Sage--
Some K. U. student evidently believes in carrying his motto in his hat if not in his heart. At least this would seem to be true in the case of the hat turned in to the English department. Inside the band was a neatly typed inscription, "What you are to be, you are now becoming."
Dorm Committee Choice Deferred
Selection of the committee to supervise Brynwood Place and the former Chancellor's residence, which will serve as dormitories for men students of the University next year. has been deferred until Tuesday, pending the return of questionnaires sent to 30 universities and colleges, Henry Werner, men's adviser, announced today.
Answers have been received from only six of the 30 institutions to which queries were sent. The blank, contained questions pertaining to administration of men's dormitories will be used in the selection of members of the committee to oversee the construction and maintenance of the University's two new houses.
Faculty Will Play Tomorrow Night
All faculty members, faculty wives, and husbands are invited to Faculty Play Night Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Games in deck tennis, ping pong, badminton, darts, and shuffle board will be played. Beginning at 8 o'clock, an hour will be devoted to square dancing.
'America Safe Eliot Tells Audience
By Bill Koester, c'41
That "we are safe from foreign invasion" gave an audience of 400 a degree of optimism last night as Major George Fielding Eliot spoke in Hoch auditorium on "How Safe Are We From Attack."
Pointing out that the self-sufficiency of the United States renders them virtually capable of maintaining a policy of restraint toward participation in any major war, Major Elliot stated that "no nation, not self-sufficient, can hope to wage war very long. Here the United States are most fortunate, since they lack only tin and rubber resources. At the same time, Major Elliot asserted, our Navy, "by virtue of necessity and benefit of an ideal geographical location" is canable of defending this

By Jay Simon. c'40
The Kansas and Missouri basketball teams will be doing their best to assist the weatherman in bringing March "in like a lion" when they square off at 7:30 tonight in packed Hoch auditorium. The winner will get at least a share in the Big Six championship.
A repeat order by Missouri on an earlier triumph over the Jayhawkers would send the second consecutive league athletic title to the "show me" school, but Dr. F. C. Allen's cagers have a different idea.
Miller Going Great
They likewise can cop the bunting by disposing of the Tigers tonight and Oklahoma March 9 in Norman.
Kansas is rolling along in high gear with three straight Big Six triumphs on the road and with Ralph Miller, the team's offensive ringleader, no less than torrid the Jayhawkers should be hard to handle.
Despite the fact Missouri had little difficulty ringing up a 42 to 31 victory over the Crimson and Blue in Brewer fieldhouse, there is little to choose between the teams. Little to Choose Between
Offensively, each outfit has averaged just a fraction over 40 points a game, the Tigers in nine and Kansas in eight. On the (Continued from page 4)

Varsity and Law Party Tonight
Coeds Look To Spring Shopping
Coeds will soon toss their books in a corner and go home for Easter holidays to storm the stores to get new, light things to take the place of the heavy woolens they have been bundled up in for months.
Rayon faille slacks will meet the requirements for steak fries on three points: they are good looking, they are light in weight and they do not wrinkle easily. To go with the slacks are shirts, long or short sleeved, and shorts.
Gray flannel is going to be a must for Spring and Summer. A skirt of it will be almost as essential in a girl's wardrobe as a pair of gray flannel trousers is in her brother's, if the eastern campus predictions are right. The skirt can be paired off with shirts, cashmere sweaters, or if in a dressy mood, a silk blouse. To make the outfit complete a gray flannel cardigan can be added.
A new campus coat, the covert top-coat, will make its bow. It is as sleek, with its clean-cut outline, as a man's coat. Covert tan is a shade that goes with anything. It's crisp and Spring-like. Suits of covert, with jackets that come well over the hips, also have style.
For those first Spring dates the coed should have a navy lightweight woolen suit or an ensemble in sheer; to be worn either under the faithful winter coat which may have to be used a little longer. The navy must be trimmed with white. The practical girls will favor collar and cuffs that button onto dress or jacket.
Kappa Sig Meet Starts Tonight
For the first time in five years the district conclave of the Kappa Sigma fraternity will meet here tonight and tomorrow when fifty delegates from Nebraska, Missouri Baker, Kansas State, and Washburn meet to discuss the district leadership award.
The district leadership award which will be voted upon is a four year plan designed to aid the undergraduate in two of his major problems, to obtain the greatest benefit from his undergraduate life and to assist him in securing employment for which he is fitted on graduation.
The conclave will start with a smoker tonight at the chapter house. Meetings will occupy the Saturday. The conference will close with a banquet that night at which Chancellor Deane Malott and Paul McJimsey, district grand master, will be speakers.
Sixty per cent of Columbia University's graduates continue their studies in the University's advanced schools.—Northwestern News.
BALLET
For a gay spring look try a short, wide skirt shown in the above suit. The skirt is a shower of pleats in shepherd's check. The blouse is white silk, the cardigan jacket, navy wool.
To Show Famous Movie Here Tuesday Afternoon
"Intolerance" is the title of the film to be presented in Fraser Theater Tuesday, March 5, by the Forums Board in cooperation with the Bureau of Visual Instruction. It will be shown in the afternoon at 2:30 and again at 7:30 that night.

Phi Delt's, Delta Chi's To Give Parties Tomorrow

Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
A few random shots from hither, thither, and yon batted out while nervously awaiting tonight's blue - ribbon cage classic between Missouri and Kansas:
The Jayhawker track squad isn't the only one having a run of bad luck . . . Oklahoma has two men down with the "fu", two laid up with pulled muscles, five more on the ineligibility borderline, and the coach flat on his back after an appendectomy five days ago . . . P. S.: Harold Keith, the Sooner publicity man and a former track star, is taking over the coaching duties for the time being . . . Gene Coleman, claimant of the Hill record for the six-lap potato race indoors, is among the recent track men to check out a suit from B Harriss . . . Harold Johnson, the long and lanky A. K. Psi hoopster, is still averaging 19.6 in the intramural scoring race.
A 17-game card has been lined up for the Missouri baseball team and includes games with St. Louis, Washington, and Rockhurst, besides Big Six opponents . . . The Galloping Dominoes go to Baldwin tomorrow night to play an exhibition game with the Baker frush as a curtain-raiser to the high school regional . . . Bob Menze of Iowa State, 5 feet 7 and 130 pounds, is the smallest man in the loop to play regularly this year . . . Herb Gregg, a Tiger sub, is almost as tiny. He's 5-8 and would have to have company to weight more than 145.
Orv Matthews, the Sooner speedster, is called "Dagwood," and before the season is over the boys around the Valley will probably agree that he is everbrit as fast as "Blondie's" spouse. . . Creighton, Kansas' opponent at Omaha, March 4, has won two out of five from the Jayhawkers since 1922. . . Indoor track meets toorrow night between K-State and Missouri at Columbia and Oklahoma and Nebraska at Lincoln will put the finishing touches on warm-ups before the Big Six indoor a week from tomorrow night at K.C.. Hobbs Adams, new grid maestro at K-State, will call off his men for spring drills March 11.
No. 7—FACulty members—
Four members of the University faculty will be included in a group of Lawrence masons who will go to Topeka Monday afternoon to confer a degree on C.E. Birch, former superintendent of the Lawrence public schools.
Dean R. A. Schwegler of the School of Education, Geo. O. Foster, registrar and professors W. L. Burdick and Carl A. Preyer with eight Lawrence masons will invest Birch with the degree of Knight Commander of the Court of Honor.
Last night I held a little hand,
So delicately, so sweet.
So daINTy and so sweet.
I thought my heart would surely break,
So wildly did it beat.
No other hand in all the world.
Can greater solace bring
Than that sweet hand I held last night—
Four aces and a king.

Phi Gam's Win To Cinch Title; A.T.O. Nosed Out
15v Clint Kanaga, c'42
Phi Gamma Delta grabbed at least a share of the championship of Division I by a 47 to 23 victory over Sigma Phi Epsilon. Last night's win over the Sig Ep's gave the Phi Gam's a season record of nine triumphs against one defeat.
If the Phi Delt's defeat the Delta Chi's, the Phi Gam's will gain undisputed possession of the championship. Stars of the Phi Gam's win were Healy and McSpadden.
A two-handed overhead shot by Don Pierce in the closing seconds produced a thrilling 18 to 16 win for the Beta's over Alpha Tau Omega. The two teams matched shot for shot, being tied up at the half and at the end of the third quarter. Bill Arthur, A.T.O. guard, kept his team in the game with four goals from long range.
Paced by Maier, the Dominoes I trounced ISA-4 by the one-sided margin of 42 to 15. The Dominoses moved into the lead from the start and were never challenged. Maier talled 6 field goals.
Dominoes II downed the Ohio Ichabods, 28 to 13, with Tweed leading the attack with eight points. The box score:

Two Former Champions Will Vie for 880 Crown
Two former champions, one the 1938 Big Six champion, and the other the 1939 conference titleholder, will battle it out in the 880 yard run at the Big Six indoor track meet in the Municipal Auditorium at Kansas City. March 9.
Ray Gahan, lanky Oklahoma runner, was the winner of the half-mile at the conference meet in 1938. Last year however, he ran both the 440 and the 880 and the result was he lost his half-mile crown to a crack runner from Missouri, Marshall Reeves.
All of which makes the race loom as a thriller. Reeves broke a bone in his ankle and was unable to run outdoors last spring, but now is running as well as ever. His best time this season is the 1:59.1 he ran in the dual meet with Iowa State.
Gahan finished fourth in that 880 after having run third in the 440 earlier the same evening. This year the Sooner star probably will confine his efforts to one race and that will be the half-mile.
Reeves Under Two Minutes
Possibility of two other middle distance stars competing in the 880, also adds interest to the race. John Munski of Missouri, the conference mile champion, won the half-mile also at the Big Six outdoor meet and did it in top flight time.
Munski May Run Half
The past two years Munski has run the two-mile rather than the half-mile as his second event at the indoor meets. If he chooses to enter the 880 this year, the Tiger captain will rank as the favorite.
Oklahoma has another possible entry besides Gahan in this event in Bill Lyda, their sophomore ace. Lyda, a sensation in high school, ran the half-mile in very fast time outdoors last spring. However, he also is an exceptional quarter-miler and probably will run that race if he competes in only one event.
Nebraska, likewise, has a sophomore who may finish well up in the race. He is Harold Brooks, who has run the mile in 4:22 and who raced the half mile in 1.591.
Trials Next Thursday For Local Billiard Team
Local billiard players are warming up daily in the recreation room of the Memorial Union building, getting ready for the National Inter-Collegiate billiard tournament, which will be held Monday, March 11.
The national contest, under the supervision of the National Association of Collegiate Unions, is a telegraphic affair. Every university in the country, which has a union building, picks a team of five and
this team shoots for a high score on the local tables. The scores are sent to the headquarters at the University of Florida and the winning team is determined.
Elimination Matches Thursday
The elimination matches will be conducted in the basement pool room in the Union building next Thursday night. From these aspirants will come the five to represent the school in the nation-wide con-

defense Missouri has yielded an average of 30 points a contest, while the Javahawk opponents have hit a 32 point clip.
(Continued from page one)
Doctor Allen will lead off with three seniors who will be showing their last time before Mt. Oread fans and his scoring aces, Miller and Bob Allen, juniors. The seniors are Dick Harp and Don Ebling, elected co-captains for the year just yesterday, and Bruce Voran, hustling utility man who will play opposite Harp.
This quintet will face a formidable Missouri array, including four seniors playing their last regular game of college basketball. Leading the team will be Capt. John Lobsiger, the smooth-functioning sentinel who held Miller to four points in the melee at Columbia.
Nash the Only Junior
The other three seniors are Bill Harvey and Clay Cooper, a duo of scampering forwards, and lofty Blaine Currence, 6 foot 5 inch pivot. The junior of the bunch is Martin Nash, hard working running mate of Lob-siger. These five have been getting the opening nod in nearly all the Missouri games this season.
The only loop contest the Bengals have dropped this year was of the one-point variety when an Oklahoma substitute slipped the leather through the meshes with only seconds to go when the two met on the M.U. court.
Besides fighting desperately for Doctor Allen as he tries to annex his twenty-third conference championship in 30 years, the Jayhawkers will strive to protect their home winning streak which has now reached 19 games.

Swimming Team Leaves for Ames And Loop Meet
An 11 man Jayhawker swimming team and Coach Jim Raport left at 8 o'clock this morning for Ames, Iowa, where they will compete in the Big Six tank meet tonight and tomorrow night. Every school in the league except Missouri, will be represented.
Following are the Kansas entries:
The Kansas team, without a victory this season, will be the underdog in the races. The best Jayhawker bet will be Frank Wilson in the 50-yard dash and Lloyd Koelling in the diving. Iowa State, the defending champion, Kansas State and Nebraska have strong teams.
300-yard medley relay — Marion Cooper, Gene Nelson, and either Joe Morton or Kenneth Rosehush.
50-yard dash-Frank Wilson, Art Robinson, and Rosebush.
Dives—Lloyd Koelling and Harry Han.
100-yard dash—Morton, Robinson,

Wynne Is First In Speeches
Following the fourth broadcast last night in the current series of Student Opinion programs, Mac Wynne, c'40, was announced last week's winner, with his talk on Roosevelt as a Democratic presidential candidate. Russell Baker, c'42, was given second place. He chose for his topic Cordell Hull.
Faculty-student relations make or break a University said Emmet Park b'41, as he opened last nights program on Campus Problems. "Orientation of freshman women is not what it should be," said Velma Wilson, c'40, president of W.S.G.A.
Housing was discussed by Bob McKay, b'40 and Richard MacCann, c'40, bemoaned the "misguided curriculum of haphazard American colleges." Bob Sullivan, l'42, concluded the program with his "And Another Thing."

"We are destined," he said, "to be the greatest sea power in the world during the rest of the century."
While intimating that Finland "is on its last legs," Major Eliot emphasized that the Scandinavian countries, Sweden, Norawy, and Denmark, are banding together to present formidable opposition to any designs Germany might have toward absorbing them as she took Poland and Czechoslovakia. "I might give Finland six weeks, possibly six months, to stave off Russia," he stated, "but Germany definitely will encounter difficulty should she attempt an attack on the Scandinavian countries."
That the United States might become involved was scorned by the military expert when he emphasized that "we are only indirectly concerned; our problems are domestic at present. We can't settle affairs in Europe and Asia," he said, "nor can we afford the distraction from our own problems that a foreign war brings. We need our men here to build America's future."

Critic on the Pan
To the Editor:
As a student of the University of Kansas, I am certainly gratified to know that we have such a bona fide critic of the arts on the Kansan's staff as Mr. Christopher Vandeveer. I would like to compliment him on his casual observation that the pianists of the San Francisco Ballet were good but a bit on the "sloppy" side. I think that that is the cutest trick, being good but sloppy at the same time; how is it done?
My, my, I was so pleased with the delicate humor that you injected into the closing paragraphs of your review. That "Sundown in Podunk" was a splendid bit of wit. I'll bet you're almost a member of the Main Street bourgeois—of Podunk I mean. You do understand everything so well.
Mr. Vandeveer seemed a little peeved that the Ballet saw fit to give us a little more entertainment and "managed to make it (the performance) last far past its allotted time". Who allots the time for a performance? Custom? You'd hate Gone with the Wind. I'm sorry you had to stay to write so unimportant a thing as your review when you were obviously bored.
You may have guessed, Mr. Vandeveer, that your slapstick remarks about a performance that delighted me are resented. But then you know so much more about it than I, a poor Kansas yokel, so I should say nothing.

I want to know why the Lawrence police force closes the bowling alleys at twelve o'clock to protect morals, but doesn't give a hoot if you sit in beer joints till four. In other words why can't you have nice clean fun? Or don't the bowling alley proprietors have the proper connections? Can I help it if I would rather knock pins down than guzzle?

Lesson in Louisiana
The defeat and expulsion of the corrupt Louisiana political machine bequeathed by the late 'Kingfish' Huey Long to his followers, shows what can be accomplished by the processes of democracy, once they are put into action.
In this respect the Louisiana election results are vastly more important to the country at large than the elimination of a single political plague spot, important though that is.
It is almost incredible that such a dictatorship could have been established in America. The Long regime set up a complete control over state and municipal political functions. The legislature abdicated. Police powers and judicial process were in the hands of the ring. To oppose the ruling force was dangerous to life and limb as well as to personal fortune.
It is almost as incredible that such a dictatorship once established could be overturned. Yet it has been smashed. The Louisiana election was the finishing touch to the reform that has been going on.
If the democratic process can do this in Louisiana where, to be frank, the normal process of democracy at its best has been nothing to brag about, the whole country has a healthy example of what can be done.
GERALD BANKER.
Why a Democrat Club?
To the Editor:
I'm a new student here this semester and I've just got one thing to say: What this campus needs is less
organization. They have an organization for everything. For instance the other day I read that they have even a Young Democrat club on this hill.
Now, sir, I ask you, what does this College need with a Democrat Club? In the first place there hasn't been a democrat around here since the Civil War and in the second place he wouldn't be allowed to enter the University even if he did come around. And even if one or two of them have slipped in, they probably aren't old enough to vote anyway. So why should they go to the trouble to organize? It's about as useless as a bunch of capons eyeing an attractive young pullet. They can't do anything about it either.

Rogers Is Father of Hill Debate
Great Actor Never Knew
By Mary Frances McAnaw, c'43
Will Rogers, internationally known humorist, writer, and actor, was the father of the present forensics program at the University of Kansas and he never knew it.
Way back in the days when debate was debate and Kansas didn't have any, the University advertised "If You Can Debate, Kansas Needs You." They even imported a professor of speech from Washburn, E. C. Buehler, to help give the University a forensics program that was extra-curricular. The chief difficulty soon became one of finance, not of finding interested students to participate.
Hoch auditorium had just been completed and the Forenses Council devised the scheme of booking Will Rogers to give the first lecture in the auditorium. Through a typographical error, the making of $2,500 into $1,000, which turned out to be a valid contract, Will Rogers agreed to appear here for the $1,000, in 1927, before the days of the radio and the movie.
Advertisement of such a program drew enthusiastic response from the whole community. The lecture course offered to buy the rights to the lecture for $800 and the Forensic Council sold.
But Rogers canceled his engagement. However he agreed to appear the next year for the same price. Like the "little man who wasn't there" he was obliged to cancel his engagement again. To even things up he sent a personal check for $1,000 payable to the lecture course.
The committee in charge of the lecture course was loathe to turn over $800 to the Forensics Council as was originally agreed. Former Chancellor Stone convinced them that it was a debt and the Council received its $800.
And they lived happily ever after because the forensics department, through the generosity of Will Rogers, started on a present program.
ROCK CHALK TALK
By HARRY HILL
Foot in mouth department.
Foot in mouth department.
Jean Robertson, named yesterday by your Rock Chalker as a potential candidate for W.S.G.A. president, is just that and no more. As treasurer of the women's council, she holds a two year position which she will continue to fill next year.
There has been a shift in allegiance which will put variety into the women's election this spring. Ccrbin hall, mainstay precinct of the Pi Phi-Theta et all combine last year, has its own candidate, O'Thene Huff, who probably will be supported by the Chi Omega-Alpha Chi front. And this means that Betty Kimball of Miller hall will be her opponent, the choice of the Pi Phi-Theta coalition. Don't be surprised, therefore, if the Pi Phi's and Theta's, who have elected the last two W.S.G.A. presidents, lose the race this year because of Corbin hall's probable new alliance with her opposition.
★
We started out today to fill Rock Chalk's alloted space by interviewing students on the Missouri-Kansas basketball game tonight. After getting the opinions of 2,413 persons, we discovered that all the
answers were the same. It appears that everybody thinks Kansas will win. There is only one doubtful note. That's the prediction of our favorite sports writer, Cecil (Queenie) King. She picks Kansas. She also took the Kappa's over the Pi Phi's the other night. Draw your own conclusions.
★
It would be a lot easier to write women's politics if the gals would adopt some party names. Off hand, we'd suggest the "Powder Puffs" and the "Permanent Waves."
Blame Bill Koester for this temperature drop. In the current Jayhawker, Koester advises students not to throw away their ski suits. Of course, he wrote that a month ago. But the Jayhawker came out yesterday and the sun didn't today.
★
Still, maybe the mercury fell upon the arrival of the Missouri basketball team, which doubtlessly is cool and confident.

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
It is understood that Judge Landis has been investigating the rumors that the Camp Fire Girls are part of the Pi Phi farm system.
The truth of the matter is that the Pi Phi's are part of a huge farm system controlled by the D.A.R.
Landis should know that no minor league club can afford a test team such as the Pi Phi's are accused of maintaining.
We have it straight from the horse that Bobby Guy is Betty West's abnormal psychology lab project for this semester. West is maintaining a straight "A" average in laboratory.
Since the Shin is to be the "March of Slime" we offer the following name for Harry Hill's editorial page filler: "The Lies and Leers of the World."

"I'm getting a car for graduation. If you weren't going to be married in June we could take a long trip this summer."
Bantleon to Boddington: "Oh, I don't want to rush into that. July or August or September will be soon enough."

Start Work On Engine Exposition
Work has already begun by students in the School of Engineering and Architecture on the construction of models for the exhibits in the two day engineering exposition which will be staged April 19 and 20.
The purpose of this open house, according to G.M. Beal, member of the faculty in charge of exposition plans, is to acquaint the public with the general progress of engineering and to show the type of work offered at the University. Presentations of different operations will be made by the scaled construction of models and by actual tests being made in the laboratories.
The various committees in charge of the projects done in the departments were appointed last week. The engineering council and faculty members of the student relations committee will have a joint meeting next week to complete final plans for the exhibits.
Home Demonstration Group Visits Museum
Members of the Home Demonstration clubs in Shawnee County made a tour of the Spooner-Thayer Museum today. Miss Moodie, curate of the museum, conducted the women, pointing out and explaining the different art objects.
The trip was under the management of the Department of Agriculture of Kansas State College with the cooperation of the United State Department of Agriculture and the Shaw- State College further stated that the County Farm Bureau.
Mrs. Mary D. Zeigler, home demonstration agent in charge of the tour, said the group had been divided into two groups of about fifty each, one going through in the morning and the other in the afternoon. This is the annual trip planned to broaden these women's knowledge of art and home decoration and to acquaint them with some of the institutions of the state.
Miss Mae Farris, connected with the Home Furnishings department of the Extension division at the Kansas
State College, further stated that the trip last year was to the Nelson Art Gallery, in Kansas City, and had proved so interesting that they wanted to come to Spooner-Thayer museum this year. Next year they plan to visit the Haskell Institute.

Board Honors Dr. Naismith John Carlson
Two resolutions, one honoring the late Dr. James Naismith, professor emeritus of physical education, and the other John E. Carlson prominent University of Kansas alumnus, were passed Friday night at a meeting of the University Athletic board.
The committee report on resolutions in honor of Dr. James Naismith follows in part:
"The name of James Naismith is one which will have a permanent place in the hall of fame of athletes. His invention of basketball is an achievement which has made him known throughout the world and which has brought untold satisfaction and benefit to youth in every land. He had the unusual experience of seeing a game, created by the necessities of his immediate task, grow so rapidly in public interest that within the comparatively short space of a few decades it had become the acknowledged leader among all sports with regard to the number of participants and the number of followers.
"We are proud of the fact that the University of Kansas has been privileged to share so generously in the life of James Naismith. With the passage of time just what he has meant to us will become increasingly evident.
"From 1901 to 1937, he was a valued member of this board. A period of service of such length probably is unequalled in the annals of athletic board history throughout the nation.
"It is the hope of this board that in the near future a suitable memorial, bearing his name and dedi-

Correction
In the announcement of candidates for W.S.G.A. positions Friday, the Kansas inadvertently omitted the names of Margaret Whitehead, c'42, and Mary Beth Dodge, fa'42, who seek the point system management.
More than 200 students took the examination, which was given Saturday, Feb. 24.
Test Results Due In Two Weeks
Results of the English Proficiency Examinations and the names of those who have passed the test will be available for publication in about two weeks, according to John B. Virtue, assistant professor in the English department.
The apparent delay was explained by Virtue by the fact that the papers were graded so carefully, each one being read several times.
Junior Prom Tickets Available to Outsiders
Outsiders who may have been on edge as to whether they would be able to get tickets to the Junior Prom have reason to take several easy breaths since it was revealed yesterday that after the deadline for exclusive student sales there still remained 20 tickets to be sold.
Only students in the University were permitted to buy tickets until yesterday morning when admissions to the Dorseyized Prom were thrown open to the general public. At that time 450 pasteboards had been sold.
Dorssey fans in and around Lawrence were keeping a close watch over the sales, it was reported. One Lawrence man kept ticket offices

First Semester Graduates Named By Crawford
Dr. James Naismith, who was cited for a possible future memorial Friday night by the University Athletic board.
The names of 16 students representing the seven departments of the School of Engineering and Architecture who were graduated at the end of the first semester were announced today by Dean Ivan C. Crawford.
Dean Crawford stated that many of the men have received final placements. The students and the departments from which they were graduated are: Charles Ash, Joy Scammon, and Richard Tippin, department of architecture; Alfred Dean and Herbert Herrmann, department of architectural engineering; John Duer, Weaver McCaslin, Howard Sailors, and Lyle Samples, department of chemical engineering; Donald Flander, department of civil engineering; Emerson Brooks, department of electrical engineering; Gene Cormany, Ed Fuchs, Clarence McCabe, Charles Razak, department of mechanical engineering; Frank Alexander, mining engineering dept.
Fred Littotty, 142, student dance manager, remained confident that the limited supply of admissions to the Prom would be snapped up by outsiders shortly after they had access to them. Bell's Music store, handling the ducats downtown, showed an increase in orders yesterday over any day during the last week.
Dorsey's band, with the vocal aid of Helen O'Connell, and Bob Eberly will be playing its first dance on the campus although it has filled several engagements in this section of the country. It has been rumored that Dorsey may try to sneak in a few saxophone solos if the crowd coaxes him into it.

Grads Take Top Prizes In Contest
Sponsors of the "model design" contest at the Kansas City Better Homes show today were writing checks amounting to $500 to three University alumni who carried off three of the four top honors at the show this week.
The $200 first prize went to Frank Slezak, e'35. The model winning the second $100 prize was designed by Margaret Wheeler, e'37, daughter of J. J. Wheeler, associate professor of mathematics. Mayll Linscott, e'25, and L. G. Fiell, e'27, designed a model which won the fourth prize. Two other alumni, Raymond Friedson, e'37, and Samuel Bihr, e'27, received honorable mention to complete the prize winners from the School of Engineering and Architecture. Two of the three judges of the contest, who were selected from Kansas City architects, were graduated from the University School of Engineering and Architecture: Joseph W. Radotinsky, e'24, and Edward W. Tanner, e'16.
Professor Joseph M. Kellogg, head of the department of architecture, attended the show last week and said today that one of the features of the many exhibits is a collection of house designs and drawings which were made by Margaret Wheeler.

Miss Durand had her first role as the secretary in "Night of January 16th"—not a speaking part.
Nearly on a par in importance with Linda is her sister, Julia, the part being played by Martha Alice Horner, c'42. The remainder of the Seton family, in whose home the acti(), takes place, is the brother Ned, played by Larry David, fa'40, and the father characterized by Marvin Moon, c'40. This incidentally, is the eighth consecutive play in which Moon has been cast.

$3,200 in Bequests Left to University
Bequests amounting to more than $3,200 were made to the University by two prominent alumnae who died last fall, according to Prof. Olin Templin, secretary of the Endowment association.
Florence Finch Kelly, the dean of American newspaper women and an alumna of the University, class of 1881, left $2.500 which had been collected from an insurance fund that she had with the New York Times.
Another alumna, Clara Gillham,
who was graduated in 1884, left in
her will three lots of land in Atascadero,
Calif., and $700 for a fund
to provide books for the browsing

This Is No Crock--- Pottery Company Buys Designs From Students
That designers of the future needn't wait until they are graduated to learn to adapt their work to the needs of the industry is being demonstrated daily as students of the department of design create patterns for china made by the Onondaga Pottery company of Syracuse, New York.
Shortly after the Christmas holidays, the Onondaga Potters, who produce a highly vitrified type of table ware for both home and institutional use, wrote Miss Rosemary Ketcham, professor of design, and requested her to submit border designs for china which had been conceived and carried out by her students.
More than 100 border designs were submitted by the students of
the department, and from this num- (Continued on page five)

Three Parties Feature Weekend
Emphasis on the Heel Interest in Shoes Swings To Old 'Back' Decoration
Footnotes from France warn the American woman that the swing of interest is towards "back" decoration in shoes. The reason for heels being thrust to the fore is that manufacturers have perfected open-at-the-back styles that fit snugly
Dainty cut-out heel and side sections will slim the most elephantine foot. Leather bows spring from the backs of ankles and tie shoes have a knowing look in their smart eye-lets.
Wedges and spikes, the high and low in petal extremities, are equally vogue-ish on this side of the Atlantic although most Parisiennes refused to confront the blackout on high heels. Out of this refusal has come the feminized version of a man's patent leather dancing pump. It is made in heavy, dull, black, satin with the conventional black grosgrain bow. A dentellated appliqué supplies the back interest.
Streamlined wedge soles make this type of shoe graceful, rather than orthopedic, in appearance.
Square Dance For Faculty
Members of the University faculty attended a square dance last night in Robinson gymnasium. Miss Betty Thorn, c'43, furnished the piano accompaniment, and Miss Jane Byrn, assistant instructor of physical education, called the numbers.
This is the first time the faculty has ever tried square dancing as an evening's entertainment.
Many of the sport models of this type are corset-laced up the back with more decoration on the heels than toes.
In searching for new shoe fabrics, the manufacturers turned to the zoo, where they took alligator, lizard, crocodile, and watersnake skins to fashion spring bootery. Hand-bag designers took a tip from them and made bags to match.
Patent leather is competing for top honors as complete shoes and in combinations with dull materials such as faille and garadine.
For wear with suits, pumps have been revised with bows, bits of contrasting trim, and perforations. Pumps, masquerading as spats, feature the freedom of elasticized front sections or side gores so that they'll hug the foot snugly. Definitely the new note in footwear is comfort.

Checks are in the headlines again. This timely suit features checks in turquoise, yellow and white with an unlined wrap-around jacket. The skirt has pressed side pleats while the cape is hunting-pink whip cord with wide, square shoulders.
Sigma Kappa Founded Here In April,1913
From a local sorority, Delta Psi, Xi chapter of Sigma Kappa was founded at the University in April, 1913. The first home of Xi, the home of Delta Psi, was 1247 Ohio street. Three years after the institution of Sigma Kappa, Xi moved to 1245 Oread avenue. As this house soon became too crowded, a new house was built in 1923 on the site of old Fort Thatcher, which is at 1624 Edgehill road. This is the house the chapter is now occupying.

Drenching Rain Fails To Stop Hill Socialites
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
Rain failed to curb the social activities this week end although it may have ruined some of the evening dresses that were worn to the Phi Delta Theta Mess, the formal dance that was held Saturday night in the Memorial Student Union building. An extra attraction for the Phi Delt's was the informal dance held in the afternoon at their chapter house. The chapter house of the Delta Chi fraternity resembled the comic section of a Sunday news paper last night in honor of their costumed pulp party.

Monday Night Contest With Creighton U. Next Test For Champion Jayhawk Cagers
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
Russell "Rub" Thomson, the dead-eye forward of the '28, '29, and '30 Jayhawker basketball teams, has the distinction of being the only Kansas cager since 1922 who has played three years on Mt. Oread without receiving a gold basketball, emblematic of the conference championship.
The next three seasons were lean ones for Kansas. In "Rub's" senior year Kansas had a chance to win the pennant by downing Missouri in the final game of the year, but the Bengals won, 30 to 23. Thomson was kept out of that game by an arm infector and was deprived of personally getting one last shot at a gold ball.
Thomson entered school in 1926 and played freshman basketball. He dropped out the next year and by so doing failed to earn his watch charm. The Jayhawkers won that year.
In 1922 the Jayhawkers tied M.U. for the old Missouri Valley league bunting and since then they have been out of the money only five times, three of them coming in a row when "Rub" was doing his stuff. The other years Kansas was nudged off the top rung were 1935 and 1939.
Dr. F. C. Allen said yesterday that he plans to suggest that the Athletic Board vote an honorary trophy to Thomson.
Bob Allen was picked by a Missouri coed for her all star glamour team for the Big Six . . . At Stillwater the scribes seemed to think Bruce Voran and Johnny Kline were the handsomest of the lot . . . . Burleigh Grimes, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers just two years ago, has been signed to pilot the Trenton, Mo. Ban Johnson club this season. Boy, those Dodgers really do things to you. . . Note to sports writers: Mr Oread has seen too many athletic battles which were "the biggest thing since Quinnill's Raid." . . . Bob Ginn, freshman distance ace at Nebraska, wheeled the half mile in 1:59-6, the mile in 4:31.1, and the two mile in 10:01.2 in a mail order meet with Ohio State.
Kansas Leads After Victory Over Missouri
By Jay Simon, c'40
Assured of at least a tie for their twenty-first league basketball championship after the thrilling 42 to 40 victory over Missouri Friday night, the Jayhawkers hop from Douglas County, Kansas, to Douglas County, Nebraska for a nonconference engagement with Creighton tomorrow night in Omaha.
With scarcely time to catch their breath after the close call with the Bengals, Dr. F. C. Allen and his cagers continue their busy schedule which will have seen them play eight games in 25 days when the regular season closes next Friday night with the game at Norman, Okla. Due for Let-Down
The Kansans, tired and weary from the tough uphill grind they had to undergo to bring the Big Six title back to Mt. Oread, may be in for a big let-down against the Missouri Valley outfit tomorrow night.
In 11 days Kansas defeated Kansas State, Nebraska, and Iowa State on the road and the formerly league-leading Missouri Tigers at home. Needing them all to hand Doctor Allen his twenty-third championship in 30 years coaching, the Jayhawkers performed like the champions they are, reaching their peak in the home finale against the invading neighbors to the East.
Harp and Ebling Sparkle
Co-captains Dick Harp and Don Ebling, writing finis on three brilliant campaigns in Hoch auditorium, played the games of their young lives as they led their mates to victory. Ralph Miller and Howard Engleman outscored the captains with 10 points each, but it was the ball-dogging and tight guarding turned in by these stellar seniors that proved Kansas' margin of safety.

Dick Schnacke, Cyclone high jumper, leaped 6 feet $5 \frac{1}{2}$ inches to win his event at the Kansas Relays. He was second to Bob Stoland of Kansas at the indoor meet last year and tied with Stoland for first at the outdoor meet.
Although Iowa State is not expected to be much of a threat in the Big Six indoor track meet in Municipal auditorium at Kansas City, March 9, Coach George Bretnall is figuring on five points in the high jump as a sure thing.

Since Stoland is not eligible this year, Schnacke figures to have things his own way over a field of high jumpers which is not up to the usual Big Six standard.

Manhattan, Kan., March 2—Hobbs Adams, a former grid captain and one of the greatest ends ever to play for the University of Southern California, will assume his new duties as head football coach at Kansas State college as spring practice gets under way March 11.
Officials: Parke Carroll, (Kansas City) and Moe Pressly (Omaha).
Hobbs Adams Continues Dynasty Of Jones Trained' Men at K-State
The genial 37-year-old Californian made a big hit with Manhattanites during his brief stay here recently. Twice All-Conference
for the Trojans three years and was all-for-the conference end in 1924 and 1925. He played in 1923 and 1924 under Coach Elmer Henderson and in 1925 was captain of the team during Howard Jones' first season as head football coach at that school. Adams also captained the U.S.C. baseball team his senior year.
After an outstanding scholastic and athletic record at San Diego, Calif. High School, Adams enrolled at U.S. C. in 1922. He played regular end
Adams made remarkable coaching records at Monrovia and San Diego high schools before joining the U.S. C. coaching staff in February, 1935. He was head freshman coach in 1935 and 1936. Starting with the 1937 season he has been end coach, assisted
with coaching the backs, and did much of the scouting. Although a specialist with the varsity, Adams has worked a great deal with all linesmen because of his knowledge of all types of blocking and line finesse. Trojan play picked up considerably when his ideas of smashing game were taken up.

Schnacke hails from Topeka, Kan., and jumped for Bretnall when the latter was track coach at Baker University. Bretnall went to Iowa State and Schnacke followed his coach there. Inasmuch as he competed a year at Baker, this is Schnacke's final season of competition.
If Schnacke should have a bad night at the conference meet and not be up to his usual form, he might be upset by a new jumper for Coach Ward Haylett of Kansas State. He is Gene Solt, who transferred to Kansas State after a year of competition at Westminster College.
Solt a Threat
Solt leaped 6 feet 2 inches while passing his year of residence as a member of the freshman team. He has not attained that height as yet this winter, but may at the indoor meet.
Missouri has three candidates for points in the high jump, Hilton, Miller, and Meyers. Hilton was fourth in this event at the indoor meet last year and should do as well or better this time. The three Tigers tied for first in the Kansas-Missouri dual meet.
Kansas State has a second jumper who may pick up some points in Art Day, a junior. Day tied for first with Soil in the Kansas State-Nebraska dual meet.
Getto Calls Out Baseball Men
A call for all baseball candidates to report at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon at the west dressing rooms of Memorial Stadium was issued last night by Mike Getto, newly appointed Kansas baseball coach.
Getto said he hoped to start practice sessions soon. He played baseball in the Pittsburgh, Pa., industrial league while a student at Pitt. His work with the diamond team will force him to miss spring football practice for the first time since his appointment to the Jayhawker staff in 1929.

Bucs Upset A.K. Psi Five; Ghosts Lose
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Humiliating a fine Alpha Kappa Psi team, the Buccaneers swept aside their biggest obstacle to the championship of Division III by the surprising score of 29 to 11.
With Pojenzy leading the way, Pi Kappa Alpha finished the season downing Sigma Nu, 26 to 16, for their sixth win in ten starts. Dunakin Club triumphed over the Jayhawk Co-op, 30 to 18. Delta Tau Delta won by the forfeit route from the Triangles.
Biggest reason for the splendid game the Buccaneers turned in, was Hubert Ulrich. Ulrich held "Lamp-lighter" Johnson, intramural high score, to one goal in the first half, and tallied 11 poirfs in the last half after Johnson had left the game with an injury. Vandaveer's long shots and Bourne's rebound work for the Buccaneers were other outstanding features of the contest.
In Division IV Sig Ep "B" won from Delta Tau Delta "B" 22 to 18, Sigma Chi "B" was victorious over Acacia "B" 33 to 25, and Phi Gam "B" defeated the A.T.O. "B" 39 to 13. The box score:
A fighting Comet team, which was never headed, produced the most unexpected victory of the year, handing the Galloping Ghosts a 32 to 30 defeat, their first for the season and their second in three years.

'Dutch' Uhrlaub is Tennis Coach
The line-up of University athletic coaches was complete today with the announcement that Ernst "Dutch" Uhrlaub had been appointed tennis coach.
Urhlaub starred on Kansas baseball and basketball teams just before and after the World War. He is enrolled in the University as a graduate student in physical education.
Gwinn Henry, who made the selection, said it still had to be approved by the Athletic Board. All Coaches Re-Hired
All other positions were filled Friday night by the Athletic board at a meeting which saw every member of the staff who held a one-year contract re-hired.
Wake Getto was named baseball coach and re-appointed to tutor the freshman football team. Other renewed contracts: H. W. Hargiss, track; Dr. F. C. Allen, basketball; and Harry Lansing, football staff.
Gwinn Henry, director of athletics and head football coach, and Vic Hurt, assistant football coach, have
long-term agreements with the University.
Shannon New Golf Coach
Jayhawk golfers this spring will be instructed by William H. Shannon, associate professor of economics, who will serve without salary. He succeeds Glenn Oatman, who piloted the Kansas linksmen last year to the Big Six championship—only conference title won by a Mt. Oread entry.
Getto's appointment as baseball coach fills a vacancy caused when Ralph Conger went to Wentworth Military Academy last spring.
With the approval by the board of the Athletic association budget, financial problems concerning the spring sport program were believed solved, although the comment of Dr. W. W. Davis, chairman of the board, indicated only a "fair" status.
Salary re-adjustments were made with some coaches, Doctor Davis said. No amounts were announced.
All appointments are subject to approval by the state Board of Regents.
Gridmen Start Spring Drills
Spring practice for the Jayhawk football team got under way Friday afternoon with 45 men responding. Equipment has been checked out by 64 players, 42 of them from last in freshmen squad, in what members of the coaching staff said was the largest spring turnout in many years.
A light workout was on the program Friday and the coaches planned to continue daily sessions at 4 p.m. when weather permits.
Hobbs Adams—
(Continued from page four) ularity with players and his ability to use proper psychology on them before games, he usually was put in charge of players the night before games.
Adams is the third successive Howard Jones trained man to serve on the Kansas State college coaching staff. Wes Fry, resigned head coach who signed as assistant to Lynn Waldorf at Northwestern, played under Jones at the University of Iowa. Stan Williamson, line coach under Fry, was center on Jones' U.S.C. team of 1931. Adams recently signed as line coach at Oklahoma university.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Kansas Leads—
(Continued from page four) Elbing tallied nine times and Harp eight, and it was their free throws that accounted for notches 41 and 42.
Bob Allen, who went down with a sprained ankle during the hectic milling midway in the last half, came back in the waning minutes to direct the stall that preserved the one point lead for more than four minutes. Harp made it two with his free throw after the game was over. Three to two for KU.
Three to Two for K.U.
Creighton has had only a so-so season, winning eight and losing 10, but they may fool the Jayhawkers if they have too much of a let-down. In five previous games the Bluejays have won two. The record between the schools:
1923—Kansas 29, Creighton 7.
1927—Kansas 31, Creighton 29.
1929—Creighton 44, Kansas 27.
1930—Creighton 44, Kansas 20.
1931—Kansas 38, Creighton 32.
Leading the Omaha team will be Asa Kelley, big 6 foot 4 inch center and high score for the season. The Bluejays have dropped two games to Big Six teams already this year. Iowa State downed them 35 to 32 and Kansas State did the job 50 to 44.
The 10-man Kansas squad will leave for Omaha on the Santa Fe at 9:27 tonight. Tomorrow night they will leave Omaha at 11:55 and be back in Lawrence at 8:56 Tuesday morning.

His Job to Chart Subsurface Water
Working in the engineering laboratory there is a man who has one of the most unusual assignments in the University. He is Stanley Lohman of the U.S. Geological Survey whose job it is to keep track of the "underground water" in Kansas.
"Underground water" is the rain and snow water that soaks into the subsoil and supplies wells and springs. Since its origin is surface moisture the level of saturation rises and falls in accordance with the rainfall.
As a result of the long drought, a three-way co-operation of the federal and state geological surveys, together with the State Board of Health was formed to collect and to give out accurate information on the supply of sub-surface water within the state.
To obtain a general picture of the groundwater system the geological structures of a certain area are carefully studied. Farmers are questioned about the depth and strength of their wells. In thinly settled sections small test wells are drilled and studied.
The survey is less than two years old. At the present time it has completed work in 11 counties, most of which are in the extreme southwest corner of the state.
This Is No Crock—
(Continued from page one) ber 12 were purchased. Designers who sold their patterns were: Rene Kiskadden, fa'42; Michael Andrews,

Photostatic copies of the originals purchased by the company are on display in the department of design on the third floor west of Frank Strong hall. Especially appropriate is the design for children's ware created by Beulah Grunwald. Miss Grunwald, whose home is in St. Joseph, Mo., chose as her theme the story of "Winken, Blinken, and Nod" by Eugene Field, who was also a native of St. Joseph.
At present, the students are working on the "all-over" or "full" design which covers the entire plate. Samples of this type for institutional ware have also been requested by the Onondaga Potters. When these patterns are completed, the students will begin work on similar designs for home dinner ware.
And, as Miss Ketcham puts it, the beauty of it all is that, while the work is directly linked with the demands of business, nothing is taken away from the usual creative activities of the students in the department of design.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
They Don't Sleep in Class Now
Hill students who are seared to death of grades, and have trouble in getting their daily assignments, should enroll in a small town high school, North Bend, in the Cascade Mountains, up in Washington state.
Demonstrated there is a solution for the present grading system, which educators admit is in somewhat of a state of turmoil, and which students agree causes them no end of worry and mental anguish.
No need for apple polishing, no gnashing of teeth over the results of straight-line and curve grading methods are in this high school. Instead, students work on their own initiative, do as they please. Results are almost astonishing but strictly in accord with modern progressive educational thought.
In this mountain school, students are left to their own devices two days of the week, Monday and Wednesday, when no class bells ring. For the teachers there are trying to meet the capacities of each boy and girl as an individual.
Thursday is "Class Achievement Day,"when boys and girls bring in the results of work done.
These children can spend two hours or fifteen minutes on their algebra—whichever it takes them to get it. They can talk things over with a teacher and get her advice or help on a weak spot. Under the old Mount Oread system, classes were kept together chapter by chapter in the textbook, but in North Bend, each pupil sets his own pace.
No examinations are given. Instead, pupils write theses on this one big question, "How am I doing?" They tell what they have learned during the semester, giving one or two specific illustrations, explaining how this knowledge fits into their living.
Colleges were hesitant about admitting North Bend graduates a few years ago in the absence of no scholastic records, so Superintendent Lynn C. Wright wrote a note something like this. "Grades are not given at this school. John Jones would have had grades around 95. He has earned an equivalent of 38 credits." North Bend high school is on the accredited list today and it is reported that the graduates do good work in college.
A vermont woman, at 73, is learning to ski. Agents who have been trying to recruit volunteers for Finland at Friends University, Wichita, please note.
Theirs is a system of "reaching" children, not "teaching" them. It seems better to have them turn in quantities of work that they produce on their own initiative and that they have actually taken an interest in preparing, rather than for students to sit half asleep in classes, abhore students to sit half asleep in classes, abhor ex-reading assignment done by a certain date.
★ ★ ★
If students had this sort of high school education, and would keep right on with it in college, there would be more genuine learning and a greater appreciation of education. The entire educational system of the country would be geared toward development of individual initiative, and students, with more interest in work that interests them, would place less stress on less important swing and jellying.
Diplomatic circles in Europe are probably watching the comic strips with more than usual interest, now that Superman has started on a trans-Atlantic swim. Will he help Finland?

Upon leaving India, Chancellor Emeritus Lindley commented;
"After 19 days, I leave India with a sort of mental vertigo insofar as the subcontinent in concerned. It is so vast and varied and its problems so intricate that a pessimist would have some ground for declaring the problems insoluble. But forces are at work which give a basis for optimism."
In short, things are in a mess.
Cecil (as in vessel) King, our favorite sports writer, says "The

'Keep U.S. Out of War Say American Collegians
★
★
Student thought on the college campus, like public opinion elsewhere over the nation, is now turning towards the November elections and the issues that are likely to be involved. The collegians of the country agree with the American voter that the most important problem of the day is how to keep the United States out of war. Unemployment comes next.
To his psychology class, assistant instructor Leo Hellmer commented: "Spring is the time when a young man's fancy lightly turns to what the girl has been thinking about all winter."
Interviewers for the Student Opinion surveys, of which the DAILY TAR HEEL is a member, asked students over the nation "What do you believe is the most important problem facing the United States today?" From every section, New England to the deep South, Middle Atlantic to the Far West, the answer of the greatest number was the same: how to stay out of war. Many other problems were mentioned, as follows:
1. Keeping the U.S. out of war
... 43%
2. Solving unemployment ... 17%
3. Balancing the budget ... 7%
4. Solving labor problems ... 3%
5. Recovery of business ... 3%
6. Threats to Democracy ... 2%
8. Solving youth problems ... 1%
9. The 1940 elections ... 1%
10. Relief ... 1%
11. Other ... 91%
In this instance, as has been the case in many surveys, college people show practically the same sentiment that other studies of the general electorate have pointed out. The question of war and finding employment for the jobless are paramount in the minds of most Americans, young and old. Business recovery, however, seems to be more important to the average voter, who placed that third in the latest sampling of opinion, while the collegians gave third place to the budget.
It is significant that the college student has consistently demonstrated parallel feelings regarding Europe's troubles, for the surveys, using a scientific cross section that represents the total U. S. enrollment, has found:
1. In October most students said we should not send troops to help the allies, even if they were in danger of losing to Germany.
2. At the same time, 58 per cent opposed change of the neutrality law, mainly because they believed to do so might involve us.
3. In December 68 per cent believed we could stay out of the war.

"John E. Carlson, one of the most widely known and distinguished graduates of the University of Kansas, died at his home in Kansas City, Kas., on Saturday, Dec. 2, 1939."
"During his undergraduate day at the University, John Carlson gave freely of his talents as an athlete . . . As a competitor he displayed a remarkable spirit of determination and fairness. He won the devotion of his fellow students and teammates, and the respect and admiration of his opponents.
"It is with deep sorrow and feeling of personal loss that the members of the Athletic board learn of
his death. His absence will be greatly felt."
Twelve volumes of fiction which are to become the permanent property of the hospital were presented by a former patient, and three one-year subscriptions to the American, Life, and Reader's Digest magazines have been ordered by the Men's Student Council.

