Duce May Strike
By Joe Alex Morris
(UP) Foreign News Editor
Great Britain and France took hasty precautions today against the threat that European war developments will become even more critical than the Allied reverses in Norway if Italy or the small neutral states climb on the Nazi band wagon.
Full extent of the German triumph on the central Norwegian front was still undisclosed. The Nazi troops and airplanes had blasted their way across the mountains to the key railroad line from Dombaas to Soeren; seized or circled Dombaas, Opdal and Stoeren; battered the Allied troops back toward the coast and linked up their communications system from Oslo to Trondheim.
Dombaas Front Fluctuates
But the Dombaa-Stoeren front was fluid, the French were last reported fighting at the town of Hjerkinn, some Allied troops were presumably still in the Stooen area and dispatches from the frontier reported that a sudden Norwegian counter-attack had re-taken the town of Roeros, in the Oester valley near Sweden where the Germans left only a small garrison.
The German air fleet continued its terrific bombardment of Allied landing bases along the Norwegian coast, reporting that a British anti-aircraft cruiser, a destroyer and five transports had been sunk off Namsos, north of Trondheim, and that six other ships had been badly damaged.

Evelyn Pleases 1,000 In Hoch Concert
Frank Gagnett
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
Displaying all the ability which earned her a featured role on last month's Town Hall program in New York City, Evelyn Swarthout, concert pianist, last night thrilled a crowd of 1,000 persons in Hoch auditorium.
Characters will be announced as soon as eligibility of the aspirating actors is assured. Each person taking a part must have made a "C" average for the last three semesters. This is to prevent the recurrence of a somewhat embarrassing incident
You Cur, Sir--tied in the other two acts. The leading characters will be the mother, father, the poor country daughter, and the son of the rich landlord—who is both hero and villain. The prevailing mood of the melodrama will be described as the plot thickens by the music of piano, drum, horn, and violin.

Miss Swarthout, who took the place of Paul Musikonsky, violinist, more than filled the spot. At the Fine Arts banquet which
Outstanding on the program were DeBussy's Etudes, which are rarely played because of their great difficulty. Her closing number, the "Fantasie Beatica" of the Spaniard de Falla, brought her three enquiries. In all her numbers she displayed the ability which earned her a fellowship with Matthay in London, and a recent engagement with the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra.
Athletes Try for Parts In the K-Club Melodrama
The play which boasts three murderers, one hanging, and two "fates worse than death" is based on the triumph of virtue in the third act over the evil which is
Fifteen athletes tried out last night for parts in the melodrami "Murder in the Old Red Barn," or "The Price She Paid" which is being sponsored by the K-Club, and directed by Rolla Nuckles, instructor of speech and dramatic art.
of last year whereby 12 of the 18 cast members were found to be ineligible the night before the opening of "The Drunkard." In order that the play open, it was necessary that it be termed an athletic event rather than a dramatic production.
Before tryouts last night Rolla Nuckles, director, read parts of the play in order that the nature of the characters would be better understood and thus better portrayed by those trying out.
The play will be presented the nights of May 13, 14, 15, and 16.
At the Fine Arts banquet which preceded the program 230 people were present. Chancellor Deane Malott made the main addresses. The program consisted of musical numbers by Puttyne Jane Wadley, c'42, Victor Miller, fa'41, and Bob Jenkins, fa'43. Before the Chancellor's talk, Dean D. M. Swarthout extended greetings to the group.
Kuraner to Discuss Kansas Artist Tomorrow
The second in a series of radio programs known as "Kansas Personalities," will be given over KFKU tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 when Irving Kuraner, c40, gives a sketch on John Stewart Curry.
The series is being given by the department of speech and dramatic art.
W.S.G.A. in Joint Meeting Tonight
Members of this year's and last year's W.S.G.A. councils will have dinner together at 6 o'clock tonight in the English room of Memorial Union building. Last night's regular meeting was postponed until tonight.
Velma Wilson, c'40, last year's president, and O'Theene Huff, c'41, president this year, will give reports on the National Convention of Intercollegiate Associations of Women held in Iowa City last week.
The group will hold its business meeting after the dinner.
The stage is all set for the appearance tomorrow of Frank Gannett, Rochester, N.Y. publisher and Republican candidate for the presidential nomination.
Young G.O.P.'s of the University have been working hard to make his appearance a success and the New York aspirant to the White House will fly in from Topeka at 11 o'clock in the morning. Gannett flew from Rochester to Topeka today to confer with Republican bigwigs before beginning his speaking tour in the Middle-west.
Expect 100 at Luncheon
At 12:30 tomorrow noon a hundred students are expected to be on hand at the Memorial Union building for the luncheon in honor of Gannett. He will make an informal talk at that time.

Celebration of 75 years of service by the University will take place during Commencement exercises in June, 1941, the 75th Anniversary committee decided at a meeting yesterday afternoon in Frank strong hall.
75th Anniversary In June, 1941
The committee voted to ask for an addition of seven members and the creation of a special operating committee to carry through the final celebration. The new members are to be appointed by Chancellor Deane W. Malot, with recommendation by by U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the 75th Anniversary committee.
Several celebrations emphasizing the anniversary have been held during the last two years, the most outstanding of which was a banquet held in November, 1938 at-

Midweek Tonight, One For Charity Billed Next Week
Clyde Bysom and his Jayhawkers will furnish swing for students attending the mid-week tonight, Leo Johnstone, manager of student union, said today.
The same time, 7 to 8 o'clock, the same stag limit, 200, and the same admission requirements, activity tickets for all and ten cents for stags, will be in effect. Johnstone reminded.
Diverting from the newly adopted policy of fewer mid-weeks, Leo also announced one for next Wednesday. The proceeds from this dance will go to the Far Eastern Student Service Fund. Both the services of the band and the use of the ballroom will be denoted th: evening.
Crooks Takes Music Week Spot Tonight
University students will be admitted by activity books.
Radio listeners who have been thrilled by the tenor voice of Richard Crooks on the Monday night N. B. C. Firestone Hour, will have an opportunity to see him in person at 8:20 tonight on the stage of Hoch auditorium.
The star of concert stage, opera, and radio is the top spot on this week's Music Week festival. He replaces Lawrence Tibbett who cancelled his contract a week ago because of illness. Crooks flew in to Kansas City this afternoon from the east coast. He will make the trip to Lawrence by automobile just before the concert and leave immediately afterwards.
Crooks, who has made more than fifty recordings and was recently found by a "radio poll" to be the most popular tenor on the air, will sing 13 numbers tonight. Besides his usual list of opera songs such as "Faust," "Tosca," "Madama Putterfly," and "Romeo et Juliette," the singer will sing Tschaikowsky's "None But The Lonely Heart." "Longing," and "Song of India," (Rimsky-Korsakoff)

May Day decided to pull a Lawrence Tibbett act today and stay South for another month, while March winds and white clouds haunted summer-starved students on Mt. Oread. The sounds of music have failed to reach many parts of the Campus yet, but tonight Hoch auditorium will house the biggest event of both Music Week and the mid-week social season, when Richard Crooks, radio tenor, presents his concert. Petition-signing students have failed to accomplish anything in the way of scheduling
mid-week dances weekly, so Campus socialites will be only spectators at tonight's activities.

Students To Honor Chaucer
A birthday party to celebrate the six-hundredth anniversary of Geoffrey Chaucer, author of Canterbury Tales and the father of English literature, will be held tomorrow afternoon from 4:30 to 3:30 o'clock in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building.
A program with old English songs and Chaucerian records will be played in the Music room. An exhibit of pictures loaned by the American Federation of Art in Washington, D.C., will be on display in the Kansas room. The pictures will illustrate life in the time of Chaucer and well-known characters from his works.
Graduate students in English. English majors, members of the English department, and students of English literature are invited.
Sunshine Changes To Rain; Parasol To Umbrella
With showers and sunshine taking turns on the weather docket comes the question of when is an umbrella a parasol, and vice versa? Happily, the question requires no answer. The new umbrellas are so gay that they could be carried on nice days, "worn" without a hat for instance. And they ought to make going out in spring rain a much less cheerless business than it usually is.
Consider a snappy new number of black-and-white check, with long crooked red handle and red tips. It's much too nice to save for rainy days. Checks, plaids, and prints in brilliant colors are predominant in the new umbrellas. A blue-and-white shado wheck umbrella has a blue crooked handle and tips. The plaids—in crimson, bottle green, and white crossed with yellow bars—to cite one of them—are bright enough to knock the gloom out of any gray day. In sunny weather they would be positively dazzling.
Books by Alumni Discuss Early Kansas History
The first two volumes of a social science studies series written and published by two University alumni. G.B.Gaeddert, and Charles Rogers, will be available to students within the next two weeks. Prof. Seba Eldridge announced today.
Gaeddert's study deals with the early history of Kansas and is called "The Birth of Kansas." He is now connected with the state historical association. Rogers is now associate professor of sociology at the University of Puerto Rico and his book deals with a sociological study of the Puerto Rican government.
Both Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic honor society in Liberal Arts, and Sigma Xi, national honorary society for the encouragement of research, will celebrate in the spring of 1940 the 50th anniversary of their establishment at K.U. Each society was the first chapter established in an educational institution west of the Mississippi river.

Fraternity Song To Be Revived
Fraternities will revive a yearly University tradition Sunday afternoon when they compete in the sixth annual inter-fraternity sing in Hoch auditorium for the award of Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music fraternity.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, who has been master of ceremonies for the past four years, will direct again this year. He will announce the competing glee clubs and the results. Victors will receive a bronze plaque.
The contest has been won for the last five years by the glee club of Phi Delta Theta, whose director last spring was Jack Laffer, '39, president of the 1933-'39 University Men's Glee Club. Sigma Nu won second place last year, and Delta Tau Delta and Delta Upsilon tied for third. Eleven fraternities entered.
There is a possibility that the new University song Fred Waring will play on his NBC program Friday night will be sung Sunday by some of the fraternities competing in the songfest. Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, has announced that a prize may also be awarded the glee club which gives the best rendition of the song. As yet there have been no volunteers for the task.
Vernon Landon, fa'40, will be chairman of the "sing" this year. He will present the award to the winning club.
The contest is still open for entries, which close Saturday. Information concerning the rules and entry fee can be obtained at the School of Fine Arts office.
The University Women's Club will hold a tea tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Men's Lounge of the Memorial Union building. Following the tea an important business meeting will be held.
13 Men Initiated By Tau Sigma
Thirteen men achieved one of the highest honors of the engineering school when they were initiated into Sigma Tau, national honorary engineering fraternity, last night in the Pine room. Following initiation services, Dean Ivan C. Crawford spoke at a banquet in the English room.
Those initiated were: David Arnsbreger, Herman Barkmann, Robert Brockett, Walter Crook, Charles Carey, Bill Douce, Robert Haynes, James Hughes, Billy Lash, Levi Orr, Robert Paulette, Rex Sage, and Ray Stanclift. All are juniors in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Students Married Last September
Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Forter, Council Grove, announce the marriage of their daughter, Marylouise, fs. to Ralph Richardson, c'40, Parsons, in Kansas City on September 30, 1939. The couple will make their home in Lawrence until the close of school.

Engineers Ready to Vote
The stage is almost set for the Engineering Council's annual election, George Rippey, e'40, now president, announced today.
The present Council is the first in five years to keep completely out of the red, Rippey reported. This council, in selecting candidates to fill their positions when they leave their offices at the close of school this year, nominates two candidates for the three executive positions, while the class and departmental representatives were nominated in a convocation held Monday.
Rippey said the new council will face a real task if it is to maintain the record of its predecessor.
Some of the candidates were named by petitions and other petitions naming additional candidates are still circulating, Rippey said. These petitions must be turned in to the Council by Friday, he added. The date of the election is May 9.
The Engineering Council is the student governing body of the School of Engineering and Architecture and works in conjunction with a faculty committee. This Council chooses the senior insignia, sponsors a freshman mixer each fall, directs the engineering book exchange, gives an engineering banquet and sponsors the Hobnail Hop, while on alternate years it supervises the Engineering Exposition, as it did this year.
Home Conference Set for May 3,4
Interior decorating, gardening, and home finance will be discussed in the Home Interest conference to be held Friday and Saturday. The convention is being sponsored by the departments of home economics, the department of design, and the extension division.
An illustrated lecture on "Old Glassware as a Profitable Hobby" given by Mrs. W. D. Beven, chairman of the committee on American homes of the Federated clubs, will be one of the high points of the conference. This talk will be followed by supervised tours of Spooner-Thayer museum and the department of design.
Trips to Lawrence gardens and homes will supplement a lecture given by Donald Durell, professor of botany, on "Landscaping the Home Grounds." Particular emphasis will be put on garden design.
The session will close with a tea for visitors at 4:00 p.m. Saturday in Spooner-Thayer museum.
Support Comes From State
The University of Kansas receives virtually no support from the Federal Government. The entire support of the R.O.T.C. is paid by the Government, and $1,000 of the cost of the home economics department comes from Federal funds. All other funds come either from state legislative appropriations, students fees, or earning of auxiliary departments.
WEATHER
Clear skies and rising temperatures are forecast for eastern Kansas tomorrow. Maximum temperature for tomorrow will be 79. The cold wave is moving away from eastern Kansas.

Diamond Team Retreats
Diamond Getto's Club Adjourns To Memorial Stadium
It was the same old story this afternoon as Mike Getto and the Kansas baseball team retreated once more into the gloomy recesses of Memorial Stadium, while a wintry wind howled over the varity diamond and pools of water punctuated the base paths.
"The infield's too wet for defensive work," Getto moaned this morning, "but I thought we could at least have a batting practice
and hit a few flies to the outfielders until I drove past the diamond this morning."
The grass in the outfield is so slippery and the ground is so muddy underfoot, that an outfielder would not have a chance if he ever started to slide, so it's back to the stadium for a duplication of yesterday's practice.
Pitchers Better In Hot Weather
Getto is praying for some old-fashioned, hot Kansas weather this week, when end the Jayhawks face the Nebraska Comhuskers in a two day series. All the Kansas pitchers would round into form more quickly if they could just work a few innings under a boiling sun. "Red" Dugan and Burge are notably hot weather pitchers, and Knute Kresie and Henry-Horak wouldn't object to hurling in 80 or 90 degree temperatures either.
Kresie will probably pitch the opener against Nebraska Friday, with Horak the likely choice for Saturday. Kresie was to be Getto's ace in the hole against Iowa State in the second Iowa State game which was postponed last weekend. Horak relieved John Burge in the second inning of the first game, retiring eight men on strikes and bestowing walks on eight others.
Rockhurst Tilt Next Week
Although no date has been set for the playing of yesterday's postponed game with Rockhurst, Geto hopes to arrange for it to be held next Monday or Tuesday. The experience the Jayhawks gain from this actual competition should stand them in good stead. At least, it had better do so, because their opponents a week from this Friday and Saturday, are the league leading Oklahoma Sooners, who have been selected by many authorities to finish on top of the Big Six standings this year.
Coed Cue Meet to Third Round
Five girls are now ready for the third round in the Co-ed Cue tournament sponsored by the Memorial Union activities committee. Those eligible are Betty Jone, c'43; Jean Miller, c'41; Jane Knudson, fa'41; Nellie Hopkins, c'43; Harriet Goodwin, c'40.
All third round results must be turned in at the hostess desk by Thursday.
In the table tennis tournament, results for the third and fourth rounds must be in by Saturday.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Rain, Rain, Rain . . . . How can spring sports survive if we continue to have such bad weather as we are trying to endure now. Our baseball game with Rockhurst was washed out yesterday, and our golf and tennis matches with Washburn in Topeka will probably be rained out too.
Last chance to see the Kansas track team in action on our own, will be this Saturday, unless it rains, when we meet the Kansas State Wildcats in a dual meet. The Staters barely nosed out the Jayhawkers in the indoor dual meet between the two schools. . . . The result of the meet rested on the result of the relay, in which Kansas finished second best. Since Ray Harris will not be in condition to run mile or two-mile races for the K.U. boys, we will drop a few points in those events that we earned before.
In the pole vault, Bill Beven and Jack O'Hara will probably be battling it out for first place between themselves, because the Wildcats have no strength in the vaults event. Jack was the winner in the indoor meet against the Purple visitors.
Another good man gone pro: i Kay Eakin, Arkansas Razorback football ace and passing star, who has recently signed up to play baseball with the Fort Smith, Ark. Giants professional club to finish this season. . . The passing ace started the season with the Arkansas Dukes, which is not sponsored by the University, but a University coach is in charge of the Dukes diamond team.
The biggest baseball news in the last five years, is the sensational play of the Brooklyn Dodgers this spring. . . . . The Dodgers, known in Brooklyn as the Superbas and elsewhere as the Doffiness Boys in the past years, have the fans in an uproar. . . . Year in and year out, the most colorful team in baseball and the "peoples choice," Brooklyn has come up with a smooth working team this season, which has won its first nine games in succession. . . . To top it off, old "Tex" Carleton pitched a no-hit, no run game for the Dodgers yesterday against last year's champions, the Cincinnati Reds . . . In the preceding game, Fat Freddy Fitzsimons pitched a shut-out for Brooklyn. . At last manager Leo Durocher, has welded a combination of old-timers and youngsters together that can and are really playing baseball.
Elbel Appointed To Coordinate Health Research
The need of research, in the field of teaching methods, was emphasized at the annual convention of the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation held in Chicago April 24-27. Dr. E R. Elbel was appointed to the committee for the coming year to aid and coordinate research in physical education in Kansas.
Six Kansas University delegates were among the 3000 registered. They were Miss Ruth Hoover, Asst. Prof. Phys. Educ.; Miss Joie Stapleton, Asst. Prof. Phys. Educ.; Mr. E. B. D greot, Instr. Phys. Educ.; Mr. Herbert Allphin, Instr. Phys. Educ.; Mr. James Raport, Instr. Phys. Educ.; and Gene Billows, ed'40.
Mr. James Raport was invited to visit gymnasium plants of Chicago, Outstanding among the meetings and discussion groups were those concerning research and school planning. Mr. Herbert Alphin attended the Red Cross meetings.
Dances were held every night from 10:30 until 1 a.m. in the main ballroom of the Stevens Hotel, headquarters of the convention.
Last year's committee on research were: Dr. McCloy of the University of Iowa, Dr. Graybeal of Minnesota State Teachers' College, Mr. Clapp of Greeley, Colorado, Dr. Allen Carpenter of Kansas City, Mo., and Mr. James Raport.
Women's Intramurals
By CECIL KING
"Women's intramural baseball games will be played as soon as it stops raining," Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, said today.
Third round badminton scores are due Friday.
Matches in tennis doubles, golf and archery should be played off as soon as the weather permits.
Eighty-five per cent of the students use the dispensary or hospital facilities of the Student Health Service. Each student using the service made an average of 9 calls at the dispensary. This amounted to a total of 34,821 calls by the entire student body.
Use Health Service During Year
Kansas State will offer a left-footed punting threat next fall in Bill Quick, a lanky sophomore from Beloit. Quick has been working at the tailback spot and may develop into a passer and a dangerous ball carrier.
Dr. "Phog" Allen has put his famous Kansas basketball team back on the court for spring practice, minus Dick Harp, Don Ebling, Jack Sands, and Bruce Voran. Otherwise, Kansas will have the same team back next year, that went so far this year in the national tournament.

Dr. Allen To Show Baseball Picture
Is Joe Medwick's end grip favored by all long distance hitters? Members of Dr. "Phog" Allen's 10:30 baseball class will find out Thursday.
A National League sound movie of team and individual play that "will entertain, and enlighten every coach, player, and fan" will be shown, Dr. Allen announces. Some of the features of the film will be battery strategy, footwork on double plays, fundamentals of hitting, and base-running tactics.
Questions to be answered are:
"Why is Paul Derringer's curve ball so effective? Does Gabby Hartnett give the same target to all pitchers?
What shifting tactics by Dolph Camilli mean out instead of safe? What advantage is there in the bent leg slide Arky Vaughan employs? How do mouth signals help Tony Cuccinello's team with his short stop?
When does Merrill May play bunts with one hand? Why can Joe Moore throw better after circling a fly ball?"
Anyone interested in seeing the film is invited to attend. The film will be shown in room 206 of Robinson gymnasium.
Four Golfers To Play Game At Washburn
A team of four golfers and four tennis players left Lawrence at noon today, to match clubs and rackets with the players from Washburn College at Topeka. The teams were accompanied by Coaches William Shannon and "Dutch" Uhrlaub.
Representing the Jayhawkers in golf will be Dean Ritchie, Rod Wakeland, Bill McElhenny, Bill Gray, and Bob LaGree. Ritchie will start at numer 1 position for Kansas, and Wakeland at number 2, but Coach Shannon is still undecided as to who will play at 3 and 4 positions against the Ichabods. LaGree has been touring the Lawrence Country Club course around 80 every day, and it was believed that the golf mentor would star Bob at the number 4 place.
Gray and McElhenny are shooting about the same kind of golf. McElhenny is hot in practice, but he can't ever seem to find the cup in match play, while Gray shoots consistently around 80 in both practice and match play.
Howard Engleman, Kermit Franks,
and Conrad Voelker will bear the brunt of the tennis competition, that the Ichabods will turn loose upon the Jayhawker net team. Engleman is number 1 man on Uhrlaub's team, while Franks and Voelker play the number 2 and 4 positions.
On Thursday, Kansas State will invade Jayhawker land, to meet the K.U. men on the links and courts. By that time, Coach Shannon should be decided upon which four men will represent Kansas in golf throughout the rest of the season.
Strong in Athletics
Athletics and physical education take a healthy place in the program of interests at the University, Kansas won the Big Six championship in 1930, tied for second the standings in 1932, was third in 1935 and 1937, and has had a fighting team in the field every year. In basketball the K.U. team has been champion of its conference seven times in the past 10 years. In track the Jayhawkers consistently have had great stars such as Bausch and Cunningham.

Faculty Members To Be Honored By Delta Sigma Pi
Two members of the faculty of the School of Business will be initiated into Delta Sigma Pi, honorary business fraternity, tonight. Max Fessler and Clark Meyers, associate instructors of economics, will be honored in a ceremony to be held at 7 pm. at the Delta Chi house.
Eleven persons, selected from the highest one-fourth of the senior class in music, graduate students and faculty, have been elected Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary musical society, it was announced today.
Those senior students elected include: Jack Dalby, fa'40; Ethelyn Burns, fa'40; Helen Goode, fa'40; Gwen Marie Hunt, fa'40; Eva Ruth Meinke, fa'40; Paul Stoner, fa'40; and Marjorie Alice Ward, fa'40.
The initiation will be the second for the organization this year. Clarence Neal, b'40, headmaster of the chapter will be in charge of services.
Membership in the organization is based upon high scholastic rank, excellence in public performance composition, and musical leadership.
Pi Kappa Lambda Elects Eleven
Graduates are: Robert L. Briggs, Joseph Burns, James Flory, Ethel Ruppenthal, all of whom have received a masters degree in music from the University. A former faculty member, Roy Underwood, was also elected.
Rifle Women To Give Picnic for Men Shooters; Two 100's
The women's rifle team lost the annual match to the men's team last night, on the rifle range in the basement of Fowler Shops, and will have to treat the men to a picnic again this year, it was announced by Maj. Raymond Edwards this morning.
Buildings costing approximately two millions of dollars have come to the University as gifts. These include, at Lawrence, the Spooner-Thayer art building, Fowler Shops, Oread Training School, Memorial Union Building, Watkins and Miller Halls, Watkins Hospital, the Hospital Nurses Home, two Chancellor's residences, the Home Economics Practice House, a part of the Stadium.
The score was 972 to 955. The two highest scores were made by Robert Smith, b'40, and Robert Price, c'41, who each scored 100. On the girl's team, both Dorothy Durand, c'42, and Louise Bush, c'40, fired a score of 97, which was their highest score. All shots were fired from the prone position.
The match is usually fired by 15 members of each team, then the 10 highest scores are picked from each side and compared to decide the final score. Last night, however, only 12 girls were present to fire against 17 boys.
The date of the picnic has not been announced.
Much Has Been Gifts
At Kansas City there are the old Bell Hospital, the Hixon Research Laboratory, the Children's Pavilion and the Clinic Building.
Dodgers 'Do It Again' To Challenge Ball Fans
New York, May 1.—(UP)—The baseball world—Brooklyn excepted —was upside-down today.
In Brooklyn, wild-eyed fans gathered in the bars, stood on street corners, and poked their heads out of windows, asking in a challenging voice: "Do you think we'll ever lose one?"
They referred to their beloved Brooklyn Dodgers, who have just reeled off nine straight victories to tie the modern getaway record made by the Giants in 1918. And they tied it with a no-hit, no-run game hurled by a pitcher who was ditched by the Cubs as washed-up, a has-been-Tex "Strongheart" Carleton.
Outside the Brooklyn orbit, strange things were happening, but these were mere trifles. What matters if the Yanks were floundering in sixth place after being held to two hips by an unknown crooked arm pitcher named Emil Bildill. . . If Red Ruffing, Yankee ace of aces, was licked by the lowly Browns for his second defeat in three starts. . . If Tommy Bridges, winner of two straight, was slugged like a bush leaguer by the Senators. . . If the Indians were going like a house fire. . . If the staggering White Sox skipped the Red Sox down.
Brooklyn was the whole show. Pennantless for 20 years the Dodgers went west with an eight-game streak and high hopes. But the wise guys said, "who have they licked?" Now everyone is sitting up and taking notice after that 3-0 triumph over the champion Reds yesterday in Cincinnati.
Carleton, the swarthy, knock-kneed Texan back from baseball's scrapheap, made the Reds do his bidding. Pete Coscarart, the Dodgers' bounding basque of a second
baseman, did the rest. He cracked a homer off Jim Turner after the milkman had walked two men in the fifth.
The Dodgers went back at the Reds again today with Hugh Casey striving to break the modern record for winning streaks at the season's beginning. He faced Bucky Walters, the national league's champion pitcher, who has won his first two starts.
In the other two national league games Hugh Mulcahy pitched the Philies to a 6-2 victory over the Pirates and the Cubs struggled from behind to beat the Bees, 8-7, in 10 innings. Al Todd's Homer was the winning punch after some lusty clouting by Hank Leiber, who drove in four runs with a homer, triple and single.
Cleveland won back the American league lead by defeating the Athletics, 10-5. Hal Trosky and Ken Keltner each hit two homers while Willis Hudlin survived in spite of 12 hits.
Emil Bildilli, up from San Antonio, squelched the Yanks as the Browns triumphed, 2-1, in the battle for fifth place. After Crossetti had tripled and Rolfe had singled in the first, Bildilli held the Yanks hitless the rest of the way, including the feat of retiring the last 19 men to face him in order. Red Ruffing was the loser.
The White Sox shelled Emerson Dickman to cover and beat the Red Sox, 9-4, behind Dungan Rigney's 6-hit pitching. Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 4. Washington slammed out 13 hits to beat Detroit, 9-4, and knock out Bridges in the bargain.
Kansas Art By Matter On Display At Thayer
Workmen completed the razing of the elaborate four-way stairway leading to the first floor entrance last week. The remainder of the entrance will serve as a balcony from the first floor rotunda. New plans call for railings and remodeling of the balcony. The only entrance into the building will be constructed at the basement level.
Kansas scenes predominate in the 22 piece exhibition of water colors and oil by Karl Mattern, assistant professor of drawing and painting. These are now on display in Thayer museum of art.
Construction of a new entrance for the north side of Frank Strong hall will proceed as soon as architect's plans are completed for remodeling the balcony, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, announced today.
Portraits of two University students, Lucille Kadel, fa'43, and Marjorie Heimbrook, fa'41, and "Parthenon of Kansas" are the only three of the seven oils that show figures. Most of the others are scenes of Kansas. One of the group, "Neons," is a Lawrence scene at the corner of Seventh and Massachusetts looking westward. "Twilight" is possibly the most noticeable of the oils because of the wide expanse of deep blue sky.
New Entrance Must Await Plans Of Architects
Two scenes of the Kaw, in winter and fall, are to be found in the water color group. The Lecompton station, a Kansas farmyard, and a winter scene viewed from Professor Mattern's window are also on display.
According to Miss Minnie Moodie, curator of the museum, this is a particularly colorful exhibition.
Two of Professor Mattern's water colors are on display in the Brooklyn museum which purchased them last year.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is an extract from Paul De Kruff's Public Affairs Pamphlet "Toward a Healthy America."
Paul De Kruif Says-
Seventy thousand of our people are still dying every year from tuberculosis. But out of 130 millions that is not so many, you say! You point out the gratifying decline during the past generation in TB's death rate. Yet, as a murderer of Americans between the ages of 15 and 45, the TB germ is surpassed only by accidents. But you say that tuberculosis has dropped to seventh place in the race of America's champion killers. Yet, for every one of the 70,000 dying, five others are actively sick with consumption—totaling 420,000. Then there are unknown hundreds of thousands whose consumption has been "arrested"—but who can't do a man's work, who must live under wraps, not as vigorous citizens.
Labor on the Warpath
With John L. Lewis intimating decisions for a Lewis party innovation, with crypt-hidden facts of the Dallas Ford case zooming into the New Republic spotlight, the country, for a moment, has switched eyes from war news to national events. The object of recent gazing is November-election's closest rival, labor with its unions and its problems.
☆ ☆ ★
Problem No. 1 is the big club of violence. Rough play thwarts the working ideal. It comes primarily from a mistaken public policy. According to the Institute of Public Opinion, violence is the only outcome when the public reaches for three entirely different moons simultaneously: trades and labor unions, the open shop, and observation of law in labor disputes.
H. R. Knickerbocker is screaming for intervention on the Allied side. Thank heavens he's screaming here and not writing dispatches from Europe. He'd have us fighting the "baby-butchering Huns" in no time.
★ ★ ★
Since the arrow trend points toward membership, the worker must join and pay the price. Membership is always costly. Initiation fees, monthly dues, special assessments, car fare to meetings, depreciation on the pig banks during strike-time all these must be wedged among food and rent, clothing and knick knacks in the family budget.
★ ★ ★
The problem then to be handled by this awakening interest is to get all opinion on one side of the fence. The group thumb must be placed either on or off the vague sanction of collective bargaining. The uncertainty between the nation's vacillating belief in the collectivist right to strike and the individualist right to work must be decided permanently if there's to be any solving of labor's problems, now or ever.
Thus "peaceful inducement" is a void in appeal to picket-line possibilities. Picketing is almost necessarily coercive. Few men will leave their jobs and their Saturday night pay checks for the good of a cause not sure of successful culmination. No such thing as peaceful picketing can be more than chaste vulgarity, peaceful mobbing, or lawful lynching can be.
What's this about an investigation to find out why "Sing 'n Swing" kicked up its toes at
the box-office? From what we can gather the show flopped because the demand for tickets didn't meet the supply. That's always fatal. Of course there's always contributing causes for any show's failure; bow-legged usherettes, no chinaware or cash nights, cast doesn't have enough friends, tickets weren't free, and the show itself was on the odoriferous side. These didn't have anything to do with "Sing'n Swing" laying its egg in the W.S.G.A. lap, but they might do to investigate,

The calendar says May, but the chilly breezes make one agree with the Kansas farmer who said: "Looks like it is going to be winter all summer."
By Marilyn McBride

In protest to that inane and perpetual question, "How are you?" Roscoe Born has just completed a 27-page report on his condition. Inquiers who yell, "how-are-you?" are given a combined psychiatrist's, physician's, and auditor's report on Roscoe's condition. The volume includes:
1. Varying speed of pulse beat.
2. Extent of frustration.
3. Facility of early morning rising
4. Amount of electricity in hair.
5. Number of copy pages in wastebasket for the current week.
6. Estimated droop of eye-lids and sub-eye bags.
7. Standpoint on moral deliquency.
8. How badly subject needs a shave.
9. Opinion of Ghandi's sex life.
10. Reaction of subject when viewing an Ann Sheridan movie.
And then there was the co-ed who tired of walking and sighed for a new beau. A man with a car at K.U. is definitely an asset on wheels.

An article in the Kansas City Star tells how FBI agents discovered twelve WPA nightwatchmen asleep on the job. This appears one of the easiest bits of detection the "Hoover-
men" have ever made. The twelve sleepers were allowed to get their forty winks, then promptly fired. Found By Investigators, Workless Payless Afterward (that is Bill Koester's brainchild).
Said Clarence Streit, author of "Union Now"; "In Italy, billboards bearing the slogan MUSSOLINI IS ALWAYS RIGHT appear everywhere, and under this statement is the signature, Mussolini!"
★
Since the invasion of Norway a new phrase has become increasingly used, even replacing "third term" as the most frequently repeated words. Fifth Column is more than the title of Earnest Heminway's newest play; it is a significant and sinister term in a warring world. Original usage: during the Spanish civil war, Franco attacked Madrid with four columns outside the city, while the underground fifth column within the city walls hastened the rebel victory. Now correspondents are applying the term freely to designate the treacherous elements within a country which seek to open the gates to the enemy.
The strategy of the Trojan horse and the indispensable fifth column have become the by-words of modern farfare. And victory seems the pawn of the unscrupulous side. Efficiency in espionage, ability to captive treason in enemy ranks, and a propaganda machine. . . . . that is the 1940 technique of conquest.
Werner Selects 75 Freshman Counselors
Seventy-five outstanding upper-classmen have been selected to serve as Freshman Counselors for next year, Henry M. Werner, men's student adviser announced today. The entire bodies of the Owl Society and the Sachem, along with two appointees from each fraternity not already represented, comprise the selections.
The counsellors will each correspond with about eight freshmen when the University receives their transcripts, and will meet with them on the Friday before registration. They will be coached and prepared to give advice on all University matters except those pertaining to scholastic problems and the curriculum.
Ticket Sale Underway For 'Bowl of Rice' Dinner
Ticket sales for the "bowl of rice" supper to be held May 7 in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building is underway. Plans are being made to serve 500 at the dinner, according to John J. O. Moore, who is in charge of the University drive.
Booths at which tickets may be purchased will be placed in Fraser hall, Frank Strong hall, and the Library on Monday, May 6.
Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, and the freshman commission of the Y.M.C.A. are contacting faculty men; the freshman commission of the Y.W.C.A. is contacting faculty women; and individual workers are selling tickets to organized houses. Lawrence townspeople are being invited through service clubs of Lawrence.
One feature of the dinner will be the decoration of the tables with small life-like replicas representing persons of different countries. These are the property of Fred Montgomery, secretary of the bureau of visual education and are part of the bureau of education display.
The Far Eastern Student Service Fund has as its purpose the raising of a $35,000 fund by American students to insure trained leadership for Chinese youth.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
Though it's common knowledge the A.T.O.'s are to build a house within rifle shot of the campus, it isn't very well known that the old house is to be used as an old ladies' home.
Tis nice to realize that the old tradition-ridden barn won't lose any of the zip and pepper of formed days.
And a merchant downtown said he understood that the Sigma Chi house is one of those six being offered for sale in local papers. We're told that this is not true. But rumors do get started, don't they?
A look through the blue prints for the new self-supporting, self-managed boys' dormitory reveals three recreation rooms, a maid's room, and two sun decks.
It has been called to our attention that the list of people registering from Kansas towns who have never seen said towns is becoming appallingly long.
For instance, if any discerning person were to flip through the directory they would find far more students registered from Lawrence than the old-line Lawrence students ever heard of.
And if the out-state fee duckers, technically from all over the state, were forced to pay their fees there wouldn't have to be a 15 cent raise in activity books. Not this year at least.
Not a few Hill big-wigs would look awfully silly if caught cheating the dear old Alma Mater for four years.
Law students at the farewell Phi Delta Phi banquet learned last night later seven years of college that if you cover up the holes in the pump you can get ten more glasses from an apparently empty keg.
At K-Club tryouts in Green hall last night a few local dogs insisted on attending the doin's, even though they were thrown out several times. It looks like the Hill's next show is going to the dogs before it even gets started.

Trillions of Red Cells In Blood, Says Dr. Haden
Dr. Russell L. Haden, director of medicine of the Cleveland clinic, thus described the red blood cells of man to a capacity audience in Fraser theater this morning.
"An endless belt carrying life-giving oxygen to your body.
Twenty-five trillion red blood cells are contained in the five quarts of blood in the normal human being, the Cleveland doctor asserted. These cells comprise a huge organ, the largest in the
human body. This organ is nearly twice as large, in weight, as the liver.
Thirty days is the usual length of life for each cell, Doctor Haden said, and for this reason 1,000,000 new cells are regenerated every minute. With its birth the cell climbs on the merry-go-round of the circulatory system and makes at least 60,000 trips through the body each day carrying its cargo of oxygen.
Although red blood cells are visible only under a microscope, Doctor Haden remarked that it is now possible to measure the diameter, thickness, and volume of each red blood cell.
Doctor Haden spoke last night and will speak again tonight at the Children's Pavilion of the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City. All of his lectures are sponsored by the Porter foundation established in 1918 by Dr. J. L. Porter of Paola.
Luncheon—
(Continued from page one) Young Republicans on the Hill, announced today that 75 reservations had already been made. Others may make reservations by calling Wilbur Leonard. The noon meeting will be over in time for 1:30 classes. Greta Gibson, fa'41, state vice chairman of the young Republican organization, will act as toastmaster at the luncheon.
The highlight of the Gannet appearance will be the meeting at 8:15 tomorrow night at the Varsity theater. His speech of the day will not be until 9:30 when he addresses the crowd at the Varsity and the radio audience of NBC's Red network.
Alf Landon, former governor of Kansas, will be on hand during the day's activities and introduce the visiting speaker at the night meeting.
At 6:15 tomorrow night there will be a banquet at the Eldridge hotel when 150 persons will gather to dine with and listen to Gannett. Carl Friend, lieutenant governor, will introduce the speaker at the banquet.

The German High Command said that its forces continued to advance on the central Norwegian front, but no definite positions were given and the possibility of an Allied counterattack in an effort to regain a hold on the communications system seized by the Nazis remained a hold on the communications system seized by the Nazis remained obscure. In London, there was speculation on whether the Allied forces would find it necessary to give up their foot-hold on the Norwegian coast south of Trondheim as a result of the German triumph.
Despite the details of the German advance yet to be cleared up, the victory which Adolf Hitler said had definitely ended Allied hopes of striking at Germany from the North was of great important in the general outlook for the war in Europe.

Summer School Opens June 12, Closes Aug.7
The thirty-eighth summer session of the University will open June 12 and will close August 7, Dean R. A. Schwegler, director of the summer session, announced today.
With little breathing space between commencement exercises and registration, students will enroll in courses which will be offered on the same basis as the regular term.
The staff is selected from the regular resident professors. If the demand is too great, instructors are brought in from other institutions. They are chosen for their ability in some field.
Classes in the summer session begin at 7:30 a.m. and continue to 12:20 p.m. No regular classes are held in the afternoon, which is reserved for seminars and other informal discussion groups. Students are allowed to take only eight credit hours unless special permission is obtained from the director.
An extracurricular program is maintained for the students. They are urged to participate in the outdoor sports which have been arranged. Students are given the opportunity to purchase tickets for the Jayhawk pool at a reduced price.
The greatest enrollment is in the Graduate School and the School of Education. A greater per cent of the student body is made up of teachers who have returned to complete their work.
The summer session lasts for eight weeks except for the Schools of Medicine and Law which last for 10 weeks.
Prizes Arranged For Parent's Day
The parents who travel the greatest distance to attend the Parents' Day activities and banquet Saturday will be awarded a special prize, it was announced today by Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, chairman of the arrangements committee.
There will also be prizes for the attending parents having the largest number of children in the University. Honorable mention will be awarded to the organized house having the largest per cent of parents present at the banquet, and to the county workers having the largest number from their county in attendance.
Tickets for the banquet which will be at 6:30 p.m. Saturday are being sold at the business office. Charles McWright said that early ticket sales for the dinner, at which Chancellor Deane Malott will be the speaker, indicate that attendance will exceed the 358 of last year. Tickets will be on sale until 5 o'clock Friday evening. McWright said.
Registration will take place in the Union building lobby all day Saturday. Here registering parents will receive identification badges saying "K.U. Parents," in red and blue letters.
This year the 'Conference on Home Interests', under the joint sponsorship of the department of home economics, the department of design, and the extension division, is being
held prior to Parents' Day in order that visitors may attend both meetings.
The convention, which begins Friday will feature talks through Saturday morning and a tour of beautiful Lawrence homes and gardens Saturday afternoon.
Among the conference speakers will be: Chancellor Malott, John Ise, Donald Durell, and Miss Rosemary Ketcham.
Sociology Club Has Election And Picnic at Eldridge Home
Members of the Sociology club took time to elect officers for the coming year last night before settling down to an evening of entertainment at their annual picnic held at the home of Prof. Seba Eldridge. The new officers are: Evannah Larson, c'41, president; Wanda Jo Reade, c'41, treasurer; and William Gilstrap, gr, program chairman. In
addition to the election of officers,

Students Are Planning For Summer School
More than 1,000 students will encamp about Mount Oread this summer for eight weeks of sports, fun, frolic, and the incidental studies.
March winds still whistle through May blossoms, but the calendar "ain't liein'" and June is up the next block. Landladies are already pointing out the advantages of warm running water all day long, sunny southern exposures, a shower in the basement, and that cool sleeping porch.
Soon the pool will open, wash pants will bloom, and shorts will be shorter.
May birds are winging, doorbells are ringing, blue skies are bringing summer school nearer.

Coulson and Woodward New Jayhawker Heads
Betty Coulson, e'41, will be the first girl to edit the Jayhawker magazine in nearly 20 years.
Miss Coulson and Bob Woodward, c'42, were named editor and business manager of the Jayhawker magazine for 1940-41 yesterday afternoon by the Jayhawker Advisory committee, according to L. N. Flint, professor of journalism and chairman of the committee.
Woodward was freshman office assistant on the Jayhawker last year, and this year has been business assistant.
Miss Coulson has been a staff writer on the Jayhawker for the post
two years. In addition she has been society editor, campus editor, feature editor, and associate editor of the University Daily Kansan.
Miss Coulson and Woodward replace Richard MacCann, c'40, and Chad Case, c'41, as editor and business manager of the magazine.
John F. Ebelke, instructor in the department of German, has been offered an assistant instructorship at the University of Michigan for the coming fall semester. This position is offered in connection with the graduate scholarship of the University of Michigan.

Gannett Says New Deal Stops Youth
Frank Gannett told 55 members of the Young Republicans' Club at a luncheon in the Sunflower room of the Memorial Union building at 12:30 p.m. today that there were 4,000,000 young people in the country who had never held jobs and that the 1,500,000 students who would graduate this year had little chance of getting jobs because of the controlled economy tactics of the New Deal administration.
Gannett, publisher and Republican candidate for presidential nomination, flew to Lawrence from Topeka in his private plane this morning. He flew to Topeka yesterday from Rochester.
Saw Dictators
Gannett said that he had been a newspaperman with no intention of entering politics until he visited foreign countries controlled by dictators. After seeing what had happened in these European nations he decided to do what he could in the United States to prevent any possibility of a similar situation arising.
Not entirely pessimistic in his outlook, Gannett told his student audience that the country offers

In order that the census may be as accurate as possible, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce is acting as a clearing house to see that all University students are reached in the national nose-counting project.
George Hedrick, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, announced today that any students who think they might not have been counted at their permanent home address will be checked up on if they will call the C. of C. office and leave their names.
Hedrick said that one of the census-takers will come around and see students who call in.
By a vote of 8 to 5, W.S.G.A. passed the recommendation of the central committee on student activities that $250 be given to the University Housing Bureau at a special meeting last night. By a unanimous vote the Council passed the bill granting $550 to the leveling of the west intramural field.

Crooks and Audience Take To Each Other
By Christopher Vandaveer
Some singers use their voices as though they were flutes—something to be blown into gently and handled with care; others use their voices as hammers—an instrument with which to beat a prescribed piece of music into subjection; then occasionally, very occasionally, there breathes a vocalist who uses his voice as an organ—he

artist. And Mr. Crooks responded.
He sang not one encore but seven which, as far as we can recall, is an all time high for Mount Oread.
All Kinds of Trouble
Singer Crooks' concert wasn't presented under the most ideal conditions either. First it was the piano which required considerable switching so that the accompanist would have sufficient light to read his music; then the foot lights had to be flipped up out of the basement so that the audience could see something of the artist besides his thinning gate; pate two listeners in the front row had frequent paroxysms of coughing that caused the Metropolitan's favorite tenor some trouble; and then, to crown it all, the backstage telephone rang just as he was launching into the delicate, tender "Longing," by Vassilenko.
Mister Crooks was not one to be taken aback by the unexpected intrusion of a busy world on his concert. He stopped singing, motioned to his accompanist to go see what the
man on the other end of the wire wanted, and stood quietly waiting until whatever it was that needed attention got it. Mr. Schauwecker, the pianist, came back motioned that all was well now and Mr. Crooks began "Longing" all over again.
A Well Balanced Program
The large audience that heard Crooks' concert last night could not complain that the program was too "arty." It was well balanced with something included for every taste.

Seventy-five women will be guests at the Jay Jane annual election tea from 3 to 4:30 p.m. next Tuesday in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building, according to Ruth Spencer, c'41, president of the organization. These 75 women were chosen by the Jay James from the women attending the open tea last Wednesday afternoon. From this group 27 will be chosen as Jay Jane bledges.
Plans to aid in the registration of mothers during the Parents' Day program Saturday were discussed at the regular meeting of the organization last night.
Campus Wedges Are Comfortable
One reason for the popularity of wedge shoes is that they present unusual foot comfort. They give excellent support to the instep and ankle and create a firm base for walking. To lighten their somewhat heavy appearance, many of the new versions are trimmed with scroll cutouts.
Some of the best liked styles are made of elasticized serge or gabardine fabrics. They are usually combined with patent leather or kid. Very light in weight, they cling to the foot snugly and give it a well-fitted feeling.
Rain Slows Work On New Men's Dorm
Smile Please--attention, so you'll be all set to look life and all those terrifying strangers right in the eye.
Workmen on the new Battenfeld dormitory will begin laying the tile of the side walls next Thursday, according to Gus Nelson, superintendent of the workers.
Although work has been hampered by the rainy weather the foundation is nearing completion and will be finished by the early part of next week. At the beginning of the rainy weather, the crew was forced to work steadily through the rain, pouring cement piers before the rain-soaked earth caved back into the holes. A large part of the west bank slid down completely filling the west foundation trench.
Consider the First Impression You Make -- and Then How It Grows
In no time at all a considerable number of Campus bigwigs will turn their backs on college days and armed with the proverbial sheepskin, set out to make more or less of an impression on the world.

Those are something you can't do much about—except, of course, give them the proper amount of shuteye, so they'll look bright and sparky. Your smile—not a sickly grin—counts a lot. The way you move your hands, the way you talk. If you stammer and stutter and study the carpet, or if you get all wrapped up in your watch or bracelet, you might as well be spouting "All Gaul is divided into three parts" as getting out a patter it's taken you months to perfect.

Spring seems to be practicing the old adage that if at first you don't succeed, try, try again, but if there is any reward for persistency, old man winter will certainly walk away with the medals regardless of the fact that spring is on top this afternoon with clear skies and warmer weather forecast for the immediate future. Taking a turn around the Campus, one can find that Lilac Lane has suddenly become a path for strolling rather than just a one-way drive, and although the University golf course is a little muddy and the Grove has acquired some of the aspects of Potter's Lake, they are two of the most popular spots on the Campus today for students who are fortunate enough to have leisure hours.

Huskers Here Tomorrow Aggie Thinclads Invade
Knute Kresie To Lead Jay's Baseball Team
By Bob Trump, c'42
The job of pushing the Nebraska Cornhuskers deeper into the Big Six cellar, and at the same time pulling the Kansas Jayhawkers up within striking distance of the first division rests squarely on the shoulders of Kresie.
This was the verdict rendered by Coach Mike Getto this morning as his athletes prepared to swap base hits with the invading Cornhuskers in a two-day series beginning tomorrow.
As usual, tomorrow's game will start at 3 o'clock, but to avoid a conflict with the Kansas-Kansas State track meet on Saturday, the second game of the series will get under way at 2 o'clock.
If Kresie goes the route tomorrow, Getto will be well supplied with pitching material for Saturday's game. He will probably start Henry Horak, southpaw pitcher-outfielder, but may also use John Burge or "Red" Dugan on the mound.
The varsity diamond dried out sufficiently enough for batting practice late yesterday afternoon, but Getto sent his pitchers back to the stadium to work out, as soon as they had taken their turns in the batting cage.
Good Pitchers Ready
Other Big Six Battles
Firing will cover three fronts in the Big Six conference tomorrow and Saturday. In addition to the Kansas-Nebraska battles, Kansas State plays Missouri, and Iowa State engages Oklahoma in weekend series.
Kansas State could vault into first place with a double victory over the present league leading Missouri Tigers, but the chances are against Carl Miles, Paul Christman, and company allowing anything of this sort to happen.
Iowa State takes on Oklahoma, the other co-leader of the conference in two games, which will go a long way toward proving whether the Cyclones' early season showing was merely,a flash in the pan. Since winning two straight from Nebraska, and a single game from Kansas, Iowa State has dropped two decisions to Kansas State.
Laws on Roundtable Program Tonight
The remaining six University Roundtables will be discussions of public relations conducted by members of the classes in public law.
The first in the series to be heard at 10 o'clock tonight over KFKU is "The Power of American Legislatures to Convene Themselves" presented by Ernest Deines, Clarence Robinson, Marion Miller, and Mary McDonald, all second year law students.
Golfers Win; Netmen Lose To Ichabods
Dean Ritchie led the Jayhawk golf team in a 10 1-2 to 7 1-2 win over Washburn College, but the Ichabod netmen kept their unblemished slate clean by outstroking "Dutch" Uhrlaub's men, 5 to 1, in matches played at Topeka yesterday.
Playing in a strong, chilly wind on the Shawnee Country Club course, Ritchie carded a 77 for medalist honors. Runner-up honors went to Bill McElhenny, when he toured the 18-holes in en 82. Wakeland soared to an 85, to turn in his highest score of the season, but he tied his twosome match with Barker 11-2 to 11-2. Bill Gray, playing the number 4 position for Kansas, lost his match to Knight, who was low man for Washburn with a 78.
After losing his first set, 6-3,
Howard Engleman, Jayhawk
number 1 man, won the next
two sets and the match from
John Christner, for Kansas' only
win. Jack Floyd was the only
other singles man able to win a
set from the undefeated Ichabod
netmen.

SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
We've been praying for good weather for a long time, and finally it has graced our campus. Now maybe a few sports events will get under way.
Today our golfers and net men meet Kansas State on our links and courts. The Wildcats will bring strong teams in both golf and tennis.
Yesterday, our linkmen swung over the Shawnee Country Club in Topeka to defeat the Washburn Ichabods, 10½ to 7½, but meanwhile, the K.U. netmen were going down in defeat in the hands of the Washburn tennis team. The Ichabod team has been undefeated this season. Howard Engleman, Kansas number 1 man, beat John Christner, number 1 man from Washburn.
ATTENTION: Baseball fans; toorrow the Jayhawkers play Nebraska here, and again on Saturday afternoon the teams will meet. Kansas has won only one of their four Big Six starts, but to top that off, Nebraska has lost all of its four tilts. So you can count on the leaguertraining team to fight it out for the cellar, here Friday and Saturday afternoons.

Cagers Get Under Way In Spring Practice
Practice will last only three weeks this year—Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week, and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for the next two weeks. Each period is from 3:30 to 5:30. Another change has been made this year, in that they are concentrating on the freshmen. The presence of varsity men is optional, since $\textcircled{8}$ —
Lose Four Men
the freshmen are receiving the most attention.
Four basketeers will be lost to the Kansas squad next year through graduation. Those graduating are this year's co-captains, Dick Harp and Don Ebling. Bruce Voran, and Jack Sands will also be lost. Harp, Ebling, and Voran are helping Dr. Allen as "event" coaches. In "event" coaching, Harp instructs the guards, Ebling the forwards, and Voran the quarterbacks, while Dr. Allen looks over everything in general. Considerable scrimmage is being done for five minute intervals, after which the "event" coaches correct the mistakes made by their respective players. This method of coaching aids not only Dr. Allen, but also gives Harp, Ebling, and Voran experience, because coaching is entirely different from playing.
Kansas-Wildcat Rivalry Again In Track Meet
Work Despite Of Rain
Outstanding freshmen who have showed up well are: Marvin Sollenberger, Norman Sanneman, Don Blair, Vance Hall, John Buescher, Jack Conner, Earl Bozeman, Browder Richmond, Dick Miller, John Hallberg, Kenneth Dunn, Allen Nipper, and Ted Moser. However, spring practice has just begun, and other prospects are likely to have a good showing as practice advances.
By Carty Dawes, c'42
Rivalry is just around the corner to the west-90 miles to the west, because Kansas State's track coach, Ward Haylett, is bringing his Wildcats to the Memorial stadium to meet Bill Hargiss' track team, Saturday afternoon.
Under the steady, mouthy cannon-ading of some of the men on the campus that want to see Kansas win, the trackmen are becoming desperate, looking for a team, which they can set their teeth into for a victory. Some of the runners have been told they have seen nothing but the other teams' backs all season, and that slur is still burning wildly in their minds—probably in their spiked slippers too.
According to Mr. Bill Hargiss and combine, the Jayhawkers are going to be more than ready to eat up that 71-2 point margin that State took home with it in its last dual meet here in early March.
Between April showers, workouts have been carried on by the team members, quite faithfully the past two weeks. When the track does not permit use outside, the runners turn toward the runway under the pillars in the stadium. While this
Topeka Table Tennis Team To Play K.U. Here Sunday
The six-team table tennis team from the Topeka Table Tennis Association in Topeka, will invade the KU. Memorial Union building at 3 p.m. Sunday, to play the Jayhawker table tennis team.
Playing for the Jayhawkers against hte visitors from Topeka will be Perry Peterson, Charles Ham, Malcolm Black, and Bill Martin. Because they are undecided as to what two girls will represent Kansas, the following three girls are possible participants Sunday, Shirley Irwin, Norma Tibbets, and Doris Johnson.
indoor playground cannot come up to the first rate requirements of the outside track, it does provide a place to work out when otherwise it would be impossible.
All but three men were in top condition for competition by yesterday afternoon. The three complaints, however, arose from K.U.'s A No. 1 members. Darrell Mathes and J. R. Jones reported stiff muscles as a result of the journey to Drake and the damp weather. Quarter-miler Bill Greene is a little peaked and "under the weather," from a cold, but he is expected to make a short-lived illness of this "de-conditioner." 15 Events Saturday
Saturday's spectators will be provided with a show of 15 events. Fifteen events, yes, but are there Kansas competitors in all of them? No one knows. The weight entries are sure for only one event, the javelin. Perhaps Herb Hartman will prolong him trip home for a week, in order to pick up places in the shot-put and discus. If not, there will be another man or two who can attempt to

35 Military Grads Are Fingerprinted
Thirty-five men who will graduate from the R.O.T.C. as second tenants in June were finger-vited and measured for army uniforms yesterday.
The finger printing is required by the government before accepting the reserve officers. Deputy Sheriff Wayne Owens made the prints.
The measurements were being made for the new reserve officers uniforms which are a gift to the graduates from the University and the R.O.T.C.

Dick Edwards and Don Thompson have hardly had a chance to show their worth this season in the four-
relay. The 800-yard run and mile should prove more valuable in this point-getting array Saturday, which races will be run by the above mentioned men.
Harris Still Out
Ray Harris, the miler who tosses dirt in his opponents faces in the mile run, must remain content with sharpening his already sharply whetted clefs for at least one more week. "No well ankle, no running Ray," says his sympathetic coach.

Jack Dempsey made a statement to the press in Oklahoma City that "Mike Jacobs is ruining the fight
game." Dempsey pointed out the fact that if Jacobs promoted any more fights like the last Louis-Paychek love affair, Madison Square Garden might just as well forget that there is such a thing as good fighters in the United States. . . In a translation of Dempsey's attitude, New York is just darn tired of one and two round world's championship fights.
THEY'RE OFF AGAIN. . . . On May 30, the 1940 Indianapolis Motor Speedway classic will get under way with at least 47 cars entered. Bidding for the 500-mile title will be eight foreign built cars. Of the forty-seven cars entered, only 33 can actually start in the race on May 30. Back again this year are champions Wilbur Shaw, Indianapolis, and Kelly Petillo, Los Angeles. Rex Mays, of Glendale, Col., will be one of the favorites in the long grind, as he will drive the car of Louis Meyer, who has finally retired from the racing game.
The Kansas State Wildcats diamond team knocked another surprise in the Big Six diamond standings when they defeated the favorite Iowa State Cyclones again yesterday, 6 to 2, in Manhattan.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Blues open their home season this afternoon, when they meet the Columbus Redbirds. Ernie Bonham and Tom Sunkel will probably be the starting slabsters for K.C. and Columbus respectively. . . . . . Congratulations to Vernon Hampton, of the Kansas City Times, for one of the best sports pencil sketches that this corner has ever seen.

Wildcat netmen blanked Emporia State Saturday afternoon, but have lost matches to Washburn. K-State golfers defeated Nebraska in a Big Six meet and have scored victories over the Washburn linkmen.
Ritchie to Lead Jayhawkers
Dean Ritchie will again play the number 1 position for the linkmen and lead off against the K-Staters this afternoon. Ritchie has led the Big Six defending champions in every meet but the first, and has yet to lose his first match.
The return golf and tennis matches scheduled with Washburn for April 17, and postponed because of rain, will be played here May 8, said golf coach William H. Shannon this morning.
Bill McElhenny played an improved game against Washburn yesterday, and shot an 82 on a cold wind afternoon. Bob LaGree will replace Gray in the lineup as number 4 man. In the two matches LaGree played, he came through with scores in the low 80's. Rod Wakeland will play in the number 2 spot for Kansas.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
J. P. Carmichael, dean of American dentists, says that the great American public, without anything but advertising propaganda to substantiate its belief, pins its faith to the toothbrush as an all-powerful weapon in the battle against tooth decay and pyorrhea.
Instead of promoting mouth health, the toothbrush and its modern paraphernalia actually induce disease. Toothbrushes, incorrectly used—which is the rule rather than the exception—do a great deal more harm than good. The bristles injure the delicate tissues of gums and mouth and often wear the enamel of teeth beyond repair. Scratched enamel and punctured gums are easy prey for lurking bacteria and germs.
Tooth Brushes Debunked
The toothbrush is obviously a failure. Dental authorities agree that tooth decay and mouth diseases are more prevalent than ever in civilized countries where such brushes are universally in daily use. Despite this fact the market is flooded yearly by thousands of miles of pleasantly flavored pastes, millions of brushes, and enough mouth wash to flavor the Atlantic Ocean. Like other cherished customs, hallowed by age and tradition, the efficacy of the brush in oral hygiene is taken for granted.
The life span can be increased from ten to fifteen years by eradicating dental diseases, the late, optimistic Dr. Charles Mayo declared. If all this be true, then it is possible, by abstaining from further use of the brush, living a nice quiet life out of reach of the wars, and by getting ten hours of sleep each night, to live to be 100 years old. Remember, it's just possible. J. P. Carmichael, D.D.S., is eighty-three.
About 999 gullibles out of every 1,000 have been persuaded that toothbrushes, toothpastes, and mouth washes prevent decay and pyorrhea. Advertisements make the American public teeth conscious and manufacturers of dental articles rich, yet dentifrices do nothing to stem the rising tide of the scourge that has haunted the human race since Neanderthal man cut his first wisdom tooth.

Syphilis: Not 1 in 10
In. almost any campaign it is considered good tactics to depict the problem in its least flattering light in order to draw public attention to the urgency of the matter. This, the New York Times declares, has been done in the drive against syphilis by various social agencies. The great need of preventing and curing syphilis cannot be over-stated; yet for the record it might be well to cite actual figures.
For several years, during the time the term syphilis came to be used in conversation and public prints without offense, it has come to be accepted that one out of every ten persons was afflicted. Philip S. Broughton of the United States Health Service explains in an article, "Behind the Syphilis Campaign," that actually this figure means the probability of contracting syphilis at some time in life, not the number of persons having the disease at any given time. Each year, Broughton reports, 518,000 newly infected patients apply for treatment and an additional 598,000 advanced cases come to physicians or clinics for the first time. The number of untreated can only be guessed. But the fact remains that not one in ten persons has
syphilis; rather, the percentage is considerably lower—about one in a hundred.
Thomas J. Duffield, registrar of records in the New York City department of health, said that out of 141,148 pre-marital tests, required by state law, 2,342 persons showed a positive reaction, or one and three-fifths per cent. This figure, it is pointed out by the Times, is less than one-third of the ratio of five per cent published by the American Social Hygiene Association, and less than one-sixth the usually accepted ratio.
Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, writing in "Modern Medicine in the United States," said: "I question the wisdom of the statements made by some authorities that the American population is afflicted with venereal disease to the extent of ten per cent. I do not believe that any specialist in genito-urinary diseases, skin specialists, or general practitioners would be willing or able to verify this certainly much exaggerated statement, which in my humble opinion is fraught with danger to the peace of mind and happiness of the individual citizen."
Granting that the lower figure is the more nearly correct, the problem of fighting syphilis is none the less serious. Much has been done in combating the disease, although even more remains to be done. In education—perhaps legislation—lies a more effective weapon for stamping out the disease. Fear may serve as a means of obtaining immediate results, but an intelligent, straight-forward presentation of the facts concerning syphilis is the means for eradicating the disease with any lasting results.

YOU SAID IT
University Approved Rooms Not Approved Editor, Daily Kansan:
Housing conditions here at the University have been lambasted many times, but it hasn't seemed to produce any noticeable results as yet. Now I realize that winter has been held over longer than usual, and that in normal years it would have been warm long before this, but it does seem that our penny-pinching landladers would realize that the upper stories of their houses are chilly in any other season. So we must be keen to believe that misled persons striving to get an education should be slowly freezing to death in University approved rooming houses. Perhaps our new M.S.C., contrary to their usual custom, could do something about it.
I hope that every landlady sees this and has at least one pang of remorse for her misdeeds to suffering mankind.

W.P.A. Plans 'To Smash Juvenile Delinquency'
During the 10 weeks from the close of school in reopening in September trained WPA leaders will to more than 1,000 playgrounds in the state, supple dermanned staffs in local communities and instituting recreational programs in towns which have none now.
Athletes to Participate
These recreation leaders, including among them unemployed musicians, circus men, cabinet makers, and former college football stars, will teach the vacational school children how to make use of leisure time and how to keep out of mischief.
Among projects in various communities in which the plan will be put into effect are painting, sculptoring and wood-carving classes, model aircraft building, organization of drum and bugle corps, making of simple musical instruments, and may other similar leisure-time diversions.
Groups To Be Organized
In hopes that the students will continue the program through the winter, they will be urged to organize self-governing bodies, patterned after projects like Pittsburgh's "Hill City," where youths run their own model communities to encourage leadership and respect for law.
Similar projects are under way in New Kensington, New Castle and several other Pennsylvania towns. "The success of our activities during the past few years in reducing juvenile delinquency and co-couraging communities to expand their recreational facilities," plained Luther D. Grossman, she assistant WPA recreational supervisor, "shows that a well-coordinated, statewide program can an even better job and build at the same time a generation Americans thankful for the portunities accorded them."

Crooks Used To Be A Singing Ice Man
This is about a man who used to bring the ice.
Alexander Richard Crooks, tenor a-la-tops and pinch-hitter for Lawrence Tibbett, as the first attraction on the University's Music Week program—a very common man who started at the bottom and ended at the top.
Crooks, who thrilled his audience in Hoch auditorium with his golden voice and easy style, said that he was glad to be filling in on the University program for Lawrence Tibbett because he remembered the time when Martinielli had to fill in for him while he was undergoing an appendectomy
Behind the scenes, while his pianist held the stage alone, "Alex" answered a number of questions for this reporter. He hinted that the intermission would be omitted when he said, "I'll just play dumb and walk on out, for I must be on my way to the University of Iowa at 10:10."
Asked if he would take a vacation following his Metropolitan concert tour, he lamented, "I don't know. The tour is running longer than I expected, but I'd like to get some in."
He admitted that he must practice all the time to do runs at his best. His least is three times a week. His chauffeur supplied the information

that Crooks vocalized on the way to Lawrence from Kansas City. He arrived in Kansas City last night by plane from New York.
During his number "Longing," a phone off stage began a continual ring and the 200-pound nightingale simply stopped singing and waited until the ringing ceased. "Nothing bothers me anymore," he said, "I have gotten used to weights on drops falling and people vocalizing in the wings while I am singing an aria."
Every inch of Crook's 6 feet two is an ordinary man. He has painted gas tanks for a living, and sang as he worked. He has been an ice man in Trenton, N.J—a singing iceman—and a clerical worker in a New York insurance office. He fought in the World War, giving his age as 21 when he was really only 16. He would rather be at home or on a fishing trip than anywhere else.
Another peculiar fact about the foremost tenor of the world is that he is a native American and instead of a shock of hair he is bald in spots. He and his voice grew up virtually untutored. He didn't learn to read music.
He is the first native-born American to appear as a leading tenor at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, an honor usually reserved for a European.

Crooks' popularity last night was not so much in what he sang, nor the quality of his voice, but in the way he sang. There was no bristling wall between artist and audience. He took them in and they, in turn, took him in. The rapport between singer and spectator was perfect.
But he had something more than stage presence. His tones were round and full and true. He soared up into the higher register with never a slip. His enunciation was clear and precise. His expression was sincere. In short he was good.

New K.U. Tune---school song he has composed. That information was received here today by Fred Elsworth, alumni secretary from Hilda Cole, publicity director for Waring.
Hampel, e'40, president of the band. will write copies of the arrangement for the dance band which plays that night.
As to what kind of a song it will be, Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, says that he expects a college hymn similar to an alma mater. He has sent the maestro a large amount of material on the University—its location and setting, the appearance of its campus, its present school songs, and its traditions, landmarks, and lore. If people like the song, Ellsworth anticipates that it will become our new alma mater possibly within five years.
This song comes as a part of the program of Waring's to write school airs for a number of colleges and universities throughout the country showing interest. He recently wrote "O.K., Oklahoma" for O.U.

Campus Ready For Waring's Song Tonight
Eyes of the collegiate world will be focused on Mount Oread tonight as Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians introduce, over a nation-wide NBC network, the song which has been written especially for the University by the noted orchestra leader.
Jayhawkers will predominate throughout the program. The studio audience will be composed entirely of Kansas alumni. The song will be dedicated to the University by Maestro Waring. And to top off the evening, recent Kansas graduates will give the Rock Chalk yell. The program will be presented over the NBC network at three different times tonight. At 5 o'clock, the following stations will carry the broadcast: WOAI, San Antonio; WOW, Omaha; WSN, Nashville; and WLW, Cincinnati. At 9 o'clock, the program may be heard over stations KANS, Wichita; WHO, Des Moines; KOA Denver; and WKY

Dad and Mother will take over the University tomorrow.
Officially, it's the twelfth anual Parent's Day. Unofficially it will be (please not, weather man) a pleasant spring day and a chance to show the folks around the campus, introduce them to the Chancellor, and have a good visit with the Bill-Payer and the Cake-Baker.
More than 150 parents are expected to attend the banquet which will be held in their honor in Memorial Union building at 6:30 o'clock tomorrow climaxing the program of afternoon activities planned in their behalf. This number is based upon advanced reservations which were made today. Committees, which have been working on the program for the past three weeks, would be happy if 1,000 parents appeared.
Prizes will be presented at the banquet by C. H. Mullen, l'41, to those parents having come the longest distance and to the parents having the most children attending the University. The organized house with the largest percentage of parents present at the banquet will receive honorable mention, while the county with the largest number of parents present will also receive honorable mention.
At the dinner music will be presented by the Women's and Men's Glee clubs. A group from the Men's Glee club will sing selected numbers and a sextet from the Women's Glee club will sing "I Dream of Jeanie" by Foster and "The Prayer" by Hymprednick from "Hansel and Gretel." All groups will be under the direction of Prof. Joseph F. Wilkins.

Gannett Flays Farm Set-Up Of New Deal
In an NBC Red network broadcast, Frank Gannett, candidate for the 1940 Republican presidential nomination, last night appealed to the nation for an adequate solution to the farm problem before an estimated 600 G.O.P. supporters in the Varsity theater.
The Rochester, N.Y., publisher proposed a monetary policy favoring the restoration of farm prices to normal, not controlled, but with production to cure the basic ills of agriculture. Emphasizing that the farmer has suffered most from the depression, he said, "The farm problem must be solved before we can have general recovery and we must have general recovery soon or our form of government will be in danger."
Citing the apparent success of British governmental efforts to hoist farm prices to parity with industrial prices and wages as proposed at the Empire's economic conference in Ottawa, Canada, in 1932, Gannett

Whole Floor Will Be Torn Out to Walls
By Roscoe Born, c'41
A game of upset the fruitbasket for the Memorial Union building's pool-shooters and coke-drinkers was envisioned today when Henry Werner of the Union operating committee announced that the Union's sub-basement would be torn out "from wall to wall" to make way for a suite of "new and modern rooms.
The new basement is expected to be completed by next fall and will re-arrange all rooms in the Union's lowest floor in a move for space economy.
May Approve Plans in a Week
Just where the fountain, recreation room, and other offices will be placed is not yet known, but Werner said he expected the final plans to be approved within a week.
Two sets of plans for the basement already have been furnished by the architectural firm of Bloomgarten and Frohwerk of Kansas, City. Both sketches were discarded by the sub-committee of the Union operating board, which is working on the idea.
Both members of the Kansas City firm are University alumni and are considered experts in this particular field, Werner said. Frohwerk, who is giving special attention to the basement's plans, is expected to develop "some of the finest rooms in this part of the country."
To Use Fluorescent Lights
Werner said plans included fluorescent lights for all rooms and added that the whole basement would be "new and modern."
So many organizations had requested offices in the Union's basement, Werner said, that it was felt some space-saving move (Continued on page eight)
Malott Advises Seniors To Write Fewer Letters
"Don't write 50 application letters." Chancellor Malott advised 35 job-hunting seniors who gathered in room 213 of Frank Strong hall yesterday for the third Employment forum. "It is better to concentrate on six or eight companies which your investigations indicate might have need for the services you are selling."
Because there are so many roads to success, the choice of the first job is not so vital as it seems to the average senior. Rather, ultimate success depends upon analyzing one's ambitions and abilities, the correct approach in applying for the position, and the right attitude toward work, fellow workers, and
the boss, after the job is obtained,
Malott said.
Yesterday's forum was the last in a series of three which has been sponsored by the senior class and th Alumni association. The first was Feb. 27, when J. E. Walters, personnel director for Purdue University spoke. Charles S. Stevenson, general manager of Hall Brothers, Inc., was speaker at the meeting of April 10.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, said this morning that the success of this year's series of forum indicate a reorganization and even more extensive program of help for the seniors of 1941.

Chi Omega's, Theta's, and Watkins hall women have scheduled their annual spring parties for tonight, but the Chi Omega's have covered their plans with a veil of secrecy—could be a surprise, who knows? Clyde Bysom and his band will swing it at Watkins hall for their May Day party and program dance. A large Maypole with vari-colored streamers has been erected and a profusion of yellow and white flowers will complete the decorations. Bright yellow paper daisies will serve as programs at the affair. Lavender, yellow, and green will be the predominant shades in the decorations at the Kappa Alpha Theta May party in the Memorial Union ballroom. Two large May poles have been set up at either end of the band stand, with white lambs capering upon the dark curtain between. A picket fence with spring flowers and pastel-colored
lowes and paternal co-
lored lambs along it, will surround the room. Clyde Smith and his band will furnish the music.

