Await Italian Blow
Fred Littooy Again Awarded Job As Manager of Campus Dances
By Rodney Morrison
That irresistable, lionized local movie star (the Indolent Fraternity Man), Fred Littooy, l43, has skimmed the cream of Hill jobs again.
Littooy, or "Glamour Pants" as he was dubbed by W.S.G.A. in his fight against giving out council passes last winter, turned his famous smile upon the Varsity dance committee Wednesday. Women wilted, men debated, Henry Werner philosophized, and Litooy got another job with brass knobs on it—the Varsity dance managership.
Those who fell beneath that winning personality and chatter of Littoo were Doris Twente, c'42, Jean Steele, c'41 (W.S.G.A. members) Willis Fankhauser, ph, Jim Burdge, c'41 (M.S.C. members) and Henry Werner, adviser of men.
Because Littooy held the job last year there was some discussion over the advisability of

giving it to him again, according to one of the committee members. But after a few saccharine flips of the lips and praise for the committee, Littooy nosed out the 13 other applicants for the job.
The four students on the committee will aid Littooy next year in managing the dances.
According to a committee member, Littooy was awarded the job for a second time for several reasons. Roughly stated, they were: 1. He presents a fine appearance. 2. The 13 other applicants did not possess the experience or affiliations that Littooy had. 3. Mr. Werner approved of the manner in which he cut out the council dance passes.
Littooy has held University positions before. He worked in the College office, was business manager of the Jayhawker magazine year before last, and will hold the Varsity dance managership for two successive years.
130 Apply for Wings In Summer Air Course
More than 130 students have applied for the summer flight training course and still more applications are coming in, according to Prof. Earl D. Hay, director of the student flight training course. The quota for the summer course has not been definitely set by the Civil Aeronautics Authority as yet, but it will probably be around 100.
Physical examinations for the C.A.A. will be given in the earlier part of next week since the University hospital will be closed shortly thereafter.
The cost of the flight training to the students will be between $30 and $40. This fee covers the costs of training expenses, insurance, text books, physical examinations, and other course expenses. Successful applicants will take a three-hour course in ground school and will get from 35 to 50 hours in the air.
Flight instruction will be under the supervision of the Ashcraft brothers and students will use the same equipment now in C.A.A. service.
The tentative staff for ground school instruction is composed of Prof. Howard Henry, Prof. R. S. Tait, and Prof. Razak.
Only 31 Airports in U.S. Can Handle War Planes
Washington, June 1—(UP)Only 31 of the nation's 1824 civilian airports are capable of handling modern military aircraft and almost none of these may be considered completely up to date, Civil Aeronautics Authority officials revealed yesterday.
U. S. airport facilities, these officials said, are so meager that this country "couldn't even begin to cope with an aerial war." They warned that President Roosevelt's goal of 50,000 planes per year hardly will be worth achieving unless a comprehensive program of airport construction is begun immediately and carried through without delay.
In contrast, they said, most recent estimates indicate that Germany has used 650 first class airports in its Western front operations alone.
Officials said that the whole New England area, termed "one of the most strategic in the country," has only one field that meets necessary requirements—the Boston airport.
The CAA, in a report published early last year, estimated that 3500 modern airports were necessary for civilian use only under its expanded training program.
Baccalaureate Has 10 Events
The complete baccalaureate program for the University the night of Sunday, June 9, contains ten events as follows:
Scripture reading—Rev. H. Lee Jones, Unitarian church.
Processional—"Grand Commencement March" by K.U. band, directed by Russell L. Wiley.
Prayer—Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of school of religion.
Invocation—Rev. Howard E. Koelb, First Baptist church.
Song—"Gloria in Excelsis,"men's glee club, directed by Joseph F. Wilkins.

9 Scholarships For High School Women Awarded
The first list of winners for the new women's scholarships to the University was announced yesterday by Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the honors committee. These new awards will correspond to the Summerfield scholarships for men.
Divided into four sections, according to the source of funds, the first nine winners are as follows:
The W.S.G.A. Honor Scholarship
—Donna G.JA. Stember of Ozawicky
Donnelly Honor Scholarships—Kathleen Carroll, Mulvane; Barbara Joyce Duree, Dodge City; Virginia Mabel Hedges, Wichita; Joy May Miller, Wichita; Mary Charlotte Robson, Waverly; and Maxine Phyllis Ward, Wichita.
The Sadie A. Lawson Honor Scholarship—Frances Blair, Dillon.
An Otto Springer Honor Scholarship—Frances Mary Doutzour, Wichita.
Winners of the honor scholarships were nominated by their high school principals as outstanding members of this year's graduating class. They took the first examination that was given candidates for the Summerfield scholarships or March 23 but were not called to Lawrence to take the final test at the boys. Results of the test com

Fear Duce Will Strike Tuesday
By United Press
IN ROME,political circles believed next Tuesday,when premiere Benito Mussolini meets with hi scabinet,would be Italy's "decision day."
The big question last night was: "When will Italy strike?"
The army was ready, all plans preliminary to war were completed and the authoritative Relazioni Internationale said Italy would fight her "British and French enemies until final victory was reached."
As though to give France a taste of what it would be like to have a new enemy capable of launching assault against her from a new direction, squadrons of German planes bombed cities of the great Rhone valley in southern France.
IN PARIS, the French claim that their pursuit ships intercepted the bombers and shot down a number of them, but other sources said three waves of German bombers carried out raids over the French port of Marseilles and the great industrial city of Lyons.
40 Dead in Marseilles
AT MARSEILLES. 40 persons were reported killed.
The French claim they repulsed three German attacks along the 20 mile sector from Amiens to the sea, inflicting tremendous losses on the enemy with terrific artillery fire.
While Italy made ready for war, the Germans undertook new assaults in Flanders and along the Somme from Amiens to Abbeville.
The epic task of evacuating the British and French armies trapped in Flanders continues and in London it was estimated that anywhere from 40 per cent—approximately 140,000—to 75 or 80 per cent of the pocketed soldiers had been removed across the channel.

All is quiet on the social front, and society news on Mt. Oread is as scarce as uncensored war news in Germany. All the 400 have definitely given up making any attempt to keep activities in a whirl and have admitted that the halls of study are the best place for them. Students who are capable of rationalizing well enough to think that relaxation does more good than study before a final are indulging in a host of picnics and informal activities and making the most of the late closing hours which rule

