UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XXXIV The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas Russians Adrift on Floe Snow Isolates Fliers On Ice Cake; Say They Are 'Safe and Secure' Moscow, May 25 — (UP) - Thirteen Russian explorers, isolated on an ice flue near the north pole by a snow storm, radioscat today that they were drifting away from the pole at the rate of one-half mile an hour. Fierce winds whipped up the snow on the ice floe, further lowering the visibility. The radiocast said that the sun which shines for six months at a time at the pole, was blotted out entirely by the snow. The foe, which was reported to be three inches thick, was described as "secure and safe," although it had drifted several miles since the party landed on at a point 12% miles behind it after飞着 over the last pledge. It was impossible for three supply planes, poised 560 miles at Rudolph camp, to start for the pola island. Prof. Otto J. Schmidt, bewischer leader of the expedition, revealed for the first time the exact number c men in the party. "An unusual picture is presented by the 13 members together on the ieo fole under an open sky listening to a "Moonrise" from our environment," his radio message said. "In spite of the snow storm none is feeling cold. We continued our work here." He said the party landed beyond the pole, but toward evening reached 57 degrees west longitude and 89.41 degrees latitude. Yesterday the ice floe had drifted to 58 west longitude and 89.7 latitude. "Due to the absence of the sun, we are unable to make further calculations," he said. "The weather con- tinue prevent other planes from landing." NUMBER 161 The planes, manned by 28 men waited for a let-up in the weather to take off with their eight tons of food and equipment. LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY.

Opera Discussed And Explained by Scott Speaking under the auspices of the St. Louis Municipal Opera, Mrs. Scott devoted the greater portion of her talk to the activities of that organization, particularly its plans for the coming summer season. Such productions as Robert Stol's "Wild Violets" which will have its American premiere with the St. Louis Opera Company are "Bartered Bride," and the content porary smash hit "The Great Waltz" were given special commendation. "The opera and the drama should be attended with the aim of participation rather than mere observation" was the contention of Mrs. Samuel Scott in her lecture on "Opera and the Audience" in the Administration auditorium Wednesday. "A good audience plays an important role in the degree of success any production," she explained. Enjoy Our Mammoth Cooling System — Now in Operation!
