VOLUME XXXVII
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1940.
Contest Ends At 8 O'clock This Evening
Furious balloting and intensive campaigning marked the final day of the Kansan's contest to select escorts for Claire Trevor and John Wayne at the world Premiere of "Dark Command" tomorrow night.
Dark horses continued to thrust their way into the race when Pi Beta Phi switched its allegiance from Bill O'Shea, of Phi Gamma Delta, to Harry Ham, a Phi Delt, and announced a candidate of its own in Mary Jane Shartel.
Sig Chi's Serenade”
The Sigma Chi's were beating the political drums hard last night when they canvassed the campus sorority houses with an out-of-tune German band in a final effort to induce coeds to cast their ballots for Dick Mize.
Though no ballots have been counted as yet, a hot race for the feminine honor is forecast between Virginia Ford, Chi Omega, and Kayo O'Sullivan, Kappa Alpha Theta.
Contest Over At 8
The ballot boxes will be at the Kansan office until 8 tonight for late voting. At that time they will be taken to the Eldridge hotel for counting. Results will be published in tomorrow's Kansan. No results will be given until that time.
Pick Miss Cinderella
The most popular coed in the balloting will be escorted by John Wayne to the premiere. The most popular male will take Miss Trevor. Lawrence merchants today disclosed the name of their "Cinderella girl," who will be escorted to the World premiere of "The Dark

Parties Announce Election Promises
P.S.G.L.
Platform
Springing candidates and a platform on the campus at once, the Progressive Student Government League today gave men a chance to kick-if they want to about recent League refusals to athletic board pleas for funds.
It was P.S.G.L. who yawned in the face of the athletic association's deficit recently and refused to sanction a $1,850 grant to the sportsmen. But the League is still sticking by its guns. Plank number one in the red-tag platform says:
Athletic Program
"P.S.G.L. is certain that its refusal to grant $1,850 from activity ticket funds to the athletic association is sound and defensible. The K.U. athletic program is too involved for $1,850 to solve it. Only by bringing the University winning teams can we solve the athletic problem fundamentally. We propose to employ the activity reserve fund for useful projects on which small appropriations are more than a drop in the bucket: intramural programs, a speakers' bureau, and other activities which will be of benefit to all the students."
- The rest of the League's platform:
"Extension of the scope of stu-
gvernment. Students should have a voice in determining University
curriculum. P.S.G.L. proposes a facu-
ulty- student committee in each school to investigate and suggest improvements in the organization of the curriculum as a whole, the improvement of a given course, and th

Call For Relay Queen Applicants
University coeds desiring the "queenship" of the Kansas Relays must send their photographs to room 103 of Robinson gymnasium before Monday, April 8, according to an announcement today by Sam Sifers, senior manager.
The queen and her two attendants will be selected by one of the visiting university track squads competing in the Relays. Last year queens submitted their photographs to the critical scrutiny of the men on the University of Iowa track team. Betty Martin, of Kappa Alpha Theta was chosen for Queen and her attendees were Kappa Gamma's Betty Bell and Virginia Beverly of Chi Omega.
Former Relays Queens are: Elizabeth Short of Pi Beta Phi, "her majesty" in 1938, Isabel Bash of Gamma Phi Beta, the 1937 choice, and in 1936 Betty Lou McFarland also of Pi Beta Phi was the queen.
Rising Sun Platform
Both sides were ready to square off for the April 16 political imbroglio today when Society of Pachacamac issued a six-plank platform for the campaign.
No mention was made of the athletic association controversy which merited plank number one in the P.S.G.L. platform.
Back Engineers
Position of honor in the platforms goes to the Engineering Exposition. The Exposition seems headed for a place on the University budget no matter who wins the election. Both Pachacamac and the League went on record in favor of such a move.
The Pachacamac platform follows:
The Pachacamac platform follows:
"1. Further the development of men's dormitories for independent students.
"2. Have the Men's Student Council sponsor an All-University Carnival, the proceeds of which to be given to the University athletic fund.
"3. Enforce stricter inspection of rooming houses to improve lighting and sanitary conditions.
4. Take the Engineering Exposition fund out of politics and place it on the University budget.
5. Establish and maintain a placement bureau for the securing of employment for all graduating students and continue the support of the present School of Business Placement bureau.
"6. Agitation for more stringent inspection and regulation of all persons handling student food."

Track Team To Texas Relays
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
Just a few glances around at the N.C.A.A. tournament in Kansas City last Saturday night and then we will forget all about it. We still must give due credit to a fighting little Kansas cage team that went a lot further than most of us expected anyway. Then here we all are disappointed that we did not win the title of "national champions."
Keep your eyes open for the members of the Kansas team. They look like walking jewelry stores, with their gold belt buckles from the first tournament, and now with their silver basketsballs for key chains, and their 15-jewell Elgin wrist watches. They also won two beautiful trophies, one for being the western division champions of the N.C.A.A. and the other for being runner-up in the N.C. A.A. finals.
If you hear rumors that the N.C. A.A. All-American team was selected by one man, they are not far from wrong. Also, I might add that the man was a Kansas graduate. This corner thinks that the selection should be made by a group of attending coaches and that* the selection should have been made on players of the eight teams participating in the tournament.
Here and there at the N.C.A.A. . . . Sitting at the press table was James A. Bausch, former all-round star at Kansas, who said a few words over the air . . . "Chuck" Hyatt, now coach of the Phillips 66, National A. A.U. champions. . . Ray Ebling, brother of Don, and a former Kansas star, now playing with Phillips. . . Ted O'Leary, one of the greatest basketball players that Kansas ever had. . . "Frenchy" Belgard, another Kansas cage star and former Jayhawker captain. . . To say nothing of all the greatest coaches in the country gathered for the tournament and national coaches meeting.
How they saw the game: These four players saw the game from a different angle than the audience. Bob Allen probably saw about 50 Indiana players when Bob Armstrong, Hoosier forward, tried to fake the Kansas player out of position, but succeeded only in knocking him out of position, by throwing his head back and hitting Bobby in the forehead. Allen saw stars but not court stars. I wonder how John Kline felt when he was left guarding three men under the Kansas basket after one of the Indiana "fire wagon" fast breaks? Don Ebling had a terrifically hard time keeping his feet on the floor and spent a good deal of his time sliding across the 2 by 4 blocks. Guess how Ralph Miller saw the game in second half after he had seen action for the first half It was those four little fouls that put "Cappy" in the box seat for the last half of the fray.
FIRST PRIZE OF THE EVENING goes to Dr. E. E. Elbel, veteran sports announcer in this locality, when he introduced Governor Payne Ratner, as "the Honorable Governor of Indiana, Payne Ratner."

Two Strong Relay Teams Carry Jayhawker Hopes
By Larry Winn, Kansan Sports Ed
A team of 10 or 11 men will represent the University of Kansas in the Texas Relays, next Saturday at Austin. Coach Bill Hargiss said yesterday that he was not exactly sure whether he would take 10 or 11 cindermen to the southern meet. The team will leave Thursday morning at 8 o'clock. The trip will be made by automobile and the Jayhawkers will probably stop off in Norman, for a practice sometime Thursday afternoon.
A four-mile relay team of Joe Ryan, Dick Edwards, Don Thompson, and Ray Harris, will furnish the necessary competition for any other four-mile relay队. Although Harris has been out for the past four weeks with a bad foot, Coach Hargiss thinks that he will round into shape soon enough for the Texas meet. All of the men on this relay team have run the mile under 4:25 seconds so far this year and the Kansas mentor believes that this combination will click Saturday.
Although Hargiss is still undecided as to which man will run the second lap of the one-mile relay for Kansas, he did say that Bill Greene, Glenn Foy or Bill Reed, Darrell Mathes, and Kenny Hamilton would be the personnel of the faster quartet. Both Mathes and Hamilton have looked good in practice and Hargiss expects both to turn in good performances in this event.
J. R. Jones, Big Six Indoor champion and Missouri Valley title holder, will try to annex the title of Texas Relays champion in the broadjump. Jones jumped around 24 feet outdoors last year, but he has been leaping consistently around 23 feet indoors this season. He has been hindered by a back ailment but Hargiss seems to think that the injury is much better and that the Kansan will be back in jumping form.
In the pole-vault, Bill Bevan will compete with such figures as "Beefus" Bryan, of Texas, and Don Higgins, of Missouri, for the Texas title. Beven has been looking very good in practice lately and he might pull
Private Francis V. Conrad, fs, recently received his appointment as a flying cadet. The army order was issued at Moffett Field, California, where Conrad has been stationed.
Francis Conrad Receives Flying Cadet Appointment
Conrad attended Washburn College, Topeka, and the University of Kansas prior to his enlistment in the army last fall. While at the University he was a member of the R. O.T.C. rifle team.
Next event for the track team is the Texas Relays, next Saturday . . .
The Kansas Relies will be held April 19, 20. . . . Mike Getto's baseball team will open against Rockhurst, here on April 10. . . . And intramural baseball will start this week.
a surprise in this event. Bill tied for honors in the Missouri Valley indoor meet.
In case Kansas does not enter the sprint medley relay, then Hargiss plans to enter Darrel Mathes in the 100 yard dash and Glenn Foy in the 120 yard high hurdles. Mathes runs about a 9.7 seconds century when in top condition.
Subscribing to the theory that the best way to learn baseball is by playing it, Coach Mike Getto said this morning that he will probably send his Jayhawks through another five or six inning practice game this afternoon.
Baseball Team To Play Again
Time is getting short before the first battle of the season with Rockhurst college here on Wednesday, April 10, and the bulky Kansas mentor hopes to come to some decision on his starting lineup before another week of practice has elapsed.
Competition for several berths on the squad will be increased this week as the conclusion of basketball season allows Jack Sands, T. P. Hunter, and possibly one or two others to report for baseball.
Sands was the regular first baseman on last years' club, and Hunter also plays that position. With three other candidates, Darrel Haynes, Lloyd Goddard, and "Red" Thompson already working out at the initial sack, Getto is confronted by something resembling a traffic jam on the right field side of home plate.
Batters and fielders worked from midafternoon till dusk last night as Coach Getto stressed offensive and defensive maneuvers.
G. Dominoes Take Big Lead In Swimming
It looks like the Galloping Dominoes all the way in the intramural swimming meet, now under way. With the finals in the diving completed and all of the preliminaries out of the way, the Dominoes have qualified most of their team.
Wise, Sigma Nu, was by far the class of the fancy divers and won the event. Second, third, and fourth were won by the Galloping Dominoes.
The times were generally faster in most heats and the semi-finals tonight should see some close and speedy races. One interesting duel that will come up tonight, if the drawings permit, will be between Musser, Sig Alf, and Maier, Dominoes, who tied last night for the best time in the 50 yard free style.
In last night's events, the Dominoes qualified five men and their relay team. The Beta's were able to keep two men and their relay team in the events.
Summaries:
Diving (finals): First: Wise, Sigma Nu, second; Small, Galloping Dominoes, third; Dalton, Galloping Dominoes fourth; Green, Galloping Dominoes.
300 yard medley relay (two from each heat go to finals). First heat: Galloping Dominoes and Delta Upsilon; Second heat: Sigma Chi and Phi Delt. Best time: 3:12.7—Sigma Chi.
100 yard back stroke (winner of each heat to semi-finals). First heat: Dart, Galloping Dominoes; second heat: Byerley, Delta Tau Delta; third

Tennis, Golf Get Under Way
This week will be a busy one for "Dutch" Uhrlaub's racket-wielders and William H. Shannon's club swingers as they prepare for their first matches of the spring season with the University of Kansas City here on Wednesday, April 10.
Two returning lettermen, Howard Engleman, number-one man on last year's varsity, and Kermit Frankis will strengthen the tennis squad which is working out daily under the direction of Coach Uhrlaub.
Qualifying trials for positions on the varsity golf team will also be held this week.
Women's Intramurals

Evelyn Herritim, I.W.W., won the championship of the women's intramural deck tennis tournament by defeating Ellen Irwin, Kappa, 6-2, 2-6, 6-2.
In the ping pong tournament, Ellen Irwin eliminated Shirley Irwin Kappa, thereby advancing to the final round. She will meet the winner of the other semi-final match between Mary Beth Dodge and Jane Irwin, Kappas, to play for the championship.

Sports Parade
By Henry McLemore
New York, April 1.—(UP)—Six new world records were established in Madison Square Garden last night, five of them in track and field events and one in warmth of applause for a champion whose spikes have been rusty these many years.
Let others tell you of Greg Rice's smashing 13:52.3 in the three mile run; Al Bloziz' monstrous heaves of the eight and twelve pound shots; and Allan Tolmich's scissoring time in the 50 and 70 yard hurles. I would like to recapture that moment for you when Paavo Nurmi, the onetime phantom Finn, was softly introduced over the loudspeaker and came striding from the darkness of a ramp into the glare of the big arena.
He came in with the same long, full and easy lope of the Nurmi of near two decades ago, and wearing a faded blue running suit. For a second or two there wasn't a sound, save that of his spikes biting into the pine boards of the track. And for a second or two you could have sworn you were watching the same Nurmi who ran to 12 world records, and who was the mightiest running man of all time.
Then the needles of a dozen spotlights illuminated him and he became Paavo Nurmi, 42, a champion of the past, making what might well be his last run, and in many ways, his greatest run. Almost bald, his face lined by time, and lacking the depth of chest and steel of thigh and calf of the young stars who lined the track to watch him run, Paavo worked five laps, just one lap short of half a mile.
After the second or two of silence, when he finally settled into his full stride, the crowd of 14,000 who had come to contribute its bit to the Finnish relief fund, cheered his every step as if it were a step that was carrying him through the tape for a new world's mark. At the finish of his run there wasn't a spectator who wasn't standing, to better yell, whistle and clap his appreciation and admiration for the Olympic champion of 1824.
Olympic champion It was an unprecedented demonstration for track and field, a sport
in which stirring man-to-man competition provides the thrill. Nurmi was alone, and did not even have the clock for a competitor. He was running for no medal, no laurel wreath. But none of the young champions, when they broke records later on in the evening drew the cheers that Nurmi did.
When he turned his final lap Nurmi did not wait to take a bow. Shy, quiet and modest as he was when he dominated the tracks of the world, he jogged down a ramp and out of sight. He didn't appear again until just before the start of the feature three mile race between his countryman, Taisto Maki, and Rice. Wearing a dark blue, double-breasted suit, he took up a position near the turn into the backstretch and, with his old stopwatch in his hands, clocked and advised Maki.
Each time Maki whirled by Paavo leaned out and told him his time and directed a quickening or slowing of the pace. Before the race Paavo said that Maki was in much better shape than in earlier races, that his muscles had forgotten the rigors of war in the Mannerheim line, and that he would run a 13:54 three mile against the Notre Dame boy with the beer barrel chest.
Maki did just about that, too, but it wasn't good enough. Turning the final two laps at 440 speed, Rice ran away from the handsome Finn.
The season starts Thursday, April 4, and there is speculation as to whether the champion Sigma Phi Epsilon team will be able to repeat this year against such strong teams as Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Upsilon and the Galloping Dominoes.
Men's Intramurals
Friday afternoon saw the advent of softball practice for several baseball teams. The play was generally ragged but this is expected at this point in the season.
John Hocevar, the Delta Upsilon star, is the pre-season candidate for the honors of "strike out king."
Upside-Down Man Will Appear In Universal Short
Frank Annebsorg, gr K.U.'s upside down man made his initial appearance on movie f!m this week when Universal Pictures Corporation filmed a story sequence of his hand-stand shaving ect.
The film will be included on a technicolor short, "Stranger Than Fiction," reelized by Universal once a month. It is expected that it will
appear at one of the local theaters soon.
Zimmerman will cover the Kansas Relays for Universal Newsreel, and stated his intention of filming Anneberg while roller-skating on his hands atop the press box, at that time.
Cameraman J. C. Zimmerman shot 500 feet of film of the upside down man as he performed on the steps east of Corbin hall. The newsreel camera recorded Anneberg walking up and down the steps on his hands, shaving while resting on his forearms.

A 36-hole qualifying round in golf will be played his week-end. 18 holes at 2:30 Friday afternoon, and 18 holes at 8:30 Saturday morning. All golfers must get in touch with Wm. H. Shannon, golf coach before playing.

Uncle Sam Counts Noses
When the "man who comes to our house" (the census taker) to start his sixteenth decennial round of the nation today, he' not going to be quite so welcome as the iceman in the song.
For the list of questions Uncle Sam has prepared for his Q-Men to ask are personal and intimate as well as multitudinous. Thirty-one questions of the list, added since the last census in 1930, seem to be designed to pry into private affairs, and much ado has been raised about the right of the government to invade the American home with such queries.
Housewives, et al, however, need fear nothing. The questions to be asked by the census takers are not intended to pry. They are important in gaining necessary information for the compilation of data otherwise not available.
Just as federal statute requires that the census be taken, and that certain questions be asked, so does that same federal law protect the individual who gives the answer. Government agents engaged in garnering information about 132-odd million persons in the United States are required to "keep mum" regarding the information passing through their hands.
If there are persons who feel that certain information which must be included in the reports is too private to be told even to the census taker, he may seal written replies in an unsigned questionnaire and give it to the census taker to be transmitted to Washington, where professionally impersonal clerks will enumerate the answers. Provision for such evasion of oral replies was made by Secretary of Commerce Hopkins when much hullabaloo resulted after the announcement of the private queries to be included in the census.
The great white father in Washington also
Free Thought Comes First
A court order directing that the appointment of Bertrand Russell, English philosopher and mathematician, to the faculty of the City College of New York be revoked on the grounds that Russell's views on sex, religion, and morality constituted proof of lack of personal good moral character recalled the controversy that arose around the Kansas City Art Institute several years ago after the publication of Thomas Hart Benton's autobiography, "An Artist in America."
Amid the tumult and the shouting that arises as an undesirable consequence of such actions, the authorities invariably become myopic and fail to see actualities in a true perspective. In the case of the Kansas City artist, it was not Benton's ability as a painter and a teacher of painting that was questioned; rather, it was his personal life and beliefs that went on trial. So, also, the British peer's position as an eminent thinker and one of the world's most brilliant mathematical logicians seemingly came in for little consideration.
It becomes a grotesque absurdity when intellectual ability is sacrificed for the sake of exemplary moral life and beliefs, particularly in a country which was founded primarily that its people might have the very freedom of thought and speech for which such men are pilloried. Intellectual freedom more than anything else is the first requisite of a democracy.
asked college students to write home during March and request something besides the usual check. Census officials, believing the accuracy of the count of students away from home, at school, can be improved, suggested that college enrollees impress on their parents the necessity of reminding the takers of the students' existence.
Material thus gained regarding college students will be used solely for statistical purposes. It will be possible to determine from 1940 census figures the number of college graduates in various occupations, the number of unemployed college graduates, and a great deal of other important information never before available. The census will also furnish sociological data of considerable value to students doing research work. Material also will provide business men with a guide to mass buying power and to the study of part time and piece workers.
Cooperation with the 1940 census takers in every way, by every person in the country, will pay dividends in a number of ways.
Chief benefits will be to individual, business and professional interests, and the government of the United States.
A Vital 30 Days---- Five of U.S.' Major Wars Receive Start in April
Will 1940 bring the addition of names of more University men to the list of Mount Oread's war dead?
In the history of the United States the month of April frequently has been a vital 30 days. Men of the nation have been called to the colors during April for five of our six major wars.
The Revolutionary war began on the night of April 18-19, 1775—the night of Paul Revere's famous ride.
★ ★ ★
The Civil war, which was to bring a closer union of the United States, began when a force of Confederates fired upon Fort Sumter at Charleston, S.C., April 12, 1861.
An April 24, 1846, President James K. Polk declared that "by the act of Mexico herself" a state of war existed with our southern neighbors.

ROCK CHALK TALK
BY REGINALD BUXTON
Searching about for a method of giving this column a diversity of interests we ran into a medical student who loves to cut up dogs and to listen to classical music. He has more records than a mad wife could break in a year. Congenial friends and a phonograph are his idea of the elements of a pleasant evening. He is always ready to drop his studies and talk music. He dropped his studies to discuss in this column some of the more recent works which he has enjoyed.

Symphony No. 5 in C minor—
Batham
Victor M-640
Another triumph in symphonic recording by Arturo Tosenini and the N.B.C. orchestra. To many, the "Beehoven 5th" remains the concentrated ultimate in symphonic scores. Certainly, the blazing power and directness of this work has an immediate and universal appeal found in few other compositions. Mr. Tosenini's devotion to detail and perfection of performance make this album "a thing of beauty and a joy forever."
Three Famous  Scenes —Richard
Wazner Victor M-644
Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchior join their voices to produce these fine recording of the "Love Duet" and the " Liebestod" from Tristan and Isolde, and Brunnhilde's Immolation" from Die Gotterdammerung. Accompaniment is furnished by Edwin MacArthur and the San Francisco Opera Orchestra. Since Madame Flagstad has announced her intention to retire from opera at the close of this season, the appearance of this magnificent album of some of Wagner's most inspired vocal music is accepted with
gratitude by music lovers everywhere.
Francesca da Rimini - Fantasia -
Tobbielli della Vittoriano - VICTOR A.
John Barbirolli and the New York Philharmonic maintain their position in the recording world with this masterful reading of a popular composition. The old-timers here on the Hill will remember this work when it was played by the Kansas City Philharmonic a few years ago. The score depicts the voyage of Dante into Hell, and Francesca's description to him of her tragic affair with Paolo.
★
Five girls began their six weeks training in household management at the Home Management house this week. This period is required of all home economics majors in order that they may gain practical experience in cooking, budgeting, and general household work.
La Mer—Claude Achille Debussy Victor M-643
Serge Koussevitzki and the Boston Symphony Orchestra present magnificent reading of this beautiful work by the great impressionist. Mr. Koussevitzki himself expressed his intense satisfaction with the technical results of these recordings. Since the Boston maestro is well known for his interpretations of French music, particularly that by Debussy, this album should prove most acceptable to the shelves of the record connoisseurs everywhere.
Five To Home Ec House
The new girls are Ruth Clickner, c'40; Ernestine Menges, c'40; Maurine Gray, c'40; Isabel West, c'40; and Florence Columbia, c'40.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
Though we don't know anything about it over here in the department of journalism we heard a young lady yesterday swear that the man and woman who are to escore the stars of the world premiere coming up this week have already been selected. Sounds kind of silly but she swears it's the truth. Straight from the horse stuff.
We offer this as rumor, pure rumor, just to forestall any outbursts of indignation.
The pin that was put out at the Theta house last week surprised a number of people, especially the original owner. He didn't know anything was going to take place until he walked in after dinner to be met with a batch of kissing in the face from the sisters as a group.
It seems it would pay to keep informed about your own engagement.
A local marble machine has been paying out an average of 800 nickels, sorry we mean "free games," every day. Since we can safely assume that the machine is not there to help needy students think how many "free games" that thing must take in each day.
A college education costs like the very devil doesn't it?
Following the Indiana-Kansas massacre in the City Saturday the inscriptions on Dyche museum take on new significance. Look closely at the second gargoyle from the right on the south side of the building and see the "Rock Chalk" inscribed there.
We didn't know it was there either until yesterday.
Then look at the first gargoyle head on the east side and see the "Jay Hawk?" written there. The question mark is the factor lending the significance.
Add things carried too far: The home economics majors living in the practice house for six weeks of their senior year can't smoke inside because the house is a University building.
Perhaps the fire marshall could well afford to investigate the screens nailed down on the windows in front of the fire escape exits at a sorority house on the Hill. The escapes themselves have been known to be greased in the last few years.
We don't remember the name of the house but it is located right across the street from Bricks.
This very effectively halts anyone coming late after the door is locked, and incidentally; would just as effectively keep anyone from using the fire escapes in case of fire.
It has been suggested that the fire escapes be cut up into bars and placed over the windows, thus making the thing perfect.
Engineering Graduate Made Magazine Editor
Recently appointed editor of Engineering News Record, Waldo G Bowman, e23, has been on the editorial staff of that weekly publication for 15 years. After his graduation here, he supplemented his training with work in the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. He has written extensively on bridge building and structural and research subjects of engineering, the News Record was established in 1884.
Local Phi Beta Kappa Chapter Is 50 Today
Fifty years ago today Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic fraternity, was founded at the University.
On April 2, 1890, eight members of the faculty met and organized the society. These charter members were Francis Huntington Snow, James Hulme Canfield, Lucien Ira Blake, Alexander Martin Wilcox, Arthur Graves Canfield, Arthur Richmond Marsh, David Hamilton Robinson, and Max Winkler, of whom A. G. Canfield is the only one still living. James Willis Gleed 79 and Will
The first president was Mr. Snow, who later became chancellor. The other officers were, J. H. Canfield, vice-president, A. G. Canfield, secretary; and Max Winkler, treasurer.
At the first meeting two alumni,
James Willis Gleed, '79, and William Herbert Carruth, '80, and five seniors, Danial Edward Esterly, Nettie D. Gooddell, William Hill, Fred Liddeke, and Edwin Emory Slosson were elected into the chapter.
Air Corps Men To Be Here Soon
All senior men interested in gaining admission to the U.S. army air corps will have an opportunity to make application to a board of officers from the air corps within the near future.
This board, one of many which are being sent to the major colleges and universities in the United States, will give interested men information about the air corps and are qualified to make a preliminary test of a candidate wishing admission.
University fellowships with a stipend of $400, are open to graduate students who have had at least one year of study in a recognized graduate school. The scholarships are open to graduates of colleges and universities of recognized standing. Their stipend is $250.
Other scholarships and graduate assistantships have not yet been announced.
Scholastic Awards Granted Graduates
The leased property is a part of the land owned by Charles Canterbury, Jr., a Colorado rancher and is situated in a region of particular geologic interest. Dinosaur bones have been excavated there and specimens are now in the Smithsonian Institute and the Denver Museum.
The awards have been granted in the fields of sociology, etymology, psychology, geology, history, English, mathematics, education and political science.
Dr. K. K. Landes, who acted as the representative of Kansas University, completed the contract while on his way to Salt Lake City to attend the
Construction is already underway at the newly-leased geology camp site in the Garden Park area near Canon City, Colo. The 25-year lease was drawn up Monday and work began the same day on the two dormitories and plans were laid out for the other buildings.
The buildings necessary for the field class should be completed by the time that class convenes this summer. Geology students from here have been making an annual summer field trip to Garden Park for 22 years.
Four University fellowships and eight University scholarships have been granted to graduate students for next year. Names of those receiving the awards will not be announced until the graduate scholarship department has received letters of acceptance from each. The announcement will be made about April 15.
At an estimated cost of $10,000, dormitories, a recreation hall, bathhouse and staff house will be erected for the use of field classes in geology, Dr. K. K. Landes, professor of geology, said. While the present plans are essentially for the regular field class, accommodations are being planned for a larger group of geology students who would like to go the second part of the summer.
Begin Work On Geology Camp
Hospital Patients Improve Steadily
Harold Haight, e'40, and Eugene Maxwell, e'40, pneumonia patients at Watkins Memorial hospital, have improved steadily since they were admitted, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said today. "But neither of them will be released for a few days," he added.
Kenneth Reed, ph. who recently underwent an appendectomy, was released from the hospital this morning.
As his regular request reading program tonight, Robert Calderwood, professor of speech and dramatic art, will read a cycle of poems which he calls "A Thing of Beauty." These poems are chosen from the works of Keats, Shelley, and contemporary poets. The program will be broadcast by radio station KFKU at 6 p.m.

Annual Spring Concert By Symphony Tonight
By Bob Trump, c'42
Spring settled over Mount Oread today to provide an appropriate back drop for tonight's concert in Hoch auditorium by Karl Kuersteiner and the University Symphony orchestra. The program will begin at 8 o'clock.
Beaming in elation over their victory in the Daily Kansan's popularity poll are four University students. They are (left to right) Ivan Cain (Independent), runner up in the men's division; Kay O'Sullivan (Kappa Alpha Theta), runner up for the Coed honor; Virginia Ford (Chi Omega), winner of the most popular woman's contest; and Dick Mize (Sigma Chi) winner of the men's division. All four will escort, and be escorted by, stars to tomorrow night's world premiere of "The Dark Command".
Intensifying the atmosphere of spring, the orchestra will play Carl Preyer's "Fairy Suite." This will be the first performance of the composition by the "grand old man" of the School of Fine Arts, who has been a member of the music faculty for 48 years. The orchestration for this number has been made by "Symphony No. 4 in F Minor," long Professor Kuersteiner.
"Fairy Suite", which will be played in five movements, tells the story of two living dolls, Punch and Columbine, and their experiences with a fairy queen.
Rounding out the program will be two additional selections, chosen by the director for their brilliance and audience appeal. Tschaikowsky's
Butler to Head Union Board
Carter Butler, c'41, has been elected president of the Union Activities Board by the Union Operating Committee.

"Symphony No. 4 in F Minor," long accepted as a masterpiece of symphonic literature, will open the concert, and Rimsky-Korsakoff's "Caprice on Spanish Themes, Op. 34," popularly known as "Spanish Caprice," will be the final number of the evening.

The foundations of an old brick building on the plot proper were cleared away Monday and Tuesday, and after shrubbery and more debris have been removed and the ground leveled off excavations will begin.
A gift to the University from Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Battenfeld, of Kansas City, Mo., the dormitory is in memory of their son, John, who was killed last December in an automobile accident near Lawrence. He was a junior in the College.
Furnishings for the hall also are to be the gift of the Battenfelds, and friends of the family have made specific donations to be included in the building's furnishings.

Mrs. White Speaks At Dinner
Small Crowd Sees Sherbon Dancers
Miss Sherbon's interpretation of "To Youth" was impressive, if not the best of the numbers she presented. She was assisted by Frederick Rogers, perhaps one of the best male dancers in her troupe.
By Bill Koester, c'41
The costumes worn by the troupe were beautiful and brief. In only one sequence did the men in the company wear shirts, and that number featured an interpretation of a soap-box oration. Most of the costumes were patterned in a blaze of color, featuring flowing lines and striking contrasts. Miss Sherbon's personal raiment was an outstanding part of the concert.
Alice Sherbon and her company of dancers presented their interpretations of rhythm and grace in the modern manner last night in an hour-and-a-half concert in Hoch auditorium.
Before a mediocre audience of lovers of The Dance, Miss Sherbon sent herself and her troupe seemingly into the realm of subconscious imagination in nearly every number to demonstrate the allocation of beauty and grace to the emotions and events of everyday life. Miss Sherbon herself did three solo numbers.
The intricacies in both the movements and the inspiration behind them were at times quite representative of the subject being interpreted, and at other times difficult to follow.
The group, composed of dancers from and around Lawrence, will appear in Kansas City, Mo., soon. It has trained for the present tour for more than a year.
Members of the piano duos are:
Jeanne Moyer, fa'42, and Barbara Brooke, fa'41; Eileen Martin, fa'42,
and Marshall Butler, fa'42. The string ensemble is made up of Ugenine Ninger, fa'42, violi; Lorraine Mcntyre, fa'40, second violi;
Vincent Bleecker, fa'40, viola; Saral Mcnler, fa'41, cello.
Students will participate in two programs to be broadcast by radio station KFKU this week.
Two Music Groups On Air This Week
Delta Upsilon fraternity, in conjunction with the Pan-Hellenic council, had a smoker and buffet supper with independent men last night.
Bernard McNewn, fa'42, from the studio of Howard C. Taylor will present a piano recital at 6 p.m. today.
Two piano teams from the studio of Allie Merle Conger will broadcast at 6 p.m. and a string ensemble from Karl O. Kuersteiner's studio at 6:15 p.m. Friday.
Corbin Hall Holds Formal Reception For Faculty
Mrs. William Allen White of Emporia was the guest speaker at the annual Matrix Table banquet given by members of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority, held at the Colonial tea room last night.
Mrs. White, who was introduced by Maurine Mong, c'40,
president of the sorority, spoke on the subject of books. She reviewed Vincent Sheean's "A Personal History" but interspersed
the review with personal ___
the review with personal sketches of her travels and family life.
The Annual Formal Faculty reception was held by Corbin hall last night. Lenore Grizzell, ed'41, house president. Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, Miss Hermina Zipple, and Mrs. Charles F. Brook were in the receiving line. Spring flowers were used for decorations. Those who assisted at the tea tables were Miss Sara Laair, Miss Florence Black, Miss Amida Stanton, Miss Margaret Anderson, Miss Nelle Barnes, Mrs. Ruth McNair, Miss Maude Elliott, and Miss Lalia Walling.

Encouraging not for graduating lawyers. If you'll look at the way Uncle Jimmy is pointing out for that budding lawyer you'll see that it leads straight to the statue in back of Fraser, the man with the shovel.
Mary Beth Dodge was complaining bitterly that Howard Engleman was being plugged as one of the premiere candidates. She doesn't want to go stag. That's confidence.
Schiller Shore planned his April Fool day a week ahead this year. He found thirty old keys; tied notes to them saying, "Kenneth Postelthwaite, Call for Reward if Found;" then he proceeded to drop them all over Lawrence and the Hill.
Have wonder if anyone has called about the bottle opener he tied the same note to and dropped where a prominent faculty member shouldn't miss it.
Postelthwaite's phone has been ringing almost constantly for two days.
Larry Winn has been spending all of his time with Betty Muchnic of the Theta house the last month. Yesterday he borrowed Muchnic's car to take former-flame Myra Hurd to the Kappa house to get his picture back.
With the final outbreak of spring the park in back of Frank Strong has seen filled with the usual couples covering the greensward every night. Portable radios have been a new wrinkle this year.
The limit was reached Sunday night when the radios played softly; the blankets lay thick; and then everyone rose to go home when an alarm clock went off indicating approaching closes hours.
'Holiday' Tickets On Sale Thursday
Tickets for the Dramatic Club's play 'Holiday' 'opening in Fraser Theater Monday go on sale tomorrow morning at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall. Students must exchange their activity book stubs for reserved seats either at the office or by phoning in, Don Dixon, who is in charge of ticket sales for the show, said.
A preliminary performance of "Holiday" was given Friday night before an audience of some two hundred high school students as a part of the activities on the program for the drama festival Friday and Saturday.
The 11 members of the cast began rehearsals again Sunday night and will continue this week in preparation for a one-night performance at Wichita Friday.
The trip to Wichita is in exchange for the Wichita Players production of "Her Master's Voice" given here earlier this season.
The truck which will carry scenery, properties, and the costume trunks will go to Wichita Thursday. The cast members will drive down Friday morning.
.
Of the 4,637 students in the University, about 1,200 live in fraternities and sororities and 236 in women's dormitories, the others in private Lawrence homes. A Survey at the opening of school this year showed that there were places in sororites and fraternities for as many students as wished to become members. In addition to the opportunities for fellowship afforded by these organizations the Memorial Union furnishes an opportunity for all the students to meet on an equal plane.
Werner and Five I.S.A. Members to Purdue
Dean Henry M. Werner and five members of the student body will leave early tomorrow morning to attend the third annual meeting of the National Independent Student Association at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, Friday and Saturday. The students accompanying Dean Werner are Carter Butler, c'41, Charlotte Steele, fa'41, Howard Sells, c'43, Paul Gilles, c'43, and Mary Gene Hull, c'43.

Workers who once took a can of beer home at night now are often told at their saloons that "all beer sold here must be drunk on the premises."

World Union Solution For Lasting Peace?
Solution of world problems as advanced by Clarence K. Streit in his latest book, Union Now, seems rather idealistic at first glance, but on closer scrutiny, it offers much that is practicable.
That in itself smacks muchly of the League of Nations, which venture proved itself ineffective after repeated vain attempts to join the countries of the world into a league for the promotion of peace.
Streit proposes that the union should have a means of enforcing its principles and of perpetuating itself, and to this end, he suggests a union citizenship, a union defense force, a union postal system, and union money. As well, he asks for free trade between member countries of the union, similar to the free trade enjoyed among the individual American states.
Streit proposes a union of all democracies. He would include in this the United States, Great Britain and her dominions, France, the Scandinavian countries, Switzerland, and Belgium. But the writer would not stop there. To that list he will add any country which might wish to join the union.
Not Utopian is Streit's viewpoint regarding free trade. Establishment of free trade among the nations of the world, however, should never be dependent upon the nations' joining together in a world union. Nor should free trade be inhibited because of differing systems of government in different countries. A democracy should not refuse to trade with any country because that country happens to believe in the Communistic, Socialistic, or any other form of government.
As prerequisite for joining the union, he requires that the member countries agree to certain democratic principles regarding their home government... Totalitarian states could join if they chose, but their people would have to be given a voice in the government of their country before the union would grant the country admission to the select circle.
Avoidance of the wasteful system of economic strife and monetary security—basis of
Joining of the armies of the nations included by Streit in his world union would enable them to reduce radically their numbers and expense, and yet still be strong and sufficient enough to protect the union from any combination of outside powers. Here Mr. Streit's argument fails to consider whether the people of one country would be willing to fight alongside people of another race, even though in the union.
Streit's plan has a number of worthwhile and valuable considerations, however, other than that regarding free trade. Under his plan, each country would continue to carry on her own traditions and customs. Here again the plan's author draws an analogy with the localities in the United States, wherein he fails to consider whether the regional differences in this country are not sustained because of one federal government over them all.
It might be much easier to gain Streit's world union if there were free trade among nations today. It would not necessarily be easier to gain free trade as a result of nations joining in a world union as proposed by Streit.
most war and social problems today—would result from the banding together of democracies in Streit's union.
Yes, Streit's plan has many good points. It has several that are not too practical. But on the whole it is a better answer to the world's ills than any panacea so far submitted.

Exhibition of pictures by the Pictorial Photographers of America in New York provides opportunity for the public to note the degree to which the photographic art has improved since its inception.
Pictures in the exhibition are divided into various categories, labelled pictorial, advertising, natural history, and press photography. Those pictures listed under pictorial are so much like real paintings that they are almost copies. They deal with similar subjects. History pictures are intended as educational. The most effective of the group, those titled press photos, are slightly bloody. One shows a woman caught between two streetcars.
But the payoff comes in the group labeled advertising and publicity. Ostensibly to gain the attention of those who otherwise wouldn't come, there are hung full-color pictures of Hedy Lamarr and Clark Gable.

THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

Publisher ___ Watt Meininger
On July 1, 1940, the famous Kappa Kappa Gamma sisters, Doris and Helen will be in Hollywood taking motion picture screen tests.
EDITORIAL STAFF
The Johnson sisters have already signed an option with the 20th Century Fox studios. By signing this option, they agreed to be in Hollywood by July 1st. In return, the studio promised them a screen test before 15 days after their arrival. The parents of the sisters also signed this option.
Editor In-Chief Richard Boyce
Associate Editor Loretta Diggs
Assistant Editors Gerald Banker and Helen Markwell
Feature Editor Betty Coulson
Doris shrugged when she mentioned the fact that, "the studio wants us to have some training in acting before we come out, but it is not compulsory." Neither of the girls have had any such training, but both shyly admit that "we will have to have more than just a little training."
NEWS STAFF
The studio based its selection solely on the pictures of the two girls in the December 11, 1939 issue of Life magazine. Immediately, the studio wanted the girls to make the trip west at Christmas, but the Kappa beauties wished to have it postponed until this summer.

If the screen tests turn out to be good, then through the option, the studio has the right to put the girls in a training school for six weeks. If the sisters prove their ability, they will probably be asked to sign a contract.
Doris is 21 years old and she has brown hair. Helen is 19 years old and is a decided blonde. When Doris was asked "if she'd like to be a movie star," she hesitantly said, "I don't know whether I'd like it or not."
subservication rates, in advance, $3.00 per year, $1.75 per semester. Published at Lawrence, Kansas daily during the school matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
Although neither girl thinks, "we have a chance because of no experience," each did admit that it would be "exciting" and "something new."
Wheeler Still At It--human behavior. He has made a motion picture correlation of climate and historical events from 600 B.C. to the present which has won recognition from various scientific groups.
Largest Campus Project Employs 116 Students
It would take one person better than 10 years, working 8-hour days, to reach the total of 29,575 hours which have been applied by N.Y.A. workers on the project being carried on in room 15 of Frank Strong hall.
Since that time, the project, (which is easily the largest on the campus and before completion will probably be the largest on any campus) has employed 116 university students. These 116 students have collected a file of fifty thousand art samples to show the history of art, have built up a card index file of 100,000 cards on historical events, and compiled twenty thousand typed pages of historical data in their extensive research.
All of this data and much more will eventually go into Dr. Wheeler's "Big Book." This 125 pound book is $7 \frac{1}{2}$ feet wide when opened out and has pages 18 inches high. It too, is kept in room 15 and from one to three workers are usually recording in it.
Room 15 is known in the psychology department as the 'cycle room' for it is here that Dr. R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, and his corps of N.Y.A. workers are conducting their research on "The Effects of Climate on Human Behavior."
Dr. Wheeler began work on this problem in 1933, he revealed today in an interview, and when the N.Y.A. was introduced in 1934, this project was approved for student labor.
The purpose of all this compilation, Dr. Wheeler explained, was to prove his hypothesis that human behavior, down through the ages, has been influenced by climate and that climatic cycles cause fluctuations in
At the present time, the staff is engaged in preparing a correlation of climate and wars which is to be published this summer.
Walker Will Review Book at Classical Association Meeting
A. T. Walker, professor of Latin and Greek, will be one of the speakers at the 34th annual meeting of the Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri to be held at Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia Friday and Saturday.
Dr. Walker will review "The New Deal in Old Rome" by Henry J. Haskell at the Saturday morning meeting. This book is one of the several which will be reviewed as recent books for teachers and students in this field.
Other members of the University faculty who will attend are: Miss Mary Grant, associate professor of Latin and Greek; Miss Winnie Lowrance, assistant professor of education.
Anneberg Speaks to Rhadamanthi
"The Poetry of Vachel Lindsay" was discussed last night by Frank Anneberg, gr., at the regular meeting of Rhadamanthi, poetry society. The two types of Lindsey's poetry, colorful word pictures and strong poem-songs, were considered.
The meeting was held in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.

Well, hard-luck Hargiss will take his charges down to the Texas Relays next Saturday in an attempt to bring home some of the laurels that the Texas team always takes from the Kansas Relays.
The team will leave at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning in motor cars. It is a probability that the cindermen will stop off at Norman, Okla., for a short work-out before they climb back into the crowded autos again. Then the squad will probably have another practice, either at S.M.U. in Texas or T.C.U.
If J. R. Jones, broadjumper, has really recovered from his back ailment as Coach Bill Hargiss reports, he should be one of the leading contenders for the broadjump title. As was seen in his last year's practice jumps, Jones is capable of leaping around the 24 foot mark. Jones is a former Southwest high school star from Kansas City, Mo. Hargiss is also thinking of using Jones in a position on a sprint medley relay team, but the Kansas mentor is not sure that he will enter such a team.
Don't get too excited about the rumor that Ralph "Cappy" Miller, football and basketball star, will be out on the cinders in a few days. Miller said that he was going to rest awhile before he does anything. "Cappy" is thinking about doing a little work on the low hurdles, on which he starred in his high school days at Chanute.
The time comes around again when Bill Hargiss gets his freshman track men out on the cinders and puts them through their paces. Then he gets that gleam in his eye and thinks that he can see a good varsity track squad. Again this year, Hargiss is much impressed by his yearlings especially his quarter-milers.
Excitement is beginning to run high around the campus. Most of the fraternities are beginning to ask rushees up to the Eighteenth Annual Kansas Relays, on April 19-20. It is rumored that it will be Glenn Cunningham's last appearance on the cinders. Credit will probably be given the Kansan miler, by naming the Saturday of the Relays "Glenn Cunningham Day." Glenn will probably not even run in a competitive race, but he might give a farewell exhibition.
Late developments around the inders: Bill Greene Jayhawker quarter-miler, pulled a leg muscle yesterday in practice, but Hargis said that he would probably run in the southern meet anyway. Things are beginning to look black again for the Jayhawker thin-clads.
Entries for the high school meet on April 19 are really pouring in to the athletic office. Only a week remains before the entries are due. In Class A, Paola, Ellis, and Oberlin have sent their entries. Kiowa, was the first Class B high school to send in its entries. Emmett, Gardner, and Reading followed in that order. So far, no college or university entries have been received by the athletic office. Plans are well under way for the event and the list of officials will be out in the near future. A "special mile race" will be one of the features of the Relays this year.
Scrimmage On Docket Of Spring Gridsters
A slow scrimmage was held under the direction of Coaches Gwinn Henry and Vic Hurt last evening by the spring gridsters in a wind, approaching a near-gale.
Paced by a fast backfield, Chuck Weinstram showed up exceptionally well, hurling bullet passes to the receiving arms of Denzil and Chet Gibbons, Don Pollom, Bob Hagen, Grant Hunter and others.
Offensive work was given special attention by the coaches who ran the men through a number of such plays. Blockers had to be on their toes to make holes in the line for the ball carriers to meet the approval of their tutors.
Jake Fry, a lettered backfield man, plunged through the line for several appreciative gains. Ed Hall, an aggressive fullback retained from last year's squad, drove through his opponent teammates in his usual persuasive manner.
Linemen such as Holloway, Hunter, J. Kerns, Bernstein, Massare, Hartman, and Dalrymple constituted a fairly strong offense.
Mike Getto's protegee, Grant Hunter, from Pennsylvania, made known his presence when runners attempted to go by his left end position.
Practice in punting, passing and receiving passes required nearly an hour of the squad's practice period. With a stron gwind at their backs, Hall, Weinstram, and Vandaveer made boots as far as 70 yards, which were uncertain in their destination, and swerved wildly in the air. Denzil Gibbons nabbed several of these punts and got away for speedy returns.
Don Pollom, a freshman, promises to be in the front row by fall.
Wayne Wilson, blond-headed letterman, did much of the centering
Ping Pong Tourney To Begin Monday

Six Defending Champions Back For Kansas Relays
For the first time in the history of the Kansas Relays, defending champions will compete in every one of the field events at the big track and field carnival April 20.
All six of last year's winners in the field events are back to defend their titles. Two of the men will be shooting for their third straight championships.
"Glamour boy" of the Kansas Relays the past two years has been Beefus Bryan, colorful University of Texas pole vaulter. The Longhorn ace won the pole-vault both years, setting new records on each occasion. In 1839 he vaulted 14 feet 2 inches here, and 14 feet 1 at the Border Olympics.
Olympic Other two-time winner is big Elmer Hackney from Kansas State. Hackney pushed the iron ball 50 feet to win here as a sophomore and last year set a new meet record in winning.

Two Lineups Announced By Mike Getto
Two combinations upon which Mike Getto has looked with favor will take the field this afternoon as the Jayhawk baseball team plays still another practice game by way of conditioning itself for the coming battle with Rockhurst here one week from today.
Getto announced this morning that negotiations have been completed with officials of the University of Missouri to move back the dates of the Tiger-Jayhawk series from April 19 and 20, to April 16 and 17. Although the games are to be played at Columbia, as originally scheduled they conflicted with the Kansas Relays, and so the change was made.
The Kansas coach also issued a call, asking all men interested in freshman baseball to report to the practice field today or tomorrow afternoon. The freshman squad will be placed under the tuetlage of Frank "Buck" Bukaty, but Getto will oversee many of the team's workouts. Games between the varsity and freshman nihes will be played as the season progresses.

American nineteenth century transportation and the actual premiere showing at the Granada and Dickinson theaters tomorrow night. April 4 promises to be the day of the year 1940 for downtown Lawrence.
Word was received at the Republic picture headquarters here today that blond actress Claire Trevor, who co-stars in "The Dark Command" with John Wayne, will not be able to appear in Lawrence for the premiere, because of a radio broadcasting complication. Her doctor, officials said, will not permit her to make the trip by air. But the feminine star's place has been filled with Hollywood players, Wendy Barrie, Ona Munsen, the Belle Watling of "Gone With the Wind", and June Story. The list of stars is made complete by the male actors, Gene Autry, who will head the parade tomorrow afternoon, and John Wayne, Gabby Hayes, Roy Rogers and Walter Pigeon, who appear in the picture.
The stars will be first presented to Lawrence from an especially constructed platform at the Santa Fe station at 10:15, and at 10:45 they will appear at the Eldridge hotel. At the station they will be greeted by the reception group of five University girls.
The parade tomorrow afternoon, which has been called the "cavalcade of American transportation" since it will be made up of 23 historical wagons from Ft. Leavenworth, will start from Haskell Institute at 1:30. Gene Autry, singing western star, will lead the line of march.
At 7:15 tomorrow evening, or soon after dusk, a re-enactment of the burning of Lawrence during Quantrill's raid will be staged by Hollywood technicians in South park. The hotel set has been prepared so that it will not actually be burned but the illusion will be the same as was produced in "Gone With The Wind" when Atlanta was burned.
The premiere itself starts with the first stage presentation of the stars at the Granada theater at 8:30 p.m. At 9:00, they will be presented at the Dickinson theater. The first showing of the picture, "The Dark Command" will follow in each case.
Exhibit Kansas Clay At Chicago Convention
The Kansas State Geological Survey will have a small exhibit at the American Association of Petroleum Geologists convention in Chicago. April 10, 11, and 12.
The exhibit will consist of samples of Kansas clays and bulletins of the survey work. The purpose of showing the clay is an attempt to induce brick and tile industries to consider the clays taken from Ellsworth, Lincoln, Cloud Republic, and Washington counties.
Several members of the faculty, and graduates of the geology department expect to attend the convention. Thy are: G. E. Abernathy, R. C. Moore, K. K. Landes, J. M. Jewett, R. H. King, R. P. Keroher, Charles Williams, gr., and Jacob Lemmons, gr.

STARS INVADE CITY
Chamberlain Confident British Will Win War
(By United Press)
London, April 4—(UP)—Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said in a speech today that he was 10 times as confident of victory as he was when the war started, that Britain was ready for an intensified war or a long one, that the blockade was going to drain Germany's life blood, and that Britain was not going to let Germany profit idefinitely by unscrupulous warfare.
Chambelain spoke to the central council of the dominant national union of conservative and unionist associations, as head of the conservative party. ___
"Hitler missed the bus," he said of Germany's failure, despite its superior preparation for war, to wage big scale warfare. Thanks to the seven months breathing-space which non-intense war had given Britain, he said, it was able to face the future calmly, steadily, whatever might come. And this time, he said, the allies would not be
cheated of the fruits of victory but would assure themselves of the elements of European security.
Only yesterday, Field Marshal Hermann Goering had hinted that when the time came Germany would strike "in the west." Chamberlain indicated that Britain was fully ready.

John Wayne, one of the tall, silent men, was the tall, silent man on the stage and off. When asked to say a few words to the "fans," Wayne turned from his name-writing and orated "hello." It took a bit of Hollywood promoting to get Wayne to say more.

Now He Feels Sick U.C.L.A. Student Locks Self to Ann Sheridan
(By the United Press)
Hollywood, April 4—Dick Brunnenkamp who handcuffed himself to Ann Sheridan and swallowed the key reported today that he was suffering from a slight stomach ache.
He said he didn't know whether it was caused by the hardware or a midnight supper the "oomph" girl bought him after a locksmith severed their bonds.
Brunnenkamp, 19-year-old junior at the University of California at Los Angeles, spotted the red-haired Ann as she entered the preview of her first starring picture last night, slipped hand-cuffs around her wrist and his, popped the key in his mouth, and gulped. The key slid down nearly as easily as a goldfish. "I ought to slap you down," re-torted the startied Miss Sheridan.
Fans stoop pop-eyed in the lobby of the Hollywood theater while Richard looked at his victim and breathed like a swain of the silver sheet: "At last."
Flashlights boomed, her escort, Jeffrey Lynn, looked aghast, and reporters said to themselves: "A press agent stunt."

Symphony Didn't Jam Rimsky-Korskoff Piece
Prof. Carl Preyer's "Fairy Suite" was the hit of the evening performance of the University Symphony concert last night in Hoch auditorium. The suite, based on the well-known story of Punch and Columbine, was written by Professor Preyer, professor of piano in the School of Fine Arts, about five years ago. Karl Kuersteiner, director of the University orchestra, orchestrated the composition.
The "Symphony No. 4 in F Minor" (Tschaikowsky) was satisfactorily done, especially the last movement. One of Tschaikowsky's better known compositions, the symphony is outstanding in that it is one of his few numbers which has not been popularized.
Rimsky-Korskoff's "Caprice on Spanish Themes, Op. 34" completed the program. All rumors that the orchestra was jamming on the fourth and fifth movements of the piece are unfounded: that off-beat is really in the score.
ROCKY ROSE
"I want to know who I have to take to the show," he said shyly, and somebody 200 heads back said he blushed.
Frank and earnest Rog Rogers played his part well too. Looking like an eagle scout, Rogers grabbed a couple of mikes and said a few good, clean words to the youth of Lawrence. Later in his hotel room, Rogers slightly forgot the youth of Lawrence when he gargled "refreshments" right in front of a bell hop. Somehow, the bell-hop wasn't disillusioned.
Herded to Eldridge
Though the less wild of the wild west crew were relatively ignored, they managed a few words on the loud speaker.
When all public relations were completed, promoters herded the stars into their respective autos and Hollywood was off to Hotel Eldridge to get as close to Hollywood as possible.

Bad Posture Results From Copying Models
Boston (UP)—Ninety out of 100 women stand and walk incorrectly—and clothes models are to blame—says Miss Ruth Constance Duffey, Boston University's director of physical activities for women.
"A slinking mannequin looks like a million." Miss Duffey says, "and women try to imitate her—but from the waist down the beautiful clothes colt is askew.
"Her curves are right but her lines are wrong. And her influence on the average female's posture is to be lamented."
In her work Miss Duffey analyzes about 2,000 female forms a year and she has found that the average woman stands like she thinks the models do—hips forward and chest concave.
"That's bad," Miss Duffey says, "the body should be balanced around a straight line that would pass from the ear, through the shoulder, hip, knee and ankle bone—or a point slightly in front of it."
High heels are not harmful for women, if she wears them in moderation, according to Miss Duffey. But she insists, women should vary their shoes, wearing high medium and low heels as the occasion demands. The best height heel for a woman is $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches high, she believes.
Miss Duffey believes the critical improve posture and she also suggests the following rules:
Expand ribs
Put ear over shoulder by pulling
back your head.
Push shoulders down towards the floor.
Relax knees.
Lift high spot on chest. (Everyone has a high spot, she says, and if you try to put your finger on it you can't miss.)
Closing bours will be 11:45 p.m. today in order that women of the University may attend the world premiere, Othene Huff, c'40, president of the W.S.G.A., announced today.

The weekend of festivities will get off to an early start today with the whole of Lawrence making plans to attend the town's first premiere and all the activities connected with it.
There being no varsity scheduled for this Friday, members of the Acacia and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities plan to entertain their dates with dances of their own.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
The parade downtown this afternoon made the original Quantrill dein's look pale. The parade was planned on a big scale. It took two hours to pass any one point; included 48 separate units; and was two and a half miles long.
Many of the cars and trucks were army units from Ft. Leavenworth. Somebody must have pulled some good strings to get the U.S. Army to advertise for Republic Studios.
The whole theme of the parade could be seen in the two yoke of oxen that ambled by. It looked like a lot of bull from where we stood.
The threats rampant on the Hill yesterday to burn the false front Eldridge House in South park pressurely apparently didn't jell. It stam was holding its own with the rest of the fakes when the parade went by.
And the carriage that Lincoln rode in when he stayed that one night in Leavenworth was in the parade. If all of the beds and carriages Old Abe slept and rode in during that one short visit to Leavenworth were laid end to end they'd reach from here to the Lincoln monument in Washington, D.C. He really must have gotten around that night.
On the parade outline this morning we saw the following item, "Unit No. 15—Carriage with woman and baby supplied by Gale Mott."
The publicity offices of Republic pictures have supposedly spent between $10,000 and $15,000 on the premiere. After a look in at the press room on the second floor of the Eldridge we wonder how much of that went for all of those soft drinks and like that. About 10 cases.
If it's true that $150,000 was poured into Dodge City for the premiere of the picture of the same name, does that mean that "Dodge City" was 10 times as good as "The Dark Command?" Could be.
The guy that sets the clock in Blake tower says he wouldn't pay six-bits to see Moses give the whole Ten Commandments, let alone to see Republic's one dark one.
The Sigma Chi's are planning big reception for brother John Wayne what with everybody laying in a supply of refreshments. The boys have been hearing rumors about brother John and capacity.
Here's one that hasn't anything to do with the premiere. Two young ladies called Ray Phelps last night and imitated first a long distance operator, then the nurse on the desk in Kansas City's General Hospital.
They told Phelps that a "Mrs. Phelps" had just been admitted to maternity and had given them his phone number, could he come to Kansas City?
Fhelps, who can't remember ever having been married, was wondering this afternoon what to do now that he had eaten all his finger-nails.
Relax, buddy.
Hollywood Fever Hits The Campus This Spring
Both spring and Hollywood fever struck the campus about the same time this year.
The only difference was in the numbers afflicted. The spring hit everyone. Hollywood claimed seven.
Perhaps the whole thing started in February when a perplexed Hollywood research expert wrote to K.U., asking scientists here what kind of a noise a dinosaur made 100,000,000 years ago when he got into a fight with another prehistoric beast. Since then:
Four students have been chosen to accompany Hollywood stars to the premiere showing of the movie depicting Quantrill's raid on Lawrence a movie of K.U. is in production; two women students have been promised screen tests in Hollywood this spring a recent grad has signed a 7-year contract with Twentieth Century Fox; and a graduate student has ap peared in a technicolor short.
The students selected to accompany the Hollywood celebrities to the premiere were Virginia Ford, Kay O'Sullivan, Dick Mize, and Ivan Cain. Their companions for the event were John Wayne, Walter
Ted North of Topeka, who attended the University last year and is a grandson of the founder of the North Players, has signed a 7-year contract with the Twentieth Century organization.
Pidgeon, Wendy Barrie, and Ona Munson,
Meanwhile Prof. Allen Crafton is busy shooting the first scenes of a campus movie that has twelve students in the cast. All scenes are in or near Lawrence, and when finished the movie probably will be the official film of the University.
Frank Anneberge of Leavenworth, called the upside-down man of the campus because of his skill in walking on his hands, recently completed a technicolor feature film with Universal which shows him shaving while doing a hand-stand. His next appearance will be during the Kansas Relays (April 19 and 20, when he will be filmed roller-skating on his hands atop the press box at the stadium.
Snap Happy---- Camera Man Bowlus Finds Women Preferred
"Editors buy pictures of good-looking women," says Tom Bowls. "Practically the only pictures of men that will sell are sports shots or pictures of persons who are prominent in Hill events or who have done something spectacular."
The Johnson sisters, Helen and Doris, of Kansas City, whose photographs in a recent issue of Life magazine brought in a flood of fan mail, will report July 1 for screen tests with Twentieth Century-Fox.
A graduate of the School of Business and a second year law student, Tom spends his extra time taking pictures. He intends to practice law after he is graduated. At the present time he is local press photographer for the Kansas City Star and takes pictures for the Jayhawker and the Sour Owl.
Work Starts--the past three years, many reproductions of his work have been printed in such publications as the Star, Pic, and College Humor, as well as in campus publications and Associated Press papers.
For most of his work he uses a 4 by 5 Speed Graphic camera. In

The curves in the track are laid on a 72 inch radius which is equivalent to a 20 degree curve. Trains are allowed to pass each other by remote control through the use of a siding electrically operated.
James Cox, e'42, Clyde Pace, e'40, and Clarence Callahan, e'41 are the students constructing the model track work. The project is being worked up for a permanent exhibit which can be added to from year to year. The work is under the direction of Prof. F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering.
Equipment for the exhibit will be loaned by some members of the Kansas City Railway Club. This equipment is quite elaborate, carefully worked out to scale, and some of the locomotives are valued up to $125. There is quite a difference between a model railway and a toy! The model train will make a complete circuit of the track in one minute. It's speed will be equal to that of a regular train traveling at sixty miles an hour.
Tom says he often gets leads on pictures from students who call to tell him that something is going on which might interest him. It he

"Usually they see a camera and run for it. Most of the trouble lies in keeping models from getting self-conscious, because you can't get a good picture if they do."

If it was, no official of Warner Brothers studio would admit it. And stunt or no, there was luscious Ann bound to Brunnenkamp, with chains of hardened steel. What to do?
"Break it up," ordered police, while burly Blaney Matthews, chief of the Warner Brothers private police, yanked Brunnenkamp into the inner lobby. He also yanked Miss Sheridan.
"Cut it out" she cried. "You're tearing off my hand."
"I'll say cut it out," interjected a bystander who identified himself as Edward Stanton, lawyer whom Brunnenkamp brought along to protect his rights, if any. "You have no reason to manhandle this boy. He's only doing what 10,000 other men would like to do."
"Where's that key?" demanded Matthew.
"I swallowed it, honest," Brunnenkamp replied.
Matthews, refusing to believe him,
ordered police captain George
Young to remove Brunnenkamp's
shoes. Young stooped down pulled
off Richard's oxfords, shook them,
and found no key. Disgusted he
gave Brunnenkamp his shoes.
"I'd been trying for months to meet Miss Sheridan," explained Richard, now getting scared. "I had no luck, and then I happened to read about how Harry Lehr hand-cuffed himself to a girl in Newport a quarter of a century ago as a last resort in his attempt to meet her.

"Only a dollar?" she demanded, suitor were in the theater hospital "That's an insult."
By then Miss Sheridan and her room. Photographers still were snapping pictures and Miss Sheridan started to weep:
"Please, oh please, get me loose.
I want to see this picture."
By the time the man arrived with the keys, the picture, "It All Came True," was half over. And Miss Sheridan sat on a bed with her eyes averted from poor Richard. Unlocked at last, she refused to prefer charges against him and on further thought and assurance that he never had attended Harvard—forgave him. She even invited him to supper after the show.
The non-plussed theater manager produced a hack saw, but only managed to nick the creamy arm of Hollywood's most widely publicized actress. Matthews said he had sent out for a locksmith.

Elect Nineteen To Tau Beta Pi
Nineteen seniors and juniors in the School of Engineering and Architecture received one of the highest honors awarded engineering students when they were elected to Tau Beta Pi, honorary fraternity for outstanding students in the School of Engineering at a meeting of that group last Monday night in Marvin hall.
The new senior members are: Joseph Clark, Stanley Clark, Oren Baptist, J. B. Hagan Jr., Melvin Hefty, Glen Richardson, Robert Mitchell, Tom Arbuckle, Myron Harris, Russell Chitwood. The juniors selected are: John Daidig, Richard Westfall, James Moore, Devon Carlson, Clyde Woodman, Robert Sanis, Robert Haynes, and Raymond York. Students are chosen on their scholarship, character, and outstanding ability to do engineering work.
In addition to the choice of new members, officers were elected to serve for the remainder of the semester. The officers are: Walter Glancy, president; Presson Shane, vice president; Robert Moore, recording secretary; Vincent Rithman, correspondent secretary; Otis McIntire, student treasurer.
Suggest Miners Grow Mustaches To Keep Health
Victoria, B.C., April 3—(UP)—The British Columbia department of mines suggested to miners today that if they would avoid silicosis they should grow mustaches.
"Nature placed a mustache on the face of man for a purpose," the department said. "It seems to have been intended as a filter."
Silicosis, the department explained, is caused by inhaling particles of crushed rock which lodge in the lungs. The bigger the mustache, the less likely silicosis will develop.
To Take 'Holiday To Wichita U.
The 11 cast members of "Holiday," their director and a couple of stage hands are contemplating a trip to Wichita tomorrow by automobile, practically a new stage in which to present their play, and a night's rest afterwards in the Broadway hotel.
Wichita University will have a chance to watch "Holiday" in action before the play is presented in Fraser theater when they are given a one-nighter tomorrow.
Tickets for the four-night production which opens here Monday went on sale this morning at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall. Students must exchange activity book stubs for reserved seats either by going to the office or phoning in, advised the ticket manager.
Sound Truck Aids All to Hear Stars
When it came to hearing every word spoken by the stars and guests here today for the premiere of "The Dark Command," the people holding ringside seats had no advantage over those who were pushed to the outskirts of the crowd. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce had the Poehler sound truck on the job to cover all outdoor events.
This sound system is the most complete and powerful in the middlewest according to electrical and radio experts, and on several occasions people two miles from the sound system have been able to hear plainly an entire program.
This modern public address system has been used throughout the state for special community events, sports and agricultural demonstrations without charge to the community. This same sound track carried the national cornhusking contest here last fall.
Federal Geologist Talks on Survey
At a meeting of the Kansas Geological Survey staff at the University Tuesday, Captain C. L. Sadder, section chief for the Topographic Branch of the Federal Geological Survey, reported that topographic mapping of 1,783 square miles has been completed in Kansas.
This cooperative project was established by the Kansas Geological Survey, the Federal Geological Survey, and the W.P.A. three years ago. In the same time, leveling for the purpose of establishing elevations have been completed over an area of 3,185 square miles.
Topographic maps are valuable in planning all types of work where the shape of the land surface is taken into consideration. They show the configuration of the land surface, its elevation above sea level, and the locations of towns, roads, township and county boundaries, and rivers. Geologists use them in mapping rock structures.
Under the cooperative set-up, maps have been completed of areas covering the northern two-thirds of Wilson county, the southeast corner of Greenwood county, the northeast corner of Elk county, and the northeast corner of Sedgwick county.

Politics Is A Game What's the Score?
Like baseball, Hill politics is just a big game played by smart boys who get home, and not a few rookies who never seem to reach first base.
Politics being a game, the routine work of the Council scarcely fits in. But to real politician, that is part of the game. He's a gregarious fellow who likes to do things whether they're important or not. If anything relating to the good of the school and the student body comes up, he jumps at the chance at the drop of the hat.
At the moment, the politicians are just warming up. From headquarters candidates stream forth to collect supporters. Most of them know little enough about the technique of grabbing the other fellow's hand before he gets a grip start. But they will learn before the election is over; in addition, they will know a lot more about their fellow students, which is something even though they meet defeat.
- Politicians get a lot of criticism. It comes from annoyed disinterested students or cynics who are disappointed because they have not found the St. Georges of their high school civic books. Not a little of it comes from intolerant egotistical elders who want students to act like grade school students.
Hill politics isn't all shennanigans. Once elected to the Men's Student Council, by hook or crook, the politicians do much work indispensable to the welfare of the University. Council members serve on numerous committees whose work is seldom publicized. The average student wouldn't think of giving his time to the often dull jobs assigned to the M.S.C. representative.
Hill politics may have its Di Maggios,but the rookie,too,gets a lot of benefit out of the game.

Masses Get Medicine
Sediment left by the tidal wave of crocodile tears, mistaken by some as "humanitarianism," that has swept over the United States in the past ten years contains at least one solid, honest pebble—the recognized fact that too many Americans are not receiving adequate medical attention because they cannot afford it.
The federal government has its finger in the health pie also. Farmers complying with the Farm Security Administration may participate in a health service program by paying $30 into a common fund. Only a small part of the farm population, however, is affected at present by
As usual, the state took the first action in an attempt to correct a miserable situation. The New York legislature enacted a bill earlier this year providing for group health insurance. Contributions under this bill, drafted by the American Association for Social Security, come from the employer, employee and the state. Payments are based on a sliding scale with the employee paying more and the state and employer less as wages increase.
this plan. The Wagner National Health Act, which recently received a favorable report in the hands of the Senatorial Committee on Education and Labor, will cover a larger portion of the national population.
Since state and federal legislation means socialized medicine, it has given impetus to the forming of private non-profit insurance groups. These are backed by intelligent persons and groups who believe that private enterprise still has a place in the United States. The private organizations, devoid of governmental inefficiency and red tape, can supply medical attention cheaper in the long run and at the same time retain the individuality and personality of doctor and patient. The health of the citizen is the principle involved and not governmental power over him.
Whatever economic and social ailments remain to be solved, this one problem has received such recognition that it is now on the way toward solution. In the near future there may not be a car in every garage, but there is apt to be a doctor in every sick room.
First Congress was as economy-minded as a Republican banker but now it has the purse strings ripped wide open. We should know that when they roll out of the pork barrel it's "whole hog or none."

America's Cowboy Gene Autry and his $2,500 saddle led the parade on Meyn's chestnut gelding "Buck". Haven't had my feet so well trampled (by the class-cutting K.U. pioneers not "Buck") since the Cornhusking Carnival.
Wonder how this premiere racket got started? It seems dubious that Chaplin will throw a first-night party in Berlin when his "Dictator" makes it belated debut.
Every attic and store-room in Lawrence must have been crammed with relies judging from the mother-of-pearl thimble holders, powder horn, 75 year old Bible stand, wallpaper in the 1860 style, china and crystal, 150 year old hickory rockers, daguerreotypes and portraits, and dozens of other antiques which have had the entire population squatting, stooping, and squinting into every shop window along Massachusetts.
Nominations for this week's Sounds-in-the-Night Club go to the corny sigma Chi bank that campaigned for "Glamor-Boy" Dick Mize. They made an unglody but apparently effective din with a two trombones, a trumpet, a clarinet and a waste-basket drum.