Tailored Sports Clothes Fit the College Budget
Day by day in every way sports clothes get better and better. They were made so handsome last year that it made us want to pare the school-clothes budget and spend more on perfectly tailored slacks, colorful shorts, sweaters and such.
We didn't of course. Some sudden, unusual, unexpected ray of sanity struck, and we realized that no matter how much we liked the new sports clothes, we couldn't very well wear them on the Campus.
This year we're even more tempted. American-made play togs are even lovelier than they have been heretofore. The popularity of cotton makes them within the reach of every pocket-book. The double-duty or mix-and-match themes make it a simple matter for any girl to choose two or three items which will do the work of six.
There are inexpensive, stunningly tailored slacks and matching jackets of easy-to-wash terry cloth. These come in wonderful shades of yellow, green, blue and scarlet as well as white with colored trim.
New seersucker pajamas incidentally look like pajamas and not like slacks.
Seersucker, long a favorite, is used for lounging pajamas for porch or terrace, for shorts and for sports dresses. It's smart in plains and checks as well as pastels, golden biege and bright colors.
4 Staff Members Make Who's Who
Favorite colors for sports togs are more than slightly barbaric. The increasingly popular red, the new poison green, a flaming orange, a hard, bright blue, and a brilliant yellow are widely used-by themselves and with snowy white.
Four University staff members are among the nation's notables to be mentioned for the first time in the 1940-41 edition of "Who's Who in America," which is just off the press.
The newcomers are: Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Prof. Earl D. Hav of the School of Engineering and director of the Civil Aeronautics Authority on the campus, Bert Nash, of the School of Education, and Mapheus Smith, associate professor of sociology.
Other University staff members who are listed in earlier editions include:
William J. Baumgartner, Albert Bloch, Frank L. Brown, William L Burdick, H. P. Cady, Ivan C. Crawford, F. B. Dains, R. M. Davis, Seba Eldridge, L. N. Flint, L. D. Havenhill, Henry F. Holtzclaw, and E. M. Hopkins.
H. B. Hungerford, Samuel J. Hunter, John Ise, F. E. Kester, Rosemary Ketcham, H. H. Lane, P. B. Lawson, E. H. Lindley, Margaret Lynn, W. O. Miessner, R. C. Moore, C. F. Nelson, and F. P. O'Brien.
R A. Schwegler, Florence B. Sherbon, N. P. Sherwood, Charles S. Skilton, Frank T. Stockton, O. O. Stoland, E. B. Stouffer, Mervin T. Sudler, D. M. Swarthout, Robert Taft, Olin Templin, P. W. Viesselman, A. T. Walker, and Raymond H. Wheeler.
Former Chancellor E. H. Lindley will teach two philosophy courses when he returns to the University next fall. The courses were approved by the College faculty, Dean Paul B. Lawson has announced.
Approve Courses For E. H. Lindley
Doctor Lindley, who has studied philosophy in Harvard and three foreign universities, will teach a two-hour class in "Plan for Living" open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. The other course will be "The Human Situation," also two hours and "open to juniors, seniors and graduate students. Doctor Lindley will hold the rank of professor of philosophy.

Budget Is Only Defect Of University Movie
By Jim Bell, c'40
"Far Above the Golden Valley," the Bureau of Visual Instruction's movie of University life, should serve its avowed purpose—to sell K.U. to high school seniors and their parents.
Although the premiere audience Tuesday night was inclined to scoff quietly, it realized that the picture is not intended to be a picture of K. U. life as Hillies know it, nor is it supposed to be any technical masterpiece—not with that slim budget on which director Allen Crafton and cameraman Art Wolf had to work. What it is supposed to be is an inexpensive picture of a segment of college life, as realistic as the director possibly could make it with limited facilities, and an instrument with which K.U. can combat, to some extent, the fantastic rumors of our rumming, anti-religion, high living and rebellious life that are circulated about the state. As this, the picture is a fine success.
The picture is no polished masterpiece. It can't be, considering the conditions under which it was filmed. When you see it, remember that the director and author is a full time professor who was carrying a full academic load during the filming, that the cameraman is a hard working law student and that all the actors are students who volunteered their
time between classes and study periods.
The story concerns five University students and how they grew. There is Ann, the daughter of a small town restaurant proprietress, played by Ann Rightmire; Bernice, a "snobish" sorority girl, who is impressed only by her social station, portrayed by Esther; Mitchell; Carl, a farm boy, acted by Larry David; Dave, an indolent fraternity man, played by Fred Littooy; and Les, a homesick young man from a small town, Les Hixon.
Ann and Carl make their adjustments easily and Les comes around from his incessant desire to pack up and go home in a reasonable length of time, but the fraternity man and the sorority girl don't do so well. One of the picture's two bad points is that it appears to be an indictment against the fraternity system. It's going to hurt rushing in small towns.
The other fault is Bernice's snob-bishness. This reviewer feels that outstate audiences will forget that the girl was a snob before she came to the Hill and that she was eventually cured. They will remember solely the fact that she was a snob—one of the many they hear infest Mt. Oread.
Real acting honor goes to Les Hixon, Larry David and Mary Frances McAnaw. Hixon and David are veteran performers on the K.U. stage, but Miss McAnaw is a new-comer. The story is told how she, as a Daily Kansan reporter, failed to get
a story about, tryouts in the paper and was the only one to show up. In a moment of playful rage, Director Crafton made her take a screen test, and lo and behold, a star was born. She plays Ann's roommate very nicely. The parents in Hounds Ditch, Kan., will think she is wonderful.
'Wacky' French Gardener Inspires His Countrymen
David, who this writer suspects never saw anything closer to a farm than Central Park in New York City, has no trouble at all becoming an ambitious young farmer boy with a horn. He spends the picture trying to learn to play a trumpet. It is a good thing that the picture was not shot for sound.
London, June 1—(UP)—A 60-year-old French gardner, once described as "un peu touche," (a little touched in the head) today was the inspiration for thousands of British civilian home defenders.
The gardener lived on an estate in Rheims. He was too old for military service, but when the Germans started their big push, he got his old, second-hand Swedish machine gun out of the attic of his little cottage.
Hixon's performance is, in many respects, the best in the picture. He seemed to understand the part perfectly and carried it off with ease.
He had spent most of his savings on the gun when the war started last September. His constant polishing of the gun and his pride in its ownership was a source of much amusement of the wits in the Rheims grog shops.
At the edge of Rheims, the story goes, the gardener was waiting with his finger on the trigger of his pet. It popped faithfully and the German bomber hit the dust.
A harmless old duffer playing soldier, "un peu touche," the wise-acres said.
But it is to director Crafton than the biggest part of the credit is due. He wrote the script and managed the production. Don Dixon served as his assistant. Whatever the picture's success is, it belongs to Crafton. He knew his subject and, we are sure, was perfectly aware of the minor defects pointed out elsewhere in this review.
But one day a German bomber reached the edge of the town, after the invasion of the low countries, and military machine gunners blaze away and missed.
The bomber was too low for the heavy anti-aircraft guns.
Now the "pop-pop" man of Rheims is the pride of his town and his feat is cited here as an inspiration for Britain's thousands of "parashootists."
At the premiere, Fred Montgomery, head of the Bureau of Visual Instruction, presided with the grace of a professional master of ceremonies. Kaw Valley orchids (Iris) were presented to the stars following the picture's showing.
The production should serve as a valuable bit of experience, pointing the way to future work in this field. It should certainly justify the expenditure of more money for more films of the same sort. The University can use some of this good publicity!

spiritual force of moral knowledge.
Religion or peace can't thrive without reason. The love of God doesn't follow a goose-stepper or a Tommy as he bombs an enemy hospital. Human brotherhood doesn't ride the sky in a plane battle or steam with a warship or dive with a submarine. The Kingdom of God is hardly in evidence now in Flanders, or Calais, or Bologne.