Band to Play Spring Recital March 11
Spring will come to Mount Oread 11 days early this year, for at 8 p.m. on Monday, March 11, the University of Kansas band, directed by Russell L. Wiley, will present its annual spring concert in Hoch auditorium.
To keep his musicians in top condition for the program, Professor Wiley has ordered, in addition to the regular daily practice sessions, two Sunday evening dress rehearsals, each of which will last four hours.
"This year's concert should be better than any of the preceding ones because of the popular appeal of many of the numbers which we are going to play," Professor Wiley said yesterday.
Among the selections which should especially please the audience are the "Rumanian Rhapsody No. 1" (Enesco), which is considered one of the most difficult and also one of the most colorful numbers ever transcribed from the orchestra score, and the "Manx Overture" (Wood) which is built around folk tunes from the Isle of Mann.
Students who enjoyed the selection presented by the saxaphone quintet between halves of the Kansas-Missouri basketball game will have an opportunity to hear them again playing the popular Russian hymn, "Dark Eyes." This number is arranged by a member of the group, Joe McAnarney, e'41.
Other outstanding presentations will include "Siegfried's Rhine Journey" from the opera "Gotterdamerung" (Wagner), a new transcription from the orchestra score; a cornet solo of "Ave Maria" (Schubert) by Eugene Crabb, fa'41; and a marimba solo of "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" (Saint - Saens) by Robert Jenkins, fa'43.
"Sonata for Oboe No. 1" (Handel) will be played with band accompaniment by Robert Foman, fa'42, and the ever popular "Finlandia" (Sibelius) will be offered by the entire band.
The arrangements of "Ave Maria" (Schubert) and "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" (Saint-Saens) have been made by Bill Ward, fa40, base drummer of the organization.
New Actors—
Fun-loving friends of the family are the Potters, Nick and Susan, played by George W. Fey, c'41, and Mary Noel, c'40.
(Continued from page one)
Relatives of the family *stud wet blankets to Linda's party are the Crams, Seton and Laura, played by Harold Long, b'41, and Arluine Goodjohn, fa'40.
The two other characters in the all-student cast are Bill McGinnis, c'43, as the butler and Elizabeth Kirsch, c'40, as the maid.
The show is being directed by Rolla Nuckles, instructor in the speech department, and will have two performances before it opens its formal run in Fraser Theater March 8 for four nights. The first will be the afternoon of March 29 for an audience of high school students attending the state drama festival here. The play goes to Wichita University for a one-nighter April 5.
Briefly, the story of "Holiday" is the story of Johnny Case who wants to enjoy life while he's young. He is engaged to Julia Seton who agrees with her rich father that Johnny should settle down in the banking business. Linda Seton wants fun. And thinks the Setons, as a whole, are rather a stuffy lot. So does her brother Ned, but he can't do much about it.
Johnny doesn't want to get in the rut of merely making matters, which finally splits him with Julia. So Linda steps in.
Highlight of the play is the second-act New Year's Eve party which Linda gives in the old playroom of the Seton mansion.
First produced in 1928 the play has enjoyed intermittent successes

Marionette Show Here March 27
The Tony Sarg Marionettes, whose fame has made them almost legendary characters in the puppet world, have been signed for afternoon and evening performances in Fraser theater on Wednesday, March 27, it was announced today by D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Each year, this group tours the county, and, when Dean Swarthout learned that the Marionettes had an open date in this territory, he immediately arranged for them to appear on Mount Oread.
Appearing as an extra attraction not listed on the concert program, the Marionettes will present two shows, "Robin Hood" and "Treasure Island", at both performances.
When the contract was signed, a stipulation was made that Fraser theater, despite its limited seating capacity, rather than Hoch auditorium, would be the scene of the show. This was done because much of the interesting dialogue is lost in larger theaters.
A special program for children of grade school age will be given in the afternoon with an admission price of 10 cents being charged. Tickets for the evening performance will sell for 50 cents.
Because the Marionettes constitute an extra attraction and were not scheduled on the concert program, student activity books will not be honored for admittance.
World's Fair Wants Guides
Applications have been requested for University students having at least one year of college for guides and chair operators at the New York World's fair this summer, Marvin Goebel, secretary of the men's student employment bureau, said today.
Although the request was directed mainly to students who will be available May 1, Goebel said there was a possibility that others might obtain summer employment at the close of school. He urged interested students to call at the employment office to fill out the applications within the next 10 days.
Weather Fair and warmer.
Compensation will be made on a commission basis, with a 30-cent an hour guarantee.
Qualifications for the combination guides and chair operators include: eighth not less than 5 feet, 10 inches and not more than 6 feet, 2 inches; weight not less than 155 and not more than 215; age 18 to 25; and a clean complexion.
Spring Stimulates Book Withdrawals At Watson Library
The approach of spring has seemingly stimulated rather than slowed down the number of students who use the facilities of Watson library, according to figures furnished by Miss Fay Moys, reserve librarian.
The all-time high for books checked out in one day was 1335 in 1937, but the daily results in February have twice challenged this record. 1327 books were checked out on Feb. 20, and 1326 more were distributed on Feb. 27.
On the last Sunday in February, reserve desk attendants shoved books across the counter at a rate averaging slightly more than three a minute.
W.S.G.A. to Vote On K-Book Bill
The K-book bill, already passed by the Mens' Student Council, will definitely be voted on when the W.S.G.A. executive council meets at 7 tonight in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, according to Velma Wilson, W.S.G.A. president.
The bill, which provides a method for choosing K-Book officials, was tabled last week after a discussion over an amendment, added by the M.S.C., dealing with appropriations for its support.
Final plans for the eletcion of officers, to be held March 14, will also be discussed by the W.S.G.A. council.
Quill Club Jubilee to be Thursday

Push 'Be Kind to Goalpost' Move May Be Curfew on Brawls
The prospects for a sell-out before the Prom date, Saturday night, seemed "very promising" Fred Littooy, 1'42, student dance manager said today. The encouraging increase in sales over the weekend signified interest on the part of outsiders, he said, and he expected more sales among University students before the limit is reached.
Tickets are on sale at the University business office, Memorial Union lounge, and Bell's Music store.
F. D. Farrell, president of Kansas State College, yesterday commenced action by the Men's Student Council here which empowered Mullen to make peace ovations to the Manhattan council.

Peace seemed on the way today between the University and Kansas State college when the first definite step to bring the warring schools together was taken by M.S.C. president C. H. Mullen, l42.
In a message to Russell indent coucil, Mullen lamented the schools and invited student councilmen from Manhattan to the University for a peace banquet. Mullen said he hoped the banquet could be made an annual affair.
In a message to Russell Leeper, president of State's student coucil, Mullen lamented the strained relations between the

Announce Spring Bridge Tourney
A gold medal and the right to represent the University in a short wave radio tournament with another University, is the award which will go to the team winning the spring bridge tournament to be held in the Memorial Union building the week beginning March 12.
Arrangements have been tentatively made with the University of Wisconsin for a short wave radio match sometime during April. The technical details of the match will be handled by Ed Price, c'42, amateur radio operator.
Entry blanks for the tournament may be secured from the Union Activities office or at the hostess' desk in the Lounge. All entries must be turned in to the hostess' desk by Saturday noon.
The rules of the play will be the same as those used in the finals of the fall tournament. The Mitchell duplicate bridge system will be used for the first rounds and the Howell duplicate system for the finals.
Petition Is Sent To Waring
An airmail special delivery letter containing 1200 signatures of students was sent yesterday by Bill Hogle, b'41, to Fred Waring, to prove that University student interest indicates a desire to have a song written and sung by Waring for the University.
Waring's earlier reply to a request sent to him by Fred Ellsworth, alumni, secretary, indicated that he would write the song only if enough interest was evidenced. The signatures included most of the "big" names on the Hill, and Bill Hogle, promoter of the petitions, said that he could easily have secured nearly every student's signature if he had taken more time. Every fraternity, sorority, and organized house signed petitions, many of them cooperating 100 per cent.
W.L. Husband Speaks Here On Thursday
By Bob Trump, c'42
Wilfrid L. Husband, political economist and graduate of the University department of journalism in 1922, will speak in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 Thursday night on "Sweden, Where Human Values Count."
The lecture will be supplemented by documentary color motion pictures which the speaker has filmed on two extended visits to Sweden.
With a growing realization of the importance of education in strengthening democracy throughout the world, Husband will describe the achievements of the Scandinavian country where education is more highly developed than in any other nation.
In addition, he will offer a timely analysis of the current situation in Northern Europe and present discussion of Sweden's success in reducing unemployment, curbing high prices, and raising industrial production.
After being graduated from the University in 1922, Mr. Husband was engaged in journalistic work in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and New York City. Later, he became advertising manager of Scribner's magazine, but resigned that position in 1930 to tour the world. Since then, he has spent his time studying and lecturing on international problems.
Mr. Husband is the youngest brother of Mrs. Waldemar Geltch, the former Agnes Husband, dean of women at the University from 1923 to 1934.

New Spring Handkerchiefs Are Colorful
Handkerchiefs have come a long way from the plain white serviceable ones that mothers pinned on their school-bound daughters. Now they are as colorful as well as practical and are used to add a note of color to a suit or dress and worn over the head to anchor the coiffure from Hill breezes.
They are as frivolously colorful and gay as they are femininely white and lacy. All of the early spring blossoms, violets, tulips, carnations, bachelor buttons, cornflowers, pansies, mimosa, field flowers, roses, and iliacs, are tied in bow-knots, and nosegays and bunched or separately scattered symmetrically on fine Irish linen.
Some have amusing phrases and pictures printed on them that will help start the conversation rolling in an embarrassing silence or pause. The white ones are embroidered, French-knotted, and frilled with lace.
The scarf mode which has become so firmly entrenched on college campuses gives the opportunity to own and wear bright peasant scarves to many a college miss. Scarves, which are nothing but over-large handkerchiefs, help to do away with that bare space from chin to neck necessitated by collarless suits, coats, and sweaters. They are matched to gloves or to the trimming on the hat.
If you are puzzled over what to give that girl for Easter, try a floral handkerchief to match her Easter corsage because all women are handkerchief boarders at heart.
I.S.A. to Dance Friday Night
With the coming of Spring, Independent students who are members of the ISA will dance, Friday night from 9 to 12 to Clyde Bysom's orchestra in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.

Sun Machine Eliminates Architects' Guess Work
The principal cause of poor eyesight—incorrect natural lighting in the home—and many other problems which are involved in home designing and planning may be solved in the future by the use of the recently invented Heliodon, a sun machine for architecture study. The Heliodon was designed by Prof. G. M. Beal of the School of Engineering and Architecture. Work, which began two years ago, was completed on it last week.
The Heliodon, which resembles a giant robot swinging a lantern from his shoulder, will be used in studying the orientation of the home as a whole in respect to natural lighting conditions. A model home, for example, is placed on a base table under the Heliodon for study purposes.
The Heliodon will be of special value to the architect in designing the class room or any such room which demands the best in natural lighting.
A powerful floodlight, representing the sun, is suspended above the table and is attached to a rod which can be shifted to any position over the model. This sun-like arrangement, set at a certain height and driven by an electric motor, follows the real sun's path through the course of one day. Thus, the study and the design and architecture for any room in the home may be made by analyzing the light's rays as fall on different parts of the model both interior and exterior.
Since the floodlight may be extended to any position above the model, and as it may be stopped at any position, (which the sun is not likely to do) at any time of day, month, or year, a constant source of study is available for any position on the earth through the use of the model. Beneath the table is a conveniently located mirror which, by reflecting the rays of light, gives an inside "peek" at the model from below, thus enabling the architect to get a true view of lighting for any home.
The guess work is gone—all types of situations may now be faithfully reproduced. The architect may now make all his deductions into facts taken from the scaled model. According to Professor Beal, "individual rooms for work and play or study and sleep may be tried and analyzed for the correct amount of natural light."
In addition to the problems of individual room lighting, major problems of slum clearance, city planning, and rehousing can be studied through the use of the sun machine. The operating room, for example, may be improved an estimated profitable percentage.
Plans are now being made to exhibit the Heliodon at the Engineering Exposition, April 19-20. The machine was built by Verner Smith, instructor of machine construction.
Merchants's Spring Showing Thursday

Cagers Look to Sooner Game
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
June Bierbower, the gal sports ed at Nebraska, was much impressed after the exhibition Ralph Miller put on for the Husker fans a few days ago. . She sez it's a good thing for the Jayhawk football opponents that "Riflin' Ralph" has moving targets on the gridiron instead of stationary ones as on the court. . Incidentally, Miller started at center last night when the Jayhawkers took the floor against Creighton at Omaha. . Frank Spence, the Oklahoma Daily sports scribbler, can't even figure out a way to beat the Jayhawkers on paper, which must be some kind of a record.
Nebraska whipped Okalahoma and Missouri mopped up on Kansas State in dual track meets over the weekend and it's hard to see anything but a two-team fight between the Tigers and the Huskers when the six-cornered track argument comes off Saturday night in Municipal auditorium at Kansas City.
Herb Hartman, burly football player, may wave the spring drills and keep on throwing the shot for the track team. . Baker tracksters come over every now and then to work out under the stadium with the local thinclads. . The baseballers checked out suits this afternoon and the golfers have their first meeting at 7:30 tonight, so it looks like we are going to have spring sports after all. . Only once this season did Coach George Edwards of Missouri fail to start the second half with the five that walked off the floor at intermission.
NOTICE
All women students planning to go to Norman, Okla., for the basketball game Friday, March 8. must have a letter of permission mailed direct to this office by their parents, and sign up in the office of the Adviser of Women, 220 Frank Strong hall, by 4 p.m. Thursday.

Douglas Miller, c'40, social fraternities; Louise Grayson, c'40, social sororites; Jerry Riseley, b'40, independent men; Mary McLeod, b'40, independent women; Harry J. Brown, m'43, professional fraternities.
Bluejays Win Last Night By Two Points
Omaha, Neb., March 5—The Creighton Bluejays had a happy ending to a medicore season when they downed the Kansas Jayhawkers, 35 to 33, here last night as the season's largest crowd turned out to see the Big Six leaders in action.
The 2,500 fans had a big time during the opening half as Roach, Kelley, and Kittelson, all seniors closing brilliant careers, led the homelings to a 25 to 13 lead. However, they had quite a scare late in the game as the Jayhawkers came back with a rush and all but caught the Bluejays.
Howard Engleman, blond headed Kansas forward, paced the visitors with 13 points, with teammate Don Ebling next in line with eight. Ralph Miller, high scoring forward, was held to three points.
The Jayhawkers returned to Lawrence this morning, trying to forget their fourth defeat of the year and began pointing for their engagement with Oklahoma Friday night in Norman and their chance to win the Big Six title undisputed.
The squad went through a light practice this afternoon. All hands were in good shape after the battle at Omaha and are eager to meet the Sooners Friday.
A victory over Oklahoma will give them the conference flag with no strings attached and pit them against Oklahoma A. and M. to see who represents the fifth district in the N.C. A.A. cage playoffs.

(This is the fifth of a series of articles dealing with prospects in the various events at the Big Six indoor track meet to be held in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Saturday night. Tomorrow: the pole vault.)
Shot-Put Champion Not Favorite This Year
Holder of the American and national collegiate records in the shot put, Elmer Hackney of Kansas State, the "One Man Gang," will attempt to successfully defend his Big Six indoor championship at the conference meet in the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City, Saturday night.
Officials: Parke Carroll (Kansas City) and Ted O'Sullivan (Missouri).
Big Elmer practically heaved the iron ball out of sight last year in setting a new American record of 55 feet 11 inches and a national collegiate mark of 55 feet $10\frac{1}{2}$.
Hackney won the shot put at the Texas Relays, the Kansas Relays, and the Colorado Relays. With this warmup he then polished off championships at the Big Six meet and the national collegiate meet.
Not The Favorite
All of which should make him a prohibitive favorite to win the indoor championship for the second

straight year, but he is not. A wrist injury almost ended his track career and kept his marks below 50 feet in the early season meets.
Consequently Hackney rates no better than an even choice with Ed Wibbels of Nebraska. The big Husker defeated Hackney in the Nebraska,-Kansas State dual meet and may be able to do it again. Wibbels, who is the holder of the national high school record in the discus throw, was third in the shot put last year.
Most likely choice for the third spot is the Kansas State shot putter, Bill Vanderbilt. The Wildcat weight man was fifth in the outdoor meet and tossed the iron ball more than 48 feet in one meet last spring.

Another Cornhusker and another Wildcat are expected to battle it out with three Missouri Tigers for third and fourth in the shot put.

The other contenders for third are Ray Prochaska of Nebraska and Myron Counsel, Stillman House, and John Ellis of Missouri. All have marks to their credit of 46 feet or better.
The Kansas fencers, now coachee, by Jim Raport, have the record of not losing a meet in the last eight years of competition.
Results of the individual matches are as follows:
Haven Glassmire (K.U.) defeated Harley Harresi, 5-0 and Arleigh Lassiter, 5-4.

Coach Getto Checks Out Twenty Suits
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
With old sol peering down brightly this afternoon, hinting of spring in spite of a chilly wind, more than 20 prospective Jayhawker baseball players reported at 3:30 to check out suits from newly-appointed c oach Mike Getto. With only six veterans, two of them pitchers, back, the former freshman football coach faces the task of building a new team.
The first two-game stand is scheduled with Kansas State, April 12 and 13, here. Getto said today that he intends to get a practice game with some nearby team before that time to provide some real competition. Likes Oklahoma and Missouri
Until the season opens, the team will work-out five days a week. Getto indicated that he means to put his charges through a lot of stiff practice, because most of his mate-
The first meeting was conducted today under the west side of the stadium, because weather conditions won't permit players outside for a while. For the first few sessions, practice will be confined to throwing the ball around and drills on the fundamentals. With the close of the track season nearing, coach Getto will take his charges into the heated "field house" under the east side of the stadium for training until warmer weather arrives to allow practice on the diamond.
Ed Hall and Frank Bukaty, regulars on the first string in 1939, won't be back. They both lack two hours of credit hours to make them eligible.
Getto is confronted with the problem of filling in two gaps in the outfield, with only Captain Eldreth Cadwalader returning. Three utility men from last year, "Chuck" Cramer, Larry Hensley, and Paul Hienz, will probably see first team play this spring. One bright spot on the baseball horizon is the return of pitchers "Red" Dugan and John Burge. The rest of the team will be built from new recruits.

Sig Alph's and Phi Delt's Win Playoff Spots
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta won playoff berths as a result of last night's victories. The Sig Alph's defeated Phi Kappa Psi, 34 to 22, while the Phi Delt's turned back a fine Delta Chi outfit, 16 to 8. In the other intramural contests, Kappa Eta Kappa downed AlPhi Chi Sigma, 32-19, while the Dunakin Club fell before Rock Chalk, 15 to 36.
Connecting on about 50 per cent of their long shots, the Sig Alph's ran wild in the third quarter, piling up their decisive margin at that time. Hall and Zieglemeyer, Sig Alphs, were especially effective long shot artists. Arbuckle led the Phi Psi attack and performed brilliantly on rebounds.
Trailing at halftime, 5 to 6, the Phi Delt's launched a second period rally which produced 11 points and victory. McKinley and Kern, Phi Delts, starred in their team's impressive triumph while Ed Hall was outstanding for the losers.
Woolverton and Benedict had their eyes on the hoop and scored 28 points as the Rock Chalkers won easily from Dunakin Club, 36 to 15. Kappa Eta Kappa moved in front, 11 to 8, at the half and continued to hold their lead, winning 32 to 19 from Alpha Chi Sigma. Top notch man of the game was Richardson, K.E.K. forward. The box score:

Enfeebled League Should Die
The League of Nations, Woodrow Wilson's idealistic phantasy of wishful thinking, always has been inadequate to mediate successfully conflicts between major powers. Its role in the present European conflict, and more particularly the Soviet-Finnish war, has accentuated its shortcomings to the point of making it appear absurd.
On December 10, the Assembly of the League, empowered by the League's Covenant, to "deal . . . with any matter . . . affecting the peace of the world," asked the Soviet Union to halt the war and undertake negotiations. Russia's reply on the following day was a curt refusal, and the Reds pressed their attack across Finland. Then, on December 13, the League formally and ambiguously recognized Russia as the aggressor in the conflict. Russia was summarily dropped from the League's rolls as a feeble punishment for its failure to accede to arbitrative measures.
The League has been a noble experiment. Its work, outlined in the Covenant as superviving "the execution of agreements in regard to the traffic of women . . . and the traffic in opium and other dangerous drugs" and in matters "for the prevention and control of disease," has been notable.
But these matters were only of secondary
New Spain Rises Under Franco
The outbreak of war in Europe crowded Spain from the top place in world news which it held during its civil war, but lack of news is no indication that Spain is remaining dormant. Reconstruction is taking place politically, economically, and socially.
The two chief political aspects of the reconstruction are the handling of Spanish Loyalists and the steering of the country along the straight and narrow way. Loyalists have already been taken care of by expulsion, execution, and confinement. Franco is for maintaining the status quo politically, but such groups as the Falange, the Carlists, who want the return of feudal Spain, and German, Russian, and Italian pressure groups, are creating a small European situation inside the general's country. Right now Franco faces the problem of turning a military government into a civil one and curbing Spanish sympathy for Finland.
Spain needs raw materials, for her trade with Germany has almost ceased. Before the war, one-half her exports and imports were with Germany. Now she is making trade agreements with the allies. She recently put 3,500,000 pesetas into circulation, instead of borrow from the democracies. This may easily have an inflationary effect. At the same time, agricultural production has not yet recovered.
Franco should be given credit for his management of the different phases of the reconstruction. Specifically, his determined effort to concentrate on a ten-year rebuilding plan is admirable. Rebuilt cities and towns already have begun to rise phoenix-like from the ashes of war.
The influence of the church and the large popular wish for return to a monarchy, are the social elements arising from the foundation of Spain.
importance. The League has failed in accomplishing its real mission. Dissolution of the present League seems the only honorable recourse—even though it means the breaking of a beautiful bubble.

Professors Like 'Whodunnits' Students-Dignitaries Read Variety of Books
By Stewart Jones, c'40
Not many students know that a secret hobby of their most saturnine professor may be that of reading detective stories.
But it's true.
In an interview which disclosed a number of interesting facts about University reading habits, Mrs. Dorothy Marsh, for 12 years proprietor of a local book store, said recently that a number of college professors are regular customers at her murder-mystery rental shelf.
The scholarly gentlemen, she said, often relax by reading a book in an evening and solving the "whodunnit" as others would a conundrum.
But professors read extensively in other literature, too—and this practice is emulated by a sizable minority of University students. Incongruous though it may seem in light of the frivolous spirit of undergrads, Modern library classics (Hardy, Dickens, Poe, Stevenson, and others) keep pace with the popularity of contemporary books.
"Days of Our Years", "Grapes of Wrath" and "Kitty Foyle" are on the students' best-selling list, but so are "The Complete Novels of Jane Austen" and "The Complete Poems of Keats and Shelley."
In Mrs. Marsh's shop are nearly 2,000 books, 350 on the rental shelf. Books are taken out and returned to the rental shelf at a rate of more than 200 each week.
"This is an especially good year for art," Mrs. Marsh declared. "Several books on painting, drawing, and music have been published the past few months, and they are popular with students and professors alike." Two current best-sellers of this type are Rockwell Kent's book of "World Famous Paintings" and a collection of "Vincent Van Gogh's Paintings and Drawings."
Engineering students, asserted Mrs. Marsh, are more intensive readers of current non-fiction than any other students of the University.
With complications in international affairs has come a surge of interest in acquiring a background for the study of political relations. The popularity of "Mein Kampf" and "Inside Europe" are exemplary.
Student reading, Mrs. Marsh has found, covers a wide field and today's student, who is backgrounding his studies, becomes acquainted with the theme of both contemporary works and older, more established literature.

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
Here we go again! Every now and then in this column we say "we" and we do mean "we." In other words, we're not talking about two other fellows as it would seem to one familiar with the editorial "we." We are giving your the straight stuff; "We" are Reginald Buxton and Walter Meininger.
Reason this is brought up is that a paper recently quoted the "Shin" and referred to the conductors of it as "Buxton Meinginger, bright young conductor—" So before we are offered a contract with the Ringling Bros. to go on exhibition as the only living Siamese columnists in captivity, let's all get it straight that we are really "we."
And still another correction: It wasn't Tilde Fowler alone at whom the Missouri boys were casting slurring remarks last Friday night. The Right Side of Our By-Line's haircut, or rather the haircut he didn't have, came in for a little razzing too.
Our apologies, Missouri, and may Quantrill remain your worst gentleman!
You can't even trust your better-half in this gossip racket. He was afraid we'd make fun of him and his haircut so what do we get: a lot of chivalrous tripe about his girl being insulted. We're digusted! And we don't mean "we."
You've all heard that feminine malarkey that goes something like this: "I've just washed my hair and j-u-s-t don't know what to do with it." Well, a Chi Omega pulled it on her date at Brick's the other night and he came back with "Yeah, well I washed my
hands and I just don't know what to do with them." (Screams.)
Sour Owl's "Confessions of a Coed" didn't confess anything a man could not find out for the price of a coke. "She'll get down to brass tacks next issue," promises The Rake Robertson.
Yes, Jimmy, and if she does you can bet your cowboy boots against our chances for the Pulitzer prize that Henry Werner will be getting down to his brass knuckles.
Good scout Sea Scout Bill Overton brags about the big whaling ship Topeka keeps in riggings for his troop. Next to trying to raise a wheat crop that is the silliest thing we've ever heard of in Kansas—and dangerous too. Let F.D.R. hear about it and he'll be wanting to send them a brace of dreadnaughts to keep painted.
Side-lights: C. H. Mullen, always for the "underdog", plays a marble machine, resting it on his toes to even up the odds.
Hillville Bugle Notes: Gene Kuhn, Ken Postlethwaite, Bill Koester, Eldridge King and a group of friends intend to start for Finland as soon as the spring season is over to join the Finnish forces. Roscoe Born and Gerald Banker will accompany them as far as Vipuri where they will go by ski's to Moscow to visit some friends.

Medic Amputates Barking Canine's Vocal Cords
Here's one for the books—a dog whose bite is worse than his bark. And then again, maybe you (if you've been placed both in an embarassing and painful position by a dog's bite) wil admit that fact, and snap "so what!" at us. But we'll carry on, for there's a story behind this little bit of reversed philosophy.
By Bill Koester, c'41
James Hoopingarner, of Meriden, has had the unique job for two years of keeping persons living near the campus safe from dogs whose barks are worse than their bites. Hoopingarner, a student in the School of Medicine, found sleeping a problem—and so did his neighbors—because of the incessant barking of dogs in the University's dog pound, a project of the physiology department, which is located nearby. So something had to be done, and Hoopingarner did it.
Woof! Woof!---at the Dickinson theatre. You already know who is in this-picture so all we can add is this; illustrated is a bright spot in a bright picture.
He began and has continued performing the painless operation by cutting the vocal cords of the dogs, a service which has enabled him to finance his expenses in the School of Medicine.
Which goes to prove that the dumbjohn who said that a dog's bark is worse than his bite had better straighten out the matter with Hoopingarner—or suffer the consequences.

High Enrollment Raises Census At Practice House
An increase in the number of home economics majors this semester has made it necessary for five, instead of four, girls to live at the Home Management house this six weeks.
This training period is offered to majors in the department in order that they may gain practical experience in household management. During the time the girls are there, they take charge of all duties of the house, such as cooking, cleaning, and budgeting. Their duties are changed every week.
The following girls are living at the Home Management house now: Muriel Johnson, c'40; Lorraine Love, c'40; Merle Hall, c'41; Virginia Bowser, c'40; and Helen Garrett, c'40.

Speaker Here For Rest Before Talk
Wilfrid L. Husband, student of world affairs and graduate of the department of journalism in 1922, will arrive in Lawrence this afternoon for a short rest before taking the stage of Hoch auditorium at 8:20 o'clock tomorrow night to speak on "Sweden, Where Human Values Count."

Supplementing the political economist's discussion of Sweden's success in the financial and educational worlds will be several reels of color motion pictures, taken by Mr. Husband during two visits to the Scandinavian country.
For eight years following his graduation from the University, Mr. Husband occupied himself with journalistic work in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and New York City. Since 1930, he has spent his time touring the world and getting first hand information on international problems.
To Stay With Sister
Because he has kept in close touch with world affairs, one can well believe the speaker's statement that: "But for the internal failures of one proud nation after another, the world would not be facing war today. Sweden knows her greatest strength lies in a strong internal (Continued on page five)

A spring musical comedy will be underwritten by W.S.G.A., it was decided in a meeting of the executive council last night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building. Nuckles to Direct
The W.S.G.A. council estimates the cost of the show to be about $500. All money taken in above this amount will be turned over to the W.S.G.A. scholarship fund. Production dates for the musical, to be directed by Rolla Nuckles, instructor in speech and dramatic art, will be April 23, 24, and 25.
The K.-Book bill, passed by the Men's Student Council Feb. 26 and tabled last week by the W.S.G.A. council after discussion of an amendment added by the M.S.C., was passunanimously last night.
The bill provides a permanent committee of six composed of the executive secretaries of the Y.M. and Y.W., one representative each from the W.S.G.A. and M.S.C., and the retiring editor and business manager. The amendment makes a representative of the Business office chairman of the committee, replacing the Y.M. secretary.
The W.S.G.A. election will be held in the basement of Frank Strong hall from 9-5 pm. March 14. Ruth Olive Brown, c'40, will be in charge. Graduate women may vote only for officers of the executive council.

Add 69 Names To N.Y.A. List
An addition of 69 students on the N.Y.A. payroll during the month of February was reported today by Miss Martha Tillman, executive secretary of the C.S.E.P. A total of 373 students and 14 graduates worked a total of 16,569 hours and earned $5,-609.40.
The relays are to be held the weekend of April 20. The upper classmen were selected two weeks ago from members of last year's committee. They have met several times for the preparation of invitations to the many high schools and colleges which will send teams. Besides the student manager, two juniors, four sophomores, and six freshmen make up the committee.
The total of new jobs, however only equalled the amount of withdrawals and decreases of individual earnings, Miss Tillman said.
Lonely Hearts Department 'Clean Looking Boy', 34, Asks Coeds to Write
A United Press story bearing a Lawrence dateline stating that University coeds were not as particular of the looks of their men as they used to be, inspired Bryan W.

Hearing Tests May Help Reading Course Students
By Emily Jean Milan. c'42
Color blindness is a common ailment, but not so well known is the fact that some persons are deaf to certain syllables. Working from this theory, the School of Education is giving an ear test to all students enrolled in the Reading Improvement course. ___
This type of deafness may affect the individual's vocabulary, and may eventually impair his ability to read, for when only parts of words are heard, they will not be familiar on the printed page.
There is no credit given for the reading course and is presented for those students who wish to improve their reading. Over 125 students, ranging from poor readers to excellent readers, have taken advantage of it this semester. The seven classes, which are filled to capacity, meet three hours a week.
A series of standardized tests, one of which is the ear test, is given to each student at the beginning of the semester, and the results show whether an ear and eye specialist should be consulted. One machine tests the eyes for astigmatism and coordination, and another takes a moving picture of the eyes during the process of reading.
The class work stresses systematic and accurate reading in order that the goal or idea of the material

French Hats Come to U.S.A. By Clipper
Although the Frenchmen have a war to fight, the milliners aren't letting it stop the shipping of bandboxes, each containing spring bonnets.
The journeyings of these hats are precarious. The majority are sent by plane and some arrive slightly the worse for wear, their fragile boxes crushed; but they do come and prove that the fingers of French milliners are still weaving straws, that the fleurists are still folding the petals of flowers so realistically that all they leak is perfume, and that ribbon manufacturers are still making rainbow hues.
The crowns of these French hats, which serve as models for French designers, rest firmly, even on straw sailors. There is a tendency to turn brims down at the back so that they fit close to the hair. The modified cloche is here again, made frequently with a cushion brim.
Little bonnets that bare the brow and a goodly band of the front hair are among the emissaries of the Paris spring millinery mode which have made their way here. Some are shaped like baby bonnets and with trimmings of fine bead embroidery. An example of this style has a half wreath of small field flowers at the front. One designer has provided her bonnets with ribbon streamers that come from under the sides of the brim and pass under the chin where they are tied in a fetching bow.
Many of the birds returning north for spring will light on little straw sailors in a rainbow of color. Birds are perched at all angles on the perky bonnets, keeping company with yards of veiling and dozens of bright flowers. The wearers of these spring hats will be walking heralds of spring.
Hults Will Speak To Junior G.O.P.'s
Don Hults of Lawrence, national committeeman of the Young Republican clubs, will speak at a meeting of the University's political club at 8 o'clock tomorrow night in the Men's lounge of the Memorial Union building.

Desk For Clay Molders Designed By G.M. Beal
The "clay molders" of the department of architecture in the School of Engineering and Architecture, the nick name of students who use clay to aid in their study of designing, find their work facilitated this year through the use of a new type of work desk, designed by Professor G. M. Beal, professor in the department of architecture.
Forensic Groups Begin Busy Week
The desk was designed to aid primarily in three dimensional form study. The purpose of three dimensional form study is to enable the student to see his final construction in three dimensions by the use of clay molds. After the clay form is completed, the usual work of elevation, plans and perspective is carried out.
Five debates in two days is the schedule of the University forensic groups this week as announced today by Prof. E. C. Buehler, debate coach.

Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
The two oldest records for the Big Six indoor meet are in the longest and shortest races . . . The two-mile mark of 9:37.6 was set 15 years ago by Balzer of Kansas State and Meier of Iowa State set the record for the 60-yard dash at 6.1 seconds in 1930 . . . Of the 12 standards on the books, the two-mile looks to be the most likely to go as Missouri's John Munski consistently beats this time . . . And more sure to stand is the record in the 60, which also ties the world's record indoors.
The defending champion Missouri team has three individuals who will be trying to preserve laurels won last year at the Big Six carnival . . . Munski captured the mile last year, Marshall Reeves won the 880, and Sol Schumitsky took the broad jump . . . Other blue ribbon winners back for another shot at honors are: Jack Morris, Oklahoma hurdler, and Elmer Hackney, K-State shot putter.
"Frosty" Cox and his Colorado cagers, winners of the Rocky Mountain conference, will go back to Gotham for a shot at the big tourney there next week then return to Kansas City to vie with the three other western representatives in the semi-finals of the N.C.A.A. playoffs . . . Rice Institute, of the Southwest conference, will do likewise . . . The other two teams to compete in Kansas City have yet to be named . . . One will be from the coast and the other from the Missouri Valley Sector . . . Sports writers Bus Ham of the Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoma and Jack Copeland of the Wichita Beacon are looking after the details and making contacts to get some of the Valley playoff games in their parishes.
Corbin Defeats Pi Phi's, 35-20; Play T.N.T. Next
A steady-playing Corbin hall basketball squad overpowered Pi Beta Phi, 35 to 20, last night to win the title of champion of the organized houses in the women's intramural basketball tournament.
Due to the sharp shooting of Lenore Grizzell, Mildred Wells, and Vergie Ray, Corbin took an 11-point lead at the end of the first half and held it throughout the remainder of the game. Vergie Ray scored highest with 15 points. Lilly Schmidt, Alta Bingham, and Marjorie Henry played an outstanding guarding game.
Pi Phi exhibited good teamwork and accurate passing ability. Virginia Anderson, Dennie Lemoine, Sue Haskins, and Jean Hinshaw starring.
Corbin hall will play the champion of the independent teams, T. N.T., Thursday for the basketball supremacy of the women's intramural teams.
Memorial Union Will Sponsor Ping Pong Team
A four-man table tennis, sponsored by the Memorial Union Activities board, has been organized to represent the Union building. Three of the members are the winners of last fall's tournament. A fourth man was added by Winford Ferry, e'40, chairman of the intramural commission. This group will play teams from surrounding cities and schools this spring.
Warren Shupe, b'40, Perry Peterson, c'42, Malcolm Black, l'42, and Don Estes, c'41, have been named as the starting combination for the first matches, which will be played in Topeka this weekend against an independent organization there. Bill Martin, c'43, will serve as alternate man.
The Topeka team will be the toughest opponents of the entire season. Two of the members are rated first and second in the state. They will be thrown against Shupe and Peterson, who finished first and second in the tourney here last fall.
At the present time Ferry is dickering for matches with Kansas State, Missouri and either an independent team in Kansas City, or the college
Jayhawker Athletes Use Miles of Tape In Year
By Larry Winn, c'40
Although the University of Kansas does not use as many athletic supplies as the other Big Six schools, still our athletes are "on the mend." From Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of intercollegiate athletics, and Dean Nesmith, head trainer, we find the following facts.
In one school year Kansas uses 250 yards of 12 inch wide tape. If this amount was left in the foot wide roll, it would go 2 1-2 lengths of the football field. But if it were cut into 1 inch strips and placed end to end, it would go around the outdoor track almost seven times.
Every year, K.U. athletes use about 600,3 inch gauze bandages and about
of the city of Kansas City. Return engagements will also be sought for contests with these squads, to be played in the Kansas room of the local Union building.
Officials plan to keep the team on a competitive basis. Once a week the alternate player may challenge the fourth ranking team member to a match, and in the event that he wins, he will move up to a berth on the first string. Approximately 10 men will be named a little later, who will be given an opportunity of challenging the alternate man each week.
500, 1 inch by 1 inch bandages. If these little bandages were placed together in quilt fashion, they would more than cover the outdoor polevauting pit. If all of 72, 1 yard by 2 1-4 inch wide ankle wraps were placed end to end, they would go the length of the University swimming pool almost four times.
Over 14 gallons of athletic limiment are used by trainer Nesmith each year. This means that if the "starting five" members of the basketball team were not in training, each member could have a bottle of Coca Cola every day for 58 days. The athletes use 8 gallons of gargle a year. This is enough to furnish Dr. Allen with 3 quarts of water a game, for 16 games. The feet of our men should be well bathed in the 9 gallons of Tuf-Skin used each season to make the player's feet tougher.
For Ralph Miller's injured knee alone, the University bought a whole sheepskin. There are many other smaller supplies. One item listed is 4 cans of aspirin tablets, which would probably last the average family of four people about 6 years.
Other materials like antiseptic powder, analgesic balm, tape remover, smelling salts, and healing ointments play an important part in the training supplies.
Intramural Card Closes Tonight; Playoffs Ahead
A determined Dominoe II team maintained a one-point lead for the last minute of a hard-fought ball game and nosed out the Hexagons I, 26 to 25. Corkill and Packard paced the Dominoes to victory. This contest was the only intramural game played last night.
Tonight's play will conclude the regular season and determine the teams who will perform in the play-offs. At 9 p.m, the Comets will meet the Hellhounds while the Buccaneers tangle with ISA-4. At 10 p.m. Delta Chi opposes a tough Delta Tau Delta five. The standings:

Glen Oatman, last year's tutor,
was on hand to give some helpful
hints to the new men. He stressed
that a great deal could be learned
about golf from a book.

Two Sophs Will Battle For Pole Vault Honors
(This is the sixth of a series of articles dealing with various events at the Big Six indoor track meet to be held in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Saturday night. Tomorrow; the mile run.)
Two young vaulters who should soon rank with the greatest Big Six pole vaulters of all time will head the field in their event at the conference indoor track meet in the Municipal Auditorium at Kansas City, Saturday night.
The pair of young stars are Harold Hunt of Nebraska, and Dick Higgins of Missouri. The two promise Big Six track fans a load of thrills during the next three years.
Hunt ranks as the best of the two at present, mainly on the superior performance at the Illinois Relays. The Cornhusker sophomore won the vole vault in that meet with a vault of 13 feet 6 inches. Higgins tied for second, vaulting 13 feet. Went 13-6 at Illinois
The Nebraskan has been consistently good this winter, vaulting 13 feet in the Kansas-Nebraska dual meet, then doing 13 feet 6 at the Illinois Relays and 13 feet 2 inches in the dual meet with Kansas State. Last year as a freshman, Hunt
The Montana boy was of slight build when he came to Missouri, but he followed the advice of Coach Chauncey Simpson and spent a good deal of time on the bars, horses, and other gymnastic contrivances. He is now a muscular youth and set a new school record in the pole vault by clearing the bar at 13 feet $ _{1/2} $ inch earlier in the season.
vaulted 13 feet to win a place in his event at the National Junior A.A.U. meet. Coach Ed Weir believes he has a great future.
Higgins, who hails from John Munski's home town, Lewiston, Mont, is more of a "made" vaulter than Hunt. Higgins vaulted only 11 feet 5 inches in high school, but has developed sensationally at M.U. Grew at Mizzou
Battling for the other places in the pole vault, will be Phil Scott of Nebraska, Jack Crocker of Missouri, and Bill Beven and Jack O'Hara of Kansas. Scott tied for fourth at the indoor meet last year and has vaulted 12 feet 4 this winter. O'Hara has a mark of 12 feet $61^{\frac{1}{2}}$ inches.
Trials for the billiard team, which will participate in the national three-cushion - telegraphic - billiard tournament, will be held in the recreation room of the Memorial Union building at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.
The selection of the team members depends on the player's ability to make 24 key shots. The five contestants having the highest score will be chosen for the team and the next two highest will be alternates.
This is the second telegraphic billiard tournament which the University has entered this year, Kansas won eighth in the national pocket billiards tournament on Feb. 29. The University of Michigan won first place.
a meal ticket is a good investment
3-Cushion Trials Tomorrow Night
The tournament will be run off at 7 o'clock next Monday night in the recreation room. The scores will be telegraphed to the other schools entering the contest and the winning team will be determined by a comparison of all the scores sent in by teams over the nation.

T
a Country!
HERE'S a lot in what you say, Mister. In many ways the United States is a terrible country. Millions of fine, capable Americans are unemployed. Graft, crime and poverty are still with us. No one can agree how badly off this country of ours really is.
But look at it another way. Mister. The strange Fate which governs the rise and fall of nations has given us a pretty fair break. We have more freedom, more security, more cars, colleges, hospitals, radios, telephones and electrical household equipment than the rest of the world.
Even so, Mister, you're absolutely right—we have a long way to go in this country. What's true of your nation is also true of our businesses. Take your electric company, for instance. We have come a long way. Yet each one of us knows we have a long, long way to go. It's true electric rates have been reduced constantly—though most of the things you buy have gone up in price. The best assurance that electric rates will go down and our standards of service will go up in the future, is the consistent past accomplishment of your electric company's people, whose untiring work has steadily brought rates down and service up.
As a matter of fact, better service and lower rates are measures of our progress. It's the American way of doing things—to distribute more of the good things of life and do it for less. That's the only way any business or institution can continue to exist.
Every employee of this company would like you to know this one thing. We realize the future of our company and our individual futures depend on how well we do our job for you. First, we must bring you the best possible service we know how today. Second, we must prepare ourselves to do a vastly better job for you tomorrow.
Yes, Mister, we people of the electric company are proud of the part we play in the American scheme of things. But we're not forgetting that we, too, have a long way to go.

Hull Can't Stop Them From Going to Aid Finland
An "underground railway", safer and more streamlined than the model of the 1860's, has been recently pressed into service, enabling American volunteers to reach Finland in less time and move simply than a Reno divorce. One detachment of volunteers sailed last week on the sea-going railway, according to an Associated Press report. They are the first of some 9,000 American citizens who shortly may be actively aiding hard-pressed Finland.
Two routes have been opened for the convenience of volunteers through the efforts of a clique of wealthy Swedish and Danish noblemen, including Count Folke Bernadotte and Baron Bror Blixen. One route is direct: passage as a crew member of a ship bound from New York to Sweden, Denmark or Norway; the second, more practicable because of maritime laws restricting crews and the supercargoes, may be termed the scenic route: via Ottawa, Canada. The Americans are given passage on the guarded convoys of supplies and troops bound for England. From England the route goes to Sweden, thence to the Finnish front.
At first, Secretary Hull's September dictum of no passports for those unable to prove "imperative necessity" was an effective red signal for the railway. Later, however, the operators became color blind when it was discovered that passports—which, after all, are only formal calling cards—were not needed now that foreign countries concerned were receiving informally. The volunteers of the "bootleg brigade" do not lose their citizenship, although the passports are necessary to uphold American citizenship rights abroad.
It appears doubtful if the United States, in its behind-the-scenes role in the northern war theater as a "benevolent neutral," will attempt any further impediments to block the embarkation of the unofficial expeditionary force. At times, neutrals, and particularly benevolent neutrals, find it more expedient to assume the position of the traditional Irish cop whose beat became less complicated when he looked the other way at the proper time.

But We Love It... 'It's Not Entirely Fun Say C.A.A. Student Fliers
By Leilyn Young, c'40
An airplane motor roars overhead. You look up—and think: "There's one of those lucky CAA flying students."
But, are we Civil Aeronautics Authority students lucky? Do you realize what we must go through to get this opportunity to learn to fly?
For an entire semester—day after day, week after week—we had to be at class at 7:30 o'clock each morning. We had to make up all our cuts. Even if the ground school professors, Howard Henry and Ralph S. Tait, of the School of Engineering and Architecture, didn't mind, the CAA requires that we spend a minimum of 72 hours in class.
Now we're attending class again for two weeks—half of us at 7:30 a.m. and half of us at 4:30 p.m. We're reviewing last semester's work before we take our government written final examination.
Before we're through with the subject and receive our private pilot's certificates, we'll have taken 14 different examinations and a number of shot guns. Included in the tests will have been two physical check-ups, one flying skill quiz, and five different types of final examinations.
There's no changing of a test day for us. The CAA specifies that just so many class periods will be devoted to each particular subject in the course, and on the final day of this period we have our quiz—whether or not!

Baker Beams, Students Snicker Books Borrowed
They all laughed when several thousand students placed their hands on a stack of grade-bearing post cards a month ago and swore that "this semester, I'm really going to study."
Those sworn scholars are last-laughing now.
Watson library circulation figures, released by C. M. Baker, library head, show that students were students more in February than in any other first-of-the-semester month in the library's history.
With classes beginning on Feb. 7, the month was left with only 22 days to run up a library figure. In that time, 19,140 books were checked out at the library's reserve desk alone. Clerks at this desk averaged 870 books a day.
Baker said that this was the largest circulation the reserve desk has even experienced for the month of February. Students checked out 2,408 more books this month than for the corresponding period last year.
Daily circulation came dangerously close to breaking the record twice during February. On Feb.20 the desk experienced the largest bookhandling of the month when it checked out 1,327 volumes. Feb.27 saw 1,326 books pass over the desk. Both figures are but a few volumes short of the record.

YOU SAID IT Curb News Display?
To the Editor:
The story of the confession of John Claflin in the recent incendiary incidents published Feb. 21 in the Kansan was a big story, of considerable local and state-wide interest. It covered the solution to an important and newsworthy local mystery, the central figures of which was a student well-known and well-liked on the campus. But was this story worthy, in all respects, of occupying three-quarters of the front page of the Kansan?
Most of our student body is drawn from the high schools to which the Kansan is sent daily. Interested high school students read it daily. Yet Phi Delta Theta fraternity, named in the inch-and-a-half headline over the story, was made to share, heavily, in the humiliation resulting from the incendiarism. The fraternity was in no way responsible for Claflin's actions; furthermore, it is one of the oldest and strongest fraternal organizations at the University.
There should be a certain amount of common courtesy, of discretion, of prudence, and of impartiality, among journalists. Editors and reporters for a college paper should endeavor to point out to their readers the better points, merits, and advantages of their school. News value should be prominent, but not predominant in determining the spread of a story.
Stories of this sort could be well reduced in size and prominence, if not eliminated completely from the front page of the Kansan. The Palmer bootlegging story, which gave very accurate details of how much liquor was found by police, is another example—and it was printed on the same page—of one of the reasons why K.U. is not given the support and recognition it deserves throughout the state.

The driver of the car that stopped at the Delta Chi house Saturday night under the impression that the lighted crest was a DX filling station sign was very much surprised to find the attendants dressed in tuxes.
Larry Winn, long a Gower Place hanger-outer, has been parking a little further down the driveway the last few weeks with Betty Muchnic serving as a very effective stop light.
We are no longer worried about getting a job. Look at Sea Biscuit, he's made $42,000 and he isn't forty yet!
And Sigma Chi's aren't all stupid, as witness Clarence Neal leaving his pin at the Pi Phi house with Ann Browning last night.
For a really sour note go to "Gone With The Wind" and wait for somebody in the balcony to roll a coke bottle down two or three tiers during one of the tense scenes.
The atmosphere along 'bout inter-
mission begins to remind one of the circus, with what ushers hawking programs and a coke concession in the foyer.
And someone is sure to sit next to you and call their shots on the next scene as they remember it from the book.
But we can say that "Gone With the Wind" is the only flicker that ever approached being what its press agents proclaimed it. And they didn't leave out any superlatives.
Coal Jig Installed In Engineering Department
A laboratory size "coal jig" has been installed in the department of mining and metallurgical engineering. The jig is a gift of the McNally-Pittsburg manufacturing company of Pittsburg, Kan.
A coal jig is a piece of mechanical equipment used by mining companies to wash the rocks, dirt, and other impurities from newly mined coal. Prof. C.M. Young of the department explained.

A new song is out called "Way Back in 1939 A.D." It's a very nice song, as songs go, but it isn't doing much to help one feel any younger Students are still not too feeble, however, to remember that last year around this time 32 per cent of the fraternity and sorority pledges failed to make their grades.
Everyone was excited about the civilian air training course, and taking physical examinations for it until they were blue in the face.
Count Basie was signed to play for the Junior Prom, and to add to the general confusion the Jayhawers let Missouri go happily off with the Kansas chance at the Big Six conference basketball championship.

It was about this same time, too, that last year's flue epidemic reached a new high.

Last year when Missouri finished in a first place tie in the conference, they withdrew in favor of Oklahoma, and some thought they might do the same thing again this year.
The whole affair depends upon the outcome of the game at Norman Friday night and the decision of the Aggies in regard to going to New York to compete in the Garden.

W.S.G.A.Show Tryouts Start Tomorrow
By Marty Boyle, c'41
"Swing 'n Sing" is the probable name of the W.S.G.A. spring musical to be produced April 23, 24, and 25, Rolla Nuckles, head of the production and instructor in speech and dramatic art, said today.
The show will follow the pattern of a musical revue, with comedy skits, dance routines, solo spots for vocalists and musicians, and Ross Robertson's Modern choir.
Music By Balzer. Hammer
Music for the revue will be written by Bud Balzer, gr, and Jimmy Hammer, fa'43. About 15 songs are ready for consideration tonight by Nuckles, who will look for production numbers, and Robertson, who will pick numbers for the Modern choir.
Tryouts Tomorrow
A 15 piece orchestra, probably composed of various members of hill dance bands, will be used in the production.
Tryouts for vocal parts in the musical will be held from 3:30 to 5 tomorrow afternoon in the Fine room of the Memorial Union building. These will include both solos and vocal harmony arrangements. Accompaniment will be furnished, but each person trying out must bring his own music.
Tryouts for dancing numbers will be announced at a later date.
Incomplete Grades To Be Removed
Incomplete grades in all classes in the College of Liberal Arts must be removed April 1, otherwise they will lapse into failures, Dean Paul B. Lawson advised students today.
The change in the incomplete deadline to the definite date of April 1 has been made to accommodate students and instructors alike, and to avoid the confusion and difficulty arising out of the tendency to neglect incompletes until final week.

Ray Harris, Jayhawker track captain who was expected to recover from an ankle injury in time to compete in the Big Six indoor meet at Kansas City Saturday, definitely will not run in the meet, it was announced at noon today by Bill Hargass, track coach.
Contrasts in music will be featured by Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra, when they make their first appearance on this campus for the Junior Prom Saturday night. Jimmy, "the world's greatest saxophonist," will start the evening with "Contrasts," his well-known theme song.
"He might have been able to do a little good in the mile," Hargiss said, "but I believe it will be better to keep him out and save him for later in the season.

Fred M. Harris, chairman of the Board of Regents, today declined to estimate what the new activity fee proposed yesterday for the University would be, but said that the Regents were planning to increase the sum.
In a telephone conversation with the Daily Kansan, Harris pointed out that the $8.75 fee paid here is "entirely out of line with denominational schools, other Kansas state schools, and schools of surrounding states."
"Our only notion is that there should be some equality among the various state schools," Harris said. "Perhaps not complete equality, but nearly so."
Kansas State Pays $15.00
Kansas state college pays an annual activity fee of $15 while each of the Kansas teachers' colleges has a $12 fee.

Lawrence merchants decided this morning to usher in spring styles in February weather and without music tonight at the Lawrence annual spring window unveiling.

Men's Clothes For Spring Harmonize
College men as well as college women are planning their spring wardrobes and a check-up on 1940's spring and summer market reveals that ensemble buying will play a more important part than ever in the clothes life of the well-dressed man.
Colors Harmonize
Men at the retail counters will ask for "shirts and ties that harmonize," "things that go together," and "grouped sets." Colors: Harmonize.
Ties, handkerchiefs, and socks are no longer matched identically in design. Instead the colors harmonize so that the effect of the ensemble is pleasant. It means that a man considers his whole wardrobe when he buys individual items, and instead of having six separate outfits, all of which wear with one another, he has one collection of clothes which are interchangeable, are in good taste, and will serve him well over a period of time.
Spring and summer of 1940 will be the biggest sportswear season to date. By careful buying, the college man will leave the University in June with a goodly selection of shirts, slacks, and jackets for summer wear.
Sport Shirts Simble
Cut and sewn sports shorts should be selected for their inherent comfort and simplicity of design. Steer away from gadgets, strings, and other thingamabobs. For active sports choose an absorbent knit pull-over in plain colors, or horizontal stripes.
Plaid sports jackets had their day and now stripes are the big news. They appeared last fall made up in Sheltlands and tweeds and have made fast headway early this spring. Gray and brown are the favorite background colors, and the vertical stripes run in a variety of colors, ranging from shades of blue and red through green, yellow, gray, and white. The jackets are all single-breasted, some with three and others with four buttons.