White Adds Beauty To Summer Brocks
Dark summer sheers look and feel cooler when they're frosted with something crisply white. Touches of lingerie are the first thought; white jewelry is another. Newly arrived in town is some of the second that gives the effect of the first.
Featherweight necklaces, bracelets, clips and earrings made of acetate are not only crisp and white but they also produce authentic crochet designs. One bracelet is a group of lacy stitches and the clips with daisy centers have matching leaves.
A double strand of balls that look as if they had just been turned out by a crochet hook make one of the newest necklaces. Bracelets match and there are earrings that are nail balls.
This jewelry comes in colors, too, and is particularly effective in black to wear on light frocks.
Afternoon and Evening--may choose something extreme like the white satin above which has an enormously full skirt.

Frills Add Feminity To Costumes
When a new star appears in the fashion firmament it is always a matter of great excitement. At the moment, eyes are turned to this season's brilliant find—the lingerie collar and cuff sets for long-sleeved, covered-up evening gowns and casual dinner suits. Once you see them—so smart, so becoming and so practical—you will wonder why they weren't thought of long ago.
It is as though the designers took one look at the sophisticated appearance of this spring's slim dark evening outfits and decided that the most effective trim for them would be one that offered the greatest contrast. And these very feminine, extravagant and delicate frills were the result.
There are fragile looking ones of sheer mousseline de soie and crisp affairs of snowy white paup. Ap
parently there is no limit to their size or fullness. One astonishing collar is composed of a ruffle almost six yards long.
One is made of double ruffles of foamy white mousseline de soie. These are edged with narrow Val lace and baby rickrack braid. It is also shown in a delicate pale pink shade.
Visualize the rippled, ruffly effect of a jabot and imagine it extending all the way around the neck and coming to a point at the front like a fichu and you will get a picture of one dramatic group of these collars. They are quite wide, from six to possibly eight inches, and their tremendous yardage is in fold after fold around the neckline.
Another single ruffle of mousse-
line de soie appears to fasten at the
Sheer White Ruffle
Disarmingly young looking is the ruff of white pique that fits up around the neck in a circular rather than a V-shaped manner and ties with a bow of narrow pique loops. Its claim to fame, however, lies in its accompanying circular cuffs that may be fitted up under the edges of short or elbow-length sleeves. The cuffs themselves measure almost two yards around their outer edge and fall in soft folds over the arm.
front with three pearl buttons, but actually slips on over the head. This one is edged with small white embroidered dots that will make you think of a border of white confetti.
Although specifically meant for evening wear, any of these collars might be used as an elaborate touch for a dark afternoon dress.
Not so extreme in style or size is the collar with revers attached
that is made of moussequal de soie edged with a ruffle of the same material. It has deep gauntlet cuffs to match and may be had in pale flowery pink or blue. All three colors are smart accents for black or navy blue this spring.
Square Sailor Collar
Big square sailor collars of organdy are tucked and ruffled and trimmed with lace or big cat's whisker bows at the center front. Revers of embroidered organdy are tucked and edged with lace and have enormous pointed cuffs.
One set, made of a band of cut-out embroidered orgyand, a wide accordion pleated ruffle and two rows of lace, has matching cuffs of an unusual shape. They are wider at one end tha nthe other and can also be slanted across pocket tops for trim.

Home Interest Conference Held Here Today
The Home Interest Conference opened at 10 o'clock this morning with registration in Spooner-Thayer museum. The meetings which deal with exterior and interior decoration of the home are being sponsored by the departments of home economics and design and the extension division.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott gave the address of welcome at 10:30 a.m., followed by a discussion of "Making Your Standards of Living Correspond to Your Income" presented by John Ise, professor of economics. This was a lecture on family finance dealing with the arrangement of the budget. Viola Anderson and Olga Hoesley of the home economics department and Mrs. Fred Ellsworth supplemented the talk with a panel discussion.
Elizabeth Meguiar, dean of women, gave a lecture on "Accessories of the Home." Following this an illustrated lecture on "Old Glass as a Profitable Hobby," was presented by Mrs. W. D. Beven, chairman of the committee on American homes of the Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs.
A tour of Spooner-Thayer museum was held from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Guests viewed displays of glass, rugs, coverlets, quilts, furniture, and clocks. Student demonstrations of clay modeling, pottery making, p印刷, and sculpturing were featured in the visit to the design department at 4:30 p.m.
Dinner for the visitors will be held at 6:15 p.m. in the Union building." Landscaping the Home Grounds." an illustrated talk by Donald Durell, professor of botany, will be featured at the dinner, which will close today's activities.
No Expeditions to Claim $1,000,000 Hitler Reward
New York, May 3—(UP)—The $1,000,000 reward offered by Samuel Harden Church, president of the Carnegie Institute, for the capture of Adolf Hitler, caused complaint and ridicule today but as yet, no kidnaping expeditions were reported under way
The New York Times, through which Church made the offer, reported it had received a telegram from a professional strong man in Houston, Texas, offering to "bring Hitler back," but he wanted a $100,000 advance.
The Times also reported a telephone call from Victor Frederick Himmelwright, a senior at Rennsauer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N.Y., counter-offering a $10,000 reward for the capture "dead or alive" of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French Premier Paul Reynaud. The youth said he was arranging to post the money in a South Orange, N. J., bank and that he was making the offer as an Allied sympathizer, believing that Britain and France should dispose of their present leaders.
Church's offer, backed by 50 men and women of Pittsburgh, provided that Hitler must be taken "alive and unwounded" before the League of Nations for trial for "crimes against the peace and dignity of the world."

Cellar Position Fight Today
Knute Kresie On Mound Against Huskers Today
Fifth place was at stake, as the Kansas Jayhawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers clashed on the varsity diamond this afternoon, with the victor holding a chance of climbing into the upper strata of the conference standings, and the loser being relegated to the depths of the cellar.
Change Jay's Lineup Again
The Jayhawk lineup, which has been as changeable as the spring weather of late, exhibited a few more minor alterations today. Eldreth Cadwalader, team captain, was moved in from the outfield and stationed behind the plate, "Red" Thompson was posted at third base, and Miller Cameron went to center field. Flanking Cameron were Larry $ ^{3} $
Hensley and Henry Horak.
Except for the change at third, the Kansas infield was the same as it has been all season, with Ray Napier at shortstop, Charles Kraemer at second, and Jack Sands at first.
Knute Kresie was the starting hurler for Kansas with Henry Hoark slated to pitch tomorrow. The second game of the series tomorrow will begin at 2 o'clock in order to avoid a conflict with the Kansas-Kansas State track meet later the same afternoon.
Thompson to Third Sack
Thompson's elevation to the position of first string third baseman was made to fill the spot left vacant by Knute Kresie, today's hurler. Kresie played third against Iowa State last Friday, and may become a familiar figure around the hot corner when he isn't pitching.
An experienced infielder, Thompson held down first base during the early part of the season before Jack Sands reported for practice, and he may go places if he can continue to show improvement at the plate. Coach Mike Getto intended to start him at third against Rockhurst, but that game was rained out, and so he gets his chance today.
Women's Intramurals

Kappa Alpha Theta baseball team lost by a narrow margin of 18 to 20 to Kappa Kappa Gamma yesterday afternoon on the intramural field.
Margarette Parker pitched for Kappa. Ellen Irwin caught a good game. Shirley Irwin and Virginia Elliot scored home runs for their team.
Jean Perry, hurling a fast and straight ball, pitched an outstanding game for Theta. Jane Blaney aided her as catcher. Doris Johnson and Jean Perry scored home runs for Theta.

Alph's, Phi Psi's Win Diamond Tilts; Teke's in Defeat
In several of the intramural baseball games yesterday, it was a matter of question whether they were track meets or imitations of the girl's ball games. High scores were prevalent, but in some cases this was caused by the high wind which swept the field and made the handling of flies tricky.
Theta Tau scored 17 runs in the initial stanza and never were behind the rest of the game. They beat Alpha Chi Sigma by the score of 30-14.
Hall Leads Alph's
The pitching of Hall led the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team to a 22-4 victory over Acacia. Kelcher and Wilson had perfect days at the bat. Both of these Alf fielders batted out four hits.
Phi Kappa Psi smashed out a 12-8 victory over the Pi Kappa Alpha squad. The game was marked by many errors, Phi Psi's outfielders dropping six flies in the course of the afternoon but their infield was airtight.
Sigma Chi From Behind
A four run rally in the closing frame enabled Sigma Chi to come from behind and defeat the Delta Chi's, 8-5. The Delta Chi's had scored one run in each of the first five innings, to build up their lead only to have it disappear in the Sigma Chi's last effort.
Despite six hit pitching by Kovak, which kept the Dominoes scoreless except for the third inning the Teke team was defeated 5-2. The Dominoes combined three hits with walks

The University golf and tennis teams reversed their luck of the Wednesday Washburn dual, when the netmen swept through the Kansas State tennis team, 5 to 1, and the golfers lost their matches 11 1-2 to 6 1-2, in matches played yesterday afternoon on the local courts and links.
"Dutch" Uhrlaub's netmen lost only one singles match in their onesided victory over the Wildcats. Howarl Engleman led off for the Jayhawkers by outstroking Thornburrow, 6-3, 6-3. Kermit Franks and Conrad Voelker playing in one doubles combination, and Jack Floyd and Harris as the other, won their matches in straight sets. Ritchie and York Tie
Dean Ritchie, K.U., and York, K-State lead-off man, tied for medalist honors with a 77 on the Lawrence Country Club course. After soaring to an 85 in the Washburn meet the previous day, Rod Wakeland carded a 79 for runner-up honors. Bill McElhenny and Bob LaGree both toured the 18 holes in an 83.
Saturday morning, the golf and tennis teams journey north for a return dual meet with Nebraska. In the matches played with the Huskers here April 20, the golfers came out on the long end of a 16 to 2 score, but the netmen lost their matches, 5 to 1.
Engleman to Stay
Howard Engleman, lead-off man for the varsity netmen, will not make the trip to Nebraska. Jack Floyd, Kermit Franks, and Conrad Voelker will make up three members of the team, while qualifying matches will be played this afternoon between Warren Shupe, Bob Minor, Charles Snyder, and Harris to decide who will play the fourth position.
Dean Ritchie, Rod Wakeland, Bob LaGree, and Bill McElhenny will play in the golf matches at Lincoln tomorrow.

You just can't tell . . . I mean in the prediction of sports events. . . Yesterday, the Jayhawker net team pulled a surprise, when they defeated the K-State Wildcats 5 to 1.
But in reverse of its regular performance, the K.U. golf team went down in defeat at the hands of the Aggie linkmen, by a score of $11\frac{1}{2}$ to $6\frac{1}{2}$. Coach Shannon's men will leave tonight for Lincoln, where they will engage the Nebraska Cornhuskers on their links.
Speaking of fights, the date for the Maxie Baer-Tony Galento fight has been moved back to July 2, from May 28, because of the death of Galento's manager, Joe Jacobs... Harry Mendel will handle the "beer barrel that walks like a man" in his fight against the Livermore plavbov.

K.U.-Wildcat Track Teams In Dual Meet
The 880-yard and mile runs should provide the Kansas team with two firsts, because Don Thompson and Dick Edwards will be doing the running. Joe Ryan will probably also show his back side to the Wildcats in his mile.
Due to inter-sport complications, the Kansas-Kansas State track meet, which was to be at 1:30 tomorrow, will begin at 3:30 that same day, Coach Bill Hargiss announced this morning.
Beven, O'Hara Favorites
A tri-school high school meet at the stadium prolonged a short practice by the Jayhawk flyers yesterday afternoon, which was held in the Memorial stadium between Oread, Vinland, and Piper. The field was not cleared of its young contestants and enthusiastic fans until after 3 o'clock.
Beven and O'Hara expect to champion the pole vault as they easily did in the last State meet. O'Hara won this event in March with a vault of 12 feet 6 inches, and both men look good now.
Those impatient from waiting, came out on the field and worked on the weights in this last practice before the dual meet, even while the high schoolers were still in the midst of their events. Even the runners were tossing the shot.

The play so far seems to indicate a real battle, but we will stick our money on either the Sig Alph or Sig Ep teams. The Beta's and Dominoes' are the squads most likely to do any upsetting.
It was the I.S.A.-Phi Alpha Delta game that was the nip and tuck battle of the day. First one team, then the other, took the lead but when the score had finally been tabulated, the P.A.D. team was on the long end, 8-7.
Next week's schedule calls for full days of play and unless the weather man objects, some of the leaders will be playing each other for positions in decisive play-off rounds to define the champion.

A Midas Or a White Elephant
The United States today owns two of the greatest accumulations of wealth ever amassed in the history of civilization. Buried in a "hole in the ground" at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are some $18,000,000,000 in gold bullion, more than 60 per cent of all known gold reserves in the world. And, not content, with the Midas touch, the government also has acquired nearly 3,000,-000,000 ounces of silver, one-seventh of the world's output since the discovery of America.
Pegging the price of gold at $35 an ounce instead of its former price of $20.67, had the effect of bringing to the Treasury four times as much gold as it had six years ago. Similarly, the government's $3,779,500,000 silver hoard, beginning with the Silver Purchase Act of 1934, was built up in much the same manner. The Treasury was directed to buy silver until the accumulation was equal to 25 per cent of its combined silver and gold reserve. In 1934 some 1,333,000,000 ounces of silver were needed to equal this 25 per cent gold-silver reserve; in 1939, 1,616,000,000 ounces were needed. And as time passes, the number of ounces required is becoming increasingly larger.
Most of this difficulty resulted from the short-sighted view taken of gold and silver purchases. The rise in price of the two metals made abandoned mines profitable once again, and low grade ores, valueless at former prices, brought in a nice margin of profit at the new price. Foreign governments seized or passed edicts requiring their citizens to turn over gold and silver articles, which, when smelted, found their way to the United States in exchange for oil, cotton, airplanes, and other commodities. Gold poured into the country at an alarming rate, as did silver. More and more silver was needed to equal the 25 per cent combined silver and gold reserve.
Several possibilities of pulling the government out of its self-imposed dilemma have been promulgated, including the loaning of gold to other countries to build up trade. Yet loans can only be repaid in trade or gold, and the United States already is exporting more than it imports, with the balance being paid in gold. So, with no satisfactory means of getting out of its difficulty, the government continues to buy —afraid to stop its purchases, equally afraid not to stop. The government's magic touch, it seems, has backfired into something resembling a white elephant.

YOU SAID IT
Praises Negro Mid-Weeks
Editor. Dailv Kansan:
Enthusiastic iconoclasts who spiel loud and long about education in democracy sometimes forget there is such a thing as democracy in education. Based on democratic principles, the process of education is a broad one. The students at our educational institutions are theoretically given a well-rounded program, one intended to develop them mentally, socially, morally and physically.
Apply this democratic theory to the Negro on our own campus. Mentally, he is given a fair chance. He sits in the same classrooms and is given access to the same amount of information as the white students. There are but very few of our instructors who make the slightest distinction as to the color of students who sit in their classes. The theory of democracy in education has actually become a practice insofar as it relates to the development of the intellectual capacities of our youth.
Morally, too, this great theory has absolved itself into practice at our University. The Negro students are welcomed into both the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A., the two most liberal and the most character-building organizations existing on the campus.
But at this point, democracy in education fallsers as far as the Negro at K.U. is concerned. Socially, the great theory remains only theory. Our Negro students are offered very little of the social side of education. For the same activity fee as white students pay, they have put one varsity dance a year. This means that white students are allowed ten times as much on their activity tickets as Negro students. The former may go to at least thirty one-hour dances yearly, while the latter are given one three-hour dance for the same period of time. Democracy has indeed taken a decided turn here. This situation may easily be remedied. Negro students may be allowed to hold weekly dances in the Kansas Room of the Union building. At our Union fountain Negro students are shoved into two or three "cubby-holes" at the very rear of the room. Democracy would abolish discrimination as to seating at the fountain.
As regards physical development in education, democracy has again failed to hit its mark at the University. Capable and willing Negro athletes are not given the chance to display their prowess on our athletic fields. They are refused participation in track, football, basketball, baseball, and intramural sports. Democracy would show us that Negro youth are just as capable as white youth in athletics.
J. D. E.
It's really lamentable that such things exist. Needless to say something should be done about it—something must be done about it or democracy will mean more in America than a high-sounding word. Passing the varsity-dance bill is a splendid beginning at tackling this problem.

With the Hill's cello-tuggers, me-me-me singers, and bato swingers just beginning to settle down after a week of concert recitals, banquets, and let-out classes, it's Grandfather's closetime for the rest of the Hill population to pay a tribute to themley and often exasperating School of Fine Arts.
Daily training in that school performs a function. True may be a headache to classes in Frank Strong hall and to passer by on University Drive. But it serves to provide the Hill wil future reflected light of famous alumni who will be pointed o as I-knew-him-whens.

Collegians to Conduct 'International' Experimen
Stillwater, Minn.—(UP)—An experiment in "international living" will be conducted here this summer by 30 American college students, 10 college instructors, and 15 European refugees.
The experiment, conceived by Donald Watt of Syracuse University years ago, is described as a study of the American way of life.
The students during an eight-week period in July and August will make a comprehensive survey of community needs, study group problems, develop a community project requiring physical labor, and provide entertainment programs for Stillwater residents. summer, the experimental series established
Directors of the experiment said selection of the 30 college students would be based on scholarship and personality. Regular classes will be conducted by instructors and several of the refugees who were educators in Europe.
Before the European war, students were sent to foreign countries in an effort to obtain a better understanding of living problems in various lands.
Because of the war tension last
But because the experiment that a college campus was not type of American life, arrangements we made to establish three camps the year—in the East, Middle West, or West.

The project has been finance through a legacy administered Watt.

News Continued From Page 1 Remodeling Job--should be made. Though there is some unused room at the east end of the basement, the new plans will not include that space. Werner explained it would cost $2,200 to move machinery from that section and said the committee felt that added cost prohibitive.
John Blocker, professor of economics, heads the sub-committee which is pushing the new plans. Other committee members are: Karl Klooz, bursar; Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Memorial Union; and two students.
At present, the Union's sub-basement houses the fountain two recreation rooms, the Y.M.C.A. office, the Jayhawker office, the W.S.G.A. book exchange, the K.U. Camera club, and the Student Union Activities board.
Gannett Flays----
said, "The voice of experience still suggests trying it."
The economic reform advocate who was introduced by Alf M. Landon, chairman of the uninstructed Kansas delegation, termed the Hull reciprocal trade treaties as being unfair to American farmers. Blasting at new deal policies, he ventured the opinion that the "power to regulate
tariffs should rest with Congress, and not be delegated to anyone in the executive department." He pointed out that industry, finance, labor, and agriculture cannot prosper permanently unless all are permitted to exchange their goods and services at a fair level of prices.
Emphatically denouncing the new deal farm spending policy, Gannett cited the great sum spent with an eye toward benefiting the farmer.

Pachacamac Bob McKay, b'40, who will be installed as representative-at-large, came within a lone vote of receiving president's honors.
Last month McKay was once elected by a vote, then declared loser by the same amount.
When installation is complete tonight, P.S.G.L. will still be in control of the M.S.C. This is the League's second consecutive year as dominant council party.

Waring Airs New Song To Campus
The long-awaited University essay written by Fred Waring was aired to the nation over NBC network Friday night. At the end of the new hymn, sung by the Waring Glee Club, a rousing Roch-Chalk yell was given by the University of Kansas alumni in the studio audience.
Last night members of the University band cut a record of the broadcast, and Joe McAnarny, ed'41, worked all day today arranging the song in order that it may be played at the University Band dance tonight by Clyde Bysom's orchestra.
The song is slow in tempo, a true college anthem. In introducing

These gifts supplement the drive to furnish beds and bedding for the house. The drive was announced recently by Donn Mosser, c'41, chairman of the dormitory fund.
Dates set for the drive are May 14, 15, and 16. At that time, collectors will try to secure $750 for the fund. Seventy-five dollars contributed by the Council has already been secured.

High point of yesterday's activities were the trips made to nine Lawrence homes and gardens. The guests were shown homes chosen for their architectural design, and gardens outstanding for their landscaping.
The supper marks the opening of a Lawrence drive to secure funds to aid needy Chinese students who have been forced to evacuate their colleges and universities because of war conditions. The flag was made by the Hongkong Student Christian Union in appreciation of similar contributions made in previous years.

Parents Hear Malott Explain School's Value
Three hundred thirty parents of University students, past present, and some for the future, attended the annual Parent's Day banquet last night in the Memorial Union ballroom and heard Chancellor Deane W. Malott refer to their children, the student body, as "not alone 4500 students, but 4500 experiments in living."
The father of Eleanor Lindley, fa'43, took first honors for having come the farthest to be present for the banquet, his journey having carried him 750 miles from Columbus, Ohio. Lindley confessed that the trip had been planned "before I had been informed of a parent's day banquet, but fortunately, it fit into tonight's occasion perfectly."
Chancellor Malott explained what function the University performs after the parents have done their part in preparing the child for the future. He cited several examples of where the parents of past students who have congratulated the University and its teachers on the work they have done in building character for their children.
Other prizes were awarded to parents for having the most children in the University, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn A. Dawes, of Lawrence, who have

'Too Hard To Sing'-
New Song Won't Replace Alma Mater Say Kansans
If University students could only sing K.U. might be sure of the adoption of a new Alma Mater, but it appears that the old time-worn "Crimson and the Blue" outshines its new rival in at least one respect. The new song, which was composed and introduced for the first time by Fred Waring and his band Friday night, has been generally recognized as "too hard to sing."
The University apparently approves of the song but the majority of the students do not believe that it will ever take the place of the present University choral work.
They say:
Among those questioned were:
Among those questioned were:
Chancellor Mallot: "It's fine, I like it very much, but as for its becoming a new alma mater, I suspect that it will be more like "I'm a Jay Hawk" leaving the present school song as it is."
Betty Kimble, c'41: "I think it is very pretty. I do think, though, that it will be a little too hard to sing to become our school song."
Dr. Byron Sarvis, instructor in psychology, "Yes, I like it very much. It is a prettier song than our present one. Too, so many other schools have the same tune as we now do. But the new song is not steeped in tradition as is the present one. This will be a difficult factor to overcome."
Velma Wilson, "c'40, ex-president of W.S.G.A.: "I think it is pretty good, but it will be hard to sing. No, I don't believe it will replace the "Crimson and The Blue."
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association: "The lyric is full of flavor; the melody has some tone sequences unlooked for by the ordinary singer. We will like it more as we know it better. It will live."

Quill Club Adds 20 New Members, Pledges Two
Miss Ada Rice of Kansas State College, national high chancellor of Quill, presided at the meeting of the Quill Club Friday night when 20 pledges were formally initiated into the organization and two persons were pledged.
Also taking part in the ceremony were E. M. Hopkins, professor of English, master of ceremonies; John E. Hankins, professor of English, scribe; Gordon Brigham, c'42, warden of the purse; and Evelyn Longerbeam, gr., assistant master of ceremonies.
G. N. Bebout, instructor of English, was initiated as a faculty member of the club. Students initiated were Margaret Welch, c'43, Virginia Hartmann, ed'42, Marjorie Van Nice, c'41, John Waggoner, c'uncl, Betty Coulson, c'41, Mary Elizabeth Evans, c'43, Cystelle An-Maurine Mong, c'40, Lawyenson, derson, c'40, Barbara Scott, c'40, Jean Sellers, c'43, Betty Denious, c'41, Jean Brusses, fa'42, Betty Schultheil, c'40, Nancy Kesler, fa'41, Marjorie Kresie, c'40, Polly Gowans, c'41, Mrs. Jane Robison, c'41, and Pauline Snyder, c'41.

Jersey Accessories Are Season's Hit
This is certainly a jersey season. From evening dresses to swim suits, from tailored sports things to housecoats, it has been the popular fabric of the year. Now, accessories in jersey, matched hat to glove, and bag to blouse, carry this new fabric to new heights of popularity.
Most of the jerseys being used are woven of rayon. The colors are bright and gay, a pretty foil to navy, gray, or black. A new rayon jersey adds an embroidered dot to give it the look of dotted swisse, making it particularly good for summer travel wear. You'll find it in handbags, blouses, gloves and hats.
Country Costumes Have a Casual Kind of Charm This Season
Those students who have ideas about going out of town for the next few weekends and are planning wardrobes for the country will find that country clothes are just as charmingly casual as the life they are meant to lead. They are a blend of superb comfort and of fine tailoring that stops just short of formality. Theirs is a deliberately careless and carefree appearance with a sophisticated and fashionwise background. Clean cut and with never an unnecessary frill, their ornamentation takes the form of unusual buttons, seaming details and interesting color combinations.
A skirt of soft forest green suede is stitched in vertical lines to give the effect of fan-shaped pleats around a wide fitted waistband. The matching green suede jacket is trimmed with a band of stitching that extends from the front of the suit over the shoulders and down the back like a pair of suspenders. A wool plaid skirt in wine and two shades of gray, and a wine colored suede jacket, are combined in another suit. An unusual feature of the jacket is its rounded lapels of plaid wool bound with wine red suede.
Tweeds are unquestionably the favorite for such costumes. And as though to compensate for their sturdy practicality they make a lavish use of color. One suit of a soft spongy tweed is a veritable rainbow of blended hues. On a loose-cut boxy coat, pastel flecks of pink, lavender, blue and turquoise are widely scattered over a beige monotone background.
For you who particularly like the look of leather costumes there are suits of suede. This season's versions are treated to many of the same intricate details of cutting and trimming found on fabric suits.

Support Comes From State
The University of Kansas receives virtually no support from the Federal Government. The entire support of the R.O.T.C. is paid by the Government, and $1,000 of the cost of the home economics department comes from Federal funds. All other funds come either from state legislative appropriations, students fees, or earning of auxiliary departments.
Strong in Athletics
Athletics and physical education take a healthy place in the program of interests at the University. Kansas won the Big Six championship in 1930, tied for second in the standing in 1932, was third in 1935 and 1937, and has had a fighting team in the field every year. In basketball the K.U. team has been champion of its conference seven times in the past 10 years. In track the Jayhawkers consistently have had great stars such as Bausch and Cunningham.

Nebraska Sweeps Series
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Horace Mason Guest Conductor
It is customary for the Sooners to have a hard hitting infield and this year's is positively murderous. On first base is big Herb Scheffler of basketball fame. Second baseman "Popeye" Lasater is a wiry, little veteran playing his third year as a regular. Sam Blackwell, a heavy hitter, is at shortstop, with Jack Riley at third. It's an all-senior infield, with a lot of finesse and a lot of power.
Items from here and there: Al Blozis, giant Georgetown weight man, looks good for a new world record in the shot put. . . The 6 foot 6 inch sophomore has been putting the shot 55 feet consistently this season. . . John Wilson's style of high jumping with only one shoe on may bring him a world record. . . The Southern California ace jumped 6 feet 9½ inches at Los Angeles last Saturday.
Jack Baer, former Oklahoma football and baseball star, is playing center field for Scranton, a farm of the Boston Red Sox. . . Joe Gulledge, one of the best natural hitters even seen in the Big Six, went from Oklahoma to a farm team of the Boston Bees. . . Ferrel Anderson, "Ole Andy," ex-Jayhawk star, is batting cleanup for Norfolk, Va., a Yankee farm in the Piedmont League. . . Opening day Anderson caught Charley Mason, who was regarded as the best Big Six pitching prospect in many years when hurling for Missouri.
Tab Don Pollom as a name to remember. . . This Jayhawk freshman is going to make football and track history at Kansas unless we miss our guess. . . Pollom holds the national high school record in the low hurdles, and was equally as good in football. . . In a football suit he can run like a deer and twist and dodge with the best of them. . . The fact that he works his head off in practice doesn't make the coaches feel bad either.
Hats off to Forrest "Knute" Kresie, who ranks with the finest baseball players in the history of the University despite the fact he is only a sophomore. Friday Kresie turned in some of the classiest pitching ever seen on the local diamond. With decent support, the young right-hander would have had a near shutout, rather than the 9-6 defeat he suffered.
Kresieh had so much stuff Friday that many of the Nebraska batters were missing the ball six and eight inches. The ball Kresieh was pitching jumped around as though it were alive. "Knute" had speed and control Friday. His curve was breaking sharp as a knife, his drop was beautiful to watch and his knuckle ball was highly effective. All of which added up to 10 strikeouts for the sophomore ace.

Kansas Rally Falls Short Huskers Win 7-6
By Bob Trump, c'42
Triumph was a fickle and elusive thing for the victory-starved Kansas baseball team yesterday afternoon, and although the Jayhawks pursued it for nine long innings, they were never quite able to close the gap.
The result was a 7 to 6 decision for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, a clean sweep of the two day series for the visitors, and a reserved seat in the conference cellar for Mike Getto's club.
The Jayhawks didn't succumb to defeat without a struggle. One was out in the last half of the ninth inning and the Cornhuskers were leading by a single run when the versatile Knute Kresie, who played second base for the Kansans yesterday,
Darrell Mathes Runs 100' Yard Dash In Record Time-9.3
Just five yards separated Darrrell Mathes, fleet Kansas sprinter, from trackdom's Hall of Fame yesterday afternoon and this is how it happened.
Participating in the dual meet between Kansas and Kansas State, Mathes won the 100 yard dash event handily.
When the timers consulted their stop watches, their eyes almost popped out of their heads because the hands of each timepiece stood at 9.3 seconds—a new world's record for the 100 yard dash.
An investigation revealed that the race was begun five yards past the usual starting line and hence the athletes had run only 95 instead of 100 yards.
Golf Set Given To Dr. Allen
Dr. "Phog" Allen has just received a set of Kenneth Smith hand made golf clubs as a gift from 287 of his Lawrence friends. Inscribed on each club are the scores of the NCAA basketball games: Oklahoma 39, K.U. 45, March 12; Oklahoma A. and M. 43, K.U. 45, March 16: Rice 42, K.U. 50, March 22; Southern Cal. 42, K.U. 43, March 23; and Indiana 60, K.U. 42.
A congratulatory telegram, signed by 287 Lawrence citizens, which was sent to Dr. Allen the night of the Indiana-K.U. game in the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City, Mo., read: "We, the business men of Lawrence, wish to show our appreciation for the fine contribution you have made to the Kansas University and the Youth of Kansas for 25 years. You have established a record of which we are justly proud. This gift is in sincere appreciation of the leadership you have so definitely established as an outstanding citizen of Lawrence."
The set contains four woods and 10 irons. The leather golf bag is equipped with an umbrella. "Presented to "Phog" Allen by his friends of Lawrence, March 30," is the inscription on the bag.
slapped a ground single into right field and tock second as outfielder Van Buskirk juggled the ball.
A crowd which had seen the Jayhawks take an early lead, lose it, and then fight back to tie the score again, moved forward in the bleachers. Maybe today was their day. Two chances to score the tieing run and only one out. Surely the Kansas luck wasn't all bad.
But Larry Hensley, who had snapped out of his hitting slump with three singles in four times at the plate, couldn't find another hit in his bat, and Jack Sands grounded out, first to pitch covering first to end the game.
Miller Cameron singled to left, was sacrificed to second by Kresie and scored on Hensley's hit to center. The rally idied while Sands was bounding out to the second baseman, but roared a moment later after pitcher Truscott had walked Eldreth Cadwalader and Dorus Munsinger to fill the bases.
Though the Kansas nine once more took a blind alley in its search for the road to victory, the fans spent anything but a dull afternoon. Hardly had Umpire Bice issued the command to play ball when Lefty Horak, who pitched a courageous but losing game, had retired the Cornhuskers and the Jayhawks jumped into commanding lead.
Three hits, two walks, and a fielder's choice netted the Cornhuskers three runs in the third. Singles by Rubino and Schmode and Sands' error on Munsinger's throw to first sent the visitors into a 5 to 4 lead.
Monte Merkle unloaded a single into left field, scoring Hensley and Cadwalader, and a moment later accomplished the almost Herculean feat of going from first to third on Horak's one base hit. The throw from the outfield arrived ahead of Monte, but the big catcher slid head-first amid a cloud of dust and clutched the bag before third baseman Thomsen could tag him. Here he remained, however, as Searle replaced Truscott on the mound for Nebraska and ended the four run inning by retiring Ray Napier on strikes.
The Jayhawks knotted the count in the fifth as Hensley drove his second hit of the day into left field, advanced to third on Sands' single to right, and scored as Cadwalader was

Continue Fine Arts Recitals
Senior recitals in the School of Fine Arts will be continued Tuesday evening when two young women in music will join their talents in a program of voice and piano numbers.
Arlouine Goodjohn, soprano from the studio of Joseph Wilkins, will present several groups of voice numbers, and Eva Ruth Meinke, a pupil of Ruth Orcutt, will play a number of piano solos.
Miss Goodjohn, whose home is in Leavenworth, came to K.U. from Lindenwood College and has figured prominently in music events at the University. She had an important role in the production of "Blossom Time" here two years ago. She is a member of the University Women's Glee Club, Mu Phi Epsilon, and Alpha Chi Omega.
Miss Meinke has won scholastic honors in all four years at K.U. She was recently elected to Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary musical sorority, as the highest ranking student receiving the award of the gold key complimentary from the chapter here. She is president of the Fine Arts student body, a member of W.S.G.A., Mu Phi Epsilon, Mortar Board, and the Jay Janes.
The recital will begin promptly at 8 o'clock and will be held in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
K.U. Cavalry Camps Overnight In Bonner Springs
Bonner Springs, Kansas will be the overnight stop Thursday of members of the K.U. Hunt Club and E.B. DeGroot's equitation class on their cross-country trip to the seventh annual Horse Show and Exposition in Kansas City, May 6-12.
The Rotary club of Bonner Springs will entertain the 10 or 12 riders at a dinner Thursday evening. They will stop overnight at a summer camp, property of the Bonner Springs Board of Education.
According to DeGroot, instructor in physical education, the purpose of the trip is "to have a good time, to see the Horse Show, and to use the horsemanship they have learned, on
Men's Intramurals
The traditional rivalry of the Phi Gam's and the Phi Delt's came to the fore in their baseball game Friday and as is customary it was quite a battle. The Phi Delt team built up an early lead of 6-0 while the Phi Gam's consistently had men on base but were not able to bring them in. Home runs finally broke the drouth of runs for the Phi Gam's and they went into a 7-6 lead. Later scoring enabled them to increase this lead and defeat the Phi Delt's 12-6.
Paul Heinz was the winning hurler and Al Sleeper the loser despite the fact that he did not finish the game. He was forced to yield to the attack of the Gam's and Bill McKinley finished.
It was a battle of two of the leading pitches in the league when the Sigma Nu's met the Delta Upsilon team. Stipp and Hocevar hurled for the respective teams but neither were in their regular form and the batters had a field day.
When the smoke and dust had cleared away the Delta Upsilon team had scored 19 runs to 9 counters for the Sigma Nu's.
Golf entries have been turned in and the play will begin in this sport any day now. The tournament will be conducted on the basis of a total team medal scores and the tournament will be an elimination contest.
Beta Theta Pi was the winner last year in golf and is the preseason favorite since it has practically the same team back this year.
Five Women Still In Tournament
Five women are still competing in the women's bracket of the Memorial Union table tennis tournament. Final results will be due Wednesday.
Women, remaining in the contest are Doris Johnson, Shirley Irwin, Ellen Irwin, Mary Jane McCoy, and Norma Tibbets.
a cross country trip. Final arrangements will be made Monday."
One of the features of the sports show which has been planned is a fencing tournament, in which University fencers will participate. Jim Raport, Kansas fencing coach, will supervise the match.
The equestrians will attend the Show Friday night and return the same night by car, since one of the horses is entered in competition both Friday and Saturday nights.
Also on the sports show will be a Goal-Hi tournament. Dr. "Phog" Allen, inventor of the game, will present trophies to the winning teams.

Nebraska Sweeps—

Two were out and none were on in the seventh when the Huskers scored the winning run. Schmode tripled to deep left center and Searle followed with a single to right field scoring Schmode. Van Buskirk then singled down the right field foul line, and Eearle, who had gone to second on Cadwalader's error, crossed the plate with what proved to be the deciding tally.
Hard luck dogged the Jayhawks as they struggled to tie the score in the eighth. Merkel, first up, walked and was advanced to second by Horak, only to be doubled off the keystone sack when center fielder Gableman made a nice catch of Napier's long drive.
Thus, victory came to Nebraska and defeat once more rested with the Jayhawks. Lefty Horak, who had pitched well, striking out eight men, walking six, and allowing 11 hits, was the losing pitcher, and Bob Searle, who relieved Truscott in the first inning and limited the Kansans to six hits was the winner.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
Babbling Voices
"Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." (Genisis 11, 9.)
Today, too, German, English, Italian, Russian, and Scandinavian propagandists confound all mankind. Each country babels so loudly and meaninglessly, that no one can understand, and the radio and the press scatter this propaganda jumble to the whole world.
It is expected that the Nazis would call upon the neutrals to discount the "lies" of the British "Ministry of Misinformation" and warn the English that Neville Chamberlain's "warmonger" cabinet is profiteering in munitions stock.
It is to be expected that in his speech appealing to the American public, Lord Lothian, Great Britain's ambassador to the United States, would use such words as, "We shall win because, to quote words once used by one of your great Presidents, 'We stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord.'"
It is to be expected that the dry British sense of humor would return to satirical techniques of Alice in Wonderland, depicting Hitler as the world's number one "Blunderbuss" when, for example, in Adolf in Blunderland, Hitler is asked what size he would like to be, says, "Oh, I'm not particular as to size, as long as I'm bigger than the British Empire and the Dutch Empire and Belgium and the Balkans all rolled into one. You see, ninety million people is such a ridiculous size to be. My head needs more space all the time."
Finally it is expected that in his German White Paper, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop try to show that Britain had long prepared an invasion of Scandinavia, and that Germany had been forced into invading first or self-protection.
All of this "Babel" is to be expected. It is daily tripe that falls on editor's desks and radio listener's ears. Nothing but such stories and emotional appeals could possibly be expected in times of world conflict. Although the United States, too, must tolerate this barrage of falsehoods, it is hoped that it will never be compelled to enter into the European ward of contagious insanity.

YOU SAID IT
"Flunks" and Professors Editor, Daily Kansan:
Assuming a student attends class and is the least bit interested in the course, he should never receive a mark of failure. Many students have torn their hearts out working for something they just couldn't comprehend, talked to their instructor about their work, and then received a flunk. With all the investment a pupil puts in school is a flunk the right thing? Is it at all possible for a man to lose something when he takes a course? The law says you do because three grade points are subtracted from your record. That infers that you know less at the end of the course than when you started and this is a fact that no Dean or Professor can deny. If this is the case the teacher is double rotten.
Many failures are a result of poor examinations. Many instructors will talk and discuss something in class for days and weeks, but when exam time comes you hear nothing about it. Believe it or not, it is being done. Examinations are considered by many teachers as tricks, and not to find the scope of knowledge of the students. It is a game of great fun to guess what the instructor will ask. If a subject is important enough to ask on an examination? Instead,
important enough htо ask on an examination? Instead, the tricky professor, in making up the exam inwardly smiles and says, "here's something on the bottom of this page they won't get."
The writer does not mean to infer that all professors are this way, because everything isn't bad and everything isn't good. This is a law of nature. There isn't a student on this hill, which a passing grade does not mean a great monetary value to him as well as time, pride, and a certain psychological effect.
Many teachers are inconsistent and don't know how to make up an examination. They don't even know, many times, what was discussed in class. All they know is that certain chapters were assigned and themselves don't even know the important points in that chapter. No professor wants a student, but the teacher doesn't care if he flunks them. There would be fewer failures, under normal circumstances if the college teacher would ask this question before giving the grade. "What does this grade mean to the student?"
A SENIOR.

That many college freshmen know more than the average senior is a known fact. But if it gets too well known, we won't have colleges anymore and then what would the professors do?

To Our Parents
This Parents' Day celebration is a pretty good thing for softening up these young sprout college students who know all the answers and if they don't know them, can pick them out of their "crib" notes. Listen, "Sis" and "Bud" you can stop putting on airs for your parents this morning, because they really know all the answers.
Take "Sis" for example. She's probably trying to explain to her mother how she can't keep her hair fixed, buy silk stockings, and get a new formal for the Senior Cakewalk on her "measly old allowance." This is a good time to spring it because Sis can point out her friends who don't have to get along "like I do." And then, Sis will probably be telling just why she's not doing so good in Physiology: "Mean old guy; he just doesn't like me and takes his spite out on me." But her mother will smile knowingly because she used the same old line on grandmother back in the days when it took personality and not a sun-tan and canned repartees to get a fraternity pin.
Bud's case is about the same only on the masculine side. If his father is an Elk, Bud can let him in one some of the Campus life, otherwise he'll have to gloss over the rough spots and talk about his studies—or expenses. Father's probably a little more interested in just how his son is preparing himself for that job after graduation. He wants "Bud" to have a good time but he wants him also to be building toward the time when father won't be around to protect him. We have an optimistic hunch that father is going to be rather proud of "Bud" and the University that is preparing him for that time. He'll probably cheer the son up with a tale about the obstacles he had to meet in school and in getting started in business and life.
A lot of us couldn't have our parents here for the celebration. Some of them were too broke to make the trip and thought a little spending money for the children would be appreciated just as much. They were wrong but that's the way parents are. Maybe the distance was too great or one of them was sick. A lot of reasons could account for their absence. All of us whose parents aren't here are going to spend a home-sick Sunday. We wish they were here to meet those who could come and to see the University. We're pretty proud of it; we're proud of our parents, too—they gave it to us.
ROCK CHALK TALK
By Marilyn McBride
Fred Waring and chorus performed on schedule, and the New Kansas Hymn made its debut. The fraternities listened and wept with the inter-fraternity sing too close to make the hymn anything but a vocal headache. One line in the song sticks in the memory: "The crimson prairie sunset and the Kansas sky of blue."
Sunday Afternoon The hours are slow, the day's no good
I wish I were in Hollywood.
Dinner's over. Church is done.
What do people do for fun
Till Time removes this date adverse
And brings on Monday which is
worse?
The British are taking the long way round now that Italy is teetering on the fence. The Cape of Goo Hope route looks more promising for the British lifeline than the unfriendly Mediterranean.
Reminiscent of Henry Ford's peace-ship sent to Europe during the last war is the Carnegie foundation's
million dollar offer to encourage a hare-brained kidnapping scheme. The capture of A. Hitler seems as feasible as the 1917 Ford scheme to "get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas."
Refreshing contrast to the bouquets and crowns being thrown to campus notables is the announcement of a new award at the Aggus college at Stillwater for the Biggest Heel.
Hungry lawyers tired of the extra long noon-time sessions in Professor Tupy's Agency class have started bringing their lunches to tide them over.
K. U. scoops the national Mother's Day and has its annual Parent's Day this week. From the humblest freshman to the glamor-girl and b. m.o.c., the campus is proud to welcome its folks. Those necessary and important purveyors of moral and financial support. . . . the mothers and dads of the K.U.' classes of '40, '41, '42, and '43.

Cast Announced For 'Mellerdrammer
The cast for the K-Club play "Murder in the Old Red Barn" or "The Price She Paid" were announced by Rolla Nuckles, instructor of speech and dramatic art yesterday.
Maria (heroine) will be played by Bill Beven, ed'41, and William Corder, the villain, who must act like a hero) by John Naramore, b'40.
Mr. Martin (Maria's father), Ray Napier, e'40; Dame Martin (Maria's mother), Larry Hensley, b'41; Ish Mael, the gypsy, Quido Massare, e'41, Anne (Maria's sister) Herb Hartman, ed'41; Tim (Anne's fiance), Denzel Gibbens, e'41
Although the entire chorus has not yet been announced, those who have been selected are: Ed Suagee, ed'41; John Burge, ed'41; Howard Engleman, b'41; Herb Hartman, ed'41; Dick Driscoll, c'41. A quartette will be under the direction of Otto Kiehl. With almost phenomenal facility, Bill Beven is taking on charm and femininity as rehearsals progress.
John Naramore, b'40, will be remembered for his expressive eyes in "The Drunkard." Quido Massare promises to be one of the high lights of this year's show. His acting seems to be a combination of Fred Bosilevae and Steve Renko, ed'42, who were "successes" in the last K-club play.
It is rumored that the lines are so funny that the mere repetition of them "panics" the actors.
The first two acts of the melodrama have been rewritten and the third will be finished tomorrow, Nuckles announced. Already, the cast has learned lines of the first act.
Monday, the Old Red Barn will be painted and other scenery built. The actresses will be measured, and material for costumes will be selected, as it was impossible to find ready-made garments in the sizes called for.
Turkish Jeweler Supplies New Ideas
Paris is very curious these days about the onetime jeweler to the sultan of Turkey, who has set himself up in the manufacturing business and is now ready to drape women in diamonds, harem fashion, wholesale! He says that "flowers and ribbons are the fashion in real gems" and shows his current favorite. . . . two enormous diamond pansies, each with a single ruby petal. The two flowers may be worn together, in as many ways as there are days in the month.
Ribbons and diamonds twine and twist and are even tied in bows. A bridge ring is set with a ribbon of sapphires drawn through a tiny diamond buckle less than a quarter inch square. Another little touch of Turkish delight is two rings, exactly alike, worn on the index finger. This expert claims that most of his new commissions are for rings to be worn on the index finger, which with proper designing can make your hand look long and slender.
Kistler and Ellsworth Plan To Attend Conference
J. J. Kistler, assistant professor of journalism, and Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, will attend the Topeka conference of the Southwest Association of Industrial Editors, to be held May 10.
Every-Day-Art Museum Unnoticed in Strong Hall
A regular art museum, kept modern and fresh by a constant stream of new exhibits, continues day after day on the third floor of Frank Strong hall, unnoticed by the general populace of the University.
The displays, made and put there by students in the department of design, under the direction of Miss Rosemary Ketcham, represent all phases of creative work in design. Featured now is a group of rare old Japanese paintings dating 1850 and back on display in room 320. In the same room are about 20 pieces of sculpturing done by members of Bernard "Poco" Frazier's sculpturing class. Several of the characters are funny; other are on the serious side.
In the hall outside room 320 are a number of real "old-fashioned" Indian looms, on which students are currently weaving pieces of handwoven goods. Several finished pieces done on the looms are on display in room 320. One auto robe and a spread are exceptionally well done.
In the west hall of the third floor are exhibitions of book binding, pottery, beaten metal, and wood carving. A counter display which recently won first place for Louis Weinberg in a contest sponsored by the Jordan Company in Kansas City, is set up in a glass case in the west hall. It shows an air gun, which the company has just invented for spraying vel-suede, a new method of decorative finish.
Exhibitions of story illustrating, and designs for playing cards are displayed in the small room to the right of the design office. Here also are dioramas made by the history of art class, which will remain as a part of the permanent display of art from prehistoric times down to the present time.
Essay Contest Judges Chosen
Four faculty members will act as a committee to select the winning essay in the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis prize essay contest before May 15, Seba Eldridge, chairman of the committee, announced today.
The contest, which closed last Thursday with less than 10 applications, was open to student essays on modern applications of Christianity.
First prize winner will receive a $100 award and $75 and $50 will go to second and third place winners.

Try Students In District Court Monday
John M. Claflin, c'40, and Robert Palmer are slated to appear before Judge Hugh Means as the May term of Douglas county district has its first session Monday morning.
The state charges Clafin with four counts of arson in connection with the fires at the Phi Delta Theta house last fall, and Palmer, a former graduate student of the University, with possession of intoxicating liquor. Clafin's trial has been set for Monday, June 17, and Palmer is scheduled to appear next Wednesday, but both cases will be subject to a change in schedule when Judge Means arranges the criminal docket Monday morning.
Reuben Brown, c'42. who faces charges of burglary in connection with a theft at the Holyfield Music company, will also appear at the arrangement Monday but he is not listed on the docket. Beach indicated that the felony charge against the 21-year-old Negro youth might be dropped.
The jury has been instructed to appear Tuesday morning.
County Attorney Milton P. Beach said yesterday that he expected to try five cases in the May term. Besides the Palmer and Claflin cases, Raymond Phelps, charged with manslaughter, and Fred Reynolds, who faces charges of violation of a state board of health regulation in the sale of milk, are listed on the docket. Beach indicated that he expected Lewis Troy, charged with first degree murder, to enter a guilty plea to manslaughter.
The civil cases will not be set until later.
Dr. "Phog" Allen was the speaker at a sales council meeting of the American Dairies association yesterday in Kansas City, Mo. James H. DeCourse is chairman of the meeting.

The words to the new song are as follows:
Verse
The crimson prairie sunset and the Kansas sky of blue
Emblazon in all their glory the banner of old K.U.
O'er Kaw and Wakarusa valtteys swept with gold
Come, every loyal Kansas heart
so brave, and true.
so brave and true,
Come, stand beneath the elms of
Oread of old
And sing a tender song of love for Kanssag U.
Chorus
We'll be loyal sons and daughters And we pledge our devotion true To thee, noble Alma Mater All hail to the Crimson and Blue The banner of old K.U.
Farmer Goes---the speakers of evening, who were Farmer, new president, Bob McKay. b'40, the defeated presidential candidate who automatically becomes representative-at-large, and Chancellor Deane W. Malott, the main speaker of the evening. The keynote of both Farmer's and McKay's speeches, as well as of Mullen's resignation speech, was to urge the new council to forget party lines and work for the betterment of the University as a whole.
The Chancellor jokingly spoke of his three votes for president during the last election, and said the reason for not getting more was because of "lack of campaign facilities." He pointed out the usefulness of student government and accomplishments of the M.S.C. during the past year.
Guests at the banquet included Mr. Henry Werner, adviser of men. Professors Stene and Maddox, faculty constitutional advisers, Bob Marietta, c'40, and Seth Gray, b'41, presidents of the P.S.G.L. and Pachacamac poetics respectively, Raymond Nichols, Chancellor's secretary, and representatives of the Daily Kansan.
Bean Rations Are Cut For R.O.T.C. Barbecue
The annual R.O.T.C. barbecue, according to Sgt. Wm. Kolldender, has been set for May 22, and will be "bigger and better than ever except for an attempt to economize on the number of beans that will be served." Always before, Kolldender says, they have served no less than 9,999 beans, but this time the number will be cut down to 9,998.
Beginning at 4:30 the infantry unit and the coast artillery corps will march to the football field in Memorial stadium for the presentation of the year's medals and awards. The barbecue will follow the parade.

Climax to a day's festivities on the campus for the parents, the banquet provided an excellent opportunity for them to meet the new executive who rides at the helm of the University their children attend. Chancellor Malott greeted personally almost every one of the fathers and mothers who were present at the dinner as they passed through the main lobby of the Memorial Union building.
A novel idea this year was the dispensing of ribbons to the parents, one type bearing the words, "K.U. Mother." and the other reading, "K.U. Father." The school colors were used in the ribbons.
For entertainment the parents were treated to vocal numbers by a women's sextet and trio, and the Men's Glee Club.
The presentation of prizes was by C. H. Mullen, c'40.
Department of French Receives Book From France
Wm. H. Shoemaker, professor of romance languages, has received a book from the French government to be presented to the most outstanding student in the department of French this year.
The title of the book is Des Paysages de France, written by Jean Bonnerot, and is said to be an authoritative study of French landscapes. It contains many illustrations and is autographed by M. Rene Weiller of the French council who is in Chicago.
This is the second successive year the language department has received the French scholarship award. Last year's prize book went to Rosemary Jones, c'41. The choice of the winner is left to faculty members of the department.

Miss Green demonstrated a number of constructions for constant curves and exhibited several models and drawings. One model demonstrated that it is possible to have a shaft turn without play in a square bearing. Another surprising model proved that the rollers used for moving heavy objects need not have a circular cross section.

Typhoid Vaccination For Students
Following the infection of three students with typhoid fever thought to have been contracted in the University bacteriology laboratory, Dr. N. P. Sherwood, head of the department, announced today that in the future all students enrolling in the course would be "strongly urged" to be innoculated before being admitted to the course.
Doctor Sherwood said that no strict rule would be made to this effect, but intimated that if any students failed to comply with the department's request the matter would be taken up with their parents.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said that the Chancellor was well pleased with the new move.

That youngster of the fraternity world has found itself a home. Tau Kappa Epsilon, the new social fraternity better known as "Teke," next fall will move into the house now occupied by Acacia fraternity at 1541 Tennessee street.
For the past week "Teke" alumni from Kansas City, Mo., have been looking over available sites for the fraternity's home. The selection was announced Sunday night at a dinner-meeting of local, Kansas State, and Kansas City "Tekes."
Acacia fraternity has lived in the house since 1937 when it moved there from Brynwood place which is now the site of the new men's dormitory, Alumni place. Acacia has not yet selected a house for next year.

Editors Play 'Teacher for a Day'
At noon today six Kansas editors paused in their arduous task of teaching journalism classes to pose for a group picture and discuss teaching.

These editors comprised the "editorial faculty" which celebrated Editors' Day today by taking over the reins in the department of journalism.
"My classes are getting darned tired of seeing me," was the only remark Drew McLaughlin, editor of the Miami Republican, Paola, ventured.
The other editors were more subdued. W. A. Blair, editor of the Oswego Independent and state director of printing, said that of his three present vocations, including teaching, he would rather appear in his familiar role as editor. "It's more in my line," he explained.
"These youngsters are good to me," said Carl Brown, editor of the Atchison Daily Globe. "A few more classes with them and I'll feel like doing a spring dance out amidst the lilacs."
nett Review said that although most of his education was gained through practical experience he could "see now some persons would like to teach."

Ed Abels, editor of the Douglas County Republican, said that teaching was different, at least, from his regular work.

Men's Student Councilmen moved last night to give students three new benefits from the increased activity fee they will pay next year.
Jim Burdge, c'41, P.S.G.L., introduced a resolution asking that the Jayhawker, the Daily Kansan, and reduced basketball prices be included in next year's $12 activity fee.
The resolution will be sent to the Board of Regents.
Burdge's proposal met with stiff opposition from Pachacamae. Rising Sun spokesmen insisted that the resolution might deprive

fee and not give the students something tangible for their money.
The Association gets $3.50 (less 3 1-2 per cent) from the present fee. This is more than any other group or organization on the Hill receives from the activity fund.
P. S.G.L. councilmen pointed out that the activity fee, according to Regent head Fred Harris, was raised in an attempt to equalize fees between Kansas State and the University.
Presson Shane, e'41, was elected vice-president of the council at its initial meeting last night. Jim Burdge was named secretary and the treasurer's post went to Lee Huddleston, b'41.
The League insisted that if our fees were made to approach the higher fee at State, students here should receive more benfits. P.S.G.L. felt that it would be unfair to raise the

Restore Stone Wall On Alumni Place
The old stone and iron fence along the north edge of the Alumni Place at the top of Fourteenth street is being restored as it was originally 70 years ago, according to Olin Templin, secretary to the Endowment Association.
The W.S.G.A. meeting originally scheduled for tonight has been called off, according to O'Thene Huff. c'41, president. The regular meeting will be held next Tuesday.
The stone base of the fence has been completely torn down, and is now being rebuilt. Although several of the picturesque iron sections of the old fence have been broken or lost, it is planned by those in charge of the work to mold the needed sections in the University shops.
Increasing cloudiness was forecast for Lawrence and eastern aKnsas tomorrow. Scattered light showers over the state.
MacCann, Fox Win Carruth Poetry Honors
Marking the initial time that the first prize has been withheld, judges selected Richard MacCann's "Soap Box Manifesto" and Maynard Fox's "Kansas Corn" winning poems in the 1940 William Herbert Carruth poetry contest, it was announced today by Prof. W. S. Johnson, head of the department of English.
The winners will divide the $60 second and third prize awards. Kirk Farris, third place winner last year, received honorable mention with "Conversation in an Empty House" and Peggy Smith received the other honorable mention award with "I Lived Through January". Kenneth Lewis, c'39, three times winner of the contest, was last year's winner with "Sonntes From a Dairy."

College Rules Are Simple Once You Know Them
You cannot fail to gain the advantage of a likable approach if you consider your good manners. Rules of etiquette were contrived to make life more pleasant and to make the social machinery run smoother, so why not be correct?
College introductions are simple if you remember that a man is always introduced to a woman. When introducing small groups it is best to use first and last names instead of conventional titles. "Miss Smith, Mr. Jones," is correct but a less formal introduction would be:
Here is the correct form for titles of the faculty: When meeting a professor socially, if he holds the title of doctor, call him that; otherwise call him "professor." If he is an instructor, call him "mister."
The following rules should be observed when cutting in at a dance: The partner who was first dancing with a girl must not cut back on the man who took her from him, though he can cut in on a third man. He

"How do you do?" When men are introduced to each other they always shake hands. When a man is introduced to a woman it is her place to offer her hand or not, as she chooses. She does not remove her glove when she offers her hand.
To be acceptable, slang in your conversation must be fresh and applicable. To be most effective, it should be used sparingly. A tactless person rushes into the conversation with what ought not to be said.
Since nearly all rules of etiquette are elastic, the suitable thing, useful for the occasion is in good taste. If you would make yourself liked, become enthusiastic about the interest of others, and generous in outward expressions and good manners.

"I WORK for the electric company, and when I tell the boys rates have gone down, they say, 'Why don't our bills go down?"
"Now all those fellas pay money to bowl, yet they don't give it a second thought. I suppose because they see what they get. It would be the same if they bought an extra pack of cigarettes. But electric service, that's different. When they want to do somethin' nice for their wives they buy some electric appliance to make the housework lighter. Or they buy an electric razor for themselves. They get lots of comfort and pleasure out of those gadgets. But when the bills come in they forget how much they got for that money.
"The reason some bills don't go down is that most people use a lot more electricity than they used to. All the boys have electric light, a radio, a washing machine and a toaster in their homes, and most of 'em have electric ice-boxes and vacuum cleaners too. Yet it doesn't cost 'em much more, if any, to operate all those things than it used to cost for light alone, because rates have been cut just about in half during the last twelve or fifteen years."
"If we could sell electric service by the pound, people could see what they get. They'd realize how much they use and how many jobs it does. And they'd appreciate how much less it costs now.
"I'm glad to he in a job where I help people get more of the good things of life. All of us at the plant feel that way. We know people depend on us to give them better service for less money, and that's just what we aim to do."

Burge Faces Rockhurst Kansas To Play Hawks Tomorrow Dr. Allen Scores Again With Goal-Hi Invention
By Larry Winn
The K.U. baseball team hit a new low this last weekend when the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who had lost their starting four games in the conference, whipped the Jayhawkers both Friday and Saturday afternoons.
THE BIGGEST STAR on the cinders of Kansas high school tracks this season is Alfred Woods, Coffeyville high school sophomore, who broadjumped 24 feet, 4 inches last Saturday. This mark is most outstanding for any high school jumper, and it lacks only 7 inches of breaking the world record held by Jesse Owens, of 24 feet, 11 inches, set in 1933, for interschastic competition.
Coach Mike Getto's diamond team just doesn't seem to have the old fire or pepper. Fairly good pitching, backed by a weak infield, and a none too strong outfield, is this corner's opinion of the Kansas team. Our hitters just can't seem to pull through in the pinch, nor do they pull through any too often.
The Kansas golf and tennis teams, which split their matches with the Cornhuskers in Lincoln last weekend, will take on the Washburn net and link teams here this afternoon. The K.U. golfers won over the Huskers at Lincoln, while the Jayhawk netmen won only one point against the tennis players from the same school.
I'll put my money on the Ichabod net team against Coach "Dutch" Urhlaub's men this afternoon, but the golf team of Ritchie, Wakeland, Lagree, and McElhenny will probably down the Ichabod linkmen.
POOR OLD YANKS . . . . The world champions just can't seem to get under way, but many fans still give the Yankees the nod in the American league. But so far, the Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians, and Detroit Tigers seem to be the teams to beat in that circuit. The Brooklyn Dodgers are still burning up the National league, having lost only one game so far.
MORE HONORS go to Nile Kinnick, Iowa football star, who received unanimous All - American honors, has again been honored, this time by his University, when he was awarded membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Nile seems to be following in the footsteps of Byron "Whizzer" White, of Colorado.
Latest developments along the Olympic lines, tell us that the United States will have try-outs in Los Angeles some time late in July . . . This meet should find the best that the U.S. has to offer, in competition.
IT LOOKS LIKE Ancil Hoffman, manager of Max and Buddy Baer, is bringing Buddy up along the right lines in the fight game. . . . Maybe he has finally realized that Maxie could have been one of the best champions ever, if the playbay had been handled right.
By Bob Trump, c'43
By way of preparation for the coming series with the Oklahoma Sooners, Mike Getto will take his Jayhawk baseball team to Kansas City tomorrow afternoon, where they will play the Rockhurst Hawks in a game which was postponed last Tuesday because of rain.
John Burge will be the starting hurler for Kansas, while "Sugar" Cain is a possible pitching choice for Rockhurst. Huskers Trounce Kansas
Although they dropped both games of last week's series to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and are at present firmly entrenched in last place in the Big Six standings, the Jayhawks showed considerable improvement over their play earlier in the year. Errors, both mental and mechanical, were less numerous, and the infielders and outfielders seemed more sure of themselves.
Coach Getto has seemingly found a combination which works smoothly, and for this reason he is standing pat on his lineup for the Rockhurst game. The infield will consist of Jack Sands at first base, Knute Kresie on second, Ray Nepier at short stop, and Dorus Munsinger at third. In the outfield will be Larry Hensley, Miller Cameron, and Eldreth Cadwalader. Monte Merkel will do the catching.
Stress Defense
During yesterday's practice session, the Kansas coach stressed defensive
work and base running. As usual the batters had an opportunity to sharpen their eyes and engage in hitting practice. Tonight, Getto plans to hold a five or six inning game between the freshmen and the varsity.
Following the Rockhurst encounter tomorrow, the Jayhawks will have only one day in which to prepare for their series with the Oklahoma Sooners on Frisay and Saturday. Oklahoma Good
All the ballyhoo which has been coming out of Norman recently about the Oklahoma nine is interesting, but unnecessary. The Sooner's record speaks for itself. Undefeated in four conference starts and way out in front in the race for the Big Six championship, their most recent achievements include a crushing double victory over the Iowa State Cyclones and a decisive triumph over the Texas Longhorns—one of the greatest intercollegiate baseball teams in the country.
One disadvantage, which was unlooked for and which will work hardship on the team, is the injury of Kenny Hamilton, a fast quarter-miler. Hamilton pulled the muscles in his leg badly during the Wildcat dual in the mile relay, and he will probably not be ready to run at Columbia in the dual meet with Missouri next Saturday. He has difficulty in walking on the leg at all now.
Ray Harris will run in the Saturday meet if he feels he can take the strain, but he will have the competition of Munski, Msisouri's gift to an already fine track team. Hargiss now leaves the choice of the date of running up to Harris. Ray says he will probably be all right in a few days.
"Cold, bad weather has kept the Jayhawkers from coming through this season." Hargiss declares. Injuries are frequently suffered.
Believe It Or Not:
Ken Pulls Leg Muscle
Warm weather aided the limbering of sore muscles obtained in the Kansas State meet Saturday. Nearly all of the distance, relay, and sprint runners were training.
The longest race ever run was from New York to San Francisco in 78 days.
By Bill McKinley, c'41
Dr. F. C. Allen scored again with his new game of goal-hi. Goal-hi was conceived and developed by Dr. Allen last summer, as an interesting and healthful exercise game for people of all ages, and as a lead-up game to basketball.
A general, light workout was taken yesterday afternoon by the Kansas trackmen, in the Memorial stadium under the prodding tutelage of Coach Bill Hargiss.
From government figures showing that more than eighty million people are annually paying admissions to see basketball games, it can be seen that basketball is a popular sport. Realizing this, and also that it is confined to a short winter season, Dr. Allen
developed goal-hi, because it can be played the year-round both indoors and outdoors. Play With One Goal
This week the Kansas City Sporting Exposition is putting on a goalhi tournament in Kansas City, under
In goal-hi, a circular court is used with the single goal-hi standard in the center of the court, thus having little or no chance for the ball to go out of bounds. Half-way between the out-of bounds court line and the goal-hi standard, is another circle which serves as the free throw line and divides the court into two scoring zones. Baskets made from the outer zone, count an additional point. A third circle around the Goal-Hi standard is called the restraining circle, which eliminates congestion around the standard as certain rules prevent attempts to score from within the restraining circle. The same goal-hi standard can be used by elementary, junior high schools, or college teams for the standard is adjustable and can be raised or lowered to 8, 9, or 10-foot heights.
Hamilton Out Of Tiger Meet With Bad Leg
the supervision of the police benefit fund. At the completion of the tournament, Saturday or Sunday, Dr. Allen will present a trophy to the winner of the first goal-hi tour- nament.
Letters Pour Into Allen
In the December issue of the Athletic Journal, Dr. Allen wrote an article explaining goal-hi. In response to his article, hundreds of people all over the United States wrote him desiring more information about the game and inquiring where they can obtain equipment.

Kansans Play habod Golf; Tennis Teams
The Kansas golf and tennis teams are playing return matches with Washburn college this afternoon on the local courts and links. The matches were originally scheduled for April 17, but rain caused postponement.
In the matches played with the Ichabods at Topeka, May 1, the golf team won their matches 10 1-2 to 7 1-2, but the tennis team lost to the undefeated Washburn netmen by a 5 to 1 win. The Ichabod netmen came to Lawrence today with a string of 7 consecutive victories this season.
Dean Ritchie and Bob Lagree tied for medalist honors, to dead the Jayhawker golf team to its second victory over Nebraska. $11\frac{1}{2} - 6\frac{1}{2}$ in matches played at Lincoln Saturday. The University tennis team lost by the identical score, 5 to 1, as in the previous meet with the Huskers.
Conrad Voelker was the only point winner in the tennis matches. All other matches were lost in straight sets to the strong Nebraska team. Howard Engleman, varsity number 1 man, failed to make the trip to Nebraska, and Bob Minor filled his position in matches.
Bob LaGree turned in his lowest hole of the season, when he earned his 78 at Lincoln. LaGree, playing in three of the last four matches in the number 4 position, has been consistently touring the 18 holes in the low 80's.
Dean Ritchie, varsity captain has paced the Jayhawk Big Six defending champions in every meet but the first, and has yet to lose a match this season. Rod Wakeland shot an 81 against the Huskers to win his match, but Bill McElheny had a bad afternoon and soared to an 89. A strong wind sweeping across the course kept medal scores high.

Cluster Allows Acacia's 1-Hit
One of the best exhibitions of pitching seen on the intramural fields in weeks, was Bob Cluster's performance yesterday against the potentially powerful Acacia team. Cluster gave only one hit in the entire game and no man crossed home plate as his Delta Tau mates fielded flawlessly behind him. The Delt's took advantage of the many walks given them, to run up a total of 13 runs. The scores was 13-0. Sigma Nu 18, Sigma Chi 7
The Sigma Nu's got away to a seven-run lead in the first inning and added to it in every following stanza, to defeat the Sigma Chi squared by the score 18-7. The Sigma Chi's made a vain effort to rally in the final frame, but the four tallies they were able to score, was far short of the needed runs.
The Newman Club and the Hillside Club were forced to play an extra inning before the ultimate winner could be determined. The Hillside boys built up a four-run lead in the fourth, only to have it halved in the last half of the inning by the Newmans. In the fifth, the Newman Club went ahead by virtue of a four-run rally, but the Hillside Club scored one run in their half of the eighth inning to win 7-6.
Alpha's Continue
Sigma Alpha Epsilon continued its winning streak, by trouncing the Phi Delta Theta team by the score of 17-5. Bill Hall, the winning pitcher, struck out 10 men. Batting power was supplied by Ewers of Sig Alf, who got four safeties in his five trips to the place. The Alph's scored 10 runs in the opening inning. Al Sleeper pitched for the losers.
I. S.A. put on the power in their game and defeated the Kappa Eta Kappa team by the score of 16-7. They scored at least one run in every inning. Krelszmeir pitched for the winners and Rippey was the losing hurler.

Wrong Bait for Adolph
The practice of setting a price on a head of a "wanted man" as an efficient means of bringing him to justice has been tried throughout the ages. King John placed a handsome reward for the capture of Robin Hood, the merry outlaw. Buccaneer Jean LaFitte came to terms when a like offer was made for his capture. Applied negatively, the same principle is used in the kidnapper's ransom. And it is the identical means employed by Gang Busters everywhere in bringing the criminal to justice each Saturday night over your favorite radio station.
But somehow one just can't imagine a battery of "soldiers of fortune" making a belated dash to take up Samuel Hardin Church's offer of one million dollars for Adolph.
While one is always ready to lend his moral support to the advancement of scientific criminology and he is aware that the capture of Adolph would be a prime example with which to uphold the adage that "crime does not pay", he thinks this idea is sheer impossibility. Unless the M.S.C. calls for a new election in District I, unless K.U. wins the Big Six football championship in 1941, unless the Chancellor decides to lift the smoking ban, and unless the W.S.G.A. produces another musical comedy next year, one can only guess that Church's group has about as much chance of snaring Hitler with a million dollars worth of bait, as one has of catching a housefly with a mousetrap.

YOU SAID IT
Those Evening Cokes
For the information of hill "hosts" and jelly-joint keepers, all students drinking bottled cokes after six p.m. are not drunks, and most of them resent being taxed a nickel extra for the left-handed compliment of being so considered.
Editor, Daily Kansan:
Theoretically, the six o'clock deadline on nickle cokes was invoked by temperance-minded proprietor-reformers to stop "spiking," or at least, to compensate them for putting up with drunks. Actually, the levy hits the sober student more often than the drunk. For despite the opinion of College Humor and the Sour Owl most hill people do very little drinking.
The unanimity of the price hike shows that the move stems from profit rather than moralistic motives. The continued unrestricted sale of beer to minors bears out this contention. Any chance of profit absolves the host of illegal conduct.
This petty clipping will have adverse results if continued. Proof of this lies in the decline in popularity of one of the spots which pioneered this chisling last year.

A bet that the University's Public Relations Council is over-looking: student dandelion brigades similar to the 6nes at the Topeka state house. The buildings and grounds crew have the dandelions practically exterminated but the brigade would make swell publicity. Imagine youth arrayed in battle against the dandelions? Magnificent!

A Magnificent Obsession
Many of those who read "Magnificent Obsession" when was at the peak of its popularity probably felt in some way that there was a power to be derived from giving without receiving any tangible benefit. While not giving too much credence, Lloyd Douglass' thesis (a thesis which has paid Mr. Dougl plenty, if not his readers) it is possible to tell that giving to t drive for money to aid Chinese students will be repaid by so ineffable satisfaction.
In the main, our chief argument against contributions foreign charities is that "charity begins at home." Our charity should "begin at home." But isn't there something we can that will show a protest of American youth against the inhum crimes in Europe and Asia? So little is being done in t frightened world for the oppressed; so little can be done by thwould if they only could.
A way does exist, however, to aid those students who versities have been bombed and gutted by fires. True, it wo be much; it can't be—we're too poor ourselves. But we can go what little we can afford to show our appreciation of the valor those Chinese students who are managing to keep the light education burning in a nation overrun by invading hordes, donation of a little small change may keep us from drinking coke with the girl-friend or playing a couple of rounds or marble machine, but don't you think it will, in some way, worth it?
Life Begins---- At 121 Years of Age Negress Starts Manhunt
Thomasville, Ala—(UP)—Maybe it's spring, or maybe this balmy Southern climate. Anyway, Scilla Foreman, 1 year-old Negress, wants to get married again.
Skeptics doubt the aged Negress is 121, but members of family and white people who have known her for many deca figure that's about right. ___

She said she was sitting on a bench behind a cabin with her lover when the stars fell in 1833. One of her daughters was old enough to set the table at the Boroughs home when the Civil War ended in 1865.
She used to tell of coming to Alabama from South Carolina on a mule, and of being sold to Boroughs family as a slave, but now her mind is tired and cloudy and she speaks little.
Until she dislocated her hip in 1933, she was active, and until four years ago she had to thread the needle so

Dandelions Can Stay In Cages, Says Gardener
Andy Elson, the University's head gardener, hates dandelions. They may be all right for animal trainers, but not for the University lawn, says Andy.
For 18 years, weeds, especially dandelions, have flourished on the campus. Van Horbeek, the old gardener, liked them; they were as pretty as tulips or jonquils to him.
Then he died, and Andy Elson was appointed head gardener. And now, at last, the dandelions are going the way of all seed bothersome to gardeners.
Andy says there are three ways to kill dandelions. Iron sulfate may be spread thinly over the area, four pounds per 100 square feet to
smother them; gasoline may jected into each little plant; or be just dug, dug, dug.
Andy graduated from Ka State College in 1933 in lands architecture. For two years he employed by the State High commission, planting shrubs a state roads. He has been head gerner at the University for the two years.
Andy is very proud of the liblawn. According to him, prewatering can take care of any w situation. If thoroughly wetted de each week, a growth of grass soon be so thick that there i room for weeds to flourish.

