Reich Claims Greatest Sea Success
By JOE ALEX MORRIS
United Press Foreign News Editor Germany today claimed her greatest sea success of the war—the sinking of 161,000 tons of British shipping, including at least 110,000 tons from a single convoy attacked by undersea raiders yesterday.
Importance of the German High Command's claim of submarine successes—if correct—lay in the fact that the single day's losses recorded in Berlin amount to almost double the sea losses admitted in London for the most recent week on which figures are available—the week of Nov. 24. For that week the British Admiralty today reported loss of 19 British and three neutral vessels with total tonnage of 87,975 tons.
The claim was scoffed at in London and aroused considerable curiosity in neutral quarters. However, there appeared no doubt that Nazi pressure against Britain's ocean life-lines was tightening.
German air raiders smashed hard again at Bristol, Western British port through which many overseas shipments enter.
From Greece came reports of New Greek successes and Italy admitted Royal Air Force attacks upon Naples and Augusta, Sicily.
Raiders Hit Bristol
The Berlin high command claimed that 15 merchant ships of a single convoy were sent to the bottom yesterday as well as an accompanying escort cruiser. It gave the tonnage of these ships as 110,000 and said two more ships of 15,000 tons may have been sunk. It reported other sinkings which it said brought the total to 161,000 tons.

The unusual feature of the Germain claim was that it was asserted (continued to page eight)
Seniors May Take Final Health Exams
NO. 52
Seniors may now make their appointments at Watkins Memorial hospital for a final physical examination, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, announced today. Those who are to be graduated in February should report immediately. Canuteson said.
These examinations have been offered to seniors for the past three years as a part of the health service's program of health education and improvement. They are given to the students to evaluate changes in their physical conditions since their entrance examinations. Other purposes for the examinations are to determine

No School Yesterday--- Nebraska Fans Riot Over Rose Bowl Bid
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 3—(UP)—This city continues to celebrate what it considers the biggest moment since the territory of Nebraska became one of the 48 states.
Nebraska's football team has been asked to the Rose Bowl and not one citizen has, since the invitation came from Pasadena, failed to show his appreciation. $ ^{2} $
For more than 24 hours factory whistles have been blowing. For more than 24 hours the streets have been choked with parades of students, bands, housewives, business men, moppets, tots and what have you.
There was no school at Nebraska U. yesterday. The students yanked down the order of business from the bulletin board, shouted through the chancellor's window, and started parading through the streets to the tune of "California, Here we Come."
They bounded over the "keep of the grass" signs at the $10,000,000 capitol, swarmed through the marble legislative halles, ruffled the sombre dress of the state supreme
court dignitaries, and demanded that the governor come from his stately chambers and lead the singing of "There Is No Place Like Nebraska."
Earlier, when the invitation to play Stanford in the Rose Bowl was only a few hours old, they charged the home of the Nebraska coach, Major Biff Jones. He appeared at a bedroom window in his pajamas and gave the rally his blessing.
"Come on and join us," the thousands of students and townsfolk shouted, "We're up for the night and celebrating."
The Major pulled on a pair of pants, wrapped himself in a topcoat and went out for the night.
Board To Name Air Corps Men
Senior students interested in joining the U. S. Air Corps, were interviewed today at Watkins Memorial hospital by a special traveling flying cadet examining board.
Sophomore and junior students who plan to terminate their enrollment at the University at the end of the present semester were interviewed by this board upon recommen- continued on page eight.
NOTICE
Schedules and plans for the year will be discussed and there will be special announcements for the freshman team. Jim Report, swimming coach, also said that practice schedules for those present would be arranged.
Washburn Merger Plan Still Rumor
At eight o'clock tonight in the K-room in Robinson Gymnasium, the first meeting of all students interested in competing for the freshman and varsity swimming teams will be held.
(continued to page eight)
No official suggestions, either directly or indirectly concerning the establishment of a University of Kansas branch at Topeka to aid the Washburn Law School, have come to the administration here, it was announced today.
The report that such a merger had been proposed to school officials emanated from a bulletin issued recently by the Topeka chamber of commerce, but, according to the administration, there has been no interview between University officails and any official Washburn representative.
A proposed merger is being advocated by certain Topeka persons since Washburn college accounts show that school to be facing a financial crisis. Such a consolidation would set Washburn up as a branch of the University of Kansas, probably the School of Law division. Additional proposals include the creation of an Industrial Research Bureau at Washburn similar to the Mellon Institute at Pittsburg. At a recent meeting of the industrial committee of the state Chamber of Commerce such a proposal was not favored, however, since industrial research is being carried on by Kansas and Kansas State and it is felt no additional work in this direction is necessary.

Thursday Concert in Hoch Has Audience Appeal
By ED GARICH

-alias Little Boy Blues
The University Symphony Orchestra will throw in everything but bank night and a free set of dishes in Hoch auditorium at 8 o'clock Thursday evening when it presents what should be a history-making fall concert.
perhaps Gershwin's most outstanding work.
The program will be outstanding not only from the audience-appeal aspect, with George Geargshwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," featuring piano solo and modern dance group, but from the purely good music angle as well, with a performance of Richard Strauss' symphonic poem, "The Merry Pranks of Till Eulenspiegel."
FREDERIC L. MEYER
The Gershwin number is familiar in a simpler form to all who have ever listened to Paul Whiteman and orchestra, whose them it is, and the Strauss number is familiar to anyone who has ever dabbled at all in the classics. "Rhapsody in Blue" is
The Strauss number is, in the words of Prof. Karl O. Kuersteiner, director of the orchestra, "as close to Richard Strauss' masterpiece as any of his works." This particular Strauss, who is still living, is generally recognized as the foremost practitioner of the symphonic poem, and "Till" is one of his best. Written in a humorous vein, it supposedly depicts the antics of the village cut-up.
"Rhapsoody in Blue" will feature the ivory-coaxing of Loren Witers, fine arts senior, and five dancers of the Alice Sherbion Concert Dance group.
Also featured on the program will be Maurice Ravel's unorthodox
Kuersteiner says, "It's the biggest thing we've ever tried." The composition is difficult and rarely found in the repertory of college orchestras.

Clinton Can't Play; Hop Date Changed
Larry Clinton and his orchestra will not play the scheduled Sophomore Hop, Dec. 14, Dance Manager Fred Litttooy, announced today. The date for the Hop has been postponed to Jan. 11 when some other "name" band will appear on the Union bandstand.
According to a wire received by Littloy last Thursday from Clinton's booking agents, they were not able to make contracts for any other dances in this territory and could not sign for only the one dance here.
"It is not true," said Littooy, "that Larry Clinton broke his contract with us. We had made all the preliminary arrangements between the University and the booker and with the band by wire. However, the actual contracts had not been signed, as they naturally would not have been until Clinton booked other dates in this territory.
Littooy added that it was most unusual that the band failed to make other contracts in Topeka, Kansas City, or Wichita. It is the first time a situation like this has been experienced here.
Persons who have already purchased tickets to the Hop will have their money refunded at the business office. This will be the only place where the tickets will be refunded. A new set of pasteboards will be issued soon for the postponed performance of the Hop.
Fill Last Role In 'Cradle Song'
One role in the new Dramatic Club play "Cradle Song" opening in Fraser theater a week from tonight was left open until last Sunday when Wallace Kunkel'. college sophomore, was chosen as the poet. This is the unusual role of an orator who, between the two acts of the play, recites a long interlude poem.
This device, as in the prologue or epilogue, is often used by authors to explain certain parts of the action or to set the mood of the play. When Martines Sierra wrote "Cradle Song" he divided the action into two parts with an interlude in the form of a poem to be given by a male actor.
Since it was first brought to this country some twenty years ago, "Cradle Song" has been one of the most popular and best-loved plays regularly given in Amreka. Every season sees many university and (continued to page eight)

Cases in point might be selected at random: Clark Gable, for instance was smubbqd by Hollywood's scouts because his cars were too large. Clark had to go away, return in a stage play before they could consider him. Mary Martin had nothing to offer as far as movie producers were concerned. She too had to wander far afield, make a hit on Broadway, before the films noticed her.
If a figurative pin were stuck in the midst of a glittering movie premiere it would more than likely strike some famous personality who refused to be laid low by Hollywood.

Film Capitol Called 'Heartbreak Town'
Hollywood, Dec. 3- (UP) The origin of one of the most famous geographical names in the world, Hollywood, has long since lost its meaning, but if the nature of a town means anything, this capitol of glamour should be known as "Heartbreak Town."
Hollywood has an unconscionable habit of picking them up and laying them down. The virus of Hollywood is a persistent fever and the victims always come back for more. subsequently were signed by
And this applies to others besides actors. Oscar Serlin, brilliant young Broadway producer of "Life With Father," served several sluggish terms as a producer at various major studios on minor pictures. He got tired of waiting for his long-promised break, quit Hollywood, produced his smash hit and then sat back and chuckled as the offers began pouring in from "Heartbreak Town."
Then there is the case of the two leading men in support of Ginger Rogers in "Kitty Foyle" at RKO Radio—Dennis Morgan and James Craig.
Both came to "Heartbreak Town" several years ago, but gave up the struggle for recognition, left the movies flat, took up stage careers and

But it's this stubborn refusal to be relegated to minor work that eventually turns up the real starring material in Heartbreak Town. It's the ordeal of Hollywood.
Since the two judges, Horace Mason and Rex Cowan, anticipate a great number of ties, a drawing will be held on the stage and the winners selected by this method. First prize winner will receive either $25 in cash or a season pass to all Lawrence theaters good at any time during the coming year. The remaining prizes total $50 in theater tickets with second prize being a six months season pass.
At 9 o'clock tonight on the stage of the Jayhawker Theater the winners of the football picture contest will be announced by Stan Schwain, manager of all Lawrence theaters.

Plans For Marvin Hall Add A Conference Room
Newest of the re-decorating ideas progressing in Marvin hall is the conference room added to Dean J. J. Jakosky's suite of offices. Other rooms being renovated include the dean's office, the chief freshman adviser's office, and the offices of the dean's secretaries.
The new conference room is to be used by faculty members and by visiting representatives of various employment agencies and companies. It is a practice of the larger industrial corporations to send representatives
The new conference room is to be and by visiting representatives of var and companies. It is a practice of the tions to send representatives here to interview senior students who desire employment upon graduation. These representatives need a private office for interviews.
Prof. F. A. Russell, in conjunction with Dean Jakosky and faculty members of the engineering school, maintains an appointment service for students as well as for graduates.
Usually the company representatives arrive during the spring semester, but this year, due to the demand for technical men, the representatives have been calling at any time. "There is no question," Dean Jakosky said, "but all students in engineering and allied sciences will have numerous chances for jobs this year."

Face Texas in Official Opener
Coach Jack Gray's Texas team won the conference championship that year and failed by only one point of repeating last year. In the game for the title last season. Rice eked out a one-point victory over the Long- horns.
First of Two Cage Battles In Hoch Monday
Intersectional warfare will assure a sizzling start for Dr. Forrest C. Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers as they make their first scheduled basketball appearance of the year Monday night, opening a two game series powerful Texas University in Hoch auditorium.
The series will pit Dr. F. C. Allen's cagers against a highly rated Longhorn outfit. The quality of basketball played in the Southwest has been improving by leaps and bounds in the last several years and soon should be on a level with that played anywhere else in the country.
Against Southwest conference teams last year, Dr. Allen's team won three games and lost none. Southern Methodist was defeated in a pair of games at Lawrence and Rice fell before the Jayhawks in the National Collegiate tournament at Kansas City.
Texas demonstrated the new basketball strength of that section two years ago at Austin, when the best the Jayhawks could do was a split in two games with the Longhorns.
Outstanding characteristic of Southwest teams is the size and ruggedness of their players. Texas will be up to standard in this respect.
In an effort to partially offset the Texans' size advantage, Coach Allen is considering moving Marvin Sollenberger, husky sophomore, into the starting lineup.
Sollenberger, who played a year at Hutchinson Junior College, is a guard weighing 184 pounds. He showed considerable promise on the freshman team last year and may supplant Bob Johnson, 165 pound junior guard.
The remainder of the starting lineup probably will include Howard Engleman and Bill Hogben, forwards; Bob Allen, center, and John Kline, guard.
Chis Down Psis In 'B' Grid Title
Gaining revenge for last year's defeat in the championship game, Sigma Chi "B" downed Phi Kappa Psi "B" 7 to 0 to win the 1940 sixman football title. Last year the Phi Psi's won from this same Sigma Chi team in the finals 12-2.
Bob Eidson, ace Sigma Chi back, passed to Bob Brown 10 yards for the Sigma Chi touchdown and winning margin. The tally came in the second quarter. King and Eidson were standouts for the new champs while Powell and Horner starred for the losers.
Intramural Basketball Wars Open Thursday

The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS BOOKS
COLD shoulders have developed, the past two or three years, in some Hill fraternity and sorority houses, because of front doors kept open to receive visiting convention delegates.
'OPEN DOOR' POLICY?
Those with the cold shoulders have sought to remedy the situation by closing the doors. An example of this lack of hospitality is the recent ruling by the women's Panhellenic body that no organized house on this campus shall be asked to keep delegates of conventions meeting on the Hill.
One of the University football coaches speaking before a group of students this fall, asked that K.U. men and women be more active in influencing high school athletes to attend the University. He said also that an indifferent attitude on the part of the student body has been responsible for the loss of many high school athletes to other schools.
This rule will be a serious handicap to the delegates to high school conventions and contests, many of whom are prospective students of the University of Kansas. Conventions have depended on fraternity and sorority houses to keep their delegates. The only places now available for them are hotels and rooming houses.
Most of the high schools in Kansas are not able to pay all the expenses of their students attending conventions. Most of them feel, too, that it is unfair to ask the student to pay a high price for the trip. It is possible that some of the conventions which have been held here will be held somewhere else in the future or will not be held at all.
Entertaining guests eight or ten weekends during the year would seem to be a small way to cooperate with officials in attracting students to the University. It would also seem to be a matter of common courtesy.
GERM BOMBS AT HOME
FEATURE articles frequently claim that a new weapon in modern warfare will be the use of bacteria. However, germs and bacteria have always played a major role in war. Germs are recognized by military authorities as the most destructive force in the whole gruesome business of warfare.
It is not necessary to load bombs with bacteria or to release deadly viruses behind enemy lines to spread disease and pestilence among soldier and civilian populations alike. Disease bombs are already planted wherever a relatively large percentage of the people are ill-clad, ill-fed, and ill-housed.
Before the end of the World War, pestilence was sweeping over Europe and even reaching out to the United States. The 1918 pandemic of influenza killed about 20,000,000 persons throughout the world—7,000,000 more than the combined military deaths of all the belligerent armies. Thirty thousand American soldiers who never saw battle died of influenza in army camps on American soil. Thousands of civilians in this country also perished.
When war breaks out, these bombs burst. Hastily constructed and often poorly equipped military camps absorb large concentrations of men. Civilian life is disrupted, and increased hardship and deprivation is forced upon the population.
Common sense, as well as concern for the public welfare, demands that every possible
measure to strengthen and safeguard public health be taken immediately.
Recently Congress refused to authorize the appropriation of a relatively small sum which would have allowed the United States Public Health Service to assist local health authorities in communities where new army camps are being located. Dr. Warren F. Draper, assistant surgeon general, says that present local health staffs in these areas can meet the problem only by working 18 hours a day.
In our rush to pour money into the magic mass-production machines that turn out armament for military preparedness, we must not forget the incidental, but necessary things that make for complete national preparedness.

'What Price Food' Or 'Dorms Report'
How much does it cost to feed a college man for a month? The answer is—a lot less than is commonly assumed.
A current statement issued by the University Dormitory Operating committee shows that it costs $10.06 to feed the average college man. This was determined by a cross section taken from the 118 men who live in the three new mens' dormitories, Battenfeld, Carruth, and Templin.
Since the University has never before had any official connection with the actual operation of any dormitories for men, no has ever before been $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $
Since the University has nection with the actual operation estimate has ever before been made public as to the cost of providing room and board for men here on the Hill. The report on the cost of operation of Battenfeld, Carruth, and Templin Halls from Oct.1 to Nov.1, also include some other interesting facts in addition to those relative to the cost of food.
The total operating cost for all three dormitories, which house 118 men, for one month was officially announced as $1.646.59. This includes the salaries for the two house mothers and the proctors (male students who have direct charge of the houses). The total cost to each man for room and board for one月 is $14.06.
The statement also debunked the
ancient house-mainainer's cry of excessive public utility costs. The average college man uses approximately 16 cents worth of water during a month,93 cents worth of electricity,and 48 cents worth of heating fuel.
On sale over the country for the next three weeks will be the Christmas seals of the National Tuberculosis association. In Douglas county 75 per cent of the money collected will be used by the Douglas County Tuberculosis association for local tuberculosis relief.
Tuberculosis Seal Fund Helps Local Sufferers
Thus, the new University-sponsored mens' dormitories completed their first full month well onto the black side of the ledger. If the average cost keeps at the present low level, the 118 men who live in the three dorms will get a sizable rebate at the end of the second semester of this school year. The present monthly charge for each man is now $18. A monthly saving of $3 would mean a probable rebate of $27 to each dorm student in the spring.
The beginning of the thirty-fourth annual campaign against a disease which kills almost 175 people every day in the United States will start this week.
Last year more than 330 people took advantage of the tuberculosis clinic at the Lawrence Memorial hospital, which has a fluoroscope purchased from funds collected in the
local campaign.
In addition tuberculin tests for over 1000 school children and adults from this vicinity were made possible by funds obtained from last year's sale of Christmas seals.
K. U.'s version of wrong-way Corrigan is Warren Frowe. The other day he took off from the Lawrence airport, did a quick rehearsal of acrobatic tricks in the air, then started looking for the landing field again. But the wind (that's his story) had carried him so far that he was over not Lawrence but Lancaster, 50 miles away. He landed and phoned for rescue.
ROCK CHALK TALK
At the Gamma Phi house the girls were discussing Mary Milsom's clothes bill, which she said ran up to several hundred dollars. That night in the dorm one of the sisters broke the silence with, "Five hundred dollars! If my folks had that much money they'd get married."
We thought Reginald Buxton, Sour Owl editor, was as well known on the campus as the nightshirt parade. But the other night when Walt Loudon said, "... and Buxton . . ." his date chirped, "Buxton! Who is she?"
Pepper, the Delta Chi dog, is getting social-minded. Since Alpha Delta Pi has decided to put on the dog by giving him a bid to their party, his many valets are now dreaming up a tuxedo for their socialite canine.
Winfred Nash is not so pennywise. When he heard about the offer of one pint size lamp for two cake flour box tops plus one cent, he immediately bought the flour, for which he has no use, and began to give friends a pep talk on the virtue of sending lamps to mothers.
Library pitfall for Will Mansfield is the Kappa table. He just doesn't seem to be able to keep away from those pledges, but he is able to keep the pledges away from their books.
If Hal Ruppenthal's right hand knew what his left hand was doing yesterday morning, it must have felt sorry. Because when he went out to fly he had no gloves, took socks instead, almost froze anyway.

Sherbon To Dance 'Rapsody In Blue'
Miss Alice Sherbon, who with her concert dance group will be featured with the University of Kansas symphony orchestra, Thursday, in Hoch Auditorium, is the daughter of Dr. Florence Sherbon, professor of Home Economics at the University.
Miss Sherbon, who attended the University in 1929 and '30, has composed her own solo section, designed the costumes for the entire group, and is responsible for the entire arrangement of the dance, "Rhappys in Blue", which will feature five soloists; John Cross, Marjorie Perry, Juanita Priest, Alice Sherbon, and Frederick Rogers.
In writing of this dance Miss Sherbon says:
"No effort has been made to interpret the music. I believe it is complete in itself and needs no interpretation. Each member of the audience is free to interpret it in terms of his or her own experience."
"When starting to work on the dance, "Rhapsody in Blue", I decided that the first step was to find everything possible that had been written about the music. The following seems to sum up the various opinions."
Tracy To Speak At A.A.U.P.Meet
The annual meeting of the American Association of University Professors will be held tomorrow night at 6 o'clock in the English room of the Memorial Union building.
Dinner will be saved and a business meeting will follow. Reports of the officers and committees will be given and delegates will be elected for the national convention which is to be held in Chicago Dec. 30 and 31.
H. C. Tracy, professor of anatomy will speak on the "Proposed Reorganization of the United States Senate."
E. O. Stene, assistant professor of political science, will give a talk on the "Proposed Pension Plan for Five State Education Institution."
Dinner reservations may be secured from E. L. Treece, professor of bacteriology.
THURSDAY'S CONCERT--ten about the music. The following seems to sum up the various opinions."
(continued from page one)
"Bolero." This striking twentieth century composition uses a motif which is repeated in increasing volume to the end of the piece. This number has been called everything from "sadistic" and "cheap" to "unbelievable" by musical authorities. Regardless of expert opinion, it remains a favorite of concert-goers in the United States.
Completing the program will be the "Euryanthe" oveture, (Weber), and a group of five numbers of the novelty variety, "The Music Box" (Liasoff), "Pavanne from American Symphonette No. 2" (Gould), "Perpetual Motion" (Strauss), "The Beautiful Blue Danube Waltzes" (Strauss), and "Indian War Dance" (Skilton). The two Strauss numbers are by a different Strauss than the one who wrote "Till," being Johann (Waltz King) Strauss, an earlier member of that musical family.
The "Pavane" will be conducted by Eugene Crabb, fine arts senior and assistant conductor of the orchestra, and "Perpetual Motion" will be conducted by Richard Rice, fine arts senior, who conducted its playing on the children's concert of the orchestra a few weeks ago.
"Typically of and for Americans. Urban in its background. Rural in its remotest origins. Nervous as a stock broker. Hurried as New York. Gaudy as Hollywood. Colorful as a neon sign. Insinuatingly clever as a politician."
"The color blue, which is the predominate theme of the dance, is used because; "Blue is masculine. Blue in its brightest intensities has a drawing quality, power to hold the eye dramatically. In its lighter hues, blue has a restful quality. Blue is a cold, melancholy color."
"These ideas," says Miss Sherbon, "were considered as a starting point with the dancers as an additional set of instruments woven into the orchestration of "Rhapody in Blue."
Physician Siebert To Serve With US Medical Corps
Dr. Norman C. Siebert, University athletic physician since September received notice recently, that he will be called to active duty with the U.S. army medical corps on or about Jan. 1.
Siebert became a first Lt. in the medical reserve in Sept., 1939. He joined the student hospital staff this fall and in addition to his regular duties there, he has been attending physician for the athletes. He will continue his work with the basketball team until he leaves.
He has not been informed as yet,
where he will be sent.

Into Kansas Telephone Pay Envelopes Goes $4,000,000 a Year
Telephone costs have been growing rapidly and wages have caused a share of this increase. This year, for example, the wages paid the men and women who operate and maintain the telephone service in some 150 Kansas towns and cities this company serves represent nearly half of the cost of providing the service.
Good wages are vital to good telephone service, but the fact remains that increasing wages are in part responsible for increasing costs. And in spite of better methods and constant economies on the job, the cost of furnishing telephone service has been increasing at a faster rate than this company's revenue in Kansas.
Four million dollars lastyear went into the pay envelopes of more than three thousand employees of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Kansas—wages to operators, to linemen and repairmen, to.others in the far-flung brigade of telephone men and women in Kansas.

This is to protect the U-boats from enemy submarine hunters which might overhear the submarine's signals and locate the position. The German High Command offered no explanation as to how it had obtained the detailed report on submarine operations so quickly.

SENIORS MAY TAKE----
Doctor Canuteson said that students should have on file recent data on their physical condition to offer when making applications for positions.
Recommended for examinations are: A recheck of the general physical examination; blood examination, including a Wassermann test; urine examination.
A repetition of the tuberculin test if it was negative previously; x-ray of chest again if the tuberculin test was positive; a Schick test to determine immunity to diphtheria and immunization if the test is positive; small pox vaccination if not successfully vaccinated in the past three years; typhoid immunization if not immunized during the past three years; other tests indicated on the basis of findings on the physical examination.

mendation of the Chancellor. Undergraduates were being included in the list of those eligible for examination due to requests of many college authorities in the seventh corps area who contemplate the loss of junior students due to the selective service law.
Lieut. Col. Theodore J. Koenig, of Langley Field, Virginia, heads the examining board. Names of those selected will not be known until the board meets at four o'clock this afternoon, he said, but that up until 1 o'clock only a small number of students had been interviewed.
Students selected will be called to a nine-month period of service about six weeks after they are interviewed. They will go either to St. Louis or Oklahoma where they will remain during the first three months as flying cadets.
Requirements for entry into the corps is a minimum of two years college education, its equivalent, or 50 percent of the credits necessary for graduation.
While in training the student receives a regular salary. The army flying schools are situated in localities where the climate has been found generally favorable for yearround flying, thus reducing the amount of time lost by bad weather. The course of instruction as a fly-
mg cadet at present requires nine months, including three months' elementary, three months' basic and three months' advanced training. This instruction, in addition to the flying training, includes courses in navigation, meteorology, radio, and other subjects allied with military aviation.
Upon completion of the three months' elementary training under supervision of the army at the civil flying school, the flying cadet is sent to Randolph Field, Texas, for a three months' additional instruction and, upon graduation therefrom, to Kelly Field, Texas, for the final three months' training.
The course of training includes approximately 215 hours in the air, during which time the student receives instruction in all maneuvers necessary to pilot military airplanes. In addition to pilot training, the student also pursues academic work in specialized military subjects.
As the physical condition of flyers is of primary importance, special attention is paid to the health of flying cadets. Not only is physical exercise a part of the curriculums, but facilities are provided for flying cadets to engage in various forms of recreation to enable them to maintain a good physical condition.
All women who wish to check their W.A.A. points should send their names into the women's physical education office immediately.

Big Six Moguls To Meet in K.C.
Nebraska, a staunch opponent of bowl games in the past and now a Rose Bowl participant, will have to explain her change of attitude to Big Six coaches, athletic directors, and faculty representatives when they meet in Kansas City, Mo., Friday and Saturday with other important business hanging fire.
By MILO FARNETI
The moot point of Nebraska accepting the Rose Bowl bid and getting conference permission after voting against Oklahoma and Missouri participation in the Orange Bowl in 1938 and 1939 will not come in for much discussion officially at the meeting, but may
clear the way for opening negotiations with some other conference for future New Year's Day bowl games.
This desire of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri to schedule a bowl game between the Big Six and another strong conference has a logical reason. Other conferences are favoring bowl commitments. If the Big Six does not act quickly, it may find itself without any "bowl" to eat from.
Big Ten faculty representatives meet in Chicago Saturday to decide if their champion shall meet the Pacific Coast champion annually in the Rose Bowl. On their decision hinges the bowl plans of all the colleges in the country. The Big Ten is recognized as the leader in football legislation and is widely initiated by smaller conferences.
If the Big Ten decides affirmatively, other conferences will follow the leader by making similar

Valley Debaters Here In March
Debate teams representing 11 schools in the Missouri Valley Forensic organization will hold their annual tournament at the University in March. The tournament question, which has just been released is "Resolved: That the United States should have conscription of capital in the event of war."
The last time that Kansas played host to such a meet was in 1934.
The Missouri Valley Forensic organization is a debate league on the order of the Big Six. The organization includes the Universities of Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Creighton, Iowa State and Kansas State.

With today's issue of the Kansan, Don Pierce becomes sports editor for the winter sports season. He succeeds Bob Trump who is now campus editor of the Kansan.
Pierce, who last week climaxed his four years of football at the University by being named honorary pivot man on four or five All-Big Six teams, will write a daily column, "As We See It," beginning today on the sports page.

Malott Stresses Dangers to U.S.
That Americans must recognize the external and internal dangers which face the United States today, and realize their duty toward resisting these dangers, was the plan for action set forth by Chancellor Deane W. Malott in a speech at the annual parish meeting of the St. Andrew's Episcopal church in Kansas City, Mo., last night.
Addressing the largest crowd ever assembled at a parish meeting, the Chancellor spoke of the dictatorial regimes existing in Europe today as "enforced gangsterism" and pointed out that "our gravest responsibility would come after the fighting in Europe had ended when we would be called upon not only to furnish physical assistance to a prostrate Europe but to offer an alternative to Hitlerism."
In closing, Chancellor Malott declared that if the American people contribute enough toil and sweat to ridding the world of dictatorial governments, they can, perhaps, escape the blood and tears that England now endures.

Bob Marietta, first year law, has been named to the Student Supreme Court by the Progressive Student Government League to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Wilbur Leonard, second year law.
Here's That Roque--awhile, but Till doesn't want to get in a rut.
There are no cases on the court docket at present according to Bill Kandt, senior law, chief justice of the court. However the court is expected to consider in the near future about 10 parking violation cases.
The addition of Marietta still gives the five-man court a 100 per cent law school representation. The other members besides Marietta and Kandt are Moe Ettenson, senior law, and Harry Wiles, second year law, both Pachacamacs, and Curtis Burton, first year law, and the other P.S.G.L.

Symphony To Stage Eulenspiegel's Pranks
(continued to page eight)
You may or may not be acquaintée already with Till. You should be, because back in the fifteenth century he was the life of the party. The story of his pranks was recorded in a symphonic poem by Richard Strauss. Till was a cut-up, always in trouble. The story picks him up as he decides to ride old Dobbin through the village market place, where he scares the geese away honking and makes the peasant women spill their cranberries.
Donald Duck, Dopey, and Pinocchio all had their day. Tomorrow night another fictitious rogue, Till Eulenspiegel, will have a fling at public favor when introduced by the University of Kansas symphony orchestra in its annual winter concert in Hoch auditorium.
His next brainstorm is to dress in monk's robes, solemnly smug, and bless people. This is all right for
Drama now comes to him by way of a beautiful blonde. Till falls hard for her. He thinks he is doing all right, until the affair comes to a showdown and she jits him.

British Need Of Aid Near
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor
American ships and perhaps economic aid appeared imminent for Great Britain today to offset an Axis onslaught by bomber squadrons and U-boats against key industries and overseas supply lines of the British Isles.
A program for speeding greater assistance to Britain was worked out at Washington by Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., as dispatches from Europe told of a spreading offensive against Britain, with air attacks on at least five industrial centers, and plans for Nazi submarines to operate "in packs like wolves" against British shipping.
Report Italians Falling Back
The Greeks reported that Italians on the north front appeared to be falling back farther in the Lake Ochrida sector, but a strong trench position still was held by a rear guard on the road toward Elbasan.
On the south front, according to dispatches from the battle lines, fighting proceeded in snow storms and along the coast, in marshes where there was deep mud and muck.
Balkan Tension Relaxes
Elsewhere in the Balkans the threat of serious immediate explosions seemed to be lessened. In Rumania, a government decree empowered authorities to take over all pipe lines and accessories of oil companies and to seize all Jewish shipping.
In the Far East, warfare continued unofficially between Siam (Thailand) and French Indo-China, with the Siamese reporting they had destroyed a French transport ship that attempted to land troops on the Siamese side of the Mekhong river. According to reports at Bangkok, many lives were lost in the engagement.
Churchill Says No To Armistice
London, Dec. 4. — (UP) — Prime Minister Winston Churchill's refusal to propose or agree to a Christmas armistice still stands despite the appeal of Pope Pius, authoritative quarters said today.
Churchill's "no" of last week was described authoritatively as his "last word." There is nothing, from prevent belligerents from refraining from military operations during the Christmas season, it was said.
It was said that Germany had strewn the seas and land with mines and time bombs which no agreement could prevent exploding.
In authorizing a shift in Christmas Eve masses from midnight to early afternoon in order to meet the blackout regulations in nations at war, the Pontiff expressed hope that voluntarily or by agreement the belligerent nations would agree to a tuletide truce.
The Pope's appeal, contained in a letter to bishops, followed by nearly a week Churchill's rejection in the House of Commons of Christmas armistice suggestions. The Pope's appeal was not directed specifically to any belligerent state.
Italians Claim Greeks Halted
Rome, Dec. 4 — (UP) — Greeks launched numerous attacks, supported by artillery, but were unable to crack the Italian lines on the Albanian front, the High Command communique said today.
The Italians then counter attacked.
It said that an Italian submarine torpedoed a British destroyer in the Atlantic last Sunday; that Italian planes struck two British cruisers with aerial torpedoes in Suda bay, off northern Crete; that Italian planes shot down six Greek planes of the PZL type near Tirana, Albanian capital.
The communique read:
"On the Greek front repeated attacks by numerous enemy units supported by heavy artillery preparations were held by the stubborn resistance of our troops, which also vigorously counter-attacked.
"Our air formations supported action of the land forces with violent bombings, especially in the zone west of Erseke (Central front.) The ports of Preveza and St. Maura (Greece) were successfully attacked by our bombers.

Silly Style Claims Men's Hats This Year
Men have always had to put up with some rather "wacky" feminine hats, but this season the tables are turned. Reports from New York stylists show that men are going in for extremes.
One style shows the influence of our close relations with South America. The Guatemalan band, woven by the Mayan Indians in nature colors, is making a tento
Even automobiles are having their influence on men's chapeau. The two-toned motor car featured at the automobile shows this year brought out a two-toned felt with crown and brim in contrasting colors.
To top it all off, there are "he and she hats." Men must be going distinctly feminine, for these are twin hats—one for the girl and one for the boy friend. One stylist reports seeing twins in telescopes, pork pies, derbies, and felt caps. Men will remember the "off the face" hats worn by women a season or two ago. These are now being shown in twin chapeaux.
Another style can be termed as "mix your own." This consists of individual hat bands which can be changed to suit the color combination that you wish to wear.
At last women can wear their lampshades, pill-boxes, and pancakes in peace.
Alien Antecedents Do Dog No Good
Hollywood, Dec 4—(UP)—Melvyn Douglas is instituting a one-man crusade in behalf of man's best friend. The screen star thinks something should be done for dogs of alien antecedents, dogs whose names are inevitably associated with the land where they first were bred.
"Just as the lowly hamburger became the lofty Liberty sandwich and Germania Halls throughout the land became Liberty Halls, dogs with foreign names were innocent victims of misunderstanding," the actor said.
Douglas, making his discourse on dogs on the set of Columbia's comedy, "This Thing Called Love," wants to do something to prevent a recurrence of the mass hysteria in the future.
Recalling the first World War Douglas points out that such dogs as the Doberman-Pinscher, the Dachshund, the German Shepherd and the Schnauzer were almost friendless in the United States, and little care was taken in their breeding because there was no market for their sale.
"We know, from foreign dispatches," he continued, "that in some warring nations dogs are being killed because food for them is scarse. If the war hails for years, many breeds
will be wiped out in those nations. It is up to America to perpetuate these breeds, to make certain that they do not become extinct.
Authorized Parties
"I've talked to men who have devoted their lives to bettering certain breeds. They tell me that already many dogs, with alien names, are becoming a drug on the market, that prices are being cut and takers are few.

Boon To Metallurgy In New Minerals Building
This is the fourth of a series of news stories presenting the advantages which the proposed Mineral Industry building would bring to the campus and the state.
Left-over space! That is all the metallurgical engineering department now has in old Haworth hall.
The department was awarded the few odd nooks and corners when as a newcomer to the School of Engineering it moved into Haworth hall in 1938.
Although Prof. F. A. Russell, civil engineer, did a good job in fitting the designing laboratory rooms into the small space available, the department is housed on four different floor levels, with rooms scattered from the north end of the building to the south end. This condition places a physical burden on the small staff in trying to serve students in different places in the building.
An unsightly improvised platform, built in the center of the laboratory room; furnishes the only space for the storage of necessary supplies.
A number of heavy motors are used which create vibrations throughout the building. In the metallography course, the use of microscopes of high magnification is necessary; but when the motors are running, it is impossible to obtain good photomicrographs.
In the proposed Mineral Industries building, plans have been made to give the metallurgical department more space and a compact collection of modern laboratory rooms.
In addition to training students, the metallurgical department cooperates with other departments and the state in supplying all manner of information concerning the source, production, and properties of metals and alloys.
Among the research problems being carried on is one concerning the disposal of impure water from the zine mines of southeastern Kansas. This work is financed by the Kansas State Geological Survey.
Another problem is to determine the nature and origin of certain peculiar alloyed metal particles found on the plains of southwestern Kansas. This work is being done for the State Corporation Commission.
The new building thus would be a decided factor in improving the work and services of the metallurgical engineers.

A sea lily which lived 250 million years ago in what is now Texas has been named after Benny Ewers, graduate student in geology, although he wasn't around when the lily was in its prime.
Whoops! Lily Named For Student
Doing graduate work in Texas last summer, Benny found several new specimens of invertabrate fossils at Marble Falls, Texas, among which was the prehistoric sea lily, known as a crinoid. A complete specimen, it was the first of the genus to be found in Texas.
The sea lily is now in the United States Natural Museum in Washington.
Although Ewers has found fossils in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, this is the first to have been named after him. Its scientific name is Galateacrinus ewersi.
Ewers is at K.U. working on his master's degree. In his thesis on "The Marble Falls Limestone of Texas" he will name other specimens which he found.

Student Artist First Popularized Jayhawk
Following the 1910 Kansas-Missouri football game a cartoonist for the Kansas City Journal drew a picture of a large bird flying away with victory, typosifying the K.U. win.
A short time later Maloy, cartoonist and reporter on the Kansan from 1910 to 1914 drew the Jayhawk for one of his cartoons as he thought it should look. His version of the bird had a large beak, long legs, and wore big heavy work shoes. He used it many times in his later cartoons and it soon became the accepted emblem of the University.
Maloy drew a great many humorous cartoons for campus publications during his college career. Perhaps his most popular figure besides the Jayhawk was a little bewhiskered man he used to represent the faculty.
In 1913 the Kansan called him "the greatest cartoonist in the Sunflower State." His cartoons were so popular that the Kansan signed a contract with him in 1913 to draw exclusively for the Kansan.
He also wrote an amusing column for the Kansan entitled "H. Maley, Editor."
Since the birth of the Jayhawk many versions of the bird have been created, but no definite one has been
The Jayhawk now in popular use by the University is copyrighted by Fritz Company of Lawrence.
Now employed on the Eureka newspaper, Maloy has become well-known among gardeners in this part of the country for cultivation of iris, his hobby.
Dr. R. H. Beamer, professor of entomology, and Dr. H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology, will attend the Kansas State Horticulture Society meetings in Kansas City, Kan., tomorrow and Friday.

Tough Longhorns Invade Hoch Monday
Allenmen Seek To Add Texans To S.-W. Victims
By CHUCK ELLIOTT
With six straight victories over Southwest Conference foes already through the hoop, Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's charges are marking time until Monday night when they hope to add to this string by taking the first of a two-game engagement with the University of Texas Longhorns.
The only game that the Jayhawks have ever lost to a Southwest Conference team was the first played with this conference in 1938 when K.U. lost to this same Texas U. team by a lone field goal, 34 to 36. Following this game, the Red and Blue trounced the Longhorns, 49 to 35, then moved to Dallas where they coped two games from Southern Methodist, 46 to 40 and 52 to 45.
Last year the S.M.U. Mustangs came to Lawrence for revenge and instead received the highest score ever registered against an opponent since Ottawa University was defeated 66 to 22 in the dedicatory game of Robinson Gymnasium in 1908. The score last year was 63 to 31 in the first game and the next night it slowed down to a 37 to 26 victory for Kansas.
Laced '40 Mustangs
This year Coach Jack Gray of the Longhorns has hopes of breaking this string of wins and has more than just a wish behind his hope Texas U. won the Southwest Conference two years ago when they won from K.U. and last year they took second place to the Rice Owls.
That made five victories out of six regularly scheduled games. In the Western N.C.A.A. play-offs in Kansas City in March the Owls of Rice Institute were trooned 50 to 44 to keep intact the Jayhawk record.
Three of last year's Texans, Chester Granville, Thurman Hull, and Norman Houpt. are back. Granville is a six feet two inch forward who tips the beam at 190 pounds. He was a star at Austin High School and in his first college game scored 18 points in 18 minutes of play. This year as a senior he is the leading scorer.
Hull A Danger
Hull is another senior who adds balance to Gray's team. He is a nifty ball handler and dangerous from his forward position with his one-handed shooting. He was a member of the John Tarleton Junior College team which ran up a string of 86 successes on the court before being defeated.
Houpt is the third senior on the squad who played against the Jayhawks in 1938. Standing six feet five inches, he should control the center tip and his bulk of 210 pounds will be defensive power.
Postal savings were authorized by congress in 1910 and instituted a year later.
Tracksters Check Out Monday
Training for the indoor track season will begin Monday inside the stadium in preparation for dual, Big Six, and A.A.U. meets. Coach Bill Hargiss asks all lettermen, squadmen, freshmen, and others, who wish to try out for the team to check out equipment.
Last winter 75 boys trained through December and January. Coach Hargiss expects that many or more to report Monday. In preparation for this number he has had the indoor track resurfaced, jumping pits reconditioned, and has bought new equipment.
Hargiss urges all tracksters to get an early start so that he can begin preparations for early dual meets. He intends to give all boys tryouts in these meets.
A.T.O.-Teke Fray Is Featured
First intramural basketball contests will be played Thursday at 6 p.m. in Robinson gym. Number one contest will bring together Alpha Tau Omega, led by Bill Arthur, and the Teke five, a preseason favorite. The Teke's are made up of many of last year's Division II winner, the Buccaneers. The other game will find the Acacias opposing the Sig Ep's. Returning stars from last year's Sig Ep outfit were Bob Cooper and "Rudy" Savely.
At 10:00 p.m., Dunakin I elashes with the Hellhounds while Ed Hall's Delta Chi cagers find the D.U. squad as their opponents.
Saturday classes this semester together with increased Saturday classes next semester will probably tend to decrease the number of games and teams in intramurals this winter.
Henry On Grange Air Program Friday
"Red" Grange, the former galloping ghost of Illinois and now conductor of a popular radio program, will interview Coach Gwinn Henry at 6:45 o'clock Friday night over the Mutual Broadcasting system.
The program will be broadcast from the studios of KCKN in Kansas City, Kan., and can be heard over WREN. Henry will also be in Kansas City for Friday and Saturday meetings of Big Six conference coaches and faculty representatives.
Don Faurot, Missouri coach, will also be heard on the Grange program over WREN at 5:45 o'clock Saturday night.