Quill Club Jubilee Set For Tonight at 7:30
The University Quill club will hold its first jubilee open-house in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building at 7:30 p.m. today in order to introduce the organization to K.U. students and to open the program for the new year. This meeting is open to the public. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, will be the guest speaker of the evening.
The University of Kansas is the birthplace of the national Quill club, since it had a local organization 14 years before formation of the national group. The first national club was established here by Ethelyn Mills, Edmund Bechtold, and Helen Rhoda Hoopes. Today there are 14 chapters in U.S. colleges.
Quill is an American college organization whose purpose is to encourage literary effort and criticism Admission to the organization of the applicant as to responsibility and creative effort.
Two new exhibitions have been received and put on display in the department of design during the past few days.
Art on Display In Frank Strong
Quill club is non-secret and nonfraternal, its nomenclature and ritual emphasizing the Anglo-Saxon culture rather than the Greek period. For this reason the Egyptian word "rune" is used to designate the chapters, giving this chapter the name of Feoh rune.
The first exhibition consists of work done by pupils of the department graduates who are now instructors of art. Material has been sent from Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, and one group comes from the students of Helen Huffman,'37, who is now teaching at the Polytechnic Institute in San Germain, Puerto Rico.
Second of the exhibits is from the Pratt Institute of Industrial Design
Feehr run has taken an active part in the national organization publishing for the past three years the "Oread" magazine containing contributions of the students. This magazine is sent to colleges all over the United States. The national organization also publishes a magazine, "The Parchment", which is now available at the periodical desk of the library.
Quill club is now operating under its new program schedule with the following officers: Evelyn Longerbeam, gr., chancellor; Mary Evans, c'43, scribe; Betty Schultheil, c'40, warden of the purse. Professor E. M. Hopkins is in charge of the club.
in Brooklyn, N.Y. This display is made up of photographs showing the work conducted at the Institute where a study is made of six conditioning factors: environmental needs, function, materials, tools, economics, and fine appearance, necessary to produce a fully developed design before manufacturing begins.
The exhibit of work done by pupils of graduates is being shown in studios 310, 314, 316, and the corridor of west Frank Strong hall. The display from Pratt Institute is showing in room 320.

Debaters Drop Contest To Texas
The University debate team lost to Texas by a unanimous decision of the three judges last night in Fraser theater.
Irving Kuraner, c'40, and Mac Wynne, c'40, defended the negative of the Isolation question for the University while Texas was represented by Julius Goldberg and Gilford Jones, on the affirmative. Judges for the only three judged debates on the campus this year were: Milton Beach, Douglas county attorney; Charles Springer, Lawrence attorney; and Walter Russell, instructor in speech in Lawrence Memorial High School.
Goldberg of Texas opened the constructive arguments by stressing that the United States had to choose one of three ways: war, economic aid to one set of belligerents, or strict isolation. The affirmative contended that it is better to lose trade than to go to war.
For the negative Kuraner contended that the Allies don't want our goods, they don't need them, and they couldn't pay for them if they did. The obvious results Kuraner told the affirmative is that trade won't bring us into war.
Constructive arguments for the affirmative were concluded by Gilford Jones of Texas with the argument that strict isolation would allow for peaceful program for solving domestic problems.
Mac Wynne closed the negative arguments by reminding the affirmative of the economic upset and maladjustment at home resulting from a policy of strict isolation. Wynne defended the cash and carry policy by saying that 90 per cent of the American people favor it, and that it results in sound economic trade.
The debate was concluded by Gilford Jones of Texas as he quoted Senator Borah, "Where goes the American dollar, there goes the American flag and there goes American youth."
John Lintner, instructor in economics, was chairman of the debate.
Young G.O.P.
To Hear Hults
Republicanism in Kansas will be the main topic of the speech delivered by Don Hults, of Lawrence, so members of the Young Republican Club in the Men's Lounge of the Memorial Union building at 8 p.m. tonight. Mr. Hults is the national committeeeman for Young Republican Clubs.
Results of the membership drive have been good, Bill Douce, e'41, said today. Since the drive started three weeks ago, about 75 new members have been added to the club. The drive will be continued for the next three weeks.
The speech tonight is one of the series planned by the membership committee. The next speaker, scheduled for three weeks from tonight, will be Glen Archer, secretary to the governor.
These Kids-- Texas Textbooks Enjoy A Very Short Life
Used textbooks in Texas usually wind up their careers as educators down by the railroad tracks in a place called the State Textbook depository, in Austin, according to the Daily Texas.
Those who paw over this dust-laden infirmary have found many interesting marks and articles, which are a psychology in themselves. Since the books represent use by children of nearly all ages, an accurate hieroglyphic account is exposed on the covers and pages. These extracurricular activities often dominate the educational func-
Letters, notes, and drawings are common, the clearing house employees tell us. Boys, especially, make disrespectful comments about the teachers and discuss juvenile work recently accomplished freely.
"Love, oh lovely love" seems to be the most outstanding hobby of the girls during school hours—that and making smart little wiscracks about their girl classmates. The girls have als) left valentines as bookmarks. Love letters and valentines—valentines and love letters—what a life for the clearing-house boys.
Both silver and bills are tucked within the pages of these discarded books. It is rumored that a porter found three one dollar bills in a book in the basement of the depository.
'Time' Offers New Series
For the school year 1937-38, I-
257,781 books were received by the
depository, of which only 145,427
were usable again the following
year.
A happy Time will be had by all Stories ended like that, way back in 1939 A.D. and before.
Yet this story begins thusly for legitimate reason. Something like Time newsmagazine's streamlanguage could have initiated the change. But it didn't. Something else Time is inaugurating accomplished the reform.
Beginning in this issue of hte DAILY KANSAN, Time Incorporated, is running a series of fullpage ads to run every other week on the back page. Running also in leading metropolitan dailies, the series is designed to give a clearer picture of the world of news-gathering, news-writing, and news-reading.
Jefferson once declared that if he were offered the choice between democracy without newspapers and newspapers without democracy he would take the latter. Believing this is an accurate expression of the importance of journalism, and that the

While Harris would not state whether the desired increase at Kansas State was to erect a union building there, other reliable sources hinted as much today.
Since the athletic and publication fee already is a compulsory part of the activity stipend at State, any increase there would be taken to mean that a union building is a probability.
Definite action on the matter probably will be taken by the Board in a week or so, Harris intimated.
Forty-two voters had fulfilled their obligations at the Y.W.C.A. polls in the basement of Frank Strong hall by noon today.
Much heavier voting was expected this afternoon, Eda Haddock, Y.W.C.A. secretary, said this morning.

Ready For 'Clutch' Game
Simonizing SportS
By JAY SIMON
SHORT SUBJECTS
Coach Bill Hargiss has been confined to his bed this week with the "flu" and trainer Sam Clucas and Captain Ray Harris have been taking over the coaching duties. Bill hopes to be back to his post tomorrow afternoon for final instructions before the Big Six indoor Saturday.
Iowa State believes it had the best swimming squad in its history during the past season. During the campaign, the Cyclones broke six conference records and four varsity records.
Creightons victory over Kansas evened up matters between the Missouri Valley and Big Six conferences for the season, each organization winning six games. Kansas State set the pace for the Big Six with one triumph in its only start. Missouri and Iowa State racked up two out of three, and Kansas and Oklahoma, brought up the rear. The Jayhawkers won one out of three and Oklahoma dropped both of its games with A. and M.
Gwinn Henry says his football team is a wide open affair and no players have their positions cinched. He's urging all men who have the slightest aptitude for the sport to check out suits for spring practice.
Martin Nash, only Missouri cage regular who will return next season, has been elected to captain the Tigers next season. The way things look now Coach George Edwards will have Nash and Loren Mills for guards, Arch Watson and Herb Gregg for forwards, and Keith Bangert at center.
Sooners Expect Record Crowd Tomorrow Night
(Special)
Norman, Okla., March 7—Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's dashing Kansas Jayhawkers, winners of six consecutive conference games, come to Norman tomorrow night for their "clutch" test with the Oklahoma Sooners.
A crowd that may surpass the 7-321 that saw the recent Sooner-Oklahoma Aggie game at Norman, establishing an all-time state attendance record, will converge upon the Sooner fieldhouse for this battle which will determine the Big Six conference championship for 1940.
If Kansas wins, she will take an undisputed Big Six championship
Dr. F. C. Allen, trainer Dean Neesmith and the 10-man Jayhawker basketball squad will leave for Norman, Okla., at 10:37 tonight for their game with Oklahoma tomorrow night.
Kansas Holds Decisive Win
back to Lawrence with her. If Oklahoma triumphs, a three-way deadlock for the crown will exist between the Sooners, Jayhawkers, and Missouri.
The two teams have already met once this season, Kansas spanking
the Sooners by 20 points at Lawrence early in January. Although Marvin Snodgrass, Oklahoma's excellent defensive guard, didn't play in that game because of illness, the 46-26 flogging administered by the Kanto Glenn Cunningham in the rank-

Greatest Tiger Miler
Harris and Munski May Battle for Mile Crown
Munski ranks as the greatest middle distance runner in Missouri history, while Harris is second only
Harris never has beaten Munski at the mile distance, but always is the man who gives the Missouri star the most competition. Ray will try to capture that elusive victory in their last race indoors.
(This is the seventh of a series of articles dealing with prospects in the various events at the Big Six indoor track meet to be held in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Saturday night. The series will be concluded with a review of the 60-yard high hurdles.)
Missouri's star miler from Montana and Kansas' crack mile runner from Missouri may clash for the last time indoors at the Big Six track meet in the Municipal auditorium at Kansas City, Saturday night.
The runners are "Lonesome John" Munski, the Tiger from Lewiston, Mont., and Ray Harris, the Jayhawk from Trenton, Mo. Both men are seniors.
Fastest mile clocking for each man was made in a relay race. Munski raced the mile anchor leg on a relay team in 4:10.5, while Harris in another relay was timed in 4:15. Husker May Cause Trouble
Last year Munski won the mile run at both the Big Six indoor and outdoor meets. Each time Harris was second. Indoors Munski set a new conference meet record of 4:17, while outdoors his time was 4:20.8.
The recent Kansas-Missouri dual meet did not bring about a renewal of the friendly rivalry between the two runners, due to Harris being out of action with a sprained ankle.
Chief competition for the two veterans is expected to come from Nebraska's brilliant sophomore miler, Harold Brooks. The Husker youngster raced the mile in 4:22.1 his first time out this winter.
Also in the battle for points in the mile will be Llewellyn Hughes of Iowa State and Paul Clingman of

However the Oklahomaans will be harder to stop here Friday. It's the final home game for five of their seniors, Jimmy McNatt, the ace score, Snodgrass the "Human Handeuff," Scheffler, big left-handed rebounder, Gene Roop, dependable reserve, and Capt. Marvin Mesch, a fine all-around player, and with their home crowd roaring them on, Drake's well-rested aggregation will go after it.
"Kansas has a great team of long shooters," praised Coach Burke, "They are the one team we play that we can always count on taking lots of shots. They'll gamble on a long shot anytime you let them get set on the court. They are a well-drilled team fundamentally, too."
Praises Miller
The Jayhawkers have four hot scorers in Bobby Allen, son of the coach, Howard Engleman, always scores freely against Sooner teams, Don Ebbling, and Ralph Miller, gangling Chanute boy who recently was rated as the best high school basketball player ever developed in Kansas with the exception of freckled Forrest DeBernardi of Iola.
Kansas also possesses a fine defensive rebounder in Dick Harp, a 6-foot 1 1-2 inch 184-pound boy, who played the game of his life in the Jays' recent 42-40 defeat of Missouri at Lawrence, and the rebounding duel between Harp and big Scheffler of the Sooners should be almost as fine a battle as the game itself.
Will Settle Scoring Race
The contest will have the additional distinction of settling the Big Six

individual scoring title for 1940. Miller of Kansas and McNatt of the Sooners are tied for the top at present and will settle the scoring supremace between them here.
Also, the game will pit Doctor Allen, dean of American coaches and a cunning strategist who knows all the angles forwards and backwards, against the youthful Sooner mentor, Bruce Drake, who is only in his second year of coaching. Drake could square his individual rivalry with Doctor Allen at two victories each if the Sooners win Friday night.

Baseball Players Workout Inside
Despite an acute lack of sunny baseball weather, 17 members of the Jayhawker baseball squad reported to coach Mike Getto yesterday afternoon to work-out under wraps. Activities were confined mostly to limbering-up exercises, with a little batting and fielding practice. Today the snow kept them inside the stadium.
Coach Getto had his men doing calisthenics most of the afternoon. They threw the medicine ball around for a while, and following a little fielding and throwing practice, tapered off with several laps of fast running to stretch leg muscles, now inactive after the winter lay-off.
Until warmer weather arrives most of the time will be spent in getting the men in condition. The first two games of the season will be played here April 12-13, against Kansas State.
The biggest problem this year will be in the infield. With the return of Captain Eldreth Cdwalader and three other utility men, the outfield will be well taken care of. Forrest Kresie, who pitched the Lawrence Ban Johnson baseball team to the finals of the state championship series two years ago, is eligible for the varsity this year. Combined with John Burge and "Red" Dugan, veteran hurlers gack fro milast year, eran hurlers back from last year, mound staff.

'Be Prepared'-Philosophy of Peace?
If William F. Russel of Columbia University represents the American educator's attitude toward war, our schools soon will teach the ideology of heavy military preparedness and a consequent spirit of intense nationalism. This latter principle emphasizes programs for better health, for strong support of religion, and for a realization of American ideals.
A third illustration lies in the present European upheaval, which has followed the greatest series of peace movements the world has ever known. From such a background, observers have concluded that peaceful ways have not kept the modern nation from war.
Concerning the enlargement of our army and navy, Russel asserts that "the only way to keep us out of war is to be strong enough to defend ourselves and let the world know it." Upholding this theory is the history of China's present struggle against Japanese invasion. For many years Chinese teachers taught their pupils to despise war, to look down upon the military class, to idealize peaceful ways. These principles did not lead that nation to war, but neither did they keep her from it. Shortly before the World War in 1914, the German chancellor, von Papen, believed the United States would refuse battle because he heard our people sing, "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier". Another German official, von Ribbentrop, observed Oxford students taking an oath not to fight either for King or country. Reports of both men indicated a conclusion that England and the United States were weak and would never rise in defense.
The second part of the ideology, the inculcation of nationalism, stands as necessary as the first principles. No people will tolerate preparation for war unless leaders first indoctrinate a fighting attitude. States lacking in national spirit and ties of common sympathy do not produce good soldiers. Central Europe with its gamut of races and interests well demonstrates what happens to decentralized countries.
Get Lewis Back Into the Fold
With Washington, Roosevelt, and labor still dizzy from Lewis' tornado walk-out on the New Deal, the C.I.O. and the leftist Democrat division are contradicting all rules of political technique if they allow the rift to remain much longer. Their common objective, liberalism, is standing in the path of a gale of reaction. Braving it apart, both may be blown to bits.
If Roosevelt should run again, he will be like a pugilist who has lost a good deal of weight. He may be more wiry and agile, but he will be easier to knock over. The President is faced by the questions of how many C.I.O. votes Lewis can control, how strong is the reaction in the Democrat party, and how unpopular has become his statement that the war boom would take up the slack in the national budget.
This is a time for Roosevelt and Lewis to look farther than individual differences, for their little chasm may grow into a canyon.
Lewis is another Napoleon in exile. Any other democratic nominee but Roosevelt will be to the right of the New Deal. No republican with a fighting chance is acceptable to the C.I.O. leader. Lewis' peace offers to the A.F.L. have been firmly refused, meaning that labor wars may continue even after the election. The split of labor is all that is needed to encourage Congress to start whittling down the Wagner Act and wage-hour law.
Thus, in the initiation of Russel's theory, American educators for the first time will have reversed the age-old rule of using pacifist ways to avoid warfare. Battleship and scholarship will reign together in an effort to maintain peace.

Make Mine Corned Beef- Friend of Famous, Oscar Is Simple At Heart
Oscar of the Waldorf-Astoria is only a host and head of a catering business, but today he might be classified as the man having the most famous friends in the world. This one-time busboy has unobtrusively shared the lime-light with kings, queens, and presidents, with the richest men and women in the world, and with notables who have excelled in almost every field of human endeavor.
The life story of this Swiss immigrant of 1883 can hardly be surpassed in interest. His comfortable office at the world-famous Waldorf-Astoria is full of mementoes from all his famous friends. He became their friend because he served them well each time they came to his dining-room. These visits have become increasingly more numerous for many years, for people know that here Oscar, as he is known to them, will serve them just as they wish. They also enjoy to chat with him, for he is a great old gentleman, with a country home and three charming children.
Oscar, (his last name is Tchirky), gives all the credit for his great success to his wife, who died last year. So many great men say this in speaking of their wives. And Oscar's reason for saying this is the same as most: "She was a good and sympathetic listener to all my troubles.
Their golden wedding anniversary was celebrated with a lavish banquet in typical Waldorf-Astoria style. On this occasion Oscar was relieved of all his usual duties. More than eleven hundred distinguished guests were present to honor him. This stocky little man is an esteemed friend to many people others would classify as snobs and high-brows. He knows their every taste, from the Viceroy of China to ex-President Hoover.
But of all the many famous and fancy dishes Oscar knows, he prefers for himself corn beef and cabbage. For Oscar is a simple man at heart.

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
This is the time of season when new loves should be in the making; When approaching spring's warmth melts the connection between a young man's mind and studies to reweld it to thoughts of new amorous conquest. In our usual terms, it's bally well time to start giring.
We had such a fanciful folly in mind when we quit our houses yesterday morn in the lightest clothing available short of nakedness. But lo, the afternoon! Gone were the Indian Springish thoughts and in their place only the materialistic wish to be wearing our heavy underwear.
So there'll be no times on "old loves for now" today. The weather is too uncertain.
D. U.'s are welcoming Bob Guy's attachment to Betty West. Heretofore, Guy's enjoyment of dating has been largely vicarious—at the expense of the brothers and their loved ones.
The most beautiful dream of all: Jo Davis dreamed that Everett Schruder chased Harry Hill to the steps of an Abilene church and then beat 'ell out of him. Try a diet of lobster and see if you can't dream that just twice more, Miss Davis.
For the past week admirers of art have been gloating over the air-brush paintings of Victor Kalin on exhibition at Hal's. Two of the four paintings are excellent copies of Petty drawings while the other two are feminine figments of Kalin's imagination. One of the figments was a nude to start with. The proprietors believed that it had the wrong kind of attraction and had Kalin blow a very negligue upon it. The negligee was negligible in its intent and in turn was surmounted by a gown decollete. Consensus of the males now is that Kalin started with nothing and got nowhere.
Louise Troutwein and Charles Skidmore, the giggle-jiggers who kick up such a fuss on the dance floor, kicked up a real fuss last night. Skidmore, irate at Miss Troutwein's library date following his for the midweek, rushed home and spent his time from 10:30 to 11:30 trying to get a date for tonight with one one else—just to show her.
Just call him anything: Pat Murdock and Jay Simons et al agreed to meet Ken Postlethwaite in the Green Lantern. The former forgot to tell the latter they'd be in the back room. After Pos had come in once and had left without seeing them, Simons came out and irreverently described to the waitress as a "silly looking guy" in a beat-up canvas hat" telling her to send him back when he came in. Spontaneously the waitress replied, "Oh, him? Why he's already been in and left."
Stamp Collection Exhibit
A collection of modern Greek airmail stamps, picturing Greek myths of flight, are on display in the exhibit case in front of Wilcox museum. The stamps were issued by the Greek government and have just been received by Miss Mary Grant, associate professor of Latin and Greek. Several well-known stories are illustrated, such as the winged horse, Pegasus, and the preading of agriculture from Cere's barjot.
Sandelius Speaks To S.D.X.
That "Americans are more familiar with the international situation than the average man in Europe" was the conviction voiced last night by W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, at a Sigma Delta Chi dinner in the English room of the Memorial Union building.
Just returned from Europe, where he spent last semester obtaining a first-hand view of the state of affairs abroad. Prof. Sandelius said he believed better information sources and the natural avidity of American
In regard to the war itself Prof. Sandelius said that "England is much more prepared now for war than she was a year ago. She is not overconfident, but her people are more concerned with just how confident they dare be."
newspaper readers accounts for this fact.
As he sees it there are two main desires in the hearts of all Englishmen to want to fight this war and bring about its eventual end. They are, he said, "to fight for the sake of the British Empire, and for the natural rights of man."
Among the impression he got while in Europe, Prof. Sandelius said that perhaps the fact that English universities "have a good deal more academic ideal than we have" was the most important thing brought home to him. "The English," he said, "believe American schools have gone too far in their extra-mural activities." At the same time, Prof. Sandelius revealed,
Two Attend Peace Meet At Southwestern College
Crystelle Anderson, c'40, and Doris Winzer, c'41, left today for Southwestern college, Winfield, to attend the International Relations Clubs conference Friday and Saturday, H. B. Chubb, faculty advisor of the International Relations Club, announced today.
The program of the conference, sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in colleges and universities, will consist of student round tables on world affairs and discussion of such problems as the Hull trade program and the Carribbean zone.
the "smug complacency" attributed to most Englishmen's personalities has given way lately to "a self-searching Englishman, with a love for his native land."
Faculty play night will be held Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Faculty members, faculty wives, and husbands are invited to attend. Games in shuffle board, deck tennis, ping pong darts and badminton will be played Beginning at 8 o'clock, there will be an hour of square dancing.
This is the third faculty play night that the women's physical education department, under the direction of Miss Ruth Hoover, Miss Joie Stapleton, and Miss Jane Byrn, has sponsored.

The Clue that Trapped the Heirs of Huey Long
ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 7,1939,a hot tip came in to the city desk of the New Orleans States, evening newspaper sister of the famous Times-Picayune.
When a truck drove up before a half-built house in the suburbs and began unloading window sash, the States' photographer was hiding behind a hedge. The picture he got touched off a string of giant firecrackers that blew hundreds of Louisiana politicos out of the public trough.
For the license plate proved that the truck belonged to Louisiana State University—and the half-built house belonged to the wife of a colonel on the governor's staff. Just a drop in the bucket of graft that the political heirs of Huey Long had been passing around for years. But the first case that could be proved—libelproof, airtight.
That night 64-year-old Jim Crown, the States' fighting editor, sat down on his bed and sobbed—reaction from months without respite in the front-line editorial trenches. "At last we get a break!"
With the fuse once lit, the firecrackers kept popping around the cowering Longsters. Three men committed suicide; more than 200 faced federal and state indictments. It had been a great spree, but thanks to the battling Picayune papers, it was all over.
They're in the great American tradition, the dignified old Times-Picayune and the rip-oaring, rough-and-tumble New Orleans States. They have a line behind them that reaches back to Ben Franklin and Sam Adams and Tou Paine.
When Jim Crown strides around his office, dictating editorials at the top of his leather lungs, Greeley and Dana keep step with him. Pulitzer and
Nast pound him on the back. And through him William Lloyd Garrison speaks again: "I am in earnest. I will not equivocate; I will not excuse; I will not retreat a single inch; and I will be heard!"
> Courage is probably, next to truth, the greatest quality that a newspaper can have. For the world abounds in forces, actions, events, and people before which neither man, nor newspaper, nor the Newsmagazine, can be coldly objective. Silence, indifference, genteel or amiable omissions are not true impartiality—they are just what the forces of corruption or stupidity want, the broth in which they thrive.
But over and above this is the sense of heightened responsibility that characterizes these times, as it has other periods of crisis. These days are big with destiny for our country and the world. And the Newsmagazine in this era has a deep and pe-
TIME has never believed that icy indifference or "pure objectivity" is either possible or desirable in news reporting. Any colorful, humanized story contains something of the mental attitudes and judgments of the men who wrote and edited it.
cular responsibility. It is, in a sense, the national newspaper; it has the same obligation to all the people of the U.S. that the best dailies feel toward the people of their cities. That obligation means more than finding and condemning the things that are wrong. It also means finding and supporting the things that are right.
It's not so easy as it sounds.
The world of right and wrong dresses in shades of gray. The pepper-and-salt of ordinary human nature... the protective coloration of the rascal... the unprepossessing garments that can hide a clean white motive.
Studying that gray crowd-picture, penetrating its disguises, throwing a searchlight here and an X-ray there, is part of TIME's job. TIME queries its reporters and correspondents again and again: "What's behind this? Who's behind it? Give us the background." TIME listens to people—all kinds of people, with all kinds of causes and crusades—balances their ideas against events, against knowledge, horse sense, and plain old American morals.
And sometimes when every possible scrap of fact, every line of expert and inexpert opinion is on the table, TIME editors still miss the last train home, trying to decide what's right, who's right, and how to let the people know it.
Judgments arrived at this way are not infallible, for nothing human is. But they are genuinely responsible. Essential to people who share TIME's attitudes—stimulating to people who don't. And backed by the courage of conviction.
This is one of a series of advertisements in which the Editors of TIME hope to give all the readers of this newspaper a clearer picture of the world of news-gathering, news-writing, and news-reading—and the part TIME plays in helping you to grasp, measure, and use the history of your lifetime as you live the story of your life.

Nab Student For Music Store Theft
Reuben Henry Brown, Jr., c-42, house man at Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, was arrested at 5 p.m. yesterday and charged with the theft of instruments valued at $468.50 from the Holyfield Music store, Feb. 19.
The 21-year-old Kansas City, Mo., youth was arraigned this afternoon in the justice of the peace court of Robert Oyler. At the time of Brown's arrest yesterday, police found two of the stolen instruments in his room in the base-struments in his room In the basement of the sorority house at Gower place.
Brown's arrest last night was said to clear up the two week old burglary of the Lawrence music store. Douglas county sheriff's men and the city police with the cooperation of the detective division of the Kansas City police department have been checking Kansas City pawn shops since the theft and picked up seven of the stolen instruments. With the two instruments found in Brown's room and the seven recovered from Kansas City pawn shops, all of the stolen merchandise has been accounted for.
Brown, police said, admitted having pawned the rest of the instruments but declared that he had purchased the nine instruments from an orchestra leader for $10. Police said that they had found the instruments at seven different shops in Kansas City.
Brown's arrest followed the sale of one of the instruments Saturday morning when he identified himself by showing his driver's license to the pawnbroker.
Local Engineers Take Top Honors

Battle Title
About 9:30 tonight Kansas will have won its seventh undisputed Big Six Championship in 12 years or the conference standings will be in a terrible mess.
The Jayhawkers met Oklahoma in Norman to see whether they get the loop title disputed or undisputed.
If the Sooners go down before Dr. F. C. Allen's team, the Jayhawkers will wind up in first place with nine victories against one loss. But if Oklahoma wins, Kansas must move over on the top perch and make room for the Sooners and Missouri as well.
There is already a three-way tie for last place as Iowa State, Nebraska, and Kansas State finished with two and eight.
Miller Will Not Start
Kansas gave the Sooners a 46 to 20 thumping here last January in the opening game of the Big Six race and now must defeat this revenge-bent pack of cagers on their own planks in order to get the flag with no strings attached.
Each team will have one new face in its starting lineup. Doctor Allen

CARL
Belief that there is slight danger of Sweden's being swallowed up by any foreign power was expressed by Wilfrid L. Husband, student of world affairs and alumnus of the University, during his lecture appearance last night in Hoch auditorium.
Speaking on the question, "Can Sweden Stay Out?", Husband told a fair-sized crowd that Hitler will never permit Stalin to occupy Sweden because this move would put Russia in a position to attack Germany by air.
'Sweden Not In Danger,' Says Husband
Even if Hitler would stand by and allow Russia to invade Sweden, the attempt would probably result in failure, the speaker said.
"Finland has already demonstrated what a tiny nation, fighting for a just cause can do against Russia. Sweden is twice as large and has twice as many resources as Finland. Moreover, Sweden has now available an

A New Alma Mater Waring Will Broadcast University Song May 3
A new University song, written by Fred Waring, will make its debut on that band leader's radio program May 3. Bill Hogle, b'41, said last night after a telegram from Mr. Waring.
The song is a result of Hogle's two weeks self-undertaken efforts to obtain the signatures of students on a petition requesting the band man to write a new college歌. Hogle's special delivery airmail letter, containing the signatures of over 1200 students, was mailed Tuesday evening and got lightning results in the form of a tele- The telegram reads as follows: gram at 6 o'clock last night.

Junior Prom Is Tomorrow; 5 Ducats Left
Financial success for the Junior Prom was assured with the sale of all but five or six of the 650 tickets for the dance by noon today. The final success of the party, and of coming parties, remains with Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra who are furnishing the rhythmic racket tomorrow night.
The Prom is the first of the University class parties that have come out on top since Kay Kyser's band drew 750 couples and 1,000 spectators to Hoch auditorium last May 16.
No Corsages
Pan-Hellenic rules regarding corsages will remain in force tomorrow night, Dan Rhule, ed'40, president of the organization, said today. The rules discourage "corsaging" by finding the fraternity whose members buy floral decorations for their dates.
In an effort to make the limitation University-wide the MSC extended it to independent men last year, and although it has not been taken up by this year's council it is presumed that the independents will consider the tradition still in force. C. H. Mullen, l'42, MSC prexy, said this afternoon.
Curfew At 12
The party is being held from 8 to 12 so as to coincide with University rulings concerning Sunday dancing. The few tickets that are left will be sold to first comers at the University business office, the Memorial Union lounge, and Bell's Music store.
Several tickets had been returned by students who were unable to attend the party because of unforeseen circumstances, Charles McCreight, of the University business office said this noon.
Aggies Put O.K. On Peace Move
Russell Leeper, president of the student council at Kansas State College, in a letter to C. H. Mullen, M.S.C. president, today approved of Mullen's plan to revise the existing treaty between the two schools concerning pre-game activities, to include post-game feuding.
The local student council will meet in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building at 8:15 Monday night. At that time it is possible that a delegation of four or five members of the council will be appointed to make the trip to Manhattan to form the new agreement. Mullen said. In his communication today Leeper asked that the meeting be held there. The first

Prom Heads Social Schedule
Prom Creates Formal Dress Problems
The next most important thing besides a date and tickets to a co-ed with Junior-Promambitions is an evening dress for the biggest class dance of the year.
The Prom, coming too late for velvets and too early for summer organdies, is at an ideal time for frocks made of rayon silk jersey. This fabric, which made its bow several years ago, is still a top ranking favorite for evening dresses. Many are made with full skirts, snugly fitted to waists with elastic shirring, and topped with hoods that protect coiffures from the wind in the treck from the car to the ballroom.
Stripes and Checks Popular
Stripes and checks, so good this spring in daytime clothes, make their appearance in stiff taffeta and rayon jersey. Go fresh and innocent looking in a baby ruffled net bodice and a whispering skirt of checked rayon taffetta with a high binding girdle.
If you fancy yourself as the angel type try marquisette or net with a diaphanous skirt, short puffed sleeves and all the feminine trimmings of lace, ribbons, and ruching. Some nets and marquisettes with skirts as full as ballet dancers', feature shadowy inserts of black Chantilly lace or whole jackets and bodices of the filmy stuff in contrasting colors.
Turbans for Sophisticated
If you are as sophisticated as Hedy Lamar, wear a twisted turban to match a bolero of rayon jersey or create an air of mystery with a hood. You are the type to wear bright striking color combinations and the extreme styles that would make most co-eds look as if they dressed for the part of a woman of the world in a high school play.
Whatever your type, don't forget that any woman can look glamorous at night if she is wearing the right evening dress.

Five Types of Students Antagonize Hill Waiters
Working in the various combination beanie-jelly joints on the Hill is one of the most popular of the part-time jobs for men students. Each of the Hill places employs from eight to 20 college men for jobs varying from dishwashing to dishiering, depending upon ability and priority. The majority are waiters and often work four hours a day for their board and cash for overtime.
They like their jobs! They prefer them to other types of work which would pay more for less time. When questioned about the advantages and disadvantages of serving meals and toting cokes most of the men answer that they like to meet people and in the Hill hangouts they do meet people, hear the latest news, slang phrases, and jokes.
Several of the waiters say that they get around better, because of the contacts made while working, than they would if they were nonworking students. Those few who feel that their jobs are a disadvantage to them say it isn't the kind of work but just the necessity to work and the time their job subracts from study hours and social activities that makes the job a disadvantage. Practically none of them try to carry a full schedule of class work but many are active in Hill politics and organizations. Although the majority of the group is independent, at least a fourth are fraternity men.
During slack hours Hill waiters can stand almost anything but during rush hours five types of students arouse the animosity of the best of the "what will you have" even. They are: 1) The substituters matter what is on the regular table they want something substituted for something a little different. 2) The "what would you suggest" type which can't make up its mind even if the waiter does make a suggestion. 3) The booth monopolizers. They come in for a coke in the middle of the morning and sit on through the noon rush over the same coke glasses. 4) The messers. They tear up everything in sight whether it be bread or napkins and delight in loosening the tops of salt shakers and putting
12 Enrollments Are Cancelled

Kansas Track Hopes Low
Missouri Doped To Repeat 1939 Indoor Victory
They say there's a limit to everything, but that was before the day of Bill Hargiss and his 1940 track team. Scuttled by injuries and ineligibility, the Jayhawker cinder squad goes into the Big Six indoor meet tomorrow night with fifth place as a possibility and sixth place as a probability.
The conference will be baptizing Kansas City's Municipal auditorium as the midwest's premier track and field palestra and Kansas will participate in the ceremonies only by virtue of their entries in each event.
Missouri Has Edge
Missouri's well-balanced team, with certain point-winners in almost every event, is favored to capture its second straight indoor championship in a close battle with Nebraska. Paced by two former high school sensations—Bill Lyda and Orv Matthews, the Oklahoma Sooners are picked for third place and Kansas State should be a poor fourth.
It will be little more than just a trip to Kansas City for the Jayhawks, and perhaps not even that for Coach Hargiss. In early-season reckonings, Kansas presented a noteworthy first place threat and appeared to have cinched at least third spot. But the scholastic purge and repeated raids by the medical corps reduced the Jayhawk strength to a sub-Polish stiff upper lip.
Even Coach a Victim
Most recent victims were Ray Harris, conference outdoor champion at two miles, and Hargiss. Harris was counted on for two second places at the minimum—a second to Missouri's John Munski in the mile and in the two mile. Coach Hargiss, fighting off a ripping offensive of influenza, may not be able to attend the meet.
Among countless other trackmen who fell before the jinx was Bob Stoland, defending titleholder in the

Corbin Routs T.N.T. Sextet To Cop Title
By Cecil King, c'41
By Cecil King, c'41 Corbin blew up the intramural title hopes of T.N.T. last night by exploding offensive dynamite to sweep to a 37 to 19 victory in the championship game of the women's basketball tournament.
Leading the challengers for the crown is Bill Smutz, Nebraska's sensational sophomore hurdler. After opening the season with a :07.7 flight of hurdles against Kansas, the Huskers' crack sophomore bore down in the dual meet with Kansas State. He raced over the barriers that night in the sizzling time of :07.5, a tenth of a second faster than the Big Six record.
Led by Lenora Grizzell and Mildred Wells, sharpshooting forwards who made 13 and 19 points respectively, Corbin went into an early lead and never was seriously threatened.
Although Marjorie Henry and Alta Bingham, Corbin guards, were outstanding performers, Dorothy Smith hit the basket consistently for T.N.T., amassing 15 of her team's 19 points. She was the lone scorer for T.N.T. during the first half.
White, Smutz,and Morris Favored in High Hurdles
Even if Smith had received offensive support from her teammates, Corbin would not have been hard-pressed.
(This is the last of a series of articles dealing with prospects in the various events at the Big Six indoor track meet tomorrow night in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.)
A photo-finish in the 60 yard high hurdles at the Big Six indoor track meet in Kansas City tomorrow night will be no surprise in view of the form the timber-toppers have been displaying this winter.
Jack Morris of Oklahoma, defending champion in the high barriers, equalled the conference record of 07.6 at the indoor meet last winter. This year he has looked even better, but he will have to outdo himself to retain his title.
A Nebrsakan Favored
Already this winter White has marked up a time of 07.6 in the high hurdles and there is little doubt that the Tiger senior's final indoor campaign will be his best one.
Joint favorite with Morris and Smutz is John White of Missouri, a veteran timber-topper. White ran third in the highs at the indoor meet last winter and then moved up to second spot in his event at the Big Six outdoor meet.
Two Tiger Threats
In addition to White, Missouri has another hope in the hurdles in sophomore Jimmy Johnson. In winning the highs in the Tiger varsity-freshman meet earlier this season, Johnson was clocked in a good time of .07.7.
Battling for points in the hurdles for Kansas State will be Darold Dodge, red headed Wildcat junior. Dodge made his best showing this winter against Kansas, winning the highs in .07.8.
The outcome of the high hurdles will have a direct bearing on the result of the meet, as the three favorites in this race represent the three schools expected to fight it out for the championship.

Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium, scene of the Big Six indoor track meet tomorrow night, is going to be a busy place the next week or so.
After tomorrow's six ply powwow, they'll just have time to rake the pits and sweep the splinters off the track for Monday night's Missouri Valley A.A.U. invitational affair in which Glenn Cunningham will race Finland's newest contribution to the mathathon world, Taisto Maki, in the two mile.
Also getting underway in the "garden" Monday will be the National Intercollegiate basketball tournament which lasts until Saturday night. This affair is not to be confused with the N.C. A.A. meet which comes to K.C. later in the month. The intercollegiate is for the smaller colleges which do not observe the freshman rule.
When the full bracket is drawn up 32 teams from all over the United States will be battling for the crown won last year by Lloyd Tucker and his Southwestern College mates. Kansas teams in the running this year will be Southwestern again and Pittsburg Teachers, two of the trichampions of the Central conference, and Ottawa U. of the Kansas conference.
March 21 and 22 the four western semi-finalists in the N.C.A.A. will compete in the auditorium to see which one represents this side of "old muddy" when the East meets the West in the same arena, March 30 for the national crown.
Not in the sports palestra, but in one of the city's hotels at the same time will be the three-day basketball rules meeting in which the leading coaches of the nation cuss and discuss the present laws of the game.

Table Tennis Team to Meet Topeka Four
The four-man table tennis team will meet a team from the Topeka Table Tennis association in matches at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Four singles and one double matches have been scheduled, Winford Ferry, c'40, manager of the Kansas team, said today. Members of the Mt. Oread squad will be Warren Shupe, Perry Peterson, Malcolm Black and Don Estes. Shupe and Peterson will form the Jayhawk doubles combination.
Ferry said the Topeka aggregation also has a woman player who makes trips with them and that probably a University woman would be selected as her opponent. He said that Doris Johnson, the Theta who won the University women's table tennis tourney, would get first chance to compete in the special match. However, any of three other K.U. semifinalists can challenge Johnson to a playoff to determine the Mt. Oread entrant, he added.
The Kansas team will play a return match in Topeka on April 12. Other matches have been sought with Kansas State, Missouri University and Kansas State, Missouri University and Kansas City University.
Kansas City YWCA Wins Archery Match
The Kansas City Y.M.C.A. outscored the high point shooters from the University women's intramural fall archery tournament, 733 to 602, in an invitational match in Kansas City Wednesday.
The eight ends of the tournament were shot from a distance of 20 yards. Individual scores of the Mt. Oread 'representatives were: Lucile York, 158 points; Martha Browning, 102; Betty Lou Current, 185; and Sue Haskins, 157.

As it is, the crippled Jayhawks must be favored by several miraculous upsets or Iowa State will sneak through in fifth place.
Heading the Missouri team that boasts impressive all-around strength are Munski, a certain 10 point winner, Sol Schumitzky and Marshall Reeves. All three are defending champions—among the five in the whole conference who will be out to repeat victories in 1939. Schumitzky won the broad jump last year as a sophomore. Reeves will defend his crown in the 880 yard run.
Kansas State's only probable first place lies in the ailing wrist of Elmer Hackney, record-shattering shot putter and a Big Six champion in 1939. Jack Morris, crack Oklahoma hurdler, is the fifth defending champion.
Second only to Missouri in potential point winners, Nebraska will send a squad well-sprinkled with stars and the important boys who place and show. The sophomore speedster, Gene Littler, will be the principal Cornhusker scorer. He will be ably supported by Ed Wibels, weight star, and Bill Smutz, hurdler.
Cue Team Enters Final Playoffs
Five tentative members of the University three-cushion billiard team have been selected on the basis of tryouts last night and today. The five high men, along with three "alternates," will complete in the final elimination tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 in the Memorial Union recreation room.
The tentative team members and alternates: Earl Kinney, who led entrants in the playoffs with a score of 25; Al Brache, 13; Jack Tompkins, 13; Harold Gregg, 10; Harry Hill, 9; and Mossis Keyser, Lloyd Greene, and Chapman Tracy. Tracy and Greene have not yet shot their elimination rounds.

MELTZMAN'S NEW FASHION
ARROW CLASSICS
Gordon Dover
1. The authentic Gordon Dover oxford shirt ranks first with undergraduates because of the distinctive button-down roll collar that curves away from the tie-knot. (Dubbed 'semester shirt' because of its longevity).
2. The Sussex, a new Arrow shirt for fall, has a low drape — moderately wide-spread collar. Currently favored in England, the Arrow Sussex is destined to be a campus 'must.' Very smart and flattering.
Sussex
3. For fall tab shirts should comprise $ \frac{1}{4} $ of your wardrobe. The uppish appearance add dignity and poise. The Windsor tab collar has square cut points with a higher band around the neck. A prerequisite for those men with a propensity for long necks.

He Missed the Point
Not having been to Washington lately, I cannot say whether it, or Roosevelt either, is "dizzy from Lewis' tornado walkout on the New Deal." But I suspect that if it is dizzy, it from something more significant than the Lewis walkout. "Lewis is another Napoleon in exile." If I understand the Kansan's editorial writer, Lewis is just a frustrated, would-be dictator.
To the Editor:
Some wise guy once said that we can discover a man's virtues by looking at his enemies. Let's look at Lewis, whom the Kansan, either because of near-sightedness or wishful thinking, mistakenly identifies as the CIO. The CIO is an organization of some two million workers with minds of their own. It is doubtful that they can be turned away from a true leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, by a hot-headed radical who has gained ever so many friends by calling the vice-president of the United States a "labor-baiting, whisky-drinking, poker-playing, evil old man."
"Any other candidate but Roosevelt will be to the right of the New Deal." If Roosevelt picks that candidate—how so? And as for the little chasm that might grow into a canyon, I say that it is better for the party that it does. Let Lewis go sit on the side lines with Al Smith, John J. Raskob, Wm. Randolph Hearst, Herbert Hoover, and a host of others who quit when they found out that the Democratic party is too great to be dominated by anybody or anything.
JERRY RISELY.

The Roosevelt Cycle
To the Editor:
The silence of President Roosevelt over the third term issue that has bothered Democratic hopefuls and Republican leaders alike, calls to mind another case of political upheaval, another third term controversy, and another Roosevelt.
Just 29 years ago, another political row was in the brewing, caused by another Roosevelt's silence. Throughout the year 1911, he traveled on a speech-making tour of the east and middlewest. The best of this country's politicians tried to sound him out, but the best they received was a broad, flashing smile.
Then one afternoon in January, 1912, there came from the offices of the "Outlook" magazine, the announcement that T. R. would run if there was a demand. The nation's seven progressive governors were kind enough to supply the demand by signing their names to a letter which was composed in the "Outlook" office. The first Roosevelt was off on his ill-fated third term attempt.
So, while the present Roosevelt cruises about the Gulf of Mexico giving nothing more than a broad smile as an answer to questions about the third term, one remembers Teddy's silence. Will history repeat itself, or do Roosevelts have good memories?

She Slams Faculty
To the Editor:
I came up to this University to get educated. Since my very young days when I was running around in rompers I had always believed that anyone who went to the University of Kansas and received a diploma was someone special. I also believed that when a young man secured a teaching position at KU he had just about reached the height of success.
Now that I'm actually here I'm sorry to say I doubt more and more my former beliefs. Why, I've one teacher who honestly can't give one statement of fact without saying, "Just why that is I don't know, but it's just one of those things." Or he tells you that even if you aren't in his lecture class he holds you responsible for what he says in it when you take his lab tests. What he really means is that he therefore expects us
to "regurgitate" when he gives his tests.
Another of my teachers can't keep even one thought in mind long enough to get it across to the class. Before he gets half through some of them he even begins to doubt himself and decides it isn't worth talking about after all.
JOSEPHINE DOAKES.

Perhaps the reason we had so many people flunk out last semester is as much the teachers' fault as the students'. Anyway, it isn't right to come to a University and get teachers, some of whom should be in high schools, or maybe digging ditches.
Calls Stalin Murderer
To the Editor:
Incompetent leadership and chaotic political conditions are behind the Russian military machine. For months Finland, a country with a population of 4,000,-000 has checkmated the armies of Russia, a country with a population of 170,000,000.
Russia could never take the offensive against a major power. Seventy-five out of 80 members of the Superior War Council have disappeared; nine-tenths of the political commissars of the army have been removed; 147 officers have been executed by Mr. Joseph Stalin, Russia's ruthless dictator. Of those leaders left, only 15 per cent of the colonels have passed through military school. In the Soviet air force, two commissars, the chief of the air force general staff, three chiefs of the aerial forces, and the commander of the Moscow airdrome have been executed.
The peasants and small employee classes who make up the majority of the Russian army hate and fear Stalin. The Soviet leaders in turn mistrust the army, and have re-established complete Communist party control alongside the direct line of army command.
When spring thaws the snow in Finland, thousands of frozen Russians will be revealed. The agonized expressions and distorted bodies will tell their own story—that of needless murder of men and boys who met death in a war they had no desire to create.

More Truth Than Poetry--- Larder Beetle Cleans Dyche's 15,000 Skeletons
"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas and so on ad infinitum."
This little verse, although ridiculous, contains more truth than poetry. Just examine in the Dyche museum the 15,000 skeletons that have had the flesh eaten away by the pestilent larder beetle.
These tiny meat scavengers, unwelcome guests in almost every biological laboratory, are of great benefit to the curators of our University museums, mainly to those in Dyche museum.
According to C. D. Bunker, asst. curator at Dyche, the process of utilizing the larder beetle, scientifically known as the Dermestes lardarius, originated at the University slightly more than 15 years ago. "We used the tiny beetles on birds, animals, mammals, reptiles, and amphibia, from the smallest to the largest. They always do the job well," he assured.
After the hide is severed from the animal's body, the carcass is left to dry. The fuzzy, black female beetles, approximately 6 millimeters in length, are planted on the dry flesh in a dark room. They lay hundreds of eggs, which hatch in a short time into minute larvae.
"They are clean and leave no trace of odor," Bunker explained. The young parasites then feast on the animal, devouring the meat. The more meat, the faster they eat and the quicker they grow into the adult stage.
When they finally attain the form of a full-grown beetle, the females of the new generation lay more eggs. Thus the life cycle continues—the eggs hatch into the young larvae, and so on "ad infinitum," until the flesh is completely cleaned from the animal. Nothing is left except the skeleton.
Curiously enough the bones occupy very little space. The remains of an ordinary frog, salamander, or toad could be put in a box measuring $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches and still have plenty of room to spare. The bones of a common fox could fit neatly into a box measuring $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Most of the collection at the Dyche museum is native to North America, although there are many foreign species.
The time required to liberate the meat from the carcass varies according to the kind and size of the victim, the amount of flesh, the condition of the weather, and the number of beetles used. For small animals and reptiles only a few days are suffice. But for mammals as large as an elephant, an entire season is necessary.
The process is usually begun in the fall of the year. The corpse is placed in the basement, where no observation is made of it until the following spring. By this time it is cleaned perfectly. The skeleton is brushed off and carried upstairs. It is stored away according to the order, family, sub-family, and sub-order for the use of students and general public.

An example of how a little incident can make a person famous: When Hill's column got lost in transit yesterday the huge hole in page seven was filled by the wit of George, the office mouse. Today, the Kansan office was deluged with mail asking that George be allowed to continue the column.
★
Something else the Kansan got this morning was a six-page column in longhand, some of which reads as follows:
"This is March. Spring is scheduled to be on the way. And yet lawns look very depleted of greenery. We may find color now in the distance of the landscape and in the tree tops that are taking on a purplish hue."
(Editor's note—the column has been identified as Shin copy which was lost several days ago.)
"One sees girls as well as boys smoke nowadays. Their spare money has gone from silk hose and hair pins into a cigaret fund."

Two boys went to the hospital. One was ill and one was well. Into bed was put the well one. Back home was sent the ill one. The ill one is still trying to see the well one who is still in, but wants out. Now let's see. What was that simile about "mixed up like a dog's breakfast?"
A well-meaning Reporting I student turned in a story yesterday whose lead ran something like this:"Rolla Nuckles announced today that he will direct the W.S.G.A. comedy."
Naturally, with the women's election coming up as well as "Swing n Sing" we checked back to find which the story referred to. To our relief, the musical comedy was the subject in question, leaving the election still under the direction of Harry Hill.
We thought it slightly amusing that a devout Episcopalian dotted upon a dog that wouldn't eat pork until we found that such food is excluded from all good canine diets.
Many women, particularly the independents, believe they have to pay dues to an organization to vote in the elections. Stuff and nonsense! Prove you're a woman and you can vote against any enemy you choose.
Frankly, we find the women's politics far more intriguing than the men's—not to mention the subtlety. And the teal! A delightful affair where lemon is served, perhaps in contrast to a seraphic atmosphere of sweet accord between the combines. A benefit performance for Miss Meguiar. Ladies, don't miss a single act.

And last week one of Ada Lee Fuller's admirers called the Gamma Phi house, was rebuffed when he tried to get adate. Lifting up the receiver a minute later to try elsewhere he heard that self-same voice of Miss Fuller asking for "1700, please." A quick flip through the directory assured the chagrined one that 1700 belongs to the Kappa Sig house.
For instance: One of the society reporters called the Chi Omega house through the University exchange. Instead of the usual feminine, "Chi Omega", answer she heard a masculine, "Animal House." That was probably a mix-up.
The Delta Chi's and the Sig Alph Dalmation are worried lest the Delta Chi pup "Pepper" is seriously ill. Pepper is confined at the veterinary hospital on Vermont with tonsilitis.
Some of the local correspondents are thinking of taking Texas A. & M.'s course in egg sorting after the hen fruit they've laid on this John Brown Brigade hoax.
This Brigade business has brought our perennial alarmist back to the campus, hot on the trail of some more "evidence." For his information he can catch the whole convincing bunch at meeting under wraps in the abandoned heating tunnel which once served old Snow Hall at midnight.
Signals for the Brigade intramura baseball team will be rehearsed.

Aggies---
(Continued from page one) treaty which is now in existence and covers only pre-game activities, was drawn up in Lawrence several years ago.
The letter came in answer to Mullen's letter written last Monday in an appeal for better relationship between the two schools. So bitter were the actions of the two student bodies following the annual game here this fall, that relationships between the two are now at a strained point.
Said Leeper, "We feel that we are obligated to your group and wish to extend a cordial invitation to representatives of your council to be our guests here at a joint banquet in the near future hoping such will become an annual affair. If this meets with your approval we shall appreciate a few possible dates that will be convenient on your part and we will immediately plan to make your visit in Manhattan a pleasant one."
Sweden----

"Lastly, Sweden will not be attacked at the present because she has developed a strong internal democracy, and if it were not internal breakdown in some of the major countries of the world, war would not be glaring at us now."
Slides and motion pictures in color, taken by the lecturer on two trips to Sweden, served as a background for his discussion of provincial customs, industries, consumer-cooperatives, culture, and education.
Statistics which were presented by Mr. Husband demonstrate Sweden's success in curbing unemployment and building up the educational facilities of the country.
Zefore the outbreak of the Second World War, only one fourth of one percent of Sweden's total population was unemployed, and, now, no one is out of work. The army of jobless workers in the United States totals 10 million, or nearly eight percent of our entire population.
Reasons behind the reduction of unemployment in Sweden are the highly efficient unemployment agencies, initiated by trade unions as far back as 1860, and the competition furnished private industries by state ownership of communications, transportation, and public works.
In Sweden, adult, rather than child education is given special emphasis. For people who are past school age, more than 11,000 study circles have been established by trade unions and cooperatives. Showing the Swede's realistic approach to problems of government are the most popular subjects discussed in the study circles. First is local government, followed by democracy, economic, and parliamentary procedure.