With the premiere in the air and big ads coming into the Kansan, I can not tell where my column will be next. I guess I should consider myself lucky to even get any space for it.
It looks like the nice weather is going to bring out the rest of the spring sports participants. Coach Wm. H. Shannon, golf mentor, has already posted notice that the opening golf try-outs will be Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. The try-outs will be in the form of a 36-hole qualifying round, which is to be played 18 holes Friday afternoon at 2:30 and another 18-holes at 8 o'clock Saturday morning.
Shows Power
Coach "Dutch" Uhrlaub has already gotten his racket team out on the courts and they have been practicing religiously. Both Howard Engleman and Kermit Franks are back from the tennis team last year. Both are strong players and should be the backbone of Urhlaub's team this season.
The finals of the swimming meet will be run off this afternoon at 4:30 according to E. E. Elbel, intramural director. In the lead so far by their strong representation in the preliminaries, are the Galloping Dominoes with 47 points. Second to the Independents are the Beta's with 35 points, and in third place is Phi Psi with 32 tallies. Only a miracle would stead the intra mural swimming title from the Dominoes.
Coach Bill Hargiss left this morning at 8 o'clock with his track men bound for the annual Texas Relays. The Jayhawker thinclads left in two cars and headed for Norman where they will practice this afternoon. Quarter-miler Bill Greene took the trip despite a slightly pulled leg muscle.
Now that basketball season is over, two members of the N.C.A.A. runners-up, are out for Coach Mike Getto's diamond team. Both Jack Sands and T. P. Hunter are making their bid for the first base position. Sands did some playing on the initial sack last year, along with "Red" Thompson. Getto said there is a possibility that he might use Hunter in the right field place.
On the Diamond: A baseball personality entered the baseball practice yesterday in the form of Steve O'Rourke, head scout for the Detroit Tigers, of the American League. The object of his mission was not divulged but he did stick around and watch the Jayhawker batsmen practice for a while.
I see where they are roping our all-American basketball players into selecting beauty queens to accompany the movie stars today. Engleman and Allen did do a good job of selecting though . . . You can't miss on the group they selected, but maybe Hollywood will want to take the selected girls back home with them.
Team
Veteran Line; Shifty Backs; For Next Fall
If such an early yardstick as spring practice may be trusted Gwinn Henry's University of Kansas Jayhawkers will be a vastly improved eleven when next fall rolls around.
Chief reasons for this are:
1. One of the finest freshman crops in years has so far come over the scholastic hurdle with but minor causualties.
2. More reserve strength than in 1939.
3. Next year will be the second for Henry's intricate system which last year was in a state of installation.
4. A veteran line which will have speed, power, and brawn.
Leading the nine 39 freshmen Robertson, stellar center from Duncan, Okla., and speedy Don Pollom, former all-state halfback from Topeka.
Robertson, a 200-pounder, is a past master at every department of center play while Pollom is a fine punter, good tackler, and classy ball carrier. A 170-pounder, he has already demonstrated his ability to stand the raff of college competition
Hill should be next in line for
Leading the fine '39 freshmen into spring drills are big Tom
Other freshman backs who will bear watching next fall are Irvin "Curly" Hayden, of Atwood, Harlan Altman of Wellington, and Bob Hagen, a Lawrence high product. All have displayed plenty of drive in ball carrying and Hayden and Altman can pass.
Guard will again be the stronghold of a veteran Jayhawker line. Returning for his third year as a regular is staunch Quido Massare, who should be as good as any线man in the conference. His starting mate will be selected from 195-pound Jay Kern, who turned in such a fine performance as a sophomore last year, and 210-pound Herb Hartman, who did almost as well. Neither is far behind Massare in all-around excellence and will prove destructive to any opposing offense. Both will be juniors.
Outstanding among the freshman linemen are Jim Zimmerman, giant tackle from Pittsburg; Ross Relph, tackle from Fredonia; Grant Hunter, end from Jeanette, Pa.; Paul Hardman, Topeka, guard; Don Hill, 190-pound guard from Kansas City and Albert Zernickow, 210-pound Junction City center. All have been getting their share of attention and are showing up well in scrimmage so far.
Gone from last year's team which shared the Big Six cellar with Iowa State and Kansas State, are hard blocking Milton Sullivant and Frank Bukaty; shifty Dick Amerine, and Eldrew Cadwalader. In the line chief losses will be guard Mike Sihlanick, tackle Jack Turner, and end Russell Chitwood. But even with the facts in mind, the future still looks fairly bright.
When one combines these freshmen with a returning crew of 20 lettermen and some 20 more squadmen, it is not hard to envision a formidable football machine for 1940.
service here with squadman Bob Fluker and freshmen Dan Bernstein and Hardman ready to vault ahead if any of the leaders falter.
Center will be strong and well fortified. Besides Robertson, there is 180-pound Don Pierce, returning '39 first stringer; 200-pound Wayne Wilson, who lettered in 1937 with a year of competition left, Zerniekow, and Walt Sheridan, all-Kansas high school pivot in '38.
The only doubt is the reserve end material. Here Henry will have three top notch candidates from

Eleven Men To Annual Texas Relays
2 By Carlyle Dawes, c'42
At almost the crack of dawn this morning, the University of Kansas track team left for their first outdoor track meet at Austin to enter the Texas relays, which will be held Saturday.
Those making the trip are: Ray Harris, Don Thompson, Glenn Foy, Bill Greene, Dick Edwards, Darrrell Mathes, Kenny Hamilton, Bill Reed, Bill Bevan, J. R. Jones, and Joe Ryan.
Captain Ray Harris, distance runner, and Bill Greene, quarter miler, have pulled through their injuries and are two of a squad of 11 men which Bill Hargiss, track coach, took with him for the meet.
Coach Hargiss is taking a squad which is the best KU, has to offer in their particular events. A 4-mile relay team which is composed of Ryan. Edwards. Thompson, and Harris, each of whom has run a mile under 4.25.
Harris hurt his Nebraska ankle strain again the first of the week. Greene thought he had pulled a ligament in his leg, and was very dubious as to whether or not he would be able to run Saturday until late yesterday afternoon.
A fast one-mile relay team is that of Greene, Hamilton, Mathes, Foy or Reed. Hargiss has decided to run these men in a one-mile relay instead of the planned two-mile race.
Bill Bevan and J. R. Jones were out on the track limbering up yesterday afternoon before their take-off with the squad this morning, but did not attempt their favorite events, the pole vault and the broad jump, respectively. The whole squad worked out only lightly with the exception of two half-mile races by

N.Y.A. Assists on Movie
Minneapolis, Minn. (UP)—Using real life histories for scenario, N.Y.A. project workers for actors, and real saloons, dance halls and farms for "location" shots, the University of Minnesota visual education department has filmed a sociological movie entitled "Youth of a Nation."
Dick Edwards, Joe Ryan, and Glenn Foy.
Hargiss has found no weight man who he wants to take on such an out-of-town journey. Al Arkey, a 195 pound shot-putter and javelin tosser is making fair progress. Carty Dawes is working out with the javelin. By Kansas Relay time, the two should be able to produce.
The team will make the trip in two private-cars and will arrive at the University of Oklahoma, at Norman, tomorrow in time for a brief work-out and rest.

The sports group of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will honor the Jayhawker basketball team with a recognition dinner next Tuesday night at 6:30 at the country club. Arrangements for the affair are being made by A. E. Woestemeyer, former Kansas basketball star.

Put these facts together with the possibility the junior Ralph Miller, who was named by many as the best passer in the Midlands last season, might return with two good legs instead of one; the observer begins to see that this backfield might go places.
Miller is not out for spring practice this year, but will join the squad next fall. Bunsen is another who is not enrolled in school.
Dummy scrimmage and actual scrimmage have been order of the week for Henry's squad. The veteran mentor seems content with a small amount of experimenting and is principally concerned with perfecting his intricate offense.

"Just wait til we're rich!

Two things made this possible. First, people want electric service. They want to share in its benefits and the release it brings from back-breaking labor. Second, the people of your electric company have worked tirelessly for years to improve service and reduce rates, so that more and more people could have electric service.
Together, your demand and our employees' efforts have made possible the quantity production of electricity. The more units of anything that can be produced and sold, the smaller the cost of each unit will be. If, like so many families, you are now using lots of light, a radio, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, toaster, washing machine and other appliances, you probably pay very little more to operate all of these than you paid for light alone not so many years ago.
Today, as far as electric service is concerned, everyone is rich. Rates have come down and standards of service have gone up because we work on the American principle of making a good thing better and selling it to more people for less money. That principle has made Americans the richest people in the world.
Today we smile at that memory. Now everyone can afford finer electric service than could be had at any price twenty years ago.
YOU don't have to be very old to remember when only the "big house on the hill" had electric service—when you, as a youngster, watched its magic brilliance and said to yourself, "Just wait 'til we are rich!"
MORE FOR YOUR MONEY
In the last 10 to 15 years, the engineering improvements and operating economies of your electric company have made it possible to cut the average price of household electricity just about in half. Many customers now using more household appliances, lots of light, a radio and refrigerator pay very little more to operate all of these than they used to pay for light alone.

Pay Hike Averts Strike Before Premiere
By John Baldwin, c'41
A brief strike for higher wages by 18 ushers at the Dickinson theater shortly before the doors opened last night for the premiere showing of "The Dark Command" was settled in time for the event to proceed on schedule.
The ushers, most of them University students, said that when they agreed to assist at the movie opening they thought they would receive $1, be allowed to see the picture, and be given an invitation to the world premiere ball at the Lawrence Country Club.

To replace the Country Club party, some of the ushers demanded they be given $5. Others insisted they be invited to the dance, contending that was the reason they had taken the jobs.
Officials of Commonwealth theaters and the Republic studios conferred with leaders of the balking ushers and agreed to pay the men an extra $1.
Students who attended the bal said this morning that some of the ushers went to the dance anyway, "crashing" the affair through open
windows. Others stood outside the clubhouse, unable to gain entrance, or having been ejected after getting inside.

To Hold First Of Educators' Meets Tonight
The first general session of the annual spring Educational conference at the University will be held at 8 tonight in Fraser Theater. Dr. V. T. Thayer of the Ethical Culture society of New York, will give an address on "Some Earmraks of Democratic Living". Conference groups and panel discussions will continue tomorrow on the general theme of the conference; school and community cooperation.
According to Raymond A. Schwegler, dean of the School of Education, "The purpose of this conference is to call into the clear limelight of recognition the functional aspects of educative processes and to drive home the fact that the playground, the back alley, the street, the store, and the factory are the laboratory in which the child discovers some of the most profoundly significant truths and determines the outcomes of his life."
A Chicago Speaker
V. K. Brown, Chicago, will speak both at the luncheon tomorrow and in Fraser Theater at 3 p.m. He is the recreational director for the Chicago parks and one of the foremost authorities on recreational education, Dean Schwegler said.
One conference group will discuss the question of what services a school should provide for the community. Following short speeches, a discussion will center around the ideas and issues raised by the contributions of the speakers. George Marshall, superintendent of schools in Ottawa, will be the chairman of this group. A second group headed by A. L. Cross, principal of Shawnee-Mission High school, will hold a

Lawrence Relaxes After 'Big Day'
Contest Winners Think Stars Were 'Wonderful'
It was wonderful! Kay O'Sullivan and Virginia Ford had no other words to describe the premier. "Walter Pidgeon is a perfect gentleman," said Miss O'Sullivan, "he signed autographs willingly and shook hands with everyone who approached him."
Miss Ford readily admitted that she was a bit nervous at first, but after a few minutes with John Wayne she was completely at ease. "I was worried as to what to talk about during the evening," said Miss Ford, "But Mr. Wayne made the conversation naturally. Books was one of the subjects of conversation during the evening, and I was surprised that Mr. Wayne was so well-read."
Showdown for the English Strip Teasers
Speaking of literature, added Miss O'Sullivan, "Mr. Pidgeon quoted
Pidgeon Uses Chalk To Autograph Tux
Movie stars usually take all autographing in stride and those who were in Lawrence yesterday were no different.
Walter Pidgeon, et al, took it only as a matter of course and signed albums, scraps of paper, school books, cowboy hats, and even a baby's white shoe.
But when a buzz-headed youth approached Pidgeon at the Country Club's part last night, the actor got a surprise.
London, April 5.—(UP)—The strip tease, Great Britain's favorite wartime recreation, is due for a showdown April 16 behind the stately portals of St. Jame's palace, at a showmen's conference presided over by the Lord Chamberlain, official guardian of public morals.
The youth handed Pidgeon a piece of chalk and asked him to have the back of his tux autographed.
Pidgeon firilly complied.
Keats quite freely during the evening."
Dick Mize, Wendy Barrie's escort, when asked of his opinion of Miss Barrie replied, "She was wonderful." In fact "wonderful" seems to be the only word our fortunate personalities could apply to the occasion. However, Walter Jones took the intellectual viewpoint and said that his date, June Storey, was very brilliant.
In deference to the outcries from mothers and pastors, and pending

Student Foils Thief's Plan
Harry Hart, 49, of Chicago, was arraigned on a felony charge this morning before Robert Oyler, justice of the peace, after police had arrested him on suspicion of attempted pickpocketing in last night's premiere crowd.
The alleged pickpocketing attempt occurred in the premiere crowd near the Granada theater. Fred Street of Kansas City, Mo., grabbed Hart's wrist when he apparently reached for Street's wallet. Red Blackburn, m'41, and Street held Hart until the police arrived to take him into custody.
Failing to meet $1,000 bond, Hart was confined to the county jail after the arraignment.
Karl Mattern, assistant professor of drawing and painting, went to Topeka this afternoon where he will speak before members of the Topeka Art Center.
Local police were on the lookout for pickpockets in yesterday's crowd. Seven persons entered loss complaints yesterday.
Many Join City To Go Hollywood
By Roscoe Born, c'41
It's all over now, and if you were one of those "70,000 or 80,-000 persons" (note the quote) who got mixed up in the hull-abulloo, you're probably sick of the name "Quantrill."
"Note the quote" because a few of the boys are slightly curling an upper lip about the estimated crowd in Lawrence for the parade.
Estimates Vary
But 40,000 or 80,000, it definitely was a crowd that jammed into Lawrence yesterday to see Walter Pidgeon, John Wayne,—but why name them. Everybody knows who was here.
If you like parades—and Lawrence does—you're probably remarking to someone now that the two-mile train that passed down Massachusetts street yesterday was the best you've seen in the way of parades. It had everything and as far as the several dozen dash-like-mad photographers were concerned, it had too much. Cameramen stopped car after car to get posed shots. They ran along beside the celebrities to get any shots they could.
They clicked so many shutters that the film supply of Lawrence stores almost gave out. Cameramen didn't let up until they realized their film and Lawrence's film was almost gone.

ONE CRITIC'S OPINION
By John C. Moffitt
(Storia Motion Picture Ed
LAWRENCE, KANS.—April 4. The eyes of Hollywood were turned on Lawrence tonight to see the climax of a gallant story of infant motion picture company fighting its way up from "poverty row" to claim recognition in a high pressure and ruthlessly competitive industry. The name of the company was Republic pictures and the production basket in which it had placed most of its assets is "The Dark Command." One could not say the executives of Republic had placed all of their eggs in one basket for "egg" is a term of derision in the show business and no eggs are laid in this picture.
It and the company came through with colors flying.
Though here on the Missouri- Kansas borders where history has its many partisan interpreters there may be some difficulties of opinion concerning the history accuracy of the film, there can be little debate over its caliber as a money maker and as a piece of entertainment. In action, it faced with imprecision drawn characterizations, the film lacked only technicolor to be the equal of "Dodge City." Its story is better constructed and freer from hokum than that of "Virginia City," touted as the year's most sumptuous western. Theater men from
Missouri and Kansas were unanimous in pronouncing it a "showman's picture", which is simply a trade name of a popular success.
The battle scenes are crowded and the settings are first class. There's nothing cheap about the film. The biggest studios in Hollywood would be proud to have it on their production list.
Before concluding the review, it might not be amiss to say a word about the city of Lawrence. This reviewer has attended a number of movie premieres, including the one tagged for "Mission Own." at Waukeegan, III, last summer and the celebrated "Gone With the Wind" opening at Atlanta.
Not one of them has been handled as smoothly, as efficiently or entertainingly as the one that Lawrence staged today. It was an elaborate affair embracing a parade, a ball, and a pageant in which buildings were burned and horses charged through smoke and flame. Yet there was no confusion and no hard feelings. The stars were examined by thronging thousands but there was no sign of bad taste or the snatching of buttons and jewelry by souvenir hunters. The stars were much impressed. They came to Lawrence to advertise Hollywood. But they'll go back to Hollywood advertising Lawrence — for a good time and a job well done.

To Photograph Sun Eclipse
For the first time in the history of the University, representatives of the department of astronomy are going to the scene of a major astronomical phenomenon, an annular eclipse of the sun Sunday afternoon, N. Wyman Storer, associate professor of astronomy, said before he left for Conover, Texas, yesterday.
Henry Horak, c'40, a major in astronomy, and William Bush, gr., a student in physics, accompanied Professor Storer on the expeditionary trip to photograph the eclipse. "We have shipped the University 6-inch telescope to Conover and will carry with us a mounting, which we have constructed ourselves. Pictures will be taken through the telescope about every 20 minutes. The solar eclipse will be visible in Lawrence Sunday afternoon, if the skies are not cloudy," Storer said.
The moon's shadow will first touch the edge of the sun at 2:19 o'clock and will cover the greatest area of the sun's surface at 3:50. At maximum eclipse, the sun at Lawrence, will be a large crescent with horns pointing down. The moon's shadow will obscure about three-fourths of the sun's area.
An annular lens is one in which the moon's diameter appears slightly less than the sun's diameter, Storer explained.
He will give a lecture explaining the eclipse at the Conover high school tomorrow night. The group will return to Lawrence Tuesday.

Wide Margin for Dominoes Bill Mackie Wins Three Events For Independents SPORTSCOPE
With all of the excitement of the premiere and movie stars dashing hither and thither on a schedule which is none too much to their liking, it is kind of hard for me to write sports today.
By Larry Winn
write sports records. Entries to the Kansas Relays are really beginning to pour into the athletic office, according to Earl Falkenstein. Northwestern sent in an entry of 10 men yesterday, and other entries from Yankton college of South Dakota, and Doane College of Crete, Nebraska were in the mail this morning. This will probably be the last short article on the entries, of either the college or high schools and a complete list will be published in a short time.
We must link up the movie stars with athletics somehow, and so in case you couldn't tell by looking, John Wayne played tackle for the Southern California Trojans. He has a brother, Bob Morrison that is just "red-hot" in the aquatic events. John is still considered one of the best athletes on the coast.
Roy Rogers, a rag-time cowboy, is another that is gaining athletic fame on the coast and especially around Hollywood. Roy is noted for his bowling teams, of which he is one of the leading participants. The blonde movie celebrity has an average of 197 which is darn good in any man's league.
They are out: After a quick glance around the Hill, I see that comparatively few students and townpeople have Kansas Relays stickers on their cars. There really should be no reason for hesitation on these stickers because they are free at the athletic office. All you have to do is ask for one or a hundred. The stickers were designed this year, per usual, by Ed Elbel, of announcing and intramural leadership fame. Ed is quite talented along this designing and sketching line. If you remember the large cut of Dr. F. C. Allen that was on the front page of the Kansan just before the Indiana game, credit should be given to the Kansas Relays "man behind the scenes".
It looks like the baseball teams will be putting on the finishing touches in a few days now that the baseball season is practically under way before we realize it. Writing sports is one thing and memorizing sports is another. Two of the best examples that I know of are Bob Trump and Horace Mason. Trump, Kansan baseball reporter, can name the batting average of almost any player of the major or minor leagues that ever held a bat in his hand. Mason can tell you the best track men in the country, their records, new accomplishments, and their best efforts down to the "enth" degree. By the by, Mason is quite the predictor, and if you want to know what is in the sports horoscope for the future, ask the K.U. publicity man.

Big Six Teams Conditioning For Openers
While the Kansas baseball team points for its opening battle of the season with Rockhurst here next Wednesday, other Big Six squads are also playing non-conference games which they hope may condition them for the coming campaign.
Down at Norman, the Oklahoma Sooners, who have been installed as pre-season favorites to finish at the top of the first division, haven't been letting any grass grow under their feet.
Jap Haskell's men took a four-day swing into Texas last week and pounded out three victories in four starts against the Baylor Bears. The next day at Austin, 4,000 spectators watched the Texas Longhorns, with Mal Deutch on the mound, defeat the Sooners by an 8 to 6 score. The Longhorn fireball ace, one of the outstanding hurlers in the Southwest, had already won from the Tulsa Oilers of the class A-1 Texas league in an exhibition game this spring, and yet the Sooners slammed him hard during his stay in the pitcher's box. The Texas nine will play a return engagement at North man on May 6 and 7.
Bad weather has kept the Iowa State squad from rounding into shape as quickly as Coach Cap Timm might have liked, but the Cyclones will have an opportunity to show that they're ready when they meet Simpson college this afternoon. No stranger to Jayhawk fans will be big Al Budolfson, Cyclone shortstop, who played center on the Iowa State basketball team last winter.
last year's team will be back on the court for the Jayhawkers. Urhlaub is expecting his boys to be pretty 'salty' on the court, since they do have two of their best player's with a year of varsity experience.

first in six events, second in three, third in one and fourth in two.
Bill Mackie, Galloping Dominoes, came through as predicted and won his two events, 50 yard stroke and 100 yard free style, in very good times. These victories and a post on the Domineo relay team made him the high scorer of the meet.
Features of the day were close races and as a result, the times were better than previously had been recorded in the meet. The best race of the day was the 50 yard free style, for hardly a yard separated the four men as they finished. Dalton, Galloping Dominoe, was the victor.

A shoulder separation received during the basketball season was believed to have ended any chance Reid might have of playing baseball this year, but an X-ray taken last week showed that the injury was healing rapidly, and physicians permitted him to report for practice. Whether Reid can play through a full game, will be determined next Tuesday when the Wildcats tangle with Baker at Manhattan.
Relays Are Outland's 'Dream In Reality'
On April 20 another colorful array of track and field stars will be gathered in the Memorial stadium for the eighteenth annual Kansas Relays.
By Larry Winn
Approximately 18 years ago, another such star-studded field of athletes participated in the first running of the Kansas Relays. This famous annual track and field event first began in 1923.
When the first annual Kansas Relays were inaugurated, they brought to reality the cherished dream of Dr. John H. Outland, now a famous alumni. Outland's idea originated when he came back from the University of Pennsylvania, the home of the Penn Relays. He dreamed of a huge track and field meet in the Middle West.
In 1920, he returned to Mt. Oread, and at this time he explained his idea to Dr. F. C. Allen, who received it with much enthusiasm. In the spring of that year, plans were formulated for the beginning of the Kansas Relays, and these plans were made effective April 30, 1923.
In starting the Kansas Relays, Dr. Allen made radio speeches, printed Relays stickers, and printed a 62-page program in order to promote interest in the Middle Western meet. Since the inauguration of these famous relays, the Kansas event rates high among the many famous outdoor relays such as the Penn, Texas, Coloradó, Drake, and Illinois Relays.
In the following 17 years of the Kansas Relays, since the meet first began in 1923, many records have been established and many trophies given away. Many such famous athletes as Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venske, Charles Fenske, James Bausch, Ralph Metcalf, Glenn Morris, Fred Wolcott, and
Elmer Hackney have participated in this famous event of which the students, faculty and alumni should well be proud.
So the University of Kansas should consider itself lucky to be the sponsor of such a fine athletic meet that will celebrate its eighteenth anniversary.

Tennis Team Meets K.C.U. Wednesday
Coach "Dutch" Urlaub will pit his tennis team against that of Kansas City University next Wednesday, between 1:30 and 2 o'clock on the Varsity tennis courts, south of the K.U. stadium.
The Kansas hopes hang particularly on Kermit Franks and Howard Engleman, who were the Arkansas City doubles champions in high school, and Conrad Voelker, who was the Atchison, city singles champion.
Out of a squad of 17 men, Uhrlaub expects to play about seven men in three singles matches and two doubles with the Kansas City netmen.
Other outstanding men on the squad include Paul Diegel, Bob Minor, Jack Floyd, Charles Snyder, Warren Shupe, Francis Domingo, and Wallis Campbell. Freshmen filling up the vacancies on the K.I.J. team are Duane Smith, David McCarty, Bob Trump, and Kenny Dunn.
The Kansas City team brings to Lawrence an exceptional team which has nearly every year brought honor to their school and themselves. Many of the team have tennis-playing parents. Emphasis is placed on the particularly versatile doubles combination.
A tentative, but very probable schedule for the Kansas team includes 12 meets, including the Kansas City meet, which are as follows:
April 10, Kansas City at Lawrence.
April 17, Washburn at Lawrence.
April 20, Nebraska at Lawrence.
April 24, Wichita at Lawrence.
 April 27, Missouri at Lawrence.
May 1, Washburn at Topeka.
May 2, Kansas State at Lawrence.
May 4, Nebraska at Lincoln*
May 11, Missouri at Columbia.
May 13, Kansas State at Manhattan.
May 15, Central College (Fayette) at Lawrence.
May 17. Big Six at Lincoln.
- (The Nebraska meet of April 20 is scheduled at Lincoln but may be changed to be played here due to the Kansas Relays which are the same day.)
Poetry Deadline Set For Monday
Poetry entered in the William Her-
Hil Carruth Memorial Contest
must be handed in to the Chancellor's office before Monday at 12 o'clock noon. A sealed envelope containing the real name and address of the contest must accompany the poem. On the outside of this envelope the assumed name of the author and the exact title of the poem must be written.
The contest is open to all resident students regularly enrolled in the university. Each may submit only one poem, never having previously been published. A first prize of sixty dollars will be awarded along with a second prize of forty dollars and a third prize of twenty dollars. The poems may be of any length or classification.
Trojans; Kiowa Show Strength
Two teams that have held a dominant role in the University of Kansas interscholastic track and field meet in recent years are showing strength again this season.
Topeka's Trojans, Class A winners here the last two years, and Kiowa, winner in Class B two of the last three years, stand out in the early season ratings for the big meet, April 19.
Topeka opened the season with an impressive victory over two strong teams, Salina and Junction City. The Trojans put a well-rounded team on the field, which while not as strong as last year's, should make an interesting bid for a third straight championship here.
Chief threats to Trojan supremacy appear to be the Wichita schools, East and North. Wichita East copped the state championship last May and might finish ahead of Topeka here also.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
Some appropriation will have to be cut. The one most likely to elicit the least kick-back will get the axe. Obviously the national defense appropriation will be sliced to the thickness of a Hill cafe slab of ham. The trend is toward more butter and less guns. The defense forces will not surrender without a fight and, too, the president loves that bill.
Still more manna from the heavenly fathers in Washington is to come. An increase of around $325,000,000 over the billion dollars in the presidential budget for the W.P.A. is expected. Laying off W.P.A. workers in an election year is political hari-kari of the violent variety. Flood control, river and harbor projects, all are waiting to come in for a luscious share of the Congressional largess.
Just how will Congress appropriate money exceeding the debt limit? If they continue at the present rate, they will be past the limit in
'Roll Out the Barrel'
From a bunch of professed penny-pinching skinflints, members of Congress have changed into a gang of pay-happy politicians spending money like sailors on leave. The latter, however, do not have a debt limit or a national election leering them in the face.
Up until the farm appropriation bill hit the Senate, it looked like "a penny saved is a penny earned" would be our statesmen's slogan. The minute the agrarian Senate upped the bill, kept low by a house of representatives where the urban interests predominate, the lid to the pork barrel was off. With youth hollering "pappy", house members upped the appropriation for NYA recommended by President Roosevelt $17,450,000; an additional $50,000,-000 was dropped into the C.C.C. tineup.
Yes, the coed has learned one of the biggest lessons there is to learn: Mow to do it herself and do it well.
Granted that with Mrs. Roosevelt, Hill women failed to make the list of our nation's best-dressed women, University coeds' slim budgets take a terrible beating and come out with a brand of remarkable, satisfying, and often "yumphy" results—a species of effects the group of actresses,'business women, and potentates' wives couldn't achieve in all the Schiaperelli, Patou, or Lelong originals that Paris turns out in an entire season.
In Defense of Coeds
Criticize the college girl for Irish-stew color combinations and dirty shoes. But admire her for her everyday variety of clothes sense. Bow to the busy class woman who can dive, unmaided, into a closet and don an attractive garb which seldom has to be pressed. Congratulate her for her simple hair styles, her neatness, her group of washable blouses and sweaters, her intelligence in discarding orchids, eye shawodw, and fan-dangles.
Any piece of clothes looks better on a living model than on a coat hanger. The general atmosphere of an exorbitant-priced suit on a 30 to 40 year old is rivalled right out of the picture by the general atmosphere of a middle-priced spring suit on an 18 to 21 year old. The former makes the man-about say "How stunning your suit is". The latter makes the onlooker mumble college man style, "Gawd, you look slick".
no time. More taxes is one way; cracking down on the small business class is another. The business men, as well as WPA workers, have votes. Congress could dig out the silver and gold hordes, wave it around in the air with a couple of "hocus-pocus, diddledy ocesses" and create something that might pass the citiezenry as legal tender.
A way will be found to evade the debt limit if necessary. The present administration has a peculiar will for that sort of a way. After November of this year will be time enough to talk economy. Right now the good-will of favor-seeking voters is first on the docket.

Kansas Farmers Face Another Crop Failure
By The United Press
The farm folk of Kansas fared another wheat crop failure today, a failure that they had hoped to avert through spring rainfall, that thus far has not come.
★
Instead of rain it was wind and abnormally hot weather and the combination during the past 10 days completed the ruin of thousands of acres, where previously there had been at least a weak stand of the grain.
The climax came early this week, when 80 and 90 degree temperatures coupled with winds of almost cyclonic intensity to blow away what little wheat was left in the western half of the state and in much of the growing regions of Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska and eastern Colorado.
The Santa Fe railroad agricultural department issued a sensational crop report in which it indicated that at least half of the 13,000,000 (M) acres which were sowed to winter wheat in Kansas would be abandoned. Such abandonment would mean a crop of probably no more than 60,000,000 (M) bushels, which would be one of the smallest on record and less than five times the size of the largest.
According to the Santa Fe report,
the winds, provided a climax to adverse crop season, which start last fall when farmers waited in beyond normal planting time and finally put their seed in dry soil lieu of necessary rain. Much of the seed never germinated at all, a more was eaten by such parasit as the false wire worm. Some can up in a weak stand when belaf rains gave it a start in late October and November.
Although the Santa Fe report regarded sensational and was author in producing an advance scam as one and three-fourths cent a bushel in hard wheat on the Boe of Trade in Kansas City, it has been expected by many vet traders, and therefore discounted
In recent weeks, most of the cc imission houses had issued advice in their crop letters to the eff that a substantial reduction in eier estimates could be expected, hot weather and dry winds ca during March or April.
The Cargill company of Kandi City took the view that the shop age might not be as great as expected, despite the recently adver growing weather. "Many late germinating fields may be allowed grow in the hope that a small vi-

Britain Pushes Economic War
England Plans Mass Building Of Marine
London, April 5—(UP)—Big scale plans for mass production of merchant ships and for cutting Germany's line of supply to the Balkans were made public today as part of a new and far-reaching extension of economic warfare throughout the world.
Reports that Germany was diverting Scandinavian iron ore shipments from the North sea to the Gulf of Bothnia, to await the spring thaw;
announcement that Australia would institute contreband control Monday; disclosure that despite Japanese anger, Britain intended to exercise full belligerent rights in the Asiatic Pacific to keep Russia from sending Germany supplies along the Trans-Siberian railroad, all combined to show how Britain was extending the relentless tentacles of its blockade throughout the world. Program Unprecedented
A report by William Westwood, secretary of the Ship Constructors' and Shipwrights' association now aiding the Admiralty, disclosed plans for an unprecedented program of mass shipbuilding, in which each yard would build but one type of ship.
Earlier it had been made known that the Admiralty was considering the construction of concrete freight ships to test whether, as some experts asserted, they could be built
more swiftly and cheaply than steel ships, and thus conserve steel supplies. Some such ships, built during the World War, are reported till in service.
Westwood's shipping report said that the government had already started its effort to break all world shipbuilding records with a program of "emergency ships" to be built in yards all over the British Isles, and add tennage to the merchant fleet faster than Germany in any calculable submarine, mine and airplane offensive could sink them. Different Type for Each Yard
Each yard is to build the particular type which experts find it can construct fastest and most economically.
It was emphasized that mistakes made in the World War, when Britain and then the United States were building ships at feverish speed, would be avoided and that all ships would be built to last.
Werner, Students To I.S.A. Meet
At 5:45 a.m. yesterday Henry Werner, Men Students' Adviser, and five members of the student body, Carter Butler, c'41 Charlotte Seel, fa'41; Howard Sells, c'43; Paul Gilles, c'43; and Mary Gene Hull, c'43, left for Purdue university and the third annual meeting of the National Independent Student Association, to be held tomorrow and Saturday.
Last year a stormy March day greeted delegates to the second meeting of the national group which was held here on March 31 and April 1. But 120 visitors from 24 colleges and universities attended the two-day meeting. The University of Oklahoma led the out-
of-town registrations then with delegates.
The first meeting of the national association in 1938 was at the University of Oklahoma. A total of 115 delegates registered that year.

Art Displays By Public Schools In Fraser Hall
Examples of finger painting, landscapes, and designs are included in the collection, while an exhibit of objects costing not more than 10 cents has been arranged by the seniors in the University's department of design. This group is labeled, "Beauty does not depend on money."
Art work of the Lawrence public schools and the summer art studio is on display in the east corridor of Fraser hall as a part of the Education Conference exhibits. This display has been arranged under the direction of Miss Maude Ellsworth, instructor of education.
A cardiograph on at least 11 students tomorrow night about 8 o'clock will look like a range of the Rockies. The heart of an actor invariably does triple time when the curtain goes up.
It's been no vacation at all for the cast members of "Holiday" getting ready for tomorrow night's opening in Fraser Theater. For a month they've been rehearsing, and dressing, and grease painting for the rise of that blue curtain on their first official first night.
Two Unofficial Firsts
Of course the play was given for the first time over a week ago to a high school audience. That didn't count. And just last Friday a packed house at Wichita University viewed the Dramatic Club in action. That one didn't count either. Only the official first night really counts.
Leading the male actors in the Philip Barry comedy will be a man who plays his first role in a University production. As a matter of fact, he hasn't even seen a play on this campus before. Conrad Voelker, c'42, east in the role of Johnny Case, happy-go-elsewhere guy who believes that money and happiness are parallel lines.
There's a gal in the show who agrees. She tops the female element, does Reola Durand, c'43, in the personage of Linda Seton of the veddy, veddy rich Seton family. Veteran in the Cast
But Julia Seton is the one who is supposed to marry Johnny Case, and she wants him to make money. Second-act complications a rise. Father Seton, in morning coat and smoking jacket by Marvin Moon, c'40, is definitely a fly in Johnny's balm. He agrees with Julia.
But Johnny has plenty of power on his side, for Brother Ned Seton, with a constant scotch and swish in and, has the same philosophy Played by Larry David, fa'40.

Military Frat To Pledge 16 At Spring Ball
Formal pledging of 15 new candidates for Scabbard and Blade, honorary military fraternity, will be a signal event of the R.O.T.C. Military Ball Friday night in the Memorial Union ballroom.
Pledges of the society are Edward Poole, b'41; Godfrey Rice, e'40; Dale Luehring, c'42; James Johnson, c'41; Frederick Totten, c'41; Jerry Boynton, c'42; Samuel Forsyth, e'41; Donald Boardman, c'41; Ward Benkelman, c'41; Lawrence Nelson, c'41; Robert Stadler, c'41; Herbert Smith, e'41; Frederick Luke, e'41; Christian Hoffman, c'40; and Robert Price, c'41.

Cadet Captain Donald DeFord, c'40, officer in command of Scabbard and Blade, will talk briefly on the purpose and ideals of the society. Directly preceding the ball the traditional Scabbard and Blade banquet will be given.
In addition, Major C. G. Riggs and Major Carleton Smith, assistant professors of military science, will be given associate memberships in the organization.

A new fraternity has made its appearance on Mt. Oread.
Tau Kappa Epsilon, which officially announced its entrance into Greek life on the Hill at a banquet Friday night at the Memorial Union, is the first new fraternity here since Delta Chi was organized May 10, 1923.
Plans Kept Secret
Some of the charter members have been working on the idea since last fall, but had kept their plans secret until Friday night.
Nineteen members were taken to Manhattan Feb. 18 by the Kansas City alumni chapter and initiated into the fraternity by the Kansas State Teke's. This morning at 10 o'clock 20 additional pledges will have the grip put on them at the Teke house in Manhattan.
The local group will be known as the Eta colony. This chapter was first located on the campus of the University of Chicago, but it was one of the 20 national Greek letter organizations that withdrew in 1932 when they had differences with the administration.
Bill Conroy The President
Bill Conroy, c'40, president of the Kansas Teke's, said that the charter of the Chicago chapter would be transferred here sometime next fall after the fraternity is settled in its new house.
At present the new group has no house, but a committee is at work on the project and expects to have a place lined up soon. They do not plan to move into their fraternity home until next fall.

Who Originates Fashions?
Everyone absorbed in women's fashions will be interested in their sources and of the reasons why women yearn for a Schaparelli or a Hattie Carnegie original.
Hattie Carnegie, both creates her own designs and imports Parisian models. She prefers richness, as if money were no object. She has two dominant moods—the patrician and the sophisticated.
Charles Creed, the descendant of a family that served the French until the revolution, when they migrated to London, has absorbed
Different designers use different sources in gaining their variety and originality.
Madame Gabrielle Chanel is the rebel who started the post-war movement toward simplicity. She identified herself with the bright young people who smashed all traditions. She practically invented the modern sports mode. Her fashions are youth personified, generally brash, impudent you. Witness her gypsy evening frocks, perfect for the gamin. But she has softer moods, too, that are delightful for the co-quette.
New Togs Make Bow On Campus
Personally, we like glamour and GLORIA BIECHELEASE it in her silk jersey dinner dress which has red and white candy stripes, a full skirt and set-in pockets. It has a hood a bracelet length sleeves—both new spring details.
The rustle of spring—or of bright new taffeta—can be heard now as everybody wants to know what's what in the collegiate spring ward-robe.
JEAN BROCK prefers a dress and coat combination of powder blue wool. The dress has a matching turban and the pockets on the box coat are huge!
JANE BLANEY goes rustic in blue denim. Her slack suit has a cute sailor collar and buttons on it. She also plays in a pair of shorts with a dirndl effect made of green and white dotted cotton material.
New formales are full skirted and jersey is the material that you want! HELEN HEARD'S is of aqua silk jersey. A laxste gathered waistband gives it a sculptured look. PHYLLIS GOSSETT is wearing a new Fink jersey formal made along Grecian lines.
BETTY WYATT wears a two piece suit of green English tweed. With it, she wears a white silk blouse.
DOLLY NEWLON looks sweet in her white net formal with a full skirt and huge butterfly bow in back.
Our idea of the perfect date outfit is one worn by BETTY MUCHNIC. It is a navy sheer woolen bolero dress. She wears a white blouse with it and red accessories to match the red binding around the bolero. Her hat is a red off-the-face straw. Shoes are navy, with red bows on the heels and red platform soles.
Sisters MARGARET and MARY K. BROWN have new slack suits that are two of the best-looking ones we've seen. Margaret wears navy garabardine with white trim and a white nautical cap! Mary K. prefers pastel colors with a shirt with contrasting collar and lapels.
Hats are mostly feminine, with flowers and veils. Flemish straws are popular—and snoods are worn with play clothes. The Navy tailored coat with white trim is popular for those who desire a tailored look.
Blouses are the new note for the campus. "Sloppy Joe" cardigans are being replaced by organdy and pique blouses. For evening, flowers are worn preferably in the hair—or on the wrist or purse.
Madame Jeanne Lavin is of the older French school; devoted to lavish elegance, a champion of feminity.
good deal of British, conservative, tradition which combine with his French flair, results in extra-ordinarily beautiful suits that are the specialty of his firm. Creed suits are made to order, so to speak, for the patrician type.
Germaine Monteel is also from France. Her designs are less revolutionary than Schaparelli's but defiantly dramatic.
Pharmacists Dine-Dance; Kappa's Swing It
Kappa Kappa Gamma brought a touch of Florida to the Memorial Union ballroom last night, holding its annual spring formal in a colorful reproduction of a Palm Beach resort. Whitesail boats on a blue ocean, a stretch of sandy beach, and palm trees provided the background. Couples who couldn't keep up the speedy pace set by Clyde Smith and his band lolled under the big beach umbrellas lifting the dance floor. Caricatures of the sorority members decorated walls and called forth considerable jesting and merriment from party-goers. Jack O'Hara, c'42,

U.S. Observes 23rd Anniversary Of War Entrance
Washington, April 6—(UP)—The United States paraded its reviving military might today in observance of the 23rd anniversary of its entrance into the World War. But the celebration was tempered by general expressions of determination to stay out of the European war.
The nation-wide Army Day demonstration drew the censure of Senator George W. Norris, Independent, Neb., the only remaining member of the Senate who voted against American participation in the World War.
"If this is a celebration of our going into the war," he said, "we ought to see that instead of the soldiers marching with cannon and guns they ought to march clothed in crepe."
Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg, Republican, Mich., issued a warning to "all diplomats" that the new American slogan is "millions for defense but not a dollar or a boy on foreign soil."
Determination to stay out of the current conflict also was voiced by Senator Robert A. Taft, Republican, Ohio, who said the American people's attitude is such "that there is no reason to fear hysteria which might sweep us into war," and by Senator Homer T. Bone, Democrat, Wash., who observed that "the United States now possess safeguards against involvement in war that it lacked in 1917."

With Campus attention turned to why and how KU. coeds didn't rate among the best dressed women in America this year, we have a few suggestions to offer on what University women can to do improve the natural heritage mother nature gave them. The first model is the coed with a slender face.
Feminine Briefs
A slender face is something to be proud of, but it needs soft halo effects to present the most attractive appearance. Don't wear a hat that makes you look as shorn as a "Mexican hairless" pup. And the same thing holds true of necklines. Collarless styles are not for you. Nor square shoulders. Nor straight box jackets. But try more graceful lines and see what they do for you. A bonnet-ish hat will make you look little girl-ish and terribly appealing. With it wear a long, pageboy bob, caught high at the temples. Light colors are good for you, too, and soft lingerie collars. Finally, wear rouge on the cheekbones, never below them—or you'll look ghastly gaunt.
Which reminds us of a recent election. Jimmy Robertson was selected

Jones Places For Kansas Broadjumper Finishes SPORTSCOPE Fourth at Texas Relays
By Larry Winn
Well, I was wrong again when I said a few days back that Glenn Cunningham, "the barrel-chested" Kansan would probably not run in the Kansas Relays, but that he would just be there as a figure head, more or less.
Glenn said he wanted to run, and proved his point by taking a short workout on the K.U. indoor track. Before this year, Glenn said that he had found it terribly hard to find time to really get into shape for the Relays, because they come so early in the outdoor season, but this year, the "Elkhart Express" thinks that he will be in good condition by the time the Relays roll around on April 20.
His opponents will probably be picked from a field of fine runners of the mile distance like Charles "Chuck" Fenske, the Rideout twins, Archie San Romani, and Gene Venzke. All of these runners have been here before, and have made very good appearances on our track. There will probably be about four in the "special mile" race.
But the famous Kansan dropped into town yesterday morning and made me out a liar, when he insisted that he was going to run and that he wanted a good fast field of opponents. It came as a surprise to everyone including his former coach, Bill Hargiss.
Last year, Cunningham defeated Fenske, but during the indoor season this year, "Chuck" has supposedly taken the title, the "mile king," away from the former University of Kansas star. The former Wisconsin flash has beaten Glenn about eight times on the indoor track this season.
Kansas Relays Preview: From the headlines in the Kansas City Times, Saturday morning, it looks as if Southwest high school from Kansas City, Mo., will be favored to win the Kansas City, Mo., "special half mile" relay title again. The Indians have won the title for the two preceding years, and if they come through again this year, they will go home with the trophy for that event for keeps.
One of the outstanding participants in the Kansas event this year will be the small, Big Ten dash champion, Myron Piker, from Northwestern. The short blonde was here last year and placed third in a fast field, but the Wildcat star has been making very good performances this year.
It looks like the new fraternity on the Hill, T.K.E., has done a nice job of rounding up most of the K.U. football players, who were not already fraternity men. At least no one can say that they won't be an athletic fraternity.
From Nebraska comes the news that Hermann Rohrig and Sid Held, football and basketball stars respectively, are out for the Cornhusker diamond team. Held is one of the outstanding pitchers of Coach Wilbur Knight's batsmen, and Rohrig who caused the Kansas football team so much trouble in Lincoln last fall, is fighting for a position in the outfield.
Coach Bill Hargiss' track team went down to very nearly total defeat at the thirteenth annual Texas relays in the Memorial stadium at Austin yesterday. The only exception to the complete failure to win points was J. R. Jones, who broadjumped his way into fourth place.
The four-mile relay team, composed of Ryan, Edwards, Thompson, and Harris which was expected to place, did not make a showing. The one-mile relay team of Greene, Hamilton, Foy, and Reed was also unsuccessful.
Bill Bevan, Kansas' hope in the pole vault was struck from the first-contender list. Beefus Bryan, Texas star, won the event with a vault of 13 feet. Bevan had a high of 12 feet 9
Knute Kresie Or John Burge Will Get Call
Mike Getto's Kansas baseball squad managed to sneak in a five inning practice game before the rains came yesterday morning, and as a result, the Jayhawk coach has narrowed his search for an opening day pitcher to two men.
By Bob Trump, c'49
John Burge and Knute Kresie pitched for the opposing nines and both hurled so well that Getto immediately dismissed the other moundsmen from his mind. His only trouble now lies in deciding which of the two will start against Rockhurst here next Wednesday afternoon.
Burge went the entire distance and shut out the Reds by a score of 7 to 0. Kresie, who pitched almost as well, was the victim of a faulty defense.
Both men have rounded into shape more quickly than the rest of the Jayhawk hurriers, and both are sure to get plenty of work during the 18 game campaign which looms ahead. Kansas State Comes Friday
In selecting the pitcher for Wednesday's game, Getto must look forward two days, for on Friday afternoon, the Kansas State Wildcats invade Mount Oread for the first of a two day series. With three games in four days this early in the season, the wear and tear on the pitching staff is liable to be something terrific.
Yesterday's practice tilt saw Burge pitching for the winning Whites with Cadwalader behind the plate. Cameron was at third, Napier at short, Kraemer at second, and Thompson at first. The outfield was composed of Beins in right, Mensley in center, and Martin in left.
Getto announced yesterday that Warner Coffin, slugging outfielder, had been declared ineligible for Big Six competition because he had made a barnstorming trip with a professional basketball team while he was out of school last year.
To fill the gap left by Coffin's departure, Getto may move Eldretch Cadwalader from catcher to outfield, leaving Monte Merkel to take care of the bulk of the work behind the bat. Cadwalader, who has played

Cunningham to Appear In His Last K.U. Relays
Glenn Cunningham, the "Elkhart Express," will compete against a crack field of milers in the feature race of the eighteenth annual Kansas Relays, April 20, it was announced today by Gwinn Henry, director of the Relays.
In all probability there will be a field of four, with Glenn's opponents being picked from "Chuck" Fenske, the Rideout twins, Archie San Romani and Gene Venzke.
Cunningham arrived in Lawrence Saturday after a long trip on the

road. He told reporters that the winter season had been strenuous, but that now he would have some time to get in shape for a fast race.
Nine Qualify For Golf Team
Hampered by a driving wind and a cold rain, several of the golfers failed to shoot the low scores of which they are capable, and, with this in mind, Coach Shannon has kept them on the squad and will hold a playoff early this week.
Nine candidates for the University golf team survived the qualifying rounds played yesterday, William H. Shannon, varsity coach, announced last night.
Dean Ritchie, captain elect of the team, who holds the state amateur championship, was medalist for yesterday's play.
The following men comprise the tentative squad: Jerry Ewers, William M. Gray, Samuel Hepworth, Robert LaGree, William McEhenny, Ted Nelson, Dean Ritchie, Samuel Sifers, and Roderick Wakeland.
Opening match of the year will be with Kansas City University of Kansas City, Mo., here Wednesday afternoon. The same day, the University tennis team will meet the Kansas City University team on the varsity courts.
Westinghouse Offers Students Jobs
Westinghouse Offers Students Jobs Stewart Gray, e'40, and Robert Huller, c'40, students in the School of Engineering and Architecture, have received jcb offers from the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, according to an announcement this morning from the office of Dean Ivan C. Crawford. Westinghouse company representatives interviewed job applicants here at the University several weeks ago.
Inasmuch as this is expected to be Glenn's last season of actual competition, this probably will be his final appearance at the Kansas Relays. Consequently Cunningham wants to make it his best and said Saturday that he expected to spend the two weeks before the race resting and training.
The former Jayhawk ace worked out on the Kansas cinder track Saturday morning and then left for his home in Peabody. He was to return to Lawrence in several days.
In previous years, Glenn has found it difficult to get in top shape this early in the season because of limited time to train. Consequently, his statement that he believes he will be in fine form for the Relays means considerable.
The famous son of the Kansas prairies has dominated the mile field during the past decade as few track and field figures ever have. He is now in his ninth year as one of the two or three best milers in the world.
Glenn first established his claim to national superiority in the mile in 1932 as a college sophomore. He won the National Collegiate championship in the mile that year and was the first American runner to finish in the 1500 meter run at the Olympics.
Last year at the Relays Cunningham defeated "Chuck" Fenske in the special mile run. Glenn has been the brightest star in the firmament of satellites at the Kansas Relays the past eight years.

High Stars Watch Kansas In Grid Tilt
By Carlyle Dawes, c'42
The Jayhawk footballers staged a practice game for about 10 high school gridiron men yesterday afternoon on a slick, muddy field, from 3 to nearly 5 o'clock.
Of about 35 invitations sent to high school football players throughout the state, only the 10 arrived. Many of the coaches sent word that they were unable to pare their track-football stars now because of various track meets which were now being held.
Others replied that they would be here for the Kansas Relays and would at this time try to make arrangements with the K.U. coaches to look over the football situation offered.
A continual, fine rain hampered players for all of the four 15-minute quarters, and also gave George Stapleton, Max Replogle, and "Dutch" Urlaub, officials for the game, a good deal of trouble.
Although the rain chilled the K.U. gridsters, nearly all showed up exceptionally well. Vandavere and Weinstram endeavored to toss some passes, but the attempts were incomplete because the receivers were unable to hold on to the slippery ball.
As a result of the two hours of playing, no touchdowns were scored by either team. Chet Gibbons attempted to kick a field goal from the 3-yard line, but the trial went to 0 of the goal posts.
Wilson, Massare, Fry, Hartman,
J. Kearns, Weinstram, and Vanda-
vor all showed up well for the
varsity members. Bob Hagen, a
freshman, played the whole game
and showed considerable talent and
determination throughout the play
period.
Coaches Hurt and Henry allowed all 50 of the men who reported for he chilly practice game to play.
Both lines were strong and the teams showed difficulty in breaking through them. J. Kearns, a player for the Reds, and Herb Hartman, consistently did more than their share in the line.
When the 50 players left the field for the showers they looked as the field they had just left. Shirts, pants, legs, arms and faces were plastered with mud.
From the looks of the game yesterday, the Jayhawkers would consult the weather man and see if they can't arrange most of their games when it is going to rain next fall. Every man out was playing as though his life was at stake, is the 0- 0 score also indicates.

K.U. Relays 'Hot Bed' For Olympic Decathlon
The hot bed of Olympic decathlon champions, the Kansas Relays, will be grooming another pot ntial international winner here April 19 and 20, just in case the Olympics are held this year.
From the Kansas Relays decathlon came the 1932 Olympic champion in the 10-event test, Jim Bausch, and the 1936 winner, Glenn Morris. Both had their first competition in the decathlon at Lawrence.
Playing a dominant role in the decathlon in recent years have been athletes from Colorado. After Glenn Morris came down from Denver in 1936 to win the all-around test and go on to Olympic fame and glory, he was followed as champion here by a University of Colorado star, Dick Kearns.
The slim Kearns, small compared to Bausch and Morris, first captured the decathlon here in 1937 as a junior. The following year he repeated this victory, boosting his point total to 6840.
An unattached entrant from Imperial, Neb., E. Lee Todd, ended the Colorado string of championships last year by winning in a hairline finish. Todd will be back to defend his title this year, but it merely means more glory for Colorado as the former Nebraskan is now in school at Colorado U.
The wiry Todd is a graduate of Hastings, Neb., college, and has been teaching school in Nebraska the past several years. His enrollment at the University of Colorado this year

was a bid for a berth on the Olympic team.
Todd's strongest event usually is the javelin throw, an event in which he can make marks of 180 feet and better. Here last year, however, he was up against an even better man in the javelin, Clarence Odell of Oklahoma A. and M.
After a conclusion of the final event, the closest finish in the history of the Kansas Relays had been recorded. Todd had won by five points, 6557 to 6552.

"Suiting You--- That's My Business"
By Tom Higgins
After dropping the first game of a volley ball series to the Beta Theta Pi team, the Phi Gam's rallied to win in the last two matches. The victory enables the Phi Gam's to play the Delta Upsilon group. The winner of this match will battle it out with the Sig Alph's for the championship.
The Sig Alph's defeated Delta Upsilon's last Thursday to finish on one end of the winner's bracket. The Alph's need only one more win to cinch the cup, while the opposing team would of necessity, have to win three games in a row, if they were to edge the Sig Alph team out of a championship.
Play will commence Monday afternoon in all of the spring sports, weather permitting. The schedule for Monday:

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTERN
Democracy and War
Today a regretable epidemic of dissention exists in both Britain and France as the two war partners seem to lose sight of a fundamental concept of government, namely that effective administration of any man's war requires both internal and external cooperation.
While this concept is well known and generally admitted, the Allied nations continue to flounder in petty politics and personal jelousies. Already one premier, one war minister, and any number of minor portfolios have been cut down by the political axe.
The Allied powers had similar trouble during the last war and came within an ace of being defeated because of it. Had Germany been on its toes in early 1918, a "blitzkreig" might have ended the conflict with victory for the Reich. Now, once again, British and French political fueds are breaking out, crippling the efficiency of the Allied war machine.
Victims of this strife have been numerous. First was British war minister Hore-Belisha. His outspoken views and criticism were the primary reasons for his dismissal. Then French chamber of deputies booted capable Premier Daladier in favor of Paul Reynaud, a bitter Nazi-hater. Since, in times of crises, there is always a great turnover in French leaders. Reynaud may be only one in a long series of premiers to come.
Principal cause for dissention in England is the run around being given to ex-foreign minister Anthony Eden. It is believed in many quarters that if there is a Briton capable of carrying on a campaign against Germany, it is Eden, who had the foresight to tell the world four years that it must stop salaaming before the German and Italian "destiny men".
No one questions the right of the "masses" to have a say as to whether a nation should go to war or not. But once a government is at war, all parties and their followers should cooperate for the quick realization of their unified aim.

Premiere Gets Four Stars
The trumpeting and ballyhoo which naturally accompanies a movie premiere by now has died down enough to allow sane reflection on "The Dark Command." Publicity men and stars have headed back to Hollywood. Cub reporters have blown off about "refreshments." Sophisticated columnists have put in their share of scoffs and digs.
Sneer if you like at estimates of the crowds. You can't get around the fact that—40,000 or 400,000—every person was hugely entertained. Premiere day was a success, from the standpoint of either the Hollywood folks or the Lawrence and University spectators. It was that because of the hard work by local officials and willing cooperation by the stars and Republic officials. Regardless of whether it follows historical fact, "The Dark Command" is drawing favorable comments from the large numbers who continue to see it.
University students who went to the premiere said, "It was wonderful!" Their impression only slightly exaggerates the general feeling of students and townspeople who attended some of the events. We move to extend all concerned a vote of thanks for a swell job.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By Marilyn McBride
Note for the Why Live Department: Dean Ritchie went to the Indiana-K.U. basketball game. The loud-speaker boomed out his name; he innocently went to the office expecting a Phi Gam brother to greet him. Instead a little man handed him a $45,000 damage suit . . . he was a process server.
June Storey of the lynx coat and bad case of poison oak thought local boy "Sonny" jones very nice. Jones spent a quiet Saturday at the Phi Psi house recuperating from three dates with the Hollywood blonde. She said good-bye regretfully and asked Sonny to write, and come out any week-end. June appears in most of the horse-operas and she told Friend Jones that she would send him as many sombreros as he wanted; the entire Phi Psi chapter will soon be blossoming out like a herd of Texas senators or Garner supporters.
White-collar bootblack. This little sign appeared in a shoe-shop around the corner from Martin's Pedal Habiliments artistically lubricated and illuminated with ambidexterous facility for the infinitesimal remuneration of 10c per operation.
Amateur pisculturist Larry Smith had a small aquarium full of
guppies—tropical fish with a habit of being terrifically prolific. The entire Sigma Chi chapter became interested in Mama Guppie and tribe eagerly reading the daily bulletin of the population of the bowl. Then Smith took the guppy family to the City so the children could grow up in a better environment.
If all the citizens of the United States are as flippantly non-commital as Mr. Roosevelt, the 120.00 census takers might as well saw their arches.
A Columbia University professor finds the average college student morally and intellectually unsophisticated. Said Professor Edman "Colleges are places where nice young men and women have a pleasant time in an environment larger dominated by fraternities, athletic and a routine of the taking and passing of courses. College students remain, on the whole, obedient children, and they are intellectually keen as children, too. This apprentices educational technique is one of the reasons why American undergraduates remain so changelessly immature." Edman doesn't mention the adult environment which is largely dominated by lodges, athletic bridge games, and apronstring politics.

Bang! You're Dead--- Students Learn Correct Methods of Shooting
Down in the basement of Fowler hall tacked to the east wall of the rifle range are same examples of the seasons best shooting. The very center of each target, which is about the size of a dollar, is neatly perforated by shot strikes. Their scores are marked 90, 93, and 94, "Standing". Range 50 feet. Scrawled across the cards are the names of the competing markskman: W. Smiley, Bob Price, C. Alloway, and T. Raymond.
What in the way of training, and practice is behind this skill?
The credit must go to the method by which the U.S. army teaches its men to shoot. The most essential part of the instruction consists of exercises in sighting and aiming the rifle, a special way of squeezing the trigger, and various ways of using the sling.
The sighting and aiming exercises is a matter of adjusting the sights for variations in the range and wind velocity and of lining them on the target.
The instructors place much emphasis on the trigger pulling. To avoid the natural tendency of the ordinary person to flinch when the piece is discharged, the beginner is taught to hold his breath and squeeze very steadily. Not knowing when the discharge will be, his flinch comes too late to affect the aim.
There are four different positions from which the rifleman must learn to fire. The first is called the prone
position. It is the most desirable be cause it affords a vise-like steadine for the rifle and is least exerting to the man. Such scores as 98, 99, at 100 are very common from this position.
The other positions are sitting kneeling, and standing. Of all the four, standing requires the most skill. To appreciate a score of 94 or need only to have tried shooting a target from this position.
R. O.T.C. freshmen are required turn in one certified target from each of the four firing positions by the en of the first semester. To be able turn in a good score takes considerable practice on the rifle range from the highest scores that M.R. Edwards chooses the members the K.U. rifle team.

Engine Exhibits Are Taking Form In Marvin Hall
"Oh's" and "alks" will fill the air of Marvin hall, April 19 and 20, when students, alumni, and the general public view more than 100 spectacular and surprising displays to be exhibited at the bi-annual Engineering Exposition.
One of the largest crowds in the history of the engineering attraction is expected because of the added drawing card of the Kansas Relays, scheduled for the same weekend. The exhibits will be shown in four different buildings: Haworth hall, Bailey laboratories, mechanical laboratory behind Marvin hall, and Marvin hall. Arrows will be placed on the campus to direct visitors to the four buildings. In former years, the Engineers' Day program included a parade in which many of the models were exhibited on the floats. Several years ago the law students, perennial enemies of the engineers, destroyed several of the floats the night before the day of the "big parade." Soon after this trouble, University authorities abolished the parade in the hope of preventing Future trouble between the two student bodies.
The exhibits for the exposition will be constructed and set up by students representing the following 11 departments of the School of Engineering and Architecture: the departments of architectural engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mining and metallurgical engineering, petroleum engineering, military science, mechanics, and mathematics.
F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering, is in charge of the exposition plans. George Rippey, head of the Engineering council, will direct the student planning.
The exhibits in the various laboratories will be placed under strict surveillance of campus guards. Much valuable equipment and many expensive exhibits will be accessible to the general public. The precaution is taken each year in order to prevent the loss of any of the valuable equipment.

'Oomph' Girls Get Religion--- Beauties Vie For Title Of 'Miss Spiritual'
New York, Arpil 6.—(UP)—Miss Spiritual New York, the Rev. R. Anderson Jardine would have you know, is Miss Margaret Jamieson, 22, who came from Oxford, N. C., to be a professional model.
A husky brunette, with plenty of "omph", she was selected from 50 girls, mostly models and some showing little spirituality but plenty of shapely legs and figures, who reported to Dr. Jardine in a downtown hotel.
Dr. Jardine, who achieved a fleeting fame and lost his vicarship in England by marrying the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Warfield Simpson, claimed Miss Spiritual New York will be considered for the leading part in a motion picture he intends to make of his book, titled "Indecency."
For that honor she will have to contest with Miss Spiritual Washington, Miss Spiritual Miami and a dozen other Miss Spirituals.

(Continued from page one) Emmett Ellen Smith, a Kansas City alumnus of the fraternity.
K. C. Alumni Lend Hand
Throughout the fall Conroy toyce with the plan, received support from the Kansas City alumni group, and then after Christmas got things rolling. The first Sunday night after the holidays he met with Don Brain, b'40, Joe Moseley, b'41, Joe O'Conner, e'41, and Andy Anderson, ed'41, to start the organization.
Each Sunday since then the men have had dinner together and brought in additional members. Throughout the project the keynote has been secrecy.
Tau Kappa Epsilon was founded at Illinois Wesleyan in 1899 and now has 43 chapters. This will be the fourth Teke group in the Big Six conference, others being located at Kansas State, Nebraska, and Iowa State. Two more chapters in this sector are at Washington University (St. Louis) and Drake.
Name Local Officers
Orman Wanamaker, '39, was elected alumni adviser and is helping to get the fraternity organized He is a member of the housing committee.

At the banquet Friday night representatives from most of the Hill fraternities were present to extend greetings to their new brothers. There was also a delegation of Teke's from K-State and some alumni members from Kansas City. T. W. Wolfe, president of the Kansas City Teke club, acted as toastmaster, and Jim Logan, province hegemon, talked on the history of the fraternity.
The K-Staters stated that they were pleased to see a chapter come to Mt. Oread, saying that in the past they haven't had any place to stay when they came here for football games.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott gave the new group his hearty approval when representatives approached him Feb. 15 asking for permission to organize on the campus. Wana-
All the Miss Spirituals selected thus far have enough of what it takes to make a follies front line event though the selections, Dr. Jardine insists, are based solely on spiritual qualities.
Spiritual looking young girls, Dr Jardine said, "have quiet, restful looks in their faces."

Peace moves which led to the recent K-State-University peace treaty may result in an All-Big Six student coucil conclave this spring, C. H. Mullen, I'42, said today.
The Men's Student Council last night authorized Mullen to send invitations for such a conference to student councils in all Big Six schools. Mullen said he was working on the convention together with Russell Leeper, student council president from Kansas State.
Ratify Treaty
The Council also ratified the recent treaty passed at a peace banquet in Manhattan.
The new goal post ceremony accepted at the peace banquet will mean $5 in the pocket of some University student. Mullen said that a prize would be given here on the campus for the best design submitted for the new goal posts. The goal posts will be give to the winner of the annual State-University football game. A similar contest is being held

They moved Philip Barry's Westchester set into Fraser theater last night and, surprisingly enough, it didn't look a bit out of place. Quite the contrary, the Dramatic Club's production of "Holiday" was a major triumph in campus theatricals.
Director Rolla Nuckles uncovered two important contributions to dramatics on Mt. Oread in Reola Durand and Conrad Voelker. Both of the newcomers, playing their first roles on the Fraser boards, conducted themselves with finesse and understanding through a pair of difficult parts.
Didn't Mimic La Hepburn
Miss Durand played Linda the smart way. She didn't try to copy Katherine Hepburn, who had carried the role in the screen production. Realizing that she would be compared to Hepburn, Miss Durand went serenely about the part in her own way. The result was more than favorable.
Voelker, who looks like basketball players Fred Pralle and Bob Johnson, was so convincing as Johnny, the lad with ideas, that the audience felt it shared those ideas. It is rare that there comes to amateur dramatic circles a beginner with the ease and poise of Voelker. David a Scene Stealer
Larry David continued his career as a scene stealer as he drank his way through the three acts as Ned, the pathetically disillusioned brother. At first he looked and talked more like a gangster than the scion of a tradition honored family, but as the play progressed, he warmed to the part. David's special ability is never overplaying his character. He goes at it with professional assurance and confidence.
Martha Alice Horner's Julia was at times the best thing in the play. She was especially good in the fine second act. The cold stare she gave Voelker late in the scene caused the temperature to drop 20 degrees.
Fey Out-Clowns Himself
Bill Fey clowned his way through his lines in the play with effectiveness that exceeded even himself. The way he read the famous bottle speech did credit to the best Scotch and seltzer tradition.

Men's Glee Club A Hit at Parsons
By Harry Hill, c'40
Parsons, April 9—(Special)—The University Men's Glee Club displayed its vocal wares before an enthusiastic audience at Parsons Junior College this morning, as the sun and climbing temperature greeted songsters on the second day of their tour.
Sent out by the University to "concertize and advertize," the glee club was doing the former splendidly, and it wasn't its fault that the latter was falling short.
The four day tour opened last night in Oswego, where, due to lack of publicity, fewer than 50 persons heard the concert. But today's listeners, including students from two Parsons high schools and the junior college, numbered 1,800. After lunch, the "singing ambassadors" were to leave for Mound Valley for an afternoon appearance.
After this afternoon's stop, the group of singers will go to Chetopa for an 8 o'clock appearance tonight. The glee club will stay there all night and then go to Coffeyvile tomorrow for morning and afternoon concerts. Tomorrow night the University singers will exhibit their wares at Mulvane.
Fair and warmer today and tomorrow according to government weather reports from Kansas City.
Power Units Of the Navy Now at Sea
London, April 9 — (UP) Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain announced today that Britain had given assurances of aid to Norway against Germany's invasion and that "powerful units of the British navy are at sea."
Describing Germany's occupation of Denmark and part of Norway, the Prime Minister declared:
"This fresh and rash and cruel act of aggression will rebound to Germany's disadvantage and contribute to her ultimate defeat."
Chamberlain disclosed that Germany had demanded the surrender of Norway and had been refused despite threats that the nation would be "crushed."
"The British government has learned that the German minister at Oslo made a formal demand for surrender by Norway to Germany and said that in event of refusal all resistance would be crushed," he said.
"This demand was refused by the Norwegian government." The Prime Minister continued:
"We have now heard that fighting has started and there are press reports that Oslo and Kristiansand have been bombed. German troops landed in Norwegian territory at various places."
He said that Germany's claim that the Nazi invasion was in reprisal for the laying of Allied mines in Norwegian territory "will, of course, deceive no one."
The Prime Minister said that German plans for the invasion of Scandinavia were elaborately worked out before the Allied mines were laid.
"So elaborate an operation, involving simultaneous landings at a number of ports by troops accompanied by naval forces, required planning long in advance," he said.
He said that "the members (of the House) realize that it would not be in the public interest to give details at this stage of any operations in which they (the British navy) are now engaged" to aid Norway.

Brush Your Way Up the Beauty Ladder
This clever shirtwaiist dress in a diagonal stripe featuring a full skirt and broad shoulders and the dress on the right with the three bows up the front will be the talk of the afternoon when you "just gather round."
Daily exercises with the brush can increase your glamour from top to toe with the expenditure of little more than energy. We suggest that you work out your own brush routine, then do it or die. It's the kind of thing that—if you skip once—all is lost, for then you'll slight your routine more and more as time goes on. Charm is greatly dependent on grooming. You should always, in all ways, be spic and span—hands immaculate, teeth flushing, hair shining, make-up clean-cut, and clothes well-groomed. It's well worth the trouble, and it's easier with brushes. Immaculate hands, of course, are a "must", and a nail-brush is a quick way to achieve them.
When we were toddlers, a brush was something to be eyed with apprehension . . . and with good cause, too. Those were the days when the back of the brush was more important than the front. But times have changed. The importance of the back of the brush has faded from our lives, and the front now looms impressively large.
Clear-cut lips, drawn in any shape you desire, are assured by the careful use of a lip-brush. First outline
Pearly teeth don't get that way nor stay that way unless they have plenty of attention. Brush them diligently but not too hard. Harsh brushing is apt to injure the gums, and it might also start them receding—which may lead to real trouble.
Lashes look longer when mascara is applied with a brush, and the excess carefully removed with a dry brush.
Shining hair, alive and lustrous takes many and many a brisk brushing. Brush hard, from the scalp out. Curls and waves will hold up better in healthy hair.
A glowing complexion, the kind that's almost transparent, is a probable reward after the faithful use of the complexion brush. It cleans the skin thoroughly and steps up circulation.

Poetry Contest Entries End
Approximately two dozen entries were received in the William Herbert Carruth poetry contest. The deadline was noon yesterday.
The actual number of entries will not be known until the envelopes containing the poems are opened, contest officials said. Under the rules of the contest, three typewritten copies of each poem submitted, signed by an assumed name and sealed in an envelope, must be accompanied by another sealed envelope containing the real name of the author. Both envelopes were to have the name of the poem and the author's assumed name written on the outside, but this was not done in all cases.
Kenneth Lewis, '39, won the contest last year. He was also firstplace winner in 1936 and 1937. Last year the title of his entry was "Sonnets from a Diary." It was a series of eight sonnets.
Prizes of $60, $40, and $20 will be given first, second, and third winners. Winners will be announced about May 1, it was said. Their names will also appear on the Commencement program.

He will tell seniors and job seekers some of the points an employer looks for and expects in future employees. Stevenson will take the employer's viewpoint but will spice his talk with ideas and suggestions on how to get a job. The stress, however, will be placed on employee relations after the employee has the job.

E. F. Sullivan Is Head Of Hill Book Hospital
In the sub-basement of Watson library is a hospital—a hospital which, though only 30 by 50 feet in size, annually gives new life to 2,400 patients. The head doctor of this small, efficient institution is a jovial red-haired Irishman, Mr. E. F. Sullivan, and he operates on books, not on human beings.
"One very cold morning when was an apprentice", he relates, "the shop for which I worked sent me to Susan B. Anthony's with some books. She made me take my cap off outside the door and in that cold weather stand out there and scrape my feet. I used to deliver books to her often. I still can plainly see her house at 21 Prospect street".
After his apprenticeship in Rochester, Mr. Sullivan worked in various eastern and southern cities. "At that time, I had the itch to
Dr. Sullivan began his book doctoring 45 years ago as an apprentice in Rochester, N.Y., when he was both shop helper and messenger boys.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott will conclude the series at the third forum when he will instruct seniors from the viewpoint of both sides of the desk. Chancellor Malott has had experience from both sides, first at Harvard Business College as assistant dean and then with the Hawaiian Pineapple Limited.
travel," the book doctor chuckled, "so I combined pleasure and work. I went to some large city I wished to see, got a job, and worked. Every city has a little different method of book binding. I thought I could learn my trade more thoroughly by working in several cities. For the past 22 years I have worked in Kansas, first at Topeka, and then here in Lawrence."
There are four part time workers assisting Mr. Sullivan. Besides binding books, they map mount maps, make portfolios, and bind magazines. Every year 1500 University books are sent to the state bindery at Topeka.
"Book binding is not just a skill", Mr. Sullivan says, "It is an art which began back in the fifth century. Most work today is done by machine, but in the University bindery we do it all by hand with brass tools."
Mr. Sullivan came to Lawrence specifically to set up the University book bindery, established in the present Watson library 14 years ago.
Kansas Graduate Gets Fellowship At Bryn Mawr
Notice of her appointment as a fellow in the German department of Bryn Mawr, noted women's college of Pennsylvania, was received today by Miss Katherine Aston, graduate student in the department of German here.
Miss Aston, born in England but educated here, probably is one of the youngest persons to escape the German air raids of the last World War. She is 22 years old, obtained her A. B. here in '37, is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and of Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Dolls and Models Eyed
By Visual Instruction Bureau
Dolls dressed to represent foreign countries, tiny models of windmills, stage coaches and well sweeps, and exhibits of Kansas products, are all to be found in the office of the Bureau of Visual Instruction.
These objects have been made by the Kansas Museum Project of the W.P.A. and will be used as illustrative material for schools by the Bureau. Visual aids include more than just films and glass slides, and exhibits such as these are designed especially for schools not equipped with projectors.
The dolls, which are arranged in pairs, represent 24 countries, ranging from the Turkish models to the guitar-strumming Spaniards. Each pair carries the flag of its country. Early American history is represented by the old-fashioned wooden turnstile and farrier's bench, but the modern oil derrick is there, also.
Portfolios of leather and metal work, block printing, and weaving are available for class room use as well as samples of Kansas products.
Plans for handling and shipping the exhibits have not yet been completed, according to Fred S. Montgomery, secretary of the Bureau.
These exhibits will be used in the visual instruction classes given at the summer school session.
Berlin, April 9.—(UP)The German high command asserted today that one battleship and one other large vessel of the British fleet were damaged severely by bombs in the German attack on Scapa Flow last night.