Kansas Editors Teach Classes
Six Kansas editors, bringing with them knowledge gained from many years in the newspaper business, taught classes in the department of journalism today. This is the department's third annual editor's day.
The editors took their academic assignments seriously as they elected Carl Brown, editor of the Atchison Globe, chairman of the "faculty for a day."
Other editors who carried on for the regular faculty were: Drew McLaughlin, editor and publisher of the Miami Republican, Paola; Earl L. Knauss, editor and manager of the Garnett Review; W. A. Blair, state director and publisher of the Oswego Independent; L. B. Dobbs, publisher of the Enterprise Journal; Williamsburg; and Ed Abels, editor and publisher of the Douglas County Republican, Lawrence.
At noon the visiting editors were guests of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon held at the Eldridge hotel. Dr. T. Z. Koo spoke on "What China Needs."
This evening the editors are guests of the Daily Kansan at the annual Kansan Board banquet held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Robert Reed, news editor of the Kansas City Star, will be the main speaker. Also included on the program of the banquet will be: the annual edition of the Pee Wee Kansan, a paper written by students in journalism poking fun at the department; Prof. L. N. Flint will make his annual awards to the students writing the best news stories, editorials, and feature stories. The Henry Schoot prize will be awarded to the most promising junior man in the department and the Jack Penfold prizes in photography will be given to the students showing the most interest and progress in the course in news photography.
Bill Duce To Head Pachacamac Party
Bill Douce, c'41, was yesterday elected president of Pachacamac party for next year. Other officers selected were: Faul Wise, c'42, vice-president; John Somers, c'42, secretary; Gene Whetstone, c'43, treasurer; and David Watermulder, c'42, sergeant-at-arms.
Seventy-five girls attended the annual Jay Jane election tea from 3 to 4:30 this afternoon in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building. Miss Florence Black presided at the tea table.
Jay Janes Hold Election Tea
From this group, which was chosen from those who attended another tea a week ago, 27 new members of the Jay Janes, women's pep organization, will be selected tomorrow. Women will be elected from sororities, organized houses, and independents.
These new pledges will bring the enrollment to 52 which is four more than have previously belonged. Pledging services will be held in two weeks. Names of new members will be announced Thursday.
New Men's Dormitory Steeped in Tradition
The 65 University men who next fall move into the now-being-remodeled Brynwood place will have a home steeped in Lawrence history and tradition.
At one time the beautiful home at the brow of Fourteenth street hill was nationally known as an art gallery and it has always been one of the school and city's most exhibited sites.
The grounds, comprising more than two acres, were originally owned by Governor Robinson. Shortly after the Civil War, the
The grounds, owned by Governor Robinson. land was sold to a Mr.Baker of Kansas City who built the original house.
The present reconditioning project is the third complete over-hauling the house has undergone.
In the Gay Nineties, Brinton Woodward of Kansas City purchased the place, remodeled it, gave its它 name by taking the first part of his two names, and in time made it nationally famous by bringing in fine paintings and rare books.
After the death of Mr. Woodward in 1919, the Acacia fraternity bought Brynwood place, gave it another
face-lifting, and enlarged it by adding a dormitory on the third floor. They retained the original name, and had it for their chapter house until 1937, when they moved to Tennessee street.
Until last fall, when the University took over the place for a men's dormitory, Brynwood was vacant.
From now on this home will be officially known as Alumni place, but the old-timers and those who know its history will still remember it as Brynwood place, one of Lawrence's most noted sites.
Westminster Choir Sings in Topeka
The Westminster A Cappella Choir of 70 voices gave its first out-of-town concert yesterday at Topeka, under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout. Presenting a spring concert at the Presbyterian church, the choir sang 13 unaccompanied numbers, including early classic, Russian, Negro spirituals, and modern secular numbers from Poulenc and Kodaly.
Next Sunday evening at the Methodist church in Ottawa, the choir will give its next program, which will be a union service for all the churches of the city. The final home concert by the choir is scheduled for Sunday evening, May 19, at the First Presbyterian church.
Dean and Mrs. Henry Werner were dinner guests at the Jayhawk Co-op last night.

Senior Recital Combines Voice, Piano Tonight
A combination vocal-piano Senior recital will be given at 8 o'clock tonight in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall. Ariouine Goodjohn, fa'40, soprano from the studio of Joseph Wilkins, will present several groups of voice numbers, and Eva Ruth Meinke, fa'40, a pupil of Ruth Orcutt, will play a number of piano solos.
The Summerfield Scholarships are provided at a cost of $20,000 a year by Solon E. Summerfield, a graduate of the University. These assure between forty and sixty Kansas boys a full four-year course. They are chosen by competitive examinations of high school graduates and naturally are outstanding students in every way. The presence of this group on the campus exerts influence for better scholarship and better student organizations in many ways.
Miss Goodjohn is a member of the Women's Glee Club, Mu Phi Epsilon, Alpha Chi Omega, and had an important role in "Blossom Time" here two years ago. Miss Meinke was recently elected to Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary musical sorority, receiving the gold key as the highest ranking student. She is president of the Fine Arts student body, a member of W.S.G.A., Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary music sorority, Mortar Board and Jay Janes.
Included among Miss Goodjohn's vocal solos will be "Kind Fortune Smiles" (Purcell), "Now the Sheep Secure are Grazing" (Bach), "Die Kartenlegerin" (Schumann), "Fur Musik" (Franz), "Er Ist's" (Wolf), "Segudeille" (Bizet), "Mam'elle Marie" (Guion), and "Joy" (Winter Watts).
Miss Meinke will play on the piano: "Organ Prelude in G Minor" (Bach-Slioti), "Theme and Variations in A Major" (Paderewski), "Whippo-will" (Orcutt), "The Dripping Tap" (Benbow), "Aragon" (Longas), and "Concerto in A Minor" (Schumann).

Typhoid---has returned to school within the past week. Shifrin was admitted to the hospital on April 17, and Fields contracted the fever on May 1.
Although their conditions are satisfactory, both Shifrin and Fields will be out of school for the rest of the semester. Dr. R. I. Canutones, director of the student health service, reported today. "Typhoid patients run a high fever for three weeks and then another six or eight weeks must elapse before they are well enough to leave their beds," he said.
Doctor Canuteson deplored the fact that Kansas had no requirements for immunization or vaccination against any disease.
The strains used in the bacteriology laboratory are supposed to be avirulent, but the infected students all lived in different houses, ate at different places, and apparently had no contact with the disease except in the laboratory.
Dr. Sherwood said that this was the first instance in 30 years where students have contracted a fever in the laboratory. He believed that the three men had been careless in taking care of themselves after handling the cultures.
Teke's To Get---the fraternity is settled in its Tennessee street home.
Oliver Simmons (Illinois University), Orman Wannamaker, '39 James Logan (Washington University), Everett Tenbrook (Illinois University), and Lawrence Staple (Ohio State) were the alumni selecting the house for the University "Tekes."
Although the Acacia house has been definitely selected, complete arrangements have not been made as to whether the place will be rented or purchased. Mrs. J. E. Hut of Kansas City, Mo., is the owner of the property.
The local group is known as Eta colony of Tau Kappa Epsilon. 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 difficulties with the administration.
The Chicago chapter will be transferred here sometime next fall after

MacCann, Fox---made from homespun rags would make it plausible that Whittier's trousers were used, authorities feel.
The poetry contest was begun in 1927 with the establishment of a fund in honor of the late William Herbert Carruth, well-known poet and graduate of the University in 1880. He was for 30 years head of the German department and at one time served as vice-chancellor.
Police Still--made from homespun rags would make it plausible that Whittier's trousers were used, authorities feel.
30 years old, 5 feet 7 inches in height, unmasked, cleanshaven and wearing a dark suit, took the money from the box office while he covered five persons with a revolver.
The holdup took place about 10 p.m., just after Miss Peggy Davis had closed the box office. The loss, which consisted of receipts from the Granada and Patee theaters for Saturday and Sunday, is covered by insurance.
First encountering Miss Davis, as she was going into the office, and then Ray Holmes, manager of the theater, the robber forced the two at the point of his revolver to open safe in the box office and to hand over the money in a paper bag which he provided. During the stick-up, the bandit also ordered three occupants of the lobby, one of which was G. M. Osgood, gr, to keep quiet.
He threatened Holmes several times during the holdup as the manager attempted to bluff him. He apparently escaped through the canopied bus drive to the alley where his car was parked.
Miss Davis remembered selling the bandit a ticket earlier in the evening.
Holmes, accompanied by members of the sheriff's staff, went to Kansas City Monday to inspect police photos but the man was not identified.
Brown Paroled; Palmer's Trial Slated Tomorrow
Reuben Brown, c42, 21-year-old former house-man at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property before Judge Hugh Means in yesterday's session of Douglas county district court and was paroled.
Brown faced charges of burglary in connection with a theft at the Holyfield Music store but was paroled from the charge by Judge Means after he entered a plea of guilty to receiving stolen property yesterday afternoon.
Lewis Troy plead guilty to his charge of second degree manslaughter yesterday and received a sentence of 3 to 5 years in the state penitentiary from Judge Means. Troy was charged with the manslaughter count in connection with the death of Earl H. Harris, who was killed in Troy's house last February 20.
The trial of Robert Palmer, former graduate student of the University, is scheduled for tomorrow. Palmer is charged with possession of intoxicating liquor.
Poets Trousers Thought Used In Rugs on Display

Two carpets were made by Whittier's sister. The fact that they were

Support Comes From State
The University of Kansas receives virtually no support from the Federal Government. The entire support of the R.O.T.C. is paid by the Government, and $1,000 of the cost of the home economics department comes from Federal funds. All other funds come either from state legislative appropriations, students fees, or earning of auxiliary departments.
Athletics and physical education take a healthy place in the program of interests at the University. Kansas won the Big Six championship in 1930, tied for second in the standing in 1932, was third in 1935 and 1937, and has had a fighting team in the field every year. In basketball the K.U. team has been champion of its conference seven times in the past 10 years. In track the Jayhawkers consistently have had great stars such as Bausch and Cunningham.

Engineers Go to Polls Tomorrow
Engineers will conduct their own private political feud at the annual election Thursday when three executive positions and class and departmental representatives on the Engineering Council will be filled.

Webb Miller Dies Today
London, May 8, — (UP) — Webb Miller, famous United Press reporter who flew 400,000 miles for news and risked his life under fire in four major wars, was found dead today beside a railroad track—aparently the victim of prosaic accident during the London blackout.
He had just covered Prime Minister Chamberlain's historic statement in Commons on the British withdrawal from Norway, but his war correspondent's kit was packed

R.O.T.C. Barbecue Gets Full Ration of Beans
William Allen White, Emporia editor, will deliver the annual achievement address at the meeting of the alumni association
In the story, Sergeant Kollender stated that everything would be as usual at the coming barbecue, except for the necessity of economizing on the number of beans. Always before he had cooked 999,999 beans, but this time that number would have to be cut down to 999,998.
Sergeant Wm. Kollender, assistant instructor in the department of military science, received a fan-mail letter on his story that recently appeared in the Kansan about his attempt to economize on the number of beans to be cooked at the coming barbecue, May 22.
Yesterday he received the following letter from Al Green, exchairman of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, who has been confined to his bed for the past five months with a serious heart ailment.
I have enjoyed many a feed prepared by you. I think you are the best bean baker in the world (with the exception of myself).

Great Britian Political War In Spotlight
By Joe Alex Morris United Press Foreign Editor
A tumultuous political battle on Great Britain's home front today overshadowed operations on European military fields and appeared linked to a series of rumors and alarms in neutral states.
The British labor party sought to bring to a climax the fight against the cabinet of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain by announcing that a vote of non-confidence in the government would be sought when debate ends tonight in the House of Commons.
Political observers in London were inclined to believe that Chamberlain's conservative party with 374 out of 615 members of Commons would rally to defeat the opposition move, but it was admitted that there might be sufficient conservative abstentions to embarrass the cabinet.
In any event, the Chamberlain prestige has been battered as a result of the failure of the British expedition to central Norway and the Prime Minister was in for still more trouble with such orators as David Lloyd George, Liberal leader, on the firing line in Commons.
The rumors—mostly false—that spread through Europe coincident with the British political rumpus appeared to have originated as a part of the belligerent strategy and to come from both sides.
In Budapest, the official news agency denied reports that Germany had demanded permission for Nazi troops to enter Hungary—one of the series of wild reports coming out of the Balkans in the last few days.
375 Hear T.Z. Koo Speak At Bowl of Rice Supper
About 375 people were present in the Union ballroom last night to hear Dr. T. Z. Koo speak at the Bowl of Rice supper. This supper, attended by students, faculty members, and Lawrence townpeople, was the climax of the University drive to secure funds for needy Chinese students.
Dr. Koo said that Chinese students are thinking of the possibilities for China's reconstruction after the present war and are looking to the youth of America for guidance and help. He quoted the generalism of the Chinese armies, General Chiang Kai Chek as saying that "Students can best serve their country by completing their education."
"Although China's history has been filled with wars, they have never been considered prime requisites for the Chinese civilization.
If this student generation is lost, it will leave a gap nothing can fill," Dr. Koo remarked.
The nation-wide drive for funds is exceeding last year's drive by $8,000, according to Doctor Koo. Last night the University drive had taken in $150 and it is expected to be increased today.
J. R. Holmes, chairman of the Lawrence drive, spoke on the Tag Day which is being held downtown Saturday. Charles Wright, fa'42 and Alice Jones, c'41, urged those present to contribute to the University Tag Day fund which is being held today. Final instructions to Tag Day workers were given by Bob McKay, c'40, chairman of the Tag Day committee.
Donald DeFord, c'40, was master of ceremonies, and Ed Price, c'42, and Jean Stouffer, c'41, were in charge of dinner arrangements.

Diamond Team To Meet High Ranking Sooners In Two-Game Series
Women's Intramurals
By CECIL KING
Big gun in the Sooner attack recently has been Herb Scheffler, tall basketball player, who doubles as a first baseman. Scheffler had a big day against Iowa State last week, driving in five runs. He collected three for five that day, two doubles and a home run.
Practice teachers of the physica education department visited Wyandotte High School, Kansas City, Kan., Westport Junior High School, Central Senior High School, and (Continued on page five)
Two recitals will be heard over K FKU beginning at 9:45 this evening. The first is a violin recital presented by Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin. Helen Mae Peters, ed'41, contralto, is second on the program.
Any question as to the caliber of the Sooner team was settled yesterday when the O.U. nine completed a sweep of its two-game series with Texas' brilliant team by downing the Longhorn's 7-6. The previous day Oklahoma had won 6-5.
Two Recitals on KFKU Tonight
One of the three or four best college baseball teams in the country, the Oklahoma Sooners, tangles with the Jayhawk nine here Friday and Saturday.
Kansas To Play League Leaders Here This Week
Scheffler Is Big Gun
The scheduled Kansas - Rockhurst baseball game at Kansas City this afternoon, was postponed because of rain, Coach Mike Getto announced this morning.
BULLETIN
In the first game with Texas, Scheffler drove in a brace of runs, with two hits in four trips to the place, a triple and a single. Scheffler has played considerable semi-pro ball.
Another basketball player, Ralph Bollinger, also has been powdering the ball. Bollinger covers a lot of ground in center field. 'Popeye' May Be Back
"Popeye" Lasater, crack little second baseman of the Sooners, missed the first game of the Texas series due to a bruised hip, but may be able to play here. Ed Riley filled in for Lasater in that game and got two hits in four trips.
The Sooners are undefeated in conference play and look like a sure in for the Big Six title. The O. U. speedsters are strong in every department and run the bases like wildmen.
The Sooners did not play in Lawrence last year, but were in action here in 1938. Oklahoma won a pair of games from the Jayhawks then, and are favored to turn the trick again Friday and Saturday.
Pope Has Slow Ball
Ace of the Oklahoma mound staff is Jimmy Pope, veteran hurler, who slow-balled Texas to death in the game Monday. Best of the Sooner's sophomore pitchers is John Heath. Last year's O. U. pitching star, R. B. Deal, turned pro this spring.
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
Here we are back in the grove again with this weather that makes sports coaches and participants pull their hair.
Yesterday, the K.U. golf team eked out a 10/2 to 7/3 victory over the Washburn Ichabons on the Lawrence Country Club course, but the tennis match between the two schools was washed out. The Washburn netmen have yet to be defeated, so judge for yourself which team would have won the net matches.
FROM THE WEST COAST comes the news that a University of California freshman named Grover Klemmer, is burning up the western cinder tracks in the middle-distance runs. . . He has been clocked by his coach, Brutus Hamilton, in 47 flat for the quarter-mile, 1.53.5, for the half-mile, and 21.3 for the 220-yard dash. . . This is plenty fast in anybody's record books.
Meanwhile, from down in the "deep south" come more outstanding performances by freshmen tracksters. Mac Umstadt, of the University of Texas, has been running the half-mile around 1.537 with little competition. Umstadt is originally from Detroit, but his father is a professor at Texas, and so Clyde Littlefield is thanking someone for having one certain prof. at the state U... Also from the same state, but from arch-rivals, comes the information that Texas A. and M. has a yearling high jumper who is leaping 6 feet 6 inches with little trouble. His name is Rice, from Texas A. and M. (get it?)
Wouldn't Coach Bill Hargiss love to have some cinderman like coach Dean Cromwell has at Southern California. .
Plug for the "K" Club production. It is going to be a prize to see Bill Beven in the leading feminine role of the latest "K" Club production, "Murder in the Old Red Barn." With a year's experience in the chorus, is Monte Merkel, 230 pound tackle, who will pair up with 150-pound Chester Gibbens. John "Eyes" Narramore will make another attempt to "steal the show" like he did in last year's success.
Eddie Brietz tells us in his column, that Dr. Eddie Anderson, Iowa football mentor, has three boys to fill the left-half-back position, left vacant this year by Nile Kinnick. If he has three men as good as Kinnick, he will have a hard team to stop.
OUTSTANDING young hurler of the season is Hal Newhauser, 18-year old left-hander for the Detroit Tigers, who has won two games for the automobile city team. . . Not bad for a boy who has never graduated from high school. . . He put the New York Yankees down in defeat yesterday by a score of 4 to 2.
Basketball Committee Approves New Backboard
A modified backboard has been approved by the National Basketball Rules Committee, after extensive study over a period of years, according to word received by Dr. F. C. Allen from H. V. Porter, secretary of the committee.
Correspondence since the national meeting indicates that many of these modified backboards will be erected for use this next season, Porter said. Use of these backboards is optional.
The new style backboard corners are rounded off and considerable waste space at the upper corners of the backboard has been eliminated.
The new style backboard has no sharp corners. All four ___ off and $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $
Such a board contains all the space which is needed for banking purposes. The elimination of all sharp corners and edges will prevent injury to the ball and the elimination of unnecessary surface space appears to have the following advantages:
Five Advantages
1. A more free use of the four-foot end space permits offensive play
A few men like Bob Péoles, who throws the javelin over 200 feet, Johnny Wilson who high jumps above 6 feet 6 inches consistently, Kenny Dill, who pole vaults over 14 feet, LeRoy Weed. who runs the mile around 4:12, and Howard Upton who runs the quarter-mile in 47.5., would certainly strengthen a track team a little. from nearly all directions, and th
trom nearly all directions, and thus
relieves congestion in the lane.
2. Increased visibility of the basket from the corners and ends of the gymnasium.
3. Increased space under the basket from which a goal may be made and chance for a rebounder to escape from congested area.
4. Less complicated bridgework for hanging the backboard since the weight is reduced by nearly one-half, and the span is not so great as to cause warping or twisting.
5. More pleasing streamlined appearance and a better target.
Boards Are Legal
Such boards with a plane surface are legal and may be installed without fear of protest. However, no one is forced to discard the traditional backboard.
Cut Bottom of Board
One of the main differences to be found in this "streamlined" backboard is the fact that, six inches have been taken off the bottom of the board. This gives players, standing
Country's Best Golfers To Play In Goodall Meet
Five of the country's leading professional golfers will compete in the Goodall Golf tournament at the Meadow Brook Country Club, in Flushing, New York, May 16-19.
Jimmy Demaret, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Lloyd Mangrum, and Ralph Guldahl, along with 10 other pros, will attempt to take a large share of the $5,000 purse. The journey is an invitation affair and will bring together some of the best professional golfers in the country
In the Goodall Palm Beach Co tourney, which is considered one of the most difficult golf tests, the 15 pros will be divided into five threesomes, with each performer competing directly against every other entrant in an 18-hole match. First prize goes to the man who highest net total of holes won. Sam Snead won at Cincinnati in 1938, and Harry Cooper last year at Fresh Meadow. With this method of scoring, a pro, by a hot round, can take up a lot of slack, particularly if the other two players in his threesome for that round, are a bit off.
Instrumental in the development of the new style backboard, was the research committee of the national organization. Dr. Allen was chairman of this committee this past year.

Other members of the research committee were: John Bunn, Stanford; H. V. Porter of Chicago; C. Parker, Centenary College; E. J. Hickox, Springfield College; and Floyd F. Rowe, of Cleveland.

Golfers Ring Up Fifth Win In Downpour
Playing on rain-soaked fairways and greens, the Jayhawk golfers rang up their fifth victory, a 10 1-2 to 7 1-2 win over Washburn College, yesterday afternoon on the Lawrence Country Club course. More than an inch of water covered some of the greens.
The tennis meet scheduled with Washburn was cancelled after several attempts at holding the matches on the wet courts were made. The meet was originally scheduled for April 17, but rain that day caused postponement.
Ritchie Leads Jayhawks
Jayhawk golfers were led by Dean Ritchie, who toured the 18 holes in 78, but medalist honors went to Knight, Ichabod number 3 man, who carded a 76. This was the second victory this season over Washburn, the Kansas golfers winning the matches at Topeka May 1, by the same score as yesterday, $10\frac{1}{2}$ to $7\frac{1}{2}$.
Rod Wakeland scored an 80 in winning his match from Barker, Washburn. Bill McElhenny shot an 81, and Bob LaGree an 82. but both lost their matches to Ichabod golfers.
Meet Tigers Saturday
On Friday afternoon, the golf and tennis teams will leave for Columbia for matches with Missouri Saturday. Coach Shannon's golfers split their matches with the Tigers, 9 to 9, in the meet held here April 27. Rain-soaked courts caused postponement of the tennis matches scheduled with the Missouri netmen that day.
The summary:
Golf twosomes — Ritchie, Kansas (78), defeated Wormington, Washburn (80), 3-0; Wakeland, Kansas (80), defeated Barker, Washburn (85), 3-0; Knight, Washburn (76), defeated McElhennany, Kansas (81), 3-0; Murrow, Washburn (81), defeated LaGrece, Kansas (82), 2-1.
Golf foursomes — Ritchie and Wakeland, Kansas, defended Wormington and Barker, Washburn, 3-0; Knight and Morrow, Washburn, defeated McEllenny and LaGre, Kansas, $2\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$.

For the Job Hungry
After a poll of the campus conducted by the Y.M.C.A. showed that 781 students out of 1550 face problems concerning vocations, the administration recognizes the fact by offering the vocational guidance clinic to be held from May 14 to May 23.
The poll illustrates that many of the upperclassmen are still undecided as to a profession. Four hundred and forty-one juniors and 358 seniors are still debating the question of what to do after graduation. In the poll they asked for tests for vocational aptitudes, interviews with men in various fields, reading material on professions, and interviews with teachers about a choice of a career.
The vocational guidance clinic will answer these requests by giving students a chance to gain wider knowledge of the fields which might interest them. W. T. Markham, member of the Board of Regents and a well-known Kansas educator, will open the clinic with an address. Sixty business men and professors are offering their services to the clinic in order that students may consult them on their special problems. Shelves in the library, will be set aside for books dealing with vocations.
The success of the clinic, the first of its kind to be conducted upon this campus, depends upon the interest shown in it by students who need vocational help. Since unemployment is one of the greatest problems facing the country today, a clinic such as this one may help keep college graduates out of the bread lines.

Mere Twaddle
With the advent of spring, sunbathing, tennis, picnics, and most of all crew cuts, the yellow-corduroy element of the University has the loaded-dice chance of defending one of the nation's most important institutions, the American Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Singing. If the nation is to be undefiled as Abraham Lincoln left it, buoyant in its freedom of speech and freedom of the press, then the Sweet-Adeline-warbling barber shop quartet must remain.
The crew-cut trend may be the key to the whole barbarous problem, which began when the "Dipsy Doodle" replaced the "Face on the Barrom Floor" as the nation's favorite. The crew-cut may bring order out of chaos. It's I-want-to-look-like-a-college man victim has to sit longer in the tipping chair and thus has longer to offer suggestions to the barber. It's subject has time to yell for the radio to be turned off and to get friendly enough to suggest a hair-raising rendition of the songs his father loved so well.
But all things included, the student must be loyal with his support. He must himself clear his throat and add a few flat notes to the singing. He must remember that the louder the noise, the more sweet it is to the passing ear. He must tip the hair tonic bottle with the best of them. He must never forget the dime in the barber's hand. He must get down out of his swinging chair, hair-catcher and all and open his voice to the heavens. Most of all, in the best barber shop etiquette, he must never suggest leaving the group until a fourth has come to fill his place in the lung-splitter's quartette.
If all the co-eds in the world that didn't neck were gathered in one room, what would we do with her?

Heaven and Beefsteak
With the Houdini of modern warfare pulling rabbits out of his hat closer and closer to American interests, with thinkers and thinkers' works squirming under the thumbs of Gestapos or near-Gestapos in foreign countries, it is up to America alone to display any brand of hope. Solely in America can any cheerful vision of a future God-filled world remain. For only in the land of beefsteak for dinner and eight hours' sleep can optimism survive.
The average man isn't a Gandhi. He doesn't relish going past even one dinner gong without a meal. In China, Japan, Norway Germany, France, even Britain, that same average man is right now yearning for that of which war may have deprived him—his bowl of rice in a tea house, his herring and potatoes, his zweibach and beer, his poulet et vin, his tea and crumpets. And like anyone else, on an empty stomach, he's cross. He says, "there isn't any God who would let this horrible nightmare go on."
Likewise a too-great lack of sleep brings to him a horrible hoard of wakeful nightmares rather than a visit with the divine. Unconsciously he agrees with Rabelais: that undoubtedly the mystics had visions; that anyone without food and sleep long would have visions—whether they be of pink elephants or heavenly hosts. And the sleep-light soldier in foreign countries is having visions, never fear-not visions of beauty and gladness but of ugliness and hate.
Only in America are there no war guns, no screams of pain, no roaring planes to haunt the sleep. Only in America are there no war rations of tasteless carbohydrates to gnaw at the stomach. Only in America can there be forming the embryo of a new religion which tomorrow will lead hopefully out of chaos.
Every time a solicitor for some foreign charity shows up Americans fluff him off with "charity at home." When campaigners for the fund to bed down the boys in the two dormitories show up, there won't be a good answer except the largest contribution possible.

Fourth Estate Gets Awards For Best Yarns
One of the journalism students annual celebrations was held last night when 80 persons dined and entertained each other in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. It was the Kansan Board banquet and the annual awards by Prof. L. N. Flint were awarded.
Major Bob Reed, news editor of the Kansas City Star, guest speaker of the evening, advised journalism students to get as varied an education as possible, citing the danger in "the tendency to specialize. . . because the man with the broader background and ability is in a better position to develop the news story to its full value." He also advanced the "bief that there is splendid opport-
city for people interested in photography to become great journalists through the increasing need for picture editors, especially, he said. "because the day of color photographs printed the same day the pictures are taken is not far of."
Annual awards to journalism students who have made outstanding contributions in the Daily Kansan's advancement and in their work in general in the department, were made by Professor Flint, head of the department, and Prof. J. J. Kistler.
The Henry Schott Prize for most outstanding work by juniors in the department of journalism was won by Roscoe Born, c'41, and Bill Fey, c'41, who will jointly receive $80 upon their return to school in the fall. Other awards were as follows:
The Penfold Prizes in photography: Ruth Spencer, c'41, and Leilyn Jung, c'40; the Flint awards, for news stories: Gene Kuhn, c'40, with honorable mentions to Jim Bell, c'40, Roscoe Born, c'41, and Reginald Buxton, c'40; for editorials: Reginald Buxton, c'40, with honorable mentions to Betty Coulson, c'41, c'41, Bill Fey, c'41, and Uarda Sherry, c'40; for feature stories: Roscoe Born, c'41, with honorable mentions to Jim Bell, c'40, Gene Kuhn, c'40, and Henry Wright, c'40.
Five students were given the Sigma Delta Chi awards for scholarship by J. J. Kistler, professor of journalism. They are: Richard Boyce, c'40, Harry Hill, c'40, Elizabeth Kirsch, c'40, Marilyn McBride, c'40, and Uarda Sherry, c'40.
Stewart Jones, c'40, was toastmaster at the banquet, and Dale Heckendorn, c'40, was chairman of the committee on awards by students to members of the department.

Great Britain Tightens War Government
By Joe Alex Morris
Great Britain's battered war government fought to remain in power today and inaugurated a drastic program for defense against attack—from within or without—against the British Isles.
Pr Minister Neville Chamberlain, who won a technical majority of 81 votes in the House of Commons but suffered an actual political reverse, gave every indication that he would attempt to remain in office by later re-organization of his cabinet to replace unpopular ministers with energetic new figures.
The outlook for a coalition government including labor leaders continued weak but there was wide speculation on the possibility that Chamberlain would resort to a "technical resignation" by offering his resignation to King George but accepting a commission to form a new cabinet. That would permit him to start anew and eliminate the most severely criticized members, including Air Minister Sir Samuel Hoare and possibly Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir John Simon.
Meantime, Chamberlain took energetic measures in an effort both to repair his government's prestige

Drive for Chinese Aid Expected to Reach $400
The Chinese student on the walk in front of the library has almost reached his new school, according to reports from John J. O. Moore, chairman of the University drive. Returns from the drive early this afternoon amounted to $382.50 and it was expected that the total would reach the $400 goal set for the drive when donations from organizations
and team leaders come in this afternoon.
The fund for the relief of Chinese students has been swelled by sizeable donations from faculty members, $50 from the men's Pan-Hellenic organization, and the $10 received from the benefit mid-week last night.

Osborne To Play Tomorrow
Osborne starts his patented slide performance at 10 o'clock tomorrow night in the Memorial Union ballroom. Closing hours have been set at 1:30 a.m., leaving only one-half hour for post-dance activities.
With Will Osborne's appearance one day away, 270 of the 600 tickets had been sold for the Senior Cakewalk, a check-up at noon today showed.
Not claiming to be one of the nation's tip-of-the-tongue bands, Osborne is one of the standard and consistent type. He has pioneered for moderate heat in music from the beginning.
If you are a radio listener you probably know that Osborne and Rudy Vallee are almost indistinguishable when they sing. And if you have been a radio listener since 1929 you probably remember a bit of a scrap between Vallee and our man Osborne as to who was the first crooner.
Osborne's slide style is obtained by a combination of three slide trumpets and three trombones. The style was first noticed when he was holding forth at the Blackhawk cafe in Chicago.
Osborne's band reached its radio peak when it made 14 broadcasts a week. These weekly broadcast periods reached an all time high for any one band.
Petitions Will Do No Good, Swarthout
Petitions being circulated today in behalf of Miss Olga Eitner, violin instructor who will not be re-hired next year, will have no effect, Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts said today.
Said Dean Swarthout, "The administration regrets to have the happening of such a regrettable situation. Miss Eitner and I are on the best of terms and her work has been excellent, but she must be released from the faculty because a place must be made for another teacher in the piano department. There is not enough demand for the additional violin instructor."
He further added that a well-known teacher would be rehired next year to specialize in theory of the piano, but would not disclose the man's identity.
Winifred Hill, fa'41, president of Mu Phi Epsilon, music sorority, today denied that the petitions had the official sanction of that society. It was later denied by others that the petitions were being backed by either the band, orchestra, or Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity. This morning Dean Swarthout said he believed that the petitions were the efforts of private individuals.
Miss Eitner came to the University two years ago to serve while Prof. Waldemar Geltch took a year's leave to study violin in Europe. She has appeared in numerous recitals on the Hill and gained considerable popularity both in school and in musical circles. At the age of 20

Whatever moves the President has made, if any, or plans to make as a result of increased war tension still remained hidden by official silence.
The Rome report said that Mussolini had rejected an offer of Mr. Roosevelt to attempt another peace effort; that the offer had been submitted to Il Duce by U. S. Ambassador to Rome, William C. Phillips.
The only official word relating to the international situation this week came last night in what the White House said was a "flat denial" of a newspaper dispatch from Rome.
"The White House tonight flatly denied a press dispatch from Rome, saying in effect that President Roosevelt, acting through Ambassador Phillips, had offered Premier Mussolini a mediation or peace plan which the latter had rejected.
The White House statement said:
"The President authorized issuance by the White House of the following statement:
"The report is completely erroneous. It has no basis in fact."
The White House statement did not clarify completely the situation. The Rome report had said that the alleged overture to Mussolini did not contain a specific proposal for peace or mediation, but that only an

Nazis Say Secret Agents Killed U.P. Correspondent
(Continued on page seven)
Berlin, May 9—(UP)The German press, apparently on orders from above, charged today that Webb Miller, general European manager of the United Press, had been murdered by the British Secret Service.
Miller's body was found alongside a railroad track in suburban London yesterday.
Taking their cue from the official news agency, D.N.B., which had circulated the charge last night, today's newspapers featured it under sensational headlines.
(In London, a spokesman for the foreign office commented on the DNB charge as follows: "Mr. Webb Miller, who was held in great respect and affection in both government and journalistic circles in London, met his death by accident. It is understood he was traveling home after debate in parliament, and, opening the wrong door on the railway carriage, was instantly killed by a train approaching on another line. His death is mourned in London where he had a host of friends and not the least in government circles who had reason over a number of years to appreciate him not only as a fine correspondent but as a warm friend.")

League Of Women Voters To Convene Here
Two-Day Session Opens On Campus Tonight
About a hundred delegates are expected for the twenty-first annual state convention of the League of Women Voters which opens its two-day session this evening in the Memorial Union building.
The opening meeting will be at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas room. Two one-act plays based on the life of Lucy Stone and directed by Mrs. J. J. Kistler, and Mrs. Fred Ellsworth will be presented by the Lawrence league. Following this meeting Miss Winnie Lowrance, state president, and Mrs. John G. Stutz, president of the Lawrence league, will be hostesses at a reception for all delegates and visitors in the Old English room.
Two business sessions tomorrow will be devoted to adopting a budget and drawing up a program of work concerned with such questions of government as trained personal, relief, public health, and taxation, according to Miss Lowrance.
"The purpose of the League of Women Voters is political education of women along non-political lines," said Miss Lowrance, "It is an outgrowth of the suffrage movement and is the only organization whose avowed purpose is to educate the electorate."
Governor Payne H. Ratner and Mrs Florence F. Bohrer, Champaign, Ill., national representative, will talk at the dinner Friday night in the Kansas room.
The state executive board will meet at the home of Miss Lowrance this afternoon and Saturday morning for a post-convention session.

Clever Turban Plays Dual Role on the Beach
Well, just to show you what we mean there's the new bag and swimming suit combination. It's about tops in ingenuity, too. Haven't you wandered about your house looking for a suitable container for your bathing suit often enough, only to give up finally and take it toward the sandy shores in a towel? Well, we have!
But one designer had the idea of the ages. She has created a dashing two-piece sun or bathing suit and a
And that's not all! After you've donned the swim suit, you take this same bag, unzip the slide fastener, and presto, change, the bag becomes a handsome turban. After you've had your swim or sun bath, you take off the turban, fold your suit neatly into it, zip it up and skip off home. Could anything be more practical as well as alluring. Incidentally, the outfit is best in printed cotton seer-sucker with the suit and bag both lined with oil silk.

The most coveted summer job for college bands in the Middle West was obtained by the University musicians after a competitive audition last week in which more than 30 other bands over the country competed, among them—Matt Betton from Kansas State, Dick Cissne from the University of Illinois, and bands from New Mexico, Colorado, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
Blackburn's will be the first band to play three seasons at the Riverside amusement park. The other two seasons were in 1931 and 1937.

Lamour Shifts Amour
Hollywood, May 9.—(UP)—Dorothy Lamour turned the tables on Hollywood today.
Returning from a vacation in Hawaii, Miss Lamour bluntly said "I have a new love interest." Most film colony romances develop, so far as the public is concerned, through the stages of rumor, report and confirmation or denial.
She said her new "love" was a tall Virginian, a captain in the Army Air corps. She refused to identify him by name because "He's in line for promotion to the rank of major," and that he had been her escort during her two week vacation.
The actress had been reported engaged to Robert Preston, actor, but "that is definitely off," she said.

145 Engineers Cast Ballots By Noon Today
"Exceptionally calm and clean" is the opinion of George Rippey, retiring president of the Engineering Council, concerning the annual Engineering School election today, to fill three executive positions and class and departmental representatives on the Council.
"There has been no dirt and very little campaigning which is quite in contrast to last year's election," Rippey added.
Only 145 votes had been cast when the polls closed for the noon recess. There are 580 eligible votes in the School.
The ballots will be counted immediately after the polls close at 5 o'clock this afternoon, by an election committee composed of three Council members and two faculty members.

Swoelf Uhr Blatt said: "Secret service against the U.S.A. . . Murder of the chief correspondent of the American News Agency . . Webb Miller was too critical of the government. He was made to 'fall out' of a train."
The Boersen Zeitung, in a special edition, said: "If any further proof were needed of the nervousness which is overtaking leading English circles, it is given by the treacherous murder of Miller. In their perplexity, Miller was too dangerous for the London clique. The world, however, again sees the secret service on the job and experiences the destruction of a man who had too great an integrity to help line up things in the English manner. It will be impossible to make Americans believe that Tuesday evening a train door opened and Miller, of all people, had to suffer fatal injuries by falling onto the tracks. After the Munich outrage, (the bombing of the Nazi beer cellar shrine soon after Adolf Hitler left it) after sabotage action on the Danube, after discovery of explosives among British secret agents in Sweden, now comes this murder. The war will also free the world from the secret service."

Kresie To Face Sooners
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
The schedule for the Kansas sports teams is big this week, with the Jayhawker baseball team meeting the high ranking Oklahoma Sooners on our diamond Friday and Saturday.
The Tigers will probably trounce the Kansas boys, because through bad luck and lack of material, the K.U. track team this year is one of the weakest in the history of track at Kansas. The Crimson and Blue boys have few advantages in any of the field events. We haven't a prayer in a carload, in the high jump, javelin, shot put or discus. We might be able to garner a few points in the broad jump is J. R. Jones' back is all right.
Then on Saturday, the K.U. cinder team will journey to Tigerland, where they will meet the Bengals in a dual meet. Although Kenny Hamilton will be out of the meet with a pulled leg muscle, there is a possibility that Ray Harris will be back in form to give "Lonesome" John Munski some stiff competition in the distance runs. Harris is the Big Six outdoor two-mile, champion.
THE HIGH-FLYING Boston Red Sox and the topsy-turvy New York Yankees, open a three-game series in the Yankee stadium tomorrow . . . The Sox and the Yanks were pre-season favorites to battle it out for the American League championship right now . . . Boston is leading the league and the Yanks have unchallenged possession of the cellar position . . . Up to today, the Bronx Bombers have dropped five straight games.
Paul Zimmerman, sports editor of the Los Angeles Times tells us that Arturo Godoy will be the basis of another "sensational, gigantic, colossal," build-up, when he meets Louis the night of June 20, in Madison Square Garden. Zimmerman reminds us that this fight is scheduled too soon after the last identical fight between Louis and John Paycheck, of Des Moines. In other words, Zimmerman is just another one of the many sports fans that hates to see Mike Jacobs ruin the fight game with his cut-rate shows.
NUMBER 1——is George Bailey. Bailey was hte first racing driver killed while practicing for the 1940 Indianapolis Speedway classic. Bailey's car crashed into the wall and he was burned to death, while the car was demolished.
GLENN MORRIS, ex - Colorado State footballer, ex-All West end in the 1933 East-West game, ex-junior national 440-yard hurdle champion, ex-national decathlon champion, ex-Olympic decathlon champion, and if that isn't enaugh, ex-Tarzan in the movies, is now selling insurance in Los Angeles and doing right well for himself, too.
Jayhawkers Will Play Strong Oklahoma Team In Two-Game Series
Oklahoma's Sooners, who are near the acme of perfection as college baseball teams go, will arrive in Lawrence tomorrow morning, for a two-day series with the Kansas Jayhawks.
Carrying at least three men, who are recognized as future big league timber, the Sooners should keep their winning streak in the Big Six intact, without the expenditure of too much effort. Jimmy Pope, who owns a wide assortment of slow curves, is the ace of the Oklahoma staff and may pitch the first game of the
Pope is not the only Sooner who stands a good chance of succeeding in organized baseball. Big league scouts are also reported to be making eyes at Hero Scheffler, Jack Riley, and "Popeye" Lasater. Scheffler a Star
Scheffler, the lanky first baseman, has connected for seven hits out of 13 trips to the plate, in the last three games. Included in this impressive display of offensive power were two doubles, a triple, and a home run. Riley, Sooner third baseman, has also wielded a big stick in Oklahoma's drive toward the conference title. Lasater, the fiery little second sacker, has been out of action during the past week, but is expected to be ready to play tomorrow.
The rain yesterday may have caused another postponement of the Jayhawk's game with Rockhurst, but it didn't prevent them from working out at home. The varsity diamond was still soggy, so Coach Mike Getto moved his athletes over to the football field for their daily practice session.
Kresie Starts Again
In order to avoid the chilly wind, Knute Kresie and Marvin Vandaveer, Kansas moundsmen, loosened their arms in pitching practice under the stadium. Kresie has been nominated to hurl tomorrow's game with Henry Horak starting on Saturday afternoon. However, should the Oklahoma hitters become too familiar with the offerings of Kresie or Horak, Vandaveer, John Burge, or "Red" Dugan will be rushed in from the bull pen.
Except for the second base post, which will be filled by Charles Kraemer while Kresie is pitching, the Kansas lineup tomorrow will be the same as the one which took the field against Nebraska. On Saturday, Kresie will probably be shifted back to second place.
Additions Made To Hall of Fame
Framed photographs of Serge Rachmaninoff, pianist; Fritz Kreisler, violinist; and Emanuel Fleuermann, cellist, all autographed and dedicated to the School of Fine Arts, have been added to the University Hall of Fame. This name has been given to the collection of autographed photos of musical celebrities who have appeared in Hoch auditorium.
Cinder Team Meets Tigers On Saturday
Track coach, Bill Hargiss will give the "go" sign to four drivers to head for Columbia, Mo., at 5 o'clock, Friday afternoon, for a dual meet between the Kansas Jayhawker track string, and the Missouri Tigers.
Other recent additions to the collection are Ignaz Paderewski, pianist; Marcel Dupre, organist; and Francescatti, French violinist.
"We just don't have a dual team," says Hargiss. We got 1½ points out of a possible 36 in four field events against the Staters. Our total points earned will rank high in a conference meet, because the other teams will distribute the points pretty evenly in the events in which we don't have much of a showing."
Fully recovered from the Kansas State defeat, the track team is ready for its opponents, but is looking farther ahead than the M.U. meet, to the Big Six Conference meet at Lincoln, Neb.
Weak In Dual Meets
Entrys, at present, include 22 men in 15 events. Among those expected to take a first in Columbia are Mathes, Jones, Foy, Thompson, and Bevan.
Undecided On Harris
Ray Harris' foot was paining him in his workout yesterday afternoon, but he was able to jog $2 \frac{1}{2}$ miles over a "hill-course" Hargiss has laid out. Harris may be spared the exertion of the mile run until the Big Six Conference. Red-headed Kenny Hamilton occupies the same injury booth with Harris, except there is no doubt

Allen Receives Numerous Requests for His Books
Textbook coaching is the trend in basketball coaching, if the number of requests that are pouring in for copies of Dr. "Phog" Allen's "Better Basketball" and "My Basketball Bible" from coaches all over the world, are any indication.
Bv Clavelle Holden, c'40
A basketball enthusiast in Manchester, England, writes, "Basketball has not yet been adopted in Britain in a big way. The war has dealt basketball a severe blow, for all the Mormon missionaries, who were the backbone of English basketball, have returned to the States." He says his highest ambitions are to see basketball played in England with the same fervor as cricket; and to witness a first class basketball game in America. He requested that both books he sent to him $ ^{*} $
that both books be sent to him at once.
that Hamilton will not run Saturday.
From Montevideo, Uruguay, comes a request for "Better Basketball" from H. Lopez Reboloed, of the Uruguayan court team, winner of the South American Basketball Championship. Reboloed, who has been coaching basketball for 15 years, recently coached a team that defeated a North American quintet.
A telegraphic basketball contest, which would be the first of its kind between the two continents, was suggested by Gerson Sabino, coach of the Minas Tennis Club of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Five players from the University of Kansas, and a same number from the Minas Tennis Club would take 500 free throws and the one making the

most shots would be declared the winner. He concludes with, "I have your book, 'Better Basketball,' and with it I have won many games and championships." Another From India
From Sakti State in India, Doctor Allen received a request for his two books from a "lover of basketball."
"My Basketball Bible" was first published in 1923, and had a sale of 15,000 copies. "Better Basketball," published in 1338, is a much larger and more comprehensive volume.
Dr. Allen To Speak at Six High School Graduations
Dr. "Phog" Allen has just arranged to speak at the commencement exercises of six Kansas high schools, beginning May 15.
The list of high school and the dates of the respective commencements are: May 15, Hill City; May 16, Seneca; May 21, Humbert; May 22, Marysville; May 24, Wamego; May 29, Bonner Springs; and on May 25, Doctor Allen will give an address at the Douglas County grade school graduation exercises in Lawrence.

Rule Britannia
In order to get along with one's neighbor these days it is imperative to confine all criticism of Great Britain, our ally—sub rosa, of course—to Chamberlain and his conduct of the war in which, as good isolationists (vintage of 1907), we have absolutely no interest. But while we're all weeping about not being able to help the Tommies win democracy's battle, let's look over the situation in India, where England has been defending liberty and freedom for so long.
Freedom, promised India more than twenty two years ago, has yet to be realized. As a reward for its fine war service in World War I, India was to receive its independence in successive stages. One step, the establishment of an All-Indian Congress, has been made. This, however, was merely a meaningless gesture; the real purpose was to quiet a growing unrest among the clamoring Indian nationalists. Actually, the Congress has about as much power as a Democrat governor in Kansas. The British provincial governors control defenses and foreign policies. They can, in times of emergency, absorb all power.
India wants its liberty now. She has been accused of taking advantage of Great Britain while the latter is in distress. This, as everyone should realize, is a dirty trick—India taking advantage of Great Britain! India does have some logical arguments: soldiers of India, for example, guard the British Empire's life line from the Suez to Singapore, but still India is granted little consideration by Great Britain. The franchise, as last extended in 1935, only gives the vote to 14 per cent of the people.
As a matter of fact, India remains the lone example of unleased imperialism in the British Empire. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa have the dominion status. In India's case, however, British statesmen seem unable to rise to the spirit of cooperation in granting English liberties to English colonies. Chief reason is that India hasn't been strong enough to demand that cooperation.
We all know that India really isn't ready for independence. We all, however, seem to know that China is ready to be independent of Japan. The reason for this is that all "right-thinking" people know that men like Mahatma Gandhi aren't as capable of governing themselves as the Chinese are. It would be interesting to learn how we all know this.
Whatever we think, with Britain occupied in finding a new place to retreat from, the time may come when India's desire for freedom will flare into open revolution. At the moment, Gandhi, leader of the Congress, is following a quiet policy, but indications have already been shown that the party has split. Many of Gandhi's former allies now believe in an aggressive policy. If this aggressive group gains control, Gandhi is apt to be overthrown, and a revolution will take place. It is hoped that, after England is finished fighting for Norway's freedom, she will extend a little of it to India before it is too late.

Arthur Robb Assembles Fables in Weekly Colum
By Walt Meininger, c'40
The origin of the use of the number "30" to signify the e of a news story has never been clearly determined. Arthur Rob columnist for Editor and Publisher, journalism magazine, gathered some of the fables and explanations about the use "30" for concluding newspaper articles. We quote Mr. Robb:
"When newspaper stories were written and set by hand period was indicated by "x" in the manuscript copy; the end a paragraph by "xx" and the end of the story by "xxx," which has many symbolic meanings, among them "thirty" in Roman numerals.
"The journalistic symbol "30" had a peculiar East Indi origin. In Bengali, we are told, "80" means "farewell" or quit." An English officer at Calcutta used the figures at the of a letter he sent to the East India Company in 1758. The company, using the figures in its publication, made them "30' mistake.
"Typesetting machines that cast their type in slug form us to set a maximum length of line known to printers as 30 pica en so that "30" came to mean the end of the line. Oldtime printer dispute this version with the statement that the "30" symbol lo antedates the slug-casting machines.
"During a disaster, information was being wired to the on side world by a telegrapher whose number was "30" and was remained at his key and met death after his colleagues had flea. This one is not authenticated, and can be called doubtful.
"Early telegraph editors had a code of their own for side-to on the wire. The figure "1" means "wait a minute"; "4" mea when shall I proceed?"; "8" indicated "I'm busy"; "13" ask what's the matter?"; "17" meant "I'm sending an import message"; "30" was "end of item"; "73" was "kindest regard etc., etc.
"Years ago, in the West, before newspapers had special the telegraph operator would write out dispatches in long-ha and send them to newspapers by messenger. His office closed 3 a.m. at the bottom of the last sheet, he wrote 3 o'clock, who was gradually changed to "30'c", and then to "3 o" and at last "30."
"When the Associated Press was established, each member of the association was entitled to 30 telegrams each 24 hour When the last message was sent it was marked "30."
"The 30 magistrates appointed by Sparta over Athens at the end of the Peloponnesian War were called the "Thirty Tyrans and were overthrown at the end of a year's reign. The end, the tyrants was heralded with a spirit of gladness—"30." Fetched, at least.

'Crimson and the Blue Based on Old Roman Song
Add some archeologically retrieved facts about "Crimso the Blue" which ought to be interesting in view of the Waring brainchild:
"Crimson and the Blue" was written by George Barlow Pele who originated the first University Glee Club in 1890. In 18 the Glee Club fired with ambition and a desire for fame, ganized a trip to Denver, financed with $500 from Governor Charlie Robinson.
Everything was fine, but the Glee Club had no song to sing. As a last resort, Mr. Penny, an old Cornell man, made a few significant changes in the Cornell song, and Kansas people have been singing it ever since. ?
Cornell, however, cannot claim priority rights to this jewel among college songs. Professor Skilton says it stems from an old Latin song, "Amici." The British borrowed it from the Romans and turned it into an old English country song called "Annie Lisle." The latest development in chronicle has been added by Association of Alumni Secretu tor of the Cornell Alumni News written a parody on Kansas'

140 Men Apply For New Dorms
More than 140 students had made application by today for the 118 cooperative house scholarships to be made available at the University with the opening of school next fall, according to an announcement from the office of the Endowment association.
Among the first applications for the scholarships 30 were from high school seniors who had been unsuccessful in preliminary examinations for the Summerfield scholarships. The deadline for all applications is May 15.
Delayed somewhat by the rainy weather, construction on Battenfeld hall, designed to accommodate 52 men students, is going forward and the dormitory will be completed near the end of the summer. Interior decorating and repair work is nearly completed on Brynwood Place.
The houses will be conducted cooperatively, each resident scholar paying his share of the expenses and performing his share of the household duties. The exact cost to the students has not been set. It should not exceed $18 a month, Olin Templin, secretary of the Endowment association, recently announced.
No definite plan has been set for selecting the occupants. The committee will attempt to divide the number and have as many upperclassmen as freshman and sophomores.

'IT'S A DATE'
Both the Prime Minister and Winston Churchill, first lord of the Admiralty, persistently have warned in the last few days that the country must steel itself against the danger of attack on England as a result of the German conquest of Norway and of the Nazi hopes that a knock out blow might be dealt to demoralize Great Britain.
To guard against those threats:
1. King George signed a proclamation making an additional 2,500,000 men between the ages of 19 and 37 liable for military service and boosting to 4,500,000 the number of men Britain will have under arms or ready for call.
2. Home Secretary Sir John Anderson introduced in Commons a special powers bill increasing punishment for "treachery" in England and giving the government drastic power to deal with "fifth column" or "Trojan horse" activities of Communists, Fascists, German agents or any others who might seek to weaken resistance to invasion of England.

Palmer's attorney asserted that the whiskey in the drawer was some that officers failed to find when Mrs. Palmer was arrested for possession of liquor this winter. Mrs. Palmer plead guilty and served two months in the city jail. The defendant denied any knowledge of the whiskey found near the window of the basement. Police officers testified that they knew of no other way to get into the basement than through a doorway into the Palmer apartment.
Palmer's father testified that there were other ways to gain entrance to the basement.

How America got the news of Norway's Benedict Arnolds
THE NEW YORK CITY STREET CORPS

A. M. HILFIGER

Leland Stowe
ON MONDAY EVENING, April 8. Leland Stowe—correspondent for the Chicago Daily News and its syndicate—sat in Oslo's Grand Hotel talking idly about Europe's dormant war.
No guns rumbled nearer than the Sylt. The good burghers of Oslo were safe in their beds.
At half past midnight the city heard a noise like a thousand angry motorists stalled in a traffic jam—the raucous bellowing of air raid sirens.
At 7:45 the next morning, Stowe and his colleagues, Edmund Stevens of the Christian Science Monitor and Warren Irvin of N. B. C., watched Nazi bombers roar over the trim Norwegian housets—not in sky-darkening swarms, but by twos and threes. No bombs fell. Scarcely a shot was fired.
By 2 in the afternoon, the incredible had happened. The tramp of Nazi boots was echoing through Oslo streets. The conquerors, marching by threes, made the thin gray column look longer. People gaped like yokels on the Fourth of July at the spectacle of 1500 Germans taking possession of a city of 256,000—a handful of invaders so sure of easy conquest that they had a brass band!
Was this an instance of awesome Nazi might?...of a little neutral's pathetic unpreparedness? To the keen mind of Leland Stowe, sharpened by experience with European intrigue, familiar with Oslo's defenses, the thing didn't make sense.
▶ Stowe got busy, and began to pick up the pieces of the most fantastic story of
...the brass hats arrive
BALDORA
Chauffeured by a fair compatriot with a smiling comeback to German gallantries, Stowe escaped to Stockholm and gave the world the news of Norway's gigantic inside job. Another feather in the cap of the reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1930...the 40-year-old man who was told by a New York newspaper last fall that he was "too old to cover a war."
the war. A story of a small but potent Norwegian war fleet in the harbor whose crews had been deliberately ordered ashore. A story of fortresses and anti-aircraft batteries that didn't fire, or fired startlingly wide of the mark. A story of mines whose electrical control system had been disconnected. A story of a free people infested through and through with spies, who could never have crept into key positions without the aid of traitors.

Take a poll among newsmen for ace correspondent of World War II, and Leland Stowe's name would probably top the list. But there would be runners-up ...
Lochner of AP and Oechsher of UP, covering Berlin. Walter Kerr of the N. Y. Herald Tribune. Columbia Broadcasting's Ed Murrow in London. Otto Tolischus of the N. Y. Times. Frank R. Kent, Jr., of the Baltimore Sun. Young Bill White of Emporia, Kansas, doing the old man proud in Germany and Finland.
Yet no one man, not Richard Harding Davis himself, could cover the present war. For total war means total reporting—
and total reporting means manpower. All told, it takes 10,000 men to report the holocaust in Europe.
The economic front is everywhere and all newsmen help to cover it. The correspondent in the dugout, noticing how the men are fed and clothed. The man in the capital gathering facts on production. The traveling thinkman with eye peeled for slowdown or sabotage. The editors or bureau heads who fit the jigsaw puzzle together.
Then there is the diplomatic front, a labyrinth where only the most experienced can find their way around. And the propaganda front ...reactions of the people ...an area that takes the shrewdest kind of reporting.
The din of battle is just an incident in this war. It is the touch of red with which a painter brightens a somber canvas. It means something only when seen against the rest of the picture.
Just the same, we all love red, so the newsmen go through hell and high water to give it to us. And a whole long year ago, TIME, the Weekly Newsmagazine, began to paint the background that would give those flaming stories meaning—in Background for War, TIME's famous panorama of Europe on the brink.
In every new issue, TIME changes and illuminates the shadows behind the crackling, red-hot stories of the week. Stories from TIME's own big and growing foreign staff, from the Associated Press, of which TIME is a member, from the ace correspondents (with enthusiastic credit).
TIME gives the total coverage that total war demands. TIME unravels the economic and diplomatic snarl. TIME reconciles conflicting stories—weighs one against the other, knows the sources and the mental slant of each reporter, comes up with the composite, clarified answer.
No man knows where the next explosion will be and neither does TIME ... But TIME knows and tells where the TNT is stored.
It's pretty important to know where we are in this war. TIME shows you both the woods and the trees.
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.

Blasts Vote Fraud
Charges that a "fraternity machine" illegally controlled the School of Engineering election yesterday were made today by Presson Shane, e'41 vice-president of the Men's Student Council.
Tom Arbuckle, e'41, was elected president of the engineering student body in the contested voting. Dick Lee, e'42, won out in the balloting for vice-president, with Darrel Liston, e'41, as secretary-treasurer, and Rex Bailey, e'41, as senior representative.
Shane charged that a machine-manned election committee allowed proxy voting by members of three engineering fraternities. "A voter would just present a slip saying he was entitled to vote for someone else," Shane said, "and the committee would accept the ballot." Five Ballots to One
Shane said one fraternity man was given five ballots. The proxy voting was challenged at the polls, the protest claims, when an independent poll watcher discovered it. "The election committee would just draw aside and decide that proxies were okay," Shane said, "and the man would go ahead and vote."
The election committee, Shane explained, was composed of three machine men and two faculty members. One of the faculty men is a sponsor of one of the machine's fraternities, Shane said.
More Votes Than Names
Shane revealed that only 291 names were crossed off in voting directories, but that 307 ballots were cast. "The discrepancy of 16 votes shows further fraud in the election."

Dismiss Jury After Ten Hours Without Decision
Because it had recieied no decision after 10 hours of deliberating, the jury in hte case of Robert Palmer, former graduate student, was dismissed last night.
Palmer, charged with possession of intoxicating liquor, was denied permission to enroll at the University the second semester after he and his wife were arrested on liquor charges last February.
Mrs. Palmer recently completed a 30-day jail term imposed on her when their apartment was raided while Palmer was away. Her husband was released then on insufficient evidence, but was later re-arrested.

Hitler Leads Troops Into Low Countries
Amsterdam, May 10—(UP)—Germany invaded Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg in a lightning blow by land, air and sea forces under the personal direction of Adolf Hitler today, but the Low Countries fought back with support of Great Britain and France.
Major fighting developed along the Dutch and Belgian frontiers and coastline.
Allied mechanized troops were reported advancing rapidly through Belgium to meet the Germans driving forward over a "wide front" in the Northwest in an effort to win new bases of possible aerial Blitzkrieg on England.

Hunt Club on to Show; One Casulty Mars Trip
The K.U. Hunt club left Bonner Springs this morning for Kansas City with one casualty to mar its cross country excursion. Al Muzenick, fa'40., is suffering from a dislocated hip, an injury he received when he was thrown from his horse as the group was arriving at the Bonner Spring's summer-camp, where they spent the night.
Two other riders who returned to Lawrence today are Ed McComas and Fritzi Meyn.
"Nez," 5-gaited mare, with Frances
At 8 o'clock tonight, 12 of the equestrians will take part in a ten minute demonstration at the Sportsman's Horse Show and Exposition as to how equitation is taught at the University of Kansas.
Gray as rider, will be entered in the amateur race of the show.
After the Horse Show tonight, the riders will return by car to Lawrence. The horses will be shipped back by truck.
Plenty of Room for Senior Cakewalkers Tonight Only 350 Tickets Sold for Dance
Bonner Springs turned out en masse to greet the Hunt club last night. After a dinner at which they were guests of the Bonner Springs Rotary club, the group went to a show.
Unless a couple of hundred Joes around the Hill decide this afternoon and evening to gcrape up two bucks and stag or drag their way to the Senior Cakewalk tonight, there will be plenty of elbow room in the Memorial Union ballroom tonight.
It was "estimated" this morning that about 350 tickets had been sold for the music of Will Osborne and his patented slide rhythms.
Hill jitter-bugs who aren't planning on going because they think that slide-rhythms mean waltz time, are mistaken. Extremely popular around Chicago, Osborne and his band were among the first to beat out swing arrangements.
The first band leader on the Hill this year to sing his own vocal refrains, Osborne will remind most listeners of Rudy Vallee. A singer of the crooner type, Will fronts and vocalizes for the organization. A large number of Osborne's recordings are currently on the discs at the campus hang-outs. At the Jayhawk swing addicts are currently enjoying the screwy "Could I But Kiss Thy Hand, O' Babe," "You Call It Madness," and a swing arrangement of one of the Hungarian Rhapsodies, "Hungry for a Rhapsody."
So far as real technique goes, Osborne may equal any band heard on the Hill this year. Undoubtedly his
band will be minus the blare and slip-shod high notes put out by the newly-formed Charley Barnett organization which was here for the Frolic. Osborne's style of sliding rhythms is gotten by a combination of three slide trumpets and three trombones. A record released within the last year called "Listen to the Slide Cornets" best illustrates his style.
The band has made many recordings and made history by setting an all-time record of broadcasting 14 times a week. The dance begins at 10 o'clock tonight, and lasts until 1 in the morning. Closing hours are at 1:30 a.m.

Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg appealed to the Allied powers for assistance after 59-year-old Queen Wilhelmina—who celebrated this week the longest reign in the Dutch dynasty—had appealed to the people to resist the invaders and King Leopold of the Belgians, had followed the World War example of his father and taken command of the

London, May 10—(UP) Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain resigned tonight and Winston Churchill agreed to form a new government.
The new government, it was agreed without exception, shall be one of national unity in which Labor, Liberals, and Conservatives alike join to meet the threat of the dreaded German Blitzkrieg.
The change of government was being accomplished in record breaking speed for the ordinarily slow and traditionally British parliamentary city. England Shows Speed
Only this morning it was generally believed that despite the unleash of the German attack on the Low Countries and the imminent threat to the British Isles, it would be ten days or a fortnight before the new government might be formed.
But sudden conferences were held. The Labor party agreed to go into the government if Chamberlain quit. Within a few hours the preliminaries which would give England a

It's the Fit and Fittings For Chicness With Slacks
Do you ever feel like a cartoonist's nightmare when you put on a pair of slacks? Well, you needn't feel like that this season. Even moderate-priced slacks are well tailored. Get the slack ensemble that best suits your requirements.
Boxy shorties, fitted suit jacket, or boleros, have given slack suits a more formal look. Shirts for slacks can be worn tucked into the waistband,
Tailored slacks with correct shoes and accessories are appropriate at resorts, clubs, on beaches, in your own home. But we confess we don't like to see them on crowded streets in town or for sight seeing on a motor trip. Slacks, too, are not the best costume for very active sports.
For lounging you'll find the bell-bottom trousers that are graceful and comfortable. But even lounging slacks—worn comfortably at home—should be perfectly cut and well fitted.

A luncheon guest of Alpha Chi Omega today was Mrs. Nell Clarke of Troy.
If you select slacks with mannish cuffs, remember this—the bottom, or cuff, measurement should not exceed the length of your foot. Slacks flap unbecomingly if the bottoms are larger than your feet.
Saucy Hat--you might pay 100 or so people to page you at the Granada when you are sure she will be there. Of course, if she has any mind at all, she will probably suspect a trick, but then if she has any mind at all, you wouldn't want to know her anyway. On the other hand, if you wish to be a cave man, the thing to do is to bury one of your teeth in a spot where it will not be discovered by scientists for another 20,-000 years.

In the Spring a Young Man's Fancy Turns to Thoughts of Love--and How
As was appropriately remarked in a recent popular fiction magazine, anyone who isn't interested in wooing at this time of year is undoubtedly either vegetable or mineral and, in the latter case, will probably derive little interest from what follows.
Having eliminated the unfit by this classification, and you presumably having settled on the object toward which your attentions shall be directed, we submit that the first step in the chase to make a LASTING FIRST IMPRESSION. You might knock her into a bed of poison ivy or you might stick out your foot as she enters the classroom (in which case we can absolutely guarantee that she will fall for you.)
Before going any further, it may be wise to determine what kind of impression you wish to make. If you wish to appear to be a BMOC,
Having convinced her by now that you are a man of action and of very remote possibilities, the next step is to GIVE HER A PRESENT. You may have discovered in your recent efforts that the campaign you have embarked upon involves a lot of trouble and expense. Not nearly so much as you may expect in case you are successful, of course, but still plenty.
Now as to the present. It should
be neither intellectual nor cultural, but should be chosen to suit her personality. Something striking, perhaps, like a baseball bat. You might accompany this little gift with a note reading: "Use with discretion; swing well before applying." This is recommended to build up the proper emotional attitude on her part.
Now the actual courtship begins. You could take her to the City, but you could also go to the lake. Then, too, canoeing has its advantages—providing you can swim in case she gets rough. ("She" referring to the water, of course.)
To proceed to the actual proposal. In case you are on dry land, you place both feet firmly on the ground, head up, chin up, take a deep breath, and exhale the loving words slowly.

Vocation Clinic To Open May 14
The University's first Vocational Guidance Clinic, to be held May 14-22, will be opened with an address given by Prof. P. W. Viesselman, of the School of Law, chairman of the vocational guidance committee, in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday evening.
Approximately 70 Lawrence business and professional men with faculty members have filed hours for conference with Professor Viesselman.
Students interested in consultations should register immediately after the opening meeting or later in the offices of Miss Elizabeth Meguar, women's student adviser; Henry Werner, men's student adviser; the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W. C.A. Students must enroll the day preceding the time they want the conference. All conferences will be held in the office of the adviser, Professor Viesselman said. Registration will be under the direction of John Moore, secretary of the Y.M.C.A.
In explaining the nature of the vocational program, Professor Viesselman said, "The clinic is being held independently of the recent employment discussions and is not a placement forum. The aim of the conference is to coordinate the college training of the student and the vocations in which he may be interested." Underclassmen should be particularly interested in the clinic, for it is particularly intended for the student who has not chosen his major subject, Professor VieSELman added. Special attention will be given to the commercial opportunities of the various fields.
The committee arranging for the clinic includes John G. Blocker, professor of economics; T. H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering; Henry Werner, adviser of men; Parke Woodard, associate professor of physiology; Karl Kuersteiner, director of the orchestra; Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women; A. H. Turney, professor of education, and Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The full time teaching staff of the University numbers 257.

Private flying licenses were awarded to Albert Grohne, e'41, and Leilyn Young, c'40, two of the 50 students enrolled in the elementary flight training course, after they successfully completed the final CAA flight exam at the Municipal airport, Wednesday.
Seven other of the University's "future Lindys" passed the tests two weeks ago. If the weather permits other students will be tested on Monday and Thursday of next week. The entire class will take the exams before the end of the
semester. Inspector Warren Smith, Kansas City Municipal airport, gives the tests. The students to pass the examinations, must prove their ability to handle the plane controls alone.
Pianist Named On Concert Bill
The distinguished two-piano team of Lubschutz and Nemenoff of New York City has just been added to next year's concert course, Dean D. M. Swarthout said today. The pair will open the series with a concert Oct. 21.
Students enrolled in the advanced flight training course will take tests this summer for commercial operators licenses. Other students who received private licenses are: Roger Ludeman, c'42, Bill Arnold, c'40, John Royce, c'40, Helen Hay, c'40, Kenneth Blim, c'40, Glenn Foy, c'40 Max Replogle, ed'40, and Bill Fried-hoff, c'42.

Scheduled to appear here during this year's Music Week festival, Tibbett cancelled his contract because of an illness. Richard Crooks, who was to have come to the University next year, came this year instead to fill the vacancy.
One of the best women pianists of the present time, Guimar Novaa, will come to the University March 10. The young Brazilian artist has been likened to Myra Hess in her artistic work at the keyboard.

Sooners Invade Kansas
Knute Kresie on Mound For Jayhawks Against Strong Oklahoma Team
By Bob Trump, c'43
Hoping for the best, and at the same time, expecting the worst, the Kansas Jayhawks took the varsity diamond at 3 o'clock this afternoon to try and do something toward stopping the onrush of the seemingly invincible Oklahoma Sooners.
Knute Kresie was Coach Mike Getto's choice for today's starting pitcher with Henry Horak the probable hurler tomorrow.
Ranked among the top intercollegiate baseball teams of the country, the Sooners presented a lineup this afternoon, which last week defeated the Texas Longhorns in a two game series.
This feat alone, seems un-exciting, until the Texas record is dusted off and brought to light. Oklahoma Beats Longhorns
The Longhorns, not satisfied at mopping up college competition throughout the Lone Star state, this spring, scheduled engagements with the Toledo Mud Hens, of the American Association, and Tulsa, of the Texas League. Everyone, but the members of the Texas nine themselves, was surprised at the outcome of the games, for the Longhorns defeated Toledo once and Tulsa twice.
Today's starting lineup for Oklahoma found Herb Scheffler of basketball fame at first base, "Popeye" Lasater on second, Sam Blackwell at short stop, and Jack Riley at third base. Ralph Bollinger, Walter Stephenson, and Melvin Bullington were in the outfield.
Undecided On Second Base
Just before game time, Kansas Coach Mike Getto had decided upon all but one member of his starting lineup. The battery was composed of Kresie and Monte Merkel. Jack Sands was on first base, Ray Napier was at short, and Dorus Munsinger was at third.
However, the second baseman still remained in doubt. Last night, Larry Hensley was given a chance at this position and Getto was pleased with his work. Whether Hensley or Charles Kraemer plays today, Getto's outfield will not be weakened, because he will still have Eldreth Cadwalader, Miller Cameron, and Henry Horak to fill the three spots.
K.U. Enters Table Tannis
Tournament in Kansas City
Kansas will be the only university competing in the Missouri Valley intercity table tennis tournament Sunday. This tournament is being held in Kansas City, as a part of the Sportsman's Horse Show and Exposition. At least twelve city teams are expected to compete in the roundrobin style tournament.
The University team, sponsored by the Memorial Student Union activities committee, will be composed of Perry Petterson, c'42, Charles Ham, ph'42, Malcolm Black, l'42, Shirley Irwin, fa'sp, Ellen Irwin, c'41.