Jayhawkers Draw a Bye In Playoff
Kansas drew a bye in Kansas City yesterday morning for the Big Six playoff tournament which will be held in Wichita Monday and Tuesday. Kansas' loss to Oklahoma Friday night left the conference in a three way tie between Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma and the playoffs are necessary to determine the Big Six representative in the N.C.A.A. eliminations
Missouri and Oklahoma will play in the Forum in Wichita at 8:30 Monday night. The winner of this game will meet the Jayhawkers Tuesday night in the same place. Officials for Monday's game are M. G. Volz, Lincoln; and G. W. Duval, Jr., Kansas City, Mo. The American Legion is sponsoring the play-off tournament.
Winner of this series will represent the Big Six against Oklahoma A. and M., Missouri Valley champion, in Oklahoma City on March 16. The victor at Oklahoma City will come to Kansas City to represent the fifth district in the N.C.A.A. semifinals March 22 and 23.
Reuben Henry Brown, c'42, 21-year-old Kansas City, Mo., Negro youth who faces charges of burglary in connection with the theft of instruments valued at $468.50 from the Holyfield Music store, was released from the Douglas county iail yesterday on bond.
Brown Released On $1,000 Bond
The $1,000 bond was signed by his father of Kansas City, Mo., and H. W. Stone. A preliminary hearing for the youth is set for March 20 at 10 a.m. in Justice of the Peace Robert Oyler's office.
Brown was arrested March 7 and was charged with the Holyfield burglary at an arraignment in Oyler's office Friday afternoon. At the time of the arrest, officers found two of the instruments from the music store in Brown's room in the basement of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house, Gower place. Brown was employed as houseman at the sorority.
Hospital Gets Five Appendectomies In Three Days
Virginia Ruse, c'41, who underwent an appendectomy yesterday afternoon at Watkins Memorial hospital brought the total of such operations up to five for the past three days.
Milton C. Jaegli, c'43, and Virgil Courtright, b'40, started things off when they were operated on last Thursday. Hazel Scheer, fa'uncl., followed them to the operating room Friday night, and Arlene Auchard, c'43, was operated on yesterday morning.
All patients are doing well. Dr. R.I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said.
M.S.C. to Modify Smoking Bill Tomorrow Night
Action on the proposed bill to modify penalties for violation of the Anti-Smoking bill will be taken at a meeting of the M.S.C. in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building at 8:15 tomorrow night, C. H. Mullen, c'40, president, stated yesterday.
The new bill, proposed by Jim Postma, 1'41, would fine first offenders from $2 to $5, second offenders $5 to $10, and for a third offense the student would be suspended from school for a semester. Dissatisfaction resulting from judgment meted out to three students who recently violated the law led to a proposal that the penalties be modified and permanently drawn up by the Council.
It has been indicated that the new bill, if adopted, would be as effective as one providing for more serious punishment. Since the trial of the first three violators, when a severe sentence was imposed and suspended, there have been no known violations of the law.
The Council also will act on the peace treaty with Kansas State which is designed to terminate hostile outbreaks between the student bodies of the respective schools following football games, Mullen said. A previous treaty of this type pertains only to pre-game activities, while the new one, as revised by Mullen, concerns post-game occurrences as well. Both schools, having agreed to the revision, the Council will decide upon a plan to send four or five delegates to Manhattan to draw up the agreement.
Band Program Has Number For Everyone
Popular songs, hymns, symphonies, and light classical compositions are included in the program for the thirty-third annual Spring concert of the University of Kansas Band which will be presented at 8:15 tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
The band will play 12 numbers in all, and there will be music for every listener, whether his interests run to such classical numbers as Jean Sibelius" Finlandia", or whether he prefers such popular songs as the recent Victor Herbert hit "Indian Summer."
As curtain-raiser for the program, Director Russell L. Wiley has selected Haydn Wood's "Manx Overture" which contains folk tunes from the Isle of Man.
Next will come two of the high spots of the evening when Lorenzo Fuller, fa'40, and Eugene Crabb, fa'41, present solos with band accompaniment. Fuller will sing the Ferde Grofe arrangement of "Old Man River" from Jerome Kern's musical comedy, "Show Boat", and Crabb will play a cornet solo of Schubert's "Ave Maria."
Two student directors, Jack Dalby, fa'40, and Curtis Johnson, fa'40, will lead the band in "Vistas" (Gillette), and "Indian Summer" (Herbert) respectively.
Symphony numbers on the program will include "Roumanian Rhap-sody No. 1" (Enesco), "Finlandia" (Sibelius), "Symphony in C Minor,

Huskers Capture Big Six Indoor With 35 $ \frac{1}{5} $ Points
By Harry Hill, c'40
Kansas City, March 9—(Special to the Kansan)—The Nebraska Cornhuskers, paced by carrot-topped "Red" Littler who won firsts in both the 60-yard dash and the quarter mile, won the Big Six indoor track meet here tonight as the conference made its debut in the Municipal auditorium's newly constructed track. Three thousand fans were on hand to see the Huskers nose out the favored Missouri team by less than three points.
Nebraska tallied 35 1-5 points, Missouri 32 1-2, Iowa State 20 1-5, Kansas State 19 1-2, Oklahoma, 14 1-2, and Kansas. 10 2-5

Gordon Brigham, c'40; Jim Hart '', c'40; Jim Meredith, c'41; Larry david, fa'40; Shirley Ruble, c'41; and Gerald Smith, ed'41.

60-yard dash—Won by Littler, Nebraska; second, Matthews, Oklahoma; third, Akers, K-State; fourth, Mathes, Kansas. Time, :06.3.
Oother Kansas points were picked up when Darrel Mathes placed fourth in the 60-yard dash. Bill Beven and Jack O'Hara were two of the five who tied for second in the pole vault. Thompson ran fourth in the 880, and the relay team came in fourth behind the record setting Cyclone quartet.
Important factors in Nebraska's winning over the Tigers were John Munski's failure to do better than third in the two-mile after he had won the mile in the comparatively slow time of 4:28.4, and J. R. Jones of Kansas nosing out Missouri's Schumitzky in the broad jump.
Conference officials said that two sets of records would be kept from now on, one for cinder tracks and the other for boards. All performances tonight were written in as records for board tracks.
60-yard low hurdles—Won by Smutz, Nebraska; second, White, Missouri; third, Dodge, K-State; fourth, Johnson, Missouri. Time, 07:1.
Times in the 880 and mile relay bettered the existing cinder track marks. Marshall Reeves of Missouri turned in a 1:56.9 in the half and Iowa State turned the relay in 3:28 flat. The summaries:

Big Change In 'Hair Do' Fashions
Bv Marjorie Gains. c'41
During the last few years many variations of hair "sets" have walked out of our American beauty parlors. But why not? It's terribly monotonous for a woman to look in the mirror at the same old wave or curl-day after day. And of course if a beauty operator even casually mentions how flattering a new style hair dress would be to any one woman she will immediately abolish the old style.
It is, and always will be, a woman's right to change her mind; so may she change her hair style.
Braids Popular
Remember years ago when the short, windblown bob was popular and nine out of ten women were mingling with spit curls plastered to the side of their faces? This old style presents a ghostly picture now. But consider too, even longer ago
VANESSA M. HENRY
when our mothers and grandmothers were wearing long hair and "rats" tucked in under the sides to make the hair stick out, and add to an already huge knot.
Not more than two or three years ago (and on some types of women today) braids were popular. This of course is a modification of the long hair in a fashion to have a like appearance of the short bob.
"Up Do" Out
Only a year ago you will remember the "skinned rabbit" effect accomplished 1/2 the "up do" hair style. The higher the curls were piled on top the head, the better the hair dress, and definitely more stylish.
But none of these styles lasted. None became permanent in fashion. Extreme fads seemingly have only a short duration. They are hard for a woman to comb and to keep looking nice, which means more appointments with her hair dresser and added expense.
This spring the beauty experts are predicting another hair style to be worn by outstanding women of

Eberly, Helen O'Connell Make Big Hit at Prom

1,300 students, packed like sardines in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building last night, heard and attempted to dance to the "contrasting" music of Jimmy Dorsey, and his band, and the singing of Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly, at the largest class dance since last year's Senior Cakewalk with Kay Kyser.
Everyone was in a festive mood, even the lads, who grumbled before hand about putting on evening clothes, decided that it was worth while, when Helen O'Connel, blond vocalist, appeared
on the scene and handsome Bob Eberly caused many a coed's heart to flutter when he stepped up to sing.

They Have the Hill's Newest House Theta Founded in 1881
By Helen Beth Faubion, c'43
Kappa Alpha Theta, founded at De Pauw university, was the first Greek letter sorority for women. Kappa chapter, here at Lawrence was founded March 18, 1881, only eleven years after the national founding.
The first meetings of this group dwellings. The first real Theta home was occupied in 1912. This white colonial frame dwelling was Theta's home for twenty-five years. In 1938 the building board supervised the completion of a new Theta house and in the fall of that year the chapter moved into their new home.
This new home offers adequate room for fifty women and their housemother. It is of red brick with white pillars, shutters and trimmings done in the Georgian colonial style of architecture. The library of the Theta house is dear to the hearts of the alumnae because it contains the prize pieces of furniture from the old house.
Through the efforts of four women Kappa Alpha Theta has developed into a national organization of 65 college chapters; 54 alumnae

Like Little Girl Effect
What man doesn't like long, soft,
lustrous and loosely waved or curled hair? Since dress styles have that "little girl" effect now, what better hair style could be worn?
America. We have now come back to a long bob, waved to the ends of the hair, and hanging loose below the shoulders. It's hard to imagine wearing waves again instead of frizzy curls. But, though this is a simple hair style it is also quite flattering and effective.
For your spring party this year why not have your hair waved in this new fashion? Put on your old fashion styled dress with a square or heart neckline, fluffy puffed sleeves, with yards and yards of material in the skirt, and that tiny waist line effect. Comb that "set" look out of your hair to let it fall loose and fluffy around your face and shoulders, then add a fresh ribbon bow on top or one small flower.

Big Six Stars Named
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
Rebounds grabbed on and off the court at the Oklahoma-Kansas basketball game Friday night:
Both coaches crossed up the "experts" with their starting lineups. . Bruce Drake stuck his bean pole, Hugh Ford, in at center and moved Herb Scheffler up to forward. . Dr. F. C. Allen had mentioned he would start Howard Engleman because he had looked so good in scoring 44 points against the Sooners in two games last year, but Miller and Ebling got the nod at forwards. . T. P. Hunter, who used to star in high school ball at nearby Oklahoma City, went into the milling shortly after the tipoff and played most of the game.
It was Hugh Ford, not Jimmy McNatt that beat the Jayhawkers. . . In the first half he was knocking shot after shot away from the basket with his 6 foot 6 inch frame. . . It took most of the starch out of Kansas to see shots headed straight for the nets, being batted aside. . . And thinking that wasn't enough, he tipped in three goals and swished a free throw in the opening stanza. . . McNatt got three of his buckets in the first half and four in the second. He took only 18 shots during the evening. 4
Don Ebling played one of his finest games as he scored 12 points and did his best to try to out-scat the Scats. . The Sooner coach summed up the reason for the defeat when he said "they looked tired." . . The Jayhawkers were playing their seventh game in 18 days and had but little of their usual zip. . . Allen shot 18 times to get his bucket and Ebling took 13 cracks at the hoop. . . Miller aimed only five times and one of those was a desperate tip attempt. . . Marvin Snodgrass showed why he is called the "human hand-cuff" in dogging Miller and Engleman.
RANDALL GARRETT
The crowd wasn't the least bit hostile toward "Phog" . . . Most of them had come around to seeing his way in regard to the play-off affair and had forgot about the mad they had on early in the week. . . I called Pete Lightner of the Wichita Eagle after the game and he was all hepped up about Big Six basketball coming to Wichita. . . Dennie Lemoine, one of the Hill's most ardent sports-women, made her third journey this year to the Indian Territory to follow a Jayhawker athletic team. . . Last fall Dennie came to Norman for the football game and was in Stillwater for the A. and M. basketball clash.
The Big Six is certainly a congenial lot this winter. . . Besides allowing three teams to divide first place and the other three splitting (Continued on page five)

Kansan Selects Miller, Allen On First Five
By Jay Simon (Kansan Sports Editor)
The Oklahoma ace is a firehorse at galloping up and down the court. He leads the fast breaks on the bucket and can shoot—with uncanny accuracy—going at top speed. With McNatt and Miller working together opponents would have to plug their basket to keep them from raining leather through. Pair of Stalwart Sentinels
In the back court are a pair of stalwarts who do not reach gigantic proportions, but are well above average height and would be able to control the rebounds.
All star teams seem to have been invented for the same purpose as lectures. By that I mean they are primarily used to provoke thought. You have probably already read the above table and are thoroughly provoked, so we can now begin the thinking process. I might mention, however, that I am taking a slight handicap and we will use my reasoning apparatus.
The tri-leaders of the Big Six conference grabbed all but one place on the first and second teams, the only outsider to creep in being Sid Held, Nebraska's highly efficient sophomore who stands 6 feet 4 inches. The balance wheels of four of the six teams are included on this edition of the Daily Kansan's all conference aggregation.

Two of the first stringers, Jimmy McNatt and John Lobsiger, are repeaters from last year. It will be their last chance because both are repeaters.
To me the first five constitute the dream team. McNatt and Miller are scoring wizards. They were far above the rest of the pack in this department, but their talents didn't stop them. The Kansas hoopster is one of the finest feeders to be found anywhere. In addition to the 116 points he racked up for the Jayhawkers, he was credited with many direct assists on baskets made by his mates.
John Lobsiger, the Missouri balance-wheel, is one of the finest basketball players the Big Six has ever seen. He could play right along side

In Bob Allen the team would have a performer who could tie these four individual stars together. Brilliant in all branches of play, Allen could drop back into the defensive works and more than handle his assign-
be given the captaincy of the team.
You are probably anxious to know why Held of Nebraska was placed on the first team. Most observers have overlooked him in favor of Lobsiger, Mesch, Harp, Menze, or some of the flashier boys.
The perfect team needs at least one tall man for the heavy duty chores on defense and rebounding. Of those in the conference standing 6 foot 4 or over, Held was far the most agile of the lot. He handled himself nicely and while assigned to guard the toughest opponent found time to average right at seven points a game. Held is a fine long shooter and would work nicely with Lob-siger in bringing the defense out. He can shoot over a forward's head.
Reason for Held
ment. Or he could work into the front line and pick up his share of baskets. But his biggest asset to this team would be his ball handling. There he has no peers in the league. It would take a super passer to keep the ball moving around fast enough for these four, but Bob could do it.
Perhaps I have tried to take a coach's viewpoint too much in selecting this team. It looks as though this has even been carried down to "prospects for next year." Two of the first stringers, Miller and Allem, are juniors, and Held is only a sophomore.

Two Favorites in Tourney
Henry Drills Grid Squad On Defense
Bolstering the Jayhawker defense was the chief concern of head coach Gwinn Henry as he sent his 60 gridders through stiff practice sessions during the past week. Under the watchful eyes of the three-man coaching staff the combined varity and frosh squad ran through a number of plays and learned the principles of running interference and blocking.
Actual serimmage won't begin for several days yet, because of the danger of injuries during cold weather.
Yesterday there was no practice as Henry was in Kansas City attending the Big Six track and field meet.
Last season the Kansas eleven had one of the best running attacks in the Big Six but it went to no avail because it was not matched by a strong enough defense. Late in the schedule the defense did begin to stifen and that sign of promise encouraged Henry and his assistants to believe that the Kansas team will hold its own on defense this year.
If guards made a line, the Kansas coaches would have no worries. Good guards are more than plentiful on the Jayhawk squad. Quido Massare was the best lineman on the team last year and is getting ready for his third year as a first-string guard.
Jay Kern, a sophomore, was Massare's running mate in the starting lineup the last three or four games last fall. He promises to be as fine a guard as Massare.
In addition Coach Henry has two other men of more than average ability back at guard, Herb Hartman, and Ward Crowell, both lettermen. The freshman crop likewise includes good guards.
Prize freshman addition to the spring practice squad is Tommy Robertson, big center. Robertson had the sideline fans raving over his work as a member of the yearling squail last fall.
Don Pollom, a former star at Topeka high, gives promise of developing into a fine back. Pollom, a track star, has elusiveness in addition to his natural speed. Indications are that he will be a top-flight half-back.
One of the problems of spring practice is replacing the men who finished their competition last fall, including such capable players as Milt Sullivant, Frank Bukaty, Dick Amerine, Eldreth Cadwalader, Russ Chitwood, Mike Sihlamick, Dan Rhule, John Naramore and Bill Lenhart.
Two familiar faces are missing at spring practice. Neither Bill Bunsen, fullback, nor Steve Renko, big end, is in school this semester. However, both will be back ready for action next fall.
Big Six Stars---wonderful basketball. They are planning to go into semi-pro basketball and I hope they both show me that I was wrong in edging them off the starting quintet.
(Continued from page four) and the other two as fast and elusive as any in the loop. Herb Scheffler 6-3, and Blaine Currence, 6-5, could rebound with the best of them. Not so tall, but more spring-legged is Dick Harp, Jayhawker star who did yeoman work in guarding and rebounding against taller opponents all season.
The team's speed merchants are Don Ebling and Marvin Mesch. It's a shame there is no place on the first team for them. Both are seniors and have played three seasons of

Iowa State and Kansas State did surprise things this season—the Wildcats in winning two games and the Cyclones in winning only two games—but neither has men good enough to crash the first ten. Jack Horacek, a sophomore, was a sterling player at Manhattan and should be one of the brighter stars during the next two years.
At Ames, Bob Harris and Gordon Nicholas slumped terribly. Both made some of the all-star teams last year as sophomores, but had rough going this year. Bob Menze was probably the most valuable man on the team, but his size and the fact that he was playing with a last place club handicapped his chances of hitting the select group.

Phi Gam's and A.K. Psi Team Are Picked
Bv Clint Kanaga, c'42
Alpha Kappa Psi versus Phi Gamma Delta in the finals is the prediction of this writer as to the outcome of the championship playoffs which get under way Monday. But with such teams as the Buccaneers, champion Galloping Ghosts, and the Comets in the tournament, there is a very strong possibility that neither one of the two named teams will reach the final round.
Chances in the upper bracket favor the Phi Gam's. Reasons for installing them as favorites rest upon their ability to utilize the fast break and their skill in scoring from any position on the court. No team possesses as fine a bunch of scorers as the Fijis do in McSpadden, Morris, Healy, Hambric and

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
For International Economic Plan
Two ideas of economic planning, though widely differentiated in character, are gathering support on national fronts today. One calls for an extension of Secretary Hull's program for more trade agreements with foreign countries. The other advocates such intensive internal economic planning as will make the United States a completely self-sufficient unit and allow it to turn its back on a world fraught with disorders, economic and otherwise. Then it can concentrate on a prosperous America. As well as Americans like to speculate with the latter plan, evidence weighs heavily in favor of the former as the eventual practical solution to America's problems.
Briefly, Hull's reciprocal trade program, which has now emerged as a first-rank political issue, calls for a downward revision of our tariff laws, the removal of the tangle of restrictions blocking the free flow of international trade. Since 1934 our exports to trade-agreement countries have been greatly stimulated, and import statistics of other nations show that they used more American products after 1934 than before the agreements were made. But the effect of trade agreements on our imports is not apparent from the statistics. It has been overshadowed by our purchases, from non-agreement countries, of raw materials used in the 1937 boom and the 1936 drought. The administration must admit that not much can be done with trade agreements in war times, when outthreat competition is on a world-wide basis.
Proponents of the national self-sufficiency theory declare that America would fare well in a world system of nationalistic, autocratic, self-dependent nations. This is the plan many nations are now attempting to use. The Army and Navy Munitions Boards have asserted that in the event of war and an effective blockade of foreign sources of supply, the United States would be able to survive without undue hardship. Of twenty-one strategic raw materials needed by American industry in time of war, only eleven are believed to be vital, and practically all of these could be made synthetically. If the United States can thus become almost completely self-contained in war, would it not be wiser and easier to attempt self-sufficiency in peace?
The other side of the picture is this. Self-sufficiency would mean a sacrifice of American sales in foreign markets as well as an end to American buying abroad. To adopt a "buy and sell American" policy, the United States would have to find some other use for half the acres now developed agriculturally, mechanical production would have to be curtailed by at least 10 percent, and many new industries would need to be started to manufacture goods we could buy abroad for half the price. Vast amounts of capital would lie dormant for want of profitable investment channels. Withdrawal of America from world markets as buyer would create untold havoc with business.
Thus, a national economy seems doomed in America, simply because of the jealous motives of big business. Many logical and spiritual reasons, however, exist to support a theory of "live and let live". And just as if tradeagreements were God-sent, Secretary Hull is slowly winning his fight in Congress. No one can deny that there is charity in the decision of
the United States that national interests are tied up with world interests. Likewise, while all realize that charity begins at home, few are willing to embark on a national self-sufficiency plan and forget about their "sacred cows" abroad.

Then Came the War--- Campus Custom in 1914 Frowned on Over-Gayety
By Art O'Donnel, c'41
"Throw away that stogie and let's go to class," was probably as familiar in the speech of undergraduate men of 1914 as it is today. Cigarettes were illegal in Kansas during that era, and smoking in the buildings had been banned by order of the faculty.
Smoking must have been confined to cigars and pipes. The students of that day were part of the bucket brigade when fires did break out, and to smoke where it was dangerous only made them liable for a job of bucket carrying.
Morals and bad habits have always been protected and corrected by faculty rulings. Punishment was given to the wrongdoers. Possibly petitions were circulated and cries of "We want our inalienable rights" were heard.
Although they were blushingly speechless, resentment was probably exhibited by 35 coeds in 1914 when they were tried for breaking the rule that forbid weekend dates. Engagements with men students, in that year, were confined to weekends, when couples rode the trolley up to Robinson Gymnasium for a few hours of chicken-reeling, waltzing and imbibing sarsaparilla.
It was during 1914 that the entire Men's Student Council was thrown into jail for posting dance advertisements around the campus.
Yes, morals were adequately protected back in K.U.'s younger days, when the "Hill" was still just a spot where natives of Lawrence brought visitors to show them "the purtiest view in Kansas".
ROCK CHALK TALK
By HARRY HILL
By Benny Lemons, second course
A paragraph in the Kansas State Collegeig slightly sneered at peace proposals between State and K.U. and asked if the boys on the Hill were afraid. Ignoring for the moment the simplicity of the writer, we'd like to ask him to look for a bit at the athletic situation existing between Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. Those schools "had at it" in best Kansas style for a while. Finally, the situation got so bad that the schools severed athletic relations altogether, and have never played a game since. Think it over.
★
Another aside to the K-State columnist who writes that unless a "certain 'prissy-pants' element at the University ceases to refer to this institution (K-State) as 'Silo Tech'—I'm POSITIVE such an agreement wouldn't last."
★
Take a look at the treaty we now have which abolishes pre-game inanities. Given teeth in 1936, the agreement has done a right fair job in protecting property on both campuses before the games.
Since Hill is not writing this column today it might be okay to talk about him. Handling the sport page while Open-Faced Simon is in Oklahoma, Hill went to the Union's recreation room to get a story on the three-cushion billiard team tryouts. Hill, who is as careful with the cue as the Shin is in observing accuracy, tired of watching the tryouts and seized a stick himself.
★
He made the team.
And a sequel to that: A reporter who failed to write a story announcing Allen Crafton's screen tests for the K.U. movie. When the reporter went around the next day she found Crafton in a hissy because no one showed up to take advantage of all the equipment he set up.
As a last resort Crafton made the erring reporter take the screen test herself.
★
Now she has a part in the forth-coming movie.

Finding our athletic department's financial problem too much of a problem, we'll have to hand it to athletics over at the "Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science." (Always a pacifist.) State's football team pushed the blue side of the athletic ledger up to $24,-731.72, which is about $24,731.72 more profit than the local boys made during the football season.

On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
A playlet as cavesdropped by your Shin correspondents:
Setting: Alpha Chi living room. Time: 10 o'clock Saturday evening.
Characters: Arlouine Goodjohn and Bill Lunt.
Enter Lunt, obviously worn out or something from the way he is walking. He approaches buzzer; calls Goodiohn.
Enter Goodjohn from staircase.
Lum: "Went. Are you ready?"
Goodjohn: "I wouldn't show my face with you."
Lunt: (ineffectually) "O.K."
Exit Lunt, bouncing off of the door case.
Exit Goodjohn, back to her bridge game.
Sure and it must be spring now what with the Kappa Sigs walking their dates into the field in back of their house. And of an afternoon, too.

Upon being asked where he thought the apes came from the student said, "I don't know. All I've read on evolution is Darwin."
We award this week's prize to the young man in Prof. Brown's Social Psychology class who asked, "But do you believe that evolution goes back beyond the ape?"
If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, imagine what a bomb-ll an iota like that must be.

World War Nurse To Talk on Finland
Elsa Brandstrom-Uilch, Swedenborn World War nurse, will speak at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Fraser theater on the "History and Civilization of Finland."
The lecture is one of a series over the nation sponsored by the American-Scandinavian Foundation "to give a better understanding of Finland's cause and arouse interest in that cause."
There will be no admission charge but any money which the audience may wish to donate will go to the civil, not the military, fund' to aid Finland.
The speaker was an outstanding World War nurse, known as the "Angel of Siberia" for her work among prisoners. She was awarded the medal of Serafim Order by the King of Sweden, and her portrait hangs in Town Hall in Stockholm. She holds honorary doctorates from three universities in medicine, law, and theology.
Mrs. Brandstrom-Ulich will arrive in Lawrence at 3 p.m. tomorrow and leave for Kansas City tomorrow night.

Hibbard in Washington To Compare Mammal Fossils
This Mead county bed contained the greatest variety of animals ever to be found in the Fliocene. It is the second to be uncovered east of the Rocky Mountains. The first bed found was at Blanco, Texas.
Claud Hibbard, assistant curator of the Dyche Museum, left yesterday for the National Museum at Washington D. C. to compare small mammal fossils with numerous species taken from the Pliocene bed in Mead county.
The animals taken from the Mead find in the last four summers include two species of horse, a mastodon, a camel, an antelope, a pig, one form of dog, a true cat, and a saber-toothed cat, together with many species of rodents such as 14 kinds of squirrel and mice, one mole, two shrews, and four related forms of skunk.

Engineering Exposition Next Month
More than one hundred exhibits of student work in engineering will be the features of the bi-annual Engineering Exposition to be launched April 19 and 20 by students in the School of Engineering and Architecture. The doors of Marvin hall will be open to visitors all day Friday and Saturday morning of that weekend.
A large crowd of students, prospective students, parents, and just plain taxpayers is expected at the exhibition because of the drawing program of the Kansas Relays, scheduled for the same week.
The exhibits will be shown in four buildings: chemical engineering in the west end of Bailey laboratories; petroleum and mining engineering in Haworth hall; architecture, civil engineering, department of mechanics, department of mathematics, departments of military science, and engineering drawing, in Marvin hall; electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic, in the laboratories south of Marvin hall.
One of the features of the exhibition will be the "heliodon," recently invented sun machine, designed by Professor G. M. Beal. The sun machine is used as an aid to architects in the designing of homes and hospitals. Preparation on other projects, such as scaled construction of models and actual laboratory tests, has begun in the various departments. The purpose of these models and tests is to acquaint the public with the general progress of engineering and also to exhibit the individual student work.

Plans Made for Women's Air Club
By - Laws Made Thursday
Women students who have a hankering for aviation and a desire to "air" their views on this subject will be interested in the founding of the University of Kansas unit of the Women's National Aeronautical Association.
Club membership is open to all women students who are interested in aviation. Of the 14 charter members only two, Helen Hay, and Alys
The first plans and arrangements for a women's aviation club were made earlier in the semester by Helen Hay, c'40, daughter of Prof. E.D.Hay, flight training head. The constitution and by-laws for a Kansas unit were drawn up at a meeting of the 14 charter members last Thursday evening in the Memorial Union. Two other units of the national association are located in Kansas City and Topeka.
Magill, c'umcl, are enrolled in the University flight training course. Other members either are receiving private lessons or are enrolled in the ground school course. The ground school course is part of the flight training program.
"The promotion of aviation on the Hill in order to increase the interest of women students in aviation activities" is the object of the organization according to Helen Hay. The 12 other charter members are: Nadine Bitter, c'41; Nancy Kerber, fa'42; Jane McHenry, fa'43; Viola Knoche, c'41; Beth Kirby, c'43; Lillian Fisher, c'41; Ruth Spencer, c'41; Betty Wyatt, c'42; Jeanne Leland, c'42; Barbara Daniels, c'41; Billy McIntire, c'42; Jean Hinshaw, c'42.

Nip Sting In No Smoke Penalties
By Roscoe Born, c'41
Smoke-law violation became a less serious offense last night when Men's Student Councillen unanimously approved a moderate scale of punishment for offenders.
The new law, proposed two weeks ago, instructs the Student Court to fine first offenders from 2 to $5-second offenders from $5 to $10, and to expel a third offender for the remainder of the semester.
To Meet With Aggies
In response to an invitation from student councilmen at Kansas State, M.S.C. president C. H. Mullen, '14, last night appointed four other councilmen to attend a peace banquet at Manhattan.
The banquet will probably be held March 16 or March 30, Mullen said, depending on the date most agreeable to State's council.
Ed Page, l'40, John Oakson, c'40, Russell Mosser, c'40, and Brewster Powers, e'40, were appointed by Mullen to accompany him to the peace parley.
Favor Physical Exams
Mullen said he hoped the banquet would result in a K-State truce to end brawls which seem to have become a part of the annual State football game.
The Council went on record as favoring compulsory physical examinations for all persons handling food served to University students. The resolution explained that present requirements did not include the to independent students. Such an examination would be offered free by the University Health Service and unless each boarding club filled requirements, the club would not receive University approval.
Meet Candidates Tomorrow at 3
The W.S.G.A. election tea for University women will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. tomorrow in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building.
Plans have been arranged so that each class will meet particularly the candidates for whom it is entitled to vote. The election for all University women will be held Thursday from 9 to 5 p.m. in Frank Strong hall.
The W.S.G. executive council will meet at the home of Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, advisor of women, at 7 p.m. tonight to make final election plans and arrange for the new council, to be formally installed April 2 at Evans Hearth.
Extend "Y" Election
The Y.M.C.A. election will be held again tomorrow, said John Moore, Y.M. sec'y', to accommodate those who were unable to vote today. The polls will be open from 8 to 5 p.m. in the basement of Frank Strong hall.

30 Interviewed For Freshmen Relay Posts
Treason by the weather man only spurred Russell L. Wiley and his University Band to greater efforts in Hoch auditorium last night as they presented the thirty-third annual spring concert before a crowd numbering more than 2,000.
Thirty freshmen waited their turn in Robinson gymnasium this afternoon, while Sam Sifers, senior manager of the Kansas Relays committee and E. R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education, interviewed each man individually for the purpose of finding six applicants best qualified to serve as freshmen members of the Kansas Relays committee.
By Bob Trump, c'42
The interviews began at 3:30 and lasted nearly two hours. The names of the six freshmen selected will be announced later in the week, Sifers said today. The freshmen will be chosen on their ability to do this type of work, the amount of time that they can give and their grades, which must be above average.
The names of the thirty freshmen interviewed today are: Bill Allen, Ed Palmer, Pat Nieman, Robert Bernard, Robert Knox, Chuck Elliott, Byron Kern, John Tilson, Robert Ballard, Sam Kneale, Bill Cavert, D. Chubb, Tom Lillard, Nation Meyer, Dalton Holland, Charles Elder, Gilbert Egbert, Harold McCarty, Kenneth Nicolay, Dick Cassaday, Dick Wilson, Larry McSpadden, John Merriot, Jack Wilson, Paul Brown, Hobart Potter, Fred Gades, Verlyon Norris, Carl Meyer, Jess Fauce.
Pre-Relays preparations and arrangements were begun several weeks ago by Sifers and the remainder of the committee. The two junior and three sophomore committeemen were chosen from members of last year's committee. Invitations are sent to universities, colleges, and junior colleges in all parts of the United States. Numerous Kansas high schools are invited to the inter scholastic meet, which is scheduled the day before the Relays. The relays date has been set for April 20.
Among those in the audience who braved the paradoxical weather to attend the performance were music directors and their students from

More Spring Cloths--- Spring to Offer Men A Variety of Fashions
Ry Bill Koester, c'41
Present weather conditions notwithstanding, "spring," with its lazy sunbeans, verdant countrytides, and balmy breezes, is nearly here; yes, even in Kansas. Spring clothes are here, and in the interest of the men, we'll look at some masculine sports outfits—in case the coming steak fry date might be more successful with the aid of a little sartorial attraction.
Ensembles—and if you didn't know they're going to ride the crest of popularity this spring—offer men more leeway this year than ever before for being unconventional in clothing choices. Neat numbers feature the lightweight poplin sport shirt (in colors of sunset green, tan, midnight blue, brown, and cream)
in full body designs with short or long sleeves, zipper pocket, and contrasting buttons; and the slacks (necessarily a part of the ensemble) have introduced in trouserwear the saddle-stitched seams and pocket edges formerly common only in coats. Other materials are gabardine, Palm Beach, Cavalry twill, and worsteds. Some shirts may be acquired in lighter material than the slacks, such as ponjee, without a difference in color.
For the zenith of splendor in more
complete combinations here are some good what-to-wear hints: For open-air driving a gray-and-cream plaid coat, maroon sport shirt, sunset-green light covert slacks, maroon sox and kerchief, and brown and white saddle shoes. Or for afternoon "coking" and dancing, try a light tan camel's hair jacket with chestnut brown slacks (aqua green is a nifty compliment); sox, tie, and kerchief of matching green; and a predominantly white shirt—stripes might be in green or brown. Another good blend could be achieved with an "Army pink" gabardine jacket, dark or squirrel-brown worsted slacks, pastel green shirt, and sox, tie and kerchief of aqua green. Clever variations in these combinations can be obtained with a bit of experimentation.
Hats—well, you know what class has been injected into spring models. Rustic colors in brown and green, with offshades such as light olive, turquois, and gray, are offset with dark "turban" pleated cloth bands of loud colors. Crush effects feature plain-pie and pork-pie crowns—and incidentally, the wide brims top them off smoothly.
Yes, "Spring has 'came'", to be both grammatically and pleasingly crude.
Phi Chi to Fete Fiftieth Birthday
Phi Chi medical fraternity will observe its fiftyeth anniversary Saturday with Dr. Eben J. Carey, dean of the school of medicine and head of the department of anatomy at Marquette University. Milwaukee, delivering the commemorative address at a dinner that night.
Dr. HtA' E. Marshall of Wichita will serve as toastmaster for the dinner. Chancettor Deane W. Malott also will speak. A dance will close the anniversary event.
The program will begin at 2:30 p.m. with an "open house" for alumni members and their wives at the chapter house. The dinner will be served at 6:30 o'clock in the Union building.
Moon to Direct Church Group Play

Johnston Is the New Alpha Chi President
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
In spite of the slow, dismal rain and overcast sky, sent across the Hill by inconsiderate gods today, the socially minded Jay-hawk kept his well curled tail feathers out of the dampness and quietly polished his finger nails in anticipation of the Pan-Hellenic party Friday night. Well does the wise bird know that a bid to the Pan-Hel is a chance to mingle with the Hill's select "white tie and tail" brigade.

Massachusetts, this week, presents an Easter parade ingenious, we say. So dripping of the whimsical, so paradoxical the windows, they have caught the very soul of March. But despite flights toward the different, there's a certain consistency. Everything is Easterish. Everything is natty. And, so help us, we want everything.

Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
Oklahoma's Hugh Ford looks like he's going to be as hard to stop as one of Henry's old model Ts. He bagged 19 points against Missouri last night at Wichita after getting 10 on the Jayhawks in the regular season's finale at Norman last Friday.
A great big bouquet to Don Boydston of Oklahoma A. and M.'s O'Collegian. He showed 'em that sports writers are good for something besides making bump predictions when he high jumped 6 feet 7 inches (correct) in the annual varsity-freshman meet last weekend. Don will be here to jump at the Kansas relays.
And while on the subject, I might mention that every defending champion in the field events will be on hand to defend his laurels when the relays get underway April 20. Beefus Bryan, the Texas showman, will be trying to raise the record in the pole vault for the third straight year.
Despite the fact it lost the Ark Valley title to Hutchinson, lost in the regional to Ark City, and isn't going red hot righ now, my choice to win the state high school basketball title is Winfield, the defending champion.
Having seen but one high school basketball game this year, I feel that I can choose an all-state team without the least bit of prejudice creeping into the selection. Here it is: Hall, Parsons and Mitchell, Hutchinson, forwards; Tucker, Winfield, center; and Evans, Wyandotte and Weddle, Winfield, guards.
Art Teachers Exhibit Work Of Pupils in Frank Strong
Twenty public school art teachers who were graduated from the department of design in the School of Fine Arts are now exhibiting work of their pupils in rooms 313, 314, 316, and 324 in Frank Strong hall, Miss Maud Ellsworth, instructor in the School of Education announced today. The exhibit, which is open to all interested persons may be seen this afternoon and from 9 to 5 each day this week until Friday.
Work shown represents that done by grade and high school students and consists of drawings, paintings, commercial art, and crafts. One exhibit was sent from Puerto Rico and some are from neighboring states.
Miss Ellsworth explained that the exhibit is held annually to assist teachers graduated from the department of design in their work.
All material sent to the exmion is criticized by Miss Elsworth and Miss Rosemary Ketcham, professor in the department of design, and returned to the teachers.

Beta's Give Ghosts Tussle; Phi Gam's Win
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
The championship playoffs got under way with a bang last night. All favorites came through as expected. The defending champion, Galloping Ghosts, had a tough time downing a fine Beta Theta Pi outfit, 35 to 27, after a slow first half. Phi Gamma Delta turned back Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 35 to 22, in a hard fought contest.
Phi Delta Theta fell before a "hot" Alpha Kappa Fsi, led by "Red" Thompson, with a score of 23 to 32. Rebounds proved the deciding factor in the Delta Chi's 27 to 17 victory over the Dominoes I. Stoland Paces Beta's
Paced by Bob Stoland, the Beta's moved out in front of the Ghosts at the end of the first half 17 to 14. Kelly, the Ghost's manager, switched his ace guard, Coffin, on to Stoland during the second half and the Ghosts went on to win Fournier and Shupe were outstanding offensive players for the winners while Littioy and Stoland starred for the Beta's.
Chain Healy held Bill Hall, star Sig Alph guard, to one goal as the Phi Gam's won from the Sig Alph's. The Sig Alph five led the Phi Gam's during the first quarter due to the splendid play of Dick Amerine. Amerine gathered 10 points in the first half. Hambric and Morris hit the hoop consistently in the final quarter to give the Fijis a commanding lead which they never relinquished.
Late Rally Falls Short
A last half rally engineered by Kern and McKinley wasn't enough for the Phi Delt's who, with four minutes to play, trailed the A.K. Pai's 23 to 26. Thompson went wild, hitting one-handers from everywhere as McKinley bottled up Johnson, intramural's high score.
The Delta Chi's were never pressed in triumphing over the Dominoes I. Given a good start by Hall and Burton, the Delta Chi's improved their lead to 13 to 9 at haltime, and increased their margin to 10 points as the game ended.

Through Playoffs
One of the most widely followed sports extravaganzas of the winter season, the state high school basketball tournament, gets under way tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Topeka High School gymnasium.
State Cage Tournament Gets Under Way Tomorrow
The tournament will present a classy crop of interscholastic leaguers. Such stars as Gerald Tucker of Rayfield, Ray Evans of Wyandotte, Guy Mitchell of Hutchinson and Dale Hall of Parsons rank with the greats of Kansas high school basketball.
Four games will be played tomorrow afternoon and four more will follow in the evening. Feature attraction of the afternoon schedule is the game which brings together Winfield and Shawnee Mission.
Winfield is the defending champion and lost only one man from the team that won the title last year. Shawnee Mission boasts its finest team in history.
Winfield Defending Champ
On the evening program are three games which are considered tossups and a fourth game which may be closer than expected. Salina vs. Ward, Emporia vs. St. Joseph's of Hays and Parsons vs. Dodge City, all should be battles down to the final gun.
Wyandotte, victorious in 26 straight games, should beat Colby in the other night game, but may run into more trouble than expected.

Westminster Choir To Sing 'Gallig'
This pre-Easter Motet, composed by Gounod, is one of the better compositions of this type. It takes approximately 20 minutes to be presented.
As a special Easter program, the Westminster A Capella choir, directed by Dean D. M. Swarthout, will sing "Gallia," at 6 p.m. to tomorrow over radio station KFKU.
Meribah Moore, associate professor of voice, will sing the soprano solo part. Accompanists will be Laurel Everett Anderson, professor of organ, at the organ console and Ruth Orcutt, associate professor of piano, at the piano.
Hutchinson, the Ark Valley champion, has moved into the role of tournament favorite recently. The Salthawks have their best offense in years and their usual iron-ribbed defense.
Two sets of brothers comprise four-fifths of the Hutchinson team. Guy and Roy Mitchell are as fine a pair of ball players as the state has seen in recent years. Both are 6 feet 3 inches tall, crack shots and clever ball handlers. Guy is only a junior.
The remainder of the team consists of the Love brothers, Kenneth and Doc, and "Pug" Harrison. Kenneth Love is an exceptional ball handler and is valuable as a "feeder." Harrison is a fine all-around guard.
Expected to reach the semi-finals with Hutchinson are Wyandotte, which would then play the Salthawks, and Winfield and Newton in the upper bracket. The winner of the Hutchinson-Wyandotte game should go on to the championship.

Table Tennis Team Loses First Match
Woodworth, Topeka city champion and the state's second rank player, took his singles match easily, and then carried the Topeka doubles team to a four-game decision in the deciding match of the contest.
The Kansas table tennis team lost its opening engagement of the season Sunday as Cecil Woodworth lead the Topeka Table Tennis association to victory, 3 to 2. The matches were played in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Against Woodworth, Kansas' Warren Shupe uncorked his power shots to capture the first game but the Topekan outsteadied the young Jayhawkey to sweep three straight games. The scores were 18-21, 21-13, 21-11, and 21-12.
Perry Petterson, Kansas No. 2 player, dropped his match with Glen Murray, youthful visitor, in straight games, 21-17 and 21-17.
Only victories for the Mt. Oread team were contributed by Jay Martin, No. 4 player, and Malcolm Black, the third ranking Jayhawker. Martin edged cut Bill McPeak of Topeka, 18-21, 21-17 and 21-19, the closes match of the afternoon Black had little trouble winning in straight games, 21-10 and 21-19.

Kansas Enters Valley A.A.U.; No Butler Trip
Coach Bill Hargiss has declined an invitation to the Butler Relays, scheduled for Saturday, March 16, for his tracksters. "It's too far to take the man," he said, "when we have another meet in three days. I would rather take the team to the A.A.U. meet at Kansas City March 19."
After being dumped into the cellar at the Big Six indoor meet at Kansas City, March 9, the squad is determined to make a comeback in the same field house next week. Ray Harris, captain of the team, is attempting to get his injured foot in shape for the A.A.U. meet.
Herb Hartmann is supplementing AI Arkay with the shot put, which competition between the two may add distance to their records.
O'Hara and Beven have been taking it easy under the instruction of Coach Hargiss. He believes a day or two rest will do them good. The two men tied for second place with a vault of 12 feet at the Big Six indoor meet last Saturday.

There is little to choose between Kansas and Oklahoma tonight. The Jayhawkers will have the advantage of a three days' rest, but will be handicapped by the Forum's "two-by-four" playing floor which will favor the Sooner "fire-wagon" style of play.
The Kansan will have scores at the half and the end of the game. Call K.U. 25 or K.U. 26.
The game will start at 8:30.
Brandstrom-Ulich Speaks On Finland
"Finland and Its Battle for Freedom," was the topic of a lecture given by Mrs. Elsa Brandstrom-ulich yesterday in Fraser theater.
Mrs. Brandstrom-Ulich presented the historical background of Finland. She stated that the organization of the country before the war had given it high standards of living and cultural development. These, she explained, are being destroyed by the Russo-Finnish war. She concluded her lecture with a plea for contributions to aid the thousands of homeless Finns.

Law Graduate Is Shot to Death
E. W. Patterson, 44, '22, was found shot to death in his motor car, three miles north of Weir, Cherokee county, Kansas, last Friday morning, with a bullet hole in his temple.
A 45 calibre revolver with an empty cartridge in the barrel was lying in the seat by the body.
Patterson was the third district representative in Congress and had been in charge of the federal census enumeration in that district.
After serving in the American Expeditionary Forces in France, Patterson was graduated from the School of Law in 1922. He set up a practice in Pittsburg and in 1926 was elected Crawford county attorney. In 1934 he was elected to Congress and served two terms.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
No Gibraltar, Hearst's Empire Melts
With the sale in St. Louis of $1,500,000 worth of art objects collected by William Randolph Hearst, national interest once again ponders upon the greatest collector of modern times. Possibly the great journalistic "Chief" built his house of collections upon the sands, for now the wind of age comes to wrench it asunder and scatter its priceless objects upon the market place.
Although most of the actual fighting in Europe's two wars is done by men, the powder puff battalions are once more demonstrating the importance women play behind the lines in making the wheels of war turn.
As a young man, like Lochinvar, he came out of the west. The steed he rode was the 20-million-dollar legacy left him by his father. His sword was the brilliant success he had achieved with the San Francisco Examiner. Unlike Lochinvar, however, he carried with him a bottomless theoretic bag in which he was to pour all his journalistic collections until in 1937 they reached an empire of $220,000,000. He owned 25 morning or evening newspapers, 17 Sunday newspapers, three English magazines, two telegraph news services, and a group of syndicates, advertising, radio, and motion picture enterprises with world-wide ramifications.
Still in short trousers, Hearst became a collector when in Europe with his mother, and there first developed what was to make and break him as a world figure—collectormania.
Among European belligerents, Britain and Finland are making maximum use of their feminine reserves. Approximately 75,000 women are enlisted in Finland's Lotta Svard, which has taken over all types of civil work behind the lines.
Female Equality-the execution of a plan that started with an act of the state legislature which read "that $1,000 was appropriated for a marble bust of late ex-governor Charles Robinson."
Not content with professional finds, the "Chief" became a great property collector.
They also do most of the clerical work. Britain's women, besides doing the expected knitting, are engaged in thousands of war tasks, ranging from the Women's Royal Naval Service, the Royal Air Force Auxiliary Unit where they ferry planes from factories to flying fields, to part time work such as typing, and operating switch boards.
The war has made little difference in Russia, for the Soviet regime has made a practice of training women for all work open to men.
The remark made by Marshal Joffre in the first World War that he would be defeated "if all the women now at work in France were to stop for even twenty minutes," applies even more strongly to all belligerent nations today, where women are knitting, fighting in the front lines, working in munitions plants, and performing a thousand dreary but necessary daily tasks.
While French women have not donned uniforms as have British women, they have entered men's fields to fill gaps caused by the war. They are particularly important in agriculture, and the Labor Ministry estimates that 400,000 more French women will be used in industry. In Germany, Hitler has now been compelled to call women back from the homes where he first sent them so that they can take over certain new types of work.
Castles in Scotland and Wales, a fabulous ranch at San Simeon, California, and other vast holdings, totaled a real estate value of $56,000,000.
Today, Hearst, like King Lear, is collecting nothing but his wits and his pride. As always, he is stubborn and courageous in the face of defeat. When his INS and his papers were barred from the use of the mails and cables in Great Britain, 1916, he said, "I will apologize for nothing, retract nothing, alter nothing". "Chief" Hearst is much the same today.
But the papers did run down with their master. Hearst's wealth lay in his collections all frozen assets. There was no collection of trust funds to harness the chain out of financial quicksand. There was nothing left to do but sell precious museum objects on "easy credit terms".
Thus Hearst's mansions crumbled. Had he the foresight to build on a firm rock, economic security, his incomparable journalistic and artistic collections would still be within his grasp.

Real University History Lies Behind Hill Statues
By Mary Lou Randall, c'41
By Mary Lou Randall, c. 41 Everyday hundreds of students shuffle past the statue of "Uncle Jimmy Green" in front of Green Hall, or gaze blankly at the marble bust of Gov. Charles Robinson in Frank Strong hall. Real history stands behind these and similar statues of bronze and marble that dot the campus.
When James Woods Green, Dean of the Law School from 1878-1919, died, noted lawyers and judges who had been his pupils mourned his death. His students loved him because he was one of them.
The University engaged Daniel Chester French, foremost sculptor in the world, to make a statue of "Uncle Jimmy." One of French's claim to fame was his statue of Lincoln that stands before the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.
French studied Green's character before he started on his work, and consequently portrayed him as a plain true genuine man guiding the steps of inexperienced youth. Forty thousand dollars was appropriated for the statue.
On Feb. 22, 1898, in the University chapel, a large audience witnessed the presentation of the bust of Governor Robinson of Kansas to the university by the state. This was
The committee for selection of the sculptor chose Lorado Taft known for his bronze equestrian statue of Grant at Leavenworth. The Robinson bust is now in Frank洪 hall.
The first full course of engineering, which was one in civil engineering, was taught by Dean F. Olin Marvin. When he died and left his library to the Engineering School, a committee decided that a bronze bust of him should be placed in the midst of his books. A letter of inquiry was sent out and subscription to a fund was over $500. The artist chosen was Mr. Jorgen C. Dryer and the architect was Mr. B. J. Lubschez.
The bust of Louisa M. Alcott was made and given to the University by Frank Edwin Elwell, a New York sculptor. Miss Alcott befriended Elwell in his youth and in a large measure determined his career as an artist.
"Professor Frank" as his students called him, was a genius as a teacher. The success and standing of the Engineering School proves him an organizer as well.
in the Topeka State Journal's "Reporters' Corner" we find this little paragraph which has a slight reminiscent odour: "These are trying hours for the first robbins and the first croci of the year. March had to go on a bender." J.R.T.
Without the initials one could easily identify the author by the word "croci." "Tis no less, nor more, than John Randolph Tye warbling about the fact that Dame Earth is enceinte with spring.

The Gamma Phi freshmen have formed a new club with a commendable point. The youngsters have united in the common purpose of helping each other stop swearing. Swearing at the Gamma Phi house is the privilege of actives, not freshmen, according to sophomore Betty West.
Following the T.N.E. scandal at Missouri we wonder if the local chapter will be hanging their crest at the Pan-Hel party this weekend they have done in past years.
Vernon Berkey, freshman medic at the Nu Sig house, recently got a big load off of his chest. For several weeks Berkey has been steeling his nerve to call Mary Ellen Skonberg at the Pi Phi house. Last night he pulled himself together, dashed into the phone booth and talked to Mary Ellen for almost five minutes. When he left the booth he tore up some pieces of paper with the exclamation, "Well, I won't need these anymore."
When his brother medics asked him what the papers had contained he explained that they were notes he had jotted down before he called Mary Ellen. He didn't want to get stuck with nothing to say!
If there is a meaner man than the vain in this drama, he probably is busy beating his wife to pull stunts like this one.