SPORTS
TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1940
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Well, the spring sports are finally in the grove at last. Track jumped the gun last Saturday and made its first appearance in the Texas Relays in Austin.
Inaccurate details by wire were responsible for the fact that the Kansan did not carry a story about the four-mile relay team placing second. It was all news to me when members of the team popped up on the Hill with their silver medals.
The team of Joe Ryan, Dick Edwards, Don Thompson, and Ray Harris should be given all due credit for their feat. Although the track was sloppy from a two-day rain, Ryan and Edwards both ran very well. Thompson then turned in a fast mile to give anchor man Ray Harris, a thirty-five yard margin over the field. Harris ran well until the last half of the fourth lap and then that bad ankle acted up again, but Ray half ran, limped, and hobbled into a second place.
J; R. Jones, Jayhawker broad-jumper leaped his way into a fourth place in that event. First reports had the Kansan leading the jump, but he fell by the way in the fourth and last trials, when three other jumpers bettered his mark.
BASEBALL gets under way this week with the Kansas batsmen meeting Rockhurst here Wednesday afternoon. Mike Getto will probably start "Knute" Kresie, a sphomore against the Hawk team from Kansas City. John Burge is another pitcher that might get the opening slab ticket.
Then again on Friday afternoon, the Kansans play host to the diamond team from Manhattan. By this time, Getto should fairly well know which boys are going to be in the K.U. starting lineup for the season.
TENNIS AND GOLF are the twins of the spring sports. Wherever the golf team goes, the tennis team is sure to follow, because the schedules of these two teams are exactly the same. Coaches Urhllaub and Shannon will go hand in hand to represent the University. The first match of the season is Wednesday afternoon when our teams play like teams from the Kansas City University.
Around the links we find Dean Ritchie as medalist for the 36-hole qualifying round played Friday and Saturday. Ritchie played for the Jayhawker team last year. Other golfers who looked pretty good considering the weather were Bill Gray, San Sifers, and Rod Wakeland. Wakeland represented Kansas a few times last year too.
On the court team under the instruction of Coach "Dutch" Urlaub, we have two returning lettermen in Howard Engleman and Kermit Franks. Both were strong players last year and should be twice as good this season with one year experience.
WEEPING DEPT. All followers of Kansas football should be weeping because K.U. has just lost one of the most promising centers it has ever seen on the gridiron. His name is Tommy Robertson, who hailed from Duncan, Oklahoma. He followed Vic Hurt up here from Tulsa, but somehow he could not manage to play football and keep his grades up too.
Four-Mile Team Inaccurate Wire Report Fails to Credit Kansans
Despite inaccurate details of the Thirteenth Annual Relays in Austin, Texas, by wire, Kansas fared much better than the results indicated, according to Coach Bill Hargiss.
The four-mile relay team, which was recorded as not placing, took second place in the long event. After Joe Ryan and Dick Edwards ran a fine mile, Don Thompson, who was running third, passed the baton to Ray Harris with a thirty-five yard lead over the field.
Harris held this lead until the last half of the fourth lap when his ankle gave way under the strain of such hard running. He hobbled the last fifty yards to the finish line, but was nosed out of the lead into second place.
J. R. Jones, who placed fourth in the broad jump Saturday, was leading the field of fast competition until the last round of jumping took place, when three men bettered his mark on their final attempts on the rain-soaked runway.
Bill Green, Glenn Foy, Bill Reed, and Kenny Hamilton, who made up the one-mile relay team won their heat from five other teams. The teams in the second heat ran to the tape in a huddle, and four of them bettered the time of the Kansas relay by only tenths of a second.
Bill Bevan found trouble in getting up into the air from the wet track. Rain poured onto the track until 10 o'clock Saturday morning, and as a result, the vaulters nearly lost their shoes as they sunk about two inches into the muck on their take-off. About the only pull they could get when leaving the ground was from the arms.
Coach Hargiss expressed the attitude of "being very well pleased with his team" and that they "did exceptionally well under the conditions they had to undergo."
A proposal to call off the meet until yesterday, because of the rain, was given due consideration, but was finally given up.

Relays Entries Coming In Fast
Entries for the Kansas Relays are really beginning to pour into the athletic office. The entries were held up because of the no Sunday mail delivery, but 36 more high schools entered this morning.
A post card reminder was sent out to each of the high school coaches, last Saturday morning by the Kansas Relays Committee. This reminder is probably one reason for the flood of entries in the high school division.
In Class A, 17 more high schools sent in their entries this morning, and in Class B, 10 schools entered. The entries which came in this morning included Oklahoma A. and M. in the university class, College of Emporia, and Sterling College in the college class, and Parsons Junior College, and Trenton, Mo., Junior College.

Americans In War Zone
Germany Says Invasion Was Allies Fault
Berlin, April 9 — (UP) — Germany notified Denmark and Norway today that she had taken them under her "protection" to defend them from Great Britain and France; that their independence would be respected if they permitted German troops to occupy them peacefully, and that if they resisted they would be "ruthlessly broken."
In notes to the two countries announcing that German troops were occupying strategic points in both of them, Germany reviewed her side of the war, declared that the allies had started it without "sensible reason," had "violated the most primitive rules of international law" by their "hunger blockade," and had "involved the neutral world" by their method of sea war.
Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, in a radio address directed to Denmark and Norway, said the territorial integrity and political independence of both countries would be respected and Germany would not use them
as bases for military operations against the Allies "as long as Great Britain does not compel such action."
The official German news agency announced that "in order to repulse the enemy's projects, mines
'Daisy' Scoops World
Washington, April 9—(UP)—America's only woman diplomat, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman—"Daisy" to all her friends—scooped the world today by revealing that Norway is at war with Germany.
"On the Norwegian west coast, German pilot stations have been formed, whose directions are to be followed in entering harbors," the agency said. "The possibility of the passage of peaceful shipping through the blocked area in the Skagerrak will be announced later."
The memoranda to Norway and Denmark said, "Germany, for its part, made every effort to protect neutrals' rights by trying to confine the sea war to zones between Germany and her opponents.
were laid last night before all important harbors of the Norwegian west coast as well as in the Skagerrak in territory between Linesness-Loodbjerg and Flekkoey-Skandnaes-Hage.
Play By Play Account Events Leading Up To Denmark's Involvement
Mrs. Harriman, a 69-year-old grandmother who prefers to be known as Florence Jaffray Harriman, sent a cable to the state department that gave the outside world its first information about the Norwegian government's action.
She has proved her ability in the diplomatic line since she was appointed in 1937, including her efficient handling of the S. S. City of Flint incident. The state department places full reliance in her work
But Mrs. Harriman — gracious, gray-haired, universally-admired—is used to handling "hot potatoes," both literally and figuratively.

German Might Strikes At Scandinavia

By The United Press Foreign Editor German military might struck into Scandinavia today with a roar that sent tremors throughout Europe.
With clock-like speed and efficiency German troops moved over the Danish border and by 8 a.m. Copenhagen was in German hands. Simultaneously German troops landed in Norway, German warships blasted at Norwegian coast defenses, German airships bombed Norwegian cities—but Norway fought back.
Quickly the Allies moved to aid Norway. Hasty telephone conferences between Paris and London, hasty war cabinet and war council sessions decided on immediate action. Already, according to some reports, Allied aid is en route to Norway.
Every capital in Europe was on the alert. So was Washington and far-off Tokyo. The question on the lips of high officials and common citizens alike was: does this mean long-dreaded total war will come? Allies Prepare Counter-Measures
Certain it was that the Allies were preparing urgent and drastic counter-measures. British naval units, scattered up and down Norway's long coast, were expected to go into action against German warships, transport ships and landing parties.
Germany announced her action "protective." Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels went to the microphone of the German radio to announce Germany would not use Scandinavian nations as bases for operating against Great Britain unless the British "compel" such action.
And in Berlin, too, it was said that assurance of "complete loyalty" had been obtained from the Danes, that German occupation occurred without incident and that life in Copenhagen was proceeding normally.

The Norwegians resisted the German assault. Coastal batteries beat off an attempt by German cruisers to force Oslofjord. The small Norwegian army and navy was prepared to fight wherever a stand could be made.
Allies Pledge Immediate Aid
Norwegian ministers to London and Paris promptly conferred with the British and French governments and got a pledge of immediate aid "without strings."
Germany announced its action as in retaliation for the Allied surprise of yesterday when mines were laid in three fields within Norwegian territorial waters.
But there was every indication that the move into Denmark and Norway had been long planned and with the same precise attention to detail and time-table efficiency that marked the German blitzkrieg on Poland, the invasion of Austria and the march into Czecho-Slovakia.

Oh yes, and there was Bill McGinnis, who had a leading role as the butler . . . he led almost all of the characters onto the stage.
The play was well directed, polished, and in top shape. Probably no play produced on this campus ever opened more adequately prepared. It is the best work this writer has seen Director Nuckles do over a period of four years.
Larry David, in addition to playing his part admirably, supervised the lighting with Joe Kennedy. Dick Tippin and Joe O'Neill made up the stage crew and Esther Mitchell was the prompter.
The curtain will go u pagain tonight at 8:20. The play will continue Wednesday and Thursday.

Capital Fears For Safety of 3,000 Citizens
Washington, April 9—(UP)
German invasion of Scandinavia today aroused much concern for the safety of 3,000 Americans there and brought high officials scurrying back to the capital from holiday trips.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull cut short a vacation at Atlantic City to board the first available Washington - bound train. He was due about noon to direct handling of a host of new problems created by spread of the war.
President Roosevelt, on holiday at Hyde Park, N. Y., received up-to-the minute advices from the State department. He was expected to start for Washington soon.
From Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, U. S. Minister to Norway—this country's only woman diplomat—came first word that Norway was at war with Germany as a result of Nazi forces' entrance into that country. She also sent official confirmation of the German invasion of Denmark.
The department's statement at 1:30 a.m., announcing Mrs. Harriman's message said:
"The American minister to Oslo, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, telegraphed the Department of State tonight informed her that the foreign minister informed her that the Norwegians have fired on four German warships coming up the Oslo Fjord and that Norway is at war with Germany.
"In response to a request by the British minister to Norway, the American legation at Oslo has been authorized to take over British interests in Norway if he (the British minister) is forced to evacuate."
Uncertain whether her cables direct to the state department announcing Norway's entrance into the war were getting through, Mrs. Har-riman also telephoned to Fred Sterling, American minister at Stockholm, and requested him to relay her information to Washington.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
So when the weather-man turns thumbs-up the populace can expect good weather—about nine times out of ten. That one time, unfortunately, will probably come during a picnic.
Rare is the case of the authentic weather prophet who first knows of the thundershower when he ruins his new Panama. This nation's weather-map-marker isn't playing kindergarten games. His scientific product can be accepted as approximating the real truth. When he makes mistakes, it's admitting that some weather can't be prophesied. But such weather never lasts long nor covers much territory.
With weather reports saying "Fair and warmer," after a picnic-soaking, new-hat-soaking, and shoe-muddying week-end, students merely shrug their shoulders. That the sky might turn inside out last Saturday this region's quota of Uncle Sam's 2100 Weather Bureau employees had made plain. And that same quota of thermometer-peerers have left student and citizen gripers unhappily aware that there is no longer anyone or anything to blame for the weather—except Kansas, and maybe Fate.
Certain Weather
Science Marches On
1940's weather forecaster has come out of his Mickey Mouse hole almost as mighty a figure as Leo the Lion. With modern forecasting equipment in the third dimension, he can put forth a 75 to 90 percent airtight prophecy any day of the week and stride into the class of scientists—leaving the quack strata forever behind him. He has discarded the old issue dodgers of "probably showers" and "generally unsettled" for the blunt "showers" or "unsettled."
★ ★ ★
A new "magic bullet," resulting from the laboratory marriage between sulfanilamide and one-half of the molecule of vitamin B-1, the nerve vitamin, has led scientists to believe that they now have an effective weapon against a host of deadly bacterial infections for which no specific agent existed before.
The drug, sulfathiazole, described recently before the annual congress of the American College of Physicians, is expected to be made available soon for general medical use by the Federal Food and Drug Administration.
Some 1,600 patients have received the drug on an experimental basis, both alone and in conjunction with the administration of sulfapyridine, widely used for pneumonia and meningitis, at more than forty medical centers. Jaudice, "drug fever," renal cholic, and other undesirable effects produced in some cases by sulphapyridine and sulfanilamide were not observed to accompany the use of sulfathiazole. Toxicity was negligible.
The most significant finding concerning the new chemical is its effectiveness against infections caused by staphylococci, a family of organisms causing infectious diseases against which neither sulphapyridine nor sulfanilamide were successful in combating.
Thus, with each contribution emanating from research laboratories the practice of medicine is more and more becoming the science of medicine. Gradually the frontiers of effective
medicine are broadening, and the symbol of Aesculapius, the divine physician, is taking on greater significance.

Signs of the times: the familiar electric-eye rifle which you used to shoot at a fast moving chicken-thief has been replaced by a new marksmanship gadget . . . it is a machine-gun that spouts electric flashes at an elusive airplane flashed on a screen. When a direct hit is scored the plane turns red . . . goes down in flames. More effective war propaganda in a toy than in a barrage of headlines.

The Kansas City Star diplomatically editorialized on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch squelch case stating
American radio systems broadcast all night, keeping those jittery enough to stay up well informed as to Europe's latest misfortune. The war is back in the headlines with Norway at war, and Denmark annexed.
that "The Star does not undertake to pass on the case." Then the editorial casually concluded with the story of the vitriolic Senator Glass of Virginia who once said of an opponent in Congress: "If I were allowed by the rules of the Senate, I would call him a liar."
Germany has moved into Denmark. This sounds familiar because it is familiar. This time the stage has shifted to Denmark and the Nazi half of the international juncey team is performing. Denmark is a self-respecting country, 16,000 square miles in area, with a total lack of natural resources, armies, navies, mines or mountains. The Danes are essentially democratic (in the social and economic rather than the political sense of the word). The fat-starved Germans have annexed a country which supplies the world with 30 per cent of its butter.
Trees For Hill--botany. Part of the plan would be a catalogue made by the botanist and keyed with individual plants Each tree would have a card containing pertinent information, such as its method of growth, its hardness, its heat and drought tolerance and any peculiarities. These cards would be of great importance in determining new trees which might be successfully grown in this area, DeRell stated.

Durell, instructor in botany, who has never seen a poem, not even an anthology, as lovely as a tree, has a dream of seeing the Campus turned into a miniature arboretum.
Botanist Proposes Living Memorials for Campus
By Helen Ruth Focht, c'40
Durell's realistic dream is twofold. First, he wants to get a large number of new trees of different varieties placed on the campus in well-planned plantings. Second, he wants to label and catalogue all trees on the campus.
It is a dream of such scope that to realize it would require all possible student cooperation. Durell, with all the enthusiasm of a man who has a great idea, remarked, "If student groups who desire to make memorial gifts to the University would give forestry plantings they would be leaving living memorials which would be here when they returned, no matter how long that should be. Moreover, such gifts would make for a better-looking, prettier campus."
Durell would have zinc labels attached to all trees on the campus. These would carry the scientific name of the tree, its common name, its distribution, any significance the tree might have here, and a key number. The labels' purpose would be to inform the observer of the name of the tree to arouse his interest in that tree and others around it.
Besides being things of beauty and squirrel harbors the trees could serve as an important supplement to the work of the department of
Stockholm, Sweden, April 9-（U—By transatlantic telephone New York)-Denish soldiers, fleeing the German invaders are crossing into so-far neutral Sweden reports reaching the capital indicated today.
"If the campus is to be converted into an arboretum, student interest is essential," Durell said. And it student interest is one-tenth that of the botanist then Mt. Oread wil in time become one of the greens show places of the Middle West.
Treaty Broken----
Soldiers Flee---
Washington, April 9. (UP) German and Denmark signed a non-aggress ion treaty less than a year ago guaranteeing they would not return to force in any circumstance.
On May 31, 1939, the treaty was signed at Berlin. The first article said:
"The kingdom of Denmark and the German Reich will in no circumstance resort to war or to an other form of violence against each other."

Today we offer absolutely the last miere stories but these are well worth repeating.
Time: 1 o'clock, the day of the Big Parade.
Principals: Charlie Long and blue-jeaned spokesman for family exhibiting typical middle-western agrarian characteristics.
Farmer, to Charles: "Can we eat here?"
Supporting east: Family exhibiting typical middle-western agrarian characteristics.
Charles to farmer: "Sure, take this booth here."
Action: Family of six sit down in indicated booth; produce picnic basket and table cloth; and proceed to lay the table with their own silverware, plates, fried chicken, and potato salad. Long stands at door turning away bona-fide customers muttering to himself.
(Curtain)
Sunday, C. H. Mullen came upon a crupper in a mouthful of steak. Upon closer examination the crupper proved to be a shiny white tooth.
While complaining bitterly to the waitress Mullen suddenly recognized an unaccustomed cavity in his upper jaw; felt about tantatively with his tongue; and dismissed the waitress.
After spending part of the evening at the party at the Country Club given for the Motion Picture Stars, Chet Mize brought Wendy Barrie to the hotel with Roy Rogers comparatively early.
After the car drove up in front of the hotel, Wendy and Roy Rogers, (with whom she spends some time and then), jumped out, slammed the door and called to a surprised Mize, "So long, sonny."
Add affectations: Sitty Deming, with a nice quiet apartment of her own, comes to the Alpha Chi house warning her sisters to stay away from the buzzer because she's going to call Burf Brink in New York.
Had she stayed at the apartment it would have been quiet enough but only three people would know she was making a call to Frink. This way 50 people knew it.
We went to see our favorite, W. C. Fields, Sunday afternoon but had to see the show a second time for the alternate laughs. Charlie Henshall made so much noise braying whenever the bulbous-nosed one opened his mouth that we missed every other crack.

Kansas Batsmen Face Hawks
Knute Kresie To Pitch Opening Game
Knute Kresie draws the opening day assignment.
This was the big news today as Coach Mike Getto sent his Kansas baseball team through a short drill by way of final preparation for tomorrow's game with the Rockhurst Hawks.
The Jayhawk coach has reached a decision on his entire starting line-up, save for the man who will work behind the plate. Getto said this morning that he may start team Captain Eldreth Cadwalader in right field and let big Monte Merkel handle the catching assignment. This move would not weaken the team defensively and would add punch to the batting order.
If Getto decides to start Cadwal-
ader at the catching position, Dean Martin will play right field. Larry Hensley, a regular from last year's team will patrol central field, and Ramie Beims will start in left. Cameron To Start At Third
Miller Cameron, speedy sophomore, who has outdistanced other hot corner candidates will play third base. Ray Napier and Charles Kraemer are to form the keystone combination, and Jack Sands, last season's regular first baseman, will start again at his old position.
Leo Cain, one of the four letter men from last year's team which defeated both Missouri and Kansas, may pitch for the Rockhurst nine tomorrow. Two infielders, Joe Drgastin, second baseman, and Mickey Combs, third baseman, and one outfielder, John Scanlon, will be the other veterans in the Hawk lineup. The team coached by Frank Hood won nine of its 12 games last spring. Wet Grounds Prevent Practice
Wet grounds prevented infeld practice last night, and the Jayhawk workout was restricted to signal practice and work in the batting cage. Coach Getto called a half in time to check out game uniforms to all members of his team. Tonight,
heplans to hold an infield drill and to stress defensive and offensive maneuvers.
Umpires for tomorrow's battle will be Dr. L. E. Byce, who has worked many Kansas games in past years, calling the balls and strikes, and Justice of the Peace, Bob Oyler, who has plenty of experience as an arbiter himself, on the bases.
Coach Getto announced today that the game will begin promptly at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, instead of 3:30, as has been the custom in previous years.

Tennis Clinic Here Tomorrow
Under the sponsorship of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, a free tennis clinic will be held here tomorrow, following the K.U-K.C.U. matches. To stimulate interest in the game, Dr. W. T. Jacobs, chairman of the Clinic committee of the U.S.L.T.A., has arranged for a limited number of clinics to be held at the colleges in the Missouri Valley. These engagements are under the direction of D. Manker Patten, a member of the Executive Committee of the Southern Lawn Tennis Association, assisted by John Shostrum, former champion of the Big Ten Conference.
The clinics are held indoors or out, depending upon weather conditions. They involve detailed instructions as to the grip and the correct method of making the various shots. The demonstrations are made by Shostrum on a new practice device approved by the U.S.
L.T.A. called the Tom Stow Stro
Developer.
A rules discussion is conducted by Patten, who also offers suggestions regarding tournament play. Members of the audience are invited to ask questions and to swing at the ball on the stroke developer; faults are pointed out.
Following about two hours of shot demonstration and personal instruction, either a singles or a doubles match is scheduled in which Shostrum plays when weather permits use of courts.
No admission is charged to the clinic and all tennis enthusiasts are invited-experts and novices are welcome.

Though men are scheduled to vote in less than a week, Hill politicians have found this year's election hullabulloo less of a hullabulloo than any campaign in history.
About candidate Bill Farmer, P.S.G.L. is saying "he does worth while things well." And Pachacamac comes back with this about Bob McKay: "A man whose ideals are grounded in an unparalleled record of achievement."
But the real slogan for the 1940 edition of political history should be "easy does it."
Election day is April 16 and, in ordinary years, politicians would have kicked up six scandals and a good street brawl. But to date a communique from the local political front reads like a pre-Norway message from the war in Europe. Just Quietly Disturbing

Hold Heavy Rehearsals On 'Swing'N Sing' Show
"Swing 'n Sing," the W.S.G.A. musical comedy, is beginning to take form with heavy rehearsals scheduled for the next two weeks. Rolla Nuckles, instructor in speech and dramatic arts, will announce the cast for the production, a combination of chorus and comedy skits.
Michigan Professor Discusses Transportation
Omitted in yesterday's Kansan review was mention of the set work done by Don Dixon, instructor in the department of speech and dramatic arts. Dixon's sets are two: one depicting the interior of Seton home and the other a playroom upstairs. Both are tastefully done.
Mr. Nuckles is directing skits and dance numbers. The chorus met for the first time Monday afternoon and learned the fundamentals of their first dance routine.
Most of the music for "Swing 'n
The program will include a combination ballet and comedy dancer, a Negro tap dancer, a quartet composed of a girl and three boys, as well as chorus solos, the modern choir, and the band.
K. U. Band Man--who was especially appointed by the central committee, gave the quiz which was divided into four parts, music history, harmony, band arranging, and composers.
Sing" was written by Bud Balsar, gr., who is also arranging the band music, and Jimmie Hammer, fa'43. Art Wolf, '42, has written a song for the modern choir, and songs by Clarence Peterson, c'42, and Don Clinger, b-'40, are under consideration. The theme of the musical is similar to that used in "Spring Swing" two years ago.

WSGA Demands Itemized Account From the I.S.A.
An amendment demanding an itemized account was added to the motion for the $100 I.S.A. appropriation from the student activity fund by W.S.G.A. council last night.
Striking a record as the longest meeting in two years the W.S.G.A. finally passed the bill with a vote of 12-2.

12-Hour Quizz Necessary To Get in Band Society
Recently Wiley took an exam to end all exams—12 hours in duration—and passed with honors, thus becoming the first and only man in Kansas to gain this distinction. In the entire 48 states there are only 58 active members.
Russell L. Wiley, conductor of the University band, this week assumed the role of student to gain admittance into the American Bandmasters' Association, the most select organization of its kind in the nation.
Each year the society picks a few men in the United States and gives them an opportunity to try for a place in the group. Raymond Stuhl,

Four Ships Are Sunk In North Sea
By Joe Alex Morris U.P. Foreign News Editor
Germany and the Allied powers battled today for control of the North Sea and the most important key to victory in Europe's spreading war.
Fighting—chiefly among warships and aerial fleets—spread along the Norwegian coast and casualties piled up swiftly on both sides, with the operations still in a preliminary stage.
Germany admitted loss of two of its big warships, the 10,000 ton heavy cruiser, Bluecher, and the 6,000-ton cruiser, Karsluhe.
Great Britain lost two destroyers, the Hunter and the Hardy, when an unsuccessful thrust was made against the Norwegian iron ore port of Narvik, which the Nazis captured yesterday after sinking two Norwegian naval vessels with loss of about 500 men.
In addition, the Germans claimed to have scored direct aerial bomb hits on two British battleships and two heavy cruisers; while the British, in a sudden bombing raid on Germans at Bergen, reported two German cruisers had been hit and said another had been torpeded and probably sunk.
The Germans, long reluctant to open a new war front, obviously had considered every possibility of the risk they ran in throwing out long lines on the Norwegian coast and reports of the first results of fighting indicated the effectiveness of their preparations to fight off the Allied air and naval forces.
Considered Every Angle
The British, however, were counting on the ability of the Allied fleets to cut off German forces which occupied such points as Bergen, Stavanger, and Narvik before Nazi expeditionary forces established lines of communication by land. The superior Allied fleets would normally seem to be in a position of advantage in such operations, but they were forced to go against German aerial and U-boat power in addition to the natural defenses of the Norwegian coast.
German Plans At A Glance
Two factors stood out in the German plans:
1—The occupation of Denmark was complete, giving Germany new and important aerial and submarine bases from which to strike at the Allies in the North Sea and at the British Isles.
2-The occupation of important Norwegian ports was complete and

Complete Relief Maps of Counties
Relief mapping of 1,783 square miles in the state has been completed since the cooperative project was established by the Kansas Geological survey; the Federal Geological survey; aid the WPA three years ago, Capt. C. L. Sadler, section chief for the biographic branch of the federal survey staff at the University, reported Thursday.
Maps have been completed of areas covering the northern two-thirds of Wilson county, the south-west corner of Greenwood county, the northeast corner of Elk county, and the northeast corner of Sedgwick county.
Leveling, for the purpose of establishing elevations, has been completed over an area of 3.185 miles during the three-year period, Captain Sadler said.
Topographic maps show the configuration of the land surface and its elevations above sea level, in addition to the location of towns, roads, township and county boundaries, creeks and rivers. They are used in planning all types of work where the shape of the land surface must be considered. The maps also are used by geologists in mapping rock structures.

Gay Parasols Cast Early Fashion Shadows
Women might just as well know now that they can jump into a foam white ruffles this spring and summer and forget their saddle shoes al sloppy cardigans if they like.
No single item promises to contribute more to the feminine revival than the parasol. Will women carry it? That remains to be seen. At any rate it is here. One of New York's designers shows parasols with sheers. Sometimes they are in matching fabrics; they may be in white if the print
Ruffles will make ripping frames for the face. Do you remember the ruffles of your grandmother's day which undulated at the neck and swayed at the hem? With the quiet restraint of modernism, one New York designer has called them to life to take their place on sheer town frecks.
Hats are once more huts. They are built to fatter and to satisfy. Now first the deeper org of fengtul bengtuques is poor, real infiltration is some to have in mind. It is often just burthen before please. The blower is new about its openness, heavier on airflow and possible carefulness with both them. At the moment will be small pads two; booters that dip over the brave and modified cloches that fatter the hair.
With all this flaunting of femininity, it is only reasonable that flowers should bloom profusely. One designer bag covered the revers of an evening dinner jacket with tulips. Floral headaddresses are widely accepted for evening. Now come earrings and clips of artificial flowers; daisies, violets, sweet peas and tiny rosebuds are but a few of those seen on a scouting trip.

Food Handlers Get Clean Slate in 10 Houses
Examination of food handlers has been completed in 10 organized houses, Dr. R.I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, reported today. Four of the houses are sororities and six are fraternities, he said.
The sororities are Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, and Sigma Kappa. The fraternities are Delta Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, Sigma Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Nu, and Kappa Sigma.
"Most of the other food handlers in organized houses have been examined, but a few stragglers who have not reported prevent giving them a clean slate," Doctor Camute son added. "Some houses have only one or two food handlers left to be examined."
Food handlers were first examined in 1937. In 1938 interest lagged, and this year no action was taken until the discovery by a Lawrence physician on Feb. 8 of a non-student food handler working in a Hill fraternity with an active case of tuberculosis.
British Lose Ships---include, a photo-electric color separator, coffee can motor and an illumination display featuring the latest in fluorescent lighting.
London, April 10.—(UP)—Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain announced today that two British destroyers had been lost and a third badly damaged in a battle with six German warships at Narvik, where the British sank six merchant ships and probably one Nazi destroyer.
EngineersBegin Campaign To Advertise Exposition
Leaflets, signs, posters, stickers, and "what have you" are being sent to all parts of the state this week for the purpose of advertising the displays to be exhibited at the Engineering Exposition, April 19 and 20.
Many of the exhibits are completed, while the remainder are receiving finishing touches at the hands of students in the School of Engineering and Architecture. Some of the surprising displays will show new developments in the field of engineering here for the first time.
Of particular interest to Kansas engineers will be the recently purchased testing machine to be shown by students in the department of applid mechanics. The machine has a capacity of 60,000 pounds. The machine is similar to the 3,000,000 pound testing machine of the Aluminum Company of America which received so much publicity in Life magazine recently. The Aluminum Company machine was invented by Richard Templein, c'15, and is named in his honor. This new machine will be demonstrated and the features will be explained.
The students in this department will also display uses of polarized light and will demonstrate some of its wonders. Aeronautical displays, including wind tunnels and various model instruments and planes, will be exhibited by students representing the department of mechanical engineering. Electrical engineers will challenge all visitors to a "ring-post" game which they say cannot be beaten. Other oddities on exhibit
Four Ships---the German troops—apparently including several thousand transported by airplane—were moving rapidly northward in a tremendous effort to consolidate their gains before the Allies could counter-attack in force. The temporarily Norwegian capital at Hamar was reported captured, and there were persistent reports that Norway was negotiating with the Germans for peace.
(Continued from page one)
Other important factors in the broad picture in the North centered around the position of Soviet Russia and of Sweden.
So far, the Swedes have emphasized that they intended to maintain their neutrality if they have to fight to do it. Like Belgium and Holland, however, they were mobilizing their defenses as rapidly as possible and it was made clear in Berlin that the Stockholm government was expected to adopt a cooperative attitude.
There was little to indicate whether Russia would again move into the Scandanavian field as a result of Germany's invasion, but the Allied capitals considered such a move possible after reports that Moscow had transmitted new demands to Finland.

Geology Staff In Chicago Today
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Dr. K. K. Landes, chairman of the department of geology and member of the staff of the Kansas Geological Survey, has been appointed a member of the committee on college curricula survey to convene at the convention of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in Chicago today, tomorrow, and Friday. The University is one of five schools throughout the United States to be represented on this committee.
Dr. R. C. Moore, director of the Kansas Geological Survey, is a member of the Research Committee of the association.
The Kansas Geological Survey is sponsoring an exhibit at these meetings, showing a cross section of a group of rocks in Kansas that are classified as Permian and which are important to petroleum geologists working in central and western Kansas.
A part of the exhibit will show some of the work with the clays of Ellsworth, Lincoln, Ottawa, Cloud, Republic, and Washington counties. Recent publications of the Survey are to be displayed also.
Other members of the faculty of the geology department and of the staff of the Kansas Geological Survey who are attending the convention are Dr. G. E. Abernathy, J. M. Jewett, R. P. Keroher, R. H. King, and Wallace Lee.
Dr. A. H. Turney, professor of education, returned yesterday from the spring educational conference which was held in Chicago last weekend. The educators dealt with some of the pressing problems in their field.

Baseball Jayhawks Open Baseball Season Against Hawks
At 3 o'clock this afternoon, Rockhurst first baseman Harry Tannihill stepped into the batter's box to face the pitching of Jayhawk moundsman, Knute Kresie, and another baseball season was under way.
Behind the plate to handle the curves of the Kansas right hander was Monte Merkel, and stationed in right field was Eldreth Cadwalader, team captain, who had been moved to the outfield in order to add more punch to the Jayhawk offense.
Coach Mike Getto nominated Charles Kraemer, Kansas second sacker, to lead off for the Jayhawks. Miller Cameron, third baseman, and Larry Hensley, center fielder, followed Kraemer
in the batting order, and Cadwalader swung in the cleanup slot.
Jack Sands, last year's first baseman who is doing business at the some old stand this season, batted fifth, followed by Ramie Beim, left fielder, Ray Napier, shortstop, Merkel, the catcher, and Kresie, the pitcher.
Facing the Jayhawks was a line-up studded with rookies, but containing four veterans, who last year led the Rockhurst team to nine victories in 12 starts. Included in this successful season were triumphs over both the Universities of Missouri and Kansas.
Lettermen on the Rockhurst squad are second baseman Joe Drastigin, third baseman Mickey Combs, outfielder John Scanlon, and pitcher Leo Cain.
Following today's game, the Jayhawks will have only one day of rest before they tangle here with the Wildcats of Kansas State Friday and Saturday afternoons.
Coach Getto said this morning that he is planning on using John Burge, veteran right hander, in Friday's game with the Wildcats, and then on coming back with "Red" Dugan the following day. If all goes well this afternoon, the Kansas coach will also have Kresie available for relief duty on Saturday.
Kansas Hopes Go With Robertson
When Tommy Robertson left for his home in Duncan, Oklahoma, a few days ago, the hopes for an all-powerful center on K.U.'s football team went with him.
Tommy was the 200-pound fresh-
man center, who would have made
almost any man's team. Last fall,
when he first suited up for spring
ball, he gave his opposition unended
trouble. The 200-pounds were put
to full avail.
Although his scholastic grades did not measure up to those of his grid-iron ability, they were passing. Robertson had dropped out of several other schools before he departed from Kansas, including Oklahoma and Oklahoma A. and M.
The cause for his leaving, while undetermined definitely, seems to be that he didn't want to study. He was quoted as once saying, "If they would just let me play football I would be Q.K."
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Today is the day for Kansas— we hope. Today we meet three visiting teams here, on our links, courts, and diamond.
On the links the Kansas golfers will meet a promising team from Kansas City University. Likewise, our netmen will battle the tennis team from K.C.U., because our golf and tennis schedules are exactly alike.
Starting for the K.U. team on the mound will be Knute Kresie, who has been looking exceptionally good in practice lately. Second on reserve is John Burge, who, if he doesn't play this afternoon, will probably start on the slab against the Kansas State team next Friday.
Meanwhile, the Jayhawker batsmen will meet the diamond team from Rockhurst College of Kansas City. The exact strength of the Hawks is not known, but this team defeated both Missouri and Kansas on the diamond last year.
LOOKIE, LOOKIE, LOOKIE, here comes cookie, or rather the Jayhawker basketball squad. Aren't they pretties, all garbled out in their gabardine "windbreakers," new Elgin watches, shiny gold belt buckles and no telling what next. Last night, the team was feted by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, and after dinner, a local merchant presented each of the 11 members of the team with a windbreaker jacket. Oh yes, and I forgot to mention the little silver basketballs that hang from their key or watch chains. Boy, if they don't look like a jewelry store on hoof, I'll eat June Storey's cowboy hat.
Baseballs are really in the air nowadays. The intramural teams are beginning to buckle down and get back into the competitive mood for the coming softball season. In some of the intramural games yesterday, it looked as if some of the pitchers are going to be "red hot" this season. Harwood, moundsman for the Galloping Dominoes looked like an ace when he pitched a one-hit game over the Warriors, to win 6-0.
Southwestern Stars Turn to Kansas Relays
The stars of Saturday's Texas Relays are now turning their attention to the Kansas Relays, April 20, is the word brought back from Austin, by Bill Hargiss, University of Kansas track coach.
The majority of the Southwestern track and field aces who competed in the Texas Relays are planning to make the trip to Lawrence, Hargiss reports. Here they will clash with stars from other sections of the country.
Leading the parade of Southwestern schools will be the strong teams of Texas University and North Texas State. Both teams will be out to duplicate the fine showings they made here last year.
Two of the defending Relays champions wear Texas U. colors. "Beefus" Bryan, twice a record breaker in the pole vault, will see if he can make a clean sweep of it, by shattering his own mark again this year. The pole vault record now stands at 14 feet 2 inches. Bryan won the Texas Relays championship for the third time Saturday.
Jack Hughes, big Texas discus thrower, won his event for the second straight year at Austin, and hopes to make his Kansas Relays record read the same after April 20. He won handily here last year.
The Longhorns' star high hurdler, Boyce Gatewood, had no opportunity to demonstrate his prowess on his home field Saturday, as he was disqualified for two false stars. However, the fleet Texan will rank as the favorite in a crack field here.
In addition to strong representation in the individual events, Texas boasts three crack relay teams. The quarter-mile, half-mile and one mile relay teams all placed high Saturday.
North Texas State won high honors at Austin Saturday, taking first in three events, second in another and third in two more. Coach "Choc" Sportsman's sophomore sprint sensation, little Welby Williams, won the 100-yard dash. Another North Texas sophomore, Mikeska, heaved the javelin out past the 200 foot mark to take that event and the 880-yard relay team set a new record in its event.
set a new record in the Eagles' mile relay team finished second in the college class race. Hicks of North Texas was third in the 100-yard dash and the quarter mile relay team also captured a third.
Howard Payne College, the alma mater of Gwinn Henry, director of the Kansas Relays, probably will send a team here this year. Howard Payne's mile relay team was the winner of that race in the college class Saturday and their hurdling star, Pete Owens, won the 120-yard pete hurdles.
yard high maintenance Oklahoma A. and Oklahoma A. and M., two teams which always go well here, turned in outstanding performances at Texas. The Sooners' sprint relay team, which won the 440 and 880-yard relays here last year, captured those two events at Austin in fast time.
Oklahoma's time of 1:26.7 in the half-mile relay was particularly impressive in view of the weather conditions. The Sooners' team in the sprint medley relay took second and Tone of O.U. was third in the pole vault.
A. and M.'s best showings were in the four-mile relay and the high jump. Forrest Efaw, veteran distance star, anchored the four-mile relay team to victory. Don Boydston, the Cowboys' high jumping sensation, leaped 6 feet $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ inches to tie for first in his event despite an injury to his leg. A. and M. also got a second in the distance medley.

Golf, Tennis Teams Meet K.C.U. Today
The University of Kansas golf and tennis teams are opening their spring season this afternoon with the University of Kansas City teams at Lawrence.
Dean Ritchie and Roderick Wakeland, only returning lettermen from last year's Big Six golf champions, form the nucleus of this year's squad. William McClhenny and William M. Gray are the other two men chosen by Coach William H. Shannon from his squad of nine to represent Kansas this afternoon at the Lawrence Country Club.
Ritchie, number one man on the golf team and this year's captain, is present Kansas State Amateur Champion and should be one of the foremost defenders of the Big Six crown won last year.
Howard Engleman, Kernit Franks, and Jack Floyd are playing the singles tennis matches this afternoon on the courts southwest of the stadium. Two doubles teams, Conrad Voelker - Charles Snyder and Bob Minor-Warren Shupe, oppose the University of Kansas City net men in the doubles games.
Engleman and Franks are returning lettermen from last year's squad. Engleman played the number one position last year and is slated for the same spot on this year's team.
"Dutch" Uhrahla has charge of the Jayhawk netm this year.
Following the matches this afternoon with the University of Kansas City net and linkmen, the Jayhawk golf and tennis teams will play host to Washburn University of Topeka, April 17.

Track Team Limbers Up For Relays
Back on their own soil again, the Jayhawker trackmen are rubbing the rain from Texas skies from their eyes and are beginning to limber up for the Kansas Relays. April 20
With only 10 days to go, the tracksters have't much time to get in practice, and so they are settling down to a stiff workout every afternoon.
The team has a number of good runners, including dash men, quarter and half milers, and until the upset of Captain Ray Harris, it had an equally good mile and two miler.
After straining himself to finish second at the Texas Relays, it may some time before he can run profitably for the K.U. team again. For the past two days, he has had his shoe taped to his foot and has attempted to trot around the stadium horseshoe, but the result, was a slow, painful limp.
Don Thompson, sensational miler and half-miler, is one of the few men who has not been stricken with injuries this year. Every time he runs, he turns in a good performance, and in a relay, invariably gives the next runner a lead on the rest of the teams. He is becoming famous for his last fifty-yard sprint which is almost unparalleled in western competition.
Running along with Thompson, is Dick Edwards, a lean blond who will bear watching in the Relays a week from Saturday.
Bill Bevan and J. R. Jones last night took over the runways and lid some strenuous, routine work. Bevan consistently vaulted 12 feet and better, while Jones had little trouble in leaping out 21 to 22 feet, and did better when he felt the urge.
Diminutive Darrell Mathes speed around and around the track in 100 and 220 yard dashes. Spectators commented on his quick take-off, his form, and his speed in general. It looks as though Kansas would have an able defendant for these two races the 20th.
And still the weight men have not turned out as Coach Bill Hargiss would like to have them. Both the discuss and shut-puts lie idle in the check room except for occasional limbering-up exercises by team members.
From all the huskies in K.U., it seems unbelievable not to have a single man wanting to enter these two events. The baseball and football squads eliminate a great many of the possibilities, however.
The javelin throwers, namely, Carty Dawes and Alfred Arky, show up every afternoon to try and conquer the "Finnish style" of tossing the spear. Coach Hargiss is pleased with the results one night and disappointed the next. Tosses of 170 feet encourage him to think he may turn out a 200-foot thrower in a week or two, and poor form the next evening disappoints him into wondering.
The low and high hurdles are left unused, (with the exception of a flock of high schoolers), and the high jump standards have produced only minor results by their call for jumpers.
Naismith Field House Discussed
Dr. F. C. Allen and the members of his victorious basketball team collected gifts like a member of the Salvation Army last night at a banquet given by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Wrist watches, jackets, and a list of the boys that were recommended for letters were presented.
Dear Nesmith, varsity trainer and E. J. Falkenstein, athletic department secretary, were also given wrist watches.
Besides the Kansas basketball squad and about 00 Lawrence citizens, the Wyandotte high school cage team from Kansas City, Kansas, was present at the banquet.
Paul Endacott, president of the K.U. Alumni association, was the principal speaker at the banquet. Coach Allen also said a few words.
Allen mentioned plans for a Dr. James Naismith field house for the University. The Kansas coach compared this fighting basketball team of 1940 to the midget football squad of 1920, that tied Nebraska 20 to 20, with a brilliant last half rally and which was largely responsible for the building of the Memorial Stadium.
"The spirit of that team," Allen said, "was what warmed up the fans and alumni to the idea of building a stadium. This year's basketball team is of the same type."
"Conceded only an outside chance to go places in its own conference, Kansas surprised everyone with its will to win, therefore it wound up second in the nation," continued Allen.
"This is the type of a team that the fans like. The time is ripe to start work on the memorial for Dr. Naismith."
There has been discussion for some time now, to erect a field house on the campus in honor of the founder of the game of basketball, who spent so many years of his life serving the University.

The Sig Alph's had little trouble downing the Phi Gams, 11-3, with Hall on the mound. The Phi Gams had several pitchers throughout the contest, but could not stop the Alphs. In the other two games, the Hillside Club entered the won column by defeating the Oread Boys, 16-4. In a "seesaw" battle, Triangle won over Kappa Eta Kappa 25-19. Although they scored seven runs in the last inning, Kappa Eta Kappa could not overcome Triangles lead.

Little Man, What Now?
The tragedies of Denmark and Norway bring home stronger than ever the dread realization that no small nation, no matter how neutral or how inoffensive, can survive in this war whose ravaging flames reach ever outward.
Tiny Denmark offered little threat to the Reich. Its only sins were the butter and bacon she sold to England. Possibly these exports were not entirely essential to the British war economy, but they were the life blood of the Danes. From overseas came feed for the livestock of Denmark. With Germany in control, Britain's blockade will no longer permit food for Danish cows and pigs. A few million Danes will suffer a strangulated economy—perhaps starvation, for Germany can aid them little even if she were so inclined.
Norway is a small nation, neutral in every respect. Her large merchant marine has served the British well. Territorial waters helped Nazi freighters slip through the British blockade. But with British invasion of her neutral waters came German invasion. A Finnish news agency, unintentionally sarcastic perhaps, reported yesterday, "Norway is at war with Germany and Great Britain." Germans on land and Englishmen on the sea. What a fate!
Sweden, too, will fall prey to the warring nations. Her rich iron ore is essential to Nazi foundries. Swedish shipping cargoes are important to England. Both Germany and the Allies are trying to cut each other's throats, but Sweden has possibilities of greater blood shed.
None of these developments came as a surprise. The fates of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Finland, all served as a grim omen. Half-hearted, futile attempts were made to save them. They are past saving for the present.
Only until the forces of war, conquest, and hatred have subsided can there be restoration. That restoration will require the herculean efforts of a great nation kept strong in peace.

Wanted: New Pilots For the G.O.P.
If the Republican senators who led the fight against the extension of the Hull reciprocal trade agreement program think they have a campaign issue for the G.O.P., then they either underestimate the intelligence of the voters, or they are still the well-meaning but ignorant leaders who have kept their party in the dumps for many years.
One of the senators believes the reciprocal agreement will make a nice issue in the Middle West. The agrarian states may be turning toward the conservativism of the Republicans, but they have yet to go reactionary. That cash farm income has been increased appreciably since 1934 and stands to increase still more is a well known fact. It cannot be shouted down as juggled New Deal statistics. The Hull program helped this price tendency.
Do these miguided sena-tories think the farm groups will fall for their suggestions to fight these agreements? Two of the strongest groups, the Farm Bureau and the Farmer's Union, have already approved the Hull plan. Agreements approved by the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, and State will also
play a large part in promoting and framing trade agreements.
Few newspapers whose editors form their opinions from reason and not from self interest would support an attack on the prescnt trade agreement program. From the Kansas City Star to the New York Times, almost every one has applauded Hull's trade agreements as a great step toward economic sanity and world peace.
A history of their own party should serve these Republicans as a lesson. Since the war, G.O.P. worthies such as Henry L. Stimson, Colonel Frank Knox, the late Ogden Mills have taken a low tariff position. The defeat in 1892 was chiefly due to the Tariff Act of 1890. The Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909 helped put the skids to Taft in 1912; in 1932 Democrats capitalized on the Smoot-Hawley Act. At the moment when Republican leadership could contribute so much to the country, this is certainly a dangerous time for such history to be repeating itself.
Republicans such as the twenty senators at whom the common-sensical Alf Landon tossed his sharp barb in his recent speech are the trouble makers. With their almost pathological affection for tariff embargoes, such politicians are off the beam, flying blind and upside down. And it's best someone take the controls out of their hands before the whole G.O.P. smashes up.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By Marilyn McBride
The sight of Aunty Mae West shooting a brace of pistols from a moving train at a band of cigar-store Indians was something to cheer a jaded audience's heart. W.C. Fields twanged off such nuggets as: "Let's toddle down to the local gin mill and absorb a beaker of firewater." This pair have assumed the sanctity of an orchid at the South Fole . . they are unique.
★
Spotlights on a green field, shiny boots, clank of machine gum, swift movement of horses ridden by bronze soldiers . . . that was the picture at the Federal inspection of Haskell's cavalry troop. Granted that in 1940 war is nothing to be sentimental about, but a mechanized cavalry unit of gasoline-chewers and an over-all clad colonel lacks the verve of the regular cavalry with horses and men moving in unison.

Once more a jittery world has nervous indigestion along with breakfast as the newspapers go screaming on a fresh scent leaving yesterday's rehash and propaganda mirages for a stream of bulletins from Scandinavia. Say the Germans: "We are protecting these countries against the aggressions of the Allies." Say the English: "Violation of neutrality." Said Roosevelt: "These events will make the people think of the potentialities of this war."

The Sig Alph's staged their annual "bust" at State Lake without a mishap. After the return to the house two of the brothers engaged in a pillow fight and two of the brothers have black eyes. Jake Wyatt applied the traditional beefsteak to his eye, went to sleep, and woke to find the Annex cat eating the steak. Bill Belt says a pillow fight beats the old bromide about running into a door.
The Scabbard and Blade pledges have been brightening the campus with their pre-initiation farce. The infantrymen with their little red swords, and the coast artillery with their little red wagon. On the wagon was a little cannon made of stovepipe which became flat after a firecracker was fired in it; resourceful pledges made a new cannon of gaspipe and a piece of trench-mortar.

Display Greek Prints In Spooner-Thayer
This exhibition is from the extension division of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and includes prints and photographs of statuary, bas reliefs and Greek buildings.
A collection of 40 prints displaying Greek athletics and festivals is on exhibition in the Oriental room of Spooner-Thayer museum. This collection dates from the fifth century B.C. and represents the height of Greek athletics. At this period, the vase painter turned to the youthful athlete, whom he saw daily, for inspiration.
The outstanding etchings from the museum's large collection of prints is on display in the print room. Included in this group are prints by such well known print masters as Rembrandt, Whistler, and Durer.
Prints may be of two kinds, line or tone expressions. Etchings fall into the first classification and are made by an acid which cuts into a copper plate covered with wax. The line produced from this type of work is clean and fine. The word etching comes from the Dutch word 'etsen' meaning to eat.
Hill Arteries
Add Another 200 Feet To Campus Tunnels
The recently completed steam tunnel between the Thayer Museum and the men's dormitory has added another 200 feet to the artery-like tunnel system under the campus, which, if lined out would be approximately a mile and a third long, according to Art Whitney, steamfitter foreman.
All but a few of the passage ways are high enough to allow workmen to walk through them erect. They measure six feet high, and four feet wide. There are a few branches, however, that are only three feet wide and three high.
Running through the tunnel are two eight inch supply lines, and one
four inch return line. A 2 1-2 inch high-pressure line carries 85 pounds of steam to the cooking equipment of the cafeteria in the Memorial Union building. The main lines carry only about 22 pounds of pressure.
Mr. Whitney and two helpers are responsible for the radiators in all the buildings, and all the steam piping after it leaves the power house. As a matter of routine they are supposed to go through the tunnels once each week to check the pipes for leaks and disorders.

After talking to the student for 45 minutes the naive P.S.G.L. lad returned to headquarters enthused about the new worker he had found for the P.S.G.L. polls.

British Lose Two Warships In Sea Battle
London, April 10—(UP) The Admiralty announced today that British destroyers had attacked German forces at Narvik, Norway, at dawn today against strong opposition, that the Hunter had been sunk and the Hardy grounded and that the remainder of the British warships had withdrawn.
German losses were not ascertained the Admiralty said. Stockholm reported without confirmation, it was added, that a German cruiser had been sunk.
The Admiralty asserted that a British submarine had torpedoed a German cruiser off the southern Norwegian coast last night and that it was believed the cruiser had been sunk.
Royal Air force bombing planes attacked an enemy cruiser off Bergen last night, the Admiralty said, and scored one hit.
Fleet air bombers attacked a German cruiser at Bergen this morning and hit it three times, it was said.
The Admiralty communique said:
"British destroyers attacked enemy forces in Narvik at dawn today and encountered strong opposition.
"His Majesty's ship Hunter (destroyer, 1,340 tons) was sand and His Majesty's ship Hardy (destroyer flotilla leader, 1,505 tons) ran ashore. The remainder withdrew.
"No details of casualties in these ships are yet available but a complete list will be published as soon as possible and next of kin may be assured that they will be informed by telegram without delay."
Germans May Go Through Sweden
The Manchester Guardian's naval correspondent said that in sea warfare it was axiomatic that overseas operations cannot be prosecuted successfully without established command of the seas.
London, April 10—(UP) The Allied air and naval challenge of Germany's occupation of Norway may emboil Sweden in war by forcing the Germans to seek a secure route to their Norwegian positions through South Sweden, some observers believed today.
Taking stock of Germany's conquest of Denmark and her invasion of Norway, British observers expressed belief that the Allies must act swiftly and effectively to redress the balance, which now appeared unfavorable.
The new situation was reviewed as the war cabinet met at 10 Downing street, the prime minister's official residence, and as Norwegian Minister Eric Colban conferred with Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax. Later Halifax presided over the second meeting of the British envoy to the Balkans who now are in London for important conferences. The meeting was attended, as it was yesterday, by Sir Percy Loraine and Sir William Seeds, ambassadors to Rome and Moscow, respectively.
Chief interest centered in the implications of German moves in north.
"German sea communications across the Skagerrank indeed are so brittle that it seems inevitable that the Germans will look for a more secure route and that is offered through South Sweden," the Manchester Guardian said.
President to Extend Neutrality Provisions
Washington, April 10.—(UP) President Roosevelt, taking charge of American problems created by Germany's invasion of Scandinavia, waited for later official reports from Europe today before extending the provisions of the Neutrality act to Norway and the "combat areas" to northern Norwegian waters.
The President and the State department were hampered in making decisions by almost complete absences of official dispatches from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Mr. Roosevelt had indicated that he would issue the necessary proclamations last night. But delay, at least until today, was announced after he conferred with his foreign affairs advisers upon his arrival from Hyde Park.
Some quarters believed the proclamations might be issued today; others said that State department officials were urging the President to delay them until the outcome of the reported naval battle off the Norwegian coast has been ascertained.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Cordell Hull revealed that several high State department officials were devoting most of their time to consideration of the safety of more than 3,000 Americans in Scandinavia. Press reports of air raids in Norway increased official anxiety. Officials of the State and Navy departments, and the Maritime commission are studying ways

Air Corps Officers To Examine Students For U.S. Air Service
Seniors and graduates with a longing to become pilots, or to get into the army, or both, will have their chance April 22, when a board of air corps officers will arrive in Lawrence to examine potential flying cadets for Uncle Sam's air corps, it was announced today.
This opportunity to acquire military wings is restricted to men between the ages of 20 and 26. Cadets will undergo training in civil flying schools, followed by advanced instruction at army air posts.
Ingrid Gets Wire From War Zone No Trip Home For Her
Ingrid Frestadius, Swedish exchange student, received a cablegram from her parents in Stockholm, Sweden, last night. The cablegram told Ingrid not to entertain any ideas at all about returning home until next fall. It further said that her father had already booked passage on an Italian steamer to Naples, September 15. The cablegram ended with "Don't worry."
Ingrid is naturally upset about the present situation in the Scandinavian countries. She says that the situation is "very grave" and that the war over there is similar to the position that Kansas would be in if there were a war in Missouri.
Miss Frestadius says that she feels as though the Norwegians are her own people because "they understand my language and I understand theirs." When Ingrid came to this country, she was booked on a Norwegian steamer and spent a week in Norway before coming to America. She has many friends in Norway.
"It all seems so far away and remote to you that you can hardly realize the situation, but it is my home land and I feel it so deeply."
Ingrid is very proud of the fact that her country has been neutral since the beginning of the nineteenth century and has only been under dictatorship once since 1600. We want to be like you and have trade with anybody that we want to."
Ingrid doesn't believe that Sweden if under pressure, would give in as did the other Scandinavian countries. At least, she said that she hoped they wouldn't. Her country has always
been friends with the German people because of "close racial, cultural, and business relations."
"You know that our country was more friendly to the Germans in the last war but the situation is changed now. Our people have no sympathy for the Germans and their ties with the allies are pretty strong."
Ingrid is very much concerned about the shipping of her country since the Norwegian shipping has been cut off. She is afraid that Norway is in danger of starvation because it is such a poor agriculture country. Also, Germany needs iron from Sweden and it will be up to the Germans themselves about getting the iron since Swedish shipping has to go through Norway.

Webb Miller Sees Doom For Hitler
By Webb Milier
London, April 11—(UP) One of the big sea battles of modern history went into its third day as the British struck at the core of German naval power and sought to turn Adolf Hitler's Scandinavian gamble into a disastrous trap.
The battle created a possibility, it was suggested here, that a British success may bring Sweden into the war if it should lead to a German ultimatum for use of Sweden's railroads to supply and reinforce Germany's expeditionary force in Norway, but the Swedes were making every effort to avoid such a fate. Bodies Strewn In Sea
More men may have lost their lives in the last three days than during the entire seven months of the western war up to this week, except in Poland.
Already hundreds of bodies are reported strewn in icy waters and along the rocky beaches of the 1,200-mile coast from the Kattegat to Narvik above the Arctic circle.
The most brilliant feat of the British was in forcing passage through the Skagerrak to the mouth of the Kattegat, naval sources here

Down Town Show Window Goes Collegiate
Hill ambassadors of good will to the city of Lawrence is what you might call Messrs. Kandt, Koger, and Loewen.
On the other hand, you might not call them that. It's only out of good will that these three University men do the best they can to improve relations between the Hill and the business men down in Ober's clothing store.
TUXEDO
They find that maintaining those good relations is a good way to put themselves through school.
Best maneuver in recent weeks to bring the students and the downtown closer together is a little show the trio is putting on in Ober's window.
Bill Kandt, 141, conceived the idea, or rather, the ideas, since Ober's store has eight windows and Kandt designed all of them. Kandt wanted to connect a display of brand new clothing with the University and thought he had a novel way of doing it.
So he took his idea to Roland Loewen, c'41, who depends on photography for his way through school. Loewen went to work and took eight
shots of Hill spots as his part of the barain.
Kandt sent the eight scenic shots off to a photographic concern and
had them all "blown up" to 60 incl by 36 inch dimensions. Then, arranging his display in the usual Kandt manner, he topped off the
whole thing by placing these photographic murals as background scenes for the college clothing.
The result was just what he desired, as can be seen from the picture just above. With the Hill scenes as backdrops, Kandt succeeded in putting the glad rags in their appropriate setting—right along with the University theme.
Kandt plans to have eight more such pictures made in the future. When he has finished with all of them they will be mounted on Ober walls to serve as interior decorations.
But the third man in the picture
But the third man in the picture —Ed Koger, fa'42. While he has no hand in the preparation of the displays, much of their success depends on him. It is his job to write ads for Ober's which will call attention to the novelties in the window.
There it is. If you happen by Ober's window and think the display one of the best you've seen, remember that University men did the whole thing.

This will be a season for old fashioned frills and flowers. You'll be right in line with a whole garden of porcelena pansies in fragile colors. Clip one at your neck or wear them in clusters on a chain around your wrist.
In the eighteenth century an elegant snuff box marked a man as a dandy. They've turned the old snuff box into a compact and left the dandy air.

New Disney Star A Laugh-Maker In 'Pinocchio'
The animation unit responsible for the anties of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's "Pinocchio" probably managed to wedge in more laughs with its job than the other artists on the picture.
Whenever one of the artists was stuck on how to create some bit of action for Jiminy, one of his willing co-workers immediately dived into an impromptu cricket costume which was assembled for just such purposes. The costume consisted of a pair of old white oxfords, about size 12, a plaid skirt, and a battered old pearl grey fedora hat.
The "model" put the shoes on over his regular footgear, put on the shirt and made it into a tail coat by tucking in the front but not the back, and then donned the old "topper." His actions and costume generally straightened out his fellow artist's problem.
Jiminy Cricket, probably the tiniest actor ever seen on a screen, has one of the biggest roles in this second Disney full-length Technicolor production.

Wear an Original Spring Corsage But Keep the 'Stems Down'
This spring no wardrobe is going to be complete without that accent that can always aid and abet your good grooming—flowers! Never we seen so many possibilities for their use in perking up your clothes, your hairdo, or your accessories.
First of all, wear your flowers correctly. The corsage may be worn on either shoulder, but is usually worn on the left, except at a ball. Always wear stems and ribbons down. Don't feel that you have to have half a dozen gardenias. You want delicacy and distinction, not such a bunch that it will look pretentious and overpowering.
For evening, gardenias or orchids are in the best of taste. Why not try a novel effect with flowers in your hair? We suggest one huge gardenia in your tresses; or daisies, which are best worn with tailored dinner or afternoon dresses. If you would like to do something different with your coiffure, try dangling a single tiny violet from a forehead curl!
Our idea of a gay costume accent is the necklace and ring or bracelet set that a florist can fix with any kind of spring flowers you choose. He simply arranges the flowers on chains or ribbons to match or contrast with your ensemble.
Boutonnières are poular now for wear on spring suits and dress lapels. Carnations, violets, or dimesize marigolds make the best button hole boquets. American designer Elizabeth Day has created a clever and inexpensive clip that holds flowers securely on the lapel, in the hair, or on the evening bag.
The trend is away from conservatism. If you would be an individual, you can get away from mass conformity by wearing one of those vegetable corsages—onions, carrots, and radishes in crisp lettuce leaves.
Be correct, but use your imagination and originality!

100 Turn Out For Lecture On Employment
Using many anecdotes of his 20 year's experience with Hall Brothers, Mr. Stevenson emphasized two features of the employment problem: how to get an employment interview, and how to advance after the job is landed.
"If you had your choice of any job in the United States, which one would you choose?" This was the question asked by Charles S. Stevenson, general manager of Hall Brothers, to the 100 students who gathered in Frank Strong auditorium last night to hear him speak on the topic, "Your Employer, What Will He Want?"
Mr. Stevenson went on to explain that less than two per cent of the 75,000 persons he has interviewed has been able to answer that question concisely. He admonished each member of the group to have an answer for it before he begins job-hunting.
The lecture was the second of a series of three employment forums sponsored by the senior class of '40 and the Alumni Association.

(Continued from page one) believed. Should the British warships prove able to maintain their positions there the German forces in Norway would be cut off by sea from their German and Danish bases.
In that event, the British said it was likely an immediate ultimatum would go from Germany to Sweden because the Swedish railways would remain the only line open by which Germany could attempt to maintain her widely scattered forces in Norway.
Suffers Grave Blow
Already the German navy and merchant marine is believed to have suffered a grave blow and, whatever the outcome, its effectiveness has been diminished.
Confirmed figures of Nazi losses thus far show 52,000 tons of warships and armed merchantmen sunk and 32,000 tons damaged or sunk.
Unlike the battle of Jutland which was indecisive in that it left most of the German fleet intact for the duration of the war, the present Scandanavian engagement seems destined to weaken German sea power sufficiently to effect the future course of the war.
The mountains along the Skagerrak and the entrance to the Kattegat echoed with intense gunfire that rattled window panes and indicated the intensity of the battle.
Hundreds Of Planes
Estimates of the vessels engaged in the battles ranged as high as 150 for Allied ships of various types and 100 for the Germans. In addition hundreds of airplanes—more than have ever before engaged in sea warfare—fought overhead.
Even on the basis of reports which were necessarily fragmentary because the British warships were unable to report by wireless for fear of disclosing their positions the British press and public had its first real burst of enthusiasm of the war. The only comparable thrill came with the news of the Graf Spee battle off Montevideo.
Military circles believe that Norwegian resistance will prove substantial. They cited the Norwegian

Jayhawks Win Opener 13-4
Kresie Tames Hawks With Seven Hits
Bv Bob Trump, c'42
Disregarding the cold wind which whistled through a nearly packed grandstand yesterday afternoon, the Kansas Jayhawks loaded their bats with dynamite and blew the lid off the 1940 baseball season with an impressive 13 to 4 victory over the Rockhurt Hawks.
The Jayhawk basehit barrage was as unnecessary as it was impressive because Knute Kresie, the righthander who has proved to be the ace of the Kansas pitching staff so far this spring, kept the Hawks under control at all times. Seven hits constituted the sum and substance of the enemy attack, and most of these came in the late innings, when the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt.
Kansas' batting attack rumbled in the first inning for two runs, and then in the second it exploded all over Coach Frank Hood's starting hurler, "Sugar" Cain, for nine more. Kraemer's first inning double, Cameron's single, and Sands' infield hit sent the Kansans away to a two-run lead.
Nine Runs In Second
Nine Runs In Second
Then, in the big second, the Jayhawks hit and ran until the game was safely tucked away and it was only a question of going through the motions for the last seven innings. Napier touched off the rally when he beat a bunt to Cain. Merkel and Kresie followed with singles scoring Napier, and Cain walker Kraemer to fill the bases. Not content with this, the Hawk pitcher walked Cameron, forcing in Merkel.
That was all for Cain, and Sturges replaced him on the mound for Rockhurst. The new hurler immediately set out to improve on his predecessor's performance, and before the inning was over, Hensley, Cadwalader, Napier, and Kraemer had walked, Sands had singled, and Merkel had smashed a double into the unprotected spot between right and center field. Nine runs were over, and the scoreboard showed an 11 run lead for the Jayhawks. Snool Shutout Hopes
The Hawks finally scored a run in the sixth and spoiled his hopes for a shutout. Drastin walked. Then, Jensen's grounder took a bad bounce to shortstop Napier, and the runner was safe at first. Howard
Meanwhile, Kresie was baffling the Hawks with almost perfect control. Combs singled with one out in the first inning, and Sanderson doubled with two away in the second, but on both occasions, the Kansan bore down and retired the side on pop flies to the infield. He set the Hawks down in order in the third and fourth, and a fast double play, Kraemer to Napier to Sands, saved him from embarrassment in the fifth.

Rideout Twins Back To Oppose Cunningham
The colorful Rideout twins from North Texas State will be two of Glenn Cunningham's opponents in the invitation mile run at the Kansas Relays, April 20, it was announced today by Gwinn Henry, director of the Relays.
The Rideouts, Wayne and Blaine, are two of the nation's finest middle distance runners. Wayne turned in the best performance of his career by setting a new world record in the three-quarter mile run at the Princeton invitational meet in 1939.
High spot of Blaine's brilliant career came last July when the North Texas star beat Cunningham, Fenske, Zimmerpi and all of the other mile stars at the National A.A.U. meet to win the championship in the 1500 meter run, the metric mile.
Wayne's exceptional speed at the three-quarter mile distance helped North Texas State-set a new world record in the distance medley relay of 9:59.4 in 1938.
The three-quarter mile is a race
The past two years, the Rideout twins have competed in the Relays and have enjoyed a popularity with the crowd which few other runners have ever achieved here. The bespectacled Rideouts have quite a following.
which is not run very often, but is a highly important leg in the distance medley relay. With Wayne running that distance and Blaine the mile, North Texas was sensational in this event.
Last year sa wite twins at their best. In the college distance medley relay, the Rideouts poured it on and North Texas roared to a smashing new record. Their time of 10:06.9 was 17 second faster than the old college class record for the distance medley and six seconds faster than the mark in the university class.
Then, to show their versatility, the Rideouts ran in the mile relay. Wayne and Blaine ran the last two legs on the relay and turned in brilliant quarter-miles to carry North Texas to victory.

Well, yesterday was almost a sweep for Kansas in the leadoff of our spring sports. The Jayhawker teams won two of their three events yesterday, golf and baseball.
Knute Kresie pitched the whole nine innings yesterday afternoon when the K.U. baseball team defeated the Rockhurst Hawks 13 to 4. A nine run rally in the second inning really put the Jayhawkers in speaking position. A few notes hither and thither around the diamond . . . Monte Merkel's headlong slide into second base in the second inning, after he cracked his double was quite amusing to the fans . . . a nice little group of baseball fans watched the game for awhile until the cold north winds drove them to cover . . . Fans were also amused when Sturges, the Hawks' second pitcher, threw a ball and the umpire called it "ball three." The visiting pitcher walked half way up to the umpire behind the plate and yelled, "what in the h— do you want for a strike."
Golf . . . Rod Wakeland, a member of last year's golf team was medalist in the golf matches yesterday against Kansas City University when he clipped off a 75 on the Lawrence Country Club course. Dean Ritchie was the next Kansas with an 81, McElheny followed Ritchie shooting an 83, and Bill Gray took high honors for the Jayhawker golfers by shooting an 89 . . . Prize of the day was that Gray's opponent shot a 106, so I guess Bill didn't look so bad after all . . . Any team that can win a match 17 to 1, must have possibilities.
THAT MAN AGAIN is none other than Ralph Miller, who is now out for track under the instruction of Coach Bill Hargiss. Miller, who has starred for the Jayhawks in football and basketball, will try to make it a trio, when he participates in the cinder events . . . "Cappy" will run the high hurdles, and maybe he will try to whip himself back into pole vaulting form if he thinks that his bad knee can stand it. The former Chanute flash competed in the high and low hurdles, pole vault, and shot put while in high school . . .
Track Team Strengthened By R. Miller
As is usual with Ralph Miller, he strengthens the group which he is in. After adding his assistance to the football and basketball teams quite brilliantly, he is now on the track squad, flying over the high hurdles.
The place that Coach Hargiss has been hoping would be filled is now occupied. The only catch is Ralph's catch-knee. Hampered by Injury
Hampered by this injury since his first year on the Hill, Miller has been active in athletics only intermittently. But now that basketball is finished for another season, he has turned out for track with full expectancy of competing in the meets. Miller was a star in track in high school, being equally well apt in the hurdles, pole vault, and as a runner.
Jack O'Hara, another man ranking with Bill Beven when in top form, has for the past three weeks been unable to hit his stride in the pole vault. Downcast with heavily-knit brows, O'Hara refuses to admit any defeat and is making his comeback.
Last night he said he could "vault 12 feet most any time he wanted to." He cleared the bar at 12 feet 6 inches in the dual meet with Kansas State, the second indoor meet for K.U. held in March.
Harsh, sharp winds have made track work difficult the last three nights. The vaulters, runners, broad-jumpers, and javelin throwers must all face with the wind to accomplish anything of note.
Cunningham Works Out
Adding zip to last evening's workout, Glenn Cunningham came down to the track for about 30 minutes yesterday afternoon and trained for the Kansas Relays. As a completion to his work, he took on K.U.'s three best milers, Dick Edwards, Don Thompson, and Joe Ryan. (Ray Harris was unable to run because of an injured foot.)
Herb Hartman will get in on the end of the track season in about two more weeks, when he will toss the shot for K.U.

Golfers Win; Netmen Lose Against K.C.U.
The University of Kansas, defending Big Six champions, continued their winning ways from last year, and swamped the University of Kansas City linkmen, 17 to 1, yesterday afternoon on the Lawrence Country Club course.

Howard Engleman, number one man on the tennis team, defeated Wulfekuhler, K.C.U., in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, and Floyd, Jayhawk number three man, won over Robinson, 5-7, 6-1, 6-3, to give Kansas the two victories in their tennis matches southwest of the stadium.

