1-Day Enrollment Is a Success Says Lawson
"The one-day enrollment went off very well, considering necessary shifts in the faculty, and the offering of new courses," Dean Paul B. Lawson said today.
Dean Lawson hopes that the college office will have to make very few changes after this week. Next week only very unusual reasons for changes will be accepted.
This one-day enrollment system may be instituted for the second semesters hereafter, Dean Lawson added, but it could not work for the first semester.
The only difficulty in this semester's enrollment was the reorganization of courses, which necessitated many changes in the schedule after pre-enrollment took place.
Figures on the number who enrolled this semester have not yet been officially announced.
Pan-Hell Discusses Possible Changes In Rushing Rules
Rush rules for next school year were discussed by the Women's Pan-Hellenic members in their meeting at the Delta Gamma sorority house Tuesday night, but no official steps were taken regarding changes under consideration.
Ruth Beeler, Alpha Chi Omega, will continue as acting president of the body until arrangement for an election can be planned. Sue Johnston, the former president, was married during vacation and will not be in school this semester.

Cady Fellowship To Be Established
Ralph Miller, 30-point star of the Wichita game, will lead the Jayhawks against Great Lakes Thurs.
The University of Kansas Endowment Association has received a check for $4,000 from Roy Cross, Kansas City, for the establishment of the H. P. Cady fellowship to be administered by the department of chemistry.
The fellowship is to be established in honor of Dr. H. P. Cady, member of the staff from 1899 to 1940 and chairman of the department since 1916 until his retirement.
Dr. H. Q. Brewster, present chairman of the department, said today that the department of chemistry has full authority to select the research project and the student to assign to it, under the terms of the Cross grant. Dr. Brewster said that projects related to the development of Kansas resources would be given first consideration. The chemistry

Give Away Your Books! Solace For Soldiers
If you have any good books gathering dust on your shelves with which you could bear to part,you might take them to Watson library to be given to the soldiers.
A Victory Book campaign, sponsored by the USO, the Red Cross, and the American Library Association, has as its goal the raising of 10 million books for the use of men in the armed services. Despite facilities provided by the government, the demand for books is exceeded the supply. C. M. B. director of libraries, and vice-chairman of the drive in Lawrence is in charge of receiving books at the University.
Since the men in the service come from all walks of life, nearly any kind
of reading is acceptable. Books of science, preferably those published after 1935, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, literature, and others are especially wanted.
Only 25 books have been received at Watson library so far; these were all given by faculty members. Although the committee realizes that students usually haven't many books to spare, it feels that many students have at least one book which they could give. Any books, from the 25 cent pocket size to handsomely bound library volumes, are welcome. Students who wish to help the soldiers, sailors, and marines can turn in donations at the educational or periodical desks in Watson library.
Jayhawks Face Training Squad Tomorrow Night
By Clint Kanaga
"Phog" Allen's hot-and-cold Kansas Jayhawkers will receive their first acid test of the season when they tangle with the fancy, fast stepping Great Lakes Naval Training Station quintet at 8:45 o'clock tomorrow night in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.
The Navy team, boasting six former college All-Americans and seven more conference all-stars, has the phenomenal record of 19 triumphs in 21 starts. Victims of this star-studded aggregation's victory string are such touted teams as Notre Dame, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern, Butler, St. Joseph's, Nebraska, and Iowa State. The Great Lakes team has lost only to Ohio State and Michigan State.
Comparative Scores Are Even
A glance at comparative scores shows that the Sailors don't outclass the Allen-coached lads on any basis. Kansas won from Nebraska 51-32 and suffered its only defeat of the current season at the hands of Iowa State 45-41. Great Lakes downed Nebraska 50-40 and Iowa State 43-42. Another favorable comparison are results against Iowa U. The Hawkeye fell before Kansas 53-51 last Thursday and lost a week before to Ohio State (38-32 conqueror of Great Lakes) by a count of 54 to 52.
Kansas has chalked up nine wins in ten starts which rates on par with the Navy record. Among the more potent losers to the Jayhawks are Oklahoma, Iowa, and DePaul.
Indiana Stars Return
Leading the Great Lakes scoring attack is Frank Baumholtz. Baumholtz was given All-American his senior year in college when he led Ohio U. to the finals of the New York Invitational Tournament. Less than ten points behind Baumholtz in individual scoring for the Sailors is Bob Calihan, ex-Detroit All-American, Calihan tallied 332 points for Detroit his senior year, setting an all-time high for his school's records.

Sodas May Become Extinct
Cleveland—(UP) -The soda fountain- that production line of tantalizing concoctions and hangover cures is the latest American tradition to feel the blow of the war.
According to W. Walter Einhardt, general manager of a large chain of drug stores here, war rationing has already affected, and will affect even more, items which the customer has come to regard as necessities.
Carbonic acid gas, or carbon dioxide, from which carbonated water is made now, is being used widely in certain war industries.
The common "coke," for instance, will be drastically affected by the sugar shortage, according to Ehrhardt.
The syrups and flavorings used in Sodas and sundaes also will be less plentiful because of the sugar situation. Ehrhardt predicted.
The official also foresees rationing in the drug business itself, especially on drugs containing alcohol, formaldehyde and acetone. Mercury and quinine restrictions are certain, Ehrhardt said.
"If the normal demand for coke keeps up," the drug official said, "coca supply never will hold out."

Caution Urged In Waste Paper Salvage Drive
Philadelphia, —(UP)— Collecting waste paper is one of the services civilians can render to aid the war effort, but the National Committee on the Conservation of Cultural Resources warns that old papers in atlts, warehouses and business offices are not necessarily waste paper.
"In the last war, thousands of historical records were lost forever—not from action of bombs, shells or fire—but because pepole treated historical documents as waste paper," says William Reitzel, member of the Pennsylvania State Committee and director of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
"They bundled up files of old newspapers, they filled boxes with family letters, journals and papers and cleared them," he said. "City and county records were destroyed and birth and death records lost.

Final-Weary Students Relax Between Semesters
With only a little more than a weekend for a breathing spell between finals and the spring semester, K.U. men and women have struggled through the enrollment line, some confused and some amused by their resulting schedules.
The last two hazy weeks of finals have disappeared from the student's foggy minds that are already slowly being drowned under new assignments. The spring semester is off at full speed ahead with the steam whistle shouting out its hourly warning as regularly as ever.
Still, most of the final-weary made the most of the few-day vacation between semesters, going home to rest, tripping to the big cities for a change in atmosphere, or remaining on the Hill for their relaxation and partying.

Student Dogies On the Run
Many young things, trapped in the bull pen, pushed each other about in bewildered fashion Monday, then on Tuesday morning stamped in all directions, only to be roped by master's and doctor's degree cow-boys into new corrals. In the bull pen they had been branded with queer marks, such as, "Sophomore. Major: history."
So began a new semester. Now
A Dressy Suit For Spring Weather . . .

that yesterday and today have taken care of the beat-around-the-bush openings of courses, the little student dogies mentioned above once more will start hitting the books. The master's and doctor's degree cowboys had their fun at the recent final week round-up, and the dogies say that, come spring round-up, things will be different. Next time no maverick will feel like trampling a professorial cowboy under hoof because this time everyone will be a fine grade A dogie.
A suit with a gay plaid jacket and a plain skirt for contrast will be wonderful for the warm weather which is just around the corner. With a jaunty hat and matching gloves and purse, this outfit prepares the wearer to be "off to the races."
That's what's being said now. Doings at the various corrals—Snow, Marvin, Fraser, and Blake corrals, for example—will make the prediction either true or false.
And the little dogies run on and on in Jayhawk Gulch.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
The Kansas team which rolled up and down the court and above and beyond the ability of the Creighton Bluejays last night was the best looking team seen in Hoch auditorium in years. Phog Allen's cagers proved once again that they can rise to tremendous heights when necessary and topple the most vaunted foe.
Before the game the Kansan's rating as a basketball power in the midwest for this season was in a precarious position. Creighton on the other hand was really in the chips as a result of their smashing triumph over the "semi-pro" sailors from Great Lakes.
CREIGHTON'S FAST BREAK FAILED
Consequently Creighton entered the game a favorite of eight to ten points. Their main forte was considered to be a fast breaking offense which rolled in the baskets like a snow flurry. This system was employed again last night but with dire results.
Every time the Bluejays broke down the court there were two or three Kansans waiting for them and picked each man up before he reached the free throw line. Consequently when Gene Haldeman or Dick Nolan, two of the most frequent fast breakers, would reach the free throw line they would be forced to pitch a one-handed toss at the hoop or stop and attempt to set up a play.
This eventually proved to be the Nebraskan's downfall. As their fast break failed, so did their main offense. The guards then resorted to long shots and with surprisingly good results. Especially hot was Gene Hal德man who sank four goals on set shots from far out. Dick Nolan, Haldeman's running-mate at guard, also bagged four buckets but half of these were on drive-in shots.
The real surprise of the game as far as Creighton's offense was concerned was the sudden one-handed attack which Frank Hebenstreit started when he replaced Haldeman who fouled out with three and one-half minutes to play. Hebenstreit had not scored a single point during the entire season prior to last night's game. Upon replacing Haldeman he popped in a long one-hander from center court and with two minutes to play he swished through another one-hander from deep in the corner. Within 30 seconds Hebenstreit came down the court and potted another long one-hander from center court, making his third basket in two minutes of play. He shot three more in the last 90 seconds but all shots hit the rim and bounded away.
But to get back to Kansas' brilliant playing. Perhaps the outstanding feature of the game last night was the marvelous passing displayed by the Jayhawkers as they ran circles around their northern foes. No finer exhibitor of passing skill could be expected on any basketball court than the one which Ralph Miller pulled before the home crowd last night.
Tops in his passing performance occurred near the end of the first half when "Cappy" drove in for a set-up at the west end of the court. As he leaped to pitch the ball at the backboard, Haldeman jumped up to thwart his attempt. But instead of shooting Miller turned his wrist and passed the ball back over his shoulder to T. P. Hunter who was driving in from the corner. Hunter took one dribble and laid the ball into the basket for the first of his five baskets during the game.
Many times during the game did Kansas score just by the sheer cleverness of their ball handling. In fact, of the 21 Kansas goals, 10 of them were scored as a direct result of perfect passes from their teammates. Especially did this seem true in the last half at the east goal.
Johnny Buescher, who was making the ball perform antics all evening, was the chief coordinator with Miller. Together, they completely baffled the Creighton defense by their feints, passing, and shifty floorwork. Bisch came back to hit his stride as did Charlie Black. Both of the B's scored 11 points and played a good all-round game.
It remained for Black to almost set a record however. It was a purely personal matter with Charlie and one that he isn't too proud of at that. Last night he left the game after two minutes of the second half had been played. He played only $14\frac{1}{2}$ minutes during the first half for a total of $16\frac{1}{2}$ minutes. This was a minute longer than he played at Missouri. During the DePaul game Charlie left the court after three minutes of the second half had been played with four personals. The Kansas record for this year still remains with Marvin Sollenberger, veteran light-fouling guard, who was ejected from the Iowa State game after 18 minutes of the first half.
LANGER HELD TO 7 POINTS
Odds and ends: Creighton's first fast break failed when Ralph Langer, their high scoring forward, took steps. . . . Dr. E. R. Elbel got applause when he asked women to take off their hats. . . . Ed Beisser, the supposedly great Creighton center, was decidedly off form last night. . . . He shot all of his shots from a post position but hit only two out of nine. . . . Creighton was cold in the first half, making only 7 out of 32 shots, but Kansas made the same percentage, 21, on 9 goals out of 42 shots. . . . Charlie Black had nine points in the first half and got one more bucket before leaving the game. . . . Bisch got seven of his points the first half while Miller got only five of his. . . . The 31-point average Ralph Langer was held to 7 points by Ray Evans who made the same number for Kansas. . . . Evans' shooting dropped off last night but his floor game stayed up to its high standards.
Miller made one basket that didn't count. He took a high hook pass from Evans and dribbled in for a set-up but Hunter was fouled in the meantime in the center of the court and that decision took preference over the goal... Creighton got a free shot on a technical foul when Red Ettinger failed to report when he took Hunter's place with four and one-half minutes to play...
Kansans Pull Surprise
Creighton Bows,53-49 In Fast Tilt
Those unpredictable Jay hawkers came through again last night and played the game of basketball at its best as they won a close, but never-indoubt, victory over the Creighton Bluejays, 53 to 49, before 2,838 fans in Hoch auditorium.
Offensively no one player could be singled out as the star of the game, either for Kansas or Creighton, as the scoring was very evenly divided. Ralph Miller wound up on top for the Jayhawkers with five field goals and four three throws but he was closely followed by Charlie Black and Johnny Buescher who had four goals and three free throws each. T. P. Hunter, versatile senior substitute, came through with five field goals and Ray Evans completed the Kansas scoring with three buckets and one free throw. Haldeman Paces Bluejays
For Creighton Captain Gene Haldeman kept the Bluejays in the ball game at all times with his accurate long shots. He connected on four of these and with his four free throws led the Nebraska team's scoring. Ed Beisser, six foot six and one-half inch all-Missouri Valley center, was held to two field goals but dunked in five of nine free throws to total nine points. Dick Nolan, the former Ward High School star, showed streaks of flashy playing and was also good for four buckets.
Year's Best In Hoch
The game last night demonstrated the best basketball seen in Hoch auditorium this season. It wasn't the spine-tingler that the Kansas State game was nor was it anything like the walk-away Oklahoma game. But it was the fastest moving game of the year and the passing demonstrated throughout the game was a beauty to behold.

The Kansans refused to pick up the Creighton players as they made a fast break down the court. Instead the Jayhawkers nustled back to their defensive positions and were set in their places when the Bluejays advanced. This style of defense broke the effectiveness of Creighton's offense and they were forced to use set plays.
These set plays did not work because Kansas, with Charlie Black and T. P. Hunter doing the guarding, kept Beisser bottled up during most of the game. Creighton shot 64 times and made 18 goals for 28 per cent while Kansas connected on 21 out of 70 shots for a mark of 30 per cent.
Bluejays Score First
Creighton opened the scoring when Gene Haldeman converted a free throw after Black had fouled him in the first half minute. John Buescher then put Kansas into the lead with a side-swister at the two minute mark. Kansas never relinquished the lead after this score.
Charlie Black intercepted a Blue-jay pass five seconds later and dribbled the length of the court and the lead was there to stay. Goals by Black, Buescher, and Evans and free throws by Buescher, Black, and Miller hoisted the score to 13 to 4 with six and one-half minutes played.
Creighton picked up two free throws in a row by Beisser and Shearn and Beisser potted a post shot to make the score 16 to 8, Kansas, at the 10-minute mark. Buescher made the other three points for the Jayhawks.

Creighton rallied at this point to out-score the Kansans during the next 10 minutes. Langer cut loose with a one-handed overhead shot and Dick Nolan dribbed in for a set-up. Buescher and Black meanwhile picked up free throws.
Haldeman connected on a charity toss but turned around and fouled Evans who made the first of his two chances and on the second one Black tipped it in. He followed with a free throw for his ninth point in 14 and one-half minutes. Nolan dropped in a set shot for the Bluesjavs.
Kansas Builds Lead
Hunter then took Miller's beautiful pass for a set up and "Cappy" rolled one around the hoop five times before it finally fell in. Haldeman hit two straight set shots and interspersed these with a successful free throw.
The 11-point lead which Kansas held just before Haldeman's hot streak was the biggest lead of the game. The half ended 26 to 20 for Kansas.
The last half saw Creighton again outscore the Jayhawkers, 29 to 27, but the early lead built up by the Red and Blue brought victory. Miller and Black dunked in quick bas-

Basketball Set-Up In High Schools
By E. A. Thomas
Secretary, Kansas State High School Activities Association
The second half of the Kansas high school basketball season is under way and each week sees additional teams drop from the ranks of the undefeated. Newton lost its first Ark Valley league game last week, as well as its first game of the season. Ollie Thomas had his Winfield boys steamed up and they toppled the Railroaders. It is now a four-way race with Hutchinson and Arkansas City tinctly in the running.
Ernie Vanek seems to have his Topea Trojans on the way to better days and the clever game they flashed on the Wyandotte Bulldogs last week was too much for the Kansas City lads as they bowed to a team superior in speed, passing and shooting. El Dorado suffered the following night as the Bulldogs bounced back to take one easily from the Ark Valley squad.
Marysville Strong Again
Marysville Strong Again
Nobody seems to be able to remember when there were so many strong teams in the Northeast Kansas loop. The second division is dotted with teams which are better than first division aggregations of former years. Shawnee Mission lost its first league contest in the last 26 played when they bowed to Olathe and the latter improved its position noticeably by another league victory for the week over Atchison. Atchison in return downed the strong Rosedale team, so it is quite a race.
Marysville is having its own way in the North-Central Kansas circuit but in the Central Kansas league things are tough. The Salina Maroons lost to Chapman and on the rebound gave the league-leading Junction City Jaybirds a lambasting they will long remember, only to have the McPherson Bullpups drag the Maroons back into a second place tie. With Manhattan showing good form the outcome is considerably in doubt.
Dale Hall Leads Parsons
Dodge City, Garden City and Larned are making it a three-way race in the southwest Kansas league. The Dodge City boys broke a last minute tie to edge out the Larned boys and retain their undefeated status but this week they must go to Garden City for another heart-breaker.
The Southeast Kansas league is pretty well settled with everybody concealing the title to Bailey Rickets and his Parsons crew. Iola, Pittsburg and Chanute are the other first division teams who seem to be interested primarily in second place honors. Sabetha has a narrow margin in the Big Seven conference with Hiawatha close behind and Seaman, after losing to Osage City on the Seaman court last week is in for a battle to keep the league leadership. Russell is still on top in the Union Pacific league where they are playing high class basketball this season. Hays high turned back the strong Lyons team while the St. Joseph Cadets won from Cathedral of Wichita.
Halstead Shows Form
Fredonia has not lost a game in the Tri-Valley circuit but the Emporia Spartans came to town last Saturday night and gave the local boys their first setback of the season. Emporia and Ottawa are two ball clubs that have shown real improvement recently. Both with material considered to be first class were slow in getting started but recent victories indicate that Alfred Smith and Chet Daveport have their teams rolling now.
Thirty-four years ago a team of ranged youngsters from Halstead won the first state championship of Kansas. This year there is another band of Halstead boys who have their eyes on the state Class B title, and this will bring back fond memories to many an old timer in the little city made famous by the Country Doctor. The road will be a hard one and in the way there are such flashy teams as Sun City, Nickerson, Powhattan, the School for the Deaf, Arnold, Olivet, Reading and many others, but stranger things have happened and the prospect is pleasing just the same.
Nebraska Comes For Return Tilt
With three Big Six wins out of six starts to their credit, Nebraska's quintet meets Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's hustling Jayhawkers in a return engagement here Saturday
Earlier this season Kansas downed
Nebraska at Lincoln 51-32 in a game which was close till the Jayhawkers to lose with a scoring barrage in the waning minutes of the game. Scoring ace for the Huskers is 6 foot 4 inch Sid Held He has scored 155
SID HELD points so far this season in 15 games to average 10.3 points per game. With an 11 point per game average in the Big Six.
Allen Gains Three Frosh Loses Two
The freshman basketball squad returned to practice Monday, after two and one-half weeks of rest. Practice has been impossible due to enrollment activities in Robinson gymnasium and mid-year vacation.
The squad lost two men this semester, but the loss was more than made up when three new men reported for practice Monday. The two leaving the line-up were Ed Sayers and Walt Verbanic, both of Kansas City. New additions are Bill Palmer of Topeka, Dick Channell of Kansas City, and Bill Mowery of Salina.
Plans are being made to schedule several games with service teams from nearby army posts, Milt Allen, freshman coach, said today.
Dick Edwards Is Track Mainstau
With only six returning lettermen around which to build a team, coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss' Jayhawk track squad opens its indoor season against Kansas State here Saturday
Mainstay of this year's track team will be lanky Dick Edwards. The distances are his forte; he placed second in both the indoor and outdoor Big Six meets last year. This will make his third season on the varsity.
Don Pollom, a junior, won points for Kansas in the hurdles last season, and Hargiss is counting heavily on him in the dashes and hurdles this year. Fred Eberhardt is the Jayhawker's only returning quarter-miler. Hargiss is extending Eberhardt's distance to include the half mile, an event in which Kansas has no lettermen.
Running mate for Edwards will be Clarence Miller who has had experience on last season's team. He lettered as a member of this season's two mile队. Lettermen in the field events will be Jim Cordell, pole vaulter, and Ralph Schaake, weight man and high jumper.
To supplement his six veterans Hargiss is developing an inexperienced group of sophomores. In the dash Kenny Winters shows promise as do Leslie Breidental in the high jump and Jack Tenenbaum in the shot.

A slow-starting Newman I squad finally got to rolling last night to trounce Alpha Kappa Psi 58 to 28 in a Division II intramural basketball game.
Sparking a red-hot last quarter attack for the Newman's was Junius Penny, colorful forward. Penny garnered 20 points for the game, most of them in the last half.
Aiding Penny with the Newman scoring chores were Frank Heck and Frank Rengel with 17 and 8 points respectively. Cliff Nordstrom, veteran guard $ \textcircled{4} $
played a standout floor game for the winners.
Don Pomeroy led the Alpha Kappa Psi attack with nine points.
The Alpha Tau Omega squad with Don Williams and Dick Webb hitting the basket from all angles had no trouble in defeating the Tau Kappa Epsilon team 46 to 26. Oliver Bryan was high point man for the losers.
In a "C" team game the men of Phi Kappa Psi toyed with an overmatched Kappa Sigma quintet, winning 54 to 10. Bob Barton rang up 22 points for the Phi Psi's.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
One would imagine that group of 13 boys just back from a six-day basketball trip would have loads of interesting little bits to tell on their teammates or what the entire group did. But not this Jayhawker basketball squad. They all seemed too interested in what they were on the trip for—to win three basketball games.
And win three they did. The last two with surprising ease and the first one—well it was a "dog eat dog" affair as Charlie Black put it. The Iowans were plenty tough and never let up for a minutes.
BUESCHER WAS AT HOME
But the DePaul game was something different. Black and Johnny Buescher said that the DePaul crew was the toughest team they had ever faced for the first ten minutes. During that time they played ball like the professional teams of the East. Their passing was fancy and their floorwork was brilliant.
But the Jayhawks quickly adapted their style of play to that of DePaul and in the last ten minutes of the first half they broke the strength of the Blue Demons and went on to win handily. Even though the 20-point margin of victory was the largest registered on the trip, the entire team was of the opinion that DePaul was the best team they faced.
The trip to Chicago proved to be somewhat of an "old home week" for Buescher. As he is so quick to tell everyone, he comes from Beardstown, Ill., the state of "real" basketball players. While in Chicago he met several of his old teammates at Beardstown and other opponents from surrounding towns. Some of these players who attend Northwestern think that Otto Graham, the Wildcats star sophomore on the court as well as the gridiron, isn't as good as the papers say. They say that it is only logical that he makes the number of points he does for the great number of shots he takes.
A CLASH OF STYLES
Notes on the Jayhawk basketball trip, via Coach "Phog" Allen—With all kindness, the Big Ten teams say that Big Six quintets are the roughest they play, and in return our conference members say the same thing of the Big Ten. . . . This is mainly a matter of the two conferences playing different styles of ball and the two styles clashing. . . . Iowa U. played a slam-bang brand of ball and when Kansas adopted the same style in the second half, it carried them to victory. . . . T. P. Hunter, the "ultra-dependable," filled the hero role at Iowa, sinking four straight free throws when the chips were down. . . . "He has little to say, but much to do," is the description of Hunter given by Doctor Allen, who still talks in glowing terms of the rebound work T. P. did against Missouri here last year. . . . From Iowa City, the team moved on to Chicago for its game with DePaul.
The basketball banquet there was the biggest K.U. alumni banquet ever held in Chicago, according to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, who was in attendance. . . . The overflow crowd in the banquet room left no place for the Jayhawk players, who previously had been invited. . . . A large number of alumni attended the game also. . . . Among those in the crowd was Mrs. Glenn Cunningham, whose famous husband was unable to get away from his work for the game. . . . "It was our night and DePaul's off night," was Doctor Allen's comment on the smashing triumph the Jayhawks recorded. . . . "Amazing rebound work was the feature of Kansas' play," said Allen. . . . Ray Evans, sophomore guard, was given a good deal of the credit for the effectiveness of the Jayhawks' rebounding and his all-around play was described as "scintillating". . . . The squad boarded the train in Chicago at 9:30 Sunday morning and got into Wichita at 9:30 that evening. . . . An alumni banquet was held there Monday noon. . . . Guests at the banquet included players of both teams and Ray Graham, new Wichita football coach. . . . Against Wichita U. Miller played "perfect ball" in the words of Doctor Allen. . . . Ralph put on a great show, even better than the one by Howard Engleman at Wichita last year.

By ARTHUR L. PADDOCK
Iowa City, Iowa, Jan. 29— Iowa's first half outfit threw a scare into Phog Allen's Jayhawkers here tonight before some 5,000 bellowing fans and finally succumbed, 53-51.
The Kansans, slow to start, were behind at the half way point 29-25; but a tremendous splurge in the second half, where-in racehorse Ralph Miller dumped in nine points, carried the visitors to victory.
Big Ten Foe Falls to Kansas
Hed the vault At that the Hawkeyes nearly stole the show. Behind six points with eight minutes left, Iowa's offense began to roll again and principally behind firebrand Tommy Chapman who scored 15 markers. The Iowans crawled up to a 51-49, score with two minutes left.
With half a minute left, the same Chapman, a thorn in Phog's hide all night, was hacked by Johnny Buescher, who thereupon left by request and Iowa decided to put the ball in play at the sidelines. But the rangy Kansas defense was too much for Coach Rollie Williams' crew and Iowa died on a long heave by co-captain Vic Siegel that traveled three-fourths of the length of the court and missed the backboard.
If it can be said there were stars of tonight's performance, it can be said there were three—Chapman, Miller, and Umpire Parke Carroll, the baldish Kansas Citian, who brought the crowd to its feet repeatedly with objections to his officiating, which taken all in all was better than average.
Miller sent the Jays rolling in the second half. Coach Allen was as blue as his neat twill suit when his boys trucked back at half time, he was that angry. The visitors weren't using their height to gather rebounds. Aside from Miller, the brightest spot in Phog's cast was T.P. Hunter, a guard. Hunter's four free throws

Press box wags suggested that both teams might have been working out with Messrs. Gwinn Henry and Eddie Anderson, respective grid coaches. For much of the time, at least, three men were on the floor. Contact was exceedingly rough and 38 fouls were called, 19 of them against each team.

In fact, each team lost heavily through the four-person route. Vince Harsha and Milt Kuhl died out for Iowa and Miller and Beuscher, together with Hawkshaw Charles Black, went down that way for Kansas.
Iowa's fast break kept the big boys rolling during the first 20 minutes, but the Kansans' long passes and height tired the home boys. That, in essence, is the story of the battle.
Little "High-on-a-Wendy" Hill, Iowa forward, repeatedly stumped the tight Kansas "Preaching Colonel" defense with his tricky passing. Black was principally the Colonel: The Jays stationed three men across the back strip and one in the front, with the Colonel out there directing the defense and splitting Iowa guards.

More Math Students Needed, Says Chandler
H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education, has recently received more than 20 calls for mathematics teachers. Because of this shortage of mathematics and physical science instructors, Chandler suggests that interested students obtain at least a minor in these fields and prepare to teach them in conjunction with their major courses.

The KANSAN Comments...
Letters—to the Editor, or the Enemy?
We are all acquainted with the stories circulating the country of the innocent Japanese storekeepers in strategic locations, who at the proper moment don admiral's uniforms and become full-fledged members of the intelligence service. We have also heard of letters which passed the censor, only to be held over a candle's flame to reveal hidden messages in invisible ink. The old gold-headed cane trick is a time-tested method of smuggling intelligence through the lines to the enemy.
Our attention was called today to a new trick. A warning has been issued to editors, reporting that seemingly innocent letters and similar contributions to the eidtorial page are in reality the dastardly work of enemy aliens who by this means sneak messages out in code to rfiends who are in a position to use them to advantage. One Japanese is credited with having written a clever little poem, which when decoded, contained vital information.
To date, no such material has reached the editorial sanctums of the Kansan. In fact, no contributions have reached us at all. Unless you are an alien Japanese between the ages of 1 and 100, we will welcome your letters. The Kansan is a student paper, and we hope to maintain a close touch with student ideas, views, and attitudes. So, if you have any particular complaint to get off your chest; if you want to praise or criticize anyone or anything, send a letter to the editor.
Letters should be kept down to 100 words, and must be accompanied by the name of the writer. Your name will be withheld at your request but it is imperative that your letter be signed with your real name when it reaches us.
Where Are American Reinforcements?
It is now more than two months since the United States entered the war against Japan. With the notable exception of Douglas MacArthur, who has made a brilliant defense of the Philippines, United States seems to have done very little, in an offensive way, or in defense of her own interests.
After two months, MacArthur's small force on the Bataan peninsula is still fighting without reinforcements, or if they have arrived, they are singularly inefficient. The British are being beaten back to Singapore, and it appears certain that they cannot hold the city. The Japanese no woccupy Macassar in the Celebes, they have made advances into Borneo, they control the Malay peninsula, they have Kong Kong, Wake and Guam islands, and are now driving against Java and Sumatra.
The Dutch are perhaps more to be commended for their conduct in the Pacific than any other of the United Nations. With small forces they have defended their territory well, and have done effective sniping at Japanese shipping. With some reinforcement from the United States, they might well be the force which would turn the battle.
But there is no news of American reinforcements. United States and England are the two great powers of the United Nations. To date, most of the effective fighting has been done for England by the Australians, and for America by the Filipinos.
The average American sees by the papers that he must make sacrifices. He knows that
America's war-time production is perhaps the highest in history. He is confident that we will "whip the little yellow devils" because "our cause is just," because "United States is the most powerful nation in the world," or for similar reasons which make good conversation, but are horribly unconvincing when used to combat Japanese bombs and shells.
If we are producing; if we have an army and navy, why haven't the outnumbered, but valiant defenders of our Pacific bases been relieved? Obviously they haven't, because of the ease with which Japan has routed them in most sectors.
If something decisive isn't done soon, it may be too late to effect a victory in the Pacific. With the loss of Singapore, Java, and Sumatra, United Nations are left without any important bases nearer Japan than Hawaii or Australia. If we are to do any offensive work against the enemy, it is imperative that we preserve some of these bases.

Sigma Nu charm boy, Dean Ostrum, has grown a new accent for the benefit of his public. It is a cross between a cleft palate, a Polynesian lisp, and a backward fog horn, and works wonders with a date that is dying on its feet!
That loud, agonized series of sounds you heard one night last weekend in the Jayhawker was Becky Trembly. Losing her way in the catacombs, she missed those three important stairs onto the first balcony and made sound effects history.
Mr. Patterson gave his Medieval History class a realistic touch of the Dark Ages last Monday morning. In the cool of the dawn he walked into the room, already brightly lighted, and turned out all the lights. He bumped into a chair or two, thought better of it, and returned his thirty odd and astonished students to the light of modernism.

Howard Hamilton, D.U.-about-to-be-in-the army, has a bad impression of the army and vice versa. He went to Ft. Riley last week to take that necessary physical exam, and upon becoming hungry around noontime, was told that he might eat his luncheon in one of the mess halls.
He found a convenient line of hungry looking men, and followed them up to the logical conclusion of a meal. Once seated, however, he noticed an air of strain, bordering upon actual antagonism. Finally his neighbor turned to him and asked coldly, "Are you supposed to be here?"
"Well," gulped Howard, "they told me to find a mess hall."
"It just so happens," said the abundantly striped gentleman on his left, "that this is the officers' mess."

Army Presents Openings For Skilled Students
The position of the student in war time has come to be of primary importance to college men since the entry of the United States into the present conflict and the resultant lowering of the draft age to 20 years.
In an attempt to inform college students of the positions in which they might best serve their country, the Vocational Guidance Committee under the chairmanship of Prof. P. W. Viesselman, of the School of Law, made inquiry of 24 branches of the military, naval, and other defense services with respect to three questions; whether college students or graduates were eligible for appointment in such services direct from civilian life; what specific courses or lines of training each of these departments would recommend prior to appointment or enlistment therein; whether officers' training schools or schools of technical instruction of selectees or enlisted men are maintained by such departments. Army Branches Reply
In response to these inquiries a number of the branches of the army have furnished the programs for officer's training schools including infantry, cavalry, coast and field artillery, aviation, quartermaster's transport school, chemical warfare service and ordinance corps. As a rule, each of these training schools require a preliminary period of service as an enlisted man or selectee before entrance to such training course. Similar material has been received from the Bureau of Navigation, Surgeon General's office, Bureau of Yards and Docks, and Bureau of Ordinance of the Navy. Details of the requirements for these training schools and further information on these branches of the service can be obtained at the Registrar's office.
Specific suggestions as to college courses to be pursued prior to entry into the military or naval service
have been received from the Chief of the Field Artillery, Colonel Rex W. Beasley, and the Surgeon-General of the Navy, Rear Admiral Ross T. Mc-Intire.
Recommendations for training that would be of help to the student if assigned to the field artillery under the Selective Service Act, are, according to Col. Beasley:
1. A thorough grounding in college mathematics, including algebra, plane and solid geometry, coordinate geometry, plane trigonometry, use of logarithms. Accuracy in computation should be stressed, and facility in mental operations encouraged.
2. English, particularly the ability to express ideas clearly and concisely.
3. Plane surveying; use of the slide rule; basic physics, including elementary electricity; theory of radio; radio repair and service; basic automotive engineering; and application of aerial photography.
4. Knowledge of modern foreign languages, particularly German, Italian, Russian, Spanish Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese.

Jayhawk Road Trip Adds Two Victories
DE PAUL
Paced by a four-star offensive, the Jayhawks rolled to an over-whelming 46 to 26 victory over a highly-touted DePaul five in the second game on their road trip. The game was played Saturday night in the Chicago stadium.
The game was tough and close for the first ten minutes as each team displayed top-notch basketball ability. At that point however the Jayhawks started to roll and had gained a 20 to 12 lead by halftime.
Black Goes Out Early
Charlie Black was the first half offensive threat as he racked up three field goals and four free throws. Ralph Miller came through with five points to aid in establishing the lead.
The second half was an entirely different story, at least in the individual scoring department. Black scored only one basket before being ejected from the game with only three minutes gone on his fourth personal foul. Miller took over at this point as far as the forwards were concerned but he was joined by center Johnny Buescher and guard Ray Evans. Each of these three Jayhawks tallied four baskets in the last half as they administered to DePaul one of it's worst defeats of the season.
Midway in the second half the Kansans ran the score to 40 while holding DePaul down to 20. In a few minutes after the 46-total had been reached Coach Allen took out his starting five and used the entire squad except Charlie Walker. Walker was unable to play because his glasses had been knocked off and broken just before the game.
Scoring for the Kansas five was well distributed with only the starting team breaking into the scoring column. Miller's 13 points were high but he was closely followed by Black with 12, Buescher with 10, and Evans with 9.
WICHITA
It was strictly a one-man show at Wichita Monday night as Ralph Miller plunked 30 points through the basket as Kansas whipped the Wichita University Wheatshockers 56 to 37.
The game was unspectacular except for Miller's scoring feat but that in itself was a privilege to watch. "Cappy" started the activities with a two-handed swisher from the side and then followed with a pull-shot on a lay-in under the basket. Baskets From All Angles
From that point the game was distinctly Miller's. He scored 10 of the Jayhawks first 14 points and seemed to be able to score at any time he pleased. His shots ranged from high arch shots from the center of the court to several short baskets which he made on lay-ins after out-maneuvering the Shocker guards.
Baskets From All Angles
The second half was a repetition of the first in nearly every detail. The Jayhawkers increased their 10-point lead slowly but were always in complete command of the game. Another nine points were added to the Jayhawk advantage.
Ray Evans and Charlie Black scored four points each to help augment Miller's 12 and bring the entire Kansas total to 26 at halftime compared with Wichita's 16.
A New Record For "Cappy"
As for Miller, he sparkled even brighter in the last 20 minutes. He played for 17 minutes and chalked up six more field goals along with two free throws to give him a 26-point total when taken out of the game. He was sent back in within 40 seconds and pushed through the hoop two more buckets to break all existing Kansas records for individual scoring in one game.
His 30 points eclipsed Howard Engleman's mark of 27 points set against Oklahoma in 1939.

4-Year Course To Be Offered In Therapy
This semester the University is opening to women students a new four year course that will lead toward a Bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy. Prof. Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department of design, will be the adviser for the course. At present five students are enrolled in the course. They are Vivan McBeth, Fauline Rankin, Mary Lou Nelson, Syble McDonald, and Harriet Kizler.
Occupational Therapy was established and used on a wide scale following the World War as an aid to recovery and a guide to vocational rehabilitation of wounded or disabled service men. It is a profession closely allied with medicine nursing, physical therapy, and social service. It uses handcrafts, recreational and educational activities as treatment, prescribed by physicians and administered by trained therapists to hasten the recovery from disease, injury, or mental sickness.
The course of study will consist of three years at the University, one year and one summer at the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City. There are only five schools in the United States from which a registered degree in therapy may be obtained. These schools state that there are about twice as many positions for trained therapists as there are graduates each year.
Latin-Americans In Army Flying
Olympia, Wash.—A dozen Latin- American aviation cadets, part of 500 youths being trained as instructors of United States aviation methods, find themselves quite busy these days.
Besides training at the Olympia airport, they are digging into the mysteries of American slang and food. On the side, they have altered considerably the prevailing impression of the "South American Way."
Several bear non-Latin names, and all speak English well. For the most part, they don't match the movie conception of a Latin-American. All of them constantly run into oddities of life in the United States—such as drinking coffee.
"We drink just a little coffee—just a little cup, very black and very strong," said a Brazilian, Ulysses Segul. "Here you drink coffee all the time—with cream in it."
Others commented on the sweet salads and the custom of serving jelly with meat. The Argentine delegation missed "beefsteak on horseback" an Argentine steak on which an egg has been broken while it broils.
The twelve cadets include two from Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina, and one each from Panama, Petu, Uruguay and Venezuela. They are part of more than 500 Latin-American youths to be sent to this country for training as instructors.
They were not told where they would be sent, and almost immediately on their arrival in New York were sped across the continent to Olympia. Here, they were put into uniforms and took their first flying lessons.

Late Nites, Cold Days New to Costa Rican Coed
Aita Ramirez, new student Rica, caused quite a furor when day. Mrs. Alma Brook, house m and Aita understood very little Frances Butterfield and Dorothy bin, were found to speak Aita's ginning of University life for Caitheo Sargo, Costa Rica.
Dr. Dwight W. Bollinger, Spanish professor at Washburn University, is Aita's sponsor here. She became acquainted with him when he spent a year doing research work in Costa Rica, and he helped her to secure a scholarship. She arrived last week to enroll in special work in the School of Fine Arts.
Although Aita has been here for only a few days she has some rather definite impressions of college life. "Students stay up so late," she remarked. "I prefer to go to bed earlier, and get up sooner." The cold weather seems unusually severe to her as she had never before been in a climate cold enough to require a heavy coat.
She is having many new experiences in eating. Foods here are quite different from those to which she is accustomed. French toast, French fried potatoes, and peanut butter rank high with her, however.
University's "Comanche' In Jayhawker Film
The rapidity with which she is becoming acclimated to Kansas weather and life is amazing. Her home is on the central plateau of Costa Rica, and from the town of Caitneo Sango, a volcano, Trazel, is visible. Changing from a tropical country, subject to mild earthquakes, to winter in a rather severe climate, with strange food, a foreign language, late hours

The Jayhawker's picture Sunday through Wednesday "They Died With Their Boots On" starring Errol Flynn and Olivia deHaviland, is the life story of General George Armstrong Custer and includes that famous battle of the Little Big Horn known as Custer's Last Stand.
The only living survivor of that battle was the horse Comanche. He is now mounted in Dyke Museum at the University. Comanche was not a fancy horse, but a substantial and hardy animal well suited to the cavalry service of that day. His first army service was in Ellis, Kansas, where he was to do his part in the campaign to quell the Comanche Indians who had been making murderous forays against the white settlers of the Southwest. In his first baptism of fire he proved himself of stoclical behavior while under fire and wounded as he was in that first battle.
In his last battle at the Little Big Horn he was wounded seven times and was left by the Indians because he was nearly gone. However after the battle had cleared he was found by some cavalry units and he was taken to Fort Abraham Lincoln where he received an honor never before accorded an animal in our military history "a special and comfortable stall be fitted up for him," and that he not be ridden by any person whatsoever under any circumstances, nor be put to any kind of work, and upon all occasions of ceremony (of mounted regimental formation), Comanche saddled, bridled, draped in mourning, and led by a mounted trooper of Troop I.
and a bewildering number of unfamiliar faces, all would present a formidable barrier to any new student.
There are two things Aita has in common with all other college students—her love of music and dancing. At a house party recently she found that though she could not understand everything that was said, dance music and friendly smiles mean the same in every language.

The KANSAN Comments...
The Whistle Again
A familiar gesture beckons us; once again we, as students of the University, respond to the call to classes, most of us thankful for the opportunity, too. Millions of young men and women in other parts of the world are denied the advantages of higher education; but perhaps some of us here in America fail to appreciate its full value.
Education is priceless; once attained, it can never be pilfered. It isn't something we can shop around for; it isn't something that we can put off getting until tomorrow. For many the chance comes only once.
It is folly to shun the classroom because we are in war—because "we'll probably be sent off somewhere to become cannon fodder, anyway." Now, more than ever, we need youths with college training. Instead of relaxing, the college youth of America must exert even more pressure with shoulders "to the wheel."
Let's be earnest. Let's take a real interest in our classes, and remember that by doing so we are doing our part in furthering this country's chances toward winning the conflict. It will be a clever nation that comes out of this fray victoriously. We understand that nation to be the United States. Let's protect ourselves and thereby protect the nation by waging the battlle for education.
Money for Defense
In normal times, citizens of the United States fall prey to the schemes of a surprising number of enterprising swindlers. In war times, such swindlers find even greener pastures, what with everyone with a loose dime eager to contribute it to some institution which he considers charitable, and the human urge to increase dividends painlessly.
College students,protected by a slender budget,are not as easily taken in by racketeers as are their parents,but by way of warning, here are some rackets recently exposed.
One of the most recent of conception, and one of the most contemptible, because of its implied patriotism, is the defense stamp chainletter. Innocent victims are lured into mailing 25-cent defense stamps to people they never heard of, by friends who never heard of the recipient, either. The victim is assured that he will, providing the chain is not broken, receive some $750 for his outlay of 25 cents. Barring the economic impossibility of such a scheme, it is inconceivable that the chain could long remain unbroken. This racket has been, despite self-borne information to the contrary, condemned by postal authorities.
In war times, people look forward with apprehension to the period which will follow, and the old age pension swindle comes into undue prominence. Certain unscrupulous organizations comb the land seeking $1 memberships from elderly people who hope for increased pensions. The organization in question has no means for increasing any individual pension, and makes a living for its shady backers by taking advantage of aged persons who fear for their future security.
With the coming of pre-war defense production, came the defense contract chiselers. These sterling patriots promised producers to secure contracts on a fee basis. Of course, they were and are crooked, because Army and Navy contractors must guarantee they hired no one to solicit the contract on a commission basis.
These are only three examples of rackets including such time-tested money-makers as the ancient confidence game, the unlicensed travel agency, the territory right scheme, the illegitimate clothing salesman, and others of the same unsavory ilk which has plagued us for years.
Cash is becoming increasingly elusive, and costs of living are mounting steadily. The government needs all and any support it can get beyond taxation. It is imperative that we be not deluded by grafters.
People in the east want their sugar, it would seem. Two New Jersey customers in a restaurant were denied a second spoonful of sugar for their coffee, so they pitched the waiter through a plate glass window, knocking the restaurant manager unconscious and giving the grand jury one more thing to do.
We'll bet World War I veterans have wholesome scorn for the Fort Monroe sergeant who, when fumbling through his pockets for some papers needed to address a formation of soldiers, dislodged and dropped two lollipops.

Enrollment vignettes: King Lear of the College office slowly going mad as she explains to a truulent sophomore that he has to be a sophomore to take sophomore subjects. . . . And who was the beglamoured one who gave atmosphere to the whole thing in a mink coat, a hat with a veil and one perfect orchid? . . . Dean Paul B. Lawson, facing an incipient bottleneck, as he tries to clear the pen at noon, by rapping gently on the table with an Eberhardt Medium Hard lead pencil.
Harking back to Final Week, two particularly sordid instances have come to mind:
'Mole' Foster, Phi Psi pledge, slept through a very large and important final one chill morning, because pledge brother Jules MacKallor who was supposed to call him at Final time, had already left Lawrence early that morning to hitch-hike home to regain his health.
The next morning at breakfast, some of the actives were congratulating Don on the fact that he had not had to answer the phones all evening.
Out in West Hills, the D.U.'s report a striking instance of Freshman ingenuity. It was Don Fink's duty as a baby D.U. to answer all the phones one evening during Final Week. From eight until well after midnight, the D.U. phone was inarticulate and quiet fell in huge chunks all over the D.U. house.
"Oh I arranged all that beforehand," explained the Fearless Fink. "I just called the operator and told her not to put any calls through to our house." Add famous last words.
Sigma Chi Jack Doolittle played a famous one night stand down at the Crystal a couple of nights ago. Doolittle, it seems, is the type who takes his drama seriously and the "Wolf Man" made a deep and lasting impression upon him. Not only the general clientele but a few passers by are now wondering who the gentleman was who was playing 'spookypuss' with such mad abandon in Russell Atha's car.
Pratt, Kansas is still rocking with the great social faux pas which Phi Delt Bud Weir pulled between semesters. Bud went home with Thad Robbins to Peaceful Pratt to rest up a bit. Awaking one morning, and finding himself null and void of money, Bud went downtown to cash a check, which was all right in itself. But the horrible part of it all is that Bud took his business to Pratt's other bank, the one that is NOT owned by Thad's immediate family.
Groundhog Goes Riding On Horns of a Dilemma
Ed. Note—This story is printed with sincere apologies to Thornton W. Burgess, author of "Little Stories for Bedtime", the U. S. Weather Bureau, and anyone who thinks literature is one of the fine arts.
and a late cold spring would follow; if not, he would stay outdoors and the mild weather would come early.
Mr. Groundhog paced restlessly up and down in his warm little burrow. His eyes, usually bright and beady, were sunk far back in his head, and his drawn expression told a silently eloquent story of many a sleepless night.
You see, Mr. Groundhog is a lover of tradition, and what is more, a patriot. And it has been a long-standing tradition that on the second day of February of every year he comes out of his burrow to see if the sun in shining brightly enough for him to cast a shadow. If it is, he would scamper back into his home,
Things Are Different
This annual ceremony used to be a lot of fun for Mr. Groundhog, for he was a born show-off and loved to pose for the newspaper cameramen and reporters. But now a war was raging in some distant land, and the echoes of conflict had worked their way even into the burrow of Mr. Groundhog. The American government had clamped down restrictions on weather reports, for the enemy is interested in weather conditions all over the world. How could Mr. G. make his prediction and still not give aid and comfort to the enemy?
The enemy was hiding in the Big Woods, at least some of them were. The little fellow had seen them. He knew most of the newspapermen, and liked them, but not these three men—the big man with the close-cropped hair, and the dark-skinned man who followed at his heels like a well-trained dog, and the yellow-skinned man who was always standing in a gopher hole. The trio watched Mr. Groundhog's home consistently, and he knew that they were waiting for the big moment.
What to do? Tradition meant a lot to Mr. Groundhog, and it meant even more to the people outside the Big Woods. But this business of giving aid and comfort to the enemy won't do at all. Then all of a sudden the little creature's furry shoulders straightened; he stopped pacing; an enigmatic smile crossed his lips, and the life came back into his eyes for the first time in weeks.
**
Outside, not very well hidden in the bushes were the newspapermen. The fat chap with the Speed Graphic glanced upward and adjusted the lens opening on his camera. Not too much sunlight, but probably enough to make the little so-and-so cast a shadow. The reporter licked nervously at the point of his pencil. Just about eleven o'clock; the groundshould come out pretty soon. And in some bushes not far away, the three strange men watched, motionless. Mr. G. Goes to Town
Then Mr. Groundhog poked his stubby nose out of the burrow. His black forefeet dug into the leaves and dirt at the entrance, and he pulled himself out into the open. The light hurt his eyes for just a moment, but he could see the people

Interview For Marine Training
Lieut. Paul E. Smith, United States Marine Corps recruiting officer, today interviewed students interested in becoming commissioned officers in that branch of the service in room 225 Frank Strong hall.
In March another recruiting officer, accompanied by a medical examining officer, will be on the campus to obtain enlistments. Qualified applicants within the assigned quotas are enlisted in the Marine corps reserve for four years but must sign an agreement that they may be held for the duration of the war. The men so enlisted are appointed privates first class, and placed on inactive status until they finish their education.
Students interested in seeing the officer may make application for an interview at the office of James K. Hitt, assistant registrar.
The Marine Corps has allowed the University of Kansas a quota of 22 men, in comparison with 20 from the University of Wichita and 19 from Kansas State College.
Social Path Class Looks To Kansas City Field Trip
The students in the first semester's social pathology class under the direction of Miss Mabel A. Elliott associate professor of sociology, will take a field trip to Kansas City Saturday morning.
The group will leave Lawrence at 8 o'clock. Arriving in Kansas City they will go directly to the Provident Association where William T Kirk, executive director of the association, will talk to them on regular family case work, work with colored persons, and work with special agencies.
The class will visit St. Joseph's Children's Home; the Urban League, a welfare agency for colored people; and the Helping Hand Institution, which is one of the best known organizations in the United States dealing with homeless and unemployed men. The group will also visit a settlement house.
Students who are interested in going but were not in the class should see Miss Elliott as there are several vacancies in cars making the trip.

Before the war, Mrs. Nessly attended several Kava ceremonies and native feasts. The most memorable of the latter was one held after a wedding. "It looked like something from a movie—but it was really authentic. The food served on banana leaves was native—seared but uncooked chicken, baked taro, breadfruit, and bananas."
In camp Mrs. Nessly, the youngest member, was called "Aunt Julie" by the numerous children. There were only 11 marine wives.
"Oh, there was fun and plenty of it before the war, but since then it hasn't been. Anyway, it's nice being back," Mrs. Nessly concluded as she fumbled with a "new-fangled" cigarette machine. "Guess I've been out of circulation. I'm not used to modern things like this. Samoa didn't have 'em."

Streamline, Modernize Fowler Shops For Space
Fewler Shops have undergone a thorough cleaning since classes started last September. Equipment has been modernized and the interior has been brightened by painting.
Paul G. Hausman, now in charge of the shops, said, "We are reorganizing the shops for more space and freedom, and to
"We intend to modernize as much as possible."
At the present time nine machines have been motorized, and the plan is to motorize all equipment. Each unit will have a separate motor. This will obluminate overhead belts, shafts, and pulleys which are now necessary to run the machinery. All machines are to be designed and built by the students in the shops.
The machine shop, welding shop, and the foundry have been repainted.
Move Welding Shop
In the welding shop the heat-treating furnace has been moved to a new location, and a new tool and stock room has been built. New welding booths have been built by the students.
The next project planned for the welding shop is a ventilation system.
All welding machines have been rewired so that the wires run underneath the floor and are not in the way of workers. A new D.C. welding machine has been secured. Order New Machinery
The foundry equipment has been moved and rebuilt to insure more space.
Machinery in the pattern shop has been repainted and rebuilt. New saws, an electric sanding machine, end an electric carver have been ordered.
Reservoirs on Wheels
Randolph, Vt. — (UP) — Firemen now carry their own water to battle blazes in isolated regions around here. The Randolph department now owns three trucks, each of which carries 700 gallons of water.
Slot Machines Pay Off
Concord, N.H. — (UP) — Carroll county authorities hit the jackpot when they confiscated 45 slot-machines containing $921 which went into the county treasury. The machines were valued at $2,500 .
An exhibition of wood sculpture circulated by the American Federation of Arts, and sponsored by the department of drawing and painting is now on display in Speoon were selected by Duncan Ferguson, ex-Thayer museum. The 32 pieces head of the fine arts department of Louisiana State University.

Also on display are 31 pictures circulated by the California Water Color Society.
GROUNDHOG----
(continued from page six) watching him ever so closely. Then he looked down at the ground and saw his shadow. And then Mr. Groundhog just sat down in the middle of the clearing.
When they were gone, Mr. Groundhog turned to where the newspapermen were hiding, winked slowly and impressively, then turned and ran back into his house.
Off in the bushes, the reporter looked on amazed, gasped "What the hell?" The Speed Graphic trembled in the hands of the cameraman, whose usually steady trigger finger was shaking. And in the other bushes, the big man was leafing through a thick book. "Gott in Himmel," he was saying to the other men, "the book says that if Herr Groundhog sees his shadow, back into the hole he goes. But he sees his shadow and still there he sits. Just a tool of the dirty Jewish capitalists, and a typical product of decadent democracy. Let's go." And off he went with the two men following him.

'Harlem Express' Here for Prom
NUMBER 83
May Study Air Office Work TWA Course Looms Near
The possibility that Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., will sponsor a course at the University providing instruction for women in the personnel and office work of large airplane companies became evident today.
Georgia Ferrel, college junior and president of the local chapter of the Women's National Aeronautical Association, and Edward E. Brush, associate $ ^{2} $
Edward E. Brush, associate professor of aeronautical engineering, are expected to confer with T.W.A. officials in Kansas City Saturday on the possibility of instituting the course in the University schedule the second semester of next year. The course would probably require enrollment and not give credit.
Although the course is intended primarily for women, Miss Ferrel
Slate Is Set For Finals In Speech Contest
Subjects of the roundtable discussion over KFKU last night was "Federation in the Post-War World." W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, was chairman, and the speakers were R. M. Davis, professor of law; E. C. Buehler, professor of speech; and H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division.
Eight students were selected at the campus problem speaking contess tryouts last night in the little theater of Green hall to participate in the finals of the contest at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser theater.
said that men would be allowed to enroll. The class would be a partial solution to the problem that lack of such office and management workers has created in the large airplane factories. A similar course is being successfully conducted now at Stephens College for women at Columbia, Mo.
Each contestant in the tryouts gave a four minute speech on a campus problem. Judges were James Barton, instructor of speech; Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech; and Miss Margaret Anderson, associate professor of speech.
Students who will present speeches in the finals are Laird Campbell, Jean Fisher, Arthur Nelson, Dwayne Oglesby, Jack Parker, John Scurlock, John Waggoner, and Maxine Walker.
Judges for the final contest will be Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama; E. C. Buehler, professor of speech; and Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama.
Discuss Post-War World
A silver cup will be presented to the winner of the final contest by the Women's Self-Governing Association and the Men's Student Council. Activity tickets will admit students to the final contest.
Both T. W. A. and Chancellor Deane W. Malot are in favor of the proposition, Miss Ferrel added.

Test Airplane Engines in Lab Under Stadium
A new laboratory for testing airplane engines up to 500 horsepower is under construction in the wind tunnel of the stadium. Edward E. Brush, associate professor of aeronautical engineering, revealed today.
The laboratory, located in the west side of the stadium, has completed floors and the heating facilities are to be put in this week. The entire laboratory is expected to be completed within two or three weeks.
Contestants can write on any subject concerning Custer's last stand. Commanche, the only survivor of the battle of the Little Big Horn, and now mounted in Dyche museum, has been suggested as one topic with which essays might deal.
Several students are working on installation of a Continental engine just bought for classwork there. John L. Harkness is working on the engine mount; Eugene Nelson, on the instrument installation; W. A. Franklin, on designing the fuel system.
10 Jayhawker theater tickets, second prize, 8 tickets; third prize, 6 tickets.

Haskell Institute is also sponsoring a Custer essay contest with the deadline for entries also set for Friday. After results of both contests have been decided, the winning papers from both Haskell and K.U. will be published in the Kansan as a comparison of the points of view of the red man and the white man with regard to a battle in which their ancestors fought against each other.
Only 24 hours remain for Hill essayists to enter the Daily Kansan's essay contest on "Custer's Last Stand." Entries must be 300 words or less in length and written on contest blank which may be obtained in the Kansan newsroom or at the K.U. news bureau.

Melvin On 'Peace Of Versailles'
Dr. F. E. Melvin, associate professor of history, will speak tonight in Fraser theater, offering the second lecture in the World at War class series. Dr. Melvin's subject will be "The Peace of Versailles: Its Importance Past and Present."
"The majority of persons accept the mythical facts of the situation and so become confused as to the actual truths involved. It is also very true that most persons do not realize the great difference between the peace and the treaty of Versailles—and there is a very great difference.
"My primary purpose will be to endeavor to aid the class in distinguishing between the factual and the mythical points concerning the Versailles peace and the treaty of Versailles," said Dr. Melvin as he commented on his subject today.
"I if I am successful in clearing up these myths from the minds of the class, I shall feel very justly compensated," he concluded.
The lecture will begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock.
to be a favorite with the swing fans all over the country. His band has set three all-time records for attendance in Harlem, the capital city of hot music.
Critical reviews of the nation's hot colored bands have rated Lunceford's as "big name," but have commented that he plays more in the style of other well-known bands than in a strictly individual style. A few of the well-known bandsters themselves disagree with this, however.
Lunceford, who holds a private pilot's license, is one of the four top band leaders to wear gold wings, symbol of the license on his tuxedo lapels. He is considered one of the most intelligent bandleaders in the country, being an honor graduate of Fisk University and a former professor of English.
Europe Hailed Jimmy
Two years ago the band made a tour of Europe, giving the people of the old countries a good idea of American swing. He is referred to by musical men as "the man Europe will never forget."
Hill students who are familiar with the Luneford "school of Jazz-nochracy" already know his style. For several years his records have been among the most popular on nickelodeons in campus hangouts. Called "Big Name"
In the K-book the Junior Prom is slated for Saturday night, Feb. 28. In order to secure the swingable Lunceford band, it was necessary to advance the date one day, Dance Manager Burdge explained.
Six K-Book Staff Positions Are Open
All juniors who wish to apply for the positions of manager or editor of the 1942-43 K-Book should take their applications to Charles F. McCreight, chairman of K-Book committee, or to the business office on or before Feb. 16.
Sophomores will be selected to fill the two assistant manager and two assistant editor positions. Assistants are given preference in the selection of the manager and the editor for the following year.

Allen Will Make He-Men For Defense
In line with a request of the government that colleges step up their physical education programs to increase the number of men physically fit for service, the University will present a course in physical conditioning under the direction of Dr. Forrest C. Allen, to begin next week.
The physical conditioning program as planned by Doctor Allen and administrative officials will be for the benefit both of students and faculty members.
As the first step in the conditioning course, physical examinations will be given all those taking part. This will be done at Watkins Memorial hospital under the direction of Dr. R. I. Canuteson.
Any remediable physical defects or weaknesses that are disclosed in those examinations w ill be given special attention in the conditioning course in an effort to correct them. Individual work will be stressed in the course.
College Credit Given
Students enrolled in the physical conditioning course will get regular college credit. Plans are to hold the class three times a week, from 3:30 to 4:30 o'clock, Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon.
Doctor Allen will be assisted in the course by Henry Shenk of the physical education department. Shenk will supervise the class at

any times that Allen's basketball coaching duties may keep him away.
"We want he-men in our group, who are willing to put out in a big way," says Doctor Allen. "They may not be in tip-top physical shape now, but we will get them there by building up gradually, if they will put out the affair."
Learn to Walk
Ability to walk distances without fatigue will be one objective of the physical conditioning course. Doctor Allen points out that with automobile tires and tubes being rationed and gasoline being needed by the armed forces, civilians can use the ability to walk without tiring to good advantage.
"A student who desires an officer's commission rather than a private's ranking will have a considerable advantage if he is rigorously and physically fit," reminds Allen. It takes 14 civilian workers in defense activities to keep one fighter in action. In regard to this, Allen says, "Defense is rapidly changing to offense and with superb physical fitness, the nation at home will support the greatest Yank fighting Army of all time."

Andres, who performed for the Hoosiers three years ahead of Menke, hung up the Big Ten individual scoring record at 31 points in his final game, but the mark has since been shattered by Bill Hapac of Illinois. Menke, among the first five scorers of the Big Ten for three years, teamed up with Cleary, Huffman, Dro, and Armstrong to crush Kansas 60-42 two years ago in the finals of the N.C.A.A.
Lobsiger Is Familiar Sight
The other two All-Americans are Johnny Adams, formerly of Arkansas, and Lee Huber, ex-Kentucky great. Adams, who averaged better than 20 points per game for the Razorbacks, is famed for his two-handed jump shot. Huber, standing $6^{4}$', was a member of the Chicago Herald-American All-Star team, after completing a brilliant cage career at Kentucky.

39th YEAR
Hill Clocks Will Have Faces Lifted
Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced this morning that on Monday morning, Feb. 9, at 2 a.m., the University of Kansas will follow the rest of the nation in setting clocks up one hour.
"This University will act in accord with the request of the governor of the state and with the enactment of Congress regarding the new daylight sav- $ ^{4}$
ing time schedule," Chancellor Malott said.
The office of C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, indicated that University clocks will be set up one hour at the designated time, 2 a.m. Monday.
Hawks vs. Navy
200 to Game
The combined efforts of the basketball squad, the University band, and a large rocoting section of enthusiastic supopters will be directed to sinking the Great Lakes Naval Training Station five when tonight's game is played in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium at 8:45 o'clock.
Two hundred tickets have been sold at the Athletic office, Earl L. Falkenstein, financial secretary to the Athletic Association said today, and many more from K. U. are expected to attend the game. The Jay Janes have chartered a bus and will leave the Memorial Union building at 7 p.m. for Kansas City.
Cheerleaders, Jay Janes, and band will be on hand to lead the numerous University fans and students in cheering for the team, freshly returned from a victorious 3-game road trip.
Billy Sears, fine arts sophomore, will give an exhibition of baton twirling, and Cy Perkins will give his hill-billy and cowboy impersonations. There will be bridge for those who do not care to dance.
Money from Dance To Buy Yarn For Bundle Knitters
Plans for a Bundles for America dance to be held in the Crystal room of the Hotel Eldridge at 8:30 tomorrow night were announced by Mrs. F. J. Moreau chairman of the Bundles committee. Admission will be $1 a couple and the proceeds will be used in buying yarn to make garments for the men in the Army and Navy. Shaving and sewing kits for the men in service will also be purchased.
Clayton Harbur and his band are offering their services and the Hotel Eldridge has donated the use of the Crystal room. Tickets are on sale at Brick's, the Blue Mill, and the Hotel Eldridge.
New Bundles Group Retains Old Directors
In a short meeting held during W.S.G.A. tea yesterday afternoon, a representative group of Hill women decided that the University organization of the Bundles for America would continue under the same direction as before. Mrs. C. J. Posey will act as general chairman, Mrs. Lewis Young and Mrs. Will Johns, Jr., as heads of the committees. The group will work in conjunction with downtown chairman Mrs. F. J. Moreau.
Cleared up in the meeting also was the apparent contradiction in the organization's work shown recently by newspapers. A letter from Mrs.Wales Latham, national president, explained the set-up. Receive Specific Requests
"Bundles for America, Inc., has received during the past week specific requests and requisitions from commanding officers of the Army and Navy totaling 81,000 garments for immediate delivery. The organization does not request its branches to make any garments until they have been specifically requested by the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard.
"Bundles for America also received last week an emergency allotment of 31,700 pounds of worsted yarn from the war production board in Washington, in order that work would not be held up even a day in production of these urgently needed garments.
Hill Hashers Must Be Tested For T.B.
(continued to page eight)
"The official attitude of the Arm
Nearly all Hill food handlers have taken tuberculin tests, physicians at Watkins Memorial hospital announced today. Those few who have not yet reported are urged to do so soon. Similar tuberculin examinations are being given to several members of the faculty.
The tuberculin examinations are in accord with a ruling adopted by the University in an attempt to control tuberculosis. The University's action in requiring tests of food handlers and of faculty members followed a vigorous campaign by the Daily Kansan in the spring of 1940.
Psychological examinations for all new students except graduate students and Summerfield candidates will be given in room 306. Fraser hall at 2 p.m. to-morrow. The examination will last about two hours.
This examination is required of all students entering the University for the first time and is part of the official enrollment schedule.
Fine Arts Students To Give Program At Dance Tonight
Students from the studio of Mrs. Alice Moncrieff, professor of voice, will present a patriotic program before the dance sponsored by the city WPA Recreation council in the auditorium of the Lawrence Community building from 7:30 to 9:30 tonight.
E. M. Brack, tenor, will sing "The Star Spangled Banner," and Edgar Haage, baritone, will sing "Spirit of Kansas." Eugene Jennings, fine arts freshman, will accompany the soloists.
Russ Chambers' band will furnish music for the dance. The program and dance are open to the public without charge.
Red Cross Needles Fly In Fraser
The Red Cross sewing room opened Tuesday morning in room 116, Fraser hall, offering University women an opportunity to sew for civilian and military needs. The work consists of both hand and machine sewing for foreign and domestic groups.
This is an entirely voluntary project. The Red Cross committee urges each University woman to take part. Several organized houses have made plans to sew in small groups, and the Women's Self-Governing Association and other organizations have also made arrangements to sew.
Hours which the room remains open are from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday and from 2 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. The sewing room is not open on Monday.
This Red Cross group was organized under the direction of a committee of faculty women, townswomen, and students. Mrs. Paul B. Lawson is chairman of the committee.
Contrary to general opinion, yarn is still available for women wishing to knit for the Red Cross or Bundles for America. Yarn for Red Cross knitting may be obtained at the sewing room, and yarn for the Bundles for America work may be obtained at the W.S.G.A. teas in the women's lounge of Frank Strong hall on Wednesday afternoons.
Mrs. Henry Werner is in charge of the knitting for Bundles for America.
Late Enrollment Set For Saturday
College students who desire to make a late enrollment or wish to make changes in their earlier enrollment will do so in Robinson gymnasium Saturday morning from 9.30 until 11:30.
The lectures, which will be presented each Thursday evening in Fraser theater, are open to the citizens of Lawrence and surrounding communities as well as to the students of the University. The course will consist of 15 lectures, and will offer one hour of college credit.
"How the War Came to Europe" will be the first lecture given by C. B. Realey, professor of history, at 7:30 this evening. This lecture will include discussions of the English and French policy versus the Axis and of what measures could have been taken to prevent the present war.
Quill Club Takes 21 New Members
The World at War, new lecture course designed to present a basis for judgment of problems of America at war, attracted 365 students on the first day of enrollment at the University. This is the largest number of students ever to enroll in one course, and late registrations this week are expected to increase the class total.
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, stated that his office plans to make no enrollment changes after Saturday morning.
Freshmen elected were: Doris Nieweg, Hope Crittenden, Mildred Buoy, John Pfouts, Robert Hutchinson, Harriet Rouse, Lois Elaine Willcuts, and Clifford Blair.
Twenty-one students were elected new members of the local chapter of the American College Quill club at the last meeting of the group. Those admitted into the club were Elizabeth Phillips, Mrs. Nina Cole, Addie Mary Egbert, and Wifma Miner, seniors. Juniors chosen are Jean Brownlee, Isabelle Benson, Lucille Kadel, Bernice Kizler, Virginia Tieman, William J. Feeney, Donald Welty, George K. Grindrod, and Clarence Miller.
All other students who submitted manuscripts but whose names do not appear are requested to submit another manuscript to be judged.
The Oread magazine committee will meet this afternoon at 3:30 in the Memorial Union building main lounge. There will be a short meeting of the club at 7:30 tonight in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
Realey To Speak To World War Class Tonight
"We must stabilize all classes as much as possible this week, so that any student who makes application for a change of schedule after Saturday morning will have to have the most unusual of reasons," Dean Lawson said.
Students enrolling for the first time, or enrolling late, will enter the gym through the north door, while students desiring to make a change in their present enrollment schedule will go to the east door.
Veta B. Lear, assistant to the dean of the college, said this morning that no figures could be given out as yet on the change in the number of students enrolling in the College this semester. The work of speeding up the enrollment process has left little time for the office to tabulate the figures.
An opportunity for University men to receive training for commissions in the Reserve Army Quartermaster Corps was announced today by officials of the department of military science and tactics.
Any University man who has had three years of college,has a good scholastic average,and has had two years of basic R.O.T.C. training or its equivalent is eligible for the training and should apply at the military science department for further information.
Two hundred and fifty students from all over the United States will be recruited to take an 18-month course leading to a degree of Master of Business Administration at Harvard University and finally to a reserve officer's commission in the United States Army Quartermaster's Corps.
Harvard Trains 250 Officers For U.S. Army
The information about the course was received by the department of military science in a telegram from W. B. Donham, dean of the Harvard School of Business. Included in the telegram was the information that scholarship aid would be available for men with serious financial limitations.
Men who are interested in the course should apply at once for they must start classes at Harvard before Feb. 9. The department of military science and tactics has been instructed to wire the names of all the men they accept to the Harvard School of Business at once.

Pledging Services Hold Spot Light
Except for marriages and engagements and an occasional dinner guest, there has been little time for much social life during the past two weeks. Still, in the midst of enrollment, and the beginning of the second semester, most of the fraternities have managed to do a little quiet rushing on the side.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
His team had just beaten the Bluejays at Omaha Saturday night by a 31 to 22 score. This placed the Aggies on top of the Missouri Valley conference with an undefeated record. However, the case does not rest there for Creighton goes down to Stillwater for return game Feb. 23.
One of the interested spectators at the Creighton-Kansas game Tuesday night was Henry Iba, veteran basketball coach and athletic director at Oklahoma A. and M. Iba, who was a front row fan, had more than a casual interest in the game.
That game will undoubtedly decide the champion of their conference. But more than that, Iba's crew will face the Jayhawkers in two engagements within the next two weeks. The first game will be at Lawrence next Friday and the game at Stillwater will be played the following Wednesday, Feb.25.
HENRY IBA IS IN A BIND
In a short after-game chat Iba didn't have much to say about the Burton Cossey affair in which the latter transferred his track ability from the Stillwater campus to the up-state crowd at Norman. He said he was going to meet with Lawrence "Jap" Haskell, director of athletics at the University of Oklahoma, sometime this week and the situation would be discussed and a peaceable settlement made.
Iba however is on the spot. Undoubtedly he won't take quite as much interest in the case as if the athlete in question were a basketball player, or even a football star. Furthermore, he's bound to be affected by a few citizens of the state who are vitally interested in seeing that O.U. gets best athletes and has the best teams in the state.
One of these interested parties is Governor Leon Phillips who played football with Bennie Owen at Oklahoma. Owen was former football coach and athletic director at the Norman school and is still vitally connected with the Sooner athletic squads, being head of the intramural set-up at the present time.
Even more influential is a certain Mr. Noble, millionaire oilman, who is also a member of the Board of Regents in Oklahoma. It was Noble who was so interested in getting Orville Mathews, star Sooner football and track man to return to the Norman campus from the University of Southern California, that he used his own private plane to fly Mathews back. The athletic officials at Oklahoma can't be blamed too much for their questionable tactics when they receive the green-light signal from a man on the state's Board of Regents. Perhaps the knowledge that Noble is a regent and a Sooner booster will slow Iba down.
But even if Iba does allow the situation to pass over quietly the Sooners must have Cossey's eligibility okayed by the Big Six athletic council. This shouldn't bother the faculty members of the six schools who comprise the council. Nor should it worry Oklahoma for that school has been getting by on bluff in several instances of the past and it doesn't appear that any new tactics will be changed.
The statement that the athletic council will not worry about the case merely implies that this august body will take its usual action, which is doing absolutely nothing. For some reason the council is afraid to take any action. They make rules and by-laws, good ones too, and then fail to uphold them. That is, some of the schools are that way. Word has finally leaked out that Missouri is the school which supposedly backed down in the Gerald Tucker case last month. Nebraska on the other hand desired action and wanted it quite badly but the powers-that-be at Missouri persuaded the vote to fall in favor of Oklahoma. The same situation will probably occur in two weeks when the council meets again in Kansas City but it will be interesting to watch just what excuses the council hands out.
TWO GOOD REFEREES FOUND
Additional notes on the Creighton-Kansas game: The officiating Tuesday night was the best of the year for this column's money. . . . Ab Hinshaw always has proved popular and in every game he has worked he has done an efficient job . . . . The other referee was new to Jayhawker fans but they certainly did take to him. . . . He was Mike Oberhelman, former Kansas Stater,w ho now works in his father's bank at Randolph, about 30 miles north of Manhattan. . . . He hasn't refereed many games in this section but up Nebraska-way they swear by him. . . . Free substitution was used during the game. . . . This policy is followed in the Missouri Valley but not in the Big Six where a player is allowed to enter the game only three times. . . Many fans were fooled Tuesday night by the apparent display of complete unity on the Jayhawk team. . . Outwardly the team looks like a perfect mold of one but inwardly a little dissension is still rife. . . . Events of the past week have done much to calm the approaching storm. . . .

