Kevin Kaiser, maker of the week, will be the guest Last night in Hoch auditorium the Rev. Pole Potet addressed a meeting, attended largely by townpeople and faculty members, on the subject of "Love and War." Confessing that he is an unqualified pacifist—and realizing that such people are pointed out to him, Pole Potet declared—Doctor Potet nevertheless declared that such a point of view is practical as well as inexpensive. He cited an incident of a British soldier in China who prevented an international incident by refusing to attack an insulting crowd. He concluded his speech with an appeal to "have the courage to be a coward." "Attempts to preserve national sovereignty by violence leads to self-destruction," he said. "Jesus told us to turn the other check. We don't do it, but it is the most successful way. In personal and in international relations, we shouldn't try to win a victory but to win a friend." The Westmaster A Cappella choir, under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout, of the School of Fine Arts, sang two numbers: "Hall, Gladdening Light," by Wood, and a traditional folk song by Cokley As the culmination of a series of meetings on the general topic of "The Place of the Church in Contemporary Confusion," Doctor Poste will comment on "Bedlam and Blue Glasses" at the dinner this evening in the Memorial Union cafeteria at 5:45 o'clock.

To most persons the name "Communist" is new that is, it hasn't been used very frequently until the last few years. It is not a newly coined word, however. Away back in 1620 the "Corn Law Rhymester" of England ran the following definition in poetry: What is a Communist? For equal division of unequal earnings. Idler or bungler, or both, he is willing To fork out his copper, and pocket your shilling.

It is alleged that when Capt. Royal E. Ingersoll, chief of the United States planning board, visited London recently, he brought along copies of the stolen plans, presumably to consult with British naval authorities. The plans were "stolen with great skill" by Navy officials and the United States intelligence service operating in Tokyo," the magazine asserted. "The British intelligence people had had no luck—possibly with a Dean's Choir To Sing A Cappella Group Will Give Concert Sunday Night The Westminster A Cappella choir of 70 voices will give its mid-winter concert Sunday at the First Presbyterian Church at 7:30 p.m. The choir, under the direction of Dean D.

To Show Educational Film Tonight "The price of admission was $1 when I saw it," said Prof. Loren Eisley of the department of sociology. He was referring to the eight-telre talketing entitled "The Human Adventure," which University students will be able to see free tonight of charge. First of Community Lecture Series This Semester To Be Given in Hoch Auditorium The picture will be shown at 8:20 in Hoch auditorium as the first number of the second semester in the community lecture series. Professor Eiseley recommends the picture very highly as being educational and well worth seeing. Fourteen exploring expeditions were sent out by the institute and they visited Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Anatolia, Iraq and Iraq, all of which are traced in the picture by a picturesque air route. Eight of these expeditions may be seen in the access road, far-off lands, historic objects of great significance in the development and civilization of man. "The Human Adventure" is based on ancient history, and was three years in the making. It is an interesting and fascinating subject in which man's significant past and his rise from savagery to civilization are colorfully depicted. The film has been produced as the result of research and explorations of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, under the supervision of Dr. James H. Breasted, noted archaeologist, historian, and director of the institute. Two separate trips were made from Chicago to the Near East to produce the extraordinary film. Approximately 32,000 feet of film were exposed and much of the picture was made from the air in more than 9,000 miles ofobyte film. Doctor Breasted himself is seen and heard narrating the features and interesting work of the expeditions. A flight was made over the Persian mountains and also over Iraq in a severe sandstorm which almost incredibly reached the height of 15,000 feet. The stables of. Kiel Solomon and wheat from the times of Joseph are scenes of biblical significance which were revealed in the excavation and unearthing of 14 separate cities which were built one upon the other. First Professional Pictures Shown The first professional motion pictures on standard size film of Persepolis, the capital of the Persian Empire, are featured at the end of the picture. Persepolis was founded in 500 B.C. The curved film was produced by virtue of an infinite amount of work and heavy expense on the part of Doctor Breasted and his associates and, in addition to being an important historical record, it throws an educational and intriguing light on the activities of ancient man. Two large sound projectors have been installed in the auditorium for the film, which is too expensive to be shown at commercial theaters. Kansas, considerable cloudiness with rising temperatures Thursday; Friday unsettled and warmer. WEATHER "Don't complain on Thursday night that you can't get a seat for the Dramatics Club play," advised Don Dixon, business manager of the company. "If you can one see the play if they reserve 'heir tickets in plenty of time.'" Starting today, activity tickets may be reserved at the ticket office in Green hall. Single admission tickets cost fifty cents. The production will be given Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week. Past experience has proved that, it is more profitable to present productions four rather than five nights. "However, everyone can't go on the tour," he said. He asked this confusion by reserving their seats now." Dixon pointed out. "Only so many people can see the play each night," Dixon added. "If the house is sold out I can't do a thing about it, but if the students will co-operate by reserving tickets on one of the first two nights if possible." Must Get Seats Early For Play 'Spring Dance' A man with boundless good humor, a mustache, and a consuming interest in music has been talking loudly to university students for the past two days. The University Band of 92 pieces will leave tomorrow morning for a group of concerts in Kansas City. Four concerts will be played during the day, a broadcast over radio station KSYY, and an evening concert will complete the tour. The band is directed by Prof Russell L. Wiley. Band To Give Four Concerts Ninety - Two Members Will Leave Tomorrow For Kansas City "I've seen nearly everything," he said. "Things were happening all the time in China." He was there as a missionary and as a professor of philosophy at the University of Shanghai. Two numbers by Haydon Wood, "Mannin Veen" and "Virginia" a Southern Rhapsody, are the featured numbers on the program. The overture to the third act of "Lohengrin" (Wagner) and "From Africa" (Bemer) will be used, as well as other stirring compositions for band. Two 50-minute concerts will be presented at Wyandotte High School in the morning, and two 50-minute concerts at Argentine High School in the afternoon. The student bodies of these high schools are too large to meet in the auditorium, at one thus necessitating two concerts. Tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock concert will be played at Shawnee Mission High School. "I once attended a Communist rally where the foreigners were the The Jayhawk Trumpeteers, Robert Boyle, *fau*;乳令 Masa Master, *fau*; and Leo Horacek, c'41; will play two cornet trios, "Valse Caprice" (Short) and "The Three Aces" (Clarke).