Golfers; Netmen To Meet Tiger Teams Tomorrow
The University golf and tennis teams leave this afternoon for Columbia, for a dual tennis-golf meet with Tiger net and linkmen tomorrow.
In the golf matches here April 27, Coach Shannon's men split their matches, 9 to 9, with Missouri, Dean Ritchie, Rod Wakeland, and Bob LaGree won their twosome rounds against Coach Edward's charges, but failed to win either of their twosome matches.
The tennis matches scheduled with Missouri that day, were cancelled because of rain, so this will be the first meeting of the two tennis teams. Missouri netmen were runners-up in last year's Big Six meet.
The Tiger golfers swamped Westminster College, 18 to 0, in their first meet of the spring season, but later lost to Oklahoma, last year's Big Six runner-up, 19 to 2. They defeated Central College (Missouri) Saturday, 11 to 7.
Bob Hogeeboom captains the Tiger varsity, and carded a 76, to tie for medalist honors with Dean Ritchie, Kansas number 1 man, in the meet here. DeWeese, Victors, and Klemovich make up the other members of the team.
Ritchie, Wakeland, Bill McEihenny, and Bob LaGree will make the trip to Columbia this afternoon. Ritchie captains the varsity golfers, and has yet to lose a match this season. He turned in his lowest match score, a one-under-par 71, in the Wichita University meet, and has consistently turned in scores in the middle 70's.
Wakeland was medalist in the season's first meet with a 75, and teams with Ritchie in foursome matches. Bob LaGree has been playing the number 4 position in recent meets, and plays with McEhenny in foursomes. Both are capable of shooting in the 70's.

Kansas Ready For Bengals In Dual Meet
Preliminary preparedness for the Tiger fight was held in the Memorial stadium closure yesterday afternoon, with Bill Hargiss, track coach, showing and telling his "bird-boys" how to, and how not to, make their attack in Columbia.
Faithfully training under their expert coach, the Jayhawkers are doing a fine job of exhibiting a squad which is praiseworthy, and are making up for the loss of ineligibilities. Much improvement has been noticed from their ranks throughout the progressing season.
The team left for the Missouri dual meet this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The men will rest over in the opponent city tonight and be ready for the 2:30 competition, immediately after which, they will return to Lawrence.
Stay In Columbia Tonight
While hoping for the best against a distinctly better team, the Kansas tutor has decided to train his men more for the Big Six Conference meet in Lincoln, Neb., than for this MU. dual. He has sent tracksters "over the hills" on a marked $ 2 \frac{3}{4} $ mile campus course, which he would not have done if he expected immediate results.
Ray Harris might possibly be able to run, but it is very doubtful that he will do so this week end. Hargiss wants to be sure Ray does not injure his healing instep. Harris will make the trip. Also weakened by the loss of Kenny Hamilton the team is definitely not at its best. Hamilton will be ready for the Big Six.
Harris May Run
Improvement has been noticed in the weights. Herb Hartman will throw the discus for Kansas Saturday. He has been throwing 120 to 125 feet during this last week. Carty Dawes has added a few feet to his javelin tosses in each of his meet attempts. He threw 160 feet, 5 inches in the Kansas State meet. He is a sopohomore.
J. R. Jones, while not himself since the indoor season, is coming out from under his hardships, and with the rivalry of Schumitsky, of Missouri, he will bear watching. Jones has been able to jump only in meets, without his practice.
Derrrell Mathes may win blue ribbons in the 100- and 200-yard dashes, but he will really have to fly for them. A Missouri opponent can run 100-yards in 9.8 seconds. Mathes, at his best, can beat this by one-tenth of a second.
Dick Edwards, Joe Ryan, and Don Thompson will run the mile for K.U. and that event will probably be one of the feature attractions of the day.

I am finally convinced that the Germans have the fastest track men in the world. They certainly have to be fast to cover as much space as the German army has covered in the last two months.
Los Angeles will be the scene of the United States Olympic track and field trials July 10-13, despite cancellation of the games because of the war. The athletes who make the team will receive the same medals and certificates which would have been awarded for Olympic competition.
If Galahadion wins the Preakness this Saturday, there is little doubt that Mrs. Ethel Mars will name a chocolate candy bar after the racing horse. But the Pimlico jockeys are still favoring Bimelech.
JUST DROP DOWN to the baseball diamond this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon if you want to see a good college baseball team play. . The Oklahoma Sooners, rated as one of the top-flight inter-collegiate diamond teams in the United States, will meet the last-place Kansas Jayhawkers here in a two-game series.
On first base for the Sooners will be Herb Scheffler, tall basketball star, who gave the Kansas cagers so much trouble every time we met the Oklahoma team on the court. Scheffler is one of the best first basemen in college baseball and many big league scouts have dropped by to see him play from time to time.
Many of the Kansas cagers are playing baseball for their intramural teams . . . Dick Harp and "Duck" Ebling for Sig Alph; Bob Allen, Ralph Miller, and John Krum for Phi Psi; Bruce Voran for Delta Tau Delta; T. P. Hunter for Pi K.A.; and Bill Hogben for Beta.
TOO BAD FRITZ. . . Bad news is again prevalent in the football circles as the coaches begin to sum up their prospects for next season. Coach Fritz Crisler of Michigan, is doing the early mourning because of the loss of Paul Kromer, left halfback, who was supposed to be every bit as good as Tom Harmon, his sophomore year. Last year, he pulled the ligaments in his knee, and since then he has been little better than the average run of halfbacks.
To Operate On Miller's Leg Again
Ralph Miller, of injured-knee fame, will again undergo an operation on his bad right knee. Miller will enter the Watkin's Memorial Hospital sometime next Wednesday or Thursday. Dr. Francisco, of Kansas City, will perform the long-needed operation.
Last summer, Miller had the inner lunar cartilage removed from his right leg, and it improved his condition about half of what it was expected. So after many consultations with Dr. Francisco and Dr. F. C. Allen, it was decided to operate again, and remove the outer lunar cartilage.
Miller will probably be in the hospital about 10 days.
Ann Cota Elected New W.A.A. Head

Ineligibility Is Reason For Poor Track Showing
By Carty Dawes, c'42
In order to stop the circulation of rumors about why the University of Kansas track team has not fared quite as well as most Kansans would like to have it, Coach Bill Hargiss lists 22 reasons
Ineligibility takes the prize! In fact, the 22 reasons are ineligibilities. It is thought by many, that our school does not have good track men enrolled here, but by viewing a word-sketch of the men, who are eager to compete, but are not eligible due to lack of a year's residence at the University, or have not qualified scholastically, and have therefore been denied the privilege, the reader may see more clearly into the picture.
Hargiss Tries Hard
Mr. Hargiss has gone to considerable trouble in bringing to K.U., men whom he knows in a year or two he can turn into first class athletes. He does not, however, want his unselfish and honorable efforts mentioned.
Here are some of those men, whom he has offered to the University of Kansas, in the line of track athletes, who are this semester ineligible:
1. Bill Bunsen—Kanass State high school discus record holder, a potential 150-foot thrower; throws the javelin 200-feet consistently; tosses shot put 50 feet.
2. Ed Linquist—A first rate discus man
3. Steve Renko—Another fine discus thrower.
4. Bob Stoland-This year's track co-captain; a high jumper.
5. Dick Ash—Ran a quarter mile in 49.5 as a freshman.
6. Bill Walters—A good high
oper and hurdler.
4. John Mitchner-High school state role vault champion.
9. Claude Hargadine — a 180-foot javelin thrower.
8. Bob Lorenzen—A 6 foot, 2 inch high jumper.
11. Norman Sanneman—A good high jumper.
10. Orlando Epp--Recently ran a 49.4 440-yard dash with no competition.
12. Ivan Shadwick — A smooth, potential, 880-yd runner.
13. Bill Knight—190-foot javelin thrower.
14. Don Pollom—One of the best trackmen to come to K.U. A high and low hurdler, and sprinter,
15. Dick Overfield—An all-around athlete who was at KU, but went to Compton Junior College, California, because he was offered more for his efforts. Spectators will view him next year under Southern California colors.
19. Harold Wright—Broadjumper above the average. Contains Unavailable.
Captains Unavailable
Co-captains Ray Harris and Bob Stoland, both of whom have been unavailable this season, together assembled the total of 18 points in the Big Six Conference meet last year.
The foregoing is self-explanatory of why Kansas does not have a top-notch track team this season. But with a mostly sophomore team now, a crack freshman squad, and a number of the above-mentioned athletes, who will compete next year, it is easy to predict that Bill Hargiss will be proclaimed a wonderful coach because he brings in a winning team.
Y.M.C.A. to Hold Aquatic School
An Aquatic Training school for leader examiners in Y.M.C.A. life saving will be held in Fort Leavenworth at 9 a.m., May 14 and is open to anyone who has qualified in the senior test of the American Red Cross.
In case the candidate is able to qualify as a leader-examiner, he or she will be privileged to teach and give Y.M.C.A. life saving tests on the junior and senior level.
There is no charge for registration, but the candidate will be expected to arrange for transportation, and the expense of two meals.
Herbert Allphin, instructor in physical education and University representative of the Red Cross, has been interviewing students who are interested in taking the tests. Applications must be in before Monday noon, he said today.
Artists Desert Pen and Paints In Frank Strong
Leaving musicians behind with their instruments, the members of the design and painting classes of the School of Fine Arts, took their annual "walk-out" today. Leaving with Miss Rosemary Ketcham, head of the department of design, most of the members of the department went to Lake Tonganoxie this morning at 9 o'clock to spend the day playing games, picnicking, dancing, and boating.
Class rooms on the third floor of Frank Strong hall were nearly deserted today, with only a few students remaining to catch up on work. No teachers were in evidence and the office force closed shop and went along on the outing.

Another TB Case
With the finding of another case of active tuberculosis in a fraternity house food handler this week, the urgency of tuberculin tests for all food handlers received additional emphasis. In this case the food handler was, to outward appearances, free of infection, but x-ray and laboratory tests proved the existence of active tuberculosis. Members of the fraternity will be checked by the student health service to ascertain whether the infection has spread to others.
Thus far, due to the efforts of the student health service and the Pan-Hellenic council's action in requiring the testing of fraternity and sorority food handlers, nineteen Greek letter organizations have completed the examination of all food handlers in their employ. These include the following organizations:
Acacia
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Beta Theta Pi
Chi Omega
Delta Chi
Delta Tau Delta
Delta Upsilon
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Sigma
Phi Delta Theta
Phi Kappa Psi
Pi Kappa Alpha
Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Sigma Chi
Sigma Kappa
Sigma Nu
Sigma Phi Epsilon
More surprising, perhaps, is the response of other organizations outside the jurisdiction of the Pan-Hellenic councils. Dr. R. I. Canutes, director of the health service, offered the facilities of the service without charge to any organization wishing to cooperate in the tuberculin testing program, and twenty-one have requested the examinations. Testing of employees in Corbin hall and the Memorial Union building, two of the first to volunteer, has been completed. Others cooperating in the plan is the Triangle fraternity and the following boarding houses and restaurants:
Dunakin club
Dunarkin choi
Mrs. Blanche Yeaton, 1620 Tennessee
Mrs. Ida Feier, 845 Missouri
Mrs. Verma, Sharer, 1218 Mississippi
Mrs. Letty K. Cutler, 1215 Oread
Mrs. Mae Edmonston, 1241 Louisiana
Mrs. Beulah Overton, 1940 Indiana
Mrs. O. M. Bruchmiller, 1145 Indiana
Mrs. Faye Perrin, 1247 Ohio
Mrs. A. M. Caulk, 1420 Ohio
Mrs. George Jones, 1041 Tennessee
Bondeson club, 1241 Tennessee
Mrs. N.C. Fries, 1400 Tennessee
Mrs. Osa Custer, 1247 Kentucky
Mrs. Charles B. Vickers, 1325 West Campus
Mrs. T. V. Rowe, 200 West Twelfth Hal's cafe
It has been suggested that cards, similar to those of approved men's and women's rooming houses, be given to organizations volunteering for the examinations at the completion of examinations of food handlers in their employ, with the stipulation that the house, club, or restaurant agree to require the testing of any new worker not previously examined. Such a move undoubtedly would serve as a stimulus for other organizations to cooperate in the health measure.
YOU SAID IT
The Sap In Spring
Editor, Daily Kansas
I should like to propose the Gamma Phi Beta house as being one of the nicest on the Hill since in my mind it contains within its portals the ideal type of sorority girl. Now should any of my other friends recognize the author, I mean, then, no discourtesy; nor do I imply that they are the less worthy because they do not accord with this type. More than one desirable
combination of virtues exists, and in fact this ideal type I describe would hardly be the one for me.
Looking at this girl from the point of an independent with little money and fewer charms, I would say that to the strong belong the fair and she is certainly no exception. For an individual of my stamp, she is only to be looked at and dreamed about. However it is she that gives the fraternities their best selling point when they are inducing a man to pledge. If they can boast that the prospective pledge will be enabled to meet her if he joins the Eta Bita Pie, he is surely sold.
her if he joins the Ella Bateman. She is a powerful antidote to the painted, stuck-up, high-hatter that looks down her nose at all but a few select Greeks and insists in being driven in the latest model. Though you could hardly do her justice in any printed description, you could say that she is truly a gorgeous person overflowing with fun and possessed with one of those rare types of real natural beauty.

An Artistic Appraisal Editor, Daily Kansan:
Editor, Daily Kansan:
If the Hill's appraiser could succeed in pushing Hemingway, Lewis, Petty, and Thurber, together with all other acknowledged brush-wielders in the Spooner-Thayer collection where man knows they may never be seen again, he could then finger-crossedly say that recent and attraction-attracting, if not attractive works on the Campus are art-pure and simple.
on the Campus First on the list of Hill history-makers is the present painting on the Anatomy building. The result, if not beautiful, has at least one of the points of some kinds of art—clean work. This initial progress is permeated with the atmosphere of Michelangelo—if not his genius.
Spasmodically harmonious is the result of the side by side hanging of above chef-d'oeuvre with the "Sculpture of a Lawn" just beneath. The grass has been clay in the weed digger's hands. Starting like a true sculptor with too much, he has brought it down to that just-enough stage—for the present at least.
All in all, the University outdoor museum has qualities to be commended-for its unusual attacks, if nothing else.

Study in Optimism--- Horses To See City; Riders Hope They Can
By Benny Lemons
It may be that I was too deeply impressed by the simple life Jugs of wine and thou, and things of that nature.
But for some reason I can't exactly feel athletic over some 2 local horsemen who are donning red shirts and riding clothes for a canter over to the city.
Per se, this is ridiculous. I'd be willing to wager that very few of the Places in Kansas City would condone the presence of a horse at the bar. Or even on the dance floor. I should think the animal would feel rather conspicuous anyway.
Besides, these riders will feel sorry if, on the trail they frighten somebody's great grandfather into thinking they are a squadron of the King's Red Coats which somehow got left in the Colonies. Who knows, the old gent might drag out his muske I've heard that those things have a terrific recoil. At his age doubt if he could survive.
All of which brings up something else. The Revolutionary War proved that red coats provided an excellent target. That alone should be enough of a warning to the Tories of Lawrence Some day when one of those horsemen is peering down his nos (and his horse's) at some commoner, what's to keep any patriot, red-blooded American from defending his country's tradition?
But to look deeper into the matter: The horse is of the gen "Equus" and of the family "Equidae," which I am told, includ asses and zebras. I have never seen a zebra, so on that score must admit I am not well versed.
I have seen a horse, however, and didn't find him particular intriguing.
And I have conversed with others of the genus.
That is. I have been trapped in a horseman's conversation. have never taken part in it.
Just the other day I was walking down with my, friend George, who is one of Their number. A man on crutches hailed him from across the street.
"Who did you have today, George?"
I was immediately interested, because if someone would ask me such a question I wouldn't know just how to answer. Bu George did.
"Oh, they saddled up Princess for me," George replied. "Sh was in a rather testy mood today."
I seized George by the arm and tried to walk along but it w hopeless. They launched into a lengthy discussion, which, think must have been about horses.
I gathered that the man on crutches was on crutches because he also found a horse in a testy mood. Some horse named Lad.
Then there was talk about gaits, about western and stic saddles, about stirrups, and numerous other terms which no mon Kansan can understand.
I wondered if my companions would mind if I just walk away. I tried it, and neither noticed. Obviously the cast is above the average run of just good old, class-cutting students.
They dress differently, they act differently, they talk differenlly—all because they have the distinction of associatin with horses.
One of those persons hangs around our building all the time in a pair of boots with big heels. It took me some weeks to go used to his 65 degree forward lean.
No, there's no future in this horse business. I am of the belief that the horse is on the way out. Even if the Hunt Club one of the most stable institutions on the Hill.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
K.U. Flying Club Started By World War Aviators
In 1919 thirteen K.U. ex-aviators of the United States Army set a precedent that has endured the test of 21 years, when these potential air-enthusiasts formed an officers flying association, the K.U. Flying Service Club.
Today the initial purpose of that all-men organization is to gain
its momentum through 13 University coeds, who recently chartered the first K.U. all-women flying club.
The Flying Service club was formed in conjunction with a similar organization in Kansas City. Strange as it may seem, they held their official meetings on the same week night as the coeds of 1940. Glider Club Started
In 1924 the Glider club replaced the army pilot's association. These students actually constructed a glider. They put it to the first successful flight test on Thanksgiving Day of that year, in a small field south of the Campus. For a landing base, this was too small for satisfactory results. For all further experiments they used the city port.
University students reorganized the Glider's club into the Aero-club in 1928. These pilots-to-be formally received their charter from the National Aeronautical Association immediately following army air-maneuvers at Leavenworth. Fifty planes participated in formation flying, bombing, and maneuvers of two-squadrons of planes in combat. Builds Wind Tunnel
It was in this same year and through the interest created by these active students, that a ground school flying course was first considered as a regular University course. This club also initiated the idea of the 5 foot wind tunnel built underneath the west stadium. It served them as a laboratory for testing devices.

mechanical engineering and present University manager of the C.A.A., the Curtis-Flying school was conducted in 1929. Students took lessons at the Lawrence Municipal airport, new to the community at that time. The school was then recognized as one of the leading student flying schools in the United States.
In 1935 the flight group became charter members of Tau Omega, National Aeronautical fraternity. Released From Fraternity Control
This semester, through the leadership of Helen Hay, daughter of Professor Hay, the Campus coeds have become charter members of the Women's National Aeronautical Association. They form the 17th unit of the national organization in the United States. Their activities thus far indicate a big success in the future.
In 1937, it was reorganized, free from fraternity ties, by 40 air-minded men and women. The enthusiasm promoted by these air-conscious persons carried through until last spring. Students then began to give their time and interest to the new civilian flight course.
After selling 12 designs last year to the Onondaga Pottery Co. of Syrause, N.Y., K.U. design students have submitted 23 more this year.

Hitler Leads---armed forces of his country.
Government Abandons Luxembourg
The Luxembourg government crossed the frontier into Belgium, carrying the archives and national treasury.
German airplanes and parachute troops led the attack ordered by Hitler on the grounds that the Allied powers had planned an immediate invasion of the Low Countries and that Germany was forced to move quickly—as in the occupation of Denmark and Norway.
German airplanes—opposed by British and French craft at almost every turn in contrast to the Polish and Norwegian campaigns—strafed Dutch troop concentrations and bombed communications centers in the Low Countries generally, including the Hague air port and the port of Antwerp.
In France, the big air base at Lyons was bombed heavily and half a dozen other French towns, including such channel ports as Calais and Dunkirk, were attacked.
The Berlin radio appealed to the
populations of the Low Countries especially the Belgian Flemish people—not to resist, but a state of war already had been declared by both governments.
The Berlin radio broadcast pleas in French and Flemish to "our dear comrades" urging the people to remember the "horrors of 1914" and warning that "there are more horrors to come."
Winston Churchill---new floor leader were completed.
At three minutes before 6 o'clock Chamberlain appeared at Buckingham palace. At 6:25 he emerged to be followed by Churchill.
No Doubt In London
It was now evident that the change had been made — Chamberlain out, Churchill in
It was the first time in a career devoted to politics Churchill ever assumed the reins of a new government.
Technically he is not yet heac of the government, but none in London tonight doubt that he will be able to enlist the necessary support to achieve a cabinet of national unity.
What the makeup of the new government will be is not known but it was expected to include David Lloyd George, former prime minister and veteran Liberal.
Blasts Vote--books was made by Shane. If the men at the polls recognized a would-be voter, he explained, the necessity of activity books was forgotten.
Shane charged that the machine had dominated engineering elections for the past three years. The present council was composed of 11 fraternity men and three independents.
Only Appeal to Council
Success of the independent faction's protest is not assured, Shane
said. "The only place we can ap-peal to is the present council," he explained, "and they are 11 to 3 against us."
Other officers elected were:
Other officers elected were:
Junior representative, Eugene Nelson, e'42; sophomore representative, Warren Snyder, e'43; civil representative, Bob Paulette, e'41; architectural representative, Boh Royer, e'43; a dark horse; electric representative, Allan Schontz, e'41; mechanical representative, Hermann Barkmann, e'41; petroleum representative, Walter Crook, e'42; and mining representative, Stewart Earhart, e'41.

Oread School to Hold Reception
Oread high school home night, an annual reception for parents and friends, will be held in the Memorial Union ballroom at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
The reception will be sponsored by the students and teachers. R. A. Schwegler, dean of the School of Education will give the opening address and a musical program and dancing will follow.

"ON THE SLOW SIDE"—That's Jimmie Kelly's way—and the way of millions of other smokers-of saying that he prefers the slower-burning cigarette...Camel. "That's where the 'extras' are in cigarette pleasure and value," explains Jimmie (above).
CHAMPION Jimmie Kelly (right, above) is just one of thousands of experienced smokers who have discovered that Camel's slower way of burning means several definite advantages. Being slower-burning, Camels are free from the drying, uncomfortable qualities of excess heat. They give you extra mildness and extra coolness . . . always so welcome. Slower
burning makes the most of the full, rich flavor of Camel's costlier tobaccos. Camels give you extra flavor... don't tire your taste. The extra smoking in Camels is a matter of the smokers' experience as well as of impartial laboratory record. So get more pleasure per puff and more puffs per pack. Get Camels. Penny for penny, Camels are your best cigarette buy!

Plan Second Premiere
K-Club Play Ready to Face Hill Public
Burly linesmen, speedy trackmen, and agile, sharpshooting forwards will vie for acting honors in the coming K-club dramatic attraction "Murder in the Old Red Barn" or "The Price She Paid" Monday night in the Little Theater of Green hall.
With lines learned and scenery built, only one major problem confronts the director, Rolla Nuckles: how will William Gorder be hung? John Narnarom, who plays the part, suggests that a different stand-in be used each night in order that he be present to carry on as the shameless hero of Maria Martin, played by Bill Bevin.
Maria, unaware of Corder's evil intentions, succumbs to his ardent wooing and meets a fate which the daughter of Ishmael, the gypsy, portrayed by Quido Massare, has already met at the hands of this sheep in wolf's clothing. "She's more to be pitted than censored" is the theme song of Maria.
To create the effect of the burning of Corder's home and farm off stage is one of the scenic problems of the melodrama.
A dance by the chorus will come at the end of the second act. In practice sessions, the athletes have been swinging out in true "terpsichorine" style. Eldreth Cadwalader will take Monte Merkel's place in the chorus.
Before and after the play, the quartette, under the direction of Otto Kiehl, will lead the audience in singing.
Rehearsal began at ten o'clock Saturday night because of the track meet at Columbia, where Bill Beven competed.

Senior Class Meeting To Be Wednesday
A senior class assembly will be held at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday morning in Fraser theater, Henry Schwaller, president of the senior class, announced Saturday.
Allen Crafton, director of the Hill movie to be shown in an unofficial world premiere Wednesday, May 29, in Fraser theater, has completed everything but the editing of the flicker. Official showing of the movie will be Sunday, June 9, as a part of the Commencement program.
Bridge Team To Play Wisconsin U. By Air
The class memorial, class dues, and commencement plans will be discussed at the meeting. Seniors who desire to attend the assembly will be excused from their classes at that hour.
NEW LIBRARY HOURS
Besides regular Sunday afternoon hours, from 2 to 5 p.m., Watson library will be open from 7 until 10 p.m. today, May 19, and May 26.
Members of the University team are LeRoy Fugitt, gr. and Russell Elledge, e'41, winners of the spring bridge tournament, and the runners-up, Malcolm Miller, c'42, and Clarence Miller, c'43.
Bridging 700 miles, the University bridge team, composed entirely of men, will meet the University of Wisconsin women's team by short wave next Thursday afternoon.
The match will be relayed from the Memorial Union building if proper equipment can be secured. Otherwise each play will be telephoned to the home of Ed Price, c'42, amateur operator, who will relay it to the Wisconsin operator.
Twelve set hands will be selected by Winford Ferry, intramural chairman of Union activities, and the Women's Activities director at Wisconsin University. Thus identical hands will be dealt to each team. Corresponding couples will be opponents.
Price, the operator, will contact the radio operator in Wisconsin at 3 o'clock this afternoon to eliminate mechanical difficulties in order that bids and plays may be relayed as quickly as possible.
Hill's Own Movie To Go On Screen In Fraser Hall
Hold onto your seats, boys. Another world premiere of a movie is coming.
Only this time it will be the University's show, and not the city's. And the distinction does not end there.
Instead of dark commands, the movie will deal with high commands. Instead of Ona Munson, June Storey, John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, and Gene Autry cavorting on horseback and in plush-lined limousines behind lariats and mascara, there will be Ann Rightmire, Esther Mitchell, Les Hixon, Fred Littooy, and Lawrence David studying, loaf $ ^{a} $
ing, eating, and going to school at the state U.
Instead of the burning of Lawrence, there will be a flaming zeal for education. Instead of the oneeyed Raoul Walsh behind the camera as director, there will be the sprained-knee Allen Crafton puffing a cigar and shouting both light and dark commands for "lights, camera, action." Crafton thus far has donned neither beret nor puttees, although the latter would be a brace for his ankle which he twisted when he fell on wet steps recently.
Net Gurrille, Pet. Johnsanke.
Not Guerillas, But Jayhawks
Instead of a gang of border guerillas in the supporting roles, there will be Jayhawker students hitch-hiking to school, going down the commencement line to receive diplomas, cheering at basketball games, getting homesick, and drinking cokes.
In the supporting cast are Patricia Neal, Mary McAnaw, Bill Bowers, Jim Arnold, Martha Alice Horner, Doris Johnson, and Becky Tremblly.
The show will last about 40 minutes instead of two hours. It won't preach a doctrine of state freedom nor outline the educational policies of the University. It will have local settings, student characters, and definite plot.
First Showing A Sneak Preview Directed by Crafton and filmed by Art Wolfe, first year law student, the premiere showing of "Far Above the Golden Valley" is set for 8 o'clock Wednesday night, May 29, in Fraser theater. This show will be for students especially. The official showing will be eleven days later on the graduation program when it will be flashed on the screen at 3:30 o'clock the afternoon of Sunday, June 9, in Hoch auditorium for the benefit of the commencement crowds.
First Showing A Sneak Preview
The commencement program lists the premiere for June 9, which would make the May 29 showing a sneak preview. But this is a mere quibbling of terms. The spotlights, orchids, and aerial bombs will be dragged out on May 29 as far as Fred Montgomery, head of the promotion staff, is concerned.

Seven Entries Received In Lewis Essay Contest
Seven entries have been received in the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis Memorial essay contest on applied Christianity, Sebe Eldridge, chairman of the contest committee, announced today. Winners in the contest will be announced within the next two weeks.
the memorial fund, established in 1911 by Prof. George Edward Patrick, Washington, D.C., in memory of his wife, Hattie Elizabeth Lewis, a former student at the University, provides prizes amounting to $250 annually for the best essays on some phase of the general theme, "The Application of the Teachings of Jesus to the Practical Affairs and Relations of Life—Individual, Social, Industrial, Commercial, or Political."
Clinic to Match College Training With Vocations
"To coordinate the college training of the student and the vocations in which he may be interested," will be the aim of the first Vocational Guidance Clinic here May 14-22, according to Prof. P. W. Viesselman of the School of Law, chairman of the vocational guidance committee.
W. T. Markham, of the State Committee on Vocational Education, will give the opening address of the conference in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall at 7:30 Tuesday evening. To Help Choose Major
The clinic is being held independently of the recent employment discussions, and is not a placement forum. It is intended for the student who has not chosen his major subject. Particular emphasis will be given commercial opportunities in the various fields.
Meetings will be as private consultations with advisers in the various fields. Students interested should register immediately after the opening of the conference or later in the offices of Elizabeth Meguiar, women's student adviser; Henry Werner, men's student adviser; the Y.M. C.A.; or the Y.W.C.A.
The list of consultation advisers include:
Prof. John Blocker, accounting.
Prof. Loren Eiseley, archeology

Littooy, Dancers Both Happy Over Osborne
Patented slide rhythms by Will Osborne, et al, slid right into the hearts and feet of guy and gal dancers alike at the Senior Cakewalk Friday night in the Union ballroom. Everyone present had a good time, Osborne was glad to be there, and most happy of all was Fred Littooy, dance manager, because the dance actually made money.
Friday morning Littioy was ready for a doctor. He had sold only about 300 ducats. But Friday afternoon brought a surprising increase in sales, despite gloomy predictions, and a sale of more than 80 cards at the door that evening, at $2.25 a head, brought the level up considerably. The total gate was around $950, quite enough to cover a $750 band contract.
Either from stage action or from fatigue, Osborne maintained a deadpan expression during the entire evening. His Rudy Vallee-like voice, however, was thoroughly satisfactory. Vocals were also ably handled by slight, fairhaired Dick Rogers, scat singer and composer of "Between 18th and 19th on Chestnut
Street." A fine voice, coupled with an "nth" degree of pulchritude, put over the feminine warbler.
Though considered not an exponent of swing, but instead a steady and devout sweet musician, Osborne managed to mix his selections so that all were satisfied. Opening all his pieces with his own style of "intro," the orchestra leader made dancing easy for Cakewalkers on those moderately swiny numbers.
A pre-intermission medley of oldtime favorites brought back memories and helped the spirit of the evening. Probably the best tune of the evening was a swing arrangement of one of the Hungarian rhapsodies, "Hungry for a Rhapsody." Osborne had to repeat the song twice to meet the popular demand.
The horseplay which members of the band engaged in kept a circle of non-dancers in an uproar around the bandstand. The short Mr. Rogers and the huge bass player brought down the house with Roger's tune about 18th street. Later in the evening another of his compositions, "Out of the Mood," went over in a big way.

College Co-ed Needs Voice Culture for Charm
A young foreign actress who recently had great success on Broadway, was asked to give advice to girls seeking to be as glamorous as herself. "I think the average American girl is exceedingly attractive," she said. "Those you see in shops and offices are surprisingly well-groomed, and I like the natural look of the American college women. But I do wish they would pay
Braided Brim--more attention to their voices which are most unpleasant as a whole."
A foreigner is likely to notice a thing like that especially if she has come from a country of soft-voiced people. And her criticism is true for we do pay more attention to how we look than how we sound. But both impressions are valuable, so don't neglect your voice.
Think about this—become voice conscious, see in what way you can improve your speaking tones. Just

remembering to keep your voice low-toned yet creatively alive at all times will make your voice do things for you.
The most popular shoe on the campus among the Eastern schools is the plain calf shoe with no seams visible and laced on the side. It is a very comfortable and fashionable shoe and should be seen more on our own campus. Another shoe made popular in the East is the broogue styled after the women's shoe. It has a detachable flap over the lacing with red rubber soles or leather according to your taste. A shoe popular for campus or dress is the antique colored British broogue. It comes in the wing tip and also the box toe, with large perforations on each. The shading varies from antique copper to dark brown. Saddle shoes are still popular but are fading rapidly on the Hill.
The most accepted shoe for dress wear is the one-quarter brogue. It

The more conservative person might prefer the cable stitched sock which is quite popular, camel's hair being the favorite shade.
These are but a few of the many styles of shoes and socks offered in the shops, but ones upon which the student cannot go wrong in purchasing. Incidentally, when you buy that next new pair of shoes, remember that the shoe store can supply you with just the right kind of cleaner to be used when you can't possibly make it to a shoe-shine.

Holland Sees 'Heaviest' Air Bombing
By United Press
German air power collided with allied air power over the war-torn Low countries and Saturday their outcome was uncertain.
It was a day of blows and counter-blows in which the danger of the moment appeared to be scattered in the Netherlands where thousands of German parachutes were dropped from the skies and gravelly threatened Rotterdam and the Hague.
In Rotterdam German parachuters dropped all around the city. Germany held the marine barracks and central office buildings and apparently had captured Waalhaven, an airdome near Rotterdam, in air bombardments described by the British as "the heaviest of the war."
In the Hague German parachuters which were dropped at the edge of the city tried to capture the central police station. The German "Fifth column" fired on Dutch troops in the streets and was later wined out.
There were two bombing raids on Amsterdam in which seven or more were killed and 25 injured.
In Belgium the High command reported that Germany had gained a footing on defense lines near Maastricht.

Goode to Present Piano Recital With Nininger
Senior recitals in the School of Fine Arts will be continued Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall, with a piano recital by Helen Goode, a pupil of Chiapusso.
Miss Goode received her A.B. from the University in 1935 with a major in Latin. She then took up music and has appeared frequently in musical events on the Hill.

Charles Bradley Wins First Place At Horse Show
Five members of the K.U. Hunt Club placed in the special equitation class for Kansas of the nine who competed against each other on horsemanship, at the Sportman's Horse Show and Exposition in Kansas City Friday night. Charles Bradley, b'41, placed first with "Laddie Boy", and Gene Hillis was second on "Melody". Third place was won by Betty Schultteis, c'40, on "Princess," and Frances Gray, c'42, was fourth on "Nez." Jimmy Robertson, c'40, came in fifth on "Bobbie."
A special police escort met the estretarians at the city limits and took them through the backyards of Kansas City to the American Royal building.
The riders returned by automobile after the show.
A one-man show of paintings by Eugene McFarland, '30, will be exhibited in Oklahoma City, June 1-25. McFarland, who is now director of Phillips University at Enid, Okla, has been an important influence in bettering the standards of art in that section of the state.
Faculty Members To Exhibit Work
Four faculty members of the University's department of drawing and painting will have examples of their work exhibited at the Coronado Exposition in Albequerque N.M., this summer.
The Coronado Exposition is a state-wide celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of the explorer's journey through Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Artists from these states have been asked to exhibit their works.
One hundred paintings by the more important artists of the southwest will be exhibited, including Karl Mattern's "Neon," "Sand Blasted" by Raymond Eastwood, "Vigil" by Albert Bloch, all of the drawing and painting. Artist-sculptor Bernard Brazier's "Colt" in bronze will also be shown.
The exposition opens May 29 and will continue until October.

Jayhawkers Threaten Sooners
Dr. F. C. Allen and his western N. C.A.A. champions sent an autographed basketball to Governor Payne Ratner and his family in thanks for his support and hospitality. Then "Phog" personally sent the governor's children one of his Goal-Hi standards. This basketball makes the second of such trophies in the executive mansion. Last fall, the University of Missouri football team sent an autographed ball to the Kansas governor.
SPORTSCOPE
STAN WILLIAMSON writes that "Tom Stidham is a fine coach, and friend, and easy to work with," at Oklahoma. He also reports that the Sooner team will lose only five men this year from a squad of 60, and although the group is green, they are not lacking in size.
By Larry Winn
Gordon Gray, three-letterman in basketball and track, in 1933, 34. 35, is resigning his coaching job at Harlingen high school in Texas, and contemplating coming back to Kansas to take some advance work on his master's degree. Gray graduated in 1936.
The University of Kansas cagers will play the University of Texas team in a two-game series here early next December, it was learned today from reliable sources. K.U. played the Texans two years ago at Austin, and both teams won one victory. This year, Rice beat Texas 43-42 to win the Southwestern title.
From the grapevine information bureau comes the news that N.Y.U. wanted to schedule a basketball game with Kansas on last October 13, but the Jayhawk cagers were already scheduled to play Drake.
Speaking of the scheduling of basketball games, the interpretation of the Big Six ruling about scheduling no conference games on any court except where the school is located, is one of the most peculiar portions of the rule book. Why shouldn't Kansas and Missouri be allowed to have dual track meets or any other kind of competition in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City? The BIG SIX track meet is held there.
LOOK AT MISSOURI and N. Y.
U. back east. When the Tigers journeyed back to New York, the football teams didn't meet on the N. Y.U. field, but instead, they competed in the Yankee Stadium. How about the coming Kansas-Villinova gridiron tilt? Are they going to play on the Villinova field. . . No certainly not, they will go into Philadelphia to play off the game, where thousands of people will be able to watch them.
The BIG TEN HAS THE SAME ruling but they have a very liberal interpretation of this rule, in that their teams can play within a radius of 150 miles of one of the schools participating.
It is understood that the Kansas- Oklahoma A. and M. cage tilt will draw about $1,000 for the Jayhawks next basketball season.

Lead Oklahoma Until Seventh; Lose Game 6-3
For six big innings yesterday afternoon, Jack Sands, dark thatched Kansas first baseman and pitcher, moved smoothly along toward the greatest upset of the Big Six baseball season.
For six happy frames, the cellar dwelling Kansas Jayhawks kicked dirt in the faces of the mighty Oklahoma Sooners.
hawks dropped their seventh straight game, this one by a score of 6 to 3.
But with victory almost within its grasp, the Kansas infield once more sprang a leak, Oklahoma grounders began to trickle into the outfield, five Sooner runs flooded across the plate in the seventh and eighth innings, and, despite heroic efforts, the Jay-
Get Early Inning
Kansas had gained a first inning lead when, with Larry Hensley on base, Eldreth Cadwalader, blonde cleanup hitter, blasted the first ball pitched to him by Lefty Parks for a 375 foot home run into deep left field.
From then until the seventh, the score keeper did nothing but draw goose eggs on the score board, but the crowd was treated to a demonstration of fielding and throwing by the Oklahoma infield which is seldom seen in intercollegiate circles. The Riley boys at second and third and Sam Blackwell at short did everything with ball but swallow it, and, after seeing them play through nine innings at top speed, the spectators wouldn't have been surprised if they'd done that.
The Sooners collected an unearned run in the second, but from then on until the seventh, Sands was invincible. The spurious Oklahoma tally came when Cadwalader dropped Bullington's third strike and the Sooner runner was safe on first. Bullington went to third on Elwood Riley's single and scored as Deaton dropped a sacrifice bunt in front of the plate.
Threaten In Sixth
The Jayhawks presented a mild threat in the sixth inning, but alertness on the part of pitcher Parks and a base running lapse by "Red" Thompson cut down the run before it could blossom into maturity. With Thompson on second and Cameron, who had also singled, on first, Parks wheeled and snapped the ball to second baseman Riley, who tagged Thompson before he could return to the base.

CARL'S GOOD CLOTHES
In this inning, Zollner batted for Parks and was out when Cadwalader fielded his bunt and threw to first. Blackwell then dropped a pop fly double down the left field foul line and went to third as Dorus Munsinger's low throw to first failed to catch Myer. Berryman was out on a grounder to second, and the dangerous Jack Riley stepped into the batter's box.
Preferring to pitch to Herb Scheffler, Sooner first baseman, Sands passed Berryman. But Scheffler, who had drawn the jeers of the crowd by going down on strikes twice earlier in the game, rose up in all his wrath and lined a single into

K.U. Track Team Loses To Missouri
Missouri's Tigers defeated Kansas 76 1-3 to 54 2-3 on the cinder track at Columbia in the renewal of one of the oldest track and field dual meet rivalries in the Middlewest.
Missouri's strength in the field events accounted mainly for the Tiger triumph. Coach Chauncey Simpson's team won all six of the field events and scored clean sweeps in three of them, the shot put, discus throw and high jump.
The Jayhawks won the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, two mile run, 220 yard low hurdles and the mile relay. Darrell Mathes, junior sprint star, captured the 100 in 9.7 and the 220 in 21.8. Glen Foy's time of 23.4 in the low hurdles was one of the best marks of the day.

John Ise, professor of economics, was the principal speaker at the annual dinner-dance of the student chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers last night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
George Nafe, LaJunta, Colo. chairman of the dinner committee, said about 80 members of the organization and their guests attended the dinner. Among the guests were Dean and Mrs. Ivan C. Crawford, Prof. and Mrs. F. A. Russell, Mrs. George Shaad, and Miss Marcia Beatty.
Air Officials To Visit Campus
Students of the University and surrounding territory will have an opportunity to apply for the army's nine-month flight training course when five members of the Army Air Corps visit the campus this week, Col. Karl F. Baldwin announced today. Second Lieutenant Coleman Hinton will interview applicants Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday at Fowler shops. The other four officers comprise the board which will examine the applicants Wednesday through Friday.
Two years of college work or its equivalent is necessary. The applicant must be between 20 and 27 years old, single, and in good physical condition to be acceptable in army flying schools. A physical examination at Watkins hospital will be given each applicant.
If the applicant is accepted, he is sent as a cadet to one of nine army civilian flying schools for the first three months of training. From there, if the cadet shows promise as a flyer, he advances to San Antonio, Texas. This last six months includes training at both Randolph field and Kelly field. At the end of this period an official "thumbs up" graduates the cadet as a second lieutenant in the air corps reserve. In this position he becomes eligible to take an examination for a commission in the regular army.
Scheffler Answers Hecklers
Herb Scheffler, lanky Oklahoma basketball star, who apparently spends his spring months hitting home runs and baiting umpires for the Oklahoma baseball team, bore the brunt of a concerted razzing attack by Kansas fans at yesterday's Sooner-Jayhawk game.
One inning later, Scheffler again appeared at the plate with the chance to drive in two more runs. Once again Jack Sands, Kansas pitcher, succeeded in striking him out to retire the side. Scheffler became so vociferous in his ensuing argument with Umpire Bice, that the arbitrer ejected him from the game.
After striking out twice with men on base, Scheffler came to bat in the seventh inning and singled in two runs to send the Oklahoma nine into a 4 to 3 lead.
game. Scheffler strolled casually off the field and, before taking his place on the bench, answered the caustic comments offered by the Kansas fans, by pointing to the scoreboard which showed his team holding a one run advantage.
Present Two-Piano Recital
In the first two-piano recital of the season, Lois Worrel, fa'42, and Betty Buchanan, fa'42, Friday afternoon presented a program of eight varied numbers, especially arranged or composed for the two instruments.
Both pianists are students in ensemble under Miss Allie Merle Conger.
Jayhawkers Threaten--right field scoring Blackwell and Myer. Sands then quenched the rally by forcing Bullington to ground out to third base.
(Continued from page 4)
Sands Gets Double
The Jayhawks rallied brilliantly against Jimmy Pope, ace of the Sooner pitching staff, who went into the game after Zollin had batted for Parks. Ramie Beims lined a double to the foot of the right field embankment and scored the tying run a moment later when Sands, desperately trying to win his own game, exploded a two base hit to an unpatrolled spot in deep right center.
Pope managed to struggle through the inning without yielding another run, and in the eighth and ninth, he showed why major league scouts have been camping on his trail all year. In those two innings, he retired six men in succession, and blew the third strike past three of the Kansas hitters.
Meanwhile, the Sooners proceeded to take advantage of four hits and two Jayhawk errors in the first of the eighth to win he game. Elwood Riley opened the inning with a single to center and went to second as Cameron fumbled the ball. After Deaton had advanced him to third with a sacrifice bunt, and Pope had struck out, Riley scored on Blackwell's single. Napier's error and hits by Berryman and Jack Riley gave Pope a three run lead, and he protected it carefully through the eighth and the ninth.

The Forgotten Man
Behind an eightball that has "lack of authority" written all over it, sits the student housing commission. With a war chest of $600, all necessary data, and a definite plan of action, the commission is about as powerful as a smooth-mouthed, clawless lion.
No doubt such a move in Lawrence would create some hard feeling between landladies and the University. But something should be done. Too many students, using false economy as a guide, are roped into bad living conditions by house owners who would rather save money than make life more pleasant for those who live in their houses. The results are bad eyes and impaired health, in general, for graduating seniors whose University refused to protect them.
Four state schools—Kansas State, Emporia, Pittsburg, and Hays—didn't dicker around on petty formality when they had finished their surveys. They took the information, drew up a list of requirements and sent them to landlords saying "take it, or leave it." The system had amazingly good results.
The University does have an interest in housing conditions. The fine dormitories that are being prepared for next fall attest to that. A small group of students will have housing that has been carefully prepared for them by a solicitous University. Students whose conditions are not protected will be asked—and many will comply—to aid in giving "good beds for good boys."
Over $1,500 has been spent on studying the housing situation for students. Three years have been spent in research. Now the group knows what conditions are like and exactly what is needed. But it can do nothing about it, for the University refuses to give it sufficient authority.
It's a shame to let all of this work, not to mention the $1,500 which has been spent, go to waste. A bad condition exists, and the University has the weapon with which to combat it. Will responsible persons say that it is better to risk the health of a student than the goodwill of the landladies?

Mothers
Today is the day set aside for American mothers. Today, if on no other of the year, children take time off to pay tribute and loving affection to her. She catches up on all that over-due show of affection, counts her blessings, and thanks God for a full life.
But across the sea, this day brings no comfort or happiness to European mothers. The rising sun, which three days ago looked down on peaceful thriving Dutch and Belgian cities and villages, today peered into gaping holes in streets and buildings, put there by German
bombs. Mothers with dead sons reflected bitterly on any meaning which the term might have for them. Mother's Day in Europe ironically climaxed three days of hell on earth. There can be no happiness in Europe.
Every American mother is thanking God today for keeping her son out of war. This nation's motherhood is praying that history will not repeat itself, that this country will not again be dragged into war. For today, then, if for not a year from today, the American mother is free to reign in all her glory. This is her day.

Mother's Day Observanc Is 600 Years Old
Citizens of England of 600 years ago and the University st dents since 1922 have had only a few customs in common. T day one characteristic may be outstanding—they have both o served Mother's Day.
The Britons, history tells us, were the first to set aside o day of the year when mothers got out of life something more than the mending of children's clothes.
But tenacious as the English are, they didn't cling to the Mother's Day custom very long. It was 1908 before Philadelphia revived the fashion in America. Growing in popularity, Mother's Day was finally given national recognition in 1914, when President Wilson proclaimed the second day of May to be a side for that special event.
At the University, students observed this anniversary in a catch-as-catch-can sort of way until 1922, when Chancellor Lindley named the first Sunday in May in May as a special time for University mothers to visit the Campus. A reception was given each year for the parents.
It was not until 1928, however, that University groups under the leadership of Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, acting Dean of Women, organized a full two-day program, for the mothers.
University's Mother's Day have included the annual parents' banquet mother-daughter banquets, bac concerts, and awards of prizes to organized houses having the large number of parents present.

Memorial Union Stands As Tribute to War Dead
With the announcement of plans for the remodeling of basement of the Memorial Union building comes discussion the drive conducted to raise funds to build it.
The first World War was still a vivid memory, and the desire to perpetuate the memories of 129 loyal sons and daughters, the University who sacrificed their lives for their country w foremost, when the drive was ___ begun 20 years ago.
Although it is a trifling sum compared to the value of the 120 lives sacrificed on foreign battlefields, $1,-000,000 was set for the total amount to be subscribed for the construction of this shrine. The memorial would be built entirely from money appropriated by students, faculty, alumni' and friends of the University. This was wholeheartedly begun and carried through.
For three years there were widespread drives for contributions. The entire United States was canvassed for funds from old grads of the University. A minimum pledge of $40 was sought from each undergraduate, payable within four years. In the fall of the same year that the drive began a report showed that average pledges from students were exceeding this minimum. The average pledge from each student was approximately $61. Alumni wholeheartedly donated to the cause. A group of graduates from Salt Lake City sent in a total pledged amount of $24,000. In 1923 the final accountancy on the fund showed that from 9,500 pledges a total of $965,000 was pledged.
Plans for the building were drawn up by Irving K. Pond, of Chicago. He designed the building using the Memorial Union building of the University of Michigan as a model. The original plans for the building provided for 14 alumni sleeping roo on the third floor where gradua could stay when they visited University. Only in this one provision did the construction deviate any great degree from the origi plans.
After a year of construction on the basement, the building was formed dedicated on April 30, 1926, with laying of the cornerstone. A copy box was put in the cornerstone containing the names of the 129 dept. front pages of 11 newspapers waived in the memorial campaign copy of the Kansas City Star containing the news of the declaration of war and a copy containing the net of the declaration of peace, graph of Governor Ben Pace's copy of the Graduate magazine piling the history of the memorial drive, a picture of the Jayhawk bark and three roses. A troop of 14 veterans lowered the cornerstone into place.
NDAY,
Interior work on the building begun the following fall and though not entirely complete that is yet to be carried out) building was formally opened Nov. 20, 1927.

Juke Boxes May Carry New Osborne Creation
By William Koester, c'42
You'll be hearing a new song hit from the music shop of Will Osborne and Dick Rogers, one of the maestro's vocalists, within the next two months, it was learned in a post-Cakewalk interview with Osborne early Saturday morning.
The four hours of slide rhythms played by the famous bandleader and company did not end their night's work—at least not for Osborne and Rogers. For 45 minutes after the ballroom was cleared, the composers of "Between Eighteenth'n Nineteenth on Chestnut Street" pecked at the piano and hummed variations of the new tune, which, at this early stage, gives promise of becoming one of the choices for the weekly "Hit Parade".
A romantic ballad, the song may be called "Tm a Fool", Osborne intimated, bordering on the melancholy in its theme. Not one definitely accepted line of lyrics has been written as yet, but to this reporter the ones sung by Dick Rogers would fit in with today's best. The little fellow revealed that he had obtained the inspiration for some of the melody and words from numbers done in a show in which he once played.
"We have over a hundred songs which are still in the experimental stage," Osborne said, "so it is rather doubtful whether we'll drop all the others and finish this one. But Dick and I like it very much and probably will have it ready for publication by

Fans of the band who are interested in listening for more of his unique rhythms may hear him soon from the Meadowbrook, dine and dance resort near Newark, N. J., where the company will open after a short engagement in Columbus, Ohio. They left for Columbus a few hours after the Cakewalk ended.

Bacteriologists To Celebrate
The bacteriology department will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of its organization with a banquet for the department's members and friends in the Kansas room of the Union building Thursday evening at 6 o'clock.
The chief speaker and guest of honor will be Prof. W. C. Stevens, founder of the bacteriology department, who is now retired.
Plan Second--been serving as a prop for Crafton ever since he twisted the ankle on the wet steps a couple of weeks ago. "And I edit it." added Crafton.
Since Fraser theater holds only about 700 persons one deep, the entire cast of the "FATGV" may be able to see the preview if the lighter members sit on the laps of the huskies who carry the heavy parts. In one scene of the "FATGV" there are 150 students in graduation gowns. In another there is the 100-piece KU. band. So you can estimate the possibilities of getting a seat and determine your time of arrival accordingly.
Crafton and his crew are working overtime to have the "Golden Valley" ready for the silver lights on time. The director is within about 30 camera shots of the finish. The scenes which remain to be finished are those in which the band appears. Because the band will not be in uniform until Tuesday morning, the movie cannot be completed before the end of next week.

"Then we will have to edit the film," said Don Dixon, the assistant director and prop man. Dixon has
Meanwhile Mr. Montgomery, of the bureau of visual instruction, is going ahead with the promotion of the premiere.

Having mastered these, he is ready to approach the buildings and ground authorities for spotlights to hang or Fraser hall, the green-house keepers for Kaw valley orchids, and downtown dealers for sleek sedans.
Craft:on is a little abashed at Montgomery's ter-RIF-fipl plans for the premiere, but as director to producer is letting him go ahead.

Hope W.S.G.A. Boost To Dormitory Drive Will Be Made Tonight
Sponsors of the dormitory fund drive looked to tonight's W.S.G.A. meeting today in expectation of a grant from the women's council to the campus-wide drive for dormitory aid.
The drive, initiated by the Men's Student Council, hopes to furnish several rooms or to buy bedding for Alumni Place, men's dormitory which will go into use next fall.
The M.S.C. boosted the drive to the extent of $75 recently. Donn Mosser, c'42, head of the drive, said he hoped the women's council would make an appropriation also.
At least 12 teams will compete in the house-to-house canvass to raise funds, Mosser said today. Captains of these teams are expected to be chosen tonight, and probably will meet tomorrow.
Attempts are being made to secure a room in Alumni Place, at the top of Fourteenth street, for the drive's headquarters. If these plans succeed, meetings of team captains and all committees will be held there, it was said.
Mosser said the committee planned to erect an indicator somewhere on the campus to show how the drive progressed.
The committee will ask both Pan-Hellenic councils for aid also. Mosser was not sure when this request would be made.

Athletes Have Big Time Giving Mellerdrammer
By Jim Bell, c'40
The K-Club muscled its way to a three act decision over "Murder in the Old Red Barn, or The Price She Paid" before a full house in the Little Theater of Green hall last night.
Coach Rolla Nuckles and his team were in superb form. They jumped into a quick lead at the sound of the whistle and kept driving away until the final gun. John Naramore, who can do more things with his eyes than Jerry Cologna, Bill Beven, and Quido Massare led the assault.
The Musclemen proved once and for all that as actors K.U. has the finest athletes in the Bix Six conference. If they could only play Missouri on the stage of Fraser theater instead of Memorial Stadium! Man alive, it would be a slaughter! A Riot of Laughter
The play itself is a riot of laughter from start to finish. Most of last night's audience felt that it was even better than "The Drunkard," presented last year.
Naramore makes the play the success that it is. His ogling and heroic postures brought down the house last night and will probably continue to do so throughout the run which closes Thursday night. The knee-
Bill Beven, a burly pole vaulter, is a most pathetic heroine. She (I mean he) suffers tragically at the hands of the dastardly Naramore, who manages to make a fallen woman of her, kill their child, and at least a half dozen other persons during the 45 minute performance.
sagging, cross-eyed pose he affects while strung upon the gallows at the final curtain, is a masterpiece.
Quido Massare plays the revenge seeking gypsy like he plays guard on Gwinn Henry's football team—with deadly effectiveness. His garbled speeches are at times the funniest thing in the show.
Probably the most appreciated bit in the show last night was the appearance of the Bouncing Beauties, a beef trust chorus composed of Hartman, Jakie Fry, Chester Gibbons, Eldredh Cadawalader, Dick Driscoll, and John Burge. Their pong work on "Ain't She Sweet" done in the best Gillis manner, was called back for the only encore awarded by the audience.
The Famous Four quartet, directed by Otto Kiehl, was good for plenty of laughs at the end of the first act and following the final curtain. Besides Kiehl, the barber shop four included Harry Hill, Bill Arnold

London, May 14 — (UP) Great Britain prepared speedily today to meet a German bombing-parachutist troop attack on the British Isles.
By Wallace Carroll United Press Correspondent
There was growing conviction that a main objective of the Germans in their drive to the Dutch-Belgian coast was to establish bases within 100 miles of the British coast from which they could raid Britain and counter the harrying campaign which British planes are carrying out against German troops in the Low countries.
Guards had already been strengthened at all airports and similar key areas. Military authorities were perfecting plans for a voluntary rifle corps of World war veterans to combat parachutists. The aid of every man capable of handling a gun would be sought to patrol woods and open spaces, particularly from dawn to dusk, and to keep watch with field glasses for planes and parachutists.
It was reported that police stations all over the country already were stocked with arms and ammunition ready for immediate distribution in event of an emergency.
Thousands of soldiers and policemen already have been assigned to special anti-parachutist patrol duty. Steel helmeted soldiers stopped motorists, particularly in coastal areas, and demanded identification papers in connection with a nationwide round-up of aliens.
Germans Smash Into France
By Joe Alex Morris United Press Staff Correspondent
The German army smashed into the edge of France today.
Adolf Hitler's motorized legions sliced through Holland to the sea, broke past the Belgian main defense lines and reached Sedan, France, in a gigantic test of strength—the Battle of the River Meuse—that may decide the war in the Low Countries.
Everywhere, the Germans claimed, their armies and air force were making lightning progress-well ahead of schedule in a drive to seize Dutch and Belgian bases for a Blitzkrieg attack on England and possibly to assault the French Maginot line.
Dispatches from Allied sources
confirmed much of the success claimed by the German high command but said that tremendous AI (Continued on page seven)

Home Ec Banquet To Honor Seniors
A farewell banquet for seniors in the home economics department will be held at 6 o'clock this evening in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
College Men Emphasize Comfort In Spring Clothes
The Home Economics Club is sponsoring the banquet. New officers are in charge of arrangements. They include: Millie Regier, c'41, president; Eleanor Hosford, c'41, vice-president; Georgia Mae Landrith, c'42, secretary; Rose Etta Carr, c'41, treasurer; and Mary Elizabeth Weir, c'41, social chairman.
At this time of year it is safe to say there are two thoughts dominating the college men of the country—final examinations and summer vacations. The situation varies somewhat for the thousands of seniors who are thinking not so much of vacations, which they have enjoyed for three years past, as of the diplomas which await them, and after that—jobs, signalizing their entry into the business world.
In any event, it is the time of national "shedding." Spring has definitely arrived, and with it the first signs of much warmer weather. For those looking forward to their first jobs instead of vacation, the important and necessary element in clothing is that it be both dignified and comfortable. . . and for city wear that word "comfortable" means that
The man on the job will want to enlarge his lightweight shirt stocks, and establish a two-season wardrobe in regular shirts, for an air-conditioned summer at the desk. Lightweight summer shirts have a million tiny holes to allow a free circulation of air. The patterns are naturally light. Collar models come in a variety of styles. The button-down English Dover style collar in oxford shirtings continues to retain its popularity.
For the collegians intent upon obtaining a cool, dignified-appearing wardrobe, the spotlight of fashion this summer is directed largely on one of the fashion firsts—consisting of the worsted suits which hold a press and are cool at the same time, devoid of hte vest and presenting more of the shirt front and having longer, slimmer lines.
with the white linens and Palm Beaches holding a higher place in the South and Far West. The worsteds are most predominant in the blue-grays and grays and blues, with plaids and checks in greater abundance than ever before.
The gabardine gray or striped flannel, are leading favorites in the East.
The universally favorite hat, for both sport and business wear, is the new telescope-brim cocoanut straw in light tan and golden shade, with colorful silk pugree bands. Variations of this are found in the pinch-front crowns. A loose weave is also detected in the crowns, furnishing air-cooled comfort on sweltering days.
Phi Chi Delta Will Honor Seniors With Rose Banquet
The annual Rose banquet honoring senior members of Phi Chi Delta, Presbyterian sorority, will be held tomorrow evening at 6 o'clock at Evans Hearth. Mrs. Deal Six will be the speaker. The theme of the year's program, "Adventures in Friendship," will be carried out.
The committee in charge of the arrangements is Nita Nelson, f'43, decoations; Esther Tippin, c'41, program; Alverta Meyer, c'41, and Rosemary Reazin, Lawrence. Emily Jane Yount, c'40, is general chairman.

Cagers Play Fordham In Garden December 28
As spring basketball practice comes to a close, Dr. F. C. Allen believes he has made considerable progress, although he has not stressed attendance at all of the practice sessions. Dr. Allen is emphasizing studies now so all of the players will be eligible
for their tough schedule next year. Recently, contracts were completed which will take Kansas East next season to meet Fordham and Temple. In Madison Square Garden, December 28, Kansas will play Fordham, and on December 30 the Jayhawkers
will meet Temple at Philadelphia. Kansas will play Texas again next year, but the original dates of December 13 and 14 have been withdrawn because of Christmas vespers to be held on Sunday, December 15.
If the tentative plans are carried
out the games will be played on December 16 and 17. Kansas will also play Oklahoma A. & M. and possibly Loyola. However the dates have not yet been decided.
The Kansas Big Six schedule:
Jan. 8, Oklahoma at Norman.
Jan. 13, Iowa State at Lawrence.
Jan. 16, Missouri at Lawrence.
Jan. 20, Kansas State at Manhattan.
Feb. 10, Nebraska at Lawrence.
Feb. 21, Missouri at Columbia.
Feb. 25, Kansas State at Lawrence,

HORACE MASON Guest Conductor
The Big Six track and field meet, always a gala event, promises to be even better than usual this year . . . It will take place Friday and Saturday at Lincoln . . . For sports fans who will be unable to get to Lincoln we heartily recommend the state high school track meet at Emporia Saturday.
Competition at Emporia is expected to be keenest in the 440, 880 and mile . . . In both classes, A and B, the entry lists in these three events are studded with stars.
The Class A 440 will have special interest for Kansas sports followers in that the "Last of the Eberhardts," Charley, is one of the favorites in this race . . . The rangy Salina ace is expected to follow his brothers, Chris and Fred, to Mount Oread . . . The class of the competitors in this event makes it appear almost certain that the winner will break 50 seconds for his quarter . . . Charley Eberhardt ran a 50 flat quarter as a sophomore in high school, but was slowed down by injuries last year . . . He's o.k. again now and a 49.5 quarter for him would be no surprise.
Similarly, there is a crack field in the Class A 880 . . . Times made by the better half-milers this season indicate a time of 1:58 or 1:59 for the winner Saturday . . . Fred Hill of Holton has the best time, 1:59.8, but is by no means a certain winner . . . Jack Knight of Coffeyville and LaVerne Dolton of Chapman turned in times of 2:02 at the regional meets and should be able to lower that time materially in stiff competition.
Although the Class A mile should be hotly contested, it is doubtful that the winner among the larger schools will have as fast time as the victor in Class B . . . The smaller schools are sending such crack milers to the state meet as J. C. Snyder of Admire, Cecil Seibert of Pretty Prairie, Earl Calder of Gardner, Robert Morstorf of Emmett, Rae Reusher of Clearwater, Keith Winchester of Tribune and Floyd Santner of Minneapolis.
Biggest star of the regional meets was Harry Pruitt, diminutive Independence Negro. Pruitt won the high hurdles in 14.6, sizzled over the low hurdles in 22.2.

Four Teams Undefeated In Softball
Four teams remain undefeated in the men's intramural softball league with only two more days of actual play remaining in the regular season.
These teams, Galloping Dominoes, Alpha Kappa Psi, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Psi, all are assured berths in the playoffs except the Phi Psi's. In Division IV, there are four teams fighting for the two spots in the championship bracket.
Division one standings show the Dominoes with four wins and no losses followed by the Hillside Club which has the same number of wins but also has a loss to mar its schedule. These teams play this afternoon to decide the fate of that division. Both the winner and the loser should go into the playoffs.
In Division two the leaders are the Alpha Kappa Psi's. They are closely followed by the Theta Tau's who have but one loss.
Beta's Defeat Sig Alph's
The results of the Beta-Sig Alph game decided the leadership of Division three. The pitching of Bill Hogben won for the Betas so they hold the coveted spot with only one game to play. The Alphs have gone down to defeat but once and are in the playoffs as their schedule is completed.
The big fight for the division four cup has been narrowed down to three teams as a result of the forfeiting of a game yesterday by the Delta Upsilon team to the Sig Ep's. Undefeated until Friday when they were upset by the oft-defeated Pi K. A.'s this second loss throws the Delta U's out of hte running.
The undefeated Phi Psi's have two games to play and they are both against the teams that are tied for second place, Sigma Nu and Sig Ep. The Sigma Nu team seems to be the most potent of the two teams and it is believed that the outcome of the Phi Psi-Sigma Nu game tonight will prove the ultimate winner of the division.
The playoffs will start Friday for eight of these nine teams and it is our guess that the championship will soon narrow down to a fight between the Sig Alph's and the winner of division four.
Playoffs Start Friday

tmen Face C Play Missouri Here Tomorrow; Lose to K-State
By Orlando Epp, c'42
Kansas State net and linkmen scored a clean sweep over Jayhawker teams yesterday in a dual tennis-golf meet at Manhattan. The Kansas golfers lost their matches, 14 1-2 to 3 1-2, and the netmen dropped theirs by a 5 to 1 score.
Rod Wakeland was the only winner in the golf matches and scored a par 70 for medalist honors. Even in losing the meet, the University golfers posted one of the lowest combined match scores of the season.
York, K-State, carded a 74, and handed Dean Ritchie his first defeat of the spring season. Ritchie turned in a 77. Bill McElhenny toured the 18 holes in an 81, and Bob LeGree scored a 79. but both lost their matches, 2 1-2 to 1-2.

Track Team Prepares For Big Six Meet
By annexing 48 out of a possible 54 points from six field events, Missouri forced Kansas' track team to take a back seat in a first class exhibition in Columbia last Saturday by a margin of only 20 points.
Derrell Mathes won the 100 and 220-yard dashes,and dugged at his cocky opponent as he spend past him in the last lap of the mile relay.
J. R. "Jumper" Jones was nosed out of first place in the broad jump by one inch. Hargiss, who was dissatisfied with Jones' performance, made him try once more after the event was finished. The attempt netted a four-inch better jump than that made by Jones' adversary, but of course, was not recorded.
After his yellow-shirted companions had clinched all 18 points in the shot put and discuss, Waldram of Missouri flipped a 187 foot throw for a first in the javelin. Face, another Tiger, was one foot better than Dawes of Kansas and took his place
Ted Scott galloped up behind Mathes in the 100-yard dash for his three points, and left only a third place berth for the hair-blown Schumitzky, of Missouri.

Conference Meet at Lincoln
Jayhawker golfers last year won the Big Six meet at Ames by the narrow margin of one point. The meet was one of the closest in years with only three points separating Kansas and the third-place team, Missouri. Oklahoma took runner-up honors. Dean Ritchie is the only member of last year's Big Six champions on this year's squad.

Jayhawk Nine Meets K-State Tomorrow
This may not be the case. Since that day in mid-April when the Jayhawks slugged out a 16 to 14 conquest over the Wildcats, the team from Manhattan, discounting a double loss to Oklahoma, has dropped only one game. The Wildcats took two decision from the strong Missouri Tigers at Columbia and then stopped the Iowa State victory streak two days in a row.
It will be almost like out of the frying pan into the fire for Mike Getto and his Jayhawk baseball team when they clash with the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan tomorrow and Thursday.
After giving the mighty Oklahoma Sooners a whale of a battle in the second game of last week's series before succumbing in the seventh inning by a score of 6 to 3, the Kansans walked off the field consoling themselves that this week they could go back to playing mere mortals again.
Wildcats Going Strong
Last weekend, the Kansas State nine broke even in a two game series with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. At present, they are in possession of second place in the Big Six conference standings and have only to meet challenges from Missouri and Iowa State to retain this position.
Burge Pitches Tomorrow
John Burge will pitch against the Wildcats tomorrow, and Henry Horak will take the mound on Thursday. Jim Brock, senior righthander whom the Jayhawks defeated earlier this year at Lawrence is the probable Kansas State hurler tomorrow with either Frank Woolf or Floyd Kirkland working the second contest.
Monte Merkel is scheduled to catch the first game for Kansas. The infield will be composed of Jack Sands at first, Larry Hensley at second, Ray Napier at short, and either Dorus Munsinger or Knute Kresie at third. In the outfield will be Ramie Beims, Miller Cameron, and either Henry Horak or Eldreth Cadwalader.

Track Team---the individual team members and the places they won are as follows:
Several of the Jayhawk trackmen are making a daily tour of the two and a half mile cross country course to strengthen their legs for the conference meet in Lincoln Friday and Saturday.
(Continued from page four) by Waldram with a second in the event.
The "over the hills" course, laid by Coach Hargiss, runs along Eleventh street, west to the Delta Tau Delta house. Here, it swings south to the main east-west campus road, east to the Chemistry building, and back down Mississippi street. A jog from Mississippi street to the stadium finishes a popular course with the trackmen, and when they have completed such a run, they know they have had a workout.
Coach Plots Cross Country Course
Hargiss has encouraged his pupils to take this exercise in order to keep from pulling leg muscles. "I've seen fine runners drop from a pulled muscle in a race, just because their legs can't take the strain," Hargiss explains. "Too much automobile riding, instead of getting out and running or riding a bicycle, ruins runners."
Kansas Fencers Capture Trophy
The first fencing trophy ever to be won by the University of Kansas was won last weekend at the Kansas City Sportsman's Horseshoe and Exposition.
The individual in the places they won are as follows:
In the foils competition, Carlos de Janon, first; and Haven Glassmire, second. In the epee bouts, Glassmire was second, William Belt, third, and de Janon, fourth. In the saber, Belt won first, Glassmire, second, and Dave Francisco, third.
In the team match, Kansas was the winner, with St. John's Military Academy of Salina second. Lorraine Polson was fourth in the women's foils. This was the only event for women fencers.
The trophy is a sun-ray Olympic figure in fencing position. The inscription on the base of the trophy is: "Won by the University of Kansas, foil, sabre, epee." Beneath are the names of the members of the team, William Belt, Jack Cadden, Haven Glassmire, Dave Francisco and Carlos de Janon.
Four Teams---many upsets and other good games. Despite the fact Hocevar pitched good ball and also hit three homers, his team, Delta Upsilon, went down to defeat at the hands of the Pi K. A. crew.

Although the Kansas table tennis team lost to every other team competing in the Missouri Valley intercity table tennis tournament Sunday, the University group gained valuable experience, according to Winford Ferry, intramural chairman of Union activities.
Table Tennis Team Loses at Tourney
Competing with players of national rank in the tournament style of playing will prove useful since all of the men contesting will be on next year's team.
The outstanding Kansas player of the tourney was Perry Petterson, who won seven out of 10 matches under the round robin system, whereby every man on the team plays every other man entered.
Members of the team competing at Kansas City were Petterson, Malcolm Black, Charles Ham, Shirley Irwin, Ellen Irwin.
Women's Intramurals
By CECIL KING
Chi Omega defeated Alpha Delta Pi 17-11 in the only women's intramural baseball game played Friday afternoon. Pi Beta Phi became winners in their division by an Alpha Delta Pi forfeit.
Ada Moseley pitched and Zita Ann Lowry caught for Chi Omega. Dorothy Burkhead scored the only home run of the game on A. D. Pi overthrows. Chi Omega Betty Lou Alphin, diving headlong, slid into second base safely after being caught in a hot box between first and second.
Marian Milhoan, A. D. Pi pitcher, was supported by catcher Alta Armstrong.

Just wait 'til we're rich!
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'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.
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.

Ready or Not Here We Come
Anyone with enough sense to pour water out of a boot will realize that the rising tide of sentiment to aid the Allies "short of war" is but one step further toward the United States' ultimate involvement in the war.
Front page editorials are appearing in the great dailies, booming with HELP THE ALLIES SHORT OF WAR. That voluminous, sanctimonious sheet, The New York Times, weeps that the outcome in Belgium and Holland "...is also victory or death for decent standards of international conduct and the democratic way of life." Research would probably prove that the Times moaned the same thing back in World War I. Yes, the Times, the Chicago Daily News, et al, have their messianic typewriters out of hock and in action.
The aborigines of the neutrality act country are on their way! Congressional leaders agree that, although the time is not quite ripe for the repeal of the Johnson act and the revision of the neutrality statutes, increasing war fever will demand action in this direction.
Helping the Allies "short of war" is just one more step. If it proves to be insufficient—and it looks as though it will be—the United States will take the last, irrevocable step—WAR. At the moment, the Allies are getting all the warplanes and munitions this country can produce for them. If, within the next few weeks, that proves not enough, what more can the United States do besides send military aid? This war is not progressing in the slow fashion of 1914-18. That which took months to decide is now determined in a few days of blitzkrieg.
The determination to protect the Western Hemisphere at all costs is plaudable—by itself. But when it is proposed by those who insist that the Allies must win, it is only a wedge to shove the United States into the conflict. If those who wish mainly for the integrity of the Americas alone were certain that the increased army and navy were to protect our land and our neighbors then it would have their support. But where can one find such assurance? Superimposed above the demand for radically increased armaments is the governmental slogan "The Allies Must Win."
* * *
The United States is far too weak in economic, political, and morale factors to engage in a foreign war. A nation that has been struggling to consolidate its democratic position would do well to continue those attempts. To saddle itself with the woes of Europe would break its back. To continue the strengthening of democracy in the Western Hemisphere is its only chance. Therein lies hope; in Europe lies darkness and oblivion.
Whenever the belief becomes absolutely accepted that the culture of the Americas is so weak that it cannot stand inviolate without the British Empire then the United States is doomed to participation in the European war. Within a short time that belief will become personified by the cry "Is the United States to perpetrate another Munich?"
Roosevelt says he's a pacifist. Yep, and Steinbeck's Lennie just wanted to stroke the woman's pretty hair, too.
What say we all agree that the plaque bearing the names of the war dead in the Memorial Union building is impressive enough without adding the names of the class of 1940,'41,'42 and '43.
★★
A lot of K.U. professors have us in the war already. It will serve them right if the government uses their theses to make wadding for the shells we may shoot.