Tall Huskers Coming
Returning to Big Six competition after an absence of three weeks, the University of Kansas Jayhawks tangle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers here Saturday night.
First Game Inside Loop In 3 Weeks
Last previous joust in the conference for the Jayhawks was their 46-44 overtime win from Kansas State, Jan. 24. Since then they have met five opponents outside the league, Iowa U., DePaul, Wichita, Great Lakes and Creighton, losing only to the star-studded Navy team.
K.U. Has Good Record
Jayhawks In Excellent Form
As goes Sid Held so goes Nebraska and the Jayhawks will be out to stop the big center as thoroughly as they did at Lincoln earlier in the season. In defeating the Huskers 51-32 in that game, Kansas limited Held to one field goal and five throws.
K. U. played superb ball in defeating Creighton 53-49 Tuesday night and Doctor Allen is hopeful that his cagers have enough competition under their belts now to maintain that pace.
Scintillating passing which worked the ball through the Creighton defense for one short shot after another was the feature of Kansas' play. The Jayhawks were by no means "hot" on their shooting, however, making only 29 per cent of their shots and missing many good ones.

Four Jayhawks accounted for 10 or more points in the victory over the Bluejays. Miller was high with 14, Black and John Buescher each had 11, with Hunter adding his 10. Nebraska will be no soft touch, however, as evidenced by their 39 to 31 victory over Iowa State last Saturday. Ken Elson, forward, and John Bottorf, guard, gained starting berths in that game.

Bear Urges Action - - - Russians Disappointed In Allied War Effort
London, Feb. 5—Allied diplomatic informants said today that Russia was disappointed by the Allied war effort, especially United States and Britain war production, and was increasingly anxious over continued Allied setbacks in the Pacific.
Russians have begun to wonder, according to informants, how far the Allies are prepared to retreat in the far Pacific before they make a counter-offensive against Japan, and it was
added that there was growing bewilderment in Russia over the inadequacy of preparations to meet a Japanese attack which had been long foreseen.
It was said that the Russians apparently thought that United States war production was considerably found to be, and that they were disfurther advanced than it has been appointed now because of the emphasis the United States was reported to be putting on certain types of weapons.
Russian disappointment with Allied war production and war effort generally was said to be based on comparisons with their own gigantic war program, which enabled them to double their army to 9,000,000 men, reorganize their entire war industry and equip the army sufficiently to permit a big counter-offensive after six months of continuous German advances.
Expert Says "V" For Victory Was A 1917 Invention
Tulaa, Okla. —(UP)— The slogan "V for Victory" was used in the last war. Phil W. McMahon of Tulaa can prove it.
McMahon has collected propa-
ganda posters from all over the world. He has placards from every nation that was engaged in the last World War and now has started collecting new ones from the present conflict.
The V for Victory slogan was used by the Allies in 1917, but then it was a flag, the collector said.
Some of his choicest propaganda paintings are in an art museum in Tulsa. They have been assembled in a separate room and praised for their artistic value. Some of them are elaborate affairs. They vary from post-card size to six feet square.
Recently he wrote to a public minister in Italy asking him for some late propaganda posters. They never arrived because when they reached the Bahama islands the British censored them.

Says Man Made Mistake Walking On Two Legs
Berkeley, Calif. — UP—Perhaps the greatest physical mistake man ever made was standing upright and walking on only two legs.
That is the belief of Dr. Verne T. Inman, anatomist at the University of California. Dr. Inman says that while this decision made man's present intellectual development possible, it left him with a body inadequate to the demands of modern life.
This prehistoric departure from normal posture, Dr. Inman said, is now accepted as the cause of man's ills which come after 30, such as depressed kidneys, varicose veins, infected sinuses, flat feet, low back pains, warped spines and flabby legs.
"By the age of 30," Dr. Inman says, "an animal like the gorilla is ready to die. Its body has served its purpose. But man, by using his brain, has extended his life and must face many years of increasing weakness, senility and pain with a body that is already out of style.
The engineering administrative committee of the University allotted funds for the purchase of a new gas furnace for the foundry room in the Fowler shops last night.
"Human beings possess a very primitive anatomy. They do not have the advanced specialized structures that mark such animals as the whale, the dog and the cat," he pointed out.
Foundry Will Have New Gas Furnace
Discounts Gas As War Peril
This is one of the new pieces of machinery which is to replace out-of-date equipment for the necessary work that has to be done in the Fowler shops.
The new furnace will permit students in foundry classes to pour more castings than when it was necessary to heat the large cupola.
The large cupola will be used only for the more heavy jobs now.
Kansas City, Mo.—(UP)—Poison gas is not nearly as fearsome a weapon in modern warfare as the ordinary person thinks, according to Dr Lloyd H. Ryerson, professor of chemistry at the University of Minnesota
Berkeley, Cal. — (UP) — To make every hog count for national defense in 1942, California growers now separate new-born pigs from their mother a few hours after birth and bring them up under ultra-violet ray lamps. This prevents the sow from rolling over and destroying the young porkers.
This war moves too fast and is too mobile to make practical the use of gas, in Dr. Ryerson's estimation. Places of concentration where troops are entrenched are the only likely areas for gas attacks, and then the advantage is not great, the chemist contends.
"Contrary to common belief," he said, "no horrible new kinds of poison gas have been developed since the last war. Thousands of mixtures were tried out in laboratories then and about 25 were used in front-line fighting.
Bombs Cheaper, More Effective
"In a city, the family could escape most of the dangers of gas simply by moving upstairs and staying out of the cellar. All poison gasses are heavier than air and tend to settle fast."
Dr. Ryerson, an officer in chemical warfare in the last war, recalled some of his observations and conclusions.
"An estimated 150 tons of mustard gas, most deadly then used, was required to kill one soldier," he said.
"And to accomplish a force potent enough to kill and maim, about 50 tons of gas must be spread per square mile with a prevailing 10-mile wind.
Dr. Ryerson believes that bombing is cheaper and more effective than gas.
64 Relations "Doing Bit"
Dillon, Mont. — (UP) — William Hutchinson is working overtime trying to keep track of the 64 relatives who are now helping allied war efforts. They include members of the RAF in England, members of training camps in both England and Canada, a Victoria Cross winner, sailors in the British, navy and soldiers in England, Libya and Iraq.
Buys Car on 20-Year Pay Plan
Education Faculty To Topeka Meeting
Doctor Cures Idle Hands
Detroit Lakes, Minn. — (UP) — A man walked into the office of G. C. Munn and handed him a check for $1,000, final payment on an automobile bought 20 years ago. Munn explained he sold the car for $600 cash and took a note of $1,000. The purchaser had kept up the interest payments and extended the note annually.
Kansas City, Mo.—(UP)—Patients waiting to see a woman doctor here no longer read magazines. They pick up one of the eight pairs of knitting needles and yarn on the reception desk and go to work for the Red Cross. When they leave they put the unfinished work on the desk for the next patient to continue.
Members of the faculty of the School of Education are attending a meeting of the Kansas Council of Administration in Topeka today, tomorrow, and Saturday. The Council is a branch of the Kansas State Teachers Association.
Staff members attending the meetings are J. W. Twente, F. P. O'Brien, F. O. Russell, R. A. Schwegler, Miss Maud Ellsworth, Bert A. Nash, and Dean George B. Smith, all members of the School of Education faculty.
Dean Smith addressed a division meeting of the North Central Association of Kansas Schools this afternoon and will speak before the State Association of School Boards of Education tomorrow night.
Professor Twente will act as chairman of a panel discussion for elementary school principals and supervisors tomorrow afternoon.
Northwestern Will Admit High School To University Work
Complete Crow Language Text
South Paris, Me. — (UP) — Fourteen boys who attended a Sunday school class together and were members of the same Boy Scout troop, now are enlisted in the U.S.military services.
Berkeley, Cal. — (UP) — Dr. R H Lowe, professor of anthropology at University of California, completed a text book of the Crow Indian language after extensive research on the Crow reservation in Montana. He established textual material of prayers, several trickster tales and the Crow version of the creation.
Pawhuska, Okla —(UP)— A chain letter to end chain letters is now in circulation. The letter asked the person receiving it to send his wife to the name at the top of the list. It pointed out that if the chain went unbroken, the recipient would—at the end of the chain—receive 15,000 wives.
Evanston, Ill.—UP—High school juniors with exceptional records will be permitted to enter Northwestern University next fall under a new plan designed to enable them to progress according to their abilities and to complete their college before they are 21.
Although present arrangements call for inauguration of the plan in the school of speech, where it was originated by Dean Ralph B. Dennis, it is likely that other schools in the university will adopt it.
"Students who are intellectually capable of undertaking advanced work should not be retarded by the demands of the average," said Dean Dennis. "Many students at 16 are better equipped to undertake a college course than others of 17 to 18 who have had more high school training; and these superior students are handicapped by the present custom which establishes requirements intended for the average."
Under the plan, 100 students with exceptional records for three years of high school will take three college courses at Northwestern during the summer; those who pass these satisfactorily and who make satisfactory records on the university's aptitude tests will be admitted as freshmen in the fall.
Nice Ride, No Injuries
Chilmark, Mass. —(UP)—When 94-year-old Freeman Hayden fell down the cellar stairs, his relatives called an ambulance. He protested furiously but finally agreed to go to the hospital when he learned he would be the first person to ride in the new Martha's Vineyard ambulance. He was right all the time—no injuries.

In one of the best "B" team games of the season the Phi Delta Theta cagers defeated the Phi Kappa Psi "B" squad last night in an overtime period. Playing the hero's role for the Phi Delt's was Ed Boddington, sophomore guard, whose midcourt basket with 25 seconds to play provided the winning margin. Boddington had also given the Phi Delt's a 16 to 15 halftime lead by connecting for a long basket in the last half minute of the first half.
Dean Huebert, Phi Delt forward, collected 14 points to be the victor's offensive star before fouling out in the overtime period. Frosty Wilson was especially valuable on rebounds and floor work. Jimmy Brown led the Phi Psi attack with 16 points.
Phi Gamma Delta continued its undefeated march toward the Division I intramural basketball crown by defeating a willing but outclassed Acacia foe, 49 to 22.
Heading the attack of the big
purple machine was Larry McSpadden, whose 19 points, many of them made from center court, made him high point man for the game. Chain Healy and "Swede" Olson each contributed five field goals to the Fiji total. Charlie Rohler spearheaded the Acacia attack with 10 points.

VIVA
Sportin' Around by Chuck Elliott
From all the comments of the Jayhawker basketball squad-members the recent road trip was a howling success. A couple of added sidelights of the Chicago portion of the trip were eating a $1.35 dinner on the diner en route to Chicago and the gigantic stage show which the squad saw in Chicago Friday night. Included in the program was a demonstration match between the second and third ranking badminton players of the country.
But the real highlight of the trip remained to be experienced after the team reached Kansas again and even after their last game, against Wichita. While grabbing a bite to eat in the Pup Lunch of the Allis hotel they were approached by Larry Stanley and Dave Wilson, sports announcer for radio station KFH.
PLAYERS WERE QUICK WITH REPARTEE
Stanley, who broadcasts football and baseball games for KFH, persuaded Trainer Dean Nesmith to let the players go up to the studio and make an informal broadcast. Nearly the entire squad was present for the event. Stanley counting 21, when the commercial program was interrupted at 12:10 a.m. for the special occasion.
Nesmith was the first victim. Stanley, after hearing that Nesmith was the fellow who told the players when they should go to bed each night on the trip, accused him of being a meanie but the popular Kansas trainer retaliated by saying, "I make it back however because I also control the money when it comes to food and it's surprising how nice a bunch of fellows can be around meal time."
After Nesmith the regular varsity line-up was called to the microphone, one at a time. The entire broadcast was impromptu and some of the cracks that the players ad libbed with would have done justice to many of the better commercial programs on the air at the present time.
Especially were Ralph "Chanute" Miller and John "Illinois" Buescher quick on the trigger with their replies. Bich's first words were, "Well, as you all should know, I'm from Beardstown, Ill. That's nearly in central Illinois, about 30 miles from Springfield. The best basketball players in the country come from that state and since I'm from Illinois I haven't heard anything about a lot of these boys from Kansas and Oklahoma. Consequently these teams around here don't scare me much."
teams around here don't scare me much After Bisch had taken a crack at Miller about him shooting so much "Cappy" got up and told the radio audience, confidentially, that "Buescher was responsible for my getting so many points tonight. He promised me before the game that he would feed me constantly so I could make most of the baskets. But since Bisch is a modest fellow he wouldn't tell you that."
The entire program was conducted in a hilarious state but it was a good thing, perhaps, that a script wasn't prepared for the players. If it had been several juicy little remarks would have been deleted. Two remarks especially, one on Charlie Black and the other by Ray Evans, created minor riots among the players.
60 PERCENT ISN'T BAD
Notes from the Wichita-Kansas game: "Cappy" Miller scored 10 points in the first ten minutes. . K.U. led then, 14 to 5. . Wichita was held scoreless for the first six minutes. . Miller was held scoreless for eight minutes when he dumped his sixth goal out of eight shots in the first half. One of the funnier decisions of another poorly refereed game was when "Red-dog" Ettinger came barreling down the floor and knocked teammate Miller a-spinning... That was comical but the climax came when a foul was called immediately upon Miller, who was then sprawled on the floor. No one knows vet what the foul was called for.
one knows yet what the Miller's scoring for the last half went like this: he opened the half with a long swisher and then went scoreless until the seventh minute. . . . In the next three minutes he plunked three buckets through the hoop. . . . Next a three minute silence and then two goals in 50 seconds. . . . For five minutes no points then a final fielder, which made 14 goals and, with two free throws interspersed, gave a total of 30 points. . . . For the entire game he shot 23 times, making 60 per cent of them for a most remarkable record. . . The K.U. team made 22 out of 69 shots during the game.
Phog Allen's explanation for the poor refereeing this year put the blame entirely on the rule makers who took out the center jump. "The game is just too fast these days for any person to keep up with the fast action," he says.
says.
Dick Amerine, shirt-tail flapping halfback of Jayhawker football teams from 1937 to 39, was commissioned today as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve at Corpus Christi, Texas. He enlisted last March in Kansas City and was appointed a cadet June 12. While at Corpus Christi Dick specialized in flying the Navy's fast fighter planes (the type used aboard carriers) during the advanced training stage.

How the Kansas Jayhawkers rank with the best basketball teams of the Mid-west will be determined tonight in the Municipal auditorium at Kansas City when "Phog" Allen's cagers tangle with the Great Lakes Naval Training Station squad.
There will be no more intramural basketball games until Monday night because of the enrollment in Robinson Gymnasium. The tables for the semester's enrollment will not be moved from the floor of the gym until after the late enrollment is completed Saturday night.
The game tonight will be the Jayhawks eleventh battle while the Sailors will be entering their twenty-third contest. Until last night the Great Lakes team ruled a prohibitive favorite but this opinion was rudely shattered by the Creighton Bluejays at Omaha when the latter came through with a smashing 59 to 45 victory.
"Point a minute" teams as well as individual players were an amazing thing in basketball at one time but tonight both will be on display. The Jayhawkers have averaged 49.2 points a game in 10 contests while the Navy team has averaged 52.5 in 23 games.
Closest to this fantastic objective as an individual comes Johnny Adams, an All-American at Arkansas and now a star forward on the Great Lakes team. A regulation 40-minute conference game with Texas Christian last year found Adams storming the nets for 36 points.
Intramural Games
The Big Ten individual scoring record for one game was held several years ago by Ernie Andres of Indiana, an All-American guard as a senior. Playing against Illinois in his final intercollegiate game, Andres stuffed 31 points in the goal from his guard post. His play with Great Lakes this year has indicated that his shooting eye is as good now as it ever was.
On the Jayhawk's side, Dr. F. C. Allen has Ralph "Cappy" Miller, who whipped 30 points into the basket against Wichita Monday night, although not playing the entire 40 minutes.
As a high school sensation, playing in games only 32 minutes long, Miller hit his peak with a 42 point spree against Iola. Other big night for "Cappy" at Chanute High School included tallie of 37, 36, and 35 points.
The games will be played as soon as the new semester's schedule is arranged.

Rangy Creighton Team Invades Hill Tuesday
Next Tuesday night one of the strongest collegiate teams in the entire country will come to Lawrence to try and upset the Jayhawkers on their home floor. This team being the Creighton Bluejays of Omaha.
The Bluejays are rated odds-on favorites to capture the title in the tough Missouri Valley conference. Oklahoma A. and M. and Creighton are the two top-ranking teams, year in and year out, but this year Coach Ed Hickey's squad gains the nod over the Oklahoma outfit. This will be decided definitely Saturday night when the two teams meet, for the first time this year, at Omaha.
Last night the Bluejays perhaps reached a climax in their brilliant playing by swamping the tough Great Lakes Naval Training team by a 59 to 45 count. Leaders in this victory were Ed Beisser, Gene Haldeman, and Ralph Langer, scoring 16 points each.
Ed Beisser, a junior from Des Moines, was named on the 1940-41 All-Missouri Valley five and is doing yeoman work at center again this season in spite of a leg fracture sustained on a summer job. Beisser's long suit is an uncanny pivot shot.
Langer is the aggressive player on the squad, being a junior forward. He was all-state in basketball two years and one year in football at Ainsworth, Nebr., High School. He is very rugged, a clever floor man, and has a good eye for the basket despite an unorthodox method of shooting.

Omaha, Neb - Sparkplug of the Brighton university quintet is this vry senior guard, Capt. Gerlaldeman, Aberdeen, S.D.

The KANSAN Comments.
The Mystery of Life
One of life's deepest, darkest mysteries, and one that is, we fear, to remain forever unrevealed, is why, oh why, must people herd together in tight little knots and successfully and completely block entrance or exit from the library? It happens every hour on the half-hour, every school day of the week.
Horrible visions are called to mind. Suppose Watson library were to catch fire. The interior would become a raging inferno, and as the poor, smoke-filled student groped upward from the reserve room his exit would be effectively blocked by a leisurely, gregarious flock of alleged students, lighting cigarettes, discussing professors in bitter tones, and otherwise disporting themselves in the manifestation of some virulent ennui.
The thing does have its serious aspects, though. Many's the time some poor student, studying up to the last minute before dashing to class, has found himself trapped near the front door of the library, standing on one foot and then the other, as the smoking-room habitues light up, and stand discussing topics of the day. And, getting into the place is just as difficult, unless you play it cagey like, and slink in during the hour, when the loiterers have dispersed until the next time when they can get in someone's way.
Perhaps one answer would be to convert the place into a sort of den, and let them have it. You could always cut a new door through somewhere else. A place with the traffic that the library has, needs more than one door, anyhow. Conditions are nearly as bad at the exit to any other building on the Hill, but the library, being more frequently used is a sort of test case, as it were.
A boy in Texas was considerably startled recently when he tried to join the army air corps and was told that he was dead, and had been since birth. The poor, deluded creature is now scouting around for legal evidence that he was born alive and is still in the same condition.
---O--heard only stories of repeated victory; the successful conquest of the whole of Europe. They have supported their government, perhaps for this reason. No people is averse to power, if that power can be easily achieved and easily retained. What a crushing defeat, as climax to a war already much longer than they had expected, that some of the gullibility and blind faith in the word of the Fuehrer will be dissolved.
Apprehensive horses now have added proof that their time is coming: St. Louis police report the theft of four steel-rimmed wagon wheels from a livery stable.
And What of Russia?
Apparently Russia is to be the one battlefront in the world where the Allied Nations can hold up their heads. If the effort on other fronts is of no avail, the Russians, with little aid from anyone, are doing a magnificent job in the sub-zero winter of their country.
If they can continue to drive the Germans back with sufficient losses, it is improbable that Hitler will renew the offensive in the spring. He will be too busy on other fronts, and will have tasted the bitter gall of defeat for the first time.
The possibility of Russian invasion of German territory is not imminent. It would be extremely difficult for Russia to extend her supply lines far enough to support such a campaign, because of the "scorched earth" policy employed by the Russians in their first retreat, and because of subsequent stripping of the country by the Germans.
If the Germans are completely routed and driven out of Russia, the psychological victory may be more important than the military gain. To date, the German people have not known in this war what it is to be defeated. They have

The D.U.'s not only possess a man who reads the newspapers, but one who is potentially a great statesman. Stan Kreider has a plan for helping our poor benighted congressmen; all he lacks is a committee. In utmost sincerity, he wants to place collecting boxes on campus corners to gather old clothes and cast-offs to send to Washington to our law makers. Any student interested in such a project should contact Stan.
Sigma Nu Bob Ackerman has a notoriously bad memory. He keeps forgetting that he has been forbidden, during Hell Week, to go either to Brick's or the Jayhawk. To help him remember this major point of freshman etiquette, he now carries about the campus with hi ma lovely red brick, and a stuffed hawk. Poignant, isn't it?
Monday night the Pi Phi freshmen took law and order by the scruff of its tired neck, and walked out. . . . the second time this year. They betook themselves to the Mill, then to the Varsity for the flickers. What happened when they betooken themselves back home is not being released. One authority says, "We were tired of it all."
This is a leg slapper: Phi Gam's Art Black, Jim Boyd, and Emmett Hook are taking boxing this semester.
There is a reason behind it all. . . . it seems these guys had a few knuckle brushes during the Christmas reprieve and between semesters, which convinced them that a few of the finer points of scientific boxing wouldn't do any of them any harm.
Theola McCool and Claire Arnold, members in good standing at Corbin Hall, are joint owners of a fancy, much guarded alarm clock. When it went off early Monday morning, both T. and C. sprang out of bed with a glad cry to shut off the little dear. They collided in mid-air, bashing foreheads firmly. Now both parties to this incident are head-holding with migraine headaches of an intensity bordering upon the supernatural.

Lincoln's Birthday Recalls Hope for Democracy
If Honest Abe Lincoln were to drop in on us today on this 133rd anniversary of his birth, he might be surprised to note that many of his oft-quoted statements are as true now as the day when he spoke them.
By FLORENCE BROWN
Abraham Lincoln, during his lifetime and especially during the Civil War, delivered numerous addresses and wrote many letters from which are taken well-known excerpts. Many of these can be repeated verbatim and will be applicable to the
In an address at Cleveland, Ohio 81 years ago, Lincoln said, "If we do not make common cause to save the good old ship of the Union on this voyage, nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage." On a vastly different occasion on the same date, Feb. 15, these words would have a very definite meaning to every citizen of the United States. Liberty Needs Definition
His warning in a letter to Major-General Joseph Hooker during the Civil War is sound advice for any occasion. To the major-general he wrote, "Beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories." How's that for sound official advice?
On another occasion, in Baltimore, Lincoln said, "The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one." "Just now" could apply to 1864, the year the words were spoken, or to 1942.
A few months later he stated, "It has long been a grave question whether any government, not too strong for the liberties of its people, can be strong enough to maintain its existence in great emergencies." The question which perturbed Lincoln is
still unanswered. We are still wondering; still trying to find the answer.
Lincoln's Prophecy
"Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good." Thus wrote Lincoln to a mother who had lost five sons in the war. He would, no doubt, be dismayed to learn that since that time, this country has been through one great world-wide conflict and is now involved in another. This fact, however, would only help to prove the truth of his words.
So, on his birthday, we can recall the words of another war-time president, an amazing combination of statesman, warrior, sage, and prophet, and add just a little more to our efforts to see that "government of the people, for the people, and by the people shall not perish from the earth."

Missouri took a 6-1 lead keeping Bears from scoring from the field for the first nine and one-half minutes. Chuck Heiser and Al Costa paced the Bears in overcoming the Tigers' lead and putting Washington in front midway in the first half.
Capt. Loren Mills and Keith Bangert rallied the Bengals to a 23-16 lead, but Washington's captain, Bud Schwenk hit a field goal just before the halftime gun sounded.
Washington started strong in the
second half and with three minutes gone were ahead 26 to 24. In the final minute of play Washington held a one-point lead, which they had been protecting for another two minutes, and were stalling for time. Missouri's Don Harvey took the ball and dribbed down the court.
The referee called a foul on a Washington man and Harvey was about to shoot when Herb Bunker, Missouri football line coach and only four-letter Phi Beta Kappa in the Tigers' history, rushed out and, as timer, explained that the foul had occurred after the game had ended.

Local basketball fans will remember these two players as members of the fighting Wyoming Cowboy basketball team which performed in Kansas City last year in the N.C.A.A. play-offs. Kenny Sailors, as a sophomore last year, played his way into the hearts of fans wherever he went with his sparkling performances. He is the leading scorer for the Cowboys this year. He hits with either hand, or both, and is a wizard at passing and dribbling. Strannigan is rated as one of the best prospects in the Rocky Mountain conference to gain All-American honors this year. He was all-conference at Colorado his sophomore year and gained the honor again last year at Wyoming.

Stay in Bed Tomorrow It 's Friday 13
Tonight is the night—kill all the cats, alley or otherwise; break all the ladders; wrap all mirrors in excelsior; don't spill any salt; don't light three on a match; see a pin, pick it up; don't whistle after midnight—stay in bed all day tomorrow—for tomorrow is Friday the 13th.
If a cat should run in front of your path, back up ten paces, turn around and round three times and run in the opposite direction. Do not walk under a ladder. If you do unconsciously walk under a ladder, go back even though you interrupt a painter or paper-hanger.
If you should break a mirror—fear not—just grind glass up into small particles and sprinkle lightly over your food, then you won't live long enough to have seven years of bad luck.
No 3-on-Match
If three people insist on lighting cigarettes from one match guard
yourself—deftly brush the clothing of the third person with the fagot and he will insist no more.
If you see a pin, dash madly to pick it up. If you have competition—ignore him—step firmly on his hand and crush his vanity as well as his fingers.
Formula For Luck
Anyone who whistles after midnight is breaking a house rule. Stay in bed all day tomorrow and get rid of the luggage protruding from under your eyelashes, and you won't have to worry about a thing except to make up a whole day's work. So long chums.
Abe Lincoln Freedom Changes Mood
What a revolution the freedom of the American Negro brought in the social world!
Yes, it is true that indirectly or basically Abraham Lincoln is the founder of the institution of modernity known as "solid jive," "hot stuff," "rug cuttin," or (call it what you please) swing. He can easily be pointed out as the "father of American jazz."
Father of Jazz
It was the bill freeing the Negro from his serfdom, which encouraged him to develop his distinctive culture. A culture high lighted perhaps by its music and dancing, characteristic for its primitive portrayal. And it wasn't long before the white men combined the Negro's m ood and motion to their waltzing and square dancing and thus began to "swing out" in a "solid gate" style of their own.
Perhaps his picture would be published every month on the cover All this could be. Or then again of "Down beat" magazine on national swing and the interior would be smeared with pictures of him posing
One cannot be sure what kind of an attitude Mr. Lincoln would adopt toward this new rage he so indirectly brought about if he were living today. History says that he was a pretty good "egg" so we can imagine that he would think it was "solid" and found out a few hep beats himself.
with famous name bends, sitting in for a trombone solo or taking a few hot licks on the drums. He might also have his own record player and collection of swing records to "send himself" occasionally.
he might have wanted to boot himself for ever having instigated such weird developments in the social life of mankind. But the next time you push a nickel (or facsimile) into a juke-box and swing music comes forth—thank Abe Lincoln, indirectly the papa of American jazz.
Psychologist Presages Post-War Mental Ills
Hamilton, N. Y. (UP)—Colgate University has expanded its courses in abnormal psychology to promote greater understanding of mental disorders expected to result from the war.
"We believe that students should understand definitely the mental disorders certain to result from war and to carry over as major problems of the reconstruction period," explained Dr. George H. Estabrooks, head of the psychology department.

Aerial neurosis, effects of fatigue and malnutrition on troops and civilians, disorders arising from bombings, and the effects of strain and fear will be emphasized in one new course in "abnormal . psychology, organic."

The KANSAN Comments...
Is Basketball in a Slump
A recent sports comment in the Kansas City Star said the K.U. basketball team was in a slump. This comment appeared in the paper a few days after Kansas had lost to Iowa State at Ames, and after the Kansas-Kansas State game, which K.U. won in an overtime.
Kansas has played three games since defeating Kansas State. On January 29, the Jayhawkers downed Iowa University, 53 to 51. Two nights later Kansas gave DePaul University of Chicago its worst defeat of the season, winning 46 to 26, and on February 3 K.U. swept to a 56 to 37 victory over the University of Wichita.
Kansas' basketball record for the 1941-42 season to date shows 9 victories and one loss. The team has scored 492 points to the opponent's 364. In Big Six play, the Jayhawkers have scored 240 points in five games to their opponents' 187. This is a wider margin than any other conference team can claim for the same number of games.
Kansas shares the Big Six lead with Oklahoma, both teams having four victories and one defeat. For all games played this season, Kansas has an average of 49.2 points per game, and an average of 48 points per game for Big Six competition. That is a good record and certainly does not indicate a slump for the Kansas team.

A recent issue of Liberty Magazine devotes a full-page editorial to criticism of the President. Their criticism is, in effect, that he has shown partisanship in his appointment of defense officials, and that he has borne grudges against able men who have opposed him in politics
They suggest, as able men who have been denied important posts, ex-Governor Alf M. Landon, ex-President Herbert Hoover, ex-Governor Al Smith, ex-corporation executive Wendell Willkie, ex-ambassador Jospeh Kennedy, and ex-priorities administrator Bernard Baruch.
Certain of these men have shown talent in the past. Some of them might be capable in positions of great responsibility. Others have upon occasion demonstrated lack of foresight mounting almost to stupidity.
Of the six, Wendell Willkie probably is most deserving of notice. He does, as shown in his administration of Commonwealth and Southern, possess considerable executive ability. His most serious drawback is, however, a limited amount of tact and diplomacy, and at present, an overwhelming interest in the future of the Republican party.
Joseph Kennedy, as ambassador to England, was opposed to extension of aid to England, which he considered a lost cause, thereby demonstrating his scanty foresight and lack of judgment.
Bernard Baruch is an able man, as proved by his work in the last war. He is so old, however, that he is useful only in advisory capacity and there is much to indicate that he is being so used.
Alf Landon, perhaps, has never had a fair national test of his ability. He has never held a major national job. He did well as Governor of Kansas, and since his defeat in the candidacy for President, has turned his attention wholly to the Republican party and to his own personal affairs.
Herbert Hoover, by virtue of past deeds, has shown his incompetency in times of emergency. In the first War he did a successful job as Food Administrator. Hoover's lack of tact is minded Leon Henderson as Price Administrator, there would seem to be no need for a Food Administrator. Hoover's lack of tact is demonstrated by the fact that his recently published book is a blast at England. A good man to put in charge of the Allied Command perhaps?
Regardless of the ability or inability of these men, they have all failed in the past to cooperate with the President, and their cooperation is no more likely now than then. Regardless of politics, this is a time for cooperation, and that cooperaton must be maintained, even if Liberty, and similar publications, feel that their heroes are being slighted.
Al Smith, certainly an able governor of New York, has been one of the most caustic critics of the President in recent years. He was once rejected by the people for a very important government position. Remember? His would not be the cooperation that is essential.

One new Hill freshman is bewildered about the Grover Whalen-New York World's Fair signs which say "Please" at strategic intervals all over the campus. "I just can't figure out," he says mournfully, "whether they really don't care if I do, or if they definitely wish I wouldn't."
Bizarre, isn't it, how many formerly devoted Hill women are looking at their men in an entirely new and not too rose colored light, having seen "Suspicion"?

Fred Robertson, of the 'Happy Smiles' Robertsons, has been put upon! Going into Brick's the other night to slurp a coke with some of the femmes, Fred reached a new low, when having ordered a lemon drink, an impudent waiter brought him a large full grown lemon and placed it in front of him.
Jean Ott is the 'Hot Pie' artist over at the Chi Omega house. There is usually one of these species in every organized house.

And when you reach over in the interests of scientific determinism, they smear you in your pie.
Something distracted Miss Ott in the middle of her latest effort, and, as her hand hung limply over her own piece of pie, Nancy Kerber turned the table on Ott and made culinary history in the Chi Omega dining room. The little microbes who live on the ceiling are having pumpkin pie this week.

Wartime Demand Brings Out "Cinderella" Metal
Pittsburgh—(UP)—Molybdenum, a metal long neglected by American industry, is now playing a leading role in steelmaking and is lessening this nation's dependence on foreign sources of steel-hardening materials.
Nearly 90 per cent of the world's molybdenum is produced in the United States, according to Dr. Bates. It has been slow in being put to use, however, because this country's stores of it were only discovered in recent years, and because of difficulties in learning to produce and heat-treat alloys containing the metal. Replaces Tungsten
"This country is rich in its resources of base metals—iron, lead, zinc, aluminum and copper," he explained. "But we have always had to depend upon supplies from abroad for nickel, chromium, manganese, and tungsten, which are used with iron to produce steel of strength, hardness, toughness or workability."
Replaces Tungsten
"Molybdenum has been neglected for many years," Dr. Bates said. "But this metal now is playing a leading role in steel-making as a result of industry's search for substitutes to replace metals formerly obtained abroad.

Ellsworth Tours East To Talk to Alumni
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, will return Feb. 20 from a 3 weeks tour of the East. He is visiting several eastern alumni chapters.
Among those chapters to be visited are Akron, Ann Arbor, Columbus, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Newark, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Washington, D. C. Ellsworth left Lawrence Jan. 29.
He plans to visit other state university alumni associations before his return. The purpose of the trip is to keep in contact with past graduates so interest will not lag for their alma mater, but to keep the alumni informed on the progress of the school and achievements of their past classmates.

68 Officials To Register Draftees Monday
Sixty-eight registrars will be at the Lawrence Community building Monday to register all men of Douglas county from the ages of 20 to 44, inclusive, who have not yet registered for the draft.
Several officials will be available on Saturday and Sunday, but no one will be allowed to register on those days unless he can prove that he will not be able to present himself on Monday, the day prescribed by law.
Bruce Cameron, chairman of the county selective service board. believes that these officials will be able to take care of every man who comes to register as soon as he enters the building. Since there is only one place for registration in Douglas county, a large number of registrars is necessary.
The draft board is expecting the cooperation of all employers in allowing their employees time off to register on Monday.
Two instructional meetings have been held for the registrars. One meeting was yesterday afternoon at Liberty Memorial high school and the other was at the Armory last evening. Each registrar was expected to attend one of the two meetings.
BODDINGTON--
(continued from page five) away to a 24 to 10 halftime lead. From then on it was smooth sailing for the Fiji's.
Hellhounds Victorious
The Newman III team last night at halftime seemed headed for an upset victory over a favored Hellhound five, but finally fell before the superior height of their opponents 24 to 19. At halftime the Clubmen had led 8 to 7.
High point man for the well-played contest was Charlie Fuller, Newman guard, with 11 points. Red Eye, clever Indian forward, played an outstanding floor game for the losers. Features of the Hellhound play was the scoring of Donn Mosser and Geo Fleeson, each with six points, the rebounding of Jim Cordell, and the fine defensive play of Bob White.
Delta Tau Delta managed to stave off a last-half Delta Upsilon rally, and edged out a 23 to 19 victory over the D.U. squad. Trailing 18 to 6 at halftime, Delta Upsilon, sparked by John Beamer, Jim Secrest, and Clarke Henry, came back to make a game out of it. Carl Bomholt, D.T.D. center, was high-scorer for the game with ten points.
Sig Alph "C" Wins
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon "C" team lead by John Fisher and Larry Hawkinson had no trouble defeating the Sigma Chi "C" squad 25 to 11. John McLeod was the Sigma Chi standout.
In tonight's only "A" team game Delta Chi will clash with Kappa Sigma in a Division I contest. Delta Chi will take the floor a definite favorite.
The Sigma Nu "B" team forfeited to Phi Gamma Delta "B", leaving the Fiji second squad still unbeaten in Division V play.
Patriotic students can support their nation by attending the Stamp Stomp tomorrow night. A $25 Defense Bond will be given away.

Nine graduates of the University School of Law and three law students now in military service were among the 23 admitted to the Kansas bar, the state board of examiners announced at Topeka yesterday. The graduates took their examinations last week.
State Bar Takes 12 Hill Lawyers
Those admitted to the bar were Alfred Jefferson Anderson, Arnold Reeve Gilbert, Lela Evelyn Siebert, Robert Johnston Gilliland, John Fowler O'Brien, Harold Earl Gregg, Allen Roy Sleeper, Jr., Kenneth Paul Rockhill, and William Sheldon Bowers.
Under the new Supreme Court rule three students who have already entered military service but have completed most of the educational requirements were also admitted. They are: Robert Imes Nicholson, James Rolland Hoover, and Clem William Fairchild.
Anderson was graduated in 1940 and Gilbert in '41. The rest are 1942 graduates.
New Alum Secretary Is 1941 Graduate
Miss Jean Robertson, who was graduated from the College in 1941, has accepted the position of assistant secretary of the K.U. Alumni association. She will replace Miss Florence Bohannon, who recently resigned.
Miss Robertson, since graduation, has held teaching positions in the Bucyrus and the Blue Springs, Mo.. school systems.
While attending the University Miss Robertson was for two years treasurer of W.S.G.A., a member of the Women's Glee Club and the Modern Choir, and on the Dean's Honor Roll. She is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta.

Cool $1,000
Joplin, Mo., Feb. 12 —(UP)— E. J. Mower, 55, owner of a hotel at Neosho, will probably be more careful next time when strangers offer to let him in on a "big deal."
Mower reported to police today that he lost $1,000 to two men in a confidence game yesterday.
He said the men came to him with the pretense of buying his hotel. They finally agreed to let him put up $1,000, promising him a big return on his investment in a short time.
The men took the money and then apparently skipped out.
Two Students Go To Columbia For Debate With M.U.
Two Jayhawk debaters, Mary Frances McAnaw and Betty Meuschke Stevens, argued in Columbia, Mo., yesterday on the topic, "Does American youth have an equal opportunity under our system of competitive enterprise?"
Miss McAnaw and Mrs. Stevens were the first women ever to represent Kansas in varsity debate.
They debated a no-decision contest against two University of Missouri students. The debate, which was followed by an open forum, was sponsored by the departments of speech of both universities.
Next week two Missouri students will come here for a similar debate.

Commissions For Engineers
A proposed plan for retaining electrical engineering students in schools and colleges with provisions for commissioning them upon graduation, has been received by Prof. P.W. Viesselman, chairman of the Vocational Guidance Committee from Col. Henry L. P. King of the Signal Corps.
The plan states that the Chief Signal Officer has been authorized by the War Department to enlist junior and senior electrical engineering or electronic physics students in the Reserve Corps. Students enlisted in this corps will be deferred from active service until the completion of their academic courses.
Applications for enlistment should be made directly to the Chief Signal Officer and should be accompanied by a statement from the professor of military science and tactics concerning the possibilities of the candidate as officer, material, and a statement from the Dean of Engineering certifying that the candidate might reasonably expect to be graduated.
If the application is approved, the candidate will be enlisted and assigned to the Enlisted Section, Electronics Training Group, Office of Chief Signal Officer, Washington, D. C.
Two months prior to graduation the Dean of Engineering will notify the Washington office what men will be graduated; upon receipt of notification the Chief Signal Officer will process the request for appointment as Second Lieutenant, Army of the United States, for duty with the Signal Corps.

Two-Year Course In Engineering To be Offered
Detailed plans for the training of skilled craftsmen to aid in war industries were announced recently by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Under the plan, certificates of industrial technology may be granted at the end of two years. The plan was developed by J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture. Jakosky spent several weeks in eastern industrial centers studying labor requirements in industrial plants.
Officials said that the two year course would be designed primarily for students who may not desire to complete their regular engineering course because of the probability of military service.
However, Jakosky said that the work would not be of the trade school or vocational training type. He said the standards would be similar to those required of regular engineering students.
The course would be designed to train students to take jobs as foremen, unit process supervisors, maintenance engineers, shift bosses, and other jobs of a supervisory nature.
Historic Drum Still In Use After Five Wars
San Francisco—(UP) —A drum whose rolling beat helped inspire George Washington's frost-bitten forces at Valley Forge is still being used here by Charles J. Bessette, a recent arrival in San Francisco.
The instrument has been through four wars since the American Revolution. Bessette once used it in recital at Carnegie Hall. The drum is insured for $5,000 by the Smithsonian Institution, which will inherit it when Bessette dies.
According to Bessette, the drum was one of 90 ordered by Gen. Washington from a cabinet-maker in Flushing, L.L., during the Revolution. A fire destroyed all but nine of them. Bessette's is the only one still in use. The others are in museums and private collections.
"It came into my family in 1848, during the Mexican War, when it was given to my grandfather's uncle," Bessette said. "My grandfather, Tommy Bessette, carried it in the Civil War, and my father, Mose, took it through the Spanish-American War.
Bradshaw to Study Air Raid Protection in New York
"My father drummed on it for 28 years with Sousa, and when the World War came along he gave it to me and I took it to France with the 'Fighting 69th.'"
Prof. G. W. Bradshaw, associate professor of civil engineering, will leave next week for a two-week course in aerial bombardment protection at New York University. Prof. Bradshaw is one of 50 representatives from universities with strong departments of civil engineering selected by the Federal Security Agency of the United States Office of Education to receive this instruction.

Keeler Directs Safety Classes
Guy V. Keeler, director of the Engineering Science Management Defense Training program and assistant director of the extension division on the Hill, has been appointed coordinator for educational class work for safety engineering in Kansas and Missouri, except for St. Louis, Chancellor Dene W. Malott announced today. The appointment was made by the National Safety Council with headquarters in Chicago.
In his new post, Keeler will supervise the setting up of classes in safety engineering through this area in connection with the engineering defense program.
Already classes have either been established or have received final approval for organization, in Lawrence, Hutchinson, Wichita, Kansas City, Kan., Kansas City, Mo., Coffeeville and Pittsburg. Others are scheduled to be opened later at various points throughout the two-state district.

Lawyers Finish Short Courses In Four Years
The war emergency has made it necessary to speed both training for and admission to the bar. Law students here may now secure both the A.B. and the LLB. degrees necessary for admission to the state bar in a little more than four calendar years, and thereby comply fully with the requirements for admission to the bar pursuant to the recent changes, Frederick J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, said today.
Under present plans, the law school will offer a fifteen week session this next summer. With such an arrangement, students will be able to complete six semesters of law within two calendar years, and by utilizing the recently enlarged summer session in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, may be able to obtain both the bachelor of arts and bachelor of laws degrees in a little more than four years.
"Under the new ruling of the Supreme Court, a candidate for admission to the bar from now until further notice, must still offer two degrees, the collegiate and the law degrees, but the candidate will be entitled to obtain both degrees according to such arrangement as the University provides," said Dean Moreau.
Still Need Two Degrees
Persons planning to practice law in Kansas who now have the 94 hours required by the College are eligible for the first year of law at the end of which the College will confer the A. B. degree as in the past.
Offer Law Courses to All
"It is my understanding, too, that regular college students are entitled to take up fo 20 hours of professional credit on the A.B. degree. Hence, candidates for the regular A. B. degree in the College, having 104 hours or so in the College could take the remaining 20 hours in the Law School. This plan probably has advantages over the combined degree plan in that it admits of even more background, and enables the student to finish in just about the same time."
Guaranteed Fresh Nuts At Jayhawker Sunday

Hollywood, which is always threatening to up and do something which has never been done on the screen before, has done it at last. The screen city has made good its threat of the last four decades by producing "Hellzapoppin" which bears no resemblance to any motion picture ever made before or likely to be made in the future. The screen version of this adventure in lunacy unloosed, which departed from stage tradition as widely as it now diverges from any other kind of screen comedy, comes to the Jayhawker on Sunday with its original stars, Ole Olesen and Chic Johnson, and Martha Raye, Hugh Herbert, Jane Frazee, Mischa Auer and Robert Paige as featured fanatics.
The whole thing is a riot excepting for one scene where a batch of bathing beauties are going through their paces in a $45,000 swimming pool, its a beautiful scene, they all drown—its got us all going nuts.
Straight-jackets will be furnished for everyone who attends as the
Lawrence police force is entirely inadequate to handle the nuts that will wander hopelessly out of the theatre.

former resident of Templin hall, will
act as student proctor at Jollife this
semester. The hall will be operated
on the same basis as the other co-
operative halls, Battenfeld, Carruth,
and Templin. Each man will de-
posit $19 at the first of the month,
and if the average total expense
runs under this amount per man,
there will be a refund at the end
of the year. At the first of each
semester a $7.50 maintenance fee
will also be paid.
Thirty men are starting the new semesth in Jolliffe Hall, the fourth cooperative dormitory for men. The new hall established at K.U. by the Endowment Association, was formerly the Acacia fraternity house and was purchased from the fraternity last month. The hall can house 36 men.
Men who wish to make applications for residence in the new hall are asked to apply at the office of Henry Werner, adviser of men. Applicants will be judged on their former record, financial need, and character.
Due to the present war conditions men with C averages will be considered, although the required scholarship average of the other houses is somewhat higher.
Frozen Dehydrated Foods Better Diet
Austin, Texas—(UP)—New quickfreezing and dehydration processes for food are going to make the diet for this war's American soldiers better than it was for the doughboys of 1918.
That's the word of Luis Bartlett University of Texas engineer and inventor of a process for dehydrating sweet potatoes.
"Especially at training camps is it practical to use dried foods," said Bartlett. "It solves a transportation problem and releases tin cans for where they are needed—at the front."
Some concentrated, dehydrate foods such as yams might be used by men at the front. Frozen foods generally are most suited for serving to soldiers behind the lines.
Bartlett and his assistants are increasing research on preserving carrots and vegetables in palatable dehydrated form.

Stadium May
House Fliers
There is a possibility that 500 U.S. Army flying cadets will be housed in barracks underneath Memorial stadium. At present, school officials are awaiting the arrival of army representatives to inspect the site in determining whether or not it would be suitable for cadet quarters.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott has presented the stadium as being what the Army needed for barracks. Edward Brush, head of the aeronautical department, went to Washington and offered use of the campus for the new plan in conditioning air corps recruits.
The officials there said that a representative would be sent to make an inspection of the location, providing the war department would give definite approval to the proposed system.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1942
The University has made detailed construction plans so that barracks may be constructed upon short notice if the school is selected for the basic training course. Malott and his staff realize that many schools are requesting the training center, but the Chancellor has repeatedly advised Washington that the University is eager to cooperate in any way possible in war preparations.

"We urge students finishing courses this semester to give their books to the boys in the service, instead of taking them home to add, to the collection in the attic." C. M. Baker, head of the campaign committee said.
Mrs. Verdun R. Daste, and son, Dale Roper, who have been in New Orleans since Dale's birth Dec. 20, arrived here yesterday to be with their husband and father, Verdun R.

Q.U. Is Hard Hit, Coeds Outnumber Men in Norman
NUMBER 84
The University's 9 per cent drop in enrollment this semester is only approximately half the drop in the enrollment of the University of Oklahoma at Norman.
The Oklahoma Daily reports a total loss of 17 per cent of last semester's enrollment, with the School of Law being the hardest hit. The only classification of any nature which showed no decrease was the current crop of coeds.
Official figures have not yet been compiled to show whether or not the war has-brought about a more-wo-men-than-men condition on this campus. The total enrollment this semester is 3657.
The School of Law honor roll for students making better than a "B" average during the first semester of this year was announced today.
Twelve students met the requirements. Senior law students on the honor roll are Milton Allen, Neal Hambleton, David Prager, Lela Siebert, Alan Sleeper, and Harold Wilson.
Twelve Lawyers In Honor Group
Charles Case, Robert Luck, Douglas Malone, and James Malone are the second year students, and Page Benson and Robert Douglas are the first year students named on the semester roll.

Upon graduation Scamell will report to Northwestern University for a 3-month training period, after which he will be commissioned an Ensign and be placed immediately on active fleet duty.
Scamell is the nephew of Rear Admiral Alva D. Bernhard, commandant of the Naval Air Base at Corpus Christi, Texas. He comes from Topeka.
Dance for Defense Tonight Stamp Stompers Jive
To give a boost to the national drive for the sale of defense bonds and to stimulate student interest in the victory campaign, the Student Union Activities board is sponsoring the Stamp Stomp, a 3-hour dance in the Memorial Union ballroom from 8:30 to 11:30 tonight.
High spot of the evening will be the presentation of a $25 defense bond and five $1 defense stamps to the winners of the
raille. Anyone attending the dance may put the ticket stub in the box and be eligible for the awards.
The $25 bond may be cashed in now for $18.75; in ten years it will reach maturity and pay its holder face value. The prizes will be awarded in the ballroom after intermission.
Clayton Harbur and his band are playing for the dance. Bridge and pingpong tables will be set up in the Kansas room for the more sedentary Stompers.
State College, Miss. — Mississippi State College's roster indicates "diehard" political convictions on the part of at least one Southern parent. The roster lists a student named "State Right Jones," who recently was chosen "best dancer" in a college popularity poll.
Honor Cadets Take Army Exam
The tickets are 30 cents, including tax, and may be bought at the door. Today women members of the social committee of the Union Activities board sold tickets on the campus. Ferril Brown and Norma Anderson are in charge of the dance.
Five honor graduates of the University R.O.T.C. unit were given physical examinations by an army board yesterday. These candidates are eligible for commissions in the regular army.
The men examined were Ben Mattassarin, Ross Ley, John D. Morgan Hohn H. Wilson, Jr., and Arthur Wahl.
Those on the examining board were Col. Douglas Cairnes,Col. Burr Irwin, Kansas City,and Col. Jesse Harris, General Staff, Omaha.
The workshop is designed for employees or students of the University who are interested in working with jewelry, leather, or the other handicrafts.
The Hobby Workshop will hold its first meeting of the semester from 7:30 to 10 o'clock next Tuesday night in Frank Strong hall.

53 Students In Reading Lab
The University reading laboratory under the direction of Bert A. Nash, professor of education, has an enrollment of 53 students, ranging from freshmen to graduate students, and from all schools of the University. No more students are being taken.
Offering training for more rapid and intensive reading, the course has been in operation for five years. The classes will meet three times a week until May 1.
Instructors of the five separate classes are Miss Dorothy Pollock, assistant in education in the University High School; George Hatt, assistant of the curriculum laboratory; C. L. Hutcheson, graduate student; Madison Coombs, assistant in the School of Education; and Vivian Hohl, junior in the School of Education.
L. T. Tupy, professor of law, speaking before the weekly meeting of the Lawrence Kiwanis club yesterday, interpreted the increases in federal taxes as indication that the government intended to pay as much as possible of the cost of war now, instead of leaving heavy debts for the next generation.
Tupy Sees Early Financing of War
The excise tax is the most generally applicable means of increasing the federal revenue, Professor Tupy said, since by that means the government can tax occasions, privileges, rights, and uses. Inheritance, income, and gift taxes are used to supplement the excise.
Professor Tupy approved of this plan, but said that the present volume of spending would necessitate the continuance of the high-tax rates in the future.
Former federal tax rates have been increased 10 per cent and new taxes have been added. "Everyone pays tax on something," he said.

While at the University, Ensign Brown lettered in track; he is a member of the Phi Chi fraternity.
He completed preliminary training at Kansas City and advanced work at Pensacola, Fla., before being selected for specialized training in takeoffs and landings from aircraft carriers.
U.S., Brazil Plan to Develop Amazon Basin
Washington, Feb. 13 — (UP) A project for development of the Amazon Valley basin-2,600,00 square miles of mystery and fabulous wealth—is being studied by the United States and Brazil, the United Press was informed today.
Plans have been drawn in considerable detail by government experts here for the proposal which is officially known as the "Amazon Basin Development project."
Plans Speeded by War
Experts said it was not just another study project but a plan that will call for adequate funds for developing wild rubber, valuable oils, strategic minerals, timber and countless other products known to exist in that area.
Such a project for the basin-almost as large as the land area of the United States—long has been cherished in Brazil and in this country. The war-time need for materials hastened the plans for development.
U. S. To Send Experts
According to the plan drawn here the United States would send a group of outstanding technical experts to the Amazon region to make a study of the basin in cooperation with Brazilians.
Officials said that once this project with Brazil is started similar cooperative ventures with other Amazon valley countries — Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia—probably would follow.
Scientists long have considered the Amazon valley as probably the greatest undeveloped area in the world. Scientific expeditions have brought back stories for years of its great potential wealth.
THE WEATHER
Somewhat colder weather is indicated, although snow is not expected to fall in this territory.
High School Debate Meet Opens Today
Verbal fists began flying this morning on the question of compulsory military service as debaters from 20 Kansas high schools gathered on Mt. Oread for the annual debate tournament sponsored by the Kansas State High School Activities association.
Divided into three classes, the schools, either district championship winners or guests of the Activities association, will debate on a round robin schedule, each team trying for first place in its class.
Class A Has Seven
In class A, district championship winners are Topeka, Russell, Newton, and Winfield; Wyandotte, Wichita North, and Dodge City were invited to compete. The Coffeyville team, a district winner, was forced to withdraw from the tourney when one of their debaters became ill. The class A schedule was rearranged to include six rounds instead of seven
District champions in class B are Hiawatha, Bonner Springs, Abilene, Kingman, and Ellsworth. Invited schools in this class are Herington and Effingham.
Replacing the elimination process formerly used, the double round robin schedule provides for each school to debate each of the other schools in its respective class. Three judges,chosen from University faculty members and advanced forensic students, will be used in each debate. First and second place winners in each class will receive a trophy from the University. Each member of the two winning teams in each class will be presented a medal by the High School Activities association.
Blue Rapids, Cunningham, Kingsdown, and Lebanon are the district winners in class C, with Moundridge invited by the association.
Use Round Robin
Green hall, Blake hall, Fraser hall, Frank Strong hall, and the journalism building are being used for the debate meetings.
Move Crash Victim To Watkins Hospital
Clifton A. Goddard, sophomore engineer, has been moved to Watkins Memorial hospital. Goddard was taken to Lawrence Memorial hospital Sunday, Feb. 1, following an accident in which his motorcycle collided with a car as he was going north on Indiana street.
Still in a critical condition, Goddard rallied enough by yesterday to recognize his father, Dr. Clifton Goddard, and his sister, Constance, who were here from their home in East Hampton, Mass.

Fellows, you ought to have learned by now that you let your best girl down on Valentine's Day.
Tomorrow she'll be waiting on the door step for the mail man, telegraph boy, flower trucks or what not and if you forget her—wow!—you might as well forget her for good. Of course, if she had been on her toes she would have sent you a valentine Thursday as a gentle reminder
Now you may think that Valentine's Day and the rest that goes with it is a lot of foolishness, but it is all a custom that has long prevailed. Even the Romans paid tribute to the lover's festival. The young men and women drew lots to see which would be each other's
A Valentine remembrance is pretty certain to bring good results and if you can make your gift a little different or something special there will be star dust in her eyes and her glance will have more of the meaning you've been wanting.
But if nothing else seems right and you are fairly certain that there is a slight tendency in your favor from the girl in question put a big red bow around your neck and no doubt the effect will be marvelous and the results immediate.
The old traditionals—candy, flowers, or a card will always fill the bill. But a record with a special meaning or some odd nick-nack that she liked in a display window would be doing the thing up right. You could make it really exciting for her with a telephone call every hour, special messages and a day filled with surprises. Or if you are clever with a pen, you could write her a letter that she will keep forever and tied in a blue ribbon.
With a limited income you can't do the best by her, but there are one cent valentines that can be a revelation (don't waste your penny on the comic ones).

Thayer has been selected for the Naval Air Station at Miami for six weeks of advanced training. Upon successful completion of this course he will receive his Navy Wings and a commission as ensign in the Naval Reserve.
He joined the Navy at Kansas City and went through elimination training at the air base there before reporting to Jacksonville last September.
While in school, Thayer was a member of the swimming team, the Engineering Student council, and Phi Gamma Delta.

They were all good and it was evident from the start that the Kansans would have to play their best ball of the year to win the game. The Jayhawks probably thought so too but it didn't do them any good for they promptly proceeded to turn in their worst performance of the season. This doesn't detract from the Sailors greatness for as hot as they were last night it would have been difficult for any team in the country to topple them.
But Phog Allen's boys did play poorly. Their offense was pitifully weak, only 13 shots of 74 attempts at the basket being good for two points each. In contrast to this the Sailors hit 21 buckets out of 67 shots and therin lies the trouble. Most of it, that is, for it didn't matter after the scoring downfall that the team failed to exhibit any rebound punch or to hurry back on defense and meet the Navy players as they dribled down the court.

ST. VALENTINE Hearts and Flowers Same As Ever
Cupids, arrows, fringe, darts tell the story of Valentines from the earliest days of their popularity to the modern "Hi Babe, I could go for you" technique!
The idea of Valentine's day is thought to have been developed from a lover's festival in honor of the patron saint of love or from the survival of an old custom of a similar nature in Rome. In England where the practice of sending valentines developed, it was the early fashion to place names of young men and women in a box and draw
them out in pairs on the eve of the celebration. Those persons whose names were drawn together had to exchange gifts and be each others valentines throughout the year.
The Men Started It Off
As the custom grew in popularity, the women discontinued giving gifts, and men adopted the custom of expressing their love in cards and writing. America's first valentines were imported from England and France, and a sentimental or aristocratic portrait framed with rows of lace was the typical valentine of the early eighteenth century.
German contributions to the custom were usually transformation pictures of crude drawings in ink. The favorite subject was that of showing a lonely and sorrowful bachelor sitting and bemoaning his solitude. Upon lifting a small envelope-like flap, one could see what bliss life would have been for the old gentleman if he had the girl of his dreams.
Handmade Tokens of Love
Decorated with lace and flowers, the early American valentines were mostly handmade. Before 1830, bashful lovers resorted to "Valentine Writers," which were books of specially prepared verses and sentiment for those who wished a poem for their valentine.
The average home-made valentines reflected a great expenditure of labor and expression of love in the forms of cut paper with saw tooth edges, arranged so that unfolding disclosed continuous succession of penned sentiments.
Telescopic Construction Popular
Some valentines represented flowers, slit into lattice-like meshes so that upon pulling a thread attached to the heart of a rose, the entire portion rises in a cone of lacy strands, and exhibits further scenes of sentiment concealed in the depths of the bouquet.
Postal System A Valentine Boom
With the development of the postoffice, valentines flourished throughout the country. Some brave poetic souls ventured to write their own original poems.
The four words—fidelity, love, truth, and constancy—appeared on many of the cards of a hundred years ago. On one valentine elves were pictured as standing on vines of flowers and holding ribbons on which were printed, "Beneath religion's cloudless sky, the virtues bloom, the vices die." Poems like "Go Lovely Rose" followed, either in print or in
One of the valentines of the 1800's shows a maiden under an arching tree and an ardent youth pointing to an altar where hearts balancing themselves on their tips seem to be ready to burst into flames. The Virtues Proclaimed
the sender's own decorative hand writing.
Examples of the valentines of the nineteenth century contained pictures of altars and church spires. Cupids shooting arrows at an altar were common on cards which had ribbons attached to the back so that the gift could become a permanent wall fixture.
The Civil War brought forth valentines in the form of baby carriages with parasol shades, but by 1905 these had changed to mechanical valentines resembling the first automobiles. This latter type were made with an easel so that they could be used for mantelpiece displays.
They Keep Up With The Times
In 1915 the valentine custom went through a revolution, and all former examples were referred to as "Uglies." Moral valentines were the new fad, as well as the new comic examples which did little to soothe the receiver. One card pictured a schooner of beer followed by the advice, "Don't touch liquor or beer. Avoid them, as they are the ruin of thousands."
With the current emphasis upon military service, draft, a n d World War II, cupid has now dropped his bow and arrow and has taken to airplanes with the expression — "When you slap twelve Japs straight in a line, will you please be my valentine?"

British Refuse Jap Demands For Singapore
Tokyo, Feb. 13—(UP)—Japanese military observers were amazed by the "inhuman sense of duty" British army commanders have displayed in refusing Japanese demands to surrender Singapore, the Domei News Agency said today.
The observation followed news agency reports that Singapore's streets "ran with blood and its tropical quiet was shattered by swelling rifle, machine gun and artillery fire as Japanese forces routed British defenders out of the city in desperate street fighting."
A later dispatch from the Singapore front said Japanese forces were pushing the British steadily to the south and east. One unit advanced from Bukit Timah, highest point on the island, to a mile and a quarter east of the race course, it was said.
Push British Back
A second unit was said to have occupied a position two miles and a half south of Bukit Timah, and third unit, advancing from the north, pierced the jungle area south of the water reservoir.
Move Into Dock Area
Heavy fighting was going on in the center of the island, Domei said, with attackers and defenders mixing it up furiously. Japanese units which penetrated a corner of the city Wednesday morning were moving steadily toward the dock area yesterday afternoon in an effort to cut off British forces before they could reach evacuation boats waiting for out in the water for them, the agency said.
Other reports said Japanese troops were pouring into the city from all directions and the population had taken to shelters and basements.
Long Suffering Cop Saves A Blackout
Austin, Tex. (UP) — During a blackout test, Radio Patrolman Harold Campbell messaged police headquarters over his shortwave radio;
“There’s a lady out here on Allen street who won't put out her lights.”
"She says she's scared," Campbell answered.
trees who won't put out her light
"Why?") cried the dispatcher.
Police Chief R. D. Thorp listened in on the call.
"Tell him," he ordered, "to turn out those lights and stay with her until it's over."
Campbell took over from there and Austin's blackout was 100 per cent.

Student Reports Custer In Snakey Hollywood
Editor's Note: Out of the Kansan's essay contest on the subject of "Custer's Last Stand" came this piece of knocked-out Hill humor which is passed on to you without comment, but not without doubts.
Little Big Horn, Wyo., June 25 1876—As the swirling mists of battle lifted from the desolate windswept valley of the Little Big Horn late this afternoon, a new chapter was written in the annals of human conflict when six movie companies locked in titanic struggle for the exclusive movie right to Custer's Last Stand with Warner Brothers reported blitzing the five other companies on a far-flung front.
It is rumored that General Custer predicted that his epic stand would be made into a movie, and reportedly expressed the dying wish that Warner Brothers make the picture and star Errol Flynn.
Little Big Horn, Wyo., June 26—With Warner Brothers on the location front. . . production notes. . . Errol Flynn, star of the epic picture "They Died With Their Boots On" saw snakes in his dressing room this morning. A company of movie-extra infantrymen in period costumes has been detailed to keep Mr. Flynn's dressing room free of snakes.
Little Big Horn, Wyo., June 26,
12:31 p.m.) - Errol Flynn, star of the

Little Big Horn, Wyo., June 26 (5:45 p.m.)—Errol Flynn, star of the epic motion picture "They Died With Their Boots On" saw more snakes in his dressing room this afternoon. A regiment of movie-extra infantry-men in period costumes has been detailed to keep Mr. Flynn's dressing room free of snakes.
Little Big Horn, Wyo., June 26 — (10:37 p.m.)—A crisis faces the production staff of "The Died With Their Boots On." Errol Flynn saw more snakes in his dressing room tonight and all of the extras are now in uniform keeping his dressing room free from snakes. There are no extras left to make the picture. The production staff is now in conference with the writers.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Continuing with a brief glance at basketball teams west of the Mississippi it appears that Colorado is the only team that can definitely count on coming to Kansas City for the N.C.A.A. at this date.
The situation in the Valley is in quite a muddle at present and won't be settled probably until the Oklahoma-Kansas clash at Norman. A sidelight on that game, by the way, is the report that a Big Six representative from a school other than Oklahoma and Kansas will be in attendance to observe the crowd and evaluate the sportsmanship of the spectators at Norman. As the date, Feb. 27, approaches new developments continue to arise which should make the financial moguls at O.U. swell with joy. If 10,000 people tried to get into the Oklahoma-Oklahoma Aggie game last year there should be more than that try for this Big Six clash. At least a new Oklahoma fieldhouse record should be set that night.
RICE IS MOVING UP
Going on south it appears that the Rice Owls are slowly creeping up on Arkansas. At present, Arkansas has a record of five wins and one loss. Rice, which defeated Texas Christian last night, 44 to 37, moved into second place over their opponent and now the Owls have a record of five wins and two losses. Arkansas plays Texas A. and M. tonight and tomorrow night which should add two more victories to the Razorback string. Rice plays Southern Methodist tomorrow night and should wind up the victor. The show-down will come when Arkansas goes to Houston for the final two games with that school. R. C. Pitts and Gordon Carpenter are the leading Razorbacks. Pitts boasts a 13.2 average for points scored in conference games. Carpenter has a 10.7 average. Kinney and Closs are the Rice stalwarts with point averages of 14.5 and 8.7 respectively. Dwight Parks of Baylor however is the loops leading scorer with an average of 15.9 points for eight games.
Moving out to the Rockies it is sufficient to note that Colorado is undefeated in conference play and only a snow-slide down the slopes of Mt. Long could top a score run up by the Buffalo machine. Their greatest achievement of the season was a 59 to 53 triumph over the Wyoming Cowboys. The Wyoming crew was rated as the toughest opponent that would face Frosty Cox's crew but they were subdued without too much difficulty. Bob Doll, the California wizard, is leading the Buffers at present but he is getting able assistance from Kansans Pete McCloud and George Hamburg.
Out on the West Coast there is quite a turmoil. Stanford was having things quite it's own way until Southern Cal came along the other night and Julie Bescos' Trojans walked off with a 27 to 23 triumph. As a result Jim Seminoff, U.S.C. reserve center, gained a starting berth and will be in the opening line-up tonight against U.C.L.A. The leading scorer of the Southern division of the Pacific Coast league is Ernie Handelsman. The U.C.L.A. southpaw forward jumped from 20th place to 1st place in the standings during the past weekend when he tallied 53 points in two games against the California Bruins. Ed Voss and Jim Pollard of Stanford are the second and third place holders.
The real fight however develops in the Northern division where Washington State leads at present with seven victories and four defeats. Close behind is Oregon State with six wins and four losses. The University of Washington Huskies had a chance to go into a first place tie with the Cougars but lost Tuesday night to Idaho after beating them the night before. The Huskie record now reads seven won, five lost. The win for Idaho Tuesday night was the Vandals only conference victory thus far this season.
Illinois, the outstanding favorite east of the Mississippi to enter the N.C. A.A. finals, dropped its first Big Ten game of the season this week to the Indiana Hoosiers. The Illini still maintained their position at the top of the Big Ten with a record of seven wins and one loss. Minnesota is in second place with seven victories and three defeats followed by Indiana with six and three, and Purdue and Wisconsin are tied for fourth place with five wins, three losses. Johnny Kotz of Wisconsin is the leading scorer with an average of 16.5 in eight games. Otto Graham, the Northwestern sophomore football star, is next in averages with 13.5 followed by Forrest Sprowl of Purdue with 12.8.
One of the oddities about the Illinois team is the fact that four of the five regulars are sophomores. Three of these players were all-state their senior year in high school and another sophomore, but not a regular, was also a member of the all-state five in 1940. The four regulars are Ken Menke, a cousin of Bill Menke, the Indiana and Great Lakes flash; Gene Vance; Andy Phillip, and Jack Smiley. Only the latter did not make all-state but Ed Parker, the substitute, makes up for this. The lone letterman on the starting five is Vic Wukovits, senior center.
The captain of this year's team is Bill Hocking, yet he seldom plays much more than half of a game. Hank Sachs, senior guard, returned to school this semester and although he was a regular last year before becoming ineligible, he cannot break into the Illini's opening quintet this season. This was the first season in many that not a single man on the Illini squad became ineligible at mid-semester.
AMERINE AND CORPUS CHRISTI
It seems that Corpus Christi not only has K.U.'s "Dashing Dick" but also a pretty fair basketball team. The other night they defeated a city team from Austin, 64 to 40. And the latter team was no softy either for it had Speedy Houpt and Udell Moore, two former regulars on the University of Texas basketball team which lost two games to the Jayhawkers here last year.
Word from Wyoming indicates that the N.C.A.A. semi-finalists of last year have an even better team this year but have had a little tough luck in dropping three games. "Wyoming was just cold and the other teams (Utah, Brigham Young, and Colorado) were just too hot," so the story runs.
I-S Cyclones Come Monday For Tough Go
"Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers will meet the Cyclones from Iowa State Monday night in a game which will probably prove to be one of the toughest of the season. Though the Jayhawkers have the advantage of playing on the home court, it will take an excellent brand of basketball to stop the cagers from Iowa State.
The Cyclones tied with Kansas for the Big Six crown last year. Predictions early in the season marked them as a likely contender again this year. This prediction will probably not prove true, as
IO
LEON UKNES
Iowa State Guard
the Iowa State five has lost three conference games so far this season. Last year's game at Lawrence between these two teams was a thriller with the Jayhawks eking out a 44-14 victory over Coach Louis Menze the quintet.
The Cyclones so far this season have paced by Al Budolfson with an average of 13.1 points a game. This average holds third place in Big Six standings. High scorer for the Kansans is Charles Black with an average of 13.8. Budolfson was an all-conference performer last year, and is backed up by Bob Harris, who held the same title as a sophomore.
The Jayhawkers, at this point in the season, hold a better conference average than do the Cyclones. The Cyclones have won four and lost three for an average of .571. Coach Allen's boys have an average of .800, having won four out of five games played.
The only Kansas loss in conference play was the Iowa State clash earlier in the season when the Cyclones won out 45 to 41.
Kansas State Here Tomorrow Year's First Track Meet
Coach H. W. "Bill" Hargiss' Jayhawker track squad will ring up the curtain on Kansas' indoor season against a veteran crew from Kansas State tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 on the cinder path under the east wing of Memorial stadium.
Spearhead of the Wildcat attack will be Ed Darden, a senior and team captain, and Al Rues, sophomore transfer from Ft. Scott Junior College.

Busy man for the Jayhawk team will be Ralph Schaake who will compete in shot put, high jump and both high and low hurdles.
Compared with Kansas' six lettermen — Edwards, Pollom, Schaake, Fred Eberhardt, Jim Cordell, and Clarence Miller—Kansas State lost no lettermen to the draft, enlistment, or failure in grade requirements. Haylett has the following lettermen returning: Darden, Rues, Jim Johns, Rufus Miller, Don Borthwick, Jim Upham, Kent Duewe, Merrill Rockhold, John Fieser, and Ken Makalous.