America now needs to proceed slowly with the yellow stop-light of caution. She would be wise to give absolute freedom of speech and of the press to religious pacifists. She should stifle hysteria with reason—to let a cool head choose the logical course.
Editor, Daily Kaiser.
As Hitler's squeeze-out of Allied troops seems eminent with the surrender of King Leopold, as America is awakened to a possible Reich victory, this country, panicked, turns to the vanguard of religious pacifism. Pacifism says, "When your blood boils, add a pinch of reason."
Editor, Daily Kansan:
A PACIFIST.
Pacifists, on the other hand, don't advocate a do-nothing policy. They merely refuse to let their consciences be regulated by the state. They part company with non-pacifists upon the kind of force to be used rather than the need of force. The pacifist wants a spiritual force of moral idealism.
Those who so readily cried "betrayal!" when Leopold III ordered his Belgian army to surrender the other day to the Germans should think twice before they condemn the young king of the Belgians. King Leopold's act under the circumstances might well be considered courageous and humane.
Yes, the most important armaments for this country are reason and a cool head. Clear thinking must come before effective action. Muddled thought led to the shameless profiteering and waste of the last war. If logic is downed by hysteria, government may again be turned over to what H. G. Wells calls the "forgod-sake" school.
Judas or Savior? Editor, Daily Kansan:
★ ★ ★
Under the circumstances it is very possible that the young Belgian king, realizing the great cost to his subjects and his country as a result of the Nazi's formidable drive across Belgium, decided to surrender to save them from further catastrophe even in the face of disapprobation from the allies and his own people.
The World War I made Belgian its battleground in 1914 and Leopold, a lad of twelve at that time, was old enough to remember the debacle his country suffered then. This second world war has already proved more catastrophic than the first. As commander-in-chief of the Belgian army, as well as king, Leopold holds a great responsibility for his people.
From the first Leopold desired to keep his country from the perils of war and broke his country's military alliance with France, only relinquishing all hopes of neutrality when his country was invaded.
The true purpose of this unexpected move of Belgiums Leopold III, only time can tell. But until then cries of "shame" for the young king should be withheld lest the shouters find themselves denouncing the most courageous and humane act of this bloody war.

Col. Charles A. Lindberg has spent some time in the past several years in Europe studying the European countries' lines of defense in the air.

That this attitude should be taken as an "insult to the memory of the comrades who fell on the field of honor and who rest in the crypt of the Lafayette escadrile monument at Garches" instead of a hope that great masses of young Americans need not share the fate of the escadrillie comrades can only seem ridiculous and unfortunate to this country's peace-loving citizens.
Lindberg did not lose an honor when his name was removed from membership files of the world war association of pilots. Rather he received condemnation because he sought peace for his countrymen instead of death in fruitless battle.

Pool is for Fools
Editor, Daily Kansan:
Next year the Memorial Union building will be renovated. The basement will undergo a complete rearrangement, according to the Kansan.
The Union building needs some re-arrangement. For a long time a pool room has been conducted there which amounts to a subsidization of less than a hundred pool players. In other words, a few select students have had themselves a cozy little club in the basement of the Union building. Membership is very limited since very few students care enough about pool or billiards to learn.
Why should so much space be given to pool-players? Why not turn all that wasted space into an amusement center where all can seek entertainment instead of a few loafing pool sharks?
I DON'T PLAY POOL.

Stadium and Union Were Gifts
Dyche Museum in Repair
The University of Kansas stadium and union were both memorials to the 130 men and women who died in the World War, 1914-1918. Both were built by subscriptions by students and alumni, the stadium costing in all $640,000 and the Union and its furnishings approximately $260,-000 to date. All students and alumni are proud of both structures. The stadium is useful for the spectacles that draw huge crowds such as football, Kansas Relays and Commencement. The Union with its beautiful lounge, banquet and dance hall and smaller dining and committee rooms is a place of great enjoyment constantly for the students.
University Services Over the State
The Dyche Museum of Natural History is now undergoing reconstruction of the interior, and it is hoped that at least part of the museum can be opened to the public within a year. The building has been closed since December, 1932, because of structural defects, and exhibits have been in storage and unavailable to the public since then. In the past Dyche Museum housed one of the most notable natural history collections in the middle west, and as many as 75,000 persons visited the museum each biennium. With the museum remodeled along the lines of modern practice it is expected that many more persons than in the past will visit the collections when the building is reopened.
A large number of state services are provided by the University. For instance, the state geological survey, the state water and sewage laboratory of the state board of health two of the food and drug anaylsi
laboratories of the state board of health, the standard weights and measures, and part of the entomological field work of Kansas are located at K.U. by legislative acts. Certain other services have been established by the Board of Regents such as the State Petroleum Experiment Station, the bureau of school service, the service bureaus of the extension division,' and the bureau of school service of the School of Education. These activities exist for the general service of the State.
Co-Operate on Development
The various department of the University are cooperating extensively with the Kansas Industrial Development Commission in the study of problems relating to the expansion of industry in the State. These include the State Geological Survey, the State Water and Sewage Laboratory, the Engineering Experiment Station, the departments of Chemistry, Geology, Chemical Engineering and Petroleum Engineering, and the Bureau of Business Research. Most of these departments for years have been interested in and making studies of problems affecting Kansas industry. They have gladly expanded their efforts, however, in order to make as large a contribution as possible to the work of the state Commission. Of great assistance in their studies is a new legislative appropriation of $5,000 for industrial fellowships. Under this fund five ping in cooperating with the Federal work on the following studies approved by the state Commission: The Economics of Ceramics, Freight Rates as they Affect Industrial Development, Efficiency and Utilization of Coal, Production of Electrolytic Chlorine from Salt Deposits Using Natural Gas for a power source, Re-

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Horace Mason, '37 Guest Conductor
As the school year draws to a close, a number of crack athletes are winding up their four years on Mount Oread. Included are some of the finest young men to be found at any University in the country.
The "Three Musketeers" of the Kansas basketball team, Don Ebling, Dick Harp, and Bruce Voran, are as popular as any three seniors on the campus. Among American football players it probably would be hard to find many stars with the scholastic ability equal to that of Milton Sullivant, Jayhawk quarterback, and Russ Chitwood, first string left end.
Two of the best track teams in the country this year are coached by former K.U. mentors . . . Washington State boasts one of the best track teams in the school's history
. . . Coach of the Cougars is Karl Schlademan, who handled the Jayhawk track team from 1920 through 1926 . . . The other successful ex-Kansas coach is Brutus Hamilton, head track coach at the University of California . . . Hamilton coached on Mount Oread in 1930, 1931, and 1932.
Washington State's team has been highlighted by the work of Lee Orr, a star on the 1936 Canadian Olympic team . . . At the Pacific Coast conference track meet last week, Orr won the 440 yard dash in 46.9 and the 220 yard low hurdles in 23.3 . . . Willis Dale of Washington State won the 880 in 1:52.6, and teammate Dixie Garner was the winner in the two mile run at 9:12.5, a new conference record.
Brutus Hamilton's stars at California include Herb Michael, 53 foot shot putter; Barney Wolf, 155 foot disc thrower; Guinn Smith, 14 foot 3 inch pole vaulter; Martin Biles, 209 foot javelin thrower; Clarence Barnes, 47.9 quarter-miler; Denzel Widel, 153.5 half-miler; and Ted Vollmer, 9:18 two miler.
At present, however, Hamilton is spending much of his time thinking about next year when his freshman middle distance ace, Grover Klemmer, is eligible for varsity competition . . . Klemmer has shown far greater promise than did Archie Williams, the junior college transfer, Hamilton made into an Olympic champion in the 400 meters . . .
The tall California freshman has run the 440 in 47 flat and the 880 in 1.53.
Cage Doubleheader With Texas Carded For Next December