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
If one's football perspective will carry him back through the past ten years, he might conclude that Nebraska's invitation to meet Stanford in this year's Rose Bowl classic in Pasadena is a just reward for the growing gridiron power of the Big Six conference in general.
Equally just is the fact that the mighty Huskers, nine times conference champions, should receive the most coveted of all the national bowl bids. For it was the Nebraskans who brought forth the first of Big Six All-American timber, who dared to meet fearful non-conference foes when the conference was still in it's infancy, and who pioneered conference prestige on every hand.
Let us turn back the conference football pages some ten years and take a look at the calibre of Big Six schedules, a yardstick that sheds light on the strength of any team.
Iowa State played such obscure opposition as Morningside and Simpson. Kansas State met Pitt Teachers and North Dakota. Kansas tangled with Haskell and James Millikin. The only powers that dotted conference schedules at all were Pitt, Northwestern, Rice, and Texas.
Six years ago the schedules were little improved. Included as Big Six opponents that year were Hays Teachers, Warrensburg Teachers, St. Benedicts, and Cornell College of Iowa. In fact Nebraska was the only conference school playing a respectable non-conference schedule. Yet Big Six teams were barely able to finish above the .500 mark with nonconference engagements such as these.
Since that time the conference's non-league schedule has grown to include annually such national grid titans as Minnesota, Pitt, Santa Clara, Northwestern, Iowa, Indiana, Villanova, Baylor, Rice, Texas, Tulsa, New York U., and Marquette. Yet Big Six schools can boast of 47 victories in 70 starts against this sort of opposi-

Quarterbacks Hold Last Meeting;
The final session of the Downtown Quarterback club was held at Hotel Eldridge Monday night to see movies of the Kansas - Colorado State game. Vic Hurt, assistant coach, gave fans a few slants of next year's prospects.
He said that at present things looked pretty good. The frosh are weathering their studies all right although he explained that "in order to keep up with the law of averages," several of them might "have difficulties". The Jayhawkers should get replacements in spots where needed. Hurt commended the work of two Lawrence boys during the past season. Bob Hagen, reserve back from Lawrence, may be shifted to end in spring practice, he indicated.
An outstanding freshman prospect, he said, is Warren Hodges, big tackle on the fresh squad, who like Hagen, formerly played for the Lions. "We are eager to have as many Lawrence boys on the squad as possible," the coach explained.
Hargiss To Denver For A.A.U. Confab
W. H. (Bill) Hargiss, varsity track coach and president of the Missouri Valley Amateur Athletic Union, left today for Denver to attend the national A.A.U. convention this week end. Hargiss is the official delegate from this district.
Moguls of the A.A.U. will make plans for the indoor and outdoor sports under their jurisdiction and pass upon all track and swimming records presented for recognition. Change of track and swimming distances from meters to yards is expected to be the main business of the convention.
Grad Attends Cleveland Meeting
Iva Belle Harper, University alumna and present teacher of journalism in the Liberty Memorial high school, attended the National Scholastic Press Association convention held in Cleveland last weekend.
She was recently elected president of the Kansas Interscholastic Press Association.

Name Christman Most Valuable
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4-(UP) Paul Chirstman of the University of Missouri, was named the most valuable player in the Missouri Valley area today by the quarterback's club of the Kansas City Athletic club.
Christman will be given the award at a dinner here next Saturday night at which talks will be made by Major Lawrence "Biff" Jones, coach of the Big Six champions and Rose Bowl contestants Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Chet Benefiel, coach of Tulsa University's Missouri Valley conference champions. Benefiel resigned yesterday as Tulsa mentor.
Other players of this section who received votes in the balloting among Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma sports writers were Walter Luther, Warren Alfson, Herman Rohrig and Harry Hopp of Nebraska; John Arnolla, Creighton; Mel Aussiker, St. Louis University; Don Pierce, Kansas; James Reynolds, Oklahoma A. & M., and Johnny Martin and Bill Jennings, Oklahoma.
Big Six Grid Games Show Attendance Decrease for 1940

tion over the last three years for a percentage of .671.
Brock of Nebraska, Bock of Iowa State, and Young of Oklahoma attained national consideration while the pre-season check list numbered 11 conference men.
Last year the check list listed only eight Big Six performers, but of those Missouri's Christman; Nebraska's Rohrig, and Oklahoma's Shirk and Ivy gained all-American first string berths on many of the expert's selections.
Another proof of growing conference strength can be obtained by scanning the annual national ratings of the country's teams. Last fall Nebraska, Oklahoma, and champion Missouri, all rated in the first 25 of virtually every rating scheme in the country. In 1938 the champion Sooners rated as high as sixth, and Iowa State ranked twenty-third. Nebraska will close this season in almost anyone's first 10, with the Tigers and Sooners probably close to the first 25.
In contrast, we find that in 1934 no conference club rated anyone's top 25. Nebraska was the only Big Six school then in the national spotlight, although Bill Hargiss at Kansas and Gwinn Henry at Missouri turned out one or two good teams a few years preceding that date.
Big Six all-Americans and near all-Americans have increased amazingly in the past four or five years. In 1934 only George Maddox, Kansas State's giant tackle, was a serious all-American candidate and rated a first team berth on many selections.
In 1938 three Big Six stalwarts,
This season the Big Six checklist hit all an-time high of 12, and already Nebraska's Alfson and Hopp, Oklahoma's Lahar, and Kansas State's Weiner have been recognized along with the irrepressible "Pitchin' Paul". Another strength-meter which recently has boomed Big Six stock throughout the country is it's increasing play-yield to big time professional football ranks.
Now active in the pro sport are Shirk, Ivy, Coppage, McCullough, Clark, Seymour, and Young of Oklahoma; Thomson, McDonald, Masterson, Cardwell, Francis, and Brock of Nebraska; Hackney and Cleveland of Kansas State, and F. Bausch, O. Nesmith and Stapleton of Kansas.
From the above one can see that the Midwestern high school star need not attend some far-off university to gain football fame. If that's what he's after, he can stay in his own backyard and play some the best in the land—in a nationally respected Big Six.
At least, that's as we see it.

The Kansan Comments-sas City. Quoting from the Kansas City Times: "Mr. Malott said he believed the majority in this country approved the government's policy of aiding England. Repeal of the neutrality act and the Johnson act, he said, would not as some persons predict, be the straw that broke the camel's back, turning Germany actively against us. The dictators would get at us as soon as they could, regardless of whether we antogonized them, Mr. Malott said.

SANTA RIDES A TANK
IF pre-holiday indications are correct, Santa's reindeer will strain under their heaviest load in 10 years this Christmas Eve as a result of improved business conditions caused by twelve billion dollars of war and defense orders.
Congress, at the next session, is expected to order still more guns, planes, tanks, and other armaments. The national defense advisory council estimates that within the next 18 months the country's income will exceed one hundred billion dollars and that almost six million unemployed will be put to work.
To many Americans these figures seem to sortend the return of prosperity and happiness. Others, however, realizing that restoration of identity may be accompanied by termination of peace, can echo the sentiment of John D. Biggers, executive assistant to Defense Commissioner William Knudsen, who said recently: God knows, I wish that it were any other kind of industry that would bring us this income."
Although the war boom was under way at this time last winter, trade surveys show that department store sales during November 1940 were 13 per cent ahead of a year ago. Dunn and Bradstreet's Trade Review reports that Thanksgiving delicacies were sold in greater volume this year than last and that Christmas shoppers already have begun to jam the aisles of stores all over the nation.
VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE
BOOKS★
Unless some unexpected development dams up the present flood of buying before December 25, America will have spent over one billion dollars in department stores alone for gifts.
SOME students and parents have complained that the University of Kansas has no vocational guidance program. For two years Campus Problem speakers have discussed the need for such a program at the University. They have consistently belittled the efforts of the university in turning out job-able graduates.
OME students and parents have complained
Has the University been so remiss?
First, in the program of vocational guidance, come the professional schools. The University offers professional training in business, engineering and architecture, law, education, medicine, pharmacy, and journalism. Each of these schools or departments is designed to fit a graduate for a position upon completion of his course.
PATTER★
Second, comes the guidance program on the part of the University faculty—particularly for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Each freshman and sophomore enrolled in the University has a faculty adviser whose purpose is to guide him in the selection of his major field. After the major field has been chosen the chairman of the department becomes his adviser.
This year the University is doing even more. The Committee on Vocational Guidance headed by P.W.Viesselman, professor of law, has arranged many special conferences. Professional men of Lawrence and members of the University faculty serve as advisers to individual students desiring aid.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott made two significant statements in a speech last night in Kansas City. Quoting from the Kansas City Times: "Mr. Malott said he believed the majority in this country approved the government's policy of aiding England. Repeal of the neutrality act and the Johnson act, he said, would not as some persons predict, be the straw that broke the camel's back, turning Germany actively against us. The dictators would get at us as soon as they could, regardless of whether we antogonized them, Mr. Malott said.
The University of Kansas is not a trade school, but it does offer guidance and practical assistance to students seeking to fit themselves for jobs immediately upon graduation.
"And as for speaking of granting credit to England, that was using the wrong term, he said. Whatever we gave to England, he said, would be a gift; for, win or lose, she would be unable to pay us back."
The truth of the first statement has been proved in blood by one appeaser after another. The truth of the second is fast being proved in "Coventrized" cities all over England.

Christmas Bazaar 'Open for Business'
You have to have more ill-will than Scrooge to pass by without looking at the gift display at the Y.W.C.A. Christmas bazaar which began today in the main lounge of the Union building!
Browsers find that gifts range from Mexican jumping beans to Indian jewelry, candy made in New England or marionettes from Kansas City. Fanciful trifles from China and Japan are popular with persons buying for $ ^{*} $ .
collectors of metal or china ware.
Students at Berea college, Berea Ky., have made many of the articles in the handicraft display. University of Kansas faculty women and Y. W. Advisory Board members made the baked goods and candy that is being sold today only.
For those persons who are not gift-listing there is a assortment of useful things to buy for themselves as well as an array of Christmas cards that are ready to be sent out.
For the second time in its history, the Christmas bazaar is being held in the Union building. It was formerly
shown at Henley House.
Jean Stouffer, president of the Y. W., said last night that the sale represented $700 worth of merchandise, and that the proceeds will be used in meeting the organization's budget demands.
Patty Riggs, college junior, is in charge of the bazaar. Other committee chairmen who have worked on arrangements are Betty Hohl, business junior; Mary Elizabeth Evans, college sophomore; Mildred Stoner, college sophomore; Louise Woodrich, college sophomore; Beulah Talbott, college senior; Margot Baker, college junior; and Roberta Tucker, Y.W. executive secretary.
In 104 Rooms---of all county clubs, and there are 104 counties (all but Stanton) represented at the University.
County Clubs Will Meet On Campus Dec.12
It will take 104 gavels to open the all-school convocation Dec. 12.
Yes, 104 gavels—but only one in Hoch auditorium. The other 103 will be scattered over the campus in all kinds of rooms. Class rooms, Fraser theater, the auditorium in Frank Strong hall, and Green hall's little theater will all be used to house the convocation. You see, this is the convocation set aside for the meeting
A One-Man Meeting
Shawnee county, with 335 students will have the largest meeting of the convocation. On the other end of the list is Morton county, with Rex Ketchum, business junior, as county club chairman.
County correspondent is Rex Ketchum, and chairman of the publicity committee is Rex Ketchum. Yes, you guessed it—Rex is the only person here from Morton county. This can serve as an example of what the county clubs are trying to do. Rex is from Elkhart; so is Glenn Cunningham. In 1935 Glenn was doing what our county clubs are trying to do now—spreading good will; and in 1935 there were 13 students from Morton county in the University of Kansas. Morton county, incidentally, is in the absolute southwest corner of the state, more than 450 miles from here.
Hubert McCall, college freshman from Grant county, shares Ketchum's distinction of being his county's sole representative. Commissioners for the Statewide Activities are no pikers, however; both boys will have separate rooms for their county of meetings during the convocation. To Plan University Publicity
Moritz Speaks on China At Monthly YM-YW Meeting
At a joint meeting of the Y.M. C.A. and Y.W.C.A. held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union
The main purpose of the convocation will be to allow the county clubs to plan University publicity for their counties during Christmas vacation.
County club chairman will meet Tuesday to receive instructions and suggestions for the effective organization of their clubs, George Kettner, College junior and state chairman of the county clubs, said today. Each chairman will receive Jayhawk campaign tags for students from his county. The tags are made especially to be worn during Christmas vacation.
WED
Lecture Towns In Prospect
Suggestions for the organization of high school assemblies, service club programs, University film showings, alumni dinners and various displays will be given the club chairmen, Ketterer said. Arrangements for faculty speakers can also be made, said Ketterer, if club chairmen of neighboring counties can work out a small lecture tour for the desired speaker.
school week
Names of counties, their meeting places, and club chairmen will be posted soon.
"Our only purpose," Kettner said, "is to create good will among Kansas people toward their University."

15 Students Enroll In Elementary Portuquese Course
Fifteen students have registered as enrollees in the elementary course in Portuguese, Prof. W. H. Shoemaker, chairman of the department of Romance Languages and Literature, announced today.
Considerable interest on the part of the students has shown the desire for such a course, according to Mr. Shoemaker, and it is being offered by the department for the first time in 10 years.
The course will be offered as a junior-senior subject and will have as its pre-requisite 10 hours of Spanish. Sophomores who have completed the pre-requisite and have a high scholastic record may petition for admittance to the class.

Three Cars Crash Near Hill Today
Three University students escaped injury early today when they were involved in a three-car mishap on Tennessee street near Twelfth street.
Charles Arthur, first year law, and his brother, William Arthur, college freshman, were driving south on Tennessee when they struck a car driven by Roger Montgomery, business senior. The police report said Montgomery was pulling away from the right curb.
The Arthur car then struck a car going north. Damage to all three cars was slight.
Need for Student Unity Emphasized by Moritz
The need of American students for the type of unity held by those in China was emphasized by Paul Moritz, speaking yesterday at a Y.M.-Y.W. membership assembly in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Ed Price, college junior and YMCA president, presided at the meeting, which included music by the quartet of Lorenzo Fuller, fine arts senior. The joint meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month and all interested persons are invited.

Moreau's Article Appears in Latest State Bar Journal
An article written by F. J. Moreau dean of the school of law, "Gov't. Claims in Bankruptcy and Reorganization Proceedings" appeared in the latest issue of the "Kansas Bar Journal." Accompanying it were ten comments and case notes on a wide variety of subjects by several seniors in the School of Law.
Students whose comments and case notes appeared are:
Worden Davis, Dale Bruce, Walter Krause, Arnold Gilbert, Eugene Rickett, John Brookens, Mary McDonald, Robert McKinley, Ben Mandeville, Victor Breen, Virgil Garrett, William Kandt, Frank Shinkle, Champ Graham, Marion C. Miller, Clarence Robinson, Ernest Deines, Philip Buzick, B. Moe Ettenson, Robert Jessee, Andrew Hibbard Sheldon Wingerd, John Ziegelmeyer Howard Dunham, and Lawrence Sigmund.
Some of these comments are revisions of term papers prepared in law classes and rewritten under faculty supervision.
The "Kansas Bar Journal" is published at Wichita four times a year by a board of editors chosen by the State Bar Association. Prof. P. W. Viesselman, of the School of Law, is the K.U. representative on the board.
YWCA Christmas Bazaar to Feature Gifts From China
The annual Y.W.C.A. Christmas bazaar is transforming the lobby of the Memorial Union building into a gift shop today, tomorrow, and Friday for the sale of novelty gifts of brass, wood, and China, Patty Riggs, general chairman, announced today.
Some of the novelties come from the Shop of Cina in Seattle; others the work of self-supporting students in Berea College, Kentucky.
A sale of homemade cookies and other backed goods will be held on Wednesday in connection with the bazaar. Students can purchase these novelty gifts anytime between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.

BIG SIX MOGULS--arrangements with the Orange, Sugar, Cotton, and Sun Bowls.
Discussion will also center around the commissioner plan, junior college transfers, and the rule requiring a special meeting of the representatives before consent is given to a prospective bowl entry.
The rule requiring a special meeting was largely Nebraska's work. But the fathers relented when they gave their consent to the Rose Bownominees by telephone and telegraph Sunday. Had they required a meeting, Stanford might have not waited to select Nebraska.
Commissioners in the Big Ten and Pacific Coast have done a good job of cleaning up athletic messes of members. The Big Six may appoint a full-time salaried executive to superintend its athletic activities.
The junior college rule requiring a year of residence of the junior
college transfer before competing in varsity sports is expected to be contested by Kansas. Since other conferences allow immediate participation of these athletes most of the prize graduates of Kansas junior colleges pass up Kansas for greener pastures.
The rule will probably remain as Kansas is the only school visibly affected by it. Kansas has a greater number of junior colleges than the other states.
Dr. W. W. Davis, faculty representative, and Gwinn Henry will be the Kansas members at the Kansas City meeting.

Then, in thunders justice. Till's past catches up with him, and he is summoned to court. But he impudently keeps up a line of sarcastic mockery until the outraged court decrees—death by the guillotine!
This time Till has no comeback. His face grows greenish gray, his knees knock. But the assigned penalty is administered, and the guillotine slices off Till's roguish head.
When last heard from, Till's spirit was on its way upward, turning back to give the stiff old earth one last nose-thumbing.
Always popping up in this composition is the Till motif, a spicy, sarcastic theme of a few notes, inviting enough to merit a swing arrangement.

Allen's Grid Doom Hint Brings No Reply Here
Campus officials today refused to criticize or answer Dr. F. C. Allen's statement that college football has had its day and would disappear from American college campuses in ten years. University Football Coach Gwinn Henry, who is also director of athletics, declined to talk and dismissed the issue with "I have no comment to make at this time."
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, when asked for a statement, replied that since he was not an expert on athletics, he would not comment on Dr. Allen's prediction on the future of the game. Dr. W. W. Davis, the University's representative on the Big Six Athletic board, said that he had not read Dr. Allen's statement but he did not think that college football was doomed. Gives Football 10 Years
In Kansas City last night, Dr. Allen gazed ten years into the future and forecasted the doom of "big time" college football. In Lawrence today he added the hope that college basketball would not go "big time" and die of its own ambitions as he predicted football will die.

DR. W. W. DAVIS . . . "football isn't doomed."
Dr. Allen made his startling prediction last night while attending the 1940 opening ceremonies of the Naismith basketball league in the Kansas City Municipal auditorium.
"Football On Way Out"
"Somebody has done something to football." Dr. Allen said, "and as a result football is on the way out. In some schools, football is more professional than in the out-and-out professional leagues."
"It's a sad commentary," Allen said, "that a boy prepares for four years to be a professional football player." He added that educators want the college boy to get an education and not coaching for professional football.
Dr. Allen said that educators originally incorporated athletics into the educa- (continued to pere eight)

Prof. N. W. Storer, chief turban wearer at the observatory, will conduct an open house to let visitors know what an engaged planet, with a ring around it, looks like. That planet is Saturn.

Arizona Governor Paroles Edgar Park From Prison
'Old Grad' Free Soon--commute Park's term to twelve and one-half years or approximately the time he has served since being convicted of the slaying.
The "Old Grad" was convicted of the slaying of Perry Brite, June 3, 1928, at Goodwater in northern Arizona. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Gov. Bob Jones of Arizona yesterday commuted the life sentence of Edgar O. Park, self-styled "old grad" of the University of Kansas. Park will be paroled after the third recommendation in five years by the board of pardons and paroles, and soon will be free.
Park came into public light several years ago as a result of the intense interest he took in the University. Frequently he wrote for copies of the University paper and yearbooks, always signing himself the "Old Grad."
Later it was discovered the Park's letters were coming from Box B, Florence, Ariz., which is the state prison mail box. There is no record in the Alumni Association office files of Park's ever having attended the University.
Chairman Walter Hofmann said the board's vote was unanimous to
Hofmann described Park's behavior as "exceptional," adding that every warden during the last ten years had urged the board to release him. Park has amassed 36 years in "good behavior" credits, Hofmann said.
Park's father died two weeks ago, and his mother is dangerously ill. He is 30 years ok.
Acacia Man Drops Court Damage Suit
Action on the nearest thing to a University shooting fray that has happened in recent years has subsided in the Douglas county district court.
Dean McCoy, who was seeking judgment for the sum of $2,000 from three of his Acacia fraternity brothers, Donnard Dannenburg, Milburn Griffith, and William Marsh, all former University students, has dropped charges against Dannenberg. Charges against the other two defendants were dismissed by the court when it was ruled that summons for the two youths were improperly drawn up.
The case dates back to Jan. 8, 1938, when McCoy was playing cards with several Acacia fraternity brothers and was injured in the hip by an accidental discharge of a gun in the hands of the three defendants. McCoy said that he had to go to school an extra semester and would never be able to lead an active life again.

Greeks Drive On Britain Gets 20 Planes From U.S.
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press News Editor
The war in the Albanian mountains, in the air over Europe and Britain and on the gray Atlantic waters went on relentlessly as rumors spread of peace feelers by Portugal's premier, Dr. Antonio Salazar and Far Eastern events moved nearer to a possible showdown.
Greek troops today appeared to be close to driving all Italian forces from South Albania as the Royal Air Corps smashed again at Italy's important industrial city of Turin.
Hard-hitting Greek mountaineer troops, aided by crack artillerymen, pounded hard at crumbling Italian lines in the southwest corner of Albania. They were pressing close to Porto Edda, Albania's third largest port, and the strategic roads center of Argyrokastron.
Capture of these strong points would expel the Italians from all South Albanian cities and place the Greeks in control of the few roads close to the Greece border. It was believed the Greeks then would be in a powerful position to resist a reorganized Italian offensive which is generally expected to be launched as soon as Italy's generals can concentrate sufficient supplies and fresh troops in Albania.

Brass Buttons Will Flash--- R.O.T.C. Ball Holds Spot
All of the uniforms on the Hill except that of George, the campus cop, will be very much in evidence at the Memorial Union building Friday night when the University's private unit of aspiring officers flashes its brass buttons in style at the annual R.O.T.C. ball.
Adding to the color of the occasion will be the 11 new Scabbard and Blade, national honorary military society, initiates, who for the last few days have been seen carrying the traditional little red swords around the campus.
The members of the society will be hosts at a banquet before the dance to the new initiates, members of the R.O.T.C. committee, and associate members of the committee. Toast-master for the banquet will be Robert Stadler, president of the University chapter of Scabbard and Blade. Addresses will be given at the banquet by Col. Karl F. Baldwin,

Kansas Mines Produce Valuable Zinc, Lead Ore
Kansas mines produced 68,971 tons of zinc valued at $7,172,984 and 13,-697 tons of lead valued at $1,287,518 during 1939, according to figures from the Kansas Geological Survey office at the University.
A total of 3,701,300 tons of ore was mined to obtain this amount of these metals. Of the minerals produced in Kansas, zinc ranks third in value, being exceeded only by petroleum and natural gas. Kansas ranks third of all the states in the production of zinc. All the zinc and lead produced in Kansas comes from Cherokee county.

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Even the most intramurally disinterested campus cuties will tell you that Chain Healy's hard-rolling Phi Gam's, already crowned intramural football champions, are at least an even bet to retain their all-University basketball crown.
Just how well the Fijis will do, however, will depend on their ability to cope with three more or less outstanding problems. These troubles include the replacing of their best intramural athlete in the last decade, rough and ready Jim "Red" Morris; the ability of four of last year's returning regulars to continue their '39-'40 pace, and the manner in which they will, or will not dispose of four other sturdy clubs rated near their own par, and a host of secondary threats, all capable of ill-doing.
Leading the high scoring purple cage horde once again will be Healy, and swart Larry McSpadden, guard and forward, respectively, and coaptains of last year's first string Intramural All-Stars.
Close behind in ability will be fisty Roscoe Hambric, jumping jack forward, who rated a second team berth in '40, and Harold Long, a steadying influence at guard. All four were regular performers last winter. From among "Swede" Olson, Wally Hinshaw, Bill Bevan, and Dick Reid will come the fifth fiji regular.
The four quintets, bracketed as number one hopes to dethrone the confident Gams include the independent's powerful Galloping Dominoe successor, the Newman club; a football-player infested Teke crew, and the nearly always potent Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Kappa Psi.
The Newmans, under the court guidance of football quarterback Marvin Vandeveer, have combined remnants of last year's twice champion Galloping Ghosts with two or three new roughers, to establish themselves as a definite threat.
In Warner "Tony" Coffin, a first and second team All-Star guard selection of the past two years, and Nelson Hare, a rangy forward, the Newmans have a pair of honest-to-gosh Indians who can go on the basketball warpath in earnest.
Couple these with Marv's kid brother Ed, high scoring Denny Gibbens, and freshman footballers Tom Robertson and Al Hinkle, and one sees why the Newmans must be considered.
Hard working John Zeigle-
meyer will once again be on deck
to direct his team's offense. Dick
(continued to page five)
The Psis, weaker than usual last year, should bounce back with force this winter. Headlining the Red and Green's new deal will be free wheeling Harold Unsell, former all-state high school forward from Chanute and Jim Seely, an All-State Juco guard from Hutchinson last year. In the supporting cast will be Bill Hodge and Bill Knight off last year's "B" team champs and the veteran Tom Arbuckle.
The Alphs, long famed for good basketball, will be slightly below their form of the last three years, but still potentially potent enough to crash through to a championship.

Tau Kappa Epsilon, boasting of four of last year's great Buccaneers, will tangle with Alpha Tau Omega tonight in the featured opening intramural basketball game of the season. Ulrich, Teke forward, finished third in last year's scoring averages, while Lindquist, Fry, and Dalyrimple supported him well on a high class team. The Arthur brothers, Bill and Charles, will give the Tekes the most trouble.
Another choice contest will be the Phi Delt-Phi Psi game. Newcomer, Kern, Stauffer, Lynch, and Hunter will start for the Phi Delts, while Nolan, Arbuckle, Seeley, Dickerson, and Unsell will compose the Phi Psi five.
In the other games, Delta Chi, led by Hall, Burton, and McCarty, opposes Delta Upsilan; Dunakin engages the Hellhounds; and Acacia
Lettermen and squadmen back from last year's team which finished fifth in the Big Six are Marion Cooper, backstroke, Joe Morton, dashes, Tom Walton, distances, Dan La Shelle, distances and backstroke, Paul White, diver, Harry Ham, diver, and Gene Nelson, breaststroke.
Swimmers Open Season
The varsity swimming team has begun training under Coach Jim Raport in preparation for dual meets with Big Six schools and the Big Six championship meet set for late in February.
Frosh Cage Stock Climbs; Evans Reports
Freshman basketball stock was on the upgrade today with the announcement that Ray Evans, former Wyandotte high school star, would probably be in the starting lineup at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night when the yearlings square off with "Phog" Allen's varsity at Hoch auditorium.

Texans Stress Ruggedness; Are Rangy
Finesse basketball, as demonstrated by a smooth University of Kansas cage team, will collide with rough and tumble court tactics favored by the powerful Texas Longhorns, who invade Hoch auditorium Monday and Tuesday nights for a two game series with Dr. Forrest C. Allen's Jayhawkers.
The caliber of basketball played in the Southwest has improved greatly in the last few years. Texas' outfit plays the dashing, rugged type of ball that is characteristic of Southwest teams.
Texans Have Size
Rugged builds are the rule rather than the exception among Southwest conference basketball players. Twin scoring stars of the Longhorn team are Granville, 6 foot 2 inch guard who weighs 191, and Houpt, 6 foot 5 inch center, who scales in at 198.
Kansas, on the other hand, will rely mainly on finesse to make up for its lack of size. The Jayhawk crew is a brilliant ball handling aggregation, a fact which should pay dividends.
Soillenberger May Start
For Texas' special benefit, Dr. Allen probably will move Marvin Sollenberger, sophomore guard, into the lineup in place of Bob Johnson. Sollenberger, a husky defense man, weighs 184 as compared with Johnson's 165 pounds.
The Jayhawk star sophomore forward, John Buescher, may not see action against the Longhorns because at present he is not making the "C" average in his studies required by Dr. Allen.
Pharmacy Group To Hear Kirby
Dr. Frank B. Kirby, director of education at the Abbott laboratories, Chicago, will speak at the weekly School of Pharmacy convocation at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow.

Skilton's 'Cheyenne War Dances' On Symphony Program Tonight
1827
★★
He is an internationally - known composer. He has written six numbers for orchestra, four operas three choral works, one song cycle and a violin sonata. His most famous work has been played more than 500 times by orchestras from Budapest, Hungary, to Shanghai China.
★★
Charles Sanford Skilton, professor of organ in the School of Fine Arts
is the man. He is know far better the entire world, than he is on his own campus.
Founded Symphony in 1903
The University of Kansas Symphony orchestra, which he founded in 1903, will play "Cheyenne Indian War Dances" tonight, but they only will be following the example of a list of musical units which reads
****
like a chapter from a world-wide musical "Who's Who."
Buried under the welter of better-known music on tonight's program, the number is nevertheless a fine selection from the pen of a man who is a pioneer in bringing the music of America's Indian tribes to the world.
★★
Skilton got the tune of the composition from an Indian student at Haskell, Robert De Poe, in 1916 and wrote the composition from that.
Another composer on tonight's program, Richard Strauss, author of "The Merry Pranks of Till Eulenspiegel," is famous for a different reason. He is one of the select and small number of composers who have made a financial success of their music.
Socolofsky, Released From Hospital John Socolofsky, college senior, was released from Watkins Memorial hospital to attend classes.

gear just last week, flashed better than average form in his first practice of the year.
Also calculated to aid the frosh war the growing possibility that veteran forward Howard Engleman, the varsity's chief offensive weapon, would see no service Friday because of a severe cold.
The yearlings will present one of their ablest teams in years. Overpowering height will be their keynote with plenty of genuine court ability to back it.
Accompanying Evans in the back line will be six-foot two-inch "Red" Ettinger, fine all-around athlete from Independence, Mo. Six-foot three-inch, 190-pound Charlie Black, a great prospect from Southwest high school of Kansas City, Mo., is certain to start at center. Handsome Paul Turner of Shawnee Mission, at six feet the shortest' man on the club, will team with six-foot six-inch Jack Ballard, another Southwest product at the forwards.
Two varsity starting slots are still uncertain. Virtually assured of answering the opening whistle, however, are center Bobby Allen, forward Bill Hogben, and guard John Kline. All are lettered seniors of tested ability.
Junior letterman Bob Johnson on bespectacled Marvin Sollenberger, smooth-working sophomore, will fill the second guard post; the remaining forward will be chosen from among Vance Hall, T. P. Hunter, and Charlie Walker. Norman Sanneman, senior, is another certain of service at Guard.
AS WE SEE IT---footballer Walt Sheridan enough new blood for harmony.
(continued from page four) Wilson and Bob Bond, a pair of 6 ft. 2 in. rebounders are back for another year. Dick Amerine and Kenny Hamilton will add necessary speed and Bob Quiring and
Last year seven sophomore football men under the moniker of Bucaneers struck fear into the hearts of all University title aspirants as they slaughtered a favored A. K. Psi club in their league windup to smash into the coveted playoffs with 10 consecutive victories.
This season four of those hardy battlers are still together. This time for the newly organized Tekes. And again they are a respected threat. Leading the way will be Adonis-like Hubert Ulrich, varsity grid end, and smooth-scooting Jake Fry, a teammate at halfback. Blond Ed Lindquist and hard-rebounding "Chuck" Dalyrimple will man two of the remaining three positions with a freshman in the fifth.
Classed in a second group of quite possible, but not probable kingpins are A. K. Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Sig Ep, and Delta Chi.
Last year's runner-up A. K. Psi outfit might well have been named in the first tier if not for the fact that it will lose forward Gene Funck and guard Eldreth Cadwalader at midsemester. Big "Red" Thompson, Chester Gibbens, and Lee Huddleston, will furnish enough strength to make the Business-men tough to the end, however.
The Betas too will be hit hard by the mid-semester harvest, losing center Bob Stoland and guard Dean Kipp. Veterans Fred Littooy and Bill Geiger and newcomers Harlan Altman and Bob O'Neil should maintain respectable year-long strength.
The Eps will again be more than troublesome with "Rudy" Savely and Bob Cooper returning while Ed Hall, an All-Star first and second teamer for the past two years, will again lead a potent Delta Chi five with better-than-average support from "Chuck" Wendstrand, Neil Lysaught, and John Burton.
Perhaps unjustly unrated are Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, and A.T.O., but if one isn't satisfied he may write his own ticket for the champions.
Because it's merely as we see it

Shades of Horace Greeley
FINAL 1940 census figures show Kansas with a decrease of 79,971 persons since the 1930 count, and the consequent probability of losing one representative in Congress.
THE paradoxical relations of China and Japan are reaching absurdity. November 30, Japan and the Nanking Government, which it enclosed, signed a peace pact proclaiming an end to 40 months of war in China and the beginning of an era of military and economic co-operation.
California came up with a 1,230,136 gain in population and the probable addition of three representatives.
It looks as if the ghost of Horace Greeley has returned to haunt Kansas legislators who will be charged with the task of rearranging congressional districts.
Doves Over Machine Guns
Japanese Algebra
The ceremony was guarded by Japanese machine guns and war planes. Japan made it clear that despite the treaty she will continue military operations until there is "actual" peace.
The pact was signed in Nanking. A flock of white "doves of peace" flew overhead. Underneath, Japanese representatives rode in cars guarded by bluejackets and armed with swivel-mounted machine guns. Several Chinese came too, riding in armored cars.
THE Japanese newspaper, Miyako, declares the latest United States loan to China is bringing Japanese-American relations closer to "the final test." Thus, the relationship assumes a rough algebraic equation: If 125 million dollars equals only strained relations (which existed before), X millions of dollars equals one incident." There are a lot of people besides the Japanese wondering how large this unknown quantity eventually will be.
PATTER★
Even less than "peace at the point of a word", it is, in fact, no peace at all. We have ham battles"; could we call this "sham peace"?
"Peace, it's wonderful" was as good a phrase in Mexico City last Sunday as in Father Divine's Harlem, where it originated. However, General Avila Camacho appears to have put slightly more trust in rifles than in Providence.
TWO weeks ago Benito Mussolini announced that once he started, nothing could stop him. The first of this week the Italian press announced a new air plane with a maximum speed of 625 miles per hour which "offers horizons for war action."
Hurrv Benito
Benito had better hook a few of his new wonder planes to the Italian mechanized equipment that is bogging down his retreat in Albania. If he doesn't get his boys out of there soon, it could be that the Greeks will drive the whole kit and kiboodle into the sea.
Generous Victors
GREEKS are so elated with their military successes against the Italians that they have forgotten to hate the people they are fighting.
Italian prisoners are treated with respect, are well-fed, well-housed. Wounded prisoners are given the same medical care as wounded Greek soldiers.

Santa is having a hard time getting anyone imbued with Christmas spirit this year. With wars raging in Europe and Asia and threatening to rage in Africa, and now a heat wave in Kansas, the grand old man will have to do a lot of advertising to get shoppers out early.
Nothing is so fascinatingly mysterious as an excavation. Fascinating Hill students at the moment is the big hole just west of Frank Strong. The Kansan reporter on that beat keeps on promising that he'll know by "tomorrow."

Tavern 'Bull Session Start of Phi Beta Kappa
Half a century of educational history lived again a few days ago when, after profound deliberation, Kansas Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa beckoned seven outstanding College seniors into its exclusive membership.
Way back in 1889, two years before the first Kansas-Missouri football game, eight University faculty members who had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa in other institutions petitioned the national council to charter a chapter on Mount Oread.
The charter was granted in 1890, and these eight petitioners became charter members of the Alpha chapter of Kansas: Lucien I. Blake, Amherst, '76; Arthur G. Canfield, Williams, '78; James H. Canfield, Williams, '68; Arthur R. Marsh, Harvard, '83; David H. Robinson, Rochester, '87; Francis H. Snow, Williams, '62; A. M. Wilcox, Yale, '77; and Max Winkler, Harvard, '89.
Since that day, the Kansas chapter of this national scholastic society has elected a few of the highest ranking College senior men and women each fall, a larger group each spring. Election in the fall comes only to students having virtually a straight A average in all their College courses. At least a 2.6 or 2.7 average is necessary for the spring election. Under no conditions may more than one-sixth of the senior class be selected.
Last April, University of Kansas Phi Beta Kappas, past and present, assembled in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building with members of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fraternity, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the local chapters of both organizations. At that time, a greeting was received from Arthur Canfield, the only living charter member, now at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
sity of Michigan in Ann Arbor. For the origin of Phi Beta Kappa in the United States, it is necessary to turn back the pages of time more than 150 years. On a blustery December evening in 1776, five students at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Va., trudged through the sleet and snow to the Sir Walter Raleigh tavern where they were in the habit of holding intellectual "bull-fests."
When Lord Cornwallis' Redcoats swept like a forest fire through the woods of Virginia in 1781, William and Mary was forced to close its doors. But already chapters of Phi Beta Kappa had been established at Yale and Harvard, and so the fraternity's life did not end with the British occupation of Williamsburg.
Here, they organized a social and literary society which bore all the characteristics of the modern fraternity. Their badge was a square silver medal displaying on one side the Greek letters representing the words "Philosophy, the Guide of Life," and on the other the monogram SP for "Societas Philosophica."
Phi Beta Kappa grew and prospered through the years. In 1826, it changed its character, becoming nonsecret and purely honorary, admitting to its membership a small proportion of the scholars of highest standing. Now, at the age of 164, it boasts 128 chapters with a total membership of about 110,000 and represents to many a college student the peak of undergraduate achievement.
Exactly at 2:10 the other afternoon the alarm clock on the librarian's desk in the periodical room went off with a clang, making one student almost plunge through the Kansas City Times.

Simpson To Play Vespers Sunday
Professor G. Criss Simpson of the School of Fine Arts will appear in an organ recital at 4 o'clock next Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium.
For the Vesper program Mr. Simpson will play "Fantasia in F minor" (Mozart), an arrangement by Guilman of a Corelli "Prelude" and will close the program with the complete third Symphony for organ by Louis
Vierne, eminent French organ composer.
Mr. Simpson has a Bachelor of Music degree in both piano and organ and has done advanced study in organ under Albert Riemenschneider, Louis Dupre, Palmer Christian and Arthur Poister. Last year he was head of the Kansas Chapter of Guild of Organists.
At the present time he is organist at the Congregational church in Lawrence and has appeared frequently in recitals in Lawrence and in the rest of the state.

Q.E.D.
What kind of Math do you call this?
Suppose an improved method is devised that clips just one second from the time required to handle one toll ticket in the accounting department. Apply this method throughout the Bell System—handling an average of some 55,000,000 toll tickets each month—and it would effect a monthly saving of nearly 134 years!
It sounds crazy—but let's see how it would be perfectly possible in the telephone business.
A second saved here, an unnecessary step cut out there-on such close attention to "little" things rests the Bell System's ability to provide the finest, fastest, cheapest telephone service in the world.
Why not telephone home often? Long Distance rates to most points are lowest any night after Z P. M. and all day Sunday.