Shoemaker Compares Germany with Old Spain
Germany's position in the present-day world is much like that of Spain in the sixteenth century. The seeds of Spain's downfall were sprouting at the time of her greatest expansion much as they are in Germany now.
So thinks Prof. William H. Shoemaker, chairman of the department of romance languages. Professor Shoemaker, a thorough student of Spanish history, draws some remarkable parallels between past Spanish history and present-day Germany. much as Germany now.
"Of course, I don't have any inside knowledge so I have to draw my conclusions from what I read," Professor Shoemaker said. "All I know is what I read in the papers but just the same, it seems to me that the likeness is clear to any one who knows Spanish history."
"History Repeats Itself"
Times have changed both politically and economically since Spain was at its peak. Nations are no longer ruled by the mercantilistic theory and the sudden influx of gold that helped runin Spain economically is not apt to strike Germany. Despite this, however, history repeats itself, Professor Sheoemaker indicated.
Spain reached the point of its greatest military strength after the expulsion of the Jews and the Moors. This act struck a death blow to much of Spanish culture and commercial activity. Industry and commerce dwindled although as a military power Spain did advance after this. Economically she prospered because of the New World gold but as the supply of treasure decreased she dropped from power. The same gold that sustained her power undermined her economic structure for it prevented the natural development of her industries.
Germany's great military power has come since her expulsion and persecution of the Jews but like Spain, she lost much of her finest culture by this act. Many of her most prominent men of letters and science have left the country and her industries appear to be sadly disjointed.
Nazis Control Thoughts
Politically, Professor Shoemaker believes the parallels to be even more remarkable. "In Spain it was the Inquisition that drove the people out; in Germany it is the Gestapo," he explained. "The purpose of both organizations was to control the thoughts of the population. In Spain they wanted one religious faith, Roman Catholicism. In Germany they want one political faith, National Socialism, itself a religion of fanatical communicants. In Spain the absolute power of the king and the Inquisition killed the first faint stirrings of democracy. In Germany Hitler's power and the Gestapo have done away with freedom and substituted an absolute dictatorship."
Spain, like Germany, had its reluctant allies. The people of that day had no more to say than the people of Roumania, Hungary, and others, when they entered the war on the side of Germany. The ties that bound people together then were not nationalistic but dynastic. It was not the advancement of governments that was sought but the advancement of ruling families. The people followed after and suffered whether they wished to or not. It was the power politics of the day. Spain held the Netherlands, had armies in Italy, had sections of Germany and was trying to overcome France, a defeated but not conquered country,
Spain Had Troubles
Spain too had her troubles. Her armies were the finest in Europe but were thinly spread trying to control the subjugated countries. The Dutch were in open revolt, and unrest was rampant in the other countries. Spain, like Germany, had found it easier to acquire new territories than to hold them. Much as the Russian and African wars are draining German-man-power did the Americans drain that of Spain. Over-extended, she gradually weakened and collapsed.
England presents itself as the last point of similarity between the positions of the two countries. Germany must conquer England to hold Europe. Spain needed control of the sea to hold Europe and England was threatening that control. Hitler has not tried his long predicted invasion of England but Spain under Philip did try and failed. The Great Armada, beaten by storms and British seamanship, was Spain's great effort but even its defeat did not ruin Spain. A new Armada was built and destroyed when Drake at Cadiz performed his famous "singeing of the King of Spain's beard." A "singeing" much as the R.A.F. has singed Hitler's "beard" with their continual bombing of the invasion coast.
"That's the way it appears to me," Professor Shoemaker finished. "Spain over extended herself and could not beat England. My only hope is that the parallel won't continue and that Germany won't be years in weakening as Spain was. Spain's rise was slow and her fall was slow. Germany's rise has been swift and may her fall be equally swift."
Tyro Teachers Take Up Tasks
Students in art whose applications were approved are Jean Blue and Cordella Reazin. Rilla Jensen was accepted to teach social science. Warren Newcomer, Irene McAdoo, T. P. Hunter, Bob Johnson, and Ed Hall will be practice teachers in physical education.
Applications from 22 students for supervised teaching in the University High School this semester have been accepted by the committee on administration of University Teachers Diplomas.
Applicants accepted in music were Jeanne Anderson, Ada Catherine Croll, Marilyn Duncan, Edgar Haage, Aliere Witherup, Wilma Jean Pennick, Jeanne Crites, Phoebe Jane Hahn, and Clamell Wehrli. English teachers will be Patricia Gordon and Wilma Miner.
Jean L. Miller will teach home economics, and Loyd W. Breakey will be the practice teacher in science. Elizabeth Newman will be the supervised teacher in the subject of speech and dramatics.
Quill Members Select Staff For Magazine
The staff for the magazine published by the Quill club was named at the meeting of the group last night. Robert Humphrey, college senior, will be managing editor; Bill Feeney, college junior, prose editor; John Waggoner, college junior, poetry editor; and Jean Sellers, college junior, business manager.
Assistants will be Virginia Tieman, college junior, in charge of advertising; and Lucille York, college junior, in charge of subscriptions. Peggy Benson, college junior, is in charge of sales.
A new meeting date was set in order that Quill club would not conflict with the new World at War course being offered Thursday nights. The club voted to have super meetings at the Memorial Union cafeteria at 5:30 p.m. Thursday twice a month and continue the meeting until the hour of the World at War class.
The first dinner meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. next Thursday in the Union cafeteria.
Lab Technicians Needed by U.S.
An alarming shortage of trained bacteriologists and technicians has already been revealed since this country has been at war, Dr. Noble P. Sherwood, chairman of the department of bacteriology, said today in outlining the opportunities afforded young women to be of service to their country in this field.
An almost overwhelming flood of letters asking for the services of competent technicians, both in government and in private service, lay on Dr. Sherwood's desk as he spoke of the opportunities for service.
Urgent requests were there from Col. W. H. Bailey, chief of the military hospital at Ft. Sill, Okla., for four technicians. Col. Bailey is a son of Prof. Bailey, former professor at the University of Kansas for whom Bailey Laboratories are named. There was a request from Tulane University, from Wayne University, from the Kansas State Board of Health, and a whole file of others.
More than 200 Kansas graduates, he said, have been placed in positions as laboratory technicians in every state in the Union, and in U.S. possessions. A half dozen, he indicated, are located in Honolulu.
Dr. Sherwood looked at them regrettfully. "I am sorry," he said, "we just don't have enough girls to fill these important positions."
Fine Arts Senior Gives Piano Recital
Ada Lee Fuller, fine arts senior,
presented the second of this year's
series of recitals Wednesday night.
She was assisted by Mary Louise
Belcher, fine arts junior, and Lois
Worrel, fine arts sophomore.
Miss Fuller's piano numbers included the Bass-Busoni chorale prelude, "Come Holy Ghost"; Chopin's Etude, opus 10, no. 7; the Scherzo in C sharp minor; Liszt's "Dance of the Gnomes"; and the Liebling Florence Waltz.
Fill Army Mail Boxes Men Want Letters
In a letter recently received from Bob Rowlands, an ensign in the U.S. Navy and stationed at Pearl Harbor, Rowlands makes a request for all friends of Americans in Hawaii to send them as many letters as possible. "Mail," he writes, "is one of the few pleasures we have out here."
"The appreciation of the American way of life and the sacredness with which it is cherished will never be illustrated more dynamically than it was by these boys and men as they rose up 100 per cent strong to strike back, on that fateful day, at the misinformed humans who challenged the veracity of its value.
The letter was received by the Soroptimist club, a local women's organization, of which his mother, Mrs. Mary Rowlands, is a member; because the club had sent him a box of candy for Clifford. Rowlands, grandy.
"I have a request that I wish to make to you, and I would appreciate very much your passing it on to as many people as you possibly can. It is this. If you know anyone in the service outside of the continental limits of the United States, please write them a letter or a note. Whether they be a friend of yours or a friend of an acquaintance, drop them some kind of a line.
Letters Help Morale
ated from the University in 1938.
The letter reads:
"I wish it were possible for me to put in writing the experiences that have been mine since I left Lawrence; of life as it is now lived on a blacked out island and of many other things that are but questions in your own minds. I could fill pages with acts of heroism that I saw myself and many more with acts that I have merely heard about.
American Way Cherished
"Mail is one of the few pleasures we have out here, and our only contact with our former way of living. A letter, a remembrance, does more for the morale of a man than anything else. No matter how small the acquaintanceship, the idea that there is someone on the mainland who realizes that he is over here, who has bothered to wonder how he is, and has had enough interest to write him, creates a certain satisfied feeling that cannot be explained by words.
"There is no sadder sight in the world than a sailor, several thousand miles from home, hungry for news and remembrance, walking away from mail distribution empty handed, knowing that it will be ten days before he can possibly get any mail."
Bonds or bondage? Buy U.S. Savings Bonds.
Mrs. Marvin LeSeur To Speak Over KFKU
"Why Buy Defense Bonds?" will be the subject of an address by Mrs. Marvin LeSeur, County Auditor of Douglas County and former professor of public finance at the University of Kansas, to be given at 6:15 tonight over radio station KFKU under the auspices of the local chapter of the League of Women Voters.
The address will be one of a series entitled "Democracy as Usual," and will carry into action the wartime program of the League of Women Voters as recently promulgated by the national organization. In wartime, these women hold, there is great necessity for understanding and cooperation of all citizens, and at the level of local, state and national problems of purely civilian import, there is the problem of preserving the mechanics of democracy in good working order while attention is likely to be centered elsewhere.
Mrs. Laurel Anderson, president of the Lawrence League, will open the broadcast.
Marshall Butler Recital Wednesday
Marshall Butler will present a prono recital Wednesday evening in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall. Butler, a fine arts senior, was to have performed in April; but since he is subject to military call very soon the date of the program was advanced.
Butler is a student of Ruth Orectu, and came to the Hill from the University of Kentucky. He has appeared a soloist with several musical organizations.
The program he will present will include solos from Brahms, Schumann, Chopin, Debussy, Abigen, Vogrich, Mompou. The last number will be the opening movement of the Tschaikowsky "Concerto in B flat" with Miss Orcutt at the second piano.

Allen Expects Another Tough Fight Tomorrow
To be or not to be is the question as Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's championship-minded Jayhawk quintet moves against Sid Held and Co. of Nebraska here tomorrow night.
Coach Allen is quite dubious about the outcome however as the Cornhuskers always put up a stiff fight against the Jayhawkers. Last year at Lawrence the Kansans experienced a tough fight before downing the Nebraskans, 44 to 38. This game was just a breather though compared to the tussle at Lincoln where the Jayhawks barely managed to eke out a 55 to 53 victory. A Win Would Move KU Up.
Nebraska always plays a "rough and tumble" game and this in itself allows a big chance for an upset. The Husker triumph over Iowa State earlier this year, 39 to 33,
Arnold Flashes Form On Kodak Cage Team
Setting a hot pace in the Rochester, N.Y. Industrial League is Jim Arnold, letterman forward on last year's campionship team. He now is employed by the Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochester and plays with the Eastman team.
In 14 games Arnold has scored 183 points, to average almost 14 points per contest. Demonstrating the type of free throwers Dr. F.C. Allen turns out at K.U., Arnold has converted 37 out of 41 charity tosses.
Starting with Eastman as a bookkeeper last fall, Arnold has worked up to a position where he has complete responsibility for the accounting involving all Eastman outlets in one geographical section, which includes fourteen Eastern states.
proves that the team has definite power.
In view of this fact Allen is considering juggling his lineup to put on the floor tomorrow those players whose attitude apears the best for the game. T. P. Hunter, who has played vastly improved ball of late, will probably not start for he seems to play his best ball when inserted later in the game when the pressure is on.
A win would boost Kansas into a deadlock with the idle Oklahoma Sooners who now top the Big Six basketball race by half a game, whereas a loss would put Nebraska into a third place tie with Iowa State, leaving Kansas in second place a game behind Oklahoma.
On the theory of "stop Held and you stop Nebraska," Kansas downed Nebraska at Lincoln earlier this season 51-32 by limiting the tall Husker to seven points, the least he has scored in a conference game this season and far below his Big Six 11-point per game average.
Nebraska has defeated Iowa State.
the only Big Six school to down the Jayhawks, Kansas State, and Missouri, and has fallen before Kansas, Iowa State, and Kansas State. Against Kansas the Huskers made a real battle of it until the closing minutes of the game when they faded before a Jayhawk basket-barrage.
Although Coach A. J. Lewandoski lost only two lettermen from last year's team, only Held has shown any scoring punch on this year's Husker crew. He ranks fourth in Big Six scoring. 'Other returning lettermen, are John Fitzgibbon, John Thompson, Les Livingston, Hartmann Goetze, and Max Young.
Offensive Power Favors Kansas
Olivine Power Favors Kansas
Nebraska, in its 15 games this season has averaged 36 points per contest to their opponents 42; the Huskers have won five games. Kansas' record shows 10 victories and two defeats. Bright spots in the Jayhawk win column are triumphs over a rushing Creighton team and DeFaul, the class of Chicago.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1942
Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Last night seems like a horrible dream to the more than 300 Hill basketball fans who journeyed to Kansas City through the rain and fog only to find that the Jayhawk cagers were in a bigger fog than anyone else. It was unbelievable to the majority of Kansas followers to see their team trampled so badly. And badly it was, there's no use kidding.
It's an old maxim that figures are the coldest things in existence but only the age of that saying gives it preference over the Red and Blue hoopsters. During the first 10 minutes of the game the Jayhawks shot 24 times and rang the bell just TWICE. A mark like that couldn't beat an intramural "C" team on the Hill.
But there are a few points that might be said for Phog Allen's boys. In the first place, and by far the most important point, they were cold. They were so cold last night that they couldn't have beaten a single team that they have played this year.
FIGURES TELL THE STORY
The accuracy of the Kansans improved very little during the next 10-minute junket but oh, how those Sailors got hot. They took 18 shots again but plunked through the hoop 8 of them for a 44.4 percentage. And the Jayhawks piddled along with 4 baskets out of 17 shots for 23 per cent. This percentage in itself wasn't too bad if they had maintained it from start to finish but even that mark wasn't a normal average for the team.
The only thing that saved the game from being a rout at this point was the fact that the Navy lads were a little bit off also. They connected for 3 goals out of 18 shots. At the end of this 10-minute period the Great Lakes outfit led 8 to 6.
The last half proved to be a battle when it came to shots and everything else but the Sailors kept a little bit the better of the argument throughout the 20 minutes. For that time the Jayhawks shot 33 times and hit the goal 7 times while Great Lakes made 10 out of 31.
times while Great Lakes made 10 out of 34. The tabulations for the game gave Great Lakes a total of 67 shots with 21 of these dropping through the nets. This was a percentage of 31 per cent. The Jayhawks shot 74 times at the basket but connected on only 13 of these attempts for a mark of 17.5 per cent.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN—BUT WASN'T
Running back to the Wichita game of Monday night, the record shows that the Jayhawks shot 69 times and made 22 buckets for a percentage of 32 per cent. In that game "Cappy" Miller was un-Holy in his shooting accuracy but this was more than offset by the off-center attempts of his teammates. Therefore that game might be taken as an average, or at most one or two points high, for the Kansans have been averaging between 28 and 32 per cent for the entire season.
If the cagars had connected for this average of 29 or 30 per cent they would have played a game that would have brought down the roof of the Municipal auditorium as well as lowering the flag of the Sailors. But this was not to be and instead the Jayhawkers exhibited their poorest form of the season.
Another factor which probably handicapped the Jayhawks more than the Navy team was the Kansas City court. True enough, many of the team had played on the court before but it still remains that a jinx seems to hang over the team whenever they enter the Auditorium. In 1936 in the Olympic play-offs the Kansans were defeated, two out of three games, by Utah State for the right to compete in New York. In 1940 Allen took his team to the City and after beating Southern California, suffered the worst whipping a Jayhawk cage team has ever gone, losing to Indiana 60 to 42.
OUR NAVY'S GOOD—ANYWHERE
The Great Lakes outfit has been caboosing all over the mid-west, playing in little gyms and spacious auditoriums. They don't know the meaning of a home court and have learned to adjust themselves to any court and any crowd. Thoughts that the game might have ended differently had the contest been played on the campus in Hoch auditorium are purely conjections but they sound mighty logical.
It is to Great Lakes' credit that they can go from court to court and still maintain their high winning percentage. But with six All-Americans and seven other all-conference players on the squad a person would think that certainly one combination of five would be hitting on any night and pull through to victory. And such must be the case with 20 wins and only three losses to their credit thus far this year.
HUNTER EARNS STARTING BERT
The 5,700 fans who saw the game last night had a chance to observe probably the greatest collection of basketball stars ever assembled under one banner. And every one of the 5,700 was firmly convinced at the end of the game that if the rest of our Navy can fire away and sink battleships as easily and effectively as the Sailors sank baskets last night, then our country need not worry too much about our safety.
Odds and ends from the game: The Navy boys took the first five shots and missed them all. . . But it never happened again. . . A shell from the K.U. bench by Phog—"Call 'em Ted (O'Sullivan, one of the referees), you saw that" as a Navy player sideswiped Miller with both hands. . . After eight minutes of play Ray Evans came dashing down the floor, drove under the basket and shot, circled behind the basket, and came up from behind the Sailor who had taken the rebound and stole the ball from him. . . Immediately after this T. P. Hunter entered the game and along with Evans was the star of the game. . . He was the top Kansas scorer and his defense was above average. . . In the opinion of this column Tepee earned a regular starting berth at guard.
Bob Calihan really had a classy left-handed hook shot. . . . Johnny

11 Won Out of 13 Is Creighton Mark
One of the finest basketball teams in the land, the Creighton Bluejays, will invade Lawrence Tuesday night to clash with the University of Kansas Jayhawks in what should be a great game.
Buried beneath an avalanche of All-Americans last night the Jayhawks today began picking themselves out of the wreckage left by the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team. Showing their backers that they are a better team than they looked
Omaha. Neb.-There's seldom a hole twixt the floor and the goal when Ed Beisser, six-foot, six and one-half inch Creighton university center, stretches toward the net. A junior from Des Mores, Ia., Beisser was named on the 1940-41 All-Missouri Valley five and is doing yeoman work at center again this season in spite of a leg fracture sustained on a summer job. Beisser's long suit is an uncanny pivot shot.

Two Losses For Creighton
Besides being up against a sensational array of stars in the Great Lakes game, the Kansas cagers had a 'cold' night at the baskets. Seventy-four times the Jayhawks blazed away and sixty-one times they missed.
The loss to Great Lakes left K.U. with a season's record of nine victories and two defeats. Creighton, at the same time, has been winning eleven games while losing two.
The blots on Creighton's record were put there by Minnesota and Long Island U. Following the loss to Minnesota, however the Bluejays came back to crush another Big Ten team, Ohio State, 60-34.
High spot of the season for Creighton came Wednesday night when the Bluejays hit a sizzling hot pace to down the Great Lakes team 59-45. The Navy quintet has lost only three out of twenty - three games this year and the Creighton defeat was the only loss by more than six points.
On Kansas' side of the ledger is its victory over DePaul. The Jayhawks blasted DePaul 46-25, just one week after DePaul had beaten Long Island. The latter is one of the two teams which holds a victory over Creighton this season.
T. P. Hunter's excellent play in recent games may result in that lanky senior ousting Marvin Sollenberger from the Jayhawks' starting lineup. A fine rebound man and defensive player, Hunter also has come through with badly needed points in several games.
If he starts against Creighton, T. P. likely will draw the assignment of guarding the Bluejays' great center, 6 foot $6 \frac{1}{2}$ inch Ed Beisser. Even a job like this doesn't worry the tall Jayhawk senior, however.
30 Students Enroll In New Navigation Class
The new Navigation class of N. W. Storer, associate professor of physics, has an enrollment of 30 students, 19 of which are enlisted in the Naval Reserve V-7 program. The class will study finding latitude and longitude by methods used in the air and on the sea.
Professor Storer is teaching approximately the same material that the enlistees will learn in the naval program.

The KANSAN Comments...
It Isn't the Clock
One school week has passed since we began the practice of arising in the middle of the night to meet that 8:30 class, and it wasn't any easier to do this morning than it was last Monday. Oh, how we yell at that "accursed alarm clock."
Yes, we retired an hour earlier and we arise an hour earlier, so what's the difference? But there is a difference. One doesn't mind going to bed early, but pulling out from between the sheets on a cold morning while it is still pitch dark outside—there's the rub!
We snort and puff and berate the alarm clock; we scold about the congressmen who voted for this measure. After all, congressmen themselves usually don't get up before 9 or 10 o'clock, do they (unless they're going fishing with the President)?
Let's not put the blame on the clock or the senators and representatives in Washington. There's a much deeper cause. Let's place our rebukes upon the heads of the Axis chieftains. They created the necessity for our many sacrifices. After all, we're only losing an hour's sleep, while many of our soldiers and sailors are losing their lives.
War and its consequences were certainly not the preference of our President and senators and representatives and military leaders. It was forced upon us; we had no choice. Let's not be so shortsighted that we cannot see the forest for the trees; we must do the best we can under the circumstances. This the American people can do; they always have, and they will again. Wake up, America, one hour earlier!
Lafayette----We Are Stuck!
The destruction of the USS Lafayette, formerly the Normandie, pride of the French merchant marine, has been attributed to accident. The $60,000,000 luxury liner was almost ready to sail as a naval auxiliary, badly needed by the United States. Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews, commandant of the third naval district, has disavowed any possibility of sabotage.
All the facts and indications in the case lead to the idea that it could have been nothing but sabotage. The cause, as listed officially, is that a spark from an acetylene torch set off a pile of kapok-filled life preservers. If that is true, how is it possible that fire broke out all over the ship instantaneously, gaining ground so rapidly that it was impossible for efficient New York City fire fighters to do any real good?
It is certain that inspection of the Normandie was haphazard. It was possible for anyone, with or without American citizenship, to get a job on the ship, wander about at will, smoke cigarettes and peer into barrels of excelsior, as proved by one PM reporter, who did exactly that. It was 11 minutes after the alarm had
If it is true that sabotage was not involved, the French were the victims of a terrible swindle, because the Normandie was one of the three biggest, best, and most luxurious liners in the world. It was supposed to have been as modern, safe, and comfortable as possible. Yet fire spread so rapidly that one worker was killed before he could get away when the ship lay motionless in harbor. What would have been the fate of a full list of passengers, had a similar spark been dropped at sea, while the ship was traveling forty miles an hour? There has been no major fire on a passenger ship since the Morro Castle disaster, and arson was suspected at that time.
been sounded for the ship's local fire fighting crew that the alarm was sounded for the city fire-fighting equipment.
Regardless of the cause of the fire, there is another serious problem connected with the destruction of the 83,000 ton liner. That is the question of indemnity, which undoubtedly will cause many governmental headaches before it is settled. Must we now pay France for a ship which we can no longer use? If we don't Vichy, always testy, will probably protest vigorously. Whether they can do anything about it or not is questionable. However, when money is so desperately needed, isn't it silly to pay millions for a pile of junk? This remains to be settled, but it seems improbable that the United States will be able to take any course other than to pay.

PRESS ASSOCIATION
In Spooner Museum--cow that nobody ever hoped to see. Fredisher's bossy has a bloated tummy that reaches the ground, and flanks like the landing deck of the U. S.S. Saratoga. Two kangaroos, and a snake wrestling with a eat, all done in fairly conventional style, comprise the rest of the animal section.
Wood Sculptors Show Variety of Subjects
For the people who think modern sculptors are unable to create anything but balloon-shaped nudes and distored creatures incapable of identification by any sane person, the collection of wood sculpture now on exhibition on the second floor of Spooner-Thayer museum should prove an interesting revelation.
The exhibit has been selected from the works of 23 prominent artists in the wood sculpturing field by Duncan Ferguson, acting head of the department of fine arts at Louisiana State University and is beingciru-
University, and is being circulated by the American Federation of Art.
A wide variety of subjects are represented in the 32-piece display, stevedores, kangaroo, swing dancers, and Abraham Lincoln, to mention just a few. Expensive hardwoods such as mahogany, teakwood, oak, walnut, rosewood, and lignum vitae are used in the work.
Honest Abe In Oak
The most striking piece on exhibit, from the writer's viewpoint, was the "Abraham Lincoln" of Warren Wheelock, done in oak. This sculpture looks like a Rain Forest Pigmy's conception of the Railsplitter and the most unusual part of the work is the sharp contrast between the weird lines of Lincoln's head and neck, and his smooth, almost feminine hands.
Also impressive for the feeling or sheer animal strength it conveys is the "Resting Stevedore" by Milton Hebald, in walnut, the powerful arms and shoulders and the abnormally small head clearly indicating the stevedore's virtue and weakness.
Wild Animals They Have Known
Impressive for other reasons is the rosewood "Nude," one of the several works of Nathamel Kaz. Almost life-size, the figure is more true to life than the customary obese characters turned out by the modern sculptor. Any organized house desirous of procuring this creature for the browsing room can have her for $1,000. Incidentally, all of the pieces are on sale at prices ranging from $75 to $1,800.
Comical studies of animal life are prominent. Hy Fredisher has executed a "Cow" out of rosewood, a reddish brown version of the purple
Modern but not surrealistic is the "Swing Nocturne" by Nathaniel Kaz, a rosewood portrayal of a voluptuous girl trucking on down.
Most prominent example of the surrealist school is the piece entitled "He Carrying" by Wharton Enterlich. "He" has a box-shaped head, with no ears, eyes or mouth, and only a knot in the wood giving any semblance of a nose. The rest of "him" is done in the same manner. On the same pattern is the Brazilwood "Reclining Woman," a creature without any discernible beginning or ending, done by Jose De Creeft.
A Rising Field
Limitations of space prevent describing any more of the exhibition, but all of the sculptures should prove entertaining, even if you feel that the boys of the Wolf Pack, Troop Number 10 could do a better job. In a letter from Mr. Ferguson which accompanied the exhibition, it was explained that most of the sculptors whose works were in the display were under 40 years of age, and that on this basis wood sculpture is a rising medium of artistic expression.
The sculptures will be on exhibition until Feb. 22, when they will be shipped to the University of Texas at Austin. Before coming to K.U. they were shown at the Joslyn Memorial Gallery in Omaha. This is the second year the exhibit has been on the road tour.
Painter's Death Brings Old Memories To Life
For lovers of the American scene as portrayed on canvas, tragedy struck home last night with the death of Grant Wood professor of art at the University of Iowa.
Wood was born 50 years ago today on a farm amid the Iowa cornfields which he later depicted on canvases of American rural life. He early revealed artistic talent and left his home state to study at the Chicago Art Institute.
The first World War took him to Europe in a camouflage unit of the army, and he remained in France to study.
With Benton and Curry
When he returned to the United States, however, he led a move away from European traditions in the field of art. With Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri and John Stuart Curry of Kansas, he became a leader of the native American "Regional" School.
Wood first won acclaim in 1936 when his picture, "American Gothic," was awarded a medal at the Chicago Art Institute. The painting aroused indignation in Io w a,
where some believed the bleak faced
farm couple discredited rural life.
In 1932, his "Daughters of the Revolution," showing three dour women drinking tea before a picture of "Washington Crossing the Delaware" drew protests from members of the D.A.R. Skinned Tradition
Wood said later he "Was not satirizing any one tradition, but making my first direct slap at the whole colonial tradition."
In 1940 he jousted with these her called "literal minded" over his picture of the "Parson Weems' Fable" of George Washington, cutting "

Hargiss Loses 7 Lettermen to War
With the Jayhawks first track meet a week away, Coach H. W. "Bill" Hargiss finds himself without the services of seven lettermen who would have returned had it not been for the war.
These seven have either enlisted or been drafted into the country's armed services. J. R. Jones, Big Six broadjump champion, and Orlando Epp, one of the conference's best
quarter inners, were ta
the draft last semester.
Fherhardt May Leave Soon
Eberhardt May Leave Soon
Bill Reid, quarter miler, is now enlisted in the air corps. Jack Michener, who Hargiss terms the second best pole vaunter in the Big Six this year, has enlisted in the army air corps and will soon report for cadet training.
Ted Scott, dash man, has been drafted and undergone a shoulder operation which will make him eligible for an officer's commission. Oliver Hess, who ran on the University two mile team this fall has joined the marines. Fred Eberhardt is still training for track but as a reserve officer in the marines expects to be called soon.
Gaylord Conzelman, promising sophomore in the distance runs, has enlisted in the air corps. Another sophomore who Hargiss was counting on in the dashes, Joe Thomas, is now in the army.
Scholastic Troubles For Two
Grades tripped two sophomores who were expected to make the varsity this year. Clifford Foos, hurdler and high jumper, and Harold Wright, a broad jumper who Hargiss had hoped to develop into the best in the conference, both failed in scholastic requirements.
Five lettermen will wear the Jayawk colors against Kansas State a week from tomorrow in an indoor meet to be held here. They are Dick Edwards, distances; Don Pollom, hurdles and dishes; Jim Cordell, pole vault; Ralph Schaake, weights; and Clarence Miller, distances.
Coach Hargiss stated that many of his track men had consulted him as to the advisability of joining the armed forces rather than waiting to be drafted. He added, in light of the fact that they would be eligible for better positions by enlisting, he did not advise against it even though it did deprive him of some of his best track candidates.
THE BOX SCORE--throw, Charlie Black fouled Adams and the latter made his try good.

C. W. HAWKINS
H. W. HARGISS
(continued from page one) seven minutes but with 25 seconds gone in the eighth minute Johnny Adams, the Arkansas U. leaping Porker, made a two-handed jump shot that gained the Navy's first lead and from then on out it was purely a matter of how often the Sailors would score or how long it would be before the Jayhawks tallied.
UNLOAD NAVAL---throw, Charlie Black fouled Adams and the latter made his try good.
At the start of the second half, with the score 28 to 15 in favor of Great Lakes, the Kansans spurted and showed flashes of real fight and ability. In three minutes time the Red and Blue cagers had taken six shots and the last three were successful to bring the count up to 21 to 27, Andres having dropped in a free throw for the Navy.
For the next seven minutes it proved to be a real battle as the teams raced up and down the floor in an even struggle. Whenever the Sailors got worried they would go to 'swinging' with the ball. While in this "swing" they exhibited some of the classiest ball handling and dribbling ever seen in this section. It is to the credit of the Jayhawkers, however, that this rolling type of offense was not able to penetrate the Kansas defense and most of the Great Lakes shots resulted from set shots after the "swing" had stopped.
But to get down to the dull chronological facts of the game it should duly be recorded that Kansas started the scoring. John Lobserig, former Missouri flash and Big Six all-conference guard in 1939 and 1940, fouled Johnny Buescher in the second minute and Bisch made the free
Then Black was fouled by Callihan and the conversion of this made it 2 to 1 for Kansas with two minutes played. Black followed with a two-handed rebound shot but Forrest Anderson, Navy forward and former all-Pacific conference player from Stanford, intercepted a pass and drove in for a bucket.
In another minute Anderson was fouled by Marvin Sollenberger and the charity shot was good. Then came Adams jump shot which shoved the Sailors into a never-to-be relinguished lead.
Evans Tallies 7 Points
George Rung took a Navy pass, slipped behind Buescher, and potted another Great Lakes basket just before Hunter scored for Kansas on a left-handed hook shot after a pass from Miller. The clock on the wall showed that 10 minutes had elapsed and the cagers from Great Lakes started to show the crowd how accurate shooting should really be done.
Anderson dribbled through the K.U. defense for a lay-in and Callihan followed with a brilliant lefthanded hook shot out in front of the free-throw lane. Ray Evans then started on a one-man scoring splurge for the Jayhawks and gathered in his seven points in the next nine minutes. Miller made the other Kansas basket of the first half on a drive-in shot.
The Jayhawks came back at the half with fighting determination but it carried them only so far and then their coldness caught up with them and back they were in the same predicament as the first half. Hunter, Black, and Miller were good for baskets while Andres dropped in a free throw to bring the score to 29 to 23, Navy.
The remaining seven buckets for the Sailors were hit by five players, further emphasizing their evenness in playing ability. Andres and Frankie Baumholtz each made two goals and Bill Menke, Lee Huber, and Anderson connected for the other three, making the half-time score 26 to 15 for Navy.
Adams then flipped in an overhead shot and Hunter dropped two free throws. Dick Klein gave Kansas one point by fouling Black but the former gained it back with a push shot. Andres rang the bell on a set shot but Miller equaled the two points on Rung's foul while "Cappy" was shooting.
Anderson repeated his drive-in shot down the center and then three one-handers followed in quick succession. Vance Hall picked one out of the basket on a shot while going away from the hoop and Rung and Hunter followed.
The last 10 minutes was a two-to-one affair for the Navy. Hunter and Black hooked baskets while Bob Johnson, Miller, and Black plunked in free throws to complete the Jayhawk scoring.

Messner Becomes Regular In Place of Mendenhall
DRAKE'S BAKERY
Kansas State's basketball machine, which clicked to down Nebraska after dropping "heart-breakers" to the league leaders, will be without its defensive ace, George Mendenhall, but nevertheless is planning a hot reception for Iowa State's Cyclones.
907 Mass.
A handsome, six-foot-two junior, Mendenhall has earned the reputation as one of the toughest defensive men in the Big Six conference. Repeatedly, he has shut the door in the faces of scoring leaders, and he was to guard Al Budolfson, Big Six scoring leader, when the Cyclones $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
invade Nichols gymnasium at Manhattan Monday night.
But influenza has kept Mendenhall in the hospital for a week, forcing Coach Jack Gardner to work overtime on new plans for haltering Iowa State's highly geared club paced by Budolfson and Robert Harris, two of the fastest forwards in the loop.
Messner Starts At Guard
The loss of their regular guard is a big blow, but it does not discourage the Wildcats. Mendenhall also was missing when Nebraska fell, 38 to 35, here last Monday. In that game, Gardner assigned the difficult task of guarding Sidney Held, Husker scoring leader, to Bruce Holman and John Bortka, a couple of sophomores who alternated at forward. And they limited Held to six points. Keneth Messner another sophomore at Kansas State but who played two years on the Jayhawk varsity, took over Mendenhall's position and his ball handling was a highlight of the game.
Beaumont Begins to Hit
The victory over Nebraska was K-State's first in five conference starts. But the Wildcats had lost
thrillers in their two previous league contests. Oklahoma rallied in the closing minute to win at Manhattan, 26 to 25, and Kansas university squeezed through with a 46 to 44 overtime decision at Lawrence.
Chemistry Club Sees Movies
Kansas State's shooting, poor earlier in the season, has shown marked improvement. Larry Beaumont, big guard, dropped in six field goals for 12 points against Nebraska while Danny Howe, center, contributed 11 points. The Wildcats, however, have no standout scorer. They have depended upon excellence in teamwork with each player getting his share of points. Jack Horacek, senior forward, leads the team hit parade with an average of 7.2 points in five conference contests. Close behind, Beaumont has averaged 6.8 points, Howe 6.6, and Holman 5.4.
The Chemistry club met at 4:30 yesterday. Moving pictures on "Chemistry of Photography" and "Manufacture of Neoprene" were shown.

Big Sports Weekend:17 Games On Intramural Basketball Card
The Kappa Sigma and Delta Chi squads clowned through 32 minutes of intramural basketball last night, with a 29 to 21 Delta Chi victory resulting.
Hardest working man on the floor was "Curly" Hayden, who combined the tasks of refereeing, and coaching and rooting for both teams.
Wendell Wendstrand, Delta Chi star, and Harold Dumler, Kappa Sigma forward, tied for high point honors with nine points each. Ed Andrisevic aided Wenstrand with seven points.
The victor's fast break and superior rebounding more than offset the accurate long shots of the Kappa Sigma's.
The Sigma Chi "B" squad had no trouble finding the basket as they handed the Pi Kappa Alpha "B" team a 51 to 8 lacing. The red-hot Sigma Chi second team led at the half 20 to 5. Three men—Rodney Smith, Craig Howes, and Kenneth Adams—paced the Sigma Chi attack with 11 points each.
The Battenfeld hall "B" team led by James McKinney defeated the Alpha Kappa Psi "B" squad 28 to 16. McKinney garnered five field goals. Bill Collinson led the Alpha Kappa Psi scorers with four buckets. Halftime score of the game was 20 to 10.
Seventeen games are scheduled for weekend play. Seven will be run off tonight, and the remaining ten Saturday morning and afternoon. One scheduled tonight, Sigma Alpha Epsilon against Phi Delta Theta, has been postponed.
An aroused Phi Kappa Psi "D" team rallied in the last half to defeat the Kappa Sigma "C"队 20 to 15. The winners had trailed at halftime 12 to 9. Eldon Richey and Jo Payne were the Phi PSi stars.

He has a large international collection of street car tokens mounted on elaborate backgrounds portraying the patriotic spirit of America, 1942.
BY UNITED PRESS
Lamb has color designs of "Keep 'Em Flying," "U.S.A." "Victory" and "Remember Pearl Harbor," spelled with tokens strewn from one end of his home to the other.
Ape Love
Sarasota, Fla. — Toto, docile mate of the giant gorilla Gargantua, is happy again after months of grieving.
Toto has ben depressed since her pet cat, Principe, was killed in November, when a freight car crashed into the circus cage. Now Toto has another cat. Its name is Principie II and she fondles it by the hour. The cat seems to like it.

Pittsfield, Mass.—Shoemaker John Castello believes he was well within his rights in giving the aluminum-for-defense drive committee a pair of aluminum soled shoes.
Above Castellos bench is a sign reading "Not Responsible For Goods Left Over 30 Days."
When a committee member visited his shop, Castello handed out the boots left by a former member of the German army for repairs 22 years ago.

15 miles from Maine's largest city —Portland—this village (pop. 1317) has taken top honors at the "sharp-shootingest" town in the state. During the recent open season, a total of 19,881 deer were killed, and Standish hunters baged 526 of them.
Philadelphia — If there is any truth to the old adage that "Love Conquers All," then the army should gain confidence from the enlistment of four boys from Danielsville who walked in together and signed up. They were the four Love brothers—Henry, 17; Robert, 18; Richard, 19, and James, 21.

The KANSAN Comments...
All Out For Defense
Dollars, dollars—in terms of millions, billions, hundreds of billions—furnish the crux of financial tongue-wagging from Maine to California and back again. It is estimated that World War II will cost the United States $200,- 000,000,000 by 1945. It takes money to keep bombers and pursuit ships flying away from factories and ships sliding down ship yard ramps.
The sale of defense bonds and stamps stands out most prominently as a method for raising part of these funds. People just naturally frown on taxation, regardless of its form. They tolerate it, but wince under its oppression. Inflationary tendencies result in tremendous howls from economists.
We at the University should engage in a community effort toward the purchase of bonds and stamps. It is being done at other Universities in the United States, Princeton for example.
The plan would work out successfully if each faculty member, each employee of the University, and every student could be counted on to do his share. The purchase of a fifty-cent stamp by each student once a week would alone provide Uncle Sam with $40,000 by the end of the current semester. This would go a long way toward a new cruiser or a fleet of planes.
Besides the patriotic gesture back of them, the sale of defense bonds and stamps serves as an economic stabilizer. Taking money from the channels of consumer spending power frees an additional quantity of resources for use in war production. Result: faster arms output. Then too, inflation can be better controlled, with a resultant increase in facility of postwar reconstruction.
Another manifestation of the will to win—a man in Cleveland, rejected from the marine corps because of a crooked finger, had it cut off so he could enlist.
A Tribune Misinterpretation
The Chicago Tribune is in its usual dither. From its first grand burst of patriotism after Pearl Harbor, it has retreated to the brush, and now contents itself with snipping at the Democratic party in general, and the administration in particular. This is not surprising, because Colonel McCormick has always been a member of the opposition.
The latest accusation, however, sinks to the depths. The Congress now in session has a Democratic majority. The President is a member of the Democratic party. That would, naturally, make for unity. There are, though, in Congress enough Republicans to act as a check on undesirable legislation. They are the dissenters. Dissenters are essential to our form of government, but if the dissenters assume the majority, progress is substantially hindered. Naturally, when we are faced with the most serious war of all times, congressional action is needed, and needed with all possible speed.
In a radio speech recently Edward J. Flynn, Democratic national chairman, stressed this point. He said that the election of a Republican Congress would destroy and disunite our people. These are strong words, perhaps too strong. It must be remembered that Flynn is paid by the Democrats to convince people that this party has more to offer than the opposition. In a limited sense his statement is true. Certainly loss of decisive and speedy action would result from election of a congress which would disagree in politics and policy with the President.
The Tribune, however, jumps in with both feet, closes its eyes, and emerges with the information that Mr. Flynn can mean only one thing—that we should abolish the election, and "thereby dispense with all the other institutions of free men." It is obvious that Mr. Flynn makes no such statement. Mr. Flynn is too experienced in politics to make such a statement if he believed it. Mr. Flynn knows, as the nation knows, that the people are united behind the administration and the war effort as they have seldom been before. He knows that the Democrats have nothing to fear in an election.
The next ridiculous statement of the Tribune is: "Speaking for the party which sought to destroy the Union, he has damned the party which held it together." Obviously, it is impossible to condemn one entire party as "seeking to destroy the nation," or to laud another as "the party which held it together." There are undesirable elements in any party, group, or society. There are also factors for good. A blanket condemnation of one party and accompanying blanket praise of its opposition is necessarily stupid.

Mary Marrs, having had some bad luck her first semester in school, was dickering with the College office for reinstatement. Things were going smoothly until the name of one Tommy Thompson, Peck's Bad Boy, came into the proceedings in one way or another. From then on, a hitch or two was reported in the mediation process.
Delt Dick Goheen has a sure fire way of impressing housemothers. When Chi Omega Muriel Henry stole the gearshift knob off his car the other night and made off into the Chi O house with it, Dick, according to the nature of the beast, gave pursuit.
The race ended in a photo finish into the Chi Omega house with Henry nosing out slightly in the last lap, and Goheen precipitating himself into Mother Martin's arms, who was nonplussed by the whole thing.
Sigma Nu Hillis Kennard made the mistake of sending his cords to the cleaner's last week. When he parted with them they were the required feelthy yellow color.

Due to some miscalculation on the part of the architect, the sweater look more like an afghan or a pup tent. Koch has just about decided to turn it into a life boat cover and take up needlepoint.
Blessings on the Army Air Corps, if it was the Army Air Corps, who serenaded so thrillingly last night. Odd though, how much they sounded like the Nu Sig's operating room sextet.
Dykstra, Melvin, Lecture
The newly instituted lecture course, "The World at W is more than fulfilling predictions made when it was organized Already 365 students have enrolled, a record figure for any single class, and since the course is open to the public, Frase theater will probably be filled to capacity every Thursday evening during the semester.
In the summer of 1918, due to rather crowded conditions in army camps, the government requested several universities throughout the nation to allow soldiers to be quartered and trained on the campus. Consequently, a number of men were quartered here in Robinson gymnasium and were instructed in military tactics by regular army officers. Since these soldiers were here only about one month, and since most of them did not have high school diplomas, they received no college courses. However, a lecture program designed to give the men some idea of the background and issues of the war was offered. Clarence Dykstra, then professor of political science, later president of Wisconsin University and director-general of the National Selective Service Board, gave the first series of lectures, and F. E. Melvin, associate professor of history, who is on the "World at War" lecture course, the second series.
faculty members who lectured back in 1918 are also speaking in the present series.
In reminiscing on the old course Melvin says that the soldiers were too tired from their drilling to pay much regard to the lectures, and that most of them took the opportunity to catch up on their sleep However, several years after the war while he was attending a convention at Des Moines, Iowa, Prof. Melvin was approached by a man who introduced himself with the remark "don't suppose you remember me, but I used to be in the training bunch a the K.U. gymnasium," and then proceeded to talk about the different lectures.
"World at War" Course Had Counrerpart in 1918
This plan of presenting a review of the social, economic, and psychological background of the war, plus a discussion of present issues and future problems is not exactly an innovation or the Hill. Courses of this nature were presented during the first World War, and some of the $ \textcircled{4} $
In the fall of 1918, the campus was actually transformed into an army camp under the Student Army Training Corps program sponsored by the War Department, a plan designed to keep the universities of the country open and still carry out the war program. Of the 3,006 student enrolled at the University in the fa quarter of 1918 (the quarter system instead of the semester was used the year), 1,689 were in the S.A.T.C. among them a young man named Deane W. Malott. These students lived in barracks on and near the campus, were under strict military discipline, received military training and took certain prescribed course at the University. The government provided their housing, food, tuition and $30 monthly.

Singapore, Feb. 6—Japanese planes opened a savage attack to lay on British forward positions in the northern part of Singapore as he island entered its seventh day of siege.
The Japanese planes swept across the narrow strait and over the British lines at daringly low altitudes, machine gunning defense positions, and dive bombers roared down to bomb troops and prepared strong-points.
Japanese air force fleets continued also to bomb indiscriminately civilian and military targets in the southern part of the island.
British fighter planes went out to meet them and, during the morning, hot down at least one Japanese lighter plane and damaged three thers.

U.S. Planes Account for High Score
Washington, Feb. 6 — (UP)— American fighter planes which have tasted their first victory in the skies over far-away Java will play an increasingly important role in the struggle for the Dutch East Indies, military officials predicted today.
Military officials stressed the significance of yesterday's official disclosure that U.S. fighter planes had battled and defeated a "greatly superior" force of Japanese bombers and fighters over Java whose vital Soerabaja naval base is under Japanese aerial bombardment.
Called Important Development
Although only a small formation of the fighters—swift and deadly P-40's bristling with machine guns—took part in the encounter, their victory was said to mark an important development in the war of the Pacific because of the vast difficulties in transporting them halfway around the world.
The manner in which they reached Java cannot be revealed because of military factors, but insimuch as (continued to page eight).

Versatile Lunceford Leads Own Ex-Pupils
Jimmie Lunceford, musical conductor of the "Harlem Express," will feel right at home in the Memorial Union ballroom, Feb. 27, when he leads his all-Negro orchestra in sweet and swing music for the Junior Prom.
Lunceford is accustomed to intellectual surroundings, having been graduated with honors from Fisk University in 1925 and having taught as professor of English at Manassa High School. Jimmie holds four- $ ^{a}$
Call Him "Piggie"
lege degrees and is a 4-letter man in athletics.
Born James Melvin Lunceford in Fulton, Miss., on June 6, 1902, Jimmy insists upon his nickname "Piggie" being spelled with the "ie" instead of "y." He attended Fisk University where he played sax, trombone, guitar, clarinet, and flute in the college orchestra, and directed the glee club.
After doing graduate work at the City College of New York, he taught in the Manassa High School in Memphis, Tenn. Here he led a jazz band composed of nine of his students, and upon their graduation in 1927, he gave up his professorship to work as head waiter in his alma mater until the boys got their degrees.
Band Retains Originals
Six of the original nine are still with the band, and the remaining members are all college graduates. The first professional engagement was at the Andrew Jackson Hotel in Nashville, Temt.; since then Harlem has needed police riot squads to handle the crowds his music attracts, and all-time records have been set over the country.
Lunceford's fraternity is Kappa Alpha Psi, his favorite sport is football, and his most thrilling experience was losing his way in a Colorado blizzard and almost freezing to death. Jimmie doesn't smoke, seldom drinks, and has no special aversions, prejudices, or eccentricities.
Likes Waring's Band
Joseph Conrad is Jimmie's pet author; he likes Fred Waring's and the Casa Loma orchestras. He speaks Spanish, preferred social sciences in high school and disliked mathematics.
Jimmie believes that jazz is becoming more tame, that American
composers seldom offer real works of merit, and that the public is swayed by "big name" attractions rather than by an appreciation of music itself.
In 1934 Lunceford's band succeeded Cab Calloway's at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and has been heard twice weekly over N.B.C. ever since. Two years ago Lunceford's band toured Europe, rating the title, "best American orchestra," from European critics.
Lunceford is the first Negro orchestra leader to win his wings and become one of the few Negro pilots holding a license under the Civil Aeronautics Commission in the United States.
Coventry Sculptor To Lecture Here On Modern Trends
Alec Miller, noted sculptor and literary and art lecturer, formerly of Camden, England, will speak on "Tendencies in Modern Sculpture, from Rodin to Archipenko," in the auditorium of Spooner-Thayer museum at 8 o'clock Wednesday night.
Miller's stone and wood sculpturing has been on exhibition at the Cleveland and Rochester Museums of Art, the Arden Gallery in New York, in Boston, Philadelphia, and other large American cities, and also in the English Royal Academy and the Palace of Arts.
One of his most famous sculpturing projects, the ecclesiastical work on the Coventry Cathedral, was destroyed in the Nazi air raids on Coventry. Miller has lectured extensively in American and British universities. From here he will leave for a lecture at Manhattan, Feb. 19.

Dean Lawson made a hit with his audience at the outset of his talk when he confessed that he was not a historian, but just a "bugologist and an entomologist." He then added that he had been studying up on Lincoln for three nights in order to make the talk.
He spoke on "Lessons For Today From Abraham Lincoln," dealing with the faith and fidelity that Lincoln possessed and then gave some wise applications of these character traits in the world situation of today.

The loss, explained Disney, would result from overtime work on the film plus the inevitable drop in revenue he would suffer while his own Silly Symphonies were shelved during the six weeks the income tax picture would be showing.

cherry tree. Accused of trying to "débunk" Washington, Wood said he was treating a fable as a fable without reflection on the first president.
Seeks College Degree at 52 Boston-(U.P.)-After a 30-year wait, Earle B. Delano hopes to get a college degree. In 1912 he left Brown University to become a newspaper correspondent. Now 52 years old, he is enrolled as an undergraduate at Boston University. Delano hopes to teach dramatics and speech when he graduates.
Wood developed a stylized technique of landscape painting, showing "fat" Iowa hills, under brilliant green grass, dotted with white farm houses and globular trees.

He joined the University of Iowa faculty in 1934 and twice directed summer art colonies in a deserted mansion at Stone City, Ia. Some of his students lived in covered wagons.
Woods' paintings have brought prices as high as $10,000 from collectors throughout the nation. Film star Edward G. Robinson bought the controversial "Daughters."

Winners in the essay contest sponsored by the University Daily Kansan and the Jayhawker theater on "Custer's Last Stand" were announced today by the two judges, K. W. Davidson, director of the University news bureau, and Wayne Clover, assistant manager of the Jayhawker theatre.
Winner of the $25 bond raffled at the Stamp Stomp Friday night is John Nabb, college junior. Howard Gibbs, Guy Carlisle, J. D. Botkin, Kenneth Randle, and William Ferguson were awarded $1 defense stamps.
Most significant feature of the winning essays was the difference in points of view. Pearson's manuscript paints a picture of General Custer as a valiant officer who did his duty well. The essay vindicates Custer of all blame for obeying orders, as has often been claimed.

MILLER-
FORWARD
Ralph "Cappy" Miller, sharp-shooting Jayhawk forword, set a new individual conference record for himself last night by bagging 24 points on 11 field goals and two free throws. His own previous high was 19 points against Iowa State in 1940. His individual record for all collegiate games, however, is the 30 points he scored against Wichita this year. Before this his high total was 22 against Loyola in 1940. Miller was three points shy of the Kansas record set by Howard Engleman in 1939. The league record still stands at 30 points, set by Jimmy McNatt, Oklahoma forward, in the game against Nebraska in 1940.

Miller Hot As Hawks Run Wild
BY CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
A gangling six-foot one inch senior from Chanute got extremely hot last night in Hoch auditorium and the hotter he got the better his teammates seemed to play as the entire Jayhawker basketball squad swept to a dazzling 58 to 30 victory over a mystified Nebraska Cornhusker crew.
The red-hot Kansan was Ralph "Cappy" Miller and he hit the basket for a total of 24 points. His buckets were of every variety as the Nebraskans would try to change their guarding tactics on him. If he would be guarded in an attempt at a long shot, he would feint and dribble around his man. Or he would dribble out to the side of the court and hook back over his shoulder at the goal. His efforts for the evening resulted in 11 baskets out of 34 shots for 32.4 per cent and 2 free throws out of 6 for 33.3 per cent.

Adams had his familiar jump shot but looked even better on defense. . . . Besides not being able to hit the hoop for points the Kansans were woefully weak on gaining rebounds. . . . Another point that better be checked pronto is the dissension that is present on the squad. . . . If certain conditions can be ironed out the Jayhawks can look forward to a successful season but otherwise only trouble and defeat is in store for Phog Allen. . . Lt Russell Cook, coach of the Great Lakes team, said, in commenting on their defeat at the hands of Creighton University Wednesday night, "Creighton was the hottest team ever. All they had to do was to look at the basket and push the ball and it was two points."

A special War Department "must" course for all the S.A.T.C. members was a lecture series called "War Issues." While the 500 or more schools with S.A.T.C. units were required to offer such a course, they were allowed certain leeway in the organization. The local series was divided into four sections as follows: the causes of the war and America's entry; political science problems involved; economic problems; and philosophical problems. Each section was to last three months, with college credit given.

Barbed wire entanglements lay thick at all key positions to strengthen the trenches, fox holes and other defenses in which the Imperial troops awaited on assault.
Women Do Their Part
Among the 24 faculty members who gave the lectures, several are still here: the back files of the Daily Kansan list L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism; D. L. Patterson, C. C. Crawford, and F. E. Melvin, of the department of history; A. M. Sturtevant, of the department of German; R. A. Schwegler of the School of Education; and W. L. Burdick of the School of Law.
Women students were not entirely ignored in the wartime scene. A prenursing course was set up, in which women received instruction in anatomy, physiology, hygiene, general bacteriology, elementary chemistry and food and nutrition. Completion of the course entitled the student from six months to one year advanced standing in training schools for nurses.
The S.A.T.C. started badly, and ended abruptly, in both instances due
to circumstances beyond its control. In the first days of October, just when the student-soldiers were moving into their newly-erected barracks, an influenza epidemic swept the Hill. The University was closed for 15 days, and several deaths resulted from the attack of old devil flu.
After the epidemic ended, the program was just getting under way again when the Armistice was signed, Nov. 11, and the government was mildly at a loss for what to do with the S.A.T.C. It was decided to the matter to a vote of the students and faculty of the various universities whether the program should be carried out. By an overwhelming vote here, it was decided to discontinue the course at the end of the Dec. 21 quarter. Soon afterward, the War Department ordered the demobilization of the units on Dec. 3-4, with the officers to be demobilized Dec. 10. Some of the men collected their pay and went back home, but most of them stayed on to continue their studies. The barracks were torn up and declared salvage.
Post-War Courses
In the spring quarter, as a sort of prologue to the "War Issues," a number of "reconstruction" courses were offered. "War, Peace, and Reconstruction" was taught by Prof. Melvin; H. C. Chubb, who is also on the present series, presented "Greater European Movements"; A. J. Boynton, professor of economics, gave "Economics of War" and William M. Duffus, also of the department of Economics, offered "Labor Problems of the Reconstruction Period." None of these courses were required.
Prospects of another S.A.T.C. are rather dismal, according to Prof. Melvin, because of the impracticability of the old program. Most of the men were too absorbed in their military work, or too fatigued after drill to devote much time to study. To keep our Universities open, programs such as the Navy's V-7 will be used in place of any student-soldier scheme.

If you plan to arise at the final hour to change the time piece confusion is likely to result after you stumble over half of the furniture lurking in the darkness of the room. Before you work yourself into a frenzy over the question, "Should the clock be moved up an hour or back an hour?" remember that you probably forgot to wind it anyway so it won't make a lot of difference
The Phrase "time flies" will have a new significance for University students at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning when clocks are changed to conform with the enactment of Congress regarding daylight saving time.
Of course, you can always call the telephone operator to ask the common question, "Correct time, please." (If she doesn't know, go back to bed and sleep it off—it's probably hopeless.)
A good idea for sorority and fraternity houses would be to ring the dinner gong at 2 a.m. so that members could parade from room to room to change the ticking gadgets. One unlucky person (chump) should be appointed to watch for the dying hour—just so the great event won't slip by unnoticed.
In case you are planning to return early Monday morning from a weekend trip, get to the bus or train station a day or so ahead of time, because what bus and train schedules will bring forth (or probably won't bring forth if it's the bus or train of which you are thinking of) is not guaranteed. If the train is an hour late, how will you know if it was an hour late before 2 o'clock or an hour late after 3 o'clock or an hour late because the clock was moved up from 2 to 3 o'clock or—oh, well, you can always walk!
If you live far from the University campus,you might carry a flashlight to guide your way in the early morning,because blackouts will have nothing on 8:30 classes. Perhaps the University will establish (continued to page three)

University Shifts into High on Its War Courses
In its plan to provide trained men and women for service to their country during wartime and the peaceful conditions to follow, the University has enlarged its curriculum to include new courses especially designed for that preparation.
Navigation is a course designed to give students a working knowledge of that subject. Prof. N. W. Storer said that of 34 enrolled in the class, over half were in the V-7 naval program, and will receive approximately the same training in
this course they will get later in the navy.
A general course in military law open only to seniors is conducted by Prof. J.B. Smith and has 15 enrolled.
Vacuum Tube Electronics, taught by Prof. J. D. Stranathan, has been offered for several years, but it is being emphasized this year because it is in a field where there is a shortage of men. "The government needs men trained in radio and general vacuum tube work more than in any other field," Professor Stranathan said. Thirteen students have already enrolled in the course.
Twelve students have enrolled in Prof. C. J. Posey's Meteorology — a study of nature and causes of weather
conditions, including consideration of atmospheric temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and circulation. It is designed for those who will take up aviation or enter the weather service.
Aerial Photographs and their uses, taught by Prof. H. T. U. Smith, includes interpretation of geographic, topographic, and cultural features as shown on serial maps, and the preparation of maps from aerial photographs with special reference to military application.
A brief course of elementary surveying for those who are not studying to be civil engineers, and map reading and interpretation, are other new war courses.
Advanced surveying, aircraft
Time and motion study includes application of motion economy principles, time study, rating, allowances, and formula building.
drafting, aircraft engine testing, aircraft materials and construction practices, elementary surveying, mathematics, metallurgy, radio engineering, safety engineering, physical testing of materials and physics are courses offered.
Courses particularly interesting to women have been introduced in the Hill curriculum. Red Cross courses feature training in home nursing, first aid, and nutrition. These three courses have no service obligation and carry one-hour credit.
Practical Nurse Aid Training
course which includes classroom lectures and demonstrations, with 150 hours of practical experience in an approved hospital. Candidates are obligated to finish the course and give 150 hours of volunteer service annually to maintain their certificate, and must serve whenever they are called.
Nurse's aides is a three-hour credit
The department of home economics offers several regular courses which may meet wartime need either at home or in camps. A curriculum in occupational therapy has been organized to lead to a bachelor's degree.
Elementary and advanced work in flight instruction and military training in infantry and ocast artillery are offered the University student.

Red Hair or Else For Sig Ep Pledges
Sigma Phi Epsilon pledges searched the campus Friday for flashing and beautiful red heads. Actives had sternly warned that each must have a date with a redheaded woman Friday night, must bring her to the house for an hour dance and pass under the approval of active authority.
The warning was also added that any pledge failing to show up at the house without a redhead to the Sig Ep's traditional "hell week" would receive cheerfully and in a hearty manner a penalty of 25 paddles. Pledges bringing a blonde were to receive five paddles and 10 for brunettes. Six men received 25 paddles and one man five.
Each girl was required to sign the register before leaving the house, after reading the following notice: Every girl, in signing the Red Register, certifies that she is a natural red head, and that she has at some time during her life time has been called "Red." She must certify that she is enrolled in Kansas University, and preferably she must like to dance. Her professors in literature must consider her well read, and she must be ready for anything that comes her way. Politically she should be known as a Red, and it is permissible if her face reddens at such a thought. Athletically she may be classed as rough and ready, and it is praiseworthy if she readily takes to sports.
Names signed on the register were: Margaret Butler, Florence Allen, Donna White (blond), B. J. Hamilton, Hilda Miner, Mary Ann Deckard, Dolores Tierney, Margaret Replogle, Alice Jeane Lemon, and Betty Mott.

Some Rest After Parties Others Start in Hell Week
Despite the fact that the wind is beginning to howl around the corners and is making it a muscular-leg-struggle to go to classes, the sun is doing its part to brighten the college men and women's life, urging them outside. And then the night's been too bad for college social life. Neither too warm to keep dancing partners distant, nor to cold to cause teeth to clatter at awkward moments.
But after two days of merry-making, gay parties and dances, it is Praise Alluh for a day of rest. Men and women attending the Cooperative Hall's Valentine dance and the Pi Phi's winter formal Friday night and those attending the Delt's dinner-dance in the Union building, the Kappa Sig's Black and White and Carruth Hall's party last night are ready to make this a quiet day.

Custer Is Vindicated In White Man's Opinion
By CHARLES PEARSON, Student at The University
The battle of the Little Big Horn has become an epic in the history of the West, through the bravery and daring of General Cus- He was a hero of the Civil War, appreciated by superior officers, and rapidly promoted to the rank of General for brilliant performance of duties. The Indians so respected his fighting ability and courage that his was the only body after the massacre which was not horribly mutil-
Custer, in command of eleven companies of 600 men, was sent to Little Big Horn to bar the escape to the east of a band of Indians under Crazy Horse. Custer believed the band to consist of only about 1,200 Pawnees, marching to join Sitting Bull, and resolved to surround and capture them. The Indians were on a ridge west of Little Big Horn. The general kept five companies, 260 men in all, for a direct attack on the center, and detailed four companies to Major Reno to assail their left, and two companies to Captain Benteen to come up on the right rear, thus blocking their retreat. It was good strategy, but the Indians were so much more numerous than he had expected that it was impossible to win.
The Indians were concealed behind a ravine, and as Custer forded the stream they rode out against him. Fighting valiantly against forces which outnumbered them 20 to 1, the General and a few of his men reached the ridge, where they were encircled and killed.
Custe rhas been accused of insubordination; of attacking when he has been detailed only to scout, but such accusations have never been proved. It is believed that the Indians became aware of his presence, and he attacked before they could. it is certain that his attack was not the result of sheer hardihood, for the army has always discouraged such display. Regardless of motive, a stirring chapter of American history was written on June 25, 1876.

Defensively the entire Jayhawk team was tops. The Nebraska five was held without a field goal for 12 minutes of the first half and after Sid Held made a one-hander at that point, the Kansans clamped on the manacles again and allowed only two free throws in the last eight minutes as the first half ended 29 to 8.
John Buescher played his usual beautiful passing game and had chalked up two buckets when he committed his third foul at the 13-minute mark and Coach "Phog" Allen removed him temporarily. Held opened the scoring by converting a free toss but the Kansans

Miller had made nine points in this time but just at the mid-way mark he missed two consecutive free throws and this seemed to slow him down. Both teams slowed down after 15 minutes had been played. The score read 28 to 7 then and in the next five minutes each team tallied only one point, the half ending 29 to 8.
The second half was a repetition of the first as far as Kansas offense was concerned but in the latter portions of the period when substitutes started pouring into the game, the defense weakened and Nebraska was playing on even terms with the Allen-eagers. Subs. Come. In.
At the 10-minute mark Kansas led 44 to 18. At this point Miller had 19 points. Three minutes later Kansas passed the 50-point total and Allen started substituting. The last seven minutes were even-stephen as each team scored eight points, making a final total of 58 to 30.
Miller's 24 points pulled him ahead of Held in the conference individual scoring race with an average of 12.7. Black maintained his third spot but his average dropped to 13 points.

If a registrant has more than one place of residence, for example, a student, he may choose the one he wants recorded and thus designate the local draft board which will always have jurisdiction over him
Only men exempt from the registration are those in the army, navy, marines, coast guard, coast and geodetic survey, public health service, national guard or reserve corps; cadets in the naval or military academies; and diplomatic representatives of foreign countries.

Custer's Mission Is Seen From Indian Viewpoint
By ALMEDIA GREEN, Student at Haskell Institute
When George A. Custer was born in Ohio, in 1839, little did people realize he would later become a great general and fight one of the most outstanding battles in history.
In Montana and the Dakotas, disturbances. The government's Black Hills was ignored by Chiefriors to Little Big Horn and refuseal George Custer, called the Ydians, was sent to Little Big Horn were supposed to end what they ting Bull. They attacked Sitting When Custer and his troops attiadian warriors were superior to them. The battle lasted about twenty minutes. Every man in Custer's troop was killed. Histories say that the battle ended the trouble with the Sioux Indians for some time. If Chief Sitting Bull had written the history, he might have said that that battle ended the trouble with the government forces for a while.
In Montana and the Dakotas, the Sioux Indians were causing disturbances. The government's treaty with them to leave the Black Hills was ignored by Chief Sitting Bull. He took his warriors to Little Big Horn and refused to leave. In June, 1876, General George Custer, called the Yellow Hair Fighter of the Indians, was sent to Little Big Horn. General Custer and his troops were supposed to end what they called the hostile career of Sitting Bull. They attacked Sitting Bull's camp from both sides. When Custer and his troops attacked, they found that the Indian warriors were superior to
Because of the complete massacre of Custer's troops, some people called the Indians murderers. However, the Indians should not have been calumniated. They were fighting for hunting grounds that they had had for years. General Custer had led his men into battle because is was his duty. It is hard to say which was right. This was just one of the
many battles in which great leaders participated.
Since "Custer's Last Stand," there have been many who have fought and made leaders. However, we will have to acknowledge the bravery of General Custer and his little troop of 208 men. It certainly must have taken courage to attack a camp of Indians, knowing they were hostile. We should remember General Custer as a gallant general who fought and died for what he thought was right.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
The refereeing at the Creighton-Kansas game Tuesday night was not only pleasing to the spectators but more important, to the players and coaches themselves. "Phog" Allen commented that the officiating of Mike Oberhelman and A. B. Hinshaw was the best that night that he had seen in three years.
YOUNG REFEREES ARE BEST
Allen was especially enthusiastic over the work of Oberhelman. He said that henceforth he will recommend only young referees who are working high school games. They are more active and alert while on the court and furthermore, they are not afraid to call decisions as they see them. "This fearless calling of fouls is what I like," the wily Kansas coach said. "I'm getting tired of having these fellows from Kansas City come over and ignore so many violations.
"And I think that these new officials are just the ones to stop this mad rushing down the court, fouling this way and that," he continued. "They won't have any obligations and they'll call the fouls as they're made and put the guilty players out of the game. This will make the game more sane. But I still think that the rule makers are responsible for the high number of fouls that are being made in each game. If the center jump were brought back and a rotation made of this, the game would be slowed down, the players would take more time on their plays, and better basketball would result."
ONE MINUTE DRAMA
Eddie Hickey, coach of the Creighton Bluejay team, hollered down the bench for Barney Burdick, former Rockhurst High player and at present a sophomore center on the Creighton team, to take off his warmups and get ready to go in the game Tuesday night for Ed Beisser, regular center. Burdick sat there for a moment and then yelled back at Hickey, "Do you want me to go in now, Coach?" Hickey was infuriated at this remark and snarled back, "You take off your warmups and get ready to go in and sit right there until I want to send you in and I'll call you."
DORNEY MAY BE CHOICE AT ROCKHURST
When Kansas played in Kansas City against the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team, the teams of Rockhurst and Baker played the preliminary. Baker won in a comparatively easy game but that was not the important part. Jack Hayes, the Rockhurst coach, was inducted into the Naval Reserve along with three members of the Union Wire Rope team of the Kansas City Naismith League, Clarence "Pansy" Ratzlaff, Al Schrik, and Evans Powell.
Comment during the game, in the main by students of Rockhurst College, was that "as a basketball coach Hayes is a good football coach." In fact, the Rockhurst students were overjoyed that Hayes was enlisting in the Naval Reserve. He is scheduled to leave March 25.
The new coach at Rockhurst has not been selected as yet although applications are being received regularly. The best prospect at the present time seems to be Tom Dorney, present Ward High School football coach. Dorney has been relinquishing several of his extra activities during the past few years in contemplation of just such an opening. Last year Dorney was a popular choice for the Rockhurst vacancy but was neglected when the appointment was made. This year, however, he seems to be the logical successor to Hayes and is the popular choice of the Rockhurst students.
S300 FOR THE WICHITA GAME
The goodwill game at Wichita this year did not prove quite the bonanza that the same affair was last year. At the latter game the University pocketed $745 as its share of the gate receipts. This year however K.U. received only $300 as its share. Perhaps the biggest explanation of this difference lies in the method of ticket sales.
Last year the Wichita Booster Club handled ticket sales and a total income of $1,881 was received. This year the Booster Club was a little provoked at the firing of Al Gebert and refused to back the ticket drive. As a result the income totaled only $872. This might not be as bad as it sounds, however, for the profit that the Booster Club made last year was put into a fund to secure football players for Wichita and this certainly doesn't help the University any.
Weekend intramural basketball play was featured Friday night by a brilliant scoring exhibition given by a red-hot Beta Theta Pi five as they walloped a bewildered Sigma Nu quintet by a record score of 96 to 20
It was the highest total accumulated by any team in intramural play this season, and gave the Beta's five triumphs against two losses in Division II play. Leading the strong victor's attack was Frank Bennett, who garnered 33 points to establish a new individual scoring record for the year. He received able assistance from John Fletcher and Jim Surface, who contributed 28 and 22 points respectively. John Cleverly led the Sig Nu scorers with 6 points.
The Beta squad hit baskets from all positions early in the game to go into a 39 to 7 halftime lead, and then continued the merciless rout in the last half.
Dean Huebert Leads Phi Delt's
The Beta "B" squadmen, however, were not quite as fortunate as their big brothers and lost yesterday morning to the Phi Delta Theta "B" crew by a lop-sided 33 to 8 score. By virtue of their win the Phi Delt's annexed the championship of Division IV with a record of seven wins and one loss.

Leading the Phi Delt offensive was Dean Huebert with Frosty Wilson giving valuable assistance on rebounds and floor-play. Clint Kanaga, who was ejected from the game in the third quarter by referee "Curly" Hayden for unnecessary roughness, was the defensive bulwark for the Edgehill Road team. Tom O'Meeil led the Beta cause.
Postponement Taboo In Intramurals-Elbel
Three of the scheduled 18 weekend games resulted in forfeitures. Several other contests were postponed. Teams forfeiting were Alpha Kappa Psi to Delta Upsilon "B"; Sigma Chi "C" to Alpha Tau Omega "C"; and Sigma Nu "B" to Kappa Sigma "B".
There will be no further postponements of intramural basketball contests this semester, unless the team asking for the postponement has an exceptional reason for desiring it, Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of intramural sports, ruled yesterday.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon had little trouble defeating Delta Tau Delta, taking their Saturday morning game 36 to 14. Frank Gage was high point man for the game with 13 talles. John Goheen led the D.T.D. offense with three field goals.
Sig Alphs Win Easy
The Union Fountainers got hot in an overtime period to edge out the boys from Rock Chalk Coop 17
The announcement came after a week end of intramural play in which several contests were postponed. Other teams forfeited their games.
Dr. Elbel explained that such wholesale postponements disrupted the carefully planned schedule for the season.