Freshman Miler Ready To Fill Glenn's Shoes
As Glenn Cunningham, Kansas' most famous athlete, does his packing and prepares to leave Mount Oread, a freshman who may be K.U.'s successor to the Elkhart Express in national circles is training daily on the Jayhawk cinder track.
The promising yearling is not barrel-chested like Cunningham and is even shorter, but he has that one all-important thing, the will to win. @___
This freshman ace whom Coach "Bill" Hargiss is grooming for stardom is Jack Bellman, who performed brilliantly for Argentine High School in Kansas City, Kan.
His rise to fame on the cinder track was sensational. In the short space of eight months Bellman made himself a champion. He started running in October of his junior year and the following May he was the winner of the mile run at the state high school track meet.
Bellman first won notice in high school for his skill as a violinist. During the latter part of his career at Argentine, he was concert master of the high school orchestra.
The fact that he won the championship that day was overshadowed by the time he made, however. A 4:30.2 mile for a boy who has been running less than a year is an exceptional feat.
Bellman retained his mile title at the state meet last spring, but won in slower time than the previous year, due to a rain-soaked track.
Rather than running for records in high school, Bellman ran just fast enough to win and consequently avoided the danger of getting "burned out."
This year Bellman has likewise had the opportunity to go along without straining. He has run a full mile only twice this year, spending most of his training time building up endurance or working on his sprint.
At Argentine high, Bellman ran the 220 as well as the mile and the little
distance runner is a creditable fur- long runner. Hargiss feels that Bellman could run the 880 in 1:55 right now and is sure that the Kansas City boy will be under 4:20 in the mile regularly next year.
Gordon Gray New Frosh Cage Coach
Gordon Gray, of Newton, former University of Kansas basketball player and Big Six pole vaulting champion, will succeed Ernst Uhrllaub as freshman basketball coach next year, Dr. F. C. Allen announced today.
Since graduation Gray has been an all sports coach at Harlingen, Tex. He is returning to the University to take his masters in physical education.
Gray was a member of the varsity basketball team in '33, '34, and '35. Uhrlaub was captain of the team in '21.

Each scholarship is valued at least $100, and is awarded for one year. The committee hopes that the plan will be permanent, and that funds will be available to award 10 or 12 of the scholarships each spring.
Also announcement was made of six other Donnelly scholarships to five Lawrence and one Herington student. These were awarded on a non-competitive basis to students already in the University. These winners did not take the preliminary test but were chosen because of outstanding talent in some field of study. These awards were designated simply as "Donnelly scholarships" to distinguish them from the "Donnelly Honor Scholarships."

However, this comparison is not indicative of results on the Summerfield tests, because none of the Lawrence candidates took the test, while all of the Wichita candidates did.

Where K.U. Students Eat, Sleep, Study
You're all wet if you think the little palaces pictured above are the worst possible places for students to live in. One of the boys who live in this modern Lincolnian cabin located southwest of the campus, says he moved there because he didn't want to live in the "rat traps" that are available about the Hill.
Take these basement rooms that are rented "economically" for example. We know a student who once lived in one of them. For working from one to two hours daily he got a cot and a table—a straightback chair, too—next to a coalbin. For companions he had the bugs and spiders that played up and down the damp, unplastered tile walls. During the winter he studied in his overcoat, huddled beneath a light with a cardboard shade. The student performed his morning, noon, and night ablutions in a tin washpan.
Well, by the end of one semester that student had to sit on the front row during examinations so he could squint at the questions on the blackboard. He had lost 15 pounds of weight because of incessant colds. He still has weak lungs and would be easy prey to tuberculosis—if he doesn't already have it.
Now the University has done superb work in getting the three dormitories. Everyone has worked for them. More than a hundred boys who haven't much money will have a decent place in which to live. But a hundred, or even two hundred, doesn't cover all the students on this campus.
What is needed to correct housing conditions on the Hill is COMPULSORY HOUSING. The Daily Kansan has said this before and will continue to say it until something is done. Compulsory Housing would make every room a student lives in a healthy, decent home. The Housing Commission would see to it that it were given the power of Compulsory Housing as it exists in every other state school in Kansas.
Compulsory Housing would make all rooming house owners bring their rooms up to a decent standard. Those who have good rooms now but can't rent them because of the cut-throat competition from those who maintain rooms below standard would be able to rent them at a price lower than they now charge. As stated before, with the dormitories in full swing, the supply of rooms would remain essentially unchanged and the demand somewhat less. It doesn't take a course in Price and Distribution to realize that prices, although quality has improved, would remain virtually the same.
Compulsory Housing can go in effect next year. The Housing Commission has all the information to put it in force. Wilbur Leonard, housing inspector, has stated his belief that the Housing Commission can carry on Compulsory Housing with the money they now have. All that is lacking is Chancellor Malott's agreement.
At the first of the year, Chancellor Malott made the very apt statement that the cigarette stubs cluttering up University buildings was a question of "good housekeep- (Continued on page eight)

Nazis Launch Fierce Attacks On West Front
By Joe Alex Morris United Press Staff Correspondent
Germany launched a new drive today against the backbone of French resistance and Berlin threatened a simultaneous thrust against Britain.
More than a million men, perhaps 1,500,000, were involved as the whole French front from the sea to the Maginot line blazed up. The Germans were attacking in force against the center positions of the Somme-Aisne front. Strong French counter-thrusts were delivered at both ends of the线, around Abbeville
Werner Denies He Favored Littooy's Method
Henry Werner, men's student adviser, today formally denied that he had voiced approval of dance manager Fred Littoyo's past action to curtail student council dance passes.
Littoo was given a second term at the job recently and Sunday the Kansan indirectly quoted a member of the dance manager committee who gave three reasons for Littoo's reappointment. Reason three was Mr. Werner's supposed approval of the way Littoo handled dance passes. Mr. Werner said he made no such statement and the dance committee passed the following resolution:
" . . . in consideration of ap-
plicants for dance manager po-
and Longwy. Paris reported heavy German casualties.
The French blows appeared to hint an attempt by the French high command to unhinge the German line from its anchor positions at the sea and at the Maginot line. Success of such a move would open the Germans up to flank attacks and might seriously compromise their drive for Paris.
Fresh German troops, hitherto held in reserve, were hurled into the new offensive.
The German high command claimed that the French attacks had been beaten off.
The objective of the German drive was plainly stated by Chancellor Adolf Hitler. It is, he said: "The annihilation of our enemies in Paris and London."
Germany was using an estimated 600,000 men for the offensive—40 infantry divisions and five motorized "panzer" divisions of the type that accomplished the sweep through northern France. Some 2,250 tanks