Cities De-emphasizing Trends "As the present football muddle now stands," he said, "the hand-writing is plain. Already Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, and Chicago have de-emphasized football or are preparing to do so." Dr. Allen claimed that financial reports of most colleges show a deficit instead of the huge profits they are supposed to make. Allen cited Major John L. Griffith, Big Ten commissioner, as authority for his statement.
When asked if his views on football conflicted with the scheduling
of the Kansas basketball team for a game in New York's Madison Square Garden, admittedly "big time," Allen stated. "If I had my way, we wouldn't go."
Christmas Trip For Players
Allen said the main reason for Kansas playing in the Garden was the eagerness of his boys for a big trip. He would rather have the team stay on the Hill during the Christmas vacation in preparation for the Big Six campaign.
His views on proselyting were clear-cut. "I wouldn't give any man 30 cents to play on any of my teams. When an athlete gets paid more for playing football in college than he can make out of college, the situation is bad."
"Anyway," Dr. Allen said, "the "big time" does not necessarily mean playing before large crowds."
W. W. Davis, genial professor of history and K.U.'s faculty representative in the Big Six, said at noon that he had not read Allen's statement.
Pro Players More Polished
While Dr. Davis does not believe college football is doomed, he does think it is being threatened by the growing public interest in professional football. The pro players are more polished and play a more colorful game, he said, than the college boys.
Initiation services for nine new members of Phi Delta Kappa, professional education fraternity, were held late Tuesday afternoon in the Memorial Union building.
The following students and members were initiated: Darrell Donnelly, Orville Eaton, Clyde Maynard Fox, Lloyd Reist, Robert Talmadge, Richard Tippin, Joe Van Sickle, Louis Weinberg, and Dr. W. Otto Miessner, professor of education.
Education Group Takes 9 Members
Following the initiation, dinner was served for members of the fraternity. The after dinner program included two songs, sung by Mr. Joe Williams of the Lawrence Public schools.
Mr. Willard Van Slyck, principal of Topeka high school, was a guest at the banquet and spoke for a short time to the group.
Mr. C. O. Wright, assistant secretary of the Kansas State Teacher's association described school legislation to be considered by the 1941 Kansas legislature in another speech at the initiation dinner.

Italian General Resigns; Greeks In Porto Edda
By JOE ALEX MORRIS
Greek arms today scored two brilliant triumphs—one in Albania and the other in Rome.
Hardy Evzone troops swept into Porto Edda, Albania's third largest port, driving Italians northward in retreat—and in Rome the high commander of Fascist armed forces, Marshal Pietro Badogli, resigned.
Badoglio was succeeded by Gen. Ugo Cavallero, a somewhat obscure Italian commander who had been in charge of troops on the Italo-French frontier. Light was cast on his elevation in Berlin rather than in Rome. Rome offered no explanation for the move but Berlin hailed it as evidence of closer cooperation between senior and junior partners of the Axis. Cavallero, Nazis explained, is a great and good friend of Germany and has played a leading part in Italo-German military collaboration.
However, it was apparent that the immediate cause for Badoglio's retirement lay in the success of Greek arms and the reverses of Italian forces in Albania. Military commanders seldom quit when their operations are going well.
Cavallero is 60 years old-nine years younger than Badoglio. He (continued to page eight)
Annual Seal Drive In Action
The sale of Christmas seals for the National Tuberculosis Association is proceeding on schedule according to Miss Mateel Rich, chairman of the University drive.
By mid-morning $65 in $5 bonds had been sold with reports just beginning to come in.
Of the money that will be collected, 75 percent is to be used by the Douglas County Tuberculosis association, 20 percent will go to the state Tuberculosis association and the remaining five percent will go to the National association.
No stamps will be mailed to members of the University staff until the committee on the Hill has an opportunity to get in touch with those who usually contribute. Those not reached by the committee will receive the usual letter after Dec. 10.
The drive will continue today and tomorrow.

Parade Tonight
Greets Santa
Seventeen University students are ready to take part in Lawrence's annual pre-Christmas parade, to begin at Sixth and Massachusetts at 7:30 tonight and move toward South Park for an initial meeting of "Santa and the kiddies."
A University float, the result of the efforts of Prof. T. D. Jones and other faculty and student members of the department of design, will picture the classical "manger scene," and 14 members of the K.U. Hunt Club have groomed their mounts and sharpened their spurs for participation in the parade. Lawrence street lights have been transformed into oversized candles as a part of the downtown decorations.
Roles in the manger-scene float will be taken by Betty Ann Leasure and Harry Nelson, fine arts seniors, and Alfred Linley, fine arts sophomore.
Westminster Party Tomorrow Night
The annual dinner-dance of Westminster hall is scheduled for tomorrow night at Evans Hearth. A winter theme has been chosen for this semi-formal party.

Blast at Allen As Big Six Meets
Talk in K. C. AboutBowls, Eligibility
Big Six big shots were aiming blasts at Dr. F. C. Allen, University basketball coach, today as the conference of Big Six coaches and representatives opened in Kansas City.
Allen's statement predicting the collapse of college football "within 10 years" was the cause of the battery of explosive comment on the subject. The Kansas Big Six representative, W. W. Davis, was one of the objectors. Davis said yesterday and repeated today, "Football is not on the way out. There are some adjustments to be made, but I firmly believe that football is not out at K.U."
Davis, Earl Falkenstein, athletic finance director, and Gwinn Henry, head football coach, are the Kansas

Thus Dr. F. C. (Phog) Allen answered all criticism against his "at the rate big time college football is going it will die of its own rottenness in 10 years" in an interview this afternoon.
Sticks To Grid Death Diagnosis
"If the postman stopped to kick at every dog that barked at his heels he would never get his mail delivered."
Students who in high school years do not show aptitude for theoretical studies should be apprenticed in industry, the Nobel prize winner and president of California Institute of Technology said last night in a radio address to Phi Beta Kappa chapters on the 164th anniversary of the honor society.
Wants Humane Schools
Not content with his blast against "big time" football Allen today indicated rising professional tendencies in basketball. He castigated greedy coaches of both sports and college presidents with "why should we sugar coat and lie to high school athletes when in the long run supplying him with an education is the basic purpose of college."
"Steering students away from an attempt to enter that higher educational system when they do not show any capacity for solving analytical problems with success is not only the most humane procedure possible, but it is also one 'of the highest forms of civic duty, since the success of our democracy depends upon it,' he said.
Hollywood, Dec. 6-(UP)-Dr. Robert A. Millikan advocated today a closer selection of the nation's college students as a safeguard for democracy.
Allen answered criticism that during his term as director of ath- (continued to page eight)

Those seniors who were initiated are James Crabtree, James Meredith, Laura Holste, Rosemary Jones, Betty Kimble, Budd Russell, and Ernest Klema. Bob Brooks, who was elected last spring, was also initiated yesterday.
Following the social hour and initiation of new members, the business meeting was held. Clark D. Carroll, professor in sociology, talked on "Discipline and Democracy." The meeting was held on the 164th anniversary of the founding of Phi Beta Kappa.
Seven senior students were initiated into Phi Beta Kappa at the annual fall meeting of the honorary scholastic fraternity which was held yesterday in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building.

Complaining that modern students are "morally and physically softened," he proposed to qualify youths for his ideal university by importing beautiful girls from Hollywood, Cal., and placing them on luxurious lounges near tables piled high with ultra-rich food.

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
A football team is no better than it's tackles, a great coach once said, and, according to Jayhawker basketball coach "Phog" Allen, the big workhorse rebounder is a like essential to any top-flight cage five.
The why of great tackles or tireless rebounders is seldom questioned. It is taken for granted that a large amount of the player's success is because of his coach; the rest because of his own native ability.
Yet there is another man, who, if he is a good man, can lead a strong supporting hand behind the scenes to the best of college coaches. He is the trainer. An intelligent understanding trainer can quiet the mind of the jittery star, aid in the building of squad unity, dispel misconceptions of practice or coaching routine, and instill extra fight before a tough game. In short, a good trainer is invaluable.
Now present in a long line of fine K.U. trainers is Dean Nesmith, himself once one of the best of Jayhawker tackles.
Drop in at the little training room in the basement of Robinson gym at 8 o'clock any morning and you will find Dean there, seriously beginning a none-to-pleasant never-ending task. Drop in on basketball practice in the afternoon and he will still be there. Drop in at 9 o'clock that evening and Dean may be just finishing his day's work.
Despite the tedious drag, during which may be treated dozens of bruises, sprains, cuts, and tormented athletic minds, he is always cheerful, sympathetic, helpful, and efficient. Before and during the game he is a fighter, aggressive with the players at the correct time, calm at the correct time.
Loyalty to player and coach alike is Dean's byword. The day before last week's Thanksgiving day game with the Colorado Aggies, Dean's father died. Receiving news of the death, Dean knew he ought to leave for his home in Belleville. But he also knew that a pitiful crippled Kansas team would need all the attention he could give them before game time. He stayed. He remained until the last Jayhawker had disappeared through the dressing room door, then left for his father's funeral next morning.
Let us appreciate a Dean Nesmith while we have one. For at the rate he is going he may climb to greener training pastures with Roland Logan, Jimmy Cox, Milt Kelly, and Elwyn Dees, before his little four-months old son, Leslie Wallace sees his first birthday.
The annual All-American football derby is now at its tongue twisting peak with no holds barred and none of the good old Notre Dame Irish names missing.
Your favorite Kansan intramural sport's writer, Clint Kanaga, who has never failed to name at least seven of Grantland Rice's All-Americans on his own selection since 1933 qualifies for space with his record and a bangup 1940 selection.

Faurot Contract Is Renewed
Columbia, Mo., Dec. 6—(UP)—The board of curators of the University of Missouri late yesterday reappointed for one year head coach Don Faurot and two other members of the Tiger coaching staff, President Frederick A. Middlebush announced.
The other men reappointed with Faurot are Chauncey Simpson, backfield coach, and John Simmons, freshman coach. These are the only members of the coaching staff whose tenure comes before the board at this time, Middlebush said.
The salary for Farrot, who has completed his sixth year as mentor of the Tigers, will remain the same, officials said.
Basketball Tickets Selling Briskly
Basketball season ticket sales show signs of large crowds at home games this year, according to reports from Earl Falkenstein, finance director in the athletic office. Choice seats are rapidly being sold out on the main floor and in the first balcony.
Wins To Favorites
Tekes And Alphs Open Season As Expected
Intramural basketball got under way last night with the five favored teams coming through with victories as was expected.
Tau Kappa Epsilon won from Alpha Tau Omega 27 to 17, Sigma Alpha Epsilon downed Sigma Nu 27 to 18, Phi Kappa Psi defeated Phi Delta Theta 15 to 8, Delta Chi triumphed over Delta Upsilon 26 to 17, and Dunakin I fell before the Hellhounds 22 to 18.
By CLINT KANAGA
Scoring for the evening was distributed evenly among the Tekes as each member of the starting lineup gathered at least two goals in an impressive win over the A.T.O. five. B. Arthur was the thorn in the Teke's victory, but the Teke's lead was never seriously threatened.
"Dumpy" Bond, 6' 2" Sig Alph center, paced his teammates to a hard earned win over a fighting Sigma Nu team. Porter and Israel stood out for the Nus. Absence of stellar Bill Hall, graduated guard of last year's team, didn't seem to effect the Sig Alphs play.
Splendid all-around play by "Chuck" Wenstrand and Ed Hall characterized the Delta Chi victory. The Chi's moved into the front with a 11 to 4 halftime lead, and went on to win easily 27 to 16. Don Mosser tallied ten points for the D.U.'s, including three beautiful long shots.
An air-tight zone defense by the Phi Psis held the Phi Delts to two field goals and won without apparent trouble 15-8. Sealy and Arbuckle were stars for a fine Phi Psi team while D. Haynes stood out for the Phi Delts.
In the roughest game of the evening, the Hellhounds nosed out the Dunakins in the final quarter, 22-18. Shane and Unruh, Hellhound forwards, sparked the last quarter rally. Cunningham, Dunakin guard who played on the K.U. freshman five last year, scored half of his team's points.

TALK IN K.C.---representatives at the conference. They left for Kansas City this morning.
Other coaches and representatives to make comment included Harry Welsh, a member of the Missouri advisory board of athletics, who said "Allen is contradicting himself. His basketball teams go on long trips, and play in big time tournaments."
Though the Kansas City meeting is not concerned with Allen's controversy, there are other problems facing the conference. The big problem, as always, is the question of
George Veenker, Iowa State athletic director and former grid coach at Ames, sounded a patriotic note in his comment. "Football is our American game. It has proven its worth and strength. Ten years from now football should be at its peak, and beginning its most fruitful years," Veenker said.
post-season games, and the situation is especially acute as Nebraska, staunchest supporter of the old "no post-season games" rule, is to compete in the Rose Bowl.
Also to be considered are the junior college transfer rule, and the usual Big Six eligibility problems. No definite plans are expected to materialize today or tomorrow, but the green light will be on for the spring meeting of the representatives.
From Kansas and Kansas State viewpoints the junior college rule is the most important one of the meeting. Under the present rule Kansas and Kansas State are the only schools greatly suffering the loss of one year of eligibility after transferring from junior colleges. Junior college stars tend to seek other schools where they may compete the last two years in college without a year's residence at the school.

Steers Are Good Despite Heavy Grad Losses
Austin, Dec. 6—(Special)—If you can lose one all-American guard and another all-conference guard, and still have a good basketball team, then Texas will this year.
The irrepressible Bobby Moers, the Steers' great all-American, has relinquished his place to curly-headed Udell Moore, son of the old-time Yankee pitcher, Wiley Moore, and the stocky Oklahoma looks fit for the job.
Moore will be the only one-year letterman at a starting post the remaining four having two letters each, promising experience galore.
Those four are Captain Chester Granville, Thurman Hull, W. D. Houpt, and Denton Cooley—all mainstays of the club that last year fell one point short in losing their conference title to Rice Institute.
Have Six Lettermen
That accounts for five of Texas' six returning lettermen. The other, Malcolm Kutner, a junior and an all-conference football end, will report after the Steers' schedule-closer with Florida Saturday. He will miss the midwestern trip that will throw Texas into Kansas on December 10 and 11, and then against Oklahoma A. & M, and their long home game winning streak on December 12.
These six must carry Texas through the hottest Southwest Conference race in years as reserve strength is wanting.
Texas' starting five will have Granville and Cooley at forwards, Houpt at center, and Hull and Moore at guards.
The Steers are long on experience and will present five of the finest ball handlers in the conference. Every man in the starting lineup is a capable scorer, likely to take honors in any game.
Hull, a forward last year and a good one, has been moved to guard on his ability to hit long shots. One of the most polished ball players in

Football Death Sentence
DR. F. C. Allen pointed out one fatal symptoms in collegiate football, speaking in Kansas City the other night.
Ten years to live, is the sentence Doctor Allen pronounced. Professionalism and the hypocracy that it produces in college football will cause the suicide, he said.
Some persons will be likely to apply Doctor Allen's statements to the local condition, although they were made about the collegiate situation as a whole.
Doctor Allen was formerly director of athletics at the University, and coached college football for 10 years. He is well informed on athletic problems, and probably knows whereof he speaks. Many persons are inclined to side in with him.
Doctor Allen, University basketball coach, was attending the opening of the Naismith league in the Municipal Auditorium. The statement was made informally, not in the course of a speech.
Doctor Allen is not now a football coach, however, nor is he director of athletics. The University of Kansas is now in the middle of a big football problem of its own.
Perhaps Doctor Allen is dead right. How- over, even if future events prove his statement, in view of the local problem, it might have been much better if he had withheld his prophecy.

"THE least governed are the best governed"
THE least governed are the best governed has heard and heeded in Kansas. Since 1933, the Kansas legislature has tried to do its art in better government by passing fewer illconsidered laws. This is accomplished by previewing proposed legislation in a legislative council.
The council is made up of 25 legislators who study problems before they come up for consideration by the whole legislative body. The council also serves as an administrative aid. last year the council saved the state about $100,000.
Prof. F. H. Guild, of the University political science department, has been lent to the legislature to handle research for the council.
The legislative council method of finding possible errors in proposed methods before they are passed, has gained much attention in other states. Eight states have adopted similar plans. More than half of the states have asked for information about the Kansas system.
"Slowness and inefficiency" is one of the most serious charges that has been hurled against Democracy. In the present crisis we must have efficient and good government to meet the "blitz" actions of the dictator countries. Seven years ago Kansas began one innovation in legislative procedure which will be an aid to the country in getting efficiency without sacrificing democracy.
Congratulations to Kansas!
Two Heads Are Fine
CHAIRMAN Martin Dies, of the committee to investigate un-American activities, is asking Congress to continue his committee when its present authorization runs out, in January.

LETTERS★
Two heads are better than one—but only if they work together. The F.B.I. has been training men for years to hunt down criminals. They go further. Every F.B.I. man is a trained lawyer. He knows how to gather enough evidence for a conviction before he makes the arrest. There is no doubt that the F.B.I. should be given every facilitation.
If Chairman Dies can keep quiet long enough to give Federal agents a chance to operate, and if he is willing to cooperate to the fullest with all investigations by the F.B.I., his committee should be continued. If he is not, he should be cut off from public funds and gagged

How To Observe 'Do Not Disturb'
By RODNEY MORRISON
These tea parties without the tea that sorority pledge classes give in the library during their study hours are a disgrace to the University. If the pledges only knew it, killing time without disturbing everyone else is as simple as a Sigma Chi.
All that is necessary for this new way of killing time is a text book. Since every student is supposed to have at least one book—
for decorative purpos, if nothing else—this should not prove a stumbling block.
The sorority pledge, without uttering a single peep, can kill plenty of
time with the Black-out method. All that she needs to do is to pick out a sentence similar to the following: Continued on page 7

Drooped over the railing of the little archway looking to the west stairway down, Sigma Chi's Bob Beeler and Gene Miller were holding heavy chitchat with Theta Annabelle Fisher the other morning.

Lewis Essay Contest Opens
Some student expert on applied Christianity will be given a chance this winter to cash in on his knowledge to the tune of $100.
With a May 1 deadline for this year's Hattie Elizabeth Lewis essay contest on applied Christianity, college essayers can spend those long winter nights making footnotes.
Announcement of the winners will be made at Commencement next spring, when the first prize of $100 the second prize of $75, and the third prize of $50 will be distributed.
Although the deadline for the essays is May 1, each contestant must hand in at the Chancellor's office, not later than April 1, a sealed envelope containing the real name of the contestant and a tentative outline of the discussion.
Three copies of the essay must be handed in and the papers must not be less than 5,000 words nor more than 10,000 words.
On the outside of the envelope must be written the assumed name of the contestant and the exact title of his essay.
The judging committee for the contest will be composed of Miss Myra Hull, instructor of English, Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology, Siegfried Mickelson, assistant professor of journalism, and Miss Elsie Neuenschwander, professor of romance languages.
The essay which wins first prize will probably be published if the committee considers the quality of the work sufficiently high.
HOW TO OBSERVE---
(continued from page one)
"Careful, Ferrats, a good beating hurts." Then by marking out a few words and letters she has the poser "Are rats good eating?"
If she tires of this she can always go on to the Flip-a-page, Skip-a-page. By flipping the pages until she comes to a sentence at the bottom of a right-hand page that is incomplete at a good spot—for example, "John his soul filled with peace and love towards all the world, rose from the Bible . . ." Here she flips the pages until she finds at the top of the left-hand sheet, some appropriate ending. Then she glues the intervening leaves together and it reads thus:
"John, his soul filled with peace and love towards all the world, rose from the Bible, kicked open the door, slammed his cowering wife against the kitchen cabinet, and smashed the lighted lamp to the floor. Boy was he drunk!" This is just a small part of what the former noisy pledge can expect. It doesn't disturb anyone but isn't it just too intriguing!
For those whose wits are a bit dim and must needs smell the peanuts before they'll believe it's an elephant, there is the Dipsy-Doodle trick. Write some snappy, piquant sentence such as "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country" on the outside of the book. Then open it and the sentence is gone. Close it and there it is again. Open it—close it—well, you get the idea. It can go on for hours and often does.
As n last resort—and it should never be resorted to except as a last resort—there is always the Finale. The time killer rips out the even pages; then she rips out the odd pages; and then she settles back and studies the book.

News From Page One
ITALIAN GENERAL---
(continued from page one) has been close to Mussolini and was one of the first undersecretaries of war named to office by Il Duce. He is a veteran of the Turkish, World and Ethiopian wars. His relations with Berlin have been strengthened as Italy's representative on the Axis military and economic committee.
At the same time on the other extreme of the front Greeks were said to be pressing steadily toward Elbasan, the Italian central bastion only 10 miles from Tirana, the Albanian capital.
Both British and German accounts agreed that the Carnarvon Castle suffered damage in the encounter and the British admitted some casualties.
The Italian official communique made tacit admission of difficulties on the Elbasan front where, Rome reported, Greek reinforcements were pressing the Italian left wing hard despite new Fascit counter-attacks.
In the south Atlantic the British auxiliary cruiser, Carnarvon Castle, a 20,122-ton converted merchant ship, finally caught up with one of Germany's armed commerce raiders but apparently was unable to put the Nazi warship out of action.
London said the battle was fought at extreme range. The German raider was reported to be heavily armed and disguised as a merchant ship. It was speedier than the British warship and managed to steam out of range. London reports, despite utmost efforts of the Carnarvon Castle to get in a death blow.
Indications of Britain's hope eventually to carry the war back to the European continent was seen in reports of extensive practice operations by 40,000 British troops in Britain.
The troops, equipped with tanks, armored cars, dive-bombers and all the implements of war utilized by the German panzer divisions in their break-through on the continent simulated operations which would follow a British landing on the continent.
In Bucharest the death penalty was decreed for military rebellion and an "impressive" display of German military forces was conducted outside the capital.
In Shanghai, the Japanese army organ, Sin Shun Pao, demanded a "smashing blow" against the United States and contended that the United States should be "extinguished" because of its aid to China.

"If I favored basketball over football, why did I not build a field house instead of the Memorial stadium? The main reason for building the stadium in preference to a field house was the greater revenue it would attract."

BIG SIX BANS PLAYOFFS
Allen Okays Rule Which Could Have Cost K.U. Last Cage Title
By GABE PARKS
Although the new basketball legislation passed Friday at the Big Six meeting may have placed Kansas cagers in third place last year, the rule has the approval of "Phog" Allen, Jayhawk cage mentor.
"It suits me fine," Coach Allen said yesterday. "Anything the Big Six decides is for the best and is all right with me."
The new rule was passed by Big Six faculty representatives and athletic directors in Kansas City.
The new rule provides that when there is a tie at the end of the basketball season, the team having the best offensive and defensive record will be awarded the championship. This includes the right to represent the Big Six conference in the fifth district National Collegiate Athletic association tournament.
The rules also provide that if it is a threeway tie and one team has won twice from the
other during the season, the winner of the series will be the conference champion.
"A tie for the championship is a rare thing," Doctor Allen said. "There has been only one triple tie and one double tie in the history of the Big Six. The thing to do is to try and win an unchallenged claim to the title."
"In the past, my policy has been to play the regulars until the game was on ice and then give the third and fourth stringers a chance, as I did in the varsity-freshman game. The new rule will work against the substitutes because now I will have to keep the regulars in as long as possible to maintain the best offensive-defensive record."
Had the new playoff rule been in effect last year, the standings would have been

Wheeler Emerges From Charts, Graphs, To Talk About Weather Psychologist Sees Civil War Ahead For Europe
By ED GARICH
Eight long years.
Eight hard years.
This isn't the lament of some dishard republican. But rather it is the time Dr. R. H. "Organismic" Wheeler, head of the department of psychology, has spent getting out a three-volume leaflet entitled "History of World Climate in Relation to the Rise and Fall of Government," or, "Democracy Rained Out."
In this tome, Doctor Wheeler attempts to establish world climate, and shows how rain and temperature cause Hitler, Mussolini, world wars, civil wars, and the high mortality rate among dead people.
Last week Doctor Wheeler fought his way out from behind a mass of meteorological charts and records of tree growth (which he has doggedly charted) and announced the completion of his long and arduous task.

The book is practically revolutionary in character, since no other psychologist has made an attempt up to the present to be practical.
Explaining the war in Europe. Doctor Wheeler says that, since we (continued to page five)
DR. R. H. WHEELER
Doctor Wheeler predicts that the war now playing in Europe will break down into a general mess of civil wars, because the world is entering into another cold epoch. This is all part of the psychologist's "cycle" theory of climate. It seems that the world's climate goes through a series of changes which can be charted as to regularity. When the weather is changing from cold to warm cultural aspects of the society are on the upswing, and people like Benny Goodman starve to death. When the weather is cold, civil wars are popular. As well as off-the-face hats, no doubt.
War Less Intense
Varsity Not Impressive Against Frosh
By DON H. PIERCE
Kansan Sports Editor
None too impressive in their precarious 33-31 victory over the freshman Friday night, the Jayhawker varsity sweated through an hour and a half drill yesterday morning in preparation for their two-game series with a powerful Texas University basketball club, which opens at 7:30 Monday night in Hoch auditorium.
The Longhorns are the only Southwest conference team to defeat the Jayhawkers in seven starts over the past three years. Two years ago in Austin, when the two teams last met, Doctor Allen's five had to scramble to salvage the final encounter in their

CARL'S
Critic Says Concert Is Noble Experiment
Bv ED GARICH
This article should probably start with a recommendation to the University symphony that they in solemn conclave assemble, and come to some common agreement about the tempo to be used in the various numbers on their program. When some 100 musicians and one director attempt to perform music in front of an audience which overflows into the second balcony of Hoch auditorium they should stay within a measure of each other. "American Symphonette No
Perhaps we're too critical of a strictly amateur organization like the symphony, but when we can listen to the best orchestras in the United States via the airwaves, it's a little hard to reconcile ourselves to anything less. Views Confirmed
We even went so far as to state our views to a member of Thursday night's group, and he confirmed them pretty much. Realizing that the acoustics in Hoch auditorium couldn't give a good battle to the acoustics in our basement, we made a point of checking up on the opinions of people who sat at different places in the room. The answers were hearteningly similar to ours.
To plunge into the details, the first number was almost expertly done. Of course, the "Euryanthe Overture" (Weber) is not among the most difficult numbers for orchestra, and the symphony has played it three times this year, but it was a commendable reading.
Lenient Over Till
About Strauss" Till Eulenspiegel' we're inclined to be lenient. After all the University bowers and blowers are not professional.
Like Philosophy Course
Considering that this masterpiece has caused big symphony orchestras plenty of ticklish moments, the job done Thursday night deserves approval. Everything went well except in the most difficult parts where various instruments tossed the melody back and forth like an unwanted relative, and in the transitions in tempo, which were not as smooth as they might be.
The group of numbers which filled in between the heavy stuff was mostly creditably done. The first, "Music Box" (Liadoff) served much the same purpose as a course in philosophy; it filled a groun.
The second, "Pavanne" from
"American Symphonette No. 2"
(Gould) was directed by the orchestra's assistant conductor, Fugene Crabb, and was one of the best on the program. Mr. Crabb exhibited sureness and forcefulness. The next number, Johann (three-four) Strauss "Perpetual Motion" was also directed by a student, Richard Rice.

Arrest Palmer Again; Charge Is Perjury
Robert Palmer, former graduate student at the University of Kansas, was arrested Thursday night in Tulsa, and will be returned to Lawrence to face charges of perjury.
County Attorney Milton P. Beach and Undersheriff Lathrop B. Read, now in Oklahoma City with extradition papers obtained from Governor Payne Ratner, will return Palmer to Lawrence as soon as the papers are ratified by the governor of Oklahoma.
Palmer, also wanted for trial on a charge of possession of intoxicating liquor, could not be taken from Oklahoma on the misdemeanor liquor charge; consequently County Attorney Beach filed charges for perjury, a felony, Friday. The charges allegue that Falmer perjured himself when he testified in the May term of district court that he had not sold liquor within the last year.
Palmer was arrested in Tulsa on authority of a bench warrant issued by District Judge Hugh Means when the former University of Kansas student failed to appear to stand trial for a second time on the liquor charge. His first trial resulted in disagreement of the jury. His bond of $500, posted by his parents for his appearance, was declared forfeited by Judge Means.
Mrs. Palmer, who served a sentence in the county jail here for possession of liquor prior to her husband's arrest, is working in a Tulsa

number is good enough to merit all the applause the audience showered on the composer. It's too bad the orchestra didn't do either of them justice. Tempo trouble again.
Maurice Ravel's "Bolero" came up next, and since the orchestral feud on beat was still in progress, the number suffered accordingly. Every other orchestra plays the number in such a way that both the volume and the tempo increase gradually to a terrific climax. The orchestra's job was a noble experiment, well off the beaten track, in both respects. Liked Leven Withers
chestra, the nimble keyboard antles of Loren Wifers, and the modern dancing of the Alice Sherbon Concert Dance group, all burst on the amazed eyes in unison. There was just too much to take it in one evening.
The last number, Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," would lend credit to that master of the threering circus, P. T. Barnum. The or-
Loren Withers' technique is the equal of many pianists of greater experience and reputation.
The dancers shouldn't have been. They added nothing to the number, and merely took attention away from the music. We aren't cultured enough to see modern dance as art, but that's beside the point. As far as we're concerned, George Gershwin can interpret a mood with just his music. We did not get the connection between the music and the dance.

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Shooting to you a few dots and dashes on Texas basketball playing style and personnel, hoping to give some idea of what the Jayhawkers must face when they collide with the big Southwest conference crew in their two-game series Monday and Tuesday nights in Hoch auditorium.
Following are the salient points of the style of play employed by the Longhorns, which will look somewhat disorganized in comparison with what the average Jayhawker fan is used to being served:
1. Long on height, the Steers depend on fierce rebounding for a major part of their attack. They prefer to try ceaseless tip-ins once they shoot instead of passing out from the tangle under the basket.
2. When they fast break, the two guards lead the surge down the floor, not the forwards, who are too large and relatively slow. The three lane type of fast break is employed.
3. The Texans employ a three-out, two-in set offensive style with their biggest man playing a single post around the keyhole region. This man will handle the ball on all floor plays.
4. They dribble vastly more than any Big Six team, but are better ball handlers than most Southwest conference clubs. Prefer one handed shots to the customary two hander.
5. The Southerners employ a strict man-for-man defense switching men on offensive screens.
6. The last and most important point is that they play rougher than most college basketball teams and may lose one or two of their best performers via the foul route.
Now for the personnel. The front line men are big rugged rebounders with plenty of heigh, endurance, and ball handling ability. The guards are fairly small, fast, and dangerous.
1. Captain Chester Granville, F.
6 ft. 3 in., 195 pounds—"Big Trapper"
as he is known to his mates is a rawboned 2-letterman, possessing a neat fake and subsequent right handed pivot shot. A fine rebounder.
One of the two most dangerous men on the club.
2. W, D. "Speedy" Houpe, C, 6 ft 5 in, 215 pounds—A lean blond, possessing the best repetoire of shots on the team. His favorites are a right hand pivot, and two-handed overhead jump-turn efforts. Gets most of his points on tip ins. A good rebounder. Fair on defense.
3. Denton Cooley, F, 6 ft. 4 in.
195 pounds.The best defensive man in the front line.Also a good right handed or two handed shot,
hard battler, and excellent rebounder.In line for Phi Beta Kappa next spring.
4. Thurman "Sleu-foot" 'Hull, G, 6 ft, 165 pounds.—The most experienced player of the five. A forward for two years, he was changed to guard this year because of speed. A hustler, clever ball handler, good fast breaker. Specializes in a righthanded push shot.
5. Udell Moore, G, 6 ft., 160 pounds. —Son of Wiley Moore, former pitcher with Kansas City Blues and N.Y. Yanks. Best defensive man on the
Frosh Showing Insures Bright Cage Future
Kansas University basketball prospects for the future are bright.
Even if one did not wish to believe this, he would be feroed to accept such a conclusion after the yearling's fine court showing against "Phog" Allen's varsity cagers Friday night in Hoch auditorium.
For the Frosh, who kept things close before succumbing in the end 33-31, came up with a starting five which more than lived up to pre-season notice. Evans A Standout
In Ray Evans, fine all-around star from Wyandotte high school and Don "Red" Ettinger, Independence, Mo., the Greenies uncovered two clever passing, close guarding, sharp shooting guards. Evans, who had been out for practice but three days, looked especially good as he fed his mates through the close varsity defense with phenomenal passing and took freshman scoring honors with 11 points.
Paul Turner at forward, displayed a steady brand of ball, collecting nine points, while Jack Ballard at center, and big Charlie Black, and George Phillips at forwards gave indication that they will be more than ready to step into bigger shoes next winter.
Will Play Again
Doctor Allen commented after the game that it was the best freshman squad he had seen in 22 years. "Those kids have height, speed, and plenty of natural basketball ability," he said. He promised a return engagement of the two teams later in the year.
Ballard opened the evening's festivities with a neat lay-in after taking a quick bounce from Evans. Turner followed with a lefthander from the free throw line to give the yearlings their only lead of the night.
The remainder of the first quarter, however, was a one-man scoring spree by handsome Bill Hogben, senior forward, who broke loose for all his team's first canto points to give the Varsity a 9-8 lead. He

carried off the evening's scoring honors with 13 points.
The oldsters increased their lead to 19-12 at halftime on goals by Engleman, Hogben, and Allen and substitute forward Vance Ha11 dumped in seven third quarter tallies to hike the total to 23-18. But here Evans, Ettinger, and Turner closed with a late barrage on the basket which kept the crowd of 1,000 persons in an uproar throughout the waning moments.

Pi K A's Upset Sigma Chi's Newman's Win
By CLINT KANAGA
A long side shot by Bill Atwell with two minutes to play produced the first major upset of the intramural basketball season Saturday morning as the Pi Kappa Alpha five nosed out a favored Sigma Chi team 13 to 12. The Pi K.A. were in front at the half, 8 to 5, but were trailing by one point when Atwell came through with his winning shot. Other game standouts besides Atwell, were Hyer, Sigma Chi, and Engel, Pi K.A.
The Newman club, paced by Marvin Vandaveer and Floyd Davis, whalapped the Dead End Kids, 28 to 5. The Caballeros, with Blair in the starring role, turned back the Mississippi Meteors 23 to 19.
Geiger and Altman led the Beta attack as they downed Kappa Eta Kappa 27 to 17 Friday afternoon. The Betas had the game under control throughout, leading 12 to 2 at halftime. Bolt, K.E.K. guard, gathered nine points for the losing five. Taus Impressive
A dark horse, Delta Tau Delta, turned in an impressive 33 to 6 win over the Theta Taus. Jack Stapleton, Delta Tau, sank four baskets and four free throws to take scoring honors for the contest.
Hensley and Hall led the way in the first Kappa Sig victory, defeating Battenfeld ball 27 to 11. Lowen, Batenfeld guard, was outstanding in defeat.
Last year's championship runners-up, Alpha Kappa Psi, slaughtered P.A.D., 48 to 15. The Gibbens brothers of football fame, newest additions to the Psi team, collaborated with Gene Funk, an all-star last year, to lead the scoring spree. Eps In Close Win
Sigma Phi Epsilon trimuped over Acacia 27 to 21 in a hard fought battle which saw the Eps in front 15 to 7 at the half. John Martin, Sig Ep, performed best for the victors.
Free throws by Clawson and Kretz in the final quarter gave the Jayhawk Co-op a 9 to win over the Ramblers. Sigma Nu "B" came through with a 24-8 triumph over the Sig Ep "B". Fogel and Page, Sigma Nus, were stars.
Beta "Ba" won from A.T.O. "B"
36 to 10 with Art Robinson, center,
gathering 11 points. Sigma Chi "B"
turned back Pi K.A. "B" 32 to 16.
D.U. "B" edged out A.K. Psi "B"
18 to 17.
Phi Delta "B" crushed Delta Tau "B" to 10. Phi Gam "B" won from Teke "B" 18 to 12. Teke "C" fell before Phi Psi "C" 16 to 18. Beta "C" defeated Delta Tau "C" 24 to 9.
K.U. Fencers Face Central "Y" In K.C.
University fencers, coached by Jim Report, met the Kansas City Central Y.M.C.A. at Kansas City yesterday. Squadmen who made the trip were: Haven Glassmire, Fred Lawson, Bill Belt, Dave Francisco, and Jack Cadden. A round robin of bouts is scheduled with competition in the foil, epee, and saber classes.