Rex Connor, fauncl, will play a tuba solo, "Sounds from the Hudson" (Clarker) and James Van Dyke (Roberts) in Lale. Lake (Roberts), a baritone solo. Poteat, Minister, Musician Has Seen Nearly All the World Other features of the concerts will be "fire-stick" twitching by Robert Hampel, e'40, and some magic acts by Jack Dalby, fa'40. And he's been talking about religion and how it fits into this confused world of ours. Dr. Edwin McNiel Peatst, pastor of the Eueld Avenue Baptist Church in Clew�le, Missouri, has fuscd world of ours. He still says that idealism and "faith in faith" is the only hope for this world of ours The band will leave at 7:30 a.m. by bus, and will return to Lawrence after the concert at Shawnee Mission.

It was about the least comfortable situation I have ever been in. My wife thought I was going to be killed at any moment. But he wasn't. Perhaps his extreme pacifica helped him—or perhaps that was where it started. Anyway, he is very carefree about it, and very willing to point the joke in his own direction. He speaks of having to relinquish his position in a baseball game with he John Hunt, Y.M.C.A secretary, and the Rev. Joseph King of the Congregational Church. There are two daughters and a boy who is president of the freshman class at Oberlin College. Also "one wife". His brothers are respectively a professor of law and an electrical engineer. When he is tired he goes to the piano and relaxes—compasses, plays, and knows enough about music generally to enjoy it. Dr. Potteat has seen life—a lot of it—and he still thinks there's some point in living. Parsons Leads Scoring Attack That Downs 'Boy Scats' 52-42 Before Capacity Crowd; Jimmy McNatt Held to Seven Points Leaving Pralle at Top Of Big Six Scoreers Huskers Nip Sooners To Put Kansas in Lead Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 9. — (UP)—The University of Nebraska basketball team scored an upset tonight in defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 52 to 42 before a capacity crowd of more than 6,000.

Miss Pendleton did a couple of characteristic ballet dances fbr the group. She has had a great deal of training and has studied in New York under Fokine, original ballet master for the Monte Carlo company. The Huskers led after the first five minutes of play and were ahead 34 to 14 at the half. Bob Parsons, veteran Nebraska guard, was easily the outstanding performer, pacing scoring honors with six field goals and a pair of free throws.

If the Wildcats upset the Sooners, it will definitely give Kansas the inside track on the road to the conference crown. The fact that McNatt was held to 7 points dropped him to fourth place in the individual scoring race and put Fred Praille, high-scoring Kansas guard, into first place, along with Blahnik, Iowa State guard. Both Praille and Blahnik have averaged 11.5 points for 6 games. Martin, senior Oklahoma guard, was held to a single free throw to remove him from the tenth position among the highest scorers. His place was taken by Don Ebling, sophomore Jawhack forward. The Nebraska victory gives the Jayhawks a chance for an undisputed title if Kansas can take her four remaining conference games, including the game with Oklahoma on the Norman court. The victory moves Nebraska out of a tie with Missouri into undisputed possession of third place with 3 games and 3 lost for a percentage of .500 Three more Big Six games are scheduled for this week. Oklahoma moves on down to Manhattan tonight to face Kansas State, Saturday. Michigan faces Wisconsin at Manhattan and Nebraska takes on Missouri at Columbia. Arctic Scientists Near Greenland Moscow, Feb. 9. — (UP) — Radio communication was re-established tonight with the Soviet Union's four Arctic scientists, who reported that they had ridden through a lashing storm aboard their ice floe and were within sight of the east coast of Greenland. The message, the first received from Dr. Ivan Papanin and his companions in 48 hours, was picked up by the Norwegian radio station on the island of Tosno and relayed to a route administration n Moscow. The Greenland coast last reported about 50 miles away from them, was now clearly visible, they said.