I-State Tomorrow
"Iowa State, the toughest team in the conference!" That's what the experts said at the beginning of the season but tomorrow night the Kansas Jayhawkers will take the floor in Hoch auditorium in an effort to further deflate the Cyhopes the Iowans might have clones and dispel any remote concerning the Big Six title.
And the game will prove a welcome one indeed, for the Jayhawks have been looking forward to this game ever since Jan. 19 when the Cyclones so unconcernedly upset the Kansas title-cart with a 44 to 41 victory.
MISTERIA 5
Memories of Ames
That game carries many remembrances for the Kansens. In the first place Marvin Sollenberger was ousted from the game with only 18 minutes played with four personal fouls. That fact still rankles in the minds of the players.
More than that, the crowd itself was rude to the point of being uncoath. The Kansas players said to themselves, "Just wait until Iowa State comes down to Lawrence. We will give them a real licking and show them that our crowd contains true sportsmen."
HARRIS · · SCHNEIDER · · BUDOLFSON
The "big three" in Iowa State College basketball scoring are Captain Al Budelfson and Beb Harris, both seniors and former all-conference forwards, and Carol Schneider, senior guard. Budelfson is the top man with a total of 179 points, 92 of which he has secured in Big Six play. Harris has scored 115 points, 50 in the conference, while Schneider's totals are 95 and 47.
Well, that time has come and the Jayhawks are ready. Coach Allen has been planning for this game as well as his players and yesterday he was contemplating inserting Bobby Johnson into the starting line-up.
Johnson May Guard Budellson.
Johnson, who is very speedy and quick in his actions, has not started any games this year although in several games he has played outstanding ball. The reason for the insertion of the shifty Johnson into the line-up is to have him guard Alf Budolffon, high-scoring Cyclone forward.
Budolfson has been held under
Dr. Allen Makes Call For Varsity Baseball
First call for varsity baseball practice was issued yesterday by Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, baseball coach. Coach Allen, who is at present engaged in coaching the basketball squad, appointed Knute Kresie as acting captain and Kresie will have charge of all practices until the cage season is over.
would have to be made in baseball expenditures for this spring and this might necessitate doing away with any Big Six competition.
The first practice is called for 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and will last until five o'clock. These practices will be held every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in Robinson gymnasium. All players interested should leave their names and phone numbers at Dr. Allen's office, Room 105 in Robinson, and attend as many of these early practices as possible.
The first workouts will consist of skipping rope, using the punching bag and medicine ball, and engaging in handball and volleyball matches. These exercises will condition the legs, arms, and backs of the players and prepare them for the more strenuous outdoor work.
Yesterday, however, Allen thought it would be possible to at least schedule four games apiece with Kansas State and Missouri. Baker, Ottawa, and other smaller schools would be supplemented to this schedule.
Allen was highly optimistic over the chances of his baseball team. In the last meeting of the athletic board, it was ruled that a cut
Schneider Is Tallest
Other leading stars for Coach Louis Menze's team are Bob Harris and Carol Schneider, the only seniors on the squad beside Budolfson. Harris was all-conference in his sophomore year and this season has averaged 7.4 points a game in Big Six play. His best scoring effort was the first Kansas game in which he scored four field goals and three free throws.
10 points only twice in Big Six play. Bob McCurdy, sophomore guard at Oklahoma, limited him to one field goal and four free throws. At Manhattan, the Wildcats h e l d him down to three field goals and three free throws.
Against Kansas at Ames Budoisson, was the main thorn to the Jayhawks. He tallied seven field goals and four free throws before leaving the game on personal fouls with two minutes to play.
K.U. Cagers and the Draft

expect to go into the service this June, upon graduating. Similar to other college men throughout the country, Kansas basketball players have fallen in line with the government's suggestion that juniors and seniors stay in school until they finish the work necessary for graduation.
Bob Johnson, senior center, has enlisted in the Naval Air Corps and begins training in June. T. P. Hunter, senior guard, now taking CAA flight training, is slated to go into either the Army or Navy Air Corps when school is out this spring.
Ralph Miller, senior forward, hopes to get into the physical instructor end of the Naval Air Corps. Hub Ulrich, another fourth-year man, has signed with the V-7 division of the Naval Reserve and will begin officer's training, following graduation.
Marvin Sollenberger and Charlie Walker, guards, are engineering students and likely will be deferred to finish their schooling for that reason. Sollenberger has another year yet before he graduates.
Don Ettinger, sophomore guard, may enlist in the Army Air Corps before long and Warren Israel, juniion guard, is a pre-med student and may ultimately see service with the Army Medical Corps.
Classified as 2B are John Buescher, junior center, and George Dick, junior forward. Both were disqualified for physical defects when given their selective service physical examinations.
K-State Wins Track Meet
Two records were smashed as Kansas State's track team downed Kansas 69 2-3 to 34 1-3 on the indoor cinder path here yesterday.
Jim Upham, Kansas State quarter miler, broke his own record in that event as he blazed through a 52.6 quarter.
In the mile the Wildcat's sophomore standout, Al Rues, scampered away in a fast finish to win in 4:27.2. This eclipsed the 4:29.9 record of Ray Harris, former Kansas distance ace, which was set in 1940.
Kansas won firsts with Don Pollom in the 60 yard dash, Dick Edwards in the half mile, and Eldridge King in the high jump. Jim Cordell tied for first in the pole vault.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Why is it that so many schools over the country are expanding their athletic set-ups whereas we here at the University are told we can't have baseball, tennis, golf, or any enlargement of the intramural program? Surely the school isn't that poor. And if the Administration is trying to save money to make up for any loss incurred with their looked-for drop in enrollment in the coming years it doesn't seem logical for educators in other schools are expecting an increase in underclassmen in the next few years that will offset any drop by the juniors and seniors.
And furthermore, if the University fathers are really trying to save money why don't they fire a few of these Conscientious Objectors that are on the state pay-roll. Does it seem right that the taxpayers of the state give their money to a government which in turn hands it over to a University that hires C.O.'s? Instead of the University using this money to pay "objectors," why doesn't it use the funds to enlarge an athletic program which would produce real, red-blooded Americans that would be willing to get into the thick of a fight to protect this country instead of sneaking away to plant trees in the hills of Arkansas or Colorado.
UNCLE SAM WANTS REAL HE-MEN
It is a definite fact that many C.O.'s are included in this school year's payroll of the University's faculty and employees. This in itself might not be too obnoxious but when the University then can deprive the athletic department of needed funds it seems that one step too many has been taken. The government doesn't want more tree planters. Uncle Sam wants fighting men, physically fit to stand the rigors of battle and emerge the victor.
Lieutenant Colonel Tom Hamilton, physical director of the United States Air Corps, told athletic directors and coaches at the National Football Coaches' Association meeting in Detroit last December that expansion, not curtailment, of football and other athletic sports was what the government wanted.
"Twenty years of slack living have left American youth soft," Colonel Hamilton continued, "and rough, competitive contact sports such as football, boxing, and soccer are needed more than anything else in the world to get our youth ready to fight."
Northwestern, Michigan, and a score of other schools have announced an expansion of their athletic programs, especially in intramurals. The scope of men's intramurals has been so widened that nearly every male student in these schools is now connected with some type of competitive athletics. These students are placed in groups of their own ability and great stress is placed on the physical conditioning of the body.
Even in the Big Six expansion is going on. Football coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster of the University of Oklahoma will call practice tomorrow for his junior varsity football squad which is to be composed of boys who hithertofore have been too little, not quite skillful enough, or too busy studying and working to come out for football.
WHAT DO YOU SAY. ADMINISTRATION?
"We're going to get 150 football players ready for Uncle Sam, not just 50," Luster explains. "We're going to try to make them tough and fast and fit," he continues, "so when the government calls them, as it will eventually call every male student, they'll be ready physically to take everything it gives them."
What Luster is doing at Oklahoma can be done on every college campus in the country and in every sport. Most certainly it can be done here. But the Administration will have to make a change in its policy before it can be started effectively and carried on to a successful conclusion.
Instead of hiring new coaches the athletic department could double up the present coaches. Why should the University want another new football coach when Bill Hargiss still one of the best gridiron mentors in the business, is present and available during the fall months. If he can't be used on the varsity staff (and it is still puzzling why he isn't there right now) then he could very easily start and put across the plan that Luster is starting tomorrow at Oklahoma.
Henry Shenk is another man available. Shenk was one of the most successful high school coaches in Kansas and left Junction City just this year to join the Kansas faculty. Vic Hurt and Bill Replogle could also be put to very good use in the off-months of the football season. The list is supplemented even further when you consider the graduate students in physical education or the varsity athletes that are planning on teaching or coaching. All of these could be used very easily and very cheaply in a great expansion of the University varsity and intramural set-up.

NCAA Bid Hangs On Tuesday Tilt
The question of who will represent the mid-west in the N.C.A. A. playoffs this March will get a definite answer Tuesday night when Creighton's Bluejays meet Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers in Hoch auditorium.
The Bluejays, with an enviable record to their credit, rest at the top of the heap in the Missouri Valley Conference, and the Jayhawks have suffered but one defeat in Big Six competition. These two teams are considered $ ^{*} $
Past Records Are Even
Incidentally, NCAA competition is not new to either team, Kansas after having fallen before Creighton 35-33 during the regular season in 1940, went on to place second to Indiana in the national
in past years with each team winning three contests. The Jayhawks routed the Jays 29 to 7 in 1923 and edged them out 31-29 in 1927. Creighton bounced back in 1929 and 1930 to win 44-27 and 44-20. In 1931 Kansas won 38-32, with Creighon taking the 1940 game 35-33. Kansas City Boys Rate High

Oklahoma A and M Track Star 'Swiped' Sooners Are At It Again
By CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
Oklahoma has done it again! Seemingly not content with theeners supply of athletic talent on the Norman campus the Oklahoma athletic officials have gone recruiting again and this time they have come up with
probably the outstanding track prospect of last year's high school crop.
The star in question is Burton Cossey, a freshman in the School of Engineering at Oklahoma A. and M., Stillwater, during the past semester. Last year he attended high school at Centerview, Okla., and gained All-American rating as a result of his
O. U. Being Unfair
(The following article appeared in the Wednesday edition of The Daily O'Collegian, official student paper of Oklahoma A. and M. College, as an open editorial on the front page. It was written by Don Boydston, editor of the O'Collegian and a famous track star in his own right. Two years ago in an indoor meet he high jumped 6 feet 8 7-8 inches—Sports Editor's Note).
Oklahoma University is going too far in open subsidization of athletes.
We aren't calling anyone names, we are not stating the opinion of anyone but this writer's, and we aren't whining, but from all indications the policy of the University of Oklahoma in obtaining their athletes is unfair and dishonest.
Perhaps the best way to let you know about this little debacle is to give you the facts and let you decide for yourself to see if it was A. and M. that was Tuckered out this time.
Last year Burton Cossey, a limber-limbed lad hailing from Center View, Oklahoma, a whistle-stop near Prague, leaped six foot four and one-half inches in the state interscholastic meet, setting a new state high school record and also earning an All American rating as one of the best high school jumpers in the nation.
He also excelled in the broad jump and the hop-step and jump.
He was a fine student, valedictorian of his class and wanted to come to Oklahoma A. and M. and study engineering.
He enrolled here last fall and made high enough grades this last semester to make the dean's honor roll.
In the early season practice session he jumped far enough in the hop-step-and-jump to give Coach Ralph Higgins the vision of a national A.A.U. championship in the event.
They wrote him letters, called him long distance, came to see him and just generally made life miserable.
A week ago Burton told some of his team-mates that he wished the O.U bunch would leave him alone and that Jap Haskell, athletic director at Oklahoma university, had called him the night before.
Then last Saturday night Dick Smethers, distance man at the University and Bob Seymour, former football player for the Sooners, came to Stillwater to see Cossey.
Evidently they put the pressure on the lad because three hours after they blew in, they had Burton in his room helping him to pack his bags for the trip to Norman.
A friend of Burton's, Wendell Wilson, tried to walk into the victim's room for a visit but the door was abruptly slammed in his face and the Norman visitors went on with their preparation.
If what Cossey has said is true, and if the University of Oklahoma had the gall to come on the A. and M. campus and pack a boy's clothes and transport him to Norman after he had already enrolled and attended classes here this semester then, its a pretty lousy deal.
Of course the kid is somewhat to blame. He shouldn't allow stories of sugar plums and a clock-winding job to turn his head, but then too, high-pressuring a kid is sometimes pretty easy.
From personal experience we remember how O.U. promised everything within reason and more too, but on our arrival there it was found that we didn't even have a place to sleep.
That's about all we have to say.
You can draw your own conclusions from the above statement of facts. As we said before, we think their actions unfair and dishonest.
track efforts. He high jumped six feet four and one-half inches and this leap was the best in the nation. The jump also set a new Oklahoma record and was recorded during the state interscholastic meet. Besides being a high jumping expert, Cossey starred in the broadjump and the hop-step and jump events.
Sooner Athletes Persuaded Cossey
The Centerview star enrolled at Stillwater this fall and impressed the officials there very favorably. Not only was he in the upper third of his class in engineering and on the dean's honor roll but he was popular with schoolmates in A. and M.'s big Cordell hall and performed well his campus job which provided him with room and board.
Everything was going along smoothly for Cossey and for the Aggie authorities until last Saturday. The track star was already re-enrolled in school and seemed set for this semester until Dick Smethers, Sooner track star, and Bob Seymour, former Sooner football ace, dropped in at Stillwater to see Cossey. Within a few hours the three of them were on their way to Norman where Cossey enrolled in the School of Aeronautical Engineering.
No Official Action Yet
No Official Action Yet
Feeling on the Aggie campus at Stillwater was running quite high this week although no official action had been taken as yet by Henry Iba, director of athletics at the Aggie school. Reason for no action as yet is that Iba left Stillwater late Tuesday with his basketball squad on a swing to the North where they faced Drake University at Des Moines Wednesday night and Creighton University at Omaha last night.
Before leaving on the trip Baa stated "I believe this will be worked out without trouble for the boy. I will have a conference with Jap Haskell (Oklahoma's athletic director) early next week when we are to meet in Oklahoma City about some other matters. I am sure that when we have all the information before us, this can be settled." Only Cossey Wise Tolliver
Only Cossey Was Talkative
On the Norman campus athletic officials refused to become excited about the affair. Haskell was not too talkative but did remark that the transfer of the athlete was regular. John Jacobs, Sooner track coach, was another who offered no comment.
Cossey however was entirely different. He seemed willing to talk on both campuses but with conflicting statements. While at Stillwater he objected to the many letters, phone calls, and visitors whom he was re-

State Guard to See Army Equipment
Monday night the local unit of the state guard will be the guest of the University R.O.T.C. department to inspect new military equipment which has been brought down from Fort Riley for inspection by military units here.
Col. James Dusenbury has made the facilities available and the demonstration will be in direct charge of Col. J. R. Gage, associate professor of military science, and his assistants.

An Iowa State Idea Worth Looking Into
(This article appeared Wednesday in the Iowa State Daily Student and is inserted as an indication of what is being accomplished at other schools in obtaining the cream of each state's high school athletic crop. It is not the intention of the Daily Kansan to set Iowa State up as the pinnacle in athletic proficiency but it does provide an idea by which the University of Kansas could improve her athletic squads.-Sports Editor's Note.)
When you walk unexpectedly into a dormitory where 16 men sleep and all 16 beds are made, you might wonder. But not when you know the "fellows" who room in West Stadium like Doug Kerr, of the Physical Education Department for Men and assistant line coach of the Cyclone grid squad.
This is a strictly freshmen residence hall, Kerr emphasized. Only Iowa men are residents and their scholastic average must register 2.0.

The KANSAN Comments...
Our Sleepy Ally
Because the British are so confident that theirs is the greatest fleet in the world, that they will always be able to muddle through, they are becoming a burden upon their allies. This dull confidence of theirs mounts up to monumental stupidity. They are grossly negligent in their war planning and execution.
It had been known to the British for about three weeks that the Germans planned movement of the Gneisenau, Scharnhorst, and Prinz Eugen. They weren't aware that the ships were to be taken through the English channel, but they did know they were to be taken somewhere. So, what did they do? Nothing. They sat on their "tight little isle" without making preparation to stop the ship movement.
The Germans, recognizing by now English lethargy and general lack of alertness, decided the spectacular thing to do was to send these important ships through the Channel, under the noses of their enemies. It will have a wonderful effect upon the moral of the German people, when they hear that three of their ships were able to get through the channel, past the doddering owners of the world's proudest fleet.
The escape of these three ships makes the sickly German fleet something to be reckoned with in the Atlantic. With the fleets of Britain and the United States on active duty in the Pacific; with the necessity for patrolling the Mediterranean, and the necessity of convoying supply ships to Britain, the strengthened Germans may be able to go almost anywhere, even to our own coasts.
There is need for unity and cooperation between the powers comprising the United Nations. But, there is also need that each ally do his part, be on the alert, and try to maintain officials who know what the score is.
People in Georgia, led by Governor Talmadge, staged a bicycle parade to prove that the bicycle can replace the automobile. Any boy of high school age could have told them that, from bitter experience with an adamant father.
Privation Leads to Victory
Those of us who think tire and automobile rationing is a heavy price to pay for national defense are due to see things in the future which will make these seem mild in comparison. To date, the sacrifice hasn't been heavy enough to cause much suffering to civilians, or to do much good in defense.
"Proirities" is a word bearing an unpleasant connotation to most of us. It is a synonym for the rationing system, a system which is essential if we are to beat the Axis. The priorities system decides what is absolutely necessary for defense; the remainder being doled out to manufacturers of non-essential items. When there is not enough to go around, we must substitute or go without.
From an estimated total supply of 1,800,000 tons of copper for next year, 1,550,000 are absolutely essential for defense. This leaves about 250,000 tons for all civilian use; less than a quarter of the normal annual demand. Either we substitute something else for the copper used by civilians, or we go without.
In steel, without a rationing system, the demand in 1942 would be 32,000,000 tons in excess of the amount available. Even with severe trimming, U.S. steel production will be about four and one-half million tons short. It appears that the civilian will have to go without. Yet,
without a rationing system, the demand for steel would be such that, quoting Donald Nelson, "our defenses would wither away from malnutrition, plants that could not bid successfully for steel would close; and we would be literally, not profanely, in a hell of a mess."
The court in Philadelphia had to stop and consider when a gentleman by the name of Zweguintzoff asked that his name be changed toZvegintzov. He, being a modernist, goes in for phonetic spelling.
Sponsors of an exhibit of surrealist art in Birmingham had to call the art editor of the newspaper and request return of the book he had describing the pictures. They were trying to hang them, and couldn't tell which was the top of the things.

Accent on Hell Week: Pity the poor Delt Freshmen. . . . for them this week, it's burlap underwear and not even a look in at a razor. The Alpha Chi pledges are wearing their hair like Veronica Lake and their telephone repartee goes like this: "This is Heaven! What little angel do you wish to speak to?" For variation today they tried this theme: "This is Hell! What the devil do you want?"
Why women hate men: Lucile Gillie happens to go with a gentleman at the A.T.O. house named Jack Walker. Last week he presented her, via the mails, with an A.T.O. housebill. Against her better judgement she is making arrangements to pay it off on the installment plan.
Byron Schroeder is one of those boys you read about in the Famous Last Words departments in all the better obituary columns. Last week, fearing that his Model A was running out of water, he stuck a lighted match in the general area of the water tank. He got a little too close to the source of things, and the alcohol in the antifreeze reacted chemically in a big way. So big that Byron had to take his face over to Watkins to get it repaired.
Something like this could only be unearthed on Honest Abe Lincoln's birthday. Yesterday Kappa Sig prexy Howard Rankin revealed that he had a story that could beat anything the Great Enamicipator ever pulled.
Howard recently received a special delivery air-mail letter postmarked from N.Y. City which contained a summa cum laude confessional from a cook named Maggie Riley whom the Kappa Sig chapter of 19 years ago had employed. Maggie has just recently seen the light of a better order and has taken herself to the confines of Father Devine's redeemed. To insure herself a happier life, Maggie wishes, at this time, to return to the Kappa Sig's fifteen cents to cover the cost of some coffee she stole from the chapter house 19 years ago. She also regrets the fact that she left the scarlet, green, and white boys without giving notice, realizing now, in her enlightened state, that this was wrong and evil.
Maggie ended her letter with a general blessing for a bigger and better life, and asked Howard to write to Father Devine, and inform him that she, Maggie Riley, has straightened her accounts with Kappa Sigma of Lawrence, Kansas. Which Rank is now doing.
Jobs for College Men--- Viesselman Explains Government Placement

Bridge Expert Puts More Pep Into Contract
Lynn, Mass., (UP)-Drive Contract—a spectacular new bridge game for the nation's estimated 20-000,000 players—has been devolved by J. Frank Healey, an Americanization counselor who would rather play cards than eat.
The game is a modified form of progressive contract bridge with a "minor slam bonus" for a five-bid in a minor suit.
Healey, a slight, nervous teacher-player for 13 years, currently is writing a book in which he plans to develop the idea of "minor slams."
For four years he has been experimenting with the "equal suit" idea whereby all suits except no trump have the same value. His record of experiments and averages tend to show that the "equal suit" game would detract from the delicate bidding situations that arise on minor suit hands.
"The minor slam," Healey says, "is for the purpose of counter balancing the unlogical awarding of the game at 10 tricks for spades and hearts and 11 tricks at diamonds and clubs. By awarding a minor slam bonus to the two minor suits, a variety of bidding levels are retained at which game may be reached."
Under Healey's plan, a bidder might feel it well worth the risk to stretch a three no-trump game bid into five diamonds or clubs. If the minor suit bid was successful the reward would be substantial.
Healey describes "drive contract" as a shorter method of conducting tournaments.
"In drive contract," he says, there is only one set of scoring. No rubbers are played and each hand is an individual contest. Partial scores cannot be carried over from one hand to another and game must be bid and made on one hand in order to score the game bonus. The regular contract scoring is used with the following exceptions:
1. All hands are bid, played and scored as though both sides always were vulnerable.
2. Game bid and made on one hand scores a 500 point bonus.
3. Any successful less-than-game contract scores a 100 point bonus.
4. A minor slam bonus of 350 points is scored for fulfilling a contract for five diamonds or five clubs.
5. These bonuses are in addition to trick and honor scores.

According to a letter received from Lieut. John S. Hays, assistant in the Office of the Quartermaster General, it is the policy of the Quartermaster Corps to make appointments as far as possible from Civil Service registers of eligibles. The
quickest way for the citizen to make himself available, then, is to have his name placed on the Civil Service Register.
Courses in technical schools have been established under Army supervision for the training of specialists.
Among the specialist classifications in the Quartermaster's Corps are the following: automobile electrician, automobile mechanic, diesel engine, draftsman, topographical draftsman, general electrician, radio electrician, statistician, stenographer, and typist.

The KANSAN Comments...
Let's Place 'Em Here
The University sincerely hopes it will be given a chance to house Army cadets as part of its share in contributing to national war aims. According to the plan now under Army consideration, the University would convert the under portion of Memorial stadium into barracks and rent them to the Army Air Corps as quarters for approximately 500 of Uncle Sam's future flying soldiers.
Men stationed here would be air cadets in the initial or physical-training stage. They would be given no flying instruction at all, but instead would be subjected to a general toughening-up process. Actual flight instruction would be reserved until the men had gone on to the next phase of training given at one of the Army's regular flying schools.
This is in keeping with the latest plan of our aerial flying forces which provides that its cadets be given preliminary physical conditioning at certain bases designated for that purpose before sending them off to begin actual flying instruction.
About a month ago the Navy first gave out information that it was considering a program of this nature. One week later the Army chimed in with the news of a similar proposal to colleges and universities over the southern half of the United States. The Army seems more interested, however, in having such bases located in the midwest than does the Navy.
Chancellor Malott has wisely advised Washington of the University's willingness to become a host to future Army airmen. In addition, Edward Brush of the University aeronautical department has made a trip to Washington for the sole purpose of offering the use of our campus. The University has even prepared construction plans, should we be selected as one of the training sites.
An official representative is scheduled to arrive on the campus very shortly to inspect it as a possible location. Let's hope that when the list of approved locations comes out, Kansas will be in the starting line-up.
Protect the Private Consumer
The United States government is probably the greatest ultimate consumer in the world; certainly the greatest in this hemisphere. The purchases made by the government include every article that has been purchased by any private consumer. Because it is a purchaser of such wide and varied articles, ranging from pins to battleships, the government is naturally open to all standards of equipment. The American public, the private consumer, is open to the same range—but the government has a Bureau of Standards which conducts great testing laboratories to protect its purchases.
The Bureau of Standards has an operating cost of about two million dollars annually, yet it is estimated that it saves the government approximately one hundred million dollars a year-a return of 50 times the investment. And the government gets the best possible equipment for the least cost. Such a system is what the private consumer in America needs.
The use of chemical names and medicines in advertisements often aids in selling an article. This is true not because the medicine or chemical included in the mixture is of great importance, but only because the consumer believes it is.
The great advertising campaigns by manufacturers, producers, and wholesalers have driven the public into a fog. Every article advertised is noted as the "best" in its field. Knowing that they all can't be "best" the consumer cannot believe any of them; the result is near-chaos.
An example is Listerine. We have been told often that it guards our throat and nasal passages, sweetens our breath, and aids in checking dandruff. Listerine sells for approximately one dollar a bottle. Yet the Journal of the American Medical Association, in 1925, identified Listerine as Thymol, plus small quantities of boric and benzoic acid, and said that fifteen dollars worth of Listerine equaled one cent's worth of carbolic acid.
This is only one example in a small field of consumer's purchases. Yet it indicates strikingly the need for some method of protecting the consumer. There is not a field of purchases, advertised by private business concerns, that does not consider the unsuspecting consumer to make the producer's profits. A Bureau of Standards for the private consumer, which includes every person in the country, would clear the clouds produced by advertising and super-salesmen, and would protect the buyer.

Rock Chalk Talk
BETTY WEST
Curious Chi Omega's are wondering who the lonesome little man was who serenaded them so sweetly at 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning. He gave them an intrepid interpretation of Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" on a rusty, trusty flute.
It takes a man to raise money by devious and sneaking ways. Three of the Rock Chalk Coop's more ingenious lads, John Conard, Orville Kreier, and Greg Studer, are having repair bill trouble. They own a Model A Ford named Elmer, which has developed a strange malady. It refuses to go any way but backward. To repair this misadjustment is going to cost them around $12.
The thought of taking $12 out of their collective pockets for fixing Elmer's insides, is repulsive, repugnant, and real nasty to all of them. So they have started an Elmer fund to do the job for them. They managed to raise about $4 in the Rock Chalk Coop, but for the residue they have had to worm their way into various women's houses with promises of cokes, rides, and other sorts of wicked pleasure. To date the fund is reported growing rapidly.
The Phi Psi's have a custom they call "bumping." It consists in auctioning off all of their upstairs furniture twice a year, according to seniority. Yesterday morning the "bumping" was supposed to end sharply at twelve. At 11:29 Jules MacKallor discovered, to his horror, that he was missing a desk. Rushing upstairs to Frank Sims' room, he discovered one just the size he had been looking for all his life. His seniority happens to .5 of a point higher than Frank's. MacKallor, drawing up to his full height, demanded the desk. Sims adopted a negative attitude about the matter. MacKallor resorted to force. For thirty-one minutes each of them tugged at one end of the desk. Finally came 12 o'clock, and Sims came out victorious, since even Mackallor's .5 of a point of seniority couldn't help him after 12 o'clock.
Sigma Nu Joe Brown, new pledge trainer for second semester, had the 19 Sigma Nu pledges out on the rock pile this morning, their chains clanking in the early morning stillness. Joe, it seems, has a yen to line the Sigma Nu cinder path with hand hewn rock. What the pledges now want is a new penal code.
Hatters Ready for "Duration Advice on Hat Care
This article, which is about hats, probably will not appeal to many campus folk. Not that any of the other articles which appear in this little corner do, but the topic of men's hats is virtually passe.
Most male animals roam the campus sans chapeau, regardless of weather or relative humidity, with the rain building up little flood plains or the snow forming glacial drifts on their weather-beaten craniums. Some wear hats of a material obviously gathered by raking the yard, and which gives one the appearance of having walked underneath a tree when a bird's nest fell down.
All of which is water under the darn (we must be careful on a student paper). There are still a few of the old guard who wear the conventional felt hat, and who are worried as to whether the wartime rationing system will $ ^{\circledast} $
have any effect on the further manufacture of their headgear.
Hat Style Council, a national association of hat manufacturers, announce that hats will continue to be smart and varied in style despite threatened shortages in some materials. They urge people to take care of their hats just in case, and offer the following ten-point program for preserving the chapeaux:
1. Keep the hat free from dust.
If it is dusty, a drop of water will make a mud spot that will soak into the fur and be hard to remove.
2. Brush the hat regularly with a soft bristle hat brush, always brushing gently with the nap, not against it.
3. When you put on a hat, grasp the brim fore and aft. Putting it on by the side brims is bad for its style lines.
4. If you are going to lay the hat aside for some time, pust out the crown, turn up the brim, and put it away in a hat box. Don't let hat check girls pile your hat up with other hats. The sweat band of the upper hat, will stain the crown of yours.
5. If your hat gets rain-soaked, heat, and see that it is not pushed
out of shape while drying. Unsnap dry it slowly, away from artificial the brim, push out all the dents, let it dry slowly, then brush it with the nap, and reshape it.
6. Turning out the leather sweatband after a hot day preserves the life of the hat. This allows the perspiration and hair oil to evaporate and dry out, instead of being transferred to the hat.
7. When a derby is put away for any length of time, always stand it on its side on the brim and crown, never upside down, never flat on the brim.
8. Straw hats should be brushed too. Use a soft brush for the smooth weaves, an ordinary whisk broom for the rougher jobs. If you get caught in the rain with a straw hat on, unsnap the brim and see that the hat is properly shaped while drying.
9. Keep a high silk hat in its box when not in use. Never leave it standing on the brim, as it will settle and lose its shape. Turn it upside down and rest it on the flat-topped crown.
10. Never put a folding opera hat away collapsed, as this weakens the springs and wrinkles the fabric.

Cossey had proved a real source of joy to Ralph Higgins, track coach at Stillwater, this year. In spring trials, which opened recently, Cossey leaped 47 feet, 6 inches in a practice hop-step-jump. The best first day at the Norman school, Cossey high jumped 6 feet 2 inches without exerting himself.
When Cossey reached the University campus he seemed to be in another mood. "I've been ready to make this change for months," he declared and then added, "You can't realize just how bad that place is. It stinks." Sooner Officials Are Mum
The case at present is in a stalemate. Oklahoma officials are extremely desirous of keeping the affair quiet as a result of a similar situation which arose five weeks ago and brought about the disbarment of Gerald Tucker, sophomore basketball ace, from intercollegiate competition until last night's Big Six game between Oklahoma and Missouri.
Aggie officials are remaining silent until Iba returns with the basketball squad and investigates the matter further.

Keeler Appointed Safety Coordinator
Guy V. Keeler, director of the engineerering science management defense training program at the University, has been appointed coordinator for educational class work for safety engineering in Kansas and Missouri, except St. Louis, Chancellor Deane W. Malott anounced yesterday. The appointment was made by the National Safety Council, whose headquarters are in Chicago.
Chambers to Play At First Midweek
In his new post, Keeler will supervise the setting up of classes in safety engineering throughout this area in connection with the ESMDT program. Already classes have either been established or have received final approval for organization, in Lawrence, Hutchinson, Wichita both Kansas City's, Coffeyville and Pittsburg. Others are scheduled to be opened later at various points throughout the two-state district.
The first Scotch Varsity of the semester yill feature the music of of Russ Chambers and his band Wednesday night in the Memorial Union ballroom.
The same regulations as in other midweek varsities will be in effect, a 200 stag limit, a ten-cent admission charge for each stag, and free admission to the dated men. Goody!
Hardman Is Dismissed From Watkins Hospital

Paul Hardman, sophomore engineer, was dismissed yesterday from Watkins hospital, after treatment for minor facial injuries received in an auto accident near Tonganoxie Tuesday night. Hardman and several companions were returning from Kansas City, where they had gone to confer with Navy officials, when the car skidded. Hardman's companions were uninjured.

Three High Scorers
Bright spot on this year's Creighion record is the Jay's crushing 59-45 victory over the elite Great Lakes Naval Training team Wednesday night. In that game Ralph Langer, Gene Haldeman, and Beisser, tied for scoring honors for the Bluejays with 16 points apiece. Haldeman, guard and captain, is a strong defensive player and dead-eye on long shots.
Langer displays a good, but unorthodox, basket eye. He is a junior and last season won his letter playing all three positions on the team. Only starting sophomore for the Jays is Joseph Loiseal at forward. His scoring punch and clever floor work have placed him on first team. Don Shearn, a senior forward, has seen much action this season. He is aggressive and has the experience to make him a valuable player.
IOWA STATE IDEA—
(continued from page five) the Physical Education Department for men, and approximately 18 men are given the opportunity to live in West Stadium. These men come well recommended, Kerr said.
No scholarships or free tuitions are included in the scheme. They work for their room.
Baseball players help keep up the football field during the fall and the football players keep the baseball field and track in condition.
Until a year ago, this entire plan did not work satisfactorily, according to Kerr and his associates. The men were asked to give suggestions
on how to make the project more successful.
"They told us to be more strict," Kerr said.
Now the men must observe study hours from 7:30 until 10:30 p.m. every night except Saturday, according to their own ruling. Having to present reasons for leaving town on weekends keeps the men on the campus. Penalties, such as washing windows for an afternoon, are imposed on those who find it difficult to observe the regulations.
Under these rules the men have a better chance to become eligible the following fall in their particular activity, Kerr stated. Tutors are called in during midquarter and fl-

Closets, beds, and dressers are located in the dormitory upstairs. One article found on nearly every dresser is a woman's picture.
A party is given in the lounge on the average of once a quarter, according to Kerr. The only time women are seen here is during one of these parties.
Kerr, who lives with the men, was the high school coach of Tom Harmon, former All-American halfback from the University of Michigan. Kerr, who was a member of Phi Delta Theta while attending Michigan, has the tattered jersey Harmon wore in his last intercollegiate game.

Other stories and pictures in this third issue concern the engineering fraternities, Fine Arts organizations, and the medical school in Kansas City.

The second selective service registration in Douglas county was completed yesterday evening by 9 p.m., and reports of the registration were sent in to the state director of selective service this morning.
1,874 Register As Draft Calls New Age Group
"No person had to wait at all. The registrants were taken care of immediately upon presenting themselves at the Armory. We had wonderful cooperation from the University, Haskell, the Lawrence high school, and other voluntary workers, for which we are very grateful." commented Bruce Cameron, chairman of the Lawrence draft board.
The total number of registrants came to 1,874. Of these, 483 persons registered over Saturday and Sunday. As yet no tabulation has
The 16 per cent drop from last semester's enrollment still leaves the classes 128 ahead of the enrollment of last spring.
Enrollment in the R.O.T.C. classes for the spring term is 590 This is the second largest enrollment the Hill unit has ever had the high being 706 last semester.
University students may obtain their grades for the fall semester this week at the registrar's office, James K. Hitt, assistant registrar has announced. The schedules have been posted on bulletin boards since Monday.
R.O.T.C. Enrollment Drops This Semester
The following schedule of names will be observed in releasing the grades: tomorrow, N to S inclusive; Thursday, T to Z inclusive.

There are over 400 students in the basic training course.
The advanced course quota is filled. Students who complete this advanced training will be commissioned in the U.S Army Reserve Corps as sec ond lieutenants.
From information on file, officers find that 15 to 20 per cent of the students in R.O.T.C. have come to the University to prepare for becoming officers, or to gain military background so their advancement will be faster when they are drafted into the Army.
More than six former University R.O.T.C. members are now serving at Corregidor and approximately 40 are serving in Hawaii.
Iowa State Slaughter Repeats Husker Episode
BY CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
☆ ☆ ☆
DAN
"Same story, second verse" might well be the tale of the little fiasco which was held in Hoch auditorium last night before 3.158 fans as the Kansas Jayhawkers gave a repeat performance of their Saturday night Nebraska slaughter by breezing past the Iowa State Cyclones, 60 to 44, in a contest which never saw Iowa State in the lead or even tied with the Kansans for a single moment.
The victory, which maintained Kansas' position at the top of the Big Six ladder with Oklahoma, was a sweet one indeed, for it gained complete revenge for the 4-point loss by which Iowa State gave Kansas its only blot in conference competition
CHARLES BLACK
Ask R.O.T.C.
Students
To Register
Col. James Dusenbury requests that all advanced students in R.O.T C. register at the draft board in Lawrence immediately.
Because every man between the ages of 20 and 45 may be challenged by authorities to show his registration card, Col. usenbury said that having a registr. ion card will eliminate misunderstanding if any advanced student . questioned.
The Women's Rifle club will hold a meeting for members and any other women interested in shooting at 7:30 tonight in Fowler shops.
Advanced R.O.T.C. students are not required by law to register, Dusenbury said.
Rifle Club Meets
It also knocked the Cyclones out of the remotest possibility of retaining even their cochampionship of the Big Six and resolved the title race into a two-team duel between the Sooners and the Jayhawkers with all eyes and emphasis pointing to the game at Norman, Feb. 27, between these top two teams.
Miller also had the Iowa State game to look back at because that was the last regularly scheduled game, which excludes the Great Lakes affair, in which he had been held below 12 points. In the six games since then he had scored 12, 15, 13, 30, 14, and 24 points. Including last night's game in which he tallied 11 field goals and four free throws for 26 points, Miller has an average of 19.1 points for his last seven regularly scheduled performances.
'Cappy' Stars
Rudolfson Guarded Heavily
Once again it was Ralph "Cappy" Miller who led the Jayhawks to victory but he had mighty able assistance from Charlie Black who returned to his early season form by dumping in eight field goals and one free throw for 17 points. His performance last night was reminiscent of his first three games when he tallied 25, 9, and 17 points to hold a 17-point average when he met the Cyclones at Ames and was held to 7 points.
Defensive stars of the night were Ray Evans and Charlie Black. Evans guarded Al Budolfson, Iowa State's high-powered forward and highest total point maker in the conference until last night, for the entire game. Of the four goals which Budolfson scored only one was scored on set plays. His second goal was fired five seconds before the first half ended on a long mid-court shot and his final goal was made in the same manner just 15 seconds before the final gun. The Cyclone forward's third goal was on a tip-in when both teams were jammed around the basket.
Black blocked shot after shot with his tentacle-like arms and with Evans gained two-thirds of the Kansas rebounds. Black fired Carol Schneider, Cyclone guard who held him down at Ames, out of position

Jayhawks Meet Jays Tonight
Contest Offers Movie Passes
If you are in the mood to dash off an essay between now and Friday, you may win for yourself 10 tickets to the Jayhawker theater, good any time.
The Daily Kansan is sponsoring a contest of essays on the subject, "Custer's Last Stand." Entries must be 300 words or less long. Contest blanks may be secured in either the newsroom or the news bureau in the journalism building tomorrow.
Entries will be due in the K.U.
news bureau by 4:30 p.m. Friday.
First prize in the essay competition will be 10 theater tickets; second prize, 8 tickets; third prize, 6 tickets.
Consideration of the famous horse, Comanche, the only survivor of the battle of the Little Big Horn, and now mounted in Dyche museum, has been suggested as one point with which essays might deal.
In addition, Haskell Institute is sponsoring a Custer essay contest,
with the deadline for entries also set for Friday. After both contests have been decided, the winning papers from both schools will be published in the Kansan as a comparison of the points of view of the red man and the white man with regard to a battle in which their ancestors fought against each other.
The title of the essay may be chosen by the contestant, but the subject matter must be the battle of the Little Big Horn.
M.S.C. Appoints Board for Hill War Activities
A committee to investigate the possibilities of greater student participation in defense activities at the University was organized at the meeting of the Men's Student Council in the Fine room of the Memorial Union building last night.
The four-man group, appointed by Dave Watermulder, president of the Council, is composed of Orville Wright, chairman, Joe Stryker, Eldon Beebe, and Verlyn Norris, all M.S.C. members. These four will meet with Chancellor Deane W. Malott in the near future, Watermulder said.
The purpose of the committee is to bring about a condition of greater student management and participation in the many activities on the Hill brought about by the present emergency. The need for such participation has been expressed by the Chancellor. The title of the board is, The War-defense committee.
The student group will also cooperate with T. C. Ryther, director of the University of Kansas Press and University Conservation chairman, in his drive to save electricity, gas, and paper on the Hill.
This council also discussed the possibility of publishing a University song book. The matter was held over for further consideration at the next meeting, Feb. 23. The last song book was published in 1928.
Miss Lois Katherine Seyboke, graduate of the bacteriology department in 1938, has accepted a position as medical technologist at Ft. Sill, Okla. She will be working under the supervision of Colonel William H. Bailey, son of the former professor after whom Bailey Chemical laboratories was named.

An Inter-Organization sing among women's houses and sponsored by the W.S.G.A. was formerly an annual event, but was discontinued some years ago. The Union Activities board hopes that the sing organized this year will start a Mt. Oread tradition.
Contestants may file entries by calling the Union Activities office, or Don Keplinger, chairman of the committee in charge.
Decrease in Enrollment Less Than Feared---Malott
An approximately 9 per cent decrease is seen in the University enrollment this spring semester as compared with the enrollment of the spring semester a year ago, figures revealed today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott indicate.
The total number of students enrolled this semester is 3,657. The enrollment for the same semester a year ago was 4,029. This means a loss of 372 stu- $ ^{ \textcircled{*} } $
Total enrollment for the fall semester of the school year 1941-42, as announced last September, was 4,031. This figure represents an 8 per cent decrease from the enrollment total of the year previous to that, which opened in September, 1940.
Pi Lambda Theta, honorary educational sorority, will hold a business meeting at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in room 115, Fraser hall. Miss Ruth Litchen, social studies superintendent at the University High School, is president of the organization.

Creighton Is Slight Favorite Over K.U.
BY CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
An up-and-down Creighton Bluejay squad will be the target of an equally turbulent Kansas Jayhawker team tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Hoch auditorium when these two teams clash.
BOB JOHNSON

Both Creighton and Kansas have powerful quintets this year but both are inclined to be slip-shod in their consistency as to winning games. The Bluejays have won 11 of 14 games and
Marine Commissions Open to Students
Lieutenant Paul E. Smith, United States Marine Corps Reserve, will be in room 225. Frank Strong hall Wednesday afternoon to interview students interested in entering the Marine corps and working to obtain a commission.
In this branch of the Marines, the student after enlisting will be sent back to college to finish his education. This service is comparable to that offered by the Navy under V-7 with one exception; the Marine corps has allowed the University of Kansas a quota. This quota limits the enlistment of students to 12 seniors, 8 juniors, and 2 sophomores.
Students interested, and those who will not be able to see Lieutenant Smith tomorrow can leave their names at the Registrar's office, and they will be notified when the interviewing officer returns. Mr. Hitt will also make appointments for students who leave their names, and urges all those interested to take advantage of this opportunity.
the Kansan's have dropped 2 of 11.
Two of the games played by the schools have produced common foes. Denver University opened the season for both teams when they were on their road trip during the middle of December. Creighton romped to an easy win by the tune of 43 to 15. Denver had a young, green team and looked very poor. They played three games however before they
Starting line - ups for tonight's game with thumbnail sketches on the players of each quintet will be found at the top of page 5.

bit Kansas and it proved to be a real battle. The Jayhawkers won the game, 36 to 35, in the last minute of play as Charlie Black intercepted a pass and dribbled down the court for a set-up. Townsend Larke
On the basis of this game the Bluejays rate a 26-point favorite over the Red and Blue cagers. The next game providing a direct correlation is that with the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. At Omaha the Navy lads suffered their third and most decisive defeat out of 22 games when they were trounced 59 to 45.
All these scores merely serve to remind that nothing is so certain in basketball except the fact that nothing is certain. Both of these clubs are undoubtedly capable of defeating any club in the nation providing their offense and defense were clicking to perfection on the nights they played.
One game however does present Phog Allen a ray of hope. That tilt was the one with DePaul where the Jayhawks lambasted the Demons, 46 to 26. Previous to this DePaul had beaten Long Island 44 to 43 which team in turn had downed Creighton, 40 to 35. Taking these scores as a comparison, the Jayhawkers find themselves 26 points better than Creighton.
Outcome a Toss-up
The same situation holds true tonight. Either team can win, either in a tight, high-scoring game or a

When Age of 'Man' Passes Girls Dig for Dates
Weep for joy, you youngsters (fellows under 20 years of age) and you guys with physical defects—prepare to take over the "jobs" we "men" leave behind—namely, the dating of the Hill women.
And girls, prepare yourselves—it's going to be awful!
Stalwarts, handsome ones, beautiful profiles, big chests, and athletic sweaters full of bulging muscles will soon become a thing of the past. The kids with the peach-skin faces, the changing voices, the sunken chests,
and the rosy cheeks will take over the masculine half of campus society.
The finis will be signed to the thrilling intramural contests of brawn an muscle—ping pong and tag games will take their stead. Everyone will take up knitting—thrilling dates will be spent over glasses of milk, both parties knitting away on socks for the "man" in the service.
Memories of Man Cherished
No doubt there will be erected in front of Frank Strong hall a lifesized statue (just so all the femmes won't forget) of the former "man" of the campus—the stimulator of cardiac action who 'used to roam.'
The physically unfit fellows too will have a fractional part in the campus social whirl. At times men with only minor physical defects turn out to be a better date-deal than the ordeal of going with an adolescent. For instance, if a pleasant fellow had only two toes on his left foot, but still possessed a nice chest and a fair profile, he wouldn't be such a bad deal (as deals will probably be going).
Classification of Dates
The democratic way for the young ladies on the Hill to run things will be for them to hold a registration of all the enrolled males, then a classified list be drawn up. The fellow with the two toes might be labeled as 1-A, the 16-year-old freshman could be put in the 1-B division, and so on. Then the co-ed would be allotted a certain number of 1-A dates, 1-B dates, and 1-C
dates for the year when she enrolls or pays her fees. The W.S.G.A. could work up this program.
Or perhaps the women could hold a lottery before each social function and raffle off the available men (or faesimiles) of the campus. By this method some girls would win while some would lose horribly, but life's like that now.
Men Rationed
Commercialism might enter the picture and the men set a price on their own heads—thus renting themselves out by the hour. The rate per date would be set by the male's amount of self-esteem and the economic curves of supply and demand.
There's not much doubt that the social future of the campus female is being tossed out of the window.
Now, for one of the rare times in the history of the University, the real importance of the "man" will be given its justice—his true value will be brought to light and his high place in the life of the campus will undoubtedly be observed and missed but, sadly, too late.
Quack Club In Swim Exhibit
Quack Club, girls' honorary swimming organization, will have charge of the Women's Athletic Association meeting at 4:30 p.m. next Thursday.
The club will put on several swimming exhibitions including a duet by Betty Allen and Lo Smith, president of the club, and a solo by Lo Smith.

Beatrice Whitney Straight, who has studied in England, France, and New York, plays the part of Viola. The part of Sir Toby Belch is played by Ford Rainey, who has toured the Pacific coast states as a member of the American Repertory company and appeared in the New York production of "Infernal Machine."
Sebastian is portrayed by Ronald Bennett, actor in New York professional plays. John Flynn, supporting actor in "The Constant Wife" with Ethel Barrymore, will take the part of Orsino.
Chekhov, a nephew of the playwright, Anton Chekhov, was a member of the Moscow art theater and then became director of the Second Moscow art theater when it was established in 1923. He left Russia to work with a noted Hebrew-language group, the Halinina players. In 1935 he toured America and in 1938 established his studio theater in Connecticut.
Branding of Tires Urged by Sheriff To Thwart 'Rustlers'
Dodge City, Kan.—(UP)—Sheriff Harry Brown of Dodge City believes that automobile tires should be branded so that every motorist can identify his tires if they are stolen.
He suggests that the brand be placed on the tires when they are retreaded.
If some plan can be worked out, Brown says he will organize a vigilante society to register the brands and track down the tire "rustlers."
The production company director strives for a balanced performance with no character shadowing another in importance. He is opposed to the "star system" in which a featured player dominates a supporting cast
The ticket office in Green hall will not be open before the production of the play as no seats will be reserved. Holders of activity tickets and season tickets will be admitted upon presentation of the ticket at the door. Single admissions will go on sale at the ticket office in Hoch auditorium the night of the play.

KNOW YOUR MEMORIAL UNION BUILDING
JAMES C. ROBINSON
The Memorial Union building was erected in memory of the 129 students and alumni of the University of Kansas who gave their lives in service in the First World War, as the bronze tablet by its east door relates, the building has enjoyed no more colorful a history in the last 15 years than was experienced preceding the founding. Men fresh from the First World War, other enthusiastic students, alumni, faculty members, townspeople, and friends of the University staged rallies, wore tags, offered prizes, wrote slogans—but raised the money for construction of the Union, in pledge form and otherwise. Students themselves pledged an average of $53 per man. Kansas spirit was crystallized in tangible form with the dedication of the Memorial Union building in October of 1927.
Today, almost every form of student activity finds an outlet in the multi-farious facilities that comprise the complete Union. When you buy your student activity book, you are helping to support the Union, you become a member of the Union. The lounging rooms and their literature and comforts are yours to enjoy. The recreation rooms and their equipment await your pleasure.

Hill Concentrates On Creighton Game
Students who love the life social, and grinds who retire early with a good textbook, will both turn from familiar practices tonight to see their basketball heroes take on a fast five from Creighton.
Little else is ahead for the riders of the social bandwagon. After a particularly wearying weekend of parties, dinners, bivouacs, and other media of multiple and/or by-the-couple recreation, Hill-ites will probably scream themselves croaky over the torrent tonight, then settle.

Sportin' Around by Chuck Elliott
Kansas is over the hump! At least they have maintained their position in the conference and now have a short breathing spell before coming face to face with those Oklahoma "Tucker is Back" Sooners. And that's something to look forward to. Harold Keith, publicity director for the Oklahoma school, has declared that the game is nearly a sell-out at this time and the few seats left are going fast.
--several times and dribbed in for easy set-ups.
The next good point for Oklahoma was the playing of Bob McCurdy, another sophomore. According to press dispatches he guarded Held all evening and prevented him from scoring a field goal and just one free throw. It might have been done by McCurdy alone but that is doubtful. Held seems too tall for the six-foot Oklahoma to fool all evening. And then when the boxscore shows that both Tucker and Held went out of the game on fouls with Tucker receiving six chances at the free throw line, it looks as if Held had his hand in guarding Tucker and vice versa. But this column can't vouch for the above because there was a game on the local campus last night that proved much more interesting.
HOW ABOUT THOSE SOONERS?
But Oklahoma also kept pace last night by downing Nebraska 37 to 29. Looking at the game just from a box-score angle it appears that Oklahoma has only one or two good things worthy of note from that game. First of all and undoubtedly most important is the scoring that Gerald Tucker did. He made 17 points last night, which coupled with his 18 points against Missouri, gives him a 17.5 average to lead the conference. There is no doubting that he is a great player and this average substantiates it. Furthermore, when a person considers that Tucker is the type of player that will never shoot when a teammate is open or has a better shot, it is all the more remarkable. Add to this his ability at rebounding and feeding passes to his teammates and you have a pretty handy fellow to have around.
When the shot chart was recounted for the Oklahoma-Nebraska game it showed that the Cornhuskers made only 10 out of 74 shots for a percentage of 13.5. Comparing Nebraska's showing against Kansas Saturday night, the Huskers must have been even worse last night. Against the Jayhawkers the Nebraskans shot 56 times and made 10 for a percentage of 17.8.
Then when you look at the winning team's percentage of shots it shows that Kansas made 24 baskets out of 90 attempts for a mark of 26.7 per cent. Oklahoma made 15 out of 44 chances for a percentage of 34 per cent.
These charts would indicate that Nebraska controlled the ball most of the game last night. Therefore Oklahoma couldn't have looked too flashy. And with Nebraska hitting even a poorer percentage of its shots last night than against Kansas, the Sooners are put to shame for their failure to build up a bigger margin of victory than eight points. And on their home court after Nebraska had played here two night before, tsk, tsk.
JOHNNY GLENN: A REAL KANSAS FOLLOWER
Probably the most interested spectator at the two games over the weekend was Johnny Glenn, wholesale coal and ice distributor and formerly connected with the athletic department at Northwestern University, who was visiting Coach "Phog" Allen and "his boy," John Buescher. Both Glenn and Buescher are from Beardstown, Ill.
After watching the two games Glenn was of the opinion that this year's Jayhawker team was much better than the 1940 team which went to the finals of the N.C.A.A. tournament against Indiana University in Kansas City. And Glenn should be in a fairly good position to know for he has been following Allen's team since 1934 and has never seen them lose a regularly scheduled game. The lone defeat that he has seen was in the post-season N.C.A.A. affair when Indiana triumphed.
"This year's team has more potentialities, both scoring and defense, than any of the teams I've seen play for "Phog." The only thing that might hold them back is their attitude. Right now it is perfect and I only hope it remains that way. It should by all means but if they do happen to get over-confident and too cocky they will be just like all teams and lose their golden opportunity."
Although Illinois is leading the Big Ten race at the present time and are his home-state club Glenn doesn't expect them to go too far. "Never in the history of the Big Ten," he said, "has a sophomore club such as Illinois is this year gone very far. Of course, their lead at the present time will probably give them the Big Ten title but I expect them to crack before they go very far along in the N.C.A.A. play-offs."
Glenn said that Kansas gained a great deal of prestige on that midsemester tour. Especially when they beat Iowa, he said. Iowa has got a good team and has been losing most of its games by just one or two points. The DePaul walkaway was another impressive point that went well with Eastern fans.
"It's a tough place," he said, "to play at Bloomington. The moment you walk onto the court the crowd is on you and they never let up. The same situation holds true, more or less, at Ohio State where they have four big furnaces at each corner of the court which handicap the players no end."
Besides thinking that Illinois will lose one or two games before long, Glenn thinks that Indiana and Minnesota are the best teams in the Western Conference with Indiana holding the edge. Indiana has lost only one game at home since 1937 and that was to Wisconsin.
One of the main reasons why Illinois beat Wisconsin at Madison this year the fact that three of the Badgers were sick and not because the Illini were that much better. Players in the East all look older than these fellows around here, he thought. Finally he concluded that not only did they look older but that they actually were older.
Women's Basketball Title in Robinson Theta vs. Corbin Tonight
BY SHIRLEY HENRY
The basketball championship of women's organized houses will be decided tonight at 9:00 in Robinson gymnasium when Kappa Alpha Theta will meet Corbin Hall. The winner will play the I.W.W. team next week for the title of all-University championship.
Thus far Mildred Wells has been the outstanding player on Corbin's team. Tall and a good ball-handler, she is noted for her scoring record as well as her excellent floor work. Also
Alta Bingham, at guard, has shown good defensive work. Teamed up with Wells and Bingham, are Marguerite Demint, Phyllis Struble, and June Cochren.
On Theta's team, Peggy Davis is outstanding for her good all-around playing, including floor play, ball handling, and scoring ability. She is backed up by Betty Roberts and Eileen Miller as forwards with Dorothy Fizzell, Nancy Donovan, and Marty Green showing a strong defense.
Both Corbin Hall and Theta have excellent teams, neither having been defeated. A cup will be awarded the winner.
Theta's have won four games, over Alpha Chi (30-16), Chi Omega (35 to 16), Watkins Hall (12 to 9), and Pi Phi's (16 to 6).
Corbin, also winning four games, defeated the Delta Gamma's 32 to 17, the Gamma Phi's 19 to 10, the Alpha Delta Pi's 37 to 11, and the Kappa's 22 to 12.

Buescher Passing Excels
Budolson broke the ice for the northerners with a set shot and Rollin Kuebler, the high-scoring surprise package of the Cyclones, followed with a tip-in to put the Iowans the closest they ever were to the Kansans.
Johnny Buescher, who played a marvelous floor game the last half and who is 60 per cent responsible for the Kansas scoring power by his uncanny ability to pass the ball safely to the forwards, started the scoring off with a free throw with two minutes gone. Miller popped in two goals and Kansas led 5 to 0 with six minutes played. Iowa State had taken nine shots, missing all of them.
Miller took a pass from Black for a set-up and the latter followed with a one-handed post shot for another

Black hit a one-hander from the side before T. P. Hunter fouled Schneider who made one out of two and then Kuebler fouled Hunter who likewise made one out of two. At the 15-minute mark it was 17 to 9 as Schneider hit a one-hander from the corner. George Harville connected for a point on Black's foul and Red Hayes made a setup to put Iowa State within three points, 17 to 14, with two and one-half minutes left.
Black dropped a one-hander and Hunter made a long set shot 10 seconds before the gun. Budolfson followed five seconds later with the final bucket of the half, score being 21 to 16, Kansas.
The second half was an entirely different matter. Although Kansas led

Miller dunked in a free throw just before Schneider scored on a tip-in. With the score now 22 to 18 the Kansans started rolling. Black on a tip-in, Buescher on a free throw, Evans on a gift shot, and Evans on a back overhead shot after a bounce pass from Miller was the way the scoring ran for the next minute and a half.
Black came back with a delayed one-handed set-up but Schneider countered with a hook shot. Evans drove in for a set-up after taking Miller's pass, Buescher came through on a delayed set-up, and Miller popped in a one-hander closeby. 36 to 22, Kansas, with seven minutes played.

Opportunity Knocks Airline Needs Hostesses
Girls! if you aren't too fat, aren't too tall, aren't too skinny, aren't too illiterate, and are a pretty nice girl, chances are you would make a good airline hostess.
Up In The Sky
The office of Miss Elizabeth Meiar, adviser to women, has received a series of application blanks from Braniff Airlines for young women who might be interested in the employment.
The prospective hostess must be able to speak Spanish fluently, be from 21 to 26 years of age, have at
least two years of college, be not over 5 feet, 4 inches or under 5 feet 2 inches in height and not too chubby, must be unmarried, have a character of good repute, and must be able to meet certain other character and personality requirements.
The training of the Braniff Airlines hostess covers a peril of six weeks, during which time she is allowed $2.50 per day for expenses.
Sleepy Soldier Uses Phonograph For Reveille
Girls interested in filling out applications for the training should consult Miss Miller in room 220, Frank强 hall.
Fort Sheridan, Ill—(UP)—Private Wright D. Jackson, 22, who awakened himself every morning with a pep talk, began looking for a new phonograph today. Minus his pep talk, Jackson fell back upon sleepy ways yesterday. He slept through reveille, missed breakfast and barely arrived for roll-call on time.
Jackson's six month's service in the Army Medical Division includes many breakfast-less days. He became convinced last week that the bugler wasn't born who could blow revelie loud enough to wake him.
He hit upon a solution when he spied a phonograph recording machine at the Highwood Salvation Army-United Service Organization center. The results for one week, Jackson said, were "astounding."
When Reveille sounded at 5:45 a.m. his buddies awoke and began to dress. Jackson, as usual, slept on. Sgt. B. G. Griswold set a record on the portable phonograph alongside Jackson's cot.
Jackson Argues With Himself "Come on Jackson," shrilled Jackson's own voice from the record. "Get up." Then, after a two second pause. "The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day at Fort Sheridan." Jackson began to stir. "C'mon out of that personal blackout you're having and get up."
Films of Bird Life Shown Here Friday
Olin Sewall Pettingill, Jr., nationally known ornithologist and wildlife photographer for Carleton College in Northfield, Minn., will show two sets of natural color motion pictures on bird life here Friday.
The first film, "Bird Magic in Mexico," will be shown in Frank Strong auditorium at 4 p.m. Friday. This film on the rare birds of Mexico is the pictorial record of the Cornell University-Carleton College expedition to the hill country of southwestern Tamaulipas.
The second moving picture will be entitled "Birds that Haunt the Waterways." This film will be shown under the auspices of Phi Sigma, honorary biological society, at 8 p.m. in Foch auditorium.
Students Register Now For Teaching Jobs
Students who are planning to teach after this semester and who wish placement through the University teachers appointment bureau should register with the office as soon as possible. The bureau is already receiving requests for teachers from various schools within the state.
Both programs are sponsored by the University and are open to the general public without charge.
The teachers appointment bureau office is room 121, Frank Strong.
A yawn and some stretching of arms. "Now the sergeant's going to be getting impatient. You don't want him to resort to tickling your toes to get you up, do you? You don't want him to have to tell Sgt. Murr (Top Sgt. Arnold Murr) on you?
"Wouldn't you be sorry? I'll say you would!"
Pleading Replaces Arguing
Then Jackson's voice began to wheedle. "Listen Sgt. Collins (mess sergeant) has the mass hall all warm for you and he's serving hot pancakes this morning with a lot of butter on them and syrup. Umm, umm.
Doesn't that sound good to you?
You're not going to disappoint Sgt. Collins are you? And you have to get your callisthenics and drill this morning—good, healthy, bracing morning air. You don't want to miss that and you sure don't want them to miss you at roll call. You bet you don't!"
If Jackson wasn't on his feet by this time, the record had one final roar. "C'man Jackson, get outa that bed!"
The owner of the phonograph, a buddy in another outfit, took it back and Jackson began searching for another.
With that sort of encouragement, Jackson was on time for breakfast for seven days in a row—until yesterday.
Plan Words For Seven Days
"I want to keep up my good record," he said.

Casualty List Multiplies as War Spreads
New York, Feb. 11 (UP)—The number of men killed in war action during 1941 was at least three and possibly more than five times as many as in 1939-1940 combined, according to a survey of the armed forces of all belligerent nations reported by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
The increased losses—from approximately 300,000 in 1939-40 to from 1,250,000 to 1,600,000 last year—were due mainly to the Russo-German war on the Eastern front. However, it was noted that spread of hostilities to the Balkans, the Far and Near East and United States entry also boosted the number of fatalities.
In the initial phase of the war—Sept., 1939, to May, 1940—there occurred the so-called "phoney war" in which none of the embattled countries engaged in any widespread action. This was ended with the German assault upon France, Belgium and the Netherlands on May 10, 1940, but the swift collapse of resistance on the European continent again precluded high losses. False Losses Discounted
False Losses Discounted
But when the German armies attacked Russia in June, 1941, the length of the battlefront, the vast numbers engaged and the type of terrain over which the fighting took place, led to an inevitably sharp rise in casualties.
It was estimated, after discounting inflated propaganda figures, that Germany lost 300,000 to 350,000 men—perhaps even as many as 600,000 in 1941. For the same period, Russia's losses amount to about 750,000.
American and Japanese losses, of course, were small, since both were at war only the last three weeks of 1941. Japan's widespread attacks in all areas of the western Pacific caused casualties of many thousands according to the survey, although no actual figures were obtainable. This was in contrast to the scant 300 killed during Nippon's entire World War participation as one of the Allied nations.
Guerrilla Deaths Counted
American losses were equally revealing, with the 2,729 Navy deaths in the attack on Pearl Harbor more than three times World War Naval casualties of 900. Total losses were greater than those for the entire first year of the World War. British losses for 1941 were estimated at fewer than 40,000, Italy's between 30,000 and 50,000, Yugoslavia's at 10,000 in the initial German invasion and many more thousands through additional guerrilla fighting. Rumania admitted 20,000 killed up to Oct. 1, 1941, with total losses probably twice that figure. Finland lost at least 20,000 men in her second war against Russia, while France, Hungary, Bulgaria and Iraq lost small numbers.

UNION
PACIFIC
America says "keep'em flying." But to keep 'em flying we must keep 'em rolling-on the rails. Materials, thousands of carloads, for planes, tanks and guns must be rushed to production and assembly plants. Completed armament also must be transported.
Union Pacific is powered to do the job. Twenty "Big Boys," largest steam locomotives ever built, have recently been added to the large fleet of other super-powered rail giants placed in service during the past five years.
Millions of dollars also have been invested in freight cars, new rails and property improvements. For defense as well as industry's normal needs, Union Pacific the Strategic Middle Route connecting East with West supplies the demand for dependable transportation.

BY DON KEOWN
For a while last night it looked as though Newman I, pride of the independents, might go down to its first intramural basketball defeat of the season. However, a last quarter spurt gave the Clubmen a narrow 35 to 31 margin over a fighting Pi Kappa Alpha outfit.
Hero of the Newman victory was Tony Coffin, one of the finest guards ever to appear on a Robinson gym court. Coffin entered the game late in the first period without benefit of a warm-up, and from then on was the whole show. The big guard rebounded brilliantly, stood $ ^{\circledcirc} $
Atwell As Pi K. A. Star
out on the defense, and contributed seven points to the Newman total.
However, scoring honors for the Newman squad went to Junius Penny, former Lawrence High flash, with 10 points, all of them coming in the first half.
It was the fine long range sharpshooting of Bill Atwell, Pi K.A. center, that was mainly responsible for the early lead of his team. At one time midway in the second quarter the fraternity boys held a lead of 20 to 10. A Newman rally cut the margin down to 20 to 16 at half-time.
"Curly" Hayden Looks Good
The Newman cagers went into the lead for the first time just before the end of the third quarter. However, the Pi K.A. squad came back in the last period to again forge ahead. With but minutes remaining Frank Heck and Coffin began pouring in the goals that provided the winning margin, as the Pi K.A. defense melted.
The first place position in Division II competition was at stake in the game.
Carruth hall maintained its fast pace in Division III play by an impressive 40 to 28 win over the Crackerjacks. Held to a 15 to 13 margin at the end of the first half, the winners began to find the basket in the last half and pulled away.
Jack Doores, Carruth forward, took scoring honors for the game with six field goals. Harold Walters led the Crackerjack attack with 11 points.
Sigma Phi Epsilon held the Kappa Eta Kappa quintet to a single field goal in the last half as they trounced the electrical engineers 41 to 10. Otto Teichgraeber and "Curly" Hayden were the Sig Ep stars, Vernon McKale was the Kappa Eta Kappa standout.
Delt's Lose Championship Hopes
The Beta Theta Pi "B" squad had little trouble downing an outclassed Delta Tau Delta "B" team 33 to 14. W.C. Hartley garnered 15 points for the winning Beta's. This game eliminated the Delta Tau's from title consideration in Division IV.
In a Division III contest the Blanks defeated the Jayhawk Coop quintet 38 to 23. Facing the Blank attack was Delmar Green with eight
field goals. Bob Wolfe contributed nine points to the Jayhawk total.
The Carruth hall "B" squad won a hard-fought game from the Tau Kappa Epsilon "B" team 30 to 21. The play of Ed Colburn was the feature of the Carruth play, while Tolbert Anthony stood out for Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Three of the four games scheduled for tonight will pit "A" teams against each other. Feature game will be the 10 o'clock contest between the evenly-matched Delta Chi and Alpha Tau Omega teams.
Volleyball Intramural Standings
The Phi Gam's are now leading in the men's intramural volleyball tournament. They boast an average of 1.000 having played and won three games. Two other teams in Division I carry a percentage of 1.000, the Faculty having won two games and the Sigma Chi's one.
Gerald Tucker Paces Sooners With17 Points
In Division I four squads have a perfect record to date. The Sig Alph's have two wins and no losses to their credit, while the Beta's, Phi Psi's, and Sig Ep's have all played and won one game.
The standings so far this season are not absolutely indicative of the teams' ability, as several have played three or four games while others have only been matched against one team.

The Huskers succeeded in breaking up the Sooners screening attack, but were not able to outscore the Oklahoma quintet. Bob McCurdy, sophomore guard for the Sooners, tied the high scoring Sidney Held up tight in a brilliant defensive exhibition. The score at half time was 17-13, only three points in the Sooners' favor. In the second half the Oklahomaans began to creep away from the Huskers, though the Nebraska squad was making a desperate attempt to gain a lead.
Although Gerald Tucker was closely guarded, he succeeded in slamming in 17 points with his deadly left hand.

MOVING ON
Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
--also undefeated, will meet the winner of the match which brings together the champions of Division I and II. This game will decide the championship of the University for women's intramural basketball.
With the arrival of Creighton on the campus it brings added talk and speculation as to which teams will participate in the regional, western eastern, and national N.C.A.A. basketball playoff next month.
Until the Bluejays lost to Oklahoma Aggies Saturday they were in the driver's seat as far as this section's representative in the western division play-offs was concerned.
That loss, however throws the spot wide open and at least four teams have good chances of winding up on top of the heap. In the Missouri Valley the teams are, of course, Creighton and Oklahoma A. and M.
Henry Iba's Aggies hold the advantage right now but it is very slight. The return game between these two schools comes off Feb. 23. This will be at Stillwater but the home-court advantage of the Aggies will be more than offset by their schedule.
On Feb. 20 the Aggies play the Jayhawkers here at Lawrence, return to Stillwater for the Monday game with Creighton, and still have to look forward to a return game with Kansas on that Wednesday night. Three extremely tough games are in store for Henry Iba and crew during those six days and he will be lucky indeed to emerge with two victories.
Creighton on the other hand does not have too hard a schedule to face. This Saturday night the Bluejays will play Loyola at Chicago and then return to play their five remaining conference games. The only toughie being with the Aggies and Hickey can point his players far enough in advance for this struggle.
The other two teams that remain in the running for this section's kingpin of the court are Oklahoma and Kansas, currently engaged in a battle-royal for the Big Six crown. At present both teams seem to have an advantage.
The Sooners, with Gerald Tucker back in the saddle, appear to have an unbeatable crew. But that may be their downfall. They look TOO good. In the Missouri game Saturday night four of the regulars scored 10 or more points and the other, Paul Heap, has an average of 7.2 for five games so he needn't be embarrassed by that at all.
Furthermore, Bruce Drake's outfit seems to be hitting on all five pegs. The absence of Tucker for five games made veterans out of the other sophomores and with his return, his enforced vacation looks like it was just what Drake needed to mold an outstanding team.
The Jayhawkers have a point in their favor, too, when the schedule is considered. The next two games are conference tilts, this Saturday and Monday with Nebraska and Iowa State, and both are home contests. Then comes a lay-off from Big Six warfare and the Oklahoma Aggies come in for their share of attention. Two games will be played with the Aggies, here on the 20th and at Stillwater on the 25th.
The windup of the Kansas schedule finds the Jayhawks going to Norman on the 27th for the game that should decide the Big Six title. On March 3 a real battle is in prospect when the Kansas State Wildcats are hosts to their neighbors up the Kaw. The finale for the Big Six season finds Missouri coming to Lawrence March 6.
Oklahoma on the other hand has four rough conference games remaining. Two of these games are home but they are with Nebraska and Kansas. Last year Nebraska was behind 20 points with 10 minutes to play and suddenly spurted to win 43 to 42 on Les Young's long one-handed push shot with less than a minute to play. It need not be divulged here just how tough the Kansas game will be. Already Oklahoma is planning on breaking her attendance record and both coaches are more or less secretly pointing for the game even at this early date.
The two out-of-town games are with Nebraska and Iowa State. The points previously stated for Nebraska hold up even better when they will be playing on their home court. As for Iowa State, it seems that their prestige has slipped somewhat in the past few weeks but they are bound to come back and it may be in the Oklahoma game.
IT'S COLORADO ALL THE WAY
Other teams in the western division are apt to be decided within the next 10 days. In the Southwest Conference the Rice Owls were the pre-season favorites but have been bumped off rather easily of late. However, they still look like one of the contenders that will be in the running at the western play-offs March 20 and 21 in Kansas City. Arkansas is the next top ranking team with Texas Christian farther back.
In the Rocky Mountain conference it started out to be a two-team race and now it is just a runaway. Frosty Cox's gang at Colorado are running undefeated in intercollegiate competition and have lost only one game all season, that to the independent Denver Legions. Kansas should feel right proud of this team in view of the fact that eight of the first ten squad members hail from Kansas. Leaders in this cause are Leason "Pete" McCloud of Newton and George Hamburg of Beloit, Wyoming, one of the contending teams last year at Kansas City, was thought to have a better team this year but has dropped three games already and seems definitely out of the race. Brigham Young is running second to Colorado.
On the West coast it was Stanford in a breeze until the past weekend when they were nipped 27 to 23 by Southern California. The Indians from Palo Alto still rate the nod however as the best on the coast.
The only thing that seems to be definite east of the Mississippi is the fact that Illinois, another one of those supposedly invincible teams, got whipped last night by Indiana, 41 to 36. The Illini led during the first 36 minutes of the game and only a fast closing rush by Branch McCracken's cager nipped the undefeated Big Ten leaders.
Phi Psi's RoutPflashes
Alpha Chi's To Victory With Wright
Bv DON KEOWN
Alpha Chi Sigma last night opened second semester intramural basketball play with its first victory of the year, defeating the Kappa Sigma quintet 38 to 23.
Feature of the chemist's attack was the fine long-range shooting of center Harold Wright, who garnered 18 points for the game. Wright received able assistance from Dick Werling and Herb Hoover, a newcomer to the Alpha Chi Sigma roster.
High point man for the losing Sigma Kappa squad, hard hit by between-semester losses, was Bob Southern with nine points.
Phi Kappa Psi set the scoring pace for the night as they massed 64 points to 15 gathered by the out-classed Pflugerville Pflashes. Bill Hodge's ten field goals were high for the winners, while John Pfitsch paced the Pflugerville attack with nine points.
A tall Newman II squad used its height well to trounce the Jayhawk Coop's 54 to 15. Don Graham, flashy forward, spearheaded the Newman attack with 19 tallies. Carroll Clawson and Harold Fields were the Jayhawk standouts.
In a class "B" contest Sigma Alpha Epsilon led all the way to defeat Delta Upsilon 42 to 17. The Kappa Sigma "B" squad forfeited to the Alpha Tau Omega second string.