BIG SIX BANG PLAYOFFS-
what the result might have been because the coaches would have concentrated on running up a score instead of merely winning games."
Doctor Allen left yesterday afternoon to join Gwinn Henry and Prof. W. W. Davis, faculty representative, at the Big Six meeting in Kansas City. Earl Falkenstein, athletic director, returned from the conference yesterday morning.
Other business completed by the directors concerned the dates of the rack, wrestling and swimming meets.
Big Six indoor track meet will be run off in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, March 1, with Gwinn Henry in charge.
Wrestlers will hold their meet in Manhattan, March 7-8 with "Mike" Ahearn directing.
Major "Biff" Jones will supervise the swimming meet in Lincoln, Feb. 28 to March 1. He will also be in charge of the outdoor track meet at Lincoln May 23-24.
The directors canceled the annual tennis and golf meets and substituted a round-robin schedule with each school playing the other members once. The champion will be decided on a won and lost percentage basis.
Kansas will play three conference football games at home next year, according to the schedule announced at the meeting. The Jayhawkers will tangle with Iowa State, Kansas State, and Missouri at Lawrence, while Nebraska and Oklahoma will be played at Lincoln and Norman.
TEXANS HERE MONDAY—
Houpt, and captain Granville, will average six feet, four inches. All three men are excellent rebounders, better-than-average ball handlers, and expert tip-in men. At the guards will be Udell Moore who is making a valiant effort to fill the shoes of last year's All-American Bobby Moers, and Thurman Hull, wk. will be playing his third year as a regular.
Hogben, Engleman Improved
Indications hold true over the weekend the Jayhawkers should be at virtually full strength when they answer the opening tip-off. Bill Hogben, senior forward, who has been the scoring mainstay in the Allenmen's two warmup contests, said that his sprained thumb was much improved Saturday. Howard "Rope" Engleman, another senior front line man, who has been under the weather with a cold, also should be near top form by Monday.
Two other seniors, Bobby Allen, and John Kline, will be at center and guard respectively with Marvin Sollenberger, a husky sophomore, slated to supplant Bob Johnson at the other sentinel post.
WHEEELER EMERGES-
are in a transition from hot to cold weather, the brawl will be less intense than the one which we saved the world for Hitler. If the transition is a long one, the war will probably drag out, but if the transition is short, the chances are good that insurrection will break out and end the war in a year. Why doesn't somebody tell Hitler all this, and show him he's a victim of frostbite?
"Since we have just been through a warm period which began about 1897, chances are good that at least four out of six decades remaining in the century will be cold. Comparable to other long cold periods in history that have resulted in extensive democratic developments, this ought to mean that countries of the world not yet democratized should, through a series of revolutions, line up with older democracies of the world. In those areas where democratic institutions have declined, they should revive on a more permanent basis," says the doctor.
Climate In 600 B.C.
The first volume of the book deals with world climate from 600 B.C. to the present time. Dr. Wheeler gets his dope on climate from the growth of California Sequoias and Arizona pines and firs, which he believes record the climate accurately.
Volume two of the book of records the rise and fall of governments over the world in relation to warm and cold eras in history. Volume three contains 231 world maps and the bibliography of 2500 titles.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1940
The Kansan Comments -the general direction is upward, that is the best we can hope for. We do what we can to reverse the downward trends and accelerate the upward ones, but we must not expect perfection or even consistent advancement in the changing drama of human affairs.
EDITORIALS★
PATTER
A Confession of Faith
BOOKS★
UPON invitation of the Kansan editors, I have consented to write the guest editorial for today. And, in the best manner of English teachers, I wish to center my comments upon a poem which has meant much to me. Its author is Robert Frost, known to many of us from his visit to our campus; its title is "The Armful".
Yet the discerning reader who looks through the particular instance to the universal significance beyond will find in Mr. Frost's poem much more than a familiar street scene. The bottles, buns, and other parcels are figurative as well as literal. Each human being carries with him a mass of activities, interests, plans, duties, none of which he wishes to abandon, all of which seem of some value to him. Even when the unimportant are discarded, one day seems too short, one life too short, for all that we wish to do or think that we ought to do. The claims upon us are oftentimes conflicting and hard to reconcile. With difficulty we maintain them, we struggle to keep some harmony and balance in our daily lives and sometimes we fail. The smash-up may come in our health, our business, our love, our family affairs, our scholastic records, or in some other quarter; but the one parcel slips, the others follows, and we find ourselves sitting ludicrously in the midst of our thwarted plans and shattered hopes, crying that the world is unjust, that our efforts have surely merited a better reward than this.
For every parcel I stoop down to seize,
I lose some other off my arms and knees,
And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns,
Extremes too hard to comprehend at once,
Yet nothing I should care to leave behind.
With all I have to hold with, hand and mind
And heart, if need be, I will do my best
To keep their building balanced at my breast.
I crouch down to prevent them as they fall;
Then sit down in the middle of them all.
I had to drop the armful in the road
And try to stack them in a better load.
On a first reading, these lines are deceptively simple. The image is familiar in our actual experience and even finds a frequent place in the comic strips. The person overladen with parcels, trying to balance them without losing any, and finally dropping the whole armful, is a usual and somewhat ludicrous sight. Each of us has played the role at one time or another.
The progress of humanity, whether of one person or of the whole race, is never in a straight line. It zigzags across the chart of eternity in a whole series of progressions and retrogressions, of high and low points. If
May I humbly suggest that the proper test of a man is not whether he falls down but how he picks himself up. The careless man will bluster, "To hell with it," and stalk off sullen and pouting; the weakling will whine and call upon the whole world to witness his misfortune; the cynic will remark, "I told you so," and take the certain perverse pride in this ironic circumstance which proves the world is hopeless; the courageous man will look about him, gather together such parcels as are still intact, and "try to stack them in a better load." Struggling to his feet, he will balance once more the unwieldy bundles at his breast and will move forward such distance as he can before the jolting of his stride jars loose and forces him to stop and stack them over again.
Impermanence is the law of life, the law of development. The rock is reasonably permanent, its slow organic changes measured in aeons rather than in years; but it cannot develop much within the span of a human life. Yet we cry for the stability of the rock while we demand the advantages of change. We insist that our institutions, our religions, our political systems, are built for the ages, and when they collapse we cry out that the world holds no hope, that nothing can be achieved since we have not already achieved it. We should remember that there is no change without risk and no development without change. The living tree becomes more permanent after it is petrified, but it also becomes very dead.
LETTERS★
A foolish pessimism is worse than a blind optimism. The optimist who fails to see the harsher realities may perchance accomplish something, even by accident; but the pessimist will not accomplish anything, for he will not try. "There is no use," he says, "the cards are stacked against you from the start." The better way is that of the man who sees things as they are and then seeks to discover what can be done about them, confident that something can be done.
When Omar Khayyam "sent his soul through the invisible" to determine the nature of the after-life, he was disappointed that he did not get a complete answer. When Cardinal Newman followed the "kindly light" of God's teaching, he did not ask that all knowledge should be revealed at once; "one step enough for me," he declared. One step at a time is about as much as any of us can forsee; visibility is usually poor in the atmosphere which enshrouds the future. But the one step is what we should have to take next anyway, whether we behold the "distant scene" or not. Let us then have courage to take it. Gathering together our scattered parcels after each fresh disaster, balancing them precariously in our arms, we stagger forward through the fog and mist, toward what end we do not know, knowing only that the track must be explored, that those who follow after us may find the going easier for our having passed that way.-John E. Hankins, Associate Professor of English

Men's Dorms Are Latest University Friends Give Many Campus Buildings
Of the 31 units comprising the University on Mount Oread, 13 of them, having a value of more than a million and a half dollars, were gifts to the University.
The latest additions are the three men's dormitories: Battenfeld hall, Templin hall, and Car- $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $ ruth hall. versity the building which is now
Battenfeld hall, housing 52 men, was built by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Battenfield of Kansas City, Mo., as a memorial to their son, John Battenfeld, who died while a student at the University.
Templin hall, formerly the Acacia fraternity house, was purchased, redecorated, and furnished by alumni and friends.
Carruth hall was a gift of William B. Spooner of Boston, Mass., in 1894 and was used as the Chancellor's residence for many years.
Mr. Spooner also gave the University the building which is now the Spooner-Thayer Museum.
In 1899, George Fowler of Liverpool, England, built the Fowler shops, which house the R.O.T.C. and the machine shops.
Oread Training school was built from funds donated by the faculty and friends as were the Memorial stadium and the Memorial Union building.
Watkins Memorial hospital was built and equipped by the late Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, and her will provided that her home should become the Chancellor's residence.
ONE PERFECT ROSE By DOROTHY PARKER from "Not So Deep As A Well"
A single flow'r he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet—
One perfect rose.
I knew the language of the Flowerlet;
"My fragile leaves," it said, "his heart enclose."
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.
ROCK CHALK TALK
The first four men Marvin Goebel saw when he came up on the Hill at 7 o'clock Saturday morning were dressed in R.O.T.C. uniform. First rifle practice was at 8:30, but uniforms were not required. Could the reserve officers have been on an all night raid?
When Pi Phi Patty Lockwood left the Phi Delt party last night, she carried with her a bunch of mistletoe. For a souvenir?
This week the Phi Psi's scored again in Hollywood. Deanna Durbin's fiance, Vaughn Paul, is a Phi Psi who did his book worming in California. His K.U. fraternity brothers are framing a letter to invite him to bring Deana here so they can kiss the bride.
Another time the Phi Psi's scored was at the basketball game Thursday night with the Phi Delts. Tragedy of the week for feminine fans of the two teams was that they played the game at 11 p.m., half an hour after coed curfew.
Sigma Nu Barrett Van Dyke gave library studiers a jolt Thursday morning when he upset his chair with a mighty crash. Witnesses in the east end of the reading room report that he was doing a sleeping beauty act at the time.
Playing post office as well as playing football seems to come natural to Mizzou's Paul Christman. Did you see the picture in the Friday evening Kansas City Star of Christman doing a quick mug with Inez Potter after tasting the lipstick of all her sorority sisters.
In the early edition, the Star's topline read, "Christian Hemmed by Kappas, Each Ready for a Kiss." Now Inez isn't a Kappa, she's a Theta.
Before the next edition, however, some outraged Theta, insulted Kappa, or Greek reporter enlightened the desk that Kappa Alpha Theta is known by the last letter, not the first, because the rest of the papers had the topline correct.
Now Christian can clip both versions for his already bulging publicity scrapbook.

STUDENT PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
OLUME XXXVIII
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1940
NUMBER 57.
Include K.U. In Defense Training
The University's participation in the national defense program was assured during the weekend when Chancellor Deane W. Malott received word from the United States Department of Education that the courses submitted by the School of Engineering had been recommended for approval.
Students accepted for training will be exempt from payment of tuition and fees, but will furnish their own textbooks and pay their living expenses. On completion of the course, they will be eligible for a civil service examination and appointment under civil service. Handed by Russell
Courses approved are:
F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering, has been appointed by Chancellor Malott to head the defense training program.
Machine Designs: Training for design of ordnance and mechanized equipment. The entire time covered by lectures, design and preparation will require about four months. Students completing the course will be qualified for civil service examination for engineering aid and engineering draftsmen positions.
Z-229
Materials Inspection and Testing: Training for inspector to serve in the ordnance department, quartermaster, and air corps. Subjects to be studied will be materials and their physical testing. The course will require about four months work. Students completing the course may take civil service examinations for engineering aid and engineering draftsmen positions.
(continued to page eight)
Proficiency Exam Deadline Near
Students wishing to take the next English proficiency examination must register at the College office today or tomorrow.
The examination will be given at 8:30 Saturday, Dec. 14. If possible, the examination should be taken early in the junior year so that the student, if necessary, will have plenty of time to correct his weak points.
Two more examinations will be given next semester.
Christmas Seal Sale Drive Passes $300
More than $300 had been turned in today from the sale of Christmas seals, announced Miss Mateel Rich, chairman of the University drive. Ten more reports were expected to be turned in yesterday or tomorrow.
Students in charge of the Hill drive are Lee Huddleston, business senior, and Hazel Scheer, college senior.
The Jay Janes have been selling seals in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall since Thursday, but the main campaign will start this week with a house-to-house drive. Student leaders will be appointed to take charge of the drive on organized and semi-organized houses.
Tuberculosis ranks among the first three causes of death in Kansas in the age groups from 15 to 25 years. In the past 20 years the death rate has been reduced from 200 per 100,000 to 22 per 100,000 by the persistent seeking for and elimination of sources of infection and by early diagnosis and treatment of infected persons. Improved methods of case finding, diagnosis and treatment make the complete control of this dreaded disease a strong possibility, and contributions to the Christmas seal sale aid in the fight.
Jayhawks Seek Sweep Over Texas
Jamboree In Kansas City Harbur Entered
If Santa Claus tries sliding down the chimney of Kansas City's Municipal auditorium four days early this year he'd better tuck his beard in tight for there will be a good chance to get it singed by hot music at the first annual Collegiate Jamboree to be held Saturday, Dec. 21.
Swing, sweet and hot, wil flow from three college bands Clayton Harbour will be swinging for the Jayhawks in competition with Matt Benton's Kansas State College gang and George Tide's Missouri Collegiates.
Harbour will mark time with his clarinet and saxophone while his vocalists, Jimmy Hammer and Jimmy Brown, and the "Jay Jives" quintet vie for the audience's applause with Benton's Novachord and full band glee club. Tide features no particular player or group but gives each member an equal opportunity to shine.
A queen, "Miss Jamboree," to rule over the festivities, will be selected from contestants representing various sororities and social clubs. Women aspiring for the honor may obtain entry blanks by writing to the chairman of the Collegiate Jamboree Queen Contest at the Municipal auditorium.
Weather
Partly cloudy tonight and somewhat colder. Not much change in temperature for tomorrow.
HILL ACTORS TAUT 'Cradle Song' On Tonight FOR FOUR-DAY RUN
Some dozen students are walking around the campus today with that tight feeling. in the pit of the stomach so familiar to every actor just before he steps out onto the stage for his opening lines.
"The Cradle Song" opens tonight in Fraser theater.
Tickets Go Slow
Ticket sales for opening night are slow, according to Don Dixon, the gentleman in charge of ducats; but for the offer three performances, sales are up to normal.
For some five weeks now the cast members, under the tutelage of Director James Barton, have been shredding the boards of the theater as they assume the character of a Spanish nun, or an elderly doctor, or a romantic Latin lover. With
the curtain bowing to the audience at 8:15 o'clock tonight, about half the cast will be stepping before their first Hill audience. Calderwood Back
ner Civie Repertory group brought the romantic comedy to Broadway. This will be Miss McFarland's first important role in a University play. Has 'Quality Street' Actor
Most familiar character to grace the stage will be Robert Calderwood, associate professor in the department of speech, whose name has appeared on most of the drama programs given around here in the last few years. He is the only nonstudent member of the cast, borrowed by the Dramatic club for this occasion to play the role of the doctor.
Important to the production is Jane McFarland, college sophomore, who plays the role of Sister Joanna of the Cross, a role made famous by Eva Le Gallienne when

Make Kansas College Tour
Three official representatives of the University left yesterday on a live-day tour of junior colleges in southern Kansas.
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences, accompanied by J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, and J. K. Hitt, assistant registrar, are visiting junior colleges in Chanute, Coffeyville, Independence, Parsons, and Arkansas City.
The purpose of the tour, according to Dean Lawson, is to gain a more thorough knowledge of the work of junior colleges and to inform those students concerning the University curriculum and activities.
"We shall take over the general problems and details having to do with the transferring of credits with the view of having a thorough understanding on the part of junior colleges and the University in such matters," Dean Lawson said.
Dean Lawson will address assemblies at each college, and Dean Jakosky will arrange to talk with those students who are now enrolled as engineering students, or who are interested in entering the School of Engineering.
All Wet STUDENTS GET OWN MEDICINE
Berkeley, Calif., Dec. 10—(UP) Four University of California students got a dose of their own medicine today when Baliff Charles Matlin emptied a bucket of cold water on their heads.
The dousing was ordered by Judge Oliver Young when the students were hailed into court for tossing bags filled with water on pedestrians during a rally preceding the Stanford-California football game.
The culprits, Minton B. Evans, Bill Donaldson, Leonard Woolam and Pieter De Vries, lined up out side of the cell while the baliff threw the icy water from a second story window.

Women Prove Aviation Not Just a Man's Game
Women in the University of Kansas are definitely making a place for rthemselves in aviation.
That is, if the apparent success of the now one-year-old local Women's Aeronautical Association club is any barometer.
Last week the club celebrated its first anniversary by giving a banquet in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Members went away firmly convinced that flying is no longer solely a man's game.
A year ago Helen Hay, who was graduated last spring, formed the club for women of the University who were interested in aviation. Miss Hay was elected president by the 14 charter members. Now 20 women belong to the group.
This year the club has functioned actively. Meeting bi-monthly the women discuss methods of furthering aviation in Kansas. Each member is attempting to get the Chamber of Commerce in her home town

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Cutting a few thin slices out of a big sport's pie:
JAY SIMON, one of the best of Kansan sports writers in recent years, writes from the Coffeyville Journal that his local Jucos, who walked off with the state championship this year were every bit as hot as reported. Jay says the southerners had two backs who would look pretty fair on any Big Six club. . What are their names Jay, and are they still eligible for college competition?
DID YOU know that three of last year's Jayhawk basketballers have signed with three different clubs in Kansas City's fast Naismith League? . . They include Don Ebling, forward, with Phillips 66; Dick Harp, guard with College of Commerce, and Jack Sands, forward and center with Faultless Launry. . . Other K.U. grads who are beginning another year in the loop are Al Welhausen, George Golay, and Ray Noble. . . The senior Ebling, Ray, who was an All-American forward here in 1936, called it quits this year after serving four seasons with the Phillips club of the A.A.U. league. . . And by the way the Oilers must have another powerhouse this year with Fred Pralle only a sub. . . Of course the Phillips guards, Grady Lewis, giant rebound man, and Bill Martin, formerly of Oklahoma, could keep a lot of good men on the bench. The Oilers are defending A.A.U. champions.
DISCOURAGED or disgruntled freshman athletes can get a lifter by taking a peek at the little-known uphill fight of Quido Massare, varsity football guard, who ended a splendid if not spectacular football career two weeks ago against Colorado Aggies. . . Massare, one of a large family in East Monongehela, Pa., had to spend three years of hard labor in the Monongehela steel mills upon graduation from high school before he could come to college at all. He arrived in the fall of '37 along with some 50-odd other boys, who comprised "the greatest freshman squad in ten years". . All Massare has done is to play three years regular on the varsity, carry at least 17 hours in the engineering school every semester, take an active part in K-club activities, work for virtually all of his expenses, and ask no favors of anyone. . . He has never given the coaching staff one minutes worry of any kind. He is a hard worker. He is serious about school and football. He is a steadfast friend. He is a gentleman. He is an example of what can be done. Freshmen, let's do it.
WHEN THE Jayhawks close their two-game series with Texas tonight they will not show again before the local crowd until Jan. 13 when they entertain Louie Menze's Iowa State Cyclones. After an engagement three nights later against Missouri's hated Tigers, they will not appear at home again until Feb. 10. . During Xmas vacation the Allenmen will travel East to meet Fordham Rams in Madison Square, Dec. 28; Temple in Philly, Dec. 30, and Loyola in Chicago, Jan. 2. . In-

Cooper's Long One Gives Sig Eps Win
By CLINT KANAGA
Bob Cooper, Sig Ep guard, swished a long shot in the last three seconds of play to lead his team to a 22-0 victory over Kappa Eta Kappa last night. In the other games played, Theta Tau defeated Acacia, 18 to 13; Dunakin 1 downed the Dodgers, 21 to 16; and Carruth hall won from Alpha Chi Sigma, 17-12.
Brunton. Kappa Eta Kappa for-¢
Brunton, Kappa Ela Kappa forward, gathered high point honors of the Sig Ep-K.E.K. game with 13 points. Cooper sank five goals and two charity tosses to pace the victors.
The Theta Tau-Acacia fray was marked by roughness, although intentional fouling was not evident. Outstanding player of the contest was Domingo, who was a high scorer for the Comets last year. Domingo, in addition to ringing up half of his team's tallies, handled the ball well and failed to commit a foul. Livengood was best for the Acacias.
Cunningham and Hecht led the Dunakin 1 five to its first win of the year in defeating the Dodgers. Despite the opposition furnished by Graham, Dodger forward, the Dunakins had the game under control from the start.
Carruth Hall opened it's season with a win, 17-12, over Alpha Chi Sigma, with Aubyn in the starring role on defense as well as offense. Bryan stood out for the A.C.S. outfit.
Oregan Whips O.U.; Cyclones Win
Oklahoma and Iowa State opened their basketball season last night along with Kansas. The Sooners, rated by "Phog" Allen to cop the Big Six crown, lost to a strong Oregon team, 42-29, at Norman. Iowa State defeated Minnesota at Minneapolis, 37-36.
The Sooners led 16 to 8 with 10 minutes to be played in the last half. Oregon opened up its offensive to score ten field goals and win going away. Coach Bruce Drake's "Tall Oaks" were stymied by Oregon's Hank Anderson who outjumped his giants consistently.
Guard Carol Schneider was the hero of the Iowa State victory. He tipped in the rebound on Forward Al Budolfson's missed free throw with less than two minutes to go. Nicholas and Schneider led the Cyclone attack with 10 and 7 points.
The high flying eagles, who will meet Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's day, were named by every one of the 65 eastern football writers and radio commentators who participated in the poll.
Boston College Is Eastern Champ For Discussion

The curly haired Arkansas Citian, got able help from senior quarterback Bobby Allen, who rang the bell for.13 points besides displaying his usual fine floor game. John Kline, another senior, turned in his best performance in many a moon with brilliant post-guarding and rebounding job.
Hawk-faced Thurman Hull, stellar Steer guard. opened the game with a quick setup, but the lead faded as Engleman and Allen bagged three field goals ad a pair of free throws for an 8 to 4 margin midway in the opening stanza. Texas Pulls Ahead
From then until the end of the first half, however, it was all Texas. Long legged Denten Cooley chipped in a free throw on Sollenbreger's infraction and Udell Moore added a pair to tie the count.
The baffling-passing Texans then closed with four goals by Hull, Granville, and Cooley to walk off with a 16-12 margin at half-time.
The Jayhawkers almost let things get out of control before going to work the second half. Hull dribbled in for a close righthander and Cooley canned a one-handed pivot shot for a 20-12 Longhorn lead immediately after intermission. Then the Kansans started.
Engleman, Allen Score
The hard-fighting Allen slipped in a short one, and Kline broke around the Steer defense for a neat layup a moment later. Engleman brought the Kansans even with a clever underhander and a setup.
The last five minutes were filled with roaring action. The tall Steers moved in close, trying to crash through the Jayhawker's defense to use their height advantage, but the best they could do was a lone bucket by Houpt, and three charity tosses, while Engleman and Allen broke loose for two more goals apiece and Norman Sanneman added one.

Joint Convention To Be Held Here
The alumni council was entertained by the University in 1936, before the joint meetings were in effect. Between 100 and 200 persons will be expected in 1942, representing seven states.
The University will play host to the joint district meeting of the American Alumni council and the American College Publication Association in January, 1942. This was announced by K. W. Davidson and Fred Ellsworth, following their return from Columbia, Mo., where this year's meeting took place.
Raymond W. Derr, who will be a graduate student at the University next year, was elected as director of the publication association.
The Notre Dame-U.S.C. football series is the closest of any major intersectional classic. The Ramblers have won 8; the Trojans 6. The 1936 game was a tie.

Women's Intramurals
By JEAN MILAM
Fifteen University women's basketball teams, including eight sorority teams, three organized house teams and four independent groups, will contend for the all - school championship.
The tournament begins tonight at ing Corbin hall and the Kappas meeting the A.D. Pi's, will, by all indications, be a battle to the finish between the Kappas and Pi Phis in the sorosity group, the IWWs and the ETCs in the independent league with Corbin hall all-powerful among the organized houses.
Last year the Pi Phis defeated the Kappas in a photo finish for the championship of the sororities, only to be defeated by Corbin hall. The Corbin hall team, led by Lenore Grizzell and Alta Bingham, then defeated the TNTs, independent winners, to claim the all-school basketball title.
The Kappas, unlike the Pi Phis, lost very few of their outstanding players through graduations; the TNTs strength was depleted by the graduation of Gerry Ulm, star forward; while Corbin hall has remained practically the same.
Two independent teams may appear as the proverbial dark horses this year. One, the ETCs, led by Miss Ruth Hoover, instructor in physical education, and composed of teachers and graduate students. The other team, the IWWs, has copped the all-school softball and volleyball championships for the past two years, and led by Evelyn Herriman, Wanda Horosco and Marjorie Rader should give their opponents a lot of trouble.
Our guess is that this year's playoffs will see the Kappas, Corbin hall and the IWWs in action.
All women who wish to attend the W.A.A. hockey and volleyball dinner Thursday evening should make their reservation immediately in the women's athletic office. The dinner, to be held at 6 o'clock in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building is not only open to W.A.A. members, but to all women interested in any form of athletics.
Union to Entertain With Yuletide Party
Nation Meyer, social chairman of the Union Activities commission, announced yesterday that plans are being made for a Christmas party open to all students from 3 o'clock until 5 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 17.
The program will include numbers by the Modern Choir, Men's Glee club, and Corbin hall English dancers. Cider and doughnuts will be served also, Meyer said.
Band For Hop Still Uncertain
No "name" band has been signed to play for the Sophomore Hop as Xet, according to Fred Littooy, dance manager.
Although January 11 has been scheduled as the night, this date is still uncertain. Littooy also announced that there will be no varsity on December 14, the date formerly held by the Hop.
Urges Caution In Extra Play
Dr. F. C. Allen, head basketball coach, today cautioned all University athletes who still have Big Six eligibility against competing in any non-University game, except as an alumnus against his own high school or junior college. Competition in any other game is outlawed by Big Six ruling. Violation forfeits the athlete's conference eligibility.
"Christmas vacation is when violation of this rule is most likely to occur," Dr. Allen explained. "There are always such a number of impromptu basketball games in which a boy is tempted to play that I believe a warning is necessary."
The conference rule also requires that conference athletes obtain permission to play baseball in the summer.
Engleman Speaks At Kappa Sigma Founder's Day Dinner
Howard Engleman, University basketball players was a speaker at the Kappa Sigma Founder's Day dinner, 8 p.m. Sunday at the Hotel Jayhawk in Topeka. Paul Christman, all-American football player from University of Missouri, and Jack Gardner, Kansas State basketball coach, were also guest speakers. Dwight T. Ream, Missouri Valley referee, will be toastmaster.
Members of Kappa Sigma, besides Engleman, who attended the dinner are Larry Finney, John Yarnell, Bill Murfin, Bob Ballard, Rex Shaw, Germain Morgan, and Carlos Vogeler.
Two University Students Obtain Teaching Jobs
Dick Ross, graduate students, has accepted a position as science instructor in the Hiawatha High School; and Harold Frost, who has been teaching at Morrill, has been elected principal at Fairview. Frost expects to complete his master's degree in education this summer.
Check Up On Hill Love Life
The next issue of the Sour Owl, which will be out December 19, promises to give readers a chance to check up on the Hill's most prominent love affairs.
Reggie Buxton, editor, guarantees that the "love graph" featured in that issue will settle all doubts on the standings of certain couples. The Owl will also contain the usual variety of articles, jokes and cartoons.
Fifteen men in the medical detachment at Coffeyville were recently transferred and the opportunity for advancement has increased.
The medical detachment of the Kansas National Guards needs about 14 recruits, Seargent E. V. Mosley said today.
Medical Detachment Needs 14 Recruits
Anyone interested should see Majar Oscar S. Anderson or any medical detachment men at the armory.
Show Films After Next Mid-Week
Something new in the Memorial Union ballroom.
At 8:15 o'clock, tomorrow instead of the usual mad rush to try and get a booth in some Hill jelly-joint, Mid-week goers will lbe shown a 16 mm sound picture on how Fred Waring and his band prepare for a radio program.
Also on the program will be two reels of safety films presented by the Kansas State Highway Patrol with L. L. Richardson, patrolman, running the projector. Major Will Zurubucken, assistant superintendent of the State Highway Patrol will speak on safety council work, a field in which he has done much work.
A March of Time film titled "Tobacco Land—U.S.A." also will be shown. The entire program will last an hour.
AS WE SEE IT---

terspersed will be the opening conference game against Oklahoma in Norman, Jan. 8.
LAST WINTER when we saw Ray Evans, fine freshman football and basketball prospect, perform on the court for Wyandotte's powerful Bulldogs, runners-up for the 1940 state high school basketball championship, we tabbed him as the second-best h.s. cageman in the state. . Second to the much publicized Gerald Tucker of Winfield, who lately threw the state schools' alumni into consternation by deserting our Aggie friends up the Kaw for Oklahoma. . When Tucker went to the Aggies in early September and Evans enrolled here, many K.U. followers still thought the University had fared only second-best in the deal. . But the score hasn't quite added up that way. . Evans has already turned in a fine football season. He has beenm tabbed by Dr. Allen as one of the best basketball prospects in years. . Add to this a modest approaching that of a Glen Cunningham, a cooperative temperment, and a reasonable amount of earnest scholastic effort, and the only conclusion that can be reached is that K.U. hit the jack-pot in this instance, not the dime row.

EDITORIALS★
Out of the mass of curves and charts constructed by Doctor Wheeler has come a valuable book. Consider that, to substantiate his theories about climate and history, Doctor Wheeler has necessarily included a history of the world. Since the book begins with 600 B.C., it contains a mass of historical information. The book will be invaluable even for its general history.
About the whole cycle theory, there's little we can say. Probably no one can rightfully criticize the theories since no one else has spent as many years of study on the subject as Doctor Wheeler.
BOOKS★
The eight years' work was meticulous. It was meritorious.
Meticulous and Meritorious
Promoting Religion
Doctor R. H. Wheeler's new book, an explanation of his theory of the matched cycles of climate and history, is complete. The three-volume book represents eight years of meticulous research by Psychologist Wheeler and his assistants. Doctor Wheeler's office in Frank Strong hall is filled with book after book of charts and graphs.
Wheeler's theory is that world climate has changed in regular cycles, varying from warm periods to cold periods. By comparing these periods from 600 B.C. with history from that time, the psychologist found that cold periods coincided with world democratic gains, and warm periods came along with autocratic times. Wheeler says we have been in a warm period since 1897 and that we are due to return to the cold era soon. This change would mean a gain for freedom and democracy.
Rev. Robert B. Alexander, pastor of the Methodist church in McLouth, is a pioneer. He is a pioneer in making religion appealing and inviting to those persons who are not regular church-goers. Many persons are seldom attracted to religious services, but do go on such occasions as Christmas and Easter.
Periodic or holiday-service church-goers are generally criticized as irreligious by more regular members. Perhaps they are. It is admittedly a good thing to support the church the year around through interesting and uninteresting services, but a point is being overlooked.
Persons who attend church when special services are being held have demonstrated that they do have an interest in the church, at least in certain services of the church.
Why shouldn't the church, which is seeking to convince an individual that its way is right, assume the burden of proving its case? The members who have a vital interest in the church should make the church attractive to the non-member, not condemn him for his laxity.
Rev. Alexander has shown that showmanship and sanctity aer not irreconcilable. His 17 hour and 15 minute service Sunday, during which the entire New Testament was read, was
Periodic church-goers cannot be made into regular church-goers by condemnation or rebuke. The theory that a man should be expected, not encouraged or begged, to do right is fine for rationalization, but it will not get many people under the church roof on Sunday morning.
LETTERS★
The service was colorful, novel, even somewhat spectacular, but it was deeply religious. Persons many miles from McLouth, and persons who did not regularly attend any church, were attracted to the service. Many of them, perhaps, went away with a resolution to attend church more often.
No one can be converted who does not come to the service. An interesting, vital religion which "sells" itself to individuals is merely catching up with the times. A good promotion man would make a fine counsel for the present day minister.

Only Eight More Days of School Decorations Set Yule Spirit
Only eight more school days remain before Christmas, and the houses about the campus are beginning to show signs of the Yuletide spirit. Electric wreaths are being exhumed and the wiring of the vari-colored lights is being tested for the Christmas season on the Hill. $ \textcircled{4} $
Miller hall and Watkins hall led the colorful spectacle by lighting up their doorways. Watkins hall has produced a stained glass effect by coloring the glass and placing lights behind it. Miller hall has arranged a garland of lights around the door to outline it.
Chi Omega Lights Fir Tree
The Watkins home for nurses has decorated the two evergreen trees before the house. Chi Omega has decorated the large fir tree in its yard with many tiny lights.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the first fraternity house to be decorated. A
Big Week-ends Ahead
Before the end of the week all of the organized houses and most of the unorganized houses will be ablaze with the brilliant colors of Christmas. The week-ends will intensify the effect by the parties in the various houses.
The downtown shopping district has been draped with the tradition red and green for a week, and now the store windows have been decorated in keeping with the holiday season.
Off the Press December 17---- Christmas Jayhawker Will Feature Women
December 17 will be women's day on this campus so far as publicity is concerned. On that date the Christmas issue of the Jayhawker, featuring women of the University and their activities, will come off the press, Betty Coulson, Jayhawker editor, announced today.
Heading the list of features is a "Diagnosis of Women" by Kenneth Lewis, and an article, "We Want to be Play Girls" by Anthony. Also included.
Heading the list of features Kenneth Lewis, and an article, Jane Anthony. Also included is a summary of women's extracurricular activities by Heidi Viets, and summaries of women's politics and intramurals. Pictures of women's organizations and sorority pictures will give readers the opportunity to see as well as read about University women.
Other outstanding articles in this
issue are the guest editorial, "Friends and Frogs," contributed by Helen Rhoda Hoopes, and a forecast of the varsity basketball season with word-for-word predictions by Dr. F. C. Allen.
The usual four page candid picture section and the student and faculty personality sections also are present.

After dinner at the Phi Gam house last night. Alf M. Landon went to Hoch auditorium to root for the Jayhawkers. He is an alumnus of this chapter.
Seen dripping with coke at the Union fountain Saturday afternoon was Phi Psi Baldy Bolim. Which of the three pledges sitting with him could have been daring enough to sling coke at the chapter president.
Exactly one hour before he put out his pin Friday night, Delta Chi Charles Wright received a telegram from his former girl friend in Oklahoma City who recently caused him trouble by showing up for a week-end visit. The telegram read, "So glad your lease on the dog house is up. Congratulations and lots of luck."
How did she know about the engagement? Wright guesses feminine intuition, but it sounds spooky.
Wright is head of the Student State-wide Activities Commission. When county chairmen meet under his gavel at 4:30 this afternoon, they expect cigars to be passed out to all.

A feature attraction of the Phi Bete "Bowery perty" Saturday night was Wyman Howard Cooper, Jr., son of the houseman. Wearing a plug hat and midget black suit, he peddled cigarettes to the guests—on the house if they insisted, two for a nickel when he could get it.
At this shindig everybody looked like the dickens because they were supposed to. It would have been a Dead End kid's delight. When couples dropped in at intermission from the Theta and A.D.Pi parties, classy in formals and tuxes in the midst of short skirts, spangles, and derbies, they probably thought they were slumming.
Jane Parmenter and Bud Heiberg seem to hear love's sweet song every Sunday morning. It's convenient that Heiberg's sister Elsie sings in the choir.

Simpson Makes Sunday Pleasant With Recital
By ED GARICH
Guy Criss Simpson, professor of organ in the School of Fine Arts, gave a program which was beautifully short and easy to listen to at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium, and only about one hundred people know about it. The small audience heard a program which was interesting, ranging from Mozart to a modern French composer by the name of Vierne, and a volume which caused the lights along the walls of the room to flicker tremblingly.
The first number, "Fantasy in F minor" (Mozart), was a trifle diffe-
Palmer Enroute Here To Face Perjury Charge
Robert Palmer, former University student, against whom extradition papers have been obtained by County Attorney Milton Beach from Governor Payne Ratner, is expected to be returned late tonight to Douglas county from Oklahoma City to face charges of perjury in district court.
The county attorney and an undersheriff are scheduled to leave Oklahoma City at 3 o'clock this afternoon with Palmer on the return trip to Lawrence.
Palmer is charged with perjury in connection with an earlier trial in the May term of court here. The charges allege that Palmer perjured himself by stating he has not sold intoxicating liquors within the last year.
The defendants also is charged with the possession of intoxicating liquor. This charge is a misdemeanor, but the perjury charge is a felony. It is the felony charge upon which the county attorney based the state's request for extradition from Oklahoma.
Meanwhile attorneys for John Claflin, '40, succeeded in obtaining a continuance for his habeas corpus hearing until Dec. 16. Claflin's attorneys maintained that Claflin is being wrongfully held because all of the state's evidence was presented in the first trial which ended June 26, and that he cannot be tried again.
Claflin was acquitted in district court here last June on the first of four charges of first degree arson in connection with the series of fires at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house.
Another former University student, Alexander Harlow Dewey, was indicted by a federal grand jury, Saturday, on a charge of draft registration evasion. He was arrested in Lawrence Nov. 15, after he told reporters that his opinions would not let him participate in any phase of warfare.
Dancy's indictment was handed down in Kansas City, Kan.
Whitla Returns With Sand Samples Ray Whitla, geologist with Kansas Geological Survey, returned Thursday from Wyandotte county where he has been collecting sand samples on which the Survey will make moulding-sand tests.
ferent from the old master's usual style. We usually don't go for Mozart because he is too far above our head, being a theorist and technician; but this number showed a little more emotion than most of his stuff. The number wakened all the delinquent Fine Arts majors in the back rows, for whom it was a make-up recital, by thunderning out a tremendous chord at the very start, and periodically thereafter it rose to light-flickering volume. Flashes of Mozart-as-we-know-him came through once in a while to assure us there was no error in the program.
The middle number on the recital was in direct contrast to the
first. The light and airy strains of "Preludio from the Ninth Violin Sonata" (Corelli-Guilmant) floated across the auditorium, and it reminded us of somebody's little white-haired grandmother.
Saving the final, and in this case the best, number until last Ms. Simpson played the "Third Symphony" (Vierne). The lengthy number is in five movements, and, for modern music, isn't bad. We have a mental set against modern music as it is generally known. Most of it is a total stranger to the old-fashioned musical idea of harmony, but this one had the very minimum of discord for modern music, about one to the measure.

A new method inaugurated the first of December for the procurement of flying cadets by the U.S. Navy was announced yesterday by Lieutenant Commander W. B. Ault, Commanding Officer of the U.S. Naval Reserve Aviation Base located
A young man who now desires flight training and a commission as ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve and flying duty with the Fleet applies to his nearest Naval recruiting station where the officer in charge passes upon his educational qualifications, and gives him a preliminary physical examination.
If successful in passing these two tests, the applicant is then sent at
government expense to the nearest Naval Reserve Aviation Base, of which there are sixteen in the United States. A selection board there judges his fitness for flight training and his desirability as an officer, and gives him a complete flight physical examination. Upon being selected for flight training, the young man is placed on duty as a flight student at an aviation base.

Regents Ask New Building For Campus
The five-year building program for state schools of Kansas, which will be recommended to the state legislature when it meets January 14 by the Board of Regents, will include a building for the University.
Fred Harris of Ottawa, chairman of the Board of Regents, said that the regents would recommend construction of a Mineral Industries building at the University, a library at Emporia Teachers college, and three practice teaching houses for the Kansas State College home economics department.
K. U. To Get Five-sixteents
The proposed program would es establish a revolving fund which, wher large enough to start the buildine program, would be allocated to the various state schools. The University and Kansas State would each receive five-sixteenths of the fund and Emporia, Pittsburg, and Fort Hays would receive one-eighth each.
A recommendation for the legislature to levy a permanent tax for the support of state educational institutions also was in the biennial report adopted by the Board of Regents. The tax would be a cumulative mill tax until changed by the legislature.
Call On Governor
Meanwhile members of the Kansas Mineral Industries Council called on Gov. Payne Ratner to urge his support for a legislative appropriation.

Hill Seal Drive Brings Results
Faculty members and employees of the University have contributed to date more than $325 to the thirty-fourth Christmas Seal drive of the National Tuberculosis Association, it was announced this morning by Miss Mateel Rich, chairman of the University drive.
This sum is a 15 percent increase over the amount solicited in 1939.
The Student Health Service employees contributed 100 percent to the drive with a $25 bond which they purchased as a body.
Faculty members may still make their contributions at anytime in the office of the School of Education or at the Lawrence Gas company.
On the student side of the drive, the men's Pan-Hellenic council has voted $80 to the cause, the sum being collected by a $5 assessment of each social fraternity on the Hill. Nu Sigma Nu, professional medical fraternity, has donated $5.
House-to-house canvass is being conducted by several members of the Owl Society, and of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity. Representatives of some of the larger rooming houses have been given seals to sell. Students participating in the drive include Wendell Tompkins, George Kettner, Fred Robertson, Verlyn Norris, Keith Spaulding, Keith Martin, Bob Fluker, Eugene Ninger, Edwin Price, Maurice Baringer, and William Hogle.

He says that all Puerto Ricans feel they are 100 per cent American and they will defend with pride anything that is American.