Although the Kansas attack had relaxed after the busy second inning it picked up two more runs in the fifth to boost the day's total to 13. The Hawks clicked for two runs in the eighth and one more in the ninth, but Kresie, who had been coating along through the later innings, decided that things had gone far enough and struck out the last Rockhurst batter to end the game.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
Martin Dies: Thespian
"Yes," the witness agreed, "and sometimes you have to give ridiculous answers to ridiculous people." Mr. Dies' gavel saved his committeeman by the bell.
Representative Martin Dies and the Committee Investigating Un-American Activities have by this time exceeded "Tobacco Road" in the number of consecutive performances—before appreciative audiences, as the critics say and are now eligible for whatever prize drama critic George Jean Nathan et al wish to confer.
"Well, it's sometimes necessary to ask ridiculous people ridiculous questions," Representative Dempsey of New Mexico said.
This same gavel and citations for contempt have greatly lessened the cry of "Touche!" in recent verbal duels, and the action has become less bloody. Yet somehow the gavel and the writ do not seem quite sporting. A return should be made to the former Texas rules. Mr. Dies owes it to his public.
Asked whether he agreed with everything Earl Browder, American Communist party secretary, advocated ,a witness replied,"That's a ridiculous question."
Lately, however, a noticeable let-down has been apparent on the part of the show's stars, Representative Dies and Dr. J. B. Matthews, committee research counsel. The dialogue no longer is effervescent, sparkling with charge and counter-charge, and Mr. Dies has become grumpy. Time was when the gentleman from Texas recognized no equal in the art of repartee, bon mot, and ad lib. In one scene, for example, the following interplay occurred:

YOU SAID IT
NYA CHAMPION
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following letter relating to the NYA program was written by Representative Guyer of the second district to a graduate student of the University. At the student's request we are publishing it.
Dear Sir:
I have yours of the 1st expressing your views with regard to the NYA program, and replying have to advise that it was my pleasure when this appropriation was before the House to vote for an increase of $85,000,000, which places the figure as the bill leaves the House at $2,300,000 above the appropriation for the current fiscal year.
circuit. I am not convinced that the fundamental principles of the NYA is desirable, any more than are many of the other activities for which the present Administration is spending money, for it is merely treating a symptom of our economic disorder which is in need of attention. The ideal for which I would strive would be balanced economy in which each individual in his own way, so long as he did not trespass the rights of others, could by his own efforts realize the privileges of education, the comforts of adequate housing, food and clothing, and a realization of his ambitions and aspirations. Until that ideal is attained, however, we must treat the existing symptoms of the disorder in which ourselves. I have supported the NYA treatment because it gives youth a sound opportunity to pursue its education to some good citizens instead of turning it loose to congregate in hoodium gangs from which it graduates into a career of crime. I feel that it is a better investment, until we can remedy the cause of the disorder, to take care of those symptoms needing attention—the care of our youth—than it is to let it become chronic by permitting them to become contributors to the high cost of crime in this country.
Sincerely yours,
U. S. GUYER.
WHOOPSIE DOODLE—Editor Daily Kansan;
Another innocent has fallen; another cable has been hooked around the hearts of Americans, lovers of the under-dog, advocates of fair-play, justice, and democracy.
Advocates, lovers of democracy! We would fight for it; we have fought for it. We will fight for it again?
On M-Day the army takes over. It decides who shall be the killers and killed; who shall be clerk and who day-laborer; who shall be free—and who shall not. We shall be told that we can say, and' what we can not say—or print. While we are fighting for a democracy! We have some men printed the Ten Com-
ay or print. When we saw in the last carnage some men printed the Ten Commandments and distributed them; those printers went to prison. Thou shalt not kill!
And for what, may we ask, do we give up our Americanism? To save democracy, of course! To save democracy, we give up democracy. Mocking, weird delusion! We kill and are killed in the name of peace.
If you want to fight, then fight-fight for the hardest cause, in the most courageous army; fight with the soldiers who keep their heads when all around are losing theirs.
Fight to save democracy. Fight, and keep the United States free to preserve an institution which a foreign war can only lose. Save democracy—but be sure that you save it in strength and power, not in a war-wracked and spent nation, a decimated people; save it in action, not as a preserved and pickled illusion held ahead of you by those who ORDER you on.
So you do want to fight. Then stand up and say so—say that you refuse to allow your government and your compatriots to be thrown to the cannons and poison gas. Say that you will not allow YOUR hand to be used in placing them there; that you will fight—by NOT fighting.

The annual crop of tulips is sprouting in all the campus flower beds except the triangle between Green and Fraser. . . . workmen are excavating there. Rumor has it that the deepening hole is to made into a wading pool for the lawyers.

Professor Crafton sums up the movie-going public into four categories: (1) the lovers of the horse opera, the admirers of the wild western saga; (2) the wide-eyed adolescent and sub-adolescent who follow the adventures of their current hero and heroines; (3) the star-gazers who fall into three groups: (a) moon calves who adore Tyrone Power's eyesbrows; (b) the thwarted ones—these seek the amusement of compensation; (c) the bored one who acquires the movie habit through a lack of ability to amuse himself; (4) people of some intelligence who want some element of culture, taste and content in their movies—adult entertainment.
The Finns weren't the only people
in Europe who had a hard winter. The coldest winter in years has injured crops and is one of the reasons for the German blitzkrieg on Denmark. The Danes are the largest agricultural producers in Scandinavia, and Germany needs food with her cabbages and potatoes frozen in their huge storage pits, the killing of German winter wheat, and the failure of the promised Manchurian soybean crop. But you can't starve your cows and milk them, too, and when the Germans blockade Danish imports of cattle fodder the slaughter of livestock becomes inevitable which leaves the Danes with exactly nothing.
The horrors of radio listening: too many small-town announcers attempting a not-so-dramatic imitation of Boake Carter. And now comes a commentator, Shelby Stork, who chews his words just like Clark Gable, something incongruous about deah Rhett spieing off contemporanities like Skagerrak, and Scapa Flow.

Work is continuing on the restoration of exhibits in Dyche museum, with some of them nearing completion.
Dyche Mammal Exhibits Are Nearing Completion
For the past month, work has been done on the exhibit of California asphalt pits. This diorama shows the actual arrangement of fossils as they were excavated from the pits. The background shows an elephant, which is miring down in the tar pits, about to be attacked by a saber toothed tiger. When the exhibit is completed, the skeleton of the tiger as excavated from the pit will be displayed.
The Bison Occidental skeleton which was uncovered in Logan county, is to be mounted in front of a scene depicting the over-hanging rock ledge under which it was found. According to H. H. Lane, curator of the museum, the animal was one of five which was probably killed while taking shelter under the rocks from an approaching blizzard. The particular specimen is quite famous because of the arrow head found under the right shoulder blade.
The panorama of North American mammals, which occupies much of the first floor, is rapidly taking shape. These scenes represent the range of the North American continent from Kansas to Greenland. Background scenes are being painted by Sam Dickenson.
Among other exhibits on which work is progressing are those of the Phillips county rhinoceros, the sea
lizard of western Kansas, and the partheus, which is a 14-foot relative of the tarpon.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
God's white mantle came to Orad today to croak a batch of croci. And put the squitch on some long-planned steak fries.
Huck Wright listened to the radio; heard that the best letter requesting a song each week would win first prize, a diamond ring. Wright wrote a letter; requested "I've got a pocket full of dreams."
Roommate Bill Gordineire heard the program; saw the letter; put two and two together.
Schiller Shore and Gordineine manufactured a diamond ring from an old piece of glass, a beat-up setting; post marked the box, New York; planted it in Huck's mail box.
Wright grew apoplectic with excitement; rushed the ring to the jewels for appraisement.
Now he tells friends of his good fortune; says he sold the ring for $50.
Gordineire and Shore sit back complacently; listen to him blow; remember the song requested, "I've got a pocket full of dreams."
One of the better attention attracters in political propaganda: the Petty girl who thinks she can vote for Bill Farmer. "Tis said the offices of the administration have pronounced the poster vulgar.
Another silly rule: If you try to get a book on reserve at the library and it's checked out, the attendants are instructed not to give out the name of the person who has it. So if you want to know whether the student in questions plans to keep the book out all night you must stand by the desk and wait until he checks it in.
This means spending a good part the evening lying in wait for a ok.
Why don't they tell you who has the book? Then you could ask the individual what he plans to do with it.
After all, if there is that much demand for a book it must be pretty close to quiz time. And quiz time is no time to be waiting around for a book that you can't have anyhow.

Men Start Work On New Dorm
Bowlus's apartment couldn't be reached some time ago for confirmation because the telephone has been disconnected.
Workmen of the J. T. Constant construction company are excavating for the ground floor, and digging holes for the piers of the new Battenfeld dormitory on the Alumni home property.
The main entrance of the new three-story building will face the east, according to A. E. Nelson, suitointendent of the workers. The building itself will be 92 feet by 37 feet, with brick walls and slate room. No basement will be under the house. The seven rooms on the ground floor will be a dining room, sitting room, matron's room, recreation room, two storage rooms, and
a bath. At each end of the second story, which is composed of study rooms, a door opens onto a porch deck.
The third floor will have three study rooms and one big sleeping room.

SHELTON
He knew what they'd find in that old cowhide trunk
YOUNG HEIRS MIGHT BE SURPRISED—but he knew the fortune that was paid the Hawkinses when the railroad came through in '78 and how they never spent or banked a cent of it.
The old-time country editor was like that. He knew his county like the back of his hand, from the secret thoughts of the supervisors to the last thankyou-marm on a dead-end road.
He knew every man, woman, and child and their Great-Aunt Nellie who ran off with the lightning-rod agent. He knew the story of every yellow old record in the courthouse—and what the boys were laughing at in the livery stable last Sunday. He knew what chance the town had of getting that button factory, and why the parsonage would have a new tenant soon.
The people he wrote for were just as much an open book to him as the news he wrote for them. He wasn't being quaint when he put the results of the school spelldown on page one, or filled five pages with country correspondence. That was meat and drink to the folks out on the R.F.D. routes—far more important than the Boer War or even silver at 16 to 1—and he knew it.
That old-time country editor had grasp... complete, integrated understanding of all the news of his locality, and the whole of the mind for which it was written. And his formula, "the nearer the news, the bigger," was essentially the formula of all old-time journalism—in the big cities, as well as in the county seats.
But when Dewey entered Manila Bay and boys in bicycle shops began tinkering with the front ends of buggies, the old order began to pass away. The great, complex world forced itself into the affairs and thoughts of easy-going, turn-of-century America.
Economics, world politics, finance, industrial management, material resources, labor, social theory—they all began to matter somehow. They got you into wars and strikes and hard times. Science began to matter when diphtheria and t.b. were found not to be acts of God. Art began to matter when your daughter came back from Paris or Peoria calling you a Philistine.
America's mind, stretching, pushing out its horizons, called for more news...more kinds of news...news from beyond the railroad depot. And the news poured in—from the just-hatched wire services, from specialists of all kinds, from the syndicates, the feature writers, the correspondent
Soon the old one-man grasp was gone. The torrent of news was too great and too swift, its sources too many and too remote, for any one man to handle and absorb it all.
And if the editor was swamped, the reader was drowned. In self-defense, he learned to pick his way about his newspaper, snatching a bit here and a bit there, mostly according to the ingenuity of the headline-writer. Often he missed news of importance; often he failed to see what a series of day-by-day stories added up to in the end.
There was a crying need for a new experiment in journalism. A need for somebody with a national viewpoint-free from the pressure of daily and hourly deadlines—to bring the news together so that the intelligent reader could get its essentials, grasp them, make them his own.
That somebody turned out to be The Weekly Newsmagazine. With its advantage of time for reflection and discussion, the Newsmagazine made this task its single-minded purpose. It set out to do the country editor's job with a world-wide scope and on a national scale.
... To take all the week's news and make the picture make sense to the average intelligent American. To set it against a fully comprehended background. To write it vividly, compactly, forcefully ... with full appreciation of the mind for which it is intended ... with the touch of human understanding that brings people and events to moving, breathing life.
The Newsmagazine is written by experts, but never for experts. No story in TIME can go galloping off on a hobby; it must be paced firmly and smoothly to the brisk stride of the whole magazine, whether the subject is world affairs or politics, or business or finance, or medicine, religion, or the arts.
That is why TIME seems to be written by one man, who knows TIME readers as the old-time country editor knew the folks in his county. That is why the average TIME reader starts at the beginning and goes through to the end, feeling that every line gives him something that he wants and needs and can use.
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.

F. Strong Gets New Entrance
Replacement of the elaborate four way entrance on the north side of Frank Strong hall with a new and more simple front began this week as workmen started to tear down the entire archway supporting the steps
The old entrance provided a north approach to the main floor below the rotunda, but the walls of the balcony and stairway were so badly cracked that repair was impractical. A new approach will be built and a balcony will extend from the main floor corridor as before. Outside steps will not be included in the plan. The only north entrance available when work is completed will be at the basement level.
Tickets On Sale For Tibbett Here April 29
"He obliterates thought of all other baritones," were the words uttered recently by one famous critic in describing the talent of Lawrence Tibbett, scheduled to make a personal appearance here April 29.
D. M. Swarthout, manager of the University concert course, placed tickets on sale today in the Fine Arts office in the Administration building, at Bell's music store, and at the Round Corner drug store. Students of the University will be admitted on activity tickets.
Tibbett in his last trip through Europe and Australia was accepted and acclaimed. Royalty, critics, and the public joined with American critics in heaping more laurels on Tibbett, who has risen from a singing newsboy in the streets of Los Angeles to a position of fame.
The now famous baritone was penniless at the age of 25 and was forced to borrow money to study voice in New York. Within six months he had a Metropolitan Opera contract and soon got the part of Ford in "Falstaff." His performance in this production earned him front-page notices, where successive achievements have kept him
16 Delegates To English Meet
Sixteen representatives of the department for English left yesterday for Emporia where they are attending meetings of the Kansas college teachers of English being held at the teachers college there.
John E. Hankins, associate professor of English, is scheduled to read a paper entitled "Hamlet and the Code of Honor". Also on the program at the conference will be Percy N. Boynton of the University of Chicago and William Allen White.
3,000 Musicians Swarm Campus
Singing Ambassadors Get Back to the Hill
With droopy eye lids and discordant voices, thirty members of the Men's Glee club returned to classes today, their annual concert tour just another lost echo in the high schools of southern Kansas.
The traveling salesmen of good will for the University arrived in Lawrence late last night from Wichita, where they ended their vocal visits to Kansas towns with a half hour radio program on station KANS.
In three and one-half days, the songsters appeared 10 times in nine cities, but reported an enjoyable trip despite their strenuous schedule of concerts. A hint of general dissatisfaction with the management of the trip by the Extension division was heard, however, in a statement of one member that "they can either give the tour back to the Glee Club or they can give it back to the Indians."
Although the major event of the year has been completed, the Glee Club will continue regular rehearsals next week in preparation for a program April 18 at Oskalosa.
Weather
Clear skies and rising temperatures are forecast for tonight and tomorrow. No cold in sight for eastern Kansas.
Restricted Area Is No Threat To Fearless Fey
Fey knows the severe penal code for smoke-law violators. He has witnessed punishment already meted out to three offenders.
Bill Fey, c'40, claims he is the most fearless man on the campus and has some grounds for saying so.
Yes, fearless Fey strolled before 3,200 persons this week, nonchalantly puffing on a cigaret in a "restricted area."
The explanation: Fey was showstealing Nick Potter in this week's four-night showing of "Holiday" and each performance called for a cigarette smoking. He complied before an average of 800 persons a night.
"Don Givinie", the two-act opera by Mozart, was presented last night in the Music room of the Memorial Union building. The opera was one in a series of operas, oratories, and special concerts which is presented each week.
Two Boarding Clubs Enter Health Drive
Union Music Room Presents Mozart Opera
Two student boarding clubs have accepted invitations from the health service to participate in the program of examining food handlers, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, announced this morning.
"There is no compulsory measure to force independent boarding clubs to have their food handlers examined; it is optional." Doctor Canutelson said, "but we hope the others will follow the leaders." Examinations to both student and non-student workers in these clubs are given free.
Letters were sent to all student boarding clubs inviting them to participate in the program, and the Dunakin club, 1336 Ohio street, and the Haf-a-Hil club, 1329 Ohio street, have volunteered to have their food handlers examined by the health service.
Doctor Canuteson also remarked that most of the food handlers in organized houses have been examined, but a few from almost all the houses have not reported yet.
There was music in the air today when over 3,000 senior high and junior high school students from 62 schools assembled on the campus for the district music festival, sponsored by the State High School Activities association.
The elimax of today's contests was the grand march of bands led by the baton twirlers at 3 this afternoon in Memorial stadium. After the parade of bands the baton twirling contest was held.
The larger groups performed today while only the ensembles and soloists will remain until tomorrow to avoid creating a housing problem. Lawrence Memorial high school marching band of 91 members was the largest group participating with their high school orchestra of 68 musicians ranking second.
Winners in this district meet will be entitled to participate in the national-regional festival to be held in Kansas City on May 9, 10, and II.
Faculty members of the University judging in the contest include Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts; Russell Wilkie, director of the band, Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin; Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice; and Mrs. Alice Monroe, associate professor of voice.
R.O.T.C. Inspection Is April 23,24
Members of the R.O.T.C. have some brass to shine, not only for their dance tomorrow night, but also for the annual inspection which is set for April 23 and 24, according to a report from the R.O.T.C. office.
Coloney Raymond W. Briggs will make the administrative inspection, and Colonel W. E. Lucas, and Major H. W. Cochran will conduct the training inspection for the infantry and coast artillery units respectively.
Texas Eclipse Pictures Are Highly Successful
What are believed to be the first successful pictures of an annular solar eclipse for the University, were taken at Conroe, Texas, recently by N. Wyman Storer, associate professor of astronomy.
Two dozen pictures showing clearly the movement of the moon onto the sun were taken. The pictures show the moon's disc completely surrounded by the sun, and breaks in the edge of the sun, being made by mountains of the moon projecting over the circumference of the sun. Another picture was taken when the
moon was exactly centered on the sun.
The eclipse lasted three hours and nine minutes. The ring eclipse, when the moon appeared completely surrounded by the sun, lasted for six minutes.
Professor Storer said, "We knew we were taking a big chance that the expedition would be hampered by bad weather, but we were fully rewarded with successful results."
Professor Storer was accompanied by Henry Horak, c'40, William Bush, gc., and H. S. Menderhail, professor of astronomy at Oklahoma A. & M.

Most people watch Fred Astaire's feet. The next time you see him, watch his hands. They are as flexible and expressive, in their way, as those wonderful legs and feet and, without the spectators' conscious knowledge, are responsible for Astaire's complete grace in motion.

If you are aware of stiff, awkward gestures, it is a sign that you need more exercises. Try these two. First, the "newspaper crumble." Take an entire newspaper page in one hand and crumble it into a ball, without using the other hand. You'll see how each finger goes to work, and you'll discover how lazy and inactive some of those fingers have been. The second exercise is the "rubber-band hand-cuff." Put an elastic band over your little finger. Twist it over to look like a figure 8 and loop the other end over the index finger or thumb. Now work it off without using your other hand. These exercises will make your hands far more limber, and graceful.
There's almost nothing that can be done to improve the shape of your hands. But there is almost no end to the things you can do to give the illusion of improved hand-shape.

Kansas Opens Big Six Season
Burge Faces Wildcats In First of Two Games
Hardly knowing whether to wear baseball spikes or snow shoes because of the weather man's unwillingness to cooperate, the Kansas Jayhawkers and the Kansas State Wildcats clashed on the varsity diamond at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the first of a two-day series.
If experience counts for anything the Kansas State nine should finish high in the Big Six race this

year, because Coach Frank Myers' lineup for this afternoon's game was composed entirely of lettermen.
Two of the Wildcat outfielders need no introduction to Kansas fans. In left field was Erv Reid, one of the outstanding outfielders in the conference, and in right field was Chris Langyart, a regular in the Kansas State backfield last fall. Forak Returns
Except for pitcher John Burge the Kansas lineup was the same as the one which practically annihilated Rockhurst Wednesday afternoon. Henry Horak, hard-biting outfielder who has returned from a trip to Texas with University astronomers, will probably see service in left field some time during the game.
With Horak's return, Mike Geto has three possible choices for the starting pitcher in the second game of the series tomorrow afternoon. The outfielder, who is also a southpaw pitcher, took a long workout under the stadium last night, and his showing impressed the Kansas coach to such an extent that he is debating whether to give Horak, Red Dugan, or possibly Knute Kresie, an opportunity to tame the Wildcats.
Cold Weather Hinders Practice
Because the cold weather prevented his men from practicing outside yesterday afternoon, Coach Getto held a short drill under the stadium and spent the rest of the time checking out suits to candidates for the freshman team. The following men have already reported for practice: Bait Atwell, Earl Bozemen, Ralph Caldenn, Willis Diggs, Delmar Green, Jack Smith, Jack Writs, Bud Yazel. Phil
Century Dash To Feature Three Stars
Sprint champions from three sections will fight it out in a 100-yard dash race that should be a thriller at the Eighteenth Annual Kansas Relays, Saturday. April 20.
Holding the public's eye right now as a result of his victory at the Texas Rebels last week is little Welby Williams of North Texas State. However, the Eagle speedster rates as nothing better than an even choice with "Red" Littler of Nebraska and Myron Piker of Northwestern.
The race at the Kansas Relays will be the first meeting of the three dash stools. Williams and Littler are sophomores and Piker is a junior.
Piker has a brilliant record behind him, one which has given him considerable backing. The Northwestern ace has completed in three Big Ten meets during his varsity career and has been a winner each time.
Twice he has won the 60-yard dash at the Big Ten indoor meet, running the distance in the fast time of 6.2 seconds. Last spring at the conference outdoor meet, Piker won the 100-yard dash. He has raced the 100 in 9.5 seconds.
Littler is the pick of track fans in this section to capture the Relays spring championship. The red-heired flier was a sensation in the Big Six indoor meet.
He won the 60-yard dash in that meet, raced to victory in the 440-yard dash in fast time, and anchored the Nebraska mile relay team. Litter ran a year at Compton, Calif., Junior College before enrolling at the Cornhusker school.
Six members of the football team who will move over to the baseball diamond from the gridiron as soon as spring practice is completed are: Irven Hayden, Bill Blanding, Steve Mesde, Tony James, Grant Hunter, and Don Hill.
Win or lose, Littler probably will be the most colorful figure in the race. The Husker star has a flair to his running that will make him a favorite with the crowd. He has run the 100 in 9.7 seconds.
The diminutive Williams, on the basis of his showing at the Texas Relays, should make it a photo-finish with the other two stars. Only five feet, seven inches tall, Williams has a best mark of 9.6 seconds.

Doctors Love to Examine Cunningham For Defects
By Carlyle Dawes, c'42
By Carlyle
Glenn Cunningham, one world's champion who would not get sore when there was not a trainer around when he needed one, last evening sat on a dressing table and rubbed down his own fire-charred legs as he chatted to the K.U. track team about himself or anything else they wanted to hear about, at the University stadium.
"Every place I ga," Cunningham said, "doctors want to give me a physical examination and go over me to see if they can't find a reason I shouldn't run anymore. If it isn't an enlarged heart, it's bad lungs, or something else. An athlete's heart doesn't beat like an ordinary person's, but due to the exertion of running, it will speed up considerably for a while, and then beat even less than normal at rest periods."
"If I had paid any attention to all the whims of physicians," he continued, "I would probably be dead by now. Sometimes I began to wonder if I was going to get out of their offices alive." He did make allowances for some doctors.
While talking informally, his listeners were impressed so completely, only a few would bob up with a question. And Glenn didn't mind talking.
Living a 19-hour Day
He said he had been living a 19-hour day for quite some time and still running his races. He is employed by the Extension Division of Kansas University as a traveling lecturer. Driving from one city to another, lecturing on athletics or education subjects, he says, is wearing him down.
“Trying to lecture and work out only once or twice a week for races is too much,” he claims.
Asked when he would take a rest from such intensive work, he said he "would get a teaching position as soon as the school year is over."
Prior to his visit here yesterday.
he had said he would run no m indoor races. Te affirmed this swer again.
Invite 23 Schools To W.A.A. Play Day Here April 27
Following his own advice, Cunningham stepped into a wash shower for about fifteen minutes still talking with the track men气救 about him. As a typical athlete does, he weighed himself after shower.
"Probably I'll run a good more races, but I expect to someday. I will always remain a tive, however, and run to keep n self in at least fairly good condition."
Speaking curtly, but we were "Elkhart speeder" began a discussion of newspapers and newspaper men of his own accord. Even those being very lenient with report about quoting him, several New Yorkers would put in as much as columns of quotes, about him a sometimes he had never seen the porter. Until his wife had been caught by the news hounds on a word talk, resulting in a column and a half of quotation by her, Gloria said she would often chide him telling the newspapers some of things they claimed he had
Dropping his opinion about bat for athletes, he said, "Everybody so that hot bats for more than a few minutes are hard on athletes. May so, but I love them. The morris before I was to run the Milrose vitation Mile a year ago, I was wow out. I had been on the road a and I was plenty tired. I got it in a good hot bath and just relax. When I got out, I felt refreshed ready for the race." He always ta cold shower after a hot one. Watches His Words
When taking a stroll in the park these spring days, please don't step on the grass. When taking an airing in your automobile, please don't step on the gas.
"Now she is cured," he said.
The annual W.A.A. Play Day for high school girls will be held Saturday, April 27, on the University fields and in Robinson gymnasium. Committees have been appointed to plan a day of activities for girls invited from 23 Kansas high schools.

Thinclads Pointing To Relays
All the Jayhawker track squad could do toward betterting themselves yesterday was to run a few laps indoors. A snow-covered stadium and a wind that would nearly whip your feet out from under you, made Bill Hargiss, track coach, prohibit use of the out-of-doors for exercising.
Captain Ray Harris, while sitting on a bench brooding over his injured instep, complained of being Doctor Allen's "guinea-pig." He said that Allen believed he did not have the necessary strength in his body to heal his foot. "If he had," Allen argues, "his foot would have been well by now."
Ray said he was taking four kinds of pills and capsules under the doctor's care. Several methods of tapping have been tried, and often the plucky runner wears a wrapping under his street shoes.
Squad members took only short workouts for fear of making their muscles sore or straining ligaments. Care is being taken by all, now that the Kansas Relays are so near at hand.
Fencing Match Tonight To Be Broadcast Short Wave
The match between the University men's fencing team and the Mattie Rhodes fencers, from Kansas City, at 8 o'clock tonight in Robinson gym, will be broadcast by short wave, subject to permission of the regional amateur radio inspector, according to Haven Glassmire, president of the K.U. Fencing Club, today.
A 21-2 meter portable transmitter will be installed at the scene of the match. Then the broadcast will be picked up by a 20 meter transmitter belonging to a local amateur radio operator and rebroadcast.
The entire men's and women's teams of the Fencing Club will meet with the Kansas City University team at 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

Archie San Romani In Special Mile
Archie San Romani, former Emporia Teachers star, today was announced as the fourth starter in the feature mile race at the Eighteenth Annual Kansas Relays. He will run against Glenn Cunningham and the Rideout twins, Wayne and Blaine.
San Romani has been the winner of special mile races twice at previous Relays. In 1937, he beat Cunningham in a two man race and the following year he defeated Cunningham, Don Lash and Gene Venzke.
In 1936 San Romani was the anchor man on the Emporia Teachers distance medley relay team which competed in the university class and won, setting a record which still stands.
Last year, in the invitation mile run at the Relays, Cunningham defeated "Chuck" Fenske.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
Business And The War
Inventory purchases shot upward throughout the United States yesterday indicating the possibility that business is repeating its mistake of September in being optimistic over the expected increased exports to Europe coming as a result of the spread of the war to Scandinavian sections.
True. Germany's occupation of Norway and Denmark will accelerate purchases of war materials by the Allies. The tremendous amount of materiel and war supplies destroyed in the current battles will be replaced in great part by purchases from the United States. Should action along the various fronts increase French and British plant productive capacity, now sufficient, will require more and more supplementary aid from the United States' factories.
The purchases, however, will be highly selective in accordance with an Allied war policy designed to conserve the French and British savings as long as possible. Importation of nonwar materials will be eliminated by careful planning. United States industries producing peace commodities will receive less and less European orders in an Allied attempt to balance expenditures. Naturally, this will produce severe dislocations in these industries.
What Officials Started Students Can Finish
With the date, May 4-5 spiking official University calendars as the year's first Mother-Father day, it's stop-watch time that Josephine and Jo. Summerfield and P.B.K., jellier and library haunter prove that the strength of family bonds aren't dead. Surely the 2 or 3 thousand mothers over Kansas and adjoining states are more than recipients of laundry bags to University students. Surely the like number of fathers are more than footers of checks. A letter home now would prove it.
Parents like to be spoiled. They like to be treated as the family potentates they really are. If they get an invitation soon, they will make plans to come for the week-end. If they are invited late, like popular girls, they may take offense and say they're busy.
The University will be as expansive as the circus fat woman. Its tentative plans for mother-father entertainment will include a Dramatics Club rehash, Saturday afternoon; food gala-mode in the banquet style, Saturday night; Sunday dinners at organized houses; and Sunday afternoon listen-in at the interfraternity sing.
There's a big welcome sign on the University doormat. Possibly it will serve as a reminder to individual students.

Just to pidgeon-hole all the statesmen who fought the Hull reciprocal trade agreement program why not call those of the house, Misrepresentatives, and those of the senate, Senators.
This means that, nationally, business does not stand to gain much from the war.
All this makes it seem that American business is watching the wrong part of the world. With Germany and other European nations out of the Latin America merket, the gate is wide open for business negotiations that will last permanently. Backed by Hull's reciprocal trade agreements, the Latin American countries have increased their purchases here since the first six months of the war 47 per cent over the period 1938-39.
A dependence upon the "fool's gold" of European war markets can bring us trouble-first, perhaps, a repeal of the Johnson Act, then involvement in the war. Cultivation of the Americas' gardens can bring us permanent prosperity, peace, and good will. In addition it will leave us in a position to resume normal trade with Europe when the war is ended.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By Marilyn McBride
To the horror of the book-burning California Chamber-of-Commerce outspoken Eleanor Roosevelt saw the Okies in their squalid, stopgap camps and commented: "I have never believed that 'The Grapes of Wrath' exaggerated."
Mrs. K., Theta housemother, sums up the quick lunch hour of those with 1:30 classes: "The girls just gobble, gabble, andgit."
What's Behind the War News? Everyone speculates on this question, and four "insiders" discussed it last night over KFKU. Reed, Chapman, Murray, and Eide—the first three, active newspaper men, and the later a K.U. journalism professor. Said news-editor Reed of the K.C. Star: "The rapidly decreasing number of neutrals will necessitate sending complete war news from a more distant point to avoid censorship."
This bull-session type broadcast ranged from definitions of propaganda to comparisons of news gathering in past war. Scattered opinions from the experts: (1) Amsterdam is a flop as an accurate news source . . . latest example, the Bremen yarn; (2) Young Bill White writes unique angle stories with the Commercial-St.-in-Emporia twist; (3) Value of news depends not only on how it is written, but also on how
it is read; (4) Atrocity stories leave us cold; they are mere setting-up exercises for the propaganda masters.
Said Professor Ise in a pessimistic forecast: The late Swedes . . . apparently agreeing in spirit with one Tom Clough, an unemployed English miner, who reiterates time and again, "The world is in a turrible state of chassis" (In Knight's book "Happy Land.")
Glamour-voiced Franklin D. can croon sweet nothings into the mike and send the public back to their gas-lit firesides, comforted. Young Mr. Dewey is a competitor in not only the presidential sweepstakes, but as head political bedtime storyteller to the United Sheep of America.
Dewey is sweeping the primaries in a surprising fashion. He is living proof that it isn't what you say it's the way that you say it. The G.O.P. came whooping out of the elephant burial grounds when goldenvoiced Tom Dewey first murmured into the mike. This is the age of ear-conscious, radio dominates the public. A candidate may be a pillar in his community and a shiny political light, but if his voice has the mellowness of a buzz-saw and his diction and delivery offends the sensitive listener, his cause may be sunk on the ether waves.
Speech Program Nears Completion
The survey of curricular speech work in colleges and secondary schools in Kansas is nearing completion, Miss Margaret L. Anderson, assistant professor of speech, reported at the meeting of the Kansas Speech Teachers' Association last weekend. This research was undertaken by the department of speech and dramatic art and the extension division at the University at the request of the Association.
The Metalliferous Economic Geology class under Prof. R. M. Dreyer will spend four days on a field trip in Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas, from April 24 to 28.

Professor Eisley of the department of sociology was so flustered by the questions Beth Hinckson asked him regarding his lecture on syphilis that he blushingly proceeded to discuss the "syphiletic" clinics of Scandinavian countries.
And di you notice how much Professor Eldridge of the same department resembles the bartender buddy of W. C. Fields in "My Little Chickadee?"

Louis Ward bet Pattie Wadley that he could get a better score with the nickle-in-the-slot gun than she could. The wager was her shoe strings against his. She lost.

The afternoon ended with Patty walking into the Gamma Phi house sans shoes and Louie has a pair of feminine kicks hanging trophy fashion in his room at the Kappa Sig house.

One that Winchell missed: Dean and Mrs. Moreau, expecting for some time, are proud-parenting over a baby boy as of last night.
Sandusky, O. (UP)—Island "Utopias" are not all they are supposed to be, according to Melvin Zelms and his family, just back on the mainland after four years on a lush and lonely Lake Erie island.
Zelms, his wife and four children raised turkeys and cattle on 450-acre Johnson's Island, noted as the burial ground of 206 Confederate army officers, most of whom died in the Union prison located on the island during the Civil War.
"Life on the island was just like the Old West," Zelms said. "But it was deadly isolation, with no entertainment, no friends and no conveniences. Let someone else try out this Utopia business. We've had our fill."

Limber Up-wear big rings. If your hands are broad, they'll look slenderer if you put a faint line of dark foundation cream on the outer sides; avoid round rings; wear only oblong shaped rings pointing toward your nails; get gloves that are big enough. If your hands are "scrawny," they will look fuller if you: wear chunky jewelry; massage them with olive oil at night, and keep them relaxed.
Let's start with the care. Clean hands, soft and frequently lotioned, blend in with the rest of your arm and do not call attention to themselves by obvious redness or roughness. So cleanliness and hand-lotion come first.
Are your fingers short and stubby? They'll look longer if you: wear longer nails; carry pale polish (never brilliant on stubby fingers) clear to the nail tips; avoid big rings, wide or chunky bracelets. If your fingers are long, they'll look in better proportion if you: keep nails short, leave moon and tips uncovered by polish; choose a bright nail polish.

Your hands need a complete manicure once a week, "retouching" as often as your eagle-eye tels you is necessary. So much has been written on the slovenly look of chipped nail polish and rough cuticle that every girl should be aware of the importance of a daily "look-and-fix." It may be more convincing if you start counting other people's untidy nails discovering how ugly and obvious is this carelessness.

Sea Strategy-of the Germans to maintain their foothold in Norway. Even though the Allies manage permanently to cut the sea communications of the Germans through the Kattegat they the Germans, still will be able to pour thousands of fully equipped men to Norway through the air on big, troop carrying airplanes. Troops Through The Air
Continued From Page 1...
It has been reported reliably that Germany already is using several hundred troop-carrying airplanes transporting 20 men each.
Because of the short distances involved it is possible for each plane to make several trips a day. Comparatively short flights make it possible for the transports to be protected by fighter planes. On longer flights such protection would not be possible because of the limited flying range of the fighters.
British Planes Repulsed High Command Says
Berlin, April 12.—(UP)—The High Command announced today that
German troops in Norway had beaten off British air and naval attacks on Trouidheim and Stavanger and had occupied new areas around Oslo, Narvik and Elvenes.
It was announced that British torpedo-carrying airplanes had raided Trondheim and that British warships had attacked Trondheim Fjord, but that both attacks failed and German troops had taken over more Norwegian coastal fortifications and put them in a state of preparedness.
Norwegian Troops Battle Germany North of Oslo
Stockholm, Sweden, April 12. (UP)Norwegian troops, reinforced by hastily mobilized Reservists, were reported fighting fiercely against German infantry, and mechanized units today on a line extending north and northeast of Oslo.
Kongsvinger, northeast of the capital near the Swedish frontier was reported to be the main battle area for the present but it was indicated that there was heavy fighting also in the Elverum-Hamar sector north of Oslo.
Bob Swanson
MOTORSPORTS
picks his racing cars for speed—his cigarettes for slow burning
HERE THEY COME in a hurricane of flying dirt and squirting oil. You can almost hear the high whine of the motors and the shriek of brakes and burning tires as they streak into the sharp unbanked curves. They may call 'em "midget racers," but there's speed to burn underneath those toy-like hoods. Leading the pack in the picture above is Bob Swanson, Pacific Coast champ. In a split second these racers may be climbing each other's hoods, hurdling, somersaulting, flying through fences. Bob Swanson likes a slower pace in his off-time. Fishes a lot. Smokes Camels a lot. He explains: "I don't like overheating in my cigarette any more than I like it in a racing motor. I stick to Camels. I know they're slower-burning...milder and cooler."

Swarthout Looks For Best Music Festival In History
Music Club To Honor Carl Preyer
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Music Club of Lawrence will honor one of the best composers in the United States, Prof. Carl A. Preyer, University faculty member. Preyer is composer of numerous musical selections, published by some of the world's foremost publishing houses.
One of the best numbers on this afternoon's program will be his concert piece for piano and orchestra. It will be played by Ruth Orcutt, assisted by Mrs. Dorothy Enlow Miller
Composed by Preyer during a vacation in Michigan, it was first performed by him at a May Music Festival here with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra under Emil Oberhoffer. The orchestral accompaniment was arranged from the piano score by Carl Busch of Kansas City. Later Preyer played the piece with the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra and with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra directed by Max Zach. In 1935 Ruth Orcutt played it with the Kansas City Symphony under Krueger.
The German firm of Breitkopp and Haeret published Preyer's first Sonata, a theme and variations, a scherzo, and a concert for piano and orchestra. When the scherzo ap-

Musicians Take Over The Hill
The strains of music faded with the sun yesterday as more than 3-000 high school students from 62 schools "played Taps" to the annual district music festival here.
Ensembles and soloists performed yesterday, while many prize winners and disappointed aspirants of Friday's session returned home in order to avoid creating a housing problem. Four sites on the campus rang with the dying notes of the festival. In Meyer hall mixed ensembles, girls ensembles, and boys ensembles were featured, and girls vocal solos and boys vocal soles were sung in the Memorial Union building and Fraser theater, respectively
A note of carefree gayety characterized the meet, with the many visitors and the cars in which they came creating a major traffic problem on Oread avenue. And perhaps in no previous festival has there been so much color and hilarity.
Relays Committee Urges County Clubs To Act
Owl Society Elects Twenty-two Members
County Club chairmen were urged today by the Kansas Relays Committee to invite high school students from their counties to the Relays, and to do their best to make them feel at home here.
In one of the least controversial elections in years, Owl society, junior men's honor organization, has elected 22 sophomores to its ranks, Budd Russell, 'c41, president of the organization announced today.
Success of such activities in the past encouraged the Relays Committee to follow a similar plan this year.
Without the long drawn out bickering of past years, the junior brain trusters elected one of the most representative groups of the junior class ever to be given membership. The composite grade point average of the 22 new men is 2.47. Owl society is purely an honorary organization, having no specific function, and the main requisites for membership are scholarship and Hill activities. Initiation services for the new men will be held in about two weeks.
The new members are Elden Beebe, c'42; Jim Brown, c'42; Bob Collett, c'42; Bill Collinson, c'42; Jack Dunagin, c'42; Fred Eberhardt, c'42; Bob Fluker, c'42; Max Howard, c'42; Clint Kanaga, c'42; George Kettner, c'42; Keith Martin, c'42; Ben Matasarin, c'42; Bob McElfresh, c'42; Donn Mosser, c'42; Eugene Nininger, fa'42; Edwin Price, c'42; Fred Robertson, c'42; Keith Spalding, c'42; Jim Surface, c'42; Charlie Walker, c'42; Bob Woodward, c'42; and Art Wahl, c'42.
The annual Music Week festival, beginning Sunday, April 28, is expected to be one of the best ever held at the University, it was announced yesterday by Donald M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts. A record list of performers has been signed to appear during the week.
Tickets have been placed on sale and a large number of sponsors for the week of music has been secured. Season tickets, for the three concerts, will cost $1.53, while admission to a single concert will be one dollar.
Churches to Observe
Dean Swarthout, in announcing the program for the festival, said that customary observances would be made in many of the churches of the city. Sermons and special musical programs are being planned by church officials. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock the musical groups of the grade, junior, and senior high schools will present a varied program of orchestra, band, and choral numbers from the stage of Hoch auditorium.
Lawrence Tibbett, world-famous baritone, will give a concert in the auditorium Monday evening, April 29. as a regular attraction on the University concert course. Already there has been a large sale of tickets for the baritone's concert to patrons all over the state it was announced by the Fine Arts office. Plan Arts Convocation

Politicians Flay Rivals With Ballyhoo
By Reginald Buxton, c'40
A campaign that has had all the surface aspects of a Sunday School election took a spurt this morning and last night with the circulation of newspapers, matches, and personal letters to voters.
The newspaper, a Pachacamac publication called the "Student Government Counselor," flayed the P.S.G.L. for raising class barriers between independent and fraternity men. An article in the "baby" tabloid labeled the P.S.G.L. as "Yes Men." The Rising Sun "journalists" took several cues from the Kansas City Star's crusade against the machine party in comparing the qualifications of their presidential candidate, Bob McKay, b'40, with P.S.G.L.'s Bill Farmer, '42.
P. S.G.L. strategists last night put out matches bearing the picture of presidential candidate, Bill Farmer, The matches, a sore spot with Pachacamac since last year's ruckus over those of C. H. Mullen, brought an expression of disgust from Seth Gray, b'41, Pachacamac leader, and a veiled threat of "prosecution."
(Editor's note: The constitution of the Men's Student Council limits the value of articles given away in a campaign to one-half of one cent each. P.S.G.L. leaders insist the matches stay within this limit; Pachacamac is not so sure.)
The policy of the P.S.G.L. campaign, according to Wilbur Leonard, I'42, has been to emphasize personal contact with the voters instead of all the "ballyhoo" of broadsides, ac-

Jayhawker Out Monday; Beauty Contest to End
The spring issue of the Jayhawker goes on sale Monday afternoon at 1:30 in the book exchange in the basement of the Memorial Union building.
The benefits of fraternity and independent life are debated in articles by Reginald Buxton, c'40, taking the independent side, and Bob Hedges, b'40, upholding fraternity point of view. The respective articles are "Independence with a Vengeance" and "Lo, the Happy Fraternity Man."
Other articles concern Glenn Cunningham, the basketball season, the Y.M.C.A., and the extension division.
The deadline for the Jayhawker beauty queen contest has been set at noon, April 15, by Editor Richard MacCann, c'40. Anyone may submit a photograph of any girl student to the Jayhawker office in the basement of the Memorial Union building.
From the photographs entered, the editor and business manager will select the ranking 15, to be photographed at the Hixon studios. The new photos will be sent to a national beauty authority not yet selected. The winners, who become the recognized campus beauties, will be announced in the Jayhawker appearing the latter part of May.

an account of Mt. Oread Society Kay Bozarth, Society Editor
With a heavy schedule and the weatherman cooperating, the University had one of the liveliest weekends in all time. The influx of high school students for the music festival started the weekend early and the R.O.T.C. men kept the social wheel spinning Friday evening.
Scabbard and Blade, honorary military fraternity, enlisted Major Carlton Smith and Major Carroll G Riggs, assistant professors of military science, associate members of the University company, at a banquet at the Colonial tearoom preceding the R.O.T.C. ball in the Memorial Union ballroom.

Speakers at the banquet were Colonel Karl F. Baldwin, Major Smith, and Major Riggs. Cadet captain Donald D. De Ford conducted the estoling ceremony, and Cadet First Lieutenant T. I. Raymond acted as master of ceremonies.
Guests at the banquet were Col. and Mrs. Karl F. Baldwin, Dean and Mrs. Ivan C. Crawford, Major and Mrs. Carleton Smith, Major and Mrs. Carroll Riggs, Sergeant and Mrs. William Kollender, Sergeant and Mrs. H. E. Roy, Prof. and Mrs. Earnest Boyce, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Fearing of Lawrence, V. C. Rethman, John Griffith, and Moe Ettenson and Robert Ward, alumni from Lawrence.

Shorts, Play Suits More Pleasant Than Cod Liver Oil
Men take an unholly pleasure in poking fun at women's hats, shoes, dresses, and makeup.
But one form of feminine attire finds fever with all men that are young in mind. That is shorts and play suits.
Everyone will have to agree that this abbreviated dress is sensible and health promoting. Doctors should approve of shorts because they allow the wearer to absorb a plentiful supply of the sun vitamin in a much more pleasant form than cod liver oil.
Cellsthics experts unanimously approva f play suits because they allow girls to see more of themselves and consequently to correct posture (lefects with greater efficiency).
The following men were recently initiated into Alpha Kappa Psi, business fraternity.
Lloyd Elliott, b'41, Harold Evans, c'42, Charles Flinner, b'41, Robert Groff, b'41, Chester Lebsack, c'42, Kermit Lorenz, b'41, Cedric Moorhead, b'41, and Robert Pfeil, b'41.

A "March of Time" movie series will be shown Fraser theater at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, it was announced late yesterday by the University Forum Board.
The production staff of "Sing in 'N swing" met Friday night to discuss details of business matters. As financial problems were being ironed out, the chorus and specialities for the show were preparing to enter the final week of rehearsals.
The "March of Time" showing is sponsored by the Forum board and the University Extension division. Activity books will be required for admittance for both the afternoon and the evening showing.

Ask More Bond From John Claflin
John M. Claflin, c'40, waived his preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Robert Oyler Saturday morning and was bound over to answer four charges of arson in connection with a series of Phil Dell fires at the May term of Douglas county district court.
An additional $1,000 bond for Claflin was set after the waiver plea was entered by his attorney-father, O. Q. Claflin of Kansas City. This brings the bonds to a total of $4,000, which were signed by Claflin's mother and L. M. Metzler of Lawrence.
The defendant is scheduled to appear on the opening day of the May term of court, May 6.
Claflin faces charge of four counts of arson for damage done at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house last October and November. The charges were filed in district court in February after Claflin confessed to setting the fires. The defendant later repudiated the confession, maintaining that he was forced to sign the statement.

K-State Wins Second Tilt
Wildcats Bump Dugan To Defeat Jayhawks 14-4
Bob Trump, c'42
After outlasting the Kansas State nine in a free-hitting marathon Friday by a score of 16 to 14, the Kansas baseball team saw its two-game winning streak buried under a barrage of Wildcat hits yesterday afternoon as their country cousins took the second game of the series 14 to 4.
Going into the seventh inning of yesterday's battle, Frank Wolfe, who had replaced Floyd Kirkland, and "Red" Dugan were locked in a pitcher's duel with the Kansas State hurler holding a 3 to 1 advantage. But the storm descended during the
Detroit Tigers Fail to Hustle In Exhibitions
By George Kirksey
New York, April 13.—(UP)—Echoes from the spring training circuit: The Detroit Tigers weren't breaking their necks hustling when seen in exhibition games en route North . . . There was quite a lot of kidding going on among the Tigers when they stopped off to play the Knoxville Smokies of the Southern Association . . . Once Del Baker stopped Dick Bartell at home plate between innings and after an animated conversation, was heard to say: "Well, try for the love of Mike, anyway . . ." Then when the Tigers got some of their signals crossed up Red Kress, coaching on first, muttered: "Looks like a meeting tomorrow." . . .
Everybody says Pee Wee Reese is a fielding marvel but the tip is out he won't hit 260 . . . A veteran major league pitcher who pitched to Reesse said: "Reese can't hit a curve ball at all but he can hit a fast ball. It's tough to throw a fast one past him . . ." Paul Dean, the Giants' refuge, isn't entirely washed up if he keeps up his courage . . .
He doesn't have his old swift one but he can get something on the ball and he looks in good shape . . .
Bill Terry might have picked up a sleeper in the younger Dean after all . . .
Saddest ball player in the land is Zeke Bonura . . . Bill Terry has wiped the smile completely off Zeke's face and hurt his pride with that crack about "Bonura's phoney hustle" . . . Zeke says he called Terry on that accusation when they were discussing salary terms in Winter Haven conferences and Bill swore he never made the remark . . .
Despite the rough treatment Zeke's been subjected to, he is confident he will be back on first base for the Giants in a short while . . .
"Terry cut me $5,000," says Zeke, "But promised me he'd give me a chance to win my job back and said if I had a good year I'd get all my money back . . .". Asked if Ferry put that promise in writing, Bonura confessed, "No, he didn't. I had to take his word for it."
Despite the praise for Detroit's brilliant rookie pitcher, Dick Conger from the U.C.L.A. campus, the best looking young hurler on the Tigers
Wildcats' half of the stretch inning, and when the shelling had subsided, the Jayhawks were trailing by eight runs and victory was beyond reach.
In this fateful inning, Wolfe lined a double down the left field foul line, Townsend walked, and Hornsby was safe at first when Sands was slow in covering the sack. Miller drove a long fly ball to deep right field, and Horak, who backed up to take it, let the ball drop out of his grasp. Wolfe had scored on Horak's error, and another run came across when Graham sent a sacrifice fly to left, Langvart's double, Reid's single, and Duitsman's single accounted for four more runs, and the scoreboard showed Kansas State leading 9 to 1.
The Jayhawks had pushed their only run of the game across the plate in the fifth inning without the aid of a hit when Kirkland walked Kraemer and Cameron, and Horak was safe at first on a fielder's choice. With the bases loaded, Kirkland removed himself from the game by passing Cadwalader to force in Kraemer. Wolfe became the second Wildcat pitcher and immediately proceeded to put out the fire by forcing Sands to lift a fly to right field and causing Hensley to foul out to first base. With two out and the bases still full, Cameron broke for the plate, but was tagged out by catcher Marshall.
Kansas State struck again in the eighth for five more runs. After Townsend had walked and Hornsby and Miller had hit consecutive doubles, Knute Kresie replaced Dugan and was greeted by a single from the bat of Langvart and a double by Duitsman. Then Kresie settled down and retired the next two batters to end the inning.
With the game out of reach, the Jayhawks rallied for one run in the seventh and two in the eighth. Walks to Kraemer and Cadwalader and Sands' single sent one跑 across in the seventh followed by Merkel's grounder followed by Merkel's single, Kresie's walk, and two infield outs counted for two more in the eighth.
is John Gorsica, who had a record of 9 wins and 17 losses last year with Beaumont . . . He looks like he may develop into something . . .
Barney McCoskey, the Tigers' rookie outfielder whose brilliant work was overshadowed last year by Ted Williams and Charles Keller, is throwing a ball farther than ever this spring and is a good bet to exceed his home run production of last season when he collected only four round-trippers.

Sketches Of Relays Standouts
Among the hundreds of track stars who will converge upon Mt. Oread Saturday to participate in the eighteenth annual Kansas Re- lays are those whose thumbnail sketches follow.
WALTER ARRINGTON, MICHIGAN STATE-High jump and broad jump. Michigan State's lanky Negro star in the jumps. Made his best showing last year when he tied for first in the high jump with John Wilson and Clark Mallory of Southern California at the I.C.A.A. A.A. meet. Jumped 6 feet, 4 inches that day. Leaped better than 24 feet in the broad jump to take second at the Relays last year. His best mark in the broad jump in 1939 was 24 feet, 3 inches, made against Penn State. A junior.
DON BOYDSTON, OKLAHOMA A. & M.-High jump. The outstanding college high jumper in the United States this year. Leaped 6 feet 5 inches as a freshmen last year. This season, A. and M.'s first meet was its interclass meet and Boydston jumped 6 feet, 7 inches that day. The next meet was one at Fort Worth in which the Cowboy star jumped 6 feet $ \frac{8}{4} $ inches. This was the second highest jump ever made by a white man outdoors. Only better one was Walter Marty's 6 feet $ \frac{9}{4} $ inch leap. Boydston then tried 6 feet, 10 inches for a world record and almost got over it.
BEEFUS BRYAN, TEXAS—Pole vault. A sensational performer in the last two Kansas Relays. Set a new Relays record in the pole vault of 13 feet 11 3-4 inches as a sophomore. Boosted the record to 14

Sports Parade
By Henry McLemore
New York, April 13—(UP)—A tip on a Kentucky Derby horse travels faster than a humming bird hurrying for home. Three years ago the public choice was Billionaire. He finished twentieth and last to War Admiral. Two years ago the smart boys whispered the name of Bull Lea. He trailed in eighth place, 16 lengths behind Lawrin. Last year the wise money was on Technician. This bold bucko ended fifth back of Johnstown.
Still it seems, the suckers never learn. This year, a new hot thing is riding the crest of the winter books. The name of this beauty is Miolaen, the Brenda Diana Duff Frazier of 1940. In the short space of a single month this one-horse-incident has dropped from 100-1 to 40-1 to 15-1 to 12-1 and still is sinking.
The boys in the back room call Mioland an international incident because he is the closest thing the turf can offer to parallel a Rome-Berlin axis. He is the son of Mio D'Arezzo, an Italian stallion who did most of his early racing in Germany. Mio D'Arezzo was a Helluva horse. He won at six furlongs and he won at a mile and a half, carrying up to 138 pounds in doing it. He won in Germany and he won in Italy, and finally, by some sleight-of-hand which still is regarded as skullduggery by the German government, he was imported to the United States by H. W. Ray of Hillsboro, Ore.
Since immigrating, Mio D'Arezza has produced several sons. All of them were ordinary until Mioland came up to the races and began to run. Run he did. In fact, to date, he has run faster than any Oregon tribe ever bred. But this fact alone can hardly be considered as a true qualification for the derby, the biggest race in the country.
Mioland is a solid third choice for the Derby. Although he lags somewhat behind Bimelech and Andy K, he is tied with Carrier Pigeon. In every bookie shop you hear his name and in Southern California he is hotter than the forest fire which swept Santa Monica. But what I would like to know and incidentally, what most of the real turf experts want to know, is why Mioland is getting this tremendous backing.
Racing conservatives say that Mioland's eyes are too narrow for any really great horse. As well, his record is merely mediocre. The Oregon-bred has run 11 times to date.
Although in 1939 he won three of his

five trips to the post and never was out of the money, this season he has won but two of his six attempts. But, after his third start this year, he was purchased for $15,000 by Charles S. Howard of San Francisco, the owner of Seabiscuit and Kayak II, and was given into the hands of Trainer Tom Smith.
These two gentlemen may not actually be miracle men but apparently they are so regarded by the betting public. In his first race under the Howard Banner, Mioland finished 13th. In his next, the $50,000 Santa Anita derby, he closed a dozen lengths from the half to finish a flying fourth. The next time out he won.
This was in the $10,000 San Juan Capistrano Handicap, the Getaway day feature at the great green California plant. In that race, Mioland defeated every top horse who had whipped him in the Santa Anita derby. He finished the mile and a sixteenth in 1:42-2-5, a length and a quarter in front. The winter book parade has dated from there.
Student Court Hears Parking Pleas The student court sat in the Pine room of the Union building yesterday afternoon to hear the pleas of parking restriction violators. Five persons appeared before the court to present their cases. Announcement of the court's decision and the fine imposed will be sent to each of the violators Monday or Tuesday.
Able Committee Picking Talkers
An eight-member committee composed of students and members of the faculty who will be in charge of selecting speakers for the community lecture course for 1940-41, was appointed last week by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, will be chairman of the committee. The members include John H. Nelson, assistant dean of the College; Miss May Gardner, associate professor of Romance language; Dr. A. W. Davidson, professor of chemistry; the Rev. Joseph F. King; C. H. Mullen, president of the Men's Student Council; Velma Wilson, c'40; and O'Thene Huff, president of the W.S.G.A. The committee will meet later in the semester to make the selection of speakers.

Sociologist Views 30,000,000 Joads
(Editor's note: This is the first of a series of articles on current topics by University faculty members which will be published each Sunday in the Kansan.)
By Marston McCluggage Instructor in Sociology
Extraordinary international events, significant as they are, should not be allowed to divert our attention from domestic issues that need our attention. The problem of adequate relief for the twenty-three per cent of our population now outside our economic system is one of the most crucial of these issues. The unemployed, their dependents, the unemployables and other members of the "dispossessed" now total nearly thirty million people, or seven times the population of Finland. In spite of Dorothy Thompson's remarkable abolishment of unemployment by statistical manipulation we still have between one-fifth and one-fourth of our total labor supply unemployed. The American Youth Commission estimates that of six million young people between 16 and 24 seeking work, 3,800,000 are wholly unemployed.
Kansas has had a thirty-fold increase in relief costs in the last sixteen years, with over 44 million dollars being spent on some 101,000 cases in 1939. In the excitement generated by such statistics it is easy to jump to fallacious conclusions concerning relief. For example, the Kansas Government Journal for April, written on this campus, states, "It is the opinion of some county social welfare officers that many social welfare clients live on a plane above the standard of a good portion of the independent tax-paying citizens of the counties—the comfort and 'security' provided by relief are more attractive than those offered by many private jobs, businesses or professions. The standard of life of a relief client is simply outbidding industry, the farmer, the demand for domestic help and even the public service. Reports indicate men and women are quitting private employment by the hundreds to go on relief."
Yet, a few pages later in the same journal, the relief data for February for Kansas showed that the average grant for general assistance was $15.12, for old age assistance $19.50, the two principal classes of relief expenditure. In Mississippi the average case gets under $4 a month. New York state is the highest with $35.30. The national average is around $24 with fifteen of our states having an average grant during the last five years of less than $10 a month for relief.
The function of the social worker is not only to administer the minimum necessities of life—food, shelter and clothing—but also to develop the client's self-reliance and teach him to utilize his own resources. It requires more to get "reliefers" to stand on their own feet than to tell them they ought to, when frequently neither the client nor anyone else can see anything for them to stand on. Social workers cannot do much constructive work with a case load of over 200 as is now the average in Kansas. The really vital work of the social worker demands the successful cooperation of the community in organizing self-help opportunities, rather than carping criticism because relief costs are too high. The proper approach is not to beat down already inadequate relief standards, nor to infer that any large number are on relief because they like it.
It is obvious that such standards are not causing many persons to quit private employment, nor are they attracting many to relief rolls. The problem is a deeper one than lack of incentive on the part of the client. In fact, such standards create a tremendous incentive to find employment.
If we cannot bring these dispossessed back into our economic system through opening investment outlets by breaking down monopolistic price structures,then at least we should assist them in establishing an economic system of their own on the basis of "self-help" cooperatives.

When Fraser hall was built to house the then very young University, wooden steps were considered sufficiently imposing. For a long time thereafter, the Board of Regents annually refused to appropriate money for a new entrance way. And the present generation of students might still be using the wooden steps if somebody hadn't made a mistake that couldn't be erased.
Stone-Cutter's Field Day--- Misfit Porch Given Fraser By Nut House
If a mis-fit from the University is sent to Osawatomie, that's nothing. But if a mis-fit at the state insane asylum is sent to the University, it's at least a little unusual. And certainly the front porch of Fraser hall is unusual.
For years, visitors to the campus have admired the distinctive and noble lines of venerable Fraser. That is, they admire them until they get around to noticing the portico. Then they realize that something is wrong—and they're right.
The state architect had designed a porch for one of the new buildings at the insane asylum. The stone-cutters, however, made a mistake. When the porch was finished, it was found to be a mis-fit. Generously enough, the state architect then offered the porch to the University. The Board of Regents eagerly accepted the gift, and within a short time, the wooden steps were carted away.
Since then, professors of architecture at the University have pointed out Fraser's front porch to their students—but only as a glowing example of what not to do to a building.
Quill Club Plans Contest For Hill Creative Writers
Prof. Helen Rhoda Hoopes, of the department of English, announced the opening of the annual contest for members of Quill Club at a meeting of that organization in the Memorial Union building last night.
Manuscripts must be submitted by May 15 and will be eligible for publication in the intercollege magazine, "Parchment." Prize offered to the winning contestant is an autographed copy of Madeline Aaron's "Prairie Galleon." Miss Aaron graduated from the University in 1922, and was a member of Quill Club during her college career.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
This is a long story so we'll be VEa sometime last year. Mary Ann Cook, of the Gamma Phi house has long been in correspondence with a lad in the East.
On some anniversary or other he sent her four Japanese orchids, diminutive posies, worth considerably more than their weight in gold. Mary Ann didn't know what they were; broke up the corsage and gave a single blossom to each of three friends; kept one for herself.
When she wrote the young man she thanked him for the flowers; called them by some common garden type nomen. He wrote the florist; gave him the devil for not sending the right kind of flowers. The florist called Mary Ann; asked her what was the matter with the Japanese orchids he had to send to Kansas City for.
Just brings us up to this week's series of episodes.
The lad from the East came to Lawrence, unannounced, to spend a 10-day vacation. Invited to the Gamma Phi house for dinner Thursday night he sent a corsage for the housemother, a corsage for Mary Ann, and a corsage for the president, Betty Van Devanter. Not content with this floral display, he wound up with a talisman rose for every girl in the house and three center pieces for the table.
But there's more to this fairy tale. Between courses, the visitor stood up and gave a toast for the Gamma Phi's and Mary Ann that brought tears to many mamaacared

Charter Granted To Flying Club
The University women's flying club was granted a charter to become the 17th unit member of the Women's National Aeronautical association in the United States, by Mrs. Patricia Solander, governor of the eastern Kansas unit of the organization, at a meeting in the Memorial Union building Thursday night. Mrs. James D. McCoy, president of the Topeka unit, gave a short pep talk welcoming the K.U. girls into the club.
Mrs. Orlando Miller, air-marking chairman of the Kansas unit of the W.N.A.A., informed the new charter member of one of its future projects. The girls will work in co-
crbs. It even sent Patty Wadley upstairs openly crying.
It still must have been a potent toast.
Reason for the tears: Mary Ann had promised Joe Chesky at the Delt house to go steady starting this weekend. The girls knew it; the flower donor knew it.
We haven't heard what the final result is. If that won't swing it for the visitor, nothing will. He seems to have big ideas and the money to carry them out.
When presumptuous Tildie Ann Fowler, the girl your columnist usually escorts, hurt her finger, it was kissed and cured by John C. Hocevar, Jr. Miss Fowler then coily displayed her sore knee. Your columnist is bitter.

Both parties seemed earnestly convinced of victory. Gray confidently predicted a landslide for McKay and a Pachacamac majority on the council. Leonard, a veteran political war horse without bluster expressed an equal confidence in the ability of the hard working Farmer to win the M.S.C. presidency.
Both factions seemed to agree that the election has been more "sportsmanlike" than it has in past years.

Dry' Rain Delays K.U. Movie
In true Hollywood style, retakes are the principal concert of director Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic arts, and his staff, as they film K.U.'s first movie.
With the cast finally selected, after much delay caused by the inability to match name to the people given screen tests, the movie got under way last week with the filming of a rain storm. The shower system which makes the rain wasn't rainy enough so it, with the other attempts, is scheduled for retake.
Cameraman Art Wolf, l'42, has been taking scenery shots for several weeks. The crowd at the Symphony concert was also filmed.
Certain now that he knows little about the movies, Professor Crafton adds, however, he will continue trying until the movie is completed.
The scenario, written by Crafton, portrays the college experiences of typical University students from matriculation until graduation.

Men Shunning Polls 'Big' Political Rally A Flop
No Farmer On Hand For Debate
By Roscoe Born, c'41
By Roscoe Born, c.14
Pachacamac successfully campaigned Pachacamac last night.
Rising Sun's Inner Circle and a few more of "the boys" turned out 157 strong for the "Hill's biggest rally." Seven of that number were P.S.G.L.
The rally turned out to be stricly a Pachamac show. P.S.G.L.'s Bill Farmer, informed in the eleventh hour that he was debating Bob McKay, failed to appear.
A Late Invitation
Though Pachacamac's huge sound truck ballyhooed the "debate" all afternoon, P.S.G.L. maintains that Rising Sun's politicians forgot—until too late—the formality of inviting Bill Farmer to the debate.
Exactly what time the formal debate challenge was given remains a point for political bickering. Seth Grey, Pachacamac whip, stated he

Will Il Duce Go North?
Rome, April 16—(UP)—A German military mission arrived from Berlin today and was welcomed by high Italian army officers and members of the government. The Germans were expected to confer with the Italian general staff and to visit various army centers.
In Milan, there was an anti-British demonstration in front of the British consulate. It soon was broken up by police.
One demonstration entered the waiting room of the consulate and tore down a number of British war posters before he was evicted.
A number of demonstrations were reported in motion picture theaters showing news reels of Allied forces and prominent personages of the Allied countries.
Duce to Visit Fair Grounds

Premier Benito Mussolini was expected to visit the 1942 World's Fair grounds today preparatory to a meeting of Fair executives Saturday.
Coincident with arrival of the German military mission interest centered on long range plans of the Italian government and indications of Italy's attitude towards the European war.

Little Interest Shown
Less interest in politics and student government seemed to be one outcome of the election today.
A 2 o'clock check-up of all five polling places showed that only 1,267 men had voted.
Politicians have until 5 o'clock to bring in 71 more votes and tie last year's mark. Big wigs attributed the predicted decrease to lack of muckraking and excitement during the 1940 campaign.
One last chance to bring up the total lies in sudden spurts of voting which usually take place just before the polls close. The 2 o'clock check-up also misses the upswing of voting predicted to occur after 1:30 classes.
Total vote last year was 1,988 for the presidency. The vote was divided three ways when a third party, Bob Ramsay's Goldfish ticket, petitioned itself onto the ballot.
Election results will be available at The Kansan office until midnight. Call KU. 25 or 26.

But it wasn't until this fall when wee Bonnie Baker triumphed with "Oh Johnny" that Pattyne Jayne realized the possibilities of her natural vocal shyness. She was applauded wildly at Lawrence High School last month when the Women's Glee club presented a concert and was the hit attraction of the recent tour of the women singers.

Having attended Salina High School where jokers never give an easy mark an easy moment, Pattye Jayne has long ago become callous to quips about the spelling of her name.

Kansas Plays Tigers Today
Knute Kresie Is Pitcher Against M.U.
By Bob Trump, c'42
With sharpshooter Knute Kresie in the pitcher's box and both barrels loaded for tigers, the Kansas Jayhawks invaded the lair of the Missouri Bengals, at Columbia this afternoon, for the first of a two-game series.
Despite the fact that Missouri is expected to fight it out with the Oklahoma Sooners for the Big Six baseball championship this year, Coach Getto is conceding nothing to the Tigers and may pull the first upset of the season if his star right-hander can return to the form he displayed last Wednesday in muffling Rockhurst with seven hits.
If Kresie is right, tonight may find the Jayhawks out in front in the pennant race, for Missouri has yet to play a game this year. Not only has bad weather slowed down the practice sessions of the Tigers, but rain washed away scheduled encounters with St. Louis and Washington Universities in the Smoky City, last Friday and Saturday.
Infield Weak
Sports writers have described the Missouri infield as uncertain with four rookies battling for positions around the keystone sack and Paul Christman at first the only experienced played. Coach "Hi" Simmons discounts these statements with an argument all his own, declaring that defense is not so important in the Big Six as offense. "It is different in the Big Six than in the major leagues," Simmons asserts. "Our conference fielders are expected to make a certain amount of errors behind their hurlers. Batting is the most vital part of a team in college ball."
Conforming with the Big Six rules, Coach Mike Geto limited his traveling squad to the following 15 men: Knute Kresie, "Red" Dugan, John Burge, and Henry Horak, pitchers; Monte Merkel, catcher; Jack Sands and Louis Thompson, first base; Charles Kraemer and Bob Chilson, second base; Ray Napier and Bob Hunt, shortstop; Miller Cameron, third base; Ramie Beims, Larry Hensley, and Eldreth Cadwalader, outfielders.
Getto Takes 15 Men
KANSAS RELAYS
If this is true, Missouri might wrest the championship from Oklahoma because in the outfield Coach Simmons has three men who can hit for distance. Ken Wackher and Abe Hair are sure to be the regular right and left fielders, and diminutive Herb Gregg, forward on the Tiger basketball team, will play centerfield, if his injured ankle heals as quickly as is expected.

Jayhawker golf and tennis teams will play their second matches of the season when they meet the Washburn Ichabods, here tomorrow afternoon. Golf rounds will be played at the Lawrence Country Club course, and the tennis matches on the courts southwest of the stadium.
Washburn opened their tennis season Saturday afternoon when they scored a 4-2 victory over the Kansas State netmen. Feature match of the meet here should be the singles match between John Christner, Ichabod number one man, and Howard Engleman, Jayhawk star. Christner defeated the Kansas State number one man, Thornborough, 6-0, 6-2.
Engleman, Franks, and Floyd will play singles tennis matches tomorrow afternoon and one doubles team will be Engleman and Floyd. The other members of the team have not been definitely decided upon, said Coach "Dutch" Uhrlaub this morning.

DON'T FORGET THE RELAYS!
1939 Decathlon Winner Back to Defend Title
A decathlon champion who won his title by the narrowest margin in history, will face an even stronger field than last year at the Eighteenth Annual Kansas Relays, Friday and Saturday.
However, E. Lee Todd, the defending champion, figures to improve his performance this time also. He is now taking graduate work at the University of Colorado and has been training for the decathlon since the start of school last fall.
Last year Todd was teaching school in Nebraska and did not have the facilities for training that he has at Colorado. He also has the helpful assistance of Coach Frank Potts of C. U. now.
Chief threats to Todd's supremacy in the ten-event test are Walter Arrington, lanky Negro star from Michigan State, and Ted Billings, captain of the Colorado College team. Russell Bradford, Iowa State Teachers ace, looms as a dark horse.
Arrington is exceptionally good in the jumps and should do well in the running events. He has high jumped 6 feet 4 inches and broad jumped 2 feet 3-4 inches. If he can make a fair showing in the weight events, Arrington should run up quite a point total.
'One Pitch' Frank Opens Eighth Ball Game Today
More than 30,000 government officials, congressmen, politicians, ball players and fans were on hand to see if he had lost his "stuff."
Washington. April 16.—(UP)— "One pitch" Franklin D. Roosevelt, his future still in doubt, opened his eighth and perhaps last baseball season at Griffith Stadium today.
Clark Griffith, president of the Washington nationals, "scouted" Mr. Roosevelt at the White House last week and pronounced him ready.
Flanked by his military and naval aides, Mr. Roosevelt tossed out the first ball to start the game between the senators and the Boston Red Sox.
The Weather
Showers tonight and Wednesday turning to snow in west portion Wednesday and in the extreme west tonight. Cooler.
Billings, a senior at Colorado College, won the septathlon held at Boulder last week. His best events are the pole vault, high jump and high hurdles.
Twelve men had entered the decathlon by April 13 and additional entries were expected soon. The men entering were Walter Arrington, Michigan State; Russell Bradford, Iowa State Teachers; Ted Billings, Colorado College; Orville Bonham, unattached, Harper, Kan.; W. L. Clapham, unattached, Los Angeles, Calif.; LeRoy Floyd, Oklahoma A. & M.; Woodrow Hutchinson, New Mexico Normal; Charles Larson, Culver-Stockton College; Donald Menning, Central College, Pella, Iowa; John Mitchell, Oklahoma City University; Ralph Tate, unattached, Stillwater, Okla.; and E. Lee Todd, unattached, Boulder, Colo.
Todd has competed in the decathlon twice, finishing third in 1938 and nosing out Clarence Odell of Oklahoma A. & M. for first place last year. The finish of the ten event contest was sensational, with Todd winning by only five points, 6557 to 6552 for Odell. The A. & M. star outscored Todd on the final two events, but did not quite catch up with him.
K.U. Table Tennis Team Defeats K.C.U., 4 to 3
The University of Kansas table tennis team, sponsored by the Memorial Union activities committee won four matches out of seven against the University of Kansas City team Sunday.
In the men's singles bracket, Harry Peterson, c'42, lost to Howard Fowkkes; Bill Martin, c'43, defeated Dan Robinson; Morris Keyser, c'40, lost to Fred Grantham; Lloyd Heiberg, c'42, defeated Irwin Raines.
Doris Johnson, c40, lost to her opponent in women's singles.
The doubles games were won by a close margin by the K.U. teams. Keyser and Peterson defeated Grantham and Fowlkes in the first game. Heiberg and Martin won over Raines and Robinson.
Plans for making these table tennis matches an annual event are being made and it is hoped that by next year other universities will compete.

