislature abolished the old 60-hour certificate that had in its requirements only three specific courses of three hours coach, and has substituted a course 24 or 25 hours out of 60 of which are specified," said Dean Lawson. "The state board of education is hopeful that within five years every teacher in the primary schools of Kansas will have had at least 60 hours of college training."
Upon recommendation of the so-
ministrative committee, the facu-
lity appears to have a good de-

Hitler Returns In Triumph
D er Fuehrer Back to Berlin for Celebration: May Quit as Chancellor
Berlin, March 15—(UP) —Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, who will be received in Berlin tomorrow like a conquering Caesar back from the wars, may turn over his title of German chancellor to Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goebbey and become "Fuehrer of the Great Germany," according to widespread reports here tonight.
Hilter arrived in Munich by airplane this evening from Vienna after proclaiming Austria as a state of the Third Reich.
The impression spread among Nazis was that Hitler, consolidating his new domain, would establish his trusted lieutenants in power in Berlin and Vienna, and give himself a new rank of supreme authority.
It is quite likely that Hitler might set up his new headquarters in Munich in order to be in closer touch with Austrian affairs. He never has liked Berlin as a place of residence, preferring the surroundings of his native city of Vienna. When he has slipped away to his Berthessgaden mountain retreat.
Munich is only a short distance from Berchtesgaden and is close by what was the Austro-German border, until he wiped it out by his bloodless anexation of Austria four days ago.
Hilier arrived at Munich by military airplane from Vienna and received the wildest reception ever experienced in city during his five years of power.

Dim, Murky Basement Room Is Setting for 'Winterset'
Designs Copied From Broadway
Trailing Peck and Praile in the men's contest are Bob Packard, c'uncil; Bill O'Shea, c'40; and Flash Morris, c'38. Geniece Gaylord, c'41; and Helen Payne, c'unel, are followed by Patti Payne, c'41; Mary Noel, c'uncil; Roberta Cook, fa 39; and Betty Butcher, c'41.
But last night the settings weren't just settings. They were real and come into being as Trock Estrela, Alpha Perry, c'40, menaced the lives of the characters. The pipe that leads to the entrance home, or rather rooms, has heat as Don Dixon, a half-wit bit, comes in to beg for its warmth.
It's a basement room. A single dim light burns in its dank murkness. There's a bridge outside, and under its shadow humans cringe and suffer.
It is the stage setting for the Max-
well Anderson drama, "Winterset," for which resorted seat tickets will be purchased in the basement of Green hall.
Barcelona, March 16 (Wednesday)
—(UP) “The Spanish Loyalist government announced early today following an emergency cabinet session that Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s ‘win the war’ drive to the Mediterranean east coast has been smashed.
In the center of the stage Judge Guant sighs before a crude table and fancies that he is in a court room. In the left corner of the stage is a book case whereon the old, suffering Jew Eadras, places his Talmud, full of truth, yet the truth cannot help him. Joined the blind, it is too
Loyalist reserves, the government staid, stemmed an advance led by German and Italian divisions which poured across the Aragon front—60 miles in 6 days—to within 41 miles of the Mediterranean seaboard.

Hendaye, France-Spanish Frontier,
March 16. — (UP) — Generalissimo
Francisco Franco announced early
today that his insurgent column, led
by Italian "black arrow" legionnaires,
was driving a massive assault in an
offensive designed to lay Loyalist
spain in half.
The emergency cabinet session ended at midnight and a spokesman said "all necessary measures" had been taken to throw back France's forces who have cut the main line of government communication between Barcelona and the southern Loyalist cities of Madrid and Valencia.
The Loyalists denied that the Barcelona government was tottering as rumored at the frontier during the past 12 hours or that it was ready to sue for armistice, but Insurgent dispatches quoted Loyalist prisoners as saying the situation in Barcelona was desperate and that the time was "propitious" for a Catalonian surrender.
Peck last night held a four-vote margin over "Fascinatell" Fred Pralle, c38, in the race for the "Most Fascinating He." Miss Miller led by a two-to-one majority over her rival for "Most Alluring She."

Future Roaming House
Survey Dependent Upon
Future Appropriations
From Administration
Insufficient Funds Hinder Inspection
"The future of roaming house inspection at the University depends on whether we get an appropriation from the Administration." Wilbur Leonard, 'C3B, student inspector, said yesterday following a meeting of the University Housing committee to consider plans for next year.
A budget to cover next year's program, now under consideration by the committee, will call for approximately $1000.
"Our funds this year," Leonard said, "constituted of $100 each from M.S.C. a and W.S.G.A., about $150 from the Administration, and our 50 per cent share of the inspection fees."
Three Plans Considered
Three alternative plans are being considered for next year as follows:
The committee has inspected 222 of more than 400 men's rooming houses this year, Leonard reported. Half of the $1 inspection fee goes to the Alumnae association, with the committee receiving 76 of the other 30 cents.
Three alternative plans are being considered for next year as follows. 1. A system of grading room houses as to their comparative ability to meet a standard set by the housing committee.
2. A five-year plan under which the housing committee would set up minimum requirements to be met by 1943.
3. Continuance of the present system of voluntary inspection with rejection or acceptance based on predetermined standards.
"A grading system tends to shoot up prices on better houses," Leonard said in commenting on the proposals. "If, however, housing was put on a five-year plan, owners would have time to make gradual improvements until the standards were met."
Chancellor Approves Program
In addition to an appropriation the committee will ask the Administration to support a move to make housing inspection compulsory Members of the committee felt that this plan is the only one under which an inspection program car function successfully.
"Compulsory housing has been in use for some time at Kansas State," Leonard stated. "At Manhattan, enrollment is cancelled if the student does not live in an approved house." ("The Men's Student Council last