The KANSAN Comments...
After Singapore—Sumatra
Now that hope for the salvation of Singapore has been blasted by an unconditional surrender, United Nations can get down to the real issue—defense of the Indies. The Japanese already are moving on Sumatra and Java. They now occupy Borneo and the Celebes. The Dutch are recognized as valiant fighters, working wonders with the scanty material they possess. They alone had the foresight to send submarines and ships out into the Pacific in time to intercept Japanese ships returning from the Pearl Harbor vicinity.
The Dutch, however, will never be able to maintain possession of the islands without reinforcements, and they must have those reinforcements soon. They have already lost rich oil and rubber supplies in Borneo and the Celebes, but the consoling factor there is the fact that they destroyed everything as they went, leaving nothing for the Japanese.
Some of the defenders of Singapore have been removed to Sumatra, but they cannot be expected to be of much assistance to the Dutch defenders. Australians will be needed at home, because if the East Indies are taken, they will provide stepping stones almost to the doorstep of Darwin in Australia. English are busy in defense of Burma and India, both of which have been attacked in the past few days. That leaves only the Americans, who must get there in time.
There has been a Japanese parachute attack on Palembang, in Sumatra, which is only 250 miles, as the crow flies, from Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies. If the Jaws are successful in their conquest of Java and Sumatra, they will have actual control of all the Southwest Pacific and the Indian Ocean. That will leave us with only Australia and New Zealand as bases in that region, and they are a discouraging distance from Japan and most of the territory which must, in time, be recovered. With Japan free to attack Australia, it will become increasingly difficult to get reinforcements to Australia, and that is one of the most important reasons why the Indies must hold out as long as it is possible.
Indications are that America has troops and material in Australia. There is little information as to the amount, but it should not be too difficult to bring it into use in the defense of the Indies, nor should it be too difficult to return it to Australia, in the event of the capitulation of the Indies. The Dutch have announced their intention of fighting to the end, and it may be a victorious end with our help.

Solemn vows held little meaning for the Idaho bride who, three hours after the ceremony, returned and asked the judge to "just cancel that." She maintained firmly that she "didn't want to get married anyhow."
No exponent of high living and the good life was the soldier in New York, who out of a salary amounting to $168, still had all but $2.45, which he spent lavishly for stamps, writing pads, and such riotous amusement.
A New York trucker, after having a wreck near a tavern, was involved in conversation with two of the patrons while the other habitues stole his load of sugar. War in all its glory.
If it isn't one thing it's another. A candy company in Chicago, able to get enough sugar, has been having severe labor trouble.

Definition of an active as given by a fraternity pledge, and heard on the Hill: "An old fool, so far up in years that he has to keep his morale up by beating those younger and more presentable than himself."
Some weeks ago, Mary Morrison sent her West Point man an epistle consisting of 52 yards of adding machine paper, well endorsed by herself and the girls in her house. After meditating the manner in typical tactical manner, he sent her this week, an even more diabolical answer. His reply was two jig saw puzzles, penned on both sides. To get his message she had to spend long hours fitting humps into bumps. One of the messages was the story of the three bears, which you may or may not recall, and the other was a personal letter. So this is what the Army does in its spare time!
Now next door to the University club resides the Baltimore Investment Co., a building with an imposing iron grilled door, muchly padlocked after the manner of such institutions.
More amusing antics by Jules MacKallor, the Phi Psi court jester. . . At the Phi Psi banquet held at the University club in Kansas City, Mo., last weekend, the little neophyte sipped too much Phi Psi ambrosia and was persuaded to go outside and sniff some cool night air.
Becoming worried about the lad, Brother Trump went outside to rescue him, and found Jules madly shaking the locked ironwork of the Baltimore Investment Co., and imploring heaven and the guardian angels of Phi Kappa Psi to unlock the University Club doors and let him back in.
Jose Blanco, of Ponce, Puerto Rico, who was enrolled here this semester as a freshman in the School of Pharmacy, is an eye-witness, or to be correct, an ear-witness of the submarine warfare being conducted by the Nazi U-boats off the Atlantic coast.
had happened until they reached New York.
Jose, who much prefers to be known as Joe, speaks good English with a slightly Latin flavor, and dresses in conservative American style. He was not quite ready for our foggy, rainy winter, however, and will have to purchase some winter clothing. In Puerto Rico, he explains, the temperature stays between 55 and 75 degrees throughout the year. Snow and fog are virtually unknown on the island, and the rainy season comes in springtime.
North American Way
The ship that brought Jose from Puerto Rico to New York picked up the crew members of the freighter Malaya who abandoned their ship when it was torpedoed off Cape Hatteras early in January. The passengers on the liner heard the explosion of the torpedoes, but were ordered to remain be decks, and did not know what $ \textcircled{2} $
The American influence is strong in Puerto Rico, says Joe. English is spoken exclusively in all the schools, beginning in the fifth grade, and is used more widely than is Spanish. American movies are popular, and reach the island before they are shown in even the larger American cities. Clark Gable and Robert Taylor are considered the best of the male stars, and for the opposite sex, Senor Blanco sums things up by saying "We love them all." While on the topic of women, Joe is pleasantly impressed with our co-eds, but submits that they are more reserved than the Latin sisters. The feminae of both countries dress pretty much the same, but the Puerto Rican girls prefer shorts to slacks, a not wholly nauseating situation.
Puerto Rican Student Gets an Earful of War
Contrary to general opinion, the Latin folk are not completely addicted to the hip-hurling type of music. American orchestras have introduced the fox trot and the jitterbug motif to Puerto Rican dancing. Jose lists the favorite dances as the bolero, rhumba, conga,
Almost everyone on the island is a baseball fanatic. Horse racing and dog racing rank high among the spectator sports, with tennis, golf and swimming popular for the participating "masses." There are miles of good sandy beach on the island, and with the continual mild weather, the people spend most of their time in the water. Old devil shark haunts the rocky reefs, in schools of 25 or 50 and Joe is grimly descriptive while describing the tiger shark's dental work. Shark fishing is an absorbing if dangerous pastime. Hunting is kept at a minimum due to the lack of wild animals, ducks and wild pigs being the foremost creatures of prey. The island abounds with small, half-tame monkeys. Blanco had one for a pet, a mischievous little fellow with a mania for entering the automobile and playing Wagnerian blasts on the horn.
and fox trot. Also on the musical side, there are two big opera houses in the country, the Teatro la Perla at Ponce, which seats 15,000, and the Teatro Municipal at San Juan, the capital, holding 12,000. Prominent artists from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and other stars often give recitals.
War Has Effect
Since World War II began, Puerto Rico has been transformed into a tight little isle. Roads specially designed for fast movement have been built, docks and harbor installations improved, and army planes circle overhead almost constantly. The draft has been in effect there, and many Puerto Rican men are serving in the armed forces. The Planes

Kansas vs Creighton Starting Lineups
CHARLES BLACK
Kansas Pos. Ht. Comment
Ralph Miller F 6 ft. 1 in. Just hitting stride, leading scorer with 11.7 average.
Charlie Black F 6 ft. 4 in. Started fast but has fallen off, watch him.
John Buescher C 6 ft. 1 in. Fanciest ball handler on team, trick shot artist.
Ray Evans G 6 ft. 1 in. Ace defense man, provides all spark to team play.
T. P. Hunter G 6 ft. 3 in. Starting first game, most valuable in clutch.
Creighton Pos. Ht. Commit.
Ralph Langer F 6 ft. 2 in. Has 12 pt. conference average and made 31 against Drake.
Joe Loisel F 6 ft. 2 in. Only regular sophomore, good scorer.
Ed Beisser C 6 ft. 6 in. All-conference with 9-point average last year.
Dick Nolan G 5 ft. 11 in. Speedy and clever, is key man on fast break.
Gene Haldeman G 6 ft. 1 in. Is cloor floor general and a passing wizard.
TIME: 7:30 p.m.
PLACE: Hoch Auditorium.
REFEREES: Ted O'Sullivan, Missouri, and Ab Hinshaw, College of Emporia.
Much will depend on these two players tonight when Kansas takes the floor against Creighton. Charlie Black started out the season in high scoring style but has slumped con- siderably in his last few games al- though he still maintains an 11.5 average for 11 games. His height will be important in combatting the tall Bluejays. T. P. Hunter will start his first game of the season tonight. He has been coming along rapidly and his ability to score when the points are needed is his greatest forte, especially on sinking free throws. His height will also be a great asset.

walk-away featuring a high lop-sided score.
Psychologically, both teams are due to rebound. In the Jayhawks last engagement they appeared to be a sorry lot. But the Great Lakes defeat did not dampen any of the team's spirit and the basket eye, which was so sadly lacking at Kansas City, has returned to many of the team members.
Coach Eddie Hickey's Creighton outfit should also be in a fighting mood tonight. Saturday night they received their first home defeat and
their first loss to any team in this section. The Oklahoma Aggies were the culprits who lashed the Blue-jays with a tight defense and won easily, 31 to 22. In that game Creighton made only seven field goals as against twenty-two baskets potted in the Great Lakes massacre.
all deadlock which exists in the records of games played between the two schools since 1922. In that year, the first season that Creighton had a basketball team, the Jayhawkers won handily, 29 to 7. In 1926 Kansas again won, this time, 31 to 29.
In that Great Lakes game, in which Creighton undoubtedly displayed her best form of the season, Coach Hickey had his players using a continual fast break with three men under the basket on offense. This same type of offense will be employed tonight by the Nebraskans as they attempt to break the three-
Creighton came through with its first win in 1929 by a score of 44 to 27. The following year saw another Bluejay win, this being the largest margin of victory ever registered in the series, 44 to 20. In 1931 Kansas came back with a 38 to 32 win but the rivalry was tied up once more in 1940 when the Bluejays eked out a 35 to 33 upset
Sophs Decide Big Six Clash
Al Budolfson, high-scoring Cyclone forward, was held by the Kansas defense to 9 points.
A free throw by George Harville, sophomore guard, gave the Iowa State Cyclones a last-minute 44 to 43 victory over a fighting Kansas State quintet last night at Manhattan.
Harville's conversion came after a foul by John Bortka, sophomore Wildcat forward. The lead had previously changed hands three times in the last ten minutes of the contest.

Graham Brings New Style of Football to Shockers
Spring football practice, called for about March 15, will give Ralph Graham, new University of Wichita athletic director and head football coach, his first chance to view the 1942 Shocker football material.
His immediate job will be to fit this material into a new style of play for Wichita—the Warner system with variations—replacing the Notre Dame system in use for 12 seasons under former Athletic Director Al Gebert
This means that Graham's basic formation will be the single wing back with an unbalanced line both right and left. He also will use the double wing back formation with slight variations.
The double wing back will be used with an unbalanced line and at times the backfield arrangement will be in the form of a short punt setup. The former El Dorado High School and Kansas State College football, basketball, and tennis sensation, intends to use a shift from the short punt arrangement to a single wing back.
Not a rabid "system" man. Graham says, "After all, any system is pretty good when you have good enough material to play it."

Students Escape Serious Injury As Cars Collide
Joe Laird, college sophomore, and Jean Cody, unclassified, were inquired slightly Saturday night, when Laird's sedan collided with a coupe driven by Bill James, 912 Alabama, at Tenth and Indiana streets.
Six other University students were in the wreck, but escaped injury. In Laird's car, besides Miss Cody, were Ben Spencer, college sophomore; Jeff King, college freshman; Nadine Fox, college junior; and Midge Dickey, college freshman.
Lucille Kadel, college junior, and Mary Kuchs, unclassified, were riding in the James car.
Continue Victory Book Drive
Laird and Miss Cody were treated at Watkins Memorial hospital for minor injuries. Laird was released Sunday evening. Miss Cody is still receiving treatment for minor knee injuries.
The Victory Book drive is still under way, C. M. Baker, director of University libraries, said yesterday. The campaign, a drive to "Keep 'Em Reading," is sponsored by the USO, the Red Cross, and the American Library association. The goal is to get books to supplement the overworked areas of the camp libraries.
the men in our rapidly growing armed forces have swamped camp libraries with demands for books to read in their leisure time. Contrary to popular supposition, all the requests are not for the "Whodunit" or "Till carry the mail to Red Dog Calch" type of story.
Many of the men ask for books of scientific or technical work, poetry, biographies of famous men, other non-fiction subjects, and literature. Novels and short stories are also popular.
Books may be turned in at the reserve or periodical desks in Watson library, or at the city library at Ninth and Vermont. Let's "Keep Em Flying," but in their spare time, let's "Keep 'Em Reading."
Motorcycle Crash Victim Condition Still Critical

This thing could go on forever, but cut it off on a moderately interesting note, we will tell how the Puerto Rican caballeros serenade the senoritas. The boys are mechanized, and do things in a big way, by filling a traller with a piano, a miscellaneous collection of instruments and instrumentalists, and driving off to present a full-blown musical accompaniment with the serenade.
Lunceford Furnishes First War "Casualty"
Enjoying the distinction of being rated in the "first ten" group in every poll of bands in the past six years, Jimmy Lunceford's orchestra was the first American casualty of Europe's war blackout.
The Luncefordians were walking up the gangplank when Jimmie was informed that the guns of Europe were thundering again
In musical circles, Jimmie Lunceford is often referred to as "the man Europe will never forget." Hugh Panassie, famous French swing critic and author of the international jittrebug periodical, "Le Jazz Hot," listens to thousands of recordings each year, yet without looking at the label he can instantly recognize a Lunceford record from all others. "Lunceford is the nearest thing to perfection in swing," he wrote during his visit to America last year.
In Stockholm in 1987, an eminent musical critic remarked that few audiences were capable of appreciating the real genius in Jimmie Lunceford's music, and a Brussels dispatch to Billboard read: "European fans today consider him to be the orchestra."
Luceford's distinctive style of music has gained him titles like "Sepia King of Swing," "School of Jazznochracy," and "The Harlem Express." Jimmie mixes swing and the sweet to produce fiery fast tempo rhythms and very smooth mellow waltzes, the way the crowd likes 'em
Navy Considers Offer of Stadium
The Chancellor said that the navy authorities thanked him for the offer and stated that if they were authorized to use such facilities, they would be glad to consider the K.U. stadium. The approval must come from the Bureau of Navigation before further investigations can be made.
Acknowledgement from Washington of blueprints and specifications for housing 500 naval flying cadets under the University stadium has been received by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
The University has submitted the plan to both the Navy and the Army.

The KANSAN Comments...
Congress-Wolf or Red Riding Hood?
It seems safe to assume that Congress welcomed the appointment of Melvyn Douglas and Mayris Chaney to the Office of Civilian Defense. It may, as a man, doubt the wisdom of the appointments, and may be resolved to do something about them, but still, it must be pleased that the appointments were made, and that they were made at the time they were.
For congressmen are politicians, and election is not far off. Our solons are uneasy over the stink raised when the public realized that they had been devoting important time to consideration of a bill to pension themselves, thus diverting the national attention, which should be centered on the war effort, and part of the nation's funds, which must be turned to war production, to themselves. The public saw, and was displeased. Congressmen realized the displeasure they would incur, come next election, as a result of this action.
When it became known to them that Mrs. Roosevelt had secured the appointment of some of her proteges to OCD, Congress welcomed the opportunity to divert public displeasure to someone else. So, it opened up with both barrels, and let Mrs. Roosevelt have it, right between the eyes.
The advisability of allowing Mrs. Roosevelt to continue as a high-ranking OCD official might well be questioned. The advisability of allowing Mayor LaGuardia to continue as its director might also be questioned. It seems highly probable that more efficient persons might be found to handle the jobs. Possibly that will be the ultimate achievement of Congress. But not until the pension thing has had time to be forgotten.
---O--would undoubtedly like very much to make peace with China.
A man in Louisiana whose auto was demolished by a train emerged grinning from the tangled wreckage, and remarked triumphantly that anyhow he had saved three of his tires.
What's Wrong At Singapore?
It's about time that two of Britain's seemingly ever-present Generals were replaced— Generals Too Little and Too Late, a pair that have figured in every battle which Britain has undertaken in this war.
In the Battles of France, Greece, and Norway, the British have passed off their defeats with "Britain always loses every battle except the last one." But now the situation is getting serious. If Singapore falls, and it probably will, the way is open for the Japs to prolong this battle for many years—if they do not actually win it.
Singapore is the last great base of the allies in the Far East. If the Japs capture it, they are free to strike against India and the African coast. The East Indies and even Australia may be next on the list, and the Allies can do little to stop Japan without Singapore from which to operate.
The seriousness of the loss of Singapore cannot be overestimated. Practically all of Britain's vast colonial empire will be open to attack if it falls. The effect on the morale of these colonial peoples will be terrific, since they can feel that they no longer can count on Britain for adequate protection, nor need they fear her strength. The Chinese, whose aid against Japan is practically a necessity, will also fear a British defeat in the Far East. To what extent is impossible to say, but Japan
The probability of a Jap land attack on Singapore has long been evident. Yet the British refused to believe it. The result is the perilous situation in which Singapore now finds itself. Again Britain can point to inadequate troops, guns, and planes to stem the tide.
The Allies cannot afford this kind of reverse. The Far East should remain out of the hands of the Japs at all costs—Generals Too Little and Too Late had better step aside, and do it quickly.
Most storekeepers seek to eradicate mice from their places of business, but not one enterprising merchant in Weston, Texas. He allows each customer a shot with his air rifle as a premium on every purchase.

The current Personal and Community Health class, better known as Hygiene I, has what any bridge fan would recognize as unfair distribution. It seems to be composed in greater part of the Sig Alph, Pi Phi, Kappa, and Gamma Phi chapters, with a few lost souls stuck in here and there as intercellular material.
Back from arid Arizona to continue his matriculation has come Sig Alf Mike O'Bannon, gone these many years. The only bit of culture he seems to have picked up in his wanderings is a vocal aria called, "You Can Get More Loving From A Grand Baby Than A Baby Grand," which his brothers are rapidly getting tired of hearing.
To keep their grades up to the usual Rhodes scholar level, the Phi Psi's this year decided to charge a fine of $3 for every tenth of a point under a 'C' average. Largest contributor to this kitty was Zeke Stuckey with something over $30, with which the Psi's plan to build Chinese pagoda in the front yard.
To impress his family with his scholastic integrity, Phi Delt Thad Robbins decided to leave his car home in Pratt second semester. To walk though, is to die, so Thad bought himself a lovely Ford of an early vintage and not too good a year. Though it is now black, Thad plans to camoflauge it with red, white, and blue on a yellow background, and have its face lifted.
Although the machine formerly had a top, it was necessary to remove it, since it was slightly loose in the front, and any sudden stop would cause it gently to rap Thad on the head, leaving him slightly stunned and unable to get where he was going.
The car has, in addition, three kinds of stops, operated by a series of pedals placed somewhere in the floorboard. For a slow stop use the left hand pedal, for a medium stop, use the middle pedal, and for a quick stop, one steps on everything, and pulls all available knobs. This complicated braking system is one of the reasons the Hillside has been looking so battered of late.
A Novelty
Northbridge Rectory
Practically all of the recent novels about wartime England will fall into one of the two following categories: 1. the unsung knights of the R.A.F. who ride through the clouds into the jaws of death with a song on their lips; 2. the poor "little people" who manage to stay thumbs up in spite of the constant reamings which they are subjected by the dirty Huns.
To anyone who has become slightly bilious with this literary diet, Angela Thirkell's this latest book, "Northbridge Rectory," will prove a novelty, and incidentally quite interesting reading. Nothing much happens — the author points no moral, nobody is killed, the book is completely devoid of profanity and obscenity, there is no love triangle or quadrangle, and if the story contains any propaganda, it slid by the reviewer undetected. Still, as pure entertainment, the novel is a bell-ringer, and does everything up in some 316 pages. English Village Scene
Women will find "Northbridge
Mostly For Women
Except by taking away most of the able-bodied men, the war has not dealt harshly with the little English village of Northbridge. It is peopled mostly by a group of middle-aged women with too much time on their hands, with a few soldiers, some clergymen, and the English equivalent of 4-F's composing the rest of the populace. Most of the people would prefer to go about their business quietly, sometimes wishing that the war was over and that everyone would calm down. The more vigorous ladies appoint themselves to defense committees, volunteer to watch for parachutists from the tower of the church (until it gets cold) and try very hard to create a wartime atmosphere of vigilance and sacrifice for the cause, but Jerry refuses to cooperate even to the extent of a few bombs, flying scornfully over the village on the way to other objectives.
Interesting
Rectory" more readable than "will the men. The book is without any blood-and-thunder doin's, the absence of which tends to discourage male interest. The reviewer had his hopes dashed early in the book when the bombers soared over Northbridge without dropping a single bomb. Again, when an influenza epidemic broke out, he was jubilant over the prospect of a few deaths, but no dice, everyone recovered.
He was compensated, however, by Thinkell's descriptive genius, at times reminiscent of the P. G. Wodehouse style but with a distinctive touch all her own. There is the usual blurb at the end of the book about all the characters being purely fictitious but notbody could draw such clearly-cut characterizations without having somebody in particular in mind.
Best humor in the book, of which there is a considerable amount—the ladies have decided to stage a mock air-raid disaster, with casualties and all (portrayed by Boy Scouts decorated with signs announcing a broken back or shattered blip), and an elderly lady gloats to her friend that she is to portray a hysteria case.
Leading Lady
If these monsters in human form who refer to themselves as the faculty give you a moment's respite from grueling study, let me advise you to kill that moment with "Northbridge Rectory." (New York, 1941, Alfred A. Knopf, publisher, 316 pages.)

Cotton Stockings
New Leg Wear for 1943
Or Bare Legs
Will it be bare legs or cotton stockings for the college woman? Fashion writers and hosiery companies predict that the welldressed women of next year will be wearing rayon and cotton stockings whether they like it or not. But side talk and bullchatter, infer a coed "thumbs down" attitude on the new stockings, the women preferring stockingless legs to the thick hose or expensive nylons. And for special occasions, cosmetic products will undoubtedly play their!
part in dressing up the college girl's legs in soft neutral shades.
At the G-10 fashion show held in New York this month, which emphasized low-in-priority materials, every second model is said to have worn cotton stockings with her non-priority ensembles while the other fashion displays featured rayon for the leg wear.
Just Like Silk
A new idea in the rayon fabrics was displayed in reverse-knit stockings and proved to be one of the big hits of the show. They are said to look and feel exactly like silk. So perhaps if the price isn't too far out of the college woman's pocket-book limit, she may give the new stocking a trial, when the worst comes.
Most of the fashion writers favor the rayon. Special finishes for this type besides the reverse-knit have been developed, adding beauty and longer life, improving snag resistance and texture. New construction methods have also been worked out for cotton hose in the way of novelty designs and a sheerer effect. Hosiery Houses Help
Already women have been given the opportunity to try other fibers in hosiery, but except for a rise in prices the shortage has not yet proved a great enough problem to make the cotton and rayon very saleable products on the market.
When the source of the silk supply was cut last summer, the stocking industry agreed to give the government all aid possible during the present emergency so that silk ordinarily used for hose is now being diverted into parachute production and other purposes.
Hosiery silk supply is gradually dwindling but companies claim that all-silk hosiery may be found in stores up to the end of this year and changes in stock will come leisurely. Stocking legs, for instance, will be

made of silk, while first the top hems and later the feet will be made of other materials.
The difficulty in the new hosiery field is in adapting any one type of stocking to all-wear purposes. Each type, it seems will be better suited for certain occasions. The new rayons are advocated for general wear. If the costume is of tweed, tailored type, fine cotton meshes are suggested as being appropriate. For active sports, driving, and school the various weights in cotton are to be acceptable and economical. But nylons are favored for the particularly dress-up occasions.
Women will have something to look forward to in 1943—and whether it will be bare legs or cotton and rayon for their legs, it will be another part for them to play in the war.

Kansas Engineers High in 'Who's Who'
This University ranks twentieth in the list of institutions of the United States and Canada having seven or more graduates appearing in the latest edition of "Who's Who in Engineering," the department of engineering revealed today.
Kansas has 124 alumni listed in the 1937 "Who's Who," but F. E. Jones, assistant professor of engineering drawing, asserts that in the latest edition 281 are credited to K.U.
Kansas State is forty-third on the list of 142 schools, which is prepared by Dr. Donald B. Prentice, president of Rose Polytechnic Institute.
For the most part, the schools ranking higher than Kansas are the older eastern universities and technical institutes. Massachusetts Institute of Technology is listed first, with Cornell, Michigan, Illinois, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Columbia following. Others ranked ahead of K.U. are Yale, Ohio, California, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Iowa State, and Stanford.
Official figures on the proportion of men to women students enrolled will be released soon by the registrar's office.

Miami Sees Bowl Games For Cagers
Miami Beach, Fla.—(UP)—Packed stadiums, with roaring fans cheering their favorites in an outdoor basketball bowl tournament—similar to the New Year's Day football classics—has been visualized for the near future by Coach Nat Holman.
"The climate here is perfect and the crowds will go for it in a big way," he said. "Just set up a pair of glass backboards and a good board floor and I think you'll pack them in even at the ends of your Orange Bowl."
Holman, vacationing at the Sea Isle hotel, recalled that during the predepression days the famed Original Celtics, with whom he played, toured the country playing in open parks under baseball floodlights.
"We set up our baskets between first and third bases," he said. "The crowd jammed the parks. I don't see why it couldn't be done today."
Holman is considered one of the country's foremost basketball authorities. Last year he coached C.C.N.Y. to six wins against two defeats in the metropolitan New York area.
BREEZE BY CYCLONES--the side and a moment later made a fading-away one-hander. Budolfrson made his tip-in at this point and Harris gained a free throw. Miller dropped in a free throw and then Kuebler picked up three points as he made a set-up and was fouled by Black, making his lone free throw also.

With the score 45 to 35 the Jayhawks went on a scoring rampage and racked up the next 10 points straight as Miller and Black each tallied five points. Feature of this offensive display was Black's set-up after he had taken an Iowa State rebound and dribbed the entire length of the court to tally.
Just before Miller's last goal the two Jayhawker forwards, Black and Miller, had each tallied 17 points with four minutes remaining. Iowa State came on through Schneider's tip-in and Harle Damon's long set shot to break the Kansas string of points.
Miller finished out the Kansas scoring with two set-ups and a free throw to gain credit for the last nine Jayhawker points in four minutes. Kuebler's side shot and free throw and Budolfson's belated mid-court goal finished the scoring with Kansas in front, 60 to 44.

Finish Canteen Work Course at K.U.Hospital
One of the nation's first courses of training for canteen work, sponsored by the American Red Cross and supervised by the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City, has been completed, Dr. H. R. Wahl dean of the School of Medicine, has announced.
The University is one of the few institutions in the nation where such a program has been set up, Dr. Wahl said, and its training is expected to be a salient factor in the University's participation in war activity.
Will Be Instructors
Twenty-four students were enrolled in the first course which gives instruction in mass feeding, such as must be provided in army camps, in Red Cross camps following disasters, and other catastrophes that may develop in the wake of a war. Actual instruction was given in the dietetics department of the hospitals, under the direction of Miss Ruth Gordon, of the hospital staff, and other instructors provided by the Ped Cross.
The 24 students who completed the work last semester were being trained as instructors so that they might offer the same type of training through other institutions in the country.
This training is usually offered through the facilities of hospitals, Dr. Wahl said.
Student Broadcast To Feature Peterson
Merrill Peterson. College junior majoring in political science, will continue a series of weekly student radio speeches sponsored by E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, at 3 p.m. Friday.
Broadcasting from station KFKU, Peterson will speak on the subject, "Kansas Has Its Dark Age." He will stress the liberal progressive history of our state, the strong political leadership which Kansas has given the nation in the past, and recent evidence indicating that Kansas is settling into unchanging conservatism.
Peterson is the second of six student speakers who are broadcasting each Friday afternoon throughout the month of February and the early part of March. Next week Emily Jean Milam, college senior, will speak on "The Short Ballot for Kansas."

Vespers Make Music For Appreciative Crowd
The seventy-second All-Musical Vespers of the School of Fine Arts was presented before a small but appreciative audience Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium.
BY DEAN SIMS
The program was opened "Allegro Risoluto" (Plymouth Guy Criss Simpson. The Men beautiful and somewhat inspir trina's "Tenebrae Factae Sunt. as its second selection a rol- licking and humorous English serenade, "Maiden Fair, O Deign to Tell" by Haydn. The Glee Club was under the direction of Joseph F. Wilkins. String Quartet Plays
The University string Quartet, composed of Waldemar Geltch, first violin; Eugene Ninger, second violin; Karl Kuersteiner, viola; and Raymond Stuhl, cello, next played the first movement of Tschaiwowsky's "Quartett in D Major."
The fourth part of the program consisted of three numbers by the Women's Glee Club directed by Irene Peabody. The choral club opened with "Exquisite Hour" by Poldowski, featuring June Cochren in an alto solo.
Finale by Band
The Women's Glee Club closed their portion of the Vespers program with Bach's "Blessing, Glory and Wisdom."
"Agnus Dei" by Bizet, sung as the second number of the Women's Glee Club, proved to be one of the outstanding portions of the hour of music. The Glee Club was assisted with a soprano solo by June Hammett, a violin obligato by Betty Haney, and by Winifred Hill at the organ. Miss Hammett and Miss Haney gave especially commendable performances in their respective roles.
Wilkins then sang a tenor solo,
"Dank Sei Dir, Herr" by Handel,
with an instrumental background.
Mr. Wilkins' instrumental accompaniment was by Geltch, first violin;

Johnson, harp; and Laurel E. Anderson, organ.
The University Band, under the direction of Russell L. Wiley, concluded the Vespers with the three movements of Gustav Holst's "First Suite in E Flat."
The first movement, "Chaecone," was a beautiful and inspiring melody of varied soft tempos. The second, "Intermezzo," progressed at a faster, almost frolicking rate, and the concluding "Grand March" ended the program with a triumphant musical flourish.
'World at War Packs 'Em In
The oversize crowd at Prof. C. B. Realey's lecture to the World at War class last Thursday night, with people coming and going throughout the talk, has caused a slight headache on the Hill.
"The one thing that we must keep in mind," insisted Dean of the College Paul B. Lawson, "is that the World at War lecture course on Thursday evenings is not just another lecture or concert—but that it definitely is a class."
Dean Lawson strongly urged that, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion and delay in the program, all comers—students and townpeople alike—be in their seats promptly by 7:30 o'clock. "Such thoughtfulness will be appreciated by all," concluded Dean Lawson.
There are 365 enrolled in the course, but more than 600 persons attended Realey's lecture.

Hassler's "Gigue in D minor;" the "Waldstein Sonata" by Beethoven; the Etude Op. 25, no. 5 and the Nocturne Op. 62, no. 2 of Chopin; "The Dance of the Gnomes" by Liszt; a Schubertian Novellette of Poulenc; Swinstead's "Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be;" the Spanish Nocture of Cassado; and the Strauss-Tausig "Valse-Caprice on Night Moths."
laboratories warn that paint applied to the inside of window glass serves to make mirrors of the outside. The glass reflects every glow from the outside and would make the building a perfect target after bombing planes had dropped flares.
The best type of paint to use is flat paint. The color should be black, dark brown or olive drab. Plate glass, however, should not be painted with dark paint, because of heat absorption and possible breaking of the glass.

Children Don't Know How To Salute Flag
Pittsburg—(UP)—Mere "mouthing" of the words of the flag salute every day is not a "sound method" of understanding its meaning, Dr. Herbert T. Olander of the University of Pittsburg has concluded.
He found that those who knew the words of the flag salute understand the meaning of the words and not quite certain of the words are unable to interpret the salute.
Dr. Olander studied almost 3,000 school children between the third and twelfth grades. The pupils represent school districts ranging from rural areas to cities of 30,000 population.
He recommends that the salute be
written, that discussions be held on the meanings of the words and terms, and that graphic displays through pictures and slides be employed.

Students in home economics will think they are stepping into their own homes when they start working in the remodeled laboratory kitchens and dining room in the department of home economics in the basement of Fraser hall.
At present most of the work has been done in two large rooms in the southwest end of the basement. In the west laboratory the old equipment has been removed, and a

Ice Skating Starts Again
Chilling blasts and mid-winter temperatures, with the mercury at 1 p.m. today standing at 14 degrees Fahrenheit, are combining to give the ice skater another crack at his favorite sport and without falling through the ice. Hill ice skating will begin officially at 7:30 o'clock tonight, Dr. F. C. Allen announced today.
The intramural field which was flooded for skaters the first week in January has been flooded again. Tonight will be the first use of the skating rink since that time.
The rink, 40 feet wide and 80 feet long, will be covered with ice one foot thick. Before the original flooding, the field was leveled off by workers from the department of buildings and grounds.
A bonfire on the sidelines will provide warmth for the skaters. The rink will be open to the public as long as freezing weather continues. At night it will be lighted.

K.U. Graduate Dies in Crash
Norman R. Meeks, 27, second lieutenant in the U. S. Army air corps and a graduate of the University, was killed yesterday when the training plane in which he was flying crashed at Blue Springs. Mo
Meeks, with second lieutenant Boyd V. Mann, 29, Olathe, had taken off from Sherman field at Ft. Leavenworth in a two-place, open cockpit plane about 4 p.m. for a routine training flight. They crashed at Blue Springs, 30 miles southeast of Leavenworth, about half an hour later. Both men were killed instantly.
Meeks graduated from the University in 1939 with an A. B. degree in history. During his senior year, he was president of the Delta Upsilon fraternity and the Men's Pan-Hellenic council. He was very popular on the campus, and many of his friends are still attending school.
Following his graduation, Meeks was in the oil business in western Kansas. Last Sept. 22, he was commissioned a second lieutenant in a national guard unit; and he entered the federal service Oct. 6.
Skill in the art of painting with the air brush and by tempera is shown in the exhibition of work done by the Commercial Art class of Prof. T. D. Jones in the department of design.
Art Exhibits Flash In Frank Strong Hall
The work on display in the corridor of the design department is of decorative heads, suitable for magazine covers or for all decorations.
Meeks is a native of Wichita. His mother, Mrs. Gertrude Doran, of Wichita, survives him.
Professor Jones commented that, so far as he knew, the University was the only school in the country that trained students in the skill of air gun painting.

Julie Henry Nessly Relates Experiences Of Year In Samoa
By Joy Miller
JULIE NESSLY
1930
"It seems strange to be with people who aren't vitally interested in the war," declared Julie Henry Nessly, graduate of 1940, who has just returned from Samoa where her husband, Jack Nessley, '39, is stationed. $ \circ $
A small, vivacious redhead with tiny lines of having experienced too much too recently etched around her eyes. Mrs. Nessly told of her life in Samoa with a straightforward
intentness. About subjects tabooed by government regulations—the Samoa bombing and wartime conditions in Samoa, she was discreetly silent. To Samoa a Year Ago
About the effect of the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Samoa, Mrs. Nessly could say little, except that "everyone was stunned. We just couldn't believe it! Of course, the men were called to arms, ready for any old thing!"
Mrs. Nessly was still in Samoa
When a student on the Hill, Mrs. Nessly was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and a physical education major. Jack Nessly was a Beta Theta Pi in the school of business, and cheerleader for several years. The couple went to Samoa about a year ago where Jack is still in active marine service.
Sands Lecture Is Canceled
Samoa, as Mrs. Nessly described it, is a mountain in the middle of the south seas about six thousand miles from the west coast. It is strategically placed, on the route to Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. It has a damp, warm climate, the temperature never dropping below 75 degrees "Right now Samoa is in the midst of summer, which makes Lawrence' weather seem colder than ever, although I guess this is what you'd call mild."
when it was bombed, but was completely noncommittal about the attack. All women in the Pacific were evacuated and brought to San Francisco—a trip about which nothing could be said, "but we did wear our lifebelts constantly."
The English drama lecture and dramatic characterizations by Miss Dorothy Sands of the New York stage, scheduled for Feb. 18, has been postponed, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary in the Chancellor's office, announced today.
In the United States about a week and a half, and in Lawrence since Sunday, Mrs. Nessly thinks she will possibly stay with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gwinn Henry. "It's good to be back—even if I don't know as many people on the Hill as I used to, but I like to remember all the fun I had in Samoa—before the war!"
The lecture by Miss Sands was a part of the scheduled Community Lecture course.
A Mountain In the Sea
The postponement is due to the overwhelming success of the Theater Guild play, "Papa is All," which is being held-over in New York City and in which Miss Sands has a role.
Although Hawaii is commercialized, Samoa is still for the Samoans, who are kindly, religious people, Mrs. Nessley said. "We had native (continued to page eight)
WEATHER
Efforts are being made to secure a substitute lecturer on the same or similar subject.
Continued fair with no extreme change in temperature tonight or tomorrow.
To Speak on Campus Problems Tonight
Tryouts for the annual campus problems speaking contest will be held at 7:30 tonight in the little theater of Green hall. This preliminary contest is open to any student at the University.
Subjects of the speeches, which are to be four minutes in length, may be of any campus problem, either specific or general. Judges for the contest will be James Barton, instructor of speech; Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech; and Miss Margaret Anderson, associate professor of speech.
Students chosen in tonight's competition will participate in the finals at 8 p.m. next Tuesday. Winner of the final contest will receive a silver cup presented by the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association. The program is open to the public.
No Special Place for University
No separate place of registration will be provided University students who must register for military service Monday, it was emphasized today by James K. Hitt, assistant registrar.
Hitt sought to make clear to all University men that if they are eligible for registration, tha t act must be performed in the Lawrence armory Monday between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.
At that same time, all male residents of Douglas county eligible for the registration will appear at the armory. No other place of registration has been provided in Douglas county.
Bruce Cameron, chairman of the Lawrence draft board, received word from the state draft offices today that no person enlisted under the V-7 program of the naval reserve shall be required to register Monday.
Any man is eligible for the registration who reached his 20th birthday on or before Dec. 31, 1941, and who has not reached his 45th birthday on Feb. 16, 1942.
Certain accommodations are allowed those whose employment or physical condition prevents their Monday appearance. A legitimate excuse, such as riding on a bus, train, or ship, will excuse the person from registering. For such persons, registration will be allowed on Sunday, Feb. 15. But registration may not be on Sunday only for convenience.
Unless excepted by certain sections of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 as amended by section 208 of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and Reserve act of 1941, persons of the above ages who are residing in continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, must register.
Cameron expressed the hope this information would clarify doubt and confusion on the campus regarding the situation.
A person who is from another county may register in Douglas county, give his home address on the second line of the registration card, and the card will be sent to his county and he will be under the jurisdiction of the local board in that county. Those males who are excepted from registration by Section 5 (a) are: Commissioned officers, warrant officers, pay clerks, and enlisted men of the regular army, the navy, the marine corps, the coast guard, the

With Debutantes Soldiers Enjoy Life
Since the days of Sir Walter Raleigh the men in service have been considered as necessary evils and that nice girls should cross to the other side of the street when they see a soldier coming.
But with general popping of things in Europe and the popping that has developed in our own country, the soldier is now a necessary good. And the former attitude has disappeared along with the rubber tires and silk stockings.
Many of the fellows are learning how to act in the top of society notches and are seeing and experiencing how other people live and act over the United States—things that they would never have learned or given the opportunity to become acquainted with in civilian life. And girls are learning that there
They are entertained in Elks clubs, in civilians' homes, and on special occasions everywhere. Recreation centers are constructed for their diversion. Debutantes, society leaders, and home girls are doing their part to make a soldier's life what it ought to be. The men are even given a spree at girls' schools on occasions.
What with wrangles over the length of service, just who and who shouldn't be drafted and one thing and another, little attention was given about how the selectees were being treated and respected in their new life. An occasional grumble was heard, even deep and hearty grumbles, but that was about all and those in charge of the morale in the camps were despondent over the attitude on the part of a majority of the civilians. But with the United States Organization and groups formed by people of the towns near which soldier's camps are situated, that have cooperated with the army officers in charge of morale building, are turning life into a lively affair for the fellows after their day of tramping and practicing—which is to say if they feel ready for a lively bit of recreation, they can usually get it.

are a lot of pretty swell fellows in the ranks of the United States army. When they realize that their own brothers, boy friends and relatives are among those men in uniform on the payroll for Uncle Sam, they begin to look upon the soldiers in a new light—as boy friends or pals. So now when a soldier is asked if he finds it hard trying to get a date with a girl, when there is so little chance to obtain correct introductions and develop formal friendships, he is able to answer, "No." When they want a date, they just say to the girl, "Honey, how about a date for the sake of national defense." And it is not unprobable that they go off for a coke or a dance.

Greetings Come Late
Late but cordial congratulations and greetings were received today by the Alumni association office from Second Lieutenant Ray G. Lawrence, 1939 civil engineering graduate.
Lieut. Lawrence is stationed at pt. Mills, Corregidor Island, Philippines. The letter was postmarked Nov. 22. He writes his congratulations on the winning of the football game with Kansas State and sends tardy wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the University.
From Philippines
Lawrence also commented that stationed at Ft. Mills were four other former University students, Don Fulmer, a student in '33; Herman Hauck, 1937 graduate of the School of Business; James Traw, 1938 graduate in chemical engineering; and Melvin Moore, 1937 graduate of the College.
Soldier Crusades for Charm Women in Khaki Irk
Figuring roundly, it is 8000 miles from the Hill to Corregidor Island. It took the letter 88 days to travel the distance which gives the letter a traveling speed of 91 miles a day.
Hollywood, Feb. 18—(UP)—Private Fred A. Banker, first class, of Battery A, Third Coast Artillery, Ft. MacArthur, Calif., started a one-soldier campaign today against ladies striding around in unpressed khaki uniforms and giving fighting men like himself the heebies.
All he did was write a note to the post newspaper suggesting that there be more form in the female uniform. Lieut. David Bramson, the editor, took up the cudgels against females in khaki and cited Miss Olivia de Havilland as an example. In a uniform, he said, she looks like a boy. In a dress, he added gallantly, she is the epitome of on clothes and that khaki stood better.
"These women have no right to do this to us," continued the lieutenant. "We wear the pants well enough."
Film Stars Incensed
By that time Private Banker's complaint had trickled into Hollywood, where such ladies as Ida Lupino, Carole Landis, Kay Francis, Constance Bennett, Myrna Loy, Jeanette MacDonald, Mrs. Darryl F. Zanuck and many another wear some of the most magnificent uniforms seen this side of Herman Goering. Some of the feminine uniform wearers were incensed. Some refused to be quoted.
And some others, like Dorothy Lamour and Paulette Goddard, said they sympathized with Private Banker. They said they, too, had shuddered at the sight of square-beamed ladies in olive drab.
"Where has the fairer sex disappeared?" demanded Private Banker. "We have been on 24-hour duty since Dec. 7. Last week some of us got our first pass since the war. We immediately went to Hollywood boulevard. But instead of the usual beauty parade, we saw hordes of mannish creatures in unpressed 'skibby' khaki striding up and down. We were so disappointed, we returned to the reservation."
Rants Against Uniforms
"Hitler says women can't wear cosmetics," added Lieut. Bramson. "Now look at what our own women are wearing, without anybody telling 'em. We think women are wonderful, until they start putting en uniforms."
Miss De Havilland reported she was a non-combatant. She said she never had worn a uniform except once when the New York office of her studio asked her to pose in one. She added that she was glad the army liked her in a dress.
Jane Wyman begged to differ with Private Banker. She sat war work involved considerable wear and tear
"Furthermore a woman war worker must return home late at night, night after night," she said. "If she wears a uniform, she is protected."
"I'll say she is protected," said Private Banker. "Automatically."
This statement was relayed to Private Banker. He agreed with Miss Wyman.
Lunceford Jive
★★★
Varied Style
Quill Magazine Has New Title
Hill dance fans will find a new and different arrangement of jive at the Junior Prom, Friday, Feb. 27, when they dance to the music of all of the big name bands in the country, as well as the Lunceford rhythm.
In Harlem alone, classed as the nation's swing center, the band has broken record after record in attracting both swing-mad fans and lovers of sweet music. In 1938 the band broke three of these records one for all time attendance, one for an opening day, and the third for a weekend.
Lunceford's band has a reputation for using the style of other big name bands. But this is not all the Negro band is famed for. As the originators of the "School of Jazznocracy," the group of talented musicians have become famous throughout the country.
The band did not climb overnight to a top spot in American popularity. The process of making the grade was long and slow. The band really started 15 years ago at Fisk University, but only for the past five years has Lunceford's band been among the top 10 according to the musical magazine polls.
Throughout the Middle West the band has always been a favorite, winning first place in a poll of the Kansas City high school students in 1938. Jazz lovers on the Hill are all familiar with the Lunceford records on the local juke boxes.
Another issue of the Quill Club magazine will be published around March 31, this time under a new name. The magazine has been published intermittently since 1924. Known last year as the "Oread Magazine," the publication will now carry the name, "Feoh," an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "first." The title was chosen because that is the name of the local club, which was the first Quill Club anywhere in the United States.
The Quill Club was organized 28 years ago by Prof. E. M. Hopkins.
Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, assistant professor of English, was one of the first members and has contributed many stories throughout the years. Chancellor Malott is also a member.
Copies may be obtained by geting in touch with Lucille York, or Isabelle Benson, college juniors, who are in charge of subscriptions. The price will be 25 cents, plus one cent tax.
Ashton On Folklore Council
Dr. John W. Ashton, chairman of the department of English, has been elected to the Council of the American Folklore Society, it was announced today. Dr. Ashton has contributed many articles to national periodicals on the subject of American folklore.

Army Dental Corps Wars On Cavities
Chicago—(UP)—From Puerto Rico to Alaska, the U.S. Army Dental Corps is being equipped to war on bad teeth.
Describing the corps' unprecedented expansion in the January issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association, Capt. Ellsworth K. Kelly said $1,395,203 had been spent for dental equipment and supplies since July 1 and the personnel increased from 267 to 2,900, excluding hundreds of hygienists, assistants and non-professional aids.
"Every hospital constructed for army cantonments includes a dental clinic housed in a separate building, with 15 chairs for small and 25 for large concentrations," he said.
Kelly said an eight-chair dental clinic had been designed for new aircorps fields under construction and that clinics at permanent station posts in Puerto Rico, Panama, Hawaii and Alaska have been expanded.

SPEED... at a telephone job that is vital
Telephone construction crews everywhere have been breaking records month after month.
Within the space of a year, Southwestern Bell crews completed extensive telephone systems at scores of military or military supply locations in Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, finishing each job on time . . . or ahead of time.
In some exchanges where the inrush of workersinarmament plants created an extraordinary demand, these crews have helped to double the number of telephones in service.
All told, 30,000 Bell Telephone folks in the Southwest march ahead these days, doing their best with such materials as are available to give you . . . and the nation . . . all the telephone service possible in time of war.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
The two games over the past weekend have brought out several interesting revelations. First of all, the 60 points registered by the Jayhawkers Monday night is the highest score ever tallied in a Big Six conference game by Kansas. The former record was set in 1939 when the Oklahoma Sooners were defeated 59 to 45.
The Nebraska game almost brought forth a new record concerning the margin of victory rolled up by a Jayhawker crew. In 1932 Coach "Phog" Allen's outfit trampled the Cornhuskers beneath a 51 to 19 count for a margin of 32 points or four more than the Saturday margin.
An odd coincidence is that the highest score ever made against the Jayhawks in the Big Six was made in the game following that Oklahoma clash in 1939. Missouri was the opponent as well as the victor, 55 to 30.
RECORDS MAY COME BUT LET'S WAIT
The Saturday night game might also have set four other new records. No official tabulations have been kept concerning these marks so it is entirely problematical. First of these concerns the margin of lead which the Kansas had at the half-way mark, 29 to 8 or 21 points. Second is the defensive mark of holding the opposing team to only 8 points for the first 20 minutes of play. The third possible record is holding a team to just one field goal during the first half. And the final mark was the lead which the Jayhawks had gained at the end of 10 minutes of play, 20 to 3.
With these figures out of the way it might be interesting to note just what new records the Kansas team can point to now. Two of these seem to be within easy reach of the Jayhawks. At present Kansas has scored 358 points in seven conference games. This is an average of 51.1 points a game. The record average of 46.2 set by Oklahoma in 1939 added up to 462 points in 10 games. That means K.U. is just 104 points behind the record at this time. An average of 35 points a game in the three remaining league contests would establish a new record in this department.
Another record which seems certain to fall is the field goal record. The Kansans have totaled 147 goals in seven games for an average of 21 goals a game. The record for this item it also held by Oklahoma and also gained in 1939. It is a total of 185 goals for 10 games or an average of 18.5 goals. Kansas needs only 38 goals to tie the record or an average of 13 goals against Oklahoma, Kansas State, and Missouri to break the mark.
The possibility still exists that "Ramin" Ralph Miller may stay on the fire-wagon and break either Howard Engleman's school record of 27 points a game or both the school record and the conference mark by tallying more than the 30 points which Jimmy McNatt racked up against Nebraska in 1940.
Above all of these possibilities, however, rests the chance that the Jayhawkers may go ahead to win the conference crown, the Western N.C.A.A play-offs, and finally become National champions in the N.C.A.A. final playoffs. But all of this seems too good for even the most optimistic prognosticator to predict so it would be well to let those game Jayhawkers go along and play and win each game as it comes up and let the titles fall where they may.
SHOOTING EYES OF JAYHAWKERS IMPROVING
Tabulations at the Iowa State game show that Ray Evans had the highest percentage of successful attempts at the basket for the Kansas team. Evans shot 9 times and connected 4 times for a record of 44 per cent. Ralph Miller followed closely with 11 baskets out of 29 attempts for 38 per cent, Charlie Black made 8 buckets out of 27 shots for 29 per cent, and Johnny Buescher made 1 out of 11 for 9 per cent. T. P. Hunter, who played 34 minutes of the game after replacing Bobby Johnson, took only two shots and made one of them.
For Iowa State it was Rollin "Keeb" Kueber all the way. He shot just 15 times but connected 7 times for a remarkable percentage of 46. Carol Schneider was next with 5 goals out of 18 shots for 28 per cent. The great Al Budolffon shot 25 times but made only 4 buckets for a 16 per cent average. Bob Harris got one goal for his 10 attempts for a 10 per cent mark.
Team averages show that Kansas took 80 shots, making 25, for an average of 31 per cent. Iowa State took 76 shots, made just 19 baskets, and wound up with a mark of 25 per cent. This percentage of shots is the best registered by the team in their last three high-scoring home appearances. Against Nebraska Saturday night 90 shots were attempted and 24 dropped through the hoop for an average of 26.7 per cent. Against Creighton the percentage was 30 as 21 baskets were made on 70 shots.
Odds and ends: Nebraska took 25 shots in the first half of the game Saturday night and made only 1 for a mark of 4 per cent. . . . That sounds like a record but not one that would be very popular. . . . "All the schools in the East," Johnny Glemn, Coach Allen's guest from Beardstown, Ill., said, "are coming to start their games in the same manner that K.U. has always done. That is, turn out the lights as the national anthem is played while the flag is being raised." . . . Midway during the first half of the Iowa State game "Cappy" Miller came charging down the court. He hit Bob Harris, Cyclone forward, a glancing blow which sent the latter to the floor and Miller reeled on down the court. He hadn't gone three steps and was just coming out of his spin when Rollin Kuebler, Iowa State center, stepped in front of "Cappy" and the Cyclone hit the floor and bounced up and down several times while Miller went careening down the floor. . . Once when Bob Harris came out of the line-up he emplored Coach Louis Menze to send in someone to stop Ray Evans. So Harris said, "Evans is going wild out there, I can't stop him." Monday night's refereeing was poor as ever. . . University fans should realize by this time how bad the refereeing are and reconcile themselves to the fact. . . It doesn't do any good to "boo" the officials and causes further antagonism. . . Why boo when we're ahead anyway?

Cowboys Are Dangerous
"The toughest team on the schedule" is the way the Oklahoma A. and M. cage squad can be sized up and this is the opponent the Jayhawkers will face Friday night when Henry Iba brings his band of Cowboys
to Lawrence to play the first of a home-and-home series that will be concluded next Wednesday at Stillwater.
Year in and year out the Aggies are perennial favorites to win the Missouri Valley crown. Since Iba

BUD MILLIKAN, GUARD
One of the finest additions to the Oklahoma Aggie basketball roster in many a year is senior guard Bud Millikan. Millikan was an All-Missouri interscholastic player at guard his last two years at Maryville, Mo. He gained honorable mention in the Missouri Valley last year. He is the third leading scorer on the team this year.
has been at the Stillwater school, the Aggies have won three championships, two co-championships, and second place once in seven years. Comparative Score Favors Aggies
The only year that Iba failed to finish high in the race was his first season at A. and M., 1934-35. For the next five years he was either in the top spot alone or tied with another team. Last year his team finished second to the powerful Creighton Bluejay five.
This year, however, is another matter from last season and Iba is back in his winning ways. Winners in 14 out of 16 games played this season, the Cowboys are leading the Missouri Valley with an undefeated record of six victories. The Aggies play Tulsa tonight in their seventh conference game.
The long basis of comparative scores for this season between the two schools gives Oklahoma A. and M. the edge. The Cowboys triumphed over Creighton, 31 to 22, on the Bluejays home court whereas the Jayhawks were barely able to edge out the Nebraskans, 53-49, at Lawrence.
Leading the cause of the Aggies this season are four senior regulars. Donnie Eggleston and J. T. Newman, forwards, and Jack Taylor and Bud Millikan, guards. The other regular is Lou Steinmeir, sophomore center
Score-Conscious Jayhawker Team Really Hits Hoop
The most devastating scoring attack in Big Six history is bowling over foes of the Kansas Jayhawks as Dr. F. C. Allen's cage team makes an all-out effort to gain another Big Six basketball championship.
An average of 51.1 points a game has been compiled in conference play by the Jayhawks, almost five points ahead of the record average of 46.2 points a game set by Oklahoma in 1939.
Allen's team slipped into high gear against Creighton, scoring 53 points against that crack quintet. Piling up the points even higher, the Jayhawks followed this with smashing victories over Nebraska and Iowa State by scores of 58-30 and 60-44.
Hitting the pace predicted for him ever since his days as a high school sensation, "Rifling Ralph" Miller fired 24 points into the net against Nebraska and 26 in the game with Iowa State.
Those 50 points shot Miller into first place in the battle for individual scoring honors in the Big Six, with an average of 14.6 points a game. In second place is another Kansas ace, Charlie Black, at 13.6.

The KANSAN Comments...
Sabotage AND Neglect?
Just one week ago today the United States lost another "battle" in the burning and cap-sizing of the Normandie, recently commissioned the S.S. Lafayette. The Allied cause has consistently met with set-backs, but the New York harbor disaster stands out as one of the most prominent in the series. Its magnitude is intensified by its proximity.
In all these battle scenes the stage had been set at a fairly "safe" distance from the home theatre—until last Monday. The possibility that sabotage on so large a scale might have occurred in New York harbor strikes awfully close to home! Yes, we said sabotage.
We complained when the British fell away at Dunkirk; we yelled when the Japs took Pearl Harbor and followed it up with Manila. We began howling again last week when it became evident that Singapore could not hold out and we howled still more Sunday when we learned that the inevitable had occurred. Now we had better start screaming—and in the direction of the Anti-Sabotage Division of the U.S. Maritime Commission.
"For a week I have been playing enemy agent. For the last two days I have been wandering all over the S.S. Lafayette, once the Normandie. I have been lighting imaginary fires. I have been planting imaginary bombs. I have succeeded in 'destroying' a dozen times over the second biggest ship in the world."
America owes much to the newspaper, PM, which warned us as early as January 3 of the possibilities of sabotage aboard the world's largest potential troop ship. Two days after the Pearl Harbor attack, that newspaper assigned a reporter, Edmund Scott, in the guise of a longshoreman, to study the ship's vulnerability to fire. Mr. Scott's comment was as follows, in part:
Is it not criminal that such information (in full detail, too) should be ignored by the chief of the Anti-Sabotage Division of the U.S. Maritime Commission? Yet that is exactly what happened. PM, unselfishly offered the results of Mr. Scott's investigation to Captain Charles H. Zeerfoss of that Division rather than print it. But, the captain refused it.
We will note the true results of last Monday's tragedy as time goes on if more and more Allied strongholds fall because of no reinforcements. The resultant chapter will be written in the blood of American soldiers. Is it not time that we start screaming?
Tomorrow's High School
In 1932 three hundred liberal arts colleges made it possible for the Progressive Educational Association to experiment with high school teaching by agreeing to admit graduates of thirty progressive schools without the usual entrance requirements.
The meanings and objectives of such education are simple. Every student should learn to read, write, and speak the English language with skill. He should also learn to understand mathematics. Cut and dried textbook teaching should give way to teaching solutions to problems of modern living. The concerns of United States youth should be the heart of the curriculum. The schools should promote students' physical, mental, and emotional health. Most important of all, schools of the future should bring to every young American his heritage of freedom and inspire devotion to human welfare.-J.C.K.
Now four classes of progressive high school students have been graduated from colleges. Impartial judges paired each of these students with a conventional-school graduate of the same intelligence, sex, age, interests, and family background. Results showed that the progressive students got slightly better marks from their professors, won more academic honors, were more precise and systematic in their thinking, were more resourceful in meeting practical problems, took a keener interest in world affairs, went out for more extracurricular activities, and were elected to more student offices.
When Winston Churchill said that his fondest hope had been the entry of U.S. into the war, we'll bet Senator Wheeler muttered Whaddi tell you? under his breath.

Miller Hall women are going around these days with sore left arms. It seems one of them came down with a nifty case of chicken-pox, and to avoid quarantine at this crucial time, it was necessary for them all to take shots. Miller now claims the corner on this particular serum market.
The Sigma Nu's are still having trouble with Lawrence cleaners. Only a week or so ago Hills Kennard sent his cords off to be reconditioned and set them back a soft and lovely shade of blue. Now, by heaven, Howard Shryock is having attacks of the same trouble. His cords returned to the Sigma Nu house disgustingly clean, but of a sweet and simple shade of pink.
Earlier this week, Kappa pledges, observing certain formalities of Hell Week, came to school with their hair very much down, having been forbidden the use of bobby pins. The exception to this case however, was Mary Cheney, who doesn't care about putting her hair up at night anyhow. A contingent of insensitive actives styled her hair in wee, tiny braids all over her head and sent her out into the limberlost. Footnote: It was observed that she wore a scarf well anchored over her head that day.
Mutterings from a mummy case, or what the faculty is saying this week: Byron Sarvis: (His draft number is up), "Well, the government has decided that they want my body. Now the only question remaining is when they want it."
Robert Calderwood: (At tryouts for "Charley's Aunt"), "How do you expect me to cast you women in these roles when you come to tryouts in slacks? I simply cannot visualize you in these parts when all I can see is a pair of trousers."
Mapheus Smith: (lecturing on the fact that women seem to live longer than men), "Women, after they reach a certain age, are practically immortal."
Overheard and ununderstood telephone conversation: Shirley Henry: "Is there something wrong with the telephone? I can't seem to hear you." Brian Kirby, cheerfully: "Oh no, I just brushed my teeth."
Dyche's New Roomer----
Big Black Bear Is Newest Recruit for Panorama
The animal was shot by forest rangers last September near Tower Falls in Yellowstone Park. Two shots were required to stop the big fellow, since the rangers did not fire at his head for fear of damaging the hide for museum purposes. Klaus Abegg,
A 450-pound black bear (dead, nacherly) will soon join the grizzlies, walruses, moose, beavers, etc., in the big North American Animals panorama on the first floor of Dyche Museum.
custodian and technician of Dyche Museum, who is preparing the beast for exhibition, was in the ranger party.
Present plans are only tentative, but the bear will probably be placed in the southeast section of the panorama, and will be posed digging around the base of a tree stump in search of grubs, a piece de resistance of black bear diet. For company, Ursus Americanus, as he is referred to in some quarters, will have a few grizzly bears and some smaller woodland animals.
Lengthy Process
Abegg is now busy working on an addition to the bird collection on the second floor of Dyche, besides preparing Ursus for exhibition. Considerable work is involved in transforming the beastie from an almost shapeless furry black pelt to a life-like showpiece. The first step, already completed, is to make a plaster form, held together with wires, which roughly approximates the shape of the bear. This form is supported by the critter's leg bones, the only part of his skeletal structure used in the process.
Over this plaster and wire contrivance is placed a thin layer of clay, shaped to display accurately the bear's body contours. Then comes another layer, this time of plaster and fibre, which forms a mold. The mold is permitted to harden, and is used to cast a plaster and fibre "manikin." On this manikin the animal's hide is stretched
and sewed back into shape. It is then decorated with glass eyes, and artificial teeth, for its natural teeth tend to check and become discolored. The claws are treated with a type of poison that will discourage any insect who desires to use them for a blue plate special lunch. All this being accomplished, the bear is ready to take his place in the panorama.
Custodian Abegg does not hold with those who contend that the black bear is a dangerous animal. Like any self-respecting human, he will do battle when attacked or annoyed, and as in the genus homo sapiens, there are a few outlaws, but on the whole, the black bear appreciates peace and quiet.
Ursus Hates "Wah"
Swarthout, Glotzbach to Play
It would make excellent reading to say that the museum specimen-to-be launched an earth-shaking charge at the rangers, and was finally dropped almost at the gumner's feet, but such was not the case. The fact is that he was making extensive efforts to be alone when, as it must to all black bears, death came to Ursus Americanus.
The program tomorrow evening, of the regular weekly musicale, broadcast over station KFKU at 6:15, will consist of a piano duo by Bob Glotz-bach, fine arts senior, and Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts. They will play the rhapsody of Rachmaninoff, "Theme and Variations."

Refugees Risk Death To Flee from Norway
New York—(UP)—There were three children, two women and two men huddled in the cabin of a 70-foot cutter on the turbulent North Sea — somewhere between Norway and England.
Day had just broken. They had put out the night before from a little town on the Norway coast, bound for England because Nazi domination had become intolerable. They had risked death before a firing squad in attempting to escape and now,
three of their journey accomplished, death threatened from the air.
Grenade Hits Chimney
In the cabin, the children of Mrs. Elsa Johansen, who told this story, looked curiously at their mother.
"They showed no fear," she said, "and I tried not to.
"When the plane was directly over the cutter its crew dropped hand grenades. One grenade fell through the chimney and into our cabin stove, where it exploded. The stove door flew open, and sparks and ashes flew out, but fortunately the stove did not burst. None of us was hurt."
Her oldest child, Roy, 8, asked his mother what the trouble was.
Students Shine In War Effort
"College and university students have a definite role in the war preparedness and defense program," said Miss Elizabeth Wilson, Washington, D.C., who represented the Consumers' Division of the Office of Price Administration, school and college section, on the campus yesterday. Miss Wilson discussed with University authorities possible programs for the conservation of materials vital to war activity.
She pointed out that although the program is still in a formative stage, this is the first time in our history that college students have been affected and organized in such a war effort.
The proposed program, when worked out, will probably be an educational one. Miss Wilson commented, with the emphasis on the conservation of materials, how to use substitutes, and other topics of importance to the nation in the world crisis.
She also pointed out that all over the nation the students are showing a great eagerness for cooperation. One of the biggest problems is that of formulating constructive programs rapidly enough to absorb student energy, Miss Wilson concluded.
ROTC Commissions For Men at 18
Graduates of the R.O.T.C. course at the University now may receive reserve army commissions at the age of 18 years, the Military Science department announced yesterday, in compliance with an order of the war department. The previous age limit of 21 has been lowered for R.O.T.C. students to assure that they are issued commissions immediately upon their graduation.
A University military spokesman said yesterday that the new ruling in no way implied a shortening of the four-year R.O.T.C. course.
'America Today Panel Series Starts Tuesday
The first in a series of five student meetings to be held during the next month for the discussion of the general topic, "America Today," will be held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon. The meeting will be a roundtable discussion and will last an hour.
The meetings are part of the special emphasis period sponsored by the University chapters of the YMCA and the YWCA, working together on the program. The period will be for student discussion and enlightment on the present conditions in the country since war was declared.
The panel discussion will be under the direction of Gilbert Ulmer, asst. dean of the College. Two faculty members, Hilden Gibson, assistant professor of political science and sociology and D. Gagliardo, professor of economics, will participate in the meeting along with Joe Murray, managing editor of the Lawrence Journal World.
Neal Ukena, college senior and chairman of the "America Today" commission, expressed hope that many students would attend. He stressed the fact that the meeting, although sponsored by the two "Y" organizations, was for all students on the Hill and not limited to the members of the two groups.
Four other meetings have been planned by the commission but are not definite as yet. Plans call for three lectures and one more panel discussion before the series is over
Upon graduation, they will be commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the Air Corps Reserve, and will be given the coveted silver wings symbolic of the aeronautical rating of pilot.
Three to Pilot Combat Planes
Before entering the final and advanced course at Stockton Field 10 weeks ago, the cadets completed 20 weeks of primary and basic training. In the advanced course they were taught to fly the large combat airplanes of the Army air corps and became acquainted with meteorology, radio code, navigation, engineering, signal communication and other professional and military subjects.
Three former University students will be graduated soon from the Air Corps Advanced Flying School at Stockton, Calif. They are Charles Weber, Jr., Ted M. Winzer, and Lyle D. Lutton.
Congress Now Considering Secrets Bill
Washington, Feb. 18.—(UP)—Congress has before it today a Justice department "Official Secrets乳lf" which would substitute claw-tooth penalties of fine and imprisonment for the present system of voluntary censorship established by President Roosevelt.
The bill was drafted merely to provide a penalty for the copying of names from Civil Service Commission personnel records for use as a commercial mailing list, but it is so loosely worded as to cover practically everything pertaining to a government office. The bill is not limited to information possibly of aid to an enemy. If literally construed, a newspaper reporter probably could be indicted, tried and punished severely for publishing a confidential memorandum which proved a government official to be guilty of moral turpitude. The bill would enable cabinet officers and agency heads to suppress—for a time, at least—or to demand punishment for publication of anything at all pertaining to their offices which they decided to label "secret or confidential."
Roosevelt Declines Comment
President Roosevelt, who evidently knew nothing about the bill nor its implications, declined at his press conference yesterday to comment on it, other than to say he could not define in these days what is military information and what is not.
The text of the proposed measure plainly showed that by a loose definition of what constitutes an official secret, the bill almost automatically could supersede the present voluntary censorship arrangement.
Van Nuys Gives Warning
Inquiry at the Justice department indicated, however, that the bill was proposed without any intention of obtaining punitive censorship regulation. It appears to be an instance in which the legal drafting officers of the department may have used phraseology extending considerably further than they were attempting to reach and did not realize how far they had gone.
How would you like to learn to square dance? If you would like to, why don't you attend the dance being held Friday night at 8 o'clock in Robinson gymnasium?
"It looks to me," said one person who examined the proposed legislation, "like a case of setting a bear trap to catch a rabbit."
Grandpa's Pet Sport Revived
During the early part of the evening, instructors in the physical education department will teach the beginning steps and how to make simple squares. Later, the group will take up the formation of more intricate squares.
In the past as many as seven squares have been formed with eight persons to a square. The dances are held every other Friday night in Robinson.
Speech Department Will Read Plays
The department of speech and drama is making plans to present staged readings of modern plays in addition to the two plays offered on the activity and season tickets. The three plays now being considered for presentation are "Mrs. Moonlight" by Benn Wolf Levy, "The Watch on the Rhine" by Lillian Hillman, and "The Male Animal" by Thurber and Nugent.
These performances will be more pretentious than common play readings but not so elaborate as a regular stage presentation. They will resemble a radio version and performance, but the readers will be seen. Each play will be cut to a reading time of approximately one hour.

New Clothes Cramp
Cut Material in Suits
Heavy Dater's Style
War is war, but the modern college man must still have the most important of the three necessities of life, his clothes. The new program to conserve material in the clothing industry will not have a great effect on the everyday sweater and cords of the well-dressed man on the Hill, but there may be some strain on the heavy dater's wardrobe.
The new suits, with the elimination of all little used pockets.
pocket flaps, vests, lapels, and cuffs, may prove to furnish some very interesting problems.
The lack of vests will not bother a great number of the Hill Casanovas, for they are an unnecessary item compared to other articles of clothing.
War styles should prove a boon to the clasp industry, for there will always be a roommate to wear the only tie clasp in the room when you have a heavy date. The evening should prove interesting as he battles to keep his tie in place, and make an impression with the girl at the some time.
The smoker will find a lack of cuffs embarrassing when he cannot see an ashtray in the room and knows how neat a housekeeper his hostess is. However, if he is a fast talker, he may be able to put the blame on the war and get away with burning the rug.
One of the best things about the new suits is the elimination of all unnecessary pockets. For the average fellow who drives a car, time will be saved since he will not need to go through so many pockets, looking for the key. With the old suits this was a long and tedious job that always made one feel like a perfect fool, and made everyone with him cranky for the next 15 minutes.
The tight legs of the new wartype pants may bring about a revolutionary change in the much publicized male beauty contests. It will seem very funny to have the judges selecting the man with the best shaped legs to model for the big clothing manufacturers.
Tattoo Artist For Air Corps
Denver (UP)—Private Richard Massey, who made an honest living needling men as a civilian, is continuing his profession in the army. Private Massey is a tattooer.
Private Massey lived in Denver and went into the army with the Colorado National Guard. No sooner was he at Camp Barkley, Tex., than he was tattooing his fellow soldiers.
Now that he's been transferred to Lowry Field, he is adorning the anatomy of the Air Corps soldiers with tattooed ladies—all of them modestly clothed, however.
The army and navy frown on salacious subjects dancing on their men's biceps so Private Massey is always careful to adorn his ladies in bathing suits, flowing veils or panties and brassieres.
The soldier's favorite design, according to him, is a patriotic emblem in red with his name, army serial number and outfit tattooed in blue.
He likes to tell about a $75 job plete—a Spanish galleon tattooed on that took him four months to coma 'man' chest—or a $125 project he needled on a man's back in four and a half months—a red dragon coiled around a light blue nude with yellow hair.

Famous Names
Do these names sound familiar: Jefferson, Jackson, Adams, Cleveland, Harrison, Johnson?
They are not only the names of former United States presidents, but also the names of members of an All-American class of Aviation Cadets who have just checked in at the "West Point of the Air" for their basic training—the second of the three steps from civilian to commissions.
There are other outstanding statesmen namesakes in the regiment, too. For example, there's a real John Hancock, a Hamilton, no relation of Alexander's, and a Bryan.
Contemporary politicians, too, are represented. Thomas J. Farley is from Philadelphia, Pa.; John D. Long hails from Tampa, Fla.; James W. Walker is from Chicago—not New York.
Among the writers, there's Alger, O'Neill, and Stevenson.
Particularly significant is the name of Wright. William E. is from Decatur, Ill. Ford—also a name in the plane business of late—is represented by Edmund J. Jr., of Lawrence, Mass.
Also, there are in the class: a Moses,
a Warden, a Lamb, a Lake, a Penny,
a Beer, a Fish, and a Bond. The latter's initials are U. S., and he's known as "Defense" to his classmates.
Invitably, there are in the class two Jonesses and seven Smiths.
Oakland, Cal. —(UP)— Mrs. Lillian Silberstein was granted a divorce on grounds that her husband wanted permanent blackout conditions. He permitted, she testified, only one room in the house to be illuminated and heated—and that was the kitchen.