Three Stars to 'Cradle Song' Drama Scores A Hit
By ED GARICH
The opening of "Cradle Song" last night in Fraser theater gave promise of developing into one of the neatest little tricks the Dramatic Club has turned out in some time.
Although the play is a little too saccharine to be true, the players, after a slightly shaky start, went through their paces with a certain amount of conviction and certainty which we didn't expect.
The first act went rather slowly, and was far less interesting and well acted than the second. Outstanding in the first act were, naturally, Robert Calderwood, the only faculty representative in the production, and the role of Sister Joanna, played by Jane McFarland. These two, aided by Jean Brown, who played the part of thoroughly repulsive and straight lad in, gave the first act all the interest ad.
left at the convent, gave a performance which was highlighted by its exuberance against the stiff formality of the convent. The role was well done, as were the performances of Shirley Jane Ruble in the role of the prioress, the Misses Brown and McFarland again, Mr. Calderwood, and Joe Nelson in the role of Antonio, the romantic interest for Miss Durand. This boy Nelson has a voice, and if he develops into the actor that such a voice belongs to, he'll be red hot. His performance last night was adequate, if not startling.
Between the acts the poet's monologue, taken by Wallace Kunkel, was an interesting and expertly done piece of work. The boy vies for top honors with the other standouts. The monologue serves to connect the two acts and to explain the story.
Top dramatic moments were when Jean Brown, the old toughie, finally goes soft when she says goodbye to Teresa, and the goodbye scene between Teresa and Sister Joanna.
Greta Gibson, in the role of the slightly rebellious Sister Marcella, gave some interesting comedy highlights.
The second act made the play. It contained the most action and the most convincing character portrayals. In this scene, Reola Durand, in the role of Teresa, the door-step baby whom a street-walker

Week-end Celebrations---
I.S.A. Districts Will Sponsor Two Parties
"Aye, me buckes, rally round! We're 'avin a celebration Friday night."
Such might well be the cry of I.S.A. members of districts No. 2 and No. 4 today. The celebration is a two-district party at Miller hall from 9 o'clock to 12 Friday night, and the screwy lingo of the call is supposed to be the tongue of a pirate. You see it's going to be a Pirate ball, with each person attending in a costume.
The burly pirate who issued the rally command perhaps had stag ambitions, for this is going to be a
"girl capture boy" affair. With 1940 and the last college leap year for most of us soon to pass, the I.S.A. central council couldn't pass up this last chance for a leap-year dance. According to the books it will be strictly ladies' choice as far as dates are concerned, but men stags will be admitted to the party.
Ten cents per couple if both are I.S.A. members and 15 cents if one of the couple is not a member, plus ragged trousers, sleeveless shirts, bandaged heads, patched eyes and long whiskers are the requisites for

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
KANSAS—If we had any doubts about the Jayhawkers being formidable contenders for another conference crown, they were allayed by the Kansan's two-night showing against a strong University of Texas club.
In Howard Engleman, the blonde N.C.A.A. all-tournament forward, and Bob Allen, senior quarterback, the locals have a pair of veterans who show definite signs of having their best year, particularly in the scoring column. Senior John Kline and sophomore Marvin Sollenberger have looked better than average defensively as guards.
The only current sore spot appears to be at the one remaining forward. However, from seniors Bill Hogben and Norman Sanneman; Vance Hall, a hard driving soph, and John Buescher, new man; Coach Forrest C. Allen is virtually sure to pull several good performances out of the bag. Junior Bob Johnson is a capable letterman who may see action at all three positions during the season.
OKLAHOMA—As Kansas' toughest contender, we are forced to name Bruce Drake's dangerous Sooners.
Gone from Soonerland are the last of the famed "Boy Seats",
Marvin Mesch and Jimmy McNatt,
but in their place are other dangerous, though less publicized performers;
for example forwards Garnett Corbin and Dale Carille,
and towing Hugh Ford. Corbin, ineligible last season, will return to his position in the starting lineup. Ford will be remembered as the 6" 6" center who gave the Kansans two bad evenings last year.
Slated for duty in the back line are a pair of big sophomores, six-foot Allen Paine and six-foot four-inch Paul Heap. Both are rated highly.
The Sooners dropped their initial start in Norman Monday night to powerful Oregon, 42-29.
IOWA STATE—Louie Menze's Cyclones rate our last first division berth. Returning for their final year will be co-captains Al Budolfson, a high-scoring forward and lumberman Gordon Nicholas, the close-in specialist, at center.
Lending them able support will be 6' 6" Carol Schneider, a junior who has improved amazingly since last winter, and Dale De Koster, a steady playing letterman, at guards. The other forward berth will go to Gordon or Uknes.
Missing from this year's Cycle quintet will be wild-shooting "Red" Harris, an all Big Six choice at forward two years ago, who was recently dropped from the squad for failure to report for practice regularly.
NEBRASKA—For all their height the Cornhuskers can be rated no better than fourth in this book. Returning after a year of injuries will be senior Don Fitz, a 6' 4" pivot man of ability. Fitz will probably replace 6' 7" Al Randall, who has not measured up to expectations during the last two years.
Sid Held, a big muscular sentinel
who was named on many All-Star
selections last year, is the only other
must-worthy (95%)

Women's Intramurals

With very little effort, the Kappas copped their first basketball victory when they defeated the A. D. Pis last night, 35-6. Lura Jane Smith was high scorer for the Kappas followed by Ellen Irwin and Katherine Hines.
At the same time, the Corbin hall team defeated the Thetas, 22-10. With the excellen guarding of Peggy Davis, the Thetas held their opponents to a small lead until the latter part of the game. Lenore Grizzell, Mildred Wells and Alta Bingham were mainly responsible for Corbin hall's win.
Jayhawks Whip Steers 48-45 For Second Win
By DON H. PIERCE Kansan Sport Editor
A battling band of Kansas Jayhawkers refused to accept defeat last night and came from behind three times to make a clean sweep of their two game series with Texas' Longhorns, grabbing a spine-chilling 48-45 victory in the finale in Hoch auditorium.
Again pacing the fast-rolling Kansans to victory were a pair of veteran shotmakers, forward Howard Engleman and "quarterback" Bobby Allen. Not content with a torrid total of 30 points in the Jayhawkers' opening victory, the senior duo came back in last night's fray for 35 counters between them.
The contest was closely fought from the opening tip-off, the count being tied ten times and the lead changing hands no less than six.
Also cast in the Red and Blue role were Bob Johnson whose neat recovery gave the homelings a two-point lead with only four minutes to go and sophomore Vance Hall, whose splendid drive-in when all seemed lost tied the count at 43-all. Allen gave the Jayhawkers their final lead a moment later by sinking a short one-hander and the last of two free throws while Engleman slipped in a brilliant underhand set-up for the clincher wint a minute to go.
Hall. Johnson Come Through
It remained for Steer captain Chester Granville to walk off with the evening's scoring honors as he counted 21 points.
Steers Off To Lead
The courageous Texans hopped off to an immediate lead on Moore's free throw and Colley's right hander from close in, but Allen, Kline, and Engleman hit four goals in quick succession to give the Kansans their first lead.
Then the ding-dong battle commenced in earnest, Houp, Hull, and Cooley tied the score at 8-all, Allen put the Jayhawkers back in the lead with a long two-hander; then it was the Longhorns again to go ahead finally 15-12.
Kansas closed with a late first half bombardment to lead at the inter- (continued to page five)

With Bill Geiger feeding him, Litteroy fired in one and two-handed shots from every direction to set the season high in individual scoring for one game. Matassarin was the standout man for Battenfeld.
Bill Hyer and Maurice Jackson led the Sigma Chis in victory. Hyer topped the Chis scoring list while Jackson played fine all-around ball Stapleton, D.T.D. forward, leading point-getter in the Delta Taus first game, grabbed the honors again last night with five goals and one free throw.
The Phi Delts displayed an airtight defense to hold the D.U.'s in check from the field and won easily. Byron Kern paced the Phi Delt outfit with five baskets and turned in a fine floor game. Russell looked best for the D.U. team.
"Buckshot" Thomas and Jim Brown had their eyes on the hoop for the Phi Psi "B", gathering 13 and 14 points respectively. Wendstand tallied 12 points to lead the losers.

KANSAS STATE—As usual the "Ags" are the conference dark horse, but this alone cannot push them higher in our pre-season standings. Main purple threat is bell-hawking Jack Horacek, junior
forward, who led the Aggies' conference scoring with 6.8 points per game average last winter. Paired with Horacek will be Chris Langvardt, probably the state's finest all-around athlete or Larry Beaumont, an El Dorado Junior college product.
Smooth-working Norris Holstrom, senior letterman and George Mendenhall, an up and coming sophomore, will be at the guards. Tom Guy, a junior, has the current call at center.
MISSOURI—Picking a currently healthy Tiger last in any Big Six athletic conclave is like lighting a virtually de-wicked cherry bomb, but the evidence is written on the backboard and we have our glasses on.
Gone from last year's co-Champs are lean Haskell Tison and Blaine Currence, a couple of classy string-bean centers. Gone are saucy Bill Harvey and jumping-jack Clay Cooper, front line shot makers. Gone is All-Big Six John Lobsiger, George Edward's fine guard. Only surviving member is Martin Nash, Lobsiger's capable running mate.
Gregg and Bangert, a pair of forwards far below the Harvey-Cooper standard, are at present getting the first string call. Arch Watson, a capable sub last season, will be at center with Mills paring with Nash at guards. The proud Missourians lack shot-makers and height.

Sign Painter Speaks
In a speech to munitions workers yesterday, Adolph Hitler, the sign painter who rose to the heights, or depths, of fame, proclaimed that "whatever happens, Germany will be victorious."
Already in America, the votes of industrial workers who didn't want another "capitalist" in the White House have shattered precedent and custom to install a man as President of the United States for the third consecutive time.
Almost 8,000,000 workers in the United States are under the banner of organized unions. Most of these workers control two, sometimes three votes in their families, about 16,000,000 votes in all.A recent estimate indicates that labor unions by 1944 may control half of the popular vote in the United States.
Already in England, the name of Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labor in the Churchill cabinet, has attained a prominence which few men in that country have known. This dynamic herald of the order is rapidly gaining the name of "our next prime minister."
Maybe Herr Hitler is a mite too sure of himself, but he has a point in the statement that is well worth considering. Although Germany and Hitler may never rule the world, the world will feel the force and underlying principle of Naziism—work and workers.
In General or in Particular?
Already in England the new force of labor is being felt. It is only because of an impassioned speech by a Welsh worker with two sons in the fight that 1,500,000 workers in England did not strike last week to raise wages by four pence.
Maybe Mr. Hitlel spoke a mouthful.
The reported merger of Washburn College law school with the University of Kansas has aroused speculation from many persons as to how such a plan would operate.
BOOKS★
In 1939 there were 26,177 students enrolled in 43 colleges and universities in Kansas. Persons advocating consolidation of the educational institutions say that the present system has needless duplications and inefficiency.
The benefits of concentration and specialization of schools and departments would be questionable. Standards of achievement in courses of the individual schools might be raised because more intensive work would be possible. Competition for students between state schools would be lessened. A coordinated system would, possibly bring to Kansas one of
There are 15 departments of Spanish and an equal number of chemistry departments in the state. Any second class town in Kansas may have a junior college. Many of the two year colleges are in reality the last two years in a six year high school-high school instructors teach in the college.
To obviate duplications, some persons suggest the incorporation of all state schools under one administrative head. Each school would specialize in one field of education. Students who wished to major in education could attend Emporia where all education courses would be taught. Pittsburg would become a trade school with emphasis on manual arts.
If the law school were moved to Topeka, it would have the advantage of higher courts to observe, as well as the addition of the Washburn faculty.
LETTERS★
However, efficiency is not everything. The University has in operation a group system whereby every student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is required to take some course in all major fields before graduation. This effort to give the individual a well-rounded education would have to be modified, at least, under the proposed plan of specialization.
Consolidation of the school system raises the question, which is more desirable-a specialized, or a general education?

You Said It

Editor, Daily Kansan:
Mr. Ed Garich's destructive criticism (apparently he knows no other kind) is to be deplored. It seems to be the work of a person who went to the concert (Symphony Orchestra) with the purpose in mind of finding all that he could that was wrong. What does Mr. Garich know about music to intimate that at all times the orchestra was not together? I will admit that they were not at times, but despite Mr. Garich's finding it hard to reconcile himself, not "ourselves," after listening to professionals via air waves, these professionals too get away from each other. My opinion is, that Mr. Garich thinks that these orchestras cannot do this because they are professionals, but he is grossly mistaken, they do.
As for being "a strictly amateur organization," I recommend that Mr. Garich look up Deems Taylor's remarks about these organizations and perhaps he will be enlightened.
What do the people Mr. Garich asked, know about acoustics, that he and they were able to judge the music. Further, what does he, and they know about music. I refer Mr. Garich to Deems Taylor's remarks about amateur critics.
"To plunge into details," the first number was good, but the orchestra had done it three times before. Kreisler plays a concerto well, but he has played it a thousand times before, therefore, Kreisler is not to be commended. Mr. Garich displays his ignorance about music in saying that "Euryanthe" is not "among the most difficult numbers for orchestra." Has he ever asked anyone who has played, or really knew, has he played it himself, or does the flawless playing of the Philharmonic make it seem easy to Mr. Garich? One who does not know music will be easily fooled. Does Mr. Garich know "Till" well enough to criticize it? It is not often played, even on the radio. Mr. Garich's remarks about "Music Box" is very unfunny.
Mr. Garich's statements about the student conductor's is the only intelligent paragraph in his article. A concert arrangement of the "Blue Danube" is a difficult number, and is not to be confused with a dinner-music arrangement. Mr. Garich seems to know the tempo of Mr. Skilton's work better than Mr. Skilton himself who approved Director Kuersteiner's tempo.
As for the "Bolero." I will pass that off by saying, Mr. Garich is mistaken. As for the "Rhapsody," Mr. Garich admits that he is not "cultured enough to see modern dances as art," and then says, "that is beside the point." His lack of culture apparently keeps him from realizing that the program as a whole was one of art, whether of music or dance.
Take a hint, Mr. Garich, read up on some music if you would like to be a music critic, and then attend a concert and just listen instead of taking notes each time you hear an error. Perhaps then, you may enjoy music by amateurs.-Morton Green.
ROCK CHALK TALK
By HEIDI VIETS
Scott Hookins had a glenn in his eye after a rock identification quiz in geology yesterday afternoon.
"I can't even tell limestone from sandstone without tasteing it," he said. "I ate half the man's rocks."
It has leaked out that the dress collar which Delta Chi dog Pepper wore to the A. D. Pi party last Saturday night belonged to Hank Snyder.
Pepper was slicked up as though for a national dog show. Saturday morning he had been bathed and rubbed with two kinds of cologne. That night he joined the stag line, tied to the bottom bannister post.
Sore of foot is Mike Gubar. Sunday night his car was parked in front of the A.T.O. house when another car, whose driver was dozing, smashed into it.
Now he has to walk to do his reporting for a city paper, and other monkey business. He declares the bill he presents the insurance company will include the cost of one pair of shoes and a course of treatments for flat feet.
When Patty Lockwood left the Phi Delt party Saturday night with a sprig of mistletoe, Rock Chalk suggested that it was not a souvenir only. But Patty's date, Steve Phelps, sadly says it was.
Brick's-dwellers Jim Dodderidge has a shark's tooth, or reasonable facsimile thereof, which he maintains is one of his own baby teeth. If he shows it to you, call him a "bridge shark" and he'll be happy.
Last night the Sigma Chi deluxe harmonizers had to stop short after the first measure of "Shanty in Old Shantytown."
*the first measure of Shanny in the Shanny town*
*"Tenee's not quite ready," they mumbled*
Tepee's not quite ready, they humbled. But when Tepee Nelson "et al" got under way, the number was classy as the night before Christmas.

"ESCAPE TO GLORY"
Impending war in Europe sends Americans scurrying homeward. Aboard the S.S. Glen Inniston are Charles Atterbee, American manufacturer; John Morgan, an American District Attorney; Christine Blaine, mink-coated young woman posing as his secretary; Professor Mudge, kindly old mathematics teacher; his wife, and Mrs. Winslow, a go-getting club-woman. Larry Perkins, gangster, watches $17,000,000 in gold placed aboard the ship before he himself comes aboard. Others among the passengers are Dr. Behrens, a German scientist, and Mike Farrough, soldier of fortune, being deported as an undesirable. The ship sails.

Baffled Bugs Bagged By Beamer
Here's one that can't be beat, according to Dr. R. H. Beamer, professor of entymology.
While on a research trip last summer he found several new species of insects in the short space of 30 minutes.
Doctor Beamer and his party stopped along side of the road in rather drab-locking country near Fallon, Nevada, and in half an hour they found 17 species of the bigeyed fly family, known to science as the Dorilaidea. Of these 17 species there were seven species entirely new to science. In all they found 140 specimens.

May Re-Classify College Students
Kansas University students of draft age may be classified again, by occupation this time, under an agreement reported to have been reached in Washington by national education authorities and selective service officials last month.
According to unofficial sources, the agreement calls for a definite classification of all college students who are registered under the 1940 selective service act, in order that actual deferment of students called to active duty may be simplified.
The agreement is a result of the the great number of problems confronting local draft boards and parents of students in college.
Under the semi-officially an announced agreement, students will probably be deferred by reason of occupation in college, rather than having nearly completed their college education.
Youth groups throughout the United States are, however, supporting an amendment which calls for the blanket deferment plan thus far in operation.
Briefly, the agreement in full calls for national selective service officials to "urge" local boards, through state governors, to make permanent classifications for college students immediately on the basis of their field of education. Because few students have been classified, the new interpretation will affect nearly all students of draft age.
Preference under the new arrangement will presumably be given to students in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, chemistry, engineering, biology, geology, and related research fields, as local draft boards interpret the "necessary man" clause of the selective service act.
Officials were not reticent in declaring that students in liberal arts schools would be the hardest 1 by the new interpretation. Draft administrators and educators agree that there is no reason for deferring liberal arts students, although it is realized that enrollments will be hit severely by next year.

Lord Lothian Is Dead
Infection Fatal To Ambassador Of Great Britain
New York, Dec. 12.—(UP) Lord Lothian, British ambassador to the United States, died early today in the embassy in Washington.
The marquess who had helped negotiate American "short-of-war" aid for his homeland, was 58 years old.
Death came at 2 a.m. and was attributed to a uremic infection.
The address, in which he predicted a British victory over Germany in 1942, was read by Neville Butler, embassy counsellor and his ranking aide.
He had been indisposed for almost a week and was taken seriously ill Sunday night. News of his illness was suppressed, although yesterday, at the time of his scheduled address before the American Farm Bureau Federation convention in Baltimore, he was reported "slightly ill."
He was an indefatigable worker for the British cause and took a leading role in British purchases of American planes and munitions, often paving the way for the official British missions which attended to the details of the buying.
A Christian Scientist, Lothian declined medical attention during his final illness. He continued to work long hours in the room at the embassy where he had confined himself, and directed as far as practical, the work of his colleagues.
Canuteson Sets Restrictions On Visitors to Hospital
Due to an increase in the number of cases of colds, Watkins Memorial hospital announced today that only members of the family and housemothers will be allowed to visit cold patients.
Grade Rulings Unfair--Gardner
Manhattan, Dec. 12, —(Special)—Jack Gardner, head Kansas State college basketball coach, today branded as "unfair" the practice of requiring college boys to maintain high scholastic averages to compete in athletics.
The young K-State mentor looks at it this way. Athletics are a definite part of an educational program. Chemistry (or any other major subject) and athletics are of equal value to the boy and should be so treated. Works Both Ways
"The boy who flunks chemistry shouldn't be barred from athletic competition any more than the boy who fails in athletics should be barred from taking chemistry," Gardner declared.
"Now don't misunderstand me," he warned. "At Kansas State we consider athletics an essential part of the educational program. This is contrasted with some other schools which apparently feel otherwise and limit participation in athletics to a select few. Isn't it logical to believe that athletics are just as beneficial to the average or poor student as to the Phi Beta Kappa?"
Still Expect High Average
"We want the boys to maintain high scholastic averages, but we also want them to do just as well in athletics as they do in chemistry."
Gardner pointed to the fact that an athlete is penalized by scholastic requirements which do not apply to other students. These requirements are insisted upon in spite of the fact the athlete has an additional burden because of the time he must spend while out for a college sport.
The K-State coach also pointed to the current movement favoring more athletics and physical education for young men as an aid in the national defense program. "Certainly health is more important than any book work," he concluded.
Forecast Cold Wave On Campus
The weather forecast as far as the Hill is concerned is snow suits and lumberjack shirts. Snow began falling'on the campus at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
That is the first sign of the predicted cold wave which is expected to push the mercury near to zero tomorrow. The cold weather is expected to move in by tomorrow morning, and occasional snow is expected.
This Thursday night session was voted at the last meeting of the M.S.C. before the Thanksgiving vacation. It was designed to provide one meeting for the group that would be well staggered in the three weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
The W.S.G.A. will meet at 6 o'clock tonight.
Routine business will occupy the time of the Men's Student Council when it meets at 8 o'clock tonight in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building.

British successes against Italy in Egypt's western desert mounted today, and Rome admitted fiercest fighting "west of Sidi Barrani" where heavy Fascist reinforcements were being rushed up from Libya.
British armored forces, aided by powerful units of the Media terranean fleet and the Royal Air Force, pounded at the wedge which Marshal Rudolfo Graziani drove into Egypt last summer.
(continued to page eight)
The British admiralty reported that fleet units were bombarding the Italian held coastline as far west as Sollum and Bardia, 75 miles west of Sidi Barroni on the Egyptian-Libyan borde.
British sources reported Italian prisoners now total 10,000 and may

Just Around The Corner--- Students To Carry Home Thoughts Of Final Exams
University officials today dispatched their annual preChristmas present to Mount Oread's 5,000 students with the announcement of the final examination schedules for the first semester.
The examinations will be held during the week of Jan. 23 to Jan. 30. All schools in the University will follow the same examination schedule except the School of Law and the School of Medicine.
These schools have been authorized to draw up their own examination schedules which must take care of all non-medical and non-law students without causing these students conflicts with their other examinations.
Members of the faculty committee, composed of Olin Templin, secretary of the endowment association, J. H. Nelson, associate dean and professor of English, Hilden Gibson, instructor of political science and sociology, James K. Hitt, assistant registrar, T. H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering, and A. H. Turney, professor of education, will also attend the dinner.
Summerfield scholars will hold their annual Colloquium dinner in the Colonial Tea Room at six o'clock tomorrow night. Melvin McDonald and Harry M. White, college seniors, will read papers and conduct a discussion after the dinner.

Reminder: Stowe Lecture Postponed
Students are reminded that the lecture by Leland Stowe, famed news correspondent, which had been scheduled for tomorrow night has been postponed until March 19, according to an announcement by the Chancellor's office several weeks ago.
Mr. Stowe had to cancel his lecture because of the unsettled conditions in the Balkans at present, which makes it impossible for him to leave his work to return to the United States for the lecture tour.
though attendance at the meetings was rather small, reports show that those present were enthusiastic and exhibited great interest in planning projects for advertising the University in their communities.
The report sheets handed in by the county chairman after the meetings show a variety of projects in the process of development. Shawnee County Leads
Shawnee county's chairman, Mary L. Belcher, reports the greatest number of students attended a meeting, 54 in all. This county plans to have an alumni dance during the Christmas holidays.
The greatest project suggested was that planned by Wilson county. John Sherman, chairman and fine arts student, with the aid of members of his committee plans to send Christmas cards to all seniors and alumni in Wilson county.
Many counties reported plans for high school assemblies to be held in the near future. A preference for University student talent was noticed.
To Show Film
Like many other counties, Harvey county, with Virginia Griswold as chairman, plans to show the University film, "Far Above the Golden Valley," in the high schools of the county.
Many counties reported the plan of sending the Jayhawker and other campus publications to various high schools in their districts.
J. Rex Watkins, chairman of Saline county students, would like to have the Men's Glee club appear in a high school assembly in his county.
The proposed Mineral Industries building was discussed in many of the counties, and plans were laid to speak to district legislators to gain their support.
Palmer Is Held In County Jail On Two Charges
Robert Palmer, former University student, who was returned here yesterday on extradition from Oklahoma City, today was facing twin charges of perjury and possession of intoxicating liquor, according to Milton P. Beach, county attorney. Palmer is in the county jail, waiting for his bond to be set.
Palmer was tried earlier this year on a liquor possession charge, but the trial resulted in a hung jury. Later he forfeited a $500 bond put up by his parents in the November term of court.
The state charges that Palmer committed perjury in the previous trial when he stated that he had not sold liquor within the past year. His trial will be held in the February term of district court.

Designing Women Get Contest Chance
The guild also makes known from time to time, through the adviser, fields for which specific designs are wanted immediately. However, any designs for clothing or accessories are accepted for consideration. There is no limit to the number of designs any girl may submit.
The Campus Originals guild, a nation-wide organizatoin, is urging college girl designers to get out their pencils and submit an example of their ability at designing.
Barbara Smith, fine arts senior, has been appointed by the guild to act as adviser on the University of Kansas campus. The adviser's duty is to keep the girls informed and interested in submitting designs.
Designs which are accepted will be sold in leading stores throughout the country and will be marked with a Campus Originals Guild tag bearing the girl's name, college, and year
The Campus Originals Guild plan is not a contest but a permanent and all-year-round opportunity for college girls throughout the country.
Professor's Article Will Appear in Kansas Magazine
An illustrated article, "W11 d Flowers in the Kansas Landscape," by W. C. Stevens, professor of botany, will appear in the 1941 Kansas Magazine which is scheduled to appear early next week.
In addition to giving valuable and interesting information about well-known and not so well-known Kansas wild flowers, Professor Stevens' article is illustrated with several photographs.
Professor Stevens has published
two text books and various research articles. His photographic collection of wild flowers of Kansas begun in 1931 is now nearing completion for publication.

Big Six Teams In Nation-Wide Jaunts For Xmas
BY CARL LUNDQUIST Untied Press Staff Correspondent
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 12. —(UP)—Five of the Big Six conference basketball teams will indulge in intersectional jaunts that will carry them from coast to coast before their league schedules begin this year, but the sixth, the Missouri Tigers, will be a bunch of "stay at homes."
While their league brothers from Nebraska are basking in California's sunshine and while Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa State
and Kansas State engage in junkets to the east, Missouri's boys are going to stick to an intra-state schedule which includes games with Westminster, Washington, St. Louis University and Springfield Teachers.
Meet Indians in Two Sports
Incidentally, Nebraska's basketeers are going to play on the west coast at the same time that the Cornhusker football champions of the Big Six are meeting Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Even more of a co-incidence is the fact that one of Nebraska's basketball opponents will be Stanford. The basketball schedules were made out long before the Husker football team was invited to the Rose Bowl, however, so Coach Harold Brown of the basketball five figures it simply as a "lucky happenstance." The Huskers start their basketball swing on the day after Christmas at Berkeley, playing California. On the next night, Dec. 27, they play Stanford at Palo Alto, then go north to meet Oregon State at Corvallis on Dec. 30. This will give them plenty of time to get back down to Pasadena by New Year's Day.
Oklahoma, Kansas and Kansas State all will go on eastern junkets which will take them to the Atlantic coast.
Javhawkers in Garden
The Jayhawkers will play "one night stands" at New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, starting at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 28 when they, play the Fordham Rams.
Looking Good---

Big Gordon Nicholas, Iowa State's senior co-captain and center who has rolled in 29 points in the Cyclones' first three games this year.
On Dec. 30 they move over to Philadelphia to meet Temple and finish the tour at Chicago on January 3 against Loyola.
Kansas State plays a four game eastern series, starting Dec. 27 at Villanova, Pa., against Villanova, On the next night, the Staters play George Washington at Washington, D.C., and on Dec. 30 meet Seton Hall College at South Orange, N.J., finishing up at Urbana, Ill., on Jan. 2 against the University of Illinois.

CARL'S GOOD CLOTHES
As We See It By DON PIERCE
A scrappy "Phog" Allen was not slow today in answering a small but significant statement printed in last night's Kansas City Star charging him with direct subsidization of a basketball player in at least one case.
Bill Gray of Chanute was the charger in a short letter to C. E. McBride, the Star's sports editor. Gray was evidently referring to Allen's short visit to Chanute in the spring of '37—Ralph Miller's senior year.
Allen's unsolicited answer which he mailed today to both Gray and McBride is as follows:
I read with interest Mr. McBride's sports comment dated December 11, 1940, in which you say that "Phog" Allen is a prevaricator when he says he never subsidized a basketball player. I happen to be in a position to know that he has."
With that statement from you, I would appreciate it, yes, in fact I would insist, that you write Mr. McBride and tell him about all the knowledge that you have regarding any subsidizing that I did. I am perfectly willing that Mr. McBride print every word that you write and I will exercise the same option.
Doubtless you may refer to the case of Ralph Miller. So that Mr. McBride will have full information regarding this discussion I am sending him a carbon copy of the letter that I am writing you.
If my memory serves me correctly, I recall that I was invited to your home for dinner one Sunday evening. At that dinner were a number of Chanute people who were desirous of seeing Ralph Miller attend the University. I attended that meeting and discussed with Ralph Miller the advantages of attending the University. This was in the presence of eight or ten of your friends whom you had asked in. At no time during any of my discussion did I mention subsidization in any shape or form. There was no promise of a job by me nor was I consulted by you or any other individual regarding a job or a subsidy for Miller.
sidy for Miller.
I learned later, indirectly, that there was a group of Chanute businessmen who desired to help him in college. I was not a party to this knowingly or otherwise. There were no intermediaries and all I did was talk to him about the advantages of the University and I did it in an open and frank way, making no promises and working with no one, not even you. If you deny this fact then I withhold the inherent right to characterize your assertions in the same manner that you have characterized mine.
I still stand on my statement that I have never subsidized a basketball player.
Very cordially yours,
Forrest C. Allen

Henry Organizes Varsity Gridmen
Ed Young
In an effort to keep the men condition and improve their unity, the football coaching staff has decided to hold bi-weekly meetings after Christmas for all members of the varsity squad.
These meetings will be held at 3:30 p.m. in Robinson Gymnasium where the men will organize into teams and participate in volleyball, boxing, basketball, and handball. The purpose of these games is to teach the men to be more agile than simple football exercises will afford and to give them more polish by the time spring football rolls around.
By the 'varsity squad', Coach Henry said he meant all those boys who perfromed on the varsity or freshmen squads this fall and also all those men who plan to participate in spring football practice. Henry said that he hopes to establish more good will among the players and also to keep them together during their inactive winter months.
Bill Replogle, freshman coach added that there would also be a meeting each Monday night for this group. At this meeting movies of football games played last fall in other sections of the country will be shown and explained.
Notra Dame holds a slim 8 to 6 victory edge over U.S.C. in the 15 year old history of their intersectional rivalry.

McSpadden's 24 Points Paces Fiji Tonight
By CLINT KANAGA
Larry McSpadden of Phi Gamma Delta and Benny Ewers of Sig Alph "B" took heed of Howard Engleman's scoring feats against Texas by duplicating his style in their manner of getting points in last night's intramural basketball contests.
McSpadden broke Beta Fred Litttoys high mark for the year in "A" team ball by gathering 10 goals and 4 free throws for 24 points as the Phi Gams swamped Theta Tau 51 to 5. Litttooy's previous record was 18, established Tuesday night.
B. Ewers set the mark for all "B" stars to shoot at, by tallying 26 points, as the Sig Alph "B" won easily from Kappa Sig "B" 46 to 9.
In the other games of the evening, delta Chi downed Alpha Tau Omega 29-19 for its second straight win; Sigma Nu "B" defeated Pi K.A. "B" 26 to 12; A.T.O. "C" triumphed over Phi Gam "C" 20 to 1; and Sig Alph "C" fell before Sigma Chi "C" 13-6.
Moving in front 18-2 at the half, the Phi Gams literally poured the ball through the hoop the final period. Healy aided McSpadden in the scoring column by hitting eight field goals and held Domingo, Theta Tau star, to one charity toss.
With Ed Hall finding the basket consistently as he has done in the past two years, the Delta Chris won a hard fought battle from the A.T.O. five. Hall and "Chuck" Wenstrand led the scoring with 14 and eight points respectively. The Delta Chis held a five point margin at halftime and increased it to 10 by the end of the game.
Other standouts in the less important games of the evening were Westfall and Gubar for the A.T.O. "C", Fogel with 12 points for the Sigma Nu "B", and Worley's fine all-around play for the Sigma Chi "C".
Ingrid Frestadius Arrives Home Swede Goes By Express
Ingrid Frestadius, former exchange student at the University, has arrived safely at her home in Gimo, Sweden. This good news was received this morning in an uncensored letter by Mrs. James Blue of 1501 Vermont.
Ingrid left the United States on Oct. 10 and arrived in Sweden Nov. 4. Her trip took her through Portugal, Spain, France Switzerland, Germany and Poland. She travelled by way of express so that she couldn't get $ \textcircled{*} $
lost—she never saw her ticket.
Encountered Floods In Spain
It took 10 days to travel through Spain because of the many floods there; otherwise she experienced few delays on her trip. At a port in Poland, German soldiers stopped her—but only to ask her whom the Americans were going to elect president.
Cars in Sweden can't use "gazoline" as fuel, but they have to use some kind of gas from charcoal or wood. She is coaxing her father to buy his first car so that she can continue with her driving which she learned here at the University.
She is trying to get a job as a newspaper reporter to some American paper which publishes everyday life in Stockholm. Jobs are scarce in Sweden because "everywhere they are firing people."
"I have to take a course in English and German shorthand, without I won't get anywhere, that is clear . . . Then I will start with Russian . . . especially now with our new commercial agreement with Sovjet."
Ingrid was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. While here she spoke before 108 different groups in the towns of Kansas.
Wilcox Is Eastern Air Lines Pilot
Axel Is Eastern Air Lines Pilot Jesse A. Wilcox, who attended the University during the year 1932-1933, has joined the Eastern Air Lines as pilot of the Great Silver Fleet, according to informaiton received from Capt. E. V. Rickenbacker, president and general manager of the company.
Wilcox is lieutenant, junior grade, in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He was with the United States Navy Air Corps for four years before joining the air transport company.

The first game will see the ETCs in action in basketball for the first time. The group was organized by Miss Hoover this fall and includes Jerry Ulm, outstanding TNT guard last year.
The first two brackets of the ping pong tournament have been played off with the following results: ETCs defeated TNTs, 2-0; Miller hall defeated the INDs, 3-0; Kappas defeated the A.D. Pis, 3-0; ETCs defeated the INDs. 2-1; and TNTs. defeated IWWs, 2-1.

Louis Weinberg, president of Delta Phi Delta, said that it planned to carry out the project on a loan library idea. A small fee is to be charged for matting the works so that they will be suitable to hang in students' rooms. Many of the more valuable prints or originals will be framed and put under glass.
Some of the artists on the Hill will contribute some original pieces which can be loaned to organized houses.
Aside from reproductions, the collection will include woodcuts, etchings, pieces of sculpture, oil paintings, and lithographs.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1940
The Kansan Comments-same time, deliver a blow to Hitler's "new order" in Europe by repealing the Johnson Act.
EDITORIALS★
On December 2, 1823, James Monroe, President of the United States of America, made his famous declaration which fenced off the western hemisphere, kept it free from foreign exploitation.
Bluff or Luck?
The most serious threat was at the time of the Civil War. Louis Napoleon of France set up the puppet government of Maximillian in Mexico, with the initial aid of England, under the guise of collecting claims against the Mexican government. The English soon withdrew.
Secretary of State Seward objected to every move of the French occupation. Maximillian was backing the South to win. As the North became more successful, Seward's notes became stronger. At the end of the war, the United States massed troops on the border of Mexico, demanded that Louis Napoleon withdraw his troops.
War was imminent. Suddenly Napoleon ordered his men to embark for France, leaving Maximillian to Mexican mercy. Was Napoleon scared? Not at all. Bismarck was on the move to unify the German nation and French troops were badly needed at home.
For more than 100 years the United States has upheld the Monroe Doctrine, never once resorting to the use of force. Several presidents have been glorified in American history because they "out-bluffed" wily European diplomats and forced them to withdraw claims.
The real truth is that without the English navy and the Balance of Power in Europe, the Monroe Doctrine would long since have gone by the board.
In 1895, England, strong and aggressive, sought to force Venezuela, weak and unarmed, to cede to British Guiana without protest, 30-000 square miles involved in a border dispute.
President Cleveland decided the Monroe Doctrine was being violated. He set up a commission to determine the true boundary, which he said the United States would protect. The British were astounded at such audacity.
No one knows what the decision would have been, for England withdrew her claim. Just a few days after President Cleveland's announcement had come the news of Doctor Jameson's ill-fated raid into Transvaal, the beginning of the turmoil in South Africa that led England into the Boer war.
Again in 1902, trouble arose over the Monroe Doctrine, again in Venezuela. Germany, Italy, and England proposed to force the little South American country to recognize certain claims of their nationals. Acting on advice of the United States minister, Venezuela recognized some of the claims, offered to arbitrate to determine the amount. England and Italy accepted, withdrew. Germany, who had wished to test the Doctrine, was forced to withdraw because she could not fight a war with the English navy in her rear.
Waiting for the Wind
Each time the Balance of Power and the English navy saved the Monroe Doctrine and the face of American diplomats. United States is now on the edge of a new era. Should the English navy collapse and England herself be beaten, United States will be forced, for the first time, to "put up, or shut up."
President Roosevelt, often called an opportunist, is apparently missing an opportunity to please a pro-British electorate and, at the
BOOKS★
LETTERS★
Europe's "new order" is definitely disorderly right now. Rumania is in a chaotic condition, and there is a real threat of anarchy which would endanger the Reich's oil supply; French university students have been demonstrating in favor of De Gaulle; in Denmark, the civil police have already clashed with the nazis; and Norwegian avalanches, which cut German supply lines, seem to be getting their impetus as much from rebel dynamite as from the rains.
which might have a great nuisance value, if Britain were able to help. Since the blitzkrieg is analyzed as an organized, mechanized, form of guerilla fighting, perhaps these tactics could be used effectively against it.
These things show a strong possibility of guerrilla warfare within the conquered nations
Mr. Roosevelt, however, has recently eased up on his demands for "everything short of war" in aiding Britain. This is indicated by deferring action on repeal of the Johnson Act until the January session of Congress. Deferment may mean that he is merely trying to get better British security for loans, or it may mean he is afraid of the ultimate downfall of the British Empire.
Added to the signs of violent discontent are Il Duce's about face advance in Albania, the clamor of young Egyptians for open war against Italy, and Spain's apparent willingness to let Britain keep Gibraltar, all of which indicate continued British dominance in the Mediterranean.
Close to the President is ambassador Kennedy, who holds little hope for British victory. It is possibly due to this fear of British defeat that the President is hedging. Perhaps Mr. Roosevelt is waiting for the direction of January's winds to determine his course.

K.U. Colors Really Blue And Maize, Not Crimson
"Something old — something new —
Something borrowed - something That is how the spirit of the University of Kansas was born. Well, most occasions, this one has no definite beginning—
Something borrowed — something blue—"
Unlike most creations, this one has no definite beginning like Topsy, it just grew. Today it walks the campus with some five thousand students and lives in distant corners of the globe in many guises.
On the basketball court, in the classroom, from the laboratories to the distant fields of research, atop Mt. Oread and amidst the havoc of war it goes with the men and women of K.U. It
The spirit of Kansas made its formal debut more than fifty years ago—in the form of the school colors. Sometimes before 1890, the governing body chose corn yellow and pale sky-blue as the colors of the University. In 1890 Colonel John J. McCook gave the land for McCook field and K.U. entered the realm of competitive sport. No self-respecting team of eleven huskies could be expected to wear corn yellow and pale sky-blue on a football field. With the athletic fans backing the demands of the team for a change, the pastels gave way to a more virile and vivid combination.
McCook was a Harvard man and the crimson of Harvard was his first choice among the proposed colors. To complete the combination (and
at the same time not show favoritism) the blue of Yale, Harvard's most prominent opponent, was adopted.
Not long afterward, the "Crimson and the Blue" came to be heard as well as seen, when George Barlow Penney, first dean of the School of Fine Arts, wrote the Alma Mater. Mr. Penney followed the example set by his predecessors. He borrowed the music from Cornell's "Far Above Cayuga's Waters," changed the words to fit Mt. Oread and its valley, and the song for Kansas was written.
With the crimson and blue to emblazon the path of athletic glory and a song to praise its greatness, the University needed but one more medium through which to typify the ever-growing spirit. Daniel Henry Maloy, '14, in 1911 created the bird that was to become the K.W. emblem. He introduced the Jayhawk as the fighting bird with shoes on. (The shoes were to kick the Missouri hound dog.)
"Ve Vill lick der world!" declares Hitler. All that, and heaven, too.
ROCK CHALK TALK
By HEIDI VIETS
It you weren't at the basketball fracas Tuesday night you missed some ingenious between-halves yells. While two games of table tennis were being played on the gymnasium floor, bright sideliners cheered "Yea ping, yea pong; yea, ping pong!"
Other inspired "yea yea" combinations were Boy Scout (for Boy Scout officials of the ping pong games), br-ac, (for the current slang insult), Corny Elbel (for announcer E.R. Elbel, associated professor of physical education), and Tex-as.
These choice bits were led by their various composers, not by the K.J. cheerleaders.
Medal for hairtrigger action in an emergency should go to Dick Shaefe- fer
The other day a cap, left on a lamp at the Sig Alph house, caught on fire. Actives nearby called pledge Shaeffer to the rescue. Grabbing the flaming cap, he rushed to an active's door and knocked.
is it all right if I go in there?" he asked, indicating the guest bathroom. The cap blazed in his hand. The actives hurried him in to the wash basin.
"Shall I use hot or cold water?," he asked untroubled.
Texas basketballer Thurman Hull found practically a namesake on campus here. All that Phi Gam pledge Thurman Hill had to say was, "With a name like that, he can't go wrong."
"Mighty peculiar thought the Pi K. A.'s when, after an agent describing himself as vacuum-cleaner repair man and representative of a local shop had carried away their cleaner, they called the shop to find it had never heard of him.
The man brought back the machine and a bill for $9.50, but was glad to get away without the money when his customers put the bee on him. This time (pardon pun) his cleaner racket didn't clean up.
As everybody knows, Phi Delt Henry Noller is engaged to a Theta. But a certain Gamma Phi is assuming open season for flickering sweet nothings around.
When pledges of Scabbard and Blade, military honorary, were waving wooden swords and doffing tin hats last week, they met every noon on the center steps of Frank Strong hall for cannon practice. One play-like cannon was pointed straight at the window of 205 Frank Strong, hangout of mathematics professors.
One noon Prof. G.W. Smith leaned out the window, fluttering a flag above his head. "Shoot if you must this old bald head, but spare the country's flag," he said.

"ESCAPE TO GLORY"
(The story continued from Wednesday's Kansan).
War breaks out when Glen Inniston is in mid-Atlantic. Larry, who is determined to "get Morgan," has been hiding in his cabin, but is forced to reveal himself when the Captain orders lifeboat drill. Dr. Behrens is placed under technical arrest. Morgan begins to crack, as Farrough "makes a play" for Christine. That night, guns and a gun crew are placed aboard the ship. Next day, a submarine attacks. The forward gun and crew are blasted away; Farough mans the aft gun, and blasts the submarine's conning tower. Then Glen Inniston escapes into the fog, engines crippled. Dr. Behrens sends a message to the submarine and then destroys the radio. He turns on his electric diathermy set, its short wave serves as a beam for the submarine. Mike discovers the trick; Dr. Behrens commits suicide. (Story concluded in Friday's Kansan.