The foreign situation is pretty dark but at least it's still foreign.

Now, When I Was a Boy-
Some time ago the men's student housing commission was thumbs-downed to silence on its plea to enforce compulsor housing. Compulsory housing, and an administrative vetoes would amount to babying the students, depriving them of the right to grow up like neo-Abraham Lincolns.
Considering the beauties of non-compulsory housing would give any cave man a headache. The rugged individualist student could live wherever he pleases. Luckily he could be open to all the wonders of room exploitation which range from bed bugs, typhoid, and eye-straining light effects to poor ventilation. He could support, with his weekly or monthly stipend from home the aristocracy of Milord and Milady, who rent out rooms little better than flop houses for bums—and little cleaner. Lastly the individualist laboring under a false economy could drive from the business all the honest room-renters who try to maintain a high standard at a certain increase of cost.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Official Student Paper of
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Lawrence, Kansas
If a student who has to obey compulsory housing rules is being deprived of rugged individualism, so is the consumer who buys according to the Pure Food and Drugs Act. So is the needy and willing-to-barrel student who receives a dormitory room on a silver platter. So is the woman who dashes madly under the 10:30 closing hours wire. So is the successful book-borer who accepts a fellowship or a scholarship. All these are as non-individualistic as compulsory housing.
On the other hand the "evils" of compulsory housing are appalling. Housing rules would protect a good number of land-ladies who conduct quality rooming houses. They would purge from the business Lawrence's carpetbaggers who can rent room at a ridiculously low price because they maintain a ridiculous, low standard. They would satisfy the demands of parents who are willing to sacrifice economy for the sake of health.
The argument was nothing more than a reiteration of the quaint, old log-cabin-to-president philosophy, or the now-when I-was-young thesis. The attitude quavered then and is still quavering now, as antiquatedly as Grandpa's horse and buggy or the barn that was built in '72.

These reversed arguments on the issue are as far from the real truth as the administration's decision was far from answering the real need. Compulsory housing may come some day. It will come, however, only when those in authority realize that nothing but a rat is fit to survive in a sewer.

Help you try to bum a cigarette on Marvin Goebel be careful not to take the lone smoke he'll show up first. Goeble carries a "bumming stage" to offer those of us who for a cigarette. If the heel takes at last stick Marvin puts him on his ask list; if he turns it down Goebel cuts the full package out of the her pocket.
You never can tell how close this air business can come to us. For instance: Is there any truth to this imor that the Japanese students have been asked to come home?
And it's not very consoling to read the Kansas City Star's recently lusted scare type announcing the progress of the war and then walk by Fowler shops to see the R.O.T.C. practicing prone shoot positions. In the other hand it probably would be more upsetting not to see some such activity.

Markham Speaks Here Tonight
"What shall I do with my life?" a question many students are asking themselves, will be answered tonight at 7:30 o'clock by W. T. Markham, a member of the Board of Regents, in a vocational guidance talk in Frank Strong auditorium.
Markham will offer suggestions to students who are puzzled as to making the correct choice of their future occupations, and will discuss the methods of analyzing character makeup in order to better solve vocation problems.
Formerly state superintendent of schools, Markham is a member of the state commission of vocational education.
Vocation Clinic Starts Tonight
Students with problems regarding the selection of a major will have the opportunity to hear a vocational expert when W. T. Markham, of the State Committee on Vocational Education, opens the University's first Vocational Guidance Clinic with an address in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall at 7:30 this evening. Markham, formerly state superintendent of education, has studied vocations with respect to openings in each, training, and incomes.
The clinic, lasting the entire week, is organized to give the student individual help in the form of private conferences and interviews with any one of several of seventy advisers drawn from faculty members and Lawrence townsmen. Counseling will take place in the office of the adviser.
First registration will take place this evening following Markham's address. Later enrollment will be in the offices of Elizabeth Meguiar, women's student adviser; Henry Werner, men's student adviser; the Y. M.C.A.; or the Y.W.C.A.

Rippey Slaps Engine Vote Fraud Charge
Branding the charges by three independent engineers of vote fraud as "a cheap political move," the Engineering Council at a special meeting last night ruled the new Council would be installed as elected.
George Rippey, e'41, president of the Council, appointed Dwight Kurth, e'40, and Carl Unruh, e'43, to serve on the probing body. Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the School of Engineering will name two faculty members for the committee. The independents, Unruh, Harold Sells, e'40, and Presson Shane, e'41, said today they were confident that the committee would uncover "evidences of fraud."
The men contended that voting by proxy took place; that a large discrepancy existed between the number of voters in the poll book and the number of ballots marked; and that some students were allowed to vote without presenting required identification tickets. They first made their accusations in the Daily Kansan last Friday.
The independents presented to the Council their charges of irregularities in the annual balloting May 9, but did not ask for a new election as was expected. Their request that a committee investigate the election further was granted after stiff opposition from what the independent trio termed "machine" members of the Council.
Members of the Engineering Council said they took no action on the protests because the "winning candidates received such large majorities that the accusations are unfounded."
Rippey said, "I would have a lot more sympathy with their viewpoints if the charges had first been presented to the Council instead of as blunt, unsupported accusations in the paper."
He said both contending factions had been allowed by the chairman to vote by proxy in "good faith." A proposed change in the Engineering constitution would prohibit all proxy voting. Rippey explained that the final check of the voting showed that 313 names had been checked on the poll books, that 308 ballots were cunted and five ballots voided.
In answering the third charge of the independents, Ripley denied that students were allowed to vote without identification. He said "all voters were properly identified by activity books or signed slips from the Dean,"
Quill Club To Pledge And Initiate New Members
Quill Club members who wish to enter the club contest must have their manuscripts in by the end of the meeting Thursday. A book of poems by Madeline Aaron is to be given as first prize to the best manuscript.
The Quill Club will have in addition to its regular meeting Thursday, pledging ceremonies for Marjorie Van Nice, c'41, and initiation services for Betty Schultheis, c'40, according to Evelyn Longerbeam, gr. president.
Rooming House Lists Being Compiled
The list of rooms available to men students attending Summer School is being compiled by the Men's Housing bureau and should be available about June I, it was announced today by Wilbur Leonard, housing inspector.
Only those houses which were approved for the school year 1939-40
will be listed. So that there be no errors, telephone applications will not be accepted.
749 Seniors----
It is essential that the listings show the name of the householder, the address, and the telephone number; the number of available rooms, whether double or single; the price; and, if meals are available. These listings should be mailed to the Men's Housing Bureau in Frank Strong hall.

Nazis Claim Break In Maginot Line
Report Big Advance Near Sedan
By Frederick C. Oecnsner
By Frederick C. Gettsch.
Berlin, May 15—(UP)—The German high command claimed today to have pierced the French Maginot Line near the textile town of Sedan—a historic, bloody battlefield in Europe's wars and scene of a crushing defeat in 1870.
The German offensive, according to the communique, also carried the Reich's forces all the way up to the Dyle river, a scant 18 miles from Brussels, capital of Belgium.
(Dispatches from Paris and London this morning disputed the German claim of victory but admitted a serious situation where Germans crossed the Meuse near Sedan. Paris pointed out that Sedan is outside the Maginot Line and stated that the main defenses of France's wall of concrete and steel in that section were west of the Meuse river. In any event, the fortifications' around Sedan constitute a weak link in the Maginot line, consisting of fortified positions rather than deep, underground forts).
The advance across the Meuse river the Germans said, was made against a French counter-attack of tanks—weapons unknown 70 years ago when another German army overwhelmed the French and broke Emperor Napoleon III as a power in the counells of Europe.
NO MIDWEEK TONIGHT
There will be no Midweek Dance tonight, announced Leo Johnstone, e40, president of the Student Union Activities board.
Students Hear Markham Talk At Job Clinic
"Many persons go to school, pass courses, and make good grades, but give little attention to tomorrow, and tomorrow is the next day after graduation," W. T. Markham, of the State Commission on Vocational guidance, told a group at the opening of the University vocational clinic week in Frank Strong hall last night.
One of 17 vocational experts heading state programs in this country, Markham cited instances of vocations needing workers and those overflowing with job-seekers. He concluded with general advice on selecting a career. Opportunities exist in the fields of pharmacy, pe-

Mass Army Of Allies Meets Push
By M. S. Handler
Paris, May 15—(UP)—The French high command today hurled thousands of French troops into a new battle of the Meuse where German forces have won a dangerous foothold in the Maginot defense area at Sedan.
(The German high command claimed the Maginot line had been broken at Sedan).
A furious German attack was expected late this afternoon and tonight in an effort to widen and deepen a four-mile foothold which the Germans gained after crossing to the west bank of the Meuse river, in the midst of concrete pillboxes and underground bunkers of the Maginot fortifications.
The Sedan battle at the moment was the danger point of the 200-mile battlefront that runs from the Bastion of Antwerp, Belgium, down through Louvain, to the Meuse and on to the Maginot line itself as far as Longwy at the Luxembourg corner.
It was reported here that scores of divisions have already joined battle or are moving up rapidly to reinforce the battered troops at the front line.
(A division comprises about 15,000 men. The French reference to "scores of divisions" would indicate that possibly 1,000,000 men or more are now battling at the front or ready to go into action.)
All night long the French rushed up new forces to the threatened po-

Vote Dollar Tax To Help Furnish Alumni Place
Efforts to furnish and decorate Alumni place were given a substantial boost today when the class of 1940 voted to contribute its senior memorial dues to the new men's dormitory.
In approving unanimously the recommendations of the senior committee on memorials, the class assessed each graduating student $1 for the gift. Senior officers estimated more than $700 would be obtained for the
dormitory drive.
Laws Lead Attack
Led by shouting senior laws, who formed a solid block in the center of Fraser theater, the class of 1940 swept into effect a proposal that membership in the Alumni association would be optional. By avoiding the payment of compulsory Alumni dues, the graduates held their senior dues to $1.85, 50 cents of which will go for cap and gown rental and 35 cents for the traditional senior breakfast June 10.
The mass meeting was a boisterous affair, boos booming out as each new item of payment was proposed. Henry Schwaller, b'40, president of the class, presided.
He first introduced Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, who explained some of the Commencement activities and elaborated on the printed instructions to the upperclassmen. Ellsworth emphasized a change in the procedure for admitting parents to the Commencement program. In case of bad weather, the event will be held in Hoch auditorium with each senior being allowed to have

Dorm Applicants To Be Considered
Confronted with 158 applications from which to select 118 students for places in the three new cooperative houses to be opened next fall, the committee in charge of selections, under the direction of Olin Templin, secretary of the Endowment Association, will begin the task of "weeding" at their first meeting this evening.
The deadline for applications was set for noon today, although late applicants will be accepted and placed on a secondary alternate list. These students will be considered if any of those selected do not return to school in the fall.
Students will be selected on the basis of scholastic records and need of financial aid. The students will cooperate in the management of the three houses: Battenfeld hall, Brynwood Place, and the former Chancellor's residence. Fifty-two men will live in Battenfeld hall, 40 in Brynwood Place, and 26 in the Chancellor's residence.
One Out of Three Pass Army Air Examinations
Bulletin
The Army air officials who are examining University men at Watkins Memorial hospital will leave tomorrow at 1 o'clock, it was announced today.
All men who expect to receive examinations will have to report to the hospital before noon.
One applicant in every three who are taking the physical examination for admittance to the army air corps on the third floor of Watkins Memorial hospital, are passing. Maj. J. W. Beaton, pilot of the group of examining officers said today.
This average is slightly higher than
the "Flying Carpet Examining Board." as it is officially called, have found at the other universities in this area. More than 35 students have been examined, and more than the original 50 applications are being placed.
The opportunity to place applications for admittance to the air corps will be open until shortly after noon Thursday.
The examining board is made up of four officers, and four members of the crew. The officers are Major H. W. Beaton, pilot, Captain Earl Maxwell, medical examiner, Captain Burt Held, also a medical examiner, and Second Lieutenant C. D. Jones, co-pilot.

College Men Prefer Sport Shirts Comfort Is Emphasized
While the college men who are looking for jobs for the summer are planning conservative summer clothing, the vacationing man puts stress on cruise and country wear, with special emphasis on sports attire for the day and comfortable formal attire for the evening.
His primary interest centers around sport shirts—that will give neck freedom, either by remaining open or by lying comfortably around the neck while worn with ties. The colors range from a dark green right through the spectrum to a light sunny beige. Fabrics are of wools, gaberdines, spun rays, meshes, leno weaves, oxford, and hopsacking. The variety in models is almost as comprehensive as the color ranges.
Most favored model is the coat style "in-or-outer" type sport shirt that can be worn either inside or outside trousers. Strange as it may seem, natural tones and white shades will be more popular this season in some sections than the flasy colored variety of sports shirts. With this conservative trend afoot, the models most often requested are usually those designed for comfort with less showy gadgets, strings, and trick thitungmajigs.
Knitted sportswear is especially adaptable for beachwear and active sports. The colorings run from gay horizontal repeat stripes to all-over solid colors with contrasting trims at sleeves and collar.
Slacks to go with sport shirts are popular in contrasting colors. Blues, browns, and grays are growing in popularity as the favored slacks attire for summer sportwear, in worsteds, gabardines, linens, flannels, and even lighter weaves.

Gray, white, and light tan linens and white homespuns are being worn in increasing numbers with gray and dark blue flannel slacks, in the South and the East.
A greater predominance of plains and checks in sport jackets is shown in the Far West, with the solid light colors in greater favor in the South and East. The slack sets, both in contrasting and matching colors, retain their last season popularity throughout the country; however, with a slight gain in favor of the contrasting shirts, either in solid contrasting colors or bold checks.
Colorful bathing trunks are gaining in popularity, with the short jockey-type, favored in worsted weaves in contrasting colors. There is some gain in the tropical print trunks also.
Topeka, K.C. Students Rate High in K.U. Course
Ninety-five percent of students in Kansas City, Kan., and Topeka taking ground school training in aviation through the University's extension division passed the examination the first time, Lee Gemmell of the extension division said today.
Ground school credit for the courses is allowed by the CAA to be applied toward a private pilot's license. Thirty-four men and women were enrolled in the courses at Topeka and Kansas City.
Instructors of the classes were members of the University faculty in aeronautics of the mechanical engineering department who have taught the regular University ground school courses here.

Meet Aggies In Series
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
You can count on Kansas cagers to make a good showing in Madison Square Garden next December, when they play Fordham. De don't have to be ashamed of our basketball teams in anybody's game.
The intramural baseball standings are drawing to a close with Beta, Alpha Kappa Psi, Galloping Dominoes, and Phi Psi as the leading teams to beat. The D. U's and the Sig Ep's can certainly stand watching in the playoffs.
News from the coast tells us that Bob Peoples I.C.4.A. javelin champion, fell down the stairs of the Phi Psi house yesterday afternoon after practice, and broke his in a cast for six weeks according to physicians. Peoples was favored to win his title again this year. He tosses the spear over 200 feet, and has thrown it farther than any American.
The Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds really had it out yesterday afternoon, when Bucky Walters and Tex Carleton, two old-timers, had at it on the mound. They played 13 innings before the Dodger's came out on top.
BACK TO THE MINORS in Freddy Hutchinson, almost a Detroit hurler for two years, who will play for Buffalo now, because the Tigers were forced to meet their player-dead line last night, so they dropped the expensive young rookie because he still lacks control.
Kansas' hopes rest on "if" at the Big Six meet in Lincoln the weekend. If J. F. Jones can be in shape and his back stays in place. If Glenn Foy can come through in the low hurdles and catch a second in the high timbers. If Ray Harris can see fit to run the two-mile and possibly the one-mile. If Darrell Mathes can nose out Gene Littler in the century and furlong dashes. If Kenny Hamilton will be in shape to run the quarter-mile and anchor the relay team. "IF" we just have good luck in general.
Doc Allen gave his cagers a good stiff workout yesterday afternoon in the last day of spring basketball practice, and the boys looked pretty good.
Vieth Out Of Hospital
LeRoy Vieth, b'41, ended nearly a month's confinement in Watkins Memorial hospital today.
Vieth broke his leg in a softball game April 15 and has been in the hospital ever since.
Price To Speak To Math Club
Members of the Mathematics Club will meet in Room 203 of Frank Strong hall, tomorrow at 4:30, to hear Professor G. B. Price lecture on "A Survey of Mathematical Progress." Professor Price will outline recent developments in the field of mathematics.
Burge vs. Brock On Mound Today At Manhattan
The first and only chance to finish the season with more victories than losses to a Big Six opponent, was placed before the Kansas baseball team this afternoon as the Jayhawks squared-off against the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan for the first of a two-game series.
Two righthanders, John Burge of Kansas, and Jim Brock of Kansas State, were the opposing pitchers in today's contest. Henry Horak, Jayhawk southpaw, will hurl against Frank Woolf or Floyd Kirkland in the second game of the series tomorrow.
Split Games Before
Since breaking even in two games at Lawrence last month, the Wildcats have defeated Missouri, and Iowa State twice, and Nebraska once, while losing two games to Oklahoma and one to Nebraska. The Wildcats' hold on second place was strengthened Monday, when the Oklahoma Sooners clinched the Big Six pennant by conquering the Missouri Tigers 12 to 5. Yesterday, the Bengals came back to give the Sooners their first conference defeat of the year, but the Kansas State nine is still in second place, having won six games and lost four, while Missouri has won five and lost four.
Knute Kresie, who reported before the first Oklahoma contest with a sore back, is still bothered by the injury, but was sufficiently recovered to make the trip with the team. If he is able to play, he will be inserted at third base, but will not be given a pitching assignment in this series.
While the Jayhawkers are in Manhattan, the freshman squad will play intra-squad games both today and tomorrow. Then, when the varsity returns, the regulars will meet the freshmen in a practice game Friday afternoon.
Freshmen Will Play Too
Work on the entrance to replace the elaborate stone stairway on the north side of Frank Strong hall neared completion today as workmen laid bricks for the four pillars to support the remainder of the entrance extending from the second floor doorway.
The Missouri Tigers will come to Mount Oread next Monday, and Tuesday to renew hostilities with their traditional rivals, the Jayhawks. One of the games at Columbia last month was postponed because of rain, is there is a chance that the teams may play a double header on one of the afternoons to make up the postponed battle.
New Entrance Nearly Finished
No other work will be done on the basement doorway other than the brick pillars outside the entrance. On the second floor an iron railing will be constructed around the balcony which was formerly the upper part of the stairway.
Men's Intramurals
Play in the final drawings of the singles in horse shoes, handball and tennis is progressing to such a point that they are asked to have second round results in by 6 o'clock this evening.
The final brackets in tennis and horseshoes have also been drawn and are now under way. In tennis, the Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi drew the top seeded positions. In horseshoes the top seeded positions went to the Beta Theta Pi and Dominoe organizations.
Golf has not progressed very fast and the only match that has been played so far is between Kappa Sigma and Phi Gamma Delta. Phi Gam won the match.
Ellen Irwin, c'41, won first place in the women's division of the Memorial Union table tennis tournament by defeating her sister, Shirley, in the final match yesterday.
By defeating Norma Tibbets, runnerup in the tournament last fall, Ellen advanced to the finals. Shirley defeated last fall's winner, Doris Johnson, c'42, to advance to the final bracket.
Ellen Irwin Wins Ping Pong Meet
In the men's division, Charles Ham, ph'42, defeated Morris Keyser, c'42, and will now play Malcolm Black, l'42, for the semi-finals. The winner of this game will play Robert Chapman, c'42 in the final game.
Medals will be awarded to the winners in each division.
Sigma Nu's Break Phi Psi Winning Streak in Baseball
Phi Kappa Psi's winning streak was broken last night by the strong Sigma Nu outfit. The game went eight innings and the final count was 6-5. Beta finished the season in a blaze of glory by capping its undefeated record with a win over the Kappa Sigma's, 32-4.
In the Sigma Nu-Phi Psi game the game was tied up 3-3 at the end of the third, when Steve Meade connected with a long one for a homer, in the fourth. This lead was unchanged until the last of the sixth when the Sigma Nu's tied it up 4-all and forced the game into an extra inning.
In the first half of the exta stanza, it looked like Miller, Phi psi hurler, had won his own ball game when he slammed ou a homer giving his team a 5-4 lead. In their half the Sigma Nu's were able to drive in the tying run only with the assistance of several walks and with two out, it looked like there would be more extra innings, until Higgins, Phi psi fielder, dropped an easy pop-up fly and the winning run walked across.
Beta's Victors Again
Beta's combined sheer power and fine pitching to win their final game. Led behind the bat by Geiger and Pierce who each got five hits out of their six trips to the plate and working with Hogben, who pitched ten strikeouts, the Beta's run up the huge total of 32 runs. Stoland hit two homers for the winners. The Beta's scored 15 runs in the third inning.
Sigma Phi Epsilon remained in the battle for the playoff berths in Division IV, by trouncing the A.T.O. team to the score of 19-5. Ivan May contributed two home runs to the cause and played a good game in the infield.
Phi Alpha Delta defeated the Theta Tau team 13-9 and in thus doing, opened up the race for the second playoff spot in Division II.
I. S.A. forfeited to the Alpha Kappa Psi team.
The Dominos were able to win from the Hillside Club, 8-4, and thus keep their record clean with five wins and no defeats.
Spitzerbergen is the most northerly inhabitable land in the world.

Henry McLemore
New York, May 15—(UF)—Like misery, idiocy loves company.
Which, perhaps, is why of all the managers in baseball, from the lowliest bush league to the majors, Frankie Frisch is my favorite.
Here is a genuine old master of a Zany. Here is an authentic home-spun loon. Here is a sterling silver, 24-karat, guaranteeed not to run off.
Anytime any of us behave queerly we have only to think of Frank Frisch to be consoled by the knowledge that nothing we could ever do would match his voluntary acceptance of the job as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Frisch. I mean.
Look back a year ago. In 1939 at this time Frisch, after many arduous years in baseball, both as a player and a manager, was settled down in a soft broadcast job. All he had to do was to report at the Boston ball park when the Bees were in town and describe the game over the air. For this he was paid a handsome salary. Some guesses fixed his income at as much as $25,000 a year. When the day's game was over his worries ended. He could get up and go home without a thought as to tomorrow's pitcher, the batting averages of his outfield, or the standing of the clubs. He had time for golf and sailing and puttering around in his garden. His was a happy leisurely, and carefree life.
Then Frisch made a decision that must have made every psychiatrist in the country prick up his ears and make a note to add his name to their mailing list. Frisch accepted an offer to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates. For much less pay he agreed to take charge of a baseball club that didn't have a chance to do any good in the National League this season, and one packed with more problem children than an unfashionable reform school.
The Pirates, whether they deserve it or not, have the reputation of being good time Charleys, loafers, and quitters in the clutch. Frisch knew all of this, but, with a high, shrill laugh of glee, and a declara-

tion that he loved baseball so much that he would make any sacrifice to get back in harness, he jumped at the job. Never in the history of the game has a man given such a demonstration of love for baseball.
Compared to Frisch, Abner Double-day despised the game, Connie Mack hates it, and the Brooklyn fans loathe it.
Since Frisch took charge, the Pirates have won but six games, while losing thirteen. And Frisch has suffered. They say that while the Pirates were losing nine straight games in the West only loving hands prevented Frisch from doing a swan dive from his bedroom window or swinging on himself with a fungo bat.
Today, at the Polo Grounds, friends from Frankie's home town of New Rochelle, N.Y., will honor him with a presentation at home plate. The nature of the presentation has been kept secret but from the grape vine comes word that they will present Fankie with:
2. A portable x-ray set with which he can take pictures of his head and possibly find out the reason he quit his broadcasting job to run the Pirates.
1. A hounds tooth straight jacket, cut on the bias.
3. A left-handed pitcher capable of giving up no more than three earned runs per inning.
Art Work Selected by Bloch For New Mexico Exhibit
4. A Pinkerton detective to aid him in keeping track of his players once night falls.
At the request of the exhibition director of the Coronado Quarto Centennial, to be held this summer in New Mexico, Prof. Albert Bloch, head of the Department of Drawing and Painting in the School of Fine Arts, has assembled works of painting and sculpture from Lawrence.

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER
His Tribute to Mothers
Just three days ago Reginald Buxton paid tribute to the Mothers of America in this column. He glorified our motherhood in a manner that is done too infrequently.
Last night Reginald Buxton's mother died at her home in Ransom.
The Kansan wishes to extend its deepest sympathies.
Current trends indicate that what the United States had better do is replace its jackasses in South America with some Trojan horses. If it acts soon, it may not have to fight off invading forces of Germany or Japan in the Western Hemisphere. If it does not act soon, these countries will make hay while Uncle Sam is debating the question of the Johnson vs. Garand rifles.
Trojan Jackasses
Japanese traders are going full blast in the South American countries. Since the United States let its morals get the better of it and abrogated the Japanese trade treaty, the Little Brown Men have been working hard down South. A new Japanese trade treaty has recently been signed with Argentina and Uruguay, and more are authoritatively rumored to be in the making.
While the Japanese are taking over the trade relinquished by Germany because of the war, they are also cutting into the United States' preserves. The regulations of the Argentina treaty discriminate against the United States on more than 1,200 items, according to a dispatch in the New York Times. More than 1,000 of these items figures prominently in United States exports.
With the trading the Japanese is conducting in South American countries goes the inevitable propaganda. Although they no longer trade much in South America, the Germans
Surprisingly enough the Japanese didn't get these treaties by dirty methods. They simply offered the Argentine a fair deal. Instead of employing the good old American custom of trying to sell more than is purchased, the Japanese have offered the South American countries a very favorable balance of trade with which they can purchase Japanese goods. At the end of March the Argentine has a favorable balance of 11,000,000 yen—collected in 1940.
The United States, of course, does fairly well in South American. Its exports from September to February jumped 50 per cent as a result of the shutting off of European markets of iron and steel products, machinery, and manufactured goods. Just how long such business will last is problematical. The war and momentary gains from the war have increased United States imports from South American countries, giving them something with which to purchase our goods. But most of this business has been handed to the U.S. on a silver platter; despite the herculean efforts of Cordell Hull, the United States' policy in such matters is still partly in the hands of groups like the Flint hill cattlemen, who scream every time they see a can of Argentine beef resting on their butchers' shelves.
still conduct a propaganda system that has few rivals. As usual, the United States fifth column lags.

Class Gifts Started In 1873 By Seniors
When members of the senior class met this morning Fraser theater to decide on a class gift, they followed a tradition begun in 1873 by the first class graduated from the University.
Since that time, forty-one classes have left memorials on the Campus. The tradition has died out at times, but always stud loyalty has revived it.
As the years passed, class gifts became larger and a distinct change came about in the type of memorial left. The first gift mainly art works, were purely for esthetic enjoyment. Last gifts came to be of a more useful nature, retaining, in some cases, their artistic value. 1919—Memorial tablet in Memorial Union building.
One early class, that of 1877, planted trees and vines on the Campus. It was at that time that trees were set out in Marvin grove. For a number of years after this, gifts were mainly in the form of loan funds. The class of 1928 chose to honor University men and women who died in the World War.
Since the completion of the Memorial Union building, in most cases, classes have placed at least a part of their gift there. In its capacity as both a student and alumni building, it seems a most fitting place.
Memorials which the various classes have left are:
1873—Engraving, "The Temple o Karnak."
1874-Engraving, "Vue de l'Ile de Philoe."
1875—Engraving, "The Roman Forum:" $28 to student loan fund (Given in 1910).
1883—$4 to student loan fund. (Given in 1910).
1877—Trees in Marvin grove.
1890—Rare books. (Several gifts).
1894—$342,30 to start University loan fund.
1895—$18.25 to student loan fund.
1896—$100 to student loan fund.
1897—$150 to student loan fund.
1898—$133.10 to student loan fund.
1899—$33.40 to student loan fund;

at the Alpha Chi house may be so good, but Geryn Ann Green is gone a little far in bringing the hot home. When the heat was fed on yesterday for the first time weeks Geryn left her goldfish on radiator.
Last night four finny corpses bubbed in their own juice. There was a tilting and tearing of hair as theapter gathered around to try alternate hot and cold packs in a fu-attempts at reviving the diminu-
e densens of the aquarium.
Dick Ash, returning from Wichita
unday with Gamma Phi's Susy

stick stops as a result of a hard Sat-
day night.
Ash, miserable enough to begin
with spent the entire trip pleading
with the girls not to tell sorority
ister. Maybe Little, that he had been
the party Saturday.
The hard bargaining Gamma Phi's
listed the only way he could hush
um up was to have all three of the
els over for lunch at the Delt house.
To date the invitation has not been
rethcoming.
John Naramore, villain of the current K-Club production, brought a date to watch the play last night. As she started making Fagan-like passes innocent heroine Bill Bevin the gang lady in the audience whished, "Why, Johnny isn't like that at!"

Seniors Aid---two relatives present. Alumni will be permitted to see the annual ceremony only if it is staged in Memorial stadium. Reports on Breakfast
Bill Waugh, b'40, chairman of the senior breakfast committee, reported on the plans for that event and his proposal of a compulsory 35 cent charge was adopted.
The class memorial was voted following the report by Bob McKay, b'40, in which he announced the committee recommended the contribution of $1 per senior to the dormitory. A suggestion that the class provide a neon sign for Fraser hall roof, was made too late for consideration.
Following McKay's appearance, Balfour Jeffrey', 28, chairman of the Alumni association membership committee, "invited" the class to join the organized graduates en masse. Faced from the start by an obviously unsympathetic audience, Jeffrey resorted several times to risque humor to draw laughs.
But although the seniors haw-hawed his stories, they booed any suggestion that they make Alumni membership compulsory. Voting vocally the motion of Andy Hibbard, 141, the seniors gave the School of Law machine unmistakable support for the optional membership plan.
President Schwaller said senior dues must be paid at the University Business' Office before May 20.
Mass Army----
sitions at Sedan. In the air both French and British bombers were pounding with uninterrupted vigor against the pontoon bridges which the Germans had placed across the Meuse.
British Are Reported Holding Own in Belgium
With British Expeditionary forces, in Belgium, May 15—(UP)—British forces, supported by the Royal Air force, today were reported holding their main line positions in Belgium in the face of admittedly increased German pressure.
Capitulation of the Dutch was admitted to have increased the seriousness of the situation in which British and French armies found themselves in Belgium.
Royal Air force bombing planes attacked German positions all night and at dawn RAF fighters took off to resume the battle with the German air force, which was broken off at dusk Tuesday.
British mechanized units reported that Nazi columns had attacked Allied advance posts "with determination" and it was conceded that the Germans at some points had advanced.
But field dispatches reported the British and French holding firm in the main defense positions into which they have moved since the start of the blitzkrieg.
Dutch Surrender Arms As Germans Enter Hague
London, May 15. (UP)—German troops entered the Hague, capital of the Netherlands, today and Dutch troops surrendered their arms to them, the Holland radio announced.
Townspeople of the Hague awoke this morning to hear the roar of motors of low-flying German airplanes, the radio said, and at 8 a.m.
(12:40 a.m. CST) ) a column of 100 German motorized vehicles drove into the city.
The officer commanding the German forces, together with four high German navy and army officers, reviewed the German troops.
Students Hear----
troleum engineering, veterinary in medicine, and the transportation industry, particularly air craft, Markham told the goup. At the present time Kansas has between fifty and sixty openings for pharmacists, and the University which has the only School of Pharmacy in the state will graduate thirteen students this June, according to Markham. Due to the scarcity of petroleum engineers in Kansas, that industry has forced to supplement its payroll with persons drawn from outside the state. In discussing the possibilities in veterinary work, the vocational authority said the average income of veterinarians far exceeded that of physicians.
Best careers for college women are vocational home economics, dietetics, nursing, and social work, Markham believed.
Pointing out the treacherous paths of the nation's vocational setup, he warned, "The professions represent seven percent of the gainfully employed in the United States, yet 90 percent of the high school students and the majority of the college students wish to prepare for professions. Further explaining, Markham noted, "Six hundred students at the University have enrolled as pre-medics for a class of 80 each year." The field of law also is crowded, he said, as out of 10,000 graduates of 1939, only 4,000 are now practicing. Another blue field lies in education. Incomes for Kansas teachers fall low and the teaching field is overflowing, especially in English and mathematics.
Remarking generally, Markham advised students to study their various abilities, for fields offering the most opportunities and then to train for them. He does not believe job-seekers should enter newly arising trade schools since the majority prepare too many for a position.
Markham concluded his address with answers to questions from the audience.

W.S.G.A. Gives $100 to Fund For Men's Dorm
Jean Steele, c'41, gave a report of the activities of the general committee on the dormitory drive and presented a resolution that the W.S.G.A. give $100 to the dormitory fund to be spent subject to the approval of a committee composed of O'Theen Huff, c'41, president of W.S.G.A., Jean Steele, c'41, and Nancy Kerber, fa'42, which proposal met with the unanimous approval of the council.
The bill to keep the office of the dance manager, passed by the M.S.C., was amended and passed by the W.S.G.A. to the effect that the manager would be subject to a committee of four members, two of which are to be appointed by each council. By this bill, he will be paid a fixed salary instead of a salary based on a sliding scale, as has been the case. Before the bill becomes effective, it will be necessary for M.S.C. to accept the amendments made last night.
W. S.G.A. appropriated $100 last right at its regular meeting for the men's dormitory fund, an increase of $25 over the grant recently passed by the M.S.C.
The varsity dance manager bill and a bill affecting parking regulations were amended and passed in rapid succession by the council.
The parking bill, which came over from the M.S.C. met with a similar fate when it was torn down and remedied to suit the fancies of the feminine legislators.
According to the financial report by Jean Robertson, c'41, the deficit incurred from the musical show "Sing 'n Swing" was $107. The balance in the treasury amounts to $557.98, after a total expenditure by the council for the year July 1, 1939 to May 14, 1940 of $1,349.25.
Had the little man, placed above the entrance to the library to denote progress of the Y.M.C.A. drive for a $400 Chinese fund, kept walking, he would have fallen on the lawn, because final results show that a total of $425 was raised from sources within the University.
Hill Chinese Fund Goes Over Goal
The $400 was given to the national committee and $25 was given to Dr. Koo, to finance his trip on to Canada. In addition to the money secured on the Hill, persons downtown donated $207, making a total of $632 from the city of Lawrence.
Last year the amount given to the Chinese was $407.
Seven entries have been received in the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis Memorial essay contest on applied Christianity, Seba Eldridge, chairman of the contest committee, announced today. The winners of this contest will be announced within the next two weeks.
Seven Entries Submitted In Lewis Essay Contest
Competition in the contest is open to all students. Prizes amounting to $250 will be awarded for the best essays on some phase of the general theme, "The Application of the Teachings of Jesus to the Practical Affairs and Relations of Life."
FDR To Request New War Plan
Washington, May 15—(UP)—President Roosevelt will ask Congress today or tomorrow for a war preparedness program that may exceed the original $500,000,000 cost estimate, but will fall short of $1,000,000,000.
Major emphasis is expected to be placed on land and air forces. The army—notably anti-aircraft defense and mechanized equipment—apparently is about to come into its own after lean years.
The new defense program will cover additional immediate spending and future authorizations. It will again break all peace-time national defense spending records.
Mr. Roosevelt has asked Congress several times to break previous peace-time record for armaments. But this request comes in the face of Europe's spreading conflagration and in an effort to keep that "four-alarm" fire out of the Western Hemisphere.
Overall needs for the army's proposed "protective mobilization force" to put 1,000,000 men in the field within three months of the outbreak of war would cost about $1,465,000,000 divided as follows:
2. $225,000,000 for "critical" or first priority items.
1. $84,000,000 for "essential"
items.
3. $300,000,000 for the air corps.
4. Approximately $100,000,000 for improving industrial production conditions.

Senior Gift To New Dorm Hiked $1,100
Senior class president Henry Schwaller estimated today that the contributions of the class toward furnishing and decorating Alumni Place would exceed $1,800, instead of the $750 previously estimated.
Schwaller based his estimate on the fact that the class will recke $600 on senior invitations and an additional $750 from senior class dues.
Profit from the rental of caps and gowns for graduating seniors will further boost the amount by $200, Schwaller said. With a profit expected to result from the annual senior breakfast in the Memorial Union building, the fund will be further increased to the $1800 fund now estimated, Schwaller said.

Nazi Forces Batter Allies At Louvain
Here's What Nazis Claim
Berlin, May 16—(UP)—The German High Command reported today that Nazi armies were hammering forward through southern Belgium in a drive designed to encircle the Allied defenders before Louvain, Brussels and Antwerp.
The German armies that smashed across the River Meuse in France near Sedan were reported in the High Command communique to have beaten off powerful counter-attacks in the Maginot Line defenses, where the biggest French tanks were thrown into battle in an attempt to break the German foothold.
While the Germans clung to their positions in the Sedan sector, however, the Nazi drive across the Meuse river south of the Belgian town of Namur and thence westward continued, the High Command said.
"Our divisions extended their successes on the western bank of the Meuse river and here again defeated French armored forces," the communique said. This drive, intended to slice across southern Belgium, was an attempt to cut off the Allied forces defending Brussels and Antwerp by a flanking movement while ther Nazi forces engaged the British, French and Belgians along the Dyle river defense line and at Namur.
The High Command communique said nothing about the fighting before Antwerp or Brussels, although it was known that severe battles were in progress along the Dyle river front. (This may have indicated that the Nazis were concentrating on widening their advance south of

Europe Calls Graduate To See War With Ambulance Corps
The long rows of pictures of the University World War dead on the wall in Memorial Union building are enough to throw the fear of war and death into the average student and graduate—but not Robert Scott Raymond, a business graduate of 1934.

He will sail on the S.S. Manhattan for Genoa, Italy, this Saturday. This is the only port in Europe still docking American ships. Should Italy go to war on the side of Germany while Bob is enroute to that country, he

Ducats for Premiere Are Going To Be Scarce
By Wandalee Carlson, c'42
How to wrangle an invitation to the premiere of "Far Above the Golden Valley" will be the problem of University students from now until May 29.
Who will be among the favored few to feel the thrill of an opening night with all the Glamour of orchids, directors, spotlights and such stars as Ann Rightmire, Ester Mitchell, Les Hixon, Fred Litttooy, and David Lawrence? there will be three
Out of the 700 able to attend the opening in Fraser theater a majority of the invitations will go to the cast of approximately 300 and professors of the University. But even if you aren't among the lucky ones you will still have a chance to see the picture. Unless plans are changed
there will be three or four showings of the forty minute film immediately after the premiere.
A sneak preview of the picture was held yesterday in the motion picture class of Allen Crafton, director of the film and professor of speech and dramatic art. This was held mainly for the purpose of editing.
Kansans Tops Air Exams Show
Five more applications for admittance to the army air corps were accepted this morning, Major H. W. Beaton, pilot of the "Flying Carpet Examining Board," announced at noon today.
This number brings the total of accepted applications to 19. A total of 45 applications were considered.
"A little more than 42 per cent of the applications were accepted, a better average than for any of the other schools we have visited," Major Beaton said. "However, the average for our entire trip which includes about 17 colleges and universities will probably not be more than one out of four. Until we came here, the average was only about five." glasses, or had another
The pilot of the "Flying Board" remarked, however, that about 10 applicants were not formally examined. "It was obvious that they were either too tall, too light, had to wear
glasses, or had another defect that made it impossible to consider them," he said.
The "Flying Carpet Examining Board" is composed of Major Beaton, (See below)

Here's What Allies Claim
Paris, May 16, (UP), A spearhead of German armored columns battered Allied lines outside Louvain, martyr city of the World War, today in a thrust for Brussels and Antwerp.
Louvain was described as the vortex of hurricane battle that raged from Sedan on the Maginot Line to the Bastion of Antwerp where the Allied left flank is anchored.
French advices asserted that the Germans were striving to repeat the techniques of their polish campaign by hurling amored columns through the allied defense lines for lightning blows against rearward communications.
These efforts, it was said, are concentrated at the lines defending Louvain, again battered and bombed 20 years after it was devastated in the German sweep through Belgium in 1914.
The Louvain lines are held by the British as are the bulk of the positions from Louvain north to Antwerp. They are aided by Belgian troops and by some remnants of the Dutch army which managed to reach the Allied lines.
The Faris Soir reported that a great battle was raging between Antwerp and Namur and that Brussels was the immediate German objective. The Germans were understood to be using little artillery except for the comparatively small guns carried by the armored troops and the cannon-equipped heavy tanks.
LONDON, MAY 16—(UP)—Admitting that Belgian forces had withdrawn in an orderly manner at some points before a powerful German tank and airplane attack. Belgian Minister of Communications Paul Delfosse asserted today that the Germans were suffering heavily and that the Liege, Namur and other forts held out.
PARIS, MAY 16.—(UP) — The battle on the Namur-Sedan front has become a war of movement with motorized elements and aviation on both sides taking part, the High Command said in its morning communique today.

Sport Shoes Trade Awkward Look For Trimness
--fabrics, color combinations, and tricky details of trim.
Gone forever are the days when you excused the awkward look of your sports shoes by dwelling on their comfort. Now this same type of shoe is very nearly a paragon of virtue. Besides their superlative fit, today's sports shoes are beautifully styled and designed. There is no look of heaviness or clumsiness about them but they convey the impression that they are meant to lead an active life.
Saddle shoes with a difference are those that tie at the side or have comfortable low wedge heels. One with a moccasin toe and walled last has a special wedge and sole of
It is as though season after season of sport shoe styles have been culled and only the best features of each retained. Chille tie, saddle classics and moccasin toes are old friends of long standing, but they are all treated to variations in
Two new colors have come in for the lion's share of attention. One shade, known as antique tan, is exactly right for your best tweeds.

Banana-colored buckskin is the other newcomer. It is combined

with colored suede or calf in a variety of styles and is destined to be a far more interesting accent than white for many light colors.
There's more than a brief bow to the masculine influence in one group of walking and golfing shoes. These look exactly like men's oxfords built on a smaller scale. The golf shoes have removable spikes and some of the walking shoes have a composition sole that is flexible, very light in weight and cool for summer. They are shown in two harmonizing tones of calf.

Captains Named for Dorm Drive
Twelve team captains who will lead house to house campaigns in the drive for funds for Alumni Place, new men's dormitory, were announced today by Jim Burdge, cochairman of the drive committee.
ck Dalby, fa'40, assistant director of the University Band, will "keep company" with some of the country's leading professional and university band directors when he goes to St. Paul, Saturday, to judge the baton twirling division of the National High School band contest.
The following will head the various teams: Ben Matassarin, c'52; Verlyn Norris, c'43; Dave Watermuldur, c'42; Russell Baker, c'42; George Kettner, c'42; Bill Hogle, b'41; Fred Robertson, c'42; Howard Sells, c'43; Lee Huddleston, b'41; Bob Marietta, c'40; Rudy Kovach, e'40; and Carl Moritz, c'40.
Dalby to Judge National Contest For Baton Twirlers
Dalby, a solo batonist in the band for the past four years, was one of the few college students selected as a judge. All bands from region II will be represented. The contest will correspond to the regional contest held in Kansas City last weekend where Russell L. Wiley, University Band director, was a judge.
Joint 'Y' Meeting Sunday Morning
The Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. cabinets for next year will hold a joint meeting in Henley house next Sunday at 9 a.m. They will discuss the subject "Why a Christian Association on the Campus?" the following Sunday, May 26, Miss Eda Paddock, executive secretary of the Y.W.C.A. and John J. O. Moore, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A. will talk on the implications of a Christian community.
These meetings are being held as a foundation for next year's work in the two organizations. In conjunction with this preliminary work the several commission groups of the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. have been meeting for the purpose of setting up general objectives for next year, choosing specific projects for the carrying out of these goals, and dividing the responsibilities of cabinet work among the several members.
The Missouri Tigers, who are resting in third place in the Big Six standings, clash with the Jayhawks here next Monday and Tuesday. Prospects are bright for three games instead of the two which were originally scheduled, because rain forced postponement of one contest at Columbia last month.

Peterson Gets Gold Medal
Perry Peterson, c'42, received a gold medal today from W. C. Vogh, president of the Kansas City Table Tennis League, for his outstanding playing in the Missouri Valley inter-city table tennis tournament held in Kansas City Sunday.
The medal was accompanied by a letter from Mr. Vogh, which commended Peterson on his excellent playing. It said in part:
"Although the Kansas University team was unfortunate enough to lose all its matches in the tournament all the members of that队 showed excellent cooperation." Peterson received the medal as the player of the greatest value to his team.
In announcing the award, Winford Ferry, c'40, chairman of intramural
activities, said that the gift was wholly unexpected. He believes that members of the team, although losers in the recent tournament, have gained valuable experience for next year's season. Matches have already been scheduled with four universities for next year: Kansas State College at Manhattan, Nebraska University, Kansas City University, and College of Emporia.
Those taking part in the tournament at Kansas City were: Perry
Peterson, c'42, Malcolm Black, l'42,
Charles Ham, ph'42, Shirley Irwin,

March winds still whistle through May blossoms, but the calendar "ain't liein' " and June is up the next block. Landladies are already pointing out the advantages of warm running water all day long, sunny southern exposures, a shower in the basement, and that cool
sleeping porch.
Soon the pool will open, wash pants will bloom, and shorts will be shorter.

Henry Horak On Slab Today In Manhattan
Manhattan, May 16—(Special)—Henry Horak, the Jayhawk's man of all work, will forsake the comparative obscurity of right field this afternoon, and toe the pitching rubber in a final attempt to give the Kansas baseball team an even break for the season with the Kansas State Wildcats.
Six Kansas errors, more than offset stout batting by Mike Getto's club yesterday, and the Jayhawks dropped their eighth straight Big Six game to the Wildcats by a score of 11 to 4.
Burge Allows Nine Hits
John Burge pitched the entire nine innings for the Jayhawks and limited Kansas State to nine hits, while his teammates were collecting twelve off Jim Brock.
In the sixth inning with Kansas trailing by seven runs, Horak blasted one of Brock's deliveries over the right field fence for a home run. The Jayhawks added two runs in the eighth and one more in the ninth, but were unable to overcome the early lead built up by the Wildcats. Interference By Merkel
Chris Langvart, husky Kansas right fielder, precipitated a lengthy controversy between the rival teams when he stole home in the fourth inning and was called safe on interference by Catcher Monte Merkel.
Knute Kresie, Kansas pitcher and third baseman, who has been forced to remain out of competition for the past few days because of an injured back, was recovered sufficiently yesterday to play third base for the Jayhawks.

SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
Both the Kansas golf and tennis teams won yesterday. This is the first time that both the linkmen and netmen have come out on top together. Usually one team wins and the other goes down in defeat . . . Explanation of the double victory: We played Central College.
HEADING FOR A RECORD . . . is the smooth-working infield of the Kansas City Blues. Priddy, Sturm, and Rizuto have set a mark of 190 double-plays for this season as their goal. So far in only 29 games, they have made 36 double-plays.
The Kansas diamond team came out on the short side of the score yesterday afternoon when the K-State baseballers whipped the Jayhawks 11 to 4. John Burge gave up less hits than did Brock of the Aggies, but the fielding behind Burge was terrible . . . Eight errors were credited to the Jayhawkers.
Coach Ward Haylett, Kansas State cinder mentor, sees a very close Big Six track meet this weekend at Lincoln. In the race for the title, Haylett sees Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, and his own Aggies . . . What Ward, not Iowa State and Kansas?
ON THE MEND this time, we hope, is Ralph Miller, who had his knee operated on this morning at Watkins hospital by Dr. C. B. Francisco, Kansas City bone specialist, who operated on "Cappy" last summer. At noon today, Miller's condition was "as good as can be expected" but the K.U. football and basketball star will be in the hospital 10 days.
Although Hugo DeGroot, Southern California, brother of E. B. DeGroot of the K.U. physical education department, has been ailing with an injured arm, he flipped the javelin 220 feet to win the first place honors in the West Coast Relays last Saturday . . . If a man is lailing and can still throw the javelin 220 feet, get me a ticket to see him throw when he is in condition.
High school and junior college track men are so good in California that at times it's hard to tell them from the stars of the big schools . . . Saturday, Clyde Jeffrey of Stanford, ran the 100 in 9.5 at the West Coast Relays . . . That looks pretty good until you begin comparing it with other marks made the same day . . . Harold Davis, Salinas, Calif, Junior College star, ran 9.5 that afternoon and Eddie Morris of Huntington Beach, Calif. high school broke the tape in 9.6 in still another meet.
Morris is rated the finest high school sprinter in the country . . .

Golfers; Netmen Finish Season With Victories
Jayhawker golf and tennis teams ended their regular season yesterday with double victories over Central College of Fayette, Mo., on the local courts and links. The teams left this afternoon for the Big Six meet at Lincoln.
Playing in their last match before their defense of the Big Six title, the linkmen scored a $11\frac{1}{2}$ to $6\frac{1}{2}$ win over the Missouri school. Coach William H. Shannon used a revised lineup with Bill McEilhenny and Rod Wakeland changing 2 and 3 positions and Sam Hepworth playing his first match with the varsity golfers.
Ritchie Is Low Man
Captain Dean Ritchie led the Kansas golfers with a three-over-par 75. Rod Wakeland scored a 77 for the other Jayhawk win in the twosome matches. An 82 by Oeth of Central was the best the men from Fayette could offer in medal scores. Foursome combinations of Ritchie and McElhenny, Wakeland and Hepworth played together for the first time and won both their matches $2\frac{1}{2}$ to $\frac{1}{2}$.
With the final doubles match called because of darkness and ending in a draw, Kansas netmen closed their regular season with a $5\frac{1}{2}$ to $1\frac{1}{2}$ victory. Five singles matches instead of the usual four were played, Jayhawk racquet wielders winning all but the first. Howard Engleman lost his match to Brown of Central, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6.
The summary:
Golf twosomes — Ritchie, Kansas,

Miller first injured his knee in the Iowa State-Kansas football game in the fall of 1938, and has subsequently reinjured it several times. Surgery was performed on the knee last August, but as it failed to respond favorably, it was deemed advisable that Miller undergo another operation.
Kansas will enter 19 men in 11 events in the corn-shucker state, and all but seven will be contestants on Friday, the day of the preliminaries. Entries for the one- and two-mile runs, and
Dr. C. B. Francisco, orthopedic surgeon of the University School of Medicine at Kansas, performed the operation this morning at Watkins Memorial hospital.
At noon today Dr. R. I. Canutelson, director of the student health service, reported that Miller's condition is satisfactory, but as yet it is impossible to tell what results the operation might bring.
Freshman Commission to Picnic
The freshman commissions of the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. will hold a picnic in Smith timber tomorrow afternoon.
the pole vault, will not compete until Saturday. Left at 1:30
Bill Hargiss, Dell Davidson, and Kenny Hamilton, rolled off the Memorial stadium grounds on the 210-mile trip shortly after 1:30 this afternoon with the 12 first-day contenders. Each car carried its share of track equipment, and Dell Davidson had two vaulting poles and two javelins strapped on his car top. Mike Getto will drive the other seven to Lincoln tomorrow at 1:30.
Cach Hargiss says his team is in the best condition it has been in all year and should turn out some good performances.
Ray Harris To Run
Kenny Hamilton, a quarter-miler, says he thinks his leg will hold him up all right now. He pulled the muscles in his right leg in the Kansas State dual meet two weeks ago.
The team is strengthened by having its captain, Ray Harris, with it. Ray has been holding off until this time, to be sure his instep would not buckle under him.
J. R. Jones, who has been suffering from a wrenched back for some time, feels much better, and should give all the Big Six broadjumpers a mark to jump for.
"Our chances of winning the Conference title are nil and void," declares Hargiss, "because we are not entering four events, which means a total of 60 points." Five places will be given in each event, making a total of 15 points for each.
One feature will be the 100-yard

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
And, remembering, he has come to wonder if he again will know the old days of khaki uniforms, of bands and parades, of bayonet and rifle drill, of "Squads, right!" and mud and death. This man has asked his neighbor, "Which way, America?" His neighbor answers: "I don't know," or "We should have been in it six months ago," or "America will stay out." But he is not sure.
Which Way, America?
The man on the street, the man who in peace times drives a truck, sells insurance policies, and clerks in grocery stores, has begun to ask, "Which way, America?" Within the past nine months; he has seen Europe again take on the bleakness of the no-man's-land of 1914-18; he has seen a war, which in the first few months seemed unreal and remote, progress in channels not unlike those of World War I. Poland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, names repeated in each day's newspaper, on every news broadcast, names of countries that had only a geographical location somewhere on the map of a country across the Atlantic.
More recently, however, his attention has been caught and focused on the new names he sees and hears in black ink and on frequent broadcasts: Holland, Belgium, England, France. These names have a special significance to him, for he and his sons can still remember the war days of twenty-two years ago. He has felt his sympathies respond to a people whose culture closely parallels his own.
Although he knows war settles nothing, except, perhaps, the living and the dead, he has seen America stampeded into one war within his memory, and he can find no reassuring answer to his query, "Which way, America?" He wants to know. For in time of war he is the man behind the Springfield and the machine gun, on the artillery caisson, the one who peers through bomb sights.
Students should not confuse the memorial gift of the senior class with the current drive for $750 for Alumni Place. Officials of the big push for contributions consider the senior donation of $700 a separate part of the dorm drive. The goal of student solicitation is still to be reached.
★ ★ ★
Dorm Drive Needs Aid
Now, students are being asked to chip in a small but very essential portion of the money needed to complete the bare furnishing of the dorm which alumni gifts have brought thus far. The total sought from the entire student body actually is less than 20 cents apiece.
The size of the gift, however, is all the more tiny when compared to its importance. A great start has been made toward establishing what may be the first of an extensive housing series for the future. The drive cannot now be allowed to fizzle. And its up to University students to insure its success. Have you done your part?
After three years of mounting interest in men's dormitories on the Hill, coincidence this year brought together the climax of long-made plans and an unexpected gift from outside. The combination brought three houses into the picture for 1940-41. Two of the dorms seem definitely set. The third, Alumni Place, has struck a financial snag.
A Railroad Spring
Railroad's iron horses shook themselves and neighed at the forthcoming spring thaw in their economic situation when legislation held up all winter began to move toward passage last week
It is no secret that railroads have long beer putting the figures down on the wrong side of the ledger. The reason for this slump is the competition which has cost railroads many a dollar. Although railroads have consolidated in the past and look forward to still more consolidation, they cannot offset the better service offered by other media at cheaper rates.
Railroad executives argue that they can not meet the competition of airways, waterways and highways, because these have comparatively small maintenance costs. On the other hand, railroads are forced to maintain their rails and rolling stock, as well as purchase them at their own expense. None of the upkeep is subsidized. The argument, then, is for equal treatment in taxation and state and federal aid.
The reconsideration of the two bills which have been cubby-holed since winter are designed to do the job of equalizing aid to the rails as well as taxation.

Club Commemorates 50 Years of Bacteriology
Fifty years of instruction in bacteriology at the University of Kansas will be commemorated tonight at a dinner sponsored by the Bacteriology club at the Memorial Union building.
During that time, bacteriology has emerged from a course in the department of botany, entomology and meteorology to a separate department in itself. The first course in bacteriology was taught here in 1890 by Prof. W. C. Stevens, now retired. The late Dr. F. H. Snow, former Chancellor of the University, was chairman of the department.
In 1891 bacteriology was incum of botany and entomology meteorology having been dropped, and in 1897 it was offered as a course in the department of botany.
Part of Medical Curriculum
In 1891 bacteriology was included as a course in the depart-
With the organization of the University's school of medicine in 1899, bacteriology became a required course for medical students in the second semester of their second year, under Dr. Marshall A. Barber. The medical school course at that time was two years.
The department of bacteriology and pathology was organized in 1906, and five years later all courses in bacteriology were placed in the curriculum of the college of liberal arts and sciences. Graduate work in bacteriology also was offered for the first time that year.
Dr. Billings First Chairman
Dr. F. H. Billings became chairman of the department of bacteriology with its establishment as a separate department in 1913. He was succeeded in 1917 by Dr. N. P. Sherwood, the present chairman of the department.
Doctor Barber, who was the first to teach bacteriology to medical students here, perfected a single cell isolation method which attained international recognition. Briefly, the technique consisted of picking a single organism from a culture by means of a micromanipulator. "Streaking" and dilution methods were the only other means of obtaining pure cultures previous to the introduction of Doctor Barber's method.
The first studies on the sanitary
Dr. E. Lee Trecee, associate professor of bacteriology, has attained recognition for his research on the metabolic activities of bacteria and the development of satisfactory media to demonstrate their activities. The results of the work has led to the adoption of several of the media for diagnostic purposes. Studies "Babb Fever"
Dr. Cora Downs, professor of bacteriology, who is now on leave of absence to do research work at the Rockefeller Institute, has contributed work on the immunological and cultural studies of tularensis, or "rabbit fever." Doctor Downs also has made studies of antigenic structures of typhoid and typhoid immunization.
Studies "Rabbit Fever"
Dr. Glenn C. Bond, assistant professor of bacteriology, has done research work mainly of a serological nature, including blood groupings of the lower animals—snakes, turtles and alligators.
Other research work that has been carried on in the department of bacteriology includes biological and immunological studies on amoeba, especially in regard to amoebic dysentery by Lucy Heathman, and survey work on blood groups among Polynesians and American Indians by Clara Nigg.

How to become Disgusted with the Whole Thing: Read the texts of the Nine Power Treaty (1925) and the Kellogg-Briand Pact (1928) wherein the now ominous names of Germany and Japan appear righteously fixed to documents which say "war is simply too horrid and we promise never, never to have anything to do with such medieval barbarity. Anyone who does is a nasty word" . . .
It is being rumored that some of the Hill's more prominent professors got together the other night and decided that democracy is doomed unless the United States does something about it. Perhaps that accounts for those pro-allied lectures we've heard of late.

Churches To Register Conscientious Objectors
The Lawrence Ministerial Alliance has designated Sunday, May 19, as Peace Emphasis Sunday and has requested the churches to take a register of conscientious objectors to war in their congregations on that date.
"It was found in the first World War that the government suffered considerable embarrassment from the fact that it had not taken into consideration the point of view of the conscientious objector. Since that time, the historic peace churches such as the Quaker, the United Brethren, and the Mennonites have made available for the government their church rolls for reference, if and when war comes. Since this procedure gives the conscientious objector a much better chance of being recognized at face value, rather than being so undefended against the charges of cowardice and unpatriotic behaviours, it was thought that we of the Ministerial Alliance could do no less for our congregations than the peace churches have done.
The reasons for taking such a register are found in this quotation from alliance report:
"We feel that any person who takes the stand of a conscientious objector now, and who does not forsake his belief under stress of war certainly merits our respect and any protection, we, as a Ministerial Alliance, can offer."

Drive Bares Two More Cases; Only 30 Tests Remain
By Ken Jackson, c'42
With less than 30 Hill food-handlers remaining to be tested in the campaign against tuberculosis, the discovery of two more active cases was announced today by Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the Student Health service.
The drive which began in February when a Lawrence physician uncovered an active tuberculosis case in a University fraternity has resulted to date in the examination of 325 food-handlers. Representing 50 eating place, this total includes 20 fraternities, nine sororites, 20 private boarding houses, one cafe,

Donn Mosser, c'42, drive head, said today that the library in Brynwood Place would be the center of activities which are designed to raise $750 for the dorm.
The library is a large, first floor room in Alumni Place.
The driye, yet in its infancy, has already advanced $155 toward its goal.
Funds gathered during the campaigh will be used to buy bedding for the dorm.
K-Club Show Nets $60 for Athletes

Corbin hall and the Memorial Union building.
Thirty-seven of the 50 have had their entire lists of food-handlers examined by the health service. Stragglers from the other 13 houses to be tested total 29. 28 New Positives
Doctor Canutelson said that 146 non-student food-handlers were given only X-ray examinations. Also tested in this manner were 53 student food-handlers who had positive tuberculin tests by previous examination.
Positive tests were reported for 28 student food-handlers who previously had negative tests and they were X-rayed. One group of waiters and cooks, 32 in all, had previous negative reports and passed with clean slates when they re-tested negatively.
Sixty-six students, who had recently undergone tuberculosis examinations in their senior checkups and entrance examinations, were not tested again.
Referring to the beginning of the drive for examinations, Doctor Ca-nuteson said that the fraternity in which the original case was found had six positive cases among 12 freshmen who tested negatively last fall.

German Drive Blasts Enemy Central Lines
Berlin, May 17—(UP)—The German high command claimed today that armored speed columns had blasted the central Allied lines in Belgium, captured the fortress of Namur and driven deeply in to Maginot Line along a 62-mile front.
The Germans' Belgian drive was headed toward the Belgian and French Channel ports. The Maginot Line spearhead is pointing in the direction of Paris.
Neutral military quarters here regarded these as a great achievement of German army, but emphasized that they do not necessarily indicate the opening phase of decisive German victory on the western front. Nazi Flank Open
The German high command asserted the Allies were retreating from their defense positions in the Louvain sector which protect Brussels. It claimed that Germans were advancing through the Maginot fort-

Student Toured Holland With Bicycle Dutch Democracy Costly
By Charles Skidmore. e44
By Charles Skidmore, c 41
Well-informed on all the scenes where the recent German bickrie took place in the Netherland, is Hubert Hamlin, e'41. He told the Netherlands on a bicycle in July and August of last year, just three weeks before the war broke between England and Germany.
Said Hamlin today, "The people of the Netherlands anticipated this German invasion as far back as last summer and were preparing for it, even before actual war broke out in September. They were ready for it when it came last week and the stiff resistance shown was no luck, but the result of serious military training and real courage."
certain areas were roped off to keep out the public.
On his way to Utrecht, war-center, he saw hundreds of uniformed soldiers, mostly young, already moving up to border posts. "It was evident they expected war," he asserted.
He added. "The reason for the successful Nazi espionage in Holland probably resulted from the very democratic policies of the Dutch. Free speech and free press existed fully there. They allowed the Nazi party to function freely—just as is done in this country."
"The people of the Netherlands are much like us," Hamlin observed, "They are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. They drink lots of beer and considerable gin, and for the most part are short and plump with rosy cheeks. They usually own their own homes, or a share in an apartment house. The Dutch hated Hitler, not the German race, and said so readily. There was little poverty in Holland."
Hamlin docked in Rotterdam on July 19, following a cycle trip through England, scene of recent bitter warfare. He noticed then that all the dykes were heavily manned. Machine guns were mounted in nests about every 50 yards and sentries were numerous. Although there were anti-aircraft guns visible in Rotterdam, Hamlin said that it was evident that they were there because

Bulletins
Rome, May 17. — (UP) —Rome was plastered today with thousands of posters urging that Italy seize Corsica, French island in the Mediterranean, the birthplace of Napoleon.
The posters plus widespread demonstrations against Great Britain and France and an unofficial coolness toward what was reported to be a new peace proposal by President Roosevelt, combined to increase the feeling that Benito Mussolini was ready to enter the war on Germany's side when he felt the moment was right.
London, May 17.—(UP) —The war office announced today that the second contingent of the second Australian Imperial force had begun to disembark in Egypt on its way to Palestine.
The first Australian Imperial force, officially, is that which fought in the World War.

Nazi Advance Moves Forces To Pivot Spot
By Joe Alex Morris United Press Foreign Editor
German armored columns today plunged through the Allied front in Belgium and the river Meuse in a thunderous drive which may swing south or northwest—toward Paris or toward the channel ports.
German armored columns today plunged through the Allied front in Belgium and the river Meuse in a thunderous drive which may swing south or northwest—toward Paris or toward the channel ports.
High quarters in London called the situation "very serious."
If the German claims are accurate and they were partly confirmed at many points by guarded admissions of the French high command and French military quarters—the Allies appeared to face the imminent necessity of a general counter-offensive at all points or a general withdrawal to new defense positions.
Nazis Renget Tactics
The German high command claimed that forces—presumably a flying, armed column—had penetrated the Maginot line extension on a 62-mile front from Maubeuge to Cardigan.
German pressure was hammering unceasingly at the Allied lines—particularly a 15-mile front near Louvain, in front of Brussels, and the 80-mile front between Maubeuge and Montmeyd. Armored columns, led by huge tanks and paced by literal clouds of bombardment and strafing aircraft struck and struck again.
The Germans, it was plain, were throwing everything into their drive to swing their armored columns through the fortification systems and into the open country beyond where they could swiftly fan out, cutting roads, railroads, smashing communications centers and disorganizing the rear after the manner employed in Poland, in Holland and to a considerable extent in Norway.

70 Attend Bacteriology Anniversary Dinner
Stevens Gives Main Address To Group
More than 70 guests attended the informal dinner celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the department of bacteriology at the University in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building yesterday evening.
W. C. Stevens, retired botany professor, and founder of the bacteriology department was guest of honor and the chief speaker of the evening. He told of the reasons for founding the department at the University and of incidents in its development up to 1917.
Other speakers were Dr. N. P. Sherwood, who told of the department's development since that time. Dr. Cora Downs went over the list of those graduated from the department who since have become known in the bacteriological groups of the United States. Dr. E. L. Treece read extracts from his "log book" which is a record of "bone-head" answers that he has found in the quiz papers of students in the department since he began teaching.
Dr. G. C. Bond gave the history of the Bacteriology Club since its organization in 1920 and also introduced the graduating seniors. At the last of the program the club presented a framed picture of Doctor Sherwood which will be placed in the department office.
Designers Meet War-Time Need
Famous Parisian designers are rising to war-time emergencies by including accessories that may be duplicated by Fench women in their homes. Schiaparelli, for one, stresses the fashion importance of turbans, bonnets, and stocking that are hand knitted of silk and cotton.

Five members were initiated into the Inner Circle of the Pachacamac party last night at its meeting at the Phi Delta Theta house. Those initiated are: Hobart Potter, e'42; Charles Elliott, c'42; Bill Villee, e'41; and John Metcalf, e'42.
A banquet at the Dine-a-Mite followed the ceremonies.
Jay Janes Pledge 24 New Members
Twenty-four women, the largest group to be elected in four years, were pledged by the Jay Janes, women's pep organization, Wednesday afternoon in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building.
Following the pledging services, refreshments were served the following members:
Patricia Bowser, c'43, Helen Edlin, fa'43, Lenora Grizzell, c'41, Nadine Hunt, c'43, Mary M. Ewers, c'42, Doris Twente, c'42, Mary K.

Flowered Aprons Add a New Touch To Spring Sheers
Fashion Dictates--downward from the neckline to end in heart-shaped brilliant clips.

'Sharkskin for Evening, Jackets With Everything'
Evening dresses of sharkskin have the same simplicity that characterizes the sports dresses of this fabric. One dress has a bright green bolero trimmed with snowy white collars and cuffs. Another severeley plain shirtwaist style has as its only decorative detail three slits which extend $ ^{3} $
Rivaling the softness and quality of doeskin are the gloves made of mocha, a leather imported from Arabia. By means of a special process, mocha is tanned and dyed in America to give it a silky softness that is the height of luxury in leathers. For spring and summer, washable mocha gloves are shown in pale pastels as well as in white.
Straw braid overlapped to look like rough tree bark is used for a
new summer turban that ties about the head with a cloud of veiling. The hat is yellow and is trimmed with brown and yellow quills and a wide-meshed brown veil.
For day and for evening, short boxy jackets are one of the season's pets. And the favorite fabric is lightweight flannel, tailored on easy lines. Most of these jackets are square shouldered and straight lined, and are worn with everything in a summer wardrobe—from slacks and shorts to diaphanous evening dresses.

Coral pink and cobalt blue are flatteringly combined in one dinner ensemble for spring. The dress is blue crepe, very slim and straight, with a fitted jacket of blue sequins. With this is worn a little saucer of coral felt filled with a fluff of ostrich feathers. A knot of coral feathers is clipped to the evening bag, and the gloves are of coral suede.
This summer you will wear big picture hats of black tulle with your most sophisticated daytime dresses. One, designed by Legroux Soeurs, has an entire crown made of layers of tulle folded into pleats that spread into a frill at the edge of the brim. Wound around the square crown is a sash of pale pink satin ribbon.

Jayhawkers Have Little Chance In Conference Carnival at Lincoln
By Larry Winn, c'41
The officials of the Big Six track carnival in Lincoln tomorrow, might have to use the "eeney-meeney miney moe" system, or toss a coin to determine the winner of the conference title this year. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas State are favored, leaving Kansas and Iowa State to fight it out for the cellar.
With the Cornhuskers having a slight edge over the other favorites, because they won the 1940 indoor crown, prophets are bluffed as to the possible outcome. However the cinder meet does come out, it will be a close finish anyway you look at it. Big "IF" On Cripples
"If" some of the crippies on the teams pull through this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, the story might be still different. Herb Grote, Husker javelin thrower, who has been out this week with illness, and it is a strong possibility that Missouri's Bob Waldram might skip off with the spear honors. Other cripples are Marshall Reeves, M.U. half-miler, Jack Morris, Oklahoma hurdler, Ray Harris, K.U. distance runner, and Elmer Hackney, K-State shot putter. So it looks like everybody has at least one good man on the "if" list.
The 100-yard dash will be one of the features of the meet, when "Red" Littler, Nebraska, George Ockett, Oklahoma, and Darrell Mathes, Kansas, will be fighting it out for the century title. These same men will be the "hot shots" in the furlong dash. All have run the 100 under 9.7.
Dick Schnacke, Iowa State high jumper, should have little trouble in running off with his event, and there is a great possibility that he might crack the record of 6 feet, 3 7-8 inches, held by William Newblock, of Oklahoma, set in 1933.
Hunt and Higgins, of Nebraska and Missouri respectively, will be vaulting it out for top honors in the pole vault. The record for this event is 13 feet, 8 inches and both men have gone 13 feet, 9 inches this year. Other contenders for the pole vault crown are Tone, Oklahoma, and the K.U. vaulting twins, Beven and O-Hara.
Schnacke Favored
The banquet for alumni of the University will not be held tomorrow in Kansas City, Mo., as originally planned, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, announced today.
If John Munski turns in another performance like he did in the K.U.-M.U. dual meet last week in the mile, the record of 4:14.3 will be sure to go. "Lonesome John" will the distance at Columbia last week in 4:11.6.
Alumni Banquet Date Set for September
Tentative plans now schedule the dinner for September, Ellsworth said.