May Oust Chamberlin After 'Colosal Disaster'
Loudon, June 5—(UP)Great Britain, while reorganizing its shattered expeditionary force and arming urgently to repel an expected German invasion, threatened today to throw Neville Chamberlain and those long associated with him out of the cabinet as responsible for the "colossal military disaster" which the Allies suffered in Flanders. $ ^{ \dagger} $
It was forecast that as the result of a secret session of the House of Commons, to be held probably next Tuesday, Chamberlain might be forced from his war cabinet post of Lord President of the council and chairman of the cabinet steering committee, and that others might go with him.
Important hold -overs from Chamberlain's cabinet, from whom Winston Churchill took over a few hours after Adolph Hitler started his blitzkrieg on Holland and Belgium, include Sir Kingsley Wood, Chancellor of the Exchequer; Lord Halifax, foreign secretary; Anthony Eden, war secretary; Sir Andrew Durcan, president of the board of trade, and Sir John Simon, Lord Chancellor.
At the secret session of the whole problem of home defense, ranging from interment of fifth columnists to anti-invasion measures, will be subjected to an unsparing inquiry by Commons members. It was forecast that the house might go much further and attempt to fix the blame for the Allied disaster in Flanders, and that the result would be that Chamberlain personally, and probably some of those in his own cabinet, would go.
Though Churchill's appointment was an implicit repudiation of Chamberlain's policies, Chamberlain has remained leader of the Conservative party, and in his post as chairman of the cabinet steering committee, which co-ordinates the work of cabinet committees and often speaks for the war cabinet.
Both the Liberal party organ
News Chronicle, and the Labor party organ, Daily Herald, demanded today that the "umbrella wielders" in the cabinet go out entirely.
Soldiers with bayonetted rifles barricaded road entrances to a southeast British port suddenly last night, stopped all vehicles and pedestrians, and required all who sought to approach to identify themselves.
Scores of British Fascists were arrested in fifth columnist raids throughout the country. Included were some Fascists who had intended to run for House of Commons seats, it was understood.
French Government Awards Book Prize To Irene McClune
Jessie Irene McClune, c'42, was awarded the annual book prize by the government of France, by the vote of the French faculty of the department of romance language, it was announced recently.
Miss McClune is the second University winner since the French government selected Kansas for one of its prize awards last year. The award is given to sophomore students of French for outstanding work in that language.
Last year's winner was Rosemary Jones, c'41. The gift book this year is a volume by Jean Bonnerot entitled "Les Paysages de France." The fly leaf bear an inscription signed by Rene Weiller, the French consul at Chicago.

The maternal grandmother, now Mrs. Lloyd T. Wiltse, and John Rosevelt were waiting in the hospital when the child was born at 7:30 a.m.
The child was delivered by Dr Charles C. Shedd, who also attended Mrs. John Roosevelt when her first son was born prematurely and died June 2, 1939.
Child To Son John's Wife, Anne
Boston, June 5. — (UP) — Anne Clark Roosevelt, 23, wife of the President's youngest son, John, gave birth to a seven pound, nine ounce son today at Richardson house of the Boston lying-in hospital.
This is a Mid-West Premiere Showing.
The conditions of both mother and child were described by physicians as 'very good."
The mother and Young Roosevelt were married June 18, 1938, in century-old Nahant church with President and Mrs. Roosevelt among the guests. Anne made her debut in 1936.
John is employed as assistant manager in the Winchester branch store of William Filene's Sons Co. The newest Roosevelt baby is the tenth grandchild of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt.

West Coxsackie, N.Y., June 5.—(UP) The body of a man tentatively identified as Wallis C. Bird, wealthy sportsman of Mill Neck, N.Y., was found by a searching party today, less than 100 yards from the wreckage of Bird's four-seater Beechcraft airplane.
Faculty Okays New Art Degree For the College
A new major leading to and A. B. degree in art will be offered at the University next year, Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, announced following approval by the College faculty.
Under this new arrangement, students in the College can take about one-third of their work in art and the other two-thirds in the College. The major is intended for students who want considerable training in art, but do not wish to become technicians in the subject, Lawson said.
Next year credit will also be granted to those who will sing in the new University A Cappella Choir to be organized by Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts.
A third change in requirements of the College came when the faculty voted to raise the total number of hours which would be accepted on an A. B. degree for work done in the professional schools of the University from 15 to 20. This was done because the professional schools increasingly are offering more courses which the general student can take at the University.
Pharmacy Senior Exhibits Go on Display Friday
Senior exhibits of the School of Pharmacy will be on display starting Friday in room 111 in Bailey Chemical laboratories. The exhibits were judged by the State Board of Pharmacy on its recent visit to the University.
Probably the last operation of the year will be performed Thursday morning when James Zimmerman, c'43, has a bone tumor removed from his leg. When the hospital closes Monday, June 10, Zimmerman and Mattie Pugh, ed'41, who recently underwent a spinal operation, will be moved to Lawrence Memorial hospital.
Pershing Frederick, ph. won first prize, membership in the American Pharmaceutical Association.
Winding up one of the busiest years in its existence, Watkins Memorial hospital still contained 18 patients at noon today.
Watkins Hospital Winds up Busy Year With 18 Patients
Alexander Shifrin, c'40, and Galen Fields, m'sp, who have typhoid, will be sent home some time before Monday, it was believed.
The Players are a national organization whose membership is based on service and ability in the department of dramatics.
Rosamond Barland, c'40, celebrated the completion of her final examinations by having her tonsils removed this morning.
Among those to be initiated were:
Frederick Fleming, c'unel; Emmy Jane Harbin, c'40; Bill Shipley, fa'40;
Rosemary Sebesta, c'40; and Les Hixon, c'sp.
Most of the remaining patients will be discharged Monday or some time before. Ed Palmer, c'43, and Ellsworth Stephens, e'41, pneumonia patients will be well enough to be sent home at that time also, according to hospital authorities.
Dramatic Students Are Initiated
Initiation services for the Kansas section of the National Collegiate Players was held Sunday afternoon.

Two Doctors Resign Posts
Flowers in a gorgeous riot of color, a vine covered terrace, and a tea table presided over by two charming hostesses made a delightful spring picture last Sunday at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Frank E. Jones, 1140 East Thirteenth street.
Dr. Ben F. Klaumann and Dr. Paul W. Miles, assistant physicians of the student health service, will not return next year, it was announced today.
In 1937, while he was still an internne, Klaumann took over a practice in Harlan, Ky., in the midst of the riots and strikes in the mining town. "Two state highway patrolmen slept in my office all the time," he smiled. The doctor said that he had not expected to treat gunshot wounds so soon.
Jones Flower Garden Draws Many Visitors
The gardens of Professor and Mrs. Jones are the mecca for flower lovers from all over the state. The flowers are just now at the height of the blooming season. An almost constant stream of visitors stroll over the paths. Tea was served to 300 visitors last Sunday by Mrs. Jones and her daughter, Betty.
Doctor Miles will take a special course in pathology at Bell Memorial hospital in Kansas City this summer and will probably enter private practice in the fall.
Doctor Klaumann will begin another chapter of an eventful career when he enters private practice this summer in Kansas City with Dr. Rial Olivie and Dr. Horace Flanders, industrial physicians.
There are 350 varieties of iris in the Jones garden, in all colors of the rainbow.
They are growing between 50 and 60 varieties of peonies. The huge blossoms are in varying shades of red, pink, and white. The blossoms are cut while in bud, placed in cold storage and held for sale for Memorial Day. Sixty dozen have been
The committee plans to put on talent shows similar to the one at the last mid-week. Cokes will be served at the east end of the ballroom.
Cold drinks and hot talent will enliven the Varsity dances next year if the dance authorities put into operation a plan which is now being considered. The Union Activities committee and the Dance committee with Fred Littoo as dance manager, are working on a plan to create more interest in the varsities and thus insure a larger attendance next year.
Mrs. Jones was state president of the Kansas Flower Club for the year 1937-1938. She is an authority on gardening and has published articles in "Gardens" and "Garden Club Work" in The American Home magazine.