Science Men In Oil Adorn Anatomy Building
Men of science are to live again in the old anatomy building by means of the newly acquired art collection being hung there.
Some time ago the anatomy department of the medical school made a contract with the W.P.A. artist's project to paint forty
oil pictures of famous figures in the history of medicine and anatomy.
Several of the group of pictures have been finished and are hung in the back west hall of the anatomy building. These are Bernard, founder of experimental medicine; Sydenham founder of scientific study of clinical medicine; Da Vinci, universal genius, anatomical painter; Schultz, who described protoplasm; Van Baer, father of embryology; Harvey, who described the circulation of blood, and Servetus, who described pulmonary circulation.
As the individual pictures arrive from the W.P.A. studies they are being framed and hung.
Fred Litttoo, law senior from Olathe, will be listed in the 1940-1941 issue of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges."

Serum Culture Rushed From University to China
When serum bases made in Kansas can save the lives of thousands of war and disease plagued Chinese, it must be a small world.
Serum cultures prepared in the department of bacteriology under the direction of Noble P. Sherwood, professor of bacteriol-
ogy, are now being used bases for serums that are stopping the spread of plague in Cathay.
These cultures are being rushed from the University by air mail at the appeal of Wong Yau Wai, University graduate and now a technical expert in the serum and toxic laboratories of the national epidemic prevention bureau in the Republic of China. Many shipments of the serum have been sent to the inner province laboratories.
Wong Yau Wai took his graduate work in bacteriology under Sherwood and after receiving his M.A. degree returned to China to practice medicine.
The technique for preserving bacteria used in making these Chinese
serum shipments was perfected by Sherwood and Lewis L. Coriell, junior medic. A summary of the method was published in the Kansas State Medical Society Journal for December, 1937.
Dr. John W. Ashton Will Address Poetry Club

Closer to Porto Palermo
The situation in Albania was developing slowly. London reported that the Greeks had pushed two miles closer to Poro Palermo on the coast. However, Italian resistance stiffened on the central and northern fronts. There was heavy fighting in the Mokra mountains north of Pogradec where the Greeks were driving toward Elbasan, central Albanian Italian headquarters. The drive north of Argyrokaston was approaching Tepelini. Rome reported nothing on the Albanian war except that the Greek attacks were repulsed.

University May Receive New Military Science Building Move To Redistrict Baldwin To Go To Washington For Conference
Rising Sun Plan Before M.S.C.
The Pachaeamaac squadron of "trouble shooters" flew over a "routine" Men's Student Council meeting last night and dropped a time bomb in the form of a demand for re-districting University men for next spring's election.
In backing up their action David Whitney, assuming party leadership in the absence of Bob McKay, charged that the present apportionment was unfair both in regard to the numbers represented by each member of the Council and also that each district should have an odd number of representatives in order that the majority party could make itself evident.
P. S.G.L. seeking to handle the "explosive" gingerly showed no opposition to the action, but Russell Mosser, graduate, charged Pachacamaca with having made the present apportionment and demanded ample reason for changing. To this, Whitney replied that his party had a plan whereby the representation would not differ more than 20 men throughout the districts. The party of the Rising Sun did not release the details of this plan.
Bill Farmer, president of the M.S.C., announced a committee of four: Chuck Elliott, college sophomore, and Dick Oliver, college junior, from Pachacamac and Russell Mosser, graduate, and Bill Farmer, second year law, from P.S.G.L. to meet and pick three faculty advisers. This seven man committee will then proceed with a study of

Dr. King to Remain As Washburn Head
Topeka, Kans., Dec. 13-(UP)—Dr. Philip King, president of Washburn College, today announced that he had withdrawn his resignation as president of the college.
Several months ago Doctor King offered his resignation, announcing that he was considering an offer from an Eastern foundation to continue educational work.
Washburn, one of the oldest colleges in Kansas, has recently had difficulty with finances because of interest losses from its endowment. There has been considerable discussion of a proposal to convert Washburn to a municipal school, similar to the University of Wichita.
School trustees said that his decision to withdraw his resignation meant that he will at least finish the present school year as president of the college.
Watch Your Step Friday the Thirteenth
Save for miserably cold weather, neck-breaking, icy sidewalks, term papers due, and a few classes tomorrow, this isn't a bad day—except that it happens to be Friday the thirteenth.
For students, Friday the any other Friday except that vent their spleen on a whole semester of lousy Fridays. Almost every Friday this fall has been "Black Friday" in that it was invariably the night before a football game or the night before Saturday classes.
Friday the thirteenth isn't different from that it does give them a chance to
But today is the climax. Today if you break a mirror your girl will break a date; if you light three cigarettes on a match someone is sure to catch you smoking in a prohibited area; if you carry a rabbit's foot you'll probably sprain your own; and if you don't do that, you still have a chance of contracting tularemia.
in short, today is the day you had better just stay in bed and hope that the slats hold out. Don't take a chance on anything—not even a Rose Bowl bet or an Indian blanket.
War Summary
By JOE ALEX MORRIS
United Press Foreign Editors British and Greek forces smashed relentlessly at the Italians today. The British drove close to the frontier of Libya in the war of Egypt's western desert while the Greeks forced the Italians from Porto Palermo in the Albanian campaign.
The British reported from Cairo that prisoners taken in the western desert campaign now are believed to exceed 25,000. The number of generals captured was increased to five in addition to one Italian general killed. Pursuit of retreating Italian forces went forward close to the Libyan frontier.

Santas To Cleaners
Peoria, Ill., Dec. 13—(UP)—Police Chief Leo Kamins today ordered charity organization Santa Clauses to clean up their suits or get off Peoria streets.
"It only confuses children to see a Santa Claus on every corner, leaning against a lamp post, wearing a different kind of shoe on each foot, khaki puttees instead of boots and dirty wads of cotton for beards, Kamins said.
Charity organizations agreed to have the Santa Clauses cleaned up.
The University will have a new armory building for the headquarters of the department of Military Science if government authorities will agree to the proposal.
Col Karl F. Baldwin will leave next week for Washington to confer with federal officials on the prospects for a Military Science building, application for which has been made to the W.P.A. by the University and the Board of Regents.

Vespers, Trumpets, Chimes Will Welcome Holidays
By ED GARICH
Noel, Noel, the angels did sing.
The School of Fine Arts does not promise the appearance of angels, but every other means available will be used to herald the Christmas season Sunday, when the musicians present their annual Christmas vespers.
Pealing chimes from the tower of Dyche museum, and trumpeted carols from the balcony of Hoch auditorium will precede by 20 minutes the two performances of the combined music and tableaux celebration which draws capacity audiences to the auditorium every year. The School of Fine Arts expects to present the vespers to an audience of 7,000 or 8,000 in its performances at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and 7 o'clock in the evening.
The chimes in Dyche tower will continue to play each evening from 7:30 to 8 with floodlights illuminating the building.
Final rehearsals for the program will be held tonight and tomorrow night. Members of the a cappella
choir will be assigned their places and details of the candle-light processional will be worked out. The tableaux will be staged and lighting problems worked out.
The choir will carry song book covers designed especially for the occasion by members of the department of design under the direction of Prof. T. D Jones. Professors Eastwood and Mattern are painting the tableaux backgrounds. Bernard Frazier has prepared a number of sheep and lamas to be used in the scenes.
ment from National Defense funds. The total cost is estimated at $125,000.
National Defense Project
Since this building would contribute to national defense, it could be a national defense project under terms of the Emergency Relief Appropriation of 1940.
The present application was made to determine the prospects for the approval of this type of project, and the probable cost of the project to the University. This application has been made without any commitment by the University.
The major contribution of the State, it is hoped, would be the provision for architectural work and a certain amount of the materials. Most of the latter is cut-stone salvage from Old Snow hall. Use of this stone is figured into the preliminary plans which have been drawn up in the Topeka offices of Roy Stookey, state architect.
Propose Site
The proposed site for the building is about 100 yards southwest of Hoch auditorium. The dimensions of the building are, main building 95 feet by 105 feet; with a storage addition of 41 feet by 122 feet. There would also be a space leveled there for drill and anti-aircraft equipment.

Pre-Vacation Weekend Gay With Thirteen Parties
Cold weather, Christmas trees, and 13 parties on the weekend of Friday the thirteenth make this weekend a red letter one in more than one sense of the word.
With this weekend being the last school weekend of this year, University students are planning and have planned festivities that would put anybody else but college students in bed for a week.

Jayhawkers A Strong Indoor Track Threat
"I don't look for Kansas to win the Big Six indoor meet this winter, but I expect the boys to give the favored Nebraska and Oklahoma teams a tussle," commented Coach Bill Hargiss as he watched his boys whiz around the indoor track under the stadium last night.
The wily K.U. mentor, surveyed his crop of veterans and new men and said that they were looking good, but would look better when Bob Stoland, Don Pollom, and others begin working out.
Lettermen returning are: Bill Bevan, pole vault, and Darrel Mathes, sprints, co-captains; Ted Scott, sprints, Kenny Hamilton, Bill Reid, and Fred Eberhardt, 440, Don Thompson and Dick Edwards, distances; Bob Stoland, high, broad
jump and hurdles; and J. R. Jones, broad jump. Jack O'Hara, pole vaulter, is not in school this semester, but will return next semester.
Jones is the only first place winner in the Big Six indoor meet last year returning. He won the broad jump. Stoland has been Big Six outdoor champ in the broad and high jumps, but was ruled ineligible last season because he carried one hour less than the 27 required by the conference during the two semesters previous to participation.
Coach Hargiss has a better balanced team than last winter, with several distance men, jumpers and sprinters returning. However, he is looking for a shot putter. The shot putter famine began after Elwyn Dees was graduated in 1935.
He intends to convert some of his
short distance men to the long distances. Several promising sophomores have come up to bolster Thompson and Edwards.
Don Pollom, sophomore from Topeka, will strengthen the sprinting corps of Mathes and Scott. The holder of the national interscholastic record in the 200-yard low hurdles was a sensation in the 60-yard dash and low hurdles last winter.
Other promising sophomores include Orlando Epp, 440, John Mitcherener, pole vault, Bill Knight, pole vault and broad jump, Tom Lilliard, Harold Dickerson, Clarence
Miller, Don Welty, Russell Mount, distances, and Harold Wright, broad jump.
The team will open the season at the Kansas City A.A.U. meet Feb. 8.
Phi Psi's Edge Out Alph's In Feature
By CLINT KANAGA
A last quarter rally, led by Knight and Arbuckle, gave Phi Kappa Psi a virtory over Sigma Alpha Epsilon 21 to 17 in last night's outstanding intramural game. The Phi Psi win was their second straight for the season.

center half, Helen Wilson; right
half, Marjorie Rader; left back,
Evelyn Herriman; right back, Mary
Lee Chapple; goal keeper, Evelyn
Kinney.
Pi Kappa Alpha won from Kappa Eta Kappa 24 to 10 in the other "A" game. A. K. Psi "B" defeated Carruth "B" 26 to 8 while Phi Delt "B" downed Sig Ep "B" 20 to 8. Hepworth was high point man for A. K. Psi. Boddington paced the Phi Delt five.
The varsity volleyball squad is composed of Mildred Wells, Corbin; Evelyn Herriman, IWW; Mary Beth Dodge, KKG; Gladys Bitter, TNT; Virginia Bell, IWW; Evelyn Kinney, TNT; Peggy Davis, KAT; Lenore Grizzell, Corbin; and Alta Bingham, Corbin. Honorary mentions were Helen Wilson, A.D. Pi, and Ellen Irwin, KKG.
Engel and McCormick starred, as the Pi K. A.'s won easily. Kappa Eta Kappa fought, but only Brunton could hit the hoop.
Loss of Bob Bond, star Sig Alph scorer and rebounder, played an important part in the Phi Psi triumph. The Alphs led at the half 9-8, and at the third quarter 15-14. A "hot" streak by the Psis, totaled seven points; the losers got one more goal; and the Phi Psis "froze" the ball for the last two minutes of play.
Getto Home After Good Pro Season
Mike Getto, line coach of the Brooklyn Dodgers professional football team and former line coach of the Jayhawkers, arrived in Lawrence Wednesday night to remain until football practice begins again in August.
Getto had a large hand in piloting the Dodgers to second place in the Eastern division of the National league. In his first year as line coach he raised the standard of line play which brought the Dodgers from the second division in 1939 to first this season.

The Chi Omegas beat the Alpha Chis, 13-5. Ruth McIrath, Dorothy Burkhead and Anna Jane Hoffman were Chi Omega mainstays and Dorothy Durand was outstanding as an Alpha Chi forward.
The INDs defeated Miller hall, 20-13. Katherine Schaake was a valuable IND forward, and Evelyn Nielson netted the most points for Miller hall.

The Kansan Comments -most Englishmen. He has kept Anglo-American relations firm through many ticklish wartime disputes.
EDITORIALS★
BOOKS★
If Mr. Gardner means that an active and interesting school-wide physical education program, having equal status with other courses should be developed, we are all for him.
Mr. Gardner is off base in only one thing. He speaks of varsity athletics as though their nature were that of an all-school physical educational program.
Gardner points to the current movement favoring more athletics and physical education for young men as an aid in the national defense program. "Certainly health is more important than any book work," he said.
"We want the boys to maintain high scholastic averages, but we also want them to do just as well in athletics as they do in chemistry," Gardner concluded.
"Now don't misunderstand me," Gardner warned, "At Kansas State we consider athletes an essential part of the educational program. This is contrasted with some schools which apparently feel otherwise and limit participation in athletics to a select few. Isn't it logical to believe that athletics are just as beneficial to the average or poor student as the Phi Beta Kappa?" he said.
JACK Gardner, head Kansas State basketball coach, is in for a lot of—perhaps—undeserved criticism in the next few days. Yesterday Mr. Gardner branded as "unfair" the practice of requiring college boys to maintain high scholastic averages to compete in athletics.
Gardner on Athletics
A program to turn out a healthy, as well as an educated student, is certainly to be commended. Courses in this program should be on a par with other courses in the school. However, the program should be conducted within the university, the same as chemistry, to which Mr. Gardner refers.
The British ambassador had won the respect and confidence of American diplomats. He was affable, straight-forward, more informal than
PATTER★
England was banking heavily on Lord Lothian in perhaps the most strategically important campaign of the war—the campaign to get the United States securely and actively on the British side of the fence.
THE British war office yesterday jubilantly reported that a swift offensive in northern Africa which has netted 20,000 Italian prisoners apparently in continuing unabated.
Inter-scholastic competition of the athletes thus developed should be, as it is now, regulated by grade requirements. Physical education is for health. Inter-scholastic competition is for pleasure, or school honor, or to attract crowds, or some other reason. The latter should be, as it is now, extra-curricular, open only to those who have first satisfactorily performed curricular requirements.
Athletics are a definite part of an educational program, Mr. Gardner believes. "The boy who flunks chemistry shouldn't be barred from athletic competition any more than the boy who fails in athletics should be barred from taking chemistry," he said.
Another British Disaster
In Washington, D.C., the British received a heavy, shocking, body blow. The Marquess of Lothian, British ambassador to the United States died of uremic infection.
LETTERS★
Last plea of Lothian to the American public was made the night before his death in a speech, read by an aide, to the American Farm Bureau Federation in Baltimore. He asked United States help on the seas; the British navy is stretched "terribly thin," he said. He predicted that Britain would win the war if the United States would give her full aid.
England has lost her key man at the height of the American-aid campaign. If the post is not filled quickly by an informed, tactful man who has the confidence of the American public, this loss may prove as great a setback as any military disaster that Britain has suffered in the war.

You Said It
The Kansan welcomes contributions to You Said It. All letters should be limited to 300 words or less, and the right to edit communications to this length is reserved by the editors. Letters must bear the name of the contributor, although the signature will be deleted upon request.
Dear Mr. Green:
Gray Dorsey, editor-in-chief of the Kansan, has asked me if I care to write a rebuttal to your criticism of my criticism which appeared in Wednesday's paper. Space in the Kansan prohibits a long and useless verbal duel about my stuff, so let me warn you that this will be my first, last, and only article defending myself.
To begin, Mr. Green, I was much surprised and flattered to find that someone other than my parents reads my articles.
So, to my three readers:
Mr. Green, you ask me to try to write a constructive criticism. May I ask your definition of a constructive criticism? To me, the term implies that there must be something wrong before there can be a helpful hint on how to improve it. Evidently you would have me confine my efforts to lauding the musical organizations on the campus. Such is the connotation of your statement that the only intelligent paragraphs in the article were the ones crediting the student conductors.
If you would care to come up to the Journalism building some afternoon, I will read through my stories of this year and list the constructive criticisms I have made.
As far as the bigger orchestras of the country being off the beat is concerned, I would suggest that you listen some Sunday afternoon to the concerts of the Columbia symphony (2 p.m. CBS) and tell me how many times the orchestra gets noticeably off the tempo.
According to Mr. Webster's dictionary, the word amateur means doing something without remuneration, or pay. This certainly is applicable to the University symphony. The underlying motive of the statement was that an organization which practices only five or six hours a week cannot be expected to rank with an orchestra which must play well or starve to death. In passing, let me remind you of what Deems Taylor says about accepting music too readily as being good. (Look in "Of Men and Music").
About the acoustics problem, I would be glad to take you to the physics department some day, where they will tell you that the time of reverberation in the auditorium is nine seconds in places, where it should be less than half of that.
As far as the "Euryanthe" overture is concerned, I did not mean to imply that the orchestra was any less liable to praise for having done it three times before. I merely meant that I would have been greatly surprised if they had not done it well.
Space forbids taking up your criticisms completely and exonerating myself, but I should very much like to meet you in person and try to convince you that I try to tell what seems to me to be the truth. I do not claim to be a professional critic, any more than the orchestra should claim to be professional. I merely try to tell what the thing sounds like to the average concert-goer. As far as my competence is concerned, I am not a musician, except in an amateurish way, but I think my free-lance study of music has given me some basis for my writings.
If I had the space, I could quote many members of the School of Fine Arts student body, and even some of the faculty who aren't overly offended with the reviews. One member of the orchestra even offered to write this rebuttal for me.
I'm so sorry I don't please you, Mr. Green, but if I could please everyone, I should probably be too smart to even bother writing those reviews.—Ed Garich.
ROCK CHALK TALK
By HEIDI VIETS
The Corbin hall Christmas party Wednesday night was more baronial than old England. Celebration took place in Corbin Manor, whose lord and lady were Lenora Grizzell and Helen Edlin. When a guest entered, he was escorted by pages Ann Lee and Mari Lee Nelson to where trumpeter Ada Catharine Croll announced him with fanfare.
Old English details were the court jester, Evelyn Jones, the Yule log dragged in by Jean and Jane Jones, the repertoire of old Christmas carols that Song Leader Marybelle Long had taught the girls.
Among the guests were Gov. Payne H. Ratner and Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
When the Yule log was "wished on," the Chancellor read a poem in which he recalled all Corbin gossip of the last two weeks. The current affair of Jean Steele and Jimmy Burdge, Othene Huff's reputation for talking over the phone for hours on end, Martha Fairhurst's popularity, recent Corbin fat of pulling bricks along the sidewalk along the east side of the D. Pi house—all we touched on in the Chancellor's poem.
The idea was to wish something for everybody. For Governor Ratner he wished one thing only—more votes.
A shriek in the periodical room of the library Tuesday night scared students' pale and a cat out of seven of its lives.
Buzz Crain came in, walked confidently to a study table, pulled out a chair. Then the piercing scream!
Curled up in the chair was a cat, which he at first chance thought to be a snake with designs on his very existence.

Drill Hall On Second
The range and storage space would be in the basement, the offices and classrooms on the first floor, and the drill hall on the second floor. In the event that this building is constructed the war department would provide several hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment for which there is now no storage facilities. "Need To Unset?"
The need for this building is urgent. R.O.T.C., officials say, because training facilities here are poorer than in any other state university. Regardless of this handicap, the department has had a rating of "excellent" year after year.

Enrollment in the department has increased 128 per cent since 1937.
In addition, the building would contribute directly to the National Defense Program.

It was believed the Greeks would soon push to Chimara, five miles farther north on the old coastal
In Egypt there was a tacit Italian admission that the whirlwind offensive of Gen. Archibald Wavell was rolling toward Sollum, on the Libyan frontier.
Need Lothian Successor
In London the chief problem of the moment was the question of a successor to Lord Lothian, British Ambassador to the United States, who died yesterday.
The need of filling the post was said to be heightened by the imperative nature of Britain's problems as regards supply of airplanes and ships.
The air war was marked last night by a German attack on Sheffield, the great Steel center. Berlin claimed this attack was even more severe than the famous Coventry raid but British accounts, while admitting the destructiveness of the bombing, did not indicate it was pulverizing in its effect.
British air action over the continent was cancelled by bad flying conditions.

The Union has received many improvements in the last five years, but can still stand some improvements from toilet facilities on up." Ellsworth said. "There is need for a bigger and better ballroom which was shown by the over-crowded conditions at the recent R.O.T.C. ball."
Chances of building a north wing to the Memorial Union building are brighter as a result of the annual meeting of the Memorial Union Corporation board yesterday noon.
Seek Ways To Add North Wing To Union
The belief that the Union building is in need of improvements was expressed by Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association.
The board gave Irving Hill, president, the power to appoint two committees to make further investigation of the project. One committee will determine the ways and means of financing the addition, while the other will seek information along architectural lines.
Henry Werner, first vice-president of the Union commission, gave a report on the operation of the Union building during the past year. He told of the additions made this summer in the fountain, W.S.G.A. book exchange, Jayhawker office, the University Club, and the Kansas room, a total of $17,000 worth of remodeling work during the summer months.
Those attending the board meeting were Werner, Irving Hill, C. C. Stewart, F. C. Allen, director of athletics; Richard Allen of Topeka; O-Thene Huff, president of the W.S.G.A.; Bill Farmer, president of the Men's Student Council; W. J. Baumgartner, professor of zoology; Karl Klooz, university bursar; H. H. Lesar, Carter Butler, Fred Ellsworth, and Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Memorial Union.
The first conference for group leadership for adult leaders of Christian youth groups will be held at the University on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 24 and 25.
The district Y.W.C.A., the area M.C.A., and the Kansas Council of Churches are cooperating with the University Extension Division in holding the conference which will convene at 10 a.m. on Friday and adjourn at 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Arno Haack, of Washington University, St. Louis; Miss Elizabeth Hering, New York City; and Dean Paul Roberts, of St. John's Cathedral, Denver, will be the principal speakers.
Leaders are expected to attend from Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Missouri. Topics of

Penny Pitching Season
Remember the penny-pitching game in Frank Strong hall last Christmas? It's there again.
The penny bucket and net, suspended from the rotunda balcony (accompanied by a chart to show financial progress) will be open for business tomorrow. And if you happen to wander past, feel the urge to pitch a few pennies, and have no change, be of good hope; a change bureau will be on hand for just such persons.
Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, sponsors of the project, use this means to raise money to buy food and toys for needy Lawrence families. As a separate phase of the campaign, all organized houses are being asked to contribute old clothes. Last year several cash contributions were made, in addition to large amounts of clothing. Houses also will be asked for after-party toy collections.

Gray Apologizes To "Phog" Closed Matter--Allen
Chanute Man Was Misquoted
William "Bill" Gray, Chanute businessman, who was quoted in the Kansas City Star last Tuesday as calling Dr. Forrest C. Allen, University basketball coach, a prevaricator in his many statements denying subsidization of promising basketball players on his part, was author of a profound apology to Allen yesterday.
Gray's letter:
My dear Phog:
Not only did Gray apologize, but he inferred that he had been quoted on but a portion of a conversation and in such a manner as to misrepresent his true feelings.
I am in receipt of your December 11th letter and first let me say that I am truly sorry that any remarks that I am quoted as having made, were such as to have caused you any grievance.
You, "Phog," have known me for some time and should know that there is nothing malicious in my make-up which would would call for my making any statements intentionally, with the view of causing anyone the least of harm, ill will, or hard feelings.
Only a portion of a conversation with a certain party was quoted, in an uncomplimentary manner and in such a way as to fail to express my true feelings with regard to you or your remarks.
Unfortunately the best of us are sometimes misunderstood (continued to page eight)

Organized Houses Hold Up Crusade
CAA Fliers Grounded By Weather
Bad weather conditions and a low ceiling kept the CAA student flyers grounded yesterday.
The following houses have had their food handlers and house-mothers tuberculin tested: Alpha Omicron Pi, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Chi, Sigma Chi, and Battenfeld hall. Four groups are complete except for one person who remains to be tested in each house. They are: Alpha Tau Omega, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Nu Sigma Nu, and the Dunakin club.
Letters were sent to organized houses in October requesting that food handlers report at the hospital for examination, according to hospital authorities. To date, only eight houses have complied with the request.
The University Health Service's crusade against tuberculosis is being stymied by the apparent disregard of organized houses to the request that they have their food handlers tuberculin tested.
Regulations require that the planes fly at a minimum altitude of 500 feet, except when taking off and landing. A low ceiling makes flying above this altitude difficult. It is believed, however, that the training program will not be delayed.
Jayhawk Coach Accepts Apology
Dr. F. C. Allen yesterday said that he considered his verbal tiff with William "Bill" Gray, Chanute, a closed incident, in acknowledging the latter's letter of apology.
Allen further explained that if he had any public panning coming concerning any part he might be accused of having taken in subsidized athletes he would be ready to take it.
I acknowledge with gratitude your swell letter of December 13.
Doctor Allen's letter:
Dear Bill:
By ED GARICH
If there was any erroneous conclusions gathered from anything I have done regarding regarding Ralph Miller, I wanted to take full responsibility for it, and was willing to take a public panning for any athletic indiscretion that might have taken place.
I will admit that the statement attributed to you in the Kansas City Star shocked me severely. Without going any further I made the move that I felt was justified in making because I knew I had never subsidized a basketball player.
(continued to page eight)
Yes, Bill, I have known you for some time and that was a shocking thing to me. I assure you I accept your statement 100 per cent and so far as you and I are concerned I have forgotten the matter entirely. The next time I see you, you will realize it because I assure you that
This afternoon the School of Fine Arts will officially open the Christmas season when, at 4 o'clock, the annual Christmas vespers take the stage at Hoch auditorium.
The choir, soloists, instrumentalists, and tableaux casts, whetted their artistic talents to a fine edge last night in the final rehearsal, and the show promises to be great if one of the choir doesn't sing his eyebrows with the processional candle.

With a crowded Friday and Saturday night behind them, University students will sleep through church today to get up only for Sunday dinner. Thirteen parties, even though they're all to spend Christmas cheer, take energy.

Presents for Men Problem to Women
To correct the general opinion that a society page is run for women alone, an effort is being made to feature the men, bless them, and their wants for a merry Christmas.
Having taken a concensus on the subject from the women on the campus, the writer finds that what to buy brother, grandpa, pater and HIM for Christmas remains as complicated as the proverbial Gordian knot.
To spruce up an old suit, or to complement a new suit are muffiers and scarves, in solid colors or white, and in wool or silk. Blue-
Lots of men hate ties selected by someone else, but the same men will depend on the holiday haul to replenish their handkerchief supply for 1941. A reminder that plain white handkerchiefs are still tops naturally follows.
grey, yellow, bright red, and shades of brown are favorites that will add enough color to make any old overcoat look new. Some of the college men in the East have taken to wolen gloves, in colors loud enough to make their neighbor cringe at the sight. And there are still plaid socks!
If he smokes, the problem is simplified. A good pipe, if he indulges, will make him beam throughout vacation. Cigarettes, a lighter or case, or combination of both will do the same for the cigarette fiend. At any rate, the buyer can't go wrong.
Wallets, pigskin gloves, military brushes, and shaving sets are not original but are tried and true favorites, nevertheless. And if the problem is still unsolved, just forget him. He probably wouldn't have liked them anyway.

Scientists Hitch Wagon To Star of Sigma Xi
College students have their Phi Kappa and lawyers have their Order of the Coif, but the loderest at which many a scientist sights his academic efforts is membership in Sigma Xi, national scientific fraternity.
Founded at Cornell University in 1886, Sigma Xi now maintains 30 chapters in colleges and universities throughout the country, with membership of nearly 10,000.
The Cornell charter, which provided for students in science a society similar to that of Phi Beta Kappa in literature, took as its avowed purpose "the encouragement of original research in pure and applied science."
Membership in Sigma Xi is restricted to resident professors and instructors, graduates, and under graduates who show unusual promise. The number of under graduates elected during any one year may not exceed one-fifth of the senior class in the scientific and technical courses. Honorary membership is accorded scientists who have achieved important results in either pure or applied science.
Sigma Xi's badge is a gold watchchain pendant consisting of the monogram of the Greek letter Sigma, superimposed upon the Greek letter Xi. The name of the organization is taken from the first letters of the Greek words meaning, "Companions in Zealous Research."
At first, Sigma Xi was averse to extending its organization beyond the banks of Cayuga's waters and Cornell, but in 1887 chapters were established at Rensselaer and Union colleges.

Most Students From Farm, Survey Shows
If you are one of more than four thousand students enrolled at the University, chances are three to one your father is a farmer.
Of the 178 vocations listed as parental professions by the 4,400 students enrolled at the University, farming outranks any other occupation by more than three to one.
Five hundred sixty-two students list their parents as agriculturalists while the next largest number, 181, indicated their parental avocations as housewives. The medical profession contributes the third largest number of students to the population of Mt. Oread, 179 having listed one of their parents as a doctor.
One hundred seventy-one come from homes, the head of which is engaged in educational work.
The fathers of 156 are railway employees; salesmen sent 148 of their offspring to K.U. Other large groups represented are: managers, 138; merchants, 121; lawyers, 100; post office employees, 102; insurance representatives and executives, 92; bankers, 80; business executives, 76; and ministers, 73.
Professor Twente Makes Survey
the scientific world also can be proud that the chapter on Mount Oread was the fourth to be organized in the United States.
The Kansas (Iota) chapter was founded April 21, 1890, with Professors E. H. S. Bailey, L. L. Dyche, F. H. Snow, F. O. Marvin, E. Miller, and L. I Blake, heads of the University Science departments as charter members. Last spring Sigma Xi held a birthday banquet in the Memorial Union building with Phi Beta Kappa, counted 50 candles on its cake, more than 600 names on its chapter roll.
Civil Service Offers Jobs in Social Work
J. W. Twente, professor of education, is in Atchison making a survey of Mt. St. Scholastica Academy in connection with the cooperative study of secondary school standards.
Employment opportunities for qualified persons are being offered by the Kansas Joint Merit System council in professional public assistance positions with state and county departments of social welfare.
Principal requirements for these positions include graduation from a four-year college or university and experience in social work.

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Cutting a few thin slices out of a big sport's pie:
DR. FORREST C. ALLEN is definitely what one might call a "spot" coach—and a right smart one at that What we mean by spot coaching is using the right men at the right moment in a game against a team that is liable to be bothered most by a certain lineup. . . The good doctor is quite adept at these maneuvers. . . A good example may be found in his insertion of sophomore Marvin Sollenberger in the starting lineup in place of a more experienced man in last week's Texas series. . "Phog" knew that the Longhorn defense was based on post plays. . He also knew that Sollenberger was particularly good at guarding post men Hence the insertion, which "Solly" justified by a class of guarding, the lack of which, might well have turned Tuesday night's Jayhawker triumph in to a Jayhawker loss. . So when you see "Phog's" next starting lineup surprise or his constant jockeying with substitutions, begin looking for a cause and result, not an impatient complaint. . . Incidentally, Allen believes that football should do away with the rule prohibiting a substitute to talk to his teammates until after one play has been completed. . . "Basektball did away with this rule a few years ago," Dr. Allen said, "and it has greatly reduced the evil of sideline coaching and other forms of actual cheating."
WHEN THE football fan scans the names on the numerous past season all-star selections in vain for his favorite blocking back or defensive end and finally gives up in disgust with the opinion that there are more unsung heroes than all-stars on the gridiron, he should take a look at the annual all-star lists compiled each year by the Des Moines Register. . . Here is a yearly selection which should please even the most critical of fans. . . The roster is divided into 20 divisions, five for the backs, including best blocking back best plunging back, best running back, best defensive back, and best all-around back. The other positions are divided in much the same manner. . . Also included are best linebacker, best field general, best placekicker, best punter, best safety man, and best forward passer. Here is a unique but effective method of eliminating all-star selecting headaches. . . Nebraska's Huskers dominated this

A twenty minute scrimmage Friday night and a ten minute session yesterday morning featured the last two varsity practices. Howard Engleman, blond forward, continued to bomb the baskets as he did against Texas. "El Ropo" was especially torrid in yesterday morning's scrimmage.
Starting varsity five in that session consisted of Engleman and Charlie Walker, forwards; Bob Allen, center; John Kline and Bob Johnson, guards.

Buescher Looks Good
Opposing them was a team made up of Vance Hall and Dick Miller, forwards; John Buescher, center; Bill Hogben and Jim Arrfold, guards. Buescher's brilliant ball handling was a feature of this team's play.
Absent from the practice were Marvin Sollenberger, guard, and Norman Sanneman, forward, both of whom started against Texas. The two are students in the school of engineering and have Saturday classes. Sollenberger previously had been excused from practice due to a severe cold, which has been bothering him the last few days.
There will be a special meeting for all prospective members of the varsity swimming squad at five o'clock tomorrow evening in the swimming pool in Robinson Gymnasium. Coach Jim Raport said that it was imperative that all members be there to discuss the 1941 schedule and all other varsity plans.

Program For Grid Banquet Is Enlarged
---
Two added attractions to support the appearance of George "Potsy" Clark, head coach of the Detroit professional football Lions, and former Kansas mentor, have been added to Monday night's football banquet program, it was announced yesterday by Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary.
In addition to Clark's speech, Ellsworth said that selected shorts from films of many of the nation's major football games will be shown, and the K.U. Melodeers, a Negro quartet, will sing.
---
Clark, a former all-American quarterback at Illinois, served as head football coach at K.U. from 1921-1925.
The dinner, which is being sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, will honor the football teams of Kansas, Haskell, and Lawrence high school. It will be served in the Memorial Union building.
Tickets can be secured at the business office, the athletic office, the alumni office, the hostess' desk at the Memorial Union, or from Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor of education.
Trees Planted In Memory of Former Student
Another step toward beautification of the campus was taken yesterday with the planting near Potter's lake of 20 burr oak trees given by the Southwest Container association in memory of Paul Dinsmore, law student at the University in 1900, and employee of the Lawrence Paper co.
"This is one of the many improvements we hope to accomplish in the campus beautification project," said Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association.
"According to Irving Hill, chairman of the campus beautification committee, the burr oak tree is one of the best trees for this section and is a tree that will live more than 100 years if properly attended to," Elsworth added.
The class of 1915 also left a gift for campus beautification, but nothing definite has been decided upon.
The committee appointed some time ago by the Chancellor for landscaping the campus is made up of Irving Hill, Dr. Cora M. Downs of the bacteriology department, Mrs. John H. Nelson, and Donald Durrell, instructor in botany.

The Fashionable Mood
PATTER★
Professor of Speech and Dramatic Arts
by ALLEN CRAFTON
Professor of Speech and Dramatic Arts THE human race is subject to moods. A mood
At the present awful moment we are told by a posse of calamity scouts writing in our magazines and papers, speaking from our radios and platforms, and teaching in our classrooms, that disaster is just around the corner; that democracy is obsolete and decadent; that a form of pernicious anaemia has set in; that we're unbelievably soft; that we're morally bankrupt; and so on and so on. These crepe hangers tell us further that to be an optimist right now is to be, at the very least, a moron.
The present generation has an inelegan but expressive rejoinder to such statements of impending doom. It is, "Aw nuts!"
Of course, if one enjoys being a pessimist, he shouldn't be denied his dismal pleasure; but if he wants to be an optimist he has an abundance of human history, logic, common sense and other adult evidence on his side. For instance, it doesn't take very deep research to discover that the world has been in a bad way many times before and has recovered from its illnesses. Here in America, immediately after a devastating war and in the midst of world conditions which were certainly as terrifying as our own, our ancestors established a nation, and a darned good one; and we are a pretty sorry offspring if we sicken and sour over the present crisis. We can recognize that "hell hath no fury like that of a non-combatant of the Dorothy Thompson type," and look elsewhere for a more true perspective. We can ask, "Isn't it unfair to ascribe to our opponents meaner motives than our own? And if we do, isn't the only result the lowering of our own moral currency?" We can remind ourselves that age is not necessarily another name for wisdom. We can remember that the mood of pessimism has been traditional with man for a few million years while optimism concerning himself and his future is only a newcomer, a few thousand years old; yet optimism with its attendant companions of faith and courage, has staged a number of the most important victories in the heart of man during its comparatively brief existence. Finally, we can honestly doubt the wisdom and motive of all our "betters" who would deny us faith and courage.
The fashion of pessimism hits us periodically. Every few decades we are told that we are doddering down the brimstone path of chaos, and we believe what we are told, and we begin repeating it. This continues until something or somebody invents another popular mood.
BOOKS★
The only excuse for an intelligent person remaining pessimistic today is that he is afraid to be unfashionable.—A.C.
God knows, we make a hundred contacts with our fellowmen each day which give us sufficient evidence for continued faith in mankind; and God also knows that neither the possibility for courage has been denied us nor its justification taken from us.
Look Ahead
The University's part in the $9,000,000 educational phase of the national defense program was assured recently when the United States Bureau of Education approved a list of defense training courses recommended by the School of Engineering. This nation-wide educational program is to train men of draft age for spec-
LETTERS
italized engineering tasks, so that defense industries will not lag because of a lack of men with technical knowledge.
For men not now attending any University, the training courses will present an opportunity for a technical education at a small cost. A four month course will practically assure a man of placement in one of the expanding national defense industries
The University man should not look to the defense training courses as an easy method of getting a good job. If University men took the courses they probably would procure jobs quickly; however, when the national defense program has been completed many of those men who were rushed into industry as stopgaps will be thrown out of work. An engineer will have a far greater opportunity of being absorbed into normal peacetime industry, if he has a record which includes a well-rounded engineering education with technical information in a variety of fields.

When you pay your fees each semester you notice stamped on your registration card the words: "Health fee—$5.00". Being a normally healthy person you shrug your shoulders, pay it without comment, and forget all about it. At the time you possibly do not realize that that money is going to bring you more actual value than any fiver you have $

That one five-dollar bill entitles you to any ordinary drugs, treatments and consultations. The staff, including five physicians, an interne, two laboratory technicians, a pharmacist, two dieticians, a statistician and secretary are at your service at any time you may need them. At least one doctor is available for emergency calls to students 24 hours of the day.
The scope of the hospital extends for beyond the treatment of ordinary illness. According to a survey made by the American Youth Commission of the National Educational council the mortality rate in the college student age group is 10 per cent less than for that age group in the general public.
The students is encouraged to use dispensary services and to undergo vaccinations and physical examinations.
Other groups examined throughout the year include the football and basketball teams, physical education majors, students enrolled in ROTC, members of the faculty and employees end sianors, who boost the number of examination performed in a year to 1,500.
Seniors are particularly encouraged to undergo vaccination before leaving the campus. This year all members of the faculty and employees were given the tuberculin test.
Watkins Memorial Hospital, situated at the east end of the campus overlooking the Wakarusa valley, was built by the late Mrs. Elizabeth M. Watkins in memory of her husband, Jabez B. Watkins, and is one of the few fully equipped hospitals given as a gift to a school, built solely for the use of students.
Spooner-Thayer Features Rare Japanese Stencils
An exhibit of Chinese and Japanese prints has been placed in the Oriental, or north gallery of Spooner-Thayer museum. In addition to the museum prints which were exhibited several years ago, Mrs. E. H. Lindley lent three prints which she collected on her recent trip abroad.
Rare Japanese stencils, estimated to be about 150 years old, are being exhibited in the music room of the museum. These stencils were used for applying a design to fine papers and silk. The stencils were cut with a knife from thick paper which had been pasted on a board. The designs were held in place with human hair nets.

Inside, Ruth decided the College office must have sent the summons. When class was over, she set out for the office, but was intercepted by Grinrod just before she stepped inside.