Mathes, Hamilton Run 9.7 Second Century Dash
"Now I've been watching you fellas all the time and I know what you're doing. I believe you'd make a good hurdler," track coach Bill Hargiss tells an exceptional piece of material in a warm-up suit.
"That?" says a bystander, "Why that's Sanneman. He's a good man but he's ineligible."
And then the onlooker's expectant face droops. Bill Knight, a real javelin thrower, stands in the same light in the eyes of the college office officials.
"Crip" Ray Harris will not be able to run in the Kansas Relays Saturday. For the past two weeks he has been trodding over the cinders at the medium race track trying to force his shattered instep into a running position, but it seems only to drag.
In one of the fastest races run this year by any K.U. runners, Darrell Mathes and Kenny Hamilton yesterday afternoon sped down the straight-a-way in a 100-yard dash in 9:7.5 seconds, which is just $3\frac{1}{2}$ tenths of a second slower than the world's record in this event.
"Whew,"says a bystander, "that guy's good. Who is he?"
Mathes ran nearly three yards ahead of Hamilton until the finish, when Hamilton pressed his opponent to the tape. Mathes touched the line first, but Hamilton was so close behind him that he snapped it in two. This is the best race Hamilton has ever run, he claims. Mathes once before ran a 9.7 seconds 100-yards.
a special 220-yard dash, Bill Greene headed the winner list above two others. His time was 23.8 seconds.
Several 60 - second quarter-miles were dashed off yesterday by Ed-Hadis, Thompson, and Greene.
Bob Lorenzen, a thin Lawrence lad, practiced on the high jump with Sanneman. Lorenzen jumped 6 feet, while Sanneman cleared 6 feet 3 inches. Both are ineligible, but should prove valuable next season.
Even though Captain Harris will be unable to run in the four-mile relay Saturday, a team which is expected to pull through the ranks with a possible blue ribbon, is that of Ryan, Thompson, Hatfield, and Edwards. All of these men run under a 4:30 mile consistently. The four expect to hit a 17 minute 50 second stride in their combined four riles in the relays.
Bill Bevan and Jack O'Hara did some pole vaulting, but did not attempt any records. Smoothing out in nice form, they easily made 11 feet.
r. Allen Speaks at Topeka High
Ralph Miller, a hurdler, and Herb Hartman, a shot-putter will not compete in the Relays.
Don Thompson and Dick Edwards, distance runners, the mainstays of the track squad, ran several laps together yesterday, getting down 'pat,' an already fast style of running.
*This same team will run the two-mile relay the same day.*

Women's Intramurals
By CECIL KING
Watkins hall, I.N.D., and Pi Phi were winners of the three women's intramural baseball games played yesterday afternoon on the intramural field.
Watkins trampled Miller hall 20 to 6 and scored a total of five home runs. Helen Wilson pitched for Watkins and Mary Green and Lillian Fisher shared the position of catcher. Elnora Hilst and Louise Trautwein were the battery for Miller.
T.N.T. lost to I.N.D. 12 to 22 in their first game of the season.
Mickie Learnard, Geardine Ulm,
and Dorothy Smith were the battery for T.N.T., Lois Wisler and
Kathryn Schaake for I.N.D.
With Dennie Lemoine as pitcher and Virginia Anderson as catcher the Pi Phi team defeated Gamma Phi 29 to 21. Sarah Fair and Margerie Hiembrook were catcher and pitcher for Gamma Phi.

Roosevelt: War Monger or Savior?
While President Roosevelt's Pan-American speech yesterday with its determination "to live in peace and make that peace secure" may give a ray of hope to Americans, the ghost of the bellicose "quarantine" oration given at Chicago in 1937 rises to haunt and to deny the President's words, branding him as a man who "hates war" but who hates aggressors more.
On October 5,1937, Roosevelt virtually declared war. With superb crusading zeal, the President jutted out his jaw to announce that the "good" nations must unite in "concerted effort in opposition to those violations of treaties and those ignorings of humane instincts which today are creating a state of international anarchy and instability from which there is no escape through mere isolation or neutrality." Great Britain, France, and the United States were the good nations, while Japan, Germany, and Italy—Russia had not yet turned cannibal—were the nations to be coerced into being good. The "good" nations are now at war with Germany. Does the President still believe in "quarantine"?
It is possible Mr. Roosevelt was bluffing. This naive country squire may have thought threats from a United States president sufficient to stop warlike nations. If so, he made a useless and harmful gesture. On the other hand he may have meant what he said at Chicago. Mr. Roosevelt sent representatives to the Brussels conference against aggressors, a conference in which our diplomats seemed to urge the British on against Japan with the prospect of the United States falling in behind; in Wilsonian style he held the Japanese strictly accountable for American life and property; he flaunted our navy in the face of the Japanese while proposing a large increase in naval armaments; and above all, he continued his preachments against the aggressors, preachments that have remained unabated to this day. If the President was bluffing, he gave every indication of having the power to back his bluff—with war.
Today, however, the situation has changed. Public opinion is overwhelmingly against anything that looks like participation in the European war. Election year prevents the war-like statements of 1937; the number of "bad" nations has increased making even the most zealous crusader think before making rash statements.
Most terrifying of all is the fact that in the President's hands lies the responsibility of whether or not 130,000,000 people will be plunged into war. Knowing this, President Roosevelt's statement that the American Republics could save eventual peace "only if we are prepared to meet force with force if challenge is ever made" assumes monumental importance. It is the President whose decisions, actions, and preachments can precipitate that
With all these facts confronting him, the President of 1940 has changed little from the President of 1937. The crusading spirit has been tempered by experience, but the belief that the United States can resolve the troubles of chaotic Europe remains. While making the sensible statement to the Pan-American Union that "Peace reigns among us today because we have agreed, as neighbors should, to mind our own business," Mr. Roosevelt harbors the desire to mind the business of Europe.
challenge. What the challenge is, no one knows. It could be invasion of the western hemisphere or a losing Allied cause. Until the progress of events reveals that answer the United States will never know whether it has had as president a war monger or a savior.

The Nazis are raging over the picture that shows Sumner Welles and French Premier Paul Reynaud standing before a map that allegedly is an arrangement of the Reich's "Swan Song." At the worst, Welles and Reynaud could only be infringing upon a German copyrighted idea.

The current Colliers' editorial page pours out paeans of praise to the United States youths who are enlisting for service in the war. The editors gave a lot of idealistic reasons for the enlistments but left out the chief reason: the youths are going because of a lack of anything to do in the U. S. More will go if they happen to believe Colliers' almost criminal poppycock.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By Marilyn McBride
P. S.G.L. and Pachaacamac . . . two parties but not a clear cut issue between them, or at least not an issue that could be publicized. Campus politics is a small-scale model of national politics . . . mostly blamery and living up behind the coalition band-wagon. Professor Chubb sums up political parts in this adequate statement: "The Democratic and Republican parties are like two identical bottles ... with different labels . . . both empty."

Last week Dean Moreau of Law School became a senior partner . . . he has a baby son. Some legal wit posted this notice on the bulletin-board at Green: "Wanted 81 godfathers."

The War from the Side-lines: "Punch" magazine, the London equivalent of America's "New Yorker," says: "Morale is something invented about 25 years ago as an instrument of warfare which can be claimed by either side as belonging exclusively to itself and entirely wanting in the other side." In Paris L'Illustration says: "An army that goes forward is much more likely to be hit than an army which stays in a hole and shoots!"

It is an odd world we live in, a man gets money, he is a grafter. If he keeps it, he's a capitalist. If he spends it, he's a play-boy. If he doesn't get it, he's a n'er-do-well. If he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it, he's a parasite. And if he accumulates it after a life-time of hard-work and dies without enjoying it, he's a sucker.

What they say: "Being educated means to prefer the best not only to the worst, but to the second best. It means in music to prefer Beethoven not only to jazz, but to Brahms. So it is in all forms of art, in athletics politics, in everything." (W. L. Phelps).
"Although I haven't had time for much flying lately and my pilot's license has since expired, I think that once the knowledge is acquired it is easy to remember to fly a plane," says Professor Hay.
University aeronautical training is probably one of the few in the United States that has the right to boast that its entire body can fly, even including the faculty who teach the ground courses. Prof. E. D. Hay, head of the training course, has flown some 10 or 12 hours since receiving his instruction 12 years ago.
Professor Hay took his flight training nearly 12 years ago, shortly after he came to the University as a professor of mechanical engineering. He received his instruction from two pilots of the Braniff airways in Kansas City. Completing the required course, he received his pilot's license.
Hill Air Training Hits 100 per cent E. D. Hay Is Influential
One of the high lights of his experiences in the air that Professor Hay tells about, is that of two years ago when a three-motored plane was taking up passengers around Lawrence. "Since I was the only passenger on the flight, the pilot let me take the controls for part of the flight," related Mr. Hay.
Rembrandt Original On Display in Museum
Did you know that the University owned the original Rembrandt etching "The Almsgiver"? This work of the Flemish master is a part of the William B. Thayer collection presented in 1917 and installed in Spooner-Thayer museum in 1926. It is now on display in the print room.
Though better known for his paintings, Rembrandt is also recognized as a great etcher. Just how many etchings may be credited to him is a controversial matter, but
they seem to follow a logical classification as to type. "The Almsgiver," completed in 1648, falls into a group of studies from real life of beggars and other such picturesque types.

Representatives from student chapters over the country will attend the meeting which is being held in the Hotel Continental in Kansas City.
Thursday morning the convention will resume with a talk on "Ethics of the Engineer," by Mr. D. W. Mead, past president of the A.S.C.E. and a graduate of the University and also an address by Mr. W. E. Jessup, field secretary, on "Student Chapter Conferences."
Registration will begin at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning and in the afternoon a University representative will welcome the students. A dance will be held in the evening for all civil engineers present.

Dr. Eiseley Gets $2700 Fellowship
Dr. Loren C. Eiseley, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology, received official notice yesterday that he has been awarded a post-doctoral research training fellowship for a period of twelve months, beginning September, 1940.
The fellowship, which carries a stipend of $2700 in addition to traveling expenses, was awarded by the Social Science Research Council of New York City.
Given only to social scientists who hold the Ph. D. degree or equivalent, post-doctoral awards are limited to
IRELAND'S FOURTH CONFERENCE OF THE UNION HOLSTER STATE FEDERAL LEAGUE
LOREN COREY EISLEY
those applicants whose scientific standing and program for advanced research meet the rigorous requirements of the Social Science Research Council. Not more than ten post-doctoral awards are made annually throughout the United States.
Dr. Eiseley, who came to the University of Kansas in 1937, is requesting a leave of absence for the coming year, in order to carry on work in physical anthropology, a field in which he has been interested for some time. While details of his plans have not yet been entirely settled, it is probable that he will conduct his research at Harvard or Columbia, institutions which excell in this branch of anthropology. Under the terms of the grant, it is possible for the recipient to choose his place of study, and, if he wishes, to work at more than one institution.
Entries Due for Cue Contest
Entries for the Co-ed Cue tournament, sponsored by the Memorial Union student activities committee, will be received at the hostess desk until noon tomorrow.
The tournament will begin Thursday in the women's recreation room of the Memorial Union building.

Only League leader to speak over the public address system was C. H. Mullen, now president of the Men's Student Council. Mullen told the alleged crowd he hoped no one would start any fights or demonstrations. No one did. The crowd which cheered each of the Pachacamac candidates was practically all Pachacamac and could find no one to fight with.

The sound truck drew up north of Spooner-Thayer shortly after 7 o'clock. The crowd began to arrive and listened attentively to a few of the truck's renditions such as "Ma, He's Makin" Eyes at Me."

Malott Says, "No, Boys"
During the afternoon's ballyhoo, campaigners on the Pachacamac bandwagon ran into difficulty with the authorities when Chancellor Deane Malott called a few of "the boys" in for a conference. Malott requested that politicos refrain from blowing their horns during class hours. A motorcycle cop pulled up alongside the truck too, but what the law was after was not disclosed.
Old heads in the Hill political family had little to say about yesterday's demonstration. The idea was good, they said, but not like the "good old days."

Name Relays Queen
Plonde Helen Johnson, c'41 has been selected to reign as queen of the eighteenth annual Kansas Relays Saturday afternoon. Her Royal Highness Johnson will be attended by Becky Trembly, c'43, and Marjorie Heimbrook, fa'41.
The presiding royalty for the athletic event was selected by the Nebraska track team which will be on hand Saturday to see its choice and her comely ladies-in-waiting in the flesh.
The Huskers intentions to carry off several relay trophies will probably become a matter of secondary interest after viewing the three cute Jayhawk coeds who were picked from nine University women. The Nebraska men selected Miss Johnson from photographs of candidates submitted to them.
The reigning beauty and her feminine escort will be presented to Relay officials, visiting dignitaries, and spectators from the queen's stand accompanied by the usual camera flashes of amateur and professional photographers.

Bob McKay Wins Race 941 to 940
By Roscoe Born, c'41
A second count of ballots which awarded Bob McKay the M.S. C. presidency will be made Friday, political leaders said today.
Final vote was 941 to 940 but bulletins which announced five results in as many minutes kept the crowd in the Memorial Union lobby on edge.
But McKay knew how to use his School of Business too and when the returns from that district (II) came in,McKay had moved up close behind Farmer.
McKay's School Helps Him
The count was close all the way. Backed by his own School of Law, Farmer sailed through District I. He managed to win comfortably in the College, thereby leading the race after two turns.
The crowd in the lobby knew victory was still possible for either candidate in the remaining votes of the engineer's District III.
When hard-working counters in the ballroom sent down results in the crucial district, the figures in the lobby gave Farmer the victory with votes to spare.
On the heels of the first report came two more, cutting Farmer's lead to two votes.
Fifth Return Does It
The next report moved McKay into the lead by two votes and the fifth return showed previous figures incorrect—McKay won by a single ballot.
While dazed sympathizers cheered the victory for both sides, a hurried re-check was made but the totals still stood—941 to 940
Farmer left almost immediately. McKay said he had no comment to make on the outcome and he too left the crowd.
No assurance was given today that the recount would disclose any error and accord the victory to Farmer. W. R. Maddox, professor of political science who supervised the counting, said the result "was not beyond possibility of error," but added that counters had "more of a feeling of accuracy than we have ever felt before."

Seth Gray, Pachacamac whip, said the race was closer than he expected and considered it "still undecided." Bob Marietta,

April showers and driving winds on Mt. Oread today dampened Hill activities and sent students scurrying for shelter. But social festivities, which last night gave way to the anti-climax of the slow-moving political campaign, will have a mid-week rejuvenation in the hour dance in the Memorial Union ballroom with Dale Brodie's boys on the band stand. Engineers are still keeping their end of the Campus, as well as their queen, surrounded in a veil of mystery and a bevy of preparations for the Engineering Exposition and the $
Engineering Exposition and the Hobnail Hop.

Women Give Leap Year Advice
Mary Miller in the Co-eed leap year edition of the Purdue Exponent gives the following advice to girls who are out to get a man this year:
Stay away from fencers, because they will either parry your attacks or retreat from your advances.
You haven't a chance against runners either, because they will hurdle right over your pitfalls.
Golfers usually have such a strong drive that they will go through your strongest trap.
Good football men, who are great tacklers can crash any line you put before them.
When you start saying pretty remarks to a baseball player he will just hurl them to one side and go unscathed.
If you must get a man, you had better pick a student (the man who spends all of his time on the books). When you pelter him with your advance fire, he will be too bewildered to withstand all your charm because he doesn't know all the tricks of the trade.
A basketball man is always on guard for a fast break. They are too good on defense.
The Harriet Greissinger Brown collection of 200 books, presented to Spooner-Thayer museum last spring, has been catalogued and placed in the Thayer library. The books were collected by Mrs. Brown when she toured Europe and are concerned with travel, art, and architecture.

Ducats for 'Sing'n Swing' On Sale in Green Hall
Tickets for "Sing 'n Swing", the W.S.G.A.'s gal and gag production which opens in Fraser theater April 23, went on sale at the Green hall ticket office this morning amid repeated warnings that the musical comedy would be shown only three nights.
Mindful of the dozens who were unable to see "Holiday" when it played four nights last week, Jean Robertson, c41, emphasized today that students should reserve their tickets early for "Sing'n Swing" because of the three-night limitation.
Kentucky Coeds Tell Dislikes
The girls at the University of Kentucky recently published in the "Kentucky Kernal" a list of the things which they dislike about men:
"Their absence.
"Their habit of turning up with an extra man in tow and expecting you to produce a blind date, bang, like that.
"Their trick of using you as a battering ram on a postage stamp dance floor.
"Their happy confidence in their conversational ability which often as not is a lusty rendition of whatever they're majoring in.
"Their assumption of savoir faire (this for freshmen) and lugging you about on a gay round of fun when you suspect all along that it's their father's tux.
"Their shocked glances at spectacular fingernails, cigarettes, and anything with slightly more stamina than pink lemonade.
"Their phone calls at weird hours when you're either immersed in suds, batting your brains out over a mid-term or dressing for a date—with someone else.
"Their ill-corsealed disapproval when you regard their roommate with anything other than motherly affection.
"Their presence."

When a bill for funds to provide a gymnasium for Kansas University appeared in the senate, Miller nudged his father, who was at that time state senator and chairman of the Ways and Means committee.
Summerfield Candidates To Hill Next Monday
Thirty-two high school seniors representing schools in 17 Kansas towns will come to Lawrence Monday and Tuesday to make final bids for Summerfield scholarships awarded each year to potential students.

Preyer's Concert Well Attended
Carl A. Preyer, professor of piano in the School of Fine Arts, was honored Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium by a program of his own compositions. Approximately 100 persons were present to hear the best of his works, composed during his 50 years in music.
Probably the high spot on the program was a piano solo by Miss Ruth Orcutt, "Koncertstueck." Also well received was Miss Lucile Wagner of Iola, a former pupil, who played two of his more modern piano numbers, "Ballade," and "Toccata."
DON'T FORGET THE RELAYS!

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1940.
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
The time is really getting near for the big Relays. Yes sir, ONLY THREE MORE DAYS UNTIL THE KANSAS RELAYS. Just think, celebrities, splendid athletes, world record holders, the Governor, and last, but certainly not least, the Queen of the 1940 Kansas Relays, Kappa's Helen Johnson.
Boy, I really get worked up every time I think of the excitement that will be prevalent that day. Saturday is the day, but if you want to see a bit extra for your money, drop down, on Friday, and get an eyeful of the high school meet.
It looks as if the special mile is really going to be a race, with such participants as Glenn Cunningham, Archie San Romani, and those popular Rideout twins. After Cunningham's 4:15 mile last Sunday afternoon, it looks like Glenn is finally going to put on a show for K.U. fans. Hargiss predicts a 4:10 mile for his protege, but having a memory of his past performances here, with a faster field, I'll not lay a bet on the Hargiss prediction.
Only 3 More Days 'Til Kansas Relays
A warrior is running.
Featuring two javelin throwers with records of better than 210 feet.
UP IN THE AIR about pole vaulting is Cony Warmerdam, who is now representing the San Francisco Athletic Club. Warmerdam, a former Fresno State star, took his vaulting pole in hand and sailed to a new world's record in that event by going 15 feet even. The former record was held jointly by Sefton and Meadows, of Southern California, of 14 feet 11 inches.
A CHARACTER ON THE DIAMOND is none other than the K.U football tackle, Monte Merkel. The heavy tackle plays catcher for Getto's batsmen and up till this time blonde monte is leading the Kansas batting averages.
DON'T FORGET——to get your activity books turned in to the athletic office in exchange for tickets to the Kansas Relays . . . Activity books alone will admit you to the high school meet Friday, but you must have exchanged tickets for the big meet Saturday . . . DON'T FORGET . . .
Someone around here, in a stew about the Relays, suggested that we change the 100-yard dash to the 100-yard free style because of the weather.
IN A CRACK-UP was LeRoy Vieth, an A.T.O. intramural baseball player, who suffered a broken leg in an opening tilt with the Phi Psi diamond team. Vieth was on his way to second base, when he collided with Don Powell, Psi short-stop . . . Result of the smash-up, a broken leg.
Weather May Halt Tiger Game Today Horack Is Kansas Pitcher If Battle Isn't Called Hargiss Predicts Fast Mile For Cunningham
Columbia, Mo., April 17—(Special) Still hoping to gain a split in the two-day series with Missouri and get back over the .500 mark in the Big Six standings, Coach Mike Getto this afternoon sent southpaw Henry Horak to the firing line and charged him with the job of silencing the Tiger bats, which yesterday pounded out a 9 to 6 victory over the Jayhawks.
Knute Kresie's mates gave him a two-run lead in the first inning but the Kansas hurler couldn't hold it. After going hitless in the first inning the Tigers nicked him for one run in the second and another in the third when Paul Christman, Missouri first baseman, stole home. Missouri picked up one more run in the fourth and bagged a cluster of four in the fifth.
BULLETIN
Reports received from Columbia at 10 o'clock this morning indicated that the weather was cloudy, but it was not raining.
At 2:30 this afternoon, the Kansan had not been notified if the game had been postponed.
Blast Miles Out
Trailing by a score of 7 to 2 in the seventh, the Jayhawks rallied for two runs, and although they weren't able to pull abreast of the Tigers, they enjoyed the satisfaction of blasting Carl Miles, Missouri captain, from the mound. Miles was replaced by Frank Graham, who gave up two more runs in the eighth.
Eldreth Cadwalader provided one of the bright rays which shone through the Kansas defeat as he snapped out of a batting slump, which had held him in its grasp so far this season, and drove across half of his team's runs.
Noel Hair, converted pitcher who now plays right field, and Bill Crane, Tiger second baseman, led the assault on Kresie. Hair drove in three runs, while Crane clicked off an equal number of hits.
A.T.O. Breaks Leg In Softball Game
LeRoy Vieth, b'41, fractured both bones in his lower left leg yesterday afternoon in an intramural softball game.
Vieth broke his leg when he slid into second base. The game was between his fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega, and Phi Kappa Psi.
The accident occurred about 5 p.m. Vieth was taken immediately to Watkins Memorial hospital in the A.T. O. station wagon. Hospital attendants reported today that Vieth's condition was good and that he was fairly comfortable.
Magazine Sponsors Contest For University Students
For students with journalistic tendencies, Scribner's Commentator is sponsoring a contest for college students, offering as first prize a position on the magazine staff from June to October. The second prize is $200; third, $50; and 16 prizes of $25 each comprise the remaining awards.
Don Boydston To Jump for World Record
A new world record in the high jump is the goal at which Don Boydston, sensational Oklahoma A. & M. sophomore, will shoot at in the Eighteenth Annual Kansas Relays here Saturday.
That was almost a month ago and with considerable work under his belt since then, the A. & M. jumper should be in even better form. The world record which he will shoot at is the 6 feet 9-3-4 inches mark set by Cornelius Johnson and David Albritton in 1936.
The lanky Cowboy star made the second best leap ever made by a white man outdoors when he leaped 6 feet 8 1-4 inches early this season. Boydston then tried for a world record, with the bar at 6 feet 10 inches, and almost made it on two of his three tries.
Boydston's rise to the top in collegiate track circles has been sensational. As a high school boy, his best jump was 6 feet 1 inch. Last year, as a freshman at A. & M. the tall boy began to get going.
He jumped 6 feet 4 3-4 inches, far higher than expected. This spring he started the season with a bang by leaping 6 feet 7 inches in the Cowboy interclass meet.
Boydston can expect plenty of competition here, at least until he gets up into the stratosphere, as three other crack high jumpers also will be in the field. They are Dick Schnacke of Iowa State, Jim Smith of Northwestern, and Walter Arrington of Michigan State.
Snackne is the defending champion, having won last year with a leap of 6 feet 51-2 inches. The former Topeka high school star also is the Big Six champion in the high jump.
Smith tied for first at the Big Ten indoor meet this winter with a jump of 6 feet 4 inches. Arrington made a similar leap to share the championship in the high jump at the I.C.-4A meet last year.
Snackne's jump of 6 feet 5 1-2 inches last spring carried on something which is getting to be a tradition at the Kansas Relays. He was the sixth straight winner here who leaped 6 feet 5 inches or higher in taking the event.
His predecessors were Gill Cruter, Colorado, 1938 and 1936; Vickery, Texas, and Stevens, KSTC, Pittsburg, 1937; Philson, Drake, 1935, and Stambach, KCTS Pittsburgh, 1934.
DON'T FORGET THE RELAYS!
The fastest mile Glenn Cunningham has ever run in the middlewest is predicted for him Saturday by his coach, "Bill" Hargiss.
Glenn is in his finest shape of the season for the invitation mile run at the Kansas Relays, which brings together Cunningham, Blaine Rideout, Wayne Rideout and Archie San Romani.
Taking advantage of the perfect track weather which prevailed Sunday afternoon, Glenn ran a full mile against the best Jayhawk varsity distance runners.
A. D. HUNTINGTON
Running well within himself and taking it easy on the last two laps, Cunningham breezed home in 4:14.7 seconds. He was not pushed in 4:14.7 finishing half a lap ahead of Dick Edwards, rangy Kansas sophomore who was second. Don Thompson, another sophomore, was third .
That Glenn is in the finest shape he has enjoyed for some time, was

evinced by his time for the first two laps. He blazed the first quarter in 58 seconds and sailed past the half-mile mark in 2:03. A second half-mile like the first would have given him a 4:06 mile, but Glenn took it easy on the last two laps, not extending himself at all.
Glenn Really Training
The former University ace has been training hard for the race, as it will be the last time he will run at the Kansas Relays. Two workouts a day have been his schedule since he started training for the meet.
Cunningham, who relies on Hargiss for advice and instruction as much now as he did when he was in school, has pleased his coach very much with the form he has shown in training.
Expect 4:10 Mile
"Glenn should run that mile in 4:10 or faster Saturday", says Hargiss. The time of the race will depend partly on how fast a pace is set.
If Blaine Rideout runs the same type of race Saturday that he ran in winning the National A.A.U. championship last summer, the time should be very fast. In that race Blaine poured on a terrific pace and held a lead of almost 30 yards at the start of the last lap. The blistering pace took its toll on Rideout in the last lap, but he had just enough left to cross the finish line the winner by a yard.

Boy Breaks Leg In Phi Psi-A.T.O. Baseball Game
Probably the softball game that caused the most excitement yesterday afternoon was the Phi Psi A.T. O. game. While running toward second base, LeRoy Vieth, A.T.O. first baseman crashed headlong into Don (Potsy) Powell, and suffered a broken leg. It was a freak accident, but many who viewed the play said that it could have been avoided if the ground had been sufficiently smooth to permit sliding. These fields are in bad shape and something should be done to lessen the chance for a reoccurance.
The Phi Psi's won the game 19-5. Ralph Miller pitched a fine game, and his mates were strong with the stick to give him a lead from the start.
cacia showed its power against umma Kappa Sigma team by winning 20-1. Villee pitched a two-hit game for the winners and was able to send six men down swinging.
Delta Tau Delta put Phi Gam away to the tune of 11-4 by the strong hitting of Learmoth and Cluster.
Stipp, the Sigma Nu pitcher of reknown, led his team to a 13-5 victory over the Sig Ep team. The Sig Ep batters never could seem to get a good hold of the elusive curves of Stipp.
After showing up late for the battle, Dunakin club didn't have enough strength left to ophit the Hillside gang, and lost the game 6-8.
Pairings for Table Tennis Tournament Announced
Pairings for the women's table tennis tournament, sponsored by the Memorial Union activities committee, were announced last night by Winford Ferry, e'40, intramural chairman. Bracketing in the men's division will be posted at the hostess desk this afternoon.
Results of the first and second round in the women's division are due by 6 p.m. Saturday. Games will be played in either the Kansas room or the women's recreation room.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
Health Measure Needs Teeth
Examination of food handlers would meet with little opposition from Lawrence restaurants and cafes, a preliminary survey has shown, but an effective and concerted movement toward the public health measure would require compulsion, which could only be obtained through a city ordinance and adequate city facilities for conducting the examinations.
At present, then, it appears that all that is lacking is initiative. The student health service, through its director, Dr. R. I. Camuteson, has made available facilities for the examinations. The Pan-Hellenic councils are requiring the examination of food handlers in organized houses, and several boarding houses have volunteered to cooperate in the plan. But the protection offered applies only to about one-fourth of the students attending the University; and it is a vulnerable protection at best, for whatever
University students think student government doesn't amount to anything. That was what the Germans thought about theirs before Hitler took over.
Favorable response to the examinations was expressed by the owners of restaurants immediately adjacent to the campus, and a similar attitude prevailed at several downtown eating places. Several, however, were reluctant to have their employees examined on the grounds that such action might possibly be construed as an admittance that some person in their employ might have tuberculosis, and thus hurt their business. Another restaurant owner said he was willing to have his employees examined if others would cooperate.
With nine of a group of nineteen Californians, "sunburned and disillusioned," leaving their British West Indies island of ideal existence last week because it was too densely populated by wild jackasses, it is time for complaining Kansans to offer mute thanks that their state of blowing dust, spoiled-child weather, and K.U. football teams—all issues included—still has its compensations.
★ ★ ★
Nertz to Paradise
If foreign correspondent Leland Stowe can be believed, Norwegian officials sold their own country out to the Nazi's. Hope the United States doesn't get the silly idea of buying it back for them.
The Sunflower state lacks several of the sore spots of the universe. Missouri hasn't decided that she needs "lebensraum." Ham and Eggers to us are just another faction of California's lunatic-fringe. And Kansas has never been accredited, even in Dr. Ise's "Sod and Stubble" with wild donkey-clan bed fellows, eat-fellows, and play-fellows—at least in the anatomical sense—such as the Eldorado-seekers found in Southern waters.
The eyes of Kansans who dreamed toward California or a "little island somewhere" as an earthly paradise should now be turned homewards. Those visionaries should now realize what experience has proved: That there is no Eden, so-called, in the world that hasn't its share of malaria, tarantulas, cocoanut-dropping monkeys, sand fleas, or something equally as annoying.
★ ★ ★
good accomplished is undone whenever the student eats at a restaurant in which the food handlers have not been examined. All eating places must have the examinations if tuberculosis is to be effectively guarded against.
So far as the city of Lawrence is concerned, an ordinance requiring tuberculosis examination of food handlers would be a distinct advantage. The progressiveness and prestige of any city is measured in a large part by the laws that protect those who live within its bounds.
★ ★ ★
And then there's the Reporting I student who didn't write a news story because he could not think of a plot.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By Marilyn McBride
Jiminy Cricket, the conscience with the A. Woollott manner, steals the show from Pinocchio in the season's best movie. Hollywood may produce flickers by the ton and insist on showing them two at a sitting, but unfortunately there is only one Disney.
The Anglo-French purchasing mission was successful . . . the neutral U.S. will release a billion dollars worth of American warplanes of the new Martin F-4 type . . . this light bomber has not yet become available in quantity for the American army and navy. Cash-and carry! Dubious is the outcome of one-sided neutrality.
Roosevelt cancelled his usual press conference yesterday to open the official baseball season. . . America's favorite sport is running adequate competition to Europe's favorite sport, and what a difference in result. Throwing pop-bottles and yelling at the ampire is one way of letting off steam, dropping bombs and invading neutrals is another game entirely.
Popular music has come a long way since the days of moonlight and roses when current lyrics expand the sentimental ballad vocabulary with phrases like: chili con carne, oysters, and sneeze!
Says John Gunther: "The Trojan horse of espionage and under-cover work which preceded the Germans into Norway had led to a false assumption on the part of the Nazi
command . . . they expected no Norwegian resistance.” “If Italy becomes an active axis-partner and invades Greece, Britain will be in a rather embarrassing position as Greece's ally."
Another year . . . another MSC election. After all the tumult and shouting about student liberty and student rights, the men were expected to fight their way to the poll but the usual lethargy is still functioning . . . and the number of city cast was average.
One man's poison is another's meat, so it's champagne, grand pianos and automobiles for British fishermen who are willing to take the risk of mines, warships, submarines, and bombing planes. Ordinary fishermen who formerly eked out a bare living are now making $30,000 for the 16-week season.
Noel Coward Play
The ladies in literature all 'save the knacks
Of arrogant answers and glamorous cracks;
Then men are caraptured by what they can do
And always provide them an elegant cue*
The men that I know are an uin-
spired lot
Who let conversation go sadly to pot.
And though I think up remarks that would slay them.
They never afford me a reason to say them . . .
Ears Burning?---
Hill women's ears should be burning because for the past week Ye Ed of Hereabout has been learning a lot about them. Some of the opinionated remarks have been rather critical while others were quite compliment- made a rather ambiguous remark: ary. "I resent gum chewing in my face".
Women Put in Pan By Campus Observers
No poll would be complete without Richard CappCann, c'40, voicing his erudite opinion. MappCann thought awhile before he orated. "Truly modern girl has succeeded in dragging herself down to something called equality. She sits in coke joints, puffs the air full of smoke, slops up her beer, and shouts with laughter, protesting that she knows a joke a lot filthier than he does. All I've got to say is—I'm glad there are a 'few' of the other kind left." Well that was about enough to say.
A. D. Weaver, local merchant, practically nullified Poor Richard's cynical attitude with "College girls never do anything wrong. They are delightful." Ye Ed was beginning to hear things she had never heard before.
That dilettante of femininity, Jimmy Robertson, c'40, had something to say but being in a hurry Ye Ed had to leave after the first 300 introductory words. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech and dramatic art,
Except for an aversion for women, who fail to speak first; who have a persecution complex; who let their hose sew get crooked; and who are unappreciative, Ken (Egg Noggen) Postlthwaite, is quite satisfied with women.
Probably the most positive criticism offered was that of Eliabeth Meguiar, adviser of women. "Gum chewing in public is very impolite," Miss Meguiar said. "Often girls do not speak to hostesses or ones in receiving lines. Etiquette goes deeper than observing the correct customer. The most admirable conduct emerges from fine feeling."
Becky Trembly, c'43, dislik "meow" complex of some girls. "My greatest criticism of girls is the 'cattiness' of which many are guilty."
Ye Ed, by this time, felt that she had collected enough criticism to keep all the women on the campus reforming for the remainder of the semester.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
The usual election stories come in to prove that the "quiet election" wasn't as quiet as it was advertised to be by the very raucus sound truck.
The lad on the polls who was supposed to cut the numbers off the ballots, but was caught cutting opposition ballots in two, was thrown off of the polls in short order.
There's going to be a recount on the election coming out for Pachacamac's Bob McKay by one vote. "Tis rumored that a fluroscope is to be employed after the recount to determine if any of the counters have swallowed a ballot.
Bitter over the one-vote defeat, P S.G.L. has already started some of the political planning that makes student government the faree it has become.
If the recount still holds, McKay winner the P.S.G.L. controlled council plans to elect Farmer vice-president, vote him the right to appoint committees, thus relegating McKay to the position of figure-head.
Jack Dunagin is sitting home nursing two broken finger nails, still trying to figure out a method of putting lead under his nails to mar ballots at the recount when the going gets tough.
Both parties are planning a victory banquet as usual. Even after the landslide last year in favor of P. S.G.L.'s Mullen over Pachacamac's Oakson the Pachayouknowwhat's threw a big back-slapping brawl.
We saw this yesterday. Something we'd heard of but never seen. Beer served in teapots, with cups, to University women who'd rather not sit in back of the green bottle.

Scholastic Coach Prints Elbel Story
An article entitled "Complete and Partial Round Robins", by Dr. E. R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education and supervisor of intramural sports at the University of Kansas, appears in this month's issue of the Scholastic Coach Magazine. It is a survey of method of building intramural tournaments.
"The use of simple techniques is invaluable in devising various forms of tournaments," suggests Ed Elbel.
"In the physical education department there is an increasing tendency to use round-robin and similar forms of tournaments in preference to the elimination type."
"The tournament which allows the maximum amount of play is more compatible with the educational aims of the program than those types which eliminate a defeated team from further competition."
"The elimination tournament is a device for determining the champion in the shortest possible manner, while the round-robin provides the maximum participation over a longer period of time.
Dr. Elbel describes further the various methods for arranging odd and even numbers of teams. He insists that the proper number of combinations and the correct order of play should be accomplished in a single operation.
University Economists To Be on Roundtable
Peter Palmer, Finn Jensen, and L. L. Waters, all of the School of Business staff will discuss "Economic Considerations in the War Developments" on the regular University of Kansas roundtable over station KFKU from 9:30 until 10 o'clock tomorrow night.

Hitler Demands Norway Accept Nazi Protection
Stockholm, Sweden, April 17. — (UP)—German and Norwegian forces had been fighting for more than four hours when Germany presented demands to the Norwegian government that it accept German protection, the Norwegians charged yesterday in a formal statement on "the German attack on Norway."
The statement, approximating a diplomatic "white book," said that the German demands were presented to foreign minister Halv丹 Koht at 5 am. last Tuesday, but that German warships entered the Oslo fjord about midnight and that at 12:45 am. a report was received of the warships and Norwegian batteries exchanging fire. Other German warships had arrived at west coast points, it was said.
After detailing German demands and negotiations, which ended in Norway's decision to fight, the statement ended:
A. "Barbaric War"
"The barbaric war which German authorities in this way continued had compelled the Norwegian government to keep secret the name of the place where it may be.
"But resistance has continued and the government has received assurances of military help from the Allied western powers.
"The Norwegian government believes that by cooperation with the two countries it will succeed in saving Norway for the Norwegian people."
The German minister told Koht that the Allies intended to occupy Narvik and other Norwegian points, the statement said, and that therefore Germany had begun "certain military operations to occupy strategically important places" and "thereafter would take over the defense of Norway against Britain and France."
Too Weak to Resist
Norway, the minister said, was not strong enough to resist the Allies and would not do so anyway, according to the statement.
Braeur, the minister, then presented a note containing 13 demands including that the Norwegian army cooperate with the German army, that fortifications be turned over to German troops, that mine fields should be disclosed, that all communications should be controlled by the Germans, that mail of all Baltic countries must be censored by Germany, that newspapers and the radio be put under German censorship, and that all proclamations and orders of German authorities must be published immediately, it was said.
Koht said that the Norwegian government as a whole would have to make any decision, and adhered to this despite Braeur's insistence that immediate action was necessary. Then Germany attacked Oslo, it was said, and the King and government had to flee.
Tried to See Kaakon
Next the minister sought an audidence with King Haakon, the statement said, and a delegation was named to negotiate with Germans.
The King saw Brauer at Elverum, it was said—after Norwegian troops had repulsed attacking Germans so that the king could reach the town. Brauer then demanded the appointment of a government in which Germany could have confidence, with Bidkun Quisling as premier. The king refused, on the ground that Quihling did not enjoy the confidence of the Norwegian people. Brauer, after saying that Hitler insisted on Quisling, withdrew to Eidsvold. Foreign Minister Koht then telephoned Brauer that the king was unable to approve of Quisling or a Quisling government, it was said, and added that Norway intended to resist the Germans "as long as possible."
Correction
Through some misunderstanding, the Daily Kansas yesterday quoted me as saying that Mary Noel had already been awarded a trip to the Drake Relays.
The Relays Queen has not yet been selected by the Drake University yearbook editor. Miss Noel, however, is the Jayhawker Magazine's choice for K.U.'s entry.

Peace Fast Tomorrow Noon
A "peace fast" will be held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building at 12:30 tomorrow in response to the call for a national strike against war. It is being held in cooperation with world-wide day of prayer for peace.
The money which would have been spent for luncheon will be donated to the fund for the student refugee relief in European countries and the Far East.
Following the serving of bread and water three University students will speak on some aspects of peace. They are: Mary Jane, c'41, Ellijah Cole, c'40, and Marjorie Cook, c'42.
All University students and faculty members are invited to attend.
Nine Fellowships Granted Students
Fellowships or scholarships for the purpose of advanced study at other universities have been awarded to nine Kansas University students, six of whom are now enrolled in the Graduate School, according to notices received this week by Dean Ellis B. Stouffer, head of the Graduate School.
The scholarships varied in the amount of tuition or other expenses awarded the students. If accepted, the students will begin study at the respective schools in September.
Dunbar S. McLaurin was offered a fellowship in the economics department of the University of Illinois. McLaurin received his master's degree from the University in 1938. Donald Taylor, graduate of Baker University, who will receive his master's degree at the, University this spring, was notified of a fellowship in the department of psychology at Cornell. Last year Taylor received Rhodes scholarship which he was unable to accept because of the international situation.

big man of P.S.G.L., didn't "have much to say about this tie."
If Farmer remains the loser after Friday's recount, he still retains a seat on the council as representative-at-large.
Regardless of League loss in the presidential race, P.S.G.L. will wield the power in the M.S.C. again next year. With Farmer's seat on the council, the League will have 11 votes on its side of the table. To match this, only 9 men will represent the Rising Sun wishes. McKay will find himself merely chairing a P.S.G.L. council.
P. S.G.L. Can't Lose Power
Should the recount salvage two more Farmer votes, McKay will take a regular council post and the parties will be in a 10-10 tie. Farmer's deciding vote as president will still throw the decision to P.S.G.L.
Out of 27 officers elected yesterday, the League came through with 14 successes.
Nearest thing to the tight race this year was in 1935 when P.S.G.L. elected Lyman Field by 4 votes.

Richard Stark, c'38, received a fellowship at Northwestern University. Carl Moritz, c'40, was offered a geology scholarship at Columbia University. Also from Columbia University a scholarship was offer was awarded Eugene Buchanan, candidate for A.B. and LLB. at the University this spring.

Recount Tomorrow Afternoon
The tense political situation which arose from the closeness of the race for presidencies of the Men's Student Council and the sophomore class, will be relieved at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon when a second count of the ballots will be made.
Political leaders said today that only heads of the rival parties will be present and no returns will be made public until the count is completed.

25 Coeds to Meet Here For Pep Club Convention
Twenty five Phi Sigma Chi delegates from four Middle West colleges will be guests of the Jay James in a convention of the national organization of women's pep clubs here Saturday. The delegations will represent the Municipal University of Omaha, the University of Nebraska, Kansas State, and Washburn College.
The convention will open with a business meeting at 9:30 a.m. in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building. After a business report from each chapter, the meeting will turn into a round table discussion with suggestions for improving the organization.
Also in the morning will be the initiation ceremony of the Washburn chapter which entered the organization this year. The ceremony will be conducted by Betty Kimble, c'41, acting national chairman for Winifred Jameson, b'40, who will be unable to attend.
After a special luncheon at 12:30 p.m., the delegation will be guests of the Jay Janes at the Kansas Relays in the afternoon.
Give $100 Boost To T.B. Drive
The committee arranging for the convention included Betty Kimble, Winifred Jameson, and Maurine Mong, c'40.
The money given by the county association is from the fund contributed by students and faculty members to the annual Christmas seal sale last year.
A financial boost of $100 was given the student health service's program of examination of food handlers by the Douglas County Tuberculosis and Health association, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the service, announced today.
Doctor Canuteson said that the money will be used to pay for x-ray films needed in the examination of non-student food handlers for tuberculosis.
Paul Moritz Named Honor Man At Convocation
'Keep Faith Ford Urges University
Guy Stanton Ford, president of the University of Minnesota, today told a seventeenth annual Honors Convocation audience to keep faith in the great past of the University of Kansas and its great scholars and they will face the future unafraid.
Speaking in Hoch auditorium this morning where 168 students were honored for meritorious achievement, President Ford discussed the great scholars of the University in the light of their contributions to the building of the institution's name. "It is great teachers, and great students who make a university," he said, and added, "certainly the University of Kansas has had almost more than its due share of both."
The importance of a great university in state government was emphasized when President Ford said, "behind and beyond and above any roll of individual names there arises in great majesty before the eyes of the historian of any state university, the people of the state—not one generation of founders but countless successive generations—all with the same faith in public education, even in the higher reaches beyond their understanding . . . the same faith that its maintenance is the one sure guarantee of the preservation of a people's government."

Other of the party's candidates are: Wayne Whelan, b41, vice-president; Mary McLeod, b41, secretary; and Junior Collins, b41, treasurer.

May Re-Distribute Activity Fee Funds
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, denied today that the $3.25 increase in the activity fee would all go to the Athletic Association.
At present the Athletic board receives $3.50 from the activity
The increase was not made public until yesterday, when it was noticed in new catalogs now being distributed in the registrar's office. First reports incorrectly indicated that the fee would not be redistributed and that all the increase would go to the Athletic Association. Nichols did not know today when the new quotas would be decided, but said the University Band would now be given a permanent place on the fee.
The hike was approved by the Board of Regents March 5, Nichols said, but added that the redistribution of the fee would be handled by the administration.
The fee for next fall will be $7.50 and students will pay $4.50 in the spring semester.
Fred Harris of Ottawa, chairman of the Board of Regents, said recently that the increase was made in an attempt to equalize the activity fees at the different state schools. He pointed out that students at Kansas State pay $15 yearly.
The $15 fee at Manhattan, however, includes the college paper and annual. It was believed today that the University's new $12 fee would not include those things.
No change will be made in the price of basketball season tickets here, it was said. Students will still pay $1.50 plus the regular activity fee if they are to attend basketba games.
Scholarship Awards Given 168 Students
One hundred and sixty-eight students were honored for outstanding University achievement at the seventeenth annual all-University Honors Convocation this morning in Hoch auditorium.
Paul Moritz, '39, now in China as an official of the Student Christian Federation, was named Honor Man of the class of 1939 by virtue of his allaround superiority in four qualities, scholarship, leadership, breadth of vision, and service to the University. Formerly president of the University Y.M.C.A., Moritz has been in China since last summer. Of the seniors in the upper 10 per cent scholastically, there were sixty-one from the college, eighteen from the School of Business, fifteen from the School of Engineering and Arch-

To Celebrate 50th Year
Four hundred members of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi will gather at 6:15 o'clock tonight in the Memorial Union ballroom to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the organizations at the University.
The program will include a greeting communication from Arthur Graves Canfield of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, the only living member of the charter group of Phil Beta Kappa which, along with Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fraternity, was established here April 21, 1890. Mr. Canfield, 82 years old, found it impossible to attend the banquet, but 10 years ago he delivered an address at the fortieth anniversary celebration of the honorary groups.
The program will be brief but impressive, said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, head of the department of mathematics at the University and pres-

This morning honor students of the University attracted both admiring and envious glances, the latter coming, for the most part, from those students whose afternoon mail yesterday was swelled with danger notices from the Dean's office. But with the weather man forecasting higher temperatures and sunny skies for the weekend, there seems but slight probability that Campus social life will suffer any from mid-semester reports.

Clever Bags Are Mark of Spring
Bags are getting more attention from designers and manufacturers this spring than ever before. Red ones are carried by women of all ages to give accent to dark costumes. Putty colored bags of kid are being shown to match new straw hats and some of the most durable are of calf. Among the handsomest of these is a golden brown model of reversible calf which is shaped like a large pocket, with the flap draped through the oval ring handle of water buffalo hide, which is banded in gold.
Putty colored moire is used to make many of the choicest evening bags and other moires are of white, jade, blue, and geranium and other high colors. These have bijouterie clasps of gold which are studded with semi-precious stones the color of the bag.

An old tradition will be revived tomorrow night when the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity holds its "Roundup Party" in cowboy fashion at Lake View, five miles north-west of Lawrence.
The party was known years ago as an "ATO Barn Dance." and was an annual event of the fraternity for nearly 10 years. It was discontinued in 1932.
Boots, bandannas, and 10-gallon
Linens Take Important Place In Advance Summer Showings
Lineens and linenlike mixtures are edging in on summer style exhibits and one stunning suit is of gray linen checked with a dusky pink which makes a stunning outfit. A hat of checked material is worn with this and pink gauntlet gloves. Another much acclaimed two-piece outfit shows a suit of plain linen in a mustard and beige check with gold buttons decorating the pockets and marching straight up the front. The jacket fits snugly with a military air in keeping with Fashion's ultimatum on that subject.
As to the summer silhouette—it is definitely a bloused one and pleated skirts with bloused tops are seen everywhere one finds fashionables gathered. One widely known
Paris designer glorifies the shirt-waist dress in all kinds of stunning models, showing for afternoon wear black sheers and beige lace with accordion pleated skirts, white linens, tub sill;s, tussahs, and surahs are also getting a big hand. One French fabric resembles "doupion toile," used for airplanes, in dull shades and soft falling textures.
Black satin of a soft,pleasing quality,not at all stiffish,is being chosen for street wear by women who feel that either summer or winter their wardrobe is not complete without one good looking black frock.
Dinner frocks are made of this and are a clever and practical thing to wear. Right now smart dressers
Shallow sailors are all to the good and something that clicks with feminine fancy decidedly this season are the sailors made of the same material as the frock. There are white sailors by the millions, too, of straw or fabric, with the linen ones often stitched in some contrasting shade.
Even the ticket sales of the forthcoming W.S.G.A. musical, "Sing 'n Swing," have taken on a metropolitan aspect, Jean Robertson, c'41, who is in charge of tickets, said today.
Tickets Selling Fast
Latest news from the East gives navy a three-to-one lead over black among smart daytime outfits that are being seen on the college campus. When it comes to suits, gray also is a strong color favorite, with signs of even greater popularity for fall.
Typical of the way in which the pasteboards are going is the very first sale. Yesterday morning when they went on sale, Glee Smith, c'41, took nine tickets (a whole row), Jean pointed out.
Tickets of the production, which opens next Tuesday for a three-day run in Fraser theater, are being taken, not twos and threes, Jean said, but by blocks of six and nine.
Authorized Parties
This has happened frequently enough that now Jean is worried but pleasantly so—about the intrusion of ticket scalpers, whose presence would definitely add the "New Yorker" touch.

No platform will be presented by either party in the election this year because of a ruling that abolished this practice last year. Similarly, there will be no voting tax assessed the business students, for the 25 cent charge was done away with at the same time that the platform policy was abolished.
The results of the election will be announced by Dean Frank Stockton of the School of Business at a banquet April 24, which will be a part of the "business day" program.

Business Staff Members To Appear on Roundtable
Three members of the School of Business staff will discuss "Economic Considerations in the War Developments" on the regular University of Kansas roundtable over KFKU from 9:30 until 10 o'clock tonight.
Participating in the discussion will be F. B. Jensen, a native of Norway, and Peter Palmer, who has spent most of his life in the British Empire, instructors in economics; and L. L. Waters, instructor in business organization and investments.
communication will be read from the united chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi over the nation.
The main address of the evening will be made by Dean E. B. Stouffer of the Graduate School. Dean Stouffer will discuss the subject of "The Development of Scholarship at the University of Kansas."
Officers of the two organizations, the first chapters to be established west of the Mississippi, are:
Phi Beta Kappa—President, Domenico Gagliardo, professor of economics; vice-president, Wealthy Babcock, assistant professor of mathematics; secretary, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University; and treasurer, Miss Elizabeth Rupp, secretary to the Chancellor.

Phi Beta Kappa was organized in 1776 at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Va., and now has 128 chapters with a total membership of about 110,000. During the past 50 years, the Kansas Alpha chapter has initiated a total of 1,358 members.
The Kansas chapter of Sigma Xi, formerly known as the Iota chapter, was the fourth chapter to be established in the nation. Since its founding in 1890, the membership of the local chapter has grown from six to 900. The six charter members were H. S. Bailey, L. L. Dyche, F. H. Snow, F. C. Marvin, E. Miller and L. I. Blake.
At tonight's banquet, certificates of life membership will be awarded Dr. F. E. Kester of the department of physics, who first became a member of Sigma Xi in 1899, and to Prof. W. J. Baugartner of the department of zoology, elected to the Kansas chapter in 1900.

Jayhawker-Tiger
'Beefus' Bryan to Try
For Another Record
The greatest pole vaulter who has ever competed in the Kansas Relays,
Beefus Bryan of Texas, makes his final appearance here Saturday.
The colorful Bryan, a big favorite more than their share of thrills at the Kansas Relays, the past two years.
As a sophomore he went over the bar at 13 feet 11 inches 4-4 inches to surpass, by two inches a Relays record,
that had stood for eight years. It was
his best vault of the season.
40
MISS PARKS
Another Record Last Year
Last year he again turned in his finest performance of the season at the Kansas Relays. Vaulting brilliantly, Bryan soared over the bar at 14 feet, 2 inches to establish a new
with the crowd, has given the fame
meet record for the second consecutive year.
The Longhorn star is a remarkable natural athlete. He was a halfback on the football team his first two years. Beefus also was the pitching star of the baseball team as a sophomore, until it became necessary for him to choose between track and baseball as his spring sport. His decision to concentrate on track has paid dividends.
To Try Again
Saturday Bryan will attempt to perform the exceptional feat of breaking the record in his event for the third straight year. He won the pole vault at the Texas Relays in easy fashion and will be primed for a real effort here.
Stiffer competition than he has faced here recently will spur Bryan on Saturday. In Harold Hunt of Nebraska, he is up against a young star who shows even more promise than Bryan as a sophomore.
In the first two months of his varsity career, Hunt established himself as the finest Nebraska pole vaulter of all-time. This was despite the fact that he was vaulting indoors, something which usually handicaps most vaulters.
Hunt reached his peak at the Armour Tech Relays indoors where he vaulted 13 feet, 9 inches. Outdoors the Cornhusker star may reach 14 feet in his first year on the varsity. The Nebraska sophomore won the pole vault at the Big Six indoor meet handily.
Another big name in the pole vault is Northwestern's ace, Ed Thistlethwaite. The son of the former Big Ten football coach vaulted 13 feet 11 inches at the Big Ten indoor meet last year.
American Bowling Congress 'Rained Out' in Detroit
Detroit, April 18—(UP)—Two middle alleys at the American bowling congress last night were "rained out" for the first time in tournament history.
A heavy rain penetrated the roof of the coliseum, halting the play of two Bowling Green, O., teams. Although the Bowling Green quintets —Unkart's Lunch and Dorman's lunch— were given rain checks and will roll on today's card, a pair of Cleveland teams affected by the leaking roof were permitted to bowl on a midnight shift on another runway.
Earlier in the day, Vincent Murray of Schenectady, N. Y., became the focal point of the hottest argument of the tourney when scorekeepers changing reliefs erred in depriving him of strikes on two occasions. Murray finally hit 702 on scores of 243-257-202 for a tie for 10th position with Art Nordwall of Peoria, Ill.
Activity on the alleys tonight is expected to increase in preparation for the heaviest weekend barrage of the 62-day classic.

Game Rained Out Kansans Begin Practice For Iowa State Series
After dropping the first game to a fighting Phi Gam team, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon volleyball squad rallied to win the final two matches and the cup. The Alph's won by scores of 19-21, 21-13, and 21-10.
Men's Intramurals
The tournament has proceeded on a double-elimination basis and the Sig Alph team has been the class of the group and deserved to win. Their cooperation enables them to set up shots for their tall men to "kill."
If Jupiter Pluvius has a soft spot in his heart for Mike Getto's ball club, he certainly didn't show it yesterday, for with the Kansans itching for revenge and swearing not to commit the errors at crucial moments, which lost the first encounter with Missouri Saturday, the old boy turned on a shower of rain that fell long enough and hard enough to cause postponement of the
--game.
Today, the Jayhawks are back on Mount Oread, and as they prepare for their two-day series with Cyclones from Iowa State here next Friday and Saturday, one purpose will be uppermost in their minds. That purpose will be to improve their defense. In all departments of the game except fielding, the Jayhawks equalled or excelled the Tigers. The Kansas hitters kept pecking away at Carl Miles, the Missouri ace, until they finally drove him to cover late in the game. Miles can be compared to Charlie Mason, Bengal right-hander of two seasons ago, who this spring is on the roster of the Kansas City Blues. A major league seout was in the stands at Columbia Friday watching Miles, so Missouri may contribute another player to organized baseball.
Knute Kresie Good
As for pitching, Knute Kresie kept the Tigers at bay throughout most of the game, but errors with men on bases resulted in six unearned runs off his deliveries. Among strikeout victims of the Kansas right hander was Paul Christman, Missouri first baseman.
One of the stars of the game was Henry Horak, left handed pitcher-outfielder, who performed in right field Friday. Not only did Horak pull down several long drives which were labeled for extra bases, but he also smacked one of Miles' pitches almost out of sight. The hit, which landed on an embankment in deep right and was held to a double, would easily have cleared the right field fence on the Kansas field.
Napier Injured
Ray Napier, who was unable to play against Missouri because of a pulled tendon muscle may have to remain inactive for several more days. In the meantime, Bob Hunt, who filled the shortstop position at Columbia, will take Napier's place.
Stanford University, Calif., April 18—(UP)—Paul Moore of Stanford University claimed a world record for the three-quarter mile run today. He was timed at 2:58.7 for the distance during a dual meet between Stanford and San Jose State yesterday, clipping nearly two seconds off the official world mark of 3:00.6, set by Jules Ladoumegue of France in 1931.
Paul Moore Claims New World Record
Moore's run also bettered the unofficial world record of 2:59.5 made by Sidney Wooderson of England in London last June. It was the second world record performance by Stanford athletes in less than a week. Last Saturday, the Stanford mile relay team shattered the world record in 3:10.5 over the same track.
Women's Intramurals

Because of the rainy weather, first round scores of women's intramural golf are not due in the gym office until Saturday noon, Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, announced today. As soon as the first round scores are in, the players will be placed in flights.
Scores cards for the first round in the archery tournament are due Friday.

ELMER HACKNEY, Kansas State —Shot Put. One of the greatest weight men that ever lived. In the long history of track and field, only one meet has produced a better mark in the shot put than Hackney's tosses of 55 feet, 11 inches and 55 feet, 10 1-2 inches last year. That was in Oslo, Norway in 1934, when Jack Torrence put the shot 57 feet, 1 inch.

Many Flying Foursomes To Run in Relays Races
Relay races, which comprise the major part of the program at the annual Anssas Relays, promise to be as thrilling and hard fought as ever, here Saturday.
---
saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with the high, hurdle race.
Fourteen relay races, eight individual events, and the invitation mile run make up the twenty-three event program. Proceedings get under way Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with®
Oklahoma's sizzling sprint relay team which won the 440- and 880-yard relays here last year, is favored to repeat those victories Saturday. Back from last spring's flying foursome are George Koottel and Fred Coogan. Running with them are two sophomores who were a pair of the greatest runners in Oklahoma high school annals, Orville Mathews and Bill Lyda.
Mile Relax a Favorite
The mile relay, an institution at track meets, is a decided tossup. If any team has an edge, it probably is the University of Minnesota, winner of this event at the Chicago Relays.
The Gophers boast four crack quarter-milers in Geo. Franck, star halfback on the football team, Bill Garrity, George Irving, and Bob
Johnson. Johnson is a sophomore star, with a high school mark of 49.6.
A B C
Minnesota will have to be in top form to win, however. Oklahoma A. & M., winner of the event last year, will make a strong defense of its title and Iowa State is a speedy entrant from the Big Six. From the Southwest comes Texas, capable of turning in 3:19 for the event.
A. & M. Defends Title
In addition to defending its championship in the mile relay, Oklahoma A. & M., will attempt to win the two mile relay for the second consecutive year. Burrus, Efaw and Mildef give the Cowboys a good start on another crack team in this event.
John Munski, Missouri's mile ace, who has paced the Tigers to victory in the distance镁 relay the past two years, makes his final appearance here Saturday.
Missouri will be out to set a new

The past two years, Hackney has won he shot put at the Relays. In the 938 events, he won with a toss of 50 feet, 2 3-4 inches and last year he set new Relays record of 52 feet, 1 1-2 inches. He is a senior.
GENE "RED" LITTLER, Nebraska—100-yard dash. Sprint relays. The classiest sophomore runner Nebraska has unveiled in years. The sensation of the Big Six indoor meet. Won the 60-yard and 440-dash dashes in that meet and anchored the mile replay. Was a Nebraska high school star, but enrolled at Compton, California, Junior College upon graduating. After a year there, Littler returned to Nebraska. National A.A.U. champion in the 200-meter run last summer.
MYRON PIKER, Northwestern—Yard dash. Big Ten Sprint champion. Has competed in three conference meets since he became eligible for varsity competition and has won every time. Won the 60-yard dash at the Big Ten indoor meets in 1939, 1940, winning in the fast time of 6.2 seconds on each occasion. At the Big Ten outdoor meet last spring, ticker won the 100-yard dash. He is third here last spring. He is a door.
VELLES HODGSON, Minnesota—broad Jump. The Gophers' strongest field event entrant. One of the prime favorites in the broad jump. Illinois Relays champion in this event. He leaped 23 feet, 10 inches that meet and he had a best mark of 24 feet, 3 inches last year.
Hargiss Enters 19 Jayhawkers In Kansas Meet

should be able to make up more than that amount of time this year. Running with Munski will be Marshall Reeves, Wilbert Berg and Louie Knight.
The four mile relay likely will be a duel between Kansas and Oklahoma A. & M, as was the case at the Texas Relays.
J. R. Jones, a fourth-place man in the Texas relays will be on hand to make an attempt for the blue ribbon given to the broad-jump winner.
Coach Hargiss is well pleased with his entry set-up this year and is expecting his men to come through strongly, especially because they are performing in their home stadium.
120-yd. high hurdles—Glenn Foy.
100-yd. dash—Darrell Mathes, Ted Scott.
The probable entries are as follows:
880-yd. relay—Glenn Fey, Bill Greene, Darrell Mathes, Kenny Hamilton.
Two-mile relay—Joe Ryan, Dick Edwards, Don Thompson, G. B. Hatfield.
Four-mile relay-Joe Ryan, Dick Edwards, Don Thompson, G. B. Hatfield.
Sprint medley-Kenny Hamilton, Bill Greene, Darrell Mathes, Don Thompson.

Pole vault. Bill Bevan, Jack O'Hara. J. C. Cordell.
Broad jump—J. R. Jones.
Javelin—Alfred Arky, Carty

High jump—Jim Mott, G. P. Hunter.
1-Only probable that the spring medley will run.
JACK HUGHES, Texas—Discus Throw. Defending champion in the discus throw. Won here last year as a sophomore with a throw of 151 feet, 9 inches. Should be the biggest man in the Relays, as he weighs around 260 pounds. Made his best throw of the season last year at the Drake Relays,
2–Four men will run in the one-mile relay; which four is uncertain.

Track Coach Bill Hargiss In Football Back 'When'
Everyone has heard something about Mr. H. W. Hargiss, known to all as just "Bill," and about everybody knows that he is the track coach of Kansas University. Bill is one of those rare men who has the ability to give orders and make those taking them, like the idea. He's personality man No. 1 around K.U.
Back in 1905-07, he played football on the old McCook field which ran along the south end of the present stadium here at Lawrence. He says he used to play on that field when the ground was so hard the players' cleats wouldn't stick into the ground, and there was not a blade of grass growing on it. Players' elbows in those days were skinned and bruised from the beginning of fall practice and were kept that way until the spring practice was over. Broken bones were seldom heard of, however.
By Carty Dawes, c'42
and rubbed, and patted, and massaged. Why, we didn't know what a rub-downtable was. An old friend of mine, and coach, once said to me, concerning rub-downs, "The good boys don't need it and the poor ones aren't worth it." I think there is a good deal of truth in what he said.
Still, though, I think such a table has its value. A fella may get some injury and really need some first aid treatment, and here he has the best care offered."
"Often," he said, "an athlete gets the idea that one of his legs is a little bit longer or shorter than the other one and that he should go climb onto a dressing table to have it straightened out to do himself justice in his sport. Most of the time," Hargiss declares, "there is nothing wrong with him. There may be a little strain or irritation there in his legs or back, but probably all he needs is to get himself into good physical condition."
"There's no use wasting that extra 30 minutes lying around on the table when it could be put to good use out on the track or playing field."
KANSAS
Quoted, Bill remarks. "The boys of today think they wear out from being active in athletics. Shucks, they think they have to be stretched out on a rub-down table and pulled,

Speaking distinctly and frankly, Coach Hargiss portrayed the character of a champion—open, honest, firm, and fair. All he said was given of his voluntary accord, but when he spoke, one could tell that he meant every word he said. It was difficult to dispute him. He gave himself up completely to being just a simple person. That's one thing that increases Bill Hargiss' distinct style of charm. He forces you to like him.

Honor Student So What?
This is honor day for the students. This is the day on which grades are glorified. This is the day when names are printed and spoken which, during all of the rest of the year, are never seen except on library cards and grade "A" term papers.
Roderick Burton and Marilyn McBride who edited this sheet during the past year and yet made the best of their scholastic opportunities;
Mac Wynne, orator, debater and student;
Winifred Jameson, a Mortar Boarder and a self-supporting coed;
Irving Kuraner, secretary of the M.S.C. and Phi Beta Kappa;
Richard MacCann, editor of the Jayhawker and a student;
John Hocevar, who pitches baseball in the summer, peddles Coca Cola and still gets good grades:
But there should be added honor heaped on those who do something else beside live with their studies and still make the honor roll, those who do something for the University as well as for themselves. We present here some of the Mount Oread citizens who did something else during the past year beside being in the top 10 per cent of their class:
Velma Wilson who managed to head the W. S.G.A., take over the N.Y.A. office and still make good grades;
William Ward, composer, bass drummer and scholar:
Fred Eberhardt, track man, Relays committeeman and one of today's honor students;
Eugene Ricketts, lawyer, Phi Beta Kappa, and one of the Hill's working men.

More Progressive Juvenile Institutions
According to recent state reports, the four institutions in Kansas for juveniles have blazed new trails in the last four years. Scorched in 1937 by a national survey which described them as among the worst in the country, the institutions now display several neat improvements in their systems.
These improvements have not resulted totally from the state's own initiative. In typically Kansas style, citizens seldom have made radical changes, seldom have moved by blitzkreigs, seldom have acquainted themselves with the inner workings of the state's administration. That they are thus characterized cannot be entirely their fault. Mr.Average Jayhawker has had no great Missourian political scandal to jolt him from his placid straight ticket. All the scandals, if there were any, were either hushed or nipped quietly in early bud; therefore, no internal force existed to badger the conservative New England conscience toward an interest in state houses.
The searchlight came with the appointment of a strong advisory committee, composed of prominent Kansas citizens. Investigations brought numerous instances of how the state had failed to equip it wards for a normal return to society. The systems were not unlike schools of crime. Prior to 1937, the State Reformatory at Hutchinson broiled hardened criminals, two-time violators, and first offenders
all in the same melting pot. No provisions had been made for a twelve-month term of school or for required psychological tests of the young misdemeals. Before 1937, the Topeka Boy's Industrial School had no well organized intramural groups as it has today. Too, physical examinations were under no strict rule. At the Beloit Girl's Industrial School, dairy facilities were inadequate. Leisure time activities, were sparse. The Atchison State Orphan's home had no program for sending its students, beyond the ninth grade, to public schools, nor had they a program for regular medical examinations. In these institutions, also, political expediency trammed out any major teaching of practical Christian living, for such spiritual guidance of the young inmates submerged itself to their hasty release in the minds of officials.
Gradually, these ills have met cures. No juvenile houses in Kansas can provide sociological material for a Stowe or a Steinbeck novel, and Kansans should rejoice in that. The rejoicing, however, might well be mixed with a pang of regret, for the primary impetus toward betterment came from an outside group. That an external force had to prod statesmen, politicians, and citizens to action surely cannot mean that the state is socially progressive. Kansas should put her houses to order under her own stimulants.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By Marilyn McBride
By Ye Ed of Thereabout
During the lighting trouble at the Pachacamac self-admiration rally the other night, a pair of Pachies ran over to some bushes and found a student with a rasp in his hand. Of course, he didn't have anything to do with the electrical difficulties, but according to the Pachies, he could have. (Editor's note: we can testify that Irving Kuraner stood near us
during the entire "rally.") The truth is that the student with the file did not have dirty politics in mind; he was simply filing his toe nails.
You have to toe the line in one professor's class. This particular person will flunk a student if he turns in a quiz written on anything but the regulation "quiz books." More, if your attitude isn't to his liking he'll count you absent for the day just to reform you. Students consider this professor's class a standing joke because it takes a little bit of everything but intelligence to get a grade in it.
Comes the news that Japan is constructing giant battleships. Since Japan has no president and the Emperor doesn't like fishing it would seem that they meant business with them. Naturally, the U.S. will have to build right along with the little sons-of—of—the Rising Sun. It's getting so a citizen can't afford either to live or to die.
Regardless of what both political parties have said about the other presidential candidate, Bob McKay or Bill Farmer would make a good president on any man's student council. Sometimes we wonder about the representatives but they are probably as good as the state or national representatives—just average human beings, more failible than infallible.
Nazi occupation of Denmark really struck Americans a blow. Countess Barbara Hutton Hauwgwitz-Reventlow's divorce from her Danish husband will have to be postponed for a year or two. This had destroyed every American's moral right to read about "Bab's" latest marriage adventure.

Defacers In High Gear---- Pioneer Cemetery Dies At Hands of Populace
By Bill Koester, c'42
The pioneer dead would turn over in their graves. That's the pioneer dead of Lawrence, of course, who were buried in the memorial cemetery a mile southwest of the campus. What we mortals have done to their last resting place would hardly meet with their approval if they could know about it. slingshots rifle
Once a plot of ground hallowed by the memory of many of the brave men and women who offered up their lives as sacrifice to the blood-lust of Quantrill, the graveyard now is an object of mild repulsion to those who dislike things in disarray.
A sign, apparently put up on the cemetery grounds by a caretaker many years ago, remains there in vain admonition today. It reads, "No
Picnickers, children at play, scavenger hunters, and general "edifice-defacers" have literally torn up the site until now it has lost all its former beauty and historical significance. Tombstones have been transplanted from one grave to another, or carted off completely as souvenirs, by unthinking persons whose presence there might not have been possible had not the dead they have molested died, that Lawrence might salvage from Quantrill's raid remaining remnants of life to reconstruct and build itself again into a thriving town. Holes in the ground and charred ashes left by students on steak fries have ruined the pastoral loveliness of the ground. Even graves have been dug into to make pits for weiner roasting.
slingshots, riffes, or defacing tolerated on this property." How sad that human beings have ceased to obey signs!
And so a real beauty spot of Lawrence, one with part of the great tradition of this community as an inspirational factor in its creation, gives up to the onslaught of irresponsible moderns as the heroes it cradles recapitulated to the bad men of the "Old West."
Pro-Arte Quartet From Belgium Will Play Here May 2-3-4

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
This is the story of "Gullible's Travels."
The best of us have been on the receiving end of practical jokes and know how it feels. Few of us, however, have been the object of a hoax such as has been perpetrated on Ivan Cain.
Cain is a pretty good guy. He certainly has too much faith in his fellow men.
Since Cain was runner-up in the popularity contest for escorts to the "Dark Command" premiere, students at his boarding house, led by Bob Harrison, convinced him that he was really first on the ballot but was relegated to second place by the "fraternity machine."
After a three-day buildup on this note the boys started telling him how popular he was on the Hill as a result of the election. They told him that he was by far the most sought after male on the Hill, that he could get a date with anybody. All he had to do was call and the girl would fall all over his neck.
He was slapped on the back until finally convinced, he called the first girl he could think of who should appreciate his new status. Sara Fair.
"Hello Sara, this is Ivan."
"Ivan. who?"
"Ivan Cain, you know who I am!"
Sara didn't.
But the spoofers started again Told Cain that the girl was just being coy, suggested he call Margaret Murray.
Cain called Margaret, who took a date with him.
The plan was proceeding so well that the boys, still led by an inspired Bob Harrison, convinced Cain that a Universal talent scout was looking or him.
Founding a stranger to act as photographer, they took Cain to a room, took numerous pictures without plates in the camera. They took pictures with hair parted on the side, hair parted in the middle. Pictures
sans shirt, showing muscles, pictures in tuxedo, pictures in white suits, pictures with head at angle.
Cain, by this time overwhelmingly enthused, has been sending items to his home town paper, The Dodge City Daily Globe, telling of his phenomenal success.
While submitting to the pictures Cain was delayed an hour for his date with Murray. He explained, however, and she is as enthussed as he. When he went to the Blue Mill with her the "photographer" showed up, took pictures of Margaret and Ivan dancing, talking, holding hands, before an impressed audience. Camera still sans plates.
Another newspaper correspondent called Cain, and asked him about his interview. Cain said, "We had a nice interview, and took some more pictures."
Cain went on to say that he felt awfully silly doing all of these things. He was assured that he must expect those things now.
When told that the studio was looking for something on the Robert Taylor type, Cain swelled correspondingly, wrote more articles for the home town paper.
Cain told the correspondent during the phone conversation that the publicity men were going to take pictures of him in front of Frank Strong riding a horse.
Said Cain, "They want pictures which will show my virility."
Jim Bell, also working with the hoax boys, called Cain in his capacity of correspondent for the Topeka Daily Capital, lent even more credence to the story.
Miss Murray is as convinced as Cain, hasn't missed a chance to share pictures with him.
The above stuff is supposed to be absolutely true and the hoax not known to the principals until they read this page.
And that is the story of Gullible's Travels.
Careful driving and good judgment behind the wheel will help you to stay out of the vital statistics.
Estes Group Meets Sunday
Setse Pooc will meet Sunday at 4 p.m. in Henley house to make plans for the Estes conference to be held at Estes, Colo., from June 7 to 17. Some of the matters to be discussed at this meeting are the soliciting of delegates to the conference, transportation and living quarters in Estes.