University Graduate Does Yellow Fever Research
Dr. Kenneth H. Goodner, graduate of 1923 and receiver of the doctor's degree in bacteriology from Harvard, is doing research work at Rockefeller Institute, New York City, according to a letter received by Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association.
Dr. Goodner is at present working on a yellow fever vaccine as a part of the Institute's War program. This vaccine is one of the essential supplies that the democracies are able to furnish their troops and that the axis countries are not.
Staff Sergeant William E. Hansen, former K. U. student, is one of the hundreds of behind-the-scenes enlisted men at the Sloan Field, Texas, training home for hundreds of Uncle Sam's bombardier cadets.
Former Student Stationed in Texas
Hansen attended Kansas from 1938 to 1939, and was active in extra-curricular sports activities. He is at present a member of the 487th School Squadron and is assigned to duty on the "flying line" as a crew chief.
He enlisted in the Army Air Corps at Kansas City, Kans., Dec. 27, 1939, and was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, Brooks Field, Texas and Ellington Field, Texas, previous to being assigned to duty at Sloan Field

Twelve of the cushioned chairs to the dining sets are covered with plum colored fabric and the other 12 are covered with a green, beige, and gilt striped material. Miss Hill pointed out that the dining room would make it possible to give more emphasis on meal service in the various foods courses in the department.
A green rug covers the floor of the room. Two sets of walnut dining room furniture have been arranged in this room of the department so that the foods classes can serve family sized dinners or teas for a larger group.
The center hall leading directly to the dining room will have the lockers removed to a small hall off the store room. The room east of the dining room has a large demonstration table with a sink and worktable combined, together with refrigerator and stove, and will be used for demonstrations and discussions.
As soon as possible the east laboratory will be rearranged to make it more convenient. Already a number of persons have visited the department and indicated an interest in the equipment. Miss Hill said. As soon as all the changes are completed, the department plans to hold an open house for the University.

Brush, Razak Finish Designs Of K.U. Plane
Completion this week of designs for a new type airplane is a vital part of the program in aeronautical engineering on the Hill, as training for young men in the country's war activities is being rushed.
E. E. Brush, associate professor of aeronautical engineering, and Kenneth Razak, instructor in aero-nautical engineering, have just completed the preliminary plans for a new two-motored light plane, which they have named "K.U. No. 1." The plane, which may be made either primarily as an instrument flight trainer, but is also, Brush pointed out, the answer to a private plane owner's prayer, because it is powered with two 80 horsepower engines, and can fly on either one.
Although enrollment in the University this semester shows a decrease from last semester, course enrollment in the department of journalism has increased 10 percent, Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the department, said today.
Specifications call for exceptionally high performance, with a top speed of 160 miles per hour, and a landing speed of around 40 miles per hour. It is equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear. Razak is now engaged in constructing a wind tunnel to test models of the plane. Brush is being assisted by three seniors in the department who are helping with stress analysis and structural design of the plane, as class projects.
Shack Enrollment Increases
Dr. Frank Nelson, recently with the American legation in Norway, will speak at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26, in Fraser theater. His subject will be "I Saw Norway Fight Back."
Diplomat Nelson To Speak On War in Norway
It was during his stay in Norway, while he was visiting professor of American literature at the University of Oslo, that Norway was invaded by the Germans.
Dr. Nelson continued his teaching for some time after the invasion and then took up duties with the American legation at Oslo. He was about to return to America when the Germans arrested him and imprisoned him in a Gestapo jail in Oslo. Secretary Hull was finally able to obtain his release after seven months.
Dr. Nelson is now on a lecture tour with the Norwegian lecture bureau, which is sponsored by the Norwegian legation in Washington, D.C.

Debate Tigers Tonight
Students of the University of Missouri and of this University will meet in a dinner debate at 6:30 tonight at a regular meeting of the Co-op Club, a Lawrence civic organization, to argue the subject of whether a young man graduating from college has a fair opportunity under our present economic system.
Speakers from Missouri will be Nellie Latimer and Seymour Topping. Lois Ann Lehman and John Waggoner will represent Kansas.
Affirmative side of the question will be taken by the Missouri team; Kansas will take the negative.
League of Nations On Grill Tonight At 'World At War'
H. B. Chubb, associate professor of history, will lecture tonight to the third meeting of the World at War class, beginning on-the-dot at 7:30 p.m. in Fraser theater.
Professor Chubb will speak on "The League of Nations: A Record of Successes and Failures."
No Official Note On Summer Camp
At this time the U.S. Army must guard against giving out information indiscriminately, Col. James S. Dusenbury stressed.
In his lecture Chubb will discuss primarily the past experiences of the League of Nations with view to the possible lessons to the planning of the peace at the conclusion of the present war.
Those attending the lecture are asked to be on time. After the first lecture in the series was interrupted throughout by latecomers entering the auditorium.
Although the Associated Press ran a story several days ago saying that there would be no 6-week camp period for advanced R.O.T.C. students this summer, officers of the local R.O. T.C. unit have released no statement regarding the summer camp situation.

During past summers advanced R.O.T.C. students who had completed their junior year in the University and were ready for their senior year have spent six weeks in camp.

Any transfers of officers and all Army training plans, as well as movements of troops, are military secrets, he said.
"Now is the time to educa on the effects of war," Dusenba in the University should understand the government's position on matters of vital information, and should see why many government activities must be clouded by secrecy.

Skit to Top
Concert Bill
Highlighting the combined concert of the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs Monday night in Hoch auditorium will be the musical skit written especially for the program by Jack Laffer, graduate of '38 and, at present, announcer for WJR, Detroit.
The skit is entitled "Joe College" and is set in the living room of a men's boarding house here on the Hill.
Men's Glee Club members taking part in the skit as the students will be Robert Schober, Deane Tack, Charles Avey, John Hayne, D on Mitchell, Scott Harvey, Willard Harris, Gerald McDonald, David Hax and Warren Williams. A chorus composed of the remainder of the Glee Club will also take part.
The closing three numbers of the concert program will be sung by the combined Men's and Women's Glee Clubs. They will sing the trio of three of the most familiar K. U. songs, "I'm a Jayhawk" "Onward Kansas," and "Alma Mater."
Fireside Forum To Dine and Dance
Give Research Exam To Student Pilots
The Fireside Forum, Congregational student organization, will sponsor a supper and dance at the church from 9 to 12 following the basketball game with Oklahoma A. and M. Friday night, Miss Ruth Mason, secretary of the church, announced today.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott will be the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the forum at 7 o'clock Sunday evening at the church. His subject will be "Careers in a Crisis." This will be the third in a series of talks sponsored by the Forum.
Local tests were directed by A. H Turney, professor of education, with the help of Edward E. Brush, associate professor of aeronautical engineering, and Kenneth Razak, instructor of mechanical engineering. The exams were highly specialized. One of the examinations resembled the University psychological entrance examination.
Students in the primary Civil Pilot Training course were given a series of five examinations Tuesday night in Marvin hall in cooperation with the American Research Council and the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
The American Research Council has entered into a contract with the C.A.A. to determine a better way of selecting and training pilots. The research tests were prepared to be given to student pilots throughout the country by Dr. J. W. Dumlap of the University of Rochester.
Rare Bird a Sleepy-Head Dyche Gets Owl
Everyone knows that owls sleep in the daytime, but it's real news when someone finds one that sleeps both day and night.
George Rinker, college junior and bird enthusiast, while on a bird study course field trip not long ago, saw a fairly rare saw-whet owl perched in a tree above him. This was at 10 o'clock in the morning. Not having a gun with him, Rinker left the bird
and travassed the seven and one-half miles back to Lawrence.
He returned to the spot beneath the tree at 2:30 that afternoon, gun in hand, and wishing that he might see the owl again.
There, directly above him, and in exactly the same position, sat the owl.
Rinker stated that he would "almost swear" that the bird hadn't moved a fraction of a feather since that morning.
After shooting the owl and bringing it back to Dyche museum, where Rinker spends a great deal of his time, he inquired into the rarity of his kill and found that this was only the fifth instance that one of the birds had been found in the state of Kansas.
The first saw-whet owl reported in the state was in 1886, in Douglas county; the second was in 1923 in Donian county; the third was in Douglas county in 1940; the fourth was also found in this county but the date was not recorded; and the

Forum Weighs U.S.-Britain Agreement
Chancellor Deane W. Malott served as moderator, with John Waggoner taking the affirmative side, and Merrill Peterson, the negative. The program was sponsored by Forums board.
Whether the eight points of the Atlantic charter are sufficient means to establish world peace is still undecided, but at least the students and faculty who attended the first Forums discussion broadcast over KF-KU's weekly program, "America in Crisis," last night in the Men's lounge of the Memorial Union building, have new ideas about the charter and its implications.
Presenting the European plans for reconstruction, Waggoner stressed the need for world federation and a solution to the three problems which would face the world after the war: debt, depression, and war.
Sets Out Principles
Waggoner opened his case by stating that the charter, drawn up by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in mid-ocean Aug. 14, 1941, was far from being a set of procedures, and that it was a mere set of principles on which the United States and Great Britain should base their hopes "for a better future of the world."
Points four, five, and eight, which deal with economic advancement and disarmament, Waggoner considers vague, but clutches at the idea of a world organization in which there are political as well as economic means for sound post-war reconstruction. Waggoner quoted Anthony Eden's two fundamental principles of no nation's aggressing or being in economic jeopardy, and stated that in Russia and England there is a merging of ideologies.
Discuss World Federation
Merrill Peterson, speaker for the negative side of the question, challenged the efficacy of the Atlantic charter by an analogy to Wilson's 14

Results of War
Uniform for Civilians
Is Suggested
Hollywood — (UP) — The wartime necessity of conserving wool is an opportunity for men to break away from traditional conservative clothing styles, Leslie Howard, the well-dressed British film star, believes.
"I think men would welcome a comfortable, standardized garment, and if clothes rationing comes in America, they will have the excuse to try the ex- periment."omy suit looks like a vest with
The actor already has designed what he describes as a "civilian uniform for men" and has had several outfits made up by his tailor. It consists of a serge suit and trousers cut along military lines but worn like a slack suit.
"The necessity of conserving materials might help men to get away from the styles they have been wearing for generations," Howard continued. 'We might develop some sort of a civilian uniform—something comfortable and smart-looking that would put all males in the same style class.'
He pointed to the "economy suit" which had its first showing this month in New York. The coat of the economy suit looks like a vest with sleeves on. It has no collar or lapels and no pocket flaps. The trousers are narrower in the legs, cuffless and pleatless.
At any rate, Howard says, there is bound to be a standardization of all men's clothing. Instead of selecting 10 best-dressed males each year, the country will have 70,000,000 masculine fashion plates.
The suit uses 2 5-8 yards of material per suit instead of the usual 31-2 yards.
Howard gave his views while working on Columbia's war drama, "The Invaders," in which he co-stars with Laurence Oliver and Raymond Massey. He said he would be glad to wear any type of civilian uniform designed for war use.
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, spoke at a luncheon meeting of the Kansas City Atheneum in Kansas City. The program was divided into departments of educational subjects.

Chekhov Play Reveals New Theater Technique
Michael Chekhov's current production of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," which will be presented in Hoch auditorium Feb. 25, is the fifth version of the lusty comedy which Chekhov has produced and directed.
The four other presentations of the play directed by the former leader of the second Moscow Art theater were given from 1930 to 1933 in Berlin, Paris, Riga, Latvia, and Kaunas, Lithuania. The current offer
The Chekhov theater studio emphasized in "Twelfth Night" the two dominant themes which Shakespeare put into the lines and situations: the romantic love theme and the theme of the joy of life. Imaginative use of music, color, and movement give the production rhythm and emotion that heightens the lines and situations of the play.
In the modern presentation all scenery is moved by the actors in front of the audience. Scenes are moved from indoors to a garden, to the street, and back again to the interior. This new treatment of the technical problem permits a continuance of action through the play.
Activity tickets will admit students to the performance which will be given one night only. This is the third production sponsored by the department of speech and drama this year.
Never Too Old for Honors
Salem, Ore.—(UP)—At the age of 92, Miss Ellen Chamberlin has been presented with an honorary doctor of Letters degree by Willamette University.
Miss Chamberlin is the oldest alumna of the oldest institution of higher education in the West, which this year is celebrating it 100th anniversary.
Miss Chamberlain came to Oregon from Michigan in 1857 and entered Willamette in 1864, when Waller Hall, second building on the campus, was just being built. Graduation exercises were held in the unfinished building the following year. Miss Chamberlin remembers seeing piles of brick made from clay dug up and baked on the site of the new building.
In 1868, Miss Chamberlin was graduated and joined the faculty as an instructor.
Naval Hero's Home To Be Preserved
Burlington, N.J.—(UP)—The little brick house in which Capt. James Lawrence, one of America's great naval heroes, was born in 1787, will be purchased by the State of New Jersey and maintained by the state commission on historical sites.
Lawrence gained immortality in defeat. In June, 1813, his ship, the Chesapeake, was defeated in a desperate battle with H.M.S. Shannon. Fortunately wounded, Lawrence uttered the words, "Don't give up the ship," as he being carried below decks. The phrase has become a byword, typifying the spirit and tradition of the navy.
Prohibitionist
★ ★ ★
To Curb Wets
Granite Falls, Minn.-(UP)-Andrew Volstead, "father of Prohibition," has been asked to lead a court fight to prevent establishment of a saloon in his home town.
As a result of a peculiar set of circumstances, Granite Falls—county seat of a dry county—has been granted permission by the state attorney general to turn wet. This, drys claim, is in direct contradiction to state local option laws.
The circumstances are these:
The town is divided by the Minnesota river which forms the county line. Yellow Medicine county, of which Granite Falls in the county seat, voted dry at the last county option election. Chippewa county, in which the eastern portion of the town falls, went wet.
The wet faction in the dry half of town therupon petitioned state attorney general J. A. A. Burnquist asking exemption from the county option and requesting a special election to determine whether a municipal liquor store could be established. The election, held in January, approved the liquor store movement.
Results of the election, however, placed the dry county in the position of operating, through its county seat, a liquor store in cooperation with a wet county.
It also created a furor in the dry population of the town.
Dry leaders in Yellow Medicine county have called on the aging former congressman, sponsor of the Volstead Act, to "vindicate the sincerity of his prohibition stand" by heading an appeal to the state supreme court.
The regular student musical recital of the School of Fine Arts was presented at 3:30 this afternoon in Frank Strong auditorium.
Three piano solos were played by Eugene Jennings, Edward Utley, and Helen Goode. They played, respectively, "Scherzo in C Sharp Minor," "Ballade in G Minor," and the last movement of Brahms" "Concerto in D Minor."
Students Present Recital Today
Two vocal solos were presented,
"Goodbye" by Tosti was sung by
Mary Elizabeth Mudd, and "Non so
plu cosa son" from "Le Nozze
digarro" by Mozart, by Nina Wadley.
Charlotte Loomis and Lucile Loeb each presented a violin solo, "Legende" by Bohm and "Adagio from Concerto No. 9" by DeBeriot.
Orchestral accompaniment on a second piano was by Prof. Jan Chiauspso, instructor of piano.
Cycle Corps Filled By Experts
Springfield, Ill. —(UP)— J. E. "Buck" Kidd, motorcycle racing promoter, said today the U. S. army is filling a vital need for hard-riding motorcycle riders with star performers from the racing circuit.
Tough, experienced riders to handle the army's estimated 30,000 cycles are scarce, he said, and the government is drawing heavily upon the racing fraternity.
Some of the best competitive riders will miss next summer's races, including the championship Illinois state fair events Aug. 23, due to mounting army enlistments, he said.
Kidd's son, Jim, is a staff sergeant in the 106th motorized cavalry at Camp Livingston, La. He was awarded this rank, highest for noncommissioned officers, seven days after enlisting.
"American riders haven't been able to buy a motorcycle for 15 months," he said, "but when the war is over this country will be a motorcycle-minded nation."
He said the motorcycle may be the "answer to petroleum coordinator Harold L. Ickes' prayers, because the stock cycle gets 65 miles to the gallon."
Dean Smith Attends Education Meetings
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, left yesterday for San Francisco where he will attend a number of related educational meetings.
He will participate in the meetings of the American Association of School Administration, National Association of Colleges and Departments of Education in state universities and land grant colleges, National Society for Curriculum Study, and other related meetings.
While in San Francisco Dean Smith will address the University of Kansas alumni at a dinner meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the city Y.M.C.A. building. He plans to return to the University Feb.25.
Texas Suffers From Teacher Shortage
Austin, Tex., (UP)—The need for more teachers in Texas is so urgent that some schools may have to curtail programs.
Miss Miriam W. Dozier, secretary of the teachers' appointment committee at the University of Texas, announced that in December there were more than 2,200 calls for teachers, almost 100 per cent increase over December, 1940.
Some schools "desperately" need instructors, with a few asking for as many as eight new teachers, she said.
Commerce, mathematics and science teachers are in greatest demand, although there is a storage of English, history and physical education instructors. Hundreds of teachers went into defense work before war was declared, and the exodus increased when hostilities broke out, said Miss Dozier.
"World at War" class members and visitors are asked to be on time tonight.
Believes Health Program Essential to Nation
"I believe that some kind of physical conditioning program would be a good thing," Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, replied today, "but I don't believe that it would be a panacea for all the ills that affect our nation today. Neither do I believe that such a program should be confined to the younger generations alone," he continued.
Although agreeing that physical exercise is important, Dr. Canuteson listed it as only one of the factors entering into a health program. ___
Many athletes, who devote much of their time to strenuous physical exercise, are not in perfect condition. Were mere physical conditioning the answer, these men should be eligible, physically, for service in any branch of the armed service. Actually, many are not. A few members of football, basketball, and similar sport groups are not physically fit for acceptance by any of the services.
Other common causes for rejection for military service can be traced to defects which have been neglected in childhood. Many minor defects, which could have been remedied while the individual was a child have been allowed to develop into permanent, if not serious defects.
Dr. Canuteson said that some program of physical conditioning probably would be beneficial, but it should not be considered merely as an emergency measure. If continued into peacetime, such a program would eventually contribute much to improving the public health.
One of the factors upon which physical fitness depends is proper nutrition. This is equally important with physical exercise. "Many persons do not know what to eat, and some of those who do, will not eat properly." Dr. Canuteson said. "Many of the defects causing rejection from selective service are traceable to dietary deficiencies as well as to lack of physical exercise," he added.
Announce New Choir Members
D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts and director of the University A Cappella choir announces the appointment of the following new students to membership in the choral organization for the second semester, following the withdrawal of several of the former members from school.
Betty Louise Gunnels, college freshman, first soprano; Geraldine Shaw, college sophomore, and Florence Harris, college sophomore, second soprano; Harry Hudson Martis, college junior, second tenor; Wm. J. Moorman, freshman engineer, first bass; Eugene Jones, college junior, first bass; and Bill Miller, second bass.
The choir is scheduled to sing in the All-Musical weapers on March 15, in its annual home concert here on April 20, and at the Music Week festival beginning May 4.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Word coming from Manhattan this morning from Dr. H. H. King, chairman of the Big Six faculty representatives, indicates that the freshman rule regarding the eligibility of athletes will be revised to allow freshmen to compete in athletics in the Big Six for the duration of the war.
Of course, his opinion is not final nor by any means is it any indication that the rule will be passed but it is a vital point to consider. Rumors have it that the majority of the Big Six faculty representatives favor the abolition of the present rule and it is a known fact that over half of the athletic directors desire that freshmen be made eligible.
HOW WILL KANSAS BE AFFECTED
Whether this new rule, if passed, will help or hinder Kansas is cause for considerable argument. There will be greater competition than ever for high school stars and Kansas most certainly is not in any too good a position when it comes to bargaining with other schools for red-hot talent. However, information from a reliable source states that Kansas is already set to lose two of its greatest prospects if the Big Six does not put through the new rule for these players will attend the school which will allow them to play their first year. Another good prospect, Doug Brown, has been lost by Kansas to the V-1 class of the Naval Reserves. Brown was all-state fullback at Wichita North this fall and was ticketed to be a Jayhawker to join Don Comeaux but the Navy proved to be a better recruiter.
Wallace Wade, football coach of the Rose Bowl defeated Duke Blue Devils, is definitely opposed to freshman competition. "It's true there's going to be a dearth of football material because of the war." Wade said, "but there are more important things today than winning football games."
Here are Wade's reasons for not liking the freshman idea: 1. The kids need a year of conditioning before they're ready for the varsity grind. Otherwise, they're more likely to get hurt. 2. Freshmen have a hard enough job simply becoming acclimated to college life. Enough of them flunk out as it is. 3. Because of the war, most colleges are trying to graduate students in a hurry. This means freshmen will take additional studies, and football would cramp their school work.
WHAT GREAT LAKES IS REALLY LIKE
One of the best cracks of the year was delivered at the Great Lakes-Kansas basketball game in Kansas City recently when the Sailor's good-will ambassador told the audience the reasons for the formation of the Navy team and concluded by hoping that "next year we hope to be playing in the Oriental League for the championship of Tokyo."
Although much has been written about the great collection of All-American stars which have been collected under the Great Lakes banner, little has appeared of the environment under which they work.
The naval station, established in 1904, is located at Great Lakes, Ill., about 35 miles north of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan. It is considered the most important land unit of the Navy. It supplies about 35 per cent of the enlisted personnel who man the battle wagons of the fleet and now houses 11,000 men. A total of 50,000 is expected by Spring.
Coach of the squad is Lieut. J. Russell Cook, former DePaul University star athlete, who turned out many championship teams during his 10-year sta yat Central Normal college after serving in World War I. In 1929 his team, starring the Reeves brothers, went to the quarter-finals of the A.A.U. tournament in Kansas City.
ILLINOIS STILL LOOKS GOOD
The Big Ten title was seemingly decided Monday night when Illinois edged out her closest competitors, Minnesota, 41 to 37. That game gave the Illini a record of 9 wins and 1 loss while Minnesota dropped to third with 8 wins and 4 losses.
In second place now is Indiana with 8 victories and 3 defeats. The schedule seems to favor the Indianans to a slight degree. They face Ohio State, Minnesota, and Northwestern at home on the Fieldhouse floor and go to Iowa City Monday night to face the Hawkeyes. That will undoubtedly be their toughest game for the contests at Bloomington have a habit of always winding up in favor of the Hoosiers.
Illinois on the other hand must face Purdue and Wisconsin, two teams tied for fourth place at present, besides having games with Ohio State. (continued to page seven)

Four to two will be the way the seniors stack up when the Jayhawks take the court in Hoch auditorium tomorrow night against Henry Iba's rampaging gang of Oklahoma Aggies.
Returning from last year's runner-up crew in the Missouri Valley are five lettermen; Lonnie Eggleston, J. T. Newman, and Charles Scheffel at forward and Jack Taylor and Bud Millikan at guard. Ralph Miller and T. P. Hunter will be the starting seniors for Kansas.
All of these men are seniors but Scheffel is not a regular. The lone non-letterman in Iba's starting line-up is Lou Steinmeir, a sophomore who played high school basketball at Waydotte in Kansas City.
Will Have N.C.A.A. Bearing
Steinmeir is the tallest man on the squad towering six feet five inches. In a recent summation of outstanding sophomores in the Missouri Valley Steinmeir was named to the first team at center over other sophomore centers Jim Nichols of St. Louis and Ken Perry of Drake.
The Aggies, winners of 29 out of 33 games played in the Missouri Valley Conference in the past three years, are rated as one of the outstanding choices to receive the bid to represent this, the fifth district, in the N.C.A.A. play-offs. The game tomorrow night and the return engagement at Stillwater next Wednesday will undoubtedly be the deciding factors.
Offense Versus Defense
This game will feature a paradox in offensive and defensive tactics. The Jayhawks, boasting the highest scoring team in Big Six history, have averaged 57 points a game in their last three contests, defeating Crieghton, Nebraska, and Iowa State. An average of 51.1 points a game has been compiled by K.U. in seven conference games.
WOMENS' INTRAMURALS
Oklahoma A. and M., on the other hand, has concentrated on holding its opponents' scores down. Victorious over all its Missouri Valley conference foes, A. and M. has held them to an average of 19.3 points a game. Each team goes into the game with only two defeats on its record. Kansas' losses were to Iowa State and the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team, while the Cowboys have been beaten by the towering West Texas Teachers team

Corbin Hall will play the I.W.W. team at 9:00 o'clock tonight in Robinson gymnasium for the womens all-university basketball championship.
Mildred Wells (F), and Altaingham (G), will lead Corbin's undefeated team, backed by Marguerite Demint (F), Phyllis Struble (G), and June Cochren (G).
Lavonne Jacobson, playing forward on I.W.W.'s team, is outstanding for her ball handling and scoring ability, and will probably pace the independents. Teamed with Jacobson will be Martha Traite (F), Marge Rader (F), Evelyn Davison (G), Evelyn Herriman (G), and Irene McAdoo (G).

Freshman Cagers Whip Phi Gam's
"Mitt" Allen's freshman cagers showed their stuff last night by beating the Phi Gam Fiji's, leaders in division I of the intramural basketbail competition, by a score of 49-24. The frosh squad was slow in warming up, but soon started to click. Lack of practice and training told on the Fiji's as the margin of points continued to widen.
Harold "Sparky" McSpadden was the outstanding player on the freshman squad and was continually in the hair of the Phi Gam quintet. An excellent defensive game was played for the frosh by Bill Brill, a good rebound man. Kenny Thompson starred on the offense.
Chain Healy and Swede Olsen played a good offensive game for the Fiji's, while Wally Hfnshaw was their strong defensive factor. The Phi Gam aggregation played good basketball, but were not able to keep pace with the hardened freshmen.
Starters for the Phi Gam's were Roscoe Hambric, Healy, McSpadden, John Conley and Olsen. Bruce Whittenberger and Hinshaw completed the Fiji squad. This lack of reserve power was a decided disadvantage as Allen used 13 players during the game. The freshmen who opened hostilities were Thompson, Brill McSpadden, Bill Short, and Otto Schnellbacher. Others who saw action were Bob Dole, Bud Smith, Stan Hansen, Armand Dixon, Bill Palmer, Curtis Hinshaw, Bob Corder, and Paul Carpenter.

A never-say-die Phi Delta Theta five last night caught mighty Newman I on an off-night and sent the previously undefeated Clubmen crashing down to defeat, 21 to 20.
After trailing most of the way, the hard-fighting Phi Delt's came from behind in the last quarter to take the lead, and then successfully stalled off a frenzied Newman attack. Chuck Hunter led the victor's attack with nine points, while Junius Penny was the Newman of $ ^{\circ} $
fensive star with four field goals.
Missing from the Newman lineup were three stars—Tony Coffin, Marvin Vandeveer, and T. Hare. Paul Hardman, starting guard, fouled out in the last half.
At halftime the Newman quintet held a narrow 10 to 9 lead. Sig Ep's Lose Thriller
In another thriller, a favored Beta Theta Pi squad had to come from behind to nip Sigma Ph Epsilon in the last 20 seconds of their game 29 to 28.
Once again it was the Beta's version of Frank Merriwell, Ransom Bennett, who saved the day for them. The former Ottawa high ace was responsible for both the tying field goal and winning free throw.
The losing Sig Ep's had led all the way previously to Bennett's last minute efforts. Halftime score of the game was 23 to 17 in favor of the Sig Ep's.
Bennett collected 11 points for his night's efforts. John Fletcher aided him with the scoring chores with four field goals. Knute Kresie, Larry Johnston, and Don Widner were the Sig Ep standouts. White Leads Hellhounds
Bob White, fine guard, led a determined Hellhound last half rally to defeat a scrappy Crackerjack squad, 35 to 28. The losers had led 17 to 16 at halftime.
White connected with six baskets, while mate-mate Donn Mosser collected 10 points. Gene Frazier was
the Crackerjack star.
Carruth Hall kept pace with the Hellhounds in the Division III championship scrap by trouncing the Union Fountainees 42 to 17. Carruth was never in danger, leading 22 to 5 at halftime. Glenn St. Aubyn and Mac Frederick garnered

The Blanks defeated the men of Battenfeld Hall 30 to 27 in a hard-fought Division III tilt. Bob Sparling of the Blanks took scoring honors for the game with ten points. His team-mate, Ken Winters, and Warren Lowen of Battenfeld both collected nine points.
Baseball Under Way S-T-R-I-K-E As 14 Men Turn Out
Varsity baseball practice got under way this week with 14 men reporting for workouts. Of the 14 who are out, five are lettermen. Several more prospects are expected when actual practice on the diamond starts next week.
According to "Knute" Kresie, the prospects are fine for getting a good schedule for the coming season.
The squad at present includes outfielders Dean Martin, senior letterman, Curly Hayden, Calvert Winter, Bob Goodell, and Larry Johnston, also a letterman. Otto Teichgraeber and Marshall Hulett are shortstops. Two of the bases will be covered by lettermen with John Krum at third and Del Green playing second base. Denzel Gibbens and Steve Meade hold down infield positions at present. "Knute" Kresie will be the starting pitcher, and his substitute Bill Atwell. Warren Hodges, to date, has no competition as catcher. Kresie is the other returning letterman. Following the close of basketball season, Ray Evans is expected to join the lineup as are several other cagers.
Tonight in the feature game the fine Pi Kappa Alpha squad will again take the floor at 10 o'clock against the Alpha Kappa Psi outfit.

The KANSAN Comments...
Our War-Minded Congress
The congressmen are at it again. This time they are studying a bill, which if passed in its present form, would be a blow at freedom of speech and the press.
The bill is evidently designed to replace the present "voluntary" censorship of the people, approved by the President. It was introduced by Attorney-General Biddle, for the purpose of repressing discussion of subjects of secret or military nature, and carries a heavy penalty of fine or imprisonment for violation. Such a bill, specifically worded, would undoubtedly be of aid to our war program, but the bill, as it exists, is so general in its wording that a reporter could be imprisoned for the mention of the moral turpitude of a Congressman, if that legislator wished to classify the information as secret.
Congress has been our biggest bottleneck since our entry in the war. Scarcely had the smoke cleared away from Pearl Harbor when certain members of Congress demanded a court martial of the commanding officers. This was before any facts were definitely known in this country. As it turned out, they were justified, but it would have been the same, whether or no.
Following this enterprise, the solons took a deep breath and voted themselves a pension plan. At the same time, they were howling about record-breaking expenditures. As the public rose in protest against this measure, many of the congressmen began to backtrack. Our own Arthur Capper admitted he had voted for the measure, but defended himself by saying that he didn't know for what he had voted.
This heart-warming incident was followed by an uproar over the appointment of Melvin Douglas and Mayris Chaney to positions in OCD. Invective and charges of inefficiency and meddling were heaped on the head of Mrs. Roosevelt. The main objective of the "exposure" was to settle attention and public censure on someone other than congress.
With the administration facing criticism because of its conduct of the war to date, it seems nearly time that congress starts to do something constructive. Or have our senators and representatives lose sight of the fact that we still have elections here?
Why Not Knuckle Down?
There have been recent accusations that the American people are not taking this war seriously enough. Even our allies in England have been told of the complacency over here. This accusation makes some people angry, but the real trouble lies in the fact that the criticism is true.
We certainly cannot boast of our conduct in the war up to the present. We have lost heavily in the Far East. We must share the blame with England for the Japanese successes in Singapore, Wake, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Malaya.
There is no indication that the war with Japan will soon be over—at present we cannot even be sure of ultimate victory. And the fact remains, that should Japan be knocked out, we still face Germany and Italy—the former a very able foe, the latter of some nuisance value.
Present military plans call for an army of slightly less than four million men by the end of 1942. That is a lot of man-power, but ten million or more American boys will probably be needed in this struggle before its end. To
train, feed, and equip these men is a tremendous problem, and one we have only begun to solve.
The war budget set by President Roosevelt is a staggering sum, calling for an all-time high in war expenditures. The money is here, but the people are going to "go without" to a much greater extent than they now realize to pay for the war.
Our main hopes lie in the overwhelmingly superior production facilities and raw materials in this country, and the fact that our pre-war high standards of living will absorb much of the shock of "going without." But the American people must realize that we are still very much on the defensive. We will not be prepared for an offensive war for many months.

Rock Chalk Talk BETTY WEST
While entertaining several Pi K. A. pledges on an early morning ride last week, actives Bob Royer, Bob Green, and Charles McVey, grew disgusted when they were beset with motor troubles a few miles from their destination. Not knowing that they were eight miles northwest of Lawrence and having been ditched by the freshmen who were more familiar with the country than they, McVey, Royer, and Green couldn't even qualify for the Boy Scout cross country, as they groped their way home.
Delta Gamma freshmen have a new and equisite means of torturing their actives. They render goodnight songs in heinous four-part harmony with a lusty good will every night in the freshman dorm. That is, until some active's nerves go pffft, and she comes down to muffle them.
Fred Mitchelson, of the Baxter Springs branch of the family, is being suspected by some of the members of his class in elementary equitation, of pulling something or other over Gayle Mott's eyes. The class is primarily intended for those souls who are so ignorant about horseflesh that they think withers is a disease peculiar to seniors. This guy under discussion rides like something out of Vol. II of Errol Flynn, and his classmates are afeared he's pushing the grade average up.

In these critical times engineers at Western Electric are at work harder than ever developing advances in the art of manufacture.
These are being applied in producing the latest types of military communications equipment now being turned out on a large scale for our fighting forces on land,at sea and in the air.
All this is in addition to our greatly increased job as manufacturer, purchaser and distributor for the Bell System. Meeting the abnormal telephone needs of America at war is a tremendous task, complicated by shortages of many materials. Even record-breaking production cannot fill all civilian requirements now, for Uncle Sam comes first!

Jap Air Arm Bombs Darwin In Australia
BY UNITED PRESS
Bomb Harbor
Sydney, Australia, Feb. 19 — Japanese planes, opening the attack on the Australian continent, savagely bombed Darwin, key north coast defense base, for one hour today and damaged military installations.
The Japanese planes in their first direct attack on continental territory, concentrated on Darwin itself and on shipping in the harbor, the only north coast port, a communique of the Royal Australian air force said.
Details were not available, but it was hoped here that the anti-aircraft batteries which had been rushed to the Darwin area as soon as the war started had accounted for some of the attacking planes. Curtin Announces Raid
Prime Minister John Curtin had made the first announcement of the raid personally, from his sick bed at a hospital where he is recovering from acute gastritis.
"Australia has now experienced direct physical contact with the war," he said. "The policy of the government is total mobilization for all Australia. Until we have put the necessary machinery into motion, all Australians must voluntarily answer the government's call. Everything must be given, completely, to the nation."
Japanese planes made reconnaissance flights over New Guinea, between the Bismarcks and the continent, the communique said, but dropped no bombs.

Japanese Retreat In Thailand
The veteran Chinese troops had been thrown into action in a vital area in an attempt to protect the Burma road of supply on which a Japanese army to the south was encroaching.
Chinese forces have met and defeated Thailand troops in Northern Burma, and the Thailanders are retreating on Cheing-Mai, an important base 80 miles on the Thailand side of the frontier, it was announced officially today.
Chungking, China, Feb.19 - (UP)
Persistent reports that the Chinese had met the Thailanders were not confirmed until this afternoon when it was announced that a battle was now in progress.
(continued from page four)
Chinese in Pursuit
It was asserted that the Thailanders had collapsed in the first phase of the fighting, and that the immediate Chinese problem was one of pursuit.
China's move, while it was already fighting a long and bloody war of its own against a great Japanese army in China, had come while its leader, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, was in India in the interest of United Nations.
Newspapers reported in special dispatches from Kunming, Chinese terminal of the Burma road, that the Thailanders fought fiercely at first but that the Chinese, driving into them mercilessly, had routed them and were already chasing the fleeing enemy to the Thailand side of the border.
Northwestern, and Iowa. The last two will be the toughest and both of them are away from home. Both Illinois and Indiana wind up their conference schedules March 7.
—FCR VICTORY: BUY BONDS—
Kai-Shek in India
Now Kansas State comes out with the word that when spring practice starts at Aggieville every man in school will be requested to go out. This is being done for the two-fold purpose of making the Cow-college boys physically fit for Uncle Sam's Army and also to supplement Hebbs Adams' riddled football machine.
Coming farther north, Oklahoma started its practice a week ago Monday. Besides the regular varsity men, the Sooners have inaugurated a junior Varsity which is for players not able to make the Varsity but who are nevertheless sweet little hallplayers.
Johnny Kotz, the high scoring Wisconsin forward who performed so brilliantly last year in the N.C.A.A. play-offs in Kansas City, was just another player Monday night against Purdue. The Badgers, in undisputed fourth place at the time, were beaten by the Boilermakers 40 to 34. Kotz, who leads the Big Ten in scoring, had an average of 16.1 points a game until Monday night. In that battle he made just one basket an done free throw to drop his average to 14.8 points.
COMING ATTRACTION FOR HILL FANS
The Big Ten has always raved about its high scoring teams. This seemingly must be a fare for the conference this year is getting highly excited over the possibility that Minnesota may establish the "amazing" average of 47.1 points a game in conference play. Last year the National championship Wisconsin team set a new Big Ten scoring record at 44.6 points a game and thought they really had something. Four teams in the Western Conference are ahead of this mark now.
It must be Spring indeed with all the football practicing that is going on over the country at present. Texas A. and M. got the jump on most of the teams by starting practice Jan. 27. It wasn't long, however, until teams all over the South were working out. Texas Christian started practice Monday and the same day Dana Bible had an intra-squad game at Austin for his Texas Longhorns.
But where does that put our Jayhawkers? We have an average of 51.1 points a game right now and that truly is amazing. Of course, it is extremely doubtful if the Jayhawks will be able to continue this average but there certainly is a strong likelihood that the conference record held by Oklahoma at 46.2 will fall before the season is closed.
Wipe Out Jap Regiment In Bataan Battle
BY FRANK HEWLETT
United Press Correspondent
In the battle, which is now in the mopping up stage after a week of savage and difficult fighting on the American left wing, the Filipino troops whom MacArthur organized and trained, answered the most vital question of the campaign—whether they would be able to stand up in battle against veteran Japanese regulars.
With General MacArthur's army in the Philippines, Feb. 19 - Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Philippine troops have wiped out a Japanese regiment in the most successful American counter-attack of the war, and frustrated what was to have been the start of a major Japanese drive.
This counterattack, the largest and most successful of the war, was proved by captured Japanese documents to have spoiled Japanese plans for a big drive.
They answered it with a positive and inspiring affirmative. Side by side with the famous Philippine scouts who are a part of the American regular army, they met and disposed of a crack Japanese regiment including its commanding colonel.
The Filipinos, many of them recruits, fought with the bayonet and hand grenade coolly and cunningly under their young American officers, who by personal bravery set the example as they battled beside the hardened, seasoned scouts.
The battle was fought in some of the densest jungle of the Bataan peninsula.
Our troops pushed back for several kilometers a deeply entrenched Japanese spearhead, and cut off the retreat of the regiment holding it.
Jayhawker Contest Starts Today
In looking over the future bookings for the Jayhawker the management discovered unlimited possibilities in the picture titles. Thus a contest has been instigated with the purpose of taxing the ingenuity of any who wish to enter.
Prizes of a three month, two month and one month pass to the Jayhawker will be awarded the first three winners. Below are listed the bookings of future pictures starting Sunday, February 22 to March 28. They are listed in order of their appearance. The person' who uses every word in the entire list of coming attractions and adding the least new words to make a statement with understandable continuity will be the possessor of the prizes listed above.
Starting with the Picture Sunday, February 22 the following pictures are to be used in the statement.
"The Man Who Came to Dinner," "Lady For a Night," Bedtime Story," "New Wine," "Shanghai Gesture," "International Lady," "Roxie Hart," "Paris Calling," "To Be or Not To Be," "Dangerously They Live."
The contest starts today and ends at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 24. All entries must be turned in at the Jayhawker by that time.
The task was to attack and take a prepared Japanese defense line. I have just been over the battlefield, and was amazed at the intricate system of tunnels connecting well-concealed trenches. It required intrepid and expert fighting men to take it. There was no question that the Philippine scouts belonged in this military category, and the Filipino infantrymen showed that they, too, were in it after less than two and one half months of warfare.

Military Water Routine Quack Club Ballet
Members of Quack club, women's honorary swimming organization, presented a water ballet this afternoon in Robinson gymnasium. The ballet followed the regular meeting of the club at 4:30 p.m.
The first number was a military routine in the water with an accompaniment of martial music. Participating were Marjorie Rader, Betty Burton, Evelyn Herriman, Marty Shartel, Lura Smith, Shirley Davis, Nada Clifton, Gladys Bitter, Miriam Bartlett, Betty Gsell, and Cynthia $ ^{*} $ Gilmer.
Betty Allen and Lura Smith presented a duet number, and a group of eight swam in formation to a waltz number. The music was headed by Margaret Whitehead, president of the club. Others in the waltz were Jean Ott, Gladys Hawkins, Lucille Gillie, Lucille Comley, Peggy Benson, Peggy Ballard, and Betty Allen. A solo by Lura Smith was the closing number of the program.
The club plans to present a much larger water ballet in March, which will include all 30 members of the club. This program will be repeated in April for the Kansas high school play day.
How the Mind
H.M. Yankham Gambles Falls Into Error
H. M. Yankham was, above all things, a staunch patriot. He was also a firm believer in tradition and custom—wouldn't think of smoking anything but Luckies, refused to let any force of man or nature prevent him from playing 18 holes of golf every Saturday afternoon, and was firmly entrenched in the belief that coffee tasted like so much bilge water unless sweetened with two spoonsful of sugar, no more, no less.
So, as you might guess, the sugar rationing business was somewhat of a blow to H. M. Yankham. All the boys of the Club voluntarily decided to use a maximum of one teaspoonful of sugar in their coffee, as their part in the defense program. This was the kind of Club that didn't tolerate radicals or exhibitionists, and only the best people in town were included in membership, so Yankham tried to choose the lesser of two evils, and eliminate the second spoonful of sugar. But it just didn't work out. The man was in agony every meal.
Crucial Moment
Finally, in desperation, Yankham decided on a bold move. Those fellows could go to hell, he was going to take a second spoonful. But at the last moment, his courage almost failed. Two elderly ladies were watching from the table across the aisle. Should he sneak the sugar into his cup while they weren't
watching, or do it quite openly? He glanced at them again. Still staring at him, were they? With a cold, determined expression on his face, Yankham reached for the sugar bowl, and—
Next morning, he was rather surprised at the coolness with which the men at the office treated him. Most peculiar. Couldn't be that sugar business. Only people that saw him were the two elderly ladies. Then he heard the two fellows in the Accounts Receivable A to C Department talking: "Old Yankham a Nazi agent. My God, who'd ever think so. A boy with his standing selling out to a dirty bunch like that." Nazi, hell. Didn't he buy a defense bond every week? Wasn't he air raid warden of Maple Street?
Then the evening paper came out with a banner headline:
H. M. YANKHAM EXPOSED AS JAPANESE SPY Usually reliable authorities state that
Authority On South America To Visit Campus
- THAT LOVABLE... LAUGHABLE'LADY EVE' COUPLE...IN A MERRY MARITAL MARATHON!
prominent business man is actually Hideki Yakamoto a Jap agent.
What next? This afternoon he was a Nazi agent, now he became a Jap spy with an unpronouncable name. Those little old ladies must have done a Paul Revere act all over town, spreading the good word. Yankham Checks Out
Well, might as well wait for the thing to blow over. Gossip always burns out. Tonight he could listen to the symphony orchestra and relax. Yankham was just getting into his overcoat when he heard a crowd gathering outside the house. He could hear them chanting "Lynch him, get the ...!" Then the door was smashed into splinteres as the mob surged into the living room. In the distance, Yankham could hear the police siren, but he knew they would never arrive in time—

Appearing in the latest issue of the "Virginia Law Review" is an article by James B. Smith, professor of law, on the relationship of government to society. The discussion is 80 pages long and is entitled "Jurisprudence and Constitutional Canon-Re to the States and to Congress."
In the opening sentence, Professor Smith gives the main purpose of the article. He states that "history records an instinctive natural desire in man for the expression of an inherent nobility, for decency in the intimacy of his family, and the opportunity for intellectual growth and wholesome expression." He maintains that all efforts of self-governing people along political lines are displays of such "instinctive natural desires."

The test of A. and M.'s defense will come in their ability to hold forwards Ralph Miller and Charlie Black in check. If the Oklahoma team can not do this, its chances of victory will be negligible.
For the last three games, Miller and Black can show a combined average of 34 points a game. With the scoring help that they get from the rest of the team, this makes for quite an impressive total.

Casting For 'Charley's Aunt' Gets Underway
The cast for "Charley's Aunt," comedy in three acts by Brandon Thomas, is being selected by the department of speech and drama for presentation of the play in Fraser theater sometime next month. A definite date for the production has not been decided.
Twelve characters will take part in the comedy, which is being revived throughout the country since the screen version was presented, starring Jack Benny. "Charley's Aunt" is a play of mistaken identity, first presented in 1892. It has been popular from the beginning and in 1898-99 was presented for several hundred nights in the Clury theater in Paris.
The comedy centers around the complications that result when the real Charley's aunt does not show up for a luncheon. To save their faces and to keep from disappointing two women invited to lunch, Jack Chesney and Charley force Lord Fancourt Babberley to disguise as the aunt.
Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech, and director of the play. will probably announce the cast the first of the week.

Clayton Krehbiel was elected president of the School of Fine Arts on the ballots counted at noon today. Victor Kalin is vice-president; Robert Forman, secretary; and Don Fitzgerald, treasurer.
The principal duty of the officers elected jointly by the departments of the School of Fine Arts is to plan and supervise the fine arts banquet in the spring. All officers are fine arts seniors.
The design, drawing and painting students voted Wednesday, while the music students voted Thursday on the candidates chosen to represent both schools.
Students interested intrying out for the Forums Board speech program to be held March 4 should see Mary Frances McAnaw, college senior, or Prof. E. C. Buehler of the department of speech. Six students will be chosen from those entering and these six will be heard over KFKU on March 4. These three teams selected will represent the University at the district Inter-American affairs meeting to be held on the campus March 11.

Whether a brilliant offense can offset an airtight defense will be proved at 7:30 tonight when Henry Iba's Oklahoma Aggies invade Hoch auditorium to tangle with "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers.

Members of the Scabbard and Blade, honorary military fraternity, are making plans for the sale of defense bonds and stamps on the Hill. The complete program for the sales has not been worked out as yet but the organization expects to start the sales in the near future

Ben Matassarin, president of the fraternity, said that the plans called for the placing of a table in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall and possibly a table in Fraser hall for the sale of stamps. These tables would be run by the members of the Scabbard and Blade.
Cowboys have yielded an average of only 19.1 points a contest.
Aggies Use Zone Defense
On offense the A. and M. lads have done better than in many years past. Their average thus far is 37.3 points a game. This season the 38-year old Aggie coach has abandoned the "don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes" style somewhat and has brought more long shots into their game than at any time in the past seven seasons.
AMS
Even with this partial abandonment of their former style of play the Aggies still play one of the most conservative brands of basketball that is imaginable. On defense it is strictly zone all the way and opposing teams have found it nearly impregnable. On offense the Cowboys use a rotating game which endeavors to work the ball in close to the basket before attempting any shots.
In the Wichita game, the Ohio

Women Trouble Both Sexes Air Opinions
Women can usually be heard, especially after a party or while they congregate in the powder room for "repairs," during a dance, to express their candid opinions of the subject of the poor, defenseless man. How this one "can't dance a step" and how that one "really throws a line."
III. 1
As for the boys, great are their chatter sessions that run long into the early hours talking like Casanovas on the subject of women.
But there are some opinions from both sides which pretty well sum up the attitudes of the men and women on the Hill.
Of course none of this discussion gets either side any farther in "re-forming" the other sex.
Men Trouble
The women consider the men a lot of trouble! In fact a lot of girls are often prone to wonder if they're worth just half the trouble they cause.
First of all they're "noisy creatures"
as a feminine writer once put it.
They're "newpaper rattlers," and shower-bath singers, and door-bangers and snorers. And in the intervals between these uproars they say, "Can't we have a little quiet?"
Men seldom want to do anything in particular in the evenings but then—once started howling or playing bridge—they don't want to stop. They hate to dress in evening but are enchanted with the way they look when you have finally talked them into doing so. They make fun at primping girls but they themselves cannot pass a mirror without a glance at "That Handsome Fellow!"
Ah men!
But, there is the other side to this controversy. A author, who no doubt considered himself a connoisseur on women, said that the trouble with them is that first they are too practical. If a woman comes out to help you look at the moonlight, you know she is mentally calculating how many kilowatts the moon is wasting.
"When you meet a woman for the first time and she looks you over from top to toe, as she always does, and a soft light of admiration glows in her eyes, it's not for your manly beauty but for the earning capacity."

New Aeronautical Lab Largest in Middle West
With the pouring of the concrete floor, work has been practically completed on the new aeronautical engineering laboratory under the west side of Memorial stadium.
The lab will be one of the finest for aeronautical engineering in the Middle West. It is located near the University wind tunnel, which is one of the largest in this section of the United States.
Special equipment has been installed especially for the testing of airplane engines and of fuel for airplane motors. New torque stands for mounting motors have been installed, and work on the control house has been completed. Extensions from the heating facilities have been connected with the wind tunnel for research in testing models.
One new motor has been added to the department's equipment, which already contained several motors of older models, mostly contributed by various manufacturing firms. A complete collection of small parts, consisting of castings and forgings, has been donated to the University by the Boeing company which also contributed several large structural components including plywood wings and a complete aluminum alloy fuselage.
Two machines for testing the fatigue strength of sheet metal have been contributed to the department by Lockheed. These machines were developed by Professor Brush when he was a member of the Lockheed engineering staff. Transcontinental and Western Air have given a three-blade constant speed propellor from a DC-3 transport plane, which will absorb 1000 horsepower.
Camp Shelby, Miss. (UP)—The camp quartermaster's salvage office is in the junk business to the tune of about $8,000,000 a year, which goes to the U. S. Treasury.
Fish and Game Film Wednesday
The mating dance of the greater prairie chicken will be the main feature of the color-and-sound film to be seen by the Zoology club of Snow hall next Wednesday. The film is about an hour in length, Fred Kahn, of the county clerk's office, announced today, and is said to be the only one in which this unusual dance is recorded.
Miss Helen De Vault, publicity director of the Forestry, Fish, and Game commission, will show the picture. The film deals with the use of the state fish hatchery and plant at Pratt and with scenes from the quail and pheasant hatcheries. The buffalo and bison refuge near Garden City will also be seen. The film includes views of various state parks in the different counties.
Judge Refers Arrested Man to David in Bible
Detroit, —(UP)— Lloyd Lowe, 38, organizer for an AFL restaurant workers' local, was arraigned before Recorder's Judge Christopher E. Stein on a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon.
"But, your honor," pleaded Lowe, arrested for breaking a window during a recent jurisdictional fight, "a slingshot isn't a dangerous weapon."
"Isn't it?" the judge parried. "I refer you to Samuel: 1-17—you know, David and Goliath."
Candidates For Marine Corps To See Hitt
Word was received today at the registrar's office from Lt. Paul E. Smith of Kansas City, Mo., that all applications for the marine corps reserve must be turned in before March 2, the date set for physical examinations. Students interested should see James K. Hitt, assistant registrar, at once.
The marine corps hopes to enlist for training leading to commissions, twelve seniors, eight juniors, and two sophomores during March.
An applicant must be enrolled as a sophomore, junior or senior in the University. He must be an unmarried citizen of the United States. He must not belong to any other military organization, including army or navy R.O.T.C.
The candidate must pass the physical examination required for appointment to commissioned rank in the regular marine corps, which requires him to be between 66 and 76 inches in height, with weight in proportion to height and age. He must be recommended by the president or dean of his college or university, by one member of the faculty, and by at least three citizens of good standing in the applicant's home community; and must furnish written consent of parents or guardian to enlistment if a minor.
There are qualifications pertaining to degrees which Mr. Hitt will explain those interested.
Lt. Paul E. Smith is the recruiting officer for this territory and his headquarters are in room 243, U.S. court house, Kansas City, Mo. Lieutenant Smith was on the University campus Feb. 11, of this year and talked to students who were interested in the marine corps reserve at that time.

Therapy Course Has National Attraction
From Window Rock, Ariz., to Plainfield, Vt., hundreds of inquiries have been pouring into the University administrative offices requesting information about the course for occupational therapy for women since announcement was made a month ago that the course would be added to the curriculum.
This scene from Michael Chekhov's current production of "Twelfth Night" will appear on the Hill next Wednesday night when the former leader of the Second Moscow Art theater presents the Shakespearean comedy in Hoch auditorium.
Coming from a recent New York engagement, the full production company is touring the Middle West for the first time, playing at colleges and cultural centers.
Taking the parts of outstanding characters in the play will be such
--x-y=6 x+y=1
One of the first out-of-state requests came from the director of the Navajo Indian school at Window Rock, Ariz. Since the course is administered both by the department of design and by the University hospitals in Kansas City, Miss Whitney is becoming uneasy about being able to handle the influx of enrollees in the course this fall. Facilities are sufficient in Lawrence, she pointed out, but the equipment of the University hospitals is likely to become crowded. However, Miss Winslow added that negotiations are under way with other hospitals of the area to take care of a probable overflow. The therapy course consists of three years in the University, and one year and one summer in hospital training.
Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department of design, which will administer the course enabling women to participate in the program of vocational rehabilitation of men wounded or disabled in the current war, has received scores of letters from prospective students all over the country, all eager
to know more about the program inaugurated this semester. In addition, Miss Whitney has received a great number of inquiries from Kansas students, including those now enrolled in the course here in the University, and from Indian students at Haskell Institute.
The University of Kansas is one of six schools in the United States qualified to give certificates for registered occupational therapists. Already the demand for occupational therapists is twice as great as the number of trained young women available. The war is expected to increase that demand. The profession, which uses handicrafts, recreational, and educational activities as treatment prescribed by physicians and administered by trained persons to hasten recovery from injury, disease, or mental sickness, is closely allied with medicine, nursing, physical therapy, and social service.

--of the Aggie style of determined, slow offense and set, zone defense. In the Nebraska game K.U. took 90 shots and Nebraska banged away 56 times.
Henry Iba, the grayish-looking man who will pit his masterminding skill against "Phog" Allen tonight in the basketball extravaganza in Hoch auditorium, is quite the man. Not only for his coaching ability which is recognized nation-wide but also for his qualities as a diplomat.
Recently a situation occurred at his school in Stillwater which caused considerable agitation among the A. & M. students and followers.The case in question was the transfer of track star Burton Cossey from the Stillwater campus to the more elite group at the state campus at Norman.
In view of a similar situation that occurred at O.U., Iba undoubtedly could have pressed charges and raised quite a commotion. However the level-headed athletic director did no such thing. He met with Lawrence "Jap" Haskell, Oklahoma's athletic director, in Oklahoma City and a peaceable settlement was made.
"Jap Haskell of O.U. and I have come to an agreement," Iba said. "The minute an athlete from either school shows up on the other campus, we will check first to see if there is any question about his leaving the other campus before he is allowed to enroll again. Haskell wants to do the right thing," Iba continued. "He'd send the boy back to us now, but we don't want him. I'm sure Jap didn't know about the Cossey case until the boy was in school at Norman. We've taken the right steps so this kind of thing won't happen again."
This all sounds mighty fine. In fact, it sounds a little too fine. A statement such as this is just what you would expect to come from a meeting concerning a ticklish situation involving a state's two largest educational institutions. But there was nothing else for Iba to do. The boy had left Stillwater for "greener pastures" and a coach would be a fool to take him back. Furthermore, it made relations between the state's two biggest schools very smooth indeed.
From his statement to the press, Iba appeared to be satisfied with the settlement of the case. But inwardly it is doubtful if he was. Whether he was or not, the public wasn't. Close followers of the Oklahoma case have their own ideas on the situation and they certainly don't coincide with results obtained. The affair should serve, at least, to slow Oklahoma down a trifle in her grand-scale collection of athletes on other college campuses.
PHOG ALLEN TAUGHT COX QUITE WELL
Give Frosty Cox plenty of credit for developing a powerful team at Colorado this year. Full evidence of this was gained last week. The Buffaloes went on a western jaunt in which they met two of their toughest foes. Friday night the Golden Buffs gained a 1-point victory in the closing seconds as Heath Nuckollos tossed in a pair of free throws to defeat Utah.
The following night was another tight scrap but for a different reason. Brigham Young, runner-up in the Big Seven at present, was the opposition and almost proved too much. Brigham Young's loss was even the more remarkable because the Buffs, in command nearly all the way, lost All-American center Bob Doll and all-conference forward George Hamburg (Beloit, Kan.) on fouls in the first half and Bob Kirchner (Topeka High Trojan) during the final period.
But even with their aces on the sidelines, Colorado kept its poise and with substitute Lee Robbins of Greeley, Colo., rising to the occasion with 14 points and Leason "Pete" McCloud (Newton High Railroader) having one of his big nights for the same total, the Buffs handed the Cougars their second defeat and their first in the small Provo gymnasium.
This proof that the Buffaloes had some substitutes capable of playing top-notch ball was all that Rocky Mountain basketball fans needed to rate Colorado the top team in the nation. Of course it will be a few weeks before that title can be settled on any team but the Buffaloes should be in there fighting when the final decision is made.
Colorado should win easy over Denver tomorrow night and then will face Brigham Young at Boulder next Friday, Wyoming at Laramie on March 3, and will conclude with Utah State at Logan on March 7. The Wyoming game will be no snap for Coach Ev Shelton's Cowboy crew are dangerous anytime and up at Laramie, being undefeated on the home court, they are laying odds in favor of Wyoming right now.
And talk about offense! Teams seem to get better the farther west they go. Illinois leads the Big Ten with 47.1 points a game, Kansas leads this entire section with 51.1, but Colorado has the unbelievable average of 56.7 points a game. This average has been compiled over an undefeated conference stretch of eight games. Their defensive mark is also worthy of note, 38.8 points a game. While on the subject of Big Seven offense, Wyoming is certainly no slouch, having averaged 53.9 points a game in nine contests, winning six of them.
The two biggest reasons for the success of the Colorado outfit this year might be laid directly to Bob Doll and Leason McCloud. These two lads are leading the Big Seven in scoring with averages of 14.8 and 13.5 points a game. McCloud has the 14.8 point average but just gained the lead in the past two weeks. Following close behind these two are a pair of Wyoming Cowboys, sophomore star center, Milo Komenich, and N.C.A.A. star of last year, forward Kenny Sailors. They are tied with an average of 11.9 points a game. George Hamburg ranks twelfth in scoring with an average of 8.7 points.

When these numbers of shots are compared with those taken in the Nebraska-Kansas game it shows the

Whether the Jayhawks will be able to penetrate this
TAYLOR
close-knit zone defense of the Cowboys and work the ball in for close shots or whether they will be forced to fire away from long range will be an interesting spectacle to watch.
Last year the Jayhawks invaded the Iba-coached defense with nearly a 42-point offensive average and yet in two games made only 60 points. In the first game the Jayhawks lost 30 to 26 but came back to whip the Aggies, 34 to 13, at Lawrence.
Since Iba has been at Oklahoma A. and M. his teams have faced the Jayhawkers eight times. The margins of victory varied from a two-point loss suffered by the Jayhawks in 1940 to a seven-point win gained by the Kansans in 1939.
In 1936 in an Olympic preliminary the Jayhawks won 34 to 28. The Aggies gained complete revenge in 1939 when they invited Phog Allen's crew to dedicate their new $500,000 fieldhouse and in turn the Aggies came through with two straight victories, 21 to 15 and 25 to 19. Later in the year, however, the Jayhawks evened the score with a 34 to 27 triumph.
In the 1940 season a pair of games were split to keep the records even. Kansas won the first clash 34 to 30 but lost the return engagement at Stillwater 24 to 22. Last year the teams repeated their performances of the previous year as the Aggies won the first game 30 to 26 and the Jayhawks came back to win the eighth game in the Iba-Allen series, 34 to 31.
Singers To Perform At Half-Time
The "Sons of the South" are a nationally known radio and concert artist group from Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. Members of the group are Bob Price, pianist; William Charles Gordon, first tenor; Algie Haugh, second tenor; Carl Braxton, baritone; and Walter Rope, bass.
Dr. F. C. Allen Jayhawker basketball coach announced today that the "Sons of the South" will be the feature attraction during intermission at the Oklahoma A. and M.- University of Kansas basketball game tonight.
These performers have sung over the Columbia Broadcasting System and the National Broadcasting Company. Also they have been called to give a command appearance before the President of the United States.

He will be the biggest scoring threat for the Aggies in their game tonight against the Jayhawkers in Hoch auditorium.

Tonight's Game in Hoch Will Determine Nation's Top Basketball Coach Allen Must Win to Pass Iba in Won and Lost Percentage
Supremacy in the basketball coaching world! That's what the game in Hoch auditorium tonight will mean for Coaches Forrest C. "Phog" Allen of Kansas and Henry Payne Iba Oklahoma A. and M.
Not only will be game be a clash between two great teams but it will be a meeting of the two greatest coaches in American college basketball circles, deans of their profession.
This season marks Iba's fifteenth year as a basketball coach. His all-time record is astounding, his teams having 381 games, lost only 70, for a life-time coaching percentage of .8162.
J. B. H.
Allen Could Surpass Iba
Coach Allen need take nary a backward step when considering this record for he has been in the coaching business for 32 years, himself, and has to show for his efforts an all-time percentage of 8154, having won 548 games and lost only 124.
DR, F. C. ALLEN
Both of these records include games played this season. At the start of tonight's game, Iba will have a better percentage of victories by 0008 of one per cent. Allen, however, will take the upper hand if the
Jayhawkers win tonight. In that case, his percentage would then read .1157 compared with Iba's .8141. This would turn the tables and give Allen an advantage of .0016 of a percent.

Henry Iba, who is now 38 years old, attended high school at Easton, Mo., and later enrolled at Westminster College, Fulton, Mo. He attended that school for three and one-half years, receiving his degree at Northwest Missouri Teachers College at Maryville in the summer of 1928. Leaving Westminster in the fall of 1927, Iba began his career as a coach at Classen High School, Oklahoma City. He spent two years at Classen, four years at Northwest Missouri Teachers' College, and one year at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colo., before going to A. and M. in the summer of 1934. This winter he began his eighth season as head basketball coach of the Oklahoma Aggies.

The Pi Kappa, Alpha quintet last night had little trouble in crushing a badly outclassed Alph Kappa Psi five 46 to 11 in a Division II intramural basketball game.
Leading the Pi K.A. attack was Bill Mathews who collected seven field goals. The tall forward received able assistance from Vesper Sheeley and Joe Crawford with the scoring chores. Bill Atwell, fine center, played an $ ^{\circledcirc} $ outstanding rebounding game. [Bruce White]
The victors jumped into an early lead, increasing their margin to 30 to 4 at halftime. From then on they coasted in with their easy victory. Teke's Lose By 1 Point
His teams have won ten conference or state championships out of the fourteen years he has coached. He has had two undefeated regular sections, 31 games for 1929-30 at Northwest Missouri Teacher's Col-
A hard-pressed Acacia five managed to outlast Tau Kappa Epsilon to eke out a narrow 23 to 22 victory. A last quarter Teke rally fell short by a single point.
The Phi Gamma Delta "B" squared continued its winning ways, this time at the expense of the Tau Kappa Epsilon "B" outfit 33 to 18. The Phi Gam, sparked by Bo Joekel and
Oliver Bryan turned in another fine performance for the Teke's as he collected ten points. Ned Martin, guardout Acacia center, tallied five counters for the winners. Halftime sound the Teke's holding a 13 to 11 margin, but the men of Acacia took over the lead early in the third quarter.
A red-hot Beta Theta Pi "C" squad buried the Alpha Tau Omega "C" team 58 to 18 in the Division IV contest. John Shelton racked up an even 20 points for the Beta's, while Bill Jones contributed 13. Bill Wood led the A.T.O. scoring with eight points.
In a 9:15 contest tonight the fast Sigma Chi squad will try to put the handcuffs on Harold Wright, Alpha Chi Sigma ace. In an interclub affair the tall Newman II club will tangle with the Newman III team at 5:30.
Bruce Whittenberger, built up a 12 to 8 lead at the end of the first half Parker was the Teke star.
Ten games are scheduled for play Saturday morning and afternoon. Feature attraction will be the clash of the up-and-coming Phi Delta Theta and Pi Kappa Alpha squads at 1 o'clock.

On the other hand, twenty-four of the past thirty-one coaching seasons, Doctor F. C. Allen has had championship teams. His Jayhawk quin-tets have won or tied for the Big Six title nine times in the last eleven years. Only once in his thirty-two years as a coach has Allen had a team which lost more games than it won. That was in 1929 when everything imaginable in the way of mis-fortunes happen to his Kansas squad, and they won only three games.

While Kansas was winning 18 games and losing 6. Allen's Baker team came through with a clean slate, 24 wins without a defeat. That was too easy so the following year he took a third team under his wing, the Haskell Indian Institute team. His record for all three teams was 74 victories and only 10 defeats.

The KANSAN Comments...
Scholarship--Benevolent Instructors Or Better Class of Students?
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences would probably be quick to doubt that more than half the grades recorded in the College are either A's or B's. The experienced student, grimly reminiscent of certain unfortunate grades in the past, would be more inclined to believe that half were D's, with the detested F coming in for the lion's share of the remaining marks.
It is true, however, that a little more than one-half the grades, 50.2 per cent, to be exact, were A's and B's in the last school year. F's, popular belief to the contrary, came in for only 4.2 per cent of the total grades, while incomplete were held to a mere 1.6 per cent and D's (and this is most startling of all), were kept to a minimum of 9.2 per cent.
It is accepted fact that C is supposed to be the average grade. The grade scale builds up and down from C. But, the actual number of C's awarded last year was .2 per cent less than the number of B's. This would indicate that instructors do not grade "on the curve," because then the normal probability curve would be preserved in the total of grades in the College.
Last year's grades show the highest percentage of A's, the highest percentage of B's, and the lowest percentage of failures in five years. The College office feels safe to say that never before have there been fewer poor students, or more superior students in the College than now.
Comparison of these grades with those when the last survey of this kind was made in 1929 is startling. In brief, since that time, incomplete are down 50 per cent, as are failures. On the other end of the scale, A's and B's are
up from 44.3 per cent in 1929 to their present all-time high of 50.2 per cent.
It boils down to the fact that either teachers are getting easier, or students are getting better. Each factor probably is responsible in some measure, because there is a sub-conscious tendency on the part of professors to relax their requirements in times of conflict and turmoil. It is the latter, though, which is most significant. More outstanding students have been brought to the campus in the past few years, due to the increase in number of scholarships, cooperative houses, and similar aids.
For example, the University now has more than 50 Summerfield students who must maintain a 2.5 grade average to retain their scholarships, without which many of them could not continue their education. There are 80 girls at Watkins and Miller halls who maintain at least a B average. Some twenty-five girls benefit by the Donnelly scholarships, which insist upon maintenance of a grade average high in the scale.
In addition to these permanent scholarships there are numerous miscellaneous aid anonymous scholarships. N.Y.A. jobs keep 199 students at the University, and authorities are ruthless about denying N.Y.A. work to students who fail to maintain a C average.
Approximately 800 students are self-supporting—one-sixth of the student body, and a large part of them must maintain some average above 1. This is the significant reason for the increase in percentage of good grades.
All of this merely bears out Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College in his statement that: "The College has the best students now that it has had since I have been connected with it."
It's The World's Largest
It is amazing how this business we know as war has developed. In the old days, if the king decided to make war on a people, he merely called out his men and went marching along to battle. Nothing much, if anything, was ever thought about the consequences that might befall the subjects. After all, they were only the people, and what did they have to say, anyway?
Even in 1917, we hadn't progressed to the point where the entire country's resources were marshalled for carrying on warfare. But the dictators who are responsible for World War II have rewritten the script for the tragedy.
Eventually, of course, the little man began to voice an opinion or two concerning expenditure of his tax money, and eventually he came to be heard occasionally. That was the birth of our democratic system.
The battle upon American soil is made up of three sections:
1. Handling of essential civilian needs
2. Concentration of everything else upon war production
3. Controlling prices, inflation, and seeing
that everyone is dealt with fairly. The present authorizations call for 142 billion dollars that will wing its way into defense and war channels. That's a good-sized lump of cash, too; it amounts to about $606 per capita.
This is really one time that the little fellow is playing a big part.

Sigma Nu John Dyatt has blasphemed history at his fraternity house. The Sigma Nu's own a bathtub in which T. R. (Strenuous Life) Roosevelt is supposed to have bathed. Johnny filled the tub one night just before dinner, left the water running, and meandered off someplace to parley with Bob Fairchild. Soon after, the Sigma Nu's sat down to dine and presently noticed strange seepings appearing on the dining room ceiling. Lo, the sacred bathtub had run amuck, after the manner of bathtubs, sacred or unsacred . . .

Not Cut Off Without A Scent Thanks to Egyptians
Right now, with two class reports and that quiz hanging over your head, wouldn't you like to curl up in a drowsy corner, hall close your eyes, and inhale the most appealing fragrance in the world? Such a situation was the Greeks' idea of heaven.
Perfume, a luxury adored by women and never ignored by men, had its beginning long ago. The Hebrews acquired their knowledge of the art of perfumery from the Egyptians, and in turn passed the lore of scent manufacture on to the Greeks and Romans. The Elysian fields, the Greek conception of Heaven were made out of perfume. Similarly, the ground of Maharaja Paradise is made of musk, as
Mighty Like a Rose
Perfumery got its start in the ancient East, with Babylon as the first great clearing house for fragrances. Coming on down through the years, perfume held its own. It is said that the court of Charlemagne "smelled like a rose."
$100,000 Yearly
Catherine de Medici had her own perfumer—Rene the Florentine, a character not so sweet as the scents he concocted. He invented the perfumed gloves so subtly poisoned that the wearer drew in death through the pores of the skin.
Napoleon's Empress Josephine had her perfumes sent from Martinique, a West Indian island recently in the war news. Her boudoir was so saturated with musk that the fragrance could still be detected 60 years after her death. Began as Incense
Louis XV, through the charm of Madame de Pompadour, introduced perfume as a necessity for nobility in France. Madame de Pompadour is known to have spent $100,000 in one year for perfumes.
Perfume came into widespread usage in England through the efforts of Queen Elizabeth, who made a hobby of making of her own perfumes.
The word "perfume" means "through smoke," from the Latin "per," through, and "fumare," to smoke, and it is probable that incense was the first form of perfume used.
Today you may spend $1 or $100

Southern France is the number on spot for the production of flora scents, but as time goes on more and more good perfumes are produced synthetically in our own country.
Seventy-eight University medical students met last night to arrange classes for the first-aid course under the civilian defense plan. With such training they will become or dearly in the medical field units of the defense set-up. These student volunteered to take the course.