Serves Students For 50 Years
Bv DORIS BROWN
For half a century, George R. King has been serving the students of the University of Kansas as storekeeper of the chemistry department. He cannot estimate the number of students hat he has served.
King is proud of he system he employs in dispensing chemicals and apparatus to students. A few moments spent behind his store-room window in a stronghold of beakers and test tubes, with its ceilings-high shelves neatly partitioned and labeled, its array of chemicals, and its systematic record files, convinces one that King has succeeded in his ambition to handle each day's rush of lab students, give them what they want, and not keep them waiting.
Proud of System
"We're chesty on our system" he chuckles.
He recognizes faces that pass his window though they may be only a reflection of fathers who have passed the same window. To serve a third generation of the same family is one of his ambitions.
"It's a pleasure to serve them,' he says.
He has two hobbies: playing the solo clarinet for the Asbury Methodist Episcopal church; and glass-blowing. Every year his glass-blowing demonstration is a feature of the department's commencement activities. King reveals skill and dexterity in the blowing of his fragile glass birds. They become prized souvenirs of his visitors or favorite "customers."
In addition to these hobbies, he likes to study personalities and trends in students. He says from his observations that students have not changed much in the past 50 years."They may be a little younger and their dress, especially that of the girls, is much more free and simple."
Remembers Amusing Incidents
King smiles over a stock of pleasurable incidents. He tells of the bright Japanese student who got some acid in his eyes. The student had been instructed to wash them out with water. To be certain that all acid was removed from his eyes, he tested the last wash with litmus paper! Nor has he forgotten the womenudent, now a professor's wife, who wanted antimony, but said instead, "Will you please give me some alimony?"
King has served under three chemistry department heads, Drs. E. H. S. Bailey, H. P. Cady, and R. Q. Brewster.
Doctor Bailey first employed King in 1890, when the latter was working on the farm of Joseph Savage in Lawrence. Savage's outstanding mineral collection drew many University visitors to the farm, where Doctor Bailey discovered King and took him into the chemistry department as lecture room assistant. When the new chemistry department was completed in 1800, he became storekeeper.
He has some hours of credit in the University, though not enough to graduate. His 50 years of cheerful and unfailing service, make him University tradition. In all these years he has missed but three days' work from illness.
Drop around some day to the lit-
the chemistry storeroom and enjoy a scene in the drama of George R. King's life, as he is waiting for the rush of students with the service and smile that he really enjoys giving.
Dr. Wilson to Address Two Presbyterian Groups
Dr. J. Christy Wilson, '26, chairman of the Near East Christian council, will speak this morning at the 11 o'clock services at the First Presbyterian church. He will also speak at the Westminster forum at 7:30 p.m. in Westminster hall. Doctor Wilson has traveled widely through the Near East. While a student at the University, Doctor Wilson was a member of the varsity debate team and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary fraternity.
Alumni To Give Loffer Recording of His Song
Jack Laffer, an alumnus of the University and now an announcer for KFHL of Wichita, will be presented a recording of the "Spirit of Kansas" as a Christmas gift from the Alumni association. Laffer composed the number while attending the University. The University band and KFKU are cooperating in the making of this recording.

Thirteenth Unlucky For Senior
Friday the thirteenth lived up to its record of being an unlucky day when it dawned on the K.U. campus.
Preston Burtis, Business School senior, tried to prove that it was just another day when he sent 13 shirts, 13 pairs of shorts, and 13 pairs of socks to the laundry Friday morning.
But as he drove from the Beta house to ascend the Hill, fate overtook him. Another car slid into his, leaving a dented fender.

Politicians Quiet On Redistricting
That deathly political silence which has settled over Mount Oread in the last few days is just the "calm before the storm," if we can believe the barometer.
Since the Pachacamac petition as presented in Men's Student Council meeting last Thursday night for redistricting, both parties have been silent in re- good to this problem
May Meet Before Christmas
May Meet Before Christmas
Bill Farmer, president of the M.S.C., said today that he hopes to assemble the student committee consisting of Dick Oliver, college junior, and Chuck Elliott, college sophomore, from Pachacamae and Russell Mosser, graduate, and Farmer from P.S.G.L. before the Christmas holidays.
The first move of this group will be the selection of three faculty advisers. The combined committee of seven then will consider the desirability of change and the practicability of various redistricting plans.
19 In Present Council
The present council consists of 19 members, a president, a representative-at-large, and two freshman representatives. An addition of two members was made two years ago when the representation of district three and that of district two, consisting of the School of Pharmacy, the School of Fine Arts, the School of Business, and the School of Education, was raised from three to four in each case. District I, which is comprised of the School of Law, School of Medicine, and the Graduate School has three representatives. District III is that of the School of Engineering, and district IV, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is represented by eight members on the council.
The committee on redistricting will be able to enlarge the present council without an amendment to the men's constitution. The constitution at present provides that the council shall have no more than 19 nor less than 15 regular members.
To Make Movie Of Dorms
"Lights! Action! Camera!" will soon be reverberating through the halls of Battenfeld, Carruth, and Templin when final plans for filming the activities of the men in the resident dormitories have been completed.
The "doings in the dorms" which have appeared in print and in pictures will be recorded on film under the supervision of the Endowment Association, Lyle C. Armel, assistant secretary of the Association announced today.
The 16mm. film will be taken by Art Wolf in cooperation with the bureau of visual instruction and under the direction of Mr. Armei.

War Summary
Hitler Releases Laval; British Pierce Libya
By Joe Alex Morris United Press Foreign News Editor
Adolph Hitler, acting through his agent, Otto Abetz, today moved forcefully into the dramatic—but still obscure—French situation.
His first achievement was the release from confinement of Pierre Laval, ousted French vice-premier and leading exponent of Franco-German "collaboration", possibly even to the extent of a French declaration of war on Great Britain.
Laval's release was accompanied by a revealing Nazi statement in Berlin which expressed "extraordinary interest" in Laval's dismissal and a determination to "examine the motives" behind the weekend drama in which he was succeeded as foreign minister by Pierre Etienne Flandin.

As the drama of state moved forward in France, the British imperial force in Africa drove deeper into Libya and were reported by London to be threatening to occupy Sardia, the first important Italian base across the frontier from Egypt.
Sollum on the Egyptian side of the border was occupied, as was Fort Capuzzo, a desert outpost just inside Italian territory. Fresh British troops were reported to have been brought up to keep the desert blitzkrieg at whirlwind tempo. Eight On In Lihua

Waring To Replay K.U. Song
NBC
"The crimson prairie sunset, And the Kansas sky of blue Emblazon in all their glory The banner of old K.U."
Those lyrics, written by Fred Waring and his staff and dedicated to the University, will be heard once again over the air waves. The song's second appearance is scheduled for Waring's College Song Smoker broadcast, Friday, Dec. 20.
"The Banner of Old K.U." was written in answer to a petition circulated among the student body of the University and was introduced on the Pennsylvanians College Smoker May 3, 1940.
Complimentry copies of this song were given to students at the time of its presentation. Additional copies may still be obtained, printed in school colors and with the official seal.
Treat Music Lovers Tomorrow Variety In Band Program
Music lovers both young and old will find themselves sitting back with ears of attention and appreciation Wednesday evening when the University band, directed by Russell L. Wiley, displays its talent at the winter concert in Hoch auditorium.
For those who like to swing, the band has plenty to put out that will find jitterbaggers squirming in their seats to the beat of the drums. Bill Ward, fine arts senior, has cooked up a clever arrangement of "The Banner of Old K.U." written by Fred Waring, and broadcast on the networks last swing. It is to be played and su g., using 50 brass pieces and a c-orus of 100 voices,
made up of the band personnel. Saxtet To Play
"I'll Never Smile Again," at present one of the country's most popular hits, will be presented by the "K.U. Saxtet," in an arrangement by Joe McAnarney, education senior.
collection of music that truly elevates his colored race.
'New Moon'a Feature
The third part of the concert opens with the light operatic work of Sigmund Romberg, entitled "New Moon," and is followed by the "Four Ways Suite" of Eric Coates.
For those who prefer the operatic atmosphere, Wiley has chosen a parade of melodies that would be tops in any repertoire. The program opens with the Overture to "Die Meistersinger," one of Richard Wagner's greatest operas.
See page 7 for program—
Another highlight of the program is the "Othello Suite" by Coleridge Taylor. Taylor, although he lived only 37 years, left to the world a
The closing number is another of Wagner's works—"Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral," from the famous work, Lohegrin. The theme centers around the bridal procession of Elsa to the cathedral. Each step adds another instrument until, as she reaches the top, the band blooms forth with tremendous volume to bring out the jubilant climax.
Modest and carefully planned is the description of the biennial report released today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott to the Governor and the Board of Regents.
Budget requests for 1941-43 do not effect a proposed expansion program, it was said, but represent a planned attempt to reverse disastrous trends of depression years.
A sum of $396,500 is requested for a Mineral Resources building. Such a building would centralize the departments of the University most active in development of the mineral resources of the state—the State Geological Survey, State Petroleum Experiment Station, and the departments of geology, chemical engineering, mining and metallurgical engineering and petroleum engineering. It would provide for Kansas an important center of industrial research and experimentation to serve the state in critical years.
These departments, it is pointed out, are operating now under handicaps of overcrowding and separation in sheds and in basements scooped out under three different buildings. Space and equipment are at present not available for effective work in industries vital to the state. The mineral industries council in session in Topeka last week endorsed the building project at the University as being of vital importance to the future industrial status of the state.
The budget request is $776,000 for salaries and wages, and $290,000 for maintenance and repairs. The salary item represents an increase of approximately 9 per cent to care for all salary increases and necessary additions for the biennium, and is still $43,000 below the appropriation of a decade ago. The item for maintenance and repairs is about $30,-000 less than the annual appropriation in 1930, since which time six buildings have been given to the University.
An increase of $40,000 each year of the biennium is requested to provide for additional personnel and maintenance to handle the new (continued to page eight)

Two Will Study Plans For Union
Preliminary steps which may lead to the construction of a new wing on the Memorial Union building will be taken Friday when Henry Werner, men's student adviser, and Bill Farmer, M. S.C. president, go to Kansas City to study tentative architect's plans.
Present plans would call for construction of a north wing on the building, built as a memorial to University students killed in the World War.
Of two contesting groups, one was in favor of a monument or tower, the other of putting the money into something which might be more useful. The latter group won out and the question developed of whether a stadium or a student union building was most needed.
During this time Dr. Forrest C. Allen was made athletic director and he had the definite idea of building a stadium to be dedicated to Tommy Johnson, Kansas' greatest athlete, who received an injury during the football season of 1910 and died a year later.
Allen began working toward getting a stadium and had plans drawn up for the structure. Students insisted on a union building, so the two groups compromised and decided to have both. The plan was to raise one million dollars, half to go toward the building of each.
Pledges of $695,391 from 11,800 persons were gotten, but only 9,000 actually paid their pledge. Approximately $625,000 was gotten from the payment of these pledges.
The stadium was given $288,000 and the union received $210,000—the other $127,000 going for administrative costs.
Watson To Stay Open During Holidays

During the holidays the library will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Christmas, New Year's Day, and Sundays.
Biologists Play At Christmas Party
Dancing, dining, stunts and plays highlighted the Pan-Bio Christmas party held Friday night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Members from the various clubs displayed their acting talent in a play called "A Day in Snow Hall."
The zoology club gave an imitation of a zoology class under Prof. H. H. Lane, while the Botany club presented an imitation of a botany class under Prof. A. J. Mix. The Entomology club pantomimed an imitation of a PhD. examination and the Bacteriology club imitated a class under Dr. N. P. Sherwood, professor of bacteriology.
The members were then served sandwiches, hot chocolate and cookies. The last hour was spent in dancing.
Students To Write On Foreign Policy
Tackling a problem which has stumped some of the best minds in the world, Byron Yost, graduate, Carter Butler, college senior, and Jim Surface, college junior, under the guidance of H. B. Chubb, professor of political science, will represent the University of Kansas in an essay contest on American Foreign policy.
This contest, sponsored by the College of William and Mary in Virginia, requires that each competing essay be written by a committee of three students under faculty supervision.
The title of the essay will be "The Next Decade of American Foreign Policy." Three national prizes of $450 each and nine regional prizes of $300 each will be awarded "by men of national reputation in the field."

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Known well only to University intramural higher-ups, yet a guiding hand to hundreds of intramural athletes. That is the daily story of Dr. Ed Elbel, associate professor of physical education and czar of the Hill's masculine athletic strife.
Also included in his daily dish are endless complaints, postponement-appeals ineligibility charges, and other intramural tangles on which he, and he alone, must hand down the final decision. Few are the thank-yous for Elbel, few are the words of sincere appreciation. Yet he continues to do well one of the most difficult of all University extra-curricular jobs. Yes, even after 13 years of listening to the petty banterings along with the really important questions born of the red-hot civil war among fraternities and independent groups.
Ed Elbel came to Kansas in 1928 as a teacher in physical education and as head of the intramural program. He was graduated from Springfield College, Springfield, Mass., in 1920, from where he served two years as physical director of the Tulsa Y.M.C.A. In 1922 Elbel moved to Ottawa University where he completed six years as athletic director, and at times coach of football, basketball, and track. He secured his B.S. degree at Kansas, his master's at Springfield in 1927, and his Ph.D. from Iowa in 1938.
Mainly through Elbel's efforts the intramural program has been expanded greatly during the last few years. Touch football was substituted for fall softball six years ago. Added to the roster have been 6-man touch football, volleyball, "B" and "C" team basketball, and team competition in minor sports handball (abandoned three years ago for want of space), horseshoes, and tennis. Kansas is believed to be the only school which includes six-man touch football on its intramural program.
This program could be even more expansive, Dr. Elibel tells us, if it were not for the clamoring numbers of players and teams that perennially wish to compete.
"The theory of participation for all is fine," said Elbel, "but it seldom works out that way anywhere because of the usually limited facilities at almost any University."
Elbel's actual work consists of drawing up vast brackets for individual play, divisions for play in team sports, supervising and sometimes even instructing a largely volunteer officiating corps, settling rule or judgment disputes, disciplining wilfully erring athletes, arranging intricate play-off bracket drawing schemes, and organizing an intramural committee to aid in the detail.
The doctor modestly gives credit for this growth and its efficient handling to the work of the intramural committee, the cooperation of the various intramural house managers, and to the players themselves.
Even with this burden, which is actually a secondary affair to his teaching post, it can be truthfully said that Elbel is an active head. He is a likely bystander at all im-

By CLINT KANAGA
One of the best games of the present intramural basketball season will be the Tau Kappa Epsilon-Delta Chi battle at 6:00 p.m. Both teams have won their opening games and are of championship caliber.
The Teke lineup is full of football stars, namely Hubert Ulrich, Jake Fry, and Ed Lindquist with Dalrymple and Dunn completing the starting five. Ulrich is the stand-out Teke. Delta Chi boasts its share of gridiron stars with Ed Hall, Chuck Wenstrand, and James Zimmerman leading the attack. Burton and McCarty round out the Delta Chi five. Hall and Wenstrand are the Chi stars.
In last night's cage contests, Sigma Alpha Epsilon downed Phi Delta Theta 24-17, with Ziegelmeyer, Sig Alph, leading the scoring; Ferry and Sanneman paced Newman Club II to a victory over Dunakin I 23 to 15; and Theta Tau fell before Battenfeld hall 32 to 23. Lowen led Battenfeld with four goals and four free throws while Domingo, Theta Tau, gathered nine points to spark his teammates.
Sig Alph "B" achieved its third consecutive win of the year, defeating Sigma Nu "B" 31 to 10. B. Ewers and Howard starred for the Sig Alph five. Teke "C", led by Fankhauser, won from Phi Psi "D" 22-10.

Clark Fills Bill At Grid Banquet
Ex-Coach Gives Commandments To 500 Persons
Featuring his talk on a group of self-devised football commandments, equally applicable to the business man or athlete, George "Potsy" Clark, former coach of the Detroit Lions and Brooklyn Dodgers, filled admirably his task as the evening's main speaker at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce's grid banquet in the Memorial Union last night.
The dinner was staged in honor of 125 gridders from Haskell Institute, Lawrence high school, and the University of Kansas. Approximately 500 persons attended the affair.
"I set up these commandments for my football players long ago," Clark said, "but they can and should be applied to every person here tonight." Nine Commandments
Clark's commandments were as follows: 1. Desire to play the game. 2. Physical appearance that shows training the year round. 3. Neatness in dress. 4. Hustle. 5. Knowledge of the rules. 6. Willingness to train. 7. Speaking well of opponents on and off the field. 8. Following the code of ethics. 9. Neat dress, be well groomed.
Clark particularly developed the commandments of willingness to
train and non-infringement of the code of ethics.
"In order to excel in anything," he said, "one must go to extremes. The individual must practice even after he thinks he has mastered fundamentals." Clark pointed out Willie Hoppe, for 30 years a billard champion, continues to put in hours of practice even today.
As to ethics Clark said, "None of my professional players smoke or drink in public.
No man who is setting an example for boys should ever smoke or drink in public. One really shouldn't drink anyway until they're 65 years of age," Clark jokingly concluded.
the former Jayhawker football tutor, who was at the University grid helm from 1921-1925 gave the graduating college seniors two pieces of advice.
"You are merely starting the old grind all over again. If you still have the guts yu uwill succeed." College Degree Most Important
"You should realize that getting a degree is the most important thing in college. Without it you can rarely get a decent job. I know because I have tried to do it for some of my pro boys." Clark declared.
"The trouble with too many of us is that we follow the easy path all too often. It takes guts to get a degree as well as play football.
The second thing college men should do, particularly those who have a hard time with books is to learn to do something with your hands. You can't realize how much this will increase your chances for a job." Clark continued.
touching on the Kansas football situation Clark said, "I don't believe there's anything the matter with
Kansas football. What we've got to do is get our heads together and generate a little do or die spirit. It isn't always the coach or the material that is at fault when a team fails. It is usually not enough spirit." Football large Mental Attitude
"Seventy-five percent of football is mental attitude," Clark continued, "General Pershing said in the last war that what made America great was her spirit. Spirit can also win football games."
Clark was introduced by Adrian Lindsey, another former University head football man, who played with Clark on the A.E.F. champions in France during the first World War.
Allen Crafton, University professor, acted as master of ceremonies, introducing Elmer Schaake, Clarence Powles, and Gwinn Henry, head coaches at Lawrence high school, Haskell, and the University, respectively, all of whom spoke briefly.
The program was concluded with a 20-minute film of selected shorts of major football battles of the year. A sport's quiz and five song numbers by the Melodeers, Negro quartet, were other features.

In short this intramural Judge Landis has been turning in one of the neatest departmental jobs in the entire University and has been receiving little credit for it. It is time someone knew. It is time someone appreciated. "AS WE SEE IT" dofs its hat to a swell guy and a job well done.

The Kansan Comments-mer, five members were found to be returning to jobs at Picatinny Arsenal; 12 to positions in the national guard; three to Hercules Powder plant in Kenvil; and three to jobs as engineers in New Jersey's biggest power plant. Two months later the Kenvil plant blew up and 52 were killed. The same week a blast at the Picatinny Arsenal killed two more. The F.B.I. is still investigating.
EDITORIALS★
BOOKS★
Until the President delegates more responsibility and power to act, our defense preparations will probably continue to lag. Some business men advocate an independent civilian commission on the order of the old War Industries Board. This plan or another similar should be adopted, and quickly.
President Roosevelt has consistently refused to release powers which, if given to another, would allow rapid organization and progress in our defense program. The President has so far steadfastly retained his policy of keeping control of key positions. One man can not do the whole job.
Why Our Defense Lags
THE current Congress appropriated more than ten billion dollars to build defense for the United States. Some 130 million citizens of this nation thereupon returned to a more settled peace of mind. Uncle Sam was preparing to gird for the battle, should it come.
'Honorable Diplomacy'
THE State Department, clinging to the old "honorable diplomacy" tradition, is making it possible for Hitler to wage an undeclared war on the United States.
Under this old tradition, diplomats enjoy many privileges. Their baggage and mail is exempt from inspection. They may not even be tried for murder, and their houses may not be seached. In return, diplomats have traditionally behaved with good record.
Under a special treaty with Germany, one of the most generous in the State Department's library, Hitler has a particular advantage. Most of the Nazi officials here enjoy privileges equal to those of ambassadors. Diplomatic immunity is extended to families of the Embassy staffs and to all consular subordinates.
During the last week that complacency has been rudely upset. Those same 130 million picked up their newspapers to read statements by prominent business men that the defense progress of the nation was shockingly slow. Airplane production is falling short, by thousands, of the goal President Roosevelt set several months ago. Main reasons for the slack in production are no location of authority to make decisions and to act, and the lack of definite lines of responsibility.
The most successful spies have been those within the ranks of the American government and those employed in munitions plants. Dr. Ignatz Griebl, founder of the Bund, was at one time a lieutenant in the U.S. Army reserve. When the license plates were checked at the Bund camp in Andover, New Jersey, this summer, five members were found to be returning to jobs at Picatinny Arsenal; 12 to positions in the national guard; three to Hercules Powder plant in Kenvil; and three to jobs as engineers in New Jersey's biggest power plant. Two months later the Kenvil plant blew up and 52 were killed. The same week a blast at the Picatinny Arsenal killed two more. The F.B.I. is still investigating.
Nazi representation has been trebled here in the past three years—supposedly "aiding their nationals in traveling and business." What are these diplomats doing? They are the heads of the various organizations that distribute literature, operate the Bund, and publish seditious newspapers.
The Bund is an organization of spies, saboteurs, and cash contributors for the Nazi government. Their membership numbers 40,000 American citizens who renew their oath to Hitler each year on April 20, Hitler's birthday. There have been many investigations, but the Bund has apparently succeeded in delivering to Germany the plans of America's newest destroyers, a coding machine just purchased by the Navy, and the blueprints of 12 new airplanes.
LETTERS★
Coordination among the spy rings is made easier by officials who can work without hindrances from the American government. They are given free rein by our "honorable diplomacy." One Bund chief recently boasted: "America is the easiest country Hitler has tackled yet. We will never have to outfight the Americans; we have outsmarted them already."

NOTICES★
Potter Lake Once Fought Hazards, Now Is One
Twenty-eight years have transformed Potter lake from a practical fire-fighting puddle into one of the beauty spots of the campus.
In 1912, when the University of Kansas was a mere stripping of 47 years, Thomas H. Potter of the Board of Regents conceived a brilliant idea for University fire protection. Why not dam a natural hollow in the rolling hills northwest of the campus, collect the drainage from the surrounding slopes, and pipe it up to the campus? There would be $ ^{4} $
His suggestion was accepted and the next year, after spring rains, a rocky little pond appeared on the campus.
Several years later, when the city took over the municipal water plant and equipped it so it could supply sufficient pressure to the University, the board of health ordered that the Potter pipe line be dismantled to prevent contamination of the water supply by the unpurified lake water.
The pond was already being used for other purposes. Swimming by college students was allowed, although the University assumed no responsibility for accidents. Rules issued to the summer students of 1919 prohibited "rowdyism, swearing, obscene talk, or ducking" in the lake. All bathers were warned to
wear neat, dark-colored and proper clothing. A guard was on hand every afternoon to give assistance whenever necessary, but it was stressed that "simulation of distress" would be regarded as a breach of rules.
By 1933, swimming was prohibited, but another exciting sport was centered about Potter lake—a model sailboat racing. That year, in an exciting five-lap race, "Dark Horse" beat "The Spirit of Switzerland" by a hair's breadth. The lucky owner was presented an imposing celluoid and glass trophy, showing cupid toe-dnicing on a bottle cork and inscribed with "Blair Trophy, Oct. 15, 1933."
Today, Potter lake has no practical use to many persons. Some still find it valuable, but mostly as scenic background. In the winter it serves as a skating rink, in summer as a hazard for the local golf links.
ROCK CHALK TALK
Sunday night the freshman lawyers diner at Dean F. J. Moreau's, vied with each other in practicing courtesy and the best tactics of "How to Win Deans and Influence Grades."
Among those present was the dean's eight months old son. Eager to please, the big, brainy lawyers gooed and gurgled over him as over an all female jury. But the pay-off came when one playful student started tossing the baby up in the air and catching him with fatherly tenderness.
Since then the law barn has been to him a dungeon of persecution.
Hal Ruppenthal describes infra-red film as film that will take a picture of a connected electric iron in a room that is absolutely dark. It shows a red glow."
Next step in the routine: he says, "I want to show you a picture of my girl, Dottie Mallett."
Then he pulls out a picture showing demure Dottie with a glowing (infra-red) halo above her head.
Incidentally, rival photographer Ed Garich says if Ruppenthal can do that, he will take an infra-red picture of W. C. Fields' nose.

A Pi K.A. was flabbergasted this noon when he read a letter from his Wichita girl friend. Last week he wrote her, saying, "I hope I make enough money this month to buy that pin." He meant a fraternity pin for himself.
The return letter cooed, "I certainly hope you can get that pin. But I don't know what my folks will say when I tell them. Have you told your parents yet?"
A great cookery discovery was made at Battenfeld hall the other day when a he-man cook wanted flavoring for the gravy, picked up vanilla by mistake. Result—the boys ate vanilla gravy on their mashed potatoes and liked it. Now they are requesting that the mistake be repeated.
Among yesterday's sliders were the Phi Psis, Sigma Nus, Chi Omegas. With many more to follow. Who ever mentions Florida at this point is a heel.
From the beginning of Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity's, serenade last night, lassies knew they were being entertained by experts. That 'Stille Night, Helige Nacht' might have touched even Adolph H.
Vespers, Christmas shopping (seven more days), parties, Christmas programs—everybody should get five hours credit for Christmas.

Weather Keeps Attendance Of Christmas Vespers Low
By ED GARICH
BY ED GARCH
Foul weather conquered a fair now Sunday, and as a result, the school of Fine Arts has 3,000 extra Christmas vespers programs which they'll be glad to sell for a song.
The difference between Sunday's audience and the one attending the usual affair, is indicated by a contribution of $138 to the scholarship fund for musically rich but financially poor students, as compared to $291 last year.
Musically, the program was on a retty high level, with the evening performance taking the honors for eing the best of the two shows. Outstanding number were the wet, "O Lovely Peace" from "Jusas Maccabeus" (Handel), by Joseph and Marie Wilkins and two works by the A Cappella choir, *Porn Today* (Sweelinck) and *Sleep, Holy Babe* (Ganschow), which featured the voice of Minerva Davis, contralto. Miss Davis stole the show from under the pros with her beautiful work in this number. The orchestra's playing of "Beth-chem" (Tuthill) was passable with the solo oboe work of Bob Forman ordering on what we'd call peachy. The monotony-breaking tableaux were well worked out though Kansas Christmas in "66" varied in the Bible scenes of Christmas and seemed slightly out of The "Bare Hills of Bethlehem" (Trivitating in the Vale
a the Bible scenes of Christmas and seemed slightly out of . The "Bare Hills of Bethle- and the "Bringing in the Yule were oke.

Indoor practice yesterday was limited to light running, passing and contact with blocking dummies.
Halfback Herman Rohrig, the Huckers' ace kicker and passer, was unable to practice because of a cold, but he is expected to be in shape to leave with the team Thursday.

Chancellor Malott, in his report, pointed out that the University at Lawrence had had no new building since 1930, and that Snow hall, which was completed at that time was a replacement.

Air Students Become Instructors In 35 Hours
That was the major requirement demanded of five University students who took the student apprentice instructor course at the Lawrence airport under the supervision of the C.A.A.
From student to instructor in 35 hours!
It wasn't easy, and the 35 hours of solo flying was a definite requisite. These hours were gained in the secondary class flight training during the summer, and the students selected are Stanley Cygiel, Otto Kiehl, Frew Lawson, William Stone, and Helen Hay.
The five will begin their parttime teaching this week, and five more students will be selected Feb. 1 from the present unit taking the secondary flight work.
This apprentice instructorship is exactly like practice teaching at
more than 600 students and several new departments have been added to the University.
Oread High School, Prof. Hay said.
The only difference, Hay said, is that ground school and flying lessons will be given instead of assignments in arithmetic and geography.

Kansas Clay, Mill Tax Into Building Scene
Soil Blocks For New Lab
Bv CHUCK ELLIOTT
By CHUCK ELLISOT Clay, silt, and sand—stabilized with a small quantity of portland cement—will form the chief building material of a small laboratory to be constructed, starting shortly after the first of the year, behind Marvin hall, which will be utilized for engineering research.
The laboratory will be constructed of stabilized earth building blocks from a formula developed by W. C. McNown, professor of civil engineering. The labor will be supplied through the National Youth Administration. The structure will house a number of engineering experiment projects.
The formula for processing the stabilized earth building blocks has been developed as the result of twoears research by Professor Mcown. The chief problem has been to discover a suitable soil, and the correct percentage of stabilizer,ich in this instance has been present. The ideal soil, Mr. Mcen points out, consists of approximately one-sixth clay, one-sixth salt, and two-thirds sand. Such a oil is available near Lawrence and will be used in constructing the laboratory.
ot First Building
While the idea of stabilized earth for construction purposes is by no means new, McNown indicated, this is believed to be the first building project in the Middlewest where stabilized earth, meeting the specifications of the American Society for Testing Materials, has been used.
Stabilized earth first was used experimentally for low cost road construction in 'North Carolina five years ago, and last year several hundred miles of such roads were built in the United States.
The present project was started two years ago through collaboration with the United States Indian Service. James A. Davis, vocational instructor at Haskell Institute, was working on stabilized earth building blocks, using emulsified asphalt as a binder. Davis had built a hydraulic press for making such blocks and came to Professor McNown for a stabilization formula other than the asphalt. Wide experimentation resulted in the current McNown formula.
Either Hand or Press
After the correct proportion of ingredients is determined, including the correct amount of water to give the greatest density, the blocks are made either by hand ramming in forms or through the use of a press. The blocks for the research laboratory will be made by hand.
Relative cost of construction materials, according to Mr. McNown, for materials along is about three (continued on page eight)

Yule Owl Hits Stands Tomorrow
Yule's fool, the December issue of the Sour Owl, will be on sale tomorrow morning, Reginald Buxton, editor of the magazine, announced this afternoon.
"The Owl has everything this time," Buxton said, "cute gifts for certain members of the administration; pictures of lovely women; newsy little items that will make the Hill populace roar with laughter—or anger; jokes and quips of sundry hues; satire that will leave a burning impression on certain persons; a love-graph edited by Glee Smith and June Harkrader that will give the temperature of the love-birds; and last of all, gossip that will probably make me more of a social outcast than ever—if that's possible."
According to Buxton, Eddie (continued to page eight)
Malott Tells Of Levy Plan
Bv BOB TRUMP
Funds for a new building or a substantial addition every three or four years may come to the University if the state legislature, which convenes in Topeka on Jan. 14, acts favorably on a fraction mill tax proposal recently endorsed by the Board of Regents.
The measure would levy a tax of one-fourth of a mill for the purpose of providing funds or a modest long-term building program or the five state institutions of higher learning.
Other schools besides the University which would benefit from the proposal are Kansas State College at Manhattan, Kansas State Teachers' College at Emporia, Kansas State Teachers' College at Pittsburg, and Fort Hays College.
Five-Sixteenth To K.U.
The tax proposed is one-fourth of a mill on all property in the state subject to taxation. Under the terms of the bill, the first levy would be made in 1941. The University would receive five-sixteenths of the amount realized from the tax.
Kansas State college also would be given five-sixteenths of the tax money collected, while each of the three teachers' colleges would take one-eighth of the total amount.
According to the provisions of the bill, the Board of Regents would plan a 10-year building program for each of the institutions. The regents would be assisted by the state architect in the preparation of such a program.
Because the bill deals with appropriations, it probably will be sent on its legislative career through the Ways and Means committee of the senate when that body convenes in January. However, since the members of the Ways and Means committee have not been appointed yet, the exact date for discussion of the bill is problematical.
Concerning the measure, Chancel- (continued to page eight)

Students have taken the challenge and by 11 o'clock this morning they had thrown 400 pennies in the net and 100 in the bucket. An average of .200 is low in any league—but students don't seem to mind since they pitch for a worthy cause.

Plug Personalities In New Speech Setup
From the opening overture to "Die Meistersinger" to the closing number entitled "Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral," the University of Kansas band, under the direction of Russell L. Wiley, will fill the halls of Hoch auditorium tonight with melodic
The new program follows the trend of the English proficiency examinations inaugurated recently which require every student to pass such an examination before graduation from the University. Proficiency in everyday speech will be the keynote of the new program.
Approval on a revision of the curriculum in the department of speech and dramatic art was made by the College faculty at its meeting yesterday whereby a master's degree in speech may be obtained. The new revision calls for an emphasis on speech as a factor in personality development rather than as a vehicle for developing professional actors.
In announcing the changes, members of the staff indicated that the new program had been shaped to meet three necessary objectives: the inclusion and arrangement of courses which will be of service to majors who will utilize their speech training as teachers; the inclusion of more courses in speech education, since the trend is now definitely toward a speech program extending upward from the grades, with emphasis upon the improvement of everyday speech rather
strains of mirth and contentment.
To Play Waring's Song
The concert, which is the band's winter performance, begins promptly at 8 o'clock. A large crowd is expected owing to the fine quality of the program menu and also the fact that the concert is the last function on the University concert and lecture series until school resumes following the Christmas recess.
One of the highlights on the program will be Bill Ward's arrangement of "The Banner of Old K.U." a composition by Fred Waring. The resumed interest in this song, written last spring by Waring and played by his orchestra on his nationwide broadcast, is coincidental since he is to replay it over the ether waves Friday evening on his College Song Smoker broadcast.
For lovers of "long-hair" harmony, the band will interpret contributions from operatic works by Richard Wagner, Sigmund Romberg, Gustav Holst, and Coleridge Taylor, noted negro composer.
Sextet Is Featured
An interesting and equally entertaining feature is the K.U. Sextet, made up of Joe McAnarney, Russell Chambers and Bob Carle, alto saxophones; Clyde Bysom and Browder Richmond, tenor saxophones; Bud Balzer, baritone saxophone; Arthur Harris, string bass; and Wayne Ruppenthal, trumpet. The sextet will play Joe McAnarney's arrangement of "I'll Never Smile Again."
The "Jayhawk Trumpeteers," composed of Eugene Crabb, Leo Horacek, and Herbert Mueller, will present "Boloero," a trio for comets by Walter Smith.
Special lighting will be under the direction of Bob Hampel, electrical engineering senior, and field drum major with the band.
Scholastic Honors Go to NYA Students
Three hundred ten young men and women employed on the NYA College Work Program in New York City were recipients of scholastic awards and honors during the academic year 1939-1940, it was announced today.
This is an increase over the year before when 226 NYA students received honors and awards for meritorous scholarship.
According to W. E. Annin, Jr., New York NYA director who issued the report, all 23 students elected to Phi Beta Kappa at Hunter College were employed on the NYA Student Work Program.
"Although these young men and women are required to work during hours that ordinarily would be spent in leisure pursuits, surveys have shown their scholastic average is above that of the general student body," Anmin said.

Britain Watches French Cabinet Crisis
Britain Fight to Hold Gains in Africa
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign Edito
Great Britain battled to hold the initiative against Axis forces in the Libyan desert and the blizzard-wrapped Albanian mountains today while awaiting hopefully the results of Adolf Hitler's intervention in the French cabinet crisis and President Roosevelt's plan for lending war materials to Britain.
On the Albanian front, the Greeks were facing blizzards, deep snow and extreme cold in addition to increasingly stubborn resistance by reinforced Italian armies but one report reaching the Jugoslav frontier said that the important inland town of Klisura, had been captured by the Greeks. Bomb Fascist Columns
British airplanes were bombing and machine gunning Fascist columns along the coastal road leading to the bomb-splintered port of Valona, but the heavy storms appeared to be slowing down Greek advances on both north and south wings. Fighting continued in the Teperini and Porto Palermo sectors, although Greeks previously had been reported pushing into both towns and Porto Palermo was encircled by the drive toward Valona.
On the Libyan front, the British had circled and sent some forces on past the Fascist base of Bardia on the Mediterranean coast and were hammering with artillery, infantry, warships and airplanes at the base itself.
The Italian communique said that British warships off Bardia had been bombed by Italian warplanes and that a cruiser which yesterday was listed as having been struck by an aerial torpedo had been seen to turn over and sink. Two British and one Italian plane were last in the fighting, the communique reported. British losses in Libya were described by Fascists as heavy.
May Drive Against Ethiopia
In East Africa, there were hints that the British might be prepared to start an important offensive against Ethiopia if the Libyan drive slowed down. A communique issued at Nairobi, in Kenya colony, said that a British patrol raid on the front south of Ethiopia resulted in re-capture of the post of El Uak, where 50 Italians were killed and 75 captured.
British airplanes again bombed Southwestern Germany, centering on the war industries in the Mannheim region, where additional fires were started. Pilots reported that fires started in Monday's raids were still burning in that zone.
Start Fires in Industrial Region
The R.A.F. also resumed heavy attacks on the German invasion ports in occupied France. These attacks were said to be comparable to the pounding of these ports in September, when a German invasion plan was reported to have been broken up.
British sources received President Roosevelt's plan for lending war materials to Britain with enthusiasm. Authoritative sources in London said that the proposal was a "forthright" approach and that the President had "cleared the ground by emphasizing that the fundamental problem is not dollars but mu-nitions and that it is in the interest of the United States to find ways" of giving Britain the power to shorten the war.

Meet Nation Sights and Games Are Cager's Xmas
Twelve days of sightseeing, woven around three games with teams of national rank, is the Christmas present thirteen Jayhawk basketball players are getting this year.
First eastern trip a Kansas team has made in years, it will be the first time a Jayhawk quintet has ever played in Madison
sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Even though the awesome Huskers will carry the first tune-in bid the Kezar stadium game certainly will demand more than passive interest from the conference follower. No less than four Big Six representatives, two of which are almost certain to start for the West, will get a chance to show their brawny wares during he afternoon. A secondary fact is that the contest will bring together two of the mightiest elevens ever assembled for this yearly feud.
Aside from listening to, on actually seeing Nebraska's scarlet football machine in action against Stanford in the Rose Bowl next New Year's day, the Big Six grid fan can have, if he chooses, another attractive radio date with the annual East-West game, which will take place on the same day in San Francisco.
Starting Big Sixers should be Oklahoma's huge Harold "Toad" Lahar, a baby-faced murderer, who is listed at 214 pounds, but probably is much nearer 225, and Missouri's re d o u b t a b l e Paul Christman. Lahar is one of the best crop of Sooner mastadons, known as linenmen. Christman's reputation is already Mid-Western legend.
To give an idea of the might of the Western line, which is rated slightly better than the East forward wall, we can say that Lahar will represent only the average in physical bulk. Teaming with Tom Stidham's product at guard will be big Ben Sohn, the 235-pound U.S.C. collossus. Sears of Oregon State, called by many the best tackle on the coast, probably will pair with Oregon's Stuart. McDowell of Washington and Hickey of Arkansas are slated for opening end duty with huge-handed Rudy Mucha of Washington completing the lineup at center. This front wall phalanx will average 210.
Lahar's teammate, hard-blocking Bill Jennings, at end, and Kansas State's erratic, but good tackle, Bernie Weiner, are the remaining two conference sons.
With Christman in the first string backfield should be Oregon State's Kisselburgh, Washington's McAdams, and Southern Cal's Bobby Peoples.
Countering a dubious West line advantage will be a definite East backfield dom inance. Listed (continued to page five)
Square Garden.
Included on the itinerary are such spots held in high favor by tourists as Niagara Falls, West Point and Washington. D.C. The three games take the players into the metropolises as New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago.
Thirteen To Go
The thirteen players selected to make the trip are Howard Engleman, senior forward; Bob Allen, senior center; John Kline, senior guard; Bill Hogben, senior forward; Bob Johnson, junior guard; T. P. Hunter, junior guard; Marvin Sollenberger, sophomore guard; Vance Hall, sophomore forward; Charles Walker, sophomore forward; Norman Sanneman, senior forward; James Arnold, junior guard; John Buescher, sophomore center; and Dick Miller, sophomore forward.
The players will leave Lawrence on the Santa Fe Streamliner at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon, arriving in Chicago at 9:30, where they will stay overnight at the Allerton Hotel.
Tuesday morning the Jayhawkers go to Ann Arbor, Mich., arriving there at 2:23 that afternoon. The team will work out in the Michigan field house and stay at the Michigan Union.
From Ann Arbor the trip takes the squad to Niagara Falls on Christmas Day. They will be there from 1:25 Wednesday afternoon until 8:30. Leaving Niagara Falls the players go to Buffalo and then on to West Point.
Workout At West Point
At the United States Military Academy in West Point, Dr. F. C. Allen's men will have a workout in the Academy field house Thursday. Trainer at the Academy is Roland Logan, former Kansas football star.
New York's concrete canyons will loom up before the Kansas cagers that day. They will just have time to leave their luggage at the Hotel Piccadilly and take cabs to Madison Square Garden, where they will work out between halves of the Illinois-N.Y.U. game.