Invasion Strikes Home---- Student Follows War Dispatches Closely
the University.
With one brother believed to be seeing action in Norwegian battles and with his family home in the war area, Engbret Bentson, e'41, is following war dispatches closely. though much of the land is not ill-
Bentson and his brother, Martin came to the United States in 1923 to live at Leona, Kan., with an uncle. Martin was graduated with a major in journalism in 1938, worked on a master's degree last year, and is now employed on a newspaper at Russell, Kan. Both have earned all of their college expenses.
One of Bentson's younger brothers is in the army and was stationed at Oslo before the outbreak of war. He is believed to be in the fighting lines now. Another brother was recently called with his age class for military service and may also be fighting.
The family's home is on a farm near Risor, on the coast of Norway about halfway between Kristiansand and Oslo. The Bentson farm is large for Norway, more than 100 acres although much of the land is not ill- able, consisting of timber and rough pasture.

Nazi's Check Allied Drive
Reich Planes Deliver Severe Blows
Allied airplanes, warships and troops hammered at German forces in Norway today and suffered sharp counter-blows delivered by the Nazi aerial armada.
The fog of war and censorship continued to cloud military developments on the new Northern battlefield but it was becoming obvious that the race for position in Scandinavia would be a long and desperate one instead of a lightning stab by either side. True Fold Program
British tactics appeared to be twofold:
Two-Fold Program
1. A series of aerial and naval blows designed to shatter German bases and communication lines in Norway. These have been only partly successful but the air ministry at London said more Royal Air Force raids last night had damaged the Stavanger airport, hit a U-boat off the coast and a German supply ship, at a cost of three British planes. These raids obviously will be intensified henceforth.
2. Landing of Allied expeditionary forces such as already are operating in the Narvik district and have been reported in the Namsos fjord, north of Trondheim. This is going to be slow work.
The most important thing that has come out of the war in the north up until today is that nobody can tell which side is gaining the advantage. Many Counter-Claims
There have been important claims and counter-claims which cannot yet be cleared up and may not be clarified for weeks. The British have reported success in breaking up German sea communications to Norway but air transport has gone on steadily and the Nazis claim their northern forces have been tremendously reinforced.
The Germans claim to have bombed, damaged or sunk almost a score of British warships, but the British admit only four destroyers and a couple of submarines sunk and say that several others ships which were attacked by German airplanes reached port safely.
No Official Statement
The fact that the British made no official statements that might reveal to the Germans their actions in the Narvik area added to the fog over North Norway but from border dispatches it appeared that the Germans were cut off and facing eventual destruction.
Even at Narvik, the British claims that seven big, modern German destroyers fell victim to a British fleet attack were only partly admitted by the Nazi high command, which insisted that the Narvik port and vicinity still were in German hands today as was the railroad from Narvik to Sweden.
Scar on Hip Nets Hugh $10,863
Hollywood, April 18. — (UP) — Hugh Herbert, the "woo woo" comedian, was $10.863 richer today after having exhibited a scar on his hip to a jury.
He had asked $67,500 damages from the Consolidated Film company for an automobile accident in which he was involved 18 months ago. The company admitted one of its trucks was at fault, but argued that Herbert had estimated his injuries too high.
His attorney insisted yesterday that the jury look at the scar on Herbert's hip. Herbert and the jury went in Judge Walter S. Gates' office and when four women jurors returned, they were blushing.

In the basement of Bailey hall, the chemists will demonstrate evaporation, humidity and air conditioning, drying, distillation extraction, filtration, furnaces and presses.
Hamburgers fried on a cake of ice will be sold by the electrical engineers in the laboratory. Other demonstrations include: a coffee can motor, an electronic organ made in the laboratory, a photo electric color separator, and the latest type of fluorescent lights used on highways in the East. The studios and control room of radio station KFKU will be open for inspection.
The department of mathematics will show mathematic models, early mathematical literature, and examples of student work.
A polarized light demonstration and the scaled model of the Tallulah Falls project will be shown in the basement of Marvin hall by the mechanical engineers while in the laboratories a pop-corn machine, a solar engine, a beer-bottle callope, a Jayhawk-drawing machine, and laboratory equipment will be on display.
The aeronautical exhibit, in the same laboratory, will consist of two wind tunnels and demonstrations of tests made with them. Also several wind tunnel models and various aircraft engines will be shown.

The best issue of the year, according to Robertson, the magazine will feature a special page of cartoons by Ed Brown, c'41, called "Reels from the Relays" and another by Betys Dodge, fa'42, concerning women's sports.
Bert Brandt's "Girl of the Month," the regular record and fashion columns, jokes and pictures will complete the issue.

Many Stars Here For Mt. Oread's Annual Classic
By Jay Simon, c'40
Tomorrow afternoon you're going to see one of the finest of a long line of fine Kansas Relays programs. A galaxy of high school stars have been spending the day warming Mt. Oread fans up to their annual blue ribbon racing event and a bright sun has been doing the same thing to the track.
By 1:30 tomorrow afternoon when you file into Memorial Stadium to see the wind-up on the decathlon and the opening of the pole vault ole Sol is expected to have the cinders lightning fast.
You'll see Glenn Cunningham running his last mile on the oval where he began his climb to the top. You'll see them clear the track about 3 o'clock and make room for the Wheatfield Flyer and his three foes, the Rideout twins of North Texas Teachers and Archie San Romani, the state's crown prince in the distance running game.
Or you may be "ohing and ahing" about the way Boyce Gatewood of Texas, flashed over that stretch of high hurdles. Perhaps you'll be recounting the records set up in the field events, for defending champions are back in all six of them.
That'll be called the special event of the afternoon, but when you leave amid the gathering shadows around 5:30 you may be talking about that new world's record set up in the high jump by Don Bovdston of Oklahoma A. and M.
Glenn's Last Mile Here
Hackney and Bryan Back
You may be singing the praises of Elmer Hackney of Kansas State or Beefus Bryan of Texas after they win their specialties for the third straight year. Hackney has taken the shot put twice and is a favorite again tomorrow.
And the Longhorn showman who just can't keep from creeping into the hearts of the spectators has set records in the vaulting event twice already. Tomorrow he may hoist himself above his peak performance of 14 feet 2 inches made here last year.
That hundred yard dash will give you a thrill. It'll be a pair of chunky little fellows from Northwestern and Nebraska that'll battle t iout here. "Red" Littler, the Husker, and Myron Piker, Wildcat ace, are both capable of stopping watches right down around 9.6.
(Continued on page five)
Engineers Stress Fun In Science
Entertainment galore seems to be the general idea of the annual Engineering Exposition which officially opened this afternoon. Transcribed music, amplified over 11 loud speakers, exhibits by each of the departments of the School of Engineering, demonstrations of laboratory equipment, and motion pictures pertaining to the departments, makes up the "engineer's holiday." Visitors, who began appearing at noon, had little trouble in finding things of interest at the Exposition.
Displaying a photo-electric counter which tabulates the number of people who pass through a beam of light, the department of electrical engineering will hold the foremost interest in the displays. A man power machine that determines a person's power by the turning of a crank, a pop-corn machine which pops only a kernel at a time, and a coffee can motor are also drawing spectators. A bit mystifying is the exhibit entitled "the engineer makes the world go round."
Another electrical exhibit of interest makes visible as well as audible progress of radio since 1923. Four models, from 1923 to a 1940 remote control radio, are wired so that one program may be amplified through any of the machines.
The exhibits of the respective departments in Haworth hall, Marvin hall, Engineering laboratories, and Bailey laboratories, will be open for visitors this evening and tomorrow morning.
Everything Set But the Stage For W.S.G.A.'s Musical Comedy
Everything but the stage was set today for final rehearsals of "Sing 'n Swing," the song, dance and comedy spectacle that W.S.G.A. is offering three nights next week starting Tuesday.
Bud Balzer, versatile saxophonist who is musical director of the show, had completed his arrangements of 10 tunes for the production, six of which he composed in collaboration with Jim Hammers.
Director Rolla Nuckles put his coed chorines through lively paces last night and announced they were ready for dress rehearsals. The
comedy skits. "Big Business" and "It's a Dull World." were waiting only for last minute polishing and Ross Robertson's Modern Choir was preparing for its vocal appearances.
But the stage wasn't quite set. It was rapidly taking shape, however, through the efforts of Larry David and his stage crew.
At last night's chorus rehearsal, photographers interrupted the continuity of dance drills, seeking poses from the coed dancers.
The show will be run through in entirety tonight, and four more full dress practices will be held over the
weekend. The band, composed of twelve popular Hill musicians picked from the three dance orchestras, will rehearse with the rest of the cast tomorrow. Featured members of the band will be Dale Brodie, glamorboy trumpeter, and Joe McAnarney, Mt. Oread's little Benny Goodman.
Ticket sales were moving rapidly, Jean Robertson, W.S.G.A. treasurer reported this morning. She said most of the choice seats for Wednesday night were sold but that excellent seating for Tuesday and Thursday nights still was available. The ducats are on sale at Green hall.

Cork Jewelry Gains Popularity
Corks are the latest of the "unjewel-like" objects being used for jewelry. Little ones and big ones, the small ones in clusters, the big ones side by side, are used for necklaces and bracelets. One necklace combines natural colored corks, shellbacked and enameled ones, white, chalk blue or lime green.
Jewel studded leather is another idea. There are belts and bracelets. It's smart to wear three, four or five of the bracelets at one time.

11 R.O.T.C. Men Take Exams
Eleven R.O.T.C. graduates who have applied for admission to the one year active training in the regular army under the Thomason act, are taking their physical examinations at Leavenworth today.
Out of 1,000 young men chosen from the R.O.T.C. divisions in 175 colleges and universities in the United States, 100 will be awarded a commission in the regular army at the end of the year's training.
In the two previous years the Thomason act provided for only 500 men to take the training out of which only 50 were given commissions. At the end of each of these years one man from the University of Kansas was among the 50 given a regular commission.
Those who are taking physical examinations are: Donald DeFord, c'40; Alvin Grauerholz, c'40; John K Griffith, m'43; Benjamin Manderville, l'41; James Mitchell, b'40; Thomas Morris, c'41; Godfrey Rice, e'40; Rex Sage, e'41; Robert Smith, b'40; Carl Spehr, e'41; and Robert Williams, c'41.

Peace Fast Has Two-Fold Purpose
The Peace Fast, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building yesterday, had a two-fold purpose: (1) to keep the United States out of war, and (2) to work for permanent peace.
The program opened with a prayer by John J. O. Moore, Y.M. C.A. secretary. Three student addresses were given: "The Price of Peace" by Mary Janes, c'41; "Does the Future Belong to Peace?" by Elijah Cole, c'41; and "Thoughts of Peace," by Marjorie Cook, c'42. Dorn Herrington, gr., gave a reading, "The City of God," and Margaret June Gray, c'41, gave 'A Post-war Sketch.'

Nebraska Here Tomorrow
Golf, Tennis Scheduled With Kansas
By Orlando Epp, c'42
In their first Big Six meet of the 1940 season, the Jayhawk golf and tennis teams meet the University of Nebraska here tomorrow morning. The meet scheduled for last Wednesday with Washburn will probably be played sometime during the week of May 6-11, tennis coach "Dutch" Uhrlaub said this morning.
Dean Ritchie, varsity captain, Roderick Wakeland, who was low medalist in the University of Kansas City match, and Bill McElhenny, will lead the Kansas linken against the Huskers tomorrow. The other member of Coach Shannon's squad will be decided by qualifying rounds this afternoon.
The matches at the Lawrence Country Club course tomorrow, will be the second of the year for the golfers. The Big Six defending champions swamped Kansas City University, 17 to 1, in the first match April 10.
Howard Engleman will again play in the number one position for the varsity netmen. Kermit Franks and Jack Floyd are scheduled for the next two places, with the fourth man either Conrad Voelker or Charles Snyder. Engleman-Floyd and Shupe-Minor will wield racquets for Kansas in the doubles.
The tennis team lost a close 3-2 decision to the Kansas City netmen in their open meeting. All matches will be played on the courts southwest of the stadium.
Board to Select Letter Winners
Meeting for the fifth time this year, the Kansas Athletic board will pass on basketball and swimming letters, and numerals for freshman football men, at 11 o'clock Saturday morning in the Memorial Union building.
There is a possibility that the board will meet once more at the end of the school year to decide on baseball and track letters. This can be done only when the two seasons are finished.
Fencers to Meet Friends University
The University fencing teams will play two scheduled matches this weekend. The women's team will meet with the W.Y.C.A. fencers, Kansas City, Mo., at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, and the men will be pitted against Friend's University, Wichita, at 7:30 Saturday night, both matches to be played in Robinson gymnasium.

Champions Must Hustle To Defend Relays Crowns
Stiff competition in all of the eight individual events is in prospect at the eighteenth annual Kansas Relays here tomorrow.
In six of the eight events, defending champions will head the fields, but none of them can expect an easy victory. One of last year's champions, Dick Schnacke of Iowa State, is a decided underdog in his events, the high $ ^{*} $
Heavy favorite in the high jump is Don Boydston of Oklahoma A. and M., who has leaped 6 feet 8 1-4 inches. Other standouts in this event include Jim Smith of Northwestern and Arrington of Michigan State.

In the 100 yard dash, co-favorites have been established. Expected to fight it out right down to the tape are the Big Ten champion, Myron Piker of Northwestern, and the Big
Sports Parade
By Henry McLemore
New York, April 19—(UP)—Brooklyn today was a mecca for connoisseurs of baseball openings.
Just as art lovers make pilgrimages to the Uffizi galleries and music lovers travel to the Metropolitan opera, those who appreciate the very best in opening games make it a point to be in Brooklyn when the Dodgers first play host to the New York Giants.
The game itself is incidental, serving only as an excuse for some 35,000 people to release their grip on reason, shed their
The game itself is incidental, some 35,000 people to release the sanity, and enjoy two or three hours of good, wholesome giddiness.
Six champion, "Red" Littler of Nebraska. Koettel and Mathews of Oklahoma are other speedsters.
There isn't any way to adequately describe the Brooklyn greeting to the opposing team on opening day. Perhaps the best way to convey a picture of what happens is to say that it offers a complete preview of 1940 models in firecrackers, cowbells, sirens, kazoos, razzberries, insults, groans, growls and general disorder. Even the rudest Hatfield or McCoy would consider it an impolite greeting.
Others Not in Brooklyn's Class
Cincinnati, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland and other of the major league cities stage substantial and stylish baseball openings, but they aren't in a class with Brooklyn. The good burgers of that borough put on a show that, in many ways, won't be matched until we see what the first minutes marking the end of the world are like. And even then some of Brooklyn's stuff probably will have been borrowed. Some of the sound effects, most likely.
It should reach a peak today, for more reasons than one. In the first place the Giants are the opposing team and nothing so incites a Brooklyn citizen like the sight of a New York Giant. Wild Indians could troop across Brooklyn bridge, or even Martians armed with zapzap guns, without creating the stir that the invasion of men wearing gray flannel suits with New York stitched on their chests does. Familiarity Breeds Contempt
One might think that having seen these same Giants year after year the Brooklynns would take them in stride. But such is not the case. Familiarity has really bred contempt and hate in this case, and the first Giant who shows his noggin in Ebbets field will get the same greeting, only more so, that John McGraw and his boys did years ago.
The 120 ward high hurdles will bring together such crack timber toppers as Boyce Gatewood of Texas, Paul Cope of Colorado, Joe Finch of Northwestern, John White of Missouri and Dinsmore of Tarkio. Gatewood and Cope are given a slight edge over the others.
As I said, the opening this year should be the best of a long line of good ones. Not only will the Giants be there, but the Brooklyns will be doubly excited because, after many years, they have a right to feel that their team has a chance to win the National League pennant.
Women's Intramurals
By CECIL KING
Pairings in the women's intramural golf tournament were posted today in Robinson gymnasium by Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education.
Even Beetus Bryan of Texas, twice a winner and twice a record breaker at the Relays, will face stiff opposition. The colorful Trees pole vaulter will be up against a rising young star, Harold Hunt of Nebraska, and a fine Big Ten vaulter, Ed Thistlethwaite of Northwestern.
In the championship flight McIntyre, Kappa; Rader, I.W.W.; Nelson, Theta; Waring, Kappa; Wyatt, Kappa; and Lewis, Pi Phi drew byes for the first rounds. Clawson, A.D. Pi; will meet Magill, Kappa; and Brock, Theta; will play Hoffman, Pi Phi.
In the first flight Randall, Chi Omega; Barber, Pi Phi; Grizzell, Corbin; Goodjohn, Alpha Chi; Barclay, Pi Phi; and McHenry, Chi Omega drew byes.
First round matches include: Hays, Chi Omega, vs. Lacey, Alpha Chi, and Armacost, Chi Omega, vs. Brower, Alpha Chi.
DON'T FORGET THE RELAYS!
Five Standouts in Broad Jump
Elmer Hackney of Kansas State is the defending champion with the easiest assignment tomorrow. Hackney is getting back into his old form, following a wrist injury and should be invincible in the shot put.
The broad jump field includes such stars as Sol Schumitzky of Missouri, Walter Arrington of Michigan State, Welles Hodgson of Minnesota, Nelson Puett of Texas, and J. R. Jones of Kansas. Schumitzky won last year, but Hodgson is favored this time.
The discus throw is rated as a complete tossup, with five men in the field, any one of whom might win. They are Ed Wibbels of Nebraska, Jack Hughes of Texas, John Shirk of Oklahoma, Ray Prochaska of Nebraska, and Ray Jenkins of Colorado.
Best of the javelin throwers are three Big Six men, Bob Waldram of Missouri, and Herb Grote, and Bus Knight of Nebraska.
In Relays Tomorrow
SOL SCHUMITZKY, Missouri broad jump. Defending champion in this event. Schumitzky was one of two sophomores who won here last year. Surpassed all his previous effort leaping 24 feet, 4 3-4 inches to win. Big Six indoor broad jump champion in 1939. Hails from St. Louis, where he attended University City high school. Was state high school champion.
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
(Written from Memorial Stadium) High school athletes from the four corners of the state converged on Memorial Stadium today as the first day of the eighteenth annual Kansas Relays began under sunny skies and on a fast track.
AROUND THE CINDERS. . First accident in the Kansas Relays for years happened here this afternoon. Ed Haley, Topeka mile runner, was hit in the right leg by a flying javelin. Haley took only one step and then he dropped to the ground, unconscious. . . Accidents like this are few and far between, considering the many boys that are participating in track meets the country over. . . Pruitt, of Independence is one of the outstanding stars of the meet so far, qualifying in the 100-yard dash, 120-yard high hurdles, and the 220-yard low hurdles. He is state champion in both the high and lows. .
BACK TO DEFEND his title again is E. Lee Todd, now studying at Colorado University. Todd nosed out Odell, of Oklahoma A. and M. by five points last year in the decathlon. . . Todd is out on the field now, practicing for his 10 events schedule this afternoon and tomorrow morning. . . Walking around fully dressed is Glenn Cunningham, who will run in the special mile tomorrow against the Rideout twins and Archie San Romani. . . Just a sideglance at Bch Davenport of Pepperdine College, in Los Angeles, and one sees a pretty slick looking decathlon man... You might keep your eyes on him anyway.
THE FIRST NEW RECORD OF THE DAY was set by Fielder, of Enterprise, in the Class B discus throw, when he tossed the platter 141 feet 734 inches. . Be sure to buy a program and catch the full-page picture of the Kansas Relays beauty queen, Helen Johnson. . You might cut it out if you wish. Helen was missing today, but she will be here tomorrow in full beauty. . . I'll bet that Ed Elbel has answered over a thousand questions today. . Ed is the general manager of the Kansas Relays and most of the credit for this successful event should be given to Ed and his Relays Committee.

But you're wanting to see the relays. You want to see them pull out of that shute down at the southeast corner of the field. You want to see them scramble up at the end of each lap and see that next man come tearing out with the striped stick. You want to see those anchor men pour it on as they whirl into the payoff lane.
Well, you'll see that. And you'll see lots of it.
With sprint quartets from Texas and Oklahoma from down that way and from Michigan State and Northwestern from the lake district, you'll see plenty of speed.
Pitt and Emporia Again
Then there will be baton outfits from Missouri and Oklahoma A. and M. and Kansas and some of the other places running for honors in the longer events.
Battling for honors in the college division will be relay teams from Pittsburg Teachers and Emporia State, the prennial winners among the four year schools. They both have some fast steppers on hand this year. The ones you'll want to see are Vernon Akins, dusky Gorilla clean-up runner, and Bob Liby middle-distance ace for the Hornets.
In the decathlon you'll see last year's winner, Lee Todd, trying to keep his laurels away from a pack of athletes rounded up from nearly every section of the United States.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
And This Is College
With the multi-ring circus Relays here to climax what has been a hectic week, sages up and down the Hill are shaking heads, shrugging shoulders, or more generally exhibiting "tuttut appearances" as to what this life at the University is all about. Only answer to the conundrum is that if today's professed book-termites are ever to get an inkling of the people, idiosyncrasies, and stuff of life, they will get it right here, within the wind-blown boundaries of the Campus.
This week has formed a bathroom puddle of what students must either step into or side-step some day. Honors Convocation singled out about two per cent of those borers-for-pats on-the-back while the other 98 per cent yawned, ate a late breakfast at Brick's, got jealous, or said, "So what?" When Mortar Boarders got together, carrying on a la Rebecca lodge, they elected their best friends to the honor of staying out after closing hours next year. A publicity-starved student tasted censure and ridicule that often follows one who shuns privacy. A group of women were declared "queens" and other candidates passed into oblivion. But what of it? Doesn't something analogous happen every day from Osh Kosh to Greenwich Village.
Yes, college life is full of tall and short disappointments and many flavored successes. In face of it all, the student stock phrase has become, "Fifty years from now I'll never know the difference," to prove that Joe and Josephine have learned to laugh it off—on the surface at least.
Another Contempt Case
★ ★ ★
With the Topeka State Journal now seconding the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in newspaper contempt cases of the month, the mid-west will hear soon again the thundering challenge of the Fourth Estate in its demands for an unfettered press. The Post-Dispatch, for the past three weeks object of condolence from American papers, has been charged with constructive contempt for its clarion against the decision of a Circuit Court judge in a criminal case. In Topeka, the State Journal has been cited for contempt in denying police information as to liquor violations in that city, the revealing of which would betray a confidence.
Kansas has no legal resort for newspapers withholding facts from police. Professional and moral rights reign strong, however, for police and newspapers usually have been cooperative or interdependent as to sources of information. This tendency, nevertheless, has not placed the State Journal in an unfavorable light. Morally, the American paper has every right to conceal its source of news so long as withholding it does not hinder the meting out of justice. In this
The Topeka case appears simple when compared with the St. Louis war. Closely aligned with editorial scribe E. B. Chapman's comment rests the month-long probe of Topeka vice-houses under the conduction of Attorney-general Jay S. Parker and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. Findings completed, last week Parker filed an ouster suit in supreme court against Charles McKnaught, police chief appointed by Mayor John Scott, an instigator of the inquisition.
case, the Journal has declared that it possesses no knowledge not in the hands of both state and Topeka authorities. Despite this fact, however, the paper has no legal resort. Although communications between doctor and patient, lawyer and client, pastor and church member may look to legal recognition, no such privilege evists for the reporter and his informant. That fear of publicity often throttles important and reliable authorities rates major concern, for much administrative news is gleaned from these officials. The reporters' desire, therefore, to keep open the channels of news through the reputation of always maintaining a confidence is of ultimate importance.
As the situation now stands, future Kansas presses may become weighted with court seals of approval—victims of withered news sources. In avoidance of this danger, editors either must accept contempt cases as the sacrificial part of their profession or appeal to the state legislature for a protective statute.

THAT COWARDLY SHINSTER!
Editor, Daily Kansan:
The stories in the Shin concerning the election, while doubtlessly supposed to be funny, are a reflection on the work of the elections committee in running the election, and on all the men of both parties who worked on the polls or in counting the ballots.
I believe that this was the fairest and most efficient election and count that has been held on the Hill in years. In each district the number of ballots cast tallied exactly with the number in the poll books. This is a prima facie evidence that there was no ballot box stuffing and no ballot stealing. Moreover it will make possible a check on the recount to see that no ballots will be stuffed or stolen. Furthermore, in view of the possibility of innocent mechanical errors caused by constantly changing personnel at the polls, it indicates the unusually high intelligence and honesty of poll workers submitted by each party. So far as I know there was not a single case of undue unpleasantness on the polls all day, and very little in the counting in the evening.
"The lad on the polls . . . who was caught cutting opposition ballots in two" is a creature of Mr. Meininger's imagination, and the story itself just another instance of manufacturing a story when no real one exists. If the election goes so smoothly that it is not newsworthy, the Shin has to conjure up some irregularities and then blame the things they have imagined on the politicians. The Kansas complains about dirty politics and when we politicians clean our politics up we don't even get credit for it.
As for P.S.G.L., according to Bob Marietta we have not yet conceded anything, and until the recount demonstrates conclusively who has won would be wasted effort to make plans about how we are going to organize the council.
As for student government becoming a farce: In view of the Shin's creation of a dirty election when there was none, and in view of the Shin's inside dope on plans that do not yet exist, and in view of the M.S.C.'s sensible stand upon issue upon which the Kansan went off half-cocked, it may seem to some of us that campus journalism is at least as much a farce as campus politics is supposed to be.
Indeed the cause of student government is hardly furthered by men like M.S.C. member Meininger, who has attended only one meeting this semester. Nor does it seem that politicians are the only ones who lack courage when we recall that when the dance pass bill was proposed Meininger jumped up and left the meeting because he hadn't the courage to vote on it. IRVING KURANER,
Chairman of M.S.C. Elections Com.
(Editors Note: Despite Mr. Kuraner's irritating qualities, the editorial of April 4, commending campus politicians, still goes. In the good interests of P.S.G.L. worthies, the editors refrain from comment on the statement "in view of the M.S.C.'s sensible stand upon issues upon which the Kansan went off half-cooked—")

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
Sing n' Swingster Jane Waring may be nursing a black eye today after chorus partner Mary Noel kicked so energetically in the line practice last night she slammed her knee into Jane's eye. A slight discoloration was noted at bed time.
The musical commediennes, adopting a professional outlook, have asked that their skirts be shortened. Official reason: Too long for comfort while executing the routines.
And a deep dark secret of the production is that one of the skits, "It's a Dull World," is to be a take-off on the department of journalism. Don't let it leak out.
Since this column is not the place to answer campus opinions we make no comment about Ike's well-done letter on today's editorial page. We do want it understood, however, but this column does not represent the stand of the Kansan on any issue nor does it reflect the paper's policies.
While writing this stick we function as columnist, not publisher. The editorial page is the only part of the paper to be regarded as representative of the opinions of the staff and the Kansas Board.
One more thing. We have received several letters and post cards with excellent material for this column that we have been unable to use because these notes have not been signed. We appreciate the tips very much but we cannot take a chance of using material that may be entirely fictitious. You sign 'em--we'll use 'em.

Local Grade-Makers Look Back on 50 Years
By Richard MacCann, c'40 Strugging with the problems of chicken-joints and celery (just like average people, 370 old and new members of two fifty-year-old honor societies ate dinner together last night in the Union Memorial ballroom. Casting aside old enmities, Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi momentarily decided that literary and scientific achievements respectively, were both pretty wonderful, and that the University of Kansas has had its share of personalities in both fields.
Climax of the evening was an outstanding proof that the old accusation is false—namely, that Phi Beta Kappa's are top-notchers only in being dull. Dean Ellis B. Stouffer, math professor and head of the Graduate School, held the attention of all literary and scientific lights present with his lucid and pleasant tale of the University's scholastic history. Stories of former Chancellor Snow, who was trained in Greek and theology and came to the University to make it famous for his scientific research—stories of early

Good telephone service for Kansas
takes a lot of work...a lot of money
Over a million times a day someone in Kansas calls someone else over a Bell telephone. To handle such a volume of calls takes a vast network of more than 800,000 miles of wire...interconnecting 215,000 telephones in some 150 Kansas exchanges...and the services of more than 3,000 Kansas telephone people.

Hopes Dim For New Election
Hope for a new election in disputed District I began to dim last night when Irving Kuraner, c'40, chairman of the election committee, said "matters would probably remain as they stand now."
Decision on the revote will be made by the Men's Student Council tomorrow night.
Kuraner's statement was interpreted to mean that the council will refuse the new election, since Kuraner is a leader in P.S.G.L., party which controls the M.S.C.

Basis for the new-vote demands is a belief on the part of W. R. Maddox, technical adviser in the election, that voting graduate students who had not paid an activity fee had no right to a ballot.
Maddox said his belief was founded on the council's constitution.

The feature of the day was the special invitation mile run, in which Blaine Rideout, North Texas State College, defeated three other masters of the mile, his brother Wayne, Archie San Romani, and Glenn Cunningham. Blaine set a new record in this event, 4:10.1 seconds, cracking the old meet record of 4:12.7 seconds, held by the "barrelchested" Glenn since 1934. Yesterday was Glenn's last race here.
With perfect track weather as a basis, four new Kansas Relays records were set here yesterday afternoon in the running of the Eighteenth Annual Kansas Relays. The day, named after Glenn Cunningham, will long be remembered in the hearts of those participating.

Stating that he has had other offers, the "Midwest Mercury" indicated he chose Cornell because he believed it offered opportunities appealing to him. His work, he said, will include much administration as well as teaching. His position is a new one at the Iowa college, having been created for him.
His amateur standing will not be affected by his teaching, in case Cunningham should later decide again to enter competition.

In 1936 he won a master's degree from the University of Iowa and in 1938 took a degree as doctor in physical education in New York University. He has also studied at Columbia University.
The college where the famous miler will teach has an enrollment limited to 600 entries by entrance examinations.
The "fastest human" has no set plans for the next few months, he announced. Several invitations have been received by Cunningham to run this season, but he has made no decisions regarding them.

Jay Janes Play Host to Phi Siqma Chi
The 25 delegates to the convention represented the Municipal University of Omaha, the University of Nebraska, Kansas State College, and Washburn College.
Part of the morning was spent in a round table discussion on suggestions for improving the organization. Initiation services were held for the Washburn chapter, which entered the organization this year. The ceremony was conducted by Betty Kimble, c'4I, in the absence of Winifred Jameson, b'40.
After a 12:30 luncheon, the delegates were guests of the Jay Janes at the Kansas Relays.
Two-In-One, Not Oil But Housecoat
Two-in-one isn't oil—it's a new dressing gown! You buy a very smart, well-cut and tailored house-coat with square shoulders, a slim flared skirt, huge pocket in the skirt to hold all. A small, zippered pocket inside the big one holds small articles, the whole thing made in a very fine, uncrushable rayon crepe. A flattering cowl hood gives you a pretty neckline, can be hauled up to cover up hopeful pin curls. But that isn't all! Take off this robe, shove it all casually into its own pocket, zip a zipper, and you have a soft little cushion to tuck here or there. It comes in luscious colors, new for spring.
Miss Marion Weber, chief dietitian of the University of Kansas hospitals, Kansas City, Kans., will speak at the meeting of the Home Economics club held in the Home Management house, Tuesday, April 23.

Chi Omega Given Honor Last Night
Cathleen Beyer, c'40, was crowned queen of the Hobnail Hop before a capacity crowd in the ballroom of the Memorial Union ballroom last night. The coronation took place before intermission when George Rippey, c'41, president of the engineering council, announced the winner, crowned Her Majesty with a wreath of flowers, and presented her with a slide rule scepter.
The victory of the Chi Omega candidate broke the three-year reign of the Gamma Phi's. Isabelle West c'40, ruled over the Hop last spring.
Other candidates selected in a primary balloting in the School of Engineering and Architecture were: Betty Bell, c'42, Pattye Jayne Wadley, c'42, Bernice Morris, c'43, Ann Rightmire fa'40 and Kathleen O'Sullivan c'43.
The veil of secrecy surrounding the identity of the queen is a hangover from the old feudin' days of the lawyers and engineers, when it was not uncommon for students of the School of Law to kidnap the queen so that she could not be presented at the dance. This year there was little reviving of the battling, and the engineers did their queen campaigning unmolested.
Sun Speckles Are No Menace Now
In the gay nineties girls were not the sun worshipers they are now. The sun was their enemy; it made speckles on impertinent noses. Neither were they swimmers. Good reason: the fashionable bathing suit of heavy flannel, covering their arms to their wrists, their legs to their ankles. When the flannel costume got wet, it weighed about a ton, and there was a chance of sinking to the bottom of the sea and never coming up.
Since those funny old days, the athletic girl has developed. Freckles don't bother her any more than do the robins in the trees. She not only swims like a fish, but she revels in sun baths, takes on a toasted exterior and gets full of ginger.
In the old days the perfect complexion was as white as a stalk of celery that had been bleached in a cellar. Women weren't supposed to have vitality. It wasn't ladylike to be healthy. What, a life that must have been!
New styles in bathing suits show two-piece affairs, a slip of a skirt, which is more attractive than the one-piece mode of a few seasons ago, and a torso garment that's no more than a bra, held by straps that pass around the neck. To wear this you have to be shapely, if not divine. So start doing your exercises, like a good girl, and no foolin'.

Costume Flowers Part of Ensemble
In several recent Paris collections, costume flowers were shown as part of the dress ensemble itself, not merely accessories. Quite often they are the sole trimming or lightening touch of an extremely simple gown.
Molyneux does a sleeveless dinner gown in black crepe which is plain, clinging sheathlike to the figure and flaring gently below the knees. To relieve the dull black of the crepe, six long-stemmed tulips in natural vivid shades are laid across the wide lapels of the bodice, their long green stems extending down the lapels and meeting at the low V point of the neck.

Tibbett Cancels Concert
Lawrence Tibbett will not appear at the University April 29.
Doctors of the world-famed baritone, who is seriously ill in New York, have cancelled all his scheduled appearances for the next three weeks.
Tibbett was to have appeared here as a featured part of the annual Music Week Festival, and a large number of tickets has already been sold for the concert. Dean Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts has
[Image of a man in a suit]
already begun negotiations to bring some other famous artist here to fill the spot vacated by Tibbett. The purchasers of the concert tickets are being informed of the necessary change.
If it is impossible to secure a substitute for the Tibbett program, another artist will be signed for a later date, Dean Swarthout said. The other major events of Music Week, which include a recital by the brilliant violinist, Paul Musikonsky; the performance of the complete Bach "Magnificat" with five soloists; the Westminster A Cappella Choir and the University Symphony Orchestra; and the three different programs of the Pro-Arte String Quartet from Brussels, Belgium, will occur as previously announced.

Todd Repeats In Decathlon
Todd
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
By Bob Trump (Guest Conductor)
More than 12,000 Jayhawks—past, present, and future, supplemented by visiting dignitaries and out-of-state athletes, streamed into Memorial. Stadium yesterday for the eighteenth renewal of the Kansas Relays.
From the moment early yesterday morning when contestants in the opening heat of the 120-yard high hurdles began to warm up for the first event in a long day, until 6 o'clock that night when left-handed Bob Waldram's winning javelin throw was measured at 206 feet, 5 inches, the spectators watched the outstanding track and field stars of the Middlewest competing in one of the country's best known sporting events.
Nine o'clock witnessed the appearance of Relays committeeemen, field attendants, and members of the working press, most of whom had blossomed out overnight in their first sunburns of the season. While electricians wired the field and press box for communication with the outside world, the flags at the top of the stadium drooped lifelessly in the still air and the sound truck at the open end of the horse-shoe blared out an endless series of jazz numbers.
First minor casualty of the day was Ralph Tate, unattached decathlon competitor from Stillwater, Okla., who was dazed momentarily when his vaulting pole snapped as he was attempting to clear the bar at 11 feet, 2 inches. Tate fell on his face in the sand pit and lay there for a few moments. Then he shook his head, got up, borrowed a pole from someone else, and sailed over safely on his next attempt.
The broken pole jinx must have been catching, ofr Uyval Jones, Wayne University athlete, whose pole Tate had borrowed, landed in the middle of the crossbar and sheared it in two. A few minutes later when E. Lee Tood, winner of the decathlon, made a successful leap, his pole couldn't stand the altitude and splintered under his weight.
This, like all other Relays days, had its little tragedies. Bill Smutz of Nebraska and John White of Missouri were pressing Boyce Gatewood, Texas flash, for the lead in the finals of the 120-yard high hurdles when they caught their spikes in the same row of hurdles and crashed into the cinders. Both men lay motionless for a moment and then slowly picked each other up and limped off the track, probably cursing the vagaries of fate or the unfriendly gods who had wrecked in a second what it had taken hours of work and sweat to build up.
As the hands of the clock chased each other toward the 3 o'clock mark, the field was cleared of all attendants and competitors while Glenn Cunningham, Archie San Romani, and Blaine and Wayne Ride-
Uyval Jones, Wayne U., Takes Second Place
Men's Intramurals
Muddy fields, which hampered base-running and spilled ambitious fielders, caused several upsets in inter-fraternity softball games Thursday.
Scoring 7 runs in the seventh innning, Phi Psi downed Delta Ch 18 to 6. Ralph Miller and Doug Miller's battery, with John Krum's five hits, including a home run and two triples, cinched the game for the Phi Psi's.
Bill Hogben, with three hits and seven strike-outs to his credit, led the Beta's to an 11 to 3 victory over the Phi Delt's.
Don Cluster chalked up 10 strike-outs in Delta Tau Delta's defeat of the Kappa Sig's 20 to 1.
Pi Kappa Alpha defeated the Sigma Chi's 10 to 6. Most of the scoring came in the first inning, Pi K. A. counting seven runs, and Sigma Chi six. Grayum and Durt pitched for Pi K. A. Warley was on the mound for Sigma Chi.
Geologists Vs. Miners Today
This afternoon at 2 o'clock, the geologists and the miners will hold their annual baseball game. It will take place in South Park. This tilt will be the third annual game between the two divisions of the geology department.
The geologists have won the last two games, but the miners are supposed to have something up their sleeve this year.
out moved into the spotlight. Kansas fans who were hoping almost against hope that the most famous alumnus of their University might, in his farewell to the track, exhibit the form which won him the acclaim of two continents, were doomed to disappointment. The old master not only finished last, but the Kansas Relays record of 4 minutes and 12 seconds which he established in 1934 was shattered by yesterday's winner, Blaine Rideout.
Another well-known miler, John Munski, University of Missouri standout, failed to run true to form. Anchoring the Tiger team in the university distance medley relay, he was clocked unofficially for the mile in 4 minutes and 15 seconds. However, Munski wasn't pushed. Given a 100 yard lead, he loafed around the first lap, slowing momentarily to wave at spectators before settling down to the more serious business of bringing the baton home first.
Perhaps yesterday's performer with the brightest future was Don Boydston, slender Oklahoma A. and M. sophomore, who won the high jump from defending champion Dick Schnack of Iowa State with a leap of 6 feet. 6 inches. Boydston, who is sports editor of the Daily O'Collegian, Oklahoma A. and M. student newspaper, spent most of Friday in the press box and was back again Saturday afternoon, checking results and writing his story, 15 minutes after winning the high jump.
E. Lee Todd, defending champion in the decathlon, successfully defended his title here yesterday in the 10-event opposition. Todd, who was formerly a Nebraska school teacher, is now a graduate student of the University of Colorado.
Second to Todd was Uyval C. Jones, of Wayne University. The champion scored 6,730 points, by winning the 100-meter and 400-meter dashes, and the javelin. Last year, Todd scored only 6,557 points to win the long grind, which is divided into five events for a two-day period.
Following Todd and Jones, was Walter Arrington, Michigan State Negro, who placed third in the decathlon. Arrington then proceeded to go out and enter the broad jump in the open class. After all he had done in the decathlon, Arrington won himself a fourth place in the broad jump event.
Todd has been keeping in condition in hopes that the Olympic will still be held. Although he improved on his last years' total points, he is still almost 1000 points short of the record established by Glenn Morris in 1936.

K.U. Golf Team Whips Nebraska On Links Here
The Jayhawkger golf team showed power yesterday in defeating Big Six opponent Nebraska, 16 to 2, in a dual meet at the Lawrence Country Club course. Nebraska failed to win a single match.
Conrad Voelker was the only winner in the tennis meet with a strong Nebraska team yesterday morning. Kansas lost all the remaining matches and came out on the short end of a 5 to 1 score.
A one over par 73 by Dean Ritchie, was good enough for medalist honors, in the Big Six defending champion's smashing victory over the Huskers. Roderick Wakeland followed with a 78, Bill Gray shot an 82, and Bill McElhenny an 83.
The next matches for the golf and tennis teams will be next Wednesday when the University of Wichita plays here.
The golf summaries:
Twosomes—Ritchie, K.U., defeated Mowbry, N.U., 3-0; Wakeland, K.U., defeated Spomer, N.U., 3-0; McElhenny, K.U., tied Million, N.U., $1\frac{1}{2}$ to $1\frac{1}{2}$; Gray, K.U., defeated Wiedman, N.U., $2\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$.

String Quartet Gets Approval
The scheduled program of the Pro Arte String Quartet from Brussels, Belgium, is finding approval from local musical circles, Dean D. M. Swarthout said today.
Dean Swarthout, manager of the University Concert Course, indicated that a large turn-out will be necessary to pay the cost of the group. Half the expenses will be underwritten by Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge of Cambridge, Mass. She has stated that a large audience this time will be encouragement enough for her to underwrite more famed artists to appear here in the future.
Tickets for the three programs to be held in Fraser hall are one dollar each or $1.50 for a season ticket.
Speech Arts Dinner Postponed
The annual Speech Arts dinner, originally scheduled for tomorrow, night, has been postponed indefinitely, Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic arts announced today.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
Peace With Armor
With the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the Pan-American Union, word comes from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile-all the Americas-confirming the need of unity among western hemisphere nations. The by-product of such unity for the last half century has been Pan-Americanism, an agent with an easy-going surface but an interior decoration of force and action.
The Union is now as peaceful as the Aztec garden of its headquarters in Washington. That it has annihilated ancient barriers was evident when delegates of Bolivia and Paraguay stood up before representatives of other American nations in Panama last September and resolved to let bygones be bygones in the Chaco. United under the covenant of their league, the nations cling to each other and the inviolability of the Monroe doctrine.
With that doctrine back of it as a stop-light to foreign nations, the Union can be nothing less than a great force. Excepting Canada and small European states, the league comprises an entire hemisphere. It controls a 250 million population and a great share of the world's unexploited resources. A steady power, it can hand down ultimatums for which there is no vacillation, no willy-nilly changing by those with an "ax to grind".
Active unity, force, and power are screws in the armor of American defense. They bind up one country with all the rest. They make possible mutual army and navy bases, mutual trade, mutual policy. They substantiate the safety of the U.S. with an army only a little larger than Bulgaria. They secure southern countries which possess only embryonic defense forces.
Ending its first 50 years, the Pan American Union has made good its vow. No foreign armies have marched to conquest on American soil in that period—nor will they in the future if Pan-Americanism has its way.

Business Men Celebrate Tomorrow
Pleasure will take precedence over business tomorrow when students, faculty, and alumni of the School of Business stage their annual Business School Day.
The festivities will consist of lectures, the election of school officers, the annual faculty-senior baseball game in the afternoon, and a banquet at 6 p.m. in the main ballroom of the Memorial Union building.
The election of officers will take place during the day on the main floor of west Frank Strong hall. Parties Announce Candidates
The Coalition party has announced the following slate: president, Lee Huddleston, b'41; vice-president, Ray Buzzell, b'41; secretary, Dotty Wise, b'41; treasurer, Sidney Sklar, b'41.
On the Commerce party's ticket are president, Howard Elegman. b'41; vice-president, Wayne Whelan. b'41; secretary, Mary McLeod. b'41; and treasurer, Junior Collins. b'41.
Seven alumni of the business school will return in the capacity of guest lecturers for the occasion, Dean Frank T. Stockton said today, and will teach classes in economics, money and banking, public service industries, retail merchandising, market management and statistics, and public finance. The instructors will include Arnold R. Jones, '27, member of the Kansas Corporation Commission; Harold Null, '26, investment banker; Archie H. Cowles, '27, general manager of Dodge, Inc.; Donald D.

Geology Frat Pans Gold Today
Four new members of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, professional geology fraternity, panned "gold" on the campus at 1:15 this Tuesday as part of their initiation ceremonies. The formal initiation Tuesday will be followed with a steak fry.
The new members are Alvin Leonard, c'41, Ross Ley, c'42, Rowland Raup, c'41, and Garvin Van Matre, e'41. Dr. Wallace Lee, geologist for the Federal Geology Survey, will be initiated as an associate member.
Mosser Heads Dorm Aid Drive
Donn Messer, c'42, was last night named head of a Men's Student Council fund drive on the campus to help furnish the two men's dormitories which will open next fall.
Mosser plans to canvass the campus and rooming houses to raise enough money to furnish several rooms of a new dorm or to buy their bedding. The goal will be about $2,500.
The M.S.C. voted $25 to the fund for initial impetus.
First reading of a bill to abolish the position of Dance Manager was made last night. The bill would fill the post with a dance committee, composed of two members of the M.S.C. and two of the W.S.G.A. The president of the Student Union Activities board will be the fifth man. This committee will decide when and how often varsity dances will be held.
Some assurance that the Engineering Exposition would be on the University budget was given by C. H. Mullen, '142, when Brewster Powers, e'40, reported the recent exposition to be a success.
Powers is also formulating a plan to hold Negro mid-week dances next year in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Bill Farmer Still M.S.C. President
No New Vote Council Tells Pachacamac
By Roscoe Born, c'41
Cause of all the trouble was the contested election in District I which awarded the presidency to Farmer by a lone vote. Pachacamac claim that since graduate students voted in that district without paying activity fees, the election is invalid. Lots to Say
Nineteen Men's Student Councilmen proved last night that wrangling was not exclusively a western range custom.
At about 9 o'clock the boys started their optical dagger-throwing. When they closed shop at 11:15, Bill Farmer, l'41, was still president-elect of the M.S.C.
Judging from the time spent going over the controversy, one might thing the political leaders had a lot to say on the matter. They did. It ran something like this:
Pachacama spokesman A: "Now Maddox is 'director of the count' and he says those graduate votes make the election unconstitutional. We've got to have a new one. There is no point in the Council accepting the election results when we've got to do it over."

'Sing 'n Swing' All Set To Go At 8:15 In Fraser Theater
By Harry Hill, c'40
While winter still is giving return engagements to a fed-up Mount Oread, spring moves into Fraser theater on the wings of dance and melody tonight when W.S.G.A.'s gala musical review, "Sing'n Swing," opens a three-night run at 8:15.
Sell-out crowds are probable for Wednesday and Thursday performances, but seats are still available today for the premiere. Profits from the production will go to the W.S.G.A. scholarship fund.
The entire cast of 75, including dancers, soloists, chorines, and musicians, staged its final practice session last night before a small closed-rehearsal audience which witnessed the last efforts of directors to weld the assortment of specialty acts and solo numbers into a smoothly-running review.
Built around a theme of swing in a setting of springtime colors and melodies, "Sing 'n Swing" combines the talents of the University's popular entertainers in a production that should be a worthy successor to "Spring Swing" and "Cum Laude."
Ross Robertson's Modern Choir, with solos by Loren Miller, Pattye Jayne Wadley, and Jane Schlagel, harmonizes on three numbers, one a tricky piece called "That Guy Named Si." The chorus of ten coeds includes at least six former beauty queens and the costumes of shorts and skirts in pastel colors displays the talents of the dancers to the best advantage.
Those who have sneaked a preview of the presentation predict that the all-star band, picked from the three leading Hill dance orchestras, will be the sparkling star of the review. Led by Bud Balzer, versatile musician who composed most of the show's ten catchy tunes and made all the arrangements, the band has heavy duties throughout the entire two-hour performance.
Barbara Edmonds, ace song dispenser for Clyde Smith's orchestra, and Donna Hughes, fine artist extraordinary, are featured in vocal numbers and Billie Doris Jarboe and Warren Littlejohn have fast stepping dance routines. Lorenzo Fuller takes the stage for a number of the Negro spiritual type.
make the concert appearance here, it will be necessary for the tenor to make the trip by air. He is at present on tour with the Metropolitan Opera Company.
The School of Fine Arts Gala Concert has been shifted from Wednesday to Monday evening. This will include the presentation of the "Magnificat" (Bach) by the chorus, and a number of solo and orchestra numbers. Most of the rehearsals will be shifted and curtailed to enable this change.

32 High School Seniors Finish Two-Day Testing
Thirty-two weary and well-tested high school seniors will return to their home towns tonight after the two-day whirl of conferences, dinners, and examinations constituting the final hurdle for prospective Summerfield scholars. Ten to fifteen will receive Summerfield scholarships, renewable each year for four years. The number of scholarship recipients depends on the money available and the needs of the winners.
The finalists spent yesterday in individual conferences with members of the Summerfield scholarships committee composed of C. D. Clark, professor of sociology, U. G. Mitchell, professor of mathematics, Ivan C. Crawford, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, Hilden R. Gibson, instructor in political science and Olin Templin, secretary of the Endowment Association. Last night the candidates with 55 resident scholars and the committee dined in the Kansas room.
Written tests were given all day today, interrupted only by a noon luncheon at which time the committee had a personal visit with the candidates.
The 32 finalists were selected from 310 high school students who took a preliminary examination March 23.

Interne Finds Oxford Won't Help in Diagnosis
The distinction of having been a Rhodes Scholar for three years does not help one in diagnosing cases, according to Dr. Raymond D. Pruitt, new intern at Watkins Memorial hospital.
The "one basket" is the examination given hopeful students at the end of the three year course. An additional year may be granted to the student if he feels he is not ready to take the examination, Doctor Pruitt said.
A new intern comes to the hospital every six weeks, but seldom one like Doctor Pruitt. He has attended Baker University, Oxford, and has recently received his M.D. degree here.
Respects the English Way
Discusses Educational Systems
This handsome young doctor was quite willing to discuss the old question of English versus American educational systems. "Comprehensive examinations have a definite superiority," Doctor Pruitt said, "but I don't like the way the English have of putting all their eggs in one basket."
In answer to the old question about
Oxford lectures, Doctor Pruitt remarked that as in America they are likely to become correspondingly worse as the professors become more distinguished.
"However," Doctor Pruitt concluded, "I have only respect for the English system."
Doctor Pruitt has replaced Dr. H. Wallace Lane, son of H. H. Lane, professor of zoology.
Granted Scholarship To Tufts College
Jean Anne Crawford, c'40, has accepted a year's award to the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy on Tuft's College campus at Medford, Mass. This school admits only 50 students a year. Jean, the daughter of Dean and Mrs. Ivan C. Crawford, has majored in economics and hopes to continue this study at Fletcher's.

Counts Outlines Two-Point Plan To Keep Liberty
The lamps of reason are again going out one by one, this time not only in Europe, but possibly the world over, paraphrased Dr. George S. Counts, professor of education at the Teachers college, Columbia University, to the famous remark made by Sir Thomas Gray in 1914.
Speaking on the topic, "Freedom of Thinking and Freedom of Living," before an all-University convocation yesterday, Dr. Counts told the group that freedom of thought, one of our most valuable possessions, is now in grave danger and he outlined a two point program for the protection of that liberty. He explained that the problem required both a direct and an indirect approach.
The direct approach calls for an understanding of the principles of freedom of thought and a realization of what the loss of that right will mean to Americans. The indirect defense entails the elimination of conditions which are hostile to the development of freedom of thought.
Every college and university in the United States should be dedicated to the preservation of freedom of thought, rather than with drawing into the small sphere of their various scientific interests, for without that liberty there can be no progress of any kind, the speaker warned.
The forces that are working the world over are more powerful than most of us suspect, but Dr. Counts believes there is no need for the United States to follow the road selected by the European countries.
Eastern Editor To Speak Here
Frank Ernest Gannett, 64-year-old editor and publisher of a string of eastern newspapers and one of the possible choices of the Republican party for a November presidential candidate, will be brought to Lawrence, May 2, under the auspices of the University Young Republican Club and the Douglas county central committee.
Gannett, who was brought to national recognition primarily because of his opposition to President Roosevelt's court plan, will speak at the Varsity theater the evening of May 2. He is one of the possible Republican choices for the presidency who will make appearances in Kansas this spring under the present plan of the State Republican committee.
Gannett is a graduate of Cornell University and now owner and publisher of 14 daily newspapers in New York state and five in Connecticut. He is a member of the board of directors of the Associated Press and an outstanding Republican leader in the East.

Olgo Eitner, instructor in music theory, will present a half-hour recital over KFKU from 6 to 6:30 tomorrow night.

NYA Workers Get $300,000
A total of $316,258.56 has been paid out to students of the University by the NYA since the introduction of that project in the spring of 1934, Miss Velma Wilson, secretary, announced.
This sum, which represents the entire payroll up to the period of March 1, 1940, has just been computed by members of Miss Wilson's staff.
More than 2,000 students have worked on NYA, Miss Wilson said. The largest single payroll was in the school year 1936-37, when the number of students employed was 803.

Iowa State Series Next
Kansans Chased Indoors By New Foe; Weather Man
By Bob Trump, c'42
As if fighting five other ball clubs for the championship of the Big Six wasn't enough, Mike Getto and his Jayhawks today faced still another rival in the form of the weather man.
Mud an inch deep on the varsity diamond confronted the Kansas players who reported for practice last night, and so they beat a hasty retreat to the stadium, where the batterymen completed with track teams from Texas and Kansas Universities for space in which to loosen up their muscles.
The Jayhawks aren't the only Big Six team which has been
This afternoon, Coach Getto has ordered another workout under the stadium for his pitchers and catchers, and tomorrow he hopes to hold a practice game between his varsity and "Buck" Bukaty's freshman team.
harrassed by inclement weather this spring. Iowa State, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas State—in fact every club except Oklahoma has had more than its share of rainy days. Only the Sooners have been able to hold practice sessions out-of-doors, with any degree of regularity. This state of affairs led one of the Kansas players to observe last night that if the conference officials wanted the schedule to be completed this year, they may have to move all the games down to Norman.
Work Out Under Stadium
The Kansans can't get too much competition before Friday because in the two-day series with Iowa State which confronts them this weekend, they will be meeting a team which last week defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers, two days in succession. Excellent pitching, fine defensive play, and a satisfactory offense have characterized the play of Coach "Cap" Timm's club this year against Big Six teams and outsiders alike.
Iowa State Pitching Ace
Ace of the Iowa State pitching staff is Leon Wilson, who before Friday's game with Nebraska, had pitched 19 innings, striking out 19 men, giving up 11 hits and only two runs. Wilson may oppose Knute Kresie, Kansas sharp shooter, in Friday's game, and if he does, hits are liable to few and far between. Other members of the Cyclone hurling corps are two sophomores, Willard Mylenbusch and Dave Erickson.
Senior Application Blanks Available for Job-Hunters
personal application sheets for seniors of the University seeking employment may be printed at $3 for 100 sheets, including picture, according to Marvin Goebel, secretary of the men's student employment bureau.
The applications will be printed from minеgcographed blanks supplied by the Alumni association and filled out by the students desiring the printed sheets. They will include all significant data usually appearing on application blanks.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Well, this has certainly been a big weekend, with the Relays, and golf and tennis matches with Nebraska. K.U. made a fairly good showing in the Relays Saturday, but our tennis took a dive in front of a powerful Nebraska net squad.
It looks like Kansas, the defending Big Six golf champion, is going to be making a strong bid for championship honors again this year. The Jayhawker linkmen have won all of their matches by lopsided scores. Playing superb golf is Dean Ritchie, who is shooting consistently around par 72. Rod Wakeland has also been hitting the small pellet for good scores. Bill McElhenny and Bill Gray are fighting it out for third place honors. Both shoot around 83.
RELAYS HANGOVERS . . Dick Higgins of Missouri, pulled the surprise of the day, Saturday, when he stuck with defending champion Beefus Bryan in the pole vault, to tie for first place at 13 feet, 3 inches . . . WHAT TO THINK? . . As far as beautiful runners are concerned Glenn Cunningham can still compare with any and all, but old Glenn does not have the old "kick" left in his flame-scarred legs. The old "kick" that brought him fame, world records, and berths on the United States Olympic teams is gone forever. When Glenn does decide to hang up his famous spikes (he should do it soon) he will long be remembered by those followers of sports, as the man "who made the United States mile conscious" . . . Thanks to Blaine Rideout for wearing a white shirt, so that we could tell which of the twins is which . . . John Munski did not get a chance to steal the show, he has a couple of years because a teammate, Marshall Reeves, gave him such a lead in the university distance medley relay, that "Lonesome John" had no competition whatsoever . . . Peculiarity of the day was Don Boydston, Oklahoma A. and M. high jumper, who would walk up to the crossbar, look at it, take a short hippity-hop, let his arms fall full length at his sides, skip a step, then take his final five steps to finish his jump.

was just about the second javelin victim of the two-day session, when a Texas entrant tossed the pointed pole, clearing the scalp of Dawes about four inches. On Friday, during the high school meet, Ed Haley, Topeka javelin thrower and miler, caught a javelin in the calf of the leg. He was released after a few hours rest in the University hospital, authorities saying that his condition granted the release.
AROUND THE BIG LEAGUES . . Baseball has taken the spot light now, with pitchers either making or losing fame right and left . . . The heavy-hitting Detroit Tigers showed famous 21-year-old Bob Feller, of the Cleveland Indians, the way to the showers after he had pitched only three innings Sunday . . . The St. Louis Cardinals showed "blow-off" Dizzy Dean that Wrigley had made a mistake, when he made the long trip into the showers after four innings . . .
This boy Charley Wensloff, of the Kanass City Blues looks pretty slick to this corner . . . Wensloff is the boy wonder who pitched for Joplin last year and won 26 games and dropped only four . . . His right arm is much bigger than his left, and he puts little body action into his pitches . . . He throws mainly with his arm.
Topeka Defeats K.U. in Table Tennis Matches
The University of Kansas table tennis team went down in defeat at the teams of the Topeka Table Tennis Association, 7 to 0, last Saturday. The K.U. team is sponsored by the Student Union Activities committee.
Last time the teams met here, the Topeka team only beat the Jayhawker representatives, 3 to 2. This time, girls from each school participated in individual matches Norma Tibets lost to Baeder, Topeka, and Shirley Irwin was defeated by Merideth, Topeka.
Woodworth, Topeka city champion, and number two man in the state, triumphed over Ham, K.U. Shupe and Black, number one and number two men on the K.U. team, were absent when the Kansas delegation made the Topeka trip.
The summaries:
Men's singles—Peterson, KU., lost to Bayless, Topea; Ham, KU., lost to Woodworth, Topeka; Martin, KU., lost to Patch, Topea; Keyser, KU., lost to Lamm, Topea.

Jack Gardner, basketball coach at the college, pointed out that the present field house seats only 2,800 "including seats on the rafters," and is inadequate to accommodate crowds which attend basketball games.
Gardner said the plans for a new field house call for a seating capacity of 9,000; an indoor track; and an indoor swimming pool.
Arbuckle Heads Men's Pep Club
Members of Ku Ku, men's student pep organization, refrained from their "cheering" activities long enough last night to elect Tom Arbuckle, e'41, president, succeeding Bob Galloway, b'40. Other officers for next year are: Dick Oliver, c'42, vice president; Harold Haney, b'41, secretary; and Danny Lewis, ph'41, treasurer.
In addition to the election of officers Jack Severin, b'41, was selected to head a committee in charge of plans for a spring party.

Sports Parade
By Henry McLemore
dinew York, April 23.—(UP)—No matter what advice I offer you directly from Louisville next week, you string along with Colonel Ed Padley's Bimeche to win the Kentucky Derby.
I'm telling you this before I get here because I know from past evidence that Louisville during Derf week does things to a man's judgment; to say the least. Many a year he gone there ready to back the lid horse only to get talked out pit by gentlemen with goatees on their chins, glasses in their hands, and convincing talk of inside information.
he became completely sold on Bimech when, at Jamaica yesterday, I talked into the paddock to get out of the rain and had a talk withanny Jim Fitzsimmons, the "Mister terdowwho trains for William Woodward's belail stud and the Wheaty stables. As the rain beat down did the horses came and went for the first and second races, "Mister Bitz," who is now starting his 55th war on the turf, gave his opinion of the coming Kentucky Derby.
"It'll be Bimelich, and easy," he said, "if the fellow is in shape. And sure he will be. Hurley'll see that. Right now it looks as if the rest of us will be going to Kentucky just for the ride. No, that's all, all that talk about Bimelchie but being in shape because of the weather doesn't have anything to with getting a horse ready for a race. You can ready a horse, regardless of the rain and cold and snow. The only catch is, you don't know how he is going to run. Our only hope in the Derby is that Bimelchie, though he be fit as hands can take him, just won't be the horse in May 4 that he was last fall. If he happens to be—well, we'll just chasing Bradley's silks all the way around."
That's a pretty compliment for amelech, because "Mister Fitz"ows a thing or two about the arby. He has sent three winners in the post at Churchill downs—allant Fox, Omaha and Johnstown and stands second only to the late arby Dick Thompson, who saddled his winners for Colonel Bradley. He isn't sure what horses he will up to Louisville this year. He is working with Asp, Snow Ridge and ferry Knight for the Wheatley Table, and Fenelon, Dusky Fox, boxflame, Foxleigh and Flarrette for alair. Right now Fenelon and ferry Knight, a pair of 40 to 1 shots, on the winter books, are the only ones considered as possible starters. Not "Mister Fitz" told me yesterday
he would charge in the Wood Memorial Jamaica Saturday and that how cey fared would decide which ones it a ride to the Bluegrass country. While I was talking to "Mister tz" we were joined by Hirsch Ja-

Alphin, Raney to Chicago
Herbert G. Allpin, instructor of physical education, and William T. Taney, field representative in first aid and life saving for the American Red Cross, are in Chicago today, attending the National Physical Education Convention.
After leaving Lawrence, Sunday morning, Allpin and Raney made trips at Des Moines, Marshalltown, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the way to Chicago.
cobs, for several years the leading money winner among the trainers and a chap who knows all there is to know about a race horse from fetlock to forehead. And guess who he likes for the Derby? Bimelech. Jacobs doesn't believe there is any horse in the country who has the class of the Bradley beauty.
"Unless something comes out of the woods, some horse we don't know anything about, it'll be Bimelech," Jacobs said. Asked if he thought C. S. Howard's Mieland might prove to be this "dark horse" Jacobs said he didn't know anything about him except what was in the form of charts, and while that made him look like a pretty good thing, he doubted if the western hope had the speed and power of Bimelech.
So, there you have the opinions of two of the greatest trainers in the country. I have the same information, but I have a sneaking feeling that by next Wednesday night I'll be sitting in the Kentucky Hotel ending up a story with a plea to all of you to forget what I said about Bimelech and take a flyer on a great new find of mine. Don't you do it.

In a telegraphic swimming meet sponsored by Quack Club, Mary Lewis, c'40, placed sixth in the backstroke race and Ingrid Frestadius, c'sp, placed tenth in the breaststroke race, Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, announced Saturday. An 80-yard relay team composed of Mary Lewis, Marjorie Rader, ed'40, placed fourth and Jane Blaney, c'40, Virginia Anderson, ed'40, and Mary Lewis on a 60-yard medley relay team placed sixth.
The Quack Club representatives swam in the Central division of schools with an enrollment of 1000 women. Illinois Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Indiana are also in this division.
The swimming meet was held at the official pool at Washburn College in Topeka.
Kappa Alpha Theta lost to Chi Omega by a score of 5 to 14 Friday afternoon. The Chi Omega score was held down by Jean Perry, pitcher for Theta. Jane Blaney plaved catcher.

Chicago, April 23.—(UP) — Luke Appling, Chicago White Sox short stop, nursed a lacerated left knee today and manager Jimmy Dykes said that it was uncertain whether he would play against the Detroit Tigers. He was spiked accidentally yesterday in the opening game of the Sox-Tiger series when Hank Greenburg was put out at second base to complete a double play.
Ada Moseley, pitcher for Chi Omega, was backed by accurate fielding. Ruth Linley caught.

Golfers, Netmen To Play Wichita
Trying for their third win in as many starts, the Jayhawker golf team plays host to the University of Wichita in matches here tomorrow afternoon.
The University of Kansas netmen will try for their first win when they meet the Wichita tennis team on the courts southwest of the stadium. They lost a close 3 to 2 decision to Kansas City University, and by a 5 to 1 score to a strong Nebraska队.
Not a match has been lost by the linkmen in the two meets they have participated. They opened their season by swamping the University of Kansas City 17 to 1, and in their first Big Six dual meet scored a 16 to 2 win over the Nebraska swingers.
Dean Ritchie and Roderick Wakeland have been pacing the Big Six defending champions with near-par scores. In the Kansas City University match, Wakeland scored a 75 for medalist honors, but Ritchie, golf captain and Kansas state amateur champion, went around the 18-hole Country Club course in a one over par 73 to lead the linkmen against Nebraska. Bill McElhenny and Bill Gray have been shooting consistently in the low 80's for third place honors.
All golf matches will be played on the Lawrence Country Club course.

Chicago, April 23 —(UP)—A change of scenery is the best remedy in the business for a ball player who's lost his confidence and already it has worked a major miracle for rowdy Dick Bartell.
Change of Scenery Aids Dick Bartell
Bartell was hooted out of the National League last season. Every time a ball was hit his way the crowd roared, "Another boot for Bartell." He was a colossal flop as shortstop for the Chicago Cubs and he's glad to get away—except for one thing.
"It's great to be with Detroit, but I'd like to have had one more year with the Cubs," he said. "I still think I can play good ball in this town. I deserved quite a bit of the booing I took last year, but I'd like to show 'em I'm not that bad."
You wouldn't know his now. As shortstop for the Tigers, he is everything the Cubs thought he'd be last season—and wasn't. He's off to a flying start. Once more the hustling sure-footed Bartell who played consistent ball for Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York before ending his National League days with the Cubs.
He made a hit with Detroit fans in his first home appearance with a near-sensational job of fielding. He hasn't made an error this season
and although that's only five games he didn't have many five game errors less stretches last season.
"I was trying too hard last season," Dick admitted. "I knew it. Everybody knew it. I did everything I could to settle down but it didn't do any good."
The Cubs were anxious to get Bartell. They insisted he be included in the deal for Hank Leiber and anxious as they were to land big Hank, they wouldn't take him without Bartell.
That put Dick on the spot. The Cubs had given up one of the best fielding shortstops in the game—Bill Jurges—in that deal. Bartell was branded as washed-up before he started. An ankle injury led to reports that his arthritis was back again, he got off to a late start, played before he was ready and never hit it off.
Nobody knows better than Bartell how terrible he was last season.
He's no world-beater now and probably won't be again, but he's a dead game guy who has licked himself.
"You don't know how good it feels," he grinned, "to have an idea where that ball is going when you throw it."

Rally! Rally!
The Men's Student Council's proposal to raise money to furnish the University's three men's dormitories at last gives the student body a chance to get in on the ground floor of aiding, one of the Hill's greatest and worthiest projects.
So far, the student body hasn't contributed to the dormitories. The alumni, the Lawrence merchants, are all giving what they can afford to help house needly and deserving students.
You seniors who will be "old grads" next year will be mighty proud of those three buildings. You underclassmen will get a thrill from pointing out the dormitories to your visiting friends. So open up the strings to the purses that sent the band to Washington, that sent the telegram to the basketball team, that has given money to every worthwhile cause. Nickles, dimes, quarters, dollars, let 'em roll... Those unurnished dorms need the fruits of that University of Kansas spirit.

Praise for Pan-Hel
Praise for the University's Pan-Hellenic council in taking the initiative to require tuberculosis examinations of fraternity and sorority food handlers was expressed recently by Louise Strachen of the National Tuberculosis Association. "The news from Kansas" should provide an incentive for other colleges and universities to pass similar regulations, Miss Strachen said. It was suggested that the National Pan-Hellenic council be informed of the action. Continuing, Miss Strachen said that all of the colleges in the country should be informed about this "event".
But before Kansas sets itself up as a model for other universities to pattern similar regulations, it should first consider its own problem. As matters now stand, tuberculosis precautions, so far as food handlers are concerned, apply only to about one-fourth of the students enrolled here. And public health begins at home.
The local Pan-Hellenic council, however, is to be commended for its action, and it is well that it be accorded national recognition. But there is much to be done before Kansas can rest with any peace of mind—on its laurels.

Salesmen Engineers
While a lot of departments such as journalism and speech and dramatic arts do a good deal of ham writing and acting to advertise their wares, the engineers believe in getting down to brass tacks and showing just what they have on the "ball." Judging from the comments of a few of 5.000 persons who visited the School of Engineering's exposition last week, the lads who "carry their brains on a slide rule" put on a show that overly-justified their existence and the $700 allotted them by the M.S.C
Departments in the school worked up a pretty hot contest. The trophy that went to the department putting on the best show was sought after by every architectural, mechanical, civil, electrical, petroleum, and mining engineer on the campus. Naturally, that fancy exhibit of the Architect's won the layman's attention. The Electrical's show, however, won the trophy. The other exhibits had that exciting quality of the unknown and left the impression that there was more than met the unutored
eye. Let one of those eager-eyed engineers try to tell you all about it and you would be convinced there was.
For tax-payers who have become soured during recent years from getting various and sundry run-arounds for their money, the exposition should have proved heartening. The engineers didn't let down the Who's Who In Engineering rating of twentieth in the nation in number of outstanding graduates. It was a neat job in educational advertising. Here's hoping money will be forthcoming two years hence for another engineering exposition.