Serious Ills Few---
Dr. R.I. Canuteson Finds College Students Healthy
University students are healthy.
University students are healthy. At least that is the conclusion reached by Dr.R.I. Cianuteson, director of the student health service, in his analysis of the physical examination and hospital records of 500 seniors in 1938-39.
Ordinary colds and influenza brought most seniors to the hospital. Doctor Canuteson found that 29.76 per cent of those treated were for these causes. "That early treatment is of advantage is attested by the fact that only 1.16 per cent of this group of students had serious complications such as pneumonia," the director of the health service said.
Digestive disturbances accounted for 9.22 per cent of the seniors admitted to the hospital, and injuries such as sprains, fractures, and joint injuries were next in frequency with 7.38 per cent. Boils, athlete's foot, and other skin infections were fourth in importance with 5.7 per cent and the same percentage underwent operations of all kinds. Only 3.37 per cent had contagious diseases.
Respiratory infections, including pneumonia and tuberculosis, were more frequent in men. Doctor Canuteson said, but a larger percentage of women had digestive disorders. Operations were evenly divided between men and women, but men suffered more frequently from skin infections and injuries.
Sixty-five per cent of the 500 seniors, who had been in residence from two to four years, were hospital patients at least once. The average was 1.54 times for the group.
Doctor Canuteson is concerned over the fact that full advantage is not taken of measures to prevent disease. He said that only 66 per cent of the seniors had been vaccinated against smallpox, a disease that gives Kansas an unfavorable position in public health reports.
Twenty-five per cent are not immune to diphtheria; 51 per cent were immunized before coming to the University and 11 per cent while in residence here. With the Wassermann test available to every student, 71 per cent of the seniors had been tested. Sixty-three pe rcent were immunized against typhoid fever, an increase from 27 per cent in freshmen. Practically no students had had a tuberculin test before coming to the University, but 95 per cent are tested the first year and 69 per cent of the seniors were retested. To dissipate a rumor that patients
To dissipate a rumor that patients
are kept in the hospital a long time, Doctor Canuteson noted the fact that the average stay for illness is three days. "Another myth that students are 'made' to stay in the hospital is exploded by the cold fact that for every student strongly urged (none except contagious cases are required) to enter the hospital, there are two students who come to the hospital prepared to stay and ask to be admitted and another sent in by a housemother," he added.
"Minor physical defects, many of them correctible, prevent 54 per cent from being classed as Grade A and eligible for application for training as air pilots. Heading the list of disqualifying defects is poor vision which is more frequent in seniors than in freshmen. Approximately 7 per cent would be ruled out on the basis of defects of the heart or high blood pressure.

Far Reaching Effects Seen In Finn Peace
By United Press
Peace came to Finland on Russian terms at 2 o'clock this afternoon and immediately threatened far-reaching effects on the war in the Western World.
In Great Britain, the Red Army triumph brought sharp criticism of the government's failure to intervene from former War Secretary, Hore-Belisha. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and his cabinet officers, however, merely re-emphasized their determination to carry on more energetically than ever the war against Germany.
Nazis Warn Turkey
In Berlin, high Nazis suggested that the Finnish peace gave new significance to Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles' visits to Europe—an apparent hint that a new "peace offensive" might be expected.
But at the same time, the Nazis said that it was time for Turkey to patch up its differences with Russia and thus improve Germany's chances to maintain east and south-east supply lines that would nullify England's blockade.
Whether Germany would be able to work up a new "peace offensive"

Uncle Sam's Hand in New Fashions
American Designers Tops
March, the month just before spring makes its bow, is highlighted by fashion showings throughout the country. All have a distinctive American aspect in their styles. The major motifs still are dictated by Paris, but the general result has been largely Uncle Samish.
Femininity is in the forefront and the American designs, which are uti shades. Gray is good, navy better, and white best when contrasted with opposite hues. Browns have staged a revival in both street suits and evening gowns.
Lots of White
Following the American Way in clothes will cause a boom season for laudresses because of the profusion of white touches everywhere. The recurrence of starch stiff and snow white collars, cuffs, and gilts in the daytime costumes match the popularity of white lace, white batiste, and white organdy for evening.
A fabric, as American as your grandmother's cheeked apron.
a versatility is an important factor in lizing pastel and off tones of primary which is enjoying a revival is bengaline. It is appearing in a number of street suits in coppery browns, in navy, and in both light and dark grays. A new material which has just been recently developed is a lightweight jersey called "young-skin".
Mary Crawford
Few French Models
Never since the World War have so few French models been displayed by large stores, while native designers have seized upon these opportunities to show what wearable and becoming clothes they can make without the aid of Paris.
Audist the diplomatic intrigue and political tension that grips a war-infested continent, a former KU. woman moves from capital to capital covering the history-making conferences of Summer Welles.
University Graduate Covers European Crises
From Rome to Berlin to Lausanne and Paris, Doris Fleeson, '23, follows the fact-finding emissary of the President of the United States and reports her observations for the New York Daily News which she represents on the tour. Getting a line on the civilian viewpoint of conditions throughout Europe and seeing her famous husband, John O'Donnell, foreign correspondent for the News in France, are two other "personal assignments" the former Sterling, Kansas, girl, will not neglect.
Covering political events, national or international, is an old but exciting story to Doris Fleeson. Since graduating as a journalism major from the University of Kansas in 1923, Miss Fleeson has distinguished herself in this field. Her coverage of the 1936 Republican National Convention won for her the annual prize awarded by the New York newspaper Women's Club. Together with her husband she writes the syndicated column originating in the nation's capital, "Capital Stuff," and counts among her acquaintances such political personages as the Farleva; and Roosevelt.
A KU. grad, left-wing New Dealer, president of the Women's National Press Club, columnist, foreign correspondent, wife of a famous journalist, and the mother of an 8-year-old daughter are the accomplishments of the woman to whom Marco Morrow of the Topeka Capital advised, "You'd better go on East young woman. You'll never be satisfied unless you do. You might hit the top."
Hay to Speak in K.C.
"Industrial Design" will be the lecture subject which Professor E.D. Hay, head of the advanced flight training program, will present at a meeting of the junior division of the Kansas City section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers tonight. The meeting will be held in the Kansas City Power and Light building in Kansas City, Mo.
Doris Fleeson has done just that. Her career has no ceiling.
Any sedate spring suit will be brightened with a little position hat of shiny black straw. This one is trimmed with pale pink and yellow streamers which wind down from the crown around the throat.
The half-hour discussion will include as speakers Prof. W. E. Sandelius, acting chairman of the department of political science, Prof. John Ise, of the department of economics, Hugh Means, judge of the district court, and Joe Murray, city editor of the Lawrence JournalWorld.
Four to Discuss Finnish Question
The question, "Does Relief to Finland Endanger American Neutrality?" will be in some measure answered next Wednesday night at 9:30 o'clock when two professors, a judge, and an editor will engage in a roundtable discussion over KFKU.
Motion pictures of coal miners at work will be the feature entertainment of a meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, in Haworth hall, at 7:30 p.m., tomorrow. George F. Klein, consulting engineer of the Mackie Clemens Fuel company, Kansas City, Mo., will lecture on "Coal Mining and Preparations." Stewart Bunn, e'41, vicechairman of the group, is in charge of the program.
This broadcast will be the second in a series which KFKU is sponsoring on Thursday nights throughout the month of March. All the discussions for the month will be on problems of the day.

Kansas Earns Shot At A-M
Bucs Put Ghosts Out of Tournament
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
Long distance rebounds gathered up from a few of the man who made the trip to Wichita last night to see Kansas down Oklahoma and earn a right to another shot at Oklahoma A. and M. Saturday night in Oklahoma City.
The Jayhawkers used gasoline and a liquid belt dressing on their shoes to cope with the slick floor and it did a much better job than the vaseline Coach Bruce Drake used on his Sooners' brogans. . But it sure made a mess of the floor. . Marvin Mesch was head and hands above every one else in the game. . Bob Allen played his second straight complete game against Oklahoma and was the only one to see 40 minutes of milling.
This morning when Doctor Allen got to his office he had a beautiful carved reading lamp which W. H. Johnson, retired professor of education, had made and sent to him for winning the game. . . The 80 year old educator listened to the game last night and enjoyed it so much he decided to give the coach one of his pieces of handiwork.
Ralph Miller started at guard and played guard despite the box scores listing him at center. . . The cagers are plenty weary after the game and will not get on the court gaain until they're ready to tackle the Aggies Saturday night. . . The Chamber of Commerce had a banquet for the three Big Six teams, but Missouri pulled out after they lost the first night, and the Sooners accepted an invitation to dine with the Oklahoma Alumni chaper.. .

Comets To Gain Semi-Final Berth
GAMES TONIGHT
7 o'clock—Buccaneers vs. Phi Gam's.
8 o'clock—A. K. Psi's vs. Delta Chi's
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
The Galloping Ghost's hopes for a third consecutive title were swept to the winds last night by a great Buccaneer team which has yet to see defeat. The Buccaneers won by a score of 28 to 24.
With Ed Hall leading the attack, the Delta Chi's achieved their second straight playoff victory by downing the Comets, co-champs of Division II, 22 to 18.
Two Standout Games
Tonight's semi-final games finds Phi Gamma Delta opposing the Bucaneers at 7 o'clock and Alpha Kappa PSI meeting Delta Chi at 8 o'clock.
1982
In the "C" team playoffs, Phi Delta Theta "C" gave Beta Theta Pi "C" their first loss of the season 33 to 24 and Phi Kappa Psi "C" triumphed over Delta Tau Delta "C" 30 to 23.
Moving into an early lead, the Buccaneers rolled up a 19 to 13 margin at halftime on the shooting skill of Dalrymple, Buccaneer captain, and Ulrich, ace center. The second half found both teams exhibiting iron-clad defenses. Game standouts were Coffin and Fournier for the Galloping Ghosts and Bourne and Dalrymple for the Buccaneers.
Weary after their hardearned 45-39 victory over Oklahoma last night in the finals of the Big Six-N.C.A.A. playoff series, at Wichita, the members of the Kansas basketball team arrived home today to get some much needed rest before going to Oklahoma City Saturday night.
Win Over O.U. Puts Kansas In Play-Off
Delta Chi gained their semi-final berth after a hard fought battle with the Comets. Ed Hall's rebound work and one-handed jump shots were too much for the loser's. Hall held Domingo, Comet scorer, scoreless during the opening half. However Domingo gathered seven points in the final period and nearly brought about the downfall of the Delta Chi's. The box scores:

By winning 45 to 39 over the Sooners last night in Wichita the Jayhawkers earned the right to meet Oklahoma A. and M. in the N.C.A.A. district playoff game in Oklahoma City this week-end. Two games this season between the two fives resulted in a 34-30 Kansas victory on the local court, and a 24-22 setback at Stillwater.

In last night's fray Ebling and Engleman played the starring roles, but they received stellar support from the rest of the team. All except one of the eight Kansas men who appeared in the line-up scored.

Kansas Eighth In National Cue Tourney
The Kansas three-billiard team finished eighth in the national telegraphic tournament, conducted last week, it was announced today. The results just tabulated show that Michigan U. won first place with a total of 98 points. Kansas scored 68. The members of the Jayhawker
The members of the Jayhawker and their individual scores were:
Jack Thompkins 19, Chapman Tracy 16, Al Bracke 12, Earl Kinney 11, and LeRoy Fugitt 10.
John Haslam, manager of the billiard teams, said today that a new tournament would get underway this week-end, this time in straight rail competition. The elimination tournament starts at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon with the tourney at 7 o'clock Monday night.
Manhattan, Kan., March 13—Five individual performers and two relay teams will represent Kansas State College in the twelfth annual Armour Tech Relay games at Chicago Saturday.
K-State Entered In Armour Relays
Coach Ward Haylett named Elmer Hackney, shotput; Thaine High, two-mile run; Louis Akers, 60-yard dash; and Darold Dodge and Ed Darden, hurdles; for the trip. Members of the medley and two-mile relay teams will be selected in tryouts this week.
Hackney defended his Big Six conference shotput crown at Kansas City last week by throwing the iron ball 50 feet, 2 3-4 inches, and High won the two-mile run in 9:41.2. Darden was fourth in the high hurdles, Dodge third in the low hurdles, and Akers third in the 60-yard dash.
Life Guard Class Open to Seniors
A class in Senior Red Cross Life Saving for men of the University will begin at 4:30 Thursday afternoon. The first meeting of the group will be held in room 202 of Robinson gymnasium at this hour.
This announcement came from Herbert G. Alliphn, instructor in the department of physical education, and chairman of life saving of Douglas county.
The class will meet daily from 4:30 to 5:00 until 15 hours of instruction has been completed. This will probably be the last life saving school for this semester.
Prospective candidates may sign up in room 107 Robinson gymnasium.
Cement Official to Lecture
"Reinforced Concrete Construction", a subject applicable to both the field of civil engineering as well as the field of architecture, will be the lecture topic of H. K. Shideler, representative of the Portland Cement association, which will be presented before a joint meeting of the American Society of Civil Engineers and students in the Department of Architecture in the School of Engineering and Architecture, in room 206, of Marvin hall, at 7:30 p.m., tomorrow.
Kansas Earns---
(Continued from page 4)
The Jayhwaker defense did a good job of bottling up Ford, limiting his scoring to 2 free tosses and no baskets. The 6 foot, 6 inch boy wasn't up to the heights that he reached against the local team last week, when he repeatedly leaped high in the air to bat away sure-fire baskets.
Mesch found the hoop for 17 points to carry off top scoring honors for the evening. Ebling and Engleman both accounted for 11 points.
Sooners Appeared Tired
The Oklahoma basketeers appeared tired after their tussle with Missouri on the preceding night and it wasn't the same powerful aggregation that swept Kansas from the court four nights before. The Jayhawkers led most of the game, with a half time score of 27-16.
With only five minutes remaining in the game, the Sooners threw a scare into the local camp when they cut down their disadvantage to a mere two points, 37-35. At this point the lanky Ford went out on fouls and Kansas poured in several rapid-fire baskets to ice the contest.
In the closing seconds a stalling game proved successful, as excessive fouling on Oklahoma's part failed to gain possession of the ball. Kansas refused several free tosses at this point.

The orthodox Greater New York Federation of Churches worships no finer God than does Bertrand Russell. Yet they ask to have him denied his appointment to New York City College faculty. Russell and the Federation together could accomplish more in the same trench than they can separated by the barbed-wire of enmity.
Make America a Haven for Tolerance
With Europe's intellectual movements scattered and shaken by the typhoon of war, the task of keeping religion and philosophy from gradual annihilation is left to the United States. This nation's religious leaders could make of America the Athens of modern thought. But they can not possibly hope to provide enlightenment for the world, or a country, or even a state if they remain at cross purposes.
Too many moralists are today's Pharisees. The function of the moralist is not to tell men to be good, but to clarify what good is. Most
A phalanx began the glory that was Rome. A phalanx, men joined together, can begin the glory that will be America tomorrow. But revolutionary changes must be made in the scheme of theological dynasty. A phalanx does not imply narrow-minded letters to Roosevelt from a Protestant Church Council denouncing him for sending a Catholic, Myron Taylor, as a peace ambassador to the Vatican.
Throwing bombs among themselves, the leaders use up the ammunition meant for the enemy. That enemy is indifference, nominalism, belief only in things and not ideals.
Hitler is not the root of all the evils in the world.
Thus speaks H. G. Wells in his latest volume on world affairs, "The New World Order," in which the English author, frank as usual, strikes out at the prejudice that holds America and England in its grip.
Wells Sneers
No longer, however, will these ideals be mockeries, believes Wells. Peace in the Second World War must be made on these considerations of hope, security and freedom and their freedom effectiveness can be proven only if they are applied by the people themselves and motivated by a sense of justice.
"Hitler is merely an offensive pustule on the face of an ailing world," declares Wells, who goes on to point out that getting rid of Hitler will not cure the earth's ills. The English sage has an idea that Hitler embodies the answer to the German people's wants, that he satisfies a need for theirs for a public leader, a strong national figure.
Wells makes the point that the Germans look upon their Fuehrer as one who promises them balm for wounds received at Versailles. Hitler under Wells, practiced eye becomes a national example of the economic dissatisfaction rampant in Germany today. Further explaining that only an economic revolution can change the old order, the old feeling in Germany, Wells calls Hitler only a mortal, not undying, not omnipotent.
With these viewpoints, Wells very simply points the way for economic freedom, security, and hope in Germany and all over the world. Political, religious, and economic freedom are the bases of the Briton's platform.
men fail to comprehend what modern morality implies, but that does not mean that doom awaits the world unless it reverts to ancient tradition. The world can endure a great deal of chaos. It always has.
Americans must fight a war here among peaceful states. It is a war to keep the real things of life alive, to make them grow for future generations. One religious leader can not struggle alone. In addition to the support of every theologian and every philosopher, he needs the force of their combined efforts in this crusade for tolerance.

Juniors in Summer Camp Training Hill R.O.T.C. to Send 63
The Reserve Officers Training Corps of the University is cooperating with the present "more men, better trained" policy of the war department of the United States.
The list of junior class R.O.T.C. men who are to attend a six-week training camp this summer was recently published by Colonel Baldwin. He named 32 infantrymen and 31 coast artillerymen in the group, one of the largest units of advanced R.O. T.C. students ever to attend camp from here.
At Fort Leavenworth, where the infantry group will train, and at Fort Sheridan, III., where the coast artillery will camp, the University men will receive advanced instruction and practical work in military subjects.
the infantrymen will study and practice close order drill, leadership, calisthenics, mess management, extended order drill, scouting and patrolling, combat principles, chemical warfare, and other related army subjects.
They will spend about two weeks on the target ranges, familiarizing themselves with the operation of the army rifle, machine gun, automatic rifle, and automatic pistol.
Studies and practical work for the coast artillerymen will be similar. They also will learn to place and to fire anti-aircraft guns and light artillery pieces. At Fort Sheridan, Lake Michigan, is a target range where spent shells fall harmlessly.
Next fall these 63 men will return to instruct and command the R.O.T.C. regiment here. At the time of their graduation from the University they will take their places in the ranks of organized reserve officers.

In lieu of the necessary energy to write an original column today we offer the following clipping from the May 26, 1919 Kansan.
In that year there was a rule prohibiting attendance of students at "All dances thrown open indiscriminantly to the public at a fixed price."
The story is an account of an actual raid conducted by the W.S. G.A. council and the adviser of women on a dance at Eagle's hall.

Disciplinary Committee Punishes Three Women But the Men All Get Away
Blight Hits Wall Flowers
"Tango hounds and lounge lizards first," has reversed the proud Anglo-Saxon, "women and children first," when students at forbidden dances seek to escape a raid by University authorities. Three University maidens told the Disciplinary Committee Friday why they failed to escape the raid on the dance at Eagle's hall last Wednesday night, when four members of the Women's Student Government Association and Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women, slipped past the dance lookouts and entered the hall.
In the general rush for the fire escapes the men students pushed aside or deserted the women, crowded onto the fire escapes and got away. About nine students escaped. Not a man was caught. The tango hounds didn't stick, but detened the women.
The Disciplinary Committee decided that the three women should attend no more dances, except in their homes, until Nov. 15. One of the three is a College senior. The other two are College and Fine Arts juniors. The Disciplinary Committee also issued a warning that attendance as a spectator at any midweek dance cane under the ban just as strongly as dancing at a forbidden hop, and would be punished in a like degree.
"Why did you do that?" asked a
"I started to run," said one of the women students, "before I saw the raiding party."

The small boys who were standing before the hall as lookouts had not been told to expect raiders in a taxi, and the raiders were at the entrance of the hall before their identity was discovered.
Two small boys tried to dart past and up the stairs to give the alarm. A letter woman tripped him neatly and the raiding party came into the hall without the dancers having been advised of their presence. But as quick as they were, they were not quick enough for the tango hounds who crowded the women aside and got away down the fire escape.

Y.M.Election Ends Today
Perfunctory voting marked the two-day election for YMCA officers ending today at 5, with some 70 ballots cast by 2:30 this afternoon.
The juniors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Ed Price and Sam Iwig, are vying for the office of president of the organization, with three College juniors contending for the position of vice-president; Keith Martin, Richard Rupp, and Charles Wright.
Tallies for the organization's secretary will also be counted this evening. Lloyd Estes, c'42; Hartwell Jewell, c'43; and Bill Miller, c'43, are contestants for that office.
The elections were continued today after a decision that not enough ballots had been cast yesterday to make for a representative vote.
Architects Will Hear M.I.T. Prof
"Why Not Beauty"—perhaps the answer to many a coed prayer—will be the subject of an address to be given by Mr. William Emerson, dean emeritus of the School of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, next Tuesday, at 2:00 p.m. in Marvin hall.
The lecture will be one of a series which Mr. Emerson is giving in the Middle West on subjects relating to architectural education in particular and to fine arts in general. Monday evening he will lecture to architecture students at Kansas State. Tuesday, will mark the second visit of this eminent authority to the University. He last lectured to K.U. students in 1933.

Student Mails His Assignments From Africa
Students who find their rooms too noisy to study might like to try going to the University of Kansas by way of the Belgian Congo.
One student did that last year, mailing in his assignments under Congo stamps.
Even he is not the farthest away of the "off the campus student body" which numbered 3,088 last year. These are the persons served by the correspondence study bureau of the extension division.
Miss Ruth Kinney, secretary of the correspondence study bureau, reported recently that the 3088 persons served by her bureau in its past fiscal year lived in 224 cities and towns in 91 counties in Kansas. in 26 other states, and in four foreign countries, Venezuela, Canada Africa, and Cuba.

'Defeat for Allies'
In Moscow and other Russian cities, the end of the war was hailed as a defeat of English and French "war mongers" who were charged with plotting to attack Russia through Finland.
In any event, the peace ended the immediate threat of spread of war to the north and appeared to close that source of Allied attack on the Reich.
The end of fighting in Finland came at the World War Armistice hour of 11 a.m. (2 p.m. Central Standard time) The smoking guns of the Mannerheine line ceased fire and the ski patrols in the far north were called in.
Finland Had No Choice'
Later, Finnish Foreign Minister Tanner in a radio speech to the mourning nation, said that Finland had no choice. Both the Finnish parliament ad cabinet met this morning and approved Tanner's speech. Parliament began consideration of the peace treaty and it was expected that ratification would come later today.

"We are finding from the results of our questionnaires that room and board in other co-operative houses averages about $20 a month," Dean Werner said. "Our figure is not yet known, and it will be determined by the way the men themselves conduct the houses.
"Our form of managerial setup is also undecided as yet and will have to be determined in time," he added.
25 Die as Train Smashes Into Car
By United Press
McAllen Texas, March 14—A passenger train crashed into a truck load of citrus workers at a grade crossing near here today, killing 25 and injuring 17.
Most of the victims were Mexicans. They were piled on a truck to be carried from one field to another. When the crash occurred, the truck's gas tank exploded, adding to the horror. Bodies of workmen spun through the air and littered the right of way for 200 yards.
The dead and injured were placed in hospitals at McAllen, Welaseco, and Edinburgh, Texas.
Hosa Ramon, driver of the truck,
was among those killed. The train,
which was just slowing down before
entering the town, struck the truck
full in the side.

Police Nab Two Runaway Girls
Two Topeka high school girls, who left Topeka early today for a sojourn to Kansas City, had the Lawrence police department guessing as to their identity this morning.
The girls, who gave their ages as 15 and 17, were picked up by city patrolmen, John Ingals and William Cox, about 10 a.m. today on highway 40 north of Lawrence, where they were attempting to get a ride onto Kansas City. They were taken to police headquarters where they were questioned and held until their parents called for them.
Professing to be sisters, the girls termed their stay in 'the police a new experience and jokingly asked Chief of Police Jude Anderson what was to happen to them. Anderson, after ironing out their mis-statements and finally getting the girls to admit that they were on their way to Kansas City, called the girls' parents.
The girls said that they were tired of school and wanted some excitement.

Alabama Poly Babe Has 8 'Mothers'
Auburn, Ala. (U.P.)—Baby Grady Leon Young hasn't become spoiled —despite the attentions of his "eight mothers."
Baby Leon lives in the college home management house at Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
The youngster's parents, also students at the college, lent their baby to the management house at request of Mrs. Marion Spindle, dean of the school of home economics, to permit home economics students to get practical training in care of babies.
Brockton, Mass. (U.P.) — Responding to a burglar alarm, a cordon of police sped to a Main street clothing store to capture—a colleague, who, finding the front door of the store open, had entered the shop to find nothing amiss. He was just locking the door when fellow law-enforcers closed in on him. All blushed.

Heavy balloting marked the W.S.G.A. election today in the basement of Frank Strong hall. By 2:30 more than 400 women had cast their ballots for W.S.G.A. officers.
Twelve winners will be left from a field of 25 candidates after votes are counted by senior members of the old council at 5 tonight in the office of Miss Elizabeth Meguiar ,advise rto women.
The woman finally selected will be the choice of the largest number rather than the choice of all voters.
Votes will be counted by the preferential method. If no candidate for office has a majority of votes, the name of the woman with the least number will be dropped and the votes redistributed among the names according to second and third choices until one candidate has a majority.
Officers to be chosen are: president, vice-president, and secretary of the executive council, two officers for each of the three upper classes, one representative each from the College and School of Fine Arts, and a point system manager.
All University women may vote for members of the executive council, but only class members may vote for their officers.
The treasurer of the council, Jean Robertson, c'41, was elected last year for a two-year term and will serve with the new council.
An election tea, held yesterday afternoon in the Men's lounge of the Memorial Union building, was the only means used to introduce W.S. G.A. candidates to University women.
Formal installation of the new council will take place April 2 at Evans Hearth.

The tournament is being conducted on the straight Howell system. As late arrivals hold up the entire tournament, all contestants are urged to be on time by Winford Ferry, e'40, who is conducting play.
"But I never saw a canary like Pearl," Mrs. Nadish said. "Most canaries are content to lay four or five eggs in a brood. But not Pearl."
Six eggs appeared in the canary's first nest. Then she built another nest, laid nine eggs in it. She laid a dozen in the third. Her fourth setting numbered 14 and her fifth 15.

Houses Hear Religion Speakers
Not Too Expensive--- Spring Costume Jewelry Features Tricky Design
The difficulty in obtainin geostume jewelry from Central Europe has led the manufacturers turn to native designers with some striking results in spring accessories.
Every conceivable material has been pressed into service and designers have let their imaginations run riot in the matter of necklaces, bracelets, and pins.
Tailored lapels of spring suits cry fruit dangling from rhinestone stems ured in red, white, and blue enamel for that necessary American touch. One practical manufacturer offers a water-boy pin for fresh boutonieres consisting of a hollow silver tube flanked by green enameled leaves. A tardy soul might pin a Dali-esque watch, opening on the side to show the works, to a dark suit.
One of the most novel of the neck-lace and bracelet sets is the one made entirely of old fashioned safety pins of all sizes. Another original necklace is made of gold Roman numerals fastened between two gold chains. A homespun touch is achieved by the necklace made of rope with brightly colored water buckets dangling from it.
Not all the necklaces are so frivolous. Some are as frilly and femin-
for fanciful gadgets such as enameled or a flamboyant metal rooster feath-
ine as a spring bonnet. The new "lace dolles" which are carved from celluloid and hung on plastic chains come in all pastel hues and are as dainty as a lace handkerchief.
A topic for conversation is the self-appointed chaperon belt which says "hands off" by means of two tiny silver bands holding a plaque with the word "off" on it. Another gadget showing the power of the printed word is the set of cuff links for that tailored blouse with the words "yes" and "no" printed on them.
No matter whether you go whimsical, coy, or just plain silly, in the way of gadgets and accessories this spring, just remember that this season is a god-send in the line of amusing jewelry.
PATTERN FOR THE NEW DRESS.
Welcome spring in a firemen red wool jersey blouse and navy blue skirt. The blouse is intricately buttoned and worn with navy blue accessories.

Two Pin Hangings Last Night; Other Society
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
In a last minute burst of Lenten enthusiasm, students, besides giving up candy and buying Easter outfits, are entertaining ministers and faculty members who speak to the groups on religious topics. Many of the houses had speakers Tuesday and tonight, the usual guest night, will be given over by others in order that they may listen to a variety of subjects grouped under the heading of "Religion in the Twentieth Century."
The big news among University women today was the W.S. G.A.election held in the basement of Frank Strong hall. Coeds
with that tired-feet look had it been on long hikes but spent time standing in line to vote. Although they are more subtle about it, women take their politics as seriously as men.
--guest speakers being Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Dr. Eben J. Carey, dean of the Marquette Medical School, and teastmaster, Dr. Hal E. Marshall, of Wichita. A dinner for the wives of the alumni will be held at the chapter house. Following the dinner a dance is scheduled to be held in the ballroom of the Memorial Student Union building with Dale Brodie and his band playing.

Darn the Weather Man Chilly Winds Dispell Hopes for Spring
Contrary to Kansas' usual warm March winds, the state is suffering from a change in temperature ranging from 20 to 50 degrees almost every day. If things don't change, many of the fashion exhibitionists are going to be disappointed Easter day.
The recording apparatus of the gas office thermometer has been consistently keeping itself in the colder sections of the chart, prompted by a flurry of snow and rain, which affords an excellent opportunity for "cold-catchers."
mist kept the air drenched Tuesday and ruined many
An unusually fine mist kept the .. a newly-pressed suit of clothes. The rain appeared in such insignificant amounts that a person could be fooled for the first three minutes he was outdoors. But after that period had elapsed, the realization that you and your clothes were wet promoted an impudent feeling that you must make a change.
intermittently, a day resembling the ideal ones in May, is blown in to encourage the natives of brighter prospects, putting them in a mood to forgive the past weather.
The weather man has been more favorable today and the wind has lost some of its sting. Possibly, with three or four of these days in a row, Kansans might believe there is going to be a spring after all.
Decorators Suggest Various Colored Walls
French Lick, Ind. (U.P.)—Pattern the home after Joseph's multi-hued coat and paint no two walls the same color is the advice of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America who convened here.
They advocate decorating walls in such a manner that you may have at least four different colors from which to choose to coincide with your mood. For example, if melancholy, turn your back on the gray wall on the south and gaze upon the warm, gay orange on the north.
Merons Found Gaining
Philadelphia (U.P.) — The United States is going to the morons, according to fears expressed by Albert Edward Wiggam, psychologist. "Unless some changes take place, the moron will inherit the country through the failure of superior people to have children," Wiggam told the New Century Club. "Half of America—the educated half—is dying out."

pate in a contest measuring the charms of the modern girl against the legendary charms of the immortal Cleopatra.
The expedition will begin in the main lounge of the Sigma Chi lodge at 7:15 p.m. Saturday. Arriving alone and unheralded these potential rivals of the Egyptian queen will have to discover the names of their dates as this information has been solely in the hands of a committee.
The details of this masque will be kept as secret as the former parties, the South Sea Island party and the On to Moscow theme and none of the guests will know the plans for the evening until they arrive for the contest.
Musical interest at the party will center around Clyde Smith and his orchestra. The chaperons will be Mrs. Charles D. Howe, Mrs. C. L. Miller, Mrs. N. K. Thompson and Mrs. Ed Charles.
Group to Discuss Religion, Philosophy
"How Can Philosophy and Religion Meet Today's Needs?" will be the topic of the "Town Meeting of the Air" program which will be heard at 8:30 o'clock tonight in the Memorial Union lounge. The broadcast will be followed by a student forum.
Speakers on the radio program include Irvin Edman, professor of philosophy at Columbia University; Harry Overstreet, philosopher and educator; Reinhold Nebuhr, professor of the Union Theology Seminary; and a fourth speaker who has not been announced. George V. Denny, Jr., president of Town Hall, will act as moderator.
At the student forum following the broadcast, Bob McKay, b'40, will conduct the discussion as moderator, and the Rev. Harold G. Barr will be
Crafton, Nuckles To Judge Contests

Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic art, will judge a play contest at Eudora Friday.
Co-eds' Sphere Invaded
Kingston, R. I., (U.P.) — When 200-pound Borden L. Chase of Newport is graduated in June, he will be the first man ever to receive a home economics degree from Rhode Island State College. The husky 6-footer took the course so he can become a chef or restaurant manager when he graduates.
Lawrence and University students make up these forum groups, Rowland Raup, e'41, head of Public Relations at the Memorial Union, said today.
These weekly gatherings of the "Town Meeting of the Air" are sponsored by the Union Activities committee of the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W. C.A.

Solar Gazers Fooled By Bright Star, Sirius
Berkeley, Cal.—(UP)—Sirius, or the Dog Star, heretofore regarded as the "brightest star that shines" has been put in the dog house by Dr. William F. Mayer, professor of astronomy at the University of California.
He just reported to the Astronomical Society of the Pacific that all the best dictionaries which describe the star as the brightest one in the stellar system are wrong.
In fact, he said, the Dog Star is not even included in astronomy's list of the 10 brightest stars.
Dr. Meyer, speaking on the distances and luminosities of the stars, declared there is only one direct method of measuring the distance of the stars from the earth, and two indirect methods for allowing the exact luminosity to be determined by mathematical calculation.
The direct method, he explained, is by triangulation, computed on the basis of the distance between the earth and sun, but this permits the
exact measurement of only 2,500 stars.
There are about 7,000 others whose distance has been fixed by the two indirect methods.
The difference between degrees of luminosity—and the difference is startingly great, he said—permits of further calculations which exactly measure the distance of the stars from the earth in miles or light years, calculations, however, he
These calculations, however, he said, are so complicated that it is impossible to explain them simply.

Phi Gam's vs. A.K. Psi's
First Play-Off Tilt Begins at 8 Tonight
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Tonight at 8 o'clock Phi Gamma Delta will meet Alpha Kappa Psi in the first of a two out of three game series to determine the intramural basketball championship of 1940.
The Phi Gam's remain favorites to capture the title, but the A.K. Psi's may give them a real surprise. Basis for establishing the Phi Gam's as favorites is comparative scores. The A.K. Psi's suffered their only loss of the season at the hands of the Buccaneers, 29-11, during the regular schedule. Last night in one of the semi-final contests, the Phi Gam's defeated the Buccaneers decisively 37 to 25.
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
The starting lineup for the Phi Gam's, finalists in the intramural cage tourney, includes five former Ark Valley players . . . Wichita fans had the idea the brand of basketball played by Southwestern, Pittsburg, and some of the other leaders in the Central conference was just about tops 'til they saw that fine exhibition of Fig Six basketball Monday and Tuesday nights . . . Tom Stevens, winner of the Kansas relays high jump three years ago with a leap of 6 feet 5-8 inches, is one of the unattached entrants in the Missouri Valley A.A.U. indoor track carnival next Monday night in Municipal auditorium at Kansas City
Johnny Corrigan, former Jayhawker, has seen his Powhatan cagers chalk up 30 victories out of 32 tries this year and is now in the class "B" tourney at Hutchinson . . . Oklahoma Aggies lost in the semifinals at New York last night, but have to stay around until Friday to play for third place . . . Bill Hargiss was interviewed over WDAF last night by C. E. McBride and Fred Winegarth in regard to the Invitational track meet.
Wayne and Blaine Rideout are still running for North Texas Teachers and tacked up 20 points in the Border relays last weekend. . . The football squad got back to their spring workouts today after a brief layoff on account of cold weather . . . There is still plenty of room for men wanting to come out and show 'em what they can do. . . By taking first in swimming, second in wrestling, third in track, and tying for fourth in basketball, Iowa State compiled the best record for winter sports in the Big Six.
All but two of the eight spots in the East and West brackets of the N.C.A.A. are filled . . . On this side of the river Colorado, Rice and Southern California are definitely in and the other berth goes to the winner of Kansas vs. Oklahoma A. and M. . . In the East Springfield, Mass., College, Indiana, and Western Kentucky Teachers already have their tickets to the tourney and the fourth one may be Duquesne, winner over A. and M. last night in the Garden.
Ace man in the Phi Gam's impressive win was Larry McSpadden. McSpadden gathered eight points in the first quarter, paving the way for an easy triumph. In the third quarter, the Bucs came within six points of the Fiji's, trailing 22 to 8.
Free throws in the closing minutes of the game gave the A.K. Psi's a hard earned, 24 to 21 victory over the Delta Chi's. Ed Hall, Delta Chi, wasn't enough although he turned in a brilliant performance. The

Tournament Jottings
The closest, most hard fought opening day games in years opened the state high school basketball tournament at Topeka with a bang yesterday.
Feature game of the day was the Wyandotte-Colby clash in which Wyandotte, victorious in 26 straight games, almost got knocked out of the tournament. The Bulldogs trailed by 8 points at one time in the third quarter and their followers were frantic.
Outstanding individual in the first day's play was Ray Evans, big Wyandotte guard. Evans was playing for the first time since he broke a bone in his foot three weeks ago. His passing was more spectacular than any shooting.
The men's and women's rifle teams left this afternoon for Booneville, Mo., where they will compete in the Missouri Valley annual rifle match. Shooting in the match will be done tomorrow and Saturday. The climax to the week-end will be the Kemper Military ball to be held Saturday night at which all the participants in the match will be guests of the academy.
Hutchinson, the tourney favorite, made the most impressive showing of any team in the opening round. The tall Mitchell brothers accounted for 30 points between them and had plenty of help from the Love brothers. "Hutch" has the old fight this year.
Rifle Teams To Boonville
For those who are wondering what has happened to the defending champion Winfield club, recently, it appears to be a matter of Gerald Tucker's teammates falling off their play. Tucker looked better than ever yesterday.
Members of the teams participating in the match are: Betty Adair, ph'40; Jane Adair, ph'40; Beryl Benbow, c'42; Olivia Cole, ed'41; Mary K. Colglazier, c'41; Dorothy Durand, c'42; Patricia Green, c'40; Anna J. Hoffman, c'43; Helen Naramore, fa'40; Margaret Ogden, c'41; Ann Rightmire, fa'40; William A.

Cold Weather Keeps Baseballers Under Stands
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
The sun shone brightly yesterday afternoon—amid snow flurries driven hard by a raw wind—and Coach Mike Getto of the Kansas baseball team was about ready to trade in his baseball uniforms for snow suits. Resorting to the best means possible Getto has been drilling his charges daily for the past two weeks under the east side of the stadium. Practice has been confined mostly to the pitchers and catchers.
Last season the pitching staff of "Red" Dugan and Jim Burge was consistently good enough, and the mound staff will be even better this spring with the addition of Forrest Kresie, who hurled during the summer for a Topeka merchant team. The coach is anxiously awaiting warmer weather so the hitters can start getting some batting practice, because he hopes to build the swatting attack up to par with the hurling.
Three Good Receivers
For the past week the Jayhawker mentor has been focusing his attention on the batteries and some on the throwing of prospective infielders. Captain Eldreth Cadwalader is back this year to hold up the receiving duties. In addition to him Ed Suagee is eligible for service in this department. Monte Merkle, who is now going on his second week in the hospital following an attack of the flu, is the third member of the catching corps. With these three stalwarts to work on home plate Getto has little to worry about in this direction. With Dean Martin another possible addition to the catching staff, Getto will probably find himself working his excessive receivers into other spots in the line-up.
Captain Cadwalader kept in trim last summer, playing on Sundays with a Ban Johnson team. Engaging in 10 games he hit better than 400, which is good enough in any league.
Ed Suagee, Monte Merkle, and Dean Martin will also be no strangers to the catcher's mit. Suagee saw considerable service in a league at Bartlesville and has played a lot of soft-ball around the campus. The

Two Fencing Meets If Wichita Saturday
Four members of the University fencing team, captained by Haven Glassmire, will meet the University of Wichita and Friends University fencing teams Saturday at Wichita, Coach Jim Raport, instructor in physical education, said today.
The Jayhawk fencers will meet the Wichita University team Saturday afternoon and the Friends University squad that night. The matches with Friends will mark the first meeting of the two teams. Friends this year won the midwestern tournament at Omaha.
Members of the Kansas team who will make the trip include Glassmire, Carlos dc Janon, c'40; Kalman Oravezt, l'42; and John Cadden, e'41.

Vants More Men Out
Coach Getto said yesterday that 30 men had checked out suits, but that he was anxious to see a much larger turnout. Kansas State, the team that opens the league schedule here April 12, reported this week that 80 men are out for baseball.
Getto urged that any boy in the University, who is eligible for varsity competition, come down to the stadium and check out a suit. A call will be issued for freshmen players, when the weather warms up sufficiently to allow out-of-door practicing. Right now, Getto said, there is scarcely enough room under the
It is the intention of the Kansas coach to play several inter-squad games before April 12. For this reason he is desirous of a large group of prospective baseball players. All necessary equipment is furnished by the school, with the exception of shoes.
Schwegler to Talk over KFKU
R. A. Schwegler, dean of the school of Education, will be interviewed tomorrow by R. Foster Perkins, gr, on "What the School of Education has to offer to the Elementary Teacher." The interview will be broadcast over radio station KFKU at 2:30 p.m.
Agate Collection Is on Display At Haworth Hall
A collection of agates loaned to the geology museum by E. D. Kinney, professor of metallurgical engineering, has recently replaced the trophy cups at the entrance of Haworth hall.
Of the 18 stones in the collection, the largest is about 6 inches in diameter. A rich variety of color and pattern is exposed by highly polished cross-sectional cuts of the stones.
The beauty of an agate depends upon the color, and the fineness of its bands. The bands are the characteristic layers or rings that show up clearly in the stone's interior. Agates are known to have as many as 17,000 of these bands in one inch.
Doctor Kinney's mother obtained these stones while traveling in Switzerland many years ago. Agates are found also in Scotland, Prussia India, and Brazil.
Price Elected Y.M.C.A. Prexy
Names of Y.M.C.A. officers were announced by John A. Moore, secretary, after a two-day election period. Those elected were:
President, Ed Price, c'41; vicepresident, Keith Martin, c'41; secretary, Lloyd Estes, c'42.
These three officers will choose a cabinet of about 24 men who will head various commission and committees of the organization.
Chess Enthusiasts May Form Club
Five members of the advisory board were also chosen. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art; Fred Montgomery, head of the Bureau of visual instruction; R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology; and F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law; were chosen for three-year terms. Hilden Gibson, instructor of political science, will serve for a one-year term.
Lovers of the "little men" of the chess board will have a chance to indulge in their favorite sport and make plans for a tournament at a meeting of Lawrence chess players in the WREN building tomorrow night at 7:30, Mr. A. J. Thompson, 1005 Indiana, announced today.
Fine Arts Students Present Recital
All University students and faculty chess players are invited, Mr. Thompson said, and the formation of a club will be discussed. After the meeting there will be some games, so those who wish to play are asked to bring their men and boards.
James C. Malin, associate editor of the Quarterly and professor of history, wrote "The John Brown Legend in Pictures—Kissing the Negro Baby," explaining prints published after John Greenleaf Whittier had written his poem, "Brown of Osawatomie."
Two members of the University faculty have written articles appearing in this issue of the Kansas Historical Quarterly.
Malin, Gagliardo Write Articles for Quarterly
Students in the School of Fine Arts played piano, cello, and ensemble numbers in the regular weekly recital at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon in Frank Strong auditorium.
"Some Wage Legislation in Kansas" is the title of the article by Domencio Gagliardo, professor of economics.
The program follows: "Trio in C Major" (Mozart), by an ensemble composed of Bert Shoemake, fa'41, violin; Helen Rymph, fa'43, cello; and Hazel Haynes, fa'41, piano.
"Sonata Tragica," second movement (MacDowell), piano solo by Juanita Austill, c'42; "Soaring" (Schumann), piano solo by Jeanne Moyer, fa'42; "Two Etudes" (Bozktewitz), piano solo by Treva Thompson, fa'40; "Largo" (Vivaldi), cello solo by Jack Stephenson, fa'42; "Senta's Ballad" (Wagner-Liszt), piano solo by Elnora Hilst, fa'41; "Sposalizio" (Liszt), piano solo by Ruth Sieg, fa'43.

It's about time for gardeners to start putting up the grass signs, or for the students to stop walking across the grass—or both.
The campus is unfortunate in having some of the poorest soil in Kansas; and neat good-looking greenswarms require cooperation from hurrying students.
Keep Off The Grass
The condition does not, however, lie with the students alone. Special care and grooming by the University employees must be given before the campus can be compared even with that, or especially with that, of Kansas State.

The possibilities are present; so far, only cooperation is lacking to make the Hill the beauty spot it should be.

The Kansas University chapter of civil engineers is one of 12 chapters in the country commended by the national chapter of American Society of Civil Engineers for its work during the year of 1938-1939. This is the first time in the history of the University that such an honor has been bestowed upon its civil engineers.
Maps of Montgomery and Linn counties are nearing completion, while one of Labette county has recently been released.
The data is being collected for the survey's files and to enable the geologists to draw maps showing the location of dry and producing wells, together with the depth and other data of special interest to the independent operators who might not be able to obtain such information otherwise.

Government Helps Prostitute Farming
Swarms of bogus-farmers have invaded the once respectable occupation of farming. These men are not farmers, never have been, and so long as the government continues to support them, never will be. A few days out of the year, these farming frauds make pretenses at stirring up the group, using methods similar to those of savages, and the remainder of the time is spent in a supine position in some dirty hut living off the government and blackening the name of "farming." It is upon this class that our more lecherous politicians thrive. It is the bogus-farmers who keep the "humanistic" crackpots in office to give them handouts.
Farming, once considered the occupation of a man's man who contained his security in his land and the hands that tilled it has degenerated into a racket whereby a living is derived not from farming but by voting for the politicians who offer the most. Never was this made more evident than in the current dependency upon federal subsidies to agriculture.
This mendicant dependency exists because of a variety of evils. Marginal and submarginal land is kept in production when, under the most optimum conditions, it could not produce a profit by itself. Continued subsidies from the government is the only reason for not returning it to its virginal status. So long as money is paid to men farming this worthless land, so long will it remain in production, keeping its tillers from becoming something besides wards of the federal government.
The ardent devotion to the growing of a standard one-money crop has added to the miserable mess. In good season or bad the result is always the same: low prices for an abundance or high prices for nothing. Many wheat farmers, in Western Kansas particularly, possess not even a milch cow. They buy their milk. Likewise cotton raisers of the South do not even raise their work mules, but buy them from Kansas.
Not all farmers have prostituted themselves to the politicians or let their characters erode completely. In every agricultural region reside men who accept no charity but work their ground well, watch their orchards, where conditions allow them one, and tend their flocks. They know that this is the occupation of a true farmer.
Superior vitamin content of foodstuffs in George Washington's day made it possible for the average man to consume twenty-nine ounces of ninety-proof whisky a day without ill effect, according to Dr. Norman Jolliffe, associate professor of medicine at the New York University college of medicine, but with the refined foods of today liquor consumption should be limited to not more than five ounces
The real farmer is being persecuted by too many malefactors. Upkeep has overburdened him with taxes. If the government could find some way to retire the worthless group, allow the bogus-farmer to starve or find himself an occupation more fitted to his inability, and secure a solution to the question of standard money crops, the true farmer would restore the good name of his profession. The easiest way back would be to let the farmer return to good old-fashioned farming.

daily. Drinkers should consume an added supply of vitamins, especially B-1, found in foods not subjected to modern processes of refining.
Thus, Doctor Jolliffe's study will be of investable value to the average man of twentyeight years hence, who, algebraically, will face alcoholism on one highball a day.

Lilac Blooms Bring Spring to Hill Lane Originated In 1878
Snow one day, blue skies the next that's March in Kansas. But spring doesn't come officially to the Hill until the lilacs bloom on the campu.
Winter-weary freshmen are sighing for the miracle of spring at K.U., curious to analyze for themselves the season others have mentioned, when Jayhawkers enjoy again the beauty of the Hill.
Few realize that their beloved Hill was a bleak ridge, a freak of nature rising treeless from the prairie, when it was chosen as the site of the state university. The beauty of the campus is taken for granted now but in 1866 the University was only a small building located on an ugly eye-sore of nature nicknamed by the pioneers "The Hog's Back" and "The Devil's Backbone."
Education was a grim business back in the '70's and no one thought of wasting motion on such frills as
landscaping and gardening. Then in the spring of 1878 Joseph Savage, a Douglas County farmer, grew tired of the grim aspect of the Hill and determined to do something to improve it. Farmer Savage hauled a load of young trees from the Wakarusa Valley. With the help of his friend Chancellor Marvin and a squad of students he planted the first trees on Mt. Oread.
Mr. Savage hated the ugliness of the windy heights and conceived the idea of planting a lilac hedge from cuttings of lilac bushes on his farm. The first lilac hedge was planted east of Fraser and forms what is now known officially as Lilac Lane. The campus is dotted with lilac bushes, and each year Kansans drive to Lawrence to see the lilac's of K. U. Sentimental grads write poems, and undergraduates continue to carry on in the Hill's best tradition. Spring on the Hill means lilacs.

To some of us doses, Spring can never be anything more than an excuse for being lazy. To others it's an excuse for being woo-zy. So for them as likes this sort of thing, we offer:
THE DEPARTMENT OF LOVE
Hand-in-handing it about the Campus are Pachacamaca's brain Seth Grey and Chi Omega's actress Jean Brown. . . While Pi Phi Boby Smythe's away, Sigma Chi Rex Darlern dates everyone in the Pi Phi house who doesn't wear two pins—and some who do. . . Bob Brockett is in a mood blue since Alpha Chi Fran Anderson left him sitting without a date to the Junior Prom—and probably because of a Kappa Sig name o' Bob Leidig. . . Pi Kap's Harry Caldwell and Bob Wilkins continue to fuss and feud over Theta Hollie Tanner, but betters now give the edge to Wilkins. . . Sigma Chi Dick Mize and Kappa Jean Egbert are about ready to steady—but there are those who say 'tis false.
That commotion you heard or saw in Watson library one recent day was probably caused by Sigma Nu pledge Barrett Van Dyke after a more experienced freshman administered the well-known "hot foot."
Bill Hyer, of Sigma Chi and Hyer Boots, joined the equitation class and urged his brothers to do likewise—the better to sell them boots. Hyer's only claim to fame is his ability to recite Kipling's "Boots" and work a commercial into it.
Initiated on a Saturday, Chi O freshman Anna Jane Hoffman received an orchid from Jack Parker he following Monday. Muttered Annie: "It was darling of him to send it, but what am I going to do with it?" Not that it makes any difference, but come to think of it, we never did find out what she did with it.

Quill Club to Meet Tonight
Quill Club will meet at 7:30 o'clock tonight in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building for a program of original manuscripts. These will be read and discussed by the group.
Legerdemain With a Stick--- Coming Billiards Expert Makes Cue Ball Talk
Charles C. Peterson, the man who challenges anyone to "show me the trick shot I can't make at billiards," will give an exhibition of plain and fancy billiard shots in the recreation room of the Memorial Union building at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The exhibition is being sponsored by the Memorial Union activities committee.
Peterson is touring the country to popularize billiards in schools. He is employed by the Association of College Unions, which took over the idea after Peterson first popularized it with a tour of 1931 that included only six schools.
Peterson gained his fancy shot skill while touring from 1906 to 1923 with Willie Hoppe, former world champion and one of the sport's all-
time greats.
After an automobile accident took some of Peterson's perfect touch, he decided to concentrate upon trick shots in tours with Hoppe. He does the "West Point" shot, wherein the cue ball, after striking the first object ball, curves around a tube, caroms a cushion, backs into the tube, which does an about-face und-r the impetus and rolls the ball out against the other object ball.
He has been playing billiards for 45 years and is now the world's greatest trick-shot billiard artist. Since mid-October he has stopped at 60 colleges in his tour and he expects to make it 206 before June. He expects a total attendance of 150,000.
Student Opinions On Air Tonight
National problems is the subject for discussion in the fifth Student Opinion broadcast tonight at 8 o'clock over WREN. Five University students will discuss topics ranging from foreign affairs to the farm problem. Judges for tonight's contest are P. Caspar Harvey, professor of speech at William Jewel College, Liberty, Mo., and B. W. Maxwell, professor of political science, Washburn College, Topeka. The third judge has not yet been announced.
The speakers and their subjects are: Jean Crawford, "How Foreign Affairs Affect the United States;" Irving Kuraner, "National Politics"; Mac Wynne, "Farm Problem;" Ronald Milan, b'40, "Relations of Capital and Labor;" and Gerald Smith, ed.11, "Seeds of Crime."

Student orators of Kansas have for the past decade participated in the state peace oratorical contest in cooperation with a national system of contests. Two wealthy Quaker women in Pennsylvania have for many years sponsored the cause of peace through the contests. Nearly 40 states hold contests each year for cash prizes amounting to $120.
Martin Maloney, who graduated in 1937, won first place in the state and third prize nationally three years
ago; Paul Moritz was the K.U. representative a year ago.