Huskers To Phoenix Thursday
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 18- (UF)—Nebraska's Cornhuskers would to hold today what they hoped would be their last practice session in freezing weather and ankle-deep snow.
Thursday Coach L. M. (Biff) Jones' Big Six football champions leave for Phoenix, Ariz., to scrimmage in the sunshine preparatory to meeting Stanford in the Rose Bowl New Year's day.
Yesterday, the Cornhuskers donned heavy warmup shoes and soft-soled shoes to try their luck in 15-above zero weather against Stanford's famous T-formation play as staged by the Nebraska reserves.
Line Coach Link Lyman who learned about the T-formation while playing with the Chicago Bears, instructed the Cornhuskers in defense tactics against the play that Nebraska expects Stanford to use.
Hargiss Hints Track Shifts; Pollom Reports
With nearly two weeks of intensive training on the indoor track under the stadium completed, Coach Bill Hargiss is contemplating shifting some of his numerous quarter milers to the half and mile events.
He figures that to run Bill Reid, Fred Eberhardt, Kenny Hamilton, lettermen, and Orlando Epp in the quarter for the indoor season is a waste of talent. Each are 50-second men in the quarter, but with only Don Thompson returning to run the half, Reid and Eberhardt may be converted to that distance also. Pollom Checks Out
Don Pollom began training this week, strengthening the sprinting and hurdling corps. With Ted Scott and Darrell Mathes, who is scheduled to return next semester, Coach Hargiss will have a strong dash trio for dual meets.
Bob Stoland; Big Six champ in the high and broad jumps has not reported yet. As soon as he finishes his CAA work he will begin conditioning work in defense of his titles. Stoland can be counted on to deliver 8 or 10 points in any meet because of his versatility. He is also a hurdling prospect.
A search for shot putters is being made. Ralph Schaake, Jim Holloway, W.F.Jack, and other football behemoths may develop into capable throwers.
Hargiss Is Optimistic
Although not predicting a championship team, Hargiss believes that his Jayhawk tracksters will make a considerably better showing than in last year's indoor meet when they finished last. He believes Kansas will place among the first three in the Big Six meet.
Kansas' first meet of the season will be at the Kansas City A.A.U. indoor extravaganza Feb. 8. Dual and triangular meets are being arranged with other conference schools.
Henry Rohn, was at fullback in place of the regular starter at that position, Vike Francis who is attempting to overcome scholastic difficulties so he can make the trip.

Delta Chi's Topple Teke's; Sigma Chi Wins
By CLINT KANAGA
Big Jim Zimmerman, Delta Chi center, batted in a tip-in with a minute to play to give the Delta Chi's a thrilling 19 to 17 win over a favored Tau Kappa Epsilon five. Sigma Chi won an equally exciting game from Kappa Eta Kappa 24-20 while the Dead End Kids downed Dunakin II 33 to 26 in the intramural basketball games played last night.
The Delta Chis had moved in front by halftime, leading the Tekes 15-11. During the third quarter, the Tekes put on a spurt to deadlock the score at 15 all. Callow, followed by Zimmerman, counted in the final period to give the Delta Chis victory. Standout of the Teke five was Dunn, guard while Callow kept the Delta Chis in the ball game with his continual long shots.
Tied 20 to 20 with three minutes to play, Bill Hyer, ace Sigma Chi forward, swished two successive one-handed shots to lead his teammates to triumph. The Kappa Eta Kappa outfit battled on even terms with the Sigma Chis until the last few minutes. Half score was 12 to 10 in the Sigma Chis favor. Game stars were McKale, Kappa Eta Kappa, and Hartman and Hyer, Sigma Chis.
The Dead End Kids romped to a well-earned win over Dunakin II 33 to 26 with Beims and Tannenbaum leading the way. Corkhill, star Dunakin forward, was aasonic thorn to the Dead Enders.

BOB JOHNSON
(continued from page four)
Quoting from the article it says, "Kansas will send out another crack team. She lost three regulars, but still has center Bob Allen and forward Howard Engleman. A stronger offense will offset defensive losses."
The Dec. 31 issue of the pictorial magazine "Look" lists "Phog" Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers once more as the class of Big Six cage teams.
"Look" names Oklahoma and Missouri as serious challengers, although both were hard hit by graduation, and Iowa State and Kansas State as "maybe" teams. Says Nebraska will have two aces in Don Fitz and Sid Held.
Hence, if the Husker-Indian skirmish begins to drag, or if you're just naturally a Husker hater anyway, keep that second date in San Francisco, where two great aggregations, boasting four of your own plains-country gridiron greats, will help ring down the curtain on another "football" circus.
And the East line shouldn't be sad with men like Drahos, Enich, Frutig, and Gajekci subject to call.

The Kansan Comments-lays their profits open to taxation under the "excess profits" act. The second decision brings the dividends of almost all really large corporations up for taxing in the several states where the profits were made. Previously corporations such as the many Standard Oils, could be regulated by the states; now it is possible to reach across the state line to get at corporations taking refuge behind charters from out-of-state.
EDITORIALS
BOOKS★
Opinions by Supreme court justices are exactly that—opinions. There is no perfect interpretation of the law; disagreements among the justices prove that. This does not gainsay, however, the awful importance of such decisions. Business probably would like to shrug off a couple of the latest U.S. Supreme court decisions as merely "a matter of opinion."
Buying Seals Not Enough
Last fall several student groups were responsible for the start of a campaign to test all food handlers of student meals to be sure that no tuberculosis carriers were in the group. Both the Men's and Women's Pan Hellenic associations demanded that their organizations see to it that all food handling employees go to the Watkins Memorial Hospital and take the tuberculin test. The Men's Student Council passed a similar resolution asking all other organized houses and boarding clubs to send their cooks and waiters to take the free examinations.
Students may do more toward actually preventing further spread of tuberculosis by seeing that all employees of the place where they eat are tested than by smugly laying down a dollar to buy a sheet of Christmas seals.
Court Stirs Ghosts
Everyone agreed that the plan was a fine thing. It would prevent further spread of the dreaded disease among the student group, would cost the organizations nothing. We were recently shocked by the announcement of an official of the Health Service that only four organizations have fully complied by having their employees tested.
Justice Reed, in rulings released yesterday, opined in such a way as to bring upon himself the haunting of such noted ghosts as those of John C. Calhoun and Aristotle. Further, the whole court kicked its chief defender, Business, in the face.
Writing the majority opinion in a case involving jurisdiction over hydro-electric plants on non-navigable streams, Justice Reed said that federal jurisdiction over U.S. streams "is as broad as the need of commerce." By this statement he placed federal control ahead of state control in such matters. The maledictions of the ghost of States-righter Calhoun could probably be heard way over on the Yankee side of heaven. At that, he was probably drowned by the caterwauling of businessmen here below.
Vastly more significant than the means of arriving at these decisions are the results thereof. The first ruling brings all hydroelectric plants under the commerce commission's jurisdiction, makes them liable to licensing, and
Reed's opinion can easily be reconciled to Reiser's new four-valued logic, but Business will find it hard to reconcile itself to Justice Frankfurtur's existence.
In a case involving the right of a state (in this case, Wisconsin) to tax the dividends of an out-of-state corporation (specifically, J. C. Penney's) operating in the state, Justice Frankfurtur's faction won an approval of such action, 5-4. Justice Reed was one of the dissenters. In the first case Reed ignores state lines, in the second he emphasizes them. Aristotle would probably shudder at such inconsistency. Interstate businessmen will probably have ague contemplating the significance of the majority ruling.

Fog Over Airports Cleared By Science
New York, Dec. 18.—(UP)—Aeronautical experts today considered two methods of dispelling fog over airports, one of the most common causes of airplane accidents.
The methods are heating runways and spraying fog with a sulphur chloride solution. Both have proven "moderately successful," Dr. Sverre Petterssen, professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told 200 members of the Institute of Aerontica Science last night, in the fourth annual Wright Brothers' lecture.
Warm air flowing over a cold surface commonly causes fogs, Dr. Petterssen explained; hence, heating runways is a cheap, and fairly successful preventive.
When the sulphur chloride solution was sprayed into fog at the rate of 85 gallons a minute, he reported, an area of 150 feet wide, 30 feet high and 1,500 feet long was cleared.
Dr. Petterssen, former chief of the weather bureau of western Norway,
said the experiments were conducted by Dr. H. G. Houghton and Dr. W. H. Radford of Mit.
Theta Tau Honors George Bradshaw
Theta Tau initiated George W. Bradshaw, associate professor of engineering, as an honorary member of its chapter last Sunday. Bradshaw is a faculty member of Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, and faculty adviser for the student chapter of A.S.C.E. here on the Hill.
The initiation was followed by the annual Christmas banquet, honor ing Bradshaw and the seniors who are being graduated at mid-year, Leonard Schroeter, Bill Shears, Dean Ritchie, and J. B. Waid.
Kansas University basketballers can boast of 23 consecutive wins on the home court.
ROCK CHALK TALK
When an apple polisher takes back his apple, faculty should check up on their personalities.
The other morning after a Hill party which Prof. W. H. Schoewe and some of his students attended, two young men brought in apples and set them on his desk. But the ungrateful Mr. Schoewe gave the class a "shot-gun" exam for the first time in the memory of sedimentary rocks students.
One of the apple-carrying boys either didn't know the answers or objected to the principle of the thing. Finally, he jumped up in disgust, stalked to the desk, slapped down his test paper, reached over and picked up the apple he had brought, and stormed out.
For two days the law barn has been the scene of courtroom drama. A hypothetical case set up went something like this.
Two laborers go to the office of a doctor (Medical Student Charles Nice) to be examined for work in an Aero Company factory. They have been promised jobs if they pass the examination. Nice gives them his okay.
Then one of them (College Senior Addison West) falls downstairs and breaks his leg. His buddy totes him back up to the doctor. Days later infection sets in, and the leg is amputated.
On Monday, West sued the Aero Company for workman's compensation, since he was technically in their employ at the time of the accident. He won, plugged by attorney Wilbur Leonard, David Scott, and John Ziegelmeyer.
Yesterday "Dr." Nice sued West for fees for services rendered, and West filed a cross bill charging the doctor with malpractice.
If you're still not too confused to be interested, the doctor came out on the heavy end of this deal. His attorneys were Virgil Garrett, Victor Breen, and Bob McKinley, who also argued for the Aero Company the first day.
Important witness in yesterday's trial was "Dr. Sawbones," who had been called in for consultation before the amputation.
Penny pitchers aren't doing so well. The graph in Frank Strong hall shows that four times as many pennies hit the net as hit the bucket.
Here's the latest on complication involved in taking a bath at college.
Saturday night in the men's dormitory at Park College, Parkville, Mo., two freshmen had heavy dates and wanted to bathe before starting out. Freshman A got in the tub and took his time. Freshman B became impatient and climbed in the tub, too.
"I'm going to sit here till the water freezes over or you get out," said Freshman A.
"That goes for me, too," said Freshman B.
Hours later another joined the bathtub crowd, and the resulting collection of arms and legs was extensive.
Midnight came. Somebody turned on the cold water but the three men soaked on. At 3 a.m., another student opened the bathroom window.
The last man in was the first man out, and had to pay off the other two a bet made during the sit-down. He bought triple-egg malted milk around.
Tonight is the Kappa serenade. Enough said.

The lecture, second in a series on Kansas writers, is being given in connection with the University celebration of its Seventy-fifth Anniversary.
Among the Hill poets of earlier days whose work will receive comment will be William Herbert Carruth in whose honor the recently announced Carruth poetry contest is conducted.
63 Schools Offer Defense Courses
In a newsletter received yesterday from Washington by F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering, it was stated that engineering courses under the National Defense Program similar to those that will be offered at the University starting next semester, have been authorized in 63 engineering schools over the nation.
It is estimated that nearly 25,000 students will benefit from these courses which will be taught in 38 states. The nine million dollars which congress allotted for these specialized courses of intensive training is effective only until June 30,1941,but Russell believes that the courses will be continued under the present emergency program.
Kansas State College at Manhattan received authorization to conduct three courses, Russell said. The University-will present six of these courses during the second semester for men not now in school.
These courses are also designed for the men with the necessary qualifications who are employed in industry and wish to take the work in night classes.
Many persons are writing in, Russell said, and those interested will be sent a questionnaire to fill out which will be in the form of a formal application to enroll in the new courses.
Russell also announced that he will present a 30-minute roundtable discussion on these new National Defense courses over station WREN from 9:30 to 10 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 26. Helping Russell with the discussion will be some prospective student in the defense courses.

NEW BUILDING WOULD HELP---- Surveys Need More Room
This is the fifth in a series of news stories presenting the advantages that the proposed new mineral industry building would bring to the campus and the state.
By MARYNELL DYATT
Sandwiched into the annex of old Haworth hall and running over into both Hoch auditorium and the mechanical laboratory of the engineering building, is the Kansas State Geological Survey and the Federal Survey.
In the basement of Hoch auditorium are more offices and laboratories and a library of well cuttings that are used by the sub-surface division. Last of these scattered offices are found in the mechanical laboratories of the engineering building.
Included in the annex of Haworth hall are offices of the staff, clay laboratories, sub - surface laboratories, and the drafting department.
Equipment and Offices Scattered
Equipment and Offices Scattered Present conditions are a disadvantage—first, in that equipment and offices are so scattered. The second disadvantage is that there is much equipment that can not be used because there is no room in which to set it up. This is not only a lack of efficient use of equipment but limits greatly the research that can be carried on by the department.
The greatest advantage of the proposed Mineral Industry building to the Kansas and Federal Geological Surveys will be room-sufficient room to set up equipment so as to do efficient work, and more room for offices and for laboratories. Would Banish Fire Hazard
In the new building every division of the department would be better coordinated so that materials would not be scattered. One advantage heretofore unmentioned is the doing away with the fire risk which, with all experiments, is very high under the present conditions.
The Surveys function as research divisions through which, working together, they develop the mineral industries of the state.
Studies of the geology of Kansas by the Geological Surveys have resulted in the finding of new mineral deposits and the discovery of facts that have aided in the further development of previously known deposits.
News From Page One
MALOTT TELLS---lor Deane W. Malott said this morning. "The University of Kansas has an important stake in the proposed mill-tax levy to provide a long term building program for the state institutions of higher learning.
"Under the mill tax levy, the University would receive, as its portion, sufficient funds to provide a replacement or a new building or a substantial addition every three or four years.
"Although it would take years to build back the physical plant of the University, on this basis, it would at least provide constant modest improvements and prevent such a building moratorium as we have just
experienced, wherein we have been 17 years without additional class and laboratory space.
Mineral Building Wanted Now
"While this proposal would bring us eventual relief, we are asking the legislature for a Mineral Industries building at this session because funds from the mill tax, if enacted by the coming legislature, would not be available to use in sufficient amount to provide a building for several years. The people of Kansas can ill afford to wait for the proposed Mineral Industries building because of its importance in providing facilities for research in the significant program of industrialization now going forward in Kansas."
SOIL BLOCKS--to six cents per cubic foot for stabilized earth blocks as compared to 15 to 25 cents per cubic foot for standard concrete blocks.
Since soil, which is the principle ingredient of the blocks, may come from the premises of the owner or nearby, the material cost is extremely low, consisting of labor, securing the soil, and a few cents per cubic foot for the stabilizer.
There is the possibility that this new development may more or less revolutionize the cost of small building industry. As regards the new laboratory, the cost of the building will undoubtedly be the lowest of any structure of comparable size on the University campus.
YULE OWL---the street where songs are born

The jingling of coins which has echoed through the rotunda of Frank Strong hall during the past few days is the result of the penny-pitching game recently set up by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity.
Few University students can lay claim to an average exceeding .200, but the penny tossing is at least proving a success to the organization which has netted more than $20 from its project. The money will be used to spread Christmas cheer among needy citizens of Lawrence.

Heavenly Meeting May Explain Star of Bethlehem Storer Saves Watch Western Sky Tonight
The County club publicity drive for the University begins this weekend when 104 county chairmen return to their home towns for the Christmas holidays.
Release Lab Plans
The color film, "Homecoming 1938," and a short film "Tour of Mount Oread," will be shown in several towns in Trego, Wilson, and Republic counties.
Window displays of photographs showing life at the University are now enroute to towns over the state. These displays, prepared at the expense of the Alumni Association, are available without charge to all county clubs.
During the holidays, Eureka, Chanute, Stockton, Marion, Syracuse, Osawatomie, Pittsburg, St. John, Stafford, and Macksville will exhibit the displays.
These pictures include views of buildings on the campus, work of the various departments, sports, and other campus activities.
Many counties have requested that the movie, "Far Above the Golden Valley," written and filmed on Mt. Oread, be shown at high school assemblies over the state. This film is scheduled to go on tour at the beginning of the year.
Should Make Flight Training Applications Now
Application blanks for training in primary and advanced flying have been received here by Earl D. Hay, professor of mechanical engineering, announced today. Students interested in taking either of these courses next semester should report to Hay's office, 117 Marvin hall, to fill out applications before leaving for the holidays.

Some astronomers believe that this rare heavenly conjunction of
two planets and a newly discovered comet may be an explanation of the Star of Bethlehem—now shining in the Christmas skies.
This comet came to the observation of Leland E. Cunningham of Harvard College Observatory staff on Sept. 18, 1940.
Prof. William H. Barton, Jr., executive curator of the Hayden Planetarium said, "The great astronomer Kepler was so impressed by a conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter that he figured back and found that in the year generally the Nativity, these ets were not only close they are at the present keen joined by the plan form an extraordinary sight in the sky. Perhaps that was the "star" the
Wise Men followed to Bethlehem." Brightest Since Halley's Comet
This is the first time since 1683 that the two planets have been in conjunction, Barton said. The head of the comet is the brightest since the spectacular visitation of Halley's comet in 1910.
Dr. N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy here, explains that the planets pass every 20 years, but that this is the first time that they have been in conjunction with the new comet.
Storer says that it is not feasible to say that this is the star which was seen over Bellehume, because the exact date of the birth of Christ is uncertain. *Lonysius Exigus*, a Roman monk who died in 650 A.D.

K-State Course In Explosives
The Bureau of Education in Washington has approved the organization of courses in explosives in only three institutions, Kansas State, Case, and Purdue.
Kansas State Agricultural College will be one of the few schools in the nation to offer a course in explosives as part of the national program of engineering training for defense.
With munitions plants being established in St. Louis, Kansas City, and many other points in the Midwest. W. L. Faith, head of the department of chemical engineering at Kansas State, believes there will be considerable demand for the training offered.
The purpose of the course is to provide training for personnel to work in explosives and loading plants, as inspectors for the ordnance department, and for supervising personnel for the firms which will operate the plants. The course will consist of 12 weeks of study.
Ferry Bombers To England Is Delanty's Job

After the holidays, he will go to Toronto where he will be employed by the British government to ferry bombers purchased from the United States to England. He obtained this position through the Kansas City office of the Clayton-Knight organization which is sympathetic to the British cause.
Delanty, a flyer with ten years of experience, has been teaching elementary and advanced flying.

Clay Building To House New KFKU Studio
By CHUCK ELLIOTT
Architectural plans released today by W. C. McNown, professor of Civil engineering, show that the new engineering research laboratory will be a one-story, thirteen-room structure facing northwest with one main entrance and two small front entrances to each wing.
The building will be made of stabilized earth blocks, compressed by NYA labor.
Location of the new building will be directly behind Marvin hall between Hoch auditorium and the present engineering machine shops. This will necessitate moving the south tower of station KFKU. Seven Laboratories In Plans
Seven research laboratories are included in the plans, three of which will be in the west wing and four in the center section of the building. These laboratories will vary in size from the two smallest which are 20 feet square to the two largest which are 22 feet by 29 feet.
One of the most important features of the building will be the housing of the studios and control room of KFKU. These will be located in the east wing of the building and will also include a reception hall for the station. All equipment of KFKU will be moved to these new rooms from their present location on the second floor of the engineering machine shops building. Main Studio Pentagon-Shaped

The Lawrence public schools plan to cooperate in studying the play, and it was announced that suggestions from civic clubs and individuals will be welcomed by Mrs. David McCreath, president of the A. A.U.W.
"The play covers a 20 year period in which the American republic took form and holds interesting possibilities in compiling music and dancing, our heritage from the Dutch," Mrs. Six explained.

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
H. M. Mason, Guest Conductor Best basketball player Kansas faced last year was a boy from a school that is virtually unknown to the general public He was Gene Clark, tall center on the New Mexico School of Mines quintet... This young giant, standing 6 feet 4 inches tall, was as agile as a toe dancer. The Jayhawks clashed with the Miners in the Sunflower tournament at Topeka during Christmas vacation last year and nearly met disaster.
Clark and a smooth forward named Crooks gave Kansas a fit in the first half of that game, with the result that New Mexico led 23-18 at half-time. . . . Consensus is that the Miners might have won the game if Clark and Crooks had not fouled out early in the second half.
Clark was as near to an "unguardable" player as this writer has ever seen ... He could feint beautifully and then, with his guard off balance, drive for the basket as though released by a steel spring . . . Only thing for a guard to do then was to grab Clark or to let him go in for a setup. . . . Harp and Kline, who alternated at trying to guard Clark, chose to grab him, but found this hardly paid. . . The big Miner center converted 7 free throws in the first half, along with racking up 3 field goals for a total of 12 points.
Only flaw in Clark's play was his overeagerness to defense. . . . When Clark fouled out early in the second half, the Miners' cause was lost. . . . The big boy hailed from the state of Indiana originally and just how he got away from universities in that state is hard to understand. . . . Clark averaged better than 20 points a game in the tournament at Topeka and playing with a ball club like Kansas, Indiana, or Southern California might well have been scoring 25 to 30 points a game.
Compiling an impressive record in early season play is Iowa State's all-veteran team. . . The Cyclones surprised by knocking off Minnesota and then followed that with a win over Bradley Tech's highly rated team. . . Apparently the biggest factor in the team's improved showing over last year is Darren Schneider, 6 foot 6 inch junior guard. . . The bi gboy has been going strong.
Oklahoma is counting on some crack sophomores in its bid for the Big Six cage title . . . Rex Heap and Allie Paine have been starting at guard and "Ug" Roberts won a forward berth with his brilliant scoring in the S.M.

Manhattan, Kan., Dec. 19 — The University of Kentucky, Southeastern conference champion and one of the nation's basketball leaders, will invade Nichols gymnasium here at 7:30 tomorrow night to meet Kansas State college of the Big Six.
Coach Adolph Rupp lost only two key men of his "Pride of Dixie" squad last season and believes this year's aggregation is of the same caliber as the 1939-40 outfit which won 16 out of 21 games. Since Rupp became coach ten years ago, Kentucky cage teams have won 163 games while losing 36. They have copped their league title five times in the eight years of the circuit's existence.
Leader of the Kentucky quintet is Capt. Lee Huber, six-foot senior guard and candidate for all-America honors. He and Keith Farnsley, forward, are the only seniors on the team.
Kentucky defeated K-State 53 to 26 at Lexington a year ago, although Coach Rupp won't agree that his team was that much better than the opponents. "It was one of our very best games," he said. "We would have made it tough for anybody that night."
Kansas State, although seriously handicapped by a lack of reserve strength, has shown steady improvement and is undefeated in three games. Jack Horacek, a junior sharpshooter from Topeka, is setting the individual scoring pace with a record of 32 points in the three contests.
When the next issue of the Saturday Evening Post hits the news stands Tuesday K.U. will be included in its pages when it carries a story on head basketball coach, Dr. F. C. Allen.
Allen and K.U. Basketball Featured in Next Post
The story was written by Howard Turtle, former University journalism student now employed by the Kansas City Star. This story relates the basketball coaching career of a man who has spotlighted K.U. at the top of the national basketball picture.

Intramural Stars of the Week
BIG SIX INTRAMURAL
Jim Zimmerman, Delta Chi—Made the shot of the week, batting in a tip-in to upset a highly favored Teke team. Also the standout rebounder on the floor.
Warren Lowen, Battenfeld, — Sparked his teammates to victory over Theta Tau with four goals and four free throws.
Bill Hyer, Sigma Chi—Broke a 20-all tie in the Kappa Eta Kappa game with two one-handed shots in the closing minutes. His four points gave his team 24-20 win.
I'm Kuming Your Way
Walt Sheridan, Sig Alph—Played a prominent part against the Phi Delts and A.K.Psi's. Starred on defense and hit the clinching goal!
OWEN CARL - C. C. CARL - AND ALL THE BOYS
against the A.K.Psi team in an overtime.
Lee Huddleston, A.K.Psi-Exhibited some of the finest ball handling seen this year against the Sig Alphs
Joe Fournier, Newman Club—Breaks into the Stars of the Week for the second time due to his fine play against the Ohio Mountain Boys.
Larry McSpadney, Phi Gam—Like Fournier, Larry makes this column again by his splendid teamwork and passing in addition to ringing up 14 points against the Delta Taus.
At the start of this season, Michigan, Southern California and Minnesota all had won 2 national championships. But with another undefeated season to their record, the Gophers gained their third national championship in seven years and the right to have the trophy presented to them permanently by the "Four Horsemen."
The trophy was donated to the sport of football in 1930 by the famous "Four Horsemen" of Notre Dame—Elmer Layden, Harry Stuhldreher, Jim Crowley, and Don Miller—and was to be presented to the team with the best 10-year record in collegiate football.
Rockne Trophy To Gophers
—Thank You for your many favors granted us, and extend to you the festive season's greetings. "Wishing you a pleasant vacation and trusting the old guy with white whiskers will hit a jackpot for you Christmas morning — with just what you wanted."
Those Golden Gophers of Minnesota, not content with gaining the "Little Brown Jug" from Michigan for another year, are now going to receive permanent possession of the Knute Rockne Memorial trophy at ceremonies tentatively scheduled for Feb. 8.
Kenneth Dunn, Teke—Despite the loss to the Delta Chi's, the Teke's had a one-man whirlwind in Dunn who topped the scoring and fighting spirit of the losers.
Dr. E. E. Ecker, professor of Immunology at Western Reserve University, will speak on "Recent Progress in Immunity" at a dinner meeting of the Kansas City Academy of Medicine at 6:30 tomorrow evening in the Fred Harvey Pine room of the Union Station in Kansas City.

"Banner of Old KU Over Air Tomorrow
Bernadine Green, education junior, is compiling a book for the physical education department library, which includes costumes that are worn in all countries. Each costume is illustrated in color accompanied with a description of the way it can be made. The department is often asked to give folk dances for outside occasions and this book will be an advantage when costumes are needed.
Lest we forget, this is to remind students that "The Banner of Old K.U.," written last spring by Fred Waring and first played over the air on May 3, will be replayed over the network tomorrow evening on Waring's Chesterfield program, heard over radio station WDAF at 6 o'clock. This news was received last week in a telegram from the orchestra leader.
The song was written last spring as a result of a petition by University students. It was featured on the Hill last night by the University band in its annual winter concert

Alphs Upset A.K.Psi's In Overtime
By CLINT KANAGA
A pre-season favorite, Alpha Kappa Psi fell before Sigma Alpha Epsilon last night in an exciting overtime basketball battle 19 to 16. The Psis, runnerups last year, suffered their first loss of the season. Two other favorites came through with easy victories, the Phi Gams downing the Delta Taus 38 to 23 while the Newman Club crushed the Ohio Mountain Boys 50 to 15.
In the other intramural contests, Delta Chi “B” won from A.T.O. “B” 25-11, Phi Delt “B” gained a forfeit from Pi K.A. “B,” and Phi Si “C” triumphed over Beta “C” 28-13.
Deadlocked at 15 all as the game ended the Sig Alphs moved in front on two free throws by Dick Amerine, and a short under-basket shot by Walt Sheridan. Thompson's charity toss was the only Psi counter in the extra period. Trailing 11 to 13 with two minutes, D. Gibbens swished two long shots, only to have the score tied again the closing seconds on Quiring and Amerines free throws.
McSpadden rang up 14 more points to his scoring total as the Phi Gams won easily from the Delta Taus. The Fijis had the game under control from the start. Fournier and Nordstrom paced the Newman Club with 12 and 10 points respectively as their team triumphed with a 35 point margin.
Delta Chi "B" led for the third successive game by W. Wendstrand, defeated A.T.O. "B". Wendstrand gathered nineteen of his team's twenty-five points. Sheridan starred for the Phi Psi "C" in victory while Chubb stood out for the losing Beta team.

Lawrence Family Will See KU Play In Garden
Three rabid K.U. basketball fans who have lived in Lawrence all of their lives will see the Kansas team play for the first time in Madison Square Garden when they meet Fordham the night of Dec. 28.
The boosters are Prof. E. C. Buehler's three daughters, "Posie," "Beeewee," and Phyllis, who will leave today with their parents on a much anticipated trip to New York and Washington over the Christmas holidays.
While in Washington Professor Buehler will attend a meeting of the National Association for Teachers of Speech. The professors attending the convention and their families, have been invited to a tea in the White House by Mrs. Roosevelt.
The Buehlers will travel by car and expect to visit many historic landmarks on the way.
Hospital Shortens Dispensary Hours
Flu Cases Show No Increase in Hospital
The student hospital will be closed on Christmas and New Year's. Two cases of surgery are scheduled during vacation.
Beginning next Sunday and continuing throughout vacation, dispensary hours at Watkins Memorial hospital will be from 10 a.m. until noon, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, said today.
The influenza epidemic which is severe on the west coast has not entered Kansas, or at least the University, according to a statement issued from Watkins Memorial hospital today.
At the University there have been five flu cases this fall, which is about a normal number.

The largest and precst of the world's democracies pours it tremendous resources into the task of building a war machine second to none.

Places on board the Atlantic Clippers are reserved for weeks ahead. Does anybody remember way back when it was considered dangerous to fly across the Atlantic?
Laval; Leasing; Lebensraum
The German furor over ex-premier Laval and his imprisonment the American offer to "lease" aid to Britain, and Hitler's recent threat to take economic lebensraum from the capitalistic countries, have a related significance of peril for our standard of living, perhaps, even for our freedom.
The rumor of possible total German occupation of France reflects an equally grave threat to us. If France is occupied, it will be to facilitate movement of Nazi troops to the eastern theater of war.
If Hitler's troops could turn the tide of battle in Africa and ultimately capture Suez, the visionary theory of a "new order" would have a sound economic base. Japan, with her substantial merchant marine, could aid the Reich through the Mediterranean.
The British fleet still commands the Mediterranean, but any German success in Egypt would probably be followed by Spanish "cooperation" at Gibraltar. Thus, the British navy might be cut off, possibly starved into surrender, at least forced to operate from inadequate bases.
Hitler has declared informal war on us by characterizing the United States as a "have" nation, which must be humbled. We have started economic war on Japan. It is reasonable to assume that the United States would be the most popular common enemy of a working Japanese-German alliance.
Immediate attack on this country might be forestalled by the efforts of the combined British-American Asiatic fleets,but a Japanese-German economic order would allow economic rehabilitation in both of these countries to such an extent that they might become strong enough to attack us before we are ready to meet such an attack.

NOTICES★
Bethlehem
By Walter D. Edmonds Appeared in the Ladies' Home Journal
"We have no place for you within But the stable hat a stall. Here is a lamp," they said to him, "Bed there, or not at all."
Joseph opened the stable door,
His heart as any stone;
His only choice to enter in,
His wife's hand in his own.
图
And Joseph said. "This Bethlehem Seemeth a weary way To fetch a man from Nazareth His taxes for to pay.
"Ceasar in Rome has little ruth. For plain folk, what cares he? I warrant if he were a carpenter, Such dealing would not be."
"Ceasar in Rome he cannot know Whenas my time draws near. Oh, fear not, Joseph." Mary said, "For what is there to fear?
"If you can find no other room, To lie here is no shame. So long as He grow wise and strong, Our Son can make a name."
And it was she led Joseph in,
Wondering as any child.
"Behold, how quiet is it here."
And on the beasts she smiled.
"Here find I no urgentleness,
These beasts they look so kind.
This manger smelch sweet of hay:
In truth I do not mind."
ROCK CHALK TALK
You can't get around it, the Hill populace is shy. And because they are so meek, many students may not have yet mustered the courage to confide to Santa Claus their urgent needs.
Just in case the beared saint (and we don't mean Reginald Buxton) gets his hands on this paper between now and Dec. 25, here are a few hints as to what he might deliver to the Jayhawk community.
To Bob Beeler, a car stretcher to take care of that rear-compartment overflow.
To Phil McCarthy, more Joe College clothes to attract a still greater variety in dates.
To Shirley Kernodle, a pair of stilts so that Charles Prather will have to look up to her.
To Margie Hagstrom and Don Fitzgerald, still more cartoon ideas to make Sour Owl readers pop-eyed.
To Paul Diegel, the telephone number of any girl who has both beauty and brains.
To Phil Babcock, transportation to White Plains, N.Y., for the holidays.
To Patty Duncan, a miniature phonograph, pocket size if possible, to reel off the much-publicized Duncan chatter and save wear and tear on Patty.
To Ray Davis, Billie Jarboe or a reasonable facsimile.
To Shirley Tholen, that screen test her parents wrangled Ted North about.
To John Waggoner, a private phone so those long conversations won't make other Battenfeld boys foam.
To Clayton Harbur, a rabbit's foot to stick in his pocket before the band battle in Kansas City Saturday night.
To Charles Ege, any lass who has money. (Ditto for other Phi Psi's as long as they last.)
To Mary Brower, a steady boy friend who doesn't play in the band on week-end nights.
To Virginia Ford, a tricky name for the Oread high school pep squad which she is sponsoring.
To the White Carnation, whoever he is, a set of mystery novels so he can get inspiration for 1941 mystifying.
To Pachacamac, a re-districted campus.
To "Phog" Allen, victory at Madison Square Garden Dec. 29.
To Marjorie Mock, no more Christmas parties, please. Ellvin Sandell doesn't like it.
To Dick Tippin, more well-deserved Hill dance-banding contracts.
And Samta, don't bother about anything for Bob Scott. But, as a special favor, you might leave a lock of his hair in every coed's stocking.

Band Concert 'Listenable' Days Uncritical Critic
Bv ROSCOE BORN
There were a lot of cars in front of Hoch Auditorium last night. So many cars, in fact, that from the outside you could not tell if the University band was playing a concert or "Phog" Allen's basketball players were fighting for the league championship.
But if you managed to get inside, you'd know what was going on. Russell Wiley and the band were putting on a show.
Now I'm no music critic. I couldn't tell you (even if you'd be interested) about any errors the band might have made, or if the music was this, or that, or any of the other things critics like to write
about.
All I know is I spent an hour and a half in the auditorium, and the time seemed more like 15 minutes. Somebody one row back said it was "certainly a listenable concert" and that comment seems to cover things.
Only two things about the evening that I regret: It was so difficult to find a parking place near the auditorium that I had to miss the first part of the concert; wise man Ed Garich, the man who ordinarily would be filling this space with knowing comments on the concert, was* sick abed last night and didn't get to take in the show. Might Not Have Liked 'Pavanne'
Don't know what the ailing Garich would be saying about the concert now, but chances are he'd be talking about the way the band executed the "long-haired music" on

Czech Exchange Student Finds Variety At Kansas
By BOB VIATE
Jerry Holy, an exchange student from Czechoslovakia, is spending his time at the University in a novel and unusual way.
The Interfraternity Council is sponsoring his graduate study and providing for his stay at four different fraternity houses in one year.
At Delta Chi House First
During the first half of the fall semester, Jerry stayed at the Delta Chi house. Naturally these first few weeks were the most difficult for the exchange student, but Jerry took it all in stride Because he speaks excellent English, as well as five other lan-
After staying at the Delta Chi house until mid-semester, Jerry moved to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house. He will stay there until the semester is over. Then he will move in with the Phi Psi's and Phi Gam's during the second semester.
Gains Numerous Friends
Although Jerry stays in each house only a short time he has gained numerous friends. Besides being an excellent scholar, Jerry is a good athlete. He is especially proficient in tennis, ping pong, and basketball. He also goes to a majority of the social functions on the Hill.
Jerry must believe in a wellrounded education, for he has studied in Chicago as well as abroad before coming to Kansas.
Fair and warmer for Eastern Kansas today and tomorrow.
Favorite College Word Is "Hello"
Alfred, N.X.—(UP)—The Alfred University survey has made a startling discovery. The word "hello" is spoken 175 times a day by the average student.
The high for one person is reached by some girls who give the salutation as many as 350 times on warm spring or summer days. This average, though, is brought down by some of the timid youth who speak only when spoken to.
Smith Recovering from Injury
Verner F. Smith, professor of architecture, who was injured in an automobile accident three weeks ago, is recovering at his home at 1821 Mississippi. It is expected that he will have to wear a cast on his leg for five more weeks.
the program. He might be saying that the band lost tempo on "Pavanne."
Here's Wishing You All a Swell Vacation. A Happy Christmas - And a New Year Filled With Happiness.
But not me. I and the 3,500 others in the audience will be talking for some time about—
How Director Wiley was up to his usual P. T. Barnum self.
From the boys with the "Gas Tailor-made for Kansas" and Hood Tires, guaranteed 15 months.
How the Jayhawk Trumpeteers twiddled their tongues on the Boilero.
MOTOR-IN
The One-Stop Service Station — Skelly Products
How masculine the music sounded when the band boomed out with that "Shoulder to shoulder" stuff in the Sigmund Romberg medley. Foot Say 'Let's Dance'
Feet Say 'Let's Dance'
How satisfying it would have been to dance when the K.U. Saxet, plus a bull fiddle and a drummer, set about to bring down the house with "T'll Never Smile Again."
How Wayne Ruppenthal probably never played his trumpet portion of the sax number the same way twice. And how it would be good any way he happened to play it.
How Wiley always seemed able to get more power from the band when you'd swear the "Procession to the Cathedral" was taking all the band had already.
How bass-drummer Bill Ward managed to keep an ordinary right arm going in that double-jointed swing.

STORER SAYS---was the first person to count time from the birth of Christ. Up to 200 A.D. no one even thought of celebration the birth of Christ. Epiphany, or Christ's spiritual rebirth, was celebrated instead. Celebrated at Various Times
Dec. 25 was not agreed upon as the date of the birth of Christ until the fourth century A.D. Christmas was celebrated at various times from November up to May. Dec. 21 was the Norwegian celebration, until Dec. 25 was accepted finally as an attempt of the Christian to compromise with the Pagan festival. Charlemagne in 800 A.D. was the first civil authority who kept time records dating from the birth of Christ. It is often accepted, however, that Christ was born between 5 and 4 B.C. because Christ was born during the reign of King Herod who died in 4 B.C.
Since the exact time of the birth of Christ is unsettled, it is difficult to ascribe some specific star, comet, or meteor the dignity of being THE star of Bethlehem.
Halley's comet which appears about every 75 years, might have been one explanation of the Bethlehem Star, but it appeared in 11 B.C. which again would upset present ideas regarding the date of the birth of Christ.
Myth Plays Large Part
If the original star of Bethlehem were a physical affair, it is certain that a good deal of myth was connected with it.
Storer says that if any error is made in estimating a location in the sky equal to the diameter of the moon, this would mean an error of 60 miles on the earth or a distance equal to that across Palestine Therefore, it would be almost impossible to say that a star was directly over Bethlehem.
Anyway, take a look tonight
The supposed star of Bethlehem might have been a meteor, but since it is impossible to know when a meteor is going to appear, one could not accurately say that the Bethlehem Star was a meteor.
CLAY BUILDING--mate size of 28 by 35 feet, making it the largest room in the building.
The other studio and the control room will be 12 by 20 feet.
The large administration reception hall will be the first room inside the main entrance, and the main desk will be located here. A small office, 8 by 14 feet, will be adjacent to the first laboratory in the west wing.
The over-all dimension of the building will be approximately 160 by 40 feet. A concrete service apron will be adjoining five laboratories in the rear of the building.
To Construct New Road
A new road will also be constructed behind the concrete apron
which will connect the parking area west of Hoch auditorium to the road going south of the Chi Omega house.
The outside surface of the building will have a medium-smooth texture such as concrete. This surface then may be painted any color desired. The structure will have a monolothic concrete floor, a composition board ceiling, and a roof covering of asbestos shingles.

Griffith Paintings Now On Display
Of the 21 pictures on exhibition, four are of scenes in and about Lawrence. "Mount Oread" was painted in 1815 and gives the view of Lawrence northeast from old College hill. This view is still much the same today.
The memorial exhibition of the paintings by William A. Griffith is now on display in the Spooner-Thayer museum. Griffith was a professor of drawing and painting at the University of Kansas from 1899 to 1921. It was through his efforts that the Thayer Collection of Arts was brought to the University.
"Foggy Morning in Spring" will bring back memories to those who recall an old windmill which Griffith painted in 1906.
"On the Links" and "Kansas Nocturne" are paintings of natural landscapes on a Lawrence golf course in 1914 and a scene along