Whoa, Girls!
Until its recent election, Mortar Board was reverently be lieved to be a paradisiacal group in which the virtues of scholarship, character, and unselfish service to the University reside. The feminine cherubim who ascend to this heaven are suppose to have a vast fund of additional virtues. But doubt has arise and students wonder if Mortar Board is all it should be.
Doubt arose first in the "heaven" itself. One of the scholar cherubs refused to go to Honor's Convocation because she was not at all pleased with a few of the newly elected members of the angelic board. She had approved only a part of those chosen Another, observing during the election that three angels, who earthly address is Corbin hall, were exhibiting Luciferian attitudes, took council with her conscience but decided to remain on the Board Celestial.
Of course, none of the angels was perfect. Their sins, how ever, were a bit less obvious than those of the three Cornelius Most of the group had preferences and dislikes but tried to merge them in the task of allowing or refusing admittance to their empyrean stronghold. But the three Lucifers dealt in personalities; they used "Don't like her" as a basis for refusing membership in the collegiate paradise. Nothing could dissuade the Dark Ones from their selfish course and "Don't like her" kept least two women from attaining campus immortality who has scholarship, character, and unselfish service to the University their credit.
Even a newly initiated Mortar Board member is disillusioned. She doesn't believe it is an honor to belong to a group that he been selected partly through politics, powerful friendships petty likes and dislikes. One of the members of the past year board goes so far as to say that the whole thing should be abashed. "It doesn't mean anything, anyway," she said.
Not long before this, one of these unfallen Lucifers had made her spirit known. To a clay-footed, gossip-mongering column this Dark One had imparted a malicious tale, quite untrue, about a sister-angel which she hoped would be published, thus injuring the innocent one's reputation and furthering her own self-interests in the W.S.G.A. election. Was thi san angel or "serpent arm'd with mortal sting"?
It isn't necessary, though, to abolish Mortar Board. The Boat is a worthwhile way of expressing recognition of the achievements of women students. The idea of Mortar Board is excellent. It is an over-organized campus with groups such Corbin hall running over those whom they don't like, with independent students squaring off against Greek organizations, wi clubs, cliques, factions of every kind demanding special loyalty that contributes to Mortar Board's ills.
Whenever devotion to truth, honesty, and unselfish service the University replaces the loyalty to special groups, Mort Board can assume in reality that position to which it now pertends. Until then, the real leaders will have to stand on merits of their own achievements and not the emblem of Torch.

Business Men-company; and Louis L. Miller, '30, actuary and secretary of the United Life Insurance company, Salina. Ball Game Big Event
Fun will be the keynote of the afternoon's events when the faculty will vie with the seniors for victory in their baseball game. In 15 years the faculty has won only one game, so they'll have blood in their eyes. Due to the fact there will be no classes in the afternoon for business school students an earlier game between the juniors and seniors will be played at 2:30.
The seniors have advised the faculty they will slug the ball so hard beating the juniors that there probably will be nothing left of it by the time they get ready to take the faculty's measure. But some doubt arises as to the reliability in this boast when it is observed that the battery for the faculty will consist of "Fireball" John Hocevar pitching, and L. L. Waters catching.
Banquet at Union
When all have "had their inning", or had their "innings", as it were, they'll satisfy their appetites at the banquet, at which main speakers will be Hal Luhnow, of the Wm. Moelker Furniture company, of Kansas City, Mo., W. W. Davis, chairman of the department of history, and Prof. Dominico Gagliardo, toastmaster.
New officers will be announced at the banquet and entertainment will come from Ross Robertson's Modern Choir and business school "talent". Tickets are on sale for 50 cents at the School of Business office.
The familiar straw hats worn by business school seniors will come out tomorrow to lend color to the day's festivities.
No New Vote-dox is only our advisor and his advice is not mandatory. And besides he never heard our side. As far as the Council is conferred it was a good election and we're going to accept it."
A Good Reason
Pachacama spokesman B: "How do you know the Council thinks it was a good election?"
P. S.G.L. spokesman B: "Because P.S.G.L. won the election and P.S.G.L. has a majority in the Council."
But of course this conversation didn't take very much time so the boys just passed those lines around. When everybody on both sides had served once as "spokesman A" and as "spokesman B" somebody called for the question.
But it takes two-thirds majority to allow the Council to vote on the question and spindly Pachacamac still had enough strength to prevent a vote.
So the boys took out their scripts again and rehearsed the whole play over. Once more the call for question was lost.
All the councilmen got back from recess but one Pachacamac. Immediately a call for question went up and this time Pachacamac wasn't strong enough to prevent it.
By this time the boys were very tired and took a 10 minute recess, during which they ad libbed through the skit again.
Farmer's election was accepted by an 11-6 vote.

The eternal movie quorum will doubtless be wildly enthusiastic about the elevating and entertaining horror-cycle which is beginning at the local plaster-palace. America's favorite chill is Boris Karloff, but the more direct British call their cinema-terror . . . Tod Slaughter.

What they say: "Now the plain people have noticed that education is getting longer and longer. Fifty years ago people learned to read out of a spelling book at 6 years of age, went to highschool at 12, and taught school on a third-class certificate at 16. After that, two years in a saw-mill and two at medical school made them doctors, or one year in a saw-mill and one in divinity fitted them for the church. For law they needed no school at all, just three summers on a farm and three winters in an office.
"All our great men in North America got this education. Pragmatically it worked. They began their real life still young. With the money they didn't spend they bought a wife. By the age of 30 they had got somewhere, or nowhere. It is true that for five years of married life, they carried, instead of a higher degree, bills of groceries, coal, doctors and babies' medicine. Then they broke out of the woods into the sunlight, established men . . . at an age when their successors are still demonstrating, interning, or writing an advanced thesis on social impetus."

Lipovsky Wins Phi Sigma Medal
The Phi Sigma biological society recently awarded their annual scholarship medal to Louis Lipovsky, c'40. H.B. Hungerford, professor of entomology, announced yesterday.
Two years ago Lipovsky spent three months with an organized party in the jungles of Old Mexico collecting bugs.
Lipovsky, an entomology major, was selected because of his outstanding work in scientific research. Professor Hungerford tells, as an example of Lipovsky's careful work, about members of the biological faculty bringing back from Minnesota a very unusual species of microscopic water bug which they felt did not exist anyplace closer to Kansas than Minnesota. But not long after they had been back Lipovsky went down back of Snow hall and took the same kind of bug out of Potter lake.
Lawrence Kan, April 23—Dr. Joseph Dean, for 28 years an attorney in Germany, will speak on "The Development of Law in Germany under the Third Reich" at a law school convocation at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning.
"This is the only one of several excellent jobs of research that Lipovsky has done during his years here at school," said Professor Hungerford.
The three members of the Phi Sigma committee who selected the scholarship holder were: Prof. H. H. Lane, Prof. H. B. Hungerford, and Prof. Parke Woodard.
Lawyers to Hear German Attorney
Doctor Dean, now associated with a drug company in Kansas City, Mo., holds degrees from universities in Berlin, Breslau, and Erlanger. He received the degree of doctor of jurisprudence from Erlanger in 1907.
In Germany, Doctor Dean served as legal adviser to two large German banks.
Tau Beta Phi
To Initiate Fecht
Artur J. Fecht, e'41, will be initiated as an honorary member into Tau Beta Phi engineering fraternity this evening, Professor F. A. Russell of the engineering department announced today.
Mr. Fecht, whose home is in Houston, Texas, was a member of the Sigma Xi fraternity while he was at the University of Kansas. After graduation he served in the World War, locating enemy batteries by sound ranging. Since 1925, he has been affiliated with the McCallum Explorater Co., where he does geophysical work.

Housing May Get $250 From Councils
Headed by a $250 appropriation for the Men's Student Housing Bureau, the appropriations approved by the Central Committee of the Student Activity Ticket in its meeting yesterday afternoon now await final approval by the M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. Henry M. Wernermen's student adviser and chairman of the committee, said that although all the appropriations considered are worthy technical considerations keep some of them from benefitting from the Student Activity Ticket Reserve Fund.
The appropriations and decisions.
1. $250 for the continuance of the work of the Men's Housing Bureau, approved. This is the first appropriation from this fund for the Housing Bureau.
12. $550 for the completion of the work of leveling the west half of the intramural field south of the hill approved. This money will go toward machine excavation. Mr. Werner expressed the belief that there may be some other source for the labor costs.
3. $200 for the establishment of a Student Speakers Bureau, not approved. This bill was up for second consideration.
4. $50 for a K.U. Publicity Bureau, not approved.
5. $500 for dormitory fund for Al-

Sailor Straws Blossom Out for Annual Business Day Ball Game, Election, Banquet on Card
By Bill Koester, c'41
Running for office in the school's election were eight students whose race up until 1 o'clock paralleled that of the tortoise and the snail. Little activity was shown at the polls on the main floor of west Frank Strong hall. But this afternoon's holiday for the businessmen is expected to send more voters into action.
senior baseball game this afternoon was "Fireball" John Hocevar, red-hot hurler for the faculty, who is confident the tables will be turned this year in favor of his teammates, whose forces have won only one game in 15 years.
"The game's in the bag," asserts John, "and if they'd like it that way the seniors and juniors can merge and play us with 20 men, we'll still whip them."
No report has been received from the seniors as to how bad they'll lick the faculty.
Primed for the annual faculty-
Classrooms were resounding with good advice this morning as the guest lecturers picked from the school's
alumni told undergraduates how they've put into practice the theories they learned while "slaving at the State U." Courses took on the aspect of picnics, however, as one or two stories of the "good ol' days" flavored the dull routine of business with a little merriment.
For hungry ballplayers and rooters there will be an answer to the cry, "When do we eat?" tonight at the banquet in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building at 6 o'clock. Small favors emblematic of the business school will be given to each member. A highlight of the banquet will be the talk of Hal Luhnow, of

Will Osborne, with his slide trombone and his smooth syncopated slide rhythm, has been signed to play the Senior Cakewalk Friday, May 10, Fred Litttooy, dance manager, announced today. The danceable Osborne orchestra features Barbara Bush, Dick Rogers, and Will himself on the vocals, plus a trio of unique slide trumpets.
Officers Inspect R.O.T.C. Corps
The glitter of brass on the uniforms of members of the R.O.T.C. shown more brightly today than usual because of the annual training and administrative inspection which began yesterday and will be concluded this evening.
Col. Raymond W. Briggs, R.O.T. C. officer of the seventh corps area arrived this morning from Little Rock, Ark., to make the administrative inspection of the officers in charge, the buildings, and equipment.
Littooy Signs Will's Band For May 10
Mai, H. W. Cochran, of George Washington University in St. Louis, and Lt. Col. W. E. Lucas of Leavenworth High School began the annual training inspection yesterday.
The parade and review of the entire R.O.T.C. on the drill field back of the gymnasium was accompanied by the Kansas University band.
Buchanan Gets $1,500 Columbia Fellowship
Eugene Buchanan, I'40, has received a $1,500 fellowship for graduate work in law from Columbia University, Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law announced today.
The fellowship, which begins Sept. 1, 1940, is for one year during which Buchanan will complete residence work for the degree of Doctor of Science in law.
Buchanan, whose home is in Chanute, plans to study Constitutional Law preparatory to teaching.
Not only is he one of the high ranking students in the School of Law, but also chief justice of the Student Supreme Court, and manager of the School of Law Book Exchange. He completed his work for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in January.
About 10 men receive these fellowships each year. Granted on a national competitive basis they are
open to students and teachers. Ordinarily one young law school graduate is included in this group, and Buchanan won that fellowship this year.
In commenting upon the award today, Dean Moreau said, "Buchanan is one of our outstanding students. At Columbia, he will be in a class of about 10 of the finest legal minds in the United States and this award is a singular honor for the University and the School of Law as well as for Buchanan."
The unit will move here directly from its present engagement at the Casa Manana in Hollywood. After the Cakewalk the band will go on to Frank Dailey's Meadowbrook, Cedar Grove, N.J.
Osborne and his entertainment-makers have been featured in movie shorts and over national radio hookups. Last fall he opened for a long stay at the Hotel Sherman's Panther Room in Chicago.

(Continued on page eight)
The second act opens with the band whipping through some hot licks on "You've got Me in a Spin", featuring Jack Moore on the drums and a vocal by Jimmy Hammers. Then comes Jim Brown. His "Satchmo" act is one of the funniest bits in the show. Last night's audience called him back three times.
"Sing 'n Swing", the W.S.G. A.'s musical revue which opened last night in Fraser theater, is like Kansas in the springtime. When springtime in Kansas is good, it's very, very good, but when it's bad . . . it's horrid. That's the way "Sing 'n Swing" is.
Barbara Edmonds is Swell
The all-student cast has everything. Soloists are good. The tunes are excellent. The band is the best the hill can offer. There are at least two first rate dancers and a half dozen able actors. Yet the revue is a hot and cold affair.
The first act is slow. Irrepressible Larry David salvages part of it with his hilarious aesthetic dance. Straight faced with hairy knees aknockin', he stumbles onto the stage just as a good part of the audience is wondering whether to leave or stay because of the $0.35 entrance fee David keeps them in their seats.
From here on the show gets better. Lorenzo Fuller's rich voice in Ruth Wolf's "Listen" and that finale ends the act with promise of better entertainment to come.
The best the show offers is Pattye Jayne Wadley in "That Guy Named Si", Jim Brown's imitation of Louis Armstrong, the dancing of Billie Jean Jarboe and Warren Littlejohn, Barbara Edmonds in "Where Am I", and the first act finale. The worst will be obvious to audiences tonight and tomorrow.

Another Artist Cancels Music Week Appearance
Paul Musikonsky, nationally-known violinist, who was scheduled to appear at the University during Music Week, has cancelled his contract. He is ill in New York City.
Pulling a "Lawrence Tibbett" on Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts, Musikonsky left another spot on the Music Week open. Following receipt of the call, Dean Swarthout phoned New York City and secured the services of his daughter, Evelyn Swarthout, concert pianist of that city. She will appear on Tuesday night April 30.
Miss Swarthout received her B.M. degree in piano from the University in 1932. For her program here she will give the recital which she gave in New York City this month.
Lawrence Tibbett earlier in the week cancelled his contract which would have brought him to Hoch auditorium during Music Week. Richard Crooks, star of the Firestone Hour, was immediately signed to fly here and fill the spot on April 29.
Miss Swarthout's last appearance in Lawrence was in 1934. Activity tickets will admit students to her concert.

Things in print in Paris that ignore the censor are swank patterns on spring crepes.

In animal prints are black penguins standing on snow white ground. In another white cats sit on navy ground, half of them necktied with pink, half in blue. Mice motifs scamper over a black creme.

Dickinson Changes Booking Policy
Stan Schwahn of the Lawrence theaters today announces that he is inaugurating a new booking policy for the Dickinson in which two pictures will run each week, instead of one, as in the past.
The new policy will be effective this week. Schwahn feels that it will meet the approval of the student body. The pictures that are coming up for the three and four-day runs will be on the same high quality as those in the past.
The registration for the institute last year was 175 and an even larger enrollment is expected for the coming session.

Donald Taylor, graduate scholar in psychology, and holder of a Rhodes scholarship, this week saw the beginning of the realization of his boyhood ambition when he was awarded a University Fellowship at Harvard University.
Rhodes Scholar Accepts Harvard Fellowship
Don, who is a graduate of Baker University, won the Rhodes scholarship for the six-state area here in the middle west in December, 1938, which entitled him to two years of study at Oxford University.
About the time for Don's departure the European war broke out, and with it came the suspension of all Rhodes scholarships for the duration of the conflict.
When it became apparent that it was unlikely that there would be any immediate cessation of hostilities.
abroad, Don made several applications for appointments next year.
In return, he received offers of fellowships from Cornell and Northwestern, and offers of assistantships from the University of Minnesota, Northwestern, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. He accepted the appointment by Princeton University and made plans to do work there during the coming year.
That was three weeks ago. Two days before the deadline, April 15, set by the American Association of Universities, he received a telegram from Harvard University offering him a full-expense fellowship.
As was his privilege under the inter-university agreement, Don resigned his assistantship and accepted the Harvard appointment.

Jayhawkers Point To Drake
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Kansas vs. Wichita today on the links and on the courts. Either of these two attractions will be in the spotlight this afternoon on the Lawrence Country Club golf course or the University varsity tennis courts.
Intramural baseball teams are having a little difficulty with their schedules, since the weather has been bad. Some of the pitchers are beginning to shape up into nice shape now, and don't think that there aren't some good softball pitches on the Hill.
Joey Kuhel, former first baseman for the Kansas City Blues, is leading the American League home run hitters. Kuhel is now playing the initial sack for the Washington Senators.
I'll put my money on the Jayhawker link team against the Shockers, because Oklahoma laid the Wichita team by the wayside, 16 to 2. Monday afternoon. Since the Sooners massacred the western team so badly, certainly the defending Big Six champions, Kansas, should take today's visitors for a ride.
The Texas track team can be found trotting around the Kansas stadium any time nowadays. The southern boys are just hanging around, waiting to go to the Drake Relays, next Friday and Saturday. Among the group that is, here, is Coach Clyde Littlefield, head starter of the Kansas Relays, Jack Hughes, 250-pound discus champion of the Texas and Drake Relays, and Beefus Bryan, also title holder of the Texas and Kansas Relays records in the pole vault.
NOTICE the business school seniors with the straw hats . . . Prize of all is Bruce Voran's job with the "blue ribbon on it."
Letter awards were announced today by the Athletic Board in swimming, freshman football, and basketball. Varsity football letters were announced awhile back.
OUT ON THE LIMB is Horace Mason, when he predicts that the Boston Red Sox will win the American League pennant. Guess that means that they will have to defeat the Yanks, and THAT IS SOME JOB.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON the Big Six track teams, especially Nebraska and Oklahoma. The Cornhuskers have been hampered by bad weather conditions. Gene Littler, who was just barely nosed out by Myron Piker, Northwestern, in the 100-yard dash here Saturday, will be a man to watch in the Big Six outdoor meet . . . He also stars in the 220 and 440-dashes . . .

10 Thinclads to Make Trip to Annual Relays
By Carty Dawes, c'42
Drake University stadium in Des Moines, Iowa, will be the site of the thirty-first Annual Relays and will be crowded with an estimated 3,000 athletes from 40 universities and 60 colleges in a two-day meet, Friday and Saturday. The Iowa State high school meet, also held on Friday, will add both numbers and color to the day.
Coach Bill Hargiss and Gwinn Henry will take cars on the 254-mile trip, in which will ride at least 10 Jayhawker trackmen, all, but one of which are runners. It is not decided whether expenses for three more, Bill Bevan, Jack O'Hara, and J. R. Jones,
will be forthcoming. Hargiss said, "we will take at least two carloads."
O'Hara and Bevan are pole vaulters, and J. R. Jones is a broad-jumper, all of which may make the trip.
Harris Still Out
Ray Harris, who was predicted by Coach Hargiss to be one of the best three or four milers in the country this year, will not attempt to run on his injured foot. The instep is healing nicely, but he will not run until he is sure it is cured, which may be another week or so, Hargiss maintains.
The team will leave the Memorial stadium at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon for Des Moines, on the three-day trip. They will return as soon as the Relays are over.
Fine Relay Teams There
Some of the finest teams in the country will be on hand to defend and break records before a crowd of probably 15,000 or 16,000 people.
Indiana is bringing fine two-mile relay and distance medley teams. Penn State will have a crack two-mile team. Michigan and Ohio both have one-mile relay and distance medley teams of outstanding ability. Wisconsin has a good sprint medley and Notre Dame has an equally as good distance medley.
The Kansans will be in a fast field of competition, but their coach is expecting them to turn in their best performance of the year.
Entries from Kansas are as follows:
Sprint relay—Greene, Scott, Hamilton. Mathes.
880-yard relay—Greene, Scott
Hamilton, Mathes.
One-mile relay—Greene, Reed,
Mathes, Hamilton.
Two-mile relay—Ryan, Hatfield,
Edwards. Thompson.
120-yard high hurdles-Foy.
Four-mile relay—Ryan, Hatfield,
Edawds, Thompson.
The class in mid-continent stratigraphy under Dr. R. C. Moore, professor of geology, took a field trip Sunday through Jefferson, Atchison, and the southern part of Doniphan counties. Observations were made on a group of limestone beds that are known to geologists as the Topeka formation.
Study Limestone Beds On Geology Field-Trip
Those who took the trip with Dr. Moore are Karl Becker, William Bramlette, James Clark, Russell Jeffords, Jacob Lemmons, R. P. Keroher, Earl Marshall, Fred Swain and Charles Williams, all graduate students.
Letter Winners In Three Sports Are Announced
At a meeting of the Athletic Board Saturday, Gwinn Henry recommended varsity letters in basketball and swimming, and numerals in football.
Eleven letters were awarded in basketball to the team that carried Kansas to the finals in the N.C.A.A. After climaxing one of Kansas' greatest years, letters were awarded to Dick Harp, Don Ebling, Robert Allen, Howard Engleman, Bruce Voran, T. P. Hunter, Bill Hogben, Jack Sands, Bob Johnson, Ralph Miller, and John Kline.
In the aquatic field, Coach James Raport turned out some fine swimmers. Those receiving letters are Gene Nelson, Marion Cooper, Lloyd Koelling, Kenneth Rosebush, Frank Wilson, and Joe Morton. Numerals were awarded to Charles Bliss, Bill Mackie, Earl Musser, and Paul Thayer.
Among those receiving freshmen football numerals are: Steve Meade, Irven Hayden, Walt Sheridan, Albert Zernickow, Ross Ralph, Gregory Studer, Bob Hagen, Paul Hardman, Dan Bernstein, Gilbert Egbert, Floyd Svoboda, Lloyd Svoboda, Bill Blanding, Dick Miller, Paul Conway, James Zimmerman, Don Pollom, Grant Hunter, Tony James, Elmo Maiden, Harlan Altman, Wallace Hinshaw, and Don Hill.
Hill's Powerhouse Gets New Boiler
A new 502 horse-power boiler is being added to the five old boilers of smaller capacity in the powerhouse.
The addition is necessary because of the higher steam pressure required to heat the new buildings that have been and are being added to the campus, according to P. H. Leibbrand, chief engineer of Buildings and grounds.
The regular crew in the powerhouse is setting up the new equipment in their spare time. Most of the metal parts are already in place and the brick furnace walls are now being layed.
The boiler will be used next fall.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Iowans Bring Strong Team For Tilt Here
"All things come to him who waits," and so this afternoon, after several days of prolonged inactivity, Coach M. Gettc will take his Kansas baseball squad out of the gloom of the field house, into the sunshine of the varsity diamond.
The chance for regular practice has come none too soon, because only two days separate the Jayhawks from a head-on collision with the Iowa State Cyclones, and Coach "Cap" Timm is coming south with a team of Cyclones which has been causing a major commotion this spring throughout the tall corn state.
Opening the season against Simpson College on April 5, the Iowa State nine walked off with a 7 to 0 victory. Leon Wilson, junior pitching star, blanked the Simpson team in registering the first shutout by a Big Six hurler this year. The following day, the Cyclone sluggers drew a bead on the fences at Clyde Williams Field and pounded out a 14 to 3 triumph.
Last Friday, with Wilson again in the box, the Cyclones defeated Nebraska 5 to 3. Wilson outpitched Sid Held, rangy Cornhusker basketball ace, and allowed only six hits. On Saturday, Iowa State came right back to make a clean sweep of the series and climb into undisputed possession of first place in the Big Six standings, with two victories against no losses.
The Iowa State infield is composed of Bob Dappen, a sophomore from Brooklyn, on first base, Fred Gordon or Gale Snell, both veterans at second, Al Budolffon, Iowa State basketball regular, at short, and Doug Strohbehn, junior letterman, at third.
Only one outfielder, Bob Benedict, has had any experience, but Dale DeKoster, Clyde Wilson, and Paul Visser have been showing enough in practice to warrant regular jobs on the varsity this season.
Coach Timm has no worries about the catcher's position for Captain John Thompson will take care of most of the backstopping with sophomore Jimmy Vigdal ready to step into the mask and protector should anything happen to Thompson.
3,000 Athletes Entered In Annual Drake Relays
Des Moines, Iowa, April 24 - (UP)
At least 3,000 athletes have entered the thirty-first running of the annual Drake Relays, university officials said today. The relays will be run Friday and Saturday. The eight-man University of Texas team, including three Kansas Relays champions, were the first to the competing athletes to arrive for the classic.
High School Boys Get Good Workout With Kansas Cagers
Fifty high school basketball players were invited by Dr. "Phog" Allen to work out with the varsity team the morning of the Kansas Relays. The varsity put on three or four plays, and the remainder of the time was spent in shooting baskets. The purpose of inviting the boys was merely "to give the boys an hour of recreation" Doctor Allen informed. Last year high school basketballs players were invited for the same reason.
Those who were able to come were: Harley King, Iola; Ray Evans, Leo Headrich, Bill Brill, John Bortka, John Noone, all of Kansas City, Kans.; Paul Turner, Shawnee Mission.
Kenneth Love, Hutchinson; Bill Cochrane, Salina; Jimmy Hamilton, Weir; Jack Broadhurst, Pittsburg; Bob Fletcher, Holton; Eldon "Red" Hawks, Hutchinson; Jack Beck, Dwight; Glenn Mize, Bonner Springs; Burrett Tomlinson, Bob Sheridan, Ballard, all of Kansas City, Mo.; Kenneth Dugan, Circleville; Bill Roller, Ellis; Gilbert Sollenberger, Hutchinson; Frank Stuckey, Hutchinson; Ralph Parks, Lee Crrips, Lewis crips, Lawrence Johnson, all of Miller; Joe Mzhicktens, Holton; Bob Dole, Leon Mal, Bud Smith, all of Russell.
Dr. Allen Speaks to Teams At Lane Athletic Banquet
At a dinner banquet last night, given for the athletic teams of Lansing, Kansas, Dr. F. C. Allen was the principal speaker. Doctor Allen has been making many such speeches over the state of Kansas. The subject of "Phog's" talk was "Thou Shalt Not."
In explaining his choice of title, Doctor Allen said, "The rules of athletics are rules of inhibition."

Baseball's Famous Name Kept Alive By A. L. Dean
New York, April 24—(UP)—Ol' Diz has lost his swift one and Paul warms the bench, but the name of Dean rings 'round the baseball world today.
It's Alfred Lovill Dean of the Philadelphia Athletics they're shouting about now, the first baseman who became a left-handed pitcher and has set the world champion New York Yankees on their ears twice in this infant baseball season. He did it yesterday with a slick four-hit game that sent the once despised Athletics ahead of the proud Yank- $ ^ { \textcircled{8} }$
tees in the American League standings.
Gives Yanks 10 Hits In Two Games
He was given the assassins in the Yankees' murderer's row a total of 10 stingy hits in two games. On opening day he beat the great Charlie Ruffing, 2 to 1, in 10 innings and drove in the winning run himself with a fly to deep left. Yesterday he got a hit while he was holding the Yankees to four measly blows, giving them no runs in nine innings and shoving them into second division.
That should be enough to satisfy any youngster four years off the Duke University campus, but the situation is even sweeter for Dean. Because when he decided to quit college and make baseball his career, he applied for a job with the Yankees. Nobody on the club could see any merit in the youngster, so Dean went on down the railroad track and picked up a job with the Athletics. Connie Mack was hiring 'em fast and often back in 1936 and wasn't too particular about their ability.
Played First Base In 1936
From 1936 through 1939 Dean did
The kid has a good fast ball and a baffling slow curve that murdered a Yankee lineup loaded these days with left handed hitters. The mighty Charlie Keller almost broke his back yesterday swinging at and missing one of Dean's crawling curves.
nothing to indicate that the Yankees didn't have flawless judgment when they turned him down. Mack played him at first base in 111 games in 1936 and Dean hit .287 and fielded none too brilliantly. Next year the Athletics decided he wouldn't do as a first baseman and began to experiment with him as a pitcher. He got into two games as a pitcher in 1937 and in only six games the next year. Last year he worked in 54 games as a pitcher, winning five and losing eight for an indifferent earned run average of 5.23. He also was used occasionally as a pinch hitter, but if he hadn't begun to bloom this season as a hurler baseball wouldn't have held much future for him.
Intramural tournaments sponsored by the Memorial Union student activities committee, got under way this week with one round of the co-ed cue tournament played off, and several rounds in the table tennis tournament completed.
Six women are still in the cue contest. They are Betty Jones, c'43, Jane Knudson, fa'41, Harriet Goodwin, c'40, Ann Murray, fa'42, Ann Robbins, c'42, Nellie Hopkins, c'43
In the women's table tennis bracket, nine women have advanced to the next round. Those who are still in the tournament are Ellen Irwin, c'41, Mary Jane McCoy, c'40, Alta Bingham, ed'42, Eddie Parks, c'40, Doris Johnson, c'42, Marjorie Hetzel, c'41, Virginia McMaster, b'41, Jane Irwin, c'40, Shirley Irwin, fa'sp.
Kansas had 3 deaths at railroad crossings during the month of March. When crossing railroads remember that they have both right and might.
The men's division matches are not being played as well. Only one man, Raymond Davidson, b'40, has reached the fourth round, while Morris Keyser, c'42, has played off two rounds.
All first round results are due at the hostess desk tonight. Second round results are due Thursday, and third round on Saturday. The Kansas room will be open Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and all day Saturday in order that the matches may be completed.

Sports Parade
By Henry McLemore
In one breath the big fellow tells you how, on the night of May 28, he is going to back Tony Galento into a corner and give him the full treatment.
New York, April 24—(UP)Max Baer is a mixture of sweetness and fight.
"I'll hit that loud-mouth everywhere and with everything. He'll get elbows, knees, thumbs, laces and heads. That's what he hands out, so I'll give it to him in a double dose. I was a butcher boy once, and I'll become a butcher boy again."
Then, almost as quickly as he had flown into a rage—a rage that swelled the veins in his neck and bundled his fists into knots—Baer quieted down, and in an almost confidential whisper, told me why he was fighting again.
"I ain't fightin' for myself any more," he said. "I got enough to take care of myself. I want to make a little extra for some others. Lissen, lemme tell you when I decided to take this fight with Galento."
The swagger was all gone from Max as he told me about a little old woman in her sixties—his Aunt Olive from Omaha. A few months ago, at his home, in Livermore, Calif., he came in to find her there. She had come from Omaha to see his baby.
“Get a load of this.” Max said. “She had sat up all night on a coach train to save pullman fare, and had packed her own box lunch to save going into the diner. She had done all this to come out and see us and the baby. I took her purse out of her hands, and what do you think she had? Just enough
to get her back to Omaha, that is,
if she sat up all night again and
packed her own lunch."
No Longer the Braggart Baer
Maxie didn't look like the Maxie most people know as he told me this story. He didn't sound like the braggart Baer of the sports pages, either. He looked me in the eye, and groped for words, and for once I had the feeling that he wasn't trying to sell me a bill of goods.
"I told my aunt right then that she was going home first class, and live first class from now on," he said. "And so are a lot of the others who mean something to me and have been kind to me. Hell—it's a lot easier to take a punch on the jaw when you're 31 than it is to sit up all night in a day coach when you're 65."
To the eye and to the touch, Max is still a tremendous physical specimen. There isn't one ounce of fat on him right now. Moreover, he has a genuine hatred for Galento. He feels that the Jersey buffoon, through actions which cannot be described in print, has violated even boxing's curb-level code of ethics.

Why not more appropriations for conservation? Our 132 million American citizens realize no tangible value from the billions of dollars plunged into armaments and defense programs. Although such expenditures may be necessary, still by permitting the washing away, blowing off, and killing off of the topsoil the nation is fighting itself. Soil debility removes stiffening lime from the national backbone, lowers the heat of the national bloodstream and leads to a devitalized society.
The drive for money from students will be to furnish only two dormitories, not three as this page misinformed readers yesterday. The Battenfeld home will be furnished by its benefactors. But that makes it the more simple; just two dorms to furnish with good beds for good boys.
With the approach of spring the question of land again arises. In dry areas threats of dust storms appear; and in more humid areas the problems of flood control and levees appear. But aside from the restless activity of nature, the people themselves have hurt the land by their inaction.
Soil misuse makes people poor. For soil displacement is followed by human displacement. Look at Western Kansas. Down our rivers each year flows quantities of minerals and vital food elements, the price of erosion. The eroded earth is in some part destroyed; that richness is inevitably lost.
War!-Againct Erosion
★ ★ ★
If our vital resources are to be saved, conservation must be implemented by additional federal and state legislation, by more adequate appropriations. Even more essential is the interest of the people, for the efforts of a few interested government officials will not suffice.

YOU SAID IT
Support From The Illiterate
Editor. Dailv Kansan:
I have never read Milton's "Paradise Lost." I was therefore unable to appreciate fully your analogy in the editorial entitled "Whoa, Girls." The last paragraph, however, made the point sufficiently clear.
The recent Mortar Board election apparently was based more on petty dislikes than on honest consideration of achievements. Even if much of the highly-earned were not honored, you and Milton were indeed kind to Corbin hall.
Corbin can't be criticized for "running over" the women students in a W.S.G.A. election. They seemingly have enough votes to win. And with a majority of the votes, they have the right to elect their candidates.
But carrying over the hatred built up in elections to the process of choosing women for Mortar Board cannot be approved or condoned on the basis of democratic election principles.
Mortar Board, with the purpose of giving recognition to women of leadership and achievement, is worthy of unqualified student respect. Mortar Board, with the purpose of giving voice to cheap political jealousy and contemptible feminine animosity, is despicable.
HARRY HILL.

He Didn't Know
Editor. Dailv Kansan:
The editorial stand of the Kansas in yesterday's edition regarding election of new members to Mortar Board deserves the unqualified commendation of every reasonable student. At last we find that that sacred organization is not the virtuous group which we would be led to believe.
From time to time epithets have been hurled at Sachem, senior men's honorary organization, but this year's selection seems to represent the upper strata of
student leaders and scholars. At the very minimum members were not selected there on the basis of any political election as they were in Mortar Board, where one consideration in selection of new members rested on support in the recent W.S.G.A. election.
The skeletons are beginning to rattle in the Mortor Board closets and the students are now aware of that fact. Isn't it time for some housecleaning in the mighty of mighties?

For Better Varsities
A crying need for popular varsities at popular prices has been evident on this campus for a long time without anyone doing more than cry about it. Brewster Powers and his M.S.C. social committee brought up a bill to abolish the varsity dance manager position Monday night. Such a step may be one of the possibilities of solving the problem.
Prices for varsities have been too high. The reason men students give for staying away in droves attest to that fact. In the fall, when the demand for entertainment is high and the student purses are bulging, seventy-five cents admission price is justifiable. But—in the spring, when the newness has worn off and the summer wages are a thing of the past, that price keeps the Union ballroom looking like the Memorial stadium during a football "classic."
Lowering prices under the present system of a salaried dance manager is impossible. Naturally, the dance manager wants to make money. In the fall he rakes in the sheaves and in the spring he cuts down on the number of varsities, hoping that the losses on the ones he does have won't hurt his bonus at the end of the year. The dance manager, of course, is not interested in cutting prices and trying to break even or take losses just to give students a dance they can afford. Economic individuals aren't like that.
Powers' bill proposes that a committee of M.S.C. and W.S. G.A. members and the president of the Student Union Activities board do the work now done by the dance manager. The committee will be able to save the salary of approximately $200; it can afford to cut prices as the school year wears on and the demand for dances at a high price declines. The councils, if necessary, will be able to assume at the end of the year any loss brought about in the attempt to give students dances at more popular prices. The members of the committee can pool their ideas to make the varsities more than an endless three hours of monotonous dancing without variety.
This committee can do still more. As a bi-partisan group it can look into this business of a near-monopoly on dance booking on the campus. The monopoly is fine for the booker, but dancers suffer from a lack of competition which prevents the bands from showing their best. It's too easy for a dance manager to come under the influence of a fast talking, persuasive booker who wants his bands booked to the exclusion of all others. In short, this dance bill can make for a more democratic dance administration.
Just two things can go awry with this scheme. First, a multi-numbered committee may have difficulty in getting together on the big bands that have proved popular for the class parties. In booking the big bands it is necessary to work fast. Second, there is a slight and remote possibility the trouble of dance passes might creep back into the picture. But with councils pledged to efficient student government, any difficulties such as these are sure to be ironed out.
ROCK CHALK TALK

By Benny Lemons
"I want to be a campus beauty queen," my roommate said the other morning, throwing me out of bed.
Now my roommate's name is not Flossie or Blondie, but George, and, as the name implies, he would not make an appropriate beauty queen.
So, I was surprised when my roommate threw me out of bed—not at his throwing me out of bed but at his remark. He seemed hurt, and I decided right there that I must do something. So I reached up on the bed and brought my pillow down on the floor with me. After all, I have a right to be comfortable.
So, I said to George: "George, (we all call him George) why do you want to be a campus beauty queen?"
Well, George was almost in tears when he answered, and I was touched. Me, old hard-bitten Cap'n Flagg, getting sentimental. But for a reason. Here is The Story of George.
It seems that George has an inferiority complex. He has a hard time approaching girls on the campus and only recently has he nerved up enough to ask for dates. And, just as he was beginning to enjoy them, this beauty queen thing came into his life.
"It's too much." blubbered George, brushing his teeth. "How can pore little me go around those girls any more, what with all of them becoming campus queens."

There were also some good things about last night's show, Warren Littlejohn's dancing, Patty Wadley's almost-Bonnie singing, Virginia Apple's dancing, despite no solo part. Those are the things we remember without a look at the program again. The nice things.
General concensus: Donna Hughes is the only saving grace in the first part. The second part could be much improved. "It's a Dull World" borders on a direct steal from "It's a Blue World." "That Guy Named Si" should get someplace, with Wadley singing it.
Lots of us think that rehearsals should have started a couple of weeks earlier. They might have if the freeze hadn't been applied for money where money wasn't. And without justification.
Say those who followed rehearsals, "It's a miracle. You should have watched it two days ago."
We refrain from comment on the well-advised skit aimed at this paper. We'd like to know who was the technical adviser.

George was calm. "The hell there aren't," he said quietly, throwing a straight-edge at me.
George. "There aren't so many beauty queens."
Ambiily seizing George by the scruff of the neck, I pinned him to the floor while he recited more of his troubles.
"I didn't mind so much." George cried, "when they picked a Homecoming Queen. And picking those queens to go with movie stars wasn't too bad. And then the Cinderella Girl. It hurt when they started honoring the Kansas Relays but I decided I could bear it. But when—"
Here George broke openly into tears and I left him there alone with a chicken dinner.
While walking to see the authorities I began to see his point. There were the Drake Relays, and they would have to have a queen. And the Hobnail Hop and the Jayhawker magazine. Even Fred Littoo picked one. It was getting so George couldn't go near the girls because he felt so inferior around all the royalty. There weren't any more ordinary girls left. Yes, I decided, I would have to make George a queen.

Like Kansas Weather--show's outstanding song. Bud Balzer wrote the music and Jimmy Hammers dug up the words. The piece is Hit Parade calibre. So is "My Heart and I Have You", as handled by the Chi Omega trio (Virginia Ford, Olivia Cole, and Wilma Miner) and Chestine Wilson. O. D. Butcher is also in the sketch.
Warren Littlejohn does some fine hoofing in his specialty. The lose jointed Negro got three encores before the audience settled down.
Billie Jean Jarboe's tap routine is one of the revue's bright spots. The little lady hops up and down her steps with all the finesse of a professional. Even if she couldn't dance a note, she would still be a hit with audiences. She "sells" her act with a bright personality.
Pattye Jayne Wadley's "That Guy Named Si" comes close to stealing the show. Ross Robertson and Don Clinger, the Modern Choir's accompanist, wrote the piece and Pattye Jayne puts it across with nothing left out.
Other worthwhile things in the revue are: (1) the sketch "It's a Dull World" (2) Jane Schlagel's vocalizing on Bud Peterson's "Sings Softly in My Heart a Melody" and (3) Ross Robertson's haircut.
In spite of all of this, the show is dull in spots. Why? Go see it tonight and try to figure it our yourself. With all its faults, the show is worth the admission price.
Rolla Nuckels is the director and dance creator; Bud Balzer and Jimmy Hammers, Art Wolf, Ruth Wolf, Bud Peterson, Ross Robertson, and Don Clienger wrote the music; Balzer, Peterson, and Bill Engle did the arrangements; Janet Bolton did the ballet sequences; Ross Robertson is the vocal director; Jean Robertson handled the finances; Harry Hill has charge of the publicity; Nancy Kerber and Betsy Dodge are responsible for the costumes; Larry David is the stage manager and Joe Kennedy, Bill Harmes, Don Merriwether and Jim Hartzel make up his crew.

Mr. Werner said that one of the factors conditioning the consideration of the appropriation was that the Student Activity Ticket Reserve Fund is to benefit the majority of the students in some recreational activity. This qualification limits considerably the avenues into which the fund may be directed. With regard to the appropriation for the Speakers Bureau, Werner said that this activity is already benefitting from the fund, and is not suffering from a deficit, so it is not eligible.
The money in the Reserve fund is obtained by taking 15 cents from the total each student pays for his activity book.

"The Magnificat", choral work of John Sebastian Bach, will be the feature of the Gala Concert, presented Mondav night, in Hoch auditorium by the School of Fine Arts. Sung by the Westminster A Cappella Choir of 70 voices, the work will be part of the program given to open Music Festival Week.
The A Cappella Choir will sing "Now Shall the Grace", an unaccompanied chorus for 8 different parts by two choruses, as the second part of the program. This number has been used this season by the Westminster A Cappella Choir on its concert programs.
Opening the evening's performance will be the University orchestra under the direction of Karl Kuersteiner playing the lively "Brandenburger Concerto." Solo parts will be carried by Prof. Waldemar Geltch, violin; Eugene Crabb, fa'41, trumpet; Martha Briggs, fa'41, flute; and Robert Forman, oboe.
Music Week Opens Monday In Auditorium
The performance of "The Magnificat" will take 40 minutes. The work is composed of five choruses, in five part writing, with the solos being done by Marie Wilkins, first soprano; Meribah Moore, assistant professor of voice, second soprano; Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice, tenor; and Rudolph Voth, bass. A duet for alto and tenor and a special chorus for three part women's voices is also part of the work. Accompanying the chorus will be a picked orchestra of 35 members.

Nazis, Allies Battle
By Joe Alex Morris German and Allied expeditionary forces struggled for advantage today on two important fronts dominating central Norway.
In the Trondheim sector, which is the first big Nazi-occupied port to be attacked by the British, fighting continued north of the city in the Steinkjer sector. German bombardment and infantry attack drove the Allied troops from Steinkjer yesterday but today British sources said a severe battle was in progress in the vicinity of the village of Meiri, where the British and Norwegians dug in six miles to the north.
In the Dombas-Lillehammer sector, dominating the vital communications lines of central Norway, both sides were still fighting for position preliminary to what was believed likely to be the biggest battle of the Scandinavian campaign. But Nazi motorized forces were reported to have slashed their way northward to Roeros.
British bombing raids on German bases in Norway, Denmark and Germany were denounced by the Nazi high command as attacks on towns which are of no military importance. That was interpreted by authoritative Nazi sources as "perhaps a final warning" of impending Nazi air fleet retaliation.
Many military experts in Stockholm and London believed that the success or failure of the Allied expeditionary forces in opposing the northward thrusts of the Nazis through the central sector might decide the outcome of the battle for Norway.

Army Officials Inspect R.O.T.C.
The climax to a winter's drilling practice came yesterday when the University R. O. T. C. units staged a dress parade and inspection reviewed by federal inspecting officers here for the occasion.
The official rating will not be known for some time, but statements of the inspecting officers would indicate that the units will be classed as excellent.
Although the lack of inside drilling space during bad weather has been a decided handicap, the execution of the drills on the field were considered very good by the instructors in the department of military science. Only four outside drills have been possible since Dec. 11.
The review was followed by a parade and inspection. Trooping the line of inspection along with Col. Raymond W. Briggs, administrative inspector, was Dean Paul B. Lawson, acting representative of the Chancellor, Dean F. T. Stockton, Dean F. J. Moreau, and Col. K. F. Baldwin. The public seemed to show a greater interest in the parade and inspection than usual. Both the east and the north roads bordering the drill field were lined with the automobiles of spectators.
The instructors of the department commented most favorably on the spirit shown by the cadet officers and privates, and also upon the cooperation of the University band.
The last proficiency examination in English composition for this year will be held at 8:30 Saturday morning. May 4, J. B. Virtue, chairman announced this morning.
Last Proficiency Exam To Be May 4
Only juniors and seniors in the College will be allowed to register for the examination. Registrations will take place in the College office April 29, 30, and May 1.

Engleman Wins;
Faculty Beats
Junior Team
Business took a back seat to fun and hilarity yesterday as the School of Business took the day off to celebrate its sixteenth birthday. It was Business School Day for students, faculty, and alumni, who indulged in guest lecturing, an election, a baseball game, and finally a banquet last night to observe the occasion.
Howard Engleman, b'41, in much the same manner in which he scored the winning basket against Southern California, salvaged the presidency of the School of Business election with a "basket"—two points—in the last few minutes of voting. Engleman's margin was 135 to 133 over Lee Huddleston, b'41, marking the second straight year the Commerce party has triumphed over the Coalition forces.
In a race, which because of the narrow victory margins, paralleled the M.S.C. election, Ray Buzzell,

Luhnow Praises K.U. Graduates
Members of the School of Business heard a bit of sound philosophy and advice, had a few hundred laughs, and relaxed to some outstanding musical interpretations last night at the annual Business School Day banquet in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Hal W. Luhnow, of the Wm. Voelker Furniture company, of Kansas City, Mo., guest speaker at the banquet, told the dining audience of 200 students, faculty and alumni that the world needs a businessman who possesses two attributes: "training in the knowledge of getting ability to give it" to the community, and "mastery of self," which Luhnow termed, "mental discipline." Luhnow, a civic leader in Kansas City, cited the success of the Wm. Voelker company as an example of the success of this principle and stated that no alumnus of the University's business school who has worked for that company has ever had to leave because he lacked these qualities.
The banquet, which began at 6 o'clock, was marked by the humorous remarks of W. W. Davis, chairman of the department of history, whose defense of the present economic status of the South rocked the assemblage with laughter. "If you would go where the frontier is freshly broken and opportunity

Velma Wilson, c40, past president of W.S.G.A., was elected Regional Representative of the Central section of the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students at the Regional convention in Iowa City yesterday.
Wilson Gets Regional Post
Miss Wilson became the first person to hold the office after its creation by the revised Constitution of the Association. The office is held for two years and will entitle Miss Wilson to preside over the next Regional convention.
The Central section includes 60 colleges and universities from Kansas east to the Atlantic. Forty colleges were represented at the convention with 152 delegates. During the three-day convention, Lubbock, Texas, was selected for the National convention to be held next year.
O'Theene Huff, c'41, president of the W.S.G.A., also representing the University at the convention, nominated Miss Wilson for the office.
Pachacamacs Make NoMove On Election
P. S.G.L.'s Bill Farmer was still in possession of the M.S.C. president's chair today and indications were that nothing would happen to displace him.
Seth Gray, b'40, head of Pachacamac, said he had made no attempt yet to carry the controversy to any higher authority and was not sure he would take such action.
Farmer was accepted as the new president by the Council Monday night, despite efforts of Pachacamae to stall the approval of election results. Rising Sun spokesmen indicated at that time that they would carry the matter to "a higher authority," probably Chancellor Deane Malott.
Gray said today that if any further action were taken on the matter it would be placed in the hands of the Chancellor. The council's decision, however, still stands, Gray said.
Jay Janes Choose Sixty Candidates
Sixty candidates for membership in the Jay James, women's pep organization, were chosen after a tea in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building yesterday afternoon. Miss Maude Elliot, Jay Jane adviser, poured.
Of these candidates, twenty will be elected as pledges of the society at a closed tea next Tuesday afternoon. This unusually large number will mean that 50 per cent of the membership for next year will be pledges.
New Dorm Plans Include Sun Decks

Look through the camera's eye at what they're wearing in the warm places of the country these days if you'd like to be prepared for summer at home.

Particularly when playtime is curtailed by wasting so much time working to get it must every woman know what few things among all the possibilities will give her the highest score on the dividend classification of'
Plan to wear a gold ankle bracelet on your slim brown leg this summer. It's a bit of beach jewelry being seen in smart places and sparkles modestly in the bright sunshine when women walk barefoot (which they do often by the way) or when they go shod but stockingless in the many kinds of canvas wedge soled shoes. The dressy type of slack suits in the pojama one piece style or the three piece longer coat range are accompanied frequently with gold braclets of important looking tailored design.
Put a ribbon in your hair on your vacation and spend the tiresome time between now and then planning and trying which hair arrangement is most becoming to you. If your locks are fairly long try lifting them up in front of the ears and letting them loop forward in a soft pompadour effect and tie a two inch taffeta or grosgrain ribbon bow smack on top of your head. Should you, however, be confronted with a short lock at the top of your head difficult to keep curled neatly on ship or shore, comb it back and tie it with an important looking bow which may measure an inch or more in width.
Scarfs will be conspicuous this summer for their absence. Noticeably missing will be the simple peasant one tied under the chin.

b'41, a Coalition candidate, was elected vice-president by one vote over Wayne Whelan, b'41, of the Commerce party. Mary McLeod, b'41, won over Dotty Wise, b'41, in the race for secretary, which traditionally goes to a woman candidate, and Junior Collins, b'41, beat Sydney Sklar, b'41, for treasurer, to give the Commerce party three of the four top offices.
In the afternoon it was "all faculty," as the baseball team, sparked by the great pitching of "Fireball" John Hocevar, beat the Juniors, 1 to 0, for the second time in 15 years of the playing of the faculty juniors ball game. Not only did the faculty win, but allowed the juniors not a single hit, and only one man got on base—proving that age has nothing with athletic prowess—not for the first 40-or-so years, anyway. The Juniors, however, were not humiliated, even though beaten, for they allowed the faculty only four hits.

Kansas Splits With Wichita
Kansas Diamond Team Is Ready For Iowa State
Spectators at Friday's and Saturday's baseball games with Iowa State may have to resort to score cards to identify men stationed at the various positions in the Kansas outfield and infield, if the starting lineup announced this morning by Coach Mike Getto is any criterion.
Two major changes and several minor ones are listed in the batting order which will attempt to quiet the Cyclones, and send them back to Ames with a double defeat, marring their present spotless conference record.
Burge to Start
Instead of starting Knute Kresie in the first game of the series, Coach Getto has given the nod to John Burge. Kresie, who can hit and field as well as pitch, will be placed at third base and Miller Cameron will be moved over to shortstop. Henry Horak has won the right field position and will be chosing flies when he isn't throwing curves. Dean Martin has been pushing Larry Hensley in the race for the center field berth and may be given preference in Friday's lineup.
lineup.
The rest of the team will be the same as the one which has represented Kansas so far this season. Charles Kraemer will play second base, Jack Sands will be on first, Monte Merkel will be behind the plate, and Eldreth Cadwalader will be in left field.
Pitch Kresie Saturday
Present plans call for Kresie to pitch Saturday's game with "Red" Dugan as the second line of defense. Such a move would again leave third base vacant, and Getto may give Dorus Munsinger a chance to display his wares at this position.
Ray Napier, who was the Jayhawks regular shortstop until an injury prevented him from playing against Missouri, is slowly rounding into shape but will not be ready for action for several days yet. However, Bob Hunt, Napier's stand-in against the Tigers, is ready, willing, and able to perform a similar duty should the unexpected happen to Cameroon this weekend.
See Moving Pictures
The Kansas practice session yesterday afternoon was diversified. First, the Jayhawks went through a long workout in the batting cage. Then, they adjourned to the locker room for the movies on big league baseball produced by the National and American leagues, and shown by the University extension division. Returning to the diamond, the infielders and outfielders polished their defensive maneuvers until almost dusk.
The current production, known to some as "Swing in a Sling," has something no other play in Fraser has ever had according to those who should know. A feminine stage hand.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Jayhawkers Lose Golf; But Are Tennis Victors
The University of Wichita golfers handed the Jayhawker linkmen their first defeat of the season, 12 to 6, yesterday, but the tennis team, after several previous losses, came through with a 5 to 1 win over the Shocker netmen.
Dean Ritchie turned in his lowest match score of the season, when he shot the 18-hole Lawrence Country Club course in a one below par 71, for medalist honors. Bob LaGree, playing his first match with Coach Shannon's men, came through with an 81 for second honors, but lost the match to Hesse, Wichita's number four man, who shot a 76 to pace the Shocker team.
Rod Wakeland, who led the Jayhawkers in their win over Kansas City University, and shot a 78 in the linkmen's victory over Nebraska in their first Big $ ^{\textcircled{8}}$
Six meet, was definitely off form, in turning in an 83 and losing his match to Dushane. Bill McElheny shot an 85.
Netmen Hit Stride
After losing to Kansas City University by a narrow margin in their first meet, and to a strong Nebraska team, "Dutch" Uhrlaura's netmen hit their stride in a 5 to 1 victory over the Wichita netmen. Howard Engleman, Kermit Frankes, and Conrad Voelker, won their singles matches in straight sets. Charles Snyder won his first set 6-1, but Voth, Wichita number-three man, won the next two games and the match. Both the K. U. doubles combinations won their matches.
On Saturday, April 27, University of Missouri golf and tennis teams come to Lawrence for matches with the Jayhawk net and linkmen. In a Big Six dual meet held recently, Oklahoma defeated the Tiger golfers 19 to 2. This will be the second Big Six meet for the Kansas teams.
The summaries:
Golf twosomes—Ritchie, K.U., (71), defeated Turner, Wichita, (77), 3-0; Dushane, Wichita, (80), defeated Wakeland, K.U., (83), 3-0; Kirkpatrick, Wichita, (81), defeated McEllenny, K.U., (85), 3-0; Hesse,

Wrong again, when I picked the Kansas golfers to triumph over the Wichita linkmen yesterday. But to my surprise, the Shockers came through to beat the Jayhawkers, 12 to 6. One consolation is that the K.U. tennis whipped the visitors, 5 to 1.
NOTICES from Drake tell us that the University of Texas squad, that was working out here for a few days, was the first visiting team to arrive for the Thirty-fifth Annual Drake Relays to be held Friday and Saturday. These games are one of the biggest and best Relays in the United States. . . There will be three Kansas Relays champions in the meet.
CORRECTION: How was I to know? William Harridge didn't tell me that Joe Kuhel, former K.C. Blues first baseman, is now playing with the Chicago White Sox and has been for a year. . Oh well, he is still leading the American League home run hitters.

Heavy firing in the major leagues begins today with two of the top teams in the American leagues, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, starting a series at Boston. . Strangely enough, the top farm teams of these two clubs, Kansas City's little Yankees, and Louisville's little Red Sox, also begin a series today. . Kansas City won the Little World Series in 1938 and Louisville turned the same trick last year.
Coach Ward Haylett, Kansas State,
will take his Wildcats to the Sixteenth Annual Colorado Relays this Saturday, instead of going to the Drake games. News come that Elmer Hackney is suffering from an injured knee, that makes him foul all the time, therefore he can't throw as far as usual. . . Too bad a little fellow like Hackney must always be hampered by a wrist or knee injury.
MOURNINGS FOR Joe Jacobs, also known to sports followers, as "Yussel and Mussel", will be in order for the sports world for the next few days, because the prize-fighting promoter and manager of Max Schmeling and Tony Galento, died last night from a heart attack. . . Joe would have been only 44 years old May 7. Some of the big-shots back east got tired of Joe's monopoly on the Madison Square Garden fights but they couldn't do much about it. . . Wonder who will take the throne now?

10 Men Leave For Annual Drake Relays
Dress rehearsal for the Drake relays was held yesterday afternoon in Memorial stadium by track coach Bill Hargiss' fleet-footed runners. In preparation for the trip to Des Moines, the Kansas tutor instructed his men to "go easy" for this last day of training.
A clear sky, supplemented by a warm sun, pepped up the athletes, making it difficult for them to rebrain from over-exertion. Often, a day or two before a meet, injuries are suffered when men attempt to whip into condition quickly. Not so with our Kansans.
The relay teams worked on baton passing for about thirty minutes, and a litlite running, pole vaulting.
and broadjumping was practiced. However, on the whole, the squad followed instructions and "took it easy."
Turner Practicing
Down on the home front, a veteran football player in the person of Jack Turner, came out of the training quarters with a javelin in his hand and a look in his eye. Whether Turner had ever thrown a javelin before was not learned, but it didn't look like it. He stepped to the line after a few practice throws and made a hurl of 150 feet. Hargiss was quick to pick up Turner.
Ten men left Memorial stadium at 1:15 this afternoon in two cars, all but one of which will run in relay events at Drake. Glenn Foy is the exception. He will compete in the 120-yard high hurdles.
Much to the disappointment of Coach Hargiss and three field event men, it was not possible to take along Bill Bevan and Jack O'Hara, pole vaulters, and J. R. Jones. bread-jumper.
We saw a man digging dandelions yesterday and carefully pouring oil on the spot where each flower had grown. Seems kind of silly. They grow fast enough without lubrication.
Young Demos Name Delegates
Delegates to the College Democratic meeting to be held in Topeka April 27-28, were elected Tuesday at the Young Democrats meeting held in the Men's Lounge of the Memorial Union building. Applications for state membership cards were filled out and plans for a dance were discussed.

Conning the books hasn't been Buchanan's only activity. He is chief justice of the student supreme court which, outside of holding one of its own justices in contempt, has been the most effective in the court's history. Buchanan is proud of his fellowship; the School of Law is proud of Buchanan; the University is proud of them both.
Your more sophisticated persons would frown upon anything that smacked of praise for the local boy who made good, but if the surrounding press can prattle about beauty queens ready to take a one or a two way trip-as the case may be-to Hollywood, then the University has a right to brag about Eugene Buchanan's $1,500 fellowship for graduate work in law at Columbia University.
Lawyers, freshly graduated from school, don't win these fellowships every year. Two years ago a Chicago University graduate won one, but usually they go to lawyers with several years of experience.

With European nations staying awake nights to keep Hitler and his buddies from playing on their cellar doors, with the United States wondering what to do with its gold, its Joads, and its Father Coughlin, it is little wonder that some of the nation's most intelligent thinkers have joined the mass of misinformed pessimists who pronounce an impending doom for our civilization. Such an attitude is arrived at through hysteria and not research.
Hysteria advances a group of supposed civilization pusher-overers which never could destroy the advancement of ages. Cynicism points out issues which have risen time after time in the past. The loosening of conventions or of conventional moralities happened to an even greater degree 20 years ago than today. Taxation was more crushing for the middle and lower classes during the Renaissance, a period of civilization advancement, than it is now. Lack of great men has always troubled the world as it troubles it now. One can hardly say that the power of Napoleon was relatively greater than the Paper-hanger, or that Galileo was a more influential scientist than Einstein.
Not such points, but science and machinery spike the groundwork of our civilization. And that groundwork, far from shrinking in its influence, is steadily extending into agriculture and handicrafts. Science is not a class possession. It is owned to a greater or lesser extent by all social strata the world over.
These advancements can't be blown up by war bombs. Machine civilization can't commit suicide. Its science, machinery, literature, art, and music are known by every man, woman
In literature, art, and music, as well as science, the world today is marking up scores. Considered in relation to their environment, the best of modern writers stand equally high with the best of the Middle Ages and antiquity. The works of a Bohr or a Millikan do not necessarily fade in the presence of Milton's or Virgil's. New artists and musicians advance in a way appropriate to speed, mechanics, motion, railway stations, factories, office buildings, and public institutions.
and child. The progress cannot be annihilated by war so long as one corner of the globe remains safe for those interested in progress rather than destruction. The sum total of progress may remain static during disturbances, but the nucleus will always remain, ready to increase with the slightest encouragement.

The annual struggle is on to see which has the fewer cooperating Seniors . . . the free physical exams at the hospital or the pages of the Jayhawker which feature the graduating class. Both being neglected by the procrastinating class of '40. (me too).
Mme. Perkins came to Kansas and wore the most becoming hat of her administration. . . . It was a miner's "hard hat" which she wore while inspecting a mine at Baxter Springs.
The threatening to "blow the lid off the Big Ten," the University of Chicago fought and won its right to remain in the glamoren. Despite its unfortunate 1940 football team, the University of Chicago still has the edge on total number of football trophies won in Big Ten competition.
The public who read and enjoyed Vincent Sheean's "Personal History" awaits the result of Hollywood's transformation factory. The picture will be called "Foreign Correspondent." Besides the handsome members of the cast there will also appear Robert Benchley, who makes movie shorts which audiences would rather see next to Mickie Mouse. Benchley's first and best short was "Down the Alimentary Canal with Gun and Camera."
With the Hill bristling with straw hats, canes, pins, and assorted insignia and varying degrees of intergroup snobbery, the classless state of America (as revealed in the census) seems segregated to the great adult world which bristles with lodge buttons, fezzes, and assorted insignia.

The Man in the Slot
NINEETEEN MINUTES before a big city newspaper's first edition goes to press. Page by page, a story starts coming across the city editor's desk.
The city editor reaches for his phone, calls the make-up editor in the composing room. "How we doing?" he asks. "This City Hall story looks pretty hot."
"We're going to be tight. Keep it down," warns the make-up editor. "We can't squeeze the Washington story another inch."
"Okay," responds the city editor. He looks at the penciled layout for Page One, scribbles some figures in the upper corner of the sheet of copy, and with an expert twist sends it sailing onto the big horseshoe desk next to his own.
"We're tight, Mac," he calls to the man in the slot. "Cut it a third."
▶ Seventeen minutes now to the deadline . . . only ten for cutting, editing, headline-writing. For those vital ten minutes, the responsibility rests on the shoulders of the man in the slot . . . newspaper parlance for the head of the copy desk.
A dozen considerations flush their chain lightning patterns across the slot man's mind. Tyler's story ... Tyler the brilliant and touchy. He got it out of that certain municipal department which is giving off a faintly gamy odor. The boss will want it in all editions. This isn't the big break though, just another build-up to it. Damn good story...real stuff in every paragraph. Hard to cut. Needs a headline with sock. Who's to handle it? Ward's fooling around with that zoo story...Won't do, his cuts make Tyler sore. Collihan's a better bet.
"Colihan," says the man in the slot. One of the furious pencil-wielders around the rim of the horse-shoe looks up. "Cut this a third and put a thirty-six head on it in time for the bulldog."
All this has used up fifteen seconds.
Colishan has nine and a half minutes to cut and edit and write a top headline and sub-headline. Every line of both headlines must count exactly so many characters and spaces, figuring i as a half and m and w one and a half characters.
Then the slot man will take just fifteen seconds more to review Colihan's work, change "banned" to "curbed," sniff the whole concoction for traces of libel, and shoot it to the news editor in the composing room.
It is a shorter story than Tyler's original, and a better one—keener of edge, swifter of impact, yet complete in every essential detail.
The slot is not a glamorous job. It hasn't been discovered by Shubert Alley or the fiction magazines. To the cub reporter, eager for by-lines and self-expression, the whole copy desk looks like a backwater. It takes maturity—grasp of the whole art of news presentation—to appreciate the little miracles that a good copy desk passes.
the rim are held in greater respect, perhaps, than in their own city rooms. For more than any other newspapermen in the business, TIME men write with the consciousness that they must cut, prune, hone, concentrate, and distil. The fight against the clock is not so desperate on a weekly, but the battle for each line of space is many times fiercer.
▶ Among the men who write and edit The Weekly
Newsmagazine, the man in the slot and the men on
And the raw material for
Journalism in the U. S. A. pours out millions of words each week; TIME's limit is some thirty thousand: And when every word must do the work of a dozen, it needs to be a better word, and more economically joined to its fellows. Nouns must paint landscapes, adjectives must do portraits, verbs must shoot straight.
Each story in TIME must be direct, keen, complete; each story must earn its place as an essential link in understanding the world's news of the week.
TIME has developed the art of news condensation, as practiced by the slot men and trim men of the dailies, to a new high. For every issue of TIME is "tight"-its limit that irreducible minimum of news every intelligent man and woman must know. Which is one reason why TIME has won the genuine devotion of 700,000 busy families—with their ranks growing deeper every week.
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.

Allies Battle German Drive In Norway
Stockholm, April 26—(UP) A battle to block the German drive northward up the Oesterdal valley was reported north of the town of Roeros today as Allied forces struck back at the Germans on three main Norwegian fronts.
Dispatches from the frontier to the newspaper Allehanda said that time fighting was in progress this morning north of Roeros, where a German motorized column arrived yesterday but was reported to be awaiting reinforcements before attempting to push on toward Stoeren and Trondheim.
The magnitude of the fighting in the Roeros sector was not definitely indicated, but the Allehanda dispatch said that there was lively artillery fire from both sides.
The Nazi advance up the Oerstedal valley was one of three main actions. A second Nazi column which had advanced from Lillehammer up the Gudbrandsdale valley to Ringebu was reported facing reinforced Allied troops in the Otta sector and additional Allied troops, including part of the French foreign legion, was said to be moving from Namos southward on the Germans entrenched at Kninkjer, in the Trondheim zone. Arrival of anti-aircraft guns and British fighting planes was reported to have helped offset the German air advantage.
The Allehanda published a dispatch from northern Norwegian headquarters which said that German attacks in the Steinkjer sector, where the Nazis hold the village, had been repulsed "with heavy losses" in the last two days.
The battle is still in progress, the dispatch said, with the British holding out at the town of Maare, south of Steinkjer, while Allied Reinforcements move from Namss against the German lines north of Steinkjer.
Cooler temperatures and a cloudy sky are forecast for this evening. For Saturday, partly cloudy and warmer.
Fewer Students Flunk
Fewer students were down in their grades at midsemester than in the previous term, it was announced today.
There was a noticeable decrease in the number of students failing in over 40 per cent of their work in the College this semester," J. H. Nelson, associate dean of the College, said today. "This change seems to us highly encouraging," he added, "We explain the decrease largely on the grounds of a stricter reinstament policy being followed by the reinstament committee this year. We admitted fewer failing students in February, and many of those who were not admitted would probably have failed again and increased the number of scholastically deficient," Dean Nelson said.
Retreat Tomorrow For Y Cabinets
Members of the new cabinets of the Y.M.C.A. and the W.Y.C.A. will go to a private cabin south of Lawrence tomorrow morning for a training retreat preparatory to the installation service Sunday.
The cabinets will be divided into groups to evaluate the work done by the Y's during the past year and to decide whether that work should be continued. These groups and their directors are as follows: reinterpretation of religion, Marjorie Cook, c'42, Lloyd Estes, c'42; social action, Margaret June Gray, c'41, George Kettner, c'42; freshman commission, Mary Ewers, c'42, Ernest Klema. c'41; personal relations, Shirley Jane Ruble, c'41, Al Decker, c'41.
Cabinet members will be accompanied by Miss Eda Paddock and John J. O. Moore, executive secretaries of the Y's.
Seniors who wish to have pictures in the Comencement issue of the Jayhawker Magazine must fill out information cards at the Jayhawker office and make appointments at Lawrence or Hixon's Studio before the end of next week.

There still was music, but not much comedy to be found in "Sing 'n Swing" today. At least, that is the viewpoint of W.S.G.A. officials who learned that their venture into the entertainment world would cost them at least $125 and possibly $150.

To back their musical comedy gamble, the W.S.G.A. coughed up approximately $500 and hoped that "Sing 'n Swing" would draw more than 1,400 paid onlookers. The production attracted less than 1,200, however, and the loss will run into three figures.
Things like this have happened to W.S.G.A. councils before, but never to this one and the women don't have a ready explanation for the

YES, IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Miss Lida Allene Brown, '38, has designed a sport costume which is being featured by Best and Co. of Fifth Ave. New York City. The costume consists of two pieces, a sport coat and culottes with zipper openings in the front and back. It is especially suited for both campus and sports wear in that with both zippers closed, it is suited for street wear; and with one or both zippers open, it offers freedom for such sports as golf and bicycling. The costume is featured in navy, light blue or yellow flannel.
Women Approve Spring Fashions In Preview
In a setting of spring flowers and music, with the largest style show audience in local history, the Independent Studert Association presented a preview of late spring styles in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building last night at 7 o'clock.
To the strains of "Night and Day" sung by June Hammett, fa'43, with Clyde Bysom's orchestra, the week started with a parade of pajamas and gowns. Applause went to a pink and white striped silk pajama outfit modeled by Evelyn Kamprath, c-42.
Saturday afternoon came almost too soon with a showing of slacks, cubolets, and shorts. The moss green slack suit with a hood modeled by Elizabeth Curry, c'42, was a favorite with women stylists.
With Sunday morning came church outfits with a black and white tiny check silk with red accessories by Virginia Rose, c'40, a white shark-skin coat over a navy sheer worn by Elizabeth Curry, c'42, and Vivian Clark, c'41, went to church in a powder blue silk dress. Slim waistlines with flared skirts still hold the stage in dresses.
Virginia Gsell, fa'43, sang "With the Wind and the Rain in Your Hair" as reversible raincoats were modeled. Outstanding was the reversible baby blue coat modeled by Ruth Wiedemann, b'41.
Red, white, and navy blue are the most popular colors for week day wear with the notable exception of the pink shantung with angora yoke binding modeled by Evelyn Kamprath, c'42.
With the "Starlit Hour" sung by Virginia Gsell, fa43, the cotton formales were modeled concluding a week at the University. The "Gone With the Wind" model worn by Virginia Rose, c40, drew sighs of envy from the assembled women.
The contest conducted by Swope Dress shop was a guessing game as to the prices of the Swope gowns modeled. The winner will be announced next week.
Ten students were initiated into Phi Sigma Alpha, honorary political science fraternity, and new officers were elected last night at the organization's annual banquet at Evans' Heart, Mac Wynne, c'41, announced today.

A miniature tornado wearing the uniform of the Iowa State baseball team was scheduled to descend up the varsity diamond at 3 o'clock this afternoon, but the Kansas Jayhawks hope to have it slowed down to a stiff breeze by nightfall, and plan on completing the process in the second game of the series tomorrow afternoon.
John Burge was Coach Mike Getto's starting choice for this afternoon's struggle, while Leon Wilson, ace of the Cyclone staff, was nominated by Coach "Can"
was nominated by Coach Cup Tim to do the pitching for the visitors.
Iowa In Last Night
The Iowa State squad arrived in Lawrence by train at 11:30 last night and will meet both Kansas State and Oklahoma before returning to Ames.
One name was erased from the Jayhawkers' hospital list before practice started yesterday, but another was added before the session ended. Ray Napier, injured short stop, reported to Mike Getto and proceeded to demonstrate he was in shape to play again, and so he was given a starting berth in today's game.
Dean Martin Injured
However, Dean Martin, Kansas outfielder, who had almost won the center field position from Larry Hensley, received a painful nose injury when he was hit by a thrown ball, as he tried to steal third base. An examination was to be made this morning to ascertain the extent of the injury. In the meantime Hensley goes back to center field.
A reinforcement for the pitching staff made its appearance last night when Marvin Vandaveer, who has been working out with the team since the conclusion of spring football practice, hurled several innings in a varsity-freshman game. Vandaveer is not yet in shape, but he gave indication that he may be able to help shoulder the pitching load in a few more days.
Knute Kresie will go after his second victory of the season in tomorrow's game. He will probably be opposed by Willard Mylenbusch, winner of two decisions so far this spring.
Showers Soak Drake Track For Thirty-first Relays
Des Moines, Iowa, April 26.—(UP) Rain soaked the track where today more than 3,000 athletes compete in the 31st annual Drake Relays and officials doubted that there would be many record breaking performances in the two-day meet.
The forecast was for cloudy weather with occasional showers today and for showers tomorrow. Track caretakers said that one day of sunshine would be necessary to put the field in condition as one of the fastest in the nation.
On the program were finals in seven events, among them the two mile run, the university distance and sprint medleys, the broad jump and discus throw. Preliminaries were scheduled in other events.
Rifle Club Elects; Awards Emblems
At a meeting held in Fowler shops yesterday, the Women's Rifle club elected the following officers: captain, Mary Colglazier, c'41; manager, Dorothy Durand, c'42; and historian, Dorothy Jo Smith, ed'42.
Awards were made to highest scorers, picked from the Rifle club. Freshmen making the ten highest scores were awarded pins. Upper-classmen making the team were awarded sweaters with rifle emblems on them.
On April 30, the Women's Rifle team will shoot a match with the Men's Rifle队. The loser of the match will give a picnic for the winner.
The scores:
Louise Bush, c'40 ... 98.25
Betty Adair, ph'40 ... 98.00
Helen Naramore, fa'40 ... 97.50

Edwards Brings Linkmen; Netmen Here for Meet
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
Just in case you want to see an exhibition of baseball that will probably be the farthest from a baseball game, go down to Holcom Grove in Lawrence this next Sunday afternoon. The "battle of the century" will be staged between the African Zulu's team of Detroit, Mich, and the Lawrence Semi-Pros.
The Zulu's are a group of Negroes from Detroit, and all are over 6 feet tall. They wear African grass skirts and some type of native shoe. No telling how much they know about baseball.
On a short trip to Topeka yesterday, I dropped out to visit Coach Fred Powers, Topeka high school track coach. Powers was busy using his team into shape for the annual Baker Rclays to be held in Baldwin Saturday. The Trojans are the defending champions, but so far this season, they have been unable to get under way. Forest Slaughter, big Negro sprint man, looks pretty good in the dashes, while Jack Serrett runs very smoothly in the quarter.
When the K.U. team left for Drake yesterday afternoon, only one man went along to participate in the individual events. That single contestant was Glenn Foy, who will complete against Fred Wolcott, Rice, in the 120-yard high hurdles. The other nine Kansas men will race in relays events only.
Did you happen to see the cartoon that Sord, NEA cartoonist drew of Wolcott for that syndicate? . . . It was a great play-up of the coming Drake Relays and he illustrated how Wolcott was one of the best hurdlers in years, but to top this off, Sord called him Joe Wolcott.
12 INNINGS . . . That is a long time to play baseball in any man's game. . . . But Kansas City and Louisville pitched it out for 12 innings yesterday before Kansas City could nose out the Colonels, 3 to 0.