War In the Far East
Planes Blast Jap Landing Force in Bali
Batavia, Feb. 20 —(UP)—American airplanes including flying fortresses blasted Japanese landing forces on the Island of Bali, a communique said today, damaging three enemy cruisers, two transports, and at least two destroyers and destroying four Japanese planes.
The Japanese landing forces on the island, which lies only a mile east of the main allied East Indies base of Java, were understood to be in considerable force, and fighting was in progress.
The situation appeared to be serious for the Dutch defenders, despite the first dive-bombing attacks of American planes in the East Indies. The dive bombers hit a Japanese transport and a cruiser resulting in heavy casualties to the enemy.
American ground troops in Java are comparatively few. There are also some other foreign troops, including Australians, here to aid in defense of the island.
American liberator bombers and fleet of pursuit planes supported lying fortresses in the attack on the Japanese invasion fleet off the outeastern coast of Bali.
The Americans did not lose a single plane.
Ona flying fortress dropped eight bund bombs around one of the enemy destroyers and the crews aid it rose up from the water andame down in pieces.
Three liberator planes shot down two of the four planes which the enemy lost. These two were part of a formation of nine which attacked the liberators.
The dive bombers' hit on the Japanese transport was made with a 10-pound bomb. Their hit on the cruiser was at the warships' stern. Well informed sources admitted that the Japanese had won a foot-oold in Bali, only 140 miles from Boerabaa, the great naval and air force base of the Netherlands East indies.
Interview Student For Signal Corps
Maj. Clarence E. Koepe of the J. S. army signal corps will be in lawrence, Tuesday to interview seniors who receive their electrical engineering degrees this spring. He is recruiting men for service as engineers in the signal corps.
The signal corps is looking for qualified men to serve as radio engineers in a civilian capacity, Major Koeppe stated in a letter to V. Hessler, professor of electrical engineering.
The corps will employ junior rai engineers at a beginning salary $2000 per annum. Recent graduates of the School of Engineering ill also be able to qualify for higher ratings as radio engineers.
Washington Calls S. E. Clements.
S. E. Clements, assistant professor in electrical engineering, is saving today for Washington, D.C., where he will serve as first lieutenant in the Engineering Reserve, office of chief signal officer.
'U.S. To Win By Aerial Supremacy'
Washington, Feb. 20 —(UP)— Maj. Gen. Carl Spaatz, commander of the U. S. Army's air combat forces, said today the United States intends to win unquestioned aerial supremacy on all fronts and then wage "devastating warfare" on the Axis at every turn.
The recently appointed 50-yearold head of the air fighting arm made the statement in a "war message to the air forces."
The war thus far has proved conclusively that aerial power is essential to the success of either offensive or defensive action, he said.
"The declaration of war by the Congress of the United States on Dec. 8 was a ringing warning to the world that the army air forces in cooperation with our great aircraft industry would strive for aerial supremacy in every theater of operations," he said. "Our Commander-in-Chief promised that no matter where the enemy was found devastating warfare, particularly in the air, would be brought to him. We of the army air forces are determined to attain this objective—we shall attain it."
Spaatz was recently given command of combat forces succeeding Lieut. Gen. Delos C. Emmons, who was placed in charge of all army activities in Hawaii after the Pearl Harbor disaster. He is a World War flier and former chief of the air staff of the U. S. Army air forces. He is directing the fighting end of the huge new army air program, which visualizes a 2,000,000-man air corps and production of 185,000 planes during the next two years.
A former University student, William C. Lunt of Kansas City, Mo., is now an aviation cadet at Randolph Field, Texas.
Japanese Bend Chinese Line In South Burma
Calcutta, Feb. 20 —(UP)— A battle of show-down ferocity see-sawed along the Bilin river of Burma today with the Japanese hurling possibly two divisions of 30,000 men at a defense line which had been bent back toward the Burma road.
The Japanese had crossed the river and were hammering at the imperial right flank in an effort to envelop and smash the entire line. Enemy Kent Busy
At one point, at least, the Japanese were between the town of Bilin and the railroad town of Kyaiak-To, only 25 miles west of the Rangoon-Mandalay railroad portion of the Burma road.
SPORTIN' AROUND--the Navy. . . . They are Ed Hall, Carl Nordstrom, and Carl Jessup. . . Five members of the Iowa State basketball team registered for the draft while in Lawrence Monday (Captain Ai Budolson, Carol Schneider, Reuben Mickelson, Leon Uknes, and Harle Damon) . . . Ralph Houk, former Lawrence High and Ban Johnson baseball star, has been added to the roster of the Kansas City Blues. Houk, a catcher, talked to "Phoq" Allen's baseball class last week. . . . Maurice Cannady, former Junior High coach and Jayhawk athlete, is now director of the Physical Fitness program at Fairfax field in Kansas City. . . . He was stationed there from Norfolk, Va., where the other three Hill athletes will gō in March. . . . Francis Kappleman, former Jayhawk baseball and basketball star, was turned down by Tunney because of color-blindness. . . . In the same breath he was called by the San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League to report soon for spring training practice, preparatory to his trial with the Pacific Coast League baseball team. . . Brother Lester Kappleman was also turned down because of color-blindness.
A communique broadcast by the Rangoon radio said counter-attacks from the imperial middle sector were keeping the enemy at bay but that "fighting is continuing fiercely."
An official spokesman in Chungking said the Chinese refuse to concede that the battle of Burma is lost and have started operations to relieve the pressure on the defense lines in the south.
Striking from northern Burma, the Chinese were pursuing defeated Thai forces toward Chiengmai, Thailand, 80 miles from the border.
Pursue Thai Forces
Rangoon gave no details of the fighting to the north, some 175 miles from the Bilin front, but the battle in southern Burma was raging at a high cost to both sides.
Air-Arms Active
Steave Meade was another who tried to get into Tunney's group but failed. . . An excess of 20 pounds was the difficulty. . . Monte Merkel, who has performed off and on for Jayhawk baseball teams, is scholastically ineligible this spring. . . Two members of the Wichita North High School championship football squad, Jack Bottins and Bill Jamison, are reported to have enrolled at Oklahoma—not University—but Aggies at Stillwater. . . Those two were a part of the group of 10 or so that made the "famous" goodwill tour to Norman without "any knowledge" of it to Sooner officials. . . "Phog" Allen is in receipt of a letter from Don Faurot, director of athletics at Missouri, in which the latter stated that it would be possible to house the Kansas baseball squad in fraternities on the Tiger campus. If this same procedure were followed here, placing one player to a fraternity, it would cut down expenses greatly, provide a hardship on no one. . . Don Ebling, member of the 1940 N.C.A.A. finalists, mude the second all-star team in the Kansas City Naismith League Wednesday night. . . John Jacobs, Oklahoma U.S. track coach, has a perfect description of Nebraska's treatment of visiting track teams: "They get you up there in their new indoor plant, lock all the doors, and then beat hell out of you."
(continued from page four)
Both the RAF and the AVG
FAUROT HAS IDEA ON BASEBALL
(American Volunteer Group) were bombing enemy concentrations and troops in the line; "The enemy is being given little respite."
Japanese attempts to cross the Bilin at its mouth, on the coast of the Gulf of Martaban, were beaten back. Ground attacks on the right flank (northern end) of the defense line likewise failed.
The Japanese break-through occurred north of the river mouth, and the situation in that area appeared to be changing hourly.

Army Tanks Are Given New Names
Fort Knox, Ky. — (UP) — From now on Uncle Sam's war machines will be "somebodies."
A rumbling, 28-machine of steel and rubber with cannon and machine guns poking through its armored skin may be just another medium tank to the civilian, but it will be "Winnie," "Frankenstein," "Superman," "Mazie," or "Hell Euggy" to the boys who ride in it.
That is the order from the general.
Maj. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, chief of the armored force, has ordered that each of the 19,000 vehicles of the armored force which includes everything from tanks to motorcycles be given a name.
The name will be selected by enlisted men and will be painted on each vehicle in air corps yellow lusterless paint one and one-half inches high.
"Except for objectionable names," General Devers order said. "complete freedom of selection will be encouraged. Names typically American and well known in the fields of history, sports, comics, poetry, music, current events, entertainment, legends, etc., are suggested for consideration."

White Collar Men Volunteer For Work In Harvest
Goodhue, Minn.—(UP)—Goodhue business men and townpeople have signed up as emergency farm laborers to aid in harvest season and help solve the labor shortage.
The plan was originated here during the last war and revived recently by L. E. Cook, Goodhue newspaper editor. It is designed to plug one of the biggest gaps in the entire food-for-victory program—an adequate labor supply. The Goodhue experiment, farm leaders say, may be copied throughout the nation.
The Goodhue "white collar" men made a 100 per cent response and on registration day signed an agreement that they would be "on call" to farmers whenever any emergency exists.
Druggists, grocerymen, butchers, dentists, store clerks and others will be available to perform such jobs as preparing fields for planting, cultivating, cutting hay, and harvesting grains.
The volunteers emphasize that the plan is not charity—they will charge the farmer the prevailing wage scale.
The plan, however, entails some financial sacrifices because stores and offices will be closed, if necessary, to assure the harvest.
Cheyenne, Wyo. (UP)—Governor Nels Smith believes that farmers and ranchers should be given auto and truck tires if they need them to continue their "food for freedom" production. He has instructed the state allocation director to take the matter up with Washington.

As a record-breaker the band rates among the top in the country, breaking the all time record in Harlem in 1938. The band has not only a style of its own, but is said to imitate many different styles of popular orchestras.
In making the picture, Lanceford stated his belief that the Jitterbugs had better learn new dance steps if they wanted to keep up with the latest music. "The return of the 'blues' will take a longer time than swing to replace jazz," he said, but seemed to think the "blues" were on the upgrade. The bands of the country are playing more and more of the slower music.

WASHINGTON Indoor Agriculturalist Country Gent
(continued to page eight)
By HEIDI VIETS
Ever since this country started observing Washington's birthday, Americans have heard of the Father of their Country as the little boy who cut down the cherry tree. If George ever did sink a hatchet into living wood, he was probably preparing it for grafting.
George Washington has been called our first country gentleman, but he was more than that. .he was a real dirt farmer, a lover of the soil. Mount Vernon, today a concession-dotted touri-
tural experiment station in this country.
George a "Putterer"
Washington, the man, was Washington, the farmer. A true picture shows him as a "scientific putterer," carefully injecting seeds into rows of little boxes, tediously keeping records with quill pen and ink made from powder, riskily buying up livestock, trying new crops, and attempting the grafting of fruit trees. All the time, even when public duty had pulled him away from home, Washington's heart was at the farm with his wheat and his little boxes. The farm was one place where he could forget those painful false teeth, which for three-fourths of his life bruised his gums and his good humor.
His agricultural ventures were many. Upon returning to spacious Mount Vernon after the Revolutionary war, he began experimenting with plaster of paris and pow-

The United States Naval Reserve will enlist 80,000 college men between the ages of 17 and 19 after March 1, according to information received yesterday by Chancellor Deane W. Malott from the Navy department.
Students enlisted under this program will be allowed to continue in school for two more years, during which time they will be required to take certain courses suggested by the Navy.
After this preliminary training some of these students will be transferred to class V-7 and allowed to continue until graduation, after which they will go into training for positions as Naval officers. Others will be placed in class V-5 for Naval aviation training, and still others

The MSC probably will act upon a plan of the committee to submit a questionnaire to the students concerning war-time activities.
In what may result in one of the most important meetings of the year, the Men's Student Council will assemble Monday night at eight o'clock in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
At that time, the recently-appointed "war-defense committee will make its report on the possibilities of promotion of war and defense activities on the Hill. The group, with Orville Wright as chairman, has been conferring and working with Chancellor Deane W. Malott and other University officials on a number of projects.

The program opens with the selection "Kermesse," from "Faust" (Gounod), sung by the combined glee clubs.
The Women's Glee Club then takes over to sing four numbers: "O Death is Cool Refreshing Night" (Brahms-Fitch); "Eapphi Ode" (Brahms-Duane); "The Message" (Brahms-Douty); and "Slumber, Beloved One" (Ravel-Douty).
The Men's Glee Club then offers "Tenebrae Factae Sunt" (Palestrina); "The Scissors-Grinder" Fitch); "Sapphi Ode" (Brahms-Jungst, "Turn Ye to Me" (Scotch folk song) as arranged by A.T.D., and closes this portion of the program with "Ay Ay, Ay" (Creole song) as arranged by Stickles.

The fifth part of the concert, "Modern Mode Arrangements" is to be presented by a group of women vocalists, accompanied by a group of violinists. The mode arrangement is by Thelma Lehmann.
The Men's Glee Club next puts on a musical skit entitled "Joe College," written especially for them by Jack Laffer, University graduate of '84, and announcer for WJR, Detroit. The scenes are typical of any K.U. boarding house for men.
The concert closes with a trio of songs characteristic of the University, "I'm a Jayhawk." "Onward Kansas" (also written by Jack Lafter), and the "Alma Mater."

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Kansas moved one step nearer a play-off berth in the N.C.A.A. meet by nosing out the rough and rugged Cowboys from Oklahoma A. and M. Friday night. And when the words "rough and rugged" are used it is putting the case mildly. Never in the history of Kansas basketball, so say Jayhawk followers among the University faculty and Lawrence businessmen, has a team used that style of ball against a "Phog" Allen team.
It was evident from the start of the game that the Aggies were intent upon keeping the Jayhawks from driving in close to the basket and they accomplished their purpose by every manner of means. Their blocks and hipping would have done credit to Jim Lookabaugh's Cowboy grid team.
ALLEN GAINS TOP HAND IN IBA DUEL
The personal record between Allen and Iba stood at five games for Allen and four to the credit of Iba at game-time. Seven of these contests were regularly scheduled games and Iba had won four of them. The other two were connected with play-offs. In 1936 the Jayhawks won 34 to 28 in an Olympic preliminary and in 1940 the Jayhawks won again, this time at Oklahoma City in a play-off for the N.C.A.A. representative, 45 to 43.
The Kansans have played in many rough-and-tumble games where the fast action necessarily led to many fouls but Friday night there was no fast action and the many fouls were distinctly purposeful. Henry Iba may be a great coach but if he has to depend upon such tactics to win his games then his greatness is diminished considerably and he can keep his teams at home.
By winning the game, Allen moved ahead of Iba in his lifetime winning percentage with a mark of 8157 compared with Iba's 8141. Their records show 549 victories and 124 losses for Allen in 32 seasons and 381 wins and 71 defeats in 15 years for Iba.
History also repeated itself when the Kansans won for they kept intact their record of never losing to the Aggies on any court other than the Stillwater fieldhouse floor. Prior to Friday night's clash the two schools had met 15 times with Kansas winning 11 times.
HICKEY LIKES JAYHAWKER PERSONNEL
Eddie Hickey, Creighton coach, was one of the many mentors who scouted the game. . . . His team plays A. and M. at Stillwater tomorrow night in a game which should decide the Missouri Valley championship. . . . It might also affect the N.C.A.A. play-offs if the Creightonians win. . . . In that ease the Missouri Valley would probably wind up in a tie and the Big Six champ would go to the play-offs undisputed since Kansas has beaten both of the top-ranking M.U. teams. . . . Hickey thought Kansas has a finer personnel on its squad than any team he has faced this year. . . . Ed Beisser, star center, has a charley-horse and may not start tomorrow night he said. . . . Don Shearn may replace him. . . . “If we play like we did against Kansas,” Hickey said, “we’ll beat those Aggies tomorrow night.” . . . The Creighton coach thought his team was lucky when Black fouled out against them but his substitute, T. P. Hunter, proved even a bigger nemesis he found out.
MR. GIBBS DIDN'T HAVE IT
Notes from the game: At the two-minute mark with A. and M. leading to 1, the Aggies took time out to plan their strategy. Kansas was using a zone defense and preventing the Aggies from working the ball in so they started taking long shots. . . . Kansas should have switched right with them for Lonnie Eggleston was hot as could be on his long set shots. . . . He made four of them in 15 minutes until Ray Evans started guarding him man-to-man all over the court. . . . He made just one bucket after that and it was a mid-court swiser. . . . Refereeing during the night was very poor. . . . One member of the faculty said that the crowd became more worked-up about the officiating during that game than at any time during the many years he has been on the Hill. . . . Referees Gibbs and Hinshaw couldn't even agree among themselves as they called two double-fouls, the first time that has happened this year. . . . Gibbs called an offensive foul against Steinmeir early in the first half and Hinshaw called a defensive foul against Black . . . Late in the game Gibbs called a defensive foul on Eggleston and Hinshaw called the violation on Miller for charging. . . . Miller's back-overHis-head shot in the first half was similar to the goal he made against Iowa State at Ames earlier in the year.
Eggleston, who guarded Miller for five minutes until Newman took over, waged a beautiful defensive struggle with Evans. . . . Both are noted for their defensive prowess. . . . Evans made two beautiful high-arch shots from mid-court in the space of 25 seconds late in the first half for his only goals. . . . Eggleston made just one goal off Evans after the latter shifted to man-to-man. . . . Henry Iba showed more temper while sitting on the bench than any visiting coach this season ... And that includes Jack Garde-

Free Throws Decide Fate Of Big Game
Jayhawks Squeeze By Oklahoma Ags,31-28
The Jayhawkers won their seventh straight game on the home court this year as they free-throwed their way past the tight-guarding Oklahoma A. & M. Cowboys Friday night, 31 to 28.
The first of the double foul violations was then called and both Charlie Black and Steinmeir made good their shots. Eggleston came through with the first of his buckets on a side shot after a fast break down the court.
Buescher was fouled again while shooting and once more made good on one of his two chances. Oklahoma now led, 7 to 4, after six and one-half minutes. Kansas had taken six shots from the field and had failed to connect with one. Buescher Makes First Goal
Lou Steinmeier opened the scoring with his one-hander after a fast break. Ray Evans tallied the first Kansas point when he connected on a free throw after Jack Taylor's foul.
Buescher scored the first Jayhawk field goal when he put a swisher through the loop from far out at seven and one-half minutes. Gene Bell equaled this with a one-handed push shot to give the Aggies a 9 to 6 lead with 10 minutes played.
The Aggies changed their offense to a long-shot game at this point and J. T. Newman was the first to connect with a bucket. John Buescher was fouled by Bud Millikan while driving in for a set-up and made good one of his two free chances.
Ralph Miller and Eggleston connected on two swishers from far out and then Bell added three points as he dropped in a set-up and made the free throw he received when Evans fouled him.
Miller added a Kansas point when Bell fouled him but Eggleston repeated his long shot of two minutes before and the Aggies led 16 to 9. This seven-point margin was the best either team could gain during the 40 minutes.
The Cowboys started to stall at this point as is their custom when they gain a lead of a few points but Kansas picked up a bit by adding two free throws by Black and one by Marvin Sollenberger.
Evans Sinks Two Long Ones
But A. and M. kept bearing down as Eggleston potted his fourth goal in 15 minutes off the Kansas zone defense and the Aggies led 18 to 12. Miller then brought the crowd to its

The second half proved to be a direct about-face as far as scoring was concerned as both teams tightened their defenses and took fewer shots. Newman scored the first point when Sollenberger fouled him but a minute later Miller and Hunter sank free throws to make the score 21 to 20 in favor of the Aggies.
Newman and Buescher each connected on another free toss and A. and M. started to stall again. Miller made good one of his two free shots at the seven-minute mark to tie the score.
The first field goal of the half was scored by Newman as he made his
fifth straight point for the Cowboys after nine and one-half minutes had passed. Miller dropped in a free throw to lessen the Aggies lead at the 10-minute mark to 24 to 23.
Eggleston hit his only goal of the second half at this point on a mid-court swisher but Miller equaled this when he chalked up a goal on a delayed sweep shot.
After Eggleston had missed a free throw Bell fouled Black while leaping for the rebound. Black missed his free throw but Jack Ballard responded with a very valuable tip that batted the ball back out to Black who took the ball over his head and in the same motion tossed it back at the hoop and through for a bucket which gave Kansas its first lead of the game, 27 to 26, at twelve and one-half minutes.
During the last five minutes the Cowboys missed five free throws while Miller made two charity tosses good for Kansas and Black and Ballard connected for one each.

PiKA's Maintain Pace
Knock Off Phi Delt's Yesterday
In one of the hardest-fought clashes of the intramural basketball season Pi Kappa Alpha, the team that almost beat Newman I. defeated Phi Delta Theta, the team that did beat the Newman's, 22 to 13, yesterday afternoon.
The victory kept the Pi K. A. outfit in the running for a playoff berth. Trailing 14 to 3 at half time, the Phi Delt's came back to outscore and outfight their opponents in the last half but the early Pi K. A. advantage proved too much.
Crawford Leads Scoring
The highly-touted Phi Delt aggregation was utterly unable to solve the puzzling Pi K. A. defense, and had to rely upon long shots for its scoring. Meanwhile the winners divided their scoring evenly with Joe Crawford collecting six points, and Bill Atwell, Bill Mathews, and LaDean McCormick each sinking two buckets.
In addition to his scoring, Atwell turned in a brilliant defensive performance as he held Chuck Hunter, Phi Delt ace, to five points. Matthews, tall forward, controlled the rebounds for his squad throughout the game.
In the other Saturday afternoon affair the Blanks scored an easy 34 to 18 victory over the Union Feunineers as they suddenly began to find the range in the second half. They had been held to a 12 to 8 lead at the end of the first period.
Cal Winter tallied 19 points for the Blanks, and his teammate Dewey Verhage added three field goals. Bob Woolverton led the Fountaineer scoring with six field goals.
The Sigma Chi defense stopped Harold Wright, Alpha Chi Sigma star, Friday night, but George Wagner and Dick Werling took over his scoring chores as the Chemists dumped the Sigma Chi's in a startling upset 27 to 23.
The Alpha Chi Sigma squad probably the most improved team in intramural ball during the past few weeks held an 11 to 10 lead
Intramural Stars of the Week
Rans Bennett, Beta Theta Pi—Bennett was the star of the stars this week as he piled up 33 points against the unfortunate Sig Nu', and then came back to score the tying and winning points against Sigma Phi Epsilon.
John Fletcher, Beta Theta Pi— Fletcher collected 28 points against Sigma Nu, and had another good night against the Sig Ep's, sinking four field goals.
Tony Coffin, Newman I—Coffin, probably the most valuable man in intramall arm, stood out with his fine floor game, defensive work, and scoring in his first appearance this year against Pi Kappa Alpha.
John Shelton, Beta Theta Pi "C"
—Shelton turned in the best lower division performance of the week as he contributed 20 points to the Beta's 58 to 18 victory over the A.T.O. "C" squad.
Bill Atwell, Pi Kappa Alpha—Atwell's fine rebounding and long-range sharpshooting almost beat mighty Newman I.
at the halfway mark. Jack Beck
dunked in five baskets for the losers.
A favored Newman II club had to come from behind to beat out the men of Battenfield hall 34 to 26. The winners trailed 13 to 19 at half-time.
Leading the red-hot Newman second-half attack was Bob Bell, who rang up 18 points for his evening's efforts. In even more sensational form was Warren Lowen, who was all over the court as he accounted for 22 of Battenfeld's points.
A Phi Kappa Psi squad that couldn't miss toyed with Kappa Sigma yesterday morning to score an easy 74 to 16 win. Bill Hodge, Phi Psi standout, pushed in 12 field goals, while teammate John Krum tallied 23 points. The Phi Psi's had grabbed a 32 to 8 lead at half-time.
Oliver Bryan, Tau Kappa Epsilon —Bryan came close to being a one-man-team as he scored all 17 of his team's points against Theta Tau, and also took scoring honors in the Acacia game.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon had little trouble handing Sigma Nu a 59 to 19 defeat in another Saturday morning contest. Ken Winters, Lynn Williams, and John Gage all scored at will for the winners.
Jim Webb, Alpha Tau Omega—Webb, a flashy forward, crammed 16 points into the basket in the first half as his team defeated the Delta Chi's 31 to 27.

Big Six Indoor Track Meet Comes Saturday
The finest field in history is slated to compete in the annual Big Six indoor track meet in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium Saturday.
Veterans of national ranking will combine with an outstanding crop of sophomores to make the big meet the most starstudded show the conference has ever put on.
€0-Yard Dash Is Feature
Heading the list of crack performers is Nebraska's Harold Hunt, 1941 national co-champion in the pole vault. A top mark of 14 feet 2 inches to his credit, Hunt appears certain to boost the meet record for his event which he set in Kansas City last year.
While no direct threat to Hunt this year, a trio of sophomore pole vaulters has shown great promise for the future. All former state high school champions, they include Billy Rothwell of Missouri, Howard Debus
of Nebraska and Ernie Nelson of Kansas State
Three of the finest sprinters the Big Six has ever produced will match strides in the 60-yard dash. Don Walters of Missouri, the defending champion in this event, will be pushed to the limit by Orv Matthews of Oklahoma and "Red" Littler of Nebraska.
Littler and Bill Lyda of Oklahoma, fourth and fifth, respectively, in the 440 yard dash at the national collegiate meet last June, are scheduled for another great duel in the quarter-mile.

The KANSAN Comments...
Why Are We Complacent ?
Much talk has been bandied about recently, in the press and in the halls of Congress, that American citizens are too complacent in the war effort—that they do not realize we are in a war, and if they do they are inclined to read newspapers avidly for details of the British routs, but nothing more. They refuse to do anything constructive themselves toward helping win the war.
That would see into be true, but there must be a reason for such inactivity on the part of a people in danger of losing those liberties which are the very essence of their lives. The reason is simple—they just don't know what to do. We are a people unused to fighting wars. That denotes no lack of competency on our part, if we are directed properly.
A step in the right direction has been taken in Kansas City. Boy Scout troops there has been collecting scrap iron, and have taken in a huge quantity in a short time. Contribution, however, is voluntary. People call the Scouts, who then call for the junk and take it away. This is a worthwhile project for them, but it might still be improved.
Practically every town in the nation has its Boy Scout troop. Every town has its city dump. Junked automobiles, washing machines, stoves, tin cans, and every conceivable kind of scrap metal might be taken for the asking. If Scouts would bet a truck they could soon collect enough scrap metal to sink the Japanese fleet.
They might do some house-to-house canvassing. Many persons have basements littered with old papers, worn-out furnace grates, and other useless trash which only clutters up the premises, but could be very valuable if converted into battleships, guns, or bullets.
Existing organizations will not call for scrap material unless the individual has enough to warrant it, from mthe profit angle. Scouts with a truck could canvass their town, or their particular section of a city, and the amount of scrap iron and paper collected would prove worthwhile. But a canvass will be necessary. Either through inertia, or lack of information, the people will not volunteer to any great extent.
Immorality and social decay are plainly shown in the case of the three youngsters in South Dakota, who for the last three Sunday mornings have entered and robbed the bank of small sums of money while the rest of the citizens were at church.
Still Too Little Aid !
Japan is on the way toward winning another battle in the Pacific, this time for the vital Dutch East Indies. And, as has been true in every battle of the Far East, the Allie are doing little about it.
Long before the British rout in Malaya and the fall of Singapore, the Dutch asked for planes. Only 750 planes, they said, would be enough to hold off the invaders they knew were coming. Yet even after the actual invasion of the East Indies began, the East Indies troops were fighting with inadequate planes and troops. A few Australian and British survivors of Singapore escaped to the East Indies, and American troops have landed in Java, but in numbers too small to be effective as yet.
The allies must hold Java, as a base from which to fight the Japs, even though they lose the remainder of the East Indies. The Dutch have already destroyed oil wells so vially needed
by the Japs; with Java as a base for bombing planes, the Allies can effectively hinder the Japs from reboring those wells. But if the Allies are driven entirely from the East Indies, Australia is wide open to attack and invasion by the Japs, and at the same time they can redrill the oil that is now lost to them.
England and the United States have lost valuable bases, troops, and Allie by too little aid to Hong Kong, and Singapore. They cannot afford to lose the East Indies, and with them, their East Indian allies.
Topers will probably send a telegram of gratitude to Senator McNary when they learn that he has asserted that enough alcohol for our Pacific engagements can be made from waste products of pulp mills in his state.
A Nebraska draft board found subtle humor on one of their cards. Under the listing, serious physical defects was this classic: "None, except one arm missing."

Rock Chalk Talk
BETTY WEST
Elaine Handy went to bed and to sleep the other night with a ring on the third finger of her right hand. During the course of her dreams it came upon her that she was married, and, take it for what its worth, when she awoke the next morning the ring was on the third finger of her left hand. Sounds like pixies from where we are sitting.
Having decided to give a realistically illustrated lecture on artificial respiration to a First Aid class, "Phog" Allen drafted Knute Kresie to be artificially respirated. The doctor placed Knute on a stretcher before the class, and hvaing finished with the finer points of his demonstration, told Knute that he might remain there until the class was over. The tired Kresie promptly went to sleep, and blissfully slept through the rest of the lecture.
Bill Feeney is a conversational opportunist, leaping into the thick of any available repearate, with appropriate remarks of a vivid character. While at the Jayhawk yesterday noon, he was kibitizing on the conversation in the booth ahead of him.

Anyway, here goes, the Unabridged Dictionary of Soda Fountain Terminology:

A numerical terminology is springing up in certain quarters, and if brought into sufficient prominence, will be the subject of another bit of research. The only figures with a degree of permanence are: 81—water, and 86—something of which there is no more of.
The last term, "bottleneck," we will not translate because this is a student paper, but it means something that causes the fountain walters to drop glasses, collide with patrons and with each other, etc. Find out for yourself if you are curious.

Dow Chemical Drafts K.U... Brush Named to Direct Magnesium Experiments
BY JOY MILLER
The lightest structural metal in the world is being mined from the sea—and the University has a hand in it.
Magnesium, millions of pounds of it, is needed for use in implements of warfare. To supply this need, the Dow Chemical company of Midland, Mich., is extracting the metal from sea water, and has commissioned Edward E. Brush, associate professor of aeronautics here, to conduct research on magnesium alloys.
Before coming to the University last September, Brush was an engineer with the Lockheed Aircraft corporation in California, where he specialized in studies for the use of magnesium alloys in aircraft construction. His familiarity with the metal will help in his research to determine the tension impact and fatigue strength of the metal. As far as he knows, Brush is doing the only work ever done on tension impact. Two Departments Cooperate
The department of applied mechanics under Professors F. L Brown and A. M. Ockerblad is cooperating with the aeronautical engineers in this research. Brush is being assisted in the project by Jules Saut and Walter Voigtlander, senior engineers.
Professor Brush attributes the importance of magnesium to its lightness. It weighs two-thirds as much as aluminum, the lightest structural metal used at the present time. For that reason magnesium has a widespread use in aircraft production.
The 180 pounds of magnesium alloy that go into a large airplane engine do the work of 270 lbs. of aluminum—the difference in a four-ton bomber means that two extra men or 360 pounds of bomb load or gasoline can be carried.
In plane manufacturing magnesium alloy is at present used for engine parts and for small castings and
Alterations Made In Sewing Schedule
Mrs. Paul B. Lawson and Mrs. A. T. Walker, co-chairman of the University's Red Cross sewing project, recently announced a change in the sewing room's schedule because of small Tuesday morning attendance.
The sewing room, which is located in room 116, Fraser hall, has been open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 12 and on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons from 2 o'clock until 5. The only change is elimination of the Tuesday morning session from 9:30 to 12.
Mrs. Lawson said that despite the small attendance on Tuesday morning, the other periods have been well attended, especially during the last week.
The University's Sewing Room is open to all students and members of the community who wish to sew or knit for the boys in the service and for civilians in war zones. It is a branch of the down town Red Cross Sewing Room and is working directly through it. Since the project began at the beginning of the second semester, the following garments have been made by the volunteer workers: 10 women's skirts, 5 woolen dresses, 5 bed jackets, 3 boys' shirts and 4 mens' bath robes. Several lap covers for hospital use are just being completed.
forgings. When it comes into more common use, magnesium will be used in making landing gear fitteds, control pedals, fuselages, wing skin, and control surfaces—replacing the heavier aluminum alloys.
The scarcity and lack of understanding of this important metal has led to a limited use of magnesium alloys, upon which Professor Brush will conduct his experiments.
The research will include testing and comparing properties of magnesium alloys with those of aluminium and plywood for making aircraft control surfaces. Determining the fatigue and impact strength of magnesium alloy, and casting and forging also will be undertaken, Brush explained.
In mining the magnesium, Dow company founded a site at Freeport, Texas, and pumps in 300,000,000 gallons of sea water a day. The process is simply burning oyster shells for slaked lime, mixing it with sea water, treating this with hydrochloric acid, separating the chlorine from the magnesium, and drawing off the resultant metal and casting it into ingots.
Magnesium is a metal which sprinkl into use almost overnight. During the last war 284,000 pounds were produced annually. This year we will make 125,000,000 pounds, with plants being constructed to turn out 400,-000,000 pounds a year.
Aside from its use in plane manfacturing, and for use in making incendiary bombs and signal flares, magnesium will be used after the war for household metal implements. Vacuum cleaners, baby carriages, and pianos all probably will be changed because of this lightweight champion. From warfare to domesticity is a long stride, but magnesium can take it.
Brunswick, Me. — (UF) — Wilfred A. Duquette, court recorder here, boasts that every article of furniture in the dining room of his home was hand-carved by himself. Duquette, who long has made woodworking his hobby, hopes eventually to be able to say that every piece of furniture in his home was made by his own hand.
Court Recorder Carves As Hobboy
Topeka, Kan.—(UP)—Gov. Payne Ratner has asked the Kansas State highway commission to conduct a survey to determine the amount of scrap metal available in the state in the form of abandoned bridges, structures and equipment owned by the state or by various counties.
Officials of the federal bureau of industrial conservation have notified Ratner that the war production board is interested in uncovering every possible source of scrap metal and is "stimulating the scrapping of abandoned structures containing iron and steel."
The bureau made it plain in a letter to the governor, that "it is essential that we tap every large source of dormant scrap metal."

(continued from page five) Chi. Ivan Josserand took scoring honors for the Acacia's with seven points. At half-time the Sigma Chi five held a narrow 15 to 13 lead, but the Acacia defense fell apart in the last half and the winners pulled away.
John Moore Coop could not hold an early lead, and fell before a late Rock Chalk rally 26 to 22 Friday night. The losers had led 16 to 12 at the half. Lorraine Chestnut, John Moore guard, was high point man for the game with 11 points. Orville Krzetmeier racked up four field goals for the victors.
Phi Delt's Upset Phi Gam's
The Phi Gamma Delta "C" squed became the first Phi Gam intramural basketball organization to taste defeat as they fell yesterday morning before the Phi Delta Theta "C" men 24 to 12. Ralph "Bud" Weir took the leading role in the Phi Gam upset as he contributed six field goals to the Phi Delt total.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon "B" team continued its fast pace in Division IV competition Saturday as it defeated the strong Phi Kappa Psi "B" team 28 to 26. The Sig Alph's held a narrow 12 to 11 lead at half-time.
John Horner, fine Phi Psi center, took scoring honors for the game with 11 points. Earl Musser and Jim Sandifer contributed nine and eight points respectively to the Sig Alph attack.
The Pflugerville Pflashes forfeited two games in weekend play to the Tau Kappa Epsilon and Theta Tau quintet. Other forfeited games were Sgma Chi "D" to Beta Theta Pi "C", Newman III to Newman II, and Alpha Tau Omega "B" to Pi Kappa Alpha "B".
The Fhi Delta Theta "C" vs. Sigma Chi "C" game, previously recorded as a forfeiture by the Phi Delt's, has been reclassified as a postponed game, and will be played off this week.
Jimmie Lunceford and his Harlem Express will appear at the Granada in "Blues in the Night" beginning today for 3 days. He will play for the Junior Prom Friday.

Alpha Phi Omega Goes On Outing To Camp Naish
Fourteen members of Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity defied threatening weather and pressing academic duties while they spent last night at Camp Theodore Naish near Bonner Springs, refreshing their memories with many of the experiences they enjoyed as boys.
Max Fessler instructor of economics, faculty adviser for the fraternity, was responsible for the party while Lewis Medlin, president, was their leader. The party expects to return to Lawrence about noon today.
"War and the Press" will be the subject of an address by Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, to the History club tomorrow. The meeting will be held at 4:30 in the English room of the Memorial Union building.
TO DISCUSS —
(continued from page one)
"Unified America," "Post-War Re-
construction," and "Educative Freedom."
The series seeks to enlighten students on political and economic problem of the world today. Ukena said, and stresses the relationship between students and the solution of the problems.
Dates for the four following meetings have not been set by the commission. These will consist of lectures and one more panel discussion.
These open meetings are sponsored by the University YMCA and YWCA.
NAVAL RESERVE—
(continued from page one) will be placed on duty in training for service with the fleet.
Students who are interested in further details of the plan should see James K. Hitt, assistant registrar.
It is felt that this new plan of enlistment will enable many students who are in doubt at the present time as to whether they should continue in school, to make plans which will enable them to continue at least until the end of their sophomore year and which will give them an opportunity to compete on their home campus for positions as officers in the United States Naval Reserve.
WASHINGTON
(continued from page one) dered stone as fertilizers. He planted soil-strengthening crops—clover, rye, peas, oats, and carrots—and tested grasses new to Virginia land trefoil, timothy, spelt, and lucerne (our alfalfa.)
Had Whiskey Still
Next, he laid out his "botanical garden" in a plot near the flower garden. Here he experimented with fertilizers, new seeds, stands of grain, rotation of crops, conservation of soil, and even with implements which he had invented for cultivating the land.
Washington started raising hogs as a means to dispose of a waste product—the mash left from his whiskey still. After a test of the mash as a fertilizer had ailed, Washington bought a new Guinea hogs to try the mash as feed for them. They took it, liked it, and grew fat. Then came more pigs, more mash, more hog-fat, and Washington was a "pork success."
On Virginia estates livestock was badly fed and little cared for. Washington initiated a new deal, and his
care and breeding brought him fine horses, sheep, cattle, and hogs.
From the time he inherited his first farm from his father until he died at the age of 67, owner of five large farms bound together in one estate, Washington was at heart a farmer—first, last, and always. He regretted having to take time out from agriculture for revolutionary statesmanship and fighting. During six years of the war he never once set foot on his farm. He corresponded with Mrs. Washington regarding developments at home, however, and between battles collected information and opinions from farmers in other parts of the country to help him in his own ventures.
Invented Farm Tools
In the interval before he went back into public life as a framer of the Constitution and then as President, Washington conducted many of his experiments. He went enthusiastically into fruit-raising, although it never became his pet
A favorite sideline of Washington's was inventing implements for the farm. He was very interested in plows, of which he made several. His prize invention was his drill or "barrel plow" which sowed as it turned the soil.
project. He tried experiments with grafting, worked with his little boxes, and pampered his wheat.
Washington was idealistic about farming. After the Revolution he wrote, "I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country, than by improving its agriculture, its breed of useful animals, and other branches of a husbandman's cares."
Rather Farm Than be King
Washington never got away from his love of farming. Late in his life a sculptor came to Mount Vernon to make a statue of Washington. The artist would talk in vain of state affairs and of the Revolution, trying to put his subject at ease. One

MSC to Take Poll In Classes Friday
Students of the University will have the chance next Friday morning to tell what they think about war defense activities on the campus.
The Men's Student Council at its regular meeting in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building last night authorized the distribution of a questionnaire to every student in 10:30 classes on Friday morning. Answers will reveal the majority student opinion of the extended summer school program, compa-
puisory physical education, and Red Cross classes at the University.
The questionnaire has been instituted by the war defense committee of the MSC as a means of discovering student sentiment on several of the more important projects the committee is considering inaugurating at the University in conjunction with the federal administration. Or. ille Wright, chairman of the group, has listed 17 separate activities that the committee may promote.
Students in the library at 10:30 a.m. Friday will also be given the questionnaire.
The war defense committee has been in operation for two weeks. The members, Wright, Verlyn Norris, and Elden Beebe, have met with Chancellor Deane Malott, T. C. Ryther, University conservation chairman, and R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service.

No ROTC SummerCamp
There will be no summer camp for R.O.T.C. students in 1942 so far as the University department of military science and tactics knows, Col. James Dusenbue said today.
Colonel Dusenbury added, however, that the R.O.T.C. unit here takes its orders from the war department. If the war department should request summer camp, the R.O.T.C. juniors would spend six weeks of the summer in training camp as usual.
Under the present set-up, R.O.T.C. men who are juniors in school will not go to camp this summer. They will be allowed to finish their senior year and then, after their graduation, will spend 10 weeks in some training camp before becoming commissioned officers in the U.S. army. At what camps they may receive training is not known.
New orders may be issued by the war department any time.

'Charley's Aunt' Cast Comedy to Hill
Don't get too excited now (please save most of your rejoicing until next week), but last night our Jayhawkers slipped the joy stick into reverse and proceeded to practically back into the Big Six title and the right to represent the Fifth district (including the Big Six, Missouri Valley, and all comers) in the Western Division play-offs of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament in Kansas City March 20 and 21.
BY CHUCK ELLIOTT, Kansan Sports Editor
Rehearsals for "Charley's Aunt," farce comedy scheduled to be presented on the Hill sometime next month, will swing into action after the announcement of the cast today by Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech and director of the play.

more. Dee Ellen Naylor, college senior, will take the part of Ela.
Although the play is over 50 years old, it has been revived by both professional and amateur groups in the past two years. Based upon the common idea of mistaken identity, "Charley's Aunt" was first produced in London in 1892, the first production continuing for four years.
Professor Calderwood explained that the remainder of the cast would be announced in a few days. A definite date for the presentation of the Branden Thomas play has not been decided.
The part of the real aunt, who is an English woman but takes on the Spanish name of Donna Lucia D'-Alvadorez after marrying a rich Portuguese gentleman, is taken by Edith Ann Collage, college sopho-

The third proficiency examination of the school year for students in the College will be given from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. next Saturday, J. B. Virtue, chairman of the committee on proficiency examinations, announced today.
Proficiency Exam To Be Saturday
(continued to page five)
To take the test Saturday students must register today or tomorrow at the college office. Students must bring their proficiency registration cards and pen and ink to the examination Saturday. Activity books must also be presented Saturday.
A passing grade on the examination is necessary before a student may receive his degree from the College. A student must also complete at least 20 resident hours after taking the examination.
The examination requires no specific knowledge of grammar or rhetoric, Professor Virtue said. The student will be required to write three short compositions on subjects suggested by the committee. Professor Virtue also announced that the fourth examination of the school year would be given on April 25 instead of May 2, as previously scheduled.

The social calendar is at a low ebb. Instructors to the scholarly are in the mood for quizzing and it is as good a time as later to settle down and clear the mind warped by weekend indulgence.
Some claim the "manic-depressive psychology of a nation Others are ranting at the weatherman, who has been up to his tricky hop, skips, and jumps from Russia-snow-cold to Indian summer in the past few days, bewailing him to stop trifling with the scheduled day of the erudite on Mt.

Faculty, Students View Sub Attack
Faculty Opinions--people. The attack seemed to underscore rather than kill the effect of the President's talk.
Most of the professors questioned on the subject of the sub attack last night seemed to hold the same belief, in general, although they looked at the situation from different points of view. The general opinions seemed to be that the Japs had hurt themselves by the attack and had helped to wake up the American
R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology: "It was a good thing. The Japs are poor psychologists. Just another Pearl Harbor in effect on the American morale. It just proves our vulnerability. Instead of offsetting the President's speech, it has the opposite effect."
Merle L. De Moss, instructor of mathematics: "The idea of the attack was to make the front pages of the U.S. papers and they succeeded in doing that."
Miss Mabel A. Elliott, associate professor of sociology: "I think American morale will be improved rather than shaken by the surprise attack on the west coast. If the Japanese attack were timed to interefere with the effect of the President's broadcast, it failed in its purpose, for it merely augmented his contention that we are in grave danger. It was in fact an illustration of his point and may make us conscious that we are in war."
W.H.O'Dell, instructor of English:
"Good thing. People need something to wake them up. It shows us that the President's warning that the war can be brought to our shores is not just a pipe dream."
H. B.Chubb, associate professor of political science: "It will stir the people up to what is going on. There will be a lot more of these hit-and-run attacks on the weaker spots of our coast."
Sing Contest Gains Two Entrants
Two more women's houses have boarded the Inter-Organized House Sing bandwagon, gringing the number of entrants in the singing contest to 10, Don Keplinger, chairman of the Student Union special programs committee, announced today.
The new entrants are Sigma Kappa and Corbin Hall.
The eight other contestants in the Union-sponsored Sing to be held in Hoch auditorium March 8 are Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Gama Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Pi Beta Phi.
E. R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education whose informal announcing is popular with H111 basketball crowds, will act as master of ceremonies at the Sing.

Reno, Nev. (UP)—Stanley WinnemUCCa, great, great grandson of Chief Winnemucca one of the greatest of Pitue warriors, has been accepted for enlistment in the U.S. Marines. Almost a century ago, the chief led his warriors to victory in the battle of Pyramid Lake.
Former Student Dies in Plane
James Robert Lewis, former University student, was killed early Friday morning when his plane crashed at Goodfellow Field, Texas, where he had been training as an aviation cadet.
Lewis attended the University two years, entering as a junior in the fall of 1939. He began his air training last fall.
Lewis was a student in the School of Business and a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. His home was in Independence, Kans.
Lunceford
Blues in Night
To Swing Out
The swing-stepping, hot-footed Mt. Oread wax-stompers will get a chance to dance to the "Masters of Rhythmic Syncopation," Jimmie Lunceford and hsi orchestra, at the Junior Prom, Friday night.
For individualistic music that is sweet and hot in low-down "Harlem Express" manner, Jimmie Lunceford is the band you will want to dance away those "Blues in the Night."
Collectively and individually the Jimmie Lunceford band is a versatile and dynamic musical group. His volume is fine and his swing emotional, and featured in solo work his music is something entirely out of this world. His sax section has a fullness—a bite.
Lois Worrel, fine arts senior, will present her senior recital at 8:00 tonight in Frank Strong auditorium
When rug cutters, dial twisters and disc devotees pick Jimmie Luncefords golden band for top spot, that means popularity. Several magazine polls have rated Lunceford first.
Originator of the "School of Jazz-
nocracy," the "Harlem Express," from the very beginning created a new vogue in dance rhythm. Lunce-
ford, too, first brought slang into music.
Lois Worrel To Present Senior Recital Tonight
The program of Miss Worrel, a piano student, will include: "Arioso" (Bach-Pirani); "Gavotte and Variations" (Rameau); "Sonata in G Minor" (Schumann); "Minuet" (Harold von Mickwitz); "Ereudliche Vision" (Ravel); "Etude in G Flat" (Moszkowski); and "Concerto No. 4 in D Minor" (Rubinstein).
WHAT HAPPENED
The orchestral parts will be played on a second piano by Prof. H.C. Taylor, Miss Worrell's instructor.
A large Japanese submarine rose to the surface of the Pacific a mile off the California coast, about eight miles north of Santa Barbara, and, while President Roosevelt was addressing the war-conscious nation, shelled the Bankline oil refinery.
Damage from the 15 shells fired was slight. Although authorities were silent today, it was expected that effective counter measures against the submarine were being taken.
The attack marked the first offensive threat against the United States coastline since World War I, when a German submarine ineffectively shelled Cape Cod in 1918.
Whipple CometVisible March 2
The Students Speak--and its effects on the morale of the people.
Cambridge, Mass.,—(UP)—With the aid of a small telescope, any amateur star gazer should be able to catch a glimpse of the newly-discovered Whipple comet the night of March 2.
The general opinion of the students followed that of the faculty members, although it was not as clear-cut. The attack was a mistake on the part of the Japs, according to most of the opinions received. Following are some opinions of students on the Hill concerning the attack?
Prof. Fred L. Whipple of Harvard observatory, who first spotted the comet, says that observation at that time will be aided by a rising moon, which will be totally eclipsed by the sun. He says that with the moonlight shielded, the comet should be visible just west of the moon's position.
Iven (Curly) Hayden, education junior: "It will make the people want to get in and go to work. It's just what the people of this country needed to wake them up."
Art Black, college junior: "Best thing that could have happened for the U. S. morale. It was a great gain by a very little loss and the Japanese were very dumb for doing it."
Sam Kneale, college junior: "It was a great thing to wake America up. Maybe the people will wake up to the fact that this country is really in a war. Maybe that's what we need, something to bring the war close to home."
Ferne Stone, college senior: "I don't think the people were at all prepared for it. It brought home to me the fact that the war is on our home front and that it must be a war of offense instead of defense. We must hit the Japs on their home ground first. We have a bigger job
than most of us realize. As the President said, we must speed up our war machine and do it now." Ralph Schaake, education junior, "In the Middle West the people aren't aware that we are at war. The attack is one indication that the Japs are more powerful than we thought. Our coastlines are too big for concentrated defense due to the fact that we are fighting on such distant fronts. We must wake up to these facts."
Pantomime Artists To Come April 13
Arthur Pollock, critic-writer of the Brooklyn Eagle, calls Miss Enters an astounding artist who can say almost anything with her face, hands, eyes and body.
Miss Angna Enters, pantomine artist, will give a program in Hoch auditorium April 13. Originally scheduled for that date was a lecture by Miss Dorothy Sands of the New York stage, which has been cancelled.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
If the Jayhawker basketball team didn't wake up in a good mood today they certainly got that way fast enough as soon as they looked at a morning paper. For on the sports pages the destiny of the 1942 cage machine at the University of Kansas was written.
--three straight games, after losing their first six.
It was nothing they did but what the other fellow did that counted last night. The Kansans had done their work to a high degree of perfection in 13 of their 15 games this season and that entitled them to a little glory on its own merit.
TO THE SUBSTITUTES THEIR JUST DUES
But the games across the Valley last night added a new chapter to Jay-hawker cage annals. Of course, this could all be premature and it isn't beyond the realm of possibility to see such a disaster fall on Mt. Oread, but with the breaks falling half way Phog Allen's cage crew should go on to win the Big Six title and enter the N.C.A.A. play-offs.
This year history could repeat itself but it isn't probable with the star-studded squad which Phog has at his disposal. With a starting five that can match any quintet in the country, Allen can rush substitutes of every nature into the fray at any point needed.
Only by dropping two of their three remaining Big Six engagements could the Jayhawks lose all chance of playing post-season games. Last year something similar to this occurred when the Jayhawks had two games left on the schedule and dropped both of them to move back into a tie with Iowa State and then lose out because the Cyclones had a better offensive-defensive ratio.
This ability to have substitutes who can carry the load in place of the regulars at times is one of the most valuable characteristics of this year's squad. The fellows like T. P. Hunter, Charlie Walker, Jack Ballard, Vance Hall, and Paul Turner help make Phog's starting five what it is today.
TUCKER IS NO SLOUCH, IT'S AGREED
Quoting from The Oklahoma Daily prior to the northern swing just completed by the Sooners, we find that both games had to "be won if the Kansas Jayhawks are not to carry off the bunting for just one more time too many."
It is a sorrowful task indeed to inform the Sooner school that it looks very much like the Jayhawks will come through with one more title but it's not one too many. It looks very much as if the Kansans will come through with their tenth title, undisputed or tied, in the 14 years of the existence of the Big Six.
Furthermore, it seems, according to The Oklahoma Daily, that all a person has to do to become a southerner and not a damnyankee is to move South across the Kansas border.
So the Sooner paper says, "Tucker, certain Yankee propaganda ministers have been loud to claim, is a Yankee himself, and a traitor. This, of course, is sheer rot. he has a true Sooner spirit and will have a chance to prove his mettle on northern battlefields for the first time this trip, although he was originally scheduled to do so some six weeks ago."
It must be admitted that Tucker proved his "mettle" while on the northern engagement. Any person that can score 17 and 25 points against Nebraska and Iowa State is a pretty fair ballplayer. What a game that will be at Norman Friday when Tucker makes his offensive stand against the Jayhawkers "big three," Ralph "Cappy" Miller, Charlie Black, and John Buescher.
The Daily Nebraskan is among the latest to jump on the Tucker bandwagon. Quoting from their Sunday issue following the Sooner victory over the Cornhuskers Saturday night, "Oklahoma's Gerald Tucker proved to Nebraskans last night at the coliseum that the carloads of publicity about him were not unwarranted. But though Held stuck on Tucker throughout the game, the Sooner ace just couldn't be stopped. His feinting, dodging and feeding on offense, and his tight defense play—especially on rebounds—was truly all-American play and definitely the deciding factor in the game."
FRIEL BELIEVES IN "UNIT SUBSTITUTION"
Odds and ends: Jack Friel, coach of the Washington State College team which won the Western collegiate championship last year, comes up with this suggestion concerning "Phog" Allen's expression of sympathy for overworked cage officials. Says Friel: "Referees who can't keep the pace should get in condition. But I don't believe we should hold the center jump rule responsible for all the ills of the game." Friel suggests "unit substitution" as a remedy for the faults of the modern game. Whenever his varsity shows signs of tiring he sends in an entirely new team. . . The Big Six is not the only conference that is having trouble with poor rule makers. . . . The Big Seven, mainly Wyoming, is complaining that the rule now in effect prohibiting teams to play in any post-season tournament other than the N.C.A.A. is unfair. . . . Wyoming, a team with a world of potentialities but beaten in three league games by too much publicity and petty jealousy, desires to show its true power in the National A.A.U. tournament at Denver next month but under the present set-up can not do so.
This same situation holds true in the Big Six where Oklahoma and Kansas were included among those teams that were suggested for competition in the basketball tournament to be held at the Garden in New York next month. Big Six rules likewise stipulate that a team may play in no games over the authorized 18 unless it is in the N.C.A.A. tournament or by special permission of the conference body (such games include those contests against Service teams such as Great Lakes). . . . This rule automatically rules out the Jayhawkers and Sooners but Phog Allen is definitely not even interested. . . . Ed Darden, the star K-State hurdler, took two hours of correspondence between semesters to enable him to compete this spring. . . . He spent his entire vacation period getting in the required number of lessons so as to be scholastically eligible.
3 Undefeated Teams Stay As End Nears
Despite its first defeat of the season by Phi Delta Theta, Newman I continued to hold its first place post in Division II intramural basketball during the past week as play-off time approaches in all divisions. Close on the heels of the faltering leader, however, is the smooth-playing Pi Kappa Alpha quintet.
Undefeated Phi Gamma Delta saw no action during the week and remained in the first place spot in Division I. Phi Kappa Psi added another victory to its season's record to move up into a challenging position.
Carruth Hall forged ahead in the red-hot Division III title scramble. Pursuing the hard-pressed leaders are the Hell Hounds and Newman II. The Crackerjacks fell behind with two losses.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon "B" squad pulled up into a tie with the Phi Delta Theta "B" team for the Division IV leadership. Phi Gamma Delta "B" continued on top in the Division V race.
The Phi Kappa Psi "C" squad holds the Division VI undisputed leadership, as the Phi Gamma Delta "C" team suffered its first defeat of the year to Phi Delta Theta. The Beta Theta Pi "C" squad continued to press the leaders.

BY DON KEOWN
Newman II Looks Poor
Bill Chestnut, chubby John Moore guard, was the best man on the court as he repeatedly caught the Newman defense off-guard with his fine ball handling. Bob Beli and Don Graham were the winner's threats, while Ed Price was the Coop high-point man.
Newman II looked like anything but a play-off contender last night as it muddled through a 34 to 17 victory over John Moore Coop, to move up to a half game behind the Division III leaders, Carruth Hall.
After trailing throughout most of the first half, the Clubmen tied the score at 11-up just before the end of the first half. At the end of the third quarter the winners still held but a two point lead, and it was not till the closing minutes of the game, with John Moore using substitutes, that the game became a run-away.
Mark McLain dumped in nine baskets for the A.T.O. squad, while Harold Wright, Alpha Chi Sigma ace, accounted for 12 points.
Chester Lebsack contributed 10 points to the A.K. Psi total, while John Cleverly racked up 8 for Sigma Nu.
Alpha Kappa Psi withstood a desperate last quarter Sigma Nu attack, after they had taken over the lead in the third quarter, to chalk up a 23 to 21 win. The Sig Nu's had led 12 to 8 at half-time.
Hallberg Dumps In 15 Points
Theta Tau could not stand the terrific last half pace of Phi Kappa Psi and fell 43 to 34. At half-time the losers had trailed by but two points.
Francis Domingo, intramurals veternan, took scoring honors for the engineers by collecting seven field goals. Teammate Ted Moser hit six baskets. Long John Hallberg batted in 15 points for the winners, with John Krum contributing 12 tallies.

Jayhawk Nibbles at N.C.A.A. Bait
(continued from page one) holiday. It seemed too good to be true and no one who hadn't actually heard the score over the radio would believe it.
When the Jayhawks went to Ames Jan. 19 they had just finished a grueling "rough and tumble" at Lincoln and had the matter of approaching finals on their minds. But to be outdone, the Iowa State students did their share by providing the most unruly crowd of the season as a background to the cage tilt.
Only Set Back Once
Then the Cyclone cagers were hot as Singapore under siege and the result was a 44 to 41 'riumph for the Iowa State lads. This was the first loss of the season for the Jayhawks and kinda' ruffled their feathers a wee bit.
Since then it hasn't happened again, at least not in a regularly scheduled game (but we better not forget the Great Lakes disaster.) Naturally, when the Cyclones paid their respects to Phog Allen and Co. by visiting Lawrence last Monday there was a little score to settle, and the Jayhawkers were in no hospitable mood, even though five of the Cyclones did their patriotic part by registering for the draft here in Lawrence that day.
As a result the Jayhawks put on their highest scoring exhibition in Kansas Big Six history and sent "Little Louie" Menze's Cyclones back to Ames as a mere puff of wind under a 60 to 44 score.
Oklahoma Gets Too Close
But Kansas wasn't through adding victories nor surprises to the ledger. The Oklahoma Aggies are a sad witness to this fact for Henry Pruz's crew suffered a very important shot in Hoch auditorium Friday night, 31 to 28.
After that game the Kansas record looked pretty salty indeed. In Big Six competition the Jayhawks had won six games and lost only one. Those pesky Oklahoma Sooners, however, had the same percentage. But things looked good for the Kansans because of the greater variance between their offensive and defensive scores than that shown by Oklahoma.
As far as the Missouri Valley was concerned the Oklahoma A. and M Cowboys were the bell-ringers and looked to be in a pretty secure position. They were undefeated and had just returned from Omaha where they had trounced their only real competition, Creighton, by a 31 to 22 count.
The situation at that time made it mandatory for Kansas to whip both Oklahoma A. and M. and Oklahoma U. this week to be sure of both the Big Six title and the right to participate in the N.C.A.A. playoffs.
Sooners Climb, Then Fall
But the past week-end had many games on tap and they proved to be of a very deciding nature. Saturday night Oklahoma won, as expected, but in a pretty tight game if you please, 46 to 41 over Nebraska. This put the Sooners in first place in the Big Six circuit with seven wins and one loss.
The next obstacle in their path to a championship was the Iowa State fray at Ames last night. And those Cyclones proved just as big a hurdle for the Sooners as they did for the Jayhawks. Undoubtedly the same situation prevailed as faced the Jayhawks, for the Oklahomaans
Interesting Developments to Jayhawk Cage Team
Creighton's Blue Jays dealt the Oklahoma Aggies the first defeat they have suffered on their home court since Southern California beat them in 1940 last night with a score of 31-29.
The Blue Jays, playing a tight zone defense, held the Aggies to only 12 field goals during the game. Ed Beisser, center man for this defense, was the outstanding Creighton player of the clash. The top two scorers for the game were Beisser, Creighton center, and Lonny Eggleston, forward for the Aggies, with 12 points apiece. At half-time the Oklahoma A. and M. cagers held a 20-15 lead over their visitors. It was not until the last five minutes of play that the Blue Jays pulled ahead of the scrapping Aggies. This victory for the Creighton s q uad moved them into a first place tie with Oklahoma A. and M.
The Kansas State Wildcats beat the cagers from Missouri by a score of 42-35 Saturday night, giving them two conference wins this season. The victory moved the Wildcats up into a tie with Missouri for the Big Six fifth place position.
Marlo Dirks paced the Kansas State quintet in a second half drive, with a total of 12 points, four field goals and four charity shots. Little Herbie Gregg was high scorer for the Missourians with a total of eight points, though he fouled out in the last period.
The Bengals poured it on in the first half to gain an 18-14 advantage over the Wildcats and this lead was not overtaken until the game was 12 minutes into the last half. The Kansas State cagers began to take up slack when sophomore center Dirks entered the line-up.
were naturally a little weary from their Saturday night game and the additional trip to I.S.C. was bound to take a little more ginger from their spirits.
All in all, with the Iowa State crowd doing its bit, it proved too much even for Gerald "Transplanted Yankee" Tucker and the Sooners rode the rails back to Norman today with thoughts only towards Friday night's engagement in their home tenement district with their favorite foe, Kansas, as a possible balm to the injury they suffered in defeat last night.
For the defeat plopped them back into second place with seven victories and two defeats compared with the stationary Kansas record of seven wins and one loss. Oklahoma's season will close with the Kansas game Friday and if they should win it would make a total of eight wins and two losses. Kansas could still tie for the title by winning its two remaining games against Kansas State at Manhattan and Missouri at Lawrence.
K.U. Could Top in N.C.A.A.
Wth the defeat of the Aggies, the Valley race is thrown into a tie and from a glance at the remaining games it looks as if each team will come through with no more losses. The season would then end in a deadlock and neither team would have any more right to represent the league than the other.
The question would then arise, "What team will represent the Big Six in determining the Fifth District representative to the N.C.A.A.?" This would be answered immediately by comparing the offensive and defensive marks of the two teams which would show that Kansas was entitled to the top spot.
With this deduction brought up to date, Kansas is the only team that needs to inquire about train
And since Kansas has already beaten both teams once, it seems logical that the Missouri Valley would be discounted in determining this district's competing team.
With the defeat of the Aggies, the thus decided, the Missouri Valley enters into the picture. That might have proved rather an embarrassing question until the Creighton-Oklahoma A. and M. game last night but now it appears to be settled fairly definitely.
schedules to Kansas City for the weekend of March 20-21.
Can Cinch It Tomorrow
But to make sure that this deduction does not prove false, it would be a very wise thing for Phog Allen to break the jinx which the Gallagher fieldhouse at Stillwater holds over him and have his team complete a sweep of the two-game series by knocking over Henry Iba's Aggies tomorrow night.
But this is in the future and it is only for us to wait and see. In the meanwhile, Phog is preparing his charges for the Southern invasion and they look right sprightly indeed.
To make the picture even brighter, it would seem like heaven indeed if the Jayhawkers continued their Oklahoma invasion by trouncing those Red-and-White Sooners before their 8,000-capacity partisan crowd and thus do away with all subsidiary claims to the Big Six title.
Team Morale Shines Out
The Iowa State Cyclones scored a thrilling victory over Oklahoma last night, 46-43, to leave Kansas alone at the top of the Big Six conference. Even though Gerald Tucker scored 25 points for the Sooners, they failed to outscore the hard-fighting Cyclones.
In practice last night better spirit was shown than at any time this year. Undoubtedly, several things contributed to this fact but it still remains that no dissension is present on the squad and the entire group was hustling in a highly jocular mood.
In a short inter-squad scrimage Murray Brown played the post position for the Reds and the players continually ribbed him by calling him "Tuck." Vance Hall, who was guarding Ralph Miller, also received more than his share of jibes as he was dubbed "Ug" for A. D. Roberts, speedy Oklahoma forward.
Ten To Oklahoma
Ten players were selected by Doctor Allen to take the trip into Oklahoma. They are Ralph Miller, Charlie Black, John Buescher, Ray Evans, T. P. Hunter, Marvin Sollenberger, Charlie Walker, Jack Ballard, Vance Hall, and Paul Turner. The players will leave tonight on the 10:56 Santa Fe and arrive at Perry, Okla, tomorrow morning. After stopping there for a rest the team will take the bus to Stillwater tomorrow night for the game. They will take the train to Oklahoma City from where they will take a bus to Norman, arriving on the Sooner campus Thursday afternoon.
The Iowa State quintet was paced by Bob Harris with a total of 16 points, 12 of them from the field. Al Budolfson and Carol Schneider were also hot with 11 and 13 points respectively. Tucker tallied 11 field goals and three free throws but got little help from his teammates Roberts being the second high Sooner scorer with 5 points. Both teams tallied nineteen field goals, but the Cyclones made eight charity shots to the Sooners five.
Kansas will meet Oklahoma at Norman Friday in the decisive game of the season.
This victory for Iowa State put Kansas in the Number 1 spot in Big Six conference play. The Oklahomaans have won seven games and lost two for a percentage of .778 while the Jayhawkers hold an .857 percentage with six wins and only one loss.
—FOR VICTORY: BUY BONDS-
The Oklahoma Sooners defeated the Huskers from Nebraska 46,41, on the latter's own court Saturday night to jump into the shoes of the top basketball team in the Big Six conference.
With only three minutes left to play, Gerald Tucker, Oklahoma forward, dropped a pivot shot to break the 41-41 tie. Paul Heap tallied three more points for the Sooners, with a free throw and a field goal, before the final gun to give the Oklahoma quintet victory.
Twice the Huskers tied the score, coming up from the short end of a 28-19 reading at half time, to make the score 39-all in the middle of the second half. The Oklahomaans took the lead by two points when Dick Reich broke this tie with a set-up, but Elson soon balanced the score again by sinking a long shot for the Sooners.
Gerald Tucker was the high scorer for the game, tallying 17 points for the Oklahomaans. His excellent rebound work under the Nebraska basket was a decisive factor in the game. Held of Nebraska followed him closely with a total of 13 points in his last basketball game at Lincoln.

The KANSAN Comments...
Presidential Reassurance
President Roosevelt, in his address last night, told Americans some things they were glad to hear. There has been doubt and misgiving in certain quarters as to the extent of damage at Pearl Harbor. The President's figures were reassuring. The number of officers and men killed there was 2,340; the wounded numbered 946. Only three of the ships present at Pearl Harbor were damaged beyond repair, and the President assures us that the rest have already rejoined the Pacific fleet, or are now undergoing repairs that they may soon rejoin it.
Remarking that the Japanese do not know how many of our airplanes they damaged, and that he wasn't going to tell them, the President told the nation that the number was considerably smaller than the number of Japanese planes destroyed by our forces to date.
But even more reassuring than the truth about Pearl Harbor was the statement that the United Nations will soon take the offensive, that we will win the final battles, and that we, not they, will dictate terms of the peace. But, although the good news of Pearl Harbor may fall under the classification of fact, the prediction cannot be otherwise designated than as optimism and hopeful conjecture.
Naturally, everyone who is an American hopes that ours will be the final victory. Everyone knows that we must dictate the terms of peace or lose forever what we have sacrificed to maintain our freedom. But it will be done on the production line and in the army and navy, and not by those who make roseate predictions. The President is in a position to know more about production and military activity than any other man in America, or in the world. Perhaps he speaks with the conviction that comes with the realization that we are producing in considerable quantities, and that we soon can produce in adequate quantities. Or, perhaps he is seeking to reassure a people who are impatient with the time required to convert plants and obtain materials. Perhaps he knows that in time we will have enough material and men to conquer the enemy.
But even if he doesn't know it—if he only hopes that it may be, like other Americans, he is still doing a service by reassuring the people. The vast quantity of energy we have expended in the past few weeks in sniping at each other may now be turned to constructive effort, and constructive effort will win the war.
Sensitive souls, these Kansans. One sergeant avoids that military squeak by wearing a pair of shoes, well broken in by his uncle who wore them in France in 1918.

Something that was formerly believed impossible—a county has been found which has no lawyers.
There's no doubt that women suffer more in war than men. Nasty hosiery manufacturers now promise to cut shades of leg-wear from 75 to 4 varieties. Women, long reproachful, will begin to agree with General Sherman.
Many hopes must have been shattered by the edict from Washington that draft board members cannot rule on their own cases, but must turn them over to the neighboring board.