already thus prepared and Professor Jones had over 600 blossoms ready for the Decoration Day market this year.
Nazis Launch---needed to have close to a million men. While the battle of annihilation ordered by Hitler got underway, an eight-day celebration of the Flanders victory was starting on the German home front—also at Hitler's order. For three days, he decreed, bells will ring throughout Germany and for eight days there is to be joy and festivity.
"Financially, this hobby has not been so successful," said Mrs. Jones, "for just as soon as we receive a little money we put it right back into new bulbs."
Club Atmosphere For Fall Varsities
Against this the French were believed to have close to a million men
The French reported that the German attack was concentrated between the sea and the Laon-Soissons road—indicating that the chief fighting was going on along the 110-mile front with lesser fighting for the whole distance of the line.

Action opened with a traditional artillery bombardment at 4 a.m.—an unusual feature of the present war which has been marked on the German side by an absence of artillery preparations.
The brunt of this attack, it was clear, must be borne by the French with the aid of a small British expeditionary force which remained in France when the chief BEF forces went into Belgium. Winston Churchill indicated to parliament yesterday
that losses of equipment in the evacuation of Flanders were so great that it would be several months before a large new BEF could be reconstituted.
The Italian front today continued ominous but without tangible developments to indicate whether Italy was closer to entry into the war. Telephone communication between Italy and France and Great Britain was banned. The Fasiest school for political preparation was closed because all students have been called to the colors.
A report reached Rome that Greece had rejected an urgent Turkish request for permission to occupy some Greek islands, particularly some near the Great Italian base in the Dodecanese islands off the Turkish coast. Belgian quarters in Paris indicated that even if Germany should win the war King Leopold would no longer be satisfactory to the Belgians as a monarch.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
By Horace Mason (Guest Conductor)
With the present school year ending, it becomes time to look ahead to what 1940-41 holds for Kansas in athletics. Prospects in football are cheering, if not rosy. Gwinn Henry has now had time to install his style of play and this should make considerable difference. Last fall the players were not very familiar with the Henry formations and plays.
A better spirit and improved fundamentals are two other items which cannot be taken too lightly. Coach Henry takes a lot of stock in how badly a boy wants to play football and will give a battler every chance to make good. Team morale improved greatly under the popular veteran last fall and continued to rise this spring.
Emphasis on blocking and tackling, with the instruction being done in a highly efficient manner, has worked wonders in these two departments. Jayhawk backs, in particular, have improved so much in these fundamentals that it looks like a different squad.
The dean of American basketball coaches, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, expects to have one of his greatest teams next year. Back from this year's Western N.C.A.B. championship team will be Ralph Miller, Bob Allen, Howard Engleman, and John Kline as a nucleus for the 1941 quintet. Up from the freshman team come Norman Sanneman, a star for two years at Washburn; Johnny Buescher, a brilliant forward from Illinois; and Marvin Sollenberger, a guard on Hutchinson Junior College's state championship队.
For the first time in history, the Kansas basketball team will play in Madison Square Garden, next winter. Fordham will be the Jayhawk's opponent in the big sports arena. As a result of Kansas' exceptional record in basketball, the Jayhawks have long been sought for games in the Garden. The schedule will be rugged from start to finish with Temple to be met in Philadelphia and two games each to be played with the University of Texas and Oklahoma A. and M.
Track prospects are looking up, with a likely freshman squad to augment the returning veterans. Back in action will be Darrell Mathes in the 100 and 220, Kenney Hamilton and Fred Eberhardt in the 440, Don Thompson and Grant Hatfield in the 880, Dick Edwards in the mile, Bob Stoland in the high jump, J. R. Jones in the broad jump and Bill Beven and Jack O'Hara in the pole vault.
NOTICE
University athletes who in tend to play baseball this summer, must get written permission from Kansas' Big Six faculty representative, Prof. W. W. Davis.
Permits may be secured from the athletic office and then are to be taken to Professor Davis.
Athletes may not play summer baseball until after June 6th, the end of the examination period at the University, or they will forfeit their eligibility.
Let's Keep 'em Eligible Fine Frosh Tracksters Bolster Kansas Hopes
A freshman track team of considerable promise has done much to brighten track prospects for the Jayhawkers next year.
Topping the yearling candidates are Jack Bellman, miler from Kansas City, Kan., and Don Pollom, hurdler and spinter from Topeka.
Both are former state high school champions and Pollom is the holder of the national interscholastic record in the 200-yard low hurdles. His mark of 22.1 seconds was set here two years ago.
Bellman was a sensation at Argentine high school and much him. He should be
Bellman was a sensation at is expected of him. He should be under 4:20 in the mile consistently next year and may rate national honors. Other Standouts
Other freshmen or transfers expected to stand out in 1941 include Orlando Epp of Hillsboro, 440 yard dash; Norman Sanneman of Topeka and Bill Walter of Fredonia, high jump; Harold Wright of Dwight, broad jump; Jack Mitchener of Norton, pole vault; and Bill Knight of Independence, javelin throw.
Epp, who transferred here from Bethel College, broke 50 seconds for the quarter several times this spring. He has a world of speed and is regarded highly by Coach "Bill" Harriss.
Sanneman also is a transfer, having competed two years in basketball and track at Washburn College. The
Track Team In Valley Meet Next Saturday
Last meet of the season for the Kansas track team will send the Jayhawks into action at the Missouri Valley A.A.U. meet in Kansas City Saturday.
It will be the only competition of the year for the Kansas freshmen, and a number are expecting to compete. Not all of the varsity men will take part in the meet.
Entrants in the meet will include men from Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Pittsburg Teachers, Wichita University, and a number of other schools.
Kansas boys expected to make the trip are Darrell Mathes, 100 and 220 yard dashes; Don Thompson, 880 yard run; Ray Harris, mile and two mile; Jack Bellman, mile; Glenn Foy, low hurdles; J. R. Jones, broad jump; Bill Knight, javelin; and Jack O'Hara, Bill Beven, and Jack Mitchener, pole vault. Kansas will compete in two other events, the 440 yard relay and mile relay, but the entrants have not been definitely decided upon.
--lanky Topeak jumped close to 6 feet 3 at Washburn.
Glenn Cunningham may compete in the mile run. The former K.U. ace has been training rigorously and is in good shape.
Prof. P. W. Viesselman of the School of Law received notice today that his new book, "Viesselman's Cases and Materials on Trial Practice," is off the press of a Rochester, N.Y. publishing house. The book will be used by seniors in procedure classes in many law schools over the United States.
New Book Off Press
A 23 Foot Broad Jumper
Walter has leaped better than 6 feet in the high jump and has looked good in the high hurdles. Wright, a 22 foot plus jumper in high school, should be jumping 23 feet regularly next year.
Mitchener is a former state high school champion, having won the Class A pole vault while competing for Norton high. The diminutive Jayhawk vaulter looks good for at least 13 feet.
Knight is another ex-Class A champion. He hurled the javelin more than 180 feet to capture the title while competing for Independence high. In addition, he is a capable broad jumper and hurdler.
A question mark among the yearling track men is Elmont Dye, spinner from Kansas City, Mo. The former Missouri state high school sprint champion is trying to make a comeback after suffering a severe foot injury during the off-season.