Two Nations To Negotiate With Finland
Stockholm, March 14 Sweden and Norway have agreed to negotiate a defense alliance with Finland and expect to start military and diplomatic negotiations immediately after final ratification of the Russian-Finnish treaty, probably within a week, the foreign office disclosed today.
Sweden will ask Russia to explain why it wants to build a railroad across the Finnish frontier. Norway is like 'to' ask Russia why it wants free passage for goods in transit across the Finish Petsano area.
President Kyocii Kallio of Finland, in a radio address at Helsinki today said that "Finland's army is still ready to protect our work in the future and watch our new frontier."
Sweden is prepared to provide Finland immediately with credits, loans, and public subscription to an estimated 200,000,000 to 300,000,000 Swedish crowns ($47,680,000 to $71,-520,000) for reconstruction it is understood.
It was indicated that part of these contributions would be used for fortifications along Finland's new frontier with Russia.
Journal of Morphology Honors K. U. Graduate
Twenty-eight years of professorship at the University of Pennsylvania is the reason that Vol. 66 of the "Journal of Morphology" is being published in honor of Dr. C. E. McClung, p'92, g'98, professor of biology and president of Beta Beta Beta, national honorary biological fraternity.
Doctor McClung has been managing editor of the Journal since 1920. Volume 66 will appear in three numbers, January, March and May, and will consist primarily of papers written by his former students.
After his graduation in 1898, Doctor McClung received world-wide acclaim in cyto'ogy, a study of cells. During this research work, he served as assistant cytology professor in Chicago University, where he received his doctorate.
In 1920 he returned to this University to head the department of zoology, become dean of the medical school and curator of paleontology. During his 10-year stay here, he had an active interest in athletics—being chairman of the eligibility committee and Kansas representative on the Missouri Valley Conference.
In 1912 he accepted a similar position at the University of Pennsylvania to carry on his cytological work. During the World War he served as chairman of the Division of Biology and Agriculture and at the same time was national president of Sigma Xi, honorary mathematics fraternity.
The name of Doctor McClung is inscribed on a q'aque at the Pennsylvania Women's College as one of the outstanding scientist of the twentieth century.

More Study, Less Fun Is Harvard College Trend

Britain Believes Hitler Will Seek Peace Soon
By United Press
London, March 15 - Great Britain believes that Germany and Russia may start a new "peace offensive" timed to coincide with under Secretary of State Summer Welles' return to Washington, it was understood here today.
Britain and France were prepared to reject any such move as premature and they were prepared also to counter any German or German-Russian moves in southeastern Europe which might be started as a follow-up to the Russian victory in Finland.
There was a belief here that Germany and Russia might start a drive intended to end the war speedily and leave them with their gains in eastern Europe.
Welles was told plainly when he was in London, it was understood, that the Allies would reject any
attempt to make peace now. British leaders made it clear to him that they would consider peace only when Germany withdrew from Czechoslovakia and Poland and gave solid guarantees against further aggression. Despite this, it was feared here that during Welles' second visit to Rome there might be the first move in an attempt to draw President Roosevelt into a peace drive. There was widespread belief that German Foreign Minister Joachim v Rippentrop had conveyed some kind of information to Premier Benito Mussolini calculated to encourage President Roosevelt to mediate.
Though the British would hate to rebuff the President, there was every indication that they would reject any of his peace attempts if offered in the belief that the Allies must reject them.

Pan-Hellenic Dance Is Tonight
They're Collector's Items---- Sweaters Indispensable In Modern Coed Clothes
College women collect sweaters like William Randolph Hearst collects art treasures but they get a great deal more good out of them.
There was a time when they bought sweaters to keep them warm, but in recent years sweaters have come out of the mothballs of strict practicability to take a spot light of their own. As much care and originality go into the designing and styling of most sweaters as go into the making of dresses. As a result today's sweaters, which are offered in every color of the rainbow and with every kind of trim, do duty on the campus with skirts
and tailored suits as well serving as part of formal evening dress.
Cardigans Popular
Cardigan and novelty jacket types in lovely pastels and soft bright shades dominate the new spring collections. "Sloppy Joes," those long jackets worn down over the hips, were introduced last fall and are still with us to be worn buttoned either in front or back.
Sweaters are following the current style trends with tightwaisted effects, novelty waistbend treatments and ruffled and frilly neck and sleeve decorations. Shoulders are tucked, puffed, or padded.
Variety of Styles
You may take your choice this spring of plain simple knits or soft

fuzzy kinds because counters are piled high with brushed angoras, terry effects, cotton and rayon knits, and loose lacy weaves. Trick stitching, jewelry gadgets, and embroidery effects all serve as trimming. Some of the embroidery is in scroll designs running horizontally along the front closing. Other sweaters are without trim and form a good color contrast for plain or tweed suits when worn with the new novelty necklaces and bracelets.
Chubbies, short jackets of angora and other brushed wools, in white and pastels, are a welcome addition to any wardrobe. They can be used as jackets with sweaters or blouses or they can set off casual tailored dresses. During warm spring nights they can be worn as evening wraps.
Vacation and Traditions Come Again With Easter
By Crystelle Anderson, e'40
This musculine mess jacket worn with a black skirt is the motif of this dinner ensemble for cool spring evenings. The jacket is white silk fallle, with one red, one white carnation in the buttonhole. The straight skirt of black crepe is gathered in the center front to a wide waistband.
March 24! Easter Sunday—the day when Americans celebrate the ascendance of Jesus Christ into heaven by wearing a new outfit of clothes, in extreme styles, to church. They are so self-conscious that they hardly benefit from their attendance. The minister celebrates by laying aside his usual sermons on finance and attendance to tell the story of the resurrection.
To college students Easter is not just a day but a week of vacation from class attendance and, for most of them, the campus.
A great many traditions have been built up around this day which have nothing particularly in common with the religious aspects of the celebration. For instance, Easter, the word, is derived from an old pagan festival in honor of Eastre, a Saxon goddess of spring and dawn. The roots of Easter as a Christian feast go back to the Jewish Passover and
Boyce Makes Inspection Of Chanute Disposal Plant
Professor Earnest Boyce, director of the water and sewage disposal plant, made a final inspection of the city water supply plant at Chanute, last Tuesday.
The inspection was made for the State Board of Health. Chanute has recently completed a $40,000 purification plant softener improvement. Professor Boyce returned to his office Thursday.
its paean of thanksgiving for the saving of the first-born of each family in Israel.
In looking back to the history of the traditions of Easter one finds that every early association of the word Easter had to do with youth and promise. It was supposed to be a time for the beginning of new things.
Ambrose, the bishop of the Church of the fourth century, A.D., said "This is the real beginning of the year; the opening of the months, the new revivals of the seeds and restoration of joy interrupted by cold weather. On this day God re-lights the sun and gives light to the moon."

Hay Elected Prexy of Coed Flying Club
Helen Hay, c'40, organizer of the aviation club for women, was elected president of the group by the 14 charter members who met in the Memorial Union last night. The two other club officers, vice-president and secretary-treasurer will be filled by Ruth Spencer, c'41, and Alys Magill, c'uncl.
The Kansas unit of the women's Aeronautical Association was first organized at a meeting two weeks ago. The by-laws and constitution was drawn up by the 14 women at a meeting last week. The purpose of the club is to promote an interest in aviation among university women. Only two of the club members are enrolled in the student flight training course.
The charter members of the first aeronautical club are Helen Hay, Nadine Bitter, c'41; Nancy Kerber, fa'42; Jane McHenry, fa'43; Viola Knoche, c'41; Beth Kirby, c'43; Lillian Fisher, c'41; Ruth Spencer, Betty Watt, c'42; Jeanne Leeland, c'41; Alys Magill, Billie McIntire, c'42; Barbara Kaniels, c'41; Jean Hinshaw, c'42.
Sweaters and emblems were chosen as identifications for members of the club. Plans for a skating party to be held March 28 were announced last night. Members and other students interested in becoming members are urged to attend. In April, activities relating to flying and aviation will be undertaken.

Annual Party Will Be Informal; Other Society
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
Fraternity men found out just how high their seniority was, when the top ten senior men, the president, and the Pan-Hellenic representative, in each fraternity, received tickets for the annual Men's Pan-Hellenic dance tonight in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. The next five men in seniority in each house will compose the stag line, which they say, is better than nothing at all.
Music for the dancers will be furnished by an imported band, Lee Dixon and his orchestra from the Hotel Nicollet in Minneapolis. The party will be semi-formal owing to the decree of members of Men's Pan-Hellenic council who hated to drag out their evening clothes just packed away from last week's Junior Prom.
N. Wyman Storer, associate professor of astronomy, and Dr. Henry Frank, professor of chemistry on leave from the University of Canton in China, were dinner guests last night of Alpha Kappa Psi, business fraternity. Following the dinner Professor Storer led a discussion on astronomy and its relation to religion.

Science Meet Will Be Here Tomorrow
That between 400 and 500 students and their teachers will be at the University tomorrow morning for lectures and demonstrations at the annual state Physical Science Conference was the possibility voiced today by the conference's sponsors in view of the combination of spring weather and an advance enrollment of 200 delegates from 40 high schools.
One major change has been made in the program. Because of the illness of Dr. Robert Taft, who was scheduled to speak on "A Century of Photography in America," Dr. R. C. Moore of the geology department will give the main address at 10 o'clock.
The program will start at 9 o'clock with registration in Fraser theater, and continue until 5 p.m.
The 11 o'clock address then will be made by Morgan Rarick, professor of chemistry, instead of Moore. Rarick will give a glass-blowing demonstration at 2:30 o'clock.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott will make the welcoming address to the delegates this morning, and Dean Paul B. Lawson will speak to the group at a luncheon in the Union building at noon.

Phi Gam's Win First Game
Rally Nips A.K. Psi In Series Opener For Intramural Title
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
In the season's most thrilling game, Phi Gamma Delta staged a brilliant last quarter rally which gathered barely enough points to whip Alpha Kappa Psi 30 to 29. The second game of the championship series will be played at 8 o'clock Monday night. The game was a heartbreaker for the A.K. Psi's who had led the Phi Gam's for over three quarters.
Hambric, Phi Gam, opened the scoring with a 1-handed side shot. Johnson, A.K. Psi, retaliated with a difficult setup. McSpadden, Phi Gam, tipped one in and then the Businessmen
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
The Jayhawker basketball team is the best in the state. And by that I not only mean it is better than any other Kansas outfit, but that it is much better in the state than outside the state.
This season the Jayhawks have played 13 games within the borders of this fair province and won them all. They have taken eight games at home, three at Topeka's tourney during the Christmas vacation, one at Kansas State, and one at Wichita over Oklahoma.
In games outside the state, Kansas has won only three and lost five. Victoria over Nebraska, Iowa State, and Loyola of Chicago have been the only ones turned in away from the home base.
With this in mind, the team goes South again today in an effort to break the Sooner jinx and get into the N.C.A.A. tournament next week at Kansas City.
It will tangle tomorrow night with A. and M. in Oklahoma City's Municipal auditorium in the rubber game of the series with the Punchers. Kansas downed them by four points here and lost by two at Stillwater.
The Aggies won't get into the oil capital until noon tomorrow after a flying trip from New York, but those who know say air travel is soothing and conducive to sleep. The game won't begin until 8:30 so that will give them a few more hours rest on the inner-springs of one of the city's hotels.
If Kansas wins this one its season will be extended by at least two games and possibly more. Even if they lost in the first game in the Western playoffs, the Jayhawkers would have to meet in the consolation game the night of the finals.
roared. Funck, Cadwalader, and then Funck again, swished long shots from way out as the quarter ended.
The second quarter saw the Fijis reduce the A.K. Psi. margin only one point. Halftime found the Alpha Kappa Psi's in front 15 to 12. The A.K. Psi' strengthened their lead by one point as the third quarter ended, and led 24 to 20.
Five minutes of the fourth period elapsed before the Psi's could counter against the air-tight defense of the Fijis. In the meantime, the Phi Gam's were making up for lost time. Long and Morris picked up a point piece at the free throw line. Hambric hit a beautiful bank shot and Long executed a Bob Allen jump shot to put the Phi Gam's ahead 26 to 24. Funck tallied on a free throw and followed up with an overhead shot.
Morris grabbed the lead again for the Phi Gam's with two charity tosses and Long hit another leaping shot to clinch the contest 30 to 27. "Red" Thompson gave the Fijis a scare in the final minute with a long looping shot from the center of the court. Funck and Johnson both missed easy shots in the last second. Either shot would have won the game for the Psi's. Top stars in a game of stellar performers were Funck, A.K. Psi; Healy and Long, Phi Gam's.
Phi Kappa Psi "B" captured the "B" team title by downing Kappa Sigma "B" 21 to 19 in an exciting contest. The box score:

Allen Praises Ebling
Kansas headquarters before and after the game will be Hotel King-kade.
Don Ebling, forward and co-captain of the basketball team, was given words of praise for his playing during the season by Coach F. C. Allen at an honorary dinner last night given by the Lawrence Co-op club at Weidmann's.
Coach Allen commented upon the fact the fact that the diminutive
Ebling had not been given a place on the all-star team selections, but that "with all due respects to the other members of the team, Don was the most valuable player on the Kansas team."
C. E. FERRIS
He added that Ebling had come to the University overshadowed by the fame of his all-American brother, Ray, but that he had earned the right to be called a great player in his own name.
DON EBLING
W. W. Davis, faculty Big Six representative, spoke after Coach Allen had introduced the members of the squad, and turned the complimentary remarks back toward Doctor Allen when he said, "The reason that Kansas is considered the basketball capital of the United States is because of our coach."
The dinner, attended by nearly 100 persons, is an annual affair sponsored by the Co-op club.
All men interested in varsity golf are urged to meet at 7:30 Monday night in the "K" room of Robinson gymnasium.
Weak Infield Increases Baseball Problem for K. U.
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
Building an infield will be the biggest problem that Coach Mike Getto will have to face in the next few weeks, as he seeks to lift the Kansas baseball team out of the cellar of the Big Six. The battery situation is fairly well taken care of already, but according to Getto every position in the infield is wide open. Several weak spots in the infield, combined with a poor hitting attack were chiefly responsible for the bad showing which the Jayhawkers made last season.
The baseball aspirants were still confined to the improvised field house under the stadium yesterday afternoon but if the weather continues to get warmer, Getto may have them outside next week. The Kansas coach continued his plea for more prospective ball players, today, although he said that he was confident of a larger turn-out with the coming of better weather conditions.
Bukaty Ineligible
Frank Bukaty, regular third baseman last season will not be eligible for baseball this year, leaving this spot to be filled. Lanky "Red" Thompson, who played both infield and outfield last spring may find his place in the hot corner. He has the makings and throwing arm of a third sacker, with a lot of peg in his long arm. Another prospect in this department is a newcomer, Oliver Edwards, who played in this spot on the Wilson, Ark. town team.
At the short stop position Getto may have a comer in Bob Hunt. Pre-season dope has it that Hunt may be just what is needed at this
At second base Getto has a wealth of untrated material. Bob Chilson will be making a bid for this spot. Another possibility is Darrell Haynes, who fielded the

The Editor's Letter
The editor of the Daily Kansan wishes to call the attention of contributors to the You Said It department to the established rule that letters to the editor must be limited to 300 words, and must be signed. A pen name may be used if the writer wishes, but no letter not bearing the writer's name and address will be published. The editor retains the right to determine whether to use a pen name.

Open Letter to Harris
Fred M. Harris
Chairman, Board of Regents
Dear Sir:
The Daily Kansan reported to the students of the University that there is a movement afoot among the regents to increase the activity fee here at K.U. to conform with that paid at other state schools, in particular, Manhattan.
I think that the students, without whose fees the University would be an impossibility, have a right to know if this proposed hike is going to include those benefits which are included on the ticket at other schools and which we are denied: the school yearbook, the school paper, and admission to all basketball games.
games.
By the time a student has bought these items that are omitted from the activity fee here, he has, in reality, paid out more in cash than students in other state schools. If the fees are to be raised here, they should be made to include these things.
JOE WEAVER.
(Editor's Note: A copy of this letter was sent to Mr. Harris by Mr. Weaver.)

To the Editor:
Politicians Want Support
It is with a sincere feeling of regret that I have finally come to the conclusion that the editorial page of the Daily Kansan is no longer viewed as a guide to student thinking. It has failed in its purpose insofar as it attempts to interpret University life and student problems.
problems.
Formerly students did read the editorial columns, but today those few who inadvertently turn to them find only line after line of meaningless words. If we wish to find a panacea for all the world's ills, we can read the New York Times or the St. Louis Globe-Dispatch. Why read the Kansan's interpretation of the same problems?
A college newspaper might well deal editorially for the most part with its own local problems and leave those broader aspects to metropolitan papers. Certainly we have enough ills on our own campus to merit at least some notice. Those who control the editorial policy of the Kansan either fail to see our own difficulties or refuse to admit that they are important enough to discuss. It is not unlikely that they are naive enough to believe that we are without fault, have attained perfection.
C. H. MULLEN
Come down to earth, please, the remainder of the year, and deal with us, the students, and the problems of the University. At least we would read what you have to say. To suffer continuance of the status quo is to admit that that part of the Kansan is waste space, poor training for editorial writers, and matter the students never read.

How to Stay Out
The black clouds of war are getting darker and it is only a matter of a short time before the U.S. will be in this present war, unless we organize the will of the people to stay out. The sentiment of the people can be found in the recent Gallup poll, in which approximately 96 per cent of the population voted to stay out of war.
To the Editor:
Formation of Stay Out of War organizations will help. These groups can use slogans for peace as a guide for our actions. What little democracy we exercise in time of peace is smashed to atoms in time of
How to organize these people beyond the stage of having just a sentiment for peace is quite a problem, but it can and must be done.

war; therefore, we must use our seven-league-boots in our daily tasks of keeping the U.S. out of the war.
Asks Synagogue
To the Editor:
Several of us students who are Jewish feel that there should be some provision made for us and our religion in Lawrence. We want to observe the Passover, but we cannot because there is no synagogue here.
here.
We therefore suggest that, in the interests of religious tolerance and equality, there be made arrangements for a place of religious worship for Jews in Lawrence. It would be little trouble, and would certainly aid Jewish students a great deal.
It might easily be taken care of by someone in the Kansas Bible College, who would perhaps have more interest in this sort of thing than anyone else. Establishment of a synagogue need not be a permanent thing unless so desired; we want it primarily for observance of Easter.

Hill Has 35 Buildings Everyone Knows Main 24
By Mary Ellen Sullivan, c'40
Do you know that there are 35 buildings on the University campus,17 statues,flag poles,and the like,and 8 general outside sport facilities.
Of the 35 buildings, no doubt, all know the 25 main buildings which include all the halls, the library, the Watkins Memorial hospital, two museums, the Union building, and the Observatory. But do you know that back of Fowler shops are located four buildings; the Greenhouse; the Power Plant, on which is our class whistle and from which plant runs a branching tunnel to many of the campus buildings; a tin shed built especially to store things from Dyche Museum while Dyche is being repaired; and the Medical School Vivarium more commonly known as the "animal house".
Do you know that back of Watkins Memorial Hospital is a modern home for the student staff of the hospital, and that located in Rosedale, Kansas are the Eleanor Taylor hospital and other buildings where University medical students go to train?
Do you know that the Chancellor's new home is the beautiful old home of Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, and that the old home of the Chancellor is now a men's organized house? Not far from this organized house is the old Acacia House which is to be remodeled and will become an organized house for men on the Hill, the men's dormitory.
And do you know that the University has a high school, Oread High, where students in the School of Education must go to practice teach before they can get teaching certificates? The last unnamed building is the smallest, the summer house located near Potter's lake.
Potter's lake is one of the eight mentioned sport facilities where students may skate in winter or possibly swim in summer. Surrounding the lake is the campus nine-hole-golf course Just east and north of the course are the stadium, the baseball field and bleachers, and tennis courts. Other tennis courts are located south of the inside handball court, a greenish flat-roofed board building immediately behind Robinson gymnasium.
The 17 bric-a-brac include a sun dial, two bird baths, three stone benches, four bulletin boards, the Campus map, four flag poles, Uncle Jimmy Green's statue, and "Ye Hard Working Pioneer Boy" statue.
ROCK CHALK TALK
BY REGINALD BUXTON
At the Coop banquet for the basketball team at Wiedemann's "Phog" Allen was introducing his boys and had nearly finished. He was about to sit down when he noticed a rather good looking lad gazing wistfully at him and he caught himself to add: "I want to give you a boy who has more guts, more sense, and more determination than his dad: Bobby Allen."
★
Competition for Henry Werner: W. W. Davis was introduced at the banquet as a "man who tells Swiss fish stories." Judging from the story he told at the banquet, his fish stories may not be as "tall" as Werner's but they're infinitely more raffish.
Scientists say that hot air travels faster than cold. Perhaps that's why false rumors spread so rapidly, suggests the Glasgow Missourian.

Believe it or not department: Lillian Russell, queen of the glamour girls from 1879 to 1912, owned a $3,900 corset. She weighed 150 pounds and had an imperfect 33 inch waist. Which proves that you had to have something back of you in those days to be classed as an "oomph" girl.
Marjorie Cook, who up until the recount thought she had received only 20 votes in the W.S.G.A. election, found the story about the man who had run for sheriff and had received only his own and his wife's vote somewhat pertinent and amusing.
To go with the story, the man walked down the street the day after his disastrous defeat with a pair of guns strapped imposingly on his thighs. A citizen scrowled at his saying, "You don't have a right to wear guns; you weren't elected."
"Look neighbor," snapped the um happy one, "anyone with no more friends than I have needs guns."

Artel Metcalf checked into the hospital last night to have his appendix removed. That makes eight appendectomies in a week. The boys on the staff may not be enjoying it but it sure gives them an opportunity to cut up.
And the Sigma Chi Mask party with an Egyptian motif this weekend offers marvelous opportunities for some of the brothers to costume all up and stuff. Imagine Dick Mize as a mummy, all swathed up in bandages.
The best idea for the whole evening is the movement afoot for Bill Horton to paste a piece of adhesive tape over his mouth and come as the Sphinx.
The Sigma Chi's usually manage to select a costume note which will leave little to be desired in display- gemine pulchritude. Last year was a sarong party.
The Theta's found, after a little research, that the typical feminine Egyptian dress makes the Lamour garment look like long underwear.
And a brand new romance, one of the first of the usual spring rush, gains remarkable headway between Joe Morton at the Beta house and Kay Stinson. But in the meantime Joe is defending his bridge standing in the current tournament across the table from Anne Lewis.
Look for a batch of these pin hanging episodes from now on. There's nothing like the panic that comes with approaching graduation to help make up some lassies' minds. After all, what's the point in spending all nut money to go to school if you can't get something out of it?

"SPEED for bob-sledding thrills! S-L-O-W BURNING for smoking thrills!" says champion "Bucky" Wells
THEY'RE OFF! Streaking down the mile-long icy trough of the Mt. Van Hoeverenburg run at Lake Phacid, N. Y. with "Bucky" Wells driving. Fifteen breath-taking turns to go. Fifteen chances to taste the supreme thrills of speed. But in smoking it's different, very different. "It's slow burning that makes a cigarette tick with me," "Bucky" Wells says. And he means what he says, because slow-burning Camels have been his cigarette for ten years.
"ONE-TWO-BOB! ONE-TWO-BOB!" And, as the crew bobs, "Bucky" picks up speed...60-70-80 miles an hour, driving high on the glassy wall of ice as he swings the quarterton steel seld around the curve. But in the field of cigarettes, this during speedster gives the laurels to the quality of slow burning that he finds in Camels. You can tell by their mild, mellow taste that Camels burn cooler, slower—and scientists have confirmed this. (See panel, right.)

If you want to know how it feels to go 80 miles an hour on a racing bob-sled "Bucky" Wells of Keene Valley, N. Y. can tell you. He's done it plenty of times. He likes those speed-drills on a racing bob. But when it comes to cigarettes "Bucky" Wells is on the slow side...the slow-burning slide. That means Camel!
"Ive smoked Camels for years, and I know they burn slower," "Bucky" says. "There's cool comfort in a Camel. Mildness — more flavor. And — slow burning means extra smoking. Yes, penny for penny, Camels are the best cigarette buy. I'd walk a mile for a Camel!"
Why would anybody feel that way about his cigarette? Try a Camel and see. Camels are a matchless blend of costlier tobacco...slow-burning. They give more pleasure per puff, more puffs per pack.
In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested—slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to

Sifers Names Six Freshmen
Will Serve On Relays Committee
Six freshmen who will complete the 10-man student committee in charge of the Kansas Relays were announced yesterday by Sam Sifers, senior manager of the annual track event, scheduled for April 20.
From a list of 30 applicants the following men were chosen on the basis of scholarship and ability in this type of work: Dick Chubb, Verlyn Norris, John Tilson, Kenneth Nicolay, Chuck Elliott, and Byron Kern. Selections were made after the applicants had completed personal interviews with Sifers and E. R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education. The other students on the committee are: Larry Winn and Ernest Klema, juniors; Bob Eidson, Clint Kanaga, Fred Robertson, and Bob Woodward, sophomores.
By an elimination process which is used each year, one of the junior committeemen from the previous year is picked as senior chairman, two men from the previous year's four sophomores as junior committeemen, and four men from the previous year's six freshmen as sophomore committeemen.

A battling Kansas Jayhawker cage team bested the Oklahoma A. and M. Cowboys, 45-43 in an overtime period, to represent the Fifth district in the N.C.A.A. semi-final tournament, next weekend in Kansas City.
Last night's victory gave the Jayhawkers an edge over Henry Iba's team, each winning home court encounters prior to this tilt. The Aggies played Friday night in New York City where they defeated De Paul University 34-33 in the consolation game of an Invitational tournament held at Madison Square Garden.

meet the winner of the Eastern semi-final playoff for the N.C. A.A. championship. The Jayhawkers will fill out the four team bracket, along with Colorado University, Rice Institute, and Southern California University. No drawings have been made yet.
A technical foul robbed the Jayhawkers of a victory in the regulation length game. As the game neared its close Bob Allen was sent into the game, but because of the noise the officials did not hear the scorekeeper's whistle and called a technical foul on the Jayhawkers for having six men on the court. Eggleston made the charity toss for the Aggies and tied the score, sending the game into an extra period.

Third Count Shows Tie For Junior Secretary
The junior class hasn't a secretary.
The third recheck of the ballots yesterday revealed a tie vote of 88-88 for both Marjorie Cook, independent, c'42, and Mary Louise Baker, Sigma Kappa, c'42.
A special meeting of the W.S.G.A. Executive Council has been called for Monday afternoon at 3:30 in the Pine Room in the Memorial Union building, to decide what is to be done.
As a result of overlooking a group of ballots the first returns on the election were Baker, 76, Cook, 20.
A second count showed an 88-87 vote in favor of Baker.
Whether the tie will be broken and how will depend on the decision of the executive council.
"No other balloting is in any way affected by the contest for secretary of the junior class," said Velma Wilson, c40, retiring president of W.S.G.A. yesterday.

Play Clothes For Spring Are Versatile
"All work and no play" is a familiar axiom among women and this season they are going to do their playing in the smartest of togs. Collections of vacation clothes offer play suits, slacks, overalls and other outfits that are as carefully styled and tailored as a spring suit.
The dressiest of the new clothes are the colorful play suits with shorts and detachable skirts. They will be seen with or without skirt, for varied accosions. Most of the shorts this season are longer and fuller. Some have a definite flare and some hang boyishly straight.
Since these play suits, worn with a skirt, make suitable dresses for many occasions, they have been made as feminine as possible in nearly every known cotton wash material. Some of the very dressy ones are made of fine silk or sharkskin. Colors range all the way from baby pinks, blue, and yellows, to vivid reds, bright blues, and burnished gold. The patriotic theme is expressed in many red, white, and blue combinations.
These shorts outfits are varied in their style, some with three separate pieces, and some with shorts and skirt in one piece and with a detachable skirt. Pinafores in dainty checks and ginghams are frequently used, and the dirule skirts are still with us. Some of these sets, such as those with pert bolero jackets, are modeled after current dress styles.
Two Marry For 7th Time
Montgamery, Ala.—(UP)—A state health department survey of 1938 Alabama marriages discloses that: Two men married for the seventh time, two for the sixth time, 12 for the fifth time, 79 for the fourth time, 537 for the third time and 4,769 for the second time.

It's Hot! It's Cold! If You Don't Like the Weather, Wait an Hour
By "The Californian"
Forthwith is an hourly account of Kansas weather in the springtime; although the writer does not live in Kansas, the chronology is nevertheless written from an unbiased point of view:
7:00 a.m. "Ah, spring, good old spring!" yawns the writer, as he falls out of bed for the first time in ages without freezing solidly in the air halfway to the floor. "Hm, temperature is 78 degree. Yep, spring is here at last."
7:30 a.m.—Breakfast grabbed hurriedly, the writer scurries to the reading room for a glance at the morning paper. "Yep," he muses again, "spring is here; weather forecast is 'warmer today,' probably
8:00 a.m.—The writer prepares to heim off to classes, but, wait—what's this he sees out his window? Dash it all—snow! Screaming an oath something like "darn that dream" at the snowflakes, which by this time have formed a light film on the ground, the writer sheds his clothes, puts on his red flannels, flying suit, ear muffs, and snow-shoes and sets off for class on this lovely "spring" day.

Alpha Omricon Pi has a total of 49 chapters in the United States and 3 in Canada. The local chapter includes a total of thirty-one girls. Jean Klussman, fa'41, was recently elected president of the chapter for the following year. Other officers are: vice president, Betty Jack Jarrot, c'40; recording secretary, Eloise Pohl, fa'40; corresponding secretary, Ruth Mary Chandler, c'41; Panhellenic delegate, Millie Margaret Regier, c'41; and historian, Mary Garrison, c'40.
The sorority publishes a national magazine entitled "To Dragma". The national convention is held every two years, the last one in Pasadena, Calif., last summer, and the one for 1941 will be held in New Orleans. The national organization has charge of the Social Service work of the Frontier Nursing Service in the mountains of Kentucky,
Some of the more outstanding alumne members of Phi chapter include Mary Rose Barrons, '25, of the Chicago Civic Opera company, who has made great success on the radio and stage, Hacele Hedges, '35, owner of the Hacele marionette factory, Kansas City, Mo., and Dr. Patricia Hart Rhode, '18, of the American Board of Dertmatology in Philadelphia, Pa.
last part of a lecture on "How Climate Affects Human Behavior" and being convinced that there was something in it because he had already made up his mind to kill the weatherman, the writer gets out and loafs for the next hour.
11:20—By this time the snow (you haven't forgotten this is a "spring" day, have you?) has subsided and is melting. Temperature — 40 degree.
12:00 noon—the writer is developing a cough brought about by the cold wave and leaves class in convulsions. Would you believe, it when he steps outside there isn't any more snow. But now it's raining like thunder, the mud's deeper than the snow was, and the wind ras blown both flags off the towers of Fraser hall.
2:30—After an hour of a lecture dealing with "Principles and Problems of Free Love in the Spring-time," the writer wakes up for the second time of the day to find that the rain has turned to sleet and the roads are frozen over with ice. Temperature —15 degrees below zero.

Lee Dixon and Clyde Smith Orchestras Furnish Music
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
A musical cocktail, mixed by Lee Dixon and his band from the Hotel Nicollet in Minneapolis, was the highlight of the annual Men's Pan-Hellenic dance held in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building Friday night. Seventeen men from each of the 16 fraternities and their dates danced in a room brilliantly lighted by fraternity badges.
Last night the Sigma Chi's and their dates took a note from Cleopatra and the ancient Egyptians at their annual mysterious Sigma Chi masque. The modern sons and daughters of the Nile dared to the music of Clyde.

Final Vespers To Be Given In Hoch Today
More than 250 persons will take part in the final all-musical vespers of the year, which will be held at 4 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium.
The University Symphony Orchestra, the University Women's Glee Club, the Westminster A Cappella Choir and the University String Quartet will all appear on the program.
Among highlights of the services will be the first presentation of "Prelude and Fugue in C Minor," taken from a fragment of a Mozart melody found by Prof. Charles Sanford Skilton during his visit to Europe two years ago. The composition will be played by the Misses Ruth Orcutt and Allie Merle Conger, associate professors of piano.
Included in the three unaccompanied numbers offered by the Westminster A Cappella Choir will be the anthem "When Morning Gilds the Skies," written by the Kansas City composer, Powell Weaver, and dedicated to the Choir and its director, D. M. Swarthout.

7:00 a.m. next day—The weather forecast says, "for Kansas—Rain and warmer; an ideal spring day."

There will be those who will disagree with the 1940 Intramural all-star teams here selected. Take them for what they are worth. The writer's only claim to the validity of these players as all-stars is that he has witnessed nearly every basketball game played in intramurals this year. The players were chosen for their combined playing efforts during the regular schedule and the playoffs.
Glancing over the front line men, Co-capt. Harold Johnson, A. K. Psi, and Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam, were close to being tops. Johnson, 6 feet, 5 inches, the man who gathered 53 points in one game, is one of the greatest point-getters in intramural history. His average during the regular season was slightly over 17 points a game. In the first three playoff games with McKinley, Ed Hall, and Healy guarding him on successive nights, he gathered only six points per game but was outstanding in floor play. McSpadden Hard to Stop
McSpadden was probably the hardest man to stop in intramurals when the pressure was applied. He is a polished performer and high scorer for the Phi Gam powerhouse. Hambric, McSpadden's running mate; Bourne and Vandaveer, ace Buccaneers: Domingo, Comets; and Stoland, Beta, were the closest rivals for all-star honors at forward.
The center, Eugene Funk, was the quarterback of the A.K.Psi five and listed at the pivot position in his team's lineup. An uncanny shot, superb dribler, and skillful ball handler, Funk made up for lack in height by fight and fine play. McKinley, Phi Delt, was awarded the second team post over such worthy rivals as Ulrich, Buccaneers; Long, Phi Gam; and Westerhaus, Galloping Ghosts, because of his value to his team.
Healy The Best Guard
Co-capt, Chain Healy, Phi Gam, was the class of all the guards and close to being the best all-around performer in intramurals. Healy was the key man of the Phi Gam five, the player without a noticeable flaw. Excellent rebounder, good ball handler, and an accurate shotmaker averaging eight points a contest. Healy exhibited his splendid defensive ability in holding Bill Hall, Sig Alph to one goal and Johnson to two.
Bill Hall, Sig Alph, had a tight battle to win his position over such standouts as Ed Hall, Delta Chi; Arbuckle, Phi Psi; Coffin and Fournier,
Galloping Ghosts. Hall was a great long shot artist and one of the clearest of all cagers in his defensive work. Ed Hall's early season play cost him the first team post he held last year while Coffin's lack of scoring hurt his chances.
Second Battle In Cage Playoff Tomorrow Night
The second game of the intramural basketball playoff between the Phi Gam's and the A. K. Psi's will get underway tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Robinson gymnasium.
The Phi Gam's won the first game, 30 to 29, and can become the champions by winning tomorrow night. If the Businessmen win, a third game will be played Tuesday night to determine the winner.
The battle for the "C" team title between the Phi Delt's and the Phi Psi's will be played a 7 o'clock tomorrow night instead of 8 as was formerly scheduled.

Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
The West is going to have four red-hot teams in the semifinals of the N.C.A.A.affair to be held in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Friday and Saturday nights.
Besides this district's representative, which was settled last night at Oklahoma City and which you are all familiar with, here are some cold facts on the other three teams in the running.
Southern California has won 19 and lost 2; averaged $48\frac{1}{2}$ points per game; held its opponents to 36 points a contest; and the starting five has only man over 6 feet. Dale Sears, the center, is 6 feet 2 inches.
Rice Institute has won 21, and lost 3; averaged 55 points a game; held its opponents to an average of 42; and has two men over six feet. Levi Craddock, forward and captain, is

The Jayhawkers may not have the best team in the field, but Coach Bill Hargiss will have the most men on hand when track stars from this sector gather in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium tomorrow night for the Missouri Valley A.A.U. invitational meet.
Proceeds will go to the Finnish relief fund and to make matters even several of the outstanding runners will be going after one of the Finns. Munski and Mehl in Race
In the feature race of the evening such domestic products as Glenn Cunningham, Walter Mehl, and John Munski will be trying to keep up with Taisto Maki, the Finnish runner who is barnstorming his way around the country, running anything from a mile up.

No Outfield Worries
If baseball coach Mike Gotto had only his outfield to worry about he would be a much happier man today. He must build a new infield this year, but in the outer-garden there is a wealth of experienced material.
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
Getto was much impressed with the hustle displayed by his men. With Knute Kresie, "Red" Dugan, and Larry Smith, a newcomer from
the East, tossing them in from the mound, a long hitting session was conducted Friday. Dugan looks ready for a good season, and Kresie, a sophomore, is improving daily. Given support from the field Knute should do a good job of hand-cuffing Big Six sluggers. Smith, who pitched and played third for Exeter, an eastern "pep" school last year, was out for the first time Friday. Battle for Outfield Berths
In the outfield there will be a battle for the three positions between at least six good players. Miller Cameron, speedy football back and a sophomore, will be a strong contender for one of the outfield posts. He spent last summer in the outfield for a team in Wichita. Larry Hensley, one of the three returning members of last year's team should be a good bet

Jack Sands, first baseman last year, will begin reporting at first base at the close of the basketball season. "Red" Thompson, utility man last year, will begin his spring training tomorrow.

A Southpaw Candidate
A dark horse for a shot at a position in the grassy spaces is Henry Horak, who fielded for the Milgram team in the Kansas City Ban-Johnson league last summer. He has yet to report for practice, Getto said yesterday.
Harry Reece, who played with the Scandia Merchants' team last summer, is another contender for a position in the outfield, as are speedy southpaw Dean Martin, who fielded for Princeton town team last summer and Orville Kretzmeier.
"Booner" Collins, former American Legion player, and Cramer, 1 new men, came out for the first time Friday, trying to break in at second base.
Ed Hall, last season's receiver, isn't eligible for baseball this year. If either Cadwalder or Suagee go into right field the other choice behind the bat will probably be Monte Merkle, who just got out of the hospital Frida .
With the arrival of the long-petited spring weather the Jaywalker team will be drilling daily from now on. Coach Getto will be getting in a lot of batting practice, because he hopes to build up the
Kansas Wins—
(Continued from page one) The official who called the violation was Parke Carroll.
The margin of victory came in a couple of free throws as Oklahoma A. & M. fought desperately to wrestle the ball from the Jayhawkers. Dick Harp added the forty-fourth point and the final tally came on a free toss by Howard Engleman.
Howard Engleman won scoring honors for the Jayhawkers with three goals from the field and five points from the free throw line. Miller and Allen were close behind with 10 points. Eggleston collected 11 points to lead the Cowboys.
To Hold Playoff InBridge Tourney
Because the scores in the final round of the bridge tournament held in the Memorial Union building were so close, a play-off will be necessary to select the winner from one of four teams.
The scores were: Emmet Park, b'41, and Fred Lake, b'41, 40½; Bill O'Shea, c'40, and Jim Morris, c'41, 40; LeRoy Fugitt, gr., and Lloyd Elledge, e'41, 39½; Malcolm Miller, c'42, and Clarence Miller, c'43, 39.
As the margin of victory was so indecisive, the teams will meet Monday afternoon and night and play 24 boards or eight boards each pair. The scores will still be relatively close but a definite winner can be determined.

FRED: "Deliver me from the girl who puts her head upon my chest so that every time I breathe I inhale a wisp of a curl . . . From a partner who casts a flirtatious eye over your shoulder, sizing up the rest of the musculine contingent . . . From the exhibitionistic girl who isn't happy unless she's screaming dance number requests to the orchestra leader, accompanied by facial contortions which she thinks are alluring".
CINEMAS DE LOS MAYORALS
ELEANOR: "Spare me the smart-alek who asks, 'Lend us the body for the next dance, will ya?' And I just love the male who believes he is the romantic type and insists on piloting you to a corner for just one little kiss; the lads who chew gum in your ear and beat out the dance tempo on your back. Dancing is a very pleasurable form of enjoyment. Ballroom bores put me in a murderous frame of mind. There ought to be a law against them."
FRED: "I think girls are the worst offenders in the matter of dance deportment. If a girl's partner isn't dancing just right to suit her she should try to reach an understanding off the floor and not attempt to lead him while on it. I also dislike the type of girl who wants to be the first on the floor, who attempts fancy breaks and specialty steps without warning me of her intentions. After all a broken leg's not funny".
ELEANOR: "I just adore the man who, at the end of a number after the others have left the floor, keeps me out there while he applauds loudly for an encore. And the boy who tries to romance me by singing a love song in my ear. He's just too ducky! And that precious fellow who points out all the celebrities and insists on keeping up a running fire of comment so that I cannot follow the beat of the music. I drop him, quickly. I'm really in favor of a set of rules for ballroom etiquette and their strict observance by both parties".

TB Drive Needs Action by City
Public health is a matter usually taken for granted until some incident occurs which brings out its vital importance in sharp relief. Such an incident occurred recently with the discovery of an active case of tuberculosis in a fraternity dish washer. Subsequent examination of thirty-six students exposed showed that sixteen of the students, who had reacted negatively to the tuberculin examination upon entering the University, had positive reactions. Of twelve other students who showed negative reactions only last September, six now react positively.
Steps were immediately taken to provide, for this year at least, examination of food handlers in fraternity, sorority, and other organized houses. Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, volunteered the facilities of the service for examination of both student and non-student food handlers. The Men's and Women's Pan-Hellenic councils voted to assess a fine of fifty dollars on any fraternity or sorority house which failed to have its food handlers examined for tuberculosis. Mrs. Seba Eldridge, president of the Douglas county tuberculosis association, pledged the support of the organization. Several Lawrence restaurants requested the examination of employees.
Thus, approximately one-fourth of the students at the University will be given protection through the tuberculin testing of food handlers. But the matter is more far-reaching than that. Every student is entitled to health protection—to permanent protection, insofar as infection from tubercular food handlers is concerned.
Examination of food handlers was begun in 1937 by the health service with the cooperation of the Pan-Hellenic councils. Eighty-three workers were examined in 1938, but interest flagged and only twelve examinations were made last year. No pressure was placed on food handlers last fall by organization officials and no examinations were made.
What protection students will receive for the remainder of the year is temporary and limited. To be effective, a measure of this kind must be compulsory and must include all eating establishments frequented by students and townspeople alike. Adequate examination of food handlers would include a tuberculin test, a chest x-ray for positive reactors, and further laboratory tests, including sputum examination and examination of gastric contents.
Although the present methods of examining food handlers will act as a temporary stop-gap in curbing what might easily have become an even more serious situation, action by the commissioners of the City of Lawrence is necessary if any lasting or far-reaching health protection is to be obtained. The enactment of a city ordinance requiring the examination of food handlers at least once each year, and the appropriation of sufficient funds to carry out its enforcement is the only solution.
ROCK CHALK TALK
BY REGINALD BUXTON·
Memos of a fifth nighter: Hollywood has packed more scenes of grandeur and breath-taking beauty into "Northwest Passage" than any flicker we have ever seen . . . . Major Rogers hardened his men for the slaughter; nowadays they fatten them . . . Could Rogers and those of like ilk maintained their zealous ambition to break away through the wilderness had they known that Dust Bowlers and Okies would be making the trek in the 20th century
with somewhat less happy ideals?
We went over both the Northwest and the Middlewest passages a few years back—by way of the "rods." We saw few Indians with the exception of a saloon-full of drunken bucks in Cutbank, Montana. But there were plenty of railroad "bulls" (policement to you guys). We'll still match Cheyenne Slim, the toughest, gun-whipping "bull" alive until some hardcase bindle-sills made the trip

Patron Saint Of Ireland Was Really a Scot
Now take the good Saint Patrick, there is a fine example of how a person can come up in the world. For is it not a great honor to have a day in one's memory and to be considered by the Irish people and the Engineers as their patron saint?
Bv Art O'Donnell, c'41
The only really sad part about this case is that the poor lad Patrick was not of Irish birth. He was born in Scotland somewhere about the year 373. At the tender age of 16, young Pat was captured by a group of Irish sailors and brought to Ireland, where he soon lost his Scottish burr and learned the good Irish brogue. Of course, as he was only classified as a slave and not treated to the best of Irish hospitality, he ran off to France, where he found refuge in a monastery.
After this the Saint spent his life establishing some 300 churches of Roman Catholic faith, administering 12,000 baptisms, and performing a goodly number of ordainings. Although there were no old age pensions at that time, he retired at the age of 71.
It is said that Saint Patrick could hold his own in a fight with any "paddy," for he had some uncanny ability to cause darkness to descend on his opponent, and without the aid of a shillelah, too.
Life went on smoothly for Pat in the monastery where he studied and became a bishop. Then one sleepless night a vision came to the good man, telling him he ought to return to the Emerald Isle and chase out the snakes and toads of Druidism. So with but a blessing, the good man was off to the land of O'Briens, O'Haras and Mulvaneyes, where he made friends and converts of the ancestry of the present Irish generation. So came about Pat's cleaning of Erin, for which he was wined and dined and otherwise honored through all the land.
Sure and its bad cess to you colleens and sons of Irish parentage that don't wear a bit-o-green on this day in honor of that good man.

YOU SAID IT
Envisions Faculty Fashions
To the Editor:
Seems to me that it would be a good idea to have the entire senior class wear caps and gowns all the time during the entire spring semester of their graduating year.
This practice would add a great deal to the color, tradition, and ceremony of our University and its campus life, and would at the same time provide many fond memories for students to lock back upon, years after graduation.
It might be well to require the same practice of all faculty members, or at least of all members of the University senate. They might not appreciate it, but it would be much more dignified for them. After all, aren't we as good as large Eastern schools?

Buy the Bookstore!
To the Editor:
HAROLD CHILDE.
A recent issue of the Arkansas Traveler, student paper at the University of Arkansas, reports that that school has purchased outright the book store that has been operating on their campus. Now under administration control, students at Arkansas U. expect more equitable treatment in purchasing of books.
That school has set an example our University might well follow. We have had political blowing about a co-op book store, or about some kind of change in the present set-up, for several years all to no avail. the administration here were to buy out the book store and get rid of it, damage it, the issue would be settled once and for all.

After spending a good deal of time and money with and on Marjorie Siegrist, Carlos Vogeler was rewarded with a stag bid to the Gamma Phi party.
Fame comes to the State U. Frank Bolin is bringing Kansas City's White Orchid Girl, Susanne Stocking, to the Phi Psi buffet supper next Tuesday.
Vogeler's Kappa Sig brothers, ever on the alert to make life a little brighter for the fellows, have posted a large sign on the bulletin board with the touching sentiment, "To paris Vogeler, the $40 Bid Stal."
The general concensus at the Gamma Phi house seems to be that Carlos should learn that when one buys a ticket on the nose, he should cover up with a little to show. Especially if it's a $40 ticket.
Trying for a Beaux Arts degree?
Or maybe just trying for an impression.
The Pan-Hel party Friday night was a quiet affair compared to former Hellenic dances. And the band, in spite of a quick change from George Hamilton to Lee Dixon, served very well in playing dance music and like that.
Professor Brown, known fondly to some of his students as "Abnormal Brown," told his class in Social Psychology Friday that he would ask questions on the mid-semester examination about a book long assigned for outside reading.
When a young lady asked him to explain a point mentioned in the book Brown said, "It's been so long
since I read the book I don't believe I can clear up such a minute point for you right now."
Then he scratched his head, looked a little sheepish, and mumbled, "Come to think of it, I don't believe I've read the book at all!"
Looks like the professor has as much cramming to do before he grades that quiz as his students have to do before they take it.
And another thing. A college paper informs us that the collegiates of the University of Arkansas really swung out the other night to the music of Jimmy Dorsey, at fifty cents a throw.

Combined Glee Clubs Give Varied Program
In a program ranging from "Yes, We Have No Bananas" to Wagner's "Pilgrims' Chorus" the combined University Men's and Women's Glee Clubs were heard in Hoch auditorium last night by an audience of about 700.
The "Yes, We Have No Bananas" theme came during a skit by the Men's Glee Club in which Jack Nelson, gr., was introduced as Doctor Williams, head of the department of music at the University of Manchester, Nelson, alias Dr. Williams, traced the history of music from the grunt of the cave man to modern music, and came to the conclusion that music is really going backwards.
Nelson was assisted in the skit by two quartets from the Men's Club made up of Stanley MeLOd. c'43; J. D. Ramsey, c'40; Richard Hill. c'40; John Risco, c'40; Robert Wiley. b'40; Spencer Bayles. c'42; and Dwight Kurth, e'40.
Among the sacred numbers presented, the first, "The Heavens Are
Declaring" (Beethoven), sung by the combined glee clubs, and the last, "Pilgrims' Chorus" (Wagner), were outstanding.
The Women's Glee Club was effective in "The Last Night" (Clokey), "The Waltz of the Flowers" (Tschakowski), and "Country Gardens" (English folk song). A special sextet from the Women's Glee Club sang two novelty numbers, "A.B.C." (Mozart) and "Peter Piper" (Bridge). Also novel was "The Humming Bird" (Weaver), which featured Hortense Harris, fa'41, as soloist against a humming background by the Women's Glee Club.

The preliminary hearing of John Claflin, c'40, who faces four charges in connection with a series of fires at the Phi Delta Theta house last fall, may be held Saturday, March 23, instead of March 22, County Attorney Milton P. Beach indicated this morning.
Claflin's hearing in the Douglas county district court room is still scheduled for Friday, but Beach said that because of complications, the hearing would probably be held at 10 a.m. Saturday. Justice of the Peace Robert Oyler will be on the bench.
Beach granted Reuben Henry Brown, Jr., c'42, 21-year-old Negro house man at the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, who was arrested March 7 and charged with theft of instruments from the Holyfield Music store, a two week's continuance. Originally scheduled for March 20, Brown's preliminary will be held April 3, at 10 a.m. in Oyler's office. Brown faces charges of grand larceny and second degree burglary.
Beach said that the hearing of Gentry North, who admitted burglary at three University fraternity houses Feb. 12, would again be continued. North is charged with first degree burglary and grand larceny for thefts from the Sigma Chi, Delta Chi, and Kappa Sigma fraternities. Beach said that the 19-year-old youth was admitted to the State Psychopathic hospital at Osawatomie.

The Minnesota Daily reports that traffic jams have been getting worse since their enrollment took an upward jump this quarter. Malcolm S. MacLean, director of the college, found the other day that it took him 7 minutes to squeeze from the front door to his offices on the second floor.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
This season you must choose your hat to match your costume. To accompany tailored suits select a hat with a small brim. Sailors are modish; and postilions often fold their brims close to their sides in an adaption of the coachman's hat.
For soft suits, afternoon frocks,
and dressy coats, pillboxes and flower toques are suitable. Ostrich
plumes and big ribbon bows curvet
high in the front of sailors to be
an outstanding fashion note of
1940. Plaid ribbon is also good as
trimming and some hats are fash-
ioned entirely out of this material.
Silk jersey adapts itself to intricate
and novel arrangements which drape
over the band and form snoods and
scarfs in one.
Flowers will bloom more and more lavishly as the season advances. Already they weight the fronts of hats with tall masses of exuberant color, or sit on top of crowns or grow over the edge of brims. A single flower may nestle under a swirl of veiling or a row of small blossoms may peer out from underneath a brim, sometimes combined with a tiny ruche of ribbon.
Black, brown and navy are the basic colors, but there are many more fascinating shades. A new grayed wisteria is being advocated for wear with navy or brown costumes. A hue named roseberry is good with bright blue and the favorite combination of light blue and dusty pink promises to continue to be popular.