Also last night was the deadline for Frankie Pytlak to sign with the Cleveland Indians, but he also failed to sign. . . He recently said that he didn't care whether he signed or not, but that he
Tigers Invade K.U. for Golf; Net Matches
Jayhawk golfers and netmen meet their second Big Six foe within a week, when the University of Missouri teams invade Lawrence tomorrow afternoon for a dual meet. In addition to the regular meet, matches, practice matches for other members of the golf and tennis souads have been scheduled.
The University golf and tennis teams reversed their usual run of luck against Wichita University, Wednesday, when the linkmen lost their first meet of the spring season, and "Dutch" Uhrlaub's men hit their stride after several previous losses in scoring a 5 to 1 win.
The Tiger golfers swamped Westminster College, 18 to 0, in their opening meet, but later in the season lost to Oklahoma, last year's Big Six runner-up, 19 to 2. Bob Hogeboom captains the Missouri team, and will play the number 1 position against Kansas.
Dean Ritchie and Rod Wakeland are the only certain starters in tomorrow's meet. Qualifying rounds are being held this afternoon to determine who will play the number 3 and 4 positions. Bill McElhenny and Bill Gray filled these places in the first two meets, but Coach Shannon substituted Bob LaGree in the number 4 slot against Wichita. LaGree came through with an 81.
Coach George Edwards, Tiger golf and tennis coach, will bring six golfers, enabling two practice matches to be held. These matches will not be counted in determining the meet score.
All matches will be played on the Lawrence Country Club course.
According to tennis coach "Dutch" Uhrlaub, eight men will see action against the Tiger netmen on the courts southwest of the stadium. Howard Engleman and Kermit Franks will again play the first two positions, against the team which was runner-up in last year's Big Six meet.
In the other singles matches, Jack Floyd, Conrad Voelker, Warren
would just stay out of baseball a year if he had to.
If Kansas had three more players like Dean Ritchie and Rod Wakeland on the golf team, K.U. would have little trouble defending their Big Six title. . . But right now three boys, Bill Gray, McElhenny, and Bob Lagree are fighting it out for the number 2 and 3 positions. . . All of the boys tour the Lawrence Country Club in about 82 or 83. . . Yesterday, McEhenny pulled through with a 76.
3,000 Athletes In Penn Relays
Philadelphia, April 26.—(UP) The cream of college, university and prep school track and field athletes in the south, east and parts of the middlewest converged on Franklin field today for the forty sixth annual running of the Penn Relays.
Twenty-eight events are on today's program and 48 on tomorrow's. The carnival drew approximately 3,000 athletes from 500 schools.
Titles to be decided between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. today include the special 120-yard high hurles, the two - mile run, the 400 - meter hurdles, shot put, discus throw and the distance and sprint medley relays, billed as for the "championship of America."
The 120-yard high hurdles, with Frank Fuller of Virginia, attempting to defend the title he won last year, is one of three special events on this year's card. The other two—tomorrow—the one-mile run, bringing together those three old rivals, Chuck Fenske, Glenn Cunningham and Gene Venske as well as Walt Mehl of Wisconsin, and the 100-yard dash.
Shupe, Charles Snyder, Bob Minor,
and Harris will probably see action.
Engleman and Floyd, Franks and
Voelker, Harris and Snyder, are the
combinations for the doubles events.

Sports Parade
By Henry McLemore
New York, April 26—(UP)—Those who would will go in the Wood.
I mean, of course, that those three-year-old horses who would challenge the mighty Bimelech in the Kentucky Derby will take one final test of their fitness tomorrow at rickety little Jamaica race course in the 1940 renewal of the $20,000 Wood Memorial—the best known of the Ivy League derby preps.
We all know about Bimelech now, after what he did to Joseph E. Widener's Roman in the Blue Grass stakes at Kenneland. That baby doesn't need any man's help from here on out. He's just a lonely sort of cuss with a garboesque penchant for aloofness. The farther he can stay away from other horses, the better he likes it, and he likes i best.
But if some trim-legged little number comes winging down that straightaway at Jamaica tomorrow and then keeps right on going until he feels the caress of Matt Winn's rose horse-shoe around his neck on May 4—well, it wouldn't be the first time. Johnston, for instance, did it last year. Gallant Fox did it back in 1932. Omaha didn't win the wood, but if he had had about the same distance as there is between the ordinary living room and kitchen left to run, he would have won it.
When I mention distance let me state right here that tomorrow's wood will be the most important ever run. In past years this fixture has been held over a course that measured a mile and 70 yards. This year, however, it has been stretched to a full mile and a sixteenth, so it will take a bit more horse with a bit more run to win it.
Just what horse that will be I frankly don't know. There are at least two dozen horses eligible, and in the past performance chart of the racing form they all look as spotty as the Dionne quintuplets with simultaneous cases of strawberry rash and the measles. Maybe they can run as fast as Bimelech, but apparently they won't unless some equine wreathe breathes upon their rumps and hollers: "boo."
Among the distinguished guests to be present in the starting gate when the meeting is called to order are Arnold Hangar's Dit, Belair Stud's Fenelon, Wheatley Stable's Merry Knight, C. V. Whitney's Flight Command and Carrier Pigeon, something called Robert E. Lee, which may very well be a steamboat—and after the rain they've had the past week at Jamaica, it would be better off if it were—Damon Runyan's Tight Shoes, and the usual assortment of chocolate, vanilla, orange, lemon and lime.
Of all these mentioned, I believe Dit has the best chance. Dit ran only four times last year and certainly set none of his owner's barns afire, but he was well liked by horsemen. He started here the other day for the first time this season and turned back Wheatley's Asp and Tight Shoes fairly easily. He's one who may like the derby route.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
With hundreds of successful enrollmentstudiers going through the last "Look-at-thebirdies" and "Hold-it" for senior pictures, reality strikes with blitzkrieg force that not all diriomas, particularly those under the arms of women, will secure for their owners anything like a future—let alone a successful one. Unfortunately, what looks promising now may turn out to be as undependable as an M.S.C. election.
It's Not All Roses Now
Pull or exceptional ability may make a few women students succeed. A string of influential friends may put Suzy Graduate in as one of the better blackboard-scrawlers in one of the better public schools. Talent or aptitude may lead her to any number of tops—or near-tops, but it will take every nerve she owns to get her there.
Instead of headlines and fat salary envelopes, the rest may see only "No-helpwanted" and "Experience-necessary" signs. Common is the example of women with degrees who take a six-week typing-shorthand-filing course before employment. A former-boss reference in the hand of an applicant rather than a diploma is the usual prequisite for even "thataddress-fits-beautifully-madam" jobs.
More secure, possibly, is the woman graduate who hangs her diploma beside her marriage license in a home somewhere.

Invention Vs. Stability
Thirty-four years ago only two automobiles rumbled in Kansas City's streets. Yet, the two drivers managed to meet one day . . . in a head on collision. In like manner, the draw-backs of technological advance have caught up with its good points and the resultant collision is causing a chaotic ruckus throughout the economic world.
About nine years ago, when Technology arose to fame, its advocates envisioned the perfect Utopian paradise in which mighty machines, operated by simple push buttons, would do the work of thousands of men, while modern Rip Winkles sat back on their haunches and thrived off the land. True, these technologists were somewhat wild in their dreams, but they did not far miss their mark. Spurred on by the prospect, scientists and inventors pushed technology to the zenith. In shoe factories, each revolution of a wheel completely soled 200 pairs of shoes. Paper-making machines a city-block long could turn out a strip of paper 21 feet wide and 300 miles long in a day's time. A radio for every six persons in the United States provided entertainment for all, while technology transformed the universe into a synthetic paradise with but a minimum of manual labor.
Strangely enough, however, along with this transformation came other problems to be fuddle and harrass the mind of the day-dreaming genius. At least two under-currents were flowing. First of all, the machines were too efficient and put so many men out of work that unemployment figures approached the ten-million mark. Too, this efficiency flooded the world markets with products that could not be absorbed. This tendency was unsafe because it plainly upset a system that was based on
scarcity. With a start, the technologist awoke from his dream-turned-nightmare to find that, alas, no age is golden, and that Christmas is just a state of mind.
Who is at fault in this paradoxial situation? Naturally, the laborer blames the cog-wheel brain-truster, saying that if it were not for his infernal machines there would be no unemployment. The technologist mutters something to the effect that he is not his brother's keeper and bemoans his lost dreams.
A summation does not prove that either the laborer or the technologist is to blame. Formulated into a convenient economic law, the real reason might run like this: In a system where two ideas of economic planning are prevalent, both based on sound reasoning and existing only for the good of mankind, that system will persist which benefits humanity most directly. Or in the jargon of the man-in-the-street, "One simply cannot have his cake, and eat it too."

Class of'40 Graduates As Certified Literates
By Mary McAnaw, c'42
The big black bugbear, sometimes known as the proficiency examination, is graduating its first class this spring for the College class of 1940 is the first to graduate under this requirement.
These tests are given twice each semester to juniors and seniors in the college, who must complete 24 hours of work in residence after passing the examination. Failure to pass the examination by the end of the senior ___ year prevents graduation.
The quizes were instituted to prevent, if possible, the graduation of persons obviously not proficient in practical usage of the English language.
This cheerful sentence prefaces the
Such sentences as "A house was for sale by a man with two large bay windows," combined with period and comma faults, dangling participies, and the incorrect use of then and than, lay and lie, an and help fill the preparatory class conducted for those failing the test. This class meets on Tuesdays at 13:0 p.m. under the direction of Mrs. Genevieve Cain of the Correspondence Study Bureau.
If you would believe the reports of those who have taken the test it is really a bugbear but actually it's not so far removed from examinations in College rhetoric. At least that's what the Committee on Proficiency Examinations thinks, and to support their statement they pull out a copy of a typical test.
quiz questions. "The essays are judged for unity, coherence, clearness, and correctness." This is followed by three questions, as follows:
"1. Write two paragraphs of 100-200 words each defining two of the following subjects: a ski-suit, an ice cream cone, or a radio, an epic, neurosis, or knitting."
2. In a composition of 300-500 words explain in some detail one of the following procedures; greasing an automobile, studying for an examination, spoiling a child, or making a date.
3. Suppose that an older acquaintance has inquired of you the probable expense of maintaining a son or daughter in the University. Answer the inquiry in a letter of 300-400 words."
And having completed a test like the one above all you have to do now is wait until the results are announced. If you pass, congratulations. If not, just remember to try, try, again.
ROCK CHALK TALK
By Marilyn McBride
Overhead the endless playing of piano scales, the shrilling of soprano voices; outside a demolishing crew at work tearing the back off the building . . . that is the quiet scholastic atmosphere of Ad building.
Artie Shaw, that young man with a clarinet and Lana Turner, is back in the band business with a smooth new orchestra with more strings and less brass. He is making the deliberate records he likes, playing his clarinet . . . casually and superbly. One of the first of his new record crop is a haunting oriental arrangement of the beautiful but morbid, "Gloomy Sunday," which was banned from the air when it made its first appearance several years ago. Other side of the disc is a subtle little tune called "Don't Go to Sleep."
Columnists Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner have written the American volume in the current colored-book series; its title: "American White Paper." In this behind-the-scenes pamphlet is revealed the way U.S. policy-makers long foresaw World War II, pondered in advance each complex consequence. At best (Allied victory) the four bigwigs . . Roosevelt, Hull, Welles, Berle . . foresaw world-wide economic chaos; at worst (German victory) the U.S. would be "in the unfortunate position of an old-fashioned general store in a town full of hard-bitten chains".
What they say: "The day's mirages had set me thinking. Purple is discriminated against. You don't want to live in a purple house, and Gelett Burgess doesn't want to be a purple cow. Why not? You've both had anti-purple conditioned against. Red means nasty things, too. It means stop to a driver, communist to a conservative, and charge to a bull. Whereas white is tops; chastity and communion lilies. Color is just a state of mind. Color is what you think it is." (William Van Til in "Danube Flows Thru Fascism.")
Good music, an excellent and hard-working cast, and some pretty high peaks in entertainment; that was "Sing n Swing." Yet the campus-musical failed to play to capacity crowds; W.S.G. A. dived into the financial hole. The usual windlind K.U. enthusiasm for all things local has ceased to be a tradition and become a fixation.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
Jeryn Ann Green waxed applicative this week when five Alpha Chi's rushed into the bathroom with wastebaskets, scooped up bath water from the tub in which Jeryn reclined. The crises was precipitated by a fire, which some enterprising lass had patted out with a blanket before the waste basket brigade reached the scene.
Pleaded Jeryn Ann, left high and dry,
"Bring that water back here.
That's my whole week's allowance!"
The local police picked up a man recently with something of a record record. He's been booked fifty times in the last six years and has had eight years of sentence against him during these six years and was legally free until last night. Eight years sentence in six years and still at liberty! Some kind of argument against parole there.
The men with the pickaxes and disintegrator hammers getting their nightwork in by learing down the back steps of Frank Strong have caused a general run on the Pi Phi bench on these warm evenings. Formerly an ideal spot, the bright lights and nerve racking noises have deprived the steps of their former night time utility.

Her eyes are turned down demurely as if she were pondering an embarrassing answer. Or they may be turned toward the door which any minute will be rapped by her escort. Still, maybe it will be the census taker, not her escort. On third thought, that looks like the door behind her. So, she's probably looking at a little dog. Anyway, it's a nice gown she's wearing, isn't it.

Former Student Goes Hollywood In Shirley Temple Show
From law school to a Shirley Temple picture is the course traveled by Ted North, '38, now making his first appearance before a Hollywood movie camera in the Twentieth Century Fox production, "The Young People", starring Shirley Temple.
If Ted North, Phi Kappa Psi, should happen to share in some of that "stardust" sprinkled in Hollywood, he will be the first Kansan to do so since B. Rogers, who, incidentally was also a former University student and a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
After his graduation from the College, Ted enrolled in the School of Law and became a member of Phi Delta Phi, legal fraternity. However, he gave up law school after one year to work in his father's stock company, in whose productions he had been since he was five years old.
While vacationing in California last summer Ted and his father, Ted North. Sr., renewed a friendship
with Warner Baxter. A visit with a producer, arranged by Mr. Baxter, followed by a favorable screen test, led to a contract and a part in Shirley Temple's newest picture.
Law Scholarship Awarded to Ramsey
John David Ramsey, c'40, has accepted a three year scholarship carrying a $400 stipend to the Harvard School of Law, it was learned today.
Ramsey was also notified of a scholarship to Columbia University which carried a stipend of $500, but declined this in favor of the Harvard tuition offer. About 20 of the Harvard law scholarships are awarded each year.

Miss Swarthout, daughter of Dean D.M. Swarthout, recently returned from a 3-year study in London to be featured on the Town Hall program, was secured to fill the spot left vacant by the illness of Paul Musikonsky, violinist, who was to have appeared that night.
The peak of the week will be Wednesday when Richard Crooks comes to Hoch auditorium. Crooks, star of the Metropolitan Opera, has gained considerable success recently as the star of the Monday night N.B.C. Firestone Hour. He was signed immediately after it was learned a week ago that Lawrence Tibbett would be unable to appear here because of a serious illness. Tibbett is under option to come here next year.
To climax Music Week, the Pro Arte String Quartet of Brussels, Belgium, will appear in the theater of Fraser hall Thursday and Friday nights, and Saturday afternoon.

Convocation Will Honor Arts School
Charles Fabens Kelley, assistant director and curator of the Chicago Art Institute, will address an all-University Convocation at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. His speech, "Art and the Public," is the climax of the program honoring the School of Fine Arts, conducting the annual Music Weeks Festival.
His talk will be one he gave recently at the dedication of the new Fine Arts building at the University of Southern California, where favorable comment in the speech prompted D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, to bring Kelley here for the special convocation.
Chaneellor Deane W. Malott will introduce the speaker, who in addition to being one-time head of the School of Fine Arts of Ohio State University and present dean of the same school at the University of Chicago, is a noted contributor to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Kelley has recently done extensive lecturing over the country on the subject of Oriental art.
The University Band, lead by Russell L. Wiley, will open the convocation with the "Manx Overture" (Haydn Wood). Following this Dean Swarthout will lead the singing of "America." G. Criss Simpson will accompany on the organ.

Huff Seeks Reason For Show Loss
A reason for the non-jelling of "Sing 'n Swing," W.S.G.A. backed musical production, is still being sought by executive council members, headed by O'Thene Huff, c'41.
The W.S.G.A. council counted entirely on ticket sales to pay their bills and to repay them for responsibility of backing the musical comedy. Miss Huff admitted the presence of a definite loss but stated that the amount was not as yet known since all bills for the production have not been received.
"We had an excellent orchestra, and the skits were good. I have seen student audiences who supported heartily other shows in previous years," said Miss Huff yesterday, when asked for a statement concerning the rumored deficit of perhaps $150.
University ruling states that all shows given on the campus and charging admission must be sponsored by a student organization. Proceeds are to be used for worthy causes within the University. Any existing profits from the presentation of "Sing'n Swing" were to have been used for the W.S.G.A. scholarship fund.
Interviews Senior Engineers
A representative from the RCA Radio company will then interview all interested senior mechanical engineers Monday, Professor Earl D. Hay has announced.
Theologian To Give Baccalaureate Address
Dr. Charles Schroeder, professor of homiletics and pastoral theology at Yale since 1937, will deliver the baccalaureate address June 9. Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today.
Doctor Schroeder, who has been minister of churches at Boston, Bagota, N.J., Saginaw, Mich., and Portland, Me., served as lecturer in Biblical literature at Bowdow college before taking his post at Yale. During the World War, he served with the Red Cross in France from 1918 to 1919. He is author of "The Task of Religion," published in 1936.
Because the general commencement committee voted against it, there will be no outside speaker for the commencement service. Instead, Chancellor Malott himself will deliver an address. A similar practice was followed in 1936, when former Chancellor E. H. Lindley spoke before the graduating class.
The Chancellor's address will probably be supplemented by remarks

Koo To Be 'Bowl of Rice' Speaker
Chinese food and customs will predominate Tuesday night, May 7, as University students, faculty members, and Lawrence townpeople participate in a "bowl of rice" dinner in the Union ballroom. This dinner will mark the beginning of the Lawrence drive to secure funds for the needy Chinese students.
The outstanding feature of the dinner will be a talk by Dr. T. Z. Koo, secretary of the World Student Christian federation. He will describe the life of students in China, relating some of their personal ambitions and educational objectives. Dr. Koo is well-known to this campus, having taken part in the Far Eastern Student Service Fund Drive last year.
During his lecture Dr. Koo will present to the students of the University a Chinese flag made by the students of Hongkong to express their appreciation of work done in their behalf. This will be one of 100

Interest In Waring Song To Be Repaid Says Grad
Interest recently shown by the University students in the new University of Kansas song promised by baton-waver Fred Waring may be more than repaid if one is to accept the opinion of James H. Coleman, '38, now connected with Acme Newspictures in New York.
Coleman's letter, written to Kari Klooz. University business office head, intimated that he had heard the new song rehearsed. His letter in part follows:
"Incidentally, I can't say anything specific right at this time, but I'm sure that if the students at the University are listening in Friday, May
3, when Fred Waring plays a new K.U. song, they are going to get quite a surprise."
The signatures of 1200 students, obtained after two weeks of effort on the part of Bill Hogle, b'41, are believed to have contributed to the success of the song, Fred Ellsworth, Alumni secretary, said yesterday.
Mr. Ellsworth is making an investigation of the possibilities of including the song in the interfraternity sing on May 5, two days after the introductory broadcast by Waring. If interest is shown, a special award may be given to the frater-

Parties Held In Novel Settings
Spring Dances Capture Social Spotlight
Spring parties were the byword over the weekend and each organization tried to outdo their rivals with novel ideas for decorations and party schemes. Alpha Delta Pi's surrounded their guests with pink elephants at their spring formal in the Memorial Union ballroom Friday night.
Alpha Chi Omega
The Alpha Chi's danced in a red and white carnival atmosphere at their spring formal at the Memorial Union building last night. Concessions, fortune-tellers and barkers lined the walls. The orchestra pit was a Merry-Go-Round with horses prancing around the outside. Cardboard caricatures of various carnival characters leaned against posts and stood along the walls.
Sigma Nu
A canopy before the Lawrence Country Club led to a real Hollywood premiere at the Sigma Nu party last night. Soft blue lights and silver stars of all sizes set the atmosphere, emphasized by roving spotlights, ferns, and even a rock garden. Pictures of movie stars were set up here and there.

Campus Women Strive For Slender Figures
Stagey Helen Johnson, c'41, advocates eating regularly but moderately and participating in a number of sports.
Women—what do we say about them? Just this: with the faint odor of spring in the air, a girl's thoughts are turned to the figure reflected in her mirror. Does your reflection please you or are you too fat. It is difficult to be attractive if you are as scrawny as a shrub on a rocky hillside, but if you are as large as the hillside, it is hopeless.
Demure Margaret Stookey, fa'40,
believes that not eating between
meals and climbing up the steps of
Ad is the best method of keeping the
scales light.
Flaxen-haired Maxine Miller, c'41,
keeps her figure by following a heavy
exercise schedule which includes
tennis, golf, and dancing.
It is generally agreed that men prefer women with wasp-like waists and slender ankles. $ ^{*} $
There are innumerable ways of achieving a model-like outline. Reducing Chi Omega's lose pounds at a special starvation table. Theta's say that a hard-but-sure way is to refrain from eating starches and desserts.
Auburn-baired Julie Ruth Henry's solution is to eat a lot, sleep a lot, and exercise more than that.
On the other side of the fence. Cecil King, c'42, just eats everything to try to gain weight.
You who are satisfied with your figure, trim it to be lithe and lovely to suit your lilling April mood for where there's a will there's a way.

an account of Mt. Oread Society Kay Bozarth, Society Editor
The last weekend in April could be nothing but typical so thunder clouds darkened the skies over Mount Oread and let go a torrent of rain which slowed down track men in this section of the country but seemed to have a contrary influence on the speed of the social merry-go-round. High school girls here for the annual Play Day shed raindrops like ducks and played with greater vim than shown on last year's sunny Saturday. Nevertheless the rain increased the weekend population in Watson library and many students spent the day working on those "awful term papers."
Dinner guests at the Alpha Tau Omega house last night were Mrs. Charles Scott of Fort Scott, Patricia O'Brien and Betty Warner of Stephen's College, Charles Ottman of Kansas City, Mo., and J. Sherwood Sawyer of Hutchinson.
Weir Pierson of Oakley is a weekend guest at the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Important Bills To Come Before M.S.C. Monday
Two important bills will have their final readings and be voted on tomorrow night at the regular meeting of the Men's Student Council, President C. H. Mullen announced yesterday.
A bill recommending that $550 be granted for the improvement of the intramural fields south of Robinson gymnasium and $250 to go toward the University dormitory project is one of the two important measures. It had its first reading at the last meeting and was given an okay by the Central committee on student activities at its meeting Monday.
Mullen expected that the bill would go through at the men's meeting, but before the money is granted it would have to be approved by the W.S.G.A. Tuesday night.
The other legislation concerns the abolition of the student dance manager. At the meeting last Monday the Council passed a resolution that would do away with the manager and put the handling of varieties in the hands of a committee.
Inasmuch as the Pachacamac party has not yet put in a protest to the student election for presidency of the M.S.C. in which Bill Farmer nosed out Bob McKay in a recount vote, Mullen intimated that the final count would stand.
Actors to Get Awards Tomorrow
Student dramatists and speakers will be honored at the annual Speech Arts, banquet at Evans Hearth at 6 o'clock tomorrow night.
The department of speech and dramatic arts will be hosts to majors in the department, National Collegiate Players and pledges, Dramatics club, Delta Sigma Rho, honorary debating fraternity, the debate squad and all winners of local contests.
Churches Open Festival—
(Continued from page one)
the band will play, the Men's Glee Club will sing, and the audience will sing "America" and close the program with the "Crimson and Blue."
A varied program of entertainment and an address by Chancellor Deane W. Malott will follow the annual School of Fine Arts banquet, to be served at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Tickets for the banquet are for sale at seventy cents in the Fine Arts business office in Frank Strong hall.
The same evening, at 8:20, Evelyn Swarthout, concert pianist, will appear on the Young American Artist program in Hoch auditorium. Miss Swarthout, daughter of Dean Swarthout, will include in her program "Toccato in C Major" (Bach-Buson), "Sonata, Op. 22" (Schumann), "Fifth Sonata" (Seriabin), "Three Etudes" (Debussy), and "Fantasia Baetica" (de Falla).
Richard Crooks, Metropolitan opera company tenor star, will present a concert in Hoch Wednesday evening; his program is one scheduled to replace that of Lawrence Tibbett, originally scheduled but unable to appear because of illness.
The final three nights of the music week will see the Pro Arte String quartet of Brussels, Belgium in a series of concerts. The quartet was brought to the University through the cooperation of Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, University donor in Cambridge, Mass.
Theologian To Give—
Your Palm Beach Suit Should be ready for that emergency.
(Continued from page one) by various dignitaries of the state, it is thought.
Present plans of the committee shape the service much as in former years, with the two exercises occurring on Sunday and Monday nights. Both services will be held in Memorial stadium, to which graduates will march down the hill from Frank Strong hall, unless bad weather forces them to sit in Hoch auditorium. In such case, attendance will be limited to graduates and their families, instead of to the open public, because of limited seating facilities. Not even faculty members and other students will be allowed entrance.
WE can make them have that new look.

Southwestern Stars Shine
Texas Wins Five Firsts At Drake; Perfect Weather
Kansas City, April 27—(Special)—A hot sun beamed down on the two oldest relay carnivals in the country today and fine performances were the order of the day at the Drake Relays in Des Moines and the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.
"Beefus" Bryan captured the Longhorns' other first place in the individual events and likewise set a record. Bryan cleared 14 feet for a new mark in the pole vault.
Southwestern track and field stars held the spotlight at both meets, with the University of Texas making a brilliant showing at Drake and North Texas State winning the lion's share of the honors at Penn. $ \textcircled{*} $
Texas won five events at Drake and took second in another. Jack Hughes, 260-pound junior, set a new record in the discus throw with a heave of 159 feet, 9 1-2 inches.
Texas relay teams won the 440-yard relay, 880-yard relay and shuttle hurdle relay. The Longhorns' sprint relay team of Seay, Gatewood, Terry and Ramsdell won the 440-yard event in 41.8 and the same four men also copped the 880-yard relay.
Other Southwestern teams took second and third in both of these races. Rice finished second each time, with Texas A. & M. third in the 440 and Oklahoma third in the 880.
Boyce Gatewood, Texas senior hurdling star, was the workhorse of the day at Drake. Gatewood anchored the Longhorns' winning shuttle hurdle team brilliantly, in addition to running on both of the other winning Texas relay teams. He also was second in the 120-yard high hurdles.
Fred Wolcott of Rice ran the high hurdles in 14.3 to win his event at Drake for the third straight year.
Foy Wins Fourth
Big Six teams encountered rough going at Des Moines. Kansas' only place went to Glenm Foy, who ran fourth in the 440-yard hurdles.
Penn State, competing for the first time in the Drake Relays rather than the Penn Relays, provided two first place winners at Des Moines, Nick Vukmanik won the javelin throw with a mark of 213 feet 9 inches. Penn State's Negro sophomore star, Barney Ewell, captured the 100-yard dash in 9.9.
Other Drake Relays winners were Harris of Indiana, shot put, 48 feet 9 inches; Brown, Lousiana State, broad jump, 24 feet 1 1-2 inches; Canham, Michigan, high jump, 6 ft. 4 3-4 inches; and Cochran, Indiana, 440-yard hurdles, 53.3.
New Half Mile Record
North Texas State's small squad set a new record in the 880-yard relay of 1.254 at the Penn Relays and placed in one event after another. The Eagles were second in the 440-yard relay, second in the mile relay and third in the sprint medley relay. Welby Williams of North Texas, was second in the 100-yard dash and the Eagles' javelin star, Mikeska, was third in his event.
Maryland came up from the South to win three of the relay races at (Continued on page five)
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
For the first five innings last Friday afternoon, the Jayhawker diamond team looked fairly good, but from then on, the Cyclone batsmen turned the game into a track meet. In the "big sixth" Iowa made 8 runs.
If I had any money to bet on baseball games in the Big Six I wouldn't put it on Kansas. I am afraid that the Jayhawkers are going to have about the same type baseball club that we have had around here for years. K.U. is just not a "hot bed" for baseball players.
The second inning was the "jinx" section of the ball game to Kansas. With John Burge on the mound, Monte Merkel, catcher, tried to field a bunt, and made an overthrow to first baseman, Jack Sands. To top this off, shortstop Kraemer, let a grounder roll right between his legs, allowing two men to score. Then the "up-set" Burge proceeded to walk two men in succession, and Coach Mike Getto proceeded to yank Burge, and insert Horak on the mound.
Official Announcement at last:
The 1940 Olympic Games, a football for the world's war lords for three years, finally were cancelled definitely when Finland decided it would be impossible to hold the international competition at Helsinki this summer . . . Guess the athletes didn't think it would be so much fun dodging javelins, shot puts, hand grenades, discuses, shells, hammer throws, and bullets at the same time.
TORN FROM A SPORTS WRITER'S NOTEBOOK: by Henry McLemore, reveals that speed driver, Wilbur Shaw has suggested that pari-mutuel machines be installed at the Indianapolis Speedway for the benefit of those who would like to bet on the 500-mile race. McLemore says that it will never be adopted because the track officials know what a howl of protest would arise if a heavily backed driver happened to be killed.

Cyclones Drub Kansas Nine; Errors Costly
A deluge of enemy base hits and Kansas errors on Friday afternoon followed by a deluge of rain on Saturday morning combined to make it a blue week end for Coach Mike Getto and his Jayhawk baseball team
After committing nine errors in Friday's game and handing the decision to the visiting Cyclones, the Jayhawks saw their chances for revenge in the second match of the series buried under one inch of precipitation which rendered the varsity diamond unplayable.
Iowa State entrained at 10 o'clock last night for Manhattan where they will engage Kansas State in a two game series tomorrow and Tuesday. From Manhattan, the Cyclones will head south to Norman for two battles with the Oklahoma Sooners on Friday and Saturday.
The postponed game will be played as part of a doubleheader when Kansas tangles with Iowa State at Ames on May 24 and 25.
Leon Wilson, ace of the Iowa State pitching staff, settled down after a shaky first inning in Friday's game and went on to rack up his third straight victory while his mates made merry with the offerings of John Burge and Henry Horak.
The Cyclones bagged three runs in the first and chased Burge from the mound with three more in the second. Horak became the second Kansas pitcher and finished the game, although he almost capsized under an eight run blast in the sixth. The left hander, who struck out eight and gave an equal number of walks, looked good at times, and, had his defense not played him false, the score might have been closer.
Jack Sands, Kansas first baseman, apparently wasn't laboring under the

Kansas Golfers Split Matches With Missouri
Rain-soaked courts caused postponement of tennis matches scheduled with the University of Missouri yesterday, but the Jayhawk linken, after trailing the first nine holes, split their matches 9 to 9 with the Tiger golfers.
Bob LaGree, playing in the last foursome, sank a 20-foot putt for a birdie on the 18th hole, to gain half a point on his foursome and tie the match with the Tigers. Dean Ritchie and Rod Wakeland both parred the 17th hole and Ritchie birdied the 18th to square their foursome with Hogeboom and Victors, Tigers golfers, $ \frac{1}{2} $ to $ \frac{1}{3} $ .
Dean Ritchie, Jayhawk captain,
and Bob Hogeboom, who captains
the Tiger golfers, both shot the 18
holes in 76 for medalist honors.
Ritchie shot two birdies on the back
nine. Rod Wakeland played his
usual good game after an off-day
against Wichita University Wednesday,
and turned in a 78 for runner-up honors.
Jayhawk squadmen lost both of their practice matches with the Missourians. Missildine, Missouri, (80), defeated Bill Gray, K.U., (85), 3-0; Miles, Missouri, (84), defeated Burr Sifers, K.U., (90), 3-0.
This was the fourth match for Coach Shannon's men. They started the spring season by swamping Kansas City University, 18 to 0, and defeating Nebraska, their first Big Six opponent, 16 to 2, in their second. Wichita University handed the Big Six defending champions their only loss.
The golf and tennis teams journey to Topeka Wednesday for matches with Washburn College in their next dual meet.

The Jayhawks hope to hit the someback trail Tuesday afternoon comeback trail Tuesday afternoon for a single game with Rockhurst.

Kiddie Reviews--Pffff!!
It's a little difficult to tell just what is in store for this immediate young generation, but not hard to forecast what is at hand for that legion of short-pantied kiddie who tortune innocent audiences with their dancing school routines. These "ain't I cute?" tikes are going to be running back to their mommies one of these nights with tomato juice streaming down their cheeks crying "Waa! that bad man in the front row threw something at me."
Now that may be a little rough on the children. These mother's little paragons of cuteness can shuffle their feet around with just a bare semblance of rhythm may be their mothers "little lamb chops," but to the average hardboiled movie goers they're just plain ham actors. Ever since Shirley Temple slipped by the movie world with her "On the good ship, Lollypop"—the way greased by a brave smile for everybody,—mothers have been making perfectly good children over into stagey jackanapes, whose posturing and wailings groan nightly from American theater goers.
Take, for example, the Granada theater the other night. A fair show—Primrose Path—was prefaced by one of the most malodorous "kiddie reviews" ever flashed upon the silver screen—it takes a heavy scent to win that honor once. For 15 minutes children of every producer, actor, camerman, and scenario writer in Hollywood pranced and prattled to immortal ooedom. They committed mayhem on every one of the audience's nerves.
As if that wasn't enough, Friday night comes, and with it another "kiddie review"—in the flesh. The children weren't so terrible—performing before sis's suitor in the family parlor they'd have been a riot. But putting them on a stage before a full house of unsuspecting, innocent customers is an unconscious attempt to destroy that sacred Christian inheritance—the love of little children. The theater's announcer suspected the audience's sentiments because he apologized with a subtle introduction that the "show" would last "only 15 minutes." It seemed hours.
This epidemic of "kiddie reviews" is a product of spring. All winter the children have been taking lessons, spending the father's hard earned money, trying to learn how to be something besides normal children. So as a graduation present they are awarded the opportunity to wrack the nerves of an audience which paid hard cash to see the "Invisible Man."
★★
Many a motorist who is modest enough at home doesn't mind blowing his own horn once he settles down behind the wheel of his automobile. A horn may be a useful instrument if properly used, but the fellow who plays a solo on it with all stops open has more than brains.
You can't blame Mr. Schwahn, the manager. He, like any other man, can not withstand the demands of a mother who thinks her child is cute. But unless he can learn to turn a kind but deaf ear to doting mothers and ambitious dancing teachers, he's going to lose the reputation of being one of the best showmen in the Middle-west. Heed our desperate plea, Mr. Schwahn—No more "kiddie reviews" pulllease.

Cradle of American Art Found In Middle West
By Bernard (Poco) Frazier, Sculptor
Art experts ventured the prophecy some years ago, that the ultimate cradle of American creative expression would be located in the middle-west. Taken lightly at first, this surprising statement was given new force in the nineteen thirties, when a group of painters from the prairie states drew the national spotlight and were welcomed as proof that the thing had happened. Their painting and the stories of their lives caught the fancy of the country with such intensity that little was said about art which did not include them as subject matter and prime example.
This state was fortunate in reaping more than its share of the glory which the midwest region found heaped upon its artistic potency. John Steuart Curry and Henry Varnum Poor received major awards and were loudly acclaimed in the marble halls of our great centers, Ward Lockwood and Kenneth Adams accepted fine teaching positions in state universities and our leading graphic artists, Lloyd Foltz, Charles Capps and Hershel Logan found themselves on the prize lists in the best of competition. Bruce Moore, Wichita sculptor was given a Guggenheim Fellowship and Waylande Gregory from Columbus was called the finest ceramic sculptor by Life and Fortune magazine.
★ ★ ★
Teaching staffs of the states art schools found new and increased acceptance of their work and student groups received letters of praise for originality shown in their creative efforts. The New Yorker informed us jokingly that people were beginning to believe that Kansas was a place where geniuses almost hid the tall corn and Life printed an article "Art Books as Best Sellers" which used photographs of two art books as illustration one written by Thomas Craven from Salina and the other bearing as a cover design, a painting of Kansas by a Kansan. It was suddenly more profitable to be from Kansas than from New York's famed Greenwich Village colony as far as art prestige was concerned. Apparently the prophets had been a little timid.
All of this time there was another idea in the air. It was not a new idea but it was certainly a growing one. Some people were wondering what all this could mean to those people back home, who furnished the cultural situation, the subject matter and often the funds to make this thing possible. It was being whispered that recognition in the marble halls was not enough and that until the cycle was more complete, returning the movement nearer its point of origin, it was not an entire success. This belief doubts that our mission is to furnish activity for art organizations and suggests that real value is more apt to be found in the doing than in the owning.
★ ★ ★
This idea will blossom. Schools are more interested than ever before. Exhibitions are including names of many people who live and work successfully in their home community. A leading sculpture student at the university announces that he will not be a professional but will have a studio during the five months a year when he is not an oil operator. There are many healthy signs.
If the joy of creative fervor is to touch the multitudes, they must have faith that they are endowed with as much right to indulge as the professional and they must realize that the margin of difference in talent which separates them from the other group is not half so wide as they might be led to believe. Honor our men of fame. Their greatest service is to prove that it can be done here. The source from which they sprang is not a temporary one. A critic says that an apple by Cezanne is of more artistic importance than a madonna by Raphael. He might have added that the drawing on the fly leaf of your old math book could be of more importance, to you, than either the work of the rebel Frenchman or the immortal Italian.

Faculty Members Lead Witan Discussion Groups
Round table discussions by members of the faculty were the high points of a three-day Witan conference which closed this morning.
Approximately 35 high school and college men from Kansas City, Emporia, Leavenworth, and Lawrence met in groups Saturday morning to hear Henry Werner, men's student adviser; Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College; F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law; Frank Stockton, dean of the School of Business; and F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering, discuss the possibilities in their particular fields and costs of attending college.
The conference opened Friday at 5 p.m. with registration. A rally at the home of E. E. Bayles, associate professor of education, and a bowl- tournament followed.
Saturday's schedule included discussion groups and a luncheon at 12:30 in the English room of the Memorial Union building. In the afternoon there was a business meeting and a basketball tournament, followed by a dance in the Kansas room that evening.
Today's schedule includes a meeting of the executive council at which plans for the next regional conference will be discussed. This meeting will be held in Kansas City July 14, Witan's anniversary of organization. The group will then attend church.
Delegates have stayed at the homes of Lawrence members during the conference.
Banquet Tickets For Parents Day Go On Sale Monday
Tickets for the Parents' Day banquet, May 4, will be on sale Monday morning at the business office, Elizabeth Meguiar, women's adviser, announced yesterday. The dinner will be at 6:30 p.m. in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. Ticket sales will end Friday.
Prizes will be presented to the parents coming the longest distance and to the parents having the most children in the University of Kansas. Honorable mention will be given to the organized house having the largest percentage of mothers and fathers present and to the county having the largest representation.
Students are urged to write home inviting their parents for the annual celebration. Printed invitations have been sent out from the University to the parents of every University student. Although this year's attendance will remain indefinite until the morning of May 4, in previous years it has ranged from 400 to 800.
Corbin, Miller, and Watkins halls will hold open house for parents from 2:30 until 4 p.m., May 4. Tea will be served at Spooner-Thayer museum from 4 until 5 the same afternoon.
John Ise, professor of economics, will speak on "Standards of Living and Family Finance" at the Friday morning session of the home interests conference.

KFKU Will Broadcast Music Week Highlights
Three high spots of the Music Week program will be heard over KFKU, Mildred I Seaman, assistant program director of radio, announced today.
The Westminster A Cappella choir and the University Symphony Orchestra presenting "Magnificat" will be broadcast at 8:20 p.m. Monday. Charles F. Kelley, assistant director of the Chicago Art Institute, speaking on "Art and the Public" at convocation, will be heard at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

George O. Foster, registrar of the University, returned yesterday from St. Louis, Mo., where he attended the twenty-eight annual convention of the American Association of College Registrars, April 23-25, held in the Hotel Statler.
Foster Attends Registrars' Meet
The association discussed the various aspects of registration and the differences in systems used by college registrars' offices throughout the United States, Foster said. He went to the meet as a member of its committee on appraisal. In 1914, he served as national president of the organization.
The association has just released its publication, the "Journal of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars," for the month of April. The book contains statistics and articles on directorship of student welfare, and a directory of all the college registrars who are members of the association.
Weekend guests at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house were Frank Ewing, 39, and Bill Robertson, both of Esancia, New Mexico.

Men Don Shorts To Be Carhops
Dallas, Texas. April 27—(UP)—Broad-shouldered young men wearing smiles—and blue, white and striped silk shorts—took their places today along with scantily clad girl carhops in Dallas drive-in taverns.
The girls, their ranks not yet seriously reduced by hiring of male competitors, thought the boys looked "just too cute."
So did dozens of women customers. Business, reported by three stands, was booming, at least from the feminine trade.
The whole thing started when police chief Welch received complaints of the brevity of costumes worn by girl tavern employees. He found them scanty all right—including some lassies in grass haulahula-skirts—but also reported he saw some women customers sipping beer whose apparel, or lack of it, shamed the girls.
Today husky youths greeted the drive-in trade at three beer and soft drink stands with well-muscled, hairy legs stretching 'in all their glory from silk and satin shorts, some with blue piping on white, and some striped blue and white.
The boys, required to be at least six feet tall, good-looking and with a winning smile, wore white sweat-shirts and cowboy boots.
Guide High School to Careers
A "Career Clinic"—educational and vocational guidance conferences—were held yesterday afternoon at Lawrence Liberty Memorial High School.
Thirty-two faculty members from the University, representing nearly every possible vocation, conducted the conferences, which were divided in two sessions—from 1 o'clock to 2, and from 2 to 3. Following these sessions, individual conferences were held for those desiring them.

He has been carrying on almost constant correspondence with Waring, and is thoroughly interested in seeing that proper appreciation be shown for the efforts of the songwriter.

Farmer Finally Wins
Housing inspection and the intramural football field appropriations
Bill Farmer was safely seated in the M.S.C. president's chair today after the council ruled last night to install him in office next Friday.
The election was out of official controversy when Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, ruled that no formal protest on the election had been made by yesterday morning's 10 o'clock deadline.
Faremr's election has been in debate since a recount showed him the victor by a lone vote almost two weeks ago.

Dorm Fund Drive Gets Underway
Given impetus by a $75 gift from the Men's Student Council, the council-sponsored committee to aid new dorms met this afternoon to organize a campus-wide drive for funds.
Donn Mosser, c'42, drive head, said today that the drive would attempt to reach a $2,500 goal. That sum Mosser said, probably would be used to furnish several rooms in the two new men's dormitories.
It was indicated that the drive would be conducted in a similar fashion to last year's drive to send the University Band to Washington.

Art Designed To Entertain Kelly Says
Anecdotes flew thick and fast this morning as Charles Fabens Kelley entertained an audience of about 700 with personal anecdotes and experiences gained as assistant director of the Chicago Art Institute. The Fine Arts Day Convocation speaker made the rafters of Hoch auditorium ring with laughter as he punctuated advice on how to enjoy art with witty comments on art and artists.
"We go to museums with unworthy motives. We go with the idea of seeing everything in the museum. The usual procedure is to go to the first gallery and look at the first label, then glance at the picture to see if it really is what the label says," the speaker said. Don't Read All Labels

Reola Durand Named Oread's Best Actress
Miss Swarthout recently returned from a year's study in England to be featured on the New York City Town Hall program. Her program tonight will be the same as the one she gave there last month.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott was scheduled to address the School of Fine Arts banquet this evening at 6 o'clock in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. A program starring
Reola Durand, c'43, was named last night as the Hill's leading actress for 1940 at the annual Speech Arts banquet at Evans Hearth. Miss Durand received the citation for her work in the play, "Holiday." Mary Noel, c'40, was given an honorable mention for her work in "Quality Street."
Best male actor of the year, according to the Dramatics art department, was Lorenzo Fuller, Negro student who was the Emperor in O'Neill's "Emperor Jones," presented in Fraser theater last fall.
Germans Slice Allied Defenses In Norwegian Mountains
By Joe Alex Morris
German mechanized troops sliced through the heart of Allied defense lines in the mountains of central Norway today and battled to drive the British-French expeditionary force back toward the North Sea.
A communique of the High Command at Berlin asserted that German forces fighting Northward from the Oslo sector for more than two weeks in a drive for control of the vital Norwegian communications lines had at last made contact with the German troops moving southward from Trondheim.
Furthermore, the communique said, the Germans seriously defeated Allied troops in the Gubrands valley (near Otta) and chased them back toward the town of Dombaas, which is the key to the railroad system on the central front and which appeared likely to be the scene of the most important battle of the war to date.
The outcome of the fighting at Dombaas
may decide whether the Allies can maintain their foothold in central Norway south of Trondheim.
From the Swedish frontier, it was reported that a major battle already was under way in the Gudbrands valley, apparently before the junction of Dombaas. In London a military spokesman said that the Allied position was difficult as a result of the Nazi military successes.
Everywhere, the High Command said, the German forces in Norway were pounding ahead and their airplanes were blasting at Allied reinforcements and supply lines with tons of explosives. Warships, transports, landing bases, supply trains and troops on the roads were hammered by the German pilots, according to Berlin, and all efforts of the British and French to consolidate their positions south of Trondheim were being hampered or broken up.
Jack Nelson, gr., was named the actor showing the greatest improvement during the year. Nelson is the actor who had leading roles in two plays this year and was a stand-out success in both of them, "Quality Street," and "The Night of January Sixteenth."
David Gets Honor
Larry David, fa'40, was cited for making the greatest contribution to public productions; and Marvin Moon, c'40, was honored for having been cast in eight productions, all of the department's plays, during the past two years.
Also announced last night were the 1940 initiates of the National Collegiate Players, selected for their service in the dramatic department during the year. They are: William Shipley, fa'40; Shirley Ruble, c'42; Emmy Jane Harbin, c'41; Larry David, fa'40; Fred Fleming, c'41; Alice Noone, gr., Bill Fey, c'40; Rosemary Sebesta, c'40; Les Hixon, sp; and Nancy Moore, gr.

the men's Quartet preceded the Chancellor's talk.

College Women Say Suits
College women like to fill their wardrobes with simple clothes that will permit them to try their hand at every activity a school day may suggest. Their favorites are the classic clothes that can be worn for all occasions and all hours.
Suits are first on the list. Those of flannel or multicolored tweed may be used as a basic costume for a number of wardrobe changes. Flannel is light weight enough to be worn late in the season with blouses and sweaters, and one suit with a number of accessories easily becomes the foundation of a daytime wardrobe.
These suits are simply styled combining flared skirts and jackets that will mix or match with wool dresses and other separate skirts. They emphasize easy lines—broad shoulders, not too exaggerated waistlines, and convenient pockets. Pastel colors are preferred. First among them are dusty rose, smoky blue, sea-spray green and canary yellow. The fabrics are sturdy enough to hold their lines and stand frequent cleaning.

Paris, April 30.—(UP)—Dr. Jean Besancon. 80-year-old authority on longevity, advised today:
Do not drink water, take as little exercise as possible, and have a highball at tea time.
"Sobberness never made anybody live longer—nor did starving." Doctor Besancon wrote in his newly-published book on the health of aged persons. "Eat as much as you can. Smoking is harmless, except in rare cases."
The doctor counseled those over 40 to abandon exercise because of the strain on the heart.

Streit Predicts American Fall If Hitler Wins
"I do not believe that we can maintain our federal union if the other democracies fail," Clarence K. Streit, Missouri-born analyst of world affairs, predicted to his first Kansas audience in Fraser theater yesterday.
Explaining how the United States might be saved, Streit outlined a world union of fifteen well-established democracies with a government similar to that of this country. Further explaining, he said that citizens of these nations would be citizens of the union as well as of their own states.
Author of "Union Now"
This gargantuan system, the au-
of "Union Now" pointed out would involve the setting up of a gigantic government with an executive board, a house of representatives, a senate, and a judiciary body. Like our federal government, it would frame policies in regard to the relations between the fifteen states, leaving internal affairs strictly to the states. Systems of communication and currency would be standardized and tariffs abolished.
Enumerating the advantages of a union, Streit claimed that it would rule all the oceans, absorb one-half the earth's population, and through ownership of most of the world's resources, open vistas of economic success.
Of the future for the scheme, Streit visioned the uniting of other later qualifying states until the globe should become one solid un-
Needs Political Inventions
Because the United States has eliminated distances with more mechanical inventions than any other country, the foreign correspondent maintained that her duty is to parallel those lines with political inventions. "I can see people set the clock ahead and set it back but not both at the same time without smashing the clock," he said.
One of two courses stands open for the United States, Streit concluded. Should the allies win the war, the United States must be ready with a pre-organized plan for union to halt another aftermath of a second Versailles treaty. On the other hand, if Hitler succeeds, Streit boded fatality for American democracy.
National Editorial Head Speaks to Journalists

Golfers, Netmen Play Washburn Tomorrow Kansas State Comes Here
Beginning with matches tomorrow at Topeka with Washburn College, the golf and tennis teams have a busy week ahead. Thursday Kansas State invades Lawrence for a dual meet, and Saturday the teams journey to Lincoln, for return matches with Nebraska.
Coach "Dutch" Uhrlaub's netmen meet an undefeated team at Topeka tomorrow. Earlier in the season, Washburn scored a 4 to 2 win over Kansas State and defeated Wichita University Saturday, 5 to 1. The Jayhawk tennis men won a 5 to 1 victory over Wichita, their first win of the season, last Wednesday.
Washburn was to have played golf and tennis matches here April 17, but the matches were postponed because of rain that afternoon and will probably be played the week of May 6-11.
Howard Engleman, varsity number one man, Kermit Franks and Conrad Voelker will make the trip to Topeka. Coach Uhrlaub was undecided this morning as to who would play the number three spot and make up the fourth member of the team.
Dean Ritchie, Rod Wakeland, Bill McEhenny and Bob LaGree will represent Kansas in the golf matches. Playing on a soft, wet course, Ritchie shot a 76 to lead the linkmen to a 9 to 9 tie in their meet with Missouri Saturday. He shot his lowest match score, a one-under-par 71, against Wichita last Wednesday, but the Big Six defending champions lost the meet 12 to 6, in their only setback of the 1940 season.
Wakeland has been playing in the middle 70's for Coach Shannon's men in matches played this season. McElhenny, number three man, carded scores in the 70's in practice matches, but has been unable to score below an 83 in meets. The number four spot has been filled by Bob LaGree, who has been playing in the lower 80's, to give Kansas a well-rounded team to meet Washburn.
Washburn bowed to Wichita University, the team that handed the Jayhawks their only defeat, 16 to 2, Saturday. Jack Wormington led the Ichabod golfers with an 80.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
It is a really big sports week for the Jayhawker athletic teams this week. Our netmen and linkmen meet three visitors, while our cindermen engage the Kansas State Wildcats here Saturday—all events will take place if the weather permits.
On Wednesday, our golfers and tennis players will meet Washburn on their links and courts in Topeka. Then on Thursday, the Jayhawker teams meet the Kansas State Aggies on our course and courts. But on Saturday, the Kansas teams will journey to Lincoln to play another Big Six match against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
But this is not the half of it—because the K.U. diamond team plays the Huskers on our field Friday and Saturday afternoon. So all of the coaches, fans and participants are hoping for GOOD weather, which is especially missing in Kansas.
Intramural matches and baseball schedules have been rained out lately and the intramural office reports that it is running far behind on its schedule.
Hats off to Glenn Foy . . . . . . who was the only Kansas man to even place in the Drake Relays last Saturday. Foy, brother of Lyle Foy, K.U. cinder captain last year, won a fourth place in the 440-yard low hurdles. This race is very seldom seen in these parts, and to my knowledge, only the Drake Relays and the National A.A.U. meet in the summer carry this event on the program. . . Reports that Foy was second until he stumbled on the second from last hurdle, have reached our ears through members of the Jayhawkter track team. . . Considering that this is the first time that Glenn had ever run these distance hurdles, he should be given credit.
Warning to al intramural participants. . . it is rumored that there will be an intramural track meet, so if any of you Jesse Owens' wish to participate, you had better heie it down to the indoor track and get into condition as much as you can, because no matter how much you think you are in condition, just wait until you run in the intramural meet.
From the Big Ten Conference comes the info that Bill de Correvont, Northwestern football ace, is out on the baseball diamond now and he is whipping out trouble already.
In the big rings in the fighting world more publicity for the Max Baer-Tony Galento fight in Madison
Will Play Three Matches
BULLETIN
Spring basketball practice will start tomorrow at 3:30, according to Dr. "Phog" Allen. There will be practice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. Practice the next two weeks will be on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the same time. All those interested should check out equipment immediately.
K.U.-Hawk Ball Game Postponed
A heavy downpour of rain fell about 11 o'clock this morning, transforming the Rockhurst baseball diamond into a veritable quagmire, washed away all hopes the Jayhawkers had entertained of getting back into stride this afternoon after Friday's loss to Iowa State.
BULLETIN
The game will probably be played in Kansas City sometime next week, but the day has not been decided upon as yet.
With no end in sight to the present rainy weather, Coach Mike Getto can do nothing else but send his men through a workout under the stadium. This is little better than no practice at all, and it can't be compared to the experience the Jayhawks would have received had they been able to play today's game.
Part of the Jayhawks' poor showing last Friday afternoon was due to youth and inexperience, but a great deal of the blame must be laid on their lack of opportunity to practice.
Iowa State defeated Kansas decisively, and yet yesterday the Cyclones lost to Kansas State by a score of 9 to 7. Last week, the Wildcats played four games with Oklahoma and Oklahoma A. and M., and undoubtedly this is one of the main reasons for their improvement.
K. State Beats Cyclones
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are scheduled to meet Kansas in a pair of games this weekend, but if the weather continues as it has in the past, the odds are against getting the series played.
Among stars of the Nebraska nine, who should be familiar to Kansas fans, are Sid Held, lanky basketball star, and Herman Rohrig, ace of the Cornhusker backfield last football season. Held pitches, while Rohrig plays in the outfield.
A meeting of the Home Economics Club executives was held at 4:30 this afternoon with Olga Hoesley, associate professor of home economics. Plans were discussed for a home economics banquet.
Home Economics Club Meets
Square Garden, on May 28. . . They have more run than anybody calling each other "a bum." Unless one of them begins to show a little real fighting ability, Joe Louis will show them both that they are bums. . . For me, I'll go against the regular trend of thought and pick the Livermore, Cal., playboy, Maxie Baer.
Jayhawkers and Aggies Renew Old Cinder Rivalry
Kansas and Kansas State renew their long-time rivalry on the cinder track Saturday, in the last track meet to be held here this spring.
The Jayhawks were victorious in their two dual meet appearances on the local field last spring, but are not very confident about Saturday's engagement. Last year Kansas, defeated Nebraska and Missouri in dual meets here.
The pole vault is another event where Kansas must score heavily in order to have any chance of winning the meet. Jack O'Hara, sophomore vaulted 12 feet 9 inches at the Kansas Relays and Bill Beven, a letterman, cleared the same height indoors.
Kansas State's strength is concentrated in the weight events and the distance runs. In the shot put, discuss throw, mile run and two-mile run, the Wildcats expect to amass a large number of points.
Leading scorer for the Jayhawks may be Darrell Mathes, junior sprinter, who is rated as the favorite in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Louis Akers, Kansas State's sprint star, has been on the shelf with a leg injury.
Elmer Hackney, of Kansas State, will lead the Wildcats in their bid for victory. The big weight star should win the shot put easily, with the main question being, whether or not he will set a new record here.
Comparison of Relays Records
Dick Peters is another heavy favorite and should have no difficulty winning the discus throw. Bill Vanderbilt of Kansas State, looks good for second place in both the shot put and discus throw.
In the two mile run, High, Clingman and Kelley stand a good chance of sweeping the event for the Wildcats. Ray Harris, Kansas captain and distance star, is still on the ailing list.

Rifle Teams Meet Tonight To Dceide Picnic Sponsor
The men's and women's rifle teams will compete in their annual match tonight at 7 o'clock on the rifle range in the basement of Fowler Shops. The losers of the match will treat the winners to a picnic at the State Lake at Tonganoxie.
Fifteen members on each side not in the contest. Out of the 30 targets fired, 20 of the best will be chosen and compared to decide the winner. Although the men have won for the last three years in succession, according to the captain of the men's team, Ted Raymond, c'40, they held a secret practice last night as further insurance against having to dig down in their pockets to treat the women.
The date of the picnic has not been announced yet.

Interesting excerpts from just one issue of your UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN!

Interest recently shown by the University students in the new University of Kansas song promised by baton-waver Fred Waring may be more than repaid if one is to accept the opinion of James H. Coleman, '38, now connected with Acme Newpictures in New York. Coleman's letter, written to Karl Klooz, University business office head, intimated that he had heard the new song rehearsed. His letter in part follows:
"Incidentally, I can't say anything specific right at this time, but I'm sure that if the students at the University are listening in Friday, May 3 when Fred Waring plays a new K.U. song, they are going to get quite a surprise."

Donald Dixon, assistant instructor of speech and dramatic art, issued a call late Saturday for men students desiring to appear in several scenes of the motion picture being made of campus life.
For a mob scene he will shoot, Prof. Allen Crafton needs about fifty students, whom he has asked to appear at two o'clock this afternoon in the Men's Lounge of the Memorial Union building.

Two important bills will have their final readings and be voted on tomorrow night at the regular meeting of the Men's Student Council, President C. H. Mullen announced yesterday.
A bill recommending that $550 be granted for the improvement of the intramural fields south of Robinson gymnasium and $250 to go toward the University dormitory project is one of the two important measures. It had its first reading at the last meeting and was given an okay by the Central committee on student activities at its meeting Monday.

Women—what do we say about them? Just this: with the faint odor of spring in the air, a girl's thoughts are turned to the figure reflected in her mirror. Does your reflection please you or are you too fat. It is difficult to be attractive if you are as crawny as a shrub on a rocky hillside, but if you are as large as the hillside, it is hopeless.
Washington, Pa., April 27.—(UP) —Jitterbugs weren't worth a dime a dozen here last night as 66 Washington and Jefferson College couples and their guests held their Seventh Annual Quadrille under the sponsorship of Henry Ford, the motor marmate.
It is generally agreed that men prefer women with wasplike waists and slender ankles.
To the music of a colonial orchestra supplied by Ford, Joe and Josephine College turned the calendar back 150 years and taffeta and satins took their places besides stocks and high collars as fashion highlights.

The New Yorker informed us jokingly that people were beginning to believe that Kansas was a place where geniuses almost hid the tall corn and Life printed an article "Art Books as Best Sellers" which used photographs of two art books as illustration one written by Thomas Craven from Salina and the other bearing as a cover design, a painting of Kansas by a Kansan. It was suddenly more profitable to be from Kansas than from New York's famed Greenwich Village colony as far as art prestige was concerned. Apparently the prophets had been a little timid.
Art experts ventured the prophecy some years ago, that the ultimate cradle of American creative expression would be located in the middle-west. Taken lightly at first, this surprising statement was given new force in the nineteen thirties, when a group of painters from the prairie states drew the national spotlight and were welcomed as proof that the thing had happened. Their painting and the stories of their lives caught the fancy of the country with such intensity that little was said about art which did not include them as subject matter and prime example.

It's a little difficult to tell just what is in store for this immediate young generation, but not hard to forecast what is at hand for that legion of short-pantied kiddie who tortune innocent audiences with their dancing 'school routines. These "ain't I cute?" tikes are going to be running back to their mommies one of these nights with tomato juice streaming down their cheeks crying "Waa! that bad man in the front row threw something at me."

Isolation Not Easy-of the Turkish republic and the recognition of women's rights until 90 per cent of the college is Turkish.
America should quit fooling itself. The sanity of September is needed in April. The British Lord Lothian must be balanced against the American Lindbergh, who saw his father sacrificed for the same cause to which the former American hero devotes himself. Which one has this country's interests at heart?
Unlike Lot's wife, the isolationist should look back now—not to be frozen into immobility, but in order to take stock of his position and to strengthen it against new onslaughts. He must keep the truths that were fundamental in September always before him and before the people.
A midwestern isolationist element proved a strong factor in curbing American war tendencies last autumn. Have the isolationists retreated or are their voices lost in the tumult? In September their position was fundamentally sound but not well organized or clarified. Winter war pressures have strengthened their opposition. The isolationists must act strongly, wisely, now, if they are to aid in maintaining peace in America.
Isolation is, primarily, the way of common sense, never the easy path for the individual or the nation to choose. It rests upon certain tenets, recognized but unused. The first of these is that no country wins a war. The second is that political ideologies change, and that war stimulates but does not halt that change. The third is that isolation for the United States does not mean economic strangulation or intense nationalism.
Isolation means the preservation of the democratic way for the United States in peaceful commerce with the non-warring western hemisphere. The isolationist must be prepared to sacrifice economic interests in the East in exchange for peace. He must face without prejudice any new political units that arise out of the European conflict. He must know that the price of peace is constant alertness.
Isolation is not the exciting way nor the emotional way. A future goal must be balanced against the expediency of the moment. No blare of trumpets heralds the way of peace, but until its difficult lesson has been learned, force and not reason will rule the policies of nations.
Ever since Hitler began his rise to power in Germany there have been two schools of thought regarding his actions. Those who screamed it's physically impossible and those who said don't be too sure nothing is impossible. So far Hitler has batted a thousand per cent for the Not-Impossibilitists by making the impossible possible. Now we hear rumors that he plans a land attack on England from the North. It may be true or it may be mere rumor, who knows? But if his past actions have any bearing on his future actions, it looks like the Lion may be in for a crew hair-cut.

Modern Man - Pooey!
Last week when Dr. Arthur H. Compton, Chicago cosmic ray expert, scaled the entire development of the human race to the life-time of a 50-year-old fictitious citizen, he failed to mention that on such scales the 17 to 21-year-old student weighs only to the hairless, red-faced, just-reached-baby-blanket mark.
Compton's survey is a hard-slicing ego hatchet. The eminent expert has cut a notch out of the nation's over-stuffed policy-wielders, and as a side issue, the Hill's understuffed notebook scribblers. His words were a kick in the backsides to those who forget that there was ever a great happening not initiated in the 20th century—or anykind of a happening before the birth of Christ.
But Dr. Compton has proved with his Invisible man of 50 that this century or any century is but a little drop in a great big bucket. Mr. Man was 40 when the Stone Age was in rompers but 10 years ago. Slightly backward i neducation, Man learned his ABC's at the Phoenician kindergarten 6 week ago. Two weeks later he had absorbed so much that he started a great period of art and science in Greece. During this time, he paid little attention to the Fall of Rome. A week ago Young Man got into the swing of things by starting modern science a-rollin' with the refutation of Aristotle when Galileo dropped cannon balls from Pisa tower.
Such a group of events measure sky high in comparison to the achievements of any one would-be big shot in this school, this country, or this era.
They Like Gable--- Turkish College Girls Drop Veils, Don Shorts
Istanbul—(UP)—From veils to shorts in 50 years is the record of the Turkish students at the American Girls College of Istanbul.
This month the college is celebrating its half century anniversary of turning out Americanized versions of Turkish young women. Although there were only two Turkish girls in the first graduating class the numbers have increased since the advent of the Turkish republic and the ___
The leading Turkish families are eager for their daughters to have American educations. But even though the students appear in brief white shorts and bare legs for gym classes—a far cry from the days when they had to be veiled for commencement—the Turkish government and national customs tend to lessen the Americanization process.
Even though "Gone With the Wind" is the favorite Turkish student's favorite reading matter and pictures of Clark Gable and Tyrone Power decorate her room, she does not entertain men at college proms. Textbooks Are Censored
There is no college chapel and all allusions to Christianity as well as any failings of the Turks from time immemorial must be deleted from the Turkish student's school books and from any books she may find in the college library. Despite the fact that she's studying in an American school, she must take her history, geography, sociology and Turkish literature in Turkish from Turkish teachers.
Although new vistas have been widely opened to women in the last two decades of Turkish history, the average student prefers marriage to a career. None looks
forward to a movie or stage career because that still "isn't the thing to do."
She chooses her own clothes but doesn't have an allowance. She likes sophisticated clothes rather than casual sports things; wears her hair in a long glamour girl bob, favors snoods and costume jewelry but doesn't collect anything except stamps.
Wears No Makeup
Although the Turkish collegian speaks good English and studies with many of the same books as her American counterpart, she does not wear makeup, doesn't like to eat between meals, has never heard of a "coke" or "jitterbug" and prefers tango to swing.
Boys aren't allowed to call at the college so the dean isn't bothered with the ever present problem of petting in parked cars because the average Turkish youth doesn't own one, there being but 5,000 in all Turkey.
In common with her American sisters, the Turkish girl likes to knit, wear hair-ribbons and tennis socks and read movie magazines. Her ideal man is something on the order of Clark Gable. But she mustn't be seen unchaperoned in public with a man who isn't either a fiancée or a relative, and a large majority of the marriages still are arranged.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
Elizabeth Barclay, Pi Phi's ever-conscious-of-the-fact new president, is developing a bad case of the jitters as graduation draws nigh. Reportedly engaged to a lad in the General Electric school in Pittsfield, Mass.; to a man from hometown Grinnell; and going steady with a medicine in Kansas City, Kan., she expects all three to meet here for graduation in June.
To further complicate things she has told the enamoured one of Pittsfield that she is going to a summer camp near there for the summer. He believes that she is coming there to be close to him. Little does he realize that the man from Grinnell is going to the same camp as a counselor.
Should be an interesting graduation when these three all show up to escort her to the various functions. And maybe a little note-comparing will add to the hilarity.
The hospital is said to be cooperating with the coming horseback trek to Kansas City. An advance guard has been sent out to cache liniment in convenient spots along the proposed trail. For balming purposes.
Exhausted after a strenuous evening at the Alpha Kappa Si party, Ed Wills draws to Kay Burner, "If you want to woo you'll have to take the initiative. I'm just as tired as I can be." We have no further report.

James Colt, the fifth, Sig Alph from Manhattan, has Becky Trembley typing all of his work for him. Reports he is going steady with the lovely lady. There seems to be little verification of this latter. And maybe it's worth her time to do a little typing if she can work him out of that car every once in a while.
Any resemblance to persons living or dead is unintentional and the management wishes to make clear that all of the characters are fictitious, but the main course at the Speech and Dramatic Arts banquet was ham.
Extend Dorm Limit to May 15
Students who plan to make Brynwood Place, Battenfeld hall, or the Chancellor's old residence, their "new home" next fall will have until May 1 instead of May 1, as first announced, to make application, Dean Olin D. Templin, secretary of the endowment association said today.
The date was extended since students desiring to make application had been given such short notice. Numerous applications and reference statements have been sent to the association office in the last few days. There are 75 applications for the 118 places in the three cooperative houses, Dean Templin said. Much of the remodeling on Brynwood Place has been completed including, decorating inside, restoring the library, rebuilding the kitchen, sanding the floors, painting the walls and rebuilding the roof. The outside of the house will be painted before it is opened for occupation in the fall.
Eight Doctors Address Medics
Eight members of the School of Medicine in Kansas City, Mo., were guest speakers at a meeting of the University of Kansas Medical Society last night in the Memorial Union building.

John G. Blocker, professor of accounting, has written a new cost accounting book which will be off the press May 1.
Three talks were given, the last one of which was on the correction of speech defects, was given by Martin F. Palmer, director of the Institute of Logopedics at the University of Wichita.

It is a textbook which discusses the fundamental problems of cost control and accounting as they apply to all types of business units.
This book was published by McGraw-Hill Book Co., of New York.

Farmer Wins---completed the second step toward final approval last night when the M. S.C. okayed both measures.
The Central Committee on Activities recently granted $550 to the housing board and $250 for leveling of the intramural football field. All appropriations of the Central Committee must be approved by both councils. The grants are final if passed by the W.S.G.A. tomorrow night.
A bill designed to put varsity dances on a non-profit basis was passed by the council. The bill, introduced by Brewster Powers, e'40, abolishes the dance manager position. All future varsities will be arranged by a dance committee composed of two representatives from each council and the chairman of the student union activities board.
It was said that the dance bill would attempt to reduce the varsity price in the spring to encourage attendance while interest is lower. The lower price was thought to be possible because of the reserve built up earlier in the year when the price is higher,

Art Designed----
tabel unless the picture interests us, then we should find out all we can about it. He also explained that art was designed for entertainment, and only incidentally as education.
"One of the things we need most in museums is natural behavior. There's no need to speak in a whisper, there's no body in the next room. There's no need to snatch off your hat. We appreciate it of course, it shows you are dignified people, but there is a very good reason for keeing your hat on."
The speaker then went on to explain that most galleries are top lighted, and therefore the hat helps you to see the pictures better. He explained that he didn't mean a lady's hat, but a regular man's hat.
Dr. Kelley explained the reason why we like only about 30 per cent of the pictures we see as follows, "Music, painting, literature, and drama are all the same thing. Someone wanted to express an idea. Seventy per cent of the pictures are bad because the artist has a New England conscience. He paints because he thinks it's about time he painted something. He doesn't know clearly what his idea is, and sometimes doesn't have an idea."
Other numbers on the program included the "Manx Overture" (Wood), by the University band; the first verse of "America," sung by the audience and led by Dean D. M. Swarthout; "Hunting Song" (Clokey) sung by the University Men's Glee Club, and group singing of the Alma Mater and the Rock Chalk closed the program.

The University Symphony Orchestra furnished the accompaniment. Soloists were Marie Wilkins and Meribah Moore, sopranos; Irene Peabody, alto; Joseph Wilkins, tenor; and Rudolph Voth, bass.
Outstanding was the duet of Miss Peabody and Mr. Wilkins and a ladies' trio, in which the three women soloists sang with nine selected voices from the chorus