Beta's Capture Sweepstakes Cup In Intramurals
By the wide margin of 140 points, Beta Theta Pi, won the Intramural Sweepstakes Cup for the fourth successive year, it was announced today by Dr. Ed Elbel. The Galloping Dominoes were second and Phi Psi third.
The Betas were the winners of touch football and softball and several of the team and individual cups in the minor sports. Their teams have been consistently among the leaders and the inevitable result was that they made the final showing a walkaway.
Other results announced yesterday were the spring sports championships. Sigma Alpha Epsilon golfers were the best in the division and went through the season undefeated.
Galloping Dominoes won both the individual and team horseshoe cups, although the championship still is in doubt. Maust and Schrader both Dominoes, will play for the individual title.
The perennial champions of handball, Beta, made no exception, and copped the title with practically no competition from the other teams.
In tennis Phi Delt won the individual cup, but lost the team cup to the Beta team.
Forty-four teams competed in the intramural program this year and it is expected that the number of individual players will near 1000.

Positions are open for two regular announcers and one stand-in to work part time. The positions are open only to men students who will be returning to the University next semester.
Applicants should register with Mildred Seaman at the Extension office, 109 Fraser before tomorrow afternoon.
Selections are made on a purely competitive basis. Each applicant will be tested before a microphone with the committee of judges listening in. The judges will be Prof Allen Crafton and Associate Professor Robert Calderwood from the speech department and Alice Moncrieff, associate Professor of voice.
Thursday is the last day for distribution of Jayhawker magazines (9 a.m. to 5 p.m., basement of Union building).
A ruling of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, received in Lawrence today, reduces the quota for the University's summer pilot training course to 60, Prof. Earl D. Hay announced.
Hind sight is often as important as foresight when driving. Learn to use your rear view mirror.
Tentatively announced yesterday at 75, the University figure was revised when the CAA decided that no school would be allotted more than 60 students for summer training.
Reduce Summer Fliers to 60
The preliminary work, in any event, will be underway by June 20, Hay said. Instructor for the summer will be Bill Ashcraft.
Professor Hay said that advanced training for five students was already started under Joe Jacobson of Kansas City. The men, Russ Chitwood, e'40; Daryl Wagner, e'40; Dwight Kurth, e'40; James Tharp, e'40; and Clyde Pace, e'40; were to have started this phase of their instruction last October, he said.
Advanced training may be given part of the 60 students who enroll for the summer course.
Thanks a lot fellows for your generous patronage this past year
Best of luck and we'll hope to see you next fall.

The Kansan Comments-- EDITORIALS ★ LETTERS ★ PATTER
After Richard MacCann's lugubrious farewell tale in the Jayhawker—the one with the "My Son, My Son" sob effects—it's going to be pretty tough to wring another tear from the students today.
So Long!
All kidding aside, this time of year does have a sobering effect. Not the "Hearts and Flowers" variety, however. Most of the sensors are glad to get out of school. Some of them are pretty disappointed over their four year attempt at an education. Some have jobs waiting. Others don't. A few have had an all-around happy time while for many it has just been plain, unadulterated work. But to most of them, their time on Mt. Oread has been well spent.
We can try, however. Yesterday we thought we saw a man and his son leaving the University campus forever. They drove slowly up the drive toward Frank Strong hall. Suddenly the son leaned out of the car and with a sob pointed toward Haworth hall. "Look, dad," the son said, "there's where I used to take geography from Professor Posey." Well, they must have thought that was pretty sad and before you could say "George the Cop!" they were crying on each other's shoulders. The car, out of control, smashed into the College office and disturbed a conference. Now, wasn't that sad? You see, it was the first time in four years that boy had ever been there.
So without letting too many tears drip, the Daily Kansan wants to bid the seniors goodbye. We've enjoyed serving you as a student paper to the best of our abilities and facilities. Come back and visit the University sometime and we'll put your name in the society columns. So long!

Sacrifice From All
Even with the necessary imposition of taxes to meet national defense needs, and the handful of industrialists placed at the disposal of the second-rate new deal cabinet, it is still difficult to become enthusiastic over the way the administration is conducting the affairs of the nation.
The proposed enactment of a tax program is promising. It means that the Washington politicians have decided to treat the people as adults instead of children. The taxes came as soon as it became apparent that public opinion was strongly in favor of everyone taking part in the burden to defend the Western Hemisphere.
The administration and Congress does not seem to realize, however, that sacrifices other than those of taxes must be made. While it is a moot question whether all the "social gains" Roosevelt insists must be maintained are gains at all, it is clear that labor as well as industry is going to have to sacrifice in the coming months.
Now that the politicians have gotten around the old superstition of voting taxes in an election year, these other things should be faced. The billions that have been voted during the
Industry will cooperate. It must or it would have to be supplanted. If longer working hours are necessary, the working man will have to work longer hours in preparing for national defense. He, too, must sacrifice.
present congressional session are only the first of many to come. Programs which are not absolutely essential must be discarded. To continue the extravagant spending that goes with New Deal "social gains" would mean that the nation would be saddled with an impossible burden—too great for a democratic people to carry.
Roosevelt and developments in the war abroad have convinced the United States that it is in danger. The United States is a country of farmers, laborers, small merchants, big industrialists—and politicians. All will have to subordinate their special interests to the task of making this country safe—or else . . .
★★★
The German Library of Information in New York might as well give up. There is absolutely so chance that their publications exonerating Nazi politics will become best-sellers here—at least not until the Stuka planes begin mistaking the Statue of Liberty for a military objective.