K.U. Defends Big Six Golf Championship
With Oklahoma given an edge in both tennis and golf meets, the Jayhawk golfers will have a busy weekend at Lincoln, defending their Big Six title won by the narrow margin of one stroke last year. Missouri and Iowa State have strong teams, and Jayhawker linkmen may find themselves in fourth place after the last golfer has holed-in Saturday afternoon.
Sooner golfers have a 27 consecutive win streak in regular matches over a period of several seasons and were runners-up in last year's meet at Ames. Missouri placed third, with only three strokes separating first and third places.
Linkmen Win Six
Captain Dean Ritchie is the only member of last year's championship squad on the team this year. Ritchie has lost only one match this season, and has consistently toured the 18 holes in the middle 70's. He turned in his lowest match score, a one under-par 71, in the Wichita University meet.
The Kansas linkmen have a record of six wins, one tie, and four losses in matches this season. Coach Shannon's men played an incomplete Big Six schedule, defeating Nebraska twice, tying Missouri once, but losing in their return match, and dropping both dual meets with K-State golfers.
Rod Wakeland, Bill McElhenny, and Bob LeGree are the other members of the varsity squad, defending their title at Lincoln this afternoon and tomorrow. Wakeland has been playing the number 2 position in matches, and was medalist in the season's first meet with a 75.
Wakeland Number 2
McEhenny has carded low scores in practice matches, with his lowest in meets, an 82. LaGree, a replacement on the varsity in the last few matches, tied Ritchie for medalist honors with a 78 in the meet at Nebraska on the same course as the Big Six play this weekend.
Golf matches are being played on the 36 hole medal play plan, with both an individual and a team Big Six champion to be crowned.
In tennis, the Sooners have Ed Lindsey and Walt Maitl, last year's
Wildcats Whip Kansans Again
Outscored and outfielded, but not outfit for the second straight day, the Kansas Jayhawks returned from Manhattan last night with two more games written into the red ink column.
(Continued on page five)
After losing by an 11 to 4 score on Wednesday, the Jayhawks dropped yesterday's encounter with the Wildcats 8 to 4.
Beims Gets Homer
Kansas led until the sixth inning yesterday, but a five run Kansas State rally more than erased the Jayhawk's early margin. Ramie Beims, who is rapidly developing into a dangerous hitter, slammed a home run to deep left field with two mates on base in the third inning. It was one of the longest hits on the Manhattan diamond this spring and traveled so far that the Kansas State left fielder didn't even bother to go after it.
Kenny Graham, Wildcat first baseman, whittled the Kansas lead by one run in the last half of the third, when he connected for a home run with no one on base. Kansas State added one more run in the fourth and then went ahead in the sixth with a five-run splurge. Each team chalked up a run in the seventh to finish the day's scoring. Horak Too Wild
Lefty Horak, who struck out five of the first six men who faced him, gave the Wildcats fewer hits than did Frank Woolf, the Kansas State hurler, but was too wild to be effective.
"Red" Dugan was nominated today by Coach Mike Getto to pitch Monday's game here against the Tigers. Jack Sands, who was successful in muffling the big guns of the Oklahoma Sooners' attack last Saturday until the late innings, will hurl the second engagement of the series Tuesday afternoon.
Expect 400 To Attend Education Picnic
The annual education picnic to be held May 22, will draw about 400 persons, Dr. Bert A. Nash told his classes this afternoon. Fowler grove will be the scene of the outing.
The picnic will offer students and teachers of the School of Education opportunity to get acquainted. From swimming and baseball to bridge and dancing, diversified sports and entertainment have been planned for those attending.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Intramural Softball BY TOM HIGGINS
By TOM HIGGINS
Play in the first round of the playoff division in softball will be played Monday instead of today as scheduled. There are 12 teams in this division, four of them drawing first round byes.
The games will be between Sigma Nu-Delta Tau Delta, Sig Alph-Delta Upsilon Hillside-Tekes, Phi Psi-Alpha Chi Sigma. Teams drawing byes were Beta, Dominoes, Alpha Kappa Psa, and Theta Tau.
Alpha Chi Sigma shut out the hitherto undefeated Alpha Kappa Psi team 15 to 0 and grabbed themselves a share of the cup in their division. Lincoln was the winning hurler. Wagner was strong behind the bat, gathering four hits in five trips to the plate.
Regular play finished yesterday with six games, all were oneside except the Theta Tau-Kappa Eta Kappa game. In this game the score was tied at the end of the regular seven innings, 17-17, and they played the next inning scoreless. In the first half of the ninth a Theta Tau runner scored from second on a long fly to left field to put them ahead.
Behind the pitching of Dan Rhule, the A.T.O. team batted out a 13-4 victory over the Pi K.A. group. Graywin began the game on the slab for the losers, but was knocked out of the box and Dunham finished the game.
Tekes defeated the Warriors 10-4 in a very uninteresting game. Hill was the winning pitcher and Vic Rink for the losers.
It was a romp for the Phi Psi's as they ran over the Sig Ep's 20-1. Bill Hodge started the game for the Psi's and did a good job in his first starting role, but gave way to Bob Allen in the seventh. Allen struck out the only three men that faced him in that inning. The Phi Psi's scored eight runs in the opening inning.
The Dominoes scored four home runs in the third inning and in doing so ran up a lead that the Dunakin club could not overcome. The final score was 14-3. Bowlyb was outstanding for the Dominoes in his fielding work.
Students interested in the civilian pilot training program for next year should confer with Prof. E. E. Hay in Marvin hall, it was announced today. The central office in Kansas City, Mo., is interested in making a survey of prospects for next year.

Name Two Air Inspectors
Bill Asheraft and Harry Creasy, C.A.A. instructors at the Lawrence Municipal airport have been appointed C.A.A. inspectors for this region, by the authorities in Washington, D.C. The appointments followed recommendation by one of the local inspectors.
The two men, now the youngest inspectors in the nation, qualified on their skill and knowledge of actual flight maneuvering, experience, and upon the excellent records set by their student civilian flyers. Both have 2,000 hours of flying time.
The local system was declared "the most systematic and standardized method of training students of any unit in this section of the country." The two men will now be allowed to grant private licenses.
Engineers Hear Safety Director
Mr. W. C. Boardman, safety director of the Kansas Electrical Power company of Lawrence, spoke on principles of safety to the University branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in the auditorium of Marvin hall last night.
Included on the program was a talk by Jim Messer, Lawrence traffic officer, on traffic safety and the problems introduced by traffic signals; and a demonstration of first aid by Mr. James Johnson, chief dispatcher of the Kansas Electrical Power company and a Red Cross instructor.
R. J. Koopman, professor of electrical engineering, was nominated for counselor of the University branch of the organization for next year.
Sarazen and Thompson Lead Golfers in Goodall Meet
New York, May 17.—(UP)—Gene Sarazen and Jimmy Thomson led the way today as 15 of the world's best golfers went out on the second and third rounds of the fresh Meadow Country Club course in the $5,000 Goodall round robin tournament.
Sarazen, with a record for the back nine under his Belt, was tied with Thomson at eight plus points in this 125-hole match play tournament which is figured on a basis of net holes won.
Gene was the only man to shoot
pee 70 in yesterday's opening round
and he did it by shooting the back
nine in 31, one stroke under the
record 32 he set in the 1932 open
tournament when he toured the last
28 holes in 100 strokes.
Three on KFKU Tonight
From 6 until 6:30 o'clock tonight KFKU will present a concert by Eugene Nininger, fa'42, violinist from the studio of Karl Kuersteiner, associate professor of violin; and a piano duo composed of Betty Buchan, fa'42 and Lois Worrell, fa'42, from the studio of Allie Merle Conger, associate professor of piano.

Can We Stay Out?--- Political Science Men Put Faith in Diplomacy
By William Koester, c'42 The possibility that the United States might become involved in the present world crisis, with a thread of hope that diplomatic moves, can partly avoid intervention, was expressed today by instructors of the department of political science.
"Lately there has been a very distinct shift of sentiment here toward helping the Allies if conditions become worse," asserted Prof. W. R. Maddox. "It is not a question of our economic self-sufficiency, for we can't be and aren't self-sufficient. And, as regards the logic of our entering from a sense of responsibility to the Allies, it would be too late to do so after the summer months if Germany's many blitzkriegs are as successful as past ones. For there would be everything to lose and nothing to gain," he said.
Hitting on another phase of the question, Prof. Hilden R. Gibson expressed doubt that the war tension here might be used as a Roosevelt third term issue, with the possibility that we would thus become involved.
"I don't believe the President will use the war as a third term issue;" he said, "in fact, it is not, in my opinion, a vital consideration in the question of whether or not we may get involved abroad."
Prof. W. E. Sandelius, in support of Gibson's point, asserted that he does not believe Roosevelt, from a personal viewpoint, wants the support of the foreign situation as a third term plank. "However," he said, "whether he wants it or not, it seems, of political necessity, to be pretty much in the cards."
The Inter-American conferences of the past few years have allayed our waging war if not called abroad, ac-
ceding to Prof. H. B. Chubb. He emphasized that if we can keep out, foreign invasion of the United States has also been minimized because "the conferences have made for solidarity of the Americas against invasion, and have made advancements toward collective neutrality of the two continents. If our institutions are worth having, they're worth fighting for," he said.
K.U. Defends---
(Continued from page four) doubles champions leading the way, and they will probably make a successful defense of their title won last year.
Sooner Netsters Favored
If any team pushes the Sooners from their top berth, Nebraska will likely do the job. Nebraska placed second in last year's meet and swamped Jayhawker netmen in both of their regular season's meets. Iowa State has another good squad and should be good for third place, with Kansas State, Kansas, and Missouri in an open fight for the other positions.
Kansas netmen have won only three meets this season and tied one, but they have a good chance to place higher in ratings than last year, when they followed Missouri in fifth place. In Big Six matches this season, "Dutch" Uhllaub's men split meets with K-State, lost both their matches to the strong Nebraska squad, and tied Missouri at Columbia.
Howard Engleman and Kermit Frank's swung racquets in the Big Six meet at Ames last year, and are back for another try this year. Jack Floyd and Conrad Voelker were the other men who left for Lincoln Thursday afternoon.

Hitler: World Saviour
Der Angriff, which was founded by Minister of Propaganda Paul Goebbels, and other outlets of the National Socialist regime are beginning to propound a new German ideology, an ideology which a few months ago, perhaps, might have seemed too fantastic for credence. At first, Reichsfuehrer Adolph Hitler professed to be seeking to unify in the Reich only people of German blood; then, for a time he declared his aim as nothing less than the destruction of the British Empire. But at the present time it appears that Hitler has turned to a far greater project.
Confirmation anew of an ideology which recognizes no limitations except those its fanatical leaders choose to set for it was expressed in another article in Der Angriff, headed "We March." Written by Robert Ley, German Labor Front leader, the article described Hitler as fulfilling a "God-given natural mission" to "bring Europe and the world to reason and thereby make Europe and the world happy." Continuing, Ley stated, "We German men of the present therefore must march as flagbearers of a new and better world, a world of reason and intelligence. For us there is no retreat."
The ideology is supported by a faith which despises liberalism and the individualism achieved only after earlier centuries of war and strife. It is a creed based on iron displine and the sacrifice of the individual for the whole or the ruling class, should it be successful in establishing its proposed order.
Alfred Rosenberg, the Nazi party philosopher, recently declared that "the war which began before all the world on May 10 is the greatest of revolutionary wars. An outworn era is crumbling to dust beneath the marching feet of the German Army." Thus, the present war may have more ramifications than simply a war of rival imperialisms. A change in fundamental aims on the part of the Germans is becoming more and more apparent.
Toward Equality Of Education
★ ★ ★
History books with accounts of the educational systems of 150 years ago express the Jeffersonian ideas for education and culture: freedom of the mind, social mobility through more schooling, and universal education. These democratic beliefs of Jefferson, so integral a part of the American ideals are today on the wane. To avoid stratified society and the neglect, therefore, of those illusive roads to success, the American people must expand Jefferson's ideas.
Americans must make education accessible to the youth that has the necessary intellectual capacities. Jefferson hoped to see men with ability rise to the professions of law and medicine rather than to be relegated to the laboring classes. He opposed the Etonian idea of education by class. Such an educational system, he believed, slayed democracy with its own jawbone.
State-supported universities, endowed colleges, scholarships impartially granted, are a wedge to open educational opportunity. But the task must be carried farther. Outside of metropolitan areas and college towns privileges of professional training are hard to win. More scholarships are needed and a more farreaching basis of selection is imperative to give an equal opportunity to students.
Universities should not only provide for the intellectually gifted, but they should also prepare the less brilliant individual for a useful, constructive life. Let the musician able to give aesthetic pleasure be discovered. Let the artist able to express beauty in color and form be trained. Too often these neglected but potentially great fail to realize their place in life because of lack of necessary training facilities. The American educational system must open new horizons for the talented.
★ ★ ★
Filing of a statement by the National Emergency Conference for Democratic Rights and the Greater New York Conference for Inalienable Rights requesting an investigation of alleged violations of the Constitution by agents of the Dies committee, leads one to speculate on how the lambasting representative from Texas ever overlooked an organization with a name as long as that of the N.E.C. for D.R. and the G.N.Y.C. for I.R.

Students some years ago studied some of the educational artifacts in Spooner-Thayer museum—but they weren't paintings, or Oriental vases. No, in the "old days" and yet as recent as Chancellor Deane W. Malott's time as a student at the University—the old building was the scene of many a "last week final cram." Spooner-Thayer was the University library in those days.
A picture and short write-up in the 1920 Jayhawker tells about students increasing their store of knowledge in Spooner-Thayer. Even the front steps of the building which today houses some of the most valuable paintings and pottery in the world were used for pictures of campus romance and spring leafing scenes in the magazine. Today they have lost their beauty, are crumbling under the effects of weathering, and are in need of repair.
Spooner-Thayer Served As University Library
Need for more space, both to house books and to provide more room for students to study, brought about the end of Spooner-Thayer's service to the University as a library in 1926 when Watson library was opened for reference work. Transfer of books from the old place into the new was carried out gradually in late 1925 and throughout 1926.
In 1920 it held only one-fifth as many books and employed less than half as many workers as it does today. The third floor was the reserve room, where books could be checked out for overnight with the same type of cards now used for obtaining books for daytime study.
Miss Carrie M. Watson, librarian emerita, for whom the new library was named, is perhaps the oldest employee on the staff, and was an important factor in securing many of the outstanding books for the old reference building in its early days. She is still rendering aid to the University, serving students daily in "her" library.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
Gregan Ann Green, who left her A.C.SH to boil on the radiator early this week, received a touching consolation note from Bob Ramsey today. Ramsey will be remembered as the candidate who ran for president of M.S.C. last year on the goldfish swallowing ticket, after gulping 52 of the squirming gold ones on the stage of the Granada.
Glenn McCann, known across the Hill as the man who would rather be caught dead than alone with a girl, was just a bundle of nerves when he had a date with Betty Muchnic for dinner at the D. U. house last night.
1. McCann couldn't remember a fraternity brother's name, finally introduced him by the handle of a brother long graduated.
2. He managed to drop a whole slab of meat in his lap while trying to sparkle for Muchnic.
3. When two brothers approached the couple, asked innocently, "Are you one of the six Pi Phi's Glenn is going to bring out all at once," McCann gave up the ghost, went all to pieces.
Final straw: When Betty asked senior law McCann if he was a sophomore in the college.

Nazi Advance---joints wouldn't have actives in them so they can find a place to jelly. Said one youngster, "There's always one or two in Brick's and the Union Fountain simply reeks with Kappas."
The German high command claimed its forces, presumably flying columns of armored cars and tanks, have penetrated to within 60 miles of Paris in the break-through between Maubuege and Carignan, near Montemedy.
If correct this claim would place German forces well bayonet Rheims. However, in Paris yesterday rumors of such an advance by an armored column were flatly denied. See French Press.
The German high command in a communique issued from Chancellor Adolf Hitler's headquarters at the front claimed German troops are "pursuing the enemy fleeing westward everywhere."
The capture of two French generals and 12,000 troops, apparently along the river Meuse near Sedan was claimed by the German high command which asserted that French tanks trying to counter attack in Belgium near Dianant had been beaten off as well as other counter-attacks south of Sedan.
The French indicated German advances had occurred but declared they were of substantially less depth and breadth than claimed by the Germans. They cited three crucial sectors today—the Rethel area on the river Aisne, the Louvain front
Eddie Penchard says he doesn't want to know for his own information who the girl is that doesn't pull down the shades in the northwest room of the Alpha Chi house, but the boys at the barbershop would sure like to know.
Best crack of the week: Harry Hill's comment, "What the senior meeting needed was less Laws and more order."
We read in the last issue of Life that Tom Bowlus finds Mt. Oread, "agog over the Johnson girls' coming trip to Hollywood."
The show must go on: Rolla Nuckles winds up the K-club play's last night while Mrs. Nuckles is operated on for appendicitis in Lawrence Memorial hospital.

German Drive---on parts of his $1,182,000,000 emergency national defense program.
In neutral military quarters these developments were regarded as of highest importance. But they declared that the German advances are open to attack on the flanks. Recalling the famous attack of the French taxicab army on the right flank of the German army swinging southeast of Paris in 1914 when the French beat back the Germans at the Battle of the Marne, they suggested that some similar development might occur.
The German advances in Belgium and France radically changed the battlefront from Antwerp to Luxembourg, where several million men are estimated to be in action with many thousands of airplanes and tanks.
Fall Of Brussels Near
According to the high command, the Dyle river front running through Louvain and before Brussels (which is 18 miles from the river) has been abandoned by the Allied forces and thus the main fortifications in the second line of Belgian defense have fallen.
Nazi experts contended that the fall of Brussels was near because it has no other important defense line and it was reported the Belgian government has fled to Ghent.
South of the Dyle, the Nazis claim to have taken the fortress of Namur, broken the main Allied point of resistance on the Meuse river in Belgium, and permitted the German forces to smash southwestward down the Sambre river to the French border at Maubeuge. This vastly widened their break into the Maginot line which previously has centered at Sedan, but now extends from Maubeuge to Luxembourg.

Student Undergoes Spine Operation
Mattie Pugh, ed'41, underwent a spinal operation yesterday at Watkins Memorial hospital, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the health service, announced.
Miss Pugh's spine was injured in a motor car accident during the Christmas holidays. Doctor Canutson said, and she has been wearing a brace since. However, the brace was not satisfactory, and the operation was recommended.
"The operation is one of the most delicate ever performed at the hospital," the health director continued," because it involved a bone graft on the spine."
Interracial Groups to Meet
The patient's condition is satisfactory, Doctor Cautones said.
The interracial groups of the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. will meet at 7:30 tomorrow night at Henley house. The guest speaker will be the principal of a Negro high school in Kansas City, Kan.
Has Novel Idea for Finding Job Ad Student Sells Himself
George Eschbaugh, a graduate from the department of design this year, is one of those men who relies on his own ability to get a job.
Just nine days ago, George sent his first picture-post cards to 54 advertising agencies over the country, asking for work in writing. Since then, he has had 17 replies.
The novel idea consists of sending a post card to an advertiser for five consecutive weeks. "This keeps the agency thinking of me all the time," says Eschbaugh, "rather than seeing just another request for a job." On the last of the series, he gives his address, and a stamped, self-udressed envelope in a French folder. He calls it a "teaser campaign."
The results have produced one novelty so far. Eschbaugh received an answer from one firm before they knew his address. They looked up the post mark and sent him a reply marked, "George Eschbaugh, Lawrence, Kansas." The company did not have an opening, but they referred him to another that did and he is to hear from them today.
When Eschbaugh walks into the offices where he has been requested to come for an interview, he is often greeted by a secretary's: "Oh yes, you're the one that sends us those post cards." George says the secretaries recognize him because he keeps them posted each week.
Six From University Attend a Convention

Expect Allies To Prepare Counter Move
By United Press
Germany's motorized columns pounded closed to Paris and the channel ports in the face of stiffened French resistance last night, and military observers believed the time was at hand when the Allies would have to undertake a smashing counter-attack.
As though preparing for such a counter-thrust, the French rolled thousands of 75's, considered by many to be the finest artillery piece in the world, into action on the Maubeuge-Sedan front, and hurled tons of three-inch shells point blank at the enemy. At the same time premier Paul Reynaud tightened his cabinet by making himself war minister and by appointing Marshal Henri Petain —whose brave "they shall not pass" saved Verdun and the Allied cause in the last war—to the post of vice-premier.
Reynaud admitted the Germans had slightly enlarged their Maubeuge-Sedan pocket, from which they are in a position to strike towards Paris and the channel ports,

Future of Europe Hangs in Balance War Events Shock World
This week saw what may be one of history's most disastrous wars launched on a shocked and frightened world.
It opened with German troops swarming over Dutch and Belgian soil; it closed with German troops reported within 70 miles of Paris and with a gigantic battle in progress which may decide the future of Europe.
The week saw the Dutch royal family in flight from their ancient homeland; it saw President Roosevelt calling on this country to prepare as never before, and grimly warning the Western hemisphere that its way of life may be threatened; it saw the New York stock market fluctuating wildly; it saw nations frantically preparing to defend themselves and cringing under
the fear of invasion; it saw homeless, destitute refugees cluttering the roads of western Europe.
Sunday began the gloomy week with the Germans only 45 miles from Brussels. In the Netherlands, they had crossed the Mass and Yssel rivers. Their parachute troops and internal "fifth columnists" had established themselves on the North sea. Britain landed troops in a futile effort to save the country.
Concerned over the successful "fifth column" tactics, Britain began rounding up aliens and imposed an 8 p.m. curfew on foreigners, even Americans.
On the other side of the world, Japan made it plain that she is concerned over the Dutch East Indies and insisted that their status must not be changed by any power.
On Monday, the keynote of this phase of the war was sounded by Winston Churchill in his first address to Commons as prime minister.
"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat," he said solemnly. He was given a unanimous vote of confidence.
The Germans reached Rotterdam, cutting the Netherlands in half. East of Brussels, between 1,500 and 2,000 French and German tanks fought the greatest tank engagement in history.
Queen Wilhelmina, Crown Princess Juliana and the other members of the royal family fled to England.
Berlin threatened to execute 10 French prisoners for every parachutist shot.

New this season is the riding coat made of Palm Beach cloth. Just off-white in color, it is fastened with three white pearl buttons. Two low flap pocketes, an inset breast pocket and a vent back are tailoring details. It is unlined for summer comfort.
In the same style, and a somewhat more practical color, are jackets made of cotton plaid. These come in a combination of brown, henna and beige and of green, brown and henna They also are unlined.
There are two versions of the tailored riding shirt, one to be worn with a jacket, one without. The only difference between the two is the cut of the collar. On the regulation shirt the collar is high, to show neatly above the coat. For less formal riding it is low.
There are calf-high socks of sheer wool to wear under your jodhpur shoes. Riding gloves have string backs and natural-colored goat skin palms that are perforated. A final touch of elegance is to be found in the collar-pin and cuff link sets made of pigskin, or of crystal with horses-heads.
An innovation, in the nature of an hour dance, will be held from 7 to 8 o'clock. Swimming, archery, volleyball, deck tennis, aerial darts, ping pong, and shuffleboard will be other features of entertainment directed by students and teachers of physical education.
Education majors, graduate students, students working for University teacher's certificates, and any students enrolled in the School of Education are invited to attend.
Veteran pedagogues and teachers of the future will lay aside serious matters for the annual picnic of the School of Education Wednesday. Activities begin in Fowler grove at 4 o'clock.
School of Education Will Hold Picnic Wednesday P.M.
Tickets, which are priced at 15 cents, may be purchased from members of Phi Delta Kappa, education fraternity, Pi Lambda Theta, education sorority, and Sasnak Club or at the education office.
According to Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor of education, who is in charge of plans for the picnic, 300 invitations have been sent out to education majors and graduate students.

Winner of 'Sing Will Get Plaque
The fraternity glee clubs adjudged best in the sixth annual inter-fraternity sing held in Hoch auditorium next Sunday, May 26, will be well rewarded for their efforts, Vernon Landon, fa40, chairman of the sing, announced yesterday.
First prize winner will receive a new plaque, which must be won three consecutive times before it can be kept permanently. The second and third prize winners will receive the usual permanent possession trophy cups. This year an additional prize-five dollars in cash—will be given to the glee club offering the best rendition of the new University song written by Fred Waring.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, who has been master of ceremonies for the past four years, will direct again this year. He will announce the competing clubs and the results. Landon will present awards to the winning glee clubs.
The contest has been won for the last five years by the choir of Phi Delta Theta. Sigma Nu won second place last year, and Delta Tau Delta and Delta Upsilon tied for third. Eleven fraternities entered last year's competition.

Speech Students End Most Successful Year
Although it hasn't the excitement of a football game nor the glamour of a premiere, the forensic department has just completed its most successful year.
At least, that is the opinion of E. C. Buehler, professor of speech and director of forensics at the University. To support this, Professor Buehler rests on his request for the year.
Speech students have spoken before a combined audience of at least 9,000 persons during the year, Professor Buchler said, while participating in some 130 events.
Of this total, 37 events were extension programs and 27 were radio programs. The extension programs are in the form of contact work, with students speaking before civic clubs, high schools, and other community organizations on such subjects as Kansas personalities, problems, and industries. Speaker this year appeared before groups in Russell, Hays, Colby, Salina, Junction City, Manhattan, Valley Falls,

Nebraska Wins Big Six
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
(Written Saturday Afternoon)
With a soggy track, the Big Six meet at Lincoln got under way yesterday afternoon, with the qualifying trials in ten events. Nebraska, the premeet favorite, qualified 19 men, Kansas State 18, Oklahoma 14, Missouri 11, Iowa State 9, and Kansas 6.
For the Jayhawkers, Darrell Mathes qualified in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Glenn Foy came through with a 25.1 performance in the 220-yard low hurdles, and Don Thompson placed in the half-mile. J. R. Jones was one of the 10 qualifiers in the broad jump, but the Jayhawker was not up to par in the qualifying heats. Maybe he'll do better this afternoon. The last Kansas man to qualify was Carty Dawes, who placed in the inavel throw.
MARVIN BREUER finally came through for the Yankees, when he pitched five-hit ball to down the Chicago White Sox, 6 to 1, yesterday. Breuer pitched for the Kansas City Blues last year and moved up to the major leagues early this year.
In the Central Conference track meet Friday afternoon at Emporia, Pittsburg Teachers came down the stretch easy winners with 88 points. Walt Revell was the star of the meet, when he broke the 14.8 high hurdles record, running them in 14.7, and tying his own low hurdle record of 23.6.
The Oklahoma Sooners, already assured of the 1940 Big Six baseball championship, added to their victory string Friday, when they whitewashed the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 6 to 0.
George Stirmweiss, North Carolina halfback and also leading hitter on the baseball team, will get a trial with Durham of the Piedmont league after his graduation. Durham is a Cincinnati Reds affiliate.
ALL - AMERICAN QUARTERBACK, PAUL CHRISTMAN, and first baseman for Missouri was reported to have been offered a contract with the St. Louis Browns. The Brown's scout said, "If Paul isn't a big league prospect, then I have never seen one." (Just a note to the scout: You have never seen one then. Christman only batted 279 last year, and if that is big league material, then I'm wrong.)
Apologies, orchids, and everything else they want, to the Sigma Nu's for not mentioning them as one of the teams to watch in the baseball playoffs, when I listed a few of the better teams in my column a few days back.
Dr. E. R. Elbel and Harold Johnson, the brains behind the K.U. intramural program, are pulling their hair because of the bad weather that has put them far behind in their schedule. The softball play-offs were scheduled to start last Friday afternoon, but no telling how long they will have to wait on the weather.
Jayhawks Fifth; Harris Retains Two-Mile Title
Lincoln, May 18—(UP)—A strong Nebraska Cornhusker cinder team won the Big Six track title here today by garnering 58 1-10 points in poor weather and on a slow track. Second to the Huskers came the Oklahoma Sooners with 49 points. Kansas State was next with 38 6-10, Missouri 35 2-10, and then Kansas with 23 points. Iowa State took cellar position with only 21 1-10.
Three records were broken in the course of events, the discus and javelin marks falling by the wayside today while the 220-yard dash record fell Friday afternoon in the qualifying heats. George Koettel, Oklahoma, ran the furlong Friday in 21.3 to smash the mark held by Ed Hall, Kansas, of 21.4 set in 1934. Herb Grote, Nebraska, threw the javelin 216 feet 4 inches, to break the record held by Herrington, Kansas, of 208 feet 1 inches set in 1934.
Ed Wibbels, Nebraska, smashed the discus record, when he sailed the platter 160 feet, $ \frac{5}{2} $ inches to crack Thornhill's mark of 155 feet 11 inches set in 1930. Thornhill was also from Kansas.
Harris Wins Two-Mile

Stan Hack To Be Back In Uniform Today
New York, May 18—(UF)—Stan Hack, Chicago Cub's third baseman, struck on the head by a line drive in yesterday's game with the Giants, will be back in uniform tomorrow.
On third basc at the time, Hack was hit by a line foul off the bat of teammate Hank Leiber and was carried from the field. An examination at Polyclinic hospital disclosed that the injury was not serious.
Hack is expected to play Monday.
6-3, 3-6, 6-0. Connie Voelker, number four singles man, lost to Eberline of Nebraska, 6-2, 6-3.
Both the Kansas doubles teams lost their first matches, although the number 1 combination composed of Engleman and Floyd advanced to the second round on a bye. There, they were defeated by the Oklahoma team of Lindsey and Mead, 6-2, 6-3. The Jayhawks' number 2 team of Voelker and Franks was eliminated in the first round by Davis and Tenhagen of Oklahoma, 6-3, 6-3.
Ed Lindsey, Oklahoma ace, retained his Big Six singles championship by conquering Bill Rundell, of Nebraska in ahe fiaoishdmwnflupy Nebraska in the finals of the tournament.
Jayhawks and Tigers Meet On Diamond
It will be the Tiger against the Jayhawk again tomorrow afternoon as Missouri and Kansas renew their age-old feud on the baseball diamond.
"Red" Dugan, who allowed the Tigers only three hits but suffered a heart breaking 1 to 0 defeat just a year ago, will attempt to cast another magic spell over the Missouri batters in the series opener. He will probably be opposed by Carl Miles, Bengal ace, who was the winning but not the finishing pitcher against the Jayhawks in Columbia earlier this spring.
At the beginning of the season, experts picked the Tigers to claw it out with the Oklahoma Sooners for the Big Six championship, and although the Missouri team was too inexperienced to live up to advance predictions, it is sure of finishing in third place.
Visions of the great Oklahoma nine are still fresh in the minds of Kan-

Dyche Panorama Largest of Kind
The natural history panorama in Dyche museum on which Sam Dickenson, Lawrence painter, has been working since last December, will be the largest of its kind in the country. Dr. H. H. Lane, curator of the museum, said today.
Doctor Lane said the museum would be opened to the public in July, 1941, although complete remodeling would not be completed at that time. The museum has been closed to the public since 1932.
The large, semi-circular panorama in Dyche is approximately 500 feet in length, Doctor Lane said. Most museums usually have panoramas which measure not more than 30 or 40 feet in length, he said.
"It will take at least until July 1 to finish painting the panorama," Docor Lane said, "and possibly longer. Placing of animals in the panorama exhibit will not be completed until before December."
Five men are now at work on the panorama, and four others are at work on paleontological displays at the museum. Additional crews of carpenters and electricians are being employed in the building, working on the floors, cases and lighting. The panorama depicts mountain, plains, and wooded sections of country; animals will be placed in the settings according to their natural habitat.
Art Fraternity Initiates Seven
Formal initiation services for seven students for Delta Phi Delta, honorary art fraternity, and pledge services for five more, were held Thursday in the Memorial Union building.
The following were initiated: Michael Andrews, fa'41; Helen Cady, fa'40; Ruth Kellett, fa'41; Violet La-Mont, fa'41; Eloise Pohl, fa'40; Alice Schwartz, fa'42; and Charlotte Steel, fa'41.
Following the initiation, the annual Founders' day banquet was served and new officers installed. The officers are: president, Louis Weinberg, fa'41; vice-president, Alice Schwartz, fa'42; recording secretary, Violet LaMont, fa'41; corresponding secretary, Betty Ann Leasure, fa'41;reasurer, Charlotte Steel, fa'41; historian, Justine Hopper, fa'40; alumni secretary, Charles W.

Postponed Estes Reunion Picnic To Be Held Friday
Estes Reunion picnic, scheduled for last Friday, was postponed until next Friday, because of the unfavorable weather of the past weekend. The picnic is held for all persons interested in going to the "Y" conference at Estes Park, Colorado, this summer.
Students attending the conference will leave here as soon as finals are over in order to be at the conference's opening day on June 7. The assembly of Christian youth will last 10 days; during that time the young people will live in dormitories and eat together in a large cafeteria in Estes Park. Outstanding men from all parts of the country will be guest speakers of the group throughout the 10 days.
Speakers from Lawrence at the conference will include Rev. Joseph King, and Theodore Paullin, instructor in history. Other group leaders will be Art Wolf, 142, in charge of movie instruction, and Lewis Irwin, gr, in charge of hikes and the recreation program.
Girls to Complete Matches In Cue Tournament Soon
All girls entered in the Coed Cue tournament are urged to play off their matches by the first of the week, announced Winford Ferry, e'40, inramurals chairman of Union activities.
In order that the trophies, to be presented by Charles Peterson, world's champion trick shot artist, may be awarded before school closes, the results must be turned in this week.
Pharmacy Board To Visit Campus The State Board of Pharmacy will visit the University School of Pharmacy Thursday and will remain for the Pharmacy banquet that night.
The secretary of the board, Otto H. Kuether, Herrington, will speak before the pharmacy colloquy Thursday morning at 11:30.
The members of the board are: Eugene Cook, '17, Iola; W. F. Sprague, '11, Fredonia; Paul Engborg, '23, McPherson; and Kelsey Petro of Topeka.
Jayhawks and Tigers— (continued from page 4)
sas baseball fans, but the team which meets the Jayhawks tomorrow was good enough to hand the Sooners their only loss of the season. True, Oklahoma had clinched the Big Six championship the day before and might not have been bearing down its hardest, but one of the conference's outstanding pitchers, Jimmy Pope, was on the mound when the Tigers batted their way to victory.

The only veteran in the infield will be a familiar figure to sports followers even though he won't be wearing number 77 on his uniform or throwing bullet-like passes. He led the Tigers to a Big Six football championship last fall and was named on almost every All-American team in the country. His name is Paul Christman and he plays first base.
In addition to Captain Carl Miles, the hurling staff is composed of Lafayette Howard, Frank Graham and Bill Spencer. The team's number one catcher is Lyle "Duke" Sullivan. Ken Wackner and Abe Hair are experienced outfielders and Herb Gregg, diminutive Missouri basketball forward, is a newcomer who has won the center field berth.
This year's Missouri team boasts a favorable balance of veterans and rookies in the outfield, the pitching, and the catching departments, but has only one tried and true regular infielder.
Kansas' starting lineup for the first game will find Jack Sands at first, Larry Hensley at second, Ray Napier at short, and Knute Kresie at third. If Monte Merkel draws the catching assignment, the outfielders will be Eldreth Cadwalader, Miller Cameron, and Henry Horak. If Coach Mike Getto decides to give the mask and protector to Cadwalader, Ramie Beims, who has developed into an extra-base slugger during the last three games, will move into left field.
Jack Sands will pitch Tuesday's game for Kansas and if he can even approach the form he showed in holding the Oklahoma hitters in check throughout most of the second contest with the Sooners a week ago, the Jayhawks should be in the game all the way.

TB Examinations Must Be Continued
Examination of food handlers for tuberculosis this year has been more successful than previous campaigns here, due chiefly to the realizations of the seriousness of the problem. The student health service reports that 325 student and non-student food handlers representing 50 eating places have been examined thus far, and that only 30 additional examinations remain before the conclusion of the program this year.
The continuance of the program for next year must be assured. The campaign this year has demonstrated that tuberculosis examinations for food handlers constitutes a more than feasible idea so far as student and public health measures are concerned. It has served as the groundwork on which a lasting and an even more far-reaching tuberculosis examination program must be built next year.

In previous years, campaigns of this nature were attempted, met with half-hearted response, and finally died for this same lack of interest. That the Pan-Heillenic councils this year required organizations under their jurisdiction to have the examinations is commendable, no less so, however, than the voluntary action of independent organizations and boarding houses.
Doctor H. P. Cady, Scientist and Teacher
Dr. Hamilton P. Cady, who has resigned as chairman of the department of chemistry, effective July 1, is one of the most outstanding scientists ever to occupy a faculty chair at the University. It is to the University's advantage that Doctor Cady's resignation means only the relinquishing of administrative duties because of ill health, that he will continue as a teacher and a research worker.
Perhaps best known as the discoverer of helium in natural gas, a discovery that made possible for the first time the obtaining of helium in commercial quantities, Doctor Cady also has contributed much to the science of chemistry, research which in itself is enough to place him among America's top-rank scientists.
His ability as a teacher is reflected in the many alumni of the department, well-known scientists now in their own right, who have received their training from Doctor Cady during his forty years as a teacher at the University. The respect accorded him and his popularity among both students and faculty are tributes to a man who, fortunately, is a scientist and a teacher.
Mad Man or Genius?
★ ★ ★
It is the goosestepping horde, not the individual German citizen, who actually is the object of Allied hate from Narvik to Istanbul. Hitler, like an H. G. Wells' mad scientist, shaped a vast number of harmless ingredients into a terrifying whole. He molded the respecter of authority, the sentimental, patriotic, tragic worshipper of his ancestors into a war machine component.
With what is left of the proud Teutons and Cimbri goosestepping their way farther and farther along what they plan to be a "world conquest" march, the hands of historic time point to reflection. Other peoples of the world would do well to take the theoretic hate knife out of Herr Hitler's back and pause to see what about the people he rules makes it possible for him to function.
The Fuehrer accomplished no such miracles over night. He began with small promises which somehow he never failed to keep—promises which voiced half-forgotten longings in the German heart. He began with totalitarian Fascism which gave him complete power. He took that power partly from capital to satisfy labor and partly from labor to satisfy capital.
Hitler can not be entirely blamed for his weird success as an opportunist. But he can and should be blamed for his exploitation of a people who looked innocently to him for world-reinstatement by peace, not war. He must stand to account for his selfish barter of a nation's sentimental love of heroism, land, ancestry, and respected authority to satisfy a personal lust for individual power.

Men's Housing Not So Wonderful
(Editor's note: The following is a Campus Problems speech on housing conditions at the University recently presented by Richard MacCann, c'40.)
It's a beautiful word. Sounds so Utopian.
Housing.
I remember hearing it a great many times last spring. An remember getting into a pretty violent argument about it wi certain fraternity man.
He was, I imagine, a fairly typical fraternity man, except that he was supposed to be a little better informed than most. But he was obsessed with the notion that what this Campus needs is a large, opulent men's dormitory, with big lounges and recreation rooms and intramural programs and social dancing and all th
exuberances and excrescences and appurtenances and frills and so on.
I asked him, "Do you know that there are some 50 places on this Hill—you can't very well call them 'apartments' or even 'rooms' in most cases without straining the English language—about 50 places where three, four, or five boys are living together and doing their own cooking, their own dishwashing, their own housecleaning?"
"Whatdya mean—cooking, Boys cooking? I don't believe it! Cooking their own meals—like fixing up a dinner or something? Why that just isn't—I don't believe it! There might be a few cranks, but not fifty!"
Well—I tried to pack him off to see the Dean of Men and find out a few primary things about his own campus, but I'm afraid he never got there. He probably forgot all about the subject. . .
What's the matter with the people on this Hill? Don't they know what is going on? Is there, after all, an "overprivileged" class that doesn't know about living conditions here on this Hill? Don't they know what's of looks that way, doesn't it?
About a year ago I visited a room—yes, let's call it a "room" for purposes of definition. The room was located on an alley. It had a dirt floor, a table and a chair or two, a species of bed that might have been a castoff from a slum, a small portable stove, a sink, and a garbage pail. Now, aside from the dirt and the smell there was something else in that room—something couldn't possibly describe to you. For that room was home to three boys—three boys who were glad and grateful for the chance to go K.U.-glad to go to school all morning and work all afternoon are maybe part of the evening, steal couple of hours at the library the night and an hour or two more study and to bed dead-tired, and in between times, cook their own meals and do their own bed-melting and dishwashing and hot cleaning. Glad and grateful for a chance.
Is there, after all, an "underprivileged" class on this Hill that live as men shouldn't decently live at yet can't do anything about it? So of looks that way, doesn't it?

ture of Europe—
On Tuesday the battle lines formed in the French frontier and it was evident the Germans intended to on the Maginot line. They advanced into French soil and occured historic Sedan, where the Germans defeated the French in 1870 and Emperor Napoleon III was captured.
Holland capitulated and the Dutch commander-in-chief called on his troops to surrender. Only Zeeland province remained to the Dutch. Ominous signs that Italy mightier the war came from Rome were growing anti-allied demonstrations culminated in the public warning of French and British flags. "The battle of the Meuse" started Wednesday. South of Sedan, the Romans penetrated 10 miles into outer defenses at the end of the In Maginot Line and crossed the house at several points.
Berlin boasted that possession of Dutch air bases placed their nos "nearer to England's heart."

and yet, I think there's another as, a far more numerous and far important class—a class which decide whether this problem be solved or left unsolved. It made up of those who don't know at living conditions, but might e.
you know, you and I have a lot friends in that class.
wish we might get together and our friends about these dirt- or rooms and the fellows in them tell them, too, about the rest of the fifty families—living in all deeds of discomfort—but glad enough have the chance to go to school. these men are going to get out to the world to become the very ric of American democracy. At its point in their careers they need help and encouragement. They'd a decent place to stay. wish we could get together and our friends about that.

but said the situation was "far from desperate."
One military commentator in Paris hinted the French were preparing a counter-attack and predicted the blow would fall soon on one of the German flanks.
The Germans insisted their drive was continuing in both French and Belgium where they claimed the fall of Antwerp and the great "battle of the Meuse" might be decided in 72 or even 48 hours. They said armored German columns had struck half-way to Paris from the Belgian frontier and were now within 85 miles of the French capital.
Military observers in both Paris and Berlin said the main body of German infantry, following the armored and motorized units, was moving into the Bulge front, and there were indications that the German advance was slowing a little to permit tanks and armored cars to replenish fuel supplies.
Three Changes-

Swarthout Presents Last Choir Concert
The Westminster A Cappela Choir will give its final local concert at 7:30 o'clock this evening at the First Presbyterian church. This concert will be the last under the leadership of Dean D. M. Swarthout, who has been director of the organization for the past 17 years. Dean Swarthout has resigned to direct an all-University choir next year.
The choir has attractive favorable attention over a large territory. It has appeared on three different occasions with the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra at the request of Karl Krueger, director. In a recent letter to Dean Swarthout, Krueger stated that the choir in his estimation was among the top four or five a cappella choirs of the country.
week. The choir gave a concert program last Sunday evening before a large crowd at Ottawa, and on the previous Sunday sang at Topeka.
The choir gave one of the most outstanding performances of its career in the Bach, "Magnificat," given as one of the features during Music week.
Both sacred and secular numbers will be included in the program Sunday evening. The chorus for double choir "Now Shall the Grace," from the 50th Cantata of Bach, will be a feature of the concert. The anthem "When Morning Gilds the Skies" (Powell Weaver), dedicated to the Westminster Choir and Dean Swarthout, will also be included
Minerva Davis, fa42, will sing the solo in the "Credo" anthem by (Gretchaninoff). The solo part in "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" will be sung by Dorothy Allen, fa41.
M.S.C. To Meet-
(Continued from page one)
"We can't promise that we'll change it," Farmer stated, "and if we do there will likely have to be a joint meeting of both councils."
Farmer said the council will attempt to arrange for uniform parking regulations for both men and women studentis. Some of the penalties, he said, seem to be slightly harsh, especially for women students, who have separate regulations to observe.
A council stand on the question of freshman traditions next fall is expected to be made, and a discussion of whether or not the new council will contribute to the dormitories fund will be held.
The council will also consider plans for having an information booth in center Frank Strong hall next fall for the benefit of incoming freshmen, Farmer said.
Math Club Ends Year With Picnic
The Mathematics Club will hold its last meeting of the year Monday afternoon, in the form of a picnic at Shawnee lake, southeast of Topeka.
Officers will be elected and awards made to the members who presented the best reports at meetings throughout the year.
Club members, who number about 30, will leave the campus at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Crafton Praises Acting In University Movie
The University of Kansas will become the second Hollywood when the premiere of "Far Above the Golden Valley" is presented May 29 under the silver lights and glamorous atmosphere of Fraser theater.
Told in a dramatic story form, the picture is the first of this type to be filmed by a college, according to Prof. Allen Crafton, director of the movie, and is extremely difficult to do. "A painter would find it hard to tell his picture in words and trying to tell a story in a series of pictures is just as difficult because your pen is your camera," Professor Crafton said.
"The students in the film have done will in depicting the type of character they represented," he added. "There is the homesick student who finally learns to adjust himself to his new life, the snobish girl who becomes aware that there really is a democracy, and the boy working his way through school surmounting all difficulties to make good.
"The story has been told without the use of subheads. This was the effort of all the old silent films, and is difficult to accomplish, especially without professional direction, Professor Crafton said.
The general idea of the film is told in the opening paragraph of the picture. "Every September hundreds of young people leave home to come to the University of Kansas and continue their education which is found in more than books
They find it in overcoming opposition and in making adjustments to a new life by learning to live with their fellow men. Here is a glimpse of young Kansans learning to live in a democracy which they will make."
The film has been turned over to the extension division where after several copies have been made it will be sent to various schools and organizations which want more information in this connection.
"The film is just a story of everyday life here on the Hill with each picture taking care of the nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives and sentences of the story," Professor Crafton ended.
W. Arnold Lynch, fa'uncl, gave the only senior organ recital of the year in Hoch auditorium Wednesday night.
Has Senior Recital In Hoch Auditorium
Lynch, student of Laurel Everette Anderson, has had considerable experience in the concert field and at the present time is the organist for the First Presbyterian Church in Topeka.
The final senior recital of the year will be given at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon by Betty Lou Mechem, soprano, student of Irene Peabody, and Vincent Bleeker, violinist from the studio of Olga Eitner in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.

Germans Smash To Channel Port
At a Glance Here's the War
GERMANY - High Command reports German troops have smashed through to English Channel, cutting off 1,000,- 000 Allied troops in Belgium.

Nazis Break One French Army in Drive
By Joe Alex Morris United Press Foreign Editor
A dolf Hitler's blitzkrieg struck its greatest blow of the war today in a paralyzing knife-like drive to the English channel at the French port of Abbeville.
Confirmation and consolidation of the Nazi gains would make the Allied position in France one of the utmost gravity, but from London came a British statement that the long-awaited counter-attack had begun with the French army "fighting magnificently" in a do-or-die attempt to save a vast part of the Allied forces from disaster.
In what the German High Command called "the greatest attack operation of all times," the Nazi mechanized armies, bombing planes and parachute troops officially reported that after 11 days of furious fighting they had:
1. Raced 60 miles through northern France to Abbeville—only 70 miles across the Channel from England—to cut off and threaten with disaster perhaps a million British, French and Belgian soldiers in Flanders.
3. Captured Rethel and Laon on the fighting front some 60 miles north of Paris; and taken Amiens and Ar-
2. Broken the 9th French army and captured its staff and commander, Gen. Henri Giraud, who was wounded and captured in the first weeks of the World War.

Waiters Strike In Hill Cafe
With a motto like the three musketeers, "all for one and one for all," the waiters at the Cottage, Hill hangout and cafe, staged an organized "walk-out" Saturday night after closing time. They had all agreed to "forget" to come to work Sunday morning and left in the cash register an "ultimatum" to the manager stating the reasons for the move.
So then came the dawn of a busy Sunday morning the patrons of the Cottage found that service "was kinda bad" and Managers Harry Akers and L. A. Guffins were just as perturbed to find themselves with "labor trouble" on their hands.
The latest reports of the uprising are that the Cottage "ex-crew" are now eating at other food establishments and that their former employers are now carrying on with a new group of waiters.

Women Prepare For Fall Rushing
The campus drive for dormitory aid may receive a boost when the Women's Pan-Hellenic council meets Thursday afternoon at 4:30 in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
Rushee fees and $5 membership dues from houses belonging to the organization make up the greater part of the running fund, from which a dormitory contribution would be taken, according to Jeanne Moyer, fa'42, president.
Although the alumni council takes no action in Pen-Hellenic meetings, reports of proceedings are discussed. Mrs. Eugene Brune, Lawrence, alumni secretary, will make reservations for rushes coming for rush week next fall.
The alumni council, which acts as an advisory board to the Pan-Helenic council, will assist with problems of rushing during the summer, and will make preparation for rush week next fall.
Rush captains, upon request, will receive additions to the rushee list throughout the summer.

French Leader Again Captured By the Germans
By United Press
General Henri Honore Giraud, 61 whose capture from a French army headquarters was claimed by the Germans today, was captured by the Germans two weeks after the outbreak of the last World War.
A captain then and wounded in the right lung at the battle of Guise, Giraud was taken by German forces. After a first vain attempt at escaping he finally succeeded in getting through Belgium and Holland to England, whence he reentered France.
Although still suffering from his wound he returned to action in February, 1915, after having been assigned to the staff of the fifth army.
M.S.C. Alters Varsity Dance Manager Bill
By Bill Koester, c'41
The Men's Student Council last night set Thursday for the deadline for varsity dance manager applications and amended two sections of the varsity dance bill to provide for a new system of paying, the manager and to restrict his activities.
The amendments, entered by Russell Mosser, c'40, when the bill was brought up for re-consideration of its sections, provide: 1. That the varsity dance manager be selected by a committee of five, composed of two members of the M.S.C. (one from each party), two members of the W.S.G.A., and the retiring舞 manager, the new manager to be paid $5 after each varsity舞 and the whole salary for the year not to exceed $100; and 2. That removal of the舞 manager in the event of mal-performance of his duties be by a majority vote of both councils. All other sections of the bill were left to stand as read.
Selection of the new dance manager by the usual fethod is being abandoned this year because of the proximity of the term's end. Because the choice must be approved by both councils and the Chancellor, and does not go into effect until 10 days after publication in the Daily Kansan, it was decided to use the new method as provided last night. Dave Oberlin, e'41, and Jim Burdge, e'41, were the Council's choices for the committee. All applications must be in Henry Werner's office by noon Thursday.
32,100 killed! That was the record for 1939; and remember that each one of the digits in that tally was a person as you and I. An accident can happen to anyone.

Batsmen Lose PORTSCOPE Carl Miles Fans 11 Jay Batters To Beat K.U., 8-6
When the time rolls around for me to give a summary of K. U. athletic events for the year, I'm afraid its going to be embarassing.
Just a preview will show you what I mean: Remember this is unofficial.
HOW KANSAS FINISHED
Football: Tie for last.
Basketball: Tie for first.
Track (Outdoor): Fifth.
Track (Indoor): Sixth.
Baseball: Sixth.
Swimming: Fifth (out of five entered).
Wrestling: Didn't enter.
Golf: Tie for third place.
Tennis: Sixth.
Maybe Kansas has better start subsidizing a few star ping pong players or bring Charles Peterson here to give the K.U. men some instruction in billiards.
TRY, TRY AGAIN: is the theme of Taisto Maki, Finnish distance ace, who is still in America, trying to raise funds for the Finns, and still trying to beat an American distance runner somewhere along the line. Friday, at Los Angeles, Walter Mehl and Gregory Rice both licked the Finn in a 9:01.8 two-mile jaunt which was won by Mehl.
Again, from the west coast, come more reports of some outstanding track marks. Hugo DeGroot must be getting rid of his sore arm, because he tossed the javelin 225 feet last Friday in the Finnish Relief Fund Meet in Los Angeles. . . The American record for this event is 234 feet, held by Bob Peoples, Southern California ace, who is still ailing with a broken arm, suffered two-weeks ago. . . Lee Orr, Washington State, who was on the Canadian Olympic team in 1936, ran a spectacular quarter-mile in the same meet, when he flew the 440-yards in 46.9, which is the best quarter-mile performance of the year. . . In the course of the afternoon, he also ran the 220-yard dash in 20.9 and the low hurdles for the same distance in 23.5. . . Not a bad afternoon for one man.
BACK AGAIN in the cellar are the New York Yankees, who have gotten only seven hits in the last two games. . . . Bob Feller only allowed them four hits Sunday, and yesterday, Al Smith set the World's Champions (?????) down with three hits.
FROM THE EXCUSE Department:
The reason Kenny Hamilton didn't place in the Big Six meet was because his leg muscle pulled again. . . Beven and O'Hara had difficulty in vaulting because of "the wind and the rain in their hair" . . . Darrrell Mathes 'legs gave out on him about ten yards from the finish line in the 220-yard dash. . . J. R. Jones back slipped out of place again. . . And last and most important in the K.U.
defeat: The other teams scored more points than we did.
Last night's rain dampened the baseball diamond sufficiently to force the cancellations of today's scheduled doubleheader between Missouri and Kansas, thus dashing the second place aspirations of the Tigers, and also ending any hopes the Jayhawks might have entertained of concluding their home season in victory.
Miles Gives 7 Hits
With their ace left-hander, Carl Miles, retiring 11 batters on spikes and spacing seven hits effectively yesterday afternoon, the Bengals plucked the Jayhawks by a score of 8 to 6 and moved closer to the second place Kansas State nine. A double victory for the Tigers today would have elevated them into a tie for runnerup position in the Big Six standings.
As late as the eighth inning of yesterday's game, the Jayhawks looked as though they might play havoc with the best-laid plans of Missouri Coach "Hi" Simmons and Lefy Miles. Jack Sands, slugging Kansas first baseman, who continued his devastating attack on enemy hurlers with two hits in four times at bat, led off the eighth with a triple to the embankment in deep right center field. Knute Kresie dropped a Texas-league single into center, and Sands came home with the fifth Kansas run of the day.
Chilson Fans
The Tigers still led by a score of 8 to 5, and Miles steadied momentarily to retire Ramie Beins on a slug bunt which the Missouri pitcher himself fielded and threw to Paul Christman at first. Bill Crane, Bengal second baseman, then played tag with Eldreth Cadwalader's grounder, and the Kansas catcher was safe on first, while Kresie moved to third. Ray Napier eased the tension on Miles by grounding out to first base, but the pressure was applied again a moment later as Coach Mike Getto allowed "Red" Dugan to bat for himself and Miles walked him to fill the bases. This brought up Bob Chilson, Kansas second baseman, who worked the count to three and two and then missed a third strike.
Miles was nicked for the sixth Kansas run in the ninth, when Miller Cameron tripled over centerfielder Herb Gregg's head, held third while Henry Horak was striking out, and then scored as Sands grounded out, second to first. Kresie singled over second, but Beims ended the game with a fly to left field.
The Jayhawks took a lead in the first inning on walks to Cameron and Sands and singles by Kresie and Cadalader. Missouri came back with two in the second and went ahead in the fifth when Ronald King, Tiger third baseman, hit a home run with one on base. The Bengals pushed their last three runs across the plate in the sixth.
Kansas Leads In First

Today's doubleheader with the Missouri Tigers was called off because of wet grounds.

Kansas Loses Golf Crown To Iowa State
Iowa State's Cyclones, led by Billy Hall who fired rounds of 74 and 77, blew the golf crown right off the heads of the defending champion Kansas Jayhawkers at the Big Six tournament in Lincoln Saturday.
The Kansas golfers finished in a tie for third place with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, while the Oklahoma Sooners were gaining the runner-up spot. Missouri was fifth and Kansas State last.
Dean Ritchie, Jayhawk captain, who was his team's low man, turned in rounds of 79 and 80 for a score of 159. He was followed by Rod Wakeland with 168, Bob LaGree with 173, and Bill McEihenny, 174. The Cyclones' winning team total was 635, and Oklahoma second place score was 649. The Kansas and Nebraska totals were 674. Missouri finished with 689, and Kansas State with 693.
A.A.U. Meet Next For K.U. Trackmen
Most of the members of the Kansas track team have called a halt to this season's practice, but some of the Jayhawker cindermen are planning to enter the National A.A.U. meet in Kansas City, June 8.
Coach Hargiss will take a team of entries to this meet as soon as school is out. The meet will be held at Southwest high school.
The K.U. representation should be strong, because many of the cindermen who are ineligible for varsity competition, will be able to compete in the A.A.U. meet. Men like Norman Sanneman, a high jumper, who goes over 6 feet easily, Bill Knight, who throws the javelin around 190 feet, and John Mitchner, who vaults 12 feet are eligible.
This is also a red-letter day for freshmen, because it is the only event that allows yearling participation.
Intramural Softball By TOM HIGGINS
Delta Tau Delta pulled the first upset of the playoffs by defeating the Sigma Nu's 3-2. The Deltas went into an early lead but the score was tied as the teams went into the seventh inning. Sigma Nu was not able to reach Cluster, the Delt pitcher, for any runs in their half of the inning and saw their chances for further play in the championship round disappear, as Keplinger knocked out a homer with two out in the last of the seventh.
Phi Psi 4, Alpha Chi Sig 3
Alpha Chi Sigma pitching held the Phi Psi's to three hits but there were several walks and errors to permit the Phi Psi's to win the game 4-2. Epp hurled for the Alpha Sig's and Allen pitched two-hit ball for the Phi Psi's and struck out six of the opposing batters.
Sig Alph 16, D.U.2
Sigma Alpha Epsilon trounced the Delta Upsilon team 16-2, despite the fine hurling of Hocevar, the one-man team. Hall was pitching unbeatable ball for the Alphs, as he struck out twelve of the twenty-one batters that faced him. He was given batting punch by all of his mates, but it was Amerine that really was the power. He got a triple, a double, and a single in four trips to the plate.
Teke 13. Hillside 11
Teke scored seven runs in the sixth inning to overcome an early lead, and defeat the Hillside Club 13-11. Hill pitched for the winners and Schotts for the losers. The game was marked by erratic fielding, but the winners showed a good team most of the time.
Today's game will see the four winners of yesterdays games, and the teams that emerge victorious will be able to classify themselves as the cream of the crop of very fine teams, that have competed in the games this year.

Semi-finals are scheduled for Thursday, and the final game will be played Friday, if the weather permits.
Kansas had 3 deaths at railroad crossings during the month of March. When crossing railroads remember that they have both right and might.

Sports Parade
By Henry McLemore
New York, May 21—(UP)—Charles S. Howard has at last learned that no man can keep on throwing sevens forever. Into every life some snake eyes and box cars must fall.
This time a year ago Howard was Midas in a tweed suit. Everything he touched around a race track brought him gold. Old line stables had been trying for years to win such races as the Santa Anita handicap, the Brooklyn, the Suburban, the Pimlico Special and other classic stakes. They couldn't believe that any one man—without so much as even a breeding farm of his own—could come up with three such
come come up with three such horses as Seabiscuit, Kayak II and Sorteado.
Then, three months ago, when he added Mioland to his string for a paltry $15,000 and won $10,000 of this sum back the first time he sent the Oregon-bred to the post, he appeared to have both the three-year-old and handicap champions under his control.
nings Happen Fast
But things happen fast in racing and now Howard, who must have wondered why these things hadn't happened before, can realize the feeling of Alfred Vanderbilt when Adventurer was killed in a fall; how William Ziegler, Jr., was affected when El Chico stumbled and had to be destroyed; how J. H. Louchheim grieved when Pompoon died suddenly of a rare intestinal ailment, and how J. A. Manfuso suffered when his Aneroid was burned to death in a fire in Kentucky a month ago.
Howard first felt the bad fortunes of racing luck when his Argentine amber, Sorteado, broke a suspensory ligament in New York just a week after he had run to a new American record for a mile and a half. This handicap champion of South America was just beginning to show signs of becoming the handicap champion of North America when a hole in a track cut him down and forced his destruction.
Seabiscuit Into Retirement
But when Seabiscuit was sent into retirement after winning the last Santa Anita, Howard still had a double-barreled threat in Kayak II and Mioland. The former, four-year-old champion of 1939, had been entered for almost every outstanding stake in the East and the West this season, and despite his defeat by Challened last November, it looked like a good bid for the title of "horse of the year."
Today Kayak is sick and ailing in a barn at Pimlico and he won't run for at least two more months, if then. He developed a sudden cough and fever, and Howard was forced to declare him from such races as the Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps. Kayak II will be lucky now if he is ready even for the $50,000 Hollywood Gold Cup which he won so easily a year ago.
Stable Cut to One Horse
With Kayak's sickness the once invincible stable was cut to a single horse—Mioland, who had won the San Juan Capistrano, run fourth in the Kentucky Derby and second in the Preakness before ever reaching his top form. Today he is gone, too, at least until 1941.
Howard sadly announced that yesterday. He said the stretchrunning son of an imported German sire had bolted while working at Pimlico, thrown his exercise boy and then stumbled on the concrete walk. Howard did not detail the colt's injuries, but he did say that
"he was badly hurt and cannot be sent to the post again this season."
sick to the post, again this season.
Now the San Francisco hasn't a single top flight horse in a year when any good thoroughbred could make a lot of money and a lasting reputation. Bimelech has been beaten twice—both times by horses not rated the equal of Mioland. Challedon won't be back to the races in the handicap division until late summer at least and Kayak's only opposition there would be Eight Thirty.
So, the man who walks up to a mutual window isn't the only gambler in racing, after all.

Cool Off, Boys
New Deal Defenses
It is possibly, indeed it is entirely reasonable, that a "fifth column" does exist in the United States, for Hitler apparently does have some idea of planting the swastika over as much territory as is inhumanly possible. But certainly, particularly at this time, America must be calm. Harried, frightened people cannot accomplish; they can only bungle. A flagwaving populace with blood in its eye would only serve to root the column more firmly. If it exists, then it must be stamped out—but with less ballyhoo.
America does not need a sixth column to guard against the fifth. It needs only to keep its head clear, free of unreasonable fear. A gestapo or ogpu has no place here. America has maintained a working democracy for one hundred and sixty-four years; it must not lose it overnight.
America during the past few weeks has been on the verge of one of the greatest calamities that possibly could happen to a democratic nation: mass hysteria. Leaders of public opinion, assuming the role of pseudo-patriots, have succumbed to the popular notion that a "fifth column55 is now at work and within a short time, today, tomorrow or next week, will effect a Trojan horse act in this country similar to the prepaid selling out of Norway.
★ ★ ★
Just because the present administration has provided the United States with a military defense that a bunch of boy scouts armed with 22 rifles could crack is no reason why Congress should turn over the country—lock, stock, and barrel—to the president and the New Deal.
This country evidently needs defenses. Any defense plan, however, that is dependent upon industry's cooperation is bound to hit a snag with the impetuous Roosevelt and the New Deal in complete authority. The Brain Trust may have gone back to the classrooms but enough crack-pots remain in Washington who still think they know more about industry than the industrialists themselves. Roosevelt's distrust of the industrialists will prompt him to give these half-baked scholars the job of telling experienced businessmen what to do. The result will be an "impregnable" defense that will make Roosevelt's recovery program look like a huge success.
With military preparedness so dependent upon industry, it seems imperative that the government in Washington should get some men in authority who can turn out results instead of theories. Either Roosevelt should kick out a few of his power-hungry, new deal careerists and supplant them with men who have proved their ability or the United States might as well not start a defense program. Industry will cooperate but only so far as the government will cooperate with it.
It should, however, be proof enough for the American people. The present administration
Roosevelt, though, is seemingly satisfied with the present set-up. The fact that this country, after seven years of spending by the New Deal, couldn't defend itself from an invasion of seals from Alaska isn't proof enough for Roosevelt.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon, journalist and historian, and Clarence Budington Kelland, novelist, are behaving like a couple of spoiled school boys these days over a tiff that arose when Kelland made a statement that the "fifth column" in this country was "headed by that fellow in the White house." The fight seems to take Kelland out of his usual "Scattergood" role.

Sprawling Sub-Basement Under Frank Strong
Ghosts of the composers whose music has been murdered by Fine Arts students have a right handy spot in Frank Strong hall to do their "hanting." Beneath the great building is a sub-basement that has not been visited by more than 10 or 15 students. Extending under the entire sprawling building, the subbasement is divided into 3 divisions. The 8-foot ceiling and the walls are unfinished; the floor is rock. Dust covers everything. Even the bright, unshaded lights fail to take away the look of gloom.
Because the building was erected in 3 parts and over a period of several years, each of the divisions was separated from the others by a solid wall.
Now, during the school year, workmen are disturbing classes by pounding and drilling through the brick and mortar to join the divisions and possibly to make them usable. At present the only use made of it is that of the west end used as a storage space by the department of physiology.
Several doors in the basement of Frank Strong lead into the sub-basement which is reached by means of rickety stairs and ladders. Students who sleep in class and then walk in their sleep might easily stumble their way into this vast place. That is, if one of the doors was left open.

Jack O'Hara must have had a tough time explaining why he stopped off at the Pi Phi party Saturday night after he returned from the track meet at Lincoln. He was supposed to go right to the Kappa house.
The Gestapo at the Alba Chi house has seen to it that the bottom few bars are missing from the fire escape but a little examination reveals that somebody with muddy feet either scrambled up or down since the recent rains. And there shouldn't be any mud upstairs.
The psychology student who handed in a term paper for Social Psychology on Freudian Dichotomies yesterday must have done of lot of research. He misspelled both Freudian and Dichotomies.
Even worse than that is the graduate student in Economics who just turned in his thesis with the word economies misspelled on the title page.
The real Kappa Sig party didn't start until early Saturday morning. An eight o'clock the boys were just hitting their stride.
The Pi Phi freshmen went out last night to disturb people at their pre-final cramming with a farce serenade. The Phi Gams heard them coming, arranged a deal with the Phil Delts.
As the girls approached the Phi Gam house the brothers met them with a hose full of water. When the pledges retreated squealing toward the Phi Delt house they were caught between two fires; the Phi Delts had a hose too.
Seeking refuge in their cars the Pi Phi's discovered that enterprising Phil Delts had hidden them. All in all the lads on the east side of the Hill put the dampers on the serenade.

Waiters Strike--ras—important communications centers in the North.
Legibly written and with all the formality that a law student would muster on the spur of the moment, the "ultimatum" included complaints on hours, pay, and treatment.
"The most important reason (for quitting) is that the last day before our Easter vacation we were suddenly called together and informed that from that time on . . . the only way seen clear at this time, rather than to lay some of the boys off, was to raise all hours and to reduce or obliterate all cash pay."
The complaint also stated that the crew felt, due to the recent statement of the management that there will be few, if any, part time or University helpers next year, and also in light of the spreading rumor that 'there will be all new faces next year', we feel that we fail to owe the place or the management anything any longer and that our ties and obligations toward the institution abruptly cease."
The complaint continued further with apologies for their shortcomings, but a reminder to the management that its policy has not been one of appreciation for extra hours worked or of consideration for their efforts.
The notice concluded with the statement that the move was a cooperative affair, and a desire that there be no hard feelings. It was signed by eight employees and one "ex-employee, recently retired due to a little argument."
Comment from both sides indicates that although there is some hard feeling on the part of both employers and former employees, there is also an understanding of the motive for the "walkout."
With one of the employees back working at full time at more than double his former pay, and the addition of two new waiters the managers of the Cottage announce that they believe that they can "carry-on" satisfactorily until the end of the year.

The full extent of the German gains and of the Allied counter-attacks can be determined only after further operations on a vast battlefront that is confused and jumbled as a result of the Nazi strategy of striking with mechanized units far in advance of their main forces and far behind the enemy lines.
German parachute troops were being used extensively in an attempt to strengthen and consolidate the lines pushed forward in lightning fashion into northern France and it was reported that the Allies might speed their eastern army to France to bolster their defenses.
The German statement that the channel had been reached climaxed 11 days of warfare through the Low Countries and in northern France and made the Allied position seem as dangerous—if not more dangerous than at any time during the World War.
The Germans still are not as far advanced in French territory as they were at the high mark of the World War, when they surged to the suburbs of Paris. But they have achieved the capture of a channel port, which they failed to do
Furthermore, from Amiens, the Germans are in a position to strike southward toward Paris at any time they can consolidate their positions in the North. And if they succeed in bringing together their vast pincers operations against the Allied armies in Flanders the entire Channel coast will be in their hands—with England only a few minutes away by airplane.

It's A Strange War
By Ralph Heinzen United Press Staff Corres
United Press Staff Correspond French army general headquarters, May 21—(UP)—Out at the front today the Allies and Germans are fighting the strangest war ever fought.
Allied bombing planes dived one after another, like hawks after their prey, bombing roads and bridges to halt the tanks. But each time a bomb tore a great funnel shaped hole in a road, wiping out four or five tanks, the others would simply detour around the obstacle.
Ahead and alongside the tanks ride German motorcycle troops, scouts and traffic policemen combined. When the planes bomb a
road, the motorcyclists step on the gas, find detours, and lead the tanks to them.
By Frederick C. Oechsner United Press Staff Correspond
With the German army in Belgium, May 21—(UP)—Famished dogs, left behind by their women and children owners in a panic flight, raced crazily about the streets of Louvain today, past the smouldering ruins of the beautiful library which America rebuilt after the World War.
Louvain is the most shot up town I have ever seen in this war or the
Polish war. Whole blocks have been laid waste by the joint action of German Stuka dive bombing planes and artillery.
Meantime the German infantry and light transport crossed the river on Pontoon bridges.
At Lowenhoven, on Belgian side of the Wilhelmina canal, we saw the first signs of real fighting where the Germans had captured a strong pill box.
Tracks at the railroad station were like pretzeis and we were warned by the commandant that the tracks were still mined and that we should take care where we stepped.
Now the people are starting to return to the city and a university professor has offered to act as mayor and form a municipal council.
"We captured it by attacking from an unexpected direction." an officer said. "That's the secret of warfare today—attack from where they don't expect it."
At Tongeren I saw my first sample of the dive bomber work since Poland, and what the Stukas could do to a town in combination with tanks. The railroad station was a flattened pile of bricks. Whole fronts of houses had been shorn away. Beds, wardrobes, bathtubs, kitchen tables, baby carriages, hung crazily or stood as if in openfront doll houses. Restaurant fronts were blown away, their tables still intact as if awaiting guests.
As we approached Tirlmont the tenacity of the peasantry became ap-
parents. In driblets, farm families who had fled were returning in horse or dog drawn carts. Their children perched atop bedclothes, their hungry dogs welcoming them with staccato barks and plaintive whines.
The Germans warned children to stay off the roads because of the racing stream of transport.
At Tirlemont a general staff officer proudly showed us where a German tank corps had gone around a dynamited bridge by smashing its way through factory yards and walls until it reached the next bridge. That is what the Germans are doing in their "flood" method of advance, by which, when they meet an obstacle and can not beat their way through, they "flow" around it.

Airport Officials Mum on Student Crash
Airport officials today bluntly refused to give details of a student plane crash, believed to have occurred between here and Topeka a week ago.
The training plane, thought to have been bearing one student flyer
and an instrucctor, crashed into trees which prevented its takeoff from a small wheat field, it was said.

Unofficial sources said the ship's occupants were practicing 'foreed landings' and were unable to bring
No one was thought to be injured and the extent of the damage was not officially announced. Reliable sources, however, estimated the damage at approximately $600.
Bill Ashcraft of the Ashcraft Flying School, who is in charge of the actual training of the University students, said he had nothing to say about the accident.
At the airport this morning, Aschar refused to say why he couldn't
give details of the wreck. Others at the airport said they were "not putting out anything on this."
Student flyers said today they were told to keep quiet about the wreck and its details.

Weygand Moves To Cut Through Nazi Life-Line
By Joe Alex Morris United Press Foreign News Editor
Gen. Maxime Weygand rallied the armies of the Allies today after a dramatic airplane flight over the blazing battle lines that criss-cross Flanders and Picardy for hundreds of square miles.
Back at headquarters he gave quick, decisive orders. Within a few hours the French high command claimed the recapture of Arras, splitting the German life-line to Abbeville on the English Channel.
The outcome of the enormous conflict still was uncertain. Scores of major and minor engagements raged from the banks of the Aisne at Rethel to the mouth of the Somme at Abbeville and north in Flanders and Picardy.
Germans Deny Loss of Arras
At the moment that Paris reported that German flying columns at Abbeville on the English channel had been cut off by the recapture of Arras, the German high command asserted that the Abbeville forces had struck to the north from the Somme toward Montreuil and St. Pol. The Germans said an attack on Arras was repulsed.