Track Talk
By Larry Winn
With the hope that track can be brought back into the spotlight it occupied in this section of the country ten years ago, I attended the Missouri Valley A. A. U. Indoor Relays last night. They were held under the auspices of the Finnish Relief Committee in Kansas City, Mo.
The supposedly big drawing card was the special invitational world's championship two-mile race, featuring the famous "Flying Finn," Taisto Maki, who is touring this country to drum up some cash for the Finnish cause. With him was his famous manager, the "Phantom Finn," Paavo Nurmi, who is probably the greatest distance runner of all time.
Runners that were supposed to give him the most competition were Glenn Cunningham, who needs no introduction in this column; Archie San Romani, of Emporia; and an outsider or supposedly a "has been" named Walter Mehl, of Wisconsin.
The unknown came through to defeat the ruddy-faced Finn by a good foot in what was one of the best races ever staged in this section of the country. After Maki had set a fairly fast pace, followed in order by Cunningham, San Romani, and Mehi; the former Emporia flash dropped out on the 17 lap. Not until next to last lap did the Wisconsin "swede" start his "kick." He passed a fast tiring Glenn and started for the "Flying Finn." On the last lap the two were matching each other stride for stride, but with about 100 feet to go, it seemed as if the Finn was going to keep his famous record clear, the stubborn Mehl challenged again about 20 feet from the tape and passed the fighting Maki just as both hit the finish line. The time of 9:05.5 seconds was comparatively slow in that all three runners had run faster two-mile races before.
Paavo Nurmi then showed the small crowd how he had broken almost every world's distance record from two to six miles. His perfect time and perfection of rhythm were still obvious, even at the age of 43. He jogged six laps, or a half-mile in 2.18 seconds, which is still plenty good for that distance.
Track Squad Rates High In K.C. Meet
By Jay Simon
The Jayhawker track squad turned in a classy exhibition amid classy surroundings last night at the Missouri Valley A. A. U. carnival in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
Firsts in two relays, a third in another, J. R. Jones' blue ribbon in the broadjump, Bill Beven's tie for top honors in the pole vault, and thirds by Darrell Mathes in the 60-yard dash and Charles Toberan in the mile were the collection of places racked up by the Kansans.
Team points were not figured on the meet, but if computations were made on a 10-6-2 basis for relays and 5-3-1 for individual events, the Jayhawkers ranked second with 33 points to Pittsburg Teachers' 36.
The Kansas sprint medley team, composed of Hamilton, Mathes, Greene, and Thompson, outfooted a speedy Emporia state quartet to win the 14 lap race in 2:53.9.
In the University mile relay Kansas was the only team entered and was awarded first place without running.
Training
Beven did his best vaulting of the season when he crossed the bar at 12 feet 9 inches to tie with Wilson of Tarkio. He barely missed his last try at 13 feet.
Jones, Kansas' Big Six indoor broadjump champion, leaped 22 feet 7 and seven-eighths inches to nose out Schumitzky of Missouri for first place.
Mathes won his heat in qualifying for the 60, then placed third to Woody Kramer of Pittsburg and Timmons of Baker in a 64 race. Mathes was only a scant foot behind as all three finished under a blanket. In the open mile Toberan finished third behind McMillian of Wichita and Zarker of Emporia.
In the feature event of the evening Glenn Cunningham, the former Jayhawk flyer, went out of his distance to run the two-mile with Taisto Maki, Walter Mehl, and Archie San Romani and finished only 15 yards back of Mehl and Maki in a fast 9:05.5 race.
For 22 of the 24 laps, it was Maki,
Cunningham, and Mehl in that order.

Gam's Cinch Intramural Championship
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Phi Gamma Delta captured the 1940 intramur. l basketball championship last night by turning back a fine Alpha Kappa Psi five 36 to 32. The Phi Gam's won the first game of the series last Thursday 30 to 29.
Eight free throws in the final quarter proved to be the deciding factor in the Phi Gam's impressive triumph. Larry McSpadden sank five of them. The A.K. Psi's led for three quarters but were swept aside by the Phi Gam's whirlwind finish.
With "Red" Thompson leading the way, the A.K. Psi outfit moved in the lead in the first quarter 6 to 4, and maintained their margin at halftime 12 to 11. A tight third quarter found the businessmen in front 21 to 19.
Phi Kappa Psi "C" won the "C"
team title, downing Delta Theta
"C" 31 to 22. Brown and Horner
paced the Phi Psi attack with 15
and 10 points respectively.

Track Talk
By Larry Winn
With the hope that track can be brought back into the spotlight it occupied in this section of the country ten years ago, I attended the Missouri Valley A. A. U. Indoor Relays last night. They were held under the auspices of the Finnish Relief Committee in Kansas City, Mo.
The supposedly big drawing card was the special invitational world's championship two-mile race, featuring the famous "Flying Finn," Taisto Maki, who is touring this country to drum up some cash for the Finnish cause. With him was his famous manager, the "Phantom Finn," Paavo Nurmi, who is probably the greatest distance runner of all time.
Runners that were supposed to give him the most competition were Glenn Cunningham, who needs no introduction in this coium; Archie San Romani, of Emporia; and an outsider or supposedly a "has been" named Walter Mehl, of Wisconsin.
The unknown came through to defeat the ruddy-faced Finn by a good foot in what was one of the best races ever staged in this section of the country. After Maki had set a fairly fast pace, followed in order by Cunningham, San Romani, and Mehl; the former Emporia flash dropped out on the 17 lap. Not until next to last lap did the Wisconsin "swede" start his "kick." He passed a fast tiring Glenn and started for the "Flying Finn." On the last lap the two were matching each other stride for stride, but with about 100 feet to go, it seemed as if the Finn was going to keep his famous record clear, the stubborn Mehl challenged again about 20 feet from the tape and passed the fighting Maki just as both hit the finish line. The time of 9:05.5 seconds was comparatively slow in that all three runners had run faster two-mile races before.
Paavo Nurmi then showed the small crowd how he had broken almost every world's distance record from two to six miles. His perfect time and perfection of rhythm were still obvious, even at the age of 43. He jogged six laps, or a half-mile in 2.18 seconds, which is still plenty good for that distance.
Track Squad Rates High In K.C. Meet
By Jay Simon
The Jayhawker track squad turned in a classy exhibition amid classy surroundings last night at the Missouri Valley A. A. U. carnival in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
Firsts in two relays, a third in another, J. R. Jones' blue ribbon in the broadjump, Bill Beven's tie for top honors in the pole vault, and thirds by Darrell Mathes in the 60-yard dash and Charles Toberan in the mile were the collection of places racked up by the Kansans.
Team points were not figured on the meet, but if computations were made on a 10-6-2 basis for relays and 5-3-1 for individual events, the Jayhawkers ranked second with 33 points to Pittsburgh Teachers' 36.
The Kansas sprint medley team, composed of Hamilton, Mathes, Greene, and Thompson, outfooted a speedy Emporia State quartet to win the 10 lap race in 253.9.
In the University mile relay Kansas was the only team entered and was awarded first place without running.
Training.
Beven did his best vaulting of the season when he crossed the bar at 12 feet 9 inches to tie with Wilson of Tarkio. He barely missed his last try at 13 feet.
Jones, Kansas' Big Six indoor broad jump champion, leaped 22 feet 7 and seven-eighths inches to nose out Schumitzky of Missouri for first place.
Mathes won his heat in qualifying for the 60, then placed third to Woody Kramer of Pittsburg and Timmons of Baker in a 6.4 race. Matches was only a scant foot behind as all three finished under a blanket. In the open mile Toberan finished third behind McMillian of Wichita and Zarker of Emporia.
In the feature event of the evening Glenn Cunningham, the former Jayhawk flyer, went out of his distance to run the two-mile with Taisto Maki, Walter Mehl, and Archie San Romani and finished only 15 yards back of Mehl and Maki in a fast 9:05.5 race.
For 22 of the 24 laps, it was Maki,
Cunningham, and Mhl in that order.

Gam's Cinch Intramural Championship
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Phi Gamma Delta captured the 1940 intramural basketball championship last night by turning back a fine Alpha Kappa Psi five 36 to 32. The Phi Gam's won the first game of the series last Thursday 30 to 29.
Eight free throws in the final quarter proved to be the deciding factor in the Phi Gam's impressive triumph. Larry McSpadden sank five of them. The A.K. Pasi's led for three quarters but were swept aside by the Phi Gam's whirlwind finish.
With "Red" Thompson leading the way, the A.K. Psi outfit moved in the lead in the first quarter 6 to 4, and maintained their margin at halftime 12 to 11. A tight third quarter found the businessmen in front 21 to 19.
Phi Kappa Psi "C" won the "C" team title, downing Phil Delta Theta "C" 31 to 22. Brown and Horner paced the Phi Psi attack with 15 and 10 points respectively.

Curtail Federal Profit to Aid Private Business
Some expert economists and a greater number of small investment bankers have begun believing that the United States has hit a permanent state of stagnation as far as big business is concerned. The solution to the situation, if one can be found, lies in persuading persons with surplus funds to invest in business. In order to give these key business men an incentive to invest in business, it may be necessary for the government to do away with some of its profits and give private businesses a chance once more.
Principal arguments used by those who say the United States will never again revive its business industry are these: (1) private investment would revive if government would stop placing restraints on business and refrain from taxing away most of the profits when there are profits, and (2) private investment can never revive because there is no longer much chance for private profit, for (a) population growth is slower, (b) most of the national savings are now in the hands of banks, insurance companies, and institutions which cannot take normal business risks anyway, and (c) no new industries requiring funds are appearing.
All available statistics point to the fact that corporations, as a group, fail to register high enough earnings to attract the investment capital needed to make our economic machine run smoothly. Even more dismal is the evidence that the average small corporation has few or no earnings at all. There is little incentive for idle money to compete for available profit.
Whether or not government policies are responsible, it is clear they are now doing nothing to ease the situation. Federal income and excess profits taxes, state and local property taxes, business privilege levies, and pay-roll taxes to support the social security program bear heavily on little businesses and cut the profits of corporations as a whole in half. Furthermore, investment in tax-exempt government securities yields investors more return with less risk.
The Treasury, however, would be willing to use a double-edged sword to cut away this impediment to investment. Officials have suggested lower surtaxes on excess profits as well as the abandonment of the tax-exemption plan as applied to Government bonds, on the theory that if government would take a thinner slice of income, individuals would try to cut themselves bigger slices.
Experts estimate that the federal government would lose $44,800,000 in tax revenue by lowering the top surtax rate from 75 percent to 50 percent. To tax securities which are now tax-exempt would cost the treasury from $19,-000,000 to $50,000,000 in higher interest rates. These losses, would be more than offset by gains of from $179,000,000 to $337,000,000 which would result fro mtaxes on government bonds.
These calculations indicate the Federal government would get more revenue by trying to induce individuals to invest in private business
★★
instead of in government securities. To make private investment still more attractive by definitely encouraging business operations might prove more difficult, but statistics suggest the experiment may be worth the effort.
Forum Basis of American Life
Three forces, city school scandals, governmental programs for adult education, and the increased promotion of democratic rule, have stimulated the public forum of late. These movements possibly may build this form of group discussion into an American institution, for this combination vitally touches free speech, respect of rights and opinions, and other concrete liberties to which Americans have held tenaciously.
Schools always have been the center of public interest, for national progress has rested greatly with the education of youth. Recently revealed irregularities in St. Louis city schools, it is declared, might have been averted had public education been the subject of public discussion. Instead, officials of that city found it simple to keep the public eye blind to mismanagement of school affairs. Similarly, events in Kansas City, Missouri, have led to an open forum on the future of the public schools and their set-up in that municipality.
Governmental attempts to activate adults toward wider thinking have had modern birth. Relief officials, to aid unemployed in rationalizing their distress, have set up discussion groups wherein anyone can express himself on a wide range of subjects. Thus liberally, the half-forgotten is now acquiring a broader knowledge and a richer life.
The last of the trio, the impetus given to the upholding of American ways of living, has come largely through the use of forums. Instigators have found that forum discussion achieves leadership, organization, and more intelligent talk. Group discussion can cross-section community life and thought, sum up agreements and disagreements of the people. As a result, uniting citizens in forum fashion will re-interpret the old definition of democracy in terms of concrete experiences. Making abstractions into real life will help the forum-goer gain a deeper confidence in the superiority of a society whose very existence depends upon the revitalizing of these abstractions into life itself.

The 11 student cast members of the new Dramatic Club show "Holiday" are contemplating a short vacation since Rolla Nuckles called rehearsals for both Wednesday and Thursday of this week.
'Holiday' Cuts East's Vacation
Next week the cast will go into strenuous practice for a special performance before high school thespians here at the drama festival March 29. The following Friday "Holiday" will be given a one-nighter on the Wichita University campus. The show then opens its regular four-night run in Treeser theater on April 8.
The sets are now completed and most of the furniture and properties are done, according to Don Dixon, builder and stage manager for the production.
Sally Lou Connell, fa43, replaced Mary Noel, in the role of Susan Potter in the play. Connell has been in rehearsal with the rest of the cast for the past two weeks.
What with three pins put out in a week it looks like the Pi Phi's are doing better in placing their girls than the Employment Bureau.
Mrs. R. N. Palmer Gains Freedom
Mrs. Wilma Palmer, wife of Robert N. Palmer, was released from the Douglas county jail Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Palmer, who had served 25 days of the 30-day sentence given her Feb. 21 when she pleaded guilty to a possession of liquor charge, was paroled by Judge Hugh Means. Judge Means also waived Mrs. Palmer's $100 fine which accompanied the 30-day sentence. Five days of her jail sentence had been deducted for good behavior
Indian Political Leader To Speak Here Tuesday
Kemaldevi, a prominent woman political leader of India, will speak on "India and the War" in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall at 3:30 o'clock next Tuesday afternoon, it was announced today.
Kamaladevi, a leader in the cause of Indian independence is not expected to present the English side of that particular issue. As a representative of India at the congress of women's international alliance, she should speak authoritatively for a large part of India.
Race on Ticket Sale Nears End
At Texas Lutheran College, 50 per cent of the student body members are relatives of former students of the college.
Tickets for the annual Engineering banquet, March 28, sold rapidly today, as the race for the lead in the ticket selling contest among the seven departments of the School of Engineering and Architecture drew near to the final deadline, March 27.
According to the bulletin board "thermometer" erected in Marvin hall, the students in the department of petroleum engineering are the hottest in the race. The petroleum engineers lead in the percentage of tickets sold to all of the students in that department.
Each year the program cards, featuring some phase of engineering work, are designed by one of the students. Richard Hansen, e'40, a student in the department of architecture, is making the cards. The program itself is basically musical, mainly piano and vocal selections.
The banquet address will be made by Ernest E. Howard, widely known civil engineer from New York City. Mr. Howard was chief architect for bridges spanning rivers in several foreign countries as well as spans over many rivers in this country. Darell Liston, e'41, and George Rippey, e'40, head of the engineering council, are in charge of the banquet plans.

MELANCHOLA
They also Serve who only Stand and Wait
IN THE WEEK BEFORE NEW YEAR'S, 1940. Istanbul was quiet as Wall Street on a Sunday.
Robert Canuti, the AP's English-educated Turkish correspondent, hadn't had a first-class story for almost three months—not since the Turko-British treaty handed the Kremlin a short and snappy answer.
But while man was dozing, Nature woke. Beneath the surface of ancient Asia Minor, subterranean ledges lost their age-long balance, slipped and skipped sideways.
The first totals of homeless, dead, and injured—usually exaggerated in such disasters—were not exaggerated this time. Pictures that came by "slow camel" added to the terrible tale. It was the biggest earthquake story since Yokohama.
And Robert Canuti, his months of waiting ended, had it on the wires to the western world before it was known in the streets of Istanbul. At once, the machinery of international relief began to whir, and help was on the way.
But the complete, the almost miraculous, worldcoverage of the great Press Services comes frommen who mostly stand and wait. Correspondentslike Robert Canuti in the quieter capitals—andthe thousands of "stringers," in the world's little townsand villages, so-called because they paste theirinfrequent dispatches into a string and measure theirpayment by the inch.
Most people think of Press Association men as daring young acrobats of the newspaper world, always somersaulting from one hot story to another ... now in Tokyo, next in Singapore—now in Bucharest, soon at Brussels.
Men like these form the nerve ends of the wire services-indispensable divisions of journalism's army of 300,000 men.
The development of these world-wide Press Services, accurate, unbiased, and unsubsidized, is an
American achievement. It is an outstanding example of American organizing genius—and it has all happened within the lifetime of most news-readers now living. More than that, the Press Services are the standard bearers, throughout the world, of the 20th century American tradition of accuracy and fair play in news-reporting. Something new under the sun.
It wasn't until the 1890s that the dream of the modern Associated Press began to take form. A few courageous pioneers—Victor Lawson, Frank B. Noyes, Melville Stone, and Adolph Ochs—worked zealously for it, and in time press associations began pointing eager fingers at the map of the world and putting new correspondents wherever a fat dot showed an important city.
By the time an emperor with a withered arm unleashed the hounds of war in 1914, U. S. Press Services had spun their webs around the globe. AP's now seasoned network was being kept on its mettle by a lusty young competitor, an independent service called United Press, fathered in 1907 by E. W. Scripps.
Due chiefly to the vision of these pioneers, the U. S., in less than half a century, has shed its news provincialism. Today... let a flood sweep down the
Yangtze, a strike begin in Melbourne, a regiment revolt in Addis Ababa, and in a matter of minutes or hours the teletypes in the U. S. begin to chatter.
▶ FLASH—calls' the foreign cable, and begins gasping out its own curt, staccato language . . . SMORNING FRENCH CRUISER AIR-BOMBED IN ENGLISH CHANNEL. "Flash" calls the New York operator. "French cruiser bombed." A
rewrite man works frantically, and soon the fingers of another operator start the electric current flowing. Operators in Philadelphia, Chicago, and almost a score of other U. S. cities stand up crying "Flash." In a few seconds, every cranny of the U. S. will have the news.
From 50,000 news sources all over the globe, this river of news flows day and night. For while America sleeps, one half the world is wide-awake, busy getting into and out of trouble, busy making that vivid, perishable stuff called news.
To every self-respecting newspaper, Press Association news is the breath of life. A paper pays for as much of it as it can afford and use. A country weekly can have as little as $18 worth a week, a metropolitan daily as much as $2,500. But whether a paper gets "pony" or multiple wire service, it counts its Press Association service as perhaps its most valuable asset.
Press Association news is just as indispensable to The Weekly Newsmagazine as to a daily newspaper. To be sure, TIME has its own special correspondents, too—its own force of 500 news-scouts—its own check-and-query system.
But the stories from the daring acrobats and the quiet watchers of the Press Associations supply a basic pattern of the world's news...the vital pattern, which in the Newsmagazine becomes the continuing narrative history of our times, followed every week by 700,000 cover-to-cover readers.
This is one of a series of advertisements in which the Editors of TIME hope to give College Students a clearer picture of the world of news-gathering, news-writing, and news-reading—and the part TIME plays in helping you to grasp, measure, and use the history of your lifetime as you live the story of your life.

Western Title To K.U.
His Jayhawks 'Best in the West'
ED. ELBEL
Dr. F. C. Allen drove his Kansas cagers through the Western N.C.A.A. tournament last week-end in Kansas City and is now preparing to meet Indiana Saturday night in the same Municipal auditorium for the national championship. The Jayhawkers defeated Rice Institute and Southern California to win the semi-final tourney.

Meet Indiana U. For National Crown Saturday
By Jay Simon, c'40
Just like Pike's Peak and California's climate, the Kansas basketball team is "tops" on this side of the Mississippi river.
The Jayhawkers sailed through Rice and Southern California at the Western N.C.A.A. tournament at Kansas City last weekend to earn their "best in the west" title, and now have the upper hand on their geographical counterparts mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
Somewhat more mobile than mountains or localized weather conditions. Kansas gets a chance to prove it is not only the best
Meet Indiana Saturday
Somewhat more mobile than conditions, Kansas gets a chance on this side of the river, but in the entire country, when it meets Indiana Saturday night in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
The two principals found their way into the championship battle by opposite routes. Kansas came up the hard way, having to break a three-way tie with Oklahoma and Missouri to represent the conference, defeat Oklahoma A. and M. to represent Fifth district, and then dispose of Rice and U.S.C. to represent the West.
While the Jayhawkers battled their hearts out to earn their tickets to the finals, Indiana took it easy. Finishing second to Purdue in the Big Ten
Kansas Won Hard Way
Popularity Contest Opens
(Continued on page five)
It has long been the opinion of experts that the best basketball in the United States is played in Kansas and Indiana. The Eastern and Western tourneys bore them out to the letter, and now the National playoff is going to allow the smart boys to use "if" instead of "they" when referring to the best in the cage sport.
The Daily Kansan's contest to select two University students, who will escort Hollywood stars to the world premiere of "Dark Command," to be held here April 4, opened today. Blanks for the contest are to be found on page five of today's Kansan.
Men students are to vote for the coed they think should be escorted to the first night's opening by John Wayne, male lead in the picture which tells the story of Quantrill's raid on Lawrence. Women will select the man to take Claire Trevore to the premiere.
Ballots will be received at the Kansan office. They must be signed. Names will be checked against a student directory to prevent "stuffing" of the box.
Winners will be announced next week.
47 Food Handlers Take Tuberculin Examination
made by calling Watkins Memorial hospital.
A total of 230 food handlers in fraternities, sororites and in other organized houses will be examined for tuberculosis as a result of the Pan-Hellenic ruling, including 142 students and 88 non-students.
Twenty-eight students and 19 nonstudent food handlers have volunteered for tuberculin examinations at Watkins Memorial hospital, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said today.
Food handlers volunteering for the tuberculin examination thus far represented the following: Kappa Alpha Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Delta Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Delta Fi, Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Dunakin club, and the Memorial Union building.
Under the recent ruling by the Pan-Hellenic councils, Greek letter houses are required to have their food handlers examined. A fine of $50 will be assessed houses not complying with the ruling.
Doctor Canuteson, however, has volunteered the facilities of the health service for free examination of food handlers in boarding houses and clubs and restaurants. Appointments for the examination may be
P.S.G.L. Nominates Bill Farmer
With malice toward none—for the time being—politicians completed step number two in plans for the coming spring election last night when the Progressive Student Government League named Bill Farmer, l'41, as its candidate for Men's Student Council presidency.
When each party names its candidates for other offices, operations will be complete and the politicians will prepare for election hostilities.
Farmer, independent working student, has served one term on the M. S.C. and at present is a justice on the student supreme court.
In naming Farmer, the League had this to say about his qualifications:
ine Progressive Student Government League is proud of Bill Farmer. His nomination is the result of wide experience as a leader in student government and a tireless worker in campus organizations. P.

Handbags "Dramatic" This Season
This spring print dress with its stiffly starched collar can be worn in the late spring months as well as appearing under that new Easter coat now.
Handbags, those useful articles that hold all a woman's belongings, are going dramatic this season. They are larger than last year and are made of many materials and in all shapes.
Patent leather is the dominant material. Often it is combined with gabardine, again it is stitched with a contrasting color, but this year it is supple because bags are soft. Other drapable materials used are suede in bright tones, cape, chiffon moreco, doe, snake, and kidskin, which are molded or shirred into textured surfaces.
Width at the bottom is the current feature in bags and out of that theme the triangle and the long shallow rectangle have been developed. Top handles are popular, varied by pannier handles, which are perpendicular loops that spring up from the center of the frame, and bracelet handles, a wristband on one side from which the bag dangles.
Frames and closings are tricky, being worked out with rows of little mirrors, with interlocking plastic balls, enamel bowknets, butterflies, or hooks-and-eyes of metal.
Black and navy bags are most popular now but as the summer months approach, pastels will appear. Later on the white bags will be supplemented by high colors in prints and embroidered fabrics showing Mexican feeling. Linings and fittings are colorful with bright red the favorite hue.
As the season advances, many woven and knit fabrics will appear on the scene. They will include faille, sharkskin, grasgrain ribbon, prints, hopsacking, crepe, sheer woolens, and jersey. A fashion which has prevailed this winter in southern resorts is likely to reappear in the North, that is bags of straw that match hats, not only as to fabric and color but also in shape and size.
'Y' Drive to Aid Chinese Students
Plans are being made to start a drive early in May for the Far Eastern Students Service fund for Chinese student relief, Eda Paddock, Y.W.C.A. secretary, announced today. The drive will be sponsored jointly by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A.
The student co-chairmen for the work are Alice Ann Jones, c'41; and Charles Wright, fa'42. A steering committee composed of Maurine Mong, c'40; Betty Kimble, c'41; and Henry Werner, adviser of men, will complete plans for the campaign.
Paul Moritz, who was graduated last year from the University and was sent by the National organization of Y.M.C.A. as an exchange student to China, is directing this drive from Shanghai.
Announce Coed Scholarship
Application blanks may be secured from Miss Persis Cook, executive secretary, committee on aids and awards. All manuscripts must be submitted to Miss Evelyn Lewis, secretary of the English department, room 201 Fraser hall not later than May 10.
Fine Arts Faculty Present Programs
This award was established in 1931 in the name of Mrs. Whitecomb who was a K.U. student.
The Selden Lincoln Whitcomb fellowship, which is granted in the name of Mrs. Whitcomb's husband, at one time a member of the English faculty, will be announced April 1.
Faculty members of the School of Fine Arts will participate in two programs to be broadcast by radio station KFKU this week.
Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano,
will present a half-hour program to-
night from 6 to 6:30.
The Edna Osborne Whitcomb scholarship, granted to women students majoring in English and interested in creative writing, is to be awarded for the second time this year. The scholarship, which is for $100, was divided this year and granted to Laura Holste, c'41, and Jane Raup Robinson, c'41, at the end of the first semester. Increased funds have made it possible to offer the scholarship again this semester. Announcement of the winner will be made at commencement and paid in September.
Wednesday at the same time Olga Eitner, instructor of music theory, will present a recital-lecture in her series of programs on the development of violin literature.

Reluctant students, returning to school after the Easter vacation, were confronted with mid-semester examinations which will slow down the social life until the grades are turned into the Dean's office April 3.
This fellowship is open to graduate students interested in advanced study in the field of comparative literature.
Members of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity celebrated their return to school Monday night with their annual sweater and slack party. The Fijis and their dates went to Brown's Grove for a picnic supper followed by dancing at the chapter house Clvde Smith and his band played.

N.C.A.A. Comment
By Larry Winn
Well, we've done it again, yes sir; old Kansas has again fought her way to the position of fame in the world of basketball.
The always fighting Jayhawkers have again come into their own by winning the western play-offs of the N.C.A.A. last Saturday night in Kansas City. Hats off to a great little team that has not gained its fame the easy way, but defeated Oklahoma, Oklahoma A. and M., Rice, and then Southern California to make its challenge for the national N.C.A.A. title. The N.C.A.A. is the officially recognized championship play of the major colleges of the United States.
The big question on the Hill for the next few days is going to be the familiar cry, "Where can I get two good tickets to the basketball game Saturday night?"
Flash—"A hint to the wise is sufficient"—there are no more good tickets, but you stragglers may be able to get a few seats behind the goals at University athletic office or Carls. Scalipers are already beginning to sell their valuables, but there is a slight possibility that you can get a ticket from one of them for a reasonable price . . . DR. ALLEN DOES NOT HAVE ANY TICKETS.
Your commentator took in both games in Kansas City, Friday and Saturday nights, and was proud to stand up with the nine other press men that arose when the Kansas Alma Mater was played. Over half of the spectators enjoyed the same song on their feet, showing that K.U. and its graduates are certainly basketball minded.

Six Teams Tie In Swim Meet Preliminaries
By Tom Higgins, b'40
Water splashed high yesterday afternoon as the first half of the preliminaries of the men's intramural swimming meet was completed. Although the original plans were to run the entire preliminaries off yesterday, this was impossible due to the large numbers of entries from the independent teams and fraternities.
At the end of the first day's competition six teams: Phi Kappa Psi, Galloping Dominoes, Bea Thea Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sigma Chi were tied for first place on the basis of competition points alone. The Galloping Dominoes are in the best position to cop the title, at the present time having qualified seven men and a relay team for the semi-finals. Kappa Sigma is the next with four qualifiers for further competition.
Most times were only average but this is doubledless to the act that few good entrants were really pressed to win and also in part to the short practice period permitted after the basketball playoffs and the Easter holidays.
Dr. Ed Elibel said today that the second half of the meet would probably be held next Monday, April 1 and the semi-finals as soon after that as the conditions will permit. Summaries:
300 yd. Medley Relay (Two qualify for semi-finals): First heat: Delta Upsilon and Phi Delt; second heat: Phi Psi and Beta; third heat: Sigma Chi and Galloping Dominoes. Best Time—Sigma Chi 3:15.1 seconds.
50 yd. Breast Stroke (Winners of each heat to semi-finals): first heat; Tholen, Phi Delt, second heat: Carlos deJanon, Kappa Sigma, third heat; Smith, Sigma Phi Epsilon, fourth heat: Gades, Delta Upsilon, fifth heat: Voelger, Kappa Sigma, sixth heat: StancLIfe, Phi Gam, seventh heat: Mackey, Galloping Dominoes, eighth heat: Dalton, Galloping Dominoes. Best Time, Mackey, Galloping Dominoes, 36.4 seconds.
100 yd. Free Style (Winners qualifiers qualify to semi-finals): first heat: Black, Delta Tau Delta, second heat: Bliss, Galloping Dominoes, third heat: Moses, Phi Delta Theta, fourth heat: Banks, Beta Theta Pi, fifth heat: Maier, Galloping Dominoes, sixth heat: Lillard, Beta, seventh heat: Mackey, Galloping Dominoes, eighth heat: Hartman, Phi Gamma Delta. Best time, Maier 1:4.4.
Next, as Winchell would say, an orchid to John Kline, who seldom breaks into the scoring column, but is one of the best rebound men on "Phog's" team. Johnny was "kneed" in the back early in the second half of the Trojan tilt, but he came back later to show the spectators that he wasn't going to let a little All-American like Ralph Vaughan keep him down.
50 yd. Back Stroke (Winners qualify to semi-finals): first heat: Jones, Galloping Dominoes, second heat: Holt, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, third

Tampa, Fla., March 26—(UP)—Don't ever tell me again that a dog is man's best friend. I'd much rather turn to an opossum in an hour of need than to a dog, if that dog happened to be a Greyhound racing dog. An opossum might not actually render you any assistance, but at least he wouldn't do you any harm.
Such is not true of a racing Greyhound, who invariably bites the hand that feeds him through the pari-mutuel windows. Lest I seem overly bitter on the matter, just step into my shoes with me and allow me to explain the circumstances.
8 dog, let me down in the first race. Nor was I at all distressed when a little black and white friend fell down on the far turn in th
Through its hideous check-up system the United States government to which I constantly swore allegiance at the end of every grammar school day, learned that I was remiss about my income tax payment. With a petulant little fussiness that I can't understand from great big government, it demanded I pay my March installment for 1938. Furthermore, there was a hint that snappiness would be appreciated.
With all my ready cash tied up in good, sound wildcat stocks, the situation was alarming. I hastily ran through a list of all my friends, and just as hastily decided not to waste my time calling on them for help. But the word "friend" gave me an idea. Hadn't some bygone senator spoken a eulogy about a dog in which he said that a dog was man's best friend?
With the little money I had thoughtfully saved by not paying my income tax on this year, I hurried to the dog track. It seemed simple at the moment. A man needs a friend. A few miles out of town there are kennels full of his friends ready to work for him, ready to make money for him. I shudder when I think that I whistled and sang on the way to the track, and with a grand gesture told the cab driver to wait for me. I had quite a bit of trouble evading him on my walk home.
I wasn't particularly alarmed when a little brindle friend, the No.
I'll admit, however, that I began to question the deep bond between the dogs and me when, in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth races my friends had come nowhere near winning. Things brightened up a bit in the ninth race, though, when a fawn colored friend of mine got his picture taken along with another dog to determine the winner.: The friend of my friend was the winner. And for the first time I recalled the breadth of shoulder of the cab driver whom I had left outside with the meter ticking.
Maybe the dogs, I reasoned, don't know that their good friend, Henry McLemore, is here and counting on them. So I walked back to the paddock before the last two races and made myself conspicuous. One dog, on his way to the track for the tenth race, tried to lick my hand, so I rushed to the windows to get a bet down. He must have mistaken me for someone else because he ran as if he were my bitter enemy. He was last at the start, worse than that in the backstretch, and was forced to spurt towards the finish to prevent the rabbit from lapping him.
They tell me that only strong hands prevented a newspaperman from making news by biting a dog. They got me wrong at that. I was only trying to put the bite on a friend.

America at The Crossroads
With II Duce and Fuehrer conferences fastening Hitler's belt of neutral nations more and more snugly around the German waist, it becomes increasingly necessary for the United States to sift facts, weigh issues, smother sympathy, hate, and prejudice—in short, avoid war.
Intellectually, the American doesn't want war, but his emotions are another thing. Gallup polls show a 96 per cent opposition. However, no man can predict how he will feel when the war situation itself is upon him. History, with its gory stream winding through the centuries, reveals Greek imperialism, Roman conquest, medieval feudalism, to be the result of man's glory in his ancestors.
Vigorous America is at the crossroad of opinion. Objectives disclosed in the Pittman act and in earlier neutrality legislation show that citizens want peace, yet yearn to help France and England. On the economic side, too, issues play hob with themselves. Economists say that we must "escape a war boom in American business," but at the same time they want the stimulus to business which comes with rising prices. At the moment, Americans should guard against the growing pressure to repeal the Johnson act.
Principles of 1914 are dead. Men know now that there is no war to end war. War can be cast into oblivion only by reduction of nationalism into veritable nothingness. Failure of the League of Nations, the World Court, and almost all treaties, prove that nothing can be gained by federation of selfish nations.
Only by avoiding embroilment in war can America be the one strong western nation to lead the way from the chaos that will come. This civilization, let us hope, will not lie in the dust of marble and bronze that represents all that remained of the greatness of Rome, Greece, Egypt, and Babylonia.

If Bismark could behold the German of 1940, he would probably be pleased with the present situation. With the expulsion of thousands of Jews, Hitler, who is now even more powerful than Bismarck was, has succeeded in establishing what his predecessor had striven for—a more homogeneous nationality.
No Ten Commandments Guide Dictators
The measure of a politician is the number of people who delight in pointing out his past mistakes.—Publication Paragraphs.
★★
While nationality has played a great part in the rise of civilization, no one expects a Federation of the Globe. An international science of eugenics might suggest that various races aim, not at the extermination of each other, but at encouraging the improvement of each racial type without hatred and bloodshed.
But the Ten Commandments have played a very small part in the schemes of Germany's two greatest leaders. Bismarck ignored the Ninth Commandment, "Love thy neighbor as thyself". He attacked the "cosmopolitans" who said that all men should love each other regardless of nationality. Certainly Hitler is ignoring the Ninth and at least eight of the other Commandments.
Chinese nationalists, news dispatches say, have resorted to the circulation of chain letters asking for money to be used for assassination of Wang Ching-wei, who is scheduled to be installed as head of a Japanese-Sponsored government at Nanking. But the Chinese, always a practical people, have gone the United States fad of several years ago one better. Men who unsuccessfully attempt to collect the bounty and fall into Japanese hands will have the satisfaction of knowing that one per cent of the fund will go to members of their families.

To Class at 8 a.m.?---- Hill March History Is Full of Sleep Threats
On a March morning four years ago, students read their morning papers to learn that morning sleep had received its biggest threat in many years.
Top stories in those papers told of a recommendation by the University calendar committee that classes begin on the hour instead of the half-hour, and that morning classes begin at 8 o'clock instead of 8:30.
Students visioned warm beds, cold mornings, and an alarm clock set half an hour earlier.
Authorities visioned an efficiency increase in that total class capacity of the University would be raised one-eighth by the new schedule.
Champions of the early-morning school pointed out that there would be more time for athletics, intramurals, and laboratory classes.
While waiting for the University Senate to decide the question, campus groups took up the issue. The Men's Student Council went on record against the proposal because early classes would make an added hardship for hard-pressed working students.
The Women's Self-Governing Association opposed the plan too, saying publicly that the new arrangement would handicap commuting students.
But when the early-alarm proposal came before the University Senate, little time was taken to end the debate. The calendar committee explained the benefits of the new plan, only to see the professors turn it down by a 41 to 23 vote.
Thus ended the last attempt to revamp the class schedule.
Thus ended the last attempt to revamp the class schedule. Earliest such attempts on record were in March, 1911, and again in March, 1912. Both attempts failed.
During World War I, the days' classes began at 8 o'clock to give men students more time to drill, and to give women students more time to make bandages and clothing for the war in France.
Eight o'clock classes ended with the war, however, and 8:30 has been roll-call time since then.
Geologist Is Organizing Unusual 'Cuttings' Library
In a tiny office far back in the down-hill end of Haworth hall a most unusual library is being organized. Raymond P. Keroher, of the state geological survey, who supervises the work, calls it a "Cuttings" library. In it, the drill cuttings of oil wells within the state, are being carefully filed. This library consists of thousands of little brown envelopes filled with samples of the "cuttings", or rock fragments made by the drill bit as it penetrates bed after bed of rock during the drilling of wells. These samples are saved as the well is drilled, and are placed in cloth bags, which are carefully labeled with the exact depth from which the samples come.
By chemical and microscopic examination the cuttings from the same stratum in various wells can be identified, and the bed accurately correlated from well to well. After the depth of identified beds is known, geologists are able to draw contour maps of each bed, thus showing the "highs," or domes where oil reservoirs possibly may be found.
To facilitate study, the log of each well is drawn to the scale of 1 inch
equal to 20 feet, on a four foot strip of heavy paper. Then NYA workers glue the cuttings in their proper place at indicated depths on the paper logs. This makes a complete and accurate picture of the strata in a given well from top to bottom.
The K.U. library is located under the sidewalk which leads to the stage entrance on the east side of Hoch auditorium. At present it contains the logs of 1,720 wells which represent nearly every county in the state. The survey also has a branch library in Wichita, at 139 N. Mead street. In it are cuttings from more than 1,000 wells.
Anyone is welcome to study these records, or in some cases the samples may even be checked out in the same manner that books are checked from a building.
According to Mr. Keroher most large oil companies have similar files of samples, but the one at K.U. is the most complete in eastern Kansas. Data and cuttings for this file have been collected for many years, but during the last three years sufficient appropriations have made it possible to greatly extend the subsurface study within the state.

Dick Pierpont from the Sig Alph house picked the wrong class to sleep in when he dozed off on the front row under L. L. Water's nose last week. Water's held his finger to his lips in a request for quiet from the class; goi down on his knees in front of Pierpont and rudely awakened the sleeper with a loud, "woof!"
As Pierpont pushed away the arms of Morpheus instructor Waters continued his lecture with a bed-time story, looking pointedly at the groggy one.
Dick Hansen at the Kappa'Sig house has been escorting Virginia Anderson around and about. About two weeks too long. He took her to the Junior Prom and the next week she announced her pin welding with Jack Townsend, formerly a promoter of renown around these parts.
Bunny Jenkins and Bill Southern are to be seen together again after a split-up of several months. 'Tis said that Jenkins wasn't scared of any competition until that Lincoln Zephyr came into the picture.
After serious thought she decided it was a case of having cake or eating it so she graciously welcomed her William back.

room, Claflin asked Oyler for a continuance so that he could investigate more thoroughly the character and record of the state investigators to whom his son confessed the series of fires, Feb. 21. Claflin also asked that the hearing be delayed so that John Riling, newly appointed Lawrence attorney on the case, could have more time for preparation.

Europe's War To Stalemate Stage Soon
(By United Press)
War in Europe settled more deeply than ever into economic conflict today, with still no sign of the long-promised springtime military, naval, or aerial offensives.
The present period, dispatches emphasized, may be merely the pause before big scale warfare begins but there was little to indicate that either side had yet decided when, where, or how it would strike swiftly and effectively at the enemy.
While London claimed that no Allied ship had been sunk for a week, Germany, on the other hand, found the Allied blockade tightening. It was reported from Copenhagen that all German shipping might be ordered to take shelter for the time being. The closing of that loophole in German commerce was considered of only secondary importance in the general plan to strangle Germany.

Cinema Official Praises K.U.'s Movie Course
A personal endorsement of the University's course in movie appreciation was given today by William Saal, special representative of Republic pictures who is making his headquarters in Lawrence in connection with the world premiere showing of Republic's "The Dark Command" here, April 4.
Saal, who flew in from Hollywood today, praised the University course on moving picture work when he addressed a special meeting of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce at the Eldridge hotel this noon. Saal explained that the course enables youths who are interested in see-
nario writing and other moving picture work to learn the technical requirements of movie producing before trying to crack Hollywood studios.
At the meeting Saal outlined the plans for the premiere beginning with the arrival of the stars of the picture, John Wayne, Claire Trevor, Gabby Hayes, Roy Rogers, on a train which will leave the troop's headquarters in Kansas City at 10 a.m. April 4. After a welcoming luncheon at the Eldridge hotel the action will move to a parade which will show the "Cavalcade of American Transportation."
dinavia despite the presence of some ice. Besides the northern routes, the Nazis find routes to Russia wide open, while on the south, the Germans have free access to the Balkans and to Italy. Only on the western front are the Germans encircled as yet by any blockade which seriously interrupts the normal flow of goods.
While stalemate seems a definite possibility, social economists believe that should the impasse come, the transformation to a more workable economic system might be speeded up.
In the air, Berlin said today that a
French pursuit plane was shot down during a night fight between German and French planes near Saarbruecken. Reconnaissance flights over enemy territory were reported from both sides.
In America, the Allies were expected to place huge new orders for late-model army and navy airplanes as a result of the Administration's newly-developed policy of permitting their sale to foreign powers. Informed sources said today that the new policy would permit the Allies to obtain experimental and hitherto secret developments in army and navy planes.
Columbia Honors Prof. L.N. Flint
The Gold Key for "outstanding work in the school publications field" has been awarded to Prof. L N. Flint, director of the University's department of journalism, according to a letter received today from Joseph M. Murphy, chairman of the Columbia Scholastic Press association.
The citation was made March 16 at the sixteenth annual convention of the association in New York, which was attended by 2,800 high school journalists. Professor Flint is one of 83 persons so honored in the past 16 years. The award was made in honor of his services at the University; because he was the author of the first outline course of study for high school journalism; because he taught the first two high school journalism teachers; because he offered the first summer session course for high school journalists; and because "he is an elder statesman among journalism teachers."

Sides were almost chosen today for the coming spring election when Society of Pachacamac announced its slate of candidates to support presidential nominee Bob McKay, b'40.
The Pachacamaca slate is incomplete yet, Seth Gray, b'41, Society president, explained because final decisions on nominees from District I have not been made. District I includes the School of Law, the Graduate School, and the School of Medicine. Gray said he believed the three nominees from this district would be announced tomorrow.
When complete, the Pachacamac slate will include 25 men, 6 running for class offices and 20 for positions on the Men's Student Council. The men are both independent and fraternity students, Gray said, and are "equally representative of both groups."
Progressive Student Government League, opposition party, said today that its complete slate would be ready later in the week. The League yesterday named Bill Farmer, '141, to head its campaign this year.
The candidates:

Fugitt-Elledge Sweep Tourney
LeRoy Fugitt, gr, and Russell Eileedge, c'41, won the Union bridge tournament last night with a total of $13\frac{1}{2}$ match points. Because of a tie for second place between the Clarence Miller, c'43, and Malcolm Miller, c'42, team and the Dan O'Shea, c'40, and Jim Morris, c'41, team, the couples drew cards to decide who would receive second place recognition. The Miller brothers won the draw. Medals for first and second place will be awarded. Winford Ferry, e'40, tournament manager, supervised the play.
- When the doughboys went to France some years ago they had brass bands and waving flags and kissable girls to sing "Over There" and send them off to battle.
If you didn't get to see that sight, just come around to Robinson gymnasium at 10:20 tomorrow morning and you'll get an idea of what it was like.
There'll be a good pep band on hand, says Waugh, and lots of brass. The doughboys will have nothing on us. So when the team leaves toorrow night to do battle with the Hoosier Hot Shots there should be plenty of flag-waving and song-singing to back them.
Head Cheerleader Kaw Waugh today got wind of the fact that Phog Allen's Jayhawkers were now "Best in the West" and decided that this was no place to stop. So he drew a few influential persons together and the result was a celebration which Waugh claims will warm the hearts of the Kansas cagers.
But in case you're forgetful here it is again: the time, 10:20; the place, Robinson gymnasium; the event—BEAT INDIANA!

Fraternities and sororities indicated today that the Kansan popularity contest to select escorts for the stars at the world permeire of "Dark Command" April 4, would be a dog fight from the start.
Three fraternities and one sorority indicated favorite sons. So far, the coed side of the contest remains more or less in the dark. It is said that sorcerites are dickering for votes and will release their candidates tomorrow. Chi Omega is rumored to be sponsoring Virginia Ford, c'43, for the honor.
Popularity Contest Off To Fast Start
Phi Kappa Psi announced Walter "Sunny" Jones, c'42, as its candidate. Kappa Sigma put out Howard Engleman, c'41 and Basketball Captain Dick Harp is the S.A.E. choice. Pi Beta Phi, traditionally a power in this sort of contest, is pushing Bill O'Shea, c'40. D.U.'s man, Bill Koester, c'41, was forced to withdraw because of his staff position on the Kansan.
Votes trickled in all day, but no heavy balloting is expected until the weekend when the fraternal group will put on the pressure.
Ivan Cain, c'40, is the only independent candidate entered to date.
Ballots are on page 7 of today's Kansan. When filled out and signed, they will be received in the Kansan newsroom.
BEAT INDIANA.
Everyone out for the Big Rally tomorrow at 10:30! Let the team know you're behind it!

Coeds Voice Protest to Male Clothes
The male of the species has always had the pleasure of wearing the brightest and best plumage according to naturalists, but it doesn't follow that the fine feathers always meet with the approval of the females.
Men may find, much to their surprise, that some of their fads are not admitted by coeds. A questionnaire submitted to a number of University women shows that all have a pet peeve when it comes to men's college clothes.
Corduroy trousers in general and dirty "cords" in particular, proved to be the most hated item. MAR-GUERITE JONES, b'40, in addition to dulking dirty cords, wants men to keep their saddle shoes clean. VIRGINIA HOUSTON, e'42, looks askew at the popular corduroy campus hats and the crew hair cuts worn under them.
The next thing that gives the girls the most trouble is men's color combinations. MARILOU MILLER, ed'41, says, "I hate to see trousers of one plaid worn with a coat of another plaid." CECIL KING, c'41, Harry Hill's favorite sports writer, thinks men have no sense about color combinations but adds optimistically, "I do think they are getting more conscious about their clothes now days." MARY LOU RANDALL, c'41, dismisses the combination business by saying, "I hate plaids and checks."
Men may think that clearness in a shirt is the most important thing but women hold out for more. VELMA WILSON, c'40, has an aversion to printed shirts, besides disliking two-tone shoes. JEAN WERNER, fa'42, in addition to lothing suspenders, refuses to look with favor upon dark shirts worn with suits. They must be white, says she, HELEN HEARD, c'41, dislikes gaudy shirts and any shirt without a tie. JEAN DONELAN, c'42 guesses "men's clothes are okay," except for ties that violate all laws of color harmony. JEAN TALBOTT, c'40, isn't so apathetical about the subject. She says, "I hate bow ties, in fact they nauseate me."
RUTH SPENCER, c'41, dismisses comfort with, "Although they may be warn, I can't stand those duck hats with bills worn with ear muffs."
Don't give up hope men; although the coeds may criticize parts of your wardrobes and hurt your feelings about those beloved corduroys, the general census of opinion is that you are improving in your taste.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
"Yes, we have no tickets left" is the cry of the athletic office, Carls, and Dr. Allen. Already 2,100 tickets have been sold on the Campus, but Earl Falkenstein, secretary of the athletic office, said yesterday that all of the tickets were gone.
It is terribly hard for a columnist to get away from the coming N.C.A. A. tournament, so I won't try right away.
Indiana's press agents are getting under way immediately by sending every paper surrounding Kansas City, an envelope full of blow-ups, mats, history and propaganda about the Hoosier team. One thing of note about the Indiana team is the fact that Paul (Curly) Armstrong, high scoring forward and Herman Shaefer, the other Hoosier front man, have been playing basketball together since the 4th grade. Both are 21 years old and juniors.
Your correspondent thought he had a scoop when he dropped in on the basketball team yesterday afternoon to find some of them practicing, but the so-called practice looked more like a bunch of boys at recess, including the green-suited doctor. It looked funny to see this care-free group compared to the same group of "battlers" last Saturday night.
It was almost curtains for the Gamma Phi spring party on this coming Saturday night because of the basketball game, but the Crescent Moon girls saw the light soon enough to change their shin-dig to Friday night. Close there . . .
Hats off to Ed Elbel: The man behind the scenes of many athletic events around here, but he gets little credit for his work. He is the man that is at the helm of the University's fine intramural program, he is the one that draws the Kansas Relays sticker every year, he announces the basketball games and will be at the public address system Saturday night, he is the general manager of the Kansas Relays, and on top of all of this, he teaches classes.
Splashes from the intramural swimming meet: Probably the biggest splashes were made by the boys that stepped in the footpath with their street shoes on. . . . Most impressive was Maier, Galloping Dominoe flash for the past three years, when he swam the 100-yard free style in 1:04.4 seconds. Not record breaking, but good for a qualifying heat. . . . A show in itself will be the fancy diving which is scheduled to take place next Monday afternoon.
Missing persons . . . at the Kansas Relays, April 20, will be the strong aggregation from Rice Institute in Texas. Although we beat the Blue and White boys from the south in basketball, their thin-clads could still show heels to our cinder-crushers. . . . Figures like Freddie Wolcott and Calvin Bell will tend to lessen the color of the coming event. Wolcott is the blond timber-topper who set the Relays record in 1938 in the 120-yard high hurdles of 14.2 seconds. Bell was anchor man on the lightening-fast sprint medley relay team that has coped first place for the past two years.
Hoosiers Play 'Fire-Wagon' Type Offense
Bloomington, Ind., March 28 Indiana University's basketball team, newly-crowned champions of the East, will pit its speed against Kansas cleverness in the final game of the National Collegiate A. A. tourney Saturday at Kansas City, Mo.
The Hoosiers worked through three practice sessions this week, and will hold their final drill on Friday on the tournament floor at Kansas City.
Coach Branch McCracken, warning his charges against the cleverness and finesse of the Kansas five, has stressed speed and ball-handling in practice.
Indiana, exponent of the fast-break "fire-wagon" type of basketball, features a running game built around an offense not dominated by any single player.
The probable starting lineup for the Hoosiers will include; Jay McCreary and Paul (Curly) Armstrong, forwards; Bill Menke, center, and Capt. Marvin Huffman and Bob (Moose) Dro, guards.
This sextet has accounted for 769 points of the total 901 points scored by Indiana during the regular season, with Armstrong the leading scorer, closely followed by Bill Menke, Schaefer and Dro.
In the Indianapolis playoff of the N.C.A.A. tourney, Indiana had five men in the top nine scorers for the two games against Springfield College and Duquesne.
Schaefer was the leading scorer of the tourney with 22 points, followed by Bill Menke, third with 14 points; Armstrong, fifth with 13 points; Huffman sixth with 12 points and Dro ninth with 10 points.
Schaefer, Bill Menke and Dro were popular choices on the all-tournament teams selected by Indianapolis and visiting sports writers.
Coach Branch McCracken has served for two years as head basketball coach at Indiana University, and each upon his teams, to regular sea

Buckles, Trophy To Kansas Team
Those gold belt buckles that you see the members of the basketball team wearing are their souvenirs of the western playoff series of the N. C.A.A. just completed in Kansas City. In addition to the individual awards, the team received a large trophy, with several figures mounted on the base, in recognition of its winning first place. This trophy along with the first and second place trophies for next Saturday's game are now on display at Carl's.
The buckles and belts were given to the following men: Ralph Miller, Dick Harp, Don Ebling, Howard Engleman, Bob Allen, John Kline, Bruce Voran, Jack Sands, T. P. Hunter, Dean Nesmith, trainer, and Dr. Forrest C. Allen, coach.
Golf and Tennis Schedules Out
Again this year, the athletes competing in tennis and golf for the University of Kansas will participate the same date. For the past two years the tennis and golf schedules have been made out to coincide with each other.
Coaches "Dutch" Urhlab and Wm. H. Shannon are in charge of tennis and golf respectively. Both coaches have announced beginning practices for their squads.