ROCK CHALK TALK
By Jim Bell
★ Four Years in Quandary ★
The Private Papers of a Graduating (?) Senior
(Being an overview and backward glance at a college career. No references were used. These are the things which have stood the test of time and stand out in the memory. Any resemblance to articles in "True Confessions" is purely coincidental.)
Lawrence and its bewildering campus held a strange fascination for this freshman when he arrived on a very hot day in September, 1936. There was an intense bustle of activity. Rush week was on and big, shiny cars sped up and down Tennessee street which steamed under the torrid sun. The old timers said it hadn't rained since gosh only knows when. That night it poured.
After the enrollment mess, the freshman settled down to an unhappy football season. He can remember a lonely trip to Manhattan to watch the boys take a sound beating and to envy the lads in the baggage car who knew the Jay James and could get a dance.
or
The freshman was not very happy. He knew only two people in the United States—one was in New York and the other in San Francisco. No fraternity tried to pin its pledge button on his lapel and only a few of the more democratic souls spoke to him. Among these were Bob McKay, Warren "Deacon" Anderson, and Harry Hill.
The winter was filled with sleet, a chemistry course which nearly drove him nuts, and homesickness. He did enjoy Prof. Theodore Paullin's lectures, and Prof. John Hankins taught him just about everything he knows today about the English language. The rest of the courses he took are now forgotten.
★
Things began to look up in the springtime. He went out for track and though he wasn't worth a darr he made fast (no pun intended) friends in Coach B Hargiss and Harry Wiles. Social highlights was the Sigma Chi spring party. He took a Kappa rushee, who spent the evening looking for the Beavers.
He was a veteran at the college stuff when he returned in the fall of 1937. Worldly wise, the new sophomore went through rush week with outward indifference and sophistication and inward fear. One rainy day the Delta Tau Delta boys slipped up and have regretted it ever since.
That was K.U.'s good football year. The sophomore saw the Jayhawker gang, led by the bull rushing tactics of Clarence Douglass, beat Oklahoma and Iowa State, tie Nebraska and Missouri, and loose to Kansas State. The Nebraska game at Lincoln was one of the things he will never forget. It was there he felt the thrill of being from Kansas and the spirit that belongs to K.U.
This being a big fraternity man was great stuff. His friends started calling him Joe College and he learned to drink beer. In spite of this sort of thing, he managed to hold some of his friends and even make a few new ones.
His biggest thrill came the night Kansas won the conference cage title by beating Missouri, Fred Pralle, all-American guard, won the Big Six scoring championship, and they announced over the PA system that Glenn Cunningham had run the mile in 4.04.4 at Dartmouth. It was a great night to be from KU!.
That spring he went into the department of journalism and covered the intramural softball games. The boys at the shack still kid him about the way he wrote one inch stories with his hat on the back of his head and a cigarette hanging from his lips.
In the springtime he forget school and consequently flunked geology (of all things!). He doesn't remember having learned much that year. The only thing constructive he did was to drive a car the length of the campus steering with his bare feet. He also managed to build up a 23 pipe collection and lower his grade point average about one letter.
}
★
That fall he took Modern Europe from Prof. Frank Melvin and reached the peak in his academic career. John Weatherwax was also in the class.
Just on the "brink of ruin," he found himself (?) and began to see that a fellow can't be Joe College all his life. He began to take his work on the Daily Kansan seriously and was thrilled to a purple pok-a-dot when he was appointed makeup editor.
The football season was a big success—Kansas whaled the living daylights out of Kansas State in what pre-game dope had called a breather for the Aggies.
He had his case of "sophomoritis" (that anti-social disease which most second year fraternity men catch) one year late and set out to drink all the beer in Kansas, as a new junior in the fall of 1938.
Springtime bloomed better than ever before and Dean Nelson spent the better part of his time warning the Junior that if he cut class just one more time, he would leave this time honored institution. Bob Stoland and Ray Harris led the Kansas track team through the first thing that resembled a successful season in years.
In the winter he sadly learned Kansas, minus the Great Praille not invulnerable in Big Six ketball circles. He was compensated to some extent when he learned that Schiller Shore was a real live person and not a fictious character
★
He began his senior year not realizing how soon the whole (Continued on page seven)

intentions (praise America, kids) are nevertheless to be commended.
Speaking of the library, how many of you, despite all the time you have spent there in recent days, know the room number of the reserve room. To save you a trip which curiosity certainly would demand, it's 101.
Alan (Diddle) Asher, the legal eagle of the Journal-World and the School of Law, bustled up the Hill this morning to take a final at 8:30. He discovered, upon arriving, that the exam was scheduled for this afternoon. Diddle said it was the first time in seven years at the University he had "ever done anything like that."
The Chi Omega's, of course, aren't all in such a state of desperation. But Martha Jean Jessen explains her predicament as follows: "If I ever get a man, I'll have to grab anape and wait for evolution." The same crack was pulled on the Charlie McCarthy program, but Vera Vague of the radio didn't have the Beta's as material for her anthropoid snatching.
Several art students, and many who haven't wandered in the world of brush and easel, are commenting about the anaemic color combination now being applied to the outside of Brynwood place (Alumni place.) Best suggestion is that they trim the house in dark brown.
Lots of students find themselves in uninviting messes at final time. George Russel, however, gets the consolation prize this spring. He said when he went to take his badminton final he didn't know a bird
Take your choice, but don't pay our money department: The Allies say they lost only 30,000 men in the Flanders affair. The Germans say 1,200,000 Allies were lost. Time may tell, if the propagandaists won't.
From this cockpit, the students
who have enrolled for the summer pilot training appear to be just "fair weather" flyers. Still, this is still Kansas and you can't tell about the elements.
Note to S.S.: No, they are NOT going to build fences along the route of march from Frank Strong to the stadium to keep Commencement couples from detouring into the grove on the way.
Moreau Attends Topeka Meeting of Bar Group
The meeting was in charge of James E. Brenner, professor of Law at Stanford University. This year the section is studying legal education in respect to Bar examinations.
F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, attended the meeting of the section on Legal Education of the American Bar Association, in Topeka, last night.

Rock Chalk---thing would be past history. He actually began to go to the library now and then to absorb atmosphere.
The football team wasn't so hot. Everytime he went to memorial Stadium, he expected to see Kansas swamp opponents, but each time he went away waiting for next week. He did see Ralph Miller and Jakie Fry play some good football.
In the winter season he saw one of the greatest of Kansas basketball teams. The Pony Express led by Bob Allen, Dick Harp, Don Ebling, Ralph Miller, Howard Engleman, John Kline, and Bruce Voran, burned up the conference and missed being national champions by one game.
Now he sits waiting for those post cards to come through the mail. If they haven't any red marks on them, he will join the rest of the fellows who walked up Fourteenth street

Commencement Program Includes Three Forums
An aspect of the Commencement program this year which is open to alumni, students and friends of the University will be a series of three forums.
The first of the three forums, which will be held Saturday. June 8, at 3:30 p.m., will be held on a different basis this year, according to E. O. Stene, assistant professor of political science and chairman of the Commencement forum committee.
There will be no single lectures as this meeting, Stene explains, but the program will be a panel discussion by Professors John Ise, and H. B. Chubb and Dr. L. S. Powell of Lawrence. The three will discuss among themselves "America Looks at Europe's War" and then will open the meeting to questions from the audience.
Prof. Allen Crafton's new Hill movie production, "Far Above the Golden Valley," will be shown in Hoch auditorium Sunday afternoon for the second forum program. The showing will start at 3:30 p.m.
Monday, June 10, at the same time,
"Industrial Development in Kansas"
will be the topic of discussion for Prof. R. C. Moore, director of the
State Geological Survey, Prof. W. C. McNown and John H. Ruckman, industrial engineer of Topeka who has conducted two surveys for the Topeka Chamber of Commerce. Moore's address will be "Natural Resources Available in Kansas" while McNown will speak on "Experiments in Special Building Materials." Ruckman will give an address on Industrial

KANSAS
The vision of Kansas pioneers has come to pass...the state they founded has become a neighborhood of friendly communities.
Thanks to a state-wide network of good highways, towns are only hours instead of days apart.
And . . thanks to a state-wide network of nearly a million miles of telephone wire . . . the voice distance between Kansas towns and

cities has been reduced to seconds.
State-wide telephone service in Kansas assures you of good telephone service in your own town. It also assures you of good telephone service in other Kansas towns. But most important of all, state-wide telephone service in Kansas makes it possible for you to reach, or to be reached by, anyone, practically anywhere, at any time.