Britain Takes Dictatorial Powers Over Men, Industry and Money
London, May 22.—(UP)—Great Britain mustered its entire resources of men, industries and money under dictatorial powers today to meet the "grave peril in which the nation stands."
The government presented to Parliament for immediate passage of a far reaching bill giving it full dictatorial control over all men and material resources.
The measure provides:
1. Full government control over all industries and commerce with absolute powers to dictate production, close down factories or even destroy property where and if necessary;

2. A 100 per cent tax on excess profits;

The bill became a law at 6:19 p.m.
(11:19 a.m., CST) after both houses of Parliament had approved it and Royal consent had been given.
5. All persons and all property in the British Isles to be at the full service and direction of the government;

Iowa State Series Next
Jays To Meet Cyclone Team This Weekend
A final attempt to salvage what is left of a highly unsuccessful season will be made by the Kansas baseball team on Friday and Saturday when the Jayhawks engage the Iowa State Cyclones, at Ames in a two or possibly a three-game series.
Following the Missouri victory over Kansas Monday, in which the Tigers clinched the third spot in the Big Six standings, Iowa State found itself in much the same situation as the Jayhawks. The Cyclones are firmly entrenched in fourth place with no chance of improving or injuring their position during the coming series with Mike Getto's club. Similarly, the Jayhawks will be playing just for the exercise. Their grasp on last place is too secure to be challenged by either the Cyclones or the Nebraska Cornhuskus.
One of the contests scheduled to be played here last month was rained out; and so a single game may be held Friday with a doubleheader in prospect for Saturday.
Hawkers Cinch Cellar
The Kansas hurling nominees for the coming series include Jack Sands, "Red" Dugan, and Henry Horak. Coach Getto said this morning that he is not planning on pitching Knute Kresie again this year because he does not wish the little right hander to aggravate his back injury. Instead, Kresie will be stationed at third base in the contests with the Cyclones.

Play Softball Semi-Finals Tomorrow
SPORTSCOPE
By Larry Winn
Jack Dempsey, the "Manasa Mauler," just can't seem to hang on to his women. The former world's heavyweight champion is back in the ring again, but this time its the ring of justice. His third wife, Hannah Williams has charged the cafe owner for "incompatability" and is asking for a separation. Better look out Jack, or you will get another "long count."
Glenn Cunningham must be coaching a protege, because yesterday he had his little daughter down at the stadium track. The "barrel-chested" Kansan put his daughter through her paces on the cinders, and then gave her a mild workout in games on the gridiron.
Neville (Tiger) Beech kinda pulled a surprise Monday night in Kansas City, when he took an 8-round decision from Kansas City's "white hope," Tony Novak. Novak had won eight fights since he turned pro, seven of them by knockouts.
THE NORTHWESTERN Wildcats are leading the Big Ten diamond play with 8 victories and only two losses. They are followed by Illinois, and the Illini are followed closely by Michigan.

Mays average 127 miles and hour in his time trials, followed closely by Wilbur Shaw, Indianapolis, who averaged 126.7 in his trials. Shaw has been in the top qualifiers for years, but he has yet to finish an Indianapolis race. Every time he has gone out with car trouble.
Henry Armstrong, welterweight kingpin from Los Angeles, defends his laurels for the second time in a month at Boston, when he faces Ralph Zanelli, of New Providence, R.I. in a 15-rounder Friday night.
CONGRESS WAS SCANDALIZED recently when it was learned that Bing Crosby's race track was built with Government funds. . . . Nat Mann, New Haven heavyweight, is telling friends he wants to quit. . . If I remember correctly, he already quit a few weeks ago in the Garden. . . . Lew Jenkins has twice run out of a match with Young Jack Sharkey, contracted for by the Broadway Arena before he won the lightweight title from Lew Ambers. Jenkins has been ordered to appear before the Commission today for a hearing. . . . Lorenzo Packs and Henry Armstrong has collaborated on a song which they are trying to sell. . . . Decca records has collected all the baseball songs (about six in number) and two baseball poems and is to offer them in album form.
Corbin Hall Wins Organized House Title From Kappa
Runs scored in the third inning on errors allowed Corbin hall to become the organized house champions, when they squeezed out a victory over Kappa Kappa Gamma 6-4 yesterday afternoon.
Corbin hall's Lenora Grizzell played an outstanding game as pitcher. First baseman Alta Bingham starred at fielding. Phyllis Struble was catcher for Corbin.
Both teams went scoreless in the first inning. With two outs Corbin scored the winning runs in the third inning, when Kappa outfielders blew up ad let in three runs on errors.
Margarette Parker, Kappa pitcher, held down the Corbin score. Ellen Irwin played catcher for Kappa. Second base was ably played by Virginia Elliot.
Corbin will next meet I.W.W. to vie for the women's intramural baseball championship.

Beta Theta Pi stood off a belated Teke rally yesterday afternoon, and went on to win the game 5-4. The Beta's had built up an early inning lead of 5 runs, when the Tekes pushed across four tallies in the first half of the sixth inning. The situation looked bad for the Beta's as the Tekes had three men on bases, when Hogben came in to replace Geiger, who had been pitching. He saved the situation by striking out the next batter and putting

Phi Psi 9, A.K. Psi 3
Phi Psi obtained a six-run lead in the opening inning which was enough to defeat the Alpha Kappa Psi team, 9 to 3. Hodge pitched the game for the winners, and Hosford for the losers. Yesterday's rain left the field sloppy and caused base-runners to perform curious antics, but the fielding of both teams was nearly flawless.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS $ \star $ LETTERS $ \star $ PATTER
At least one professor—possibly more—is getting a big kick out of flailing students with accusations of cowardice and softness because they don't seem to be enthusiastic over the prospects of going to war.
Aw--Shut Up!
Being afraid, however, is not an indication of yellowness. The youth of today is a lot more afraid that his one life will be thrown away uselessly. An American youth will fight to the last ditch to keep this hemisphere free from foreign invaders. Invasion is something that threatens the youth's material and spiritual future; he'll lay down his life to protect that future because without it his life means nothing. But, Prof., if men like you get the upper-hand, he'll be laying that life down across the seas where it isn't going to do any good.
Now let's get it straight, Prof., just what you and your colleagues are supposed to do in class. According to all rules and regulations you should be instructing youth how to think straight—you're not hired to do his thinking or to pump him full of hysteria. If you have a good logical argument in favor of going to war immediately, let's have it straight from the shoulder and presented in a clear light, and not muddled up by a lot of Hitlerian oratory.
No, Prof., the youth of today is afraid, but he isn't yellow. He's afraid that the whole world is tumbling down around his ears. He knows that to allow his thinking to become irrational by such poppycock as yours is suicide. He wants his country to be prepared to defend itself from any invader, and he's willing to throw his life into the balance when, and if, the showdown comes. But he doesn't want you to be using your advantage over him as a professor to call him yellow and to incite him to rash thinking. It's his future and his life that is being threatened—not yours.
Now listen, Prof., a lot of hale and hearty youths are afraid of war. Their fathers were afraid back in 1916. Anyone that isn't afraid of getting blown to bits is on the red side of the psychological ledger. You'd be afraid yourself if you weren't past the shooting age.

Elmer--Who's Elmer?
Right now people are anxious to forget what the World of Tomorrow might look like; so the authorities of New York's fair have decided to bring their show down to earth. They're going to give it the old homey touch, redolent of the stock, product and housewives' preserves affairs of the country.
This year they're going to call it the Forty Fair. Gone will be those presumptious affairs where Grover Whalen met kings and queens—rulers are too busy trying to find a new country to live in. It will be billed as just another county fair a la Broadway. Elmer is being counted on to do wonders. He is the paunchy, wide-eyed folksy looking goof, grinning from thousands of posters and billboards. Elmer, in case people wonder, is New York's idea of who goes to the county fair and gets stung by the bees and the birds that are there.
Now in addition to changing the atmosphere to suit the rural tastes, the New Yorkers have condescended another notch and are even lowering prices. Room rent is lower, food is cheaper—and easier to find—and admission
prices are almost down to where they should be.
It really doesn't ring true, though. Those New Yorkers can slap a farmer on the back and shout "Hiya, Bud. How's the hogs' colera and little Daisy's chickenpox?" ,and the farmer will still have the idea they're out to clean him. To turn a trite crack: You can take the boys out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the boys.

French Doll of 1870's Shown in Spooner-Thayer
By Imogene Morris, c'42
A French doll, dating from the 1870's, is one of the most interesting exhibits for children in Spooner-Thayer museum. The 14-inch doll, found beside an old-fashioned trunk in a New England attic, was presented to the museum as a part of the Thaver collection.
Just who the original owner was is not known, but the doll was possibly brought to Massachusetts by some sea captain as a gift for his small daughter. According to Miss Minnie Moodie, curator of the museum, the doll is in excellent condition and has evidently never been played with.
When the doll was found, the trunk contained a complete set of what the well-dressed lady wore in the later nineteenth century. Her clothes are particularly valuable in a study of fashions of that period.
Blonde curls piled high on a bisque head and delicately painted features attract one to the show case in the basement of the museum where the doll and part of her clothes are on exhibition. She is dressed in flowing, lace-trimmed organdy dress and wears a tiny pearl necklace and earrings.
Beside her on the table are her blue lustre ware dishes, her deck of cards, and a book of poems, "The Faithful Sheep." Her parasol, sewing bag, and toilet case are shown, also.
There are dresses for every occasion, as well as linen collar and cuff
sets, paisley shawls, and jewelry. A tiny blue velvet poke bonnet and a ribbon trimmed white straw are carefully packed away in hat boxes. Rows of matching slippers are lined up beside them. Three fans, one of them a genuine sandlewood, tortoise shell combs, and an old-fashioned watch make up a part of the collection.
There are many other things still packed away in the trunk where they have lain for years. The haqdmade dresses are growing faded and the little gold slippers are losing their gleam, but the French doll still stands amid al the elegance of the 1870's.
Exhibit of Water Colors By Gritchenko Closes Friday
The 50-piece water color exhibit by Alexis Gritchenko, now being shown in the north gallery of Spooner-Thayer museum, will close Friday, announced Minnie Moodie, curator of the museum.
Gritchenko's work is quite well known in Europe, appearing in many of the better known galleries.

No mental dullard is Emmet Park who waited until late Sunday afternoon to take newly pinned fiancee Maragaret Barber to the Sigma Nu shanty for the traditional kissing-the-lucky-girl ordeal. When the future Mrs. Park arrived, she found those lads who hadn't gone out for dinner weren't in the mood.

On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
With everybody studying these days, there's little we can report but we have thrown open our column today for a little
today for a little advice to those who seek it
who seek it.
Here's a letter we received from a building and grounds worker who has as nasty a little problem as we've been confronted with in years. The letter follows:
A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
Dear Shinster:
I'm just as upset as I can be. Please help me with my question. I live on the edge of town where a small stream runs through my back yard. Since the recent rains this stream has swollen so that it now runs through my chicken house.
My chickens are the very rage in my neighborhood because they lay such jim dandy eggs. That is until the flood came. Now the big bull-frogs from the creek have come to roost with my chickens every night. They sit there and croak and croak all night long and the chickens don't get a single wink of sleep.
When daylight comes the frogs go back to the water and grab off a little shuteye, but the poor Plymouth Rocks wander around the yard just dead for sleep. They haven't laid an egg for days. I'm as upset as I can be. What should I do?
Yours in a quandary, Jay Richardson
Dear Mr. Richardson:
No wonder you are worried! Have you stopped to think what might happen if your chickens should see a cluster of several hundred frog eggs laid at one sitting? Why a chicken with neurotic leanings such as your flock must have developed by now would go absolutely to pieces. Imagine the inferiority complex that would result from that! Hundreds of eggs at one sitting.
But I wouldn't take this too seriously since the water in your chicken house will soon go down and your chickens should return to their egg-laying as the water cedes. In fact here's a case where recession should result in greater production.
But now don't you let those nickens start soldiering on you Mr. Richardson! You know how spoiled I Plymouth Rock can be, the little kisses.
I always say, never let a chicken
pull the old shell game on you.
that's what I always say.
Sincerely,
Your Shinster

Allies Resist Nazi Attack At Flanders
It said that the Allies lost 120 planes, including 35 shot down in air battles and 14 brought down by German anti-aircraft guns. Ten German planes were reported missing.
Berlin, May 22.—(UP)—The High Command said today that German troops were slowly squeezing out Allied armies trapped in northern France and Belgium by driving northward from the River Somme, but that fierce resistance had been encountered on the historic World War battlefields of Flanders.
Germans predicted that the German break-through to the Channel soon would destroy Allied armies of perhaps 1,000,000 men in the North, but the High Command communique issued at Adolf Hitler's headquarters in the field indicated that a desperate and perhaps a long struggle was ahead for control of the Channel ports from which an attack could be launched on England.
The communique claimed progres, however.
The railroad stations at Compiegne and Creil were set afire, the communique said. (The World War armistice was signed in Compiegne Forest).
Bulletins
Berlin, May 22.—(UP)—Responsible German quarters claimed today that German troops thrusting southwards in the direction of Paris had reached Soissert]. 55 miles from the French capital. There was no official confirmation of the report.
Paris, May 22.—(UP)—The ambulance service, in an announcement today, said that four American drivers and two ambulances had disappeared during the battle around Amiens but it was not known whether they had been killed or captured.
All the German aircraft were seaplanes, which were especially numerous over the villages of Abisko and Stordalen and Lake Torne and Trask near the iron mines at Kiruna, the agency said.
Stockholm. May 22.—(UP)— The semi-official news agency reported today a series of violations of north Swedish neutrality by "dozens of German airplanes."
London, May 22.—(UP)—Heavy British air attacks on German communications lines in Germany and Belgium last night were reported by the air ministry today while swarms of British airplanes patrolled the home skies on lookout for German bombers.
There were frequent air alarms throughout the region and anti-aircraft guards fired on the planes.
London, May 22.—(UP)—Maj. Clement Attlee, member of the inner war cabinet, told the House of Commons today that the "present situation is so critical" that the government must seek special powers to deal with it.
Allies Retake Arras--routes at dozens of points military experts said almost anything might happen.
One thing was certain. The Germans were mustering every resource to hold and extend the line they have driven all the way across northern France to the English channel. Their immediate objective was to crush the Allied army of the north—compromising the British expeditionary force, French units, the Belgian army and Dutch remnants—which has been cut off from the main French forces by the German drive across France.
Nazis Seek to Tighten Ring
The thrust of the German Abbeville forces toward Montreuil and St. Pol, in apparent disregard for their communications at Arras, is designed to tighten the steel ring around the Allied northern army. At the same time the German air force blasted at the French channel ports to hinder and disorganize any effort to remove the Allied army by sea.
In this dangerous situation the Allies were fighting back hard. Their recapture of Arras may indicate an attempt to blast a pathway through the German salient back to the main Allied positions south of the river Somme.
At the same time other units of the trapped Allied force smashed at Valenciennes, near the northern hinge of the original German break-through on the western front. Here again the objective is to blast a corridor through the German salient, cutting the German lines of communication and enabling the isolated French corps to rejoin their main body which here is south of the Aisne near Rethel.
Allies Say German Losses High
After conferring with Weygand, Premier Paul Reynaud expressed confidence in the outcome. "If we hold for a month," he asserted, "we shall have travelled three-fourths of the road to victory."
Huge losses were being suffered on each side. French sources estimated that the Germans had lost 500,000 killed and wounded since invading Holland. A London source placed German casualties on the western front at 250,000, plus 200,000 in Poland and 25,000 to 30,000 in Scandinavia. The Germans claimed to have captured 110,000 to 120,000 prisoners but did not estimate Allied casualties.
The Royal air force was heavily engaged in the Allied effort to extricate themselves from their dangerous position. R. A. F. planes last night bombed most of the line of German communications from Aachen, west to the fighting lines. Bridges across the Meuse were blasted and heavy attacks were made near Namur and Dinant.
German sources claimed the Allies had lost 2,000 planes in 11 days fighting and predicted that the war's outcome would be determined in the space of weeks.

Nazis Fight For Grip On Channel
(BULLETIN)
London, May 23—(UP)—Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced today that the Germans hold the channel port of Abbeville.
Churchill made the announcement to the House of Commons. He declared that heavy fighting is going on in and around Boulogne.
Boulogne is one of the two principal French channel ports closest to Great Britain. The other is Calais.
Churchill declared that the Geman armed forces which cut the corridor across France have now penetrated to the rear of the Allied armies in Belgium and now are attempting to interrupt their communications.
By Joe Alex Morris United Press Staff Correspondent
The Germans fought fiercely today to extend their foothold on the English channel, driving toward Calais and bombing the British channel harbor of Dover despite sharp Allied attacks on the flanks of their narrow corridor through northern France.
An Allied spokesman in London warned that the "situation remains very grave," particularly as regards communications with the Allied armies in north-
The renewed German thrust toward Calais and the narrowest part of the English channel (Dover is only 25 miles from Calais) was accompanied by a sunburst of declarations in Berlin that the attack on England will begin shortly.
Allies Fight to Break Channel Spear Allied forces both to the north and south of the German corridor were fighting stubbornly to break through.
fighting stubbornly to break through.
The French high command reported that its troops had driven back into the outskirts of Cambrail and that the battle in the north was being waged with "greatest violence." The British reported that fighting of equal violence was going on a short distance to the west between Arras and Baupaume and that their troops were holding their own.
The British high command said the Germans had attacked along the line

'We'll Finish What They Start,' Pittman Says
Washington, May 23.— (UP) — Chairman Key Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee hailed the Senate's unanimous, quick approval of the $1,823,522,724 army defense fund today as "notice to the world that we are going to finish anything they start."
Debate begins today on another record-breaking peace-time defense measure—the $1,473,756,728 Navy department appropriation bill—and administration leaders predicted that it, too, would get a unanimous vote.
The Army and Navy bills will boost the 1941 defense fund well over the $3,000,000,000 mark. Including the additional funds expected to be asked for naval aircraft and deficiency funds now being spent, the emergency defnese cost soon will be zooming toward $4,000,000,000.
Both the Army and Navy bills must be acted upon by the House which originally approved smaller sums. But leaders there promised to rush them through with as much dispatch as displayed in the Senate.
The Army bill, carrying unprecedented peace-time appropriations for airplanes, tanks, anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns, and an increase of $3,000 men in the army's enlisted strength, was approved by the Senate late yesterday, 74 to 10. Only a few voices were raised even against the bill's provision for granting President Roosevelt a $132,000,000 "blank check"—half in cash and half in contractural authority—to spend where he believes necessary.
The Senate's answer to Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg's proposal to create a joint congressional committee to "police" operations of the "blank cheek" fund was a loud "no." Senator Elmer Thomas, Okla., in (Continued on page seven)
Jap Sentiment Favors Entering War on Side of the Germans
Tokyo, May 23—(UP)—Sentiment favoring Japan's active participation in the European war on the side of Germany—with the Netherlands East Indies the Japanese reward for a totalitarian victory—reached increasing proportions today.
Several influential leaders and a number of newspapers joined a movement calling for abandonment
of the Japanese policy of non-involvement, especially after Germany informed Japan that she is "not interested in the East Indies problem."
The off. ' Domei news agency interpretedtn. German notification regarding the Fast Indies as giving Japan the officer of attorney' and a "free hawk in the islands." The
agency added that Germany no doubt would uphold Japan in whatever action she took regarding the East Indies.
Some neutral sources said, however, that the German stand regarding the East Indies might be intended to create tension between Japan and the United States, forcing the United States to keep its fleet in the Pacific.

Student Sculptors Display Skill In Union Exhibit
An exhibit of sculpturing by students of Bernard Frazier, artist-sculptor, is now displayed in the main lounge of the Memorial Union building.
Plaster, ceramic, and glazed terra cota were used by the students in their work. In making the ceramics, the students dug, refined, and fired their clay. Most of the pieces are figures, but there is one example of portrait modeling made by Richard Harwood, fa'40. The subject is Max Warshaw, gr.
Two of the students, William Campbell, gr, and Andy Darling, fa'41, turned from the more serious subjects to show "The Morning After" and "Subsidized." The latter piece is a model of a burly football player done in unglazed ceramic.
Other students whose work is shown are George Leather, fa'40,
Margaret Stookey, fa'40, Louis Weinberg, fa'41, Florence Challa-

YOUNG MAN

It's no fault of Horace Greeley's that he only advised young men to go West. That was back in the days before West, East, North and South were so easily and so economically reached by luxurious Greyhound Super-Coach. Today every college man and woman with an eye for savings and a yen for comfort and convenience puts Greyhound at the head of his "must" list for every trip.
Sample Greyhound Money-Saving Fares
And here's a tip: Probably you can save enough on your Greyhound ticket home to take an extra vacation trip this summer. There's no better way to get a real "close-up" of America's star attractions. By going one scenic route—returning another—you see twice as much without adding a penny to the cost of your trip.

Intramural Semi-Finals Today
"The Beer-barrel that walks like a man," Tony Galento, was telling the newsmen down south that he has no manager—that Harry Mendel and Herman Taylor are doing a temporary fronting for him. . . . Also, that he does not intend to train an ounce until two weeks before his Max Baer fight.
While the team was receiving these blankets, they were also presenting trainer Dean Nesmith, with a combination red wool and blue leather jacket. On the back in blue felt letters was inscribed, "Kansas Trainer". On the inside was a little identification tag, telling that the jacket was given by the Kansas basketball team of 1939-40.
ELWOOD COOKE, United States Lawn Tennis Association protege, is rumored to be getting ready to leave the Association flat, in order to run a sporting goods store.
Again the Kansas cagers have pulled through with more gifts, this time one being presented to them and one being presented by the Western N.C.A.A. champions.
The University gave to the cagers as a gift, a full sized red wool blanket, with blue edges and a large blue "K" in the center. In the corners were inscribed, "Basketball," "Western N.C.A.A. Champions", "Big Six Champions", and the name of each of the 11 players to receive the blankets in the other corner.
By Larry Winn
ON THE ROAD BACK are the New York Yankees, who have won two straight games, and THAT is really something for the Yanks this year. . . Marvin Breuer, former Kansas City Blues hurler, put the Detroit Tigers down yesterday with only 6-hits. . . Yankee followers think that maybe the World's Champions have found the "road back."
Bus Ham, sports editor of the Daily Oklahoma, tells us that "Nebraska and Iowa State are still running the Big Six." Bus' main kick is that Oklahoma can not use junior college graduates. He continues by saying that Nebraska and Iowa State have comparatively few junior colleges anyway, but that Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri are at a distinct disadvantage because these states do have many junior colleges, and they have many good athletes that are ineligible because they are junior college graduates.
IN THE NEWS AGAIN is Carl Miles, left-handed pitcher for the Missouri Tigers for the past three years, who has just announced that he has signed a contract with the Philadelphia Athletics and that he will join the club next Tuesday. In his three years, Carl won 11 games and lost only four, but we'll not put our money on him for big time stuff as yet. In the Kansas-Missouri game Monday, Miles pitched 7-hit ball, and struck out 11 Jayhawk batters.
Beta's Play Phi Psi's; Sig Alph's Meet Delt's
By Tom Higgins, b'40
The four best softball teams in the University as determined by the elimination tournament and the season's play, will meet this afternoon to determine the two teams that will tangle tomorrow for the championship cup. Beta plays Phi Psi and Sig Aloh will meet Delta Tau Delta.
Alph will meet Delta Tau Delta.
The pre-game favorites are Beta and Sig Alph. Beta is endowed with three strong pitchers and an array of batting talent intended to make the strongest of the opposing pitchers look poor. Hogben probably will be given the starting hurling assignment against the Psi's while Allen is slated to be on the mound for the Red and Green crew.
Hall, this year's strikeout king, will continue as the mainstay of the Sig Alph hurling staff and will be opposed by Cluster.
Though the pitching will determine much of the outcome, a lot depends on the support that the

pitchers get from their "brothers." Each team has many individual stars that will shine brightly today.

Dethrone Michigan' Indiana
Chicago, May 23—(UP)—Right now, dethroning Michigan as Big Ten track champion is the order of the day down at Indiana. Private feuds are out. But come Saturday, if the luck of the draw falls just right, the two best quarter-milers in Big Ten history—one from Michigan and the other a Hoosier—will renew a bitter rivalry that may decide the team championship.
Baseball games, horseshoe pitching, and a swim have been planned, in addition to a free supper.
Cochran, however, must defend his 220 yard low hurdles crown and also will run the 220 yard dash since the dash field is none too strong. These events, in addition to the gruelling 440, may be too much for the sandy-haired Hoosier bullet unless the draw for Friday's preliminaries spaces his three trials far apart. It's up to Hayes to decide.
Men who have made their first letters this year are included in the group.
Coach E. C. "Billy" Hayes, Indiana's developer of wolrd champions, is wrestling with his conscience. He wants to win the conference title. His trump card, Roy Cochran, wants to meet Michigan's great quartermiler, Warren Breidenbach, in an attack on the 24 year old conference record of 47.4 seconds.
If he goes to the post against Breidenbach, it will be the best conference quarter-mile race of all time. Cochran was the sensation of the winter season, consistently bettering the accepted world record of 48.9 seconds. In the conference indoor championships, he set a new world dirt track record of 48.2.

Sands to Pitch For Jayhawkers Against Cyclones

Jack Sands, the Jayhawk's left handed first-baseman and pitcher, was nominated this morning by Coach Mike Getto to hurl the first of three games in two days, with the Iowa State Cyclones tomorrow at Ames.
Cyclones tomorrow at the Leon Wilson, Iowa State fireball artist, who defeated the Jayhawks 17 to 3 earlier this spring, is scheduled to work the first contest for the Cyclones.

Old Boxing Issue Up Tonight When Ceferino Meets Ken
New York, May 23—(UP)—The issue of whether a boxer can develop a punch by spending endless, tiresome hours in the spartan exercise of lifting glasses in cocktail lounges will be settled for all time tonight when Ken (Primose Path) Overlin fights for the middleweight championship of the world.
His opponent will be Ceferino Garcia, the deadly bolo puncher from the Philippines, who is recognized by the New York Boxing Commission as middleweight champion. Garcia is one of those moss-backed old conservatives, who clings to the idea that the way to train for a fight is to spend hours shadow boxing, doing road work and gulping fresh air. Betting men, skeptical of the new training doctrines expounded by Mr. Overlin, have made Garcia an 11 to 5 favorite to retain his title.
Mr. Overlin dismisses the odds with a sneer, hinting that home of the bettors, who thing fresh air is good for boxers were among the small knot of jeering persons who advised Henry Ford to get a horse when the first automobile rolled down the road.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Saturday, the teams will play two seven-inning games, in order to make up the contest which was rained out here last month. Henry Horak and "Red" Dugan will share the pitching duties.
Thompson to First
While Sands is doing the hurling Friday, "Ted" Thompson will cover first base. Larry Hensley will be on second, Ray Napier at short, and Knute Kresie at third. Getto is hoping that he won't have to hand Kresie another pitching assignment this year, because the little right hander is still hampered by a back injury. However, if worst comes to worst, Getto may wave Kresie to the mound.
The series between the Cyclones and the Jayhawks will have no effect on the position of either team in the conference stanidngs. The Iowa State nine is sure to finish in fourth place, and the Kansans are just as certain to retain their grip on the cellar.
Closes Spring Sports
The games with Iowa State will not only bring the baseball season to an end, but they will also mark the conclusion of all the spring sports for the year.
Four Girls Still Competing In Union-Sponsored Cue Meet
With only the semi-finals in the co-ed cue tournament yet to be played, four girls are still competing, in the Union-sponsored contest.

To Exhibit Color News Pictures Here This Week
In answer to the man who said, "It can't be done," the Chicago Tribune invested over a million dollars in a color studio for the development of newspaper color prints. The dividends from that investment should draw plenty of interest at the exhibit of newspaper pictures in color at the Memorial Union building this week.
The collection is being shown here for the first time at any college or university. The exhibit has recently been attracting attention at the Chicago Art Institute. From Lawrence the color prints will go to the William Rockhill Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City for a month's exhibition.
Color pictures in themselves are nothing new. They have been used commercially in magazines for a long time. But the process used has been a lengthy one, incapable of being adapted to high-speed newspaper work. To bring colored news pictures within the confines of the deadline, the Chicago Tribune set up their studio. Its pioneering research, in conjunction with a camera manufacturer, developed an entirely new technique, using a one-shot, special color camera with three negatives. With it the picture can be taken, developed, and printed in the paper within two hours.
The pictures on display here are all "stills", including a shot of a statue of Nathan Hale, portrait pictures of
This exhibit was brought to the University by Bert Brandt, former student, now assistant manager of the Kansas City division of Acme Newphoto. While in Chicago last month, Mr. Brandt spent a day in the Tribune's color studios. Impressed by the uniqueness of the prints, he asked permission to bring the pictures to the campus for a week before their scheduled appearance in Kansas City

When the rains came this week, the campus sprouted clever white raincoats with hats to match. These short boxy coats are so clever and the turned up hats so flattering and youthful that outfits are being worn on sunny days, too.
Spun rayons in prints continue to be as good as they were last year but cotton is king this season. Shark-skin, a favorite of last season, is a natural for sailor dresses in white with navy trim or navy with white trim.

Delta Tau Delta has a fine working infield that has made remarkable recoveries this year and it is expected that it will cut off many a batter that reaches base. Voran is especially apt at the first sack and his southpaw batting is a menace to all hurlers.
Beta's list of outstanding players is headed by Hogben and Weineck. Both men are powerhouses at the plate and mainstays in the outfield and infield respectively.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS $ \star $ LETTERS $ \star $ PATTER
Their independence revealed the individualism of the frontier. The Johnsons did not beg their parents to finance a complete outfit for their first trip. They did not wait for a museum or a rich philanthropist to come to their aid. Certainly the couple would not be great as fixers, nor would they be credited with a lot of "practical" sense.
The Johnsons are primarily a result of Kansas economies, the sweeping change-about, hardbitten variety. People like the Johnsons would be impossible in a European farm area, even in such a democracy as France. There, social tradition binds. In such a tradition, to gamble one's niche for a precarious return, to marry without parent approval are unbelievable. The Johnsons could not be great as followers of tradition.
Kansas Offspring
Out of Philadelphia this week has come a book about the adventures of a young Kansas couple, known to the world simply as the top rung of American explorer-hunters. The title fits and certainly it is more appropriate than the "Fearless Johnsons", or the "Hunters of the South Seas", or the "Watchers of the Wild".
The Johnsons have been great in their possession of independence, of initiative, courage, the same sort of courage it takes to put wheat, and barley, and next year's future into an excause of earth that may blow away the next day. Children of a freight engineer and a watchmaker, Osa and Martin Johnson have sought for answers to their curiosity. They have not mulled over the findings of Darwin, Abruzzi, Agassiz, Breasted, or Huxley. Instead, something out of Kansas' sweating, sodbreaking, grasshopper fighters and something from the bottle-breaking Carrie Nations put an itch in their blood to be off into the unknown, to bring movie reels and information back to civilization. They could only be great as explorer-hunters, for they burst from a soil noted for driving energy. It is to the pride of Kansas that she has fostered Osa and Martin Johnson.
Such a proposal has been sent to the Board of Regents. It asks that the Jayhawker, the University Daily Kansan, and reduced basketball prices be included in the fee. This is not out of line with what students at Kansas State college receive, since the price of the Royal Purple, State's annual, and the Collegian, student newspaper, are included under one blanket charge.
With next year's activity fee hiked to $12, it is the concensus among students that as an attempt to equalize fees between Kansas State college and the University the action by the Board of Regents must either provide for more activities or fall far short of its declared purpose. Briefly, the students want more for their money.
Mrs. Martin Johnson, author of "I Married Adventure," and the late Mr. Johnson rose, as many other celebrities have done, as a product of their surroundings, as an accomplishment of Kansas and the rip-roar-part of the 1900's. Further, only because the state was still green, and wild, and forever on a mad Dianic chase for more than fate and the weather had settled upon it, are these two entitled to the name of "explorer-hunters".
More Fees--For What?
★ ★ ★
Opposition was encountered at the introduction of the resolution on the grounds that the Athletic Association might be deprived of its share of the higher fee. Just how or why the association would fail to get its share of the boodle was not explained. It is true that hard times have come to the association, since losing teams and losses in attendance are mutual but unwelcome bedfellows, but any move to raise the association's share beyond its present proportion would be unjust. The association received $3.50 (less 3.5 per cent) from the present fee.
The matter is one of too much importance to be mauled about by quibbling, but the fact that it is the individual student who feels the pinch of the raised fee makes it imperative that he be given something more than sympathy when the final allocation is made. Student pocketbooks are still vital accessories, despite the occasional thrust of the ill-informed that the University is a school for rich men's sons and daughters.

Hill Forest Started Back In 1877 By Seniors
The history of Mt. Oread as a campus might easily be divided into two periods, Before Trees and After Trees. In the spring of 1877, the Before Trees period came to a close when the graduating class planted a hackberry tree 100 feet north east of Fraser hall. This was one of a few trees planted that day.
The Great Arbor Day, however, came on Friday, March 29, 1878. This day was set aside by the Douglas County Horticultural Society to "set out forest and ornamental trees on the campus."
"All citizens of the county are invited to attend," the meeting notes of March 16, 1878 read, "and if so inclined might make a nice little speech 'humorous or otherwise'."
And so the University took a holiday to plant trees. Aided by the faculty and citizens, the students set out, under the personal direction of Dr. James Marvin, then chancellor of the University, scores of trees donated to the school.
A number of elms given by Mr. N. P. Deming were planted in a form west of Fraser hall. They were set out according to a design representing Fraser hall. Those left are on the R.O.T.C. parade ground just north of Fowler shops.
Mr. Deming lived on what is now a part of the west campus. In his nice little speech, "humorous or otherwise", he said, "I am right west of this University. I want to see this hill covered with beautiful trees. But I had those trees planted just in that place, so that when I am old they will keep back the sun and I can sleep longer in the morning."

From the Little Black Notebook
The most diplomatic after dinner speech we have ever heard was delivered by Editor Dick McCann at the Jayhawker banquet last night. . .
We sincerely hope that we aren't telling tales out of school when we
report that the following spent the 10:30 hour yesterday in the Union Fountain: Paul Morse, Bob Shaffer, Leo Brenheimer, Jack and Lawrence Nelson, Bill Waugh, Mary Jane McCoy, Jane Coffman, Mary Lewis, Marianna Bantleon, Phil Busick, etc. . . The local chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon is certainly not lacking in one ingredient of a good fraternity-spirit. . . you should have seen them tie into the Beta's in their softball contest the other day. . . If all professors who want the United States to enter the European war were laid end to end, this country would have a much better chance of staying neutral. . . Hits at last night's Marathon Midweek were the Sigma Chi German Band and Virginia Gzell. . They tell us the crowd was the largest to attend a Midweek this year. . Unbiased observers say that the Modern Choir would have won a more unanimous approval if its program had been shorter. . . When the Shinster gets intelligent fan mail such as appeared in his column yesterday, we burn with envy. . . The only communications we have received were from anxious Theta's who apparently have been philandering with their neighbors to the south. . We hope the girls will relax when we tell them that the notebook was found, but the note in question has disappeared.
Y. M.C.A. Advisory Board To Meet The Y.M.C.A. advisory board will elect officers for next year following a luncheon in the English room of the Union building Saturday.
The luncheon will be at 12:30 p.m.

Two More Flyers Receive Wings
The Ashcraft Flying School's record of second in the United States in progress was given another boost yesterday when two more students passed their private pilot examinations, bringing the list to 17. James Lee, c'40, and Herman Schmidt, c'41, were the students who won their first wings.
Purdue University is first in progress and safety with the Ashcraft Flying School running a close second, both for this year and last. The rating is given by the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
The flying program for this year, calling for 2500 hours of flying-250,-000 miles in laymen's terms-is 75 per cent over, according to Bill Ashcraft, instructor in the flying school. More than this number of hours and miles have been flown by Ashcraft planes, if the commercial flying done is counted, without any serious mishap to a plane, Ascraft said. Fifty students have been receiving the government flight training.
At present Ashercraft is preparing to set up an advanced flying course for this summer. The instructor will go to Chicago soon to obtain special rating from the C.A.A. which will permit him to instruct about five of the students who passed their examinations last year in acrobatics and other advanced maneuvers.
Faculty Members Present Papers At Medical Meeting
Nine faculty members of the University School of Medicine presented scientific papers before the regional meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which met in Kansas City, Mo., last weekend. Approximately 400 child specialists from all parts of the Middlewest attended the three-day conference.
The subjects of the papers which they presented ranged from heart disease in children to hereditary skin disorders and glandular imbalance. Dr. Frank C. Neff, chief of the pediatric department at the University, presided over the session on "Practical Clinical Topics." Also participating in the program were Dr. George A. Walker of the department of pathology, Dr. Galen Tice of the department of roentgenology, Dr. Robert C. Fredean, and Dr. Graham Asher of the department of medicine, Dr. Donald N. Medearis, Dr. Hugh L. Dwyer, and Dr. N. P. Sherwood, of the department of bacteriology, Dr. Fred Mayes, and Dr. Neff.

Senate Shows---charge of the bill, argued that it was no time to set up committees when there is "no doubt in my mind that Germany's immediate aim is to conquer and dominate the world."
The Senate stepped far ahead of the $1,182,000,000 emergency defense program laid down by President Roosevelt in his special message to Congress last week. Thus far, either by its own or by committee action, the President's estimates have been boosted $282,717,910 (M).
The Navy bill carries out Mr. Roosevelt's requests for $250,000,000 cash to build up the navy air force and hasten construction of warships already authorized, and another $68,000,000 "blank check" to spend as he sees fit in strengthening that branch of the service.
Three Youths---the spot 3 miles west of Lawrence where they had hidden the property stolen from the student car.
Uttinger, with Howe, was taken to the sheriff's office following last night's incident, where they admitted the theft of the 1932 green convertible Chevrolet to Milton P. Beach, Douglas county attorney, and Sheriff Charles Banning. Jennings was taken to the hospital where he is receiving treatment for the gunshot wound. His condition is not considered serious.
Charges of larceny were filed against the three youths this morning and their bond set at $500. Their preliminary hearing is scheduled before Robert Oyler, May 31.
Charge Larceny
In their confessions, the boys admitted having stolen a car Tuesday night from 1621 Edgehill road and driving it three miles south of Lawrence before stripping it of tires, headlights and minor accessories. They told of loading the loot into a car and transporting it 3 miles west
of Lawrence where they cached the tires and wheels in a clump of bushes.
The hidden accessories were found yesterday afternoon by members of the sheriff's force who worked on the case yesterday after finding the stripped Chevrolet south of Lawrence. The sheriff stationed Owens at the scene, where he remained until the youths returned last night.
Uttinger and Jennings drove to the spot about 9:30 p.m. and started loading the loot into Uttinger's model A Ford. When the two started to drive away, Owens stepped in front of the car and told the youths to stop. The two continued driving away and Owens shot four times at the car, the last shot opening a wound in Jenning's scalp.
Owens, who was on foot, had called the members of the sheriff's office, while an ambulance was being summoned and the group accosted the boys as they left the Jennings' farm. After medical attention was given Jennings, the youths were taken to the sheriff's office where they signed the confession. Howe, who had no part in last night's episode, was arrested at his home.
Police Find Loot
Nazis Fight---of the Schelted in western Belgium and had forced a crossing of the river at Audenarde. The Germans said their drive in this region was now beginning to pick up speed.
On the southern flank of the German corridor, the French said the positions were unchanged except for small-scale infiltration of mobile units in the vicinity of Amiens. Artillery duels were going on in the east at Attiguy, Longuyon and Nied. Admit Bombings of Coast
The German high command indicated that its efforts were now concentrated in the channel sector. In addition to the bombing of Dover, Dunkerque on the French side was raided and there was heavy aerial activity over the narrow waters of the channel and its approaches. The Germans said three transports and a tanker totalling 20,000 tons had been sank and a destroyer damaged.

A London source indicated that the German report of the bombing of the channel ports was correct. He said that the ports still could be used but only at certain times (presumably at night) and that they had not been bombed so severely as to make them untenable.

Number One news spot in the U.S.A.
ALL IN!
It is the voice of Bill Donaldson, Superintendent of the House press gallery. Every Friday morning at 10:30 and Tuesday afternoon at 4, that familiar call resounds through the oval inner room of the White House executive offices.
And with these two words, as free of ceremony as the shout of a subway guard, proclamation is made that the accredited correspondents of the nation's newspapers—75 to 200 strong—will now proceed to question the President of the United States.
Let no foreign newspaperman suppose (and several of them are usually present) that the absence of fanfare implies any lack of seriousness. Not these days.
In the doldrums of last winter, the spot news men in the front row and the stiff-collared Mark Sullivan at the rear exchanged many a wisecrack with the man in the chair. But now the correspondents' questions, always prepared in advance and carefully worded, are asked with a full sense of their national and international import.
The front row may occasionally relieve the tension with a jest, but for the most part the problems of the hour are too harsh and dire for anything but the gravest faces, the most searching and genuine thoughtfulness on both sides of that famous, gadget-laden desk.
Number One news spot in the U. S. A? Yes, and in this portentous year of 1940, it may well be more than that. For this year, a World War and an American presidential election cross each other's paths—a meeting more weighted with destiny than any conjunction of planets.
Third term possibilities...changes in defense plans...developments in foreign policy...no newsman can go through these doors now without feeling that he may come out with a story for the history books.
Not always have the Presidential doors swung open to correspondents. Most 19th century Presidents, even Lincoln, were suspicious of newspapermen. But during the reign of the unbending Cleveland, a reporter named Bill Price hit on the scheme of hanging around the White House gate to buttonhole the departing visitor, and he soon had plenty of initiators.
It was Theodore Roosevelt who first saw the possibilities in that little group of gate-watchers. One rainy day soon after the assassin's bullet had catapulted him into the Presidency, he called them in, gave them an anteroom of their own, and established the custom of face-to-face questioning of President by press.
This journalistic questioning has really become part of the American governmental process. It means that Democracy gets more than lip service between elections. It means that it is somebody's regular job to report to the stockholders of U. S. A., Inc. what their chief has on his mind. Extended to all other public servants in Washington, it means that the citizen learns what the government is doing, and the government learns what the citizen is thinking.
White House coverage, of course, is only a fraction of the complicated Washington assignment. The queer little political island of D. C. is dotted with news sources. There is the Senate, which can (and has) upset the Presidential foreign affairs apple cart. There is the House, which must untie the purse strings for every Presidential project. There is the Supreme Court, which can topple his legislation after it's all signed, sealed, and delivered. And the Executive Departments . . . and the 79 independent administrative agencies . . . and the foreign embassies and legations . . . all gushing news from time to time faster than the White House itself.
It's no job for an amateur—and there are no amateurs in the Washington correspondent corps. Many have been foreign correspondents in important European capitals, editorial writers on great metropolitan papers, managing editors or city editors.
Mally write books, magazine articles, syndicated columns. Though their median age is only 37, every one has proved himself on some lesser firing line. And they are paid accordingly ...$25,000 for the tops, $6000 for the average.
No other group in Washington is their superior in intelligence. None has fewer axes to grind, fewer oxen to be gored. And few men, even in public office, have deeper responsibilities to the people.
Together with TIME's own Washington staff of eleven, these men supply the rich harvest of news from which the Newsmagazine extracts the most significant kernels.
Because the Presidency is the hub around which the nation revolves, TIME has always accorded leadoff position to what is virtually a diary for the President. No week of his life is unimportant, and TIME readers always know what he has done with it. And they know, too, every noteworthy event in the other departments of the government, for the Presidential "diary" is followed by a review of all Washington during a week of the nation's political history.
One integrated, dramatic story...this is what TIME creates out of the two million words that pour forth from the city by the Potomac each week. Every piece of vital news is fitted into every other piece ... out of the week's haze of details emerges a clear, consistent, meaningful picture.
Democratic government will survive in this unfriendly world if the electorate knows and cares what its public servants are doing . . . faces its democratic decisions with an informed understanding. TIME takes the responsibility for seeing that a most influential section of the electorate knows, cares, and understands.
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.

German'Iron Ring' Cuts in on Allies
Nazis Drive On To Squeeze Trap Nearer Channel
A smash through the fortified Allied lines along the Scheldt (Escaut) river in Belgium to the Lys river banks, capture of Tourain and Maubeuge and mechanized advances through the Arras area to the English channel ports were reported by the high command.
Berlin, May 24 - (UP) German armies were reported officially today to have cut the Allied fighting ground in Flanders in half and to be breaking it up into small pieces in an effort to "destroy" the British Belgian and French armies in the north.
The German efforts to draw tightly the trap around perhaps a million Allied soldiers in the north admittedly were more difficult because of stiffer resistance in severe fighting in Flanders.

The new University song recently introduced by Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians will not be on the program when glee clubs from five social fraternities vie for honors at the Inter-Fraternity sing Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium.
Groups competing say the wide range from top tenor parts to deep bass is beyond the range of their male choruses.
Delta Upsilon, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi. A new plaque will be awarded to the winning chorus, and cups will be given for second and third places.
For the past five years the glee club of Phi Delta Theta has won the annual singing contest. Last year Sigma Nu took second place, and Delta Tau Delta and Delta Upsilon tied for third.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, will act as master of ceremonies.

Entire Basement To Be Remodeled During Summer
By Jay Simon, c'40
Students coming back to the Hill next fall will be able to step into the basement of Memorial Union building and with little trouble imagine themselves in a ritzy Fifth Avenue club.
Plans for the remodeling job on the Union sub-basement have been approved, and the $14,000 project is slated to get underway July 1, Henry Werner, adviser to men and chairman of the Union Operating committee, announced this morning.
---
Architects Bloomgarten and Frohwerk of Kansas City have been shuffling the space around with their pencils for weeks, trying to hit upon a scheme that would suit the committee's fancy and the University's pocket book.
Double Size of Fountain
Yesterday afternoon the sketches were okayed and the committee is well pleased with the new arrangement, Werner said.
(Continued on page seven)
It is hard to say whether the new fountain or the recreation room is going to please students most. The coke and coffee den will be nearly twice as large as the present one, with more than twice as much booth space.
The recreation room will be "co-educational" in the future. It will be 86 feet long and partially divided into three sections by glass tile screens running from floor to ceiling. Men and women will have the run of the place on equal terms.
The new basement will have four divisions. Where the fountain is now located will go three offices with doors opening to the east into the same passageway that now runs north and south between the W.S.G.A. book exchange and the fountain. Two of these offices will be for the Jayhawker and the Union operating committee. Applications for the other have been made by the Y.M.C.A. and the I.S.A., but no decision has been reached as to which group will get it.
Winner of the $100 first prize in the annual Hattie Elizabeth Lewis contest is Freeman W. Meyer, c'42, of Wathena, it was announced last night following a meeting of the committee of awards.
Meyer, Taylor, Crawford Win Lewis Essay Awards
Second price of $75 was won by Donald W. Taylor, c'42 of Topeka. Third prize of $50 went to Miss Jean Anne Crawford, c'40, Lawrence, daughter of Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the School of Engineering. Raymond Kirk Faris, c'40, of Kansas City, Mo., was given honorable mention.
The prizes are awarded annually for the best essays on the application of Christianity to everyday problems. Only seven entries were judged this year. $ \textcircled{1} $
Meyer wrote on "Christian Pacifism". Although the committee did not agree as to the merits of the arguments advanced, it awarded the first prize to Meyer because of his challenging thesis and lucid exposition. Meyer held that the Christian must either admit the defeat of his religion or else keep its tenets by refraining from advocating war under any circumstances.
The awards were made by a committee composed of Prof. Seba Eldridge, of the department of sociology, chairman; Prof. Elise Neuen-Schwander, of the department of romance languages; H. L. Smith, assistant professor in journalism; and Prof. Alice Winston, of the department of English.
All candidates for the award may obtain their manuscripts at the English office, 201 Fraser hall.

Beta vs. Sig Alph Today
Hogben To Face Alph's Bill Hall For Softball Cup
Its Beta versus Sig Alph in the finals of intramural softball this afternoon at 4:30.
The Beta's earned their chance to play in the finals, when they soundly defeated Phi Psi, 5 to 3, while the Sig Alph's were trouncing the Delta Tau Delta's by a score of 14 to 6.
Phi Psi obtained a two-run lead in the second inning after two men were out, but this lead was short lived when the Beta's came back in their half to score three times. They then added two more runs, and because of Psi walks and errors, the strong Tennessee street team was able to stop the late Phi Psi rally.
Hogben A Star
Behind the sensational softball pitching of Bill Hogben, the Beta's were able to set down a Phi Psi rally in the Psi half of the seventh inning. With the bases loaded and only one out, Hogben pitched superb tail to allow only one run to cross the plate during that inning.
Bob Stoland, and Steve Meade, Beta and Phi Psi first baseman respectively, led their teams in the pinches, while Bob Allen pitched very good ball for the losers. Catcher Bob O'Neil, and the Pierce brothers, Don and Dick, played outstanding ball for the Loving Cup boys.
Hall In Superb Form
Sig Alph scored six runs in the first inning, and then added eight more tallies before the game was over to take their decisive victory over the Delt's. Bill Hall, showed beautiful form as he has all through the playoffs, when he struck out 10 batters and kept the Delt's in check, except for the third inning, when the D.T.D.'s were able to put across their six runs, before being retired by some strong infield support.
Bruce Voran was about the only Delt able to solve Hall's pitching, when he connected with the ball in all of his three official trips to the plate. But in turn, Hall likewise had a perfect day at bat, getting three hits and a walk, and scoring four runs.
John Cluster was the hurler for the losers.
Alph's Seek Revenge
Observers are thinking that the Sig Alph's might gain revenge for an early defeat at the hands of the Beta's, when the Tennessee street boys put the Campus road boys down, 11 to 9 a couple of weeks ago. Both teams are hoping to win this all-important tussle.
Dean Schwegler to Speak At Chicago Convention
R. A. Schwegler, dean of the School of Education, will leave tomorrow for Chicago where he will speak at a convention f the Chicago Park Districts in the Belden-Stratford hotel.
For the past two summers Dean Schwegler has spent his vacations in parks observing their program plans and the children's reaction to them with respect to juvenile delinquency.
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
That hungry pack of "wolves" is on the lookout again for good high school athletes. That pack of "wolves" is the university coaches all over the country, whose main cry is "the hunt is on."
The many coaches are beginning to put the shining offers in front of the innocent high schools boys' eyes again, and this is the perfect time of year for the coaches to come up with something nice for the athletes.
By the grapevine news association, we have gathered the information that a Missouri coach was in Kansas City, Mo., the other day, talking to the Southwest high school athletes. This same source reeveals that he has jobs for Carl Nichols, state and city broadjump champion, Ed Matheny, all-star football and basketball on the championship Indian teams, Jack Mering, all-star football player, and Chalmers Woods, state dash champion in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes last year for this summer.
On top of that they will get $18 a month, and are supposed to save half. The he supposedly told each one, he would have a job for them next fall at M.U. and he also hinted that he could get them into any fraternity that each wanted.
1. By Alumni and Friends. The Conference is opposed to the recruiting of prospective students by alumni and friends, when the reason for such recruiting is that the prospective students are athletes. The conference will make continued and positive efforts to eliminate such recruiting.
Quotations from the Big Six rule book:
RECRUITING:
2. By members of Athletic Staffs. Members of athletic staffs shall not recruit prospective athletes. Staff members shall avoid the appearance of recruiting. Evidence that a staff member has been guilty of recruiting shall be considered grounds for action discontinuing the scheduling of contests with these teams with which he is connected or for which he has been recruiting.
J. Sands to Face Iowa State Today
Hospital Releases R. Miller
Ralph Miller, football and basketball star, was released from the Watkins Memorial hospital this morning, after he had been there eight days, following an operation on his famous knee.
Dr. C. B. Francisco, Kansas City bone specialist, operated on "Cappy's" knee Thursday, May 16, to remove the inner semi-lunar cartilage
The hospital reports Miller in good condition, but he will remain on crutches awhile.
Regulations governing recruiting by staff members are designed to relieve the coaches of any suggestion of responsibility for recruiting material for their teams.
AND FROM KANSAS CITY, KANSAS comes the news that a former Kansas basketball captain and now a successful cage coach, called a Wyandotte High School court star long distance, and told him to hop the next bus for Boulder, Colo., and that the player could have a job this summer and then the coach promised to take care of the boy for four years in school.
Meanwhile Kansas State officials have offered the same boy a job with the Kansas State Highway Department.
THEN THE QUESTION ARISES:
Why can't Kansas do something for their athletes? THE ANSWER: K.U.
just doesn't have the jobs to offer in the first place, and in the second place, it is against the Big Six rules (ha ha).
Senior architects will be honored at a farewell banquet tomorrow night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union at 6:30.
Honor Architects Tomorrow Night
The program is all-student, DeVon Carlson, e'41, president of the Architectural Society, said today, and will consist of speeches and musical numbers by a quartet.
Presentation of freshman and sophomore awards based on general work and of junior and senior awards based on design work alone will be made.
Students in the school are divided into two teams to promote the sale of tickets.

Women's Intramurals
By CECIL KING
The senior class team defeated the sophomores 23-19 in women's intramural baseball yesterday afternoon.
Evelyn Kinney smashed a home un with the bases loaded, and scored four runs for the seniors in the fourth inning.
Jean Perry and Lois Wisler shared the honors of pitcher for the seniors. Jane Blaney and Gearlidine Ulm played the catcher position.
On the sophomore team, Dorothy Smith and Barbara Lingenfelter were the pitchers and Jean Wedell and Alta Bingham were the catchers. Third base was ably played by Evelyn Herriman.
The seniors and the freshmen, the two winning class teams will battle for the class championship Monday. The two losing teams, the sophomores and the juniors will play Tuesday.
Corbin hall will meet I.W.W. to fight for the women's intramural baseball championship tonight.
NOTICE FRESHMAN GOLFERS
Thirty-six hole freshman numeral qualifying rounds will be played Friday and Saturday—18 holes Friday afternoon and 18 holes Saturday morning.
William H. Shannon, Coach.
With all chance of finishing the Big Six season out of the conference cellar gone with the wind, the Kansas Jayhawks took the field in Ames this afternoon hoping to breeze through the Iowa State Cyclones and in so doing make their last place average slightly respectable.
Jack Sands, Jayhawk southpaw, and Leon Wilson, Cyclone right-hander, were the opposing pitchers in today's game with "Red" Dugan and Henry Horak expected to face Willard Mylenbusch, and Harry Mickelson in tomorrow's doubeheader.
Sands' Second Start
Wilson, who specializes in strike-outs, has won four contests and lost three this year. Sands' only starting appearance was against the champion Oklahoma nine, and, although it resulted in defeat, he succeeded in subduing the Sooners for seven of the nine innings.
This year's Cyclone team is composed entirely of juniors and sophomores, so prospects are bright for Iowa State to rank higher next season than the present fourth place squad. The Cyclones' infield has clicked off 14 double plays this spring and will be trying to make it 20 before the series with the Jayhawks is completed.
The Kansas record for the year will have to be written into the books

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTE
With the country as worried over defenses as it now is, that party which evidences more interest in the welfare of the nation than in party politics will be standing aces high with the lectorate next fall. Both the republicans and the democrats had better play ball with the nation's best interests because the one that doesn't is going to get flunked out of Electoral College.
Play Ball, Boys
Landon, Knox, and fellow-travelers have followed a wise course in refusing to form a coalition government. If their object in doing so was to preserve the 2-party system they are to be praised. But if their refusal was based on the theory of blackmail—we've got something you want, so give us what we want and we'll make a deal—then they should get a raspberry from everyone who is worrying about the state of the nation.
While any attempt of Roosevelt to use the critical foreign situation as a political bludgeon to make stooges out of the Republicans is to be looked upon with disgust, it is just as distasteful to learn that the Republics are using like pressure to make Roosevelt renounce his political future.
★ ★ ★
If the democrats wish Roosevelt to run again this fall they have a legitimate right to have him as their candidate. If, after the administration's record of the past years, the Republicans can't defeat the New Deal chieftain, they had better give up the ghost and hand the emblematic pachyderm over to the socialists. The people are crying for an efficient handling of the defense program; that alone should give the business-like Republicans a large enough selling point without trying to use underhanded methods in getting Roosevelt to withdraw.
This nation may be rich in economic resources but it certainly must be poor in leadership. Just think: only one man out of around 130,000,000 persons seems to be fit for the presidency.
★ ★ ★
Terror May Reign
It looks as though anyone who doesn't agree entirely with the administration is going to be branded as a "fifth columnist" and burned in effigy—or in the newspapers. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is the first of many Americans to come who will be branded unpatriotic, Nazi sympathizer, and un-American if their personality does not happen to please a certain group of over-zealous pseudo-patriots.
The increased FBI seems adequate to take care of un-American activities. If it isn't, additional like governmental bodies should be set up to take care of the situation. This business of one neighbor taking it upon his own personal shoulders to burn his neighbor as un-America is extremely dangerous. It is very likely to turn into a wild witch hunt with all America being weakened by the orgy.
--big brother to a divider. Citizens of this country have expressed a desire to fight only if the homeland is invaded. Obviously this is an understatement. The United States cannot afford to let any foreign, hostile power get a foothold anywhere on the North American continent. Only in this way might invasion be successful. Yet before the administration effects any entangling alliances, it should realize that 50,000 airplanes are not enough to defend over 25,000 miles of open coast line from Labrador to the Archipelago. Rather the state department should give special interest to the defense of Hawaii and the Panama, Alaska and Greenland. Canada and Mexico can manage with little help.
★ PATTE
Undoubtedly there is a good deal of hostile ideas being swept about the country. The disseminators of these ideas can be dealt with only by competent, experienced bodies. Unless these groups are allowed to deal with the situation, some well-meaning but foolish Americans are going to set loose a reign of terror in the United States at a time when sanity and level-headedness is desired most.
YOU SAID IT
No Bluffing Allowed
Y, MA
Editor, Dany Kansan.
Now that the Nazis have driven deep into the Allied strongholds, the New Deal has suddenly been thrown from considerations of relief and social legislation to appropriations for airplanes and rearmament. As yet not much has been said concerning just how much of the world these "items of defense" will be expected to defend. While there is still time, the administration should take a lesson from England and France, who have found it hard to live up to agreements made in good faith to other countries. The people of this country should realize before South American "goodwill" plans go too far, that the United States cannot hope to protect the whole of the Western Hemisphere.
No one can deny that in case the Nazis triumph in the "total war" it would be highly desirable to keep Hitler completely out of this portion of the globe. President Monroe was the first to express such a desire in his famous doctrine. Yet should this country pledge to protect South America from invasion, it might be drawn into a conflict that it might otherwise escape. For instance, Germany might claim rich ore and oil deposits in British, Dutch, and French South American possessions. Argentine and Brazil might even find it convenient from a commercial standpoint to join the Berlin Axis. Could the United States play "big brother" to a divided continent?
can manage that South American soil is foreign soil. It is just as bad to die or squander money in Venezuela and Peru as in Flanders and Lorraine. The United States has enough on its hands here on the North American continent without getting involved in a system that it cannot maintain under pressure.

Chancellor Snow Found Way To Fight Chinch Bu
By Lyle Eggleston, c'42
Back in the latter 80's the tiny, silver-winged, ill sninchin bugs were laying waste to vast acreages of Kansas. According to the 1891 annual report of the University of K Experiment station, it was while reading the reports of the Board of Agriculture that the former Chancellor F. H. noticed a definite check on the insects during wet seasons reasoned that some disease was causing the decrease, for not natural that the bugs would die so suddenly without a def- 2,000 sent Of these 1,657
not natural that the bug we die so suddenly without a definite cause.
By studying the dead bugs Professor Snow found that a white parisite fungus was killing the insects By further experiment he found that healthy bugs could easily and quickly be given the infection.
When the news of his experiment appeared in the newspapers, he was deluged with requests from farmers in all the adjoining states for a few of the "sick" bugs. The state of Kansas appropriated money for an experiment station here at the University, and hundreds of little jelly glasses containing the infected bugs were sent out to farmers all over the state. With each jar went a list of instructions, and also a request for a full report on the effect of the insects. During the summer of 1891, 1399, replies were received out of
2,000 sent Of these,1,071 we ported to be successes, 181 wereures, and 147 were doubtful.
But experiments in the following years began to show discursive results. It was found that afection spread very little until weather conditions were favorable. Finally entomics discovered that the white fungi present in any soil, and the transmission to the bugs wound place automatically if co-were favorable. In view of facts it was useless to contain artificial infection of the insect
After the experiment's farmers were advised of varic chanical ways of preventing sects migration into their field none of these have been as as Professor Snow's theory p to be during the early 90's.

The other three sections will be divided between the book exchange, remaining virtually as it no wis, and the recreation room and fountain. The book exchange will have a new system of stacks running east and west.
(Continued from page one)
The new fountain, on which the architects have been spending much of their time, will be at the north side of the building where the women's recreation room and offices of the Jayhawker, Camera club, Y.M.C.A., and Operating committee are now located.
A large, double glass door will open from the west into the cafe, which will be 36 feet wide by 53 feet long. Circular booths will mark off the four corners of the room, with a new bar almost all the way across the west wall.
Along the south will stand eight regular booths and along the north will be seven semi-circular booths. Three rows of booths in the middle of the room make 42 in all.
New Heating System
The recreation room will take up the space now occupied by the men's pool room, the east-west hallway, and some additional space to the east of the present recreation room. It will be 35 feet wide by 86 feet long.
Part of the south wall will be torn out and glass bricks put in to give plenty of light to the rendezvous. Present plans call for four pool tables in the center, with two ping pong table flanking at each end. Six card tables will be arranged in out of the way nooks.
Fluorescent lighting in both the walls and ceiling will be used throughout, and heat will be furnished by hot air ducts rather than the steam radiators that are now used. By using the hot air ducts, Werner explained, it will be possible to install rather easily an air conditioning system. However, this will not be done at present.
The architects believe that the work can be nearly finished on the new fountain and recreation room before they tear into the present cafe, thereby allowing it to remain in use during the summer term.
The entire project will be completed by next September, it is believed.

Three University of Kansas students are among 40 top-ranking college graduates who on June 1 will finish a year of practical experience as trainees of the federal government. Lawrence Preston Birney, c'29, Eldon Blake Smith, c'39, and Donald Anders Hansen, l'38, are members of this year's group.
Clarence Senior, '23, has been selected as visiting and special lecturer at the University of Kansas City next year, it was announced from the department of sociology office today.
These trainees, for whom the name "government interns" has been adopted, were brought to Washington, D.C., by the National Institute of Public Affairs. Inagurated in 1934, the National Institute's program is designed to give students interested in government the opportunity to see Uncle Sam at work.
Mr. Senior will present a series of lectures on cultural relations with Mexico. For the past few years he has been a member of the Committee on Cultural Relations with Latin America, and in this capacity he has engaged in cooperative work with Mexico.

Allied Guns Pound Gap
Plot On Trotzky Foiled
Mexico City, May 24,—(UP) A band of 20 unidentified gunmen in a swift 4 am. raid poured machine gun fire into Leon Trotzky's bedroom today in an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate him.
One guard, Archie Sheldon, was kidnaped by the raiders, all of whom were described as speaking Spanish. Sheldon was the object of a widespread police search.
Trotzky and his wife, who were unhurt, rolled from their bed and lay on the floor while gunfire rattled at their suburban coyoacan villa for nearly 15 minutes.
In a statement Trotzky said that the dawn attack "Was organized by the GPU (Soviet Secret Police) under the direct supervision of Stalin himself."
"Nothing else is possible because of the character of the assault," Trotzky said. He said that no blame could be attached to Mexican political groups because he had no enemies among them.
One of Trotzky's guards said that in addition to using machine guns against Trotzky the raiders carried a thermos bottle filled with incendiary liquid which they tossed into the Trotzky home.
Trotzky said it might be "natural that some Mexican communists participated in the affair but the raid itself was engineered by Russian communists."
German Iron Ring—
(Continued from page one) squeezed ever more tightly and all Allied counter-blows have been repulsed.
The German claims included
1. A break through the Scheldt river front (held largely by the British) in Belgium to the western bank of the Lys river, which joins the Scheldt at Ghent. Street fighting was reported in Ghent and the German advance was described as again threatening to take the Allied forces in the rear.
Later official reports said German troops were advancing into the city of Ghent.
2. Capture of the Belgian town of Tourain, only 12 miles from the big French textile city of Lille, and occupation of Maubeuge, on the French frontier, where Allied forts now behind the main lines were taken.
Menace To Boulogne
Huge Underground City Lies Beneath Berlin
3. A German thrust through the Arras sector to capture Loretto heights, northwest of the French town, and permit armored units to smash on toward the channel ports of Calais and Dunkirk. This thrust, if successful, would not only flank the Allies fighting at Boulogne but would reduce by about half the
Berlin, May 24—(UP)A vast underground city-large enough to shelter 2,500,000 people and complete with operating rooms, police stations and food warehouseshas been built secretly under the German capitol, it was revealed today.
Some of the passages, built under canals and under the Spree river lead to wooded suburbs where Berliners would be comparatively safe from air bombing.
secretly under the management of it.
It is a network of miles of subterranean passages that lead to air raid shelters, and is linked at key points with the City's subway system, it is said. □
These modern catacombs, designed to permit life as normal as possible during an air raid, were built with the utmost secrecy and many people here do not realize that their homes and gardens rest above the passages.
All the average person knew of the underground system was that shelters were being provided under all new buildings as they were built.
The vastness of the system was a surprise. Hospital clinics complete with modern operating rooms are said to be the equivalent of three stories underground. Elevators are in place to bring the patients quickly to the clinics.
The underground city has its own power plant and a pump system for the utilization of artesian wells in case the main water pipes are cut.
Three Cities--area of the trap drawn around the Allied armies. Nazis said.
There are several radio sending sets at various points and police stations are fully equipped to maintain order during air raids. Large storage rooms contain hundreds of thousands of gas masks.
(Continued from page one) with seventeen scheduled to graduate in June. This will leave 52 on the campus when school opens in September if all complete their requirements to maintain the scholarship.
The scholarships are the gift of Solon E. Summerfield, a New York manufacturer and graduate of the University, who in 1929 set aside $5,-000 for that year, $10,000 for the next year, 15,000 for the next, and $20,-000 annually thereafter to enable Kansas high school seniors of superior ability and excellent character to attend the University.
The scholarships, which are administered by the Endowment association, insure a college course free of financial worry to superior students. The exact stipend in each case is governed by the needs of the student and the course of study which he is taking.
The University commencement week will be put on the air five times this year as programs ranging from one-half hour to a full hour in length portray various events of commencement week over the University's station, KFKU.
4. Destruction of 49 Allied airplanes, 56 Allied tanks (replaced in an attempt to break out of the trap), six loaded transports in the English channel and damage to a warship, probably a cruiser, and three destroyers by aerial bombardment.
Thirteen Seek Manager Post
Thirteen men have applied for Varsity Dance manager for next year, it was announced this morning by Henry Werner, men students' adviser. Yesterday was the deadline for applications.
In accord with the plan approved by the M.S.C. at its final meeting, last Monday, the selection is to be made by a committee of five, two representatives from the M.S.C. (one from each party), two from the W.S.G.A., and Mr. Werner. This system must be approved by the W.S.G.A., however, before it becomes official. The women's council meets next Tuesday.*
Fred Littooy, l'41, who held the office this year, is still eligible, and has applied again.
German Units Pour Through Lines at Arras
Notice To N.Y.A. Students
All N.Y.A. students are requested to leave their summer addresses at the office as soon as possible, it was announced today.
Paris, May 24—(UP)—New German mechanized and motorized units are driving northward toward the Channel ports through the Somme-arras gap in the Allied lines under a terrible rain of fire from Allied heavy guns and airplanes, a military informant said today.
The entire gap between the Allied army of the north, withdrawing from Belgium, and the main French army, the army of the south, was now under a violent Allied bombardment by Allied artillery and airplanes it was asserted.
Nevertheless, the military informant said, the Germans persisted in a desperate race through the Somme-Arras gap in an attempt to reinforce their men on the coast.
It was said that the detachments were small and that many of their units had been destroyed.
The general situation in the Boulogne and Channel port areas generally was confused because of numerous running fights between German detachments and Allied forces, the military informant said.
The progress of German detachments toward the Channel was described rather as an escape through the Allied fire than an advance in force.
The Allies, it was said, had now
reduced from 35 to 25 miles the between their armies between Somme at the Arras area after ting Arras and extending their f to the Arras-Bapaume road.
Heavy fighting continued in Valenciennes-Cambrai region or Escaut river, the military spokesman said, and the Allies had with local successes and failed alike. The general situation had maledied unchanged throughout night, he said.

Fear Secret Weapon
By United Press
Germany's war machine drove relentlessly forward in northern France and Belgium Saturday night and military quarters in Berlin said the long promised blitzkrieg against Great Britain would be launched in "the very near future" with an "absolutely secret weapon."
Is the battle raged, it was announced in Paris that 15 French generals had been removed from their command.
The Nazis claim to be consolidated at their bases on the English channel for their thrust at Great Britain and to be engaged in the final stages of a series of operations designed to destroy bit by bit some one million British, French, and Belgian troops cut off from the main army, corridor.
The French on the other hand claim that the Allies were steadily shrinking that corridor with a view to cutting the Germans on the coast off from their supplies and then driving them into the sea.
The Germans had reported notable successes in the early stages of the blitzkrieg which started May 10, weed that they had still another unprecedented engine of destruction for use against Great Britain, one from which the "greatest surprise can be expected."
The secret was so closely guarded that there was no inking as to whether the new weapon operates by

Songsters Compete Today
The glee clubs will compete for a new plaque this year which must be won three consecutive years to become a permanent mantel decoration. The prize of $5 which was offered for the best job done on the song Fred Waring wrote for the University will not be tried for because of the song's great range.
Greek canaries will sound their A's this afternoon at 4 o'clock when the annual University Inter-Fraternity sing takes place in Hoch auditorium. The event has been won five times out of six by the glee club of Phi Delta Theta.
The second and third place glee clubs will receive cups as has been the custom in past years.
Prof. Allen Crafton of the department of speech and dramatic art will be master of ceremonies for the fourth consecutive year. He will announce the competing clubs and the results. Vernon Landon, fa'40, chairman of the sing, will present awards to the winning clubs.
Last year Sigma Nu took second place honors and Delta Tau Delta and Delta Upsilon tied for third.
The sing was originated in 1934 by Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity. Fraternities who will compete include Phi Deita Theta, Sigma Chi, Delta Upsilon, Delta Tau Delta, and Beta Theta Pi. Judges for the competition will be Oliver Hobbs, director of instrumental music at Liberty Memorial High School, Louis Maser, *39*, music teacher from Pleasant Hill, Mo., and E. Thayer Gaston, instructor and student of music at the University.
Weather
Campus Not in Dither Over War, Poll Shows
Fair and warmer, today and tomorrow.
That campus opinion favors the Allies is further shown by the fact
Senators can rant about "fifth columns" and professors can tear their hair over fancied Nazi rule of the world, but University students have not yet been swept up in the torrent of war hysteria.
The poll further revealed that 85 per cent of the Jayhawkers hope the Allies win, but only 47 per cent of them feel the democracies will act that 40 per cent of those asked, felt Thursday).
At least these are the findings of a War Attitudes Poll conducted, Thursday, as a study in psychology of attitudes by Charley Johnson, c-40.
The results of the survey, which attempted to get a cross section of Hill opinion, reveal that of 393 students questioned, only three, less than one-half of one per cent, answered "yes", to the question, "Should the United States declare war on Germany now, to help the democracies, and for our own protection?"
that 40 per cent of those asked, fell we should extend credit to England and France if they need it, and 48 per cent fear that if Germany wins this conflict, the peace of the United States will be threatened.
Eighty per cent feel that the United States is being subjected to extensive propaganda, but as to which side is the worse offender, there is some disagreement. Fifty-two per cent feel that the Allies give out the most reliable information; twenty-one per cent would rather believe Hitler; and 27 per cent of the students are so dubious that they can believe dispatches from neither source.
One of the most definite trends of the poll, Johnson said, is the prevalence of the propaganda-shy attitude.
One hundred and eighty seven students, or 48 per cent, said their attitude toward Germany had become more unfavorable in the last three months, most of them citing the invasion of Holland and Belgium or the

More than 50 juniors of the University R.O.T.C. are preparing to attend summer training camps, a part of the requirement of graduation as a reserve officer.
The camp training is the practical side of the work done here on the Hill. Aside from drill, there is dancing, swimming, and various outdoor sports to provide the boys with recreation. For the six weeks
Twenty-seven members of the infantry unit will encamp at Ft. Leaeworth, while 23 coast artillery corps men will go to Ft. Sheridan, Ill. Ray Stanclift, e41, will go to the chemical warfare R.O.T.C. camp at Edgewood Arsenal, Md.