Beta's Lead Intramural Standings
May 17-18, Big Six Meet, at Lincoln.
Beta Theta Pi appears headed for its third straight intramural cup unless some team begins to narrow the gap. With 574.25 points, they are now 72 points ahead of the second place Phi Psi's and 102 in front of the third place Galloping Dominoes at the end of the fall sports and basketball.
The Beta's won football, tennis singles, and handball and have maintained strong teams in all of the other sports. Phi Psi tied for the championship of their division in touch football, and have been second in several events to keep in the running.
At the end of the swimming meet and the volley ball play-offs the race should be tighter between these three teams and they should enter spring sports in a neck-and-neck battle. The Beta's are traditionally strong in the individual sports and with that in mind it appears they are the ones to beat.

Coaches Gather To Discuss Rules
By Carl Lundquist
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Kansas City, Mo., March 28.—(UP) The nation's basketball coaches gathered today to find a place for the "little man who isn't there"—the runt who must sit on the sidelines and watch the tall boys take the glory.
There isn't much of a chance under present rules, they say, for a short fellow to play on his college basketball team. The game places too much emphasis on height.
The coaches will attend a three day meeting of their national association, which precedes the annual meeting of the national collegiate athletic association rules committee. The rules committee will meet from Friday through Sunday to make all changes in collegiate regulations of the game for the coming year. Also meeting in conjunction with the coaches is the national collegiate officials group which will hold a two day session on Friday and Saturday.
The most widely discussed rules change, advocated by many coaches, is the raising of basket levels from 10 to 12 feet and increasing the diameter of hoops from 18 to 20 inches.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, a member of the rules committee and coach at the University of Kansas, is one of the staunchest advocates of 12-foot baskets. Dr. Allen, dean of the nation's coaches, is sending a team of comparatively short players into the national finals of the N.C.A.A. meet against Indiana here Saturday night, but the success of his team this year, hasn't lessened his opposition to the 10-foot baskets, which he says give all the advantage to the tall boys.
Carl Hoy, University of South Dakota coach from Vermillion, and A. E. Haylett of Doane College, Crete, Neb., are seeking to eliminate the rule which sends a player out of the game after his fourth personal foul. Both Haylett and Hoy think the penalty of giving the other side one or two free throws is enough.
Fordham Seismograph Feels Quake By the United Press
New York—The Fordham University seismograph today recorded a "quite severe" earthquake violent enough to have wrecked buildings in a populated area, about 4,600 miles from New York.
The university said it was impossible to determine from what direction the recorded vibrations came.

Batsmen Open Season With Short Game
by Bob Trump, c'42
Weather permitting, members of the Kansas baseball team who have been yearning for competition will get it tomorrow when Coach Mike Getto divides the squad into two groups for the first practice game of the year.
The battle, which will begin at 3:30 and will last for five or six innings, will give the Jayhawk coach an opportunity to become more familiar with the abilities of his men whose practice sessions have been hampered during the past three weeks by inclement weather.
All three of the outstanding pitching candidates, John Burge, Arnie Kresie, and "Red" Dugan, will take turns on the mound. From this trio, Coach Getto expects to select the starting hurler for the opening game of the season with Rockhurst here on April 10.
Eldreth Cadwalader and Monte Merkel, who have been doing most of the catching, so far this season, will be behind the bat for the opposing teams.
Coach Getto announced this morning that a home and home series has been arranged with Rockhurst college of Kansas City, making 18 games for the Jayhawks this spring. No more games will be scheduled because a Big Six conference ruling restricts teams to 18 games a season.
The two day series, originally scheduled with the Missouri Tigers Columbia on Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20, conflicts with the Kansas Relays which will be held in Lawrence at the same time, and negotiations are being made with Bengal officials to change the date of the games.
The complete schedule follows:
The complete schedule follows:
April 10, Rockhurst at Lawrence; April 12 and 13, Kansas State at Lawrence; April 19 and 20, Missouri at Columbia; April 26 and 27, Iowa State at Lawrence; April 30, Rockhurst at Kansas City; May 3 and 4, Nebraska at Lawrence; May 10 and 11, Oklahoma at Lawrence; May 17 and 18, Kansas State at Manhattan; May 20 and 21, Missouri at Lawrence; and May 24 and 25, Iowa State at Ames.
Table Tennis Team to Play in K.C.
The University table tennis team, sponsored by the Memorial Union building, will play the Kansas City University team in the latter's gymnasium at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The players who will compete are Warren Shupe, b'40; Perry Petterson, c'40; Maleo lm Black, l'42; and either Bill Martin, c'43, or Don Estes, c'41. Four singles and one doubles match will be played.

Hoosiers Play----
(Continued from page four) letters in football. During the 1930 season he set a new Big Ten individual scoring record of 147 points in basketball.
McCracken also has had experience in professional basketball, playing a portion of two seasons. During football season, he assists in coaching the freshman team.
No stranger to followers of Big Six sports is Ralph Graham, Indiana's freshman basketball coach, who will accompany the Hoosiers to Kansas City.
Graham, former Kansas State star, is charged with the teaching and coaching of freshmen basketball candidates who hope to break into Big Ten competition. He has had outstanding success in teaching the fundamentals of Big Ten play to his charges, and is McCracken's chief scout. He is in his sixth season at Indiana. Graham also is backfield coach in football, and varsity tennis coach.
There will be a K-Club meeting at 7:30 tonight in the K-Club room in Robinson gym. Bill will lead, president

The large task of getting everything in readiness for the eighteenth annual Kansas Relays is well under way. The big track and field carnival will take place just three weeks from Saturday.
BREWING
Kelly's track men have wom high honors at the Relays during the three years he has been head coach at Minnesota. He went to that school from DePaul University.
Doing the preliminary detail work on the Relays is the student relays committee, headed by Burr Sifers, senior manager. Other members of the committee are Larry Winn of Kansas City, Mo. and Earnest Klema of Salina, juniors; Bob Eidson of Topeka, Bob Woodward of Salina, Clint Kanaga. of Kansas City, Mo. and Fred Robertson of Osawatomie, sophomores.
FROM A THOUSAND AND ONE BOTTLES HE MEASURES YOUR HEALTH
HOW comforting to be able to depend on the pharmacists at the Rexall Drug Store. How good to know that from all the bottles of essences, tinctures, spirits, extracts, etc., he will select the correct one. . . . And guarantee that your prescription is correctly compounded with a double checking system that guarantees accuracy.
Jim Kelly, track coach at the University of Minnesota, has been chosen to referee the Relays, it was announced today by Gwinn Henry, director of the meet.
Recently appointed to the committee were six freshmen, Byron Korn of Leavenworth, John Tilson of Kansas City, Mo., Dick Chubb of Baxter Springs, Chuck Elliott of Halstead, Kenneth Nicolay of Abilene and Verlyn Norris of Lawrence.
Entry blanks for the Relays will be sent to about 300 universities and colleges in the next few days. Some 600 Kansas high schools will receive entry blanks for the big high school meet the day preceding the Relays.

Last year teams came to the Rellays from such widely separated points as California, Alabama, Mich-
igon and Texas. The meet is one of the three biggest Relays carnivals of the year.
The 1539 running of the meet was one of the most successful in history and a Relays of the same caliber is expected this year. Highlight of the meet last year was the sensational pole vaulting of Beefus Bryan of Texas.
Bryan set a new record of 13 feet $11 \frac{3}{4}$ inches as a sophomore and last year he went on to vault 14 feet 2 inches. The lanky Texan will endeavor to set a new record for the third straight year, April 20.

To Build----
(Continued from page one) at the time of the death of their son, who was killed in an automobile accident last December near Lawrence, in preference to having the contributions spent on flowers for the services. Battenfeld was a junior in the College. Except for some furnishings to be provided by specific gifts from friends and relatives, which were made to the Flower Fund of the Endowment association at the time of the boy's death, the Battenfelds will furnish the hall completely.
The building was planned and designed by Morton Payne and Russel Field, architects & builders, In., of Kansas City. The general construction contract has been awarded to J. T. Constant of Lawrence.
Malott Pleased
In commenting upon the new hall, Chancellor Malott expressed the gratitude of the University and of the people of Kansas for this new addition to the University's facilities.
"This new home for self-supporting men," said Mr. Malott, "will serve countless generations of ambitious boys, many of whom might not otherwise receive a college education. It is a memorial of lasting and immeasurable value for the future."

City Must Act Against TB!
With many Hill fraternity and sorority houses sending their food handle to Watkins hospital for tuberculosis examination or making arrangements for such examination, and with several boarding houses and clubs on the Hill similarly agreeing with the T. B. program, there yet remains a significant step in the move toward achievement of the goal desired by the Student Health Service, the Douglas county Tuberculosis association, the Daily Kansan, and other groups.
That goal is the passage by the Lawrence City Council of an ordinance requiring the examination of all food handlers in the city.
It is a certainty that efforts by the medical groups desiring this legislation and by the Daily Kansas will soon result in the examination of all student food handlers, and also all non-student food handlers working in fraternity and sorority houses and boarding clubs on the Hill proper.
That is not enough. Every food handler in Lawrence must be examined, whether he be a student worker, a non-student worker in a student eating house, or a worker in a city restaurant or eating house.
Only by such all inclusive methods can the danger of the spread of tuberculosis be curbed. Active cases found among both student and non-student food handlers show the urgency of completing the program.
The City Council of the City of Lawrence must pass this measure without further delay!

Individualism vs. Mass Hysteria
Just how mass meetings and oratorical hotair are going to preserve democracy is difficult to say. Democracy seems to be a rather slippery thing to cling to these days. The Finns preserved theirs for some time by hard work.
Foes and critics of democracy must sit back in their chairs and chuckle with glee when such pressure groups as the United Student Peace committee make the solemn announcement that upon April 19th at 11 a.m. its one million members will strengthen democracy and keep the "Yanks over here." Mass meetings, parades, chapels, radio broadcasts, and sundry rabble-rousing implements are to be used in bringing about this commendable achievement.
straight thinking, and a minimum of rhetorical gabberwocky; they salvaged a part of it by some straight shooting and hard fighting. It isn't difficult to imagine what would have happened to Finland long before this had it been under the protection of the airy-nary beardless tripe dispensers who shoot off their mouths for youth movements.
If the youth of America were inclined to save democracy—and no one is certain that they are—there are a few things they could do. They might keep out of pressure groups whose chief aim is the wringing of more and more subsidies from a government which is practically hanging on the ropes. They might think less about improvement of the mass and more about the individual. And they might do something for the government instead of begging the government to do everything for them.
Let the youth of today seek himself out alone. Let him develop his own thoughts unhampered by propaganda and mass hysteria. Let him seek confidence in himself by plumbing that great reservoir of righteousness and wisdom which lies beneath the materialistic wants of less work, higher wages, and more subsidies. Then when he is assembled with his fellows, he can become a useful, efficient part of the progress toward democracy—a democracy that is attained not through massing in stupid mobs, but through the hard and intelligent labor that will gradually eliminate the social and economic ills of America.
Farley May Not Know Students Send 50 or 60 Laundry Packs Each Day
By Uarda Sherry, c'40.
Jim Farley, rotound postmaster-general, may not know it but Uncle Sam is in the laundry business at the University of Kansas.
Students send between 50 and 60 laundry packs daily by parcel post from the University mail station in the basement of Frank Strong hall.
If student laundry mailings are any indication, Monday is losing ground as the most popular national wash day.
"Peak days for sending laundry home are Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays," says R. C. Abraham, superintendent of the University station. "On these days more than a hundred laundry packs often are mailed."
Little regard for dirty shirts is shown by the majority of students who do not insure their laundry. Weight of laundry varies widely with individual students. Smaller packs weight between three and four pounds. Larger ones total between 15 and 20 pounds.
In addition to its cooperation with home laundry service for students, the University mail station serves the University in other ways, Mr. Abraham revealed. Stamp sales in 1939 totaled $24,715.23. Use of air mail stamps is constantly increasing. The best post office customer on the Hill is the University Business Office.
The University mail station is a classified station of the main post office in Lawrence.

The Dyche museum has an entire new collection of fossil fauna, Claude Hibbard, assistant curator of the museum, announced today.
Mr. Hibbard recently returned from the National museum at Washington, D.C., where he compared mammal fossils taken from the upper Pliocene bed in Meade county with those of the same age found in other states.
The collection is one of the few of its age in the United States, and is the second to be uncovered east of the Rocky Mountains. It includes species of horses, mas todons, camels, antelope, pigs, dogs, cats, and many rodents.

Pnttl dis th pnwgeb a I W N A —
On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
Bill Koester, c'41 Guest Conductor
The sisters at Alpha Chi must have had a chuckle last night listening to Mary Frances Nelson and Katy Ann Sewell lamenting that slip made in answer to the writer's salutatory interrogation yesterday. Slips like that are one in a million, but what a slip that was!
The New Yorker magazine opines that the appointment of Bertrand Russell as professor of mathematics and philosophy at City college (promptly attacked by Churchmen) carried with it the danger that he might upset the morals of youth, and maybe the multiplication table. All we have to say it, "what kind of an insinuation is that?"
We are informed that during 1930 a total of 20,800,000 telephones were in operation in the United States. Plausible wager is that at least half of them might have been Pi Phi phones.
And down at Louisiana State University the other day professors were tapping natural gas from the water spigots and water from the gas jets. Some mixup. It appears that the courses L.S.U.'s plumbers took must have taught more about "Free Love and Bathroom Romances" than about plumbing.
We expected this—as much as you did. D.U.'s Bob Guy was rushed home early a few nights ago by "throb sister" Betty West, of Gamma Phi Beta, who wished to have more time to study for a tough 8:30 quiz the next morning. Laugh now: she didn't go to the quiz after all. Guy is East and West is West—and never the twain shall meet.
Another funny thing about L.S.U. better late than never: during the probe of ex-president James Monroe Smith's fraudulent activities, his wife reputedly declared, "We is not guilty." To which Ted (San Francisco Examiner) Cook added this bit:
"We is not guilty; we was framed. It's other folks had oughta be blown
blamed.
We didn't take nothing, I'm telling you true;
Not even grammar, at L.S.U.."
While U.C.L.A.'s paper criticizes our smoking violation penalty—expulsion for 3-time losers. Well okay, then, "Figs from Thistles", plans are now afoot to lift the ban, penalties and all, in celebration of Kansas' basketball victory over U. S.C. the other night.

Civilization In America Placed at 25,000 Years
Cambridge, Mass. (U.P.)—Civilization in North America is nearly 25,000 years old—not a mere 5,000, as previously supposed—two geology professors, Kirk Bryan and Louis L. Ray, report
Stone implements were found in the fossils of prehistoric monsters in the Lindemmeier Valley of Colorado and the Harvard professors were called in to set the age of the men who used them.
According to Bryan, the "culture layer in which the relies were found" was related to a definite geologic event which occurred 25,000 years ago and thus "dates" the implements.

Balboa, C. Z.-The 35,739-ton British liner Maureatania sailed into the Pacific from Balboa Harbor at 3:35 a.m. (E.S.T.) yesterday reportedly headed for Australia to pick up troops for transport to the near East.

Forty Breeze Through Hill's Breeziest Quiz
By Bob Woodward, c'42
Forty-six of the 50 students enrolled in the University's "breezest" course have passed their first big quiz. At the end of last week, only four students enrolled in the elementary flight training course had not made their solo flight, the first step toward gaining a private flier's license, according to Bill Ashcraft, instructor in student flying, today.
To complete the training course and also to become eligible for a private license each student pilot must have so many hours of solo flying. John Green, m'42, was the first student flier to make a solo flight this semester. Besides the actual flying each student must make a passing grade on a written examination given each year by the Civil Aeronautics Authority. The results of the grades on this exam, which was taken at the first of this month by all of the students, have not been received from the regional office in Kansas City, Mo. Last year the entire class of 50 passed the exam.
The elementary training course, which was inaugurated at the University last year, offers ground school training as well as the instruction in actual flying. Prof. R. S. Tait, associate professor of mechanical engineering, and Prof. H. S. Henry, instructor in mechanical engineering, are in charge of ground school instruction. There are four planes at the Municipal airport for use in student training.

Title Is At Stake
M.S.C. Delegates to K-State Tonight
Plan Peace Talk With the Aggies
Five members of the Men's Student Council left for Manhattan at 2:30 this afternoon to draw up a new treaty which will put a halt to post-game football brawls between members of the K.U. and K-State student bodies, such as occured here last fall.
C. H. Mullen, l'42, president of the Men's Student Council, heads the specially appointed delegation which includes John Oakson, c'40, Brewster Powers, c'40, Ed Page, l'40, and Russell Mosser, c'40. The trip was made by motor car. A banquet is scheduled for 6 o'clock this evening at the Hotel Ambassador in downtown Manhattan. The actual conference and drawing up of the new treaty will follow the banquet.
On March 3 Mullen wrote to Russell Leeper, president of the combined men-women student council at Kansas State, asking him to set a date for a possible peace conference. Leeper's reply was favorable and he suggested the meal and meeting in Manhattan for today. The original peace treaty, now in effect, was drawn up in Lawrence in 1935 and contained provisions for only pre-game feuding.
The combined K-State governing body contains only nine members, all of whom will attend the conference tonight. Mullen remarked last night that he expected the new treaty to be copied mostly from the one now in use, with some clauses added to make it all-inclusive. Mullen said, "The treaty of 1935 will be the basis of any understanding to improve relationships of the two student bodies."
Students in the School of Engineering and Architecture,believe in practicing the maxim "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." All previous attendance records were smashed last night when more than 400 students,members of the faculty, and alumni gathered for three hours of general fun making at the Engineers banquet in the Memorial Union.

The highlight of the evening's program was a talk on the "Heritage of the Engineer" by Ernest E. Howard, world known civil engineer, author and inventor. Mr. Howard explained the development of the

Speech Festival Gets Underway in Fraser
The first all-inclusive Speech and Dramatics Festival got under way at 2:30 this afternoon in Fraser Hall. The event, which was discontinued several years ago, formerly covered only plays. The activities today and tomorrow were to include readings, after-dinner speeches, original orations, standard orations, extempore speaking, one-act ___
alter-dinner speeches, original tempore speaking, one-act plays, and radio drama. Contestants registered this morning from 35 schools.
Judges for the events are members of the University faculty and Mrs. Allen Crafton. They are Miss Margaret Anderson, W. E. Sandelius, Mrs. Crafton, Mrs. Myrtle Bair, John Hankins, E. O. Stene, and H. C. Ingham. University students will serve as chairmen of the groups are Mary McAnaw, c'42, John Lintner, gr., Betty Kimble, c'41, Donald Hayman, c'40, David Rice, c'41, C. H. Mullen, l'43, Russell Baker, c'42, and Karl Ruppenthal, l'43.
Following the contest, the winners will be ranked in Fraser Theater at 3 p.m. Saturday. At this time, the prize winning plays will be presented before all the 35 delegations. The best actor and actress will be given an award.
A member of the speech department said this morning that a number of last minute changes in the schedule had been made, necessitated by the withdrawal of Turner high school.
A special display was erected in the main hall of Fraser hall this morning, demonstrating the services which the University Speech and Dramatics department offers to schools, and other organizations over the state. The department keeps over 4,000 plays circulating in Kansas all the time, a faculty member said today.
High school students are being housed in organized houses and fraternity and sorority houses tonight. The festival ends Saturday afternoon.

Pi Kappa Alpha announced today thta Bob Hamilton would be its candidate for the glamour boy title. Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi have made no decision as yet and Gamma Phi Beta indicated that it would stay out of the tussle.
Sigma Chi put forward Dick Mize as its entry. As usual the Sigma Chi's have the support of their neighbors, Kappa Alpha Theta. Theta has a candidate of its own in Kayo O'Sullivan. Miss O'Sullivan, if successful, will be escorted by John Wayne, the picture's masculine lead. Betty Butcher, a Theta, was the "Sour Owl's" "Most Alluring She" in that magazine's last contest.
Four new candidates for the Kansas's popularity contest, to choose escorts for the Hollywood stars at the world premiere of "Dark Command" to be held here April 4, entered the race today.
Another cage star was added to the list when Delta Tau Delta announced it would back Bruce Voran to escort glamorous Claire Trevor. The Delt's were successful in the last contest of this type when they elected all-American basketballer Fred Pralle, '38, as the "Sour Owl's" "Most Fascinating He."
The following hopefuls were announced yesterday: Dick Harp (S.A.E.), Howard Engleman (Kappa Sigma), Walter "Sunny" Jones (Phi Kappa Psi), Bill O'Shea (Phi Gamma Delta) and Ivan Cain (Independent).
Ballots will be found in today's Kansan. When signed, they are to be delivered to the Kansan newsroom. The contest will close at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Virginia Ford, of Chi Omega, is the only other coed in the contest at the present time.

Prof. H. L. Smith Wins Award
H. L. Smith, the instructor in journalism who makes a definite point of telling his students how crowded the writing field is today, will have some explaining to do.
He was recently informed that he has received a $1200 award for the most promising history book of the year. The award is given by Alfred A. Knopf, a New York publisher, for outstanding literary works in history, fiction, and biography.
Mr. Smith began compiling data on the history of airlines for his doctor's thesis from the University of Wisconsin, and after having written part of the article, he came to the decision that his material would make a book.
Professor Smith confesses that his interest in flying is very much like that of the lame boy who loves baseball. A Middle Westerner of the first air-minded generation—he grew up in Cleveland, where he was born in 1906—he has long had an

Best Dancers From Middle West Grad's Troupe Here Soon
"Although the two coasts are the centers of modern dancing in this country, most of the dancers come from midwestern and western states," declared Alice Sherbon who will present her troupe of eight in a program in Hoch auditorium April 2.

gram in Hoch auditorium April 2.
Miss Sherbon, who left the University in 1930, came back to Kansas after appearing with Martha. Graham, well-known modern dancer in New York, because she feels that all dancing should not be concentrated in certain section of the country. Her group includes students from the University, Harkel Institute, Lawrence
Feeling that most people try to read deep meanings into modern dances, Miss Sherben says the dancer expresses the essence of emotion in order that the spectator may interpret it in the light of his own personal experience.
"Most people will read deep meanings into a dance trying to understand what he means, when instead they should apply the emotion expressed to their own lives and experiences.
"Dancers use movement as the medium of expression as musicians use sound," explained Miss Sherbon. "That is why we do not interpret music. The composition of the dance must stand by itself without leaning on another art, because
most music doesn't leave room for the dance. We first compose the dance and then find the accompaniment for it."
Miss Sherbon and her troupe, who have worked together for three years, plan to present programs in the various towns and cities of the Middle West after the initial program in Hoch auditorium. "Then," she says, "We hope to go to New York for a time."
The program, to be given here, was worked out by this slim dark woman who also designed the costumes and scored the music. None of the dances tell a complete narrative; instead they are her comments upon the life of today. The suite occupying the feature spot on the program, is one of five dances built around five of the elements which have gone into the making of midwestern culture.

"Name trouble" is the most troublesome of those troubling the troubled producer-director-writer, Prof. Allen Crafton. His company hasn't a name. It is about to begin production of a story film that has no title. And although the cast has been chosen, names of the stars are unknown.
In true Hollywood fashion, screen tests were given all movie-struck aspirants. Likewise in true Hollywood fashion, a delay followed. During the delay, Director Crafton selected the cast. But in the meantime, Cinematographer Art Wolf, 1-43, lost the list of names that was the only key to the identity of those who appeared in the tests. Prof. Crafton would recognize the faces of his stars, but the names would be unfamiliar.

(Continued from page one) interest in planes. In fact, at one point he left college and tried to get into an Army flying school; but his eyes were not good enough, and he had to become a bleacher pilot. So he returned to college—he was a Yale undergraduate at the time—and received his degree in 1929.
His story of air travel, the outgrowth of his early interest in flying and his journalist's training, was first conceived as his dissertation for the doctor's degree. But Professor Smith found even more, and more exciting, material than he had expected; hence the full-length story on which he is now engaged. Some of his information he has dug up in the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution; more of it has come from conversations with men who were active in the early days of American flying--among them Orville Wright, a number of oldtime flyers, members of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, and government executives. Professor Smith's book is consequently one which could have been written only at this time, when air travel has become a well-organized business, and when those who took the first uncertain steps along the way are still alive to supply their unwritten memories of its beginnings.
Thereafter, he became a reporter working for newspapers in Canton and Cleveland, Ohio, and in Tacoma, Washington. Of the end of this episode, Professor Smith says: "After six years of newspaper work, I decided to become a teacher so that I could write the things I never could write as a reporter." He became an instructor and graduate student at Wisconsin in 1935, and came to the University the following year.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1940.
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Well, it's do or die for old Kansas and the N.C.A.A. title tomorrow night in the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium. The Jayhawkers left at 5:30 this afternoon for the city.
A championship tomorrow night for the Kansas team will mean the N.C.A.A. title, which is the recognized title for most colleges in the United States; gold basketballs for the team; a beautiful team trophy; and the cinching of the name, "Dean of basketball coaches" for Dr. F. C. Allen.
The Kansas team will take the floor a bit the underdog, but this is the rating that Doctor Allen would rather have for his team. All through the year it has been a policy for the "pony express" team to knock off its favored opponents. First it was a favored Oklahoma team that Kansas knocked from the play-off tournament in Wichita. Next was the highly-touted Oklahoma A. and M. cage team coached by Henry Iba, and the Allenmen toppled them from the top in the Oklahoma City game.
Finally came the Kansas City tournament of champions. Kansas was favored over the southern quintet from Rice Institute, but they were pushed hard in the second period to beat the Blue and White cagers. The "fast-breaking" Southern California Trojans were favored over the Kansans, but I guess they didn't know that the Jayhawkers liked to be considered the underdog, that Doc Allen's team never stops fighting until the last gun is fired. To prove this point the Kansans whipped the Trojans in the last 17 seconds of play to come out on top, 43 to 42.
The question is, "Can we do it again? Are we going to be able to come out on top again when we are not the favored team? Can Doctor Allen and his small cage team be rated the "best in the country" instead of just, "best in the west." We shall know by 10 o'clock tomorrow night.
In the national field: Two big national sports events take place tonight and tomorrow night respectively, besides the N.C.A.A. tournament in Kansas City. Tonight in Madison Square Garden, Joe Louis, Detroit, and Johnny Paychek, De Moines, will square off (only for a short time.) Louis is only a 10 to 1 favorite that he will successfully defend his title. In case some of you have a few minutes this evening, you might tune in N.B.C. and catch a short entertainment.
Tomorrow night, in Cleveland, two of the world's greatest distance runners will vie for championship honors in the three-mile race. Taisto Maki, outdoor three-mile champion from Finland, will meet the pride and joy of the American indoor track for the same distance, Gregory Rice, Notre Dame flash. Both of the runners have broken many records for the three-mile distance. It is slated as the "distance race of the century."
Happy birthday . . . to Man O'War on his 24th birthday. Twenty years ago the famous horse was the greatest three-year-old in racing. He is now retired to a farm.
Practice Game Today To Pick Diamond Team
The cry of "batter up" and the accompanying sound of batted balls rang over the practice field this afternoon as Coach Mike Getto's Jayhawk baseball squad played its first practice game of the season.
Still undecided on his starting lineup for the campaign opener with Rockhurst College here on April 10, Coach Getto will watch this afternoon's tilt with more than passive interest and by nightfall he should know a little more about the men who are to wear the Kansas uniform ___
John Burge, Knute Kresite, and "Red" Dugan, three candidates for opening day assignments will work on the mound this afternoon, and the Kansas manager said this morning that they might pitch for both teams before the game is over. Eldreth Cadwalader and Monte Merkel will take care of the catching duties.
Because he feels that his outfield will be equal if not superior to Big Six standard, Coach Getto has decided to shift Miller Cameron, speedy sophomore, from the outer garden to third base.
Larry Hensley, member of last year's team, Henry Horak, a southpaw who is showing plenty of batting power, Raymie Beims, Dean Martin, and Warner Coffin are being counted on to carry the load in the outfield this season.
Competition is still wide open at all the infield posts. Dorus Munsinger and Bob Hunt are staging a battle for short stop, while Norman Kraemer and Bob Chillson are alternating at the keystone sack.
At present, Getto has three candidates for first base, Darold Haynes, Lloyd Goddard, and "Red" Thompson, and he will have to delay his decision on this position until two members of the basketball team, Jack Sands and T. P. Hunter, report for practice.
Ralph Houk, Lawrence rookie catcher, who is playing his second year in the New York Yankee farm system, has been working out daily with the Jayhawks. He will report to the spring training practice of the Joplin, Mo., club of the Western Association on April 5.

Entry blanks must be filled and returned to the gym office by Wednesday, April 3.
Monday at 4:30 in Robinson gymnasium instructions will be given to all girls who are interested in intramural baseball.
A varsity team has been selected from the women's intramural class teams. Only a first team was chosen. The forwards are Lenora
Four teams are still battling it out in the volley ball playoffs after first round results were turned in. The defending champions, Delta Upsilon, defeated Phi Psi, and the top seed Sig Alphs won from Kappa Sigma. In the other two games Sigma Nu won from Phi Gam and Beta defeated their arch rivals, the Galloping Dominoes.
The playoffs are being run on a double elimination basis, thus each team must lose two games before they are finally eliminated. This syste mis designed to prevent claims that a team 'ost by an unlucky break and really should have won.
Grizzell, junior, Corbin; Kathryn Schaake, freshman, Independent; and Helen Wilson, freshman, Watkins. Lois Wisler, senior, T.N.T.; Geardine Ulm, senior, T.N.T.; and Wanda Horosko, junior, I.W.W. are the varsity guards.

Louis 10 to 1 Favorite Over John Paychek
By Jack Cuddy U.P. Staff Correspondent
New York, March 29—(UP)
Now that Joe Louis and challenger Johnny Paychek have completed training without injuries, the "official" betting odds were established today at 10 to 1 that Louis would defend his title successfully tonight.
Eddie Borden, the price-maker of Pumml Plaza, announced that it was an even-money bet that Paychek would not last three rounds. It was a 6-to-1 wager that he wouldn't so the distance. Also 2 to 1 that he didn't go five and 4 to 1 he would not go 10 heats.
Borden said, "There's hardly any betting on this fight. There's a lot of interest in it from the cross-worduzzle angle, and all the bets that are being made are of the freak variety. That's because the eastern easy-money boys question Paychek's ability and wonder—at the same time—if Louis has slipped as badly as his last fight and his training activities indicated."
Although the odds are 10 to 1, and betting is scarce, the perplexed public is flocking to the box office in such robust numbers that promoter Mike Jacobs clacks his store teeth napply and thinks this engagement will draw a bigger gate than the $38,500 registered by the Louis-Goybrawl on Feb. 9.
Jacobs says, "There are two rea- for this surprising march on the cox office: (1) the fans' final apprec-

OPINIONS EXPRESSED by STUDENTS and FACULTY
Pan-Hell Acts
Dr. J. M. Mott:
The Women's Pan-Hellenic Council felt an urgent need for the testing of food handlers in every sorority for tuberculosis. As a result of action taken in a council meeting, March 8, 1940, each sorority is requiring every one connected with the preparation and serving of the food in her particular house to take such tests as are required by Dr. Canuteson.
Editor's note: The above is a copy of a letter written by the Women's Pan-Hellenic Council to Dr. J. M. Mott, Lawrence physician, stating action taken by the council in cooperation with the Kansan's T.B. drive. A similar letter to Dr. Mott was written by the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council. Both letters represent a step toward attainment of the announced goal of the campaign, the passage by the Lawrence city council of an ordinance requiring tuberculin examination of all foodhandlers in the city.
Signed,
BARBARA EDMONDS,
Pres., Women's Pan-
Hellenic Council.
Support given the movement by these groups, and by representative boarding clubs and eating houses on the Hill show the agreement of all concerned with the plan.

NYA Must Live
To the Editor:
Undoubtedly students are not aware of it, but within the next few months 32.6 per cent of those now employed on student aid projects of the NYA will be removed from the rolls. That will mean that over 100 University students will lose their means of support, and it is a fair guess that between 50 and 75 per cent of those will be forced to leave school.
This cut in NYA expenditures will leave thousands of American youth with no work and no means of continuing their education. It has already been put into effect in some localities and will likewise be applied here unless a concerted effort is made in protesting it.
There are 4,500,000 unemployed youth in this country and the NYA has but touched the surface of satisfying their needs. The passage of the American Youth Act, carrying an appropriation of $500,000,000, would solve the youth problem permanently by setting up a permanent NYA that would assure American youth the right to work and study. This amount is small in comparison with that which is expended every year for military "defense" of this country. It would provide a social defense far greater than that which our several-billion-dollar arms program provides.
This half billion dollars a year would not permit the balancing of the American monetary budget, but it would go far in balancing the budget of human needs and rights. It would provide security for $4\frac{1}{2}$ million people who without security are not difficult to convince that other ways of government CAN solve their problem. A cut in NYA expenditures is a regressive step—the way to prevent it and its disastrous effects is to tell your congressman of your views. In Congress lies the fate of American youth today, and in you lies the responsibility for what Congress does.
AN NYA STUDENT.
To the Editor:
Leave the Roof Red
Why are workmen painting the roof of Fraser hall such a color? Why are they painting it at all? It seems to me that silver is hardly a representative color for Fraser hall roof, or for that matter for the roof of any building on the Kansas campus.
After all, this Hill is noted far and wide for its redroofed buildings, and the covering over of Fraser's historic red top with a coat of silver paint is almost sacrilegious.
Fraser is not a new building. It is one of the oldest on this campus and any attempt to make it appear more modern by painting the roof silver is foolish. Why not adhere to tradition, keep the appearance of age and dignity Fraser has always held in our minds? In short, leave the roof red.
M. GREEN.
Sees School Need
To the Editor:
To me the most apparent lack in our University curriculum is that of an orientation course. Every freshman who enrolls in this great school comes here with a wealth of wrong ideas and notions about how an education can be obtained and what to do with it as he progresses from neophyte freshman to graduated senior.
To the Editor:
An orientation course should include a rather extensive explanation of the available courses and why they are in the curriculum. By all means it should be explained to freshmen the reason why courses are in the curriculum at all. A history of traditions and customs should be included. Some instruction should be given in the social arts. Etiquette at parties, dances, dinners, teas and athletic games should be explained. Sex hygiene and marriage problems should be discussed in the modern educational sense. Formal and social letter writing could be a feature. Instruction in the manner and form of studying should be given. There are many more items of importance that every one might suggest. The idea of the course should be to acquaint the college freshman with the university life and clear up most of the problems he has to overcome with considerable difficulty later or not at all during his four year term.

Boyd answers: "Hello, Marjorie (Heimbrook)" as several Kappa sister kibitzers titter and tee hee at Betsy's discomfort.

In this month's Forum and Century Cordell Hull and Senator Capper engage in a debate over the reciprocal trade agreements. Fortunately, for Senator Capper, it was a no-decision affair.
★
Using "democracy" as a bible, Senator Capper demands that the power of making trade agreements be returned to the legislative bodies (where the Smoot-Hawley crime was perpetrated). This would make for more and better democratic "log-rolling" and "senatorial courtesy" we presume.

Yesterday's terrible wind cause no end of discomfort to many Hizites. To the student from Western Kansas it brought more than a feeling of mere discomfort. With the high wind came the dread realization that relatives and friends again choking and gasping on stiffin, dust animals and persons are bein lost and killed in the blinding deadly fog; faith and character are being eroded as only a Great Plaf wind can erode. In short, wind hell.
Checking a book out of the reserve room under an assumed name has cost two students a semester i for more and better democratic "log school. Keeping that book out probably cost some students in the sam class a grade. The balance of justi weighs heavily against the culprite No sympathy today.

Post-game feuding between K-Staters and University students was buried forever by representatives of the M.S.C. and K-State governing body in Manhattan Friday night with a new post-game goal-post ceremony.
The ceremony, consisting of the presentation of brass goalposts to the winner of the annual football game between the two schools, will take place immediately after the game in the middle of the field. The presidents of the student councils will meet for the presentation, the conclave decided.
Letters Started Negotiations
The conclave came as the result of a letter on March 3 by C. H. Mullen, M.S.C. president, to Russell Leeper,

Jayhawker Fans Fill Auditorium
Kansas City, March 30—(Special) —Swelled by 10-piece K.U. band Jayhawk rooters tonight flocked by hundreds to the Municipal auditorium for the championship battle with Indiana.
Occupying whole section at top of auditorium, the Jay Janes could be heard cheering above the roar of the crowd of 10,000 persons. The fans were wildly partisian for Kansas.
The hotels jammed with K.U. supporters. Dozens of other fans from other Big Six schools were giving moral and vocal support to Kansas. Gov. Payne Ratner and other dignitaries sat in box at center of side court.
Huge telegram with names of Lawrence merchants was read before game's start. Dr. A. J. Anderson presented Coach F. C. Allen with bag of golf balls from Lawrence fans and paid tribute to Jayhawk coach.
Four Jayhawk cheerleaders led virtually everyone in crowd in a booming Rock Chalk following the Alma Mater just before game opened.
Victory Gives Hoosiers U.S. Cage Crown
By Jay Simon, c'40
Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, Mo.—(Special)Indiana's red hot Hoosiers couldn't miss tonight as they pushed Kansas' hapless Jayhawkers all over the floor to win, 60-42.
Indiana jumped into the lead at the middle of the first half after trailing during the opening minutes. The Hoosiers spent the rest of the game pulling away. They led at the half 32-19.
Jay McCreary was the hot shot for Indiana with 13 points. Bob Allen led the Kansans with an equal number of points. Howard Engleman was close behind with 12.
Kansas Starts Fast
Kansas started fast and was ahead 10-4 with seven minutes of the game gone. Six minutes later Indiana was ahead 16-14. They were never behind after this point.
At the conclusion of the game Howard Engleman was named as captain of the N.C.A.A.'s All-American selection. Bob Allen was named to the first team. Other members were McCreary, Bill Menke, and Marvin Huffman, all of Indiana.
Kansas Threatens Once
Bruce Voran, Dick Harp and Don Ebling were named on the second team. Paul Armstrong and Andy Zimmer of Indiana made up the remainder of the team. Marvin Huffman was named as the tourney's most valuable player.
Only once during the game did Kansas threaten to overhaul the high flying Hoosiers. That was early in the second half when Bob Allen's net burning shots brought the score up to 37-26.
The game was liberally sprinkled with fouls. Ralph Miller left the contest with five seconds remaining in the first half after committing his fourth personal. Bob Dro and Captain Marvin Huffman of Indiana, were also sent out via the foul route.
Miller Fouls Out
Dick Harp and Bruce Voran were outstanding in their floor games for Kansas. Little Don Ebling and Howard Engleman did trojan work on offensive rebounds, and Bob Allen's smooth passing served nobly in staving off the undeniable drive of the men from Indiana.

Alpha Chi Omega--- Local Sorority Installed By Baker U. In 1914
By Helen Beth Faubion
Phi chapter of Alpha Chi Omega was installed here by active members of Omicron chapter from Baker University on September 15, 1914. Fifteen girls were chosen after much consideration to be the charter members of this fraternity for women.
The chapter has initiated 355 women since its founding on this campus and they have been women outstanding in many fields. Of this group 14 have received membership in Mar-
The chapter has initiated 355 wom and they have been women outstand have received membership in Mortar Board and 15 in Phi Beta Kappa. Many of Alpha Chi's national officers have been women chosen from Pbi chapter. This group has been living in its own house since December, 1927.
This chapter has always sponsored scholarship efforts, having many regulations to encourage good study habits within the house. Each year the pledge with the highest grade average is honored by having her name engraved on the scholarship cup, and if she has obtained fifteen or more hours of A's is presented with a jeweled guard for her pin.
Educators to See Rental Films
Mother's Clubs from Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City meet regularly in Lawrence. This group includes not only the mothers of this chapter, but also of the members near here.
Films from the rental library of the Bureau of Visual Instruction will be shown during the Education Conference to be held at the University April 5 and 6 in order that school administrators, teachers, and those in charge of visual education programs may see the latest and best films produced in the educational field.
The films are being shown at this particular time so that the visual education program may be included in the school budgets for the coming year. The cost-per-pupil basis has been found to be the most satisfactory method of financing the program. Under this system 20 to 50 cents a student will provide an adequate program for the average school.
Schools will be asked to indicate the films they prefer in order to make this project more useful.
(Continued from page one) president of the Kansas-State student body. Leeper's favorable reply suggested Friday night's Manhattan banquet and pact-revision.
The Kansas-K-State peace pact between the two governing bodies was revised to include abolishment of all hostilities between the student bodies during and after as well as before any athletic event.
The two-feet high brass goalposts will be made from designs submitted by the architecture students from each school. Impartial judges will select the design. Silver plaques at the bottom of the goalposts will inscribe the name of each year's winner.
The five M.S.C. representatives and nine K-Staters also decided to have an annual council meeting not later than a week before the game, to recommend an inter-school dance each year, with Matt Betton playing here and a Hill band at Manhattan, and to try to get an all-Big-Six council conclave.
The five M.S.C. delegates from the University were Mullen, John Oakson, c'40, Brewster Powers, e'40, Ed Page, l'40, and Russell Mosser, l'40.
Applications for practicing teaching positions for next fall must be made at the office of the School of Education by April 5. Fine arts students who have been practice teaching this semester must reapply if they wish to teach music or art in the fall term.
Applications for Practice Teaching Due April 5

Gamma Phi Beta Party Has Hawaiian Atmosphere
By Virginia Gray, c'41 Kansan Society Editor
All of this weekend's social life was packed into Friday night in order that the City-bound crowds could be free to attend the most important basketball game of the season.
The Gamma Phi's went Hawaiian in the decorations for their spring formal dance held in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. Large murals, palms, and coconuts, gave the dancers the impression that they were in that beautiful island. Clyde Bysom and his band furnished the musical atmosphere. The same night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building the women of the I.S.A. assumed for one night the duties of escorts at a Leap Year dance. Members of Kappa Sigma fraternity entertained guests at their
chapter house Friday, and Delta Tau Delta will hold a buffet supper tonight.

SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 1940.
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Written Saturday Afternoon
Since I wrote this column before I left for the game in Kansas City, I cannot give you the inside on any of the events that happened in the big city. But the story will be covered in completeness by Jay Simon, and is on the front page of this issue (as if you could miss it).
Did any of you all happen to listen for fifteen minutes on WREN Friday night to hear the Louis-Paychek (prize fight)? Well, it was the poorest excuse for a fight that the Madison Square Garden has put on for quite a little while. And in return, the sponsors received the bronx cheer from the paying customers that are getting plenty tired of paying good money to see set-ups like Johnny Paychek, and Jack Roper fight the champion.
It is going to kill any interest the fans might have in the fight game, if the New York producers don't quit putting such poor excuses for fighters in the ring with the "Brown Bomber." It is getting so that a listener can hardly get to the radio in time to turn it on, before the fight is all over and the "champion" is on his way out of the auditorium. Not since the days of "Fainting Phil" Scott, has this corner heard such an example of poor fighting.
Getto Has Convictions Strengthened
The least they could do is put a good spring runner in the ring with Louis and give the fans a little entertainment for their money. Fight fans mean, and say "oh for some more fights like the Dempsey-Tunney scraps." People would rather pay 40 cents and go see a good comedy, than to see many more set-ups for the Detroit Negro.
On the diamond: Friday afternoon, Coach Mike Meke put his batsmen through their paces in a six inning practice game between the Whites and the Reds. The Whites nosed out the Reds, 6 to 5, but the Reds, declared that they would have won if they had played the other three innings. Warner Coffin made a good impression at the bat when he averaged 1000 per cent, knocking out three hits out of three times at bat. . . Not a bit bad for a six inning scrimmage game. . . Coach Getto is having a hard time finding the exact infield combination that will really click. . . Many good ball players are out for these positions, but so far they have not worked together the way they should. . . Maybe Getto is looking for a Priddy, Rizzuto, and Sturm combination like the Kansas City Blues had last year.
Down around the cinders: Coach Bill Hargiss is planning to make a better showing in the outdoor Big Six track meet than the Jayhawkers did in the indoor meet at Kansas City. . . When Ray "Churchie" Harris, Big Six two-mile champion gets his leg and foot into shape, we should garner five points in that event in the Big Six and all the dual meets. . . Hargiss is hoping that J. R. Jones can remedy his back ailment and get back into broadjumping form like he showed last year in practice. . . The loose-jointed Jones jumped around 24 feet in practice outdoors last year, but so far this year, he has yet to go over 23 feet.
Team Receives Pep Telegram, 10 Pounds Candy
When 1,084 loyal Jayhawkers sent a telegram of support to the K.U. quintet before the Oklahoma A. & M. game, they little suspected they were sending pep to the contenders for the national championship.
But that is what they did literally, as well as figuratively.
With part of the surplus funds collected in the nickel assessment on all signers of the A. & M. message another telegram and a big box of candy was sent to the team last night and delivered shortly before game time.
The telegram, read by Dr. Allen to the team shortly before they went on the court last night, follows:
"Tonight the eyes of the sports world will be focused on your efforts. Every loyal Kansan is confident that you will play your hearts out and that you will win. In our opinion you comprise the greatest basketball team in Kansas history. Win or lose, you have won for yourselves a place in the heart of every Jayhawk fan. Tonight we expect to see the sweltest bunch of young men in the country prove they are the sweltest basketball players in the country."
West Vs. East In Coach Debate
Kansas City, Mo., March 30.—(Special)After engaging Dr. F. C. Allen of Kansas in a bitter debate over the respective merits of basketball as played in the East and the West, Nat Holman of the City College of New York was elected president of the National Basketball Coaches Association here this afternoon.
The coaches voted to suggest to the national rules body, convening here tomorrow and Monday, that they adopt a standard ball of brown stitched leather $ 29\frac{1}{2} $ inches in circumference and carrying 13 pounds pressure.
Sam Barry, coach of Southern California, led the fight for the standardized ball, saying that he had encountered five different types this season.
Doctor Allen was elected vicechairman of the rules committee. Harold Browne of Nebraska is the new secretary-treasurer of the coaches organization. These were the only Big Six mentors to be elected to offices.
The cage professors also voted to have the ball put in play from under the basket after free throws made on technical fouls.

Outfield Set But Infield Stumps Coach
Friday's practice game, in which the White's, captained by John Burge, defeated Eldreth Cadwalader's Reds by a score of 6 to 5, only strengthened Coach Mike Getto's convictions concerning the merits and weaknesses of his Jayhawk baseball team.
As he watched his men play through a game which was terminated by darkness at the end of the sixth inning, Coach Getto was fairly well pleased with the performance of his outfielders, but he tried several infield combinations without finding one which clicked to his entire satisfaction.
Two Jayhawk outfielders, Warner Coffin and Dean Martin, shone at the plate, Coffin bagging three hits in three times at bat, and Martin smashing out a home run.
Darrell Haynes, first base candidate, Miller Cameron, outfielder Getto his been trying at shortstop and third base, Bob Hunt, diminutive shortstop, and Larry Hensley, a member of last year's outfield, who is alternating at first base this spring, showed some promise of developing into a smoothly working infield before the season is far advanced.
John Burge started on the mound for the Reds and pitched three innings before giving way to Henry Horak, the southpaw outfielder who also pitches on occasion. Knute Kresie was the starting hurler for the Reds, and he was replaced by "Red" Dugan after a three inning turn.
Batting practice and infield plays will be emphasized during Monday's drill. Coach Getto also plans to spend considerable time on offensive maneuvers and the signal code which his players will use this year.
The Sooners defeated Baylor University three games in a row before dropping the fourth to the Bears Thursday afternoon when an error by Herb Scheffler, Oklahoma basketball star who plays first base, let the winning run across the plate. From Waco, the Sooners hopped to Austin where they were scheduled to meet the Texas University nine in a two-game series.
As the Jayhawks concluded their fourth week of practice, the Oklahoma Sooners, preseason favorites to win the baseball championship this spring got the jump on other Big Six teams by playing six games on a four-day road trip into Texas.

High Schools to Meet Here in Track, April 19
The biggest high school sports event of the year, the thirty-sixth annual University of Kansas interscholastic track and field meet, will be held at Lawrence, April 19.
A record entry list of almost three thousand athletes from 182 high schools was established last year. The number of school competing was almost the same as the previous year, but larger teams were entered by many of the schools.
Most astonishing fact about the 1939 meet was the widespread scoring. One hundred and two of the teams entered broke into the scoring, something far exceeding any previous records.
Topeka, Class A winner the last two years, and Mount Hope, which won the Class B championship for the first time last year, will be the defending champions in their respective divisions.
Topeka's Trojans have assumed a dominant role in Kansas high school track and field under Coach Fred Powers. Despite heavy losses by graduation, Topeka will have another crack team this year.
However the Trojans will have to fight off a strong field of contenders. Wichita North, winner of the K.U. meet in 1933, 1935 and 1937, looks like it will be strong again this year.
Wichita East is another challenger to the Class A crown. East was nosed out by Topeka here last year, but then turned the tables on
the trojanes at the state meet later in the season. The return to scholastic purity of Hulse, a sprint star who was ineligible last year, will help Wichita East considerably.
Wyandotte high of Kansas City, Kan. and Hutchinson, who finished in a tie for third last spring, also figure to be in the running. Wyandotte should be strong in the middle distance runs and the 440 yard dash. Good half-milers and milers are two and three deep.
Mount Hope, last year's winner in Class B, appears likely to have a hard time repeating. Dick Givens, sprint star, accounted for almost

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
Boarding Clubs Offered Use Of TB Exam
Reports from Watkins hospital today show that every fraternity and sorority house on the Hill, already notified by letter of the Health service's campaign for tuberculin testing of food handlers has responded favorably.
Cooperation of the fraternity and sorority houses was gained as a result of a measure passed by both the Men's and Women's pan-Hellenic Councils, requiring the Greek groups to act, on penalty of a fine for failure to comply.
Several houses lack but one of having their entire staffs examined. Many houses have only a few more to be examined, who are expected to report in the immediate future.
Because restaurants and eating houses in the city proper are without the jurisdiction of the hospital, even though many of them employ student help, they cannot be provided for in the Health service campaign. Thus, it devolves upon the city council of Lawrence to pass a measure requiring tuberculin examination, which would be effective in contacting all students in downtown Lawrence cafes, as well as every other food handler in the city.
In order, therefore, to extend the scope of its activities to include not only students living in organized houses, but also those who eat in independent boarding houses and clubs, the student hospital is making arrangements to contact the independent eating houses.
Cooperation from them will result in the tuberculin examination of all their staffs, both student and non-student.
But they must cooperate! Independent boarding clubs serving students primarily are offered the same TB service allowed every fraternity and sorority house. It is necessary that they take advantage of it!

William Peter Jensen, the journalism instructor with the Prussian haircut and Seandinavian sympathies, is a Master Doodler. Teaching a class, he doodles all over the room. The other night while reading and listening to the radio in his tattered shorts, the doodling Dane proceeded to doodle on his flabby, flawless skin. By the time his apartmates had arrived Jensen looked like a salty mate on an oil tanker: flags, battleships, fish and fishermen murals adorned his corpulent body.

The other day we overheard a small girl, about seven years of age ask a waiter for a "dink." The waiter, ignorant of child paternal couldn't imagine what kind of ice cream "dink" was so he asked he what she meant. Thinking he was making fun of her sensible roofer for a "dink' o water" the child out of the cafe.
It doesn't seem so long ago the we were running into the village store with a vinegar bottle and the embarrassed order "Smell that a give me a quart" And what a chon it was to get an "egg once over! It defied our limited vocabulary. The best we could do was say "wing wong, wing wong" accompanied by expressive twists of the hands Judging from the jargon of the Hi waiters, most of them haven't gotten over the "wing wong" stage.
The full time teaching staff of the University numbers 257 person. In addition, the staff at Lawrence includes a large number of part-time graduate student assistant and at Kansas City a great many physicians and surgeons who assist in the clinics or gives one or lectures a week either with compensation or for a salary of $9 a year.