Lay Birthday Plans for 1941 Commencement
Bridge Game Goes on Air Monday Night
The "Battle of the Sexes" is on again tomorrow night as a girls' foursome from the University of Wisconsin attempts to defeat this University's male quartet in a bridge match by short wave radio.
The Kansas half of the bridge tournament will be held in the Union Lounge, while the Wisconsin team will play in a dormitory radio room there. The operators will attempt to make contact about 6:30 p.m. so that play may begin by 7 p.m.
Plays will be transmitted by Morse code from the University of Wisconsin to the Union Lounge 700 miles apart where the hands will be completed by the Kansas players. These plays will then be radioed to the home of Ed Price, e'42, through the use of a portable transmitter operated by Don Nigg, e'43. Price will complete the circuit by sending each new play back to Wisconsin.
It is estimated that playing time for the match will be about three hours. Twelve ret hands have been selected by Winford Ferry, c'40, director of University intramural activities, and Flora Dexter. Wisconsin director, so that both teams will be playing identical hands simultaneously. Corresponding couples will be opponents.
Players for both the Wisconsin and Kansas teams were chosen by a series of elimination matches held during the year. Members of the Kansas team are LeRoy Fugitt, gr, and Russell Elledge, e41, winners of the spring bridge tournament,
By Ed Garich, c'41
The University will complete it's seventy-fifth birthday celebration next year with a gala festival during the 1941 commencement and immediately before. The celebration will consist of University-wide displays of exhibits and demonstrations, objects of historical interest, and many significant productions of faculty and alumni. Tableaux and pageants depicting the dramatic episodes of the University's history will be given a place, along with radio programs, dinners, and addresses.
The operating committee of the festival was selected Friday. Prof. T. H. Marshall, head of the department of chemical engineering, has been appointed chairman of the committee by Chancellor Malott, on the recommendation of U. G. Mitchell, general chairman of the two-year celebration. Members of his committee are Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts, Prof. Bert Nash of the School of Education, Prof. Leonard Axe of the School of Business, Fred S. Montgomery, head of the visual education bureau of the extension division, Ray T. Wright, Lawrence business man, and Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary.
the objectives of the celebration, as outlined by the committee, are:
1. To do honor to the persons, within and without the walls of the University, who have made major contributions toward its upbuilding.
3. To bring about the return of a large number of alumni to the campus.
2. To give impetus to the cause of education.
4. To show the service of the University to the state.

Plan for Five Broadcasts Of Commencement Programs
The University commencement week will be put on the air five times this year as programs ranging from one-half hour to a full hour in length portrait various events of commencement week over the University's station, KFKU.
Both the commencement and the baccalaureate services will be broadcast for a full hour directly from the stadium, or, in case of bad weather from Hoch auditorium, Miss Mildred Seaman, head of the commencement committee on radio broadcasting, said today. The baccalaureate service will go on the air at 7:30 p.m.
The first of the programs to be broadcast this year will be a dramatic sketch which will honor the five class reunions being held here this commencement week. The sketch, which is now being prepared by Allen Crafton, chairman of the department of speech and dramatic art at the University, will honor the Senior Alumni group reunion, the class of 1890, the fortieth meeting of the '00 group, the class of '15 and the ten year reunion for the class of '30.
Sunday, June 9. and the commencement exercises will be broadcast at the same time the following evening.
The final program of the week will be an alumni interview by Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association. Ellsworth will interview about ten returning alumni during the 30 minute broadcast Monday evening from 9:45 to 10:15 p.m.
Monday afternoon, June 10, Russell L. Wiley, director of the University band, will present the Symphony orchestra in a half hour program dedicated to those alumni who did not get back to commencement week. The program will go on the air at 2:30 o'clock.

Campus picnickers have definite ydecided that the odds are against them, and if they are ever to have perfect days for outings and steakfrys, they will have to catch the weather man napping.

Mrs. Ramage Named Teke Housemother
Mrs. Edna F. Ramage of Kansas City has been named housemother for the newly formed Tau Kappa Epsilon social fraternity and approved by the administration, it was announced yesterday by Joe Moseley, c'41, president.
Mrs. Ramage has had two children here at the University in recent years. Her son, Lieutenant E. Miles Ramage, was a member of the class of '37, and her daughter, Margaret Ramage, was graduated in '38.
She is a past president of the Mothers' Circle of the Kansas City chapter of DeMolay. Last summer she attended a training school for housemothers at Purdue University.

Pre-Marital Tests Show Cupid Afraid of June
HARRISBURG, Pa.—(UP)—June, traditional "rush month" for Dan Cupid—may be just another month in Pennsylvania for the little heart-blender.
The reason, it appears, is that the Keystone State's new premarital medical examination law became operative May 17. The law, passed b bythe 1939 legislature, provides that persons wishing to be married must first present a physician's certificate showing they are free of syphilis in
Marriage license bureaus in the commonwealth's 67 counties did a land-office business during April. In Philadelphia, alone, the number of marriage licenses issued totaled 1,517, an increase of 354 over the previous month and 360 more licenses than were granted during April, 1939.
It was believed the upward trend prior to the effective date of the law was caused by persons with a somewhat confused idea of what the new
act provides. Some couples, it was believed, advanced their marriage plans rather than submit to the pre-marital tests.
The decrease in marriage licenses in Pennsylvania is no exception among states enacting pre-marital test laws.
Marriage licenses declined 20 per cent in New Jersey during the first half-year of the pre-marital tests in that state. In Oregon, slightly more than 400 licenses were issued during the first three months of operation of the law.
Data and Ideas Not Given Out By Travel Bureaus What To Wear If You Go Vacationing
If you plan to spend most of the time in the saddle, levis or blue jeans worn with plaid wool shirts are best. A bandana scarf, ten-gallon hat, and Western boots complete the outfit, which can also be worn for camping trips and hikes into the mountains.
Whether you are seeing the National parks, dude ranching, or just taking to the country for your summer vacation, you'll need some information that the travel bureaus never put in their descriptive literature—what to wear.
Dining and dancing at hotels and lodges calls for formal clothes, and new summer formal dresses are gay and spirited. Combining white pique and sharkskin with stripes or huge floral prints, many designers favor the voluminous skirt and bare midriff. Hooded jackets are destined to become more popular, being worn with formals, afternoon dresses, and play clothes.
Scaling cliffs and fishing in pine-fringed lakes and mountain streams are better sports if the outfit you are
wearing is sturdy and practical. A wool garabardine slack suit with a broad shouldered jacket of matching tweed is appealing and wearable.
A favorite traveling companion will be one of those handy kits that looks like a knapsack, and carries
everything you need from suntan oil and medicated bandages to your guidebook and lunch.
Clothes that you will wear en route in the automobile or on the train are preferably of jersey or seersucker, because they resist wiling and do not require pressing after they have been unpacked. A whipcord topcoat of room dimensions with saddle-bag pockets is another essential, and it can be a match-mate with all your resort togs.
The Kansas Highway Patrol urges that you drive with care each and every day—don't court traffic courts.

By Tom Higgins, b'40
As usual, this team will not meet with the approval of all who read it, but it was picked mainly by the referees that watched the games carefully from behind the plate, and on the field. Their opinion should be better than the writer's, because they come into more close contact with the members of more teams Third Year For Brennheisen
By unanimous vote Leo Brennheisen, Sig Alph, was chosen the best catcher in the league, for the third straight year, and this gives him the captaincy of this mythical team. Leo is one of the smartest players in the league and also a good all-around player. His only competitors for the top spot, were way below him in generalship and play.
Great difference of opinion was expressed in the chosing of the best man for the first base position. Stoland, Meade and Ewers all were well liked, and for awhile it was thought it would be necessary to pick all of them until we took into consideration the batting and fielding percentages of each, then the results placed Stoland on the first team and Meade on the second squad.
Dick Pierce at Second
Dick Pierce, of the Beta clan, was the best second baseman in the league for the whole season but if it had not been for a leg injury, Don Powell, Phi Psi, would have been right in the running for this spot.
Johnny Krum held down the whole left side of the Phi Psi team, besides being one of the most consistent and hardest hitters in the league. Johnny played errorless ball all season and stopped many a rally with his miraculous catches.
Harp Best Short Stop
Dick Harp with his speed and throwing arm, is the class of a fine group of short stops. He has led the Sig Alphs in batting in several of the games, and always seems to come through when the chips are really down.
In my opinion, this is as strong an infield as you could pick from the league players, and if they were all
In the outfield, we made several changes of players, from their regular positions, to add power and stability to the team. Lonnecker and Johnson were both short fielders in the regular season, but could handle these positions equally as well and with their throwing arms and their agility, a fly ball would have a hard time getting away from them. Voran was a first baseman, but because he is such a power at the bat, that we didn't see how we could leave him off our team. He has a natural ability and uses it to the greatest advantage.
gathered together on one team, it would be a hard bunch to beat. Change A Few Positions
In the right shortstop, or short field position, we put Bowlby, because he is the fastest and smartest of any if the outfielders and also a danger-

Hogben Wins Softball Cup From Alph's
Beta Theta Pi is the new champion of the intramural softball league. They defeated the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team Friday, by the very narrow margin of 2 to 1. In winning this title, they came closer than ever to cinching the sweepstakes cup.
All of the scoring was done in the first inning of the ballgame. Beta led off by scoring two runs on a triple by Hogben, and a wild pitch by Hall. Weinecke was on base on Hogben's blow and came in standing up and then Hogben raced home a minute later with what proved to be the winning tally.
Alph's Fill Bases
In the Sig Alph half of the inning they were able to score one run and fill the bases, but from that point Hogben set them down in easy fashion. Amerine, batting .633 for the series until yesterday, was not able to bring in the men that were on base in that inning and it cost the Alph's the game.
In the third, the Alph's were able to get men on second and third, but again Hogben buckled down to the task and no scores were let across. This time it was Harp that failed to come through.
Many Disputed Plays
There were several disputed plays, and on one that kept a run from being scored, the consensus of opinion of the many fans was that the ruling was wrong, but that is baseball, and it would be a dull game if there wasn't any difference of opinion.
This is the second time that the Beta's have beaten the Alph's this year. The earlier game was more free-scoring and the result was 8-6.
Play was very good throughout the game, and it took the fielders and infield to make the outs, as there were only three strikeouts in the entire game. After the first inning, neither team allowed the other to score and in most innings, there were only three or four men at bat, this shows how few hits there were.
Bud Morris Leads Freshman Golfers
Bud Morris won medalist honors yesterday at the Country Club links with a score of 162 for 36 holes as eleven freshmen toured the course in quest of the four or five numerals which will be awarded by Coach William H. Shannon.
Other competitors and their scores were: Jack Hall, 164; Jack Wilson, 175; Bob Kirk, 183; Earl Olson, 186; Glenn Dunne, 187; Fred Gades, 193; Bob Weaver, 194; Dan McKay, 194; Scott Hookins, 185; and Howard Babcock, 200.
Jayhawks Win In Extra Innings
Ames, Iowa, May 25—(Special) Henry Horak, diminutive Jayhawk southpaw, and his Kansas teammates ended a dreary Big Six baseball season in a blaze of glory here this afternoon as they battled through fourteen gruelling innings with the Iowa State Cyclones and finally came out on top 3 to 2 in the first game of today's double header.
The Cyclonas bounced back to salvage the second game from "Red" Dugan, Kansas right hander, by a score of 5 to 3.
Although the first contest was scheduled for only seven innings, the opposing nines had to travel twice the distance before the Jayhawks pushed the winning run
across the plate in the first half of the fourteenth. The Cyclones had sent the game into extra innings by tieing the count at 2 to 2 in the last half of the seventh inning.
In the second game of the afternoon, the Cyclones fell on "Red" Dugan for four runs in the fourth inning to untie a 1 to 1 knot which had existed since the first frame. The Jayhawks rallied in the fifth, but were halted two runs shook of a tie.
Leon Wilson, ace of the Cyclone pitching staff, chalked up his second victory this spring over the Jayhawks as he outpitched Jack Sands, Kansas hurler and first baseman in the first game of the series Friday afternoon and scored the run which Gave Iowa State a 2 to 1 decision in the last half of the twelfth inning.

The Germans said they had captured Boulogne, on the channel and in Belgium Ghent, and Courtai and encircled ancient Calais. Across from Dover they claimed to have driven great wedges in the Allies' northern line to effect the destruction of the British expeditionary forces, the 1st, 7th and 9th French armies and two Belgian divisions.

The French told a different story; admitted German mechanized units were still driving through the corridor, but one source said they had squeezed that avenue to the channel to a width of only 12 miles at a point where it was nearly 30 miles wide. A juncture between the northern and southern allied army would make the position of Germany on the coast perilous. Heavy artillery was reported pouring tons of high explosive shells into the German-held corridor.

Plenty of Good Pitchers
There were just too many good pitchers in the league to try to say one was the best and on down the line. To get around this, we have chosen the four hurlers that are in my opinion, the top rankers and you can complete the team by using whichever one you think is the best.
Hall and his fast ball have been fooling every team this year except the Beta's, and he has earned the title of "strikeout king" during the season. Hogben, the other pitcher in the finals, has not been defeated, and though he has been in trouble many times, he seems to work best when he is under pressure. Hocevar Still Good
Hocevar Still Good
John Hocevar, handicapped by a rather weak team this year, is still the old fireball hurler, that he was, when his team was up among the best. John has control, that is the best in the league and still can keep up with the best of them in speed.
Bob Allen, the last of my hurling staff, has only pitched a partial season, but in that short time, he has shown a control and speed that wins him a spot on this team of stars.
This finishes up my first team and though I know you,could substitute many of the men on the second team, the honorable mention, or other-

A Man's Man
With all the rest of the Republican presidential hopefuls fading cut like last year's tea towels, Wendell Wilkie stands out as an opponent capable of taking care of himself against Roosevelt and his New Deal janizaries.
Wilkie is a businessman and he's proud of it. He isn't like these other namby-pamby politicians who have been whining for Roosevelt to save democracy and the Republican party by not running for the presidency. This 48-year-old, two-fisted executive is ready and willing for the New Deal chieftain to run against him should he be nominated. "Let him run and I'll whip his pants off" is Wilkie's battle cry. It's the same attitude that made his business a success—something Roosevelt can't say without sticking his tongue in his cheek.
In his Kansas City speech Friday night, Wilkie brought out something that a frightened electorate seems to have overlooked: that an adequate defense plan can be had only when capital begins flowing into those industries where the implements of war are made. Roosevelt hasn't been able in seven years to make capital flow anywhere but into thin air. He has gone out of his way to show how he distrusts industrialists and businessmen — the sentiment is mutual, of course. Anyone will admit that there must be a re-approachment between industry and the government—Roosevelt can't and won't achieve this. Wilkie could.
Wilkie has as much personality and sincerity as Roosevelt. His radio voice is pleasant and he could match wise-cracks with the fire-side spieler any night. More, he has something which Roosevelt obviously hasn't; something to which the people, in the next few months, are going to attach a high premium—the ability to get things done and not just talk about them.
How sweet it would be never to hear that "My friends . . . ." again! Just the pleasant news of a chief executive getting something done for his country.

Time Marches On
Perhaps at no time in the history of our generation has the importance of news coverage been more real than at this hour. Journalism has become a vital industry.
With the speed of light, around the world experts in the art of news-gathering supply the raw food hour by hour. Trained editors mix the ingredients, add a touch of salt here, and provide a well-balanced words-pictures diet, delectable or awful, depending on your taste. But always the food is fresh, the menu is vital.
This week marks the end of a spring series of stories run as advertisements every two weeks in the University Daily Kansan, in which the editors of TIME, the weekly newsmagazine, hoped "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."
The spring series has told the stories of: the reporter who scooped the world in Norway during this world war; Huey Long's dynasty and how a newspaper insured its death; the country town editor; the world-wide press associations; the "man in the slot"; and Thursday, the story of the White House press conference.
Reception of these advertisements has been enthusiastic among students and members of the faculty at the University. In bound volume form they provide a convenient document of today's and yesterday's journalism industry.
Students and faculty members who have not made reservations for their free copies may do so by calling KU 66, or by making application in person at the editorial or business offices of the DAILY KANSAN.

Class of '40 Parallels Group of 21 Years Ago
Twenty-one years ago in June graduating seniors of the University, the first class to emerge into a world of peace in four years, heard words to which a parallel might be struck on the tenth of next month, at the sixty-eighth annual Commencement program. For another war has begun to redden the soil of Europe, and more precarious becomes the position of those who leave college.
Dr. Giddings cited the dangers in
the social contagion of subversive elements brought about by mass, rather than individual thinking. He urged the graduating class to resort always to individualism if they would preserve the right to achieve.
On that day, June 13, 1919, Dr. Franklin Henry Giddings, of Columbia University, gave the commencement address. In it he pointed out how human progress was the product of individual minds and not of the mass mind. Quoting from an article on his speech which appeared in the Daily Kansan, he said, "Nothing could be more wild or more false than the doctrine, now preached throughout the world, that the only way to remedy injustice and extend full and economic opportunity to all mankind lies through the destruction of a social order that has slowly been built up by the thought and toil of the civilized world."
In showing the effect of war on social progress, he said, "‘Añ an and V discontent has spread among the peoples and attained disquieting momentum. A social revolution has been proclaimed and a world stricken by war is threatened now with chaos. To this turmoil of revolt must be attributed many new attempts to limit achievement and obstinate denials of the right to achieve.'"
Hitler has seconded the attempt of ex-Kaiser Wilhelm to conquer Europe. Will this year's commencement speaker second the remarks of Dr. Giddings in 1913?

Some observers claim to have incurred a nationalistic trend in student sentiment, with active aid to the Allied cause being a popular opinion. Mt. Oread actually doesn't want to go to war, however. With finals approaching, the students are just becoming resigned to the lesser of two evils.
The strain of final week must leave a deep impression on some people. Ken Meuser, at least 10 years an alumnus, was a journalism press visitor today from Kingman, where he publishes the Courier. He confided to Schiller Shore that he often wakes at night in fits of trembling agony as he recalls semester examinations.
Speech instructor Rolla Nuckles is recovering satisfactorily from an appedectomy which his wife underwent at Lawrence Memorial hospital a week ago.

In Dr. Ed Elbel's community recreation class, the prof was discussing swimming pools. Doctor Elbel said he had an article on pools he'd been saving since last summer to read to the students.

The 1941 phase of the anniversary comes 75 years after the actual opening of the school. Previous programs have celebrated other occasions. A dinner in the fall of 1938 celebrated the seventy-fifth anniversary of the announcement of the location of the University at Lawrence. This program was broadcast over a national network.
The University was opened Sept. 12, 1866, with 45 students in attendance. Enrollment reached a total of 55 the first year. The total number of unrepeated names on the rolls of the University for the year 1939-40 is 5500.

Boiled to a Minute--- War Synopsis
"Nothing which may happen in this battle (in Flanders) can relieve us of our duty . . . nor should it destroy confidence in our power to make our way . . . by disaster and grief to the ultimate defeat of our enemy," Churchill declared in explaining how King Leopold of the Belgians surrendered and left the British and French armies in gravest peril on three fronts.
(BULLETIN)
BELGIUM—With surrender of King Leopold, Germans pour men and machines in shattering drive against trapped British-French forces, seeking to annihilate them or drive them into the sea.
London, May 28—(UP)—Prime Minister Winston Churchill told the House of Commons today that the British expeditionary force in France was fighting in "good heart and with utmost tenacity" against tremendous odds but that the nation must be prepared for "hard and heavy tidings" as a result of the capitulation of the Belgian army.
FRANCE—Premier Reynaud announces Leopold's surrender but declares the Allies will fight to the end and that their cause is not lost. Belgian parliamentarians repudiate King's surrender and seek to form new government to carry on war. Premier Hubert Pierlot prepares speech announcing that the Belgian army will fight on, but postpones making it at last minute.
GREAT BRITAIN—British sources believe at least part of Belgian army will fight on, but fear disaster to northern army, which either must make supreme and costly effort to join main French army in south, or attempt perilous withdrawal across channel. It is disclosed that British forces trapped in Boulgne already have been evacuated to England, es- (Continued on page seven)
As the Commons cheered Churchill's speech, British military experts said that it appeared that only an Allied counter-offensive from the south could save the trapped Allied armies in Flanders.

Surrender Opens Vital Left Flank For Nazi Forces
By Joe Alex Morris (UP)—Foreign News Editor
King Leopold surrendered the Belgian army to Adolf Hitler today at the peak of a mighty German offensive threatening imminent destruction of the Allied armies in Flanders.
In a broadcast to the French people, Premier Paul Raynaud, bitterly and contemptuously denounced the surrender and promised eventual victory despite the fact that the darkest days had come as a result of the Belgian capitulation which collapsed the vital left flank of the Allied front in the East and threw open to the German armies the path to the remaining channel ports.
Great Britain and France fought on. In London and Paris, leaders of the refugee Belgian government asserted that the order of their monarch for capitulation of 500,000 Belgian fighting men would be defied and that Belgians would stand beside the Allies.
In London, Prime Minister Winston Churchill went before the House of Commons for a statement of the Belgian collapse—bringing close the Nazi promise to invade England—and Minister of Information Alfred Duff Cooper told the
But nothing that had gone before struck with such stunning if not disastrous force at the Allied fighting front as the sudden action of the King, whose father—Albert of the Belgians—had towered as an heroic figure above the ruins of his country in the World War. ... Reynault Denouces Surrender

University To Graduate 67th Class
When the class of '40 walks down the Hill on Monday evening, June 10, the sixty-seventh chapter in the book of University of Kansas commencements will be written.
Since that time 21,112 men and women have received diplomas, and commencement exercises have moved from the Great Hall of the old University building, now known as Fraser theatre, to the stadium via Robinson gymnasium and a tent. First Commencement in '73
The impressive academic procession that has become a traditional rite in the commencement ceremonies of Mt. Oread will occur on the sixty-seventh anniversary of the baccalaureate services held for the first graduating class in 1873.
The first commencement was held on Tuesday evening, June 11, 1873, in the Great Hall of the University building, which was hastily opened for the event.
The speaker at this initial commencement was the Hon. John J. Ingals and diplomas were awarded to four graduates—one woman and three men. The distinction of being the smallest class in the history of the University belongs to the graduating class of the following year (1874). That year only three degrees were granted.
In the year 1885 the number of graduates reached the "astounding" number of 41 and one member of the class made news by departing from the subject assigned his oratorical genius on Commencement Day to

Static Bothers Play In Radio Bridge Tourney
The bridge tournament with the University of Wisconsin to be played by short wave radio struck another snag last night when weather conditions made it impossible to play the entire match.
Play began about 7 p.m. in the Memorial Union lounge but storms between here and Madison prevented the completion of the first hand until 8:30 p.m. Signals for each play had to be repeated several times. The portable transmitter which was to bake communication between the Memorial Union Lounge and the home of Ed Price, c'42, amateur operator who transmitted the plays to the Wisconsin operator, broke down and connection had to be made by telephone.
After the first hand the players moved to the home of Price where the second and third hands were completed. At the end of the third hand the Kansas team at the first table was down 120 points while the team at the second table finished the second hand 870 points to the good.
The remainder of the match will be played in the Memorial Union
Three Parties---lounge Wednesday night with play beginning about 7 p.m. Although the players were originally scheduled to play 12 hands, it has been decided to cut the number down to 8 so that the tournament may be completed Wednesday night.

Condemns Belgian King
Paris, May 28—(UP)—King Leopold surrendered the Belgian army to Germany today, threw open to advancing Nazi legions the road to more English channel ports and collapsed the vital left wing of trapped Allied armies fighting in the north against Adolf Hitler's blitzkrieg.
Paul Reynaud Determined To Fight On
The sudden and disastrous surrender came without consultation with Allied chieftains. It seemed to make the position of the encircled Allied troops in Flanders almost hopeless, but in contemptuous, bitter words Premium Paul Reynaud denounced King Leopold and promised that the French and British would fight on south of the Somme and Aisne rivers.
France will yet triumph, Reynaud declared.
The Belgian ports of Zeebrugge and Ostend and the French port of Dunkirk—all battered by thousands of Nazi air bombs—are now in the immediate path of the German offensive.
Outlook Grave for Trapped Allies Reynaud's radio statement, as well as authoritative explanations in London, indicated that the Allied forces would make no further attempt to hold their lines on Belgian territory and indicated the gravest outlook for the trapped Allied armies unless a real counter-offensive can be launched from the River Somme front.
But the refugee Belgian government leaders in Paris and London defied the surrender order issued by their King and promised that the fight would go on. After a meeting of Belgian parliament leaders here, a spokesman said: "We know the people of Belgium believe the King guilty of treason. What the country needs now is a man like his father, King Albert.
Reynaud Criticizes Young Monarch Reynaud, in his speech to the French people, bitterly criticized the surrender by the young Belgium monarch whose father, King Albert, had led the Belgium resistance throughout the World War.
Premier Hubert Pierlot of Belgium, prepared a speech for broadcast over the radio repudiating the King's action, but at the last moment cancelled the broadcast. Members of the refugee parliament said that there might be an early "change in the Belgium government."
"This is without precedent in history," the Premier said. "We knew dark days were coming. They have come. We will hold the Somme-Aisne line and because we hold it we will win.
"Our faith in victory is intact. We shall conquer."
He said Leopold surrendered against the unanimous advice of his cabinet and that the Belgium government would fight on in France.
Phi Delt's Win Fraternity Sing For Sixth Time
The Sing was begun in 1926, later was discontinued for a few years, and revived in 1934, since which time the Phi Delts have never been defeated for first honors. Because they have won it so consistently they were awarded a permanent achievement plaque Sunday, apart from the first-place award, by Vernon Landon, Ta'41, chairman of the contest. Silver cups were presented to the other place winners.
For the sixth consecutive year Phi Delta Theta took top honors in the annual Inter-fraternity Sing sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha, national music fraternity, held Sunday. The glee club sang "Beautiful Dreamer," and Marching Song of Phi Delta Theta, and the Alma Mater, directed by J. D. Ramsey, c'40.
Second place went to Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Chi won third. Only two other fraternities, Delta Upsilon and Beta Theta Pi, were entered this year, as compared with a total of seven which sang last spring.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic arts, served for the fifth straight year as master of ceremonies.
Negro 'Preacher' Admits Stealing Student's Camera
A young Negro "preacher" was interrupted from his theological studies at the city library last night when Lawrence police officers arrested him for the theft of a $20 camera from Snow hall.
The 21-year-old youth was Scott Hannah. Professing to be a minister, he readily admitted the theft of the camera from room 303, Snow hall, about three weeks ago. The camera, the property of Louis Lipovsky, c'40, was recovered recently from a local pawn shop.
Hannah was charged with petty larceny this morning in Justice of the' Peace court. He is now confined to the county jail.
Eight members of the class in midcontinent stratigraphy under the direction of Dr. R. C. Moore, professor of geology, returned yesterday from a two-day field trip into southern Kansas.
Topping the $200 quota by $35 the Red Cross drive for funds for the relief of war victims will close Wednesday, May 29, E. C. Buehler, chairman of the University committee, said today.

Fraternities May Aid A Norwegian Student
Seventeen Hill fraternities will support a Norwegian exchange student at the University next year, it was decided at a meeting of the men's pan-Hellenic meeting Sunday morning.
The council voted to accept Eilert Stoeren, one of a group of 55 Scandinavian exchange students who is stranded in the United States because of war conditions in Europe. The scholarship will be granted without a reciprocal arrangement for a University student to study in Norway.
University student to attend Stoeren will receive room and board at the Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta and Delta Chi fraternities during the year. He will live at each of the four fraternity houses, which were selected by a drawing at the council meeting Sunday, for a half semester. The council will pay the student's matriculation fees and $ ^{8} $
dent's matriculation fees and other University expenses.
Arrangements for the Norwegian student were made from G. H. Grueninger of DePauw university at Greencastle, Ind., general secretary of the Foreign Student Exchange of Fraternities. The exchange has in past years granted exchange scholarships for American university students and European students. Larry Winn, c'41, who brought the scholarship to the attention of the Pan-Hellenic council, wired Grueninger last night that the council had voted to accept Stoeren. Stoeren was advocated by Grueninger but it is not yet certain that he will be the one to attend the University next year.
Steoren, whose parents are residents of Norway and whose brother is in the Norwegian army, was an exchange student at DePauw university in 1393. He was graduated from Stanford university this spring with a B.A. degree.
Nine of the 17 fraternities on the Hill signified that they would like to have the scholar stay at their houses during the year.
Margaret Learned Heads Quack Club
Margaret Learned, c'42, and Margaret Whitehead, c'42, were elected president and secretary respectively of Quack Club, swimming organization, at a picnic breakfast meeting held Sunday morning at Clinton park.
Candidates for the offices were chosen by a nominating committee composed of this year's president, Mickie Learnard, ed'40; secretary, Barbara Owen, c'41; and Margaret Learned.
Guests at the Breakfast were Miss Ruth Hoover and Miss Joie Stapleton, assistant professors of physical education.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
---
Several times during the year, our attention has been brought to an Osborne county high school basketball player, who chalked up a basketball record this more season that is drawing the attention of college coaches throughout the country.
Last December, Max Kissell, a six-foot senior at Portis, wasn't drawing more than his usual share of attention being high point man on the Portis team. But as the season progressed, it became the exception rather than the rule for the 17-year old athlete to score less than 20 points in a game.
In the state regional tournament Concordia, Kissell had the spectators sitting on the edge of their seats while he scored field goals from any position on the floor. In one tournament game he scored a 60-foot field goal. Including the arc, the ball traveled about 75 feet, and after the game, high school coaches were going out of their way to meet this Portis boy.
Records from the past season show that Max scored 491 points in 24 games to average over 20 points per game. In his top eight games he average 30 points per game. Eddie Brietz, well-known New York sports columnist, referred to him recently as the highest scorer in the nation in high schools. Since this outstanding record, Kissell has received tempting offers for next year from coaches all over Kansas and other colleges outside of the state including the University of Southern California.
The grapevine news association has released rumors that head basketball coach, Jack Gardner, of Kansas State, really has his eye on this Portis boy.
ANY OLD DAY that a baseball club can win 11 straight games like the Kansas City Blues did lately, must have SAME ball team. In Saturday's game against the St. Paul Saints, Johnny Sturm, Blue's first baseman, made 21 put-outs himself. The American Association record is 27.
Michigan did it again, when they took the Big Ten outdoor track title last Saturday. The battle cry of the other Big Ten schools for the last few months had been "stop Michigan," but the other cinder teams could not seem to match strides with the Wolverines. Indiana was a poor second.
So Far, So Good. With 33 cars already qualified to race in the Indianapolis Speedway classic this Thursday, a few more drivers will attempt to qualify today for the grind. Already one driver has met death, and unless a miracle happens, others will feel the scythe of the famous old racing driver reach around their neck and make them join the other 35 drivers, mechanics, and spectators, that have been killed since the race started in 1911.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Kansas Nine Ends Season in Cellar
The Jayhawks returned from their final baseball road trip of the season, still holding tenaciously to the last place spot in the Big Six standings which has been theirs ever since the day in early May when they claimed it by dropping the second game of a doubleheader to their only serious rivals for the cellar—the Nebraska Cornhuskers
All was not darkness and despondency, however, as the Jayhawks packed away their bats and gloves for another year. In the first place, the Kansas nine had disputed all the way one of the three contests they played with the Iowa State Cyclones last week-end. Not only that, they had taken one game in fourteen innings, 3 to 2; extended the Cyclones to 12 innings before a second contest 2 to 1; and lost a third struggle by a score of 5 to 2. For almost the first and only time this year, the Kansas defense and pitching succeeded in finding days on which both departments functioned satisfactorily.
In the second place, nine of the Jayhawks who played regularly during most of the season will be back again next year. Monte Merkel will return to bolster the catching department. Infielders Larry Hensley, Bob Chilson, and Dorus Munsinger all have another year of competition as do outfielders Miller Cameron and Ramie Beims.
Knute Kresie, sophomore right hander, who should be one of the better pitchers in the Big Six next year, may head the hurling staff with "Red" Dugan and John Burdge giving him plenty of assistance. A severe loss to the inner works will be the departure of Jack Sands, veteran first baseman, who held the infield together all year and batted well over the 300 mark.
Larry Hensley, outfielder and second baseman, who will be wearing a Kansas uniform for the third season next spring, was elected captain of the team for 1941 following the last game with Iowa State at Ames.

By CECIL KING
The winning independent team exhibited good co-ordination and accuracy. Wanda Horosko was pitcher and Virginia Bell was catcher to make up a star battery. Third baseman Evelyn Herriman, left fielder Marjorie Rader, and first baseman Barbara Lingenfelter played an outstanding game.
Officially called in the fourth inning because of rain, the winning class teams game between the freshmen and the seniors was decided in favor of the freshmen 10-9 yesterday afternoon.
On the organized house team Lenora Grizzle was the pitcher and Phyllis Struble was the catcher. Alta Bingham played well on first base.
Because of "virus" disease, Buenos Aires province, Argentina, is losing some of its potatoes.
The 10 freshmen runs were all scored in the last half of the fourth inning when the senior fielders blew up.

Condemns Belgian King
Paul Reynaud Determined To Fight On
Paris, May 28—(UP)—King Leopold surrendered the Belgian army to Germany today, threw open to advancing Nazi legions the road to more English channel ports and collapsed the vital left wing of trapped Allied armies fighting in the north against Adolf Hitler's blitzkrieg.
The sudden and disastrous surrender came without consultation with Allied chieftains. It seemed to make the position of the encircled Allied troops in Flanders almost hopeless, but in contemptuous, bitter words Premier Paul Reynaud denounced King Leopold and promised that the French and British would fight on south of the Somme and Aisne rivers.
France will yet triumph, Reynaud declared.
The Belgian ports of Zeeebrugge and Ostend and the French port of Dunkirk—all battered by thousands of Nazi air bombs—are now in the immediate path of the German offensive.
Outlook Grave for Trapped Allies
Reynaud's radio statement, as well as authoritative explanations in London, indicated that the Allied forces would make no further attempt to hold their lines on Belgian territory and indicated the gravest outlook for the trapped Allied armies unless a real counteroffensive can be launched from the River Somme front.
But the refugee Belgian government leaders in Paris and London defied the surrender order issued by their King and promised that the fight would go on. After a meeting of Belgian parliament leaders here, a spokesman said: "We know the people of Belgium believe the King guilty of treason. What the country needs now is a man like his father, King Albert.
Premier Hubert Pierlot of Belgium, prepared a speech for broadcast over the radio repudiating the King's action, but at the last moment cancelled the broadcast. Members of the refugee parliament said that there might be an early "change in the Belgium government."
Reynaud Criticizes Young Monarch Reynaud, in his speech to the French people, bitterly criticized the surrender by the young Belgium monarch whose father, King Albert, had led the Belgium resistance throughout the World War.
"This is without precedent in history," the Premier said. "We knew dark days were coming. They have come. We will hold the Somme-Aisne line and because we hold it we will win.
"Our faith in victory is intact We shall conquer."
He said Leopold surrendered against the unanimous advice of his cabinet and that the Belgium government would fight on in France
Phi Delt's Win Fraternity Sing For Sixth Time
For the sixth consecutive year Phi Delta Theta took top honors in the annual Inter-fraternity Sing sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha, national music fraternity, held Sunday. The club歌 sang "Beautiful Dreamer," and Marching Song of Phi Delta Theta, and the Alma Mater, directed by J. D. Ramsey, c'40.
Second place went to Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Chi won third. Only two other fraternities, Delta Upsilon and Beta Theta Pi, were entered this year, as compared with a total of seven which sang last spring.
The Sing was begun in 1926, later was discontinued for a few years, and revived in 1934, since which time the Phil Delts have never been defeated for first honors. Because they have won it so consistently they were awarded a permanent achievement plaque Sunday, apart from the first-place award, by Vernon Landon, Ta'41, chairman of the contest. Silver cups were presented to the other place winners.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic arts, served for the fifth straight year as master of ceremonies.
Negro 'Preacher' Admits Stealing Student's Camera
A young Negro "preacher" was interrupted from his theological studies at the city library last night when Lawrence police officers arrested him for the theft of a $20 camera from Snow hall.
The 21-year-old youth was Scott Hannah. Professing to be a minister, he readily admitted the theft of the camera from room 303, Snow hall, about three weeks ago. The camera, the property of Louis Lipovsky, c'40, was recovered recently from a local pawn shop.
Hannah was charged with petty larceny this morning in Justice of the' Peace court. He is now confined to the county jail.

Fraternities May Aid A Norwegian Student
Seventeen Hill fraternities will support a Norwegian exchange student at the University next year, it was decided at a meeting of the men's pan-Hellenic meeting Sunday morning.
The council voted to accept Eilert Stoeren, one of a group of 55 Scandinavian exchange students who is stranded in the United States because of war conditions in Europe. The scholarship will be granted without a reciprocal arrangement for a University student to study in Norway.
Stoeren will receive room and board at the Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta and Delta Chi fraternities during the year. He will live at each of the four fraternity houses, which were selected by a drawing at the council meeting Sunday, for a half semester. The council will pay the student matriculation fees. $ ^{a}$
dent's matriculation fees and other University expenses.
Arrangements for the Norwegian student were made through G. H. Grueninger of DePauw university at Greencastle, Ind., general secretary of the Foreign Student Exchange of Fraternities. The exchange has in past years granted exchange scholarships for American university students and European students. Larry Winn, c'41, who brought the scholarship to the attention of the Pan-Hellenic council, wired Grueninger last night that the council had voted to accept Stoenen. Stoenen was advocated by Grueninger but it is not yet certain that he will be the one to attend the University next year.
Stoenen, whose parents are residents of Norway and whose brother is in the Norwegian army, was an exchange student at DePauw university in 1839. He was graduated from Stanford university this spring with a B.A. degree.
Nine of the 17 fraternities on the Hill signified that they would like to have the scholar stay at their houses during the year.
Margaret Learned Heads Quack Club
Margaret Learned, c'42, and Margaret Whitehead, c'42, were elected president and secretary respectively of Quack Club, swimming organization, at a picnic breakfast meeting held Sunday morning at Clinton park.
Candidates for the offices were chosen by a nominating committee composed of this year's president, Mickie Learnard, ed'40; secretary, Barbara Owen, c'41; and Margaret Learned.
Guests at the Breakfast were Miss Ruth Hoover and Miss Joie Stapleton, assistant professors of physical education.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Several times during the year, our attention has been brought to an Osborne county high school basketball player, who chalked up a basketball record this more season that is drawing the attention of college coaches throughout the country.
In the state regional tournament Conecordia, Kissell had the spectators sitting on the edge of their seats while he scored field goals from any position on the floor. In one tournament game he scored a 60-foot field goal. Including the arc, the ball traveled about 75 feet, and after the game, high school coaches were going out of their way to meet this Portis boy.
Last December, Max Kissell, a six-foot senior at Portis, wasn't drawing more than his usual share of attention being high point man on the Portis team. But as the season progressed, it became the exception rather than the rule for the 17-year old athlete to score less than 20 points in a game.
Records from the past season show that Max scored 491 points in 24 games to average over 20 points per game. In his top eight games he average 30 points per game. Eddie Brietz, well-known New York sports columnist, referred to him recently as the highest scorer in the nation in high schools. Since this outstanding record, Kissell has received tempting offers for next year from coaches all over Kansas and other colleges outside of the state including the University of Southern California.
The grapevine news association has released rumors that head basketball coach, Jack Gardner, of Kansas State, really has his eye on this Portis boy.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
Aren't They Dumb?
Someday, one of these University officials, harried by complaints against rooming and apartment houses, is going to stop to ask himself why the complaints are seldom against sorority and fraternity houses. The answer is that the Greek houses have their own compulsory housing rules while the others do not.
Compulsory housing rules wouldn't mean that the students living in apartment or rooming houses would have to conform to reformatory school regulations. Rather, housing conditions would become a little more like they are in the students' homes. It's a rare home where the children are permitted to raise a hulabaloo all hours of the night. It wouldn't mean that the men would have to be in by any certain hour of the night. It would mean, however, that they would have to comport themselves as they might in the same home where their mother and father were living. What's wrong with that?
Right now, with the housing commission having about as much authority as a Belgian mayor, nothing can be done about the complaints. But if students were not permitted to live in houses that did not come up to the housing commission's standards, there would be far less calls in the night about riots in a neighboring house.
The compulsory housing rules could satisfy both the University's and the students' needs: there would be adequate lighting, sufficient hot water, clean rooms, proper ventilation and proper conduct. Prices on rooms would need to raise little if at all. The supply and the demand would remain virtually the same. About the only change that would be made would be in the quality of rooms.
Now a lot of students will raise their voices against an apparent regimentation. Nells bells! It isn't as much regimentation as they would get at home or in a fraternity house. They'd simply be foregoing the pleasure of burning their eyes out under bad lights, contracting a cough, going without hot water, etc., to save nothing. The students at the other schools throughout the United States haven't lost their human liberties or individuality from complying with compulsory housing. In fact it's about the only way the University and students can get what they both want.
The back-to-red-school-house advocates

The Illiterati
Those defenders of education's Alamo must prove that Harvard isn't every university. They must explain to countless newspapers, business men, and politicians that Conant never intended his words to be taken a face value. They must remember that Harvard's president neither said nor intended to say that most students do not write well or that all students are not capable of writing fairly well.
When James B. Conant, high potentate of Harvard University, reported that too many of his students "write worse and worse," he started something. Conant's account was widely publicized and widely misunderstood. Now educators everywhere must defend the modern system of education from an erroneous general belief which has emerged from a correct specific opinion.
should first investigate facts. The ministers for a return to the days of Thoreau should first sift the records. The Cato editorial writer for the New York Times will find that students were no more writers as a by-product in the past than now. He will discover from scientific survey that students, taken as a whole, are the same yesterday, today, and forever-some amazingly good, some unspeakably bad, and the vast majority marked with mediocrity. To his amazement, he will uncover the curricula of the old universities-logic, geometry, English, and Latin. He will be forced to admit that last century's average student rarely absorbed even these few courses past the passing level.
Present Conflict Brings Memories of 1917 Days
If the world persists in the belief that today's students are capable of little more than illiteracy, that same woll dmust chalk up a blackmark against all progress. Civilization must admit with the intelligent that expressing one's self in writing has been a complex operation since the first scratches were made on the cave walls of Dordogne. If the age honored correct and fluent every-day writing as it honors tennis, full pocketbooks, and contract bridge, students would actually do what educators credit them with the ability to do—write well.
By Bob Patterson, c'43
Our proximity to the war war emphasized May 14, when President Roosevelt asked for $1,182,000,000 to increase the national defense. It brings to mind the attitude of the students at the University at the time when the last Democratic president had to ask Congress to declare a state of war.
The files of the Daily Kansan indicate to some extent what we can expect in case the United States should go to war again. The people of the country had felt for some time that war was inevitable. Military companies were already in the process of formation when the formal dec-
formation when the formal declaration of war came on April 6, 1917.
Students Recruited
Recruiting of Company M of Kansas National Guard accelerated and a headquarters was established in the armory in Robinson gymnasium. The first three men to enlist in the company at the new quarters were: Guy Runyan, '20, Wichita, W. S. Riley, '19, Garnett, and Harold Jones, '19, Kansas City, Mo. The strength of the company was now 44 and the recruiting agents said that they
would remain there until the company was filled. One hundred fifty women had enrolled in the Red Cross and at the first meeting were addressed by Dr. Dorothy Child on "General Directions for Giving First Aid."
In an effort to get more men to enlist, the University announced that full credit would be given to those who were members of the Kansas National Guard or were going to enlist before the end of the semester. However; it was necessary that the

University---give the chancellor and several faculty members a verbal "roasting." Used a Tent Once
With the erection of Robinson gymnasium in 1906, commencement exercises were transferred to that building in order to accommodate the growing number of graduates and attendants. Then in 1923 the gymnasium was replaced by a tent.
This huge canvas structure was pitched in that area now occupied by the University baseball diamond, and the exercises were held at 10:30 a.m. This was the last of the morning commencements. The heat generating power of the combination of tent and Kansas sun led to a demand for cooler commencements and the following year saw the first procession from the Administration building to the stadium.
The class of '24 "walked down the Hill" and the University came to know the value of pageentry and to preserve it.
Belgium Gives Up--people by radio that the situation of the British expeditionary force in Flanders was one of "extreme gravity" but that "there is not the slightest reason for panic."
The British press assailed Leopold as "King Quisling"—in reference to the Norwegian pro-Nazi leader Vidkun Quisling who was charged with Trojan horse activities—and recalled that the Belgian monarch is a brother of the crown princess of Italy.
Allies' Fate Apparently Sealed
But it was in Berlin that the news of Leopold's action was a triumph that appeared to seal finally the fate of the Allied armies—now possibly only a half million fighting men—in the North. Now, the Nazis said, there is not the slightest
chance that these trapped armies can escape destruction at the hands of advancing Nazi forces unless they surrender.
the economist-general-admiral, "Ah yes, that's the country Italy took over." Somehow, that man has lost his standing in the community.
To make good the promise of destruction, the German High Command hurled more and more power into the attack in Flanders. The dread dive bombers blasted at Allied lines in increasing numbers, artillery poured them ceaselessly and—time after time—massed infantry charged over the bodies of their own dead in an effort to deliver the knock out blow.
British and French Fight On
The trapped British and French armies fought on and Generalissimo Maxime Weygand pressed a counter-offensive from the River Somme in an effort to break the German trap, but it seemed that nothing but a miracle could prevent the speedy wiping out of the British and French in Flanders unless they can evacuate by way of the channel ports still open but under heavy German aerial bombardment. That, the Germans said, the British were attempting to do.
The German bombardment of the channel carried over to the Kentish coast of England, where British airplanes and anti-aircraft artillery were in action over a long period. The British Air Ministry said that yesterday the Royal Air Force had destroyed or severely damaged 79 German airplanes.
But on the fighting front in Belgium and in Northern France the German armed forces were crashing swiftly ahead to the Belgian coast, clearing the Allied troops out of all Belgian territory and—according to a High Command communique—engaging in the climactic phase of the great battle of Flanders.

O'Neil Services Today
Former Regent Chairman Dies Saturday Night
Funeral services for Ralph T. "Dyke" O'Neil, member of the State Board of Regents and father of Bob O'Neil, c42, were held this afternoon at the First Presbyterian church in Topeka.
O'Neil died unexpectedly Saturday night in Wesley hospital, Wichita, following a stroke suffered while attending a dinner in his honor at the home of Eugene Stanley, his successor as bar association president.
He attended the University a short time in 1917. His son, Bob, participates in varsity athletics, playing end on the football team.
While "Dyke" O'Neil was widely known as a capable and successful practicing attorney he gained his greatest prominence as leader in
American Legion affairs and by his work in the ranks of the Democratic party.
He was national commander of the American Legion in 1930-31, and served in the World war as captain of the 11th United States infantry. During his 12 months as head of the Legion, the organization reached a membership of 1,000,000, the largest in its history.
C. W. HARRIS
Following the World war, O'Neil took up his law practice in Topeka. Governor Payne Ratner reappointed O'Neil on the State Board of Regents on Jan. 2 of this year, thus giving O'Neil his sixth appointment as a regent under four different governors. Gov. Harry Woodring first appointed him in 1931 for a two-year term. Gov. Alf. Landon reappointed him twice during his term as governor.
He became chairman of the Board following his second appointment by Huxman. The legislature of 1939 reorganized the Board of Regents, and Governor Ratner selected O'Neil to serve a term ending Dec. 31 last year, at the expiration of which Ratner again put him on the Board for a full term. He was born in Osage City, Aug.
Ralph T. O'Neil
8, 1888. Graduated from Baker University in 1909, he attracted considerable attention as an athlete. O'Neil attended Baker at the time Dr. "Phog" Allen was coaching there.
O'Neil became coach at Clay Center High School for one year before entering Harvard Law School where he was graduated in 1913.
O'Neil married Margaret Heizer, 17, after he returned from war service and began his law practice in Osage City. Shortly thereafter he was elected county attorney of Osage county.
Civic Leader
"Dyke" O'Neil was a member of Delta Tau Delta and Phi Alpha Delta fraternities, Acacia honorary fraternity, Elks lodge, Knights of Pythias, Topeka Chamber of Commerce, University Club, Topeka Country Club, Presbyterian church and the Masonic order.
Surviving him are his widow and two sons, Robert, c'42, and Ralph Jr., a senior in Topeka High School. Dr. Roy W. Zimmer read the funeral services, with burial in Mt. Hope cemetery. Capitol Post No. 1 of the American Legion conducted the services at the graveside.
R.O.T.C. Must Return Uniforms and Equipment
Col. K. F. Baldwin has made the announcement that no grades in the department of military science will be recorded until the uniform and other equipment belonging to the department has been checked in at the R.O.T.C. office.
Geologists Write Final on Field Trip
Eight members of the class in mid-continent stratigraphy under R. C. Moore, professor of geology, left Saturday morning for a two-day field trip to study limestone beds known to geologists as the Topeka formation.
They will follow the outcrop of the rocks from the Kansas river to the Oklahoma line, stopping at several places to study the formations, and collect fossils. They will go through Shawnee, Osage, Greenwood, Elk and Chautauqua counties.
Following the trip, the students will write a complete report on the Topeka formation from notes taken on this and two previous field trips. The report will take the place of the final examination for the class. Students taking the trip are Karl Becker, William Bramlette, James Clark, Russell Jeffords, Jacob Lemmons, R. F. Keroher, Earl Marshall, and Charles Williams, all graduate students.

CAA Student Flying Program Continues During Summer
84 Ready For New Course At Airport
Eighty-four students this morning had notified Prof. Earl D. Hay, director of the student flight training course, of their intention to enroll in the summer flight training course here and indications pointed to an enrollment that would overflow the tentative 100-student quota requested by C.A.A. officials last night.
Professor Hay last night received a call from Washington, D.C., requesting that he determine the number of students interested in enrolling for a summer course. He was asked to reply by 10 o'clock this morning.
Radio Helps Cause
Radio broadcasts were made over a local station and organized houses were called last night in an effort to learn the number interested. Government officials suggested that a convocation be held to notify students that a summer course would be offered, but the plan was discarded as being impractical with the start of final examinations today.
Professor Hay said he believed 150 students would apply for the summer course, although the number would be lessened by the strict medical examinations given appli-

University Club Seeks New Room In Union; May Give Up House
The University Club today announced definite intentions of moving from their present location at 1433 Ohio street into the Sunflower room of the Memorial Union building.
The club is negotiating with the Memorial Union operating committee in regard to renting the Sunflower room at $1,200 a year. The operating committee met yesterday afternoon and agreed that the following terms for the lease of 1,600 feet of floor space would be acceptable to the building:
"First, that the rental would be
"Second, that the Union would install a suitable floor, paint the walls, install proper electrical fixtures and provide light, heat and janitor service.
$1200 per annum.
"Thirdly, that the lease would expire at the end of two years with a renewal subject to the approval of both parties."
The Sunflower room is the floor space just west of the present cafeteria. The proposed location for the University club headquarters would be this space and a small addition which is now part of the cafeteria.
The proposal is still subject to the approval of the building committee of the University Club which will meet with the Union building committee within the next 10 days.
The entire floor space would total 1,600 feet.
J. D. Stranathan, chairman of the nUniversity Club committee, said that in all probability the club would accept the terms as offered by the Union building. Stranathan said said that the new location would provide a lounging room, club room, and a location for the club's social functions.
In its meeting yesterday, the operating committee also ruled that if the University Club undertook to accept the conditions as offered it was to be understood that there would be now curtailment of present students facilities and functions. The committee also ruled that beyond the proposed lease no further floor space in the building could be allotted to other than strictly student affairs.
The committee also voted to set aside the net rental from the proposed University Club lease as part of a special building fund.
German Push To Ostend
By Joe Alex Morris (UP) Foreign Editor
German troops drove forward on three sides today in an attempt to "seal the fate" of the Allied army of the north—400,-000 British and French soldiers fighting desperately with their backs to the English channel.
Tremendous pressure appeared to bring near a complete Nazi triumph in the Battle of Flanders. Berlin claimed capture of Ostend, Bruges, and Diximude, in Belgium, and the great French northern industrial center of Lille. There was still no indication of a major Allied counter-offensive.
British Take Narvik
One ray of good news flashed through to spark Allied morale. The British high command announced a seven weeks campaign above the Arctic Circle in Norway had been crowned with success in the capture of the iron ore port of Narvik.
But on the Northern Franco-Belgian front the Germans were striking for the kill. Aided by capitulation of the Belgians who had held the left flank, German forces slashed into the narrow Allied foothold along the sea and the high command asserted that the fate of the Army of the North had been sealed.
Hold Two Parts
Only two bomb-shattered explosion-wrecked ports remained in Allied control for the withdrawal of their troops from the German trap. These were Dunkirk, reported by the Germans to be under their artillery fire as well as air bombardment, and Zeebrugge, World War German submarine base.
How long the Allies could hold these ports was uncertain. The Germans were only 10 or 12 miles from Dunkirk and Zeebrugge. What once had been an Allied sector of hundreds of square miles today was only a strip of sandy coastline, about 40 miles long and hardly more than 15 miles wide at any point. By capturing Ostend, the Germans split the Allied territory in two.
The sector had been riddled by criss-crossing German columns, each one reducing the Allied territory until today there was little more left than bridgeheads at the last two ports of Dunkirk and Zeebrugge through which the desperate effort at evacuation was being made. See Fail Of Zeebrugge
German losses in the effort to deal an annihilating blow at the Allied Army of the North were known to

French Smash Bridgeheads South of Somme
Paris, May 29—(UP)—An army spokesman reported today that French forces wiped out three German bridgeheads south of the river Somme while forces in the north inflicted heavy losses as they withdrew in the face of enemy pressure. The French asserted that the entire south bank of the Somme is now in their control and that French bridgeheads have been established at several points on the north bank. These bridgeheads might be employed as the spearhead of a counter-offensive should one be ordered.
Military sources and the high command made plain that the French lines along the Somme and the Aisne are being strengthened to withhold any fresh German drive south after the action in the north has been completed.
Throughout the night, after desertion by the Belgian army, the French and British fought, retreating slowly, against continuous German attacks, an army spokesman said, and kept up the fight today.
The army spokesman said, and the French high command asserted officially, that the Allied army, taking the full force of an attack by overwhelmingly superior forces, was fighting valorously and inflicting enormous losses on the Germans.
"Our troops are resisting in the north with admirable vigor against the enemy's desperate efforts," said the high command. "Absolutely certain reports permit affirmation that losses the Germans sustained yesterday and last night were particularly high."
The army spokesman, describing the Allied stand as heroic, told how Little rear guard units, detailed to hold back attacking German forces many times their number, were striking fast and hard into the German lines, hour after hour and day after day, and then retiring—those who were left—to the new Allied positions, each time farther back toward the channel coast.
Through last night, the spokesman said, fighting continued unabated, the Germans seeking to press their overwhelming advantage in numbers and equipment, the Allied rear guards stubbornly resisting, holding them back so that the bulk of the army, at least, could escape.
The situation was again what it had been last week when the Germans drove through their wedge into France—what the army informant called melee on a nightmare scale, in which groups of men little and big, fought to the death in individual action, and Allied mechanized units, tanks and armored cars, slashed back into the lines of the advancing Germans, tangling up the German advance guards into an inextricable mass of fighting men and then getting back—if they could.
Over the German advanced lines, it was reported, now swept scores and hundreds of new American-made planes, bombers and crack Curtiss fighters, thrown into the action as quickly as they arrived.
The way to the coast was still open. An army spokesman asserted this morning that the French still held Dunkirk, the chief Allied base on the coast, and even had men still in Calais.

William Field, a graduate student in the department of entomology, has recently given his private collection of more than 2,000 North American butterflies to the Snow Entomological Museum.
Field turned the collection over to the museum because, like many hobbies it was growing so large that it threatened to get out of his control.

specimen to "butterfly chasers" in other parts of the country, much as stamp collectors trade stamps. He has some of the smallest species known on this continent, and also some of the largest. The smallest ones are less than one-half inch in wing spread, and the largest "giant swallow-tail" measures more than five inches. The color and design of many of the butterflies will cause the onclicker to catch his breath, while others are dull and common.
The collection contained 374 species, and added 87 new species to the museum's 661. Field has spent much of the last semester combining the two collections which now total nearly 5,000 butterflies.
Animal Restoration In Dyche Reaches Half Way Stage
Klaus Abegg, taxidermist, who is cleaning and repairing the stuffed animals in Dyche museum, has completed the renovation of about half of the larger animals, which will be replaced in the natural history panorama on the first floor of the building as soon as the huge glass-encased display is finished.
The group of larger animals that Mr. Abegg has been working on include deer, elk, bears, wolves, buffalo, and goats. Approximately 60 of these larger animals have been combed, brushed, sewed, and glued to restore their original color and smoothness.
In August Mr. Abegg and his assistant, Malcolm Brumwell, gr., will go to Michigan to gather birch trees and moss for a sectional setting in the panorama.
Buildings to Replace Tents for Geology Camping Students
Buildings instead of tents will be available for geology students who plan to attend the summer camp in Canyon City, Colo., this summer. The buildings, now being erected, were the result of contributions by 45 alumni of the department of geology, and will be ready for occupancy when the camp begins June 13.
Almost every summer since 1922, geology students in this and other Universities have taken advantage of the ideal location which the area around Canyon City affords for the practical study of geology.
It is strictly a University of Kansas camp, instructed by Prof. K. K Landes of the department of geology, but graduates of schools throughout the country attend its sessions.
The camp, which is located about 12 miles from Canyon Park, will last six weeks. Those who attend this year are: Eugene Maxwell, e'40, Ben Bagrowski, c'41, Irvin Rink, c'41, Jack Menish, c'40, Oren Baptist, e'40, Harry Patton, c'41, Luther Gustafson, c'41, Stuart Earhart, c'41, Albert Kvansicka, e'43, Robert Morton, Birmingham Southern College, James Clark, Kansas City, Mo., Russell Jeffords, Wallingford, Conn., Karl Becker, Manchester, N.H.
Westminster Choir Closes Season at Kansas City
The Westminster A Cappella choir presented its last concert of the year Sunday night before 600 persons at the First Baptist church of Kansas City.
On the program was an anthem "When Morning Gilds the Skies," composed by Powell Weaver, organist and choir director of the Kansas City church. Mr. Weaver was in the audience to hear the number, which he originally dedicated to Dean D. M. Swarthout and the choir.
The choir will sing for the next two Sunday morning services of the Lawrence First Presbyterian church. On June 9, the choir will appear for the last time under the baton of Dean Swarthout with a presentation of two or three of the anthems studied during the year.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
It is a little early to do any guessing on the Kansas college basketball situation for next season but if the rumors one hears are correct, then some Kansas college is going to have something in a year or two. Some who claim to know say that on the same campus this fall will be seen Gerald Tucker of Winfield, Levi DeWees of Medicine Lodge; Max Kissell of Portis, Bill Engelland of Nickerson, Ernest Nelson of Kackley, Bob Fletcher of Holton, plus the average run of the freshmen cagers. If those boys all land at that one school you might just as well figure that college to go places.
AROUND THE CIRCUIT: One of the best baseball stories of the year is involved in today's batting standings in the major leagues. . . . Leading both leagues in打击 a man who started the season as a substitute, Lou Finney of the Boston Red Six. . . . Finney is hitting .395 currently and has been around that mark for some time. . . . Dominic DiMaggio, the $65,000 beauty, started the season in the right field for the Red Sox, but was injured in the first week of play. . . Finney took his place, and although DiMaggio recovered from his injury rapidly, the young star never had a prayer of a chance of getting back into the lineup, the way Finney has been going. A few weeks ago, everybody including myself, was "putting it on the Yanks", but the World's Champions are beginning to show us up now, and they are moving up on the inside fast. . . . Also the Detroit Tigers are quietly slipping into second place. . . . They are only one and a half games from the runnerup position now. . . The Kansas City Blues are four full games ahead of the Minneapolis Miller's.
FOOD FOR FANDOM: There have been six perfect games pitched where no man reached first base. . . .
On May 2, 1917 Fred Toney, Cincinnati, and J. Vaughn, Chicago Nationals, engaged in a pitcher's duel for nine innings, neither team scoring a run or getting a hit. Cincinnati won in the 10th, 1 to 0, on two hits and an error. Toney did not allow a hit. .. "Big Ed" Walsh, Chicago Americans, pitched 464 innings in 1908, taking part in 66 games, winning 40 and losing 15, for a mark of .727. .. The Detroit Tigers have never won a "Cellar Championship", that is they have never finished in last place. .. Babe Ruth received 2,056 bases on balls during his career.
.. Lou Gehrig, New York Americans, made four home runs in one game, June 3, 1932. This feat was

The University quota of $200 for war relief by the American Red Cross has been exceeded by $50, E. C. Buehler, chairman of the local drive, said at noon today.
Red Cross Drive Exceeds Quota
"The committee wishes to thank all who contributed," Professor Buehler said. "Contributions have been unusually generous, with at least 20 gifts of $5."

Defense Debate Starts Today
Washington, May 28.—(UP)—Congressional committees meet today to raise $700,000,000 annually in emergency defense taxes and increase the debt limit by $3,000,000,000 B). The suddenly produced program already is being denounced as a stop gap.
The plans include a flat 10 per cent increase in income taxation, corporate and individual. The new proposals step on sensitive economic toes and promise to arouse loud protest and delay congressional adjournment until late June at the earliest.
But congressmen are suddenly tax minded even though they are about to dispute bitterly the details of new levies—what articles shall pay more. And this new bill probably is merely a foretaste of higher taxes next year, or soon after, as national defense needs develop.
Congressional leaders agreed to enact a 1940 tax bill yesterday after refusing for months to raise the $460,000,000 (M) of new national defense revenue asked by Mr. Roosevelt in his 1941 fiscal year budget. But the request for additional billions since the blitzkrieg against France and the Low Countries made it likely that the national debt limit of $45,000,000,000, (B) would be exceeded next February. Congress decided to tax now.
New levies now proposed would hit the income tax payer, tobacco user, drinkers of distilled spirits and beer, motorists—and finally the whole population by its increase in existing manufacturer's excise taxes.
Only social security taxes and customs revenue appear to be exempt from the proposed increases.
The election year tax program has general congressional support and

On Crowing Old
Three-quarters of the total increase in population of America since 1920 lies within the age group between 20 and 55. The group of Americans under the age of 15 is lower than it has been at any time in 40 years with the result that the workings of democracy depend more and more on the wisdom and normality of the aging. For this reason America should educate its citizens to grow old gracefully with less imaginative dwelling on "the good old days."
PATTER
The greatest men of the world serve others. They know no age limit. Each new generation hails the world as its own discovery and personal property plunging into the possibilities of life with an excitement that cannot be motivated by the more experienced. Fine though enthusiasm is,men must recognize that the tempering knowledge of maturity keeps the blade of social movement from over-refinement In glorifying youth, modern men develop a blind spot which shuts out the achievements of age.
What forty years have done to a man's physique means nothing significant about the man internally. Beauty of character comes only with years. In the findings of twenty-five biologists, psychologists, and physicians concerning the characteristics of age, one looks in vain for confirmation of the idea that age is necessarily accompanied by loss of the power to live an adequate mental and emotional life. Accident and disease, depression and worry will wear a man out, but careful living and a sane mental viewpoint rebuild worn bodies.
Without a source of dominance and pride, man retreats into the past to become socially but a child. For the good of everybody, the old should work, not in competition with the young in fields of heavyy production, but in supplementary directions. That every aging man or woman should attempt to rock the world with art of scientific discoveries is not necessary, but each should be made to feel his usefulness. No man should be made to retire unless he can find a better use for his time than to continue at some form of his life's work. In this way, the aging man can continue his productivity, retaining a well-balanced outlook on life and living.
YOU SAID IT
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
With the development of the Home Patriot Guard in Kansas City, fascistic terror rends the heart-strings of Midwestern democracy.
Editor, Daily Kansan:
In its first two days eight thousand signed the rolls of the H.P.G. The extent of the war hysteria signified by this event is amazing and terrifying, for the H.P.G. is an organization for the extermination of all fifth-columnists—which includes anyone whom it dislikes.
All who would deviate from the pattern condoned and sanctioned by the majority must now seek shelter on Long's Peak; otherwise, the H.P.G. will get you if you don't look out.
This surpasses in monstrosity even the excesses of the "Red" hunt. A Republican proved never to be a "Red", but even Henry Ford might prove to be a "fifth-columnist"—provided that H.P.G. wished him removed from the American scene.
THAT PROGRESSIVE AGAIN
Keep Off the Grass
Either a lot of students are in a perpetual hurry or they just can't appreciate the beauty of this campus. The verdant lawns of the campus take a beating every spring as thoughtless students cut the corners and wear out spots of grass.
Eastern Kansas rains and the buildings and grounds crew can't do all the work. They serve to build the campus up into one of the beauty spots of the Middle West and a few hurrying and scurring students trod down their work.
In the future, students should take their time. Classes will still be there even if they take time to follow the sidewalks. What's a half-minute in comparison to a beautiful, well-kept lawn?
The worn-down spots have been sodded. After this let students—and professors—keep their heels clicking on the sidewalks. Admire the lawns and take pictures of them, but for the love of Pete and the aesthetics class, keep off the grass!

Colonel Charles Lindbergh's expulsion from the Lafayette Escadrille reminds us of the kid who got kicked out of the Boy Scouts because he used paper in making his campfires—he said it was the easiest and most logical way. . . Anyway the Escadrille says it awarded the Colonel his membership under the same circumstances our fraternity claims to have given us the pledge button—"in a moment of mistaken enthusiasm".

The flight training course involved "no military obligation" on the part of students enrolling, Professor Hay said, despite the government's increased appropriations for airplanes and personnel in its defense program.
Open to Freshmen
The course would, however, provide previous training to students who desired to enlist in the expanding governmental flight training courses, he explained.
The summer training course would be opened to freshmen and others

The summer course will be a continuation of the same program as offered during the regular school year, it was said. At the present time 67 students have completed the ground school work, 50 have passed the elementary flight training course, and five have passed the requirements for advanced flight training.
Sweep to Channel---be large. The German high command admitted that fighting had been desperate.
It was doubted that Zeebruge, 12 miles up the Belgian coast from Ostend and now almost surrounded by the Germans, could hold out long. At Dunkirk the situation was little better although the British rear guard action in this area was powerful.
The French high command claimed that some French troops still were holding out in the channel port of Calais, nearest to England. With fighting going on in the city, however, it was obvious that this port was unuscable for evacuation purposes.
Both the French and the British high commands praised their trapped northern troops for valiant fighting against terrific odds.
Too Late Now
The hope which had been expressed in both London and Paris that General Maxime Weygand might be able to organize a large-scale counter-attack from the south in time to relieve the pressure on the northern army had faded. Any attack now, it was felt, would probably come too late to aid the beleaguered northern troops.

supply centers, but while heavy damage was reported the German attacks in the north were relentless. Bombing was carried on behind the German lines as far as Hamburg and Bremen.
England was preparing for the blow expected as soon as the final remnants of Allied strength along the channel and in northern France and Belgium have been crushed. It was reported that shipping to Britain may be diverted to southwest ports. That would mean virtual abandonment of the great port of London because of its nearness to German forces at the channel.
Prepare To Embark
The British admiralty did not indicate the fate of the German garrison at Navrik but it was thought likely that it is retreating inland along the iron ore railway toward Sweden.
London asserted that the British expeditionary force had not "lost cohesion." An authoritative source asserted that the British were being strongly supported by the French and had withdrawn toward the coast, preliminary to embarkation.
On the Somme front the French reported that three more small German detachments had been mopped up at bridgeheads south of the river. But action here still was definitely on a local scale.
Bitterness continued at the action of King Leopold of the Belgians in capitulating his army and one report circulated that Chancellor Adolf Hitler might ask Leopold to attempt to form a new cabinet in Brussels, displaceing that now in refuge in France.
School children of France have adopted 55,000 soldiers without families to whom they write and send gifts.

28 Student Flyers Still Working On Pilot Licenses
Twenty-eight students in the course in flying instruction have yet to get their pilots licenses, it was announced today by Bill Ashcraft of the Municipal airport. Although these students will have until June 30 to complete the requirements for their license, it is hoped that all licenses may be issued by June 15.
Requirements for a pilot's license are 17 hours dual instruction and 18 hours solo flying. Twenty-two members of the class have already completed these requirements, and have become licensed pilots.
Students yet to complete the course are: Robert Anderson, m'41,
Herman Brakmann, c'41, Harry Brown, b'40, Eldreth Cadwalader, b'

A change in planes used for the summer flight session is being contemplated according to Ascraft. The new planes will be a cabin model Aeronca. They are being out now, and if found of sufficient improvement to warrant the change, will be purchased to supplement the supply of planes now on hand.
Miss Elliott To Make Two Radio Talks on Crime
Miss Mabel A. Elliott, associate professor of sociology and author of several books on crime prevention, will speak on the "History of Punishment" and "Conflicting Bases of Modern Punishment" over station WREN at 12:45 Monday June 3 and June 10.
The program is the second in a series of twelve sponsored by the Society for the Friendless. The talks will deal mainly with methods which aim primarily to punish on the basis of gravity of the offense and treatment which points toward readjusting the offender, Miss Elliott said.

Chancellor's Chair In Use for 68 Years
From the Chancellor's office to the department of German has traveled the chair used by University Chancellors from 1872 until 1894 and is now, after 68 years, still in daily use by E. E. Engle, professor of German and former University registrar.
The chair—a solid walnut swivel type was bought for the University by its second Chancellor, General John Fraser, and was installed in the Chancellor's office, the office now used by the School of Education. It was used successfully by Chancellors James Marvin, J. A. Lippincott, W. C. Spangler, and Frank H. Snow.
In 1896, under Chancellor Snow's
regime, the office of the University was moved to old Snow hall. With the move went a new set of furniture for the school's head man.
Members of a committee to pain another conference on adult education next fall similar to the one held Friday were named today by Miss Ruth Kenney, chairman, secretary of the bureau of correspondence study.
Name Committee To Plan Meeting
Members of the committee include Edward Mertz, Topeka, supervisor of adult education for the WPA; George Gemmell. Manhattan extension division of Kansas State College; Anne Laughlin, Topeka, director of the NYA; and Miss Esther Ekblad, Salina, director of junior education for the Farmer's Union.
After the move was completed all the furniture in the old office was given to the Registrar, E. E. Engle. When Eigle resigned his position in 1899 as Registrar, to return to the department of German, he asked for permission to take the desk and chair with him that had formerly been used by the Chancellors.
Thirty-four persons, representing various educational organizations in the state, attended the adult education conference here Friday. Reports of work being done in adult education in the state were given by George Gemmell, Kansas State college; C. M. Miller, Topeka, vocational education; Merlin G. Miller, Kansas City, Mo., Consumer's Cooperative; and Ira E. McConnell, WPA adult education program.
A program of most of the persons who have presented senior recitals this year will be given in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall at 8 p.m. on June 7.
Those participating will be Arnold Lynch, organ, Vincent Bleecker, violin, Paul Stoner, violin, Eva Ruth Meinke, piano, Betty Lou Mechem, voice, Arlouine GoodJohn, voice, Mary Jane Schlaegel, voice, Helen Dill Goode, piano, Irene Oliver, voice, and Gwen Hunt. piano

"This matter is receiving the foreign secretary's attention," Butler replied.
Officers for next year were selected at a meeting of the K.U. branch of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Monday evening in the Men's lounge of the Memorial Union building.