Rock Chalk Talk
BETTY WEST
Clint Kanaga, erstwhile Phi Delt sports writer, got up and unhappily left a classroom five minutes after a predatory professor gave the class a shotgun. The teacher barred his way at the door, and peering suspiciously at him, said, "Well, Mr. Kanaga, you really must have known your lesson."
"Quite the contrary, sir, quite the contrary," said Clint as he squirmed out the door.
Fhi Gam John Gleissner who is pinned to Mary Frances McKinney works in Wichita, couldn't make it to Lawrence last weekend in time for the Pig Dinner. When he finally did arrive, and they decided to walk to the Hawk for a coke, Mary Frances was still feeling awfully martyred about missing the part she had been looking forward to for many weeks.
---
As they neared the Hawk, Johnny handed her a small box, and said, "Well, Mary Frances, here is your Pig Dinner." Inside was not a pig, not even a little bitsy one, but a very lovely diamond.
Some men are sensitive about their ages. And some are not. Mike O'Donnell, who has just recently left the microbic age of 17, had Sunday dinner with the Kappa's. At a psychological moment, a very nice birthday cake with six candles blazing bravely on it was placed before him. Rising to the occasion, Mike thanked the girls for the cake, and at the same time called their attention to a slight error.
"This cake should have about three more candles on it," the senile O'Donnell insisted.
nical nor even true, but it is certainly interesting.
A Women's-Eye View Of The Basketball Team
"Red" Ettinger symbolizes a fighting spirit and temper which intrigues the college miss, if it doesn't attract.
So, let's take a look at the basketball team from the women's standpoint. Girls, too, have opinions of the men who win our games for us. These opinions are as far from a true sportsman's mind as a fashion page of a paper. Silly, unjust, or vague, as the case may be, they are still responsible for half the cheers from the sidelines. Each girl has her favorite player, her dream man, for whom she devotes most of her vocal ability. Interesting are the feminine shouts heard above the roaring of the crowd
For the last few weeks we have been listening and hearing about our basketball team from men who know the game inside out. We appreciate the fact that we can hear and learn the technical points about our team which escape the ordinary fan I think there is another side of our basketball team, however that some of us never hear anything about. It may not be technical nor even true, but it is $ \textcircled{1} $
Hit Paraders
More interesting, yet, however are the feminine bull sessions which unfailingly follow every game. It is here that the virtues and faults of every member of the team is brought out and discussed. Each girl usually has a player whom she feels is worthy of her support. She will argue for him as strongly as she would for her favorite perfume. Fortune is the player who is glamorous enough to have the undying support of these fans.
Let's look over the team the way the girls do. First, let's take Buescher. Why? Simply because most girls do. Vance Hall! Sure, he's in the running! An argument between a BUESCHER fan and a Vance Hall fan is something none should miss. One picks beauty and the other playing ability. I'm not saying that Johnnie BUESCHER isn't handsome or that Vance Hall can't play ball, but these are two main points girls pick their basketball heroes on. Another attraction of BUESCHER is that, as far as most girls know, he's footloose. The field is clear.
By Betty Perkins
Vance Hall's looks keep girls from giving up even though the field may not be so clear. "He's really cute!" they say.
T. P. Hunter is another great favorite. T. P. rates because he resists plain swell. (No Frankenstein by any means, either!)
Ballard's fun. Fun to watch playing basketball and fun to know. On girl remarked, "I like him because he has nice long arms." The better t play basketball with, my dear!
Charlie Black, because he can play a game and hit what he aims for, is also the subject of many girls' dreams Of course the fact that he's married may crush a few hopes, but he can still play ball.
Bueseher On Top
Buescher seems to head the popularity poll. Miller and Evans run close second, followed by Tiff Hunter. Reasons why these players are admired by the girls are difficult to explain. Each girl has a different reason for liking a different man. You know women!
I don't want to suggest the idea that girls don't rate men on playing ability. They do, but there are so many other things they take into consideration.
Marvin Sollonerber is the gentle man. He seems to live as he plays game, quietly and sincerely.
Ralph Miller is "hooked," but, a goes the old saying, "There's many ship—". Miller's another who can throw to win. He has an attractive quality that is hard to put in words. He has got "It."
Ray Evans is considered one of the best sports in the game. "He just never gets mad." He never shows off and, as I was told by one girl, "He has the best figure in the game." Well!
Evans A Good Sport
In spite of the information gather about basketball stars' popularity, still insist that if Vance Hall was alowed to play more often, well—1

Glee Clubs Sing Novelties Concert 'Streamlined'
BY DEAN SIMS
The formally attired Men's and Women's Glee Clubs last night gave their annual spring concert in Hoch auditorium before a minimum-sized crowd.
In keeping with the times, the concert was opened with the audience joining with the two choral groups in singing the "Star Wrapped Banner," under the $^a$
insection of Joseph F. Wilkins.
The combined glee clubs then sang he classical "Kermesse," from Faust" (Gounod).
The Women's Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Irene Peabody, then offered a group of four songs, all a trifle on the serious side: "O Death is Cool Refreshing Night" (Brahms-Fitch); "Sapphic O d e" (Brahms-Duane); "The Message" (Brahms-Douty); and "Slumber, Beloved One" (Ravel-Douty). Feature Crall Dicker.
The last number of the Women's Ilee Club's first group, "Slumber, Beloved One," featured Virginia Isell, fine arts junior, and Midge Dickey, college freshman, in soprano and alto solos.
Changing from the feminine to he masculine, the concert presented he Men's Glee Club, directed by Joseph Wilkins, in a group of four songs: "Tenebrae Factae Sunt" Palestrina); "The Scissors-Grinder" Flemish folk song arranged by (ungst); "Turn Ye to Me," (Scotch olk song) featuring Bill McIntire, engineering junior, in a tenor solo; and "Ay, Ay, Ay," (Creo song, arranged by Stickles).
The Women's Glee Club returned with a group of four songs of modern contemporary composers, strongly contrasting with the four versions of the first appearance. the women, sang the "Ghosts of the White Birches" (Travis-Krone); The Sleep that Flits on Baby's eyes" (Carpenter-Threahre); "When day is Done" (Katscher-Lawrence); and "Ants" (Skeath-Blakeslee).
"When Day is Done" and "Ants" scored directly with the audience and brought forth more applause than any of the preceding numbers. "Mordern Mode Arrangements," ranged by Thelm Lehman, fine arts senior, included popular songs, such as "Sumertime" and "Arabella," and featured a group of feminine vocalists and violinists. The vocalists were Virginia Gsell, Georgia Ferrell, Betty Gsell, Helen Ed-
Christian Federation To Make Plans For Easter Program
The Student Christian Federation will meet tomorrow afternoon to complete plans for the promotion if an extensive Easter week program at the University, Dave Watermulder, college senior and president of the organization announced yesterday. The tentative program includes a day, "The Terrible Meek," by C. R. Kennedy, to be presented Palm Sunday evening in Fraser theatre by the dramatic workshop, an all-school evocation on Good Friday; an after sunrise breakfast; and a full-length, religious motion picture in eraser theatre on Easter evening. The Student Christian Federation, group representative of all the religious organizations on the Hill, has sponsored the Easter week program for several years. Because there is no easter vacation this year, Watermulrer said, activities on the Hill during easter week would be extended.
lin, and Midge Dickey. Violinists were Betty Haney, Jeanne Crites, Virginia Markley, and Marjorie Jones.
The "Modern Mode Arrangements" group was unique in that it was a sort of "streamlined" version of the conventional glee club recital. The Women's Glee Club members taking part in this number thrilled the audience with their unison of action and caperlings about the stage, while harmonizing on the well-known songs.
Men Give Musical Skit
"What the typical college man does with his time" was the theme of the musical skit put on by the Men's Glee Club, entitled "Joe College." The musical playlet was written especially for the K. U. Men's Glee Club by Jack Laffer, college graduate of '38.
Men taking part in the skit were Robert Schober, Deane Tack, Charles Avey, John Hayne, Don Mitchell, Scott Harvey, Willard Harris, Gerald McDonald, David Hax, and Warren Williams. The remainder of the glee club took part as a chorus. Clubs Combine in Finale
The musical skit put on by the men was well written, well enacted, and well received by the audience. The sharp contrast between this concert number and the usual and conventional one was so great that the audience quite "hungrily" consumed it.
Both glee clubs collaborated, aagain directed by Prof. Wilkins, to sing the most fitting closing that could possibly have been chosen for a concert of this caliber, the trio of University songs; "Tm a Jayhawk" (Bowles); "Onward Kansas" (Jack Laffer) and the traditional "Alma Mater."
Accompanied for the Glee Clubs were Thelma Lehman and E. Utley.
High Schools Invited to Enter News Contest
The call has gone out to more than 400 Kansas high schools to send in their entries for the twenty-second annual interscholastic newspaper contest.
Sponsored by the University department of journalism, the contest is held each year to promote and encourage the work in journalism which is being done in the high schools of this state. This year notices of the event are being sent to all high schools, rural or known to be publishing newspapers city.
Formerly, only those schools were notified; but many newspapers, some only mimeographed sheets have come into existence recently, and the department does not wish to overlook any, Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, explained.
The deadline for submitting entries in the contest is April 1. Newspapers will be given first, second, and third ratings in each of the eight divisions of the contest. A paper may submit only one entry for any division, but is encouraged to enter all of the divisions. Members of the department of journalism faculty will serve as judges.
The divisions of the contest are news story, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interview, service to school, business management, and miscellaneous.

M. S.C. TO TAKE--committee was outlined by Wright to the Council last night. Wright listed the 17 projects according to priorities set by the committee.
Activities receiving a priority of one were as follows:
1. Promotion of voluntary contributions to the national bank bank in cooperation with Watkins Memorial hospital.
2. Promotion of the Victory Book drive and the sending of magazines weekly to army camps.
3. Sale of defense bonds and stamps on the campus. Wright suggested that a War Defense Savings society be formed wherein members pledge themselves to buy a certain number of defense stamps each week.
4. Use of service flags by organized houses where members have joined the armed forces of the United States.
Stress Paper Saving
5. Use of a division of Watson library for war material and literature.
6. Saving campaigns of vital materials, such as paper (by organized houses), tin, tinfoil, electricity, and heat.
7. Promotion of the use of the Registrar's published information on the armed services.
8. An expanded summer school program. This does not mean Wright said, a three-semester year. It would involve two summer sessions, one of eight weeks and one of four weeks with a full program of campus activities. Such an arrangement would allow a student to receive a degree in two-and-a-half years.
Sending of letters and subscriptions of the University Daily Kansas to University graduates in the armed forces.
Plan Campus Discussions
War defense activities with the committee priority of two were:
1. Promotion of campus discussions on the ideas and ideals of democracy.
2. An expanded physical education program to include afternoon calisthenic classes, hiking clubs, and an extension of the intramural program.
3. A series of newspaper articles and talks on the general theme,
"Yes, the war does affect you at K. U."
4. Individual contributions of a package of cigarettes, an old book.
or of a defense stamp at chapter meetings of organized houses, to be given to the U.S.O. for use in the nation's army camps.
5. "Penny boxes" on the campus marked with the names of individual army camps. Contributions placed here would be sent to the U.S.O. at the various camps.
Name Grade Three Projects
Other projects, with a priority of three, were:
1. Promotion of salvage boxes on the campus for the conservation of vital materials.
2. Non-credit first aid courses to be taught by the staff of Watkins Memorial hospital in conjunction with the American Red Cross.
3. Registration of students for industrial and agricultural employment during the summer.
The program, as outlined by Wright and the committee, is one of the most extensive and comprehensive yet adopted by American universities. Wright stated last night, "Our purpose is to create a feeling of responsibility among the students with regard to the war, to direct student activities into channels beneficial to themselves, and to do what we can to aid the government in pursuance of a successful war effort."
The committee has set up their headquarters in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building. Their office hours are from 10 a.m. to 12 o'clock noon on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
CHEKHOV EMPLOYS---
Art theater. He first toured America in 1935, and in 1938 established his studio theater in Connecticut.
Modern Design
Unlike the early touring companies, which traveled by train, the Chekhov company is making its tour in station wagons and automobiles for the company and trucks for the scenery, costumes, and properties.
Chekhov has tried a new treatment of the old technical problem of intermissions between scenes by continuous action throughout the play, gaining pace and providing novelty. Although there are 11 scenes, the curtain is lowered only once during the entire show. Transitions between scenes are made a part of the dramatic movement of the play without a break or a slow-up in action. There are no shifts from scene to scene, but rather, transitions from mood to mood.
Quick Change Artists
In place of the customary canvas and wood "flats" used to indicate interiors, reversible satin curtains of many colors fastened like banners to long poles have been constructed and are set in place by the actors and suddenly a street scene becomes a chamber, the banners serving as the walls of a room or palace. Wherever possible, all sets are reversible and almost by a twist of the hand a jail becomes a cellar.
The ticket office in Green hall will not be open for the production of "Twelfth Night." No seats will be reserved for the performance. Activity ticket holders and season ticket holders will be admitted upon presentation of their tickets at the door. Single admission tickets will go on sale at the ticket office in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.
COLLEGE GRADES--current report with the survey of 1929 shows that incomplete are down 50 per cent, and that the number of failures reported has also been cut in half. On the other end of the scale, the number of A's and B's has increased from 44.3 per cent in 1929 to the present all-time high of 50.2 per cent.
Introduction of many scholarships for Hill students has been in a large measure responsible for the improved grade averages, Dean Lawson believes. For example, the University now has more than 50 Summerfield students who must maintain a point 2.5 grade average to retain their grants. There are 80 girls at Watkins and Miller who must maintain at least a B average. Twenty-five girls benefit by the Donnelly scholarships, and must maintain a high grade scale.

Nelson to Give Inside Story of Nazi Germany
Dr. Frank Nelson, formerly a member of the American legation in Oslo, will speak at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theater on the subject, "I Saw Norway Fight Back."
The traveler, linguist and political expert will give the inside story of Nazi terror in Norway and will tell how he saw the Norwegians fight bravely when their nation was invaded in April. 1940. At that $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
time Nelson was an emergency clerk in the American legation in Oslo.
Dr. Nelson will base part of his talk on his experiences with the Norwegians while he was guest professor of English literature at the University of Oslo.
Prior to this guest professorship, Nelson taught English at the Polytechnic Institute of Puerto Rico and the Municipal University of Wichita. He was the first American ever invited to lecture on English literature at the Norwegian University.
Upon the invasion of Norway by the Germans, Dr. Nelson volunteered his services to the American legation. Because of his mastery of the Norwegian language and his unquestioning," an act which required Norway he was entrusted with the writing of confidential political reports for the consulate general.
Although innocent of any crime, in December, 1940, he was taken prisoner in Oslo's notorious Mollergaten jail. He was taken there for "questoosing," an act which required

Chekhov Cast Takes Over Hoch Tonight
Mrs. Lauretta Trickey Corkill has resigned as reference librarian and is being replaced by Miss Lea Lash. Miss Anne Mueller is now order librarian, and Miss Esther Norman is assistant at the circulation desk.
Lovers of Shakespearean drama will have an opportunity to see actors of a full production company enact a popular seventeenth century comedy when the curtain rises on Michael Chekhov's presentation of "Twelfth Night" at 8:15 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
Presenting the play in English for the first time, the Russian company and its director were praised by Broadway critics after a New York engagement. "Mr. Chekhov has schooled his youthful players to capture the ribaldry, the buoyant buffoonery, the racy fun that Shakespeare visioned," said Robert Coleman, New York critic. Other critics commended the play as "a triumph of dramatic art in every way."
Act in Eight Nations
Including his native Russia, Chekhov has acted or directed plays in eight countries: The United States, England, France, Germany, Austria, Lithuania, and Latvia. Indicative of his genius is the fact that he has directed successful productions in languages with which he was totally unfamiliar.
Such was the case when Chekhov left Russia to work with the Habrina players, a Hebrew language group. His production of "Twelfth Night" with this group in Berlin, brought high praise from the critics.
Leading characters in Chekhov's group are Beatrice Whitney Straight in the part of Viola, Ford Rainey as Sir Toby Belfan, Ronald Bennett as Sabastian, Sam Schatz as Malvolio, John Flynn as Orsino, Margaret Draper as a servant and Maria, and Mary Lou Taylor as Olivia. Other members of the cast are Mary Haynsworth, Alan Harkness, Al Boylan, Hurd Hatfield, and Joseph Mood.
Shakespeare's lusty comedy centers around the old theme of mistaken identity. Although the play is believed to have been given first in London in 1601, it quickly became a continuous favorite with touring companies throughout the American states after its first presentation in this country in 1794.
Plot Has Old Theme
Critics have honored the former director of the Second Moscow Art theater by saying, "Chekhov loses nothing of the uproarious humor that makes the immortal Shakespearean comedy as timely today as it was in the beginning of the seventeenth century and as it will be hundreds of years from now."
This presentation of "Twelth Night" is the third production sponsored by the department of speech and drama this year. Activity tickets will admit holders to the play upon presentation of the tickets at the door. No seats will be reserved for the production.
Applications of candidates for offices on the Women's Self-Governing Association council must be registered with a senior board of W.S.G.A. between 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. tomorrow in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, Doris Twente, W.S.G.A. president, has announced. The women's election will be held on Thursday, March 12.
Forum Discusses War Problems
About 150 students gathered in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building at 4:30 yesterday afternoon to hear a round table discussion of "Labor, Industry, and the War." The panel lasted for an hour and the various problems that the war presented in these fields were thoroughly aired.
Three experts on the situations, Hilden Gibson, assistant professor of political science and sociology, Domenico Gagliardo, professor of economics, and Joe Murray, managing editor of the Lawrence Journal World, presented their opinions on the subjects brought before the group.
Among the topics brought up were the rights of labor to strike during the war effort and the duty of labor and industry to the war program. The meeting was for general discussion and not to decide any issue. Students attending had a chance to gain good background materials on which to base their own opinions on the problems which arise under the war program.
The meeting was the first in a series of five to be sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. The dates for the four remaining meetings have not been set as yet. There will be one more round table discussion and three hour talks dealing with the general topic of "America at War."

Glee Club Is Contestant Men Aim at N.Y.
The University men's glee club has been nominated for competition in the Pleasure Time national college glee club contest sponsored by Fred Waring, Prof. Joseph F.

The contest will be condu winners will compete for the national prize. Regional competition will be judged by recordings made by the glee clubs, but the regional survivors will go to New York at the sponsor's expense for the final contest. For the contest, the University club will sing three numbers: the prize song, a special arrangement of "Loch Lomond," by Fred Waring; "Tenebrae Factae Sunt," by Palestrina; and "The Banner of Old K.U." written
for the University by Waring himself.
"The purposes for which this competition is proposed," said Waring, "are to search out, recognize, and reward the outstanding undergraduate male college glee clubs in the United States, to further stimulate public interest in group singing, and to enable those interested in music education to familiarize themselves with radio technique through the experience of others."

Keep Spirit High Women Must Build Morale Keep 'Em Smiling
Every day the men of our country are being called for active duty in the army of the United States. The women's part in this war is not so vital or pressing. Nevertheless, there are many so-called unimportant things women can do to help keep the morale of the men at a high peak. Before the men go, or, even after they go, the women's job is to keep their spirit high.
Can trey do it? At least they can try.
By Betty Lou Perkins
So women, here are a few suggestions for you to consider; Let's try to make the men eager and proud to wear the uniform for old U.S.A. God bless her! $ \textcircled{1} $
First, you could make the men realize that women like the uniforms of the army, navy, and marines. You do, don't you?
You should put the soldier on a pedestal; make hi ma hero. He really is, you know, so why shouldn't he be made aware of it? Your theme song should be, "There's Something About a Soldier!"
If you would sigh when you see broad shoulders of our army going down the street, and say to your escort, "Isn't he handsome in that uniform?", the next day there will be a new recruit in the army. Of course, it will take away the extra men around, but it's better to lose them to the army than to Hitler.
Keep 'Em Smiling
Going away to the army is a hard part of the men's duty. You can help in this, too. Wish them a sweet goodbye and offer to wait forever. A few may want to wait as "Arambella" does with someone else's arms about you but, at least you can wait.
Some girls go so far to keep up a man's morale that they marry them. That is really an example of burning patriotism.
For the men who aren't going away, there are other things you willing women can do. For example, offer to walk and use the rubber on your heels instead of your date's car tires. Convincing arguments can back this suggestion, such as the walk will be good for you, and may make the way home a little longer, therefore -sweeter! -and so forth.

Don't be pessimistic—there are a few cars left on the hill! When you offer to walk, your date will feel inspired by your devotion to your country, and will probably leave on the next train for Fort Leavenworth. Isn't that swell?
If you can do nothing else, at least pin a "V for Victory" pin on your coat and flash it about in classrooms. It may be a reminder, at least.
Choking and joking aside, our men have a real job ahead of them and it's not going to be easy! So the women must take up their job on the home battle front.
Important! At Last.

Fire at Alien Planes Above Los Angeles
By UNITED PRESS
Los Angeles, Feb. 25—Unidentified aircraft in two waves swept over the Los Angeles county coast early this morning and were greeted by blasts of gunfire that continued for nearly two hours.
During the height of the activity, and while the entire coastline from Santa Monica to San Diego was blacked out, an undetermined number of Japanese were arrested on the Venice pier for signaling with flashlights.
Searchlights swept the skies and on at least one occasion caught a group of planes directly in the cone over Long Beach. Police who witnessed the episode said they could not determine whether any plane was hit by the bursting shells.
Penetrate Five Miles
The first flight came over the coast at a point over Redondo Beach and apparently penetrated about five miles in the direction of the municipal airport and North American Aviation's plant before cutting to the south and disappearing in the direction of Long Beach.
The second wave came in over the Palos Verdes hills and also swung south and out to sea near Seal beach.
It was assumed that army craft had taken to the air to pursue the unidentified craft. Witnesses told of seeing planes leaving various fields, although reports from Long Beach indicated the squadron based there was merely "on the line" and "alerted." The aircraft first were detected at 2:22 a.m. and a blackout of Los Angeles county was ordered at 2:25 a.m. Seachights Fan Sky
Watchers on the rooftops of the United Press Bureau saw at least 30 searchlights sweeping the skies in a wide are from Manhattan Beach on the west to the Santa Monica mountains on the north.
Concussion of the shells could be felt in downtown Los Angeles, 15 miles away.
There was no official comment immediately available from army sources.
The gunfire brought the war to the front door of this city of 1,250,000 for the first time since Dec. 7. Already it had been placed on the alert because of presence off the southern California coast of a Japanese submarine which had pumped 25 shells into an oil field north of Santa Barbara Monday night.
The blaze of guns reddened the horizon for approximately 20 minutes, starting in the vicinity of Manhattan Beach on the outskirts of Los Angeles and moving south.
Long Beach lies at the lower end of vital Los Angeles harbor, southern California shipbuilding center.
The lights and firing ceased momentarily after about a half an hour. Then at 4 a.m. action resumed.
Anti-aircraft searchlight batteries from all directions played on a single area. Long Beach police said planes were seen in the air. Residents of Palos Verdes, in the hills between Long Beach and Manhattan, said they heard motors of planes, but the sound disappeared after the guns went into action.

Students Preview Swing
Lunceford Friday
Most of the Hill hep-cats are getting a sneak preview of the music to be presented at the Junior Prom Friday night in the Memorial Union ballroom. With Jimmie Lunceford appearing in the picture, "Blues in the Night," at the Granada theater and with the nickelodeons over the Hill playing his recordings, his music should be familiar to all Mt. Oread jazz lovers.
The change in the styles for which the colored band leader is famous is very popular with the dancers. Lunceford's band
is noted for playing hot jazz, smooth syncopation, and sweet swing.
As the creator of the "Harlem Express," Lunceford has often been called the man of many styles. His band has its own distinctive style, which is famous throughout the country. Add to this the fact that his group of talented musicians can copy the styles of most of the famous bands in the country and you have something that is worth listening to.
Lunceford's career as a musician is often compared with that of the "King of Jazz," Paul Whiteman. Both attended college, Lunceford graduating from Fisk as a four degree honor man in 1925. Both have toured Europe with their bands.
As creator of the Lanceford "School of Jazznocheracy," Jimmie has gained popularity. In high school and magazine polls during the past five years the group has been among the top ten big name bands in the nation.
Schoewe Announces Amber Deposits
Amber has been found in Kansas along the banks of the Smoky Hill river about 5 miles south of Carneiro in Ellsworth county, W. H. Schoewe, professor of geology, announced in the current issue of the University newsletter.
This amber is light butterscotch in color, waxy, shiny as if polished, and is made up of concentric bands somewhat like those in agate. The specimen received by Professor Schoewe from George Jelinek of Ellsworth is estimated to be at least 60,000,000 years old.
Musicale Presents Trio And Quintet
Amber, Prof. Schoewe explains is not only light in color but also light in weight. Amber can be differentiated from the modern gums by the fact that amber will sink in a salt water brine while modern gums will float.
The newsletter is a monthly publication, the material for which is furnished by the Kansas State Geological Survey and mailed out by the University to the 400 weekly newspapers in the state.
Selections by a trio and woodwind quintet will be broadcast over the KFKU musicale tomorrow at 6:15.
The article on amber appears in the March release of the newsletter. This release also contains articles on volcanic ash in Kansas and lime.
The program includes "Trio in E Flat" (Haydn) by the trio. Members of the trio are Marvin Zoschke, violin; John Ehrlich, cello; and Eugene Jennings, piano. The woodwind quintet numbers are yet to be selected.

The committee in charge of interviewing the applicants will include Charles McCreight, chairman; Harry O'Kane, Y.M.C.A. secretary; Roberta Tucker, Y.W.C.A. secretary; Bob McElfresh, retiring K-book manager; Emily Jean Milam, retiring K-book editor; Marjorie Rader, W.S.G.A. representative; and Fred Lawson, M.S.C. representative.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Games during the past few days have made many changes in the conference scramble over the country. In the Southwest Conference the race was thrown into a tie when the Texas Longhorns humbled the Arkansas Razorbacks, 58 to 37, Saturday. This defeat was only the second in six years for Arkansas on their home floor. The other defeat was also by Texas in 1940 Rice added two wins to its record as Bob Kinney, towering Owl center, made 40 points in victories over Texas Christian and Southern Methodist over the weekend. If the Southwest Conference follows the practice of the Big Six in determining their N.C.A.A. representative in case of a title tie, Rice will be the Kansas City traveler for their offensive-defensive ration is higher than that of Arkansas.
ILLINOIS ALMOST HAS IT CINCHED
Looking westward the roundup shows that the Missouri Valley was thrown into a tangle, probably permanent, when Creighton bumped off Oklahoma A. and M. Monday night to give each team one loss to the other. No other teams are within striking distance and this tie seemingly will oust the two schools from N.C.A.A. consideration. It would be a likely prospect indeed to see one of them accept the offer of Ned Irish and play in the invitational tournament in Madison Square Garden in New York next month.
In the Big Ten Illinois practically cinched the title Monday night when they edged past the defending Big Ten and N.C.A.A. championship team, the Wisconsin Badgers, 45 to 43, and made their record read 11 wins and 1 loss. The Illini's closest competitor, Indiana, knocked itself out of title consideration by bowing to the Iowa Hawkeyes, 55 to 52. These two teams are now tied with Minnesota in second place with 8 victories and 4 defeats. With three games remaining for all teams it would be necessary for Illinois to lose to Northwestern, Iowa, and Purdue and have one of the first triumvirate sweep their remaining engagements to change the standings to any appreciable extent.
In the Big Six our Jayhawkers ascended to the pinnacle when Iowa State pulled out with a surprise three-point victory over Oklahoma and kicked the Sooners into second place. This, however, can easily be changed Friday night at Norman when the Jayhawks cut capers with the Sooners in one of the most talked about games of the year.
KANSANS REALLY MOVE FOR COLORADO
Colorado continued on its unmerciful rampage as the Buffaloes pounded out a 59 to 28 triumph over the Denver University Pioneers for their ninth straight Big Seven win. If Brigham Young is shellacked at Boulder Saturday night, the Buffaloes will have the title sewed up. In the Denver game Saturday Leason McCloud racked up 16 points to make his nine-game conference record total 135 points and average 15. Last year he totalled 156 points for 12 conference games for an average of 13. Bob Doll has averaged 12.6 points against Denver, is averaging 9.4 points a game. Colorado now has a team average of 57 points a game offensively and 37.7 points defensively.
On the West Coast it is still a hot and heavy struggle. Friday night Washington whipped Oregon State, 47 to 40, to climb into a second place with the Webfoots just behind Washington State. The next night, however, Oregon State came back to knock off the Huskies, 51 to 41, and take over undisputed second place with nine wins and five losses. The race was further complicated Monday night when cellar-dwelling Oregon trampled the top-notch Washington State Cougars, 41 to 27, and pull the latter down into a first place tie with Oregon State. This puts Washington State and Oregon State on top with nine victories and six defeats and the University of Washington ranks next with eight wins and six losses. The Northern title will be settled this week as Washington State takes on Washington at Seattle for the final two conference games of the season. Oregon State has easier sledding, playing Idaho in two games at the Webfoot homestand.
ITS RICE. KANSAS. COLORADO. STANFORD
The Southern division finds Stanford leading the pack with not too much to worry about. Seven wins and one loss is the Indian record with Southern California in second place with three defeats. Stanford still has a pair of games left with Southern Cal and also two with California before closing conference play but should remain on top of the heap. When the two Pacific Coast divisions meet in their play-off to decide their N.C.A.A. representative Stanford appears to be in the most favorable spot to come East.
With this quick summary of the four western divisions of the N.C.A.A. it is possible, but still not very safe, to hazard a guess as to the four teams which will compete in the Western play-offs in Kansas City March 20 and 21. Rice, Kansas, Colorado, and Stanford are the choices of this column and what a pretty sight it would be to see four teams of such caliber fight it out under one roof for the Western title and the right to meet the Eastern winner a week later.
PHOG ALLEN'S PUPIL, RUPP, MAY COME
In the East the only things certain are that the play-offs will be held this year at New Orleans March 20 and 21 and that Illinois is the only sure cinch in any division. The Illini can hardly be knocked out of their present position and unless they refuse to participate they will be one of the top-ranking teams at New Orleans.
The other three divisions are spread over all the remaining territory east of the Mississippi excluding the Big Ten territory. In the South the best teams and those leading their leagues are Duke, Tennessee, and Kentucky but that doesn't mean a thing. For down there they play the conference schedule and then turn around and play an elimination tournament to decide the best team. Tennessee, which has lost one game to former K.U. graduate Adolph Rupp's Kentucky quintet, is seeded first with the Kentuckians next.

By DON KEOWN
With a flurry of goals in the last four minutes of playing time, Phi Kappa Psi last night scored a stunning upset over Phi Gamma Delta 42 to 32. It was the first Fiji defeat since the big purple machine fell before Sigma Chi last year.
The Psi squad had gotten off to an early lead in the first half, only to have the Phi Gam's come from behind to go out in front late in the third period. After the lead had again changed hands several times, the Psi aces found the range and Bill Hodge, Steve Meade, and John Hallberg hit from all over the court.
The winners led 12 to 7 at the end of the first period, and 20 to 17 at half-time, largely due to the fine rebounding of big Hallberg. For the early part of the third period it was a duel of goals between Hodge and Fiji ace Larry McSpadden, with the men in purple holding a two point lead midway in the final quarter.
Hodge started off the Phi Psi winning rally with a long shot, Hallberg and Meade followed with goals. A free throw by McSpadden was the only interruption as the Psi's poured in five more field goals.
Warren Lowen continued his recent role of hottest man in intramural ball as he dumped in 24 points while he and his Battentfield mates downed Newman III, 41 to 13.
Hallberg took scoring honors for the game with six baskets, while Hodge contributed 11 points and Meade eight. McSpadden rang up 11 points for the Phi Gam's.
With the former Ottawa high star sinking baskets from all over the court, the Battenfeld quintet went into a 25 to 11 lead at the end of the first half, and was never in trouble. Charles Fuller sank three baskets for the outclassed Newman aggregation.
The Fiji's remain in the first place position in Division I play with a half-game margin over their rivals. Lower Stays On Beam
Sigma Phi Epsilon had to come
Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it happen. They are certainly changing in intramural circles when a Phi Gamma Delta basketball five is outfought, outplayed, and beaten decisively as they were last night by Phi Kappa Psi, 42 to 32. Prior to last night's defeat, the Phi Gam's had rung up seven consecutive victories so they must be pretty good. Evidently
from behind to down Sigma Alpha Epsilon 23 to 19. The winners had trailed 11 to 8 at the beginning of the second half.
Don Widner, Sig Ep guard, collected six field goals for the game's scoring honors. Bob Bond led the Sig Alpha five with seven points.

Phi Gam's Defeated---
End of a Glorious Regime?
Possible But Not Probable
Two years ago, it was a rebounding redhead, Jim Morris, and a chunky ball-handler, Harold Long, that teamed with this same trio of last night's disappointment—Healy, Hambric, and McSpadden—to breeze to a division championship, battled their way to the finals, and then beat a highly regarded Alpha Kappa Psi队 by scores of 30-29 and 36-32. In both of these games, the Fiji's trailed until the closing five minutes, yet came out on top.
For two years this corner witnessed every game the purple-clad Fiji's participated in, and saw Healy, Hambric, McSpadden, and Company lose only twice in 28 starts, both losses coming by one-point margins at the hands of Sigma Chi, 15-14 and 25-24.
It Was Different Last Night
Pi Kappa Alpha thoroughly trounced the Delta Tau Delta quintet 46 to 18. Joe Crawford and Bill Mathews were the Pi K. A. stars with 12 points each. John Goheen accounted for 10 of the D.T.D. points. At half-time the Pi K.A. squad held a 19 to 8 lead.

their line-up, the Fiji's again wrecked all competition. In the finals, with an unbeaten Newman Club outfit favored to dethrone them, the Phi Gam's smashed through, by counts of 46-38 and 31-25. As usual, the spectacular scourge in lavender won their games in the final minutes.
Last night, however, the old fire and finish of former Phi Gam teams was missing. With five minutes remaining, the Phi Psi's and Phi Gam's were deadlocked at 29-all. Hodge, Meade, and others hustled and the final score was Phi Kappa Psi 42, Phi Gamma Delta 32. The end of a glorious regime?

Aggie Opposition For Second Time
Tonight the Jayhawkers play the first of their two-game Oklahoma invasion against the Oklahoma Aggies and hope to break the jinx which Stillwater has held over them in four previous engagements in Gallagher fieldhouse.
After losing to Kansas, 31 to 28, Friday night at Lawrence the Cowboys returned home and were beaten in another close game, 31 to 29, by Creighton. This defeat placed Creighton and the Aggies in a tie for first $ ^{\circledast} $
the Aggies in a tie for first place in the Missouri Valley conference.
The game tonight will have $ \varphi $ possible bearing on determining which team will represent the Fifth district in the N.C.A.A. play-offs in Kansas City. If the Booyboys win and Kansas goes ahead to win the Big Six the Missouri Valley may claim that they are entitled to a
play-off between the two champions of the conferences.
If the Jayhawkers win tonight the Big Six champion is practically assured of the play-off berth, even if it is Oklahoma or Kansas. Oklahoma's chances, however, will rest not only on its game Friday against the Jayhawks but also on their double engagement with the Cowboys March 6 and 12.

He went to the school, located in the heart of lower Manhattan, in 1934, and had three years remaining on a five-year contract. A clause held that the contract would expire automatically if intercollegiate football were dropped.
Missouri Game Cancelled
Automatically terminated was the contract of Dr. Marvin A. (Mal) Stevens, former Yale coach who had offered to take a sizeable slash in salary to continue the sport at N.Y. U.
Thus the violets ended a sport which they started in 1873 and they joined the University of Chicago as a major school without a pigskin parade. Chicago took similar action after the 1939 season.
The school's athletic council voted yesterday after an argumentive two-hour session to abandon the sport. Reasons were decreased enrollment—N.Y.U. has 35,000 students—and subsequent loss of student fees, poor records in recent years and dwindling gate receipts which caused a $65,000 loss in the last two years.
"The university has been forced to institute a policy of strict economy all along the line and to readjust its general budget in the face of the present emergency," Chancellor Harry W. Chase said.
Along With Chicago
Football Out At N.Y.U. For Next Year
New York, Feb. 25—(UP)— New York University's 69-year record of intercollegiate football competition during which the nation's largest school rose to gridiron glory and then slumped to dull mediocrity—was a thing of cold records and tattered clippings today.
Also canceled were game commitments with Missouri, Lafayette, Holy Cross, Syracuse and Fordham for 1942.
Defending Champs Make Meet Attractive
With defending champions in every running event, and not a one sure of retaining his crown, the 1942 Big Six indoor track and field meet Saturday in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium looms as a thriller.
Heaviest load of the evening will rest on Nebraska's hurdling star, Bill Smutz. Winner of both the high and low hurdle races last year, Smutz has found the competition at a new high this season. Three times this year Smutz has been beaten
Joe Shy, Missouri low hurdler, was the first to take Smutz' measure. Then came Ed Darden, Kansas State ace, to whip the Husker in both the high and low hurdles four days later.
The most colorful figure in recent Big Six track annals, "Red" Littler of Nebraska, may be seriously handicapped Saturday by a muscle sprain. Littler, who has won the 440 the past two years and the 60 yard dash in 1940 as well, has been held out of competition in the Huskers' last two dual meets in an effort to have him in shape for the big meet.
Oklahoma's great middle distance runner, Bill Lyda, appears as likely as any of the defending champions to repeat. Lyda showed he was in great form last Saturday at Lincoln by winning the 440 yard dash, the 880 yard run and taking second in the 60 yard dash. His time of 1.583 in the 880 was a new track record.
Hunt Will Go Soaring
Bespectacled little Bobby Ginn of Nebraska will do the honors in the mile. As Ginn already knows, he is going to have to do some running to keep Al Rues of Kansas State from taking the mile title. In the Husker-Wildcat duel meet, Rues pushed Ginn to a mark of 4:18.4.
The two mile run will put Dick Smethers of Oklahoma up against a tough field of challengers. One will be Rues and another may be Ginn, who likely will pass up the half-mile, which he ran last year, to compete in the longer race.
In the four field events, a defending champion will appear in only one, the pole vault. But that vault-
er, Harold Hunt of Nebraska, may be the outstanding individual in the meet. Fourteen feet will be Hunt's goal, a mark which he has hit outdoors.
Inthe Army Air corps now is Wayne Blue, winner of the shot put last year, while the 1941 champion in the high jump and broad jump, Bob Stoland of Kansas, is working in a defense plant at Lake City, Mo. Stoland graduated last June.
Women's Intramurals SHIRLEY HENRY

The KANSAN Comments...
Can't We Do It Too?
Being University people we should be quick to recognize immediately the importance of defense measures which affect us, or rather—which we may effect.
That is precisely what the University of Cincinnati has done, and our hats are off to that institution! Their plan was to get professors to accept themes and other assignments written on both sides of the paper. Formerly, of course, such a procedure was deemed contrary to all rules of classroom practice.
It isn't silly, either. For those who think it is, let us glance at some figures (figures don't lie, you know.) A recent survey of Cincinnati campus book stores during the three-month period ending December 31, 1941, disclosed that during that time the 10,750 students at the University of Cincinnati bought 200,000 sheets of theme paper.
For this tremendous "bundle for knowledge," the pupils parted with $600. Perhaps that doesn't seem like much, but if we consider it in terms of the nation's 1,300,000 college population, a slice in half amounts to a sizable portion of paper saved.
Paper is becoming scarcer every day—and scarcity results in higher prices. The more we use, the greater the scarcity will be, and the deeper we will have to dig into our side pockets to buy paper. Eventually we may be limited to rougher grades of stock, and think what it'll be like to write a 2,000-word theme on the rough tablets of grammar-school days!
And now the Topeka Capital comes forth with the vital information that natives of Timbuktu put up roosting poles on minarets to serve as resting place for the returning souls of their dead.
Our forces are going to be seriously discommoded if forced to use Little America as a base for operations in the Southern Pacific.
Russia Fighting Our Battles
The success of the Russian armies against Hitler's forces has for several months been acclaimed throughout the world. Many military experts, however, have warned that the Russian successes have not been as great as pictured. Perhaps the world has over-estimated the rout of the Nazis, but it is also possible that the full significance of German reverses has not yet been seen.
First Hitler's spring offensive can never carry the deadliness that his surprise attack of last June carried. At that time he had everything in his favor. The element of surprise, seasoned troops, and better equipment all pointed to an early Russian defeat. But with all these advantages, Hitler's troops failed to reach Moscow or the Caucasus, which contain the oil fields so vitally needed by Hitler.
The German spring offensive faces a more problematic situation. Hitler sacrificed the surprise element which can be all important in modern warfare; secondly, he has suffered tremendous losses in first class men and materials, which he can never replace; and finally, German troops have found that they are not invincible. German morale has suffered still more by America's entry into the war.
Hitler has a defensive line of 2,000 miles to hold while conducting his offensive. To hold this line will require nearly 200 divisions, according to a statement by Major E. W. Sheppard, one of Britain's most highly regarded military authorities. Of these, jackal armies might supply 50, leaving Hitler 50 to 80 divisions, or approximately one and one-half million men to carry on his Caucasus offensive.
Fewer men and poorer equipment will fight for Hitler in the spring. These men now realize that they are not invincible. Russia's victories this winter are going to total more than many of us expected; how much will be revealed in the spring offensive.

Rock Chalk Talk
BETTY WEST
Since the appearance of the latest Jayhawk, poor Rex Bailey, assistant instructor in the School of Engineering, has been a wretched man. Rex sat with his brothers of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering for a Jayhawk portrait, and has been regretting it ever since. Because of a little confusion, the name of Mrs. Rex Bailey appeared as a faculty member of the Institute. Rex has no serious objections to his wife belonging to his engineering fraternity, but he would be a little bit more set up about the situation if he were married.
Last night some Teke actives sent two baby Tekes over to the_Chi Omega house to keep guard over these West Campus girls. The signs which they carried with them announced that they were "Herman" and "Vermin" and their pie-pan helmets and broom sticks promised adequate protection. Later in the evening a few unoccupied actives came over to see how guard duty was going, and found that if they yelled "Air raid" in a piercing voice, "Herman" and "Vermin" were only too delitied to scury under cars parked in front of the Chi Omega house. The O.C.D. marches on!
One of the requirements of education week at the Delt house was the gathering and preservation of a gold fish as a gift to each active in the chapter. This naturally led to a goldfish surplus around the Delt house, which led to other things. Buzz Crain named his two little friends Brenda and Cabina, and put them on display in a new and shiny bowl in his room. Last week Joe Laird invited his brothers in for a goldfish swallowing demonstration, the subject of which was Buzz's beautiful Cabina. About half way through the demonstration, (or should we say half way down the demonstration?) Cabina became so uncooperative that Joe renigged on the idea. Now Cabina, having gone through a harrowing experience, swims nervously back and forth in her fish bowl, minus a couple of scales, and with the oomph gone from her lovely tail. Buzz is afraid that she is developing a psychosis.
Quality of Mercy
Education Marches On
that the milk of human kindness still contains 92% butterfat.
Let's get down to cases. Quite often we are forced by sadistic professors to get lessons from books in the reference and reserve rooms at Watson library. Now most of us, being of unsound mind, etc., would wander aimlessly through the pages of said books, extracting little of the pertinent material, except for — and here is where love is on our side. Before we have had a chance to get the book, some person or persons known only to God have gone through the book and underlined every significant statement. Usually they use black pencil, but on occasions resort to red, depending on the significance of the theory being expounded.
In times like these, when the newspapers are filled with tales of man's inhumanity to man, it is well to veer off the beaten track and show that the spirit of selfless sacrifice and brotherly love has not perished from the earth. And, what is more, we do not have to leave the University campus to find proof
Sometimes, when the author of the book has made a valiant attempt to present the truth and fallen a little short of his goal, these unknown knight errants of the higher education fill in the breach with contributions boldly inscribed in the margins. And most important of all, when the author's mind has fallen into error, our anonymous pen pals fearlessly scrawl their refutations in a place where nobody can fail to notice. The basic motive behind such practices has never been ascertained. There can be little or no financial gain. The writers are not seeking glory, because they remain anonymous, neither signing their contributions or leavin gany clues. All that remains is the principle of pure, unblemished charity, a type of charity unparalleled in human history.
Rescue Squad
is not strained
To support the last statement, the following evidence can be cited. In
No Precedent
the arid plains of Asia Minor, in the region ruled over in ancient times by the Babylonians, many curious clay tablets, have been found, bearing a type of writing known as cuneiform. The characters were formed by marking soft clay pads with a chisel-shaped instrument, and then baking the clay into a brick-like hardness. Now it might have been that while the cuneiform writer was out for a short beer, some unknown party crept up and with his potent chisel underlined everything he considered of special interest to posterity. That is, it might have been, but no such tablets have ever been found.
And later on, when the art of writing was kept alive only by monks working in monasteries, many priceless manuscripts were turned out, and are now preserved in the museums of the world that have not yet become military objectives. Now it might have been that while one of the monks was asleep, another monk crept into his cell and underlined selected passages from his manuscript, on penned illuminated refutations in the margins, but no such manuscripts are in existence.
A any rate, the literate world owes an immense debt of gratitude to these "underwriters." We can only look with pity on the poor savages who must use the jungle telegraph as a means of self-expression. Nobody ever shows them what is right or wrong, or emphasizes significant points, which is why they are still savages. It may be that when one of the Rain Forest Pigmies is drumming out false doctrines, one of the boys in the traditionally wet river precincts hammers out a reverberating refutation, but Martin and Osa Johnson have been ominously silent on this point.

Chubb Speaks To Men In Military Camps
Prof. H. B. Chubb, associate professor of political science, has been speaking before groups of army men in this area on American interests in the Far East. "This is part of a program of instruction initiated by the public relations bureau of the war department to give the men in the armed forces an understanding of the international situation as it affects this country," Chubb said. "The purpose behind this program is to give the men sufficient background of the events leading up to the present conflict to enable them to
ent conflict to enable them to get an idea of just what is going on."
In November of last year, the war department asked Chancellor Deane W. Mallot to send them the name of a faculty member who would be willing to go to the camps in this region, and address the men on topics being studied in this program. Professor Chubb's name was sent them by the Chancellor, and the war department wrote him, asking for his biography and qualifications. After supplying the information he received instructions as to where and when he would speak, and was given the topic of our interests in the Far East.
Universities all over the nation are participating in this program. One man is chosen at each university selected by the war department's bureau of public relations. These men are sent to address men in camps located in the region of their respective schools.
Teach International Future
As organized by the bureau of public relations, the program started with a series of orientation courses conducted by the officer personnel at each camp. These courses give the men the background material pertinent to the development of international conditions as they are today, and as they may be in the future.
"This is quite a contrast to the totalitarian system, where the soldier is expected to be a 'goose-stepping' machine," explained Chubb.
Commanding officers at the camps have been instructed to make available suitable places to be used as lecture halls. Charts, maps, pamphlets, and other material needed for instruction is furnished by the war department. Background material is also provided, and has been placed in officers' and enlisted men's clubs, recreation centers, and camp libraries for use by the men in the courses. Monthly reports on the progress of the courses and lectures are made to the war department.
Supplement Camp Instruction
The civilian lecturers are used to highlight and supplement the courses of instruction at the camps. The officers conducting these various courses are given material in pamphlet form, complete with maps, charts, and text of the subject matter, on which to base their instruction. The civilian speakers are given the same pamphleted material for their lectures as is used in the course related to their respective topics. This is to insure coordination between the subject matter of the civilian giving a certain lecture, and what the men he addresses have been studying.
"I have been pleasantly surprised at the interest shown by the men to whom I have spoken," Chubb remarked. "Although the men marched into the room in a precise, military manner, their attitude indicated that they were there to get something from the lecture and not merely because a superior officer had ordered them to attend." This present another contrast between the way
things are done in totalitarian nations, and the way they are done in America.
First Address in Kansas City
Professor Chubb's first address was on Feb. 6 to the men of the Quartermaster's depot, and of other units, in Kansas City. The next week he addressed two audiences at Ft. Riley, each of about 600 men. His latest trip was to Ft. Leavenworth, where he spoke to one group of 900 men last Wednesday afternoon, and to another of 200 men that evening.
Professor Chubb said that until he received further instructions from the war department he did not know when he would speak again, or whether he was through for the time being. This particular phase of instruction lasts until March, and then, he said, he might be needed to address new groups of men at these centers.
Another First Aid class for women enrolled in Nurses' Aid will begin next Tuesday at 1:30, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Watkins Memorial hospital, announced today.
"Nurses' Aid" To Begin Tuesday
Other First Aid courses in progress now are Dr. Glen H. Baird's, open to any student for College credit; and Dr. Clare Asling's and Dr. Park Woodard's freshmen medical First Aid.
Besides the women taking t he course as a second step in their nurses' training, there will also be a few women who were unable to finish the course in February. If enrollment does not come up to 25, interested students and townpeople may take the course, not to exceed 25 in the class.
Wyoming, N. Y. —(UP)— When this town had its initial blackout test it marked the first time the gas street lights had been extinguished since their installation 34 years ago. They had been burning day and night since 1908.
Calling Buck Rogers--- Genuine Ray Gun Could Cause Any Army's Ruin
Washington—(UP)—The worst thing that could happen to the United Nations right now would be for someone to invent a genuine, fool-proof, non-comic strip ray gun, Col. Maurice E. Barker said today.
Gas Light Record Is Broken
The class will meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30 to 3:30 with Dr. Beatrice M. Lins as teacher.
Ray guns, he said, would spell the doom of airplanes, tanks and other offensive weapons upon which the United Nations must depend to win back the vast territories lost to the Axis. 596 years ago in the battle
Once all lost ground has been recaptured, he added, invention of an invincible anti-tank or anti-aircraft weapon of any kind would insure an Allied victory, at the same time bringing about a revolution in warfare comparable to that wrought by gunpowder in the fourteenth century.
"Offensive weapons at the moment are superior to the defensive," he said, "but someone sooner or later is going to invent a one-man cannon, a ray gun or something that will knock hell out of tanks and airplanes."
Barker is chief of the technical division of the army chemical warfare service and he was not just being whimsical when he talked of ray guns.
Will Come Someday
Barker's function is to examine and encourage the production of ideas by chemists, physicists and mechanical engineers for the creation of new weapons and materials of war. Schooled in the history of warfare, he knows that it is not beyond the realm of possibility that this conflict may produce a weapon as surprising to those against whom it is turned as was gunpowder to the armored knights who witnessed its effects for the first time
Examines New Weapons
"We have the rays right now," he said, referring to mammoth cyclotrons, "but a 400-ton atom smasher can't be carried around like Buck Rogers' ray pistol."
"Anything that the logical human mind can imagine can be achieved. If Buck Rogers can overcome enemies of all kinds with his ray gun, who knows how soon such weapons will be hurling their weightless bullets at human targets?"
596 years ago in the battle of Crecy. Citing the example of Jules Vernes" "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," which long ante-dated invention of the submarine, Barker said:
Receive Letter From Alumni Now In Training School
Jerome Hellings, who was graduated last spring, recently wrote to Col. James Dusenbury concerning his schooling in Harvard university under a plan of the United States government.
The government has placed 250 men in the Harvard graduate school of business administration this year. Hellings was the only student from this University to enter the school. He will attend Harvard for 18 months and then go into the quartermaster corps.
The group of men which was selected by the government has been attending classes for two weeks and official acceptance will be given them as soon as the results of physical examinations are known.

Forums Board to Play Host to Speech Meet
Acting es district host, the University will participate in the national extempore-discussion contest on "Inter-American Affairs" for colleges and universities on March 11, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech and local chairman in charge of the contest, announced today. The local district contest will be sponsored by the University Forums board.
Winners in the district contests will participate in seven regional contests in this country, and the winners of the regional events will be sent to South; ___
America next summer to visit and study the South American republics. The general national extempore-discussion contest is sponsored by the office of co-ordinator of inter-American affairs.
50 Regional Districts
The United States is divided into 50 districts for the regional contests. The state of Kansas comprises one district. Five candidates from each college are allowed to participate plus one for every thousand or fraction thereof, students above 3,000 enrolled. Although the University is allotted seven contestants, Professor Buehler said only six would be entered.
Student speakers who will represent the University are Orville Wright, college senior; Merrill Peterson, college junior; Margaret Yearout, college senior; Cecelia Goncalves, special student in the college; John Waggoner, college junior; and Grier Stewart, college senior.
Other colleges and universities which have announced their participation in the local district contest are: Ottawa, Pittsburg Teachers. Washburn, Hays Teachers, Bethany Wichita, and Kansas State.
Hold Warm-Up
The student Forums board will also sponsor a warm-up contest on March 4 and will offer $15 in prizes for the three high ranking speakers. Each contestant will speak for seven minutes on some phase of the program to draw Latin American countries together in a closer relationship.
A round table discussion in which the audience will take part will be held after the warm-up contest, and following this the group of speakers will broadcast a half hour forum over the University station KFKU.
The decision of the judges in the district contest will be based upon the phases of topical speech, round table discussion, and extempore session basis. Professor Buehler announced. Part of the round table discussion of this final program will be broadcast.
Other University groups which will assist the department of speech and drama in the district contest March 11 are: the Forums Board, the International Relations Club, and the department of political science.

Carrots for Corsages, Floral Experts Suggest
New York —(UP)—Fresh vegetables may soon solve the local corsage problem, according to word from a club of floral experts.
A "V" for Victory vegetable decoration today was offered as a substitute for those Japanese flower arrangements, dear to the heart of this country's 15,000 garden club members. Land work out an interesting c
"Vegetables can be arranged every bit as attractively as expensive or hard-to-raise flowers," said Mrs. Charles H. Duell who has spent years studying floral arrangements.
"Instead of being wastefully thrown away, like bowers, when they begin to droop a bit, vegetables can be salvaged for soup or salad. It is a perfect victory program."
Mrs. Duell, who became interested in flowers and gardening as a little girl, went into the matter seriously by studying landscape gardening at Yale.
Purple Cabbage Effective
Her hobby is giving advice on how to have shrub and vegetable gardens in the dimuntive yards of the city and without the expense of a professional gardener.
"I know the government doesn't want people to make a mad dash to buy expensive seeds and fertilizer." Mrs. Duell said. "But neither is necessary for a little shrub or vegetable garden.
"One of the most effective table decorations I ever saw," she said,
"was a big purple cabbage in a white coral bowl. It was nicer than those Japanese floral designs.
"Another useful vegetable arrangement can be made with carrot tops, which are feathery and decorative. You can use the tops with the coarser leaves of other plants
and work out an interesting con- trast in textures.
Vegetable Garden Pretty
"Everybody realizes what decorative centerpieces can be made with squash of different size and colors.
"With a purple cgg plant, yellow squash, green cucumbers and red tomatoes, a fascinating table decoration can be arranged. Next it can be turned into salad and nothing is lost as is the case with costly cut flowers."
An ear of corn, complete with husk and tassel was the inspiration for another vegetable bouquet arranged by Mrs. Duell.
"Most of us are too busy to devote the time and energy needed to keep an intensely cultivated flower garden in order," she said. "A vegetable garden can be just as decorative and just as much fun to cultivate."

ROTC Honorary To Sell Stamps
Scabbard and Blade, honorary military fraternity, will sponsor a campaign to sell defense-bonds and stamps to students on the Hill. The stamps will go on sale in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall starting next Tuesday.
The sales in Frank Strong hall will continue for about a week and students are urged to buy as many as they can afford. The main idea of the program is not to see how many can be sold, but to start students buying stamps. The campaign will be under the direction of Grove?
under the direction of Grove Roberts and Bob White. 100 Students Questioned
Ben Matassarin, president of the organization, said that a poll of 100 students has been taken and the average sales, according to the poll, would be two stamps a person each week. Students who wish to start saving stamps for the purchase of a bond will be given a regular booklet, issued by the government, in which to paste stamps. These booklets will be issued at the desk in Frank Strong hall.
NUMBER 93
All students who were questioned said that they would be willing to give up a show, a coke, or some other amusement each week and use the money to buy stamps. After enough stamps have been bought to fill a book, the owner may take it to the local post office and trade it for a bond. Interest is paid on the bonds and not on the stamps so the sooner the book is traded in the
sooner the owner starts collecting the interest.
Sales All Day
Matassarin pointed out that the tables would be open most of the day, but that a schedule had not yet been arranged. He said that Scabbard and Blade members would be glad to deliver stamps to any of the organized houses that wished to buy them in a block. Ten and 25-cent stamps will be sold at the desk and stamps of larger denomination will be furnished to those who want them if requested.
Working in cooperation with the military men in the drive are the Jayhawk cafe, Bricks, Rowlands book store, and the Union fountain and cafeteria. The sale of stamps will continue at these places until the end of the semester. The Union fountain and cafeteria feature specials on the menus such as, "Stamp and Coke for 15 cents."
300 Tickets on the Line For Prom Tomorrow
Hill hepcats have already indicated that they will turn out enmasse for "Jumping Jimmie" Lunceford and his band when he appears for the Junior Prom from 9 to 1 o'clock tomorrow night in the Memorial Union ballroom. Over 300 tickets have already been sold, Jim Burdge, dance manager said today.
Lunceford, who might be called the "educated gentleman of swing," graduated from Fisk College with honors in 1925, and since that time has been piling up musical honors for himself and his band both in this coun-?
University debate teams will go to Lincoln to compete with the University of Nebraska in six rounds of an invitational debate tomorrow and Saturday. The debate question is "Resolved: That after the war the democracies should establish and maintain a federation based on the eight points of the Atlantic Charter."
Members of the affirmative team for Kansas are Garland Landrith, college sophomore, and John Scurlock, college junior. The discussion for the negative will be handled by Bob Plumb, college junior, and John Waggoner, college junior.
Tickets for the Prom are $2.00 advance, date or stag, and $2.25 if purchased at the gate. Tickets will remain on sale today and tomorrow at the University business office, Bell Music company, and the Memorial Union building.
Lunceford is the creator of both the "Harlem Express" and the famed "School of Jazznochracy," as his gang of musicians is sometimes called. Playing hot tunes with a low-down beat, smooth syncopation, and sweet swing are all in a night's work for the Lunceford band and they use all styles effectively to imitate the country's leading bands.
Hill swing addicts are well acquainted with "Jumping Jimmie," for his tunes are popular on both radio and juke boxes. His current hit recording, "Blues in the Night" has been sweeping the country.

Army Finance Posts Open to Business Grads
Positions in the finance department and the department of engineers of the U.S. army are open to college men, Prof. P.W. Viesselman, chairman of the vocational guidance committee, disclosed today.
"The finance department needs the services of college graduates and also men who have completed two or more years of college work," Lieut. Col. J. W. Dansby of the finance department advised Viesselman in a letter. "Completion of the
Dansby added that men with college education, particularly in accounting and clerical training could be readily adapted to army finance work and be fitted for noncommissioned officer ranks in the finance department.
It is also possible for R.O.T.C. graduates or students to be commissioned in the corps of Engineers, if they haven't already been taken into the armed forces.
Offer Engineer Jobs
Col. C. Garlington, chief of operations and training branch of the corps of engineers, wrote Professor Viesselman a letter in which he stated that, at present, engineerens corps officers are being obtained "from reserve officers who have not yet been called to actvie duty, future graduates of R.O.T.C. units and officer candidate schools conducted by the war department."
"Completion of this course leads to a commission as second lieutenant, corps of engineers," Garlington said. He emphasized the fact that the army was looking for "college students and graduates with sound basic educations rather than specialized techniques."
Because it is impossible to enlist in the army intelligence service directly, Capt. John V. Hinkel of the military intelligence wrote Viesselman that "At the present time there is no opportunity for any of your students or graduates to engage in military intelligence work."
He explained that is was necessary for any student wishing to enlist in the intelligence service to enlist in the army and request assignment to military intelligence work. Whether the request will be granted "will depend entirely on the qualifications of the applicant," s a i d Hinkel.

Hints for Snow Beauty
Old man Snow is here again! Perhaps not to stay, but no doubt he'll be off and on again for the next month, anyway.
Another hint in snow-time wear is the color. Clear reds or bluish-reds look about as wonderful in the snow as orange doesn't. (Don't ask us why. It just doesn't.)
Except for a little lip-stick, make-up isn't a good combination with
It's a good idea to be warm but not so bundled up you look as though you're starting for a masquerade party. Exercise soon makes the cold feel warm, and it proves rather provoking if you have to undrape your Christmas tree effect and carry the ornaments about with you.
If you ski, skate, bob sled, or even if your only sport is making snow men, it is important for you to learn how to look rosy in the snow and cold instead of red and raw. So here are a few hints to put you wise for snow beauty.
Masquerade Dress
nothing sets one off so vividly as snow—for better or for worse.

snow. Apply artificial color and you'll find your cheeks are doubly rosy. Skin will shout from the effects of Jack Frost's scraping, so cream it up and protect it from chapping.
There are probably a thousand other schemes that would help make snow-time mean better-times, but the one outstanding requisite is to be practical in your dress. Purple knees and frozen ears demand little sympathy!

White Rats Teach Lesson
Sit in the Snow
BY DEAN SIMS
Dire consequences are apt to develop if you house yourself in an overly heated room. For proof, take a peek into the psychology experimental laboratories in the basement of Frank Strong hall. It's bound to make a believer out of you; that is, it's bound to if you just keep in mind that whatever can happen to a white rat, can happen to you.
The big experiment, which is still in progress, began when a certain Leo Hellmer was working on his doctor's degree in psychology up here last year. He began with three groups of
group he put in cages in a room maintaining a constant temperature of 90 degrees; the second group were put into a room with a constant temperature of the average heated room, about 70 degrees; and he put the last group into a refrigerated room of 55 degrees. All these rats lived under exactly the same conditions, except for the altered temperatures. Had 'Control Group'
The reason for putting the one group of rates into the room with normal temperature was to form a "control group" or a group with which to compare the other two groups as to the various changes brought about by their living under different temperatures. This "control group" might be said to be the normal group.
When the rats reached the ripe age of 90 days, they were all put in mazes (long boxes with blind alleys, with only one passage Leading to food) and their learning abilities tested. All the differences resulting in the three groups could be attributed to the different temperatures of the habitats.
It was proved that the white rats living in the cooler climated room could learn much more rapidly than could either of the other two groups. It took the rats from the 55 degree room only 12 or 15 trials to solve the riddle of finding the way to the hidden food. It took about 25 attempts for the rats from the normally tempered room to accomplish this, and the ones from the hot room had a hard time doing it in 50 attempts.
Rats Vary in Size
There were some physical differences that developed along with the mental by the rats living in the vari-temperature rooms. The rats from the hotter room all grew long tails, big ears, and a long and thin body.
The rodents living in the normally heated room looked exactly the same as all rats look—not too fat, not too thin, fair-sized ears and medium-sized tails.
The ones from the cold room (exactly opposite of those from the 90 degree climate) grew short tails, small ears, and a short and fat body.
The moral, students, is simply this—don't stay in a nice warm room when you can go outside and sit in the snow and be cold. No doubt it'll be as hard as the very dickens to get used to but just keep in mind what happened to the little white rats who sat cooped up in an over-heated room.
The Fireside Forum will meet at 7 o'clock Sunday night at the Plymouth Congregational church, Bill Harris, forum president, announced today.
Red Cross Calls For Knitting Projects
Mrs. Paul B. Lawson and Mrs. A. T. Walker, co-chairman of the University's Red Cross sewing project, today asked those girls who were knitting garments for the Red Cross to bring them to the sewing room in Fraser hall, room 116, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. tomorrow. There the garments will be checked by Miss M. Elliott, assistant professor of romance languages, and Miss May Gardner, professor of romance languages, who are faculty supervisors for the project.
At their meeting last evening the W.S.G.A. council agreed to continue its cooperation with the national Red Cross by promoting sewing and knitting for men in service and civilians in war zones.
The sewing room is open Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 12, and Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons from 2 until 5 o'clock.
Sandelius Speaks In Fourth Meeting Of "World-at-War"
Prof. W. E. Sandelius, acting chairman of the department of political science, will present the fourth lecture in the World-at-War series in Fraser theatre tonight at 7.30.
K.U. Alumnus Is Supervising Nation's Budget
Professor Sandelius will speak on the subject, "Old Order and New; Conflict of Ideologies," a comparative study of totalitarianism and democracy.
Supervising the 56-billion-dollar budget in Washington this year is Harold Dewey Smith, who was graduated from the University in 1922.
Smith, born at Haven, started work when he was in high school. He helped put himself through the University by helping build homes for his professors.
Although Smith took an electrical engineering course here, he is a student of government and has made it his career. He received his master's degree in public administration at the University of Michigan.
Staff member of the Detroit bureau of governmental research was Smith's first job. He has been in administrative work ever since, playing active roles in Kansas and Michigan municipal leagues. Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan made him his administrative assistant in 1937 and later budget director.
Raymond Eastwood, associate professor of drawing and painting, is exhibiting a collection of his finest works in the Keith Gallery in Kansas City this week.
Eastwood Paintings Star This Week In Kansas City Exhibit
President Roosevelt appointed him federal budget director in 1939. The budget bureau's job is to help the President develop a suggested program of action and then facilitate its execution economically and effectively.
A portrait of Suzanne Wieder, college freshman, two figure studies, and a large number of Cape Cod landscapes complete the exhibit. "The Old Telegraph Station," which was shown at the last World's Fair, is also exhibited.
The Kansas City Star art reviewer wrote favorably of the exhibit, saying that he would back the landscapes "against any competition in their own field, both foreign and domestic."
Professor Eastwood will have an exhibition in Spooner-Thayer Museum in May.

Will Complete Mineral Building by December
926 Mass. 12th & Oread
Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps
Construction of the Mineral Industries building is well under way, Eugene A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering, said today.
Reinforced concrete flooring has been poured for the northeast portion and is being poured now for the remainder of the building. The cement is vibrated as it is being poured so as to give a smooth finish to the walls and floors, thus eliminating any expensive refinishing, Professor Stephenson said.
eral Industries building will be completed by December of this year. The University is pledged to use the building for such work in defense as the government requests, even before the departments can move in.
The wooden forms to be used in shaping the floors of the new building have been made, and the new road is completed for travel under ordinary weather conditions.
The University, obligated to build a new road after closing up the old county road, which was an extension of West Campus road, has built the new one from a point west of the New Military Science building north-west to where it joins Crescent road, west of the new Industries building. According to the contract, the Min-
As scheduled now, the new building will accommodate the geological survey, cooperative projects with the United States geological survey, geology and geography departments of the University, and the departments of chemical engineering, mining and metallurgy engineering, petroleum engineering, and astronomy.
Prof. Stephenson could make no statement concerning what Haworth Hall will be used for after its present occupants move to the Industries building, but he disclosed that the anatomy and physiology departments are hoping to get it. The present astronomy observatory, a small frame building, will be taken away and the new observatory will be on top of the Mineral Industries building.
Red Cross Twin Funds Near Goal
-FOR VICTORY: BUY BONDS-
The University faculty emergency Red Cross drive has exceeded the $800 goal, and the student fund is nearing the $500 quota, E. C. Buehler, director of the University drive, announced today.
Total receipts from the faculty Red Cross campaign amounted to $808. Although several student houses have not reported their total donations, the student fund now totals $472.30. Professor Buehler said he believed the student objective of $500 would be reached.
K-State Students Apply First Aid, Save a Life
Red Cross courses may be of practical value at any time, news received from Manhattan today indicated.
Quick action by two Kansas State was credited with saving the life of co-eds in applying first aid today Jack Schen, 18, who was injured when his car overturned.
The youth suffered a dangerous cut in the neck and was bleeding badly. The co-eds, Doris Schull, 19, of Kansas City, Kan., and Ellen Robertson, Wichita, applied pressure to Scheu's jugular vein, and checked the flow of blood.
The girls had recently studied first aid at a Red Cross course.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
One of the most important meetings of the year, as far as the Big Six conference is concerned, will occur this weekend when the faculty fathers of the six conference schools convene in Kansas City for their confab to decide (or table as they usually do) on the pertinent issues.
The meeting this year assumes added significance because of the War conditions which the country is being forced to undergo at the present time. For this reason, the question of whether the Big Six shall allow freshman athletes to compete in conference competition is sure to arise.

Davis, chairman of the University's history department, stated definitely that he would bring this point to discussion and a vote at the meeting this weekend. "The country is at war now," he said, "and can't people realize that we are going to have to make many changes to adjust ourselves to the existing conditions.
And one of the changes which is vital to Kansas and to the Big Six Conference is whether we should let freshman athletes compete. I think we're going to have to do this or we won't even have athletic squads at K.U. or any other school. I know the athletic directors of the majority of the schools are in favor of such a move but I don't know about the faculty representatives. I intend to find out Friday and Saturday."
Professor Davis was not through with his ideas and added that he intended to bring up the rule affecting transfer students to Big Six schools from various junior colleges. Although at this time the rule is not too important because not many athletes will be transferring from a junior college to a university (the only legitimate transfer is for $21 a month to Uncle Sam and not for any athletic scholarship) the rule still needs clarifying.
Naturally enough another important item of business will concern the cases where athletes transfer from one member school to another and also from another four-year college to a Big Six member.
With the recent agitation that has been caused, the Big Six could do well to improve upon the existing rules. Either more teeth should be added or the rules they have now should be enforced to the letter. That relates to another item of business which Davis said was to be completed this week and that is further modifying the rule books so as to bring the book up-to-date, including all the amendments and additions during the past few years.
DEFEAT MAY HELP ThE JAYHAWKERS
Last night's loss by the Jayhawkers may have disheartened many Jayhawker followers and lead them to believe that the team has been playing over its head in recent games. That's not the case. When the team was practicing in the gym this week there was just one game that the players were concerned with. And that game was the Oklahoma clash at Norman tomorrow night.
During practice the second team players were given nick-names of the Sooner starting line-up and the entire work-out was conducted along those lines. Naturally the squad was not too primed for the Aggie clash.
Of course, the game was important and might possibly have a hand in deciding the N.C.A.A. participant from this district but only in a round-about fashion. If the Jayhawks win the game at Norman it doesn't look very likely that there will be any need for a play-off.
For that reason, and also because of the more intense rivalry which exists between the Sooners and the Jayhawkers, the team was inclined to let last night's game pass off rather lightly. And they did as the score indicates. But don't take any credit away from the Aggies for they have one of the best clubs in the nation. The loss should put the Jayhawks in a better frame of mind for the game tomorrow night and they'll have all the ability and attitude possible to defeat what is probably the most improved club in the Valley.
SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE REALLY HAS SOMETHING
It has always been rumored up in these parts that the sportsmanship at inter-collegiate athletic contests in the South and Southwest has not always been what it should. After making the rounds of the Big Six conference during the past two years it seems that the Big Six can also do quite a bit to improve.
This applies to the Kansas crowd as well as to Iowa State and to the rest of the schools in the conference. Of course, it is only natural that the team at the top of the heap receives most of the boos and cat-calls issued from the crowd. That is why Kansas is so unpopular during the basketball season and the football powers, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri, are disliked in the fall.
But now the Southwest Conference comes out with the first definite attempt to alleviate this condition. In a statement issued by the faculty fathers of the Conference, it says, "The Southwest Athletic Conference is conducting a campaign to put an end to the booing at basketball games of officials and members of the visiting teams. It is also urging spectators to remain in the stands until the final play of the game and not gather around the basketball court just before the game is over."
It sounds like a good idea that could well be adopted by every conference over the country. The Big Six could profit very greatly by it. It is unfair to teams that take long road trips to face a hostile crowd with no rooters present from their home campus. Kansas should be the first to take the lead in this respect. Especially since the Jayhawkers are the power of the conference when it comes to basketball should the Kansas fans be magnanimous towards their opponents. There is one home game left on this season's schedule, March 6 with Missouri, for Jayhawker fans to show their best characteristics and it would be a good time to start a new era of goodwill among the neighboring schools.
Aggies Drop Jayhawks
Third Loss Received By 40-33 Score
"Something new has been added" may be a popular slogan but the Jayhawkers failed to keep pace with the times last night as they bowed before the Oklahoma Aggies, 40 to 33, to make the fifth consecutive loss they have suffered at Stillwater and their third defeat of the season.
The seven-point margin which the Cowboys gained was the highest advantage which Oklahoma A. and M. has ever gathered although Kansas had originally scored a 34 to 27 victory over the Aggies in 1939. Two games previously had been won by two points, two games by three points, two games by four points, and three games by six points.
The victory, which was the fifth in eleven starts since Henry Iba came to Stillwater as coach in 1934 (Kansas had won the first six games prior to 1936), did not move Iba ahead of Phog Allen in their race for the highest winning percentage. Allen now has won 549 games and lost 125 out of 674 contests for a percentage of .814 while Iba has won 312 and lost 72 out of 384 games for a percentage of .812.
Black Tallies Eight Points
Lonnie Eggleston proved to be the biggest thorn to the Jayhawks as he connected on the same type of shots which were so effective last Friday at Lawrence when the Aggies were beaten, 31 to 28. His long swishers in the first half put his team ahead and during the last half he continued the barrage which gave him high scoring honors with 16 points.
Charlie Black was high for Kansas with eight points, most of which he gathered in the first part of the game as the Jayhawks broke on top. Ralph Miller and John Buescher were second high for Kansas as each came through with six points.
This game was Miller's poorest performance of the year outside of the opening clash against Denver when he tallied just one field goal and two free throws. The only

Totals
Early Jayhawk Lead
Officials: Parke Carroll, Kansas City, and A. B. Curtis, Texas.
Oklahoma A. and M. on the other hand hit the astounding average of 41.7 percent as they made 15 out of 36 shots. This is an improvement for A. and M. over last Friday's totals when they made 11 baskets out of 40 attempts for a 27 per cent average.
other game in which he failed to score a free throw was in the Bethel contest but he scored four field goals in 16 minutes of play in that game. This is the first time this season that Miller has missed five consecutive free throws or as many as five during an entire game.
But Miller was not the only "cold" player on the team. The Jayhawks made their poorest showing of the year in considering their ability to sink baskets for the number of shots they took. Only 11 field goals resulted for Kansas out of 67 shots for a mark of 16.4 percent. This is even worse than the dismal showing against the Great Lakes when the Jayhawks made only 17 per cent of their shots.

on another set-up to stretch the lead to 10 to 4.
Aggie guard Gene Bell and Black traded set-ups and the score at the 10-minute mark was 12 to 7 in favor of Kansas. Eggleston started to get hot at this point and dropped in two long shots and when J. T. Newman plunked in a two-hander from the free throw circle at the 14-minute point the score was tied at 13-all.
The Aggies broke the tie with a long fielder but Buchs器的 free throw and Miller's lay-in after a missed free throw gave the Kansans their last lead of the game, 16 to15. Eggleston then gathered in another long shot and the Aggies were ahead to stay. They finished the half ahead, 19 to 16, after another Aggie fieldgoal and Marvin Sollenberger's free throw.
The Cowboys came back at the half with a strong attack and lengthened their lead to six points. The Jayhawks spurted with a short rally and drew up to 27 to 24 after Miller came through with his final two field goals of the game just before the 10-minute mark.
Miller and Black left the game on fouls shortly after this and further field goal activity for the Jayhawks was limited to buckets by Sollenberger and Charlie Walker.

Battle of Year At Norman
Their seven-game winning streak broken by Iowa State's superbly - performing home-lings, Oklahoma's smarting basketball team will close its Big Six season at 7:45 p.m. Friday at Norman with its climatic battle with Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers.
Seven or eight thousand spectators may pile into Oklahoma's 15-year-old Fieldhouse to see this grim Sooner-Jayhawk vendetta of the maples, provided the weather is good. It's a basketball "natural" that has been brewing for seven weeks. Oklahoma HAS to Win
If Kansas wins, she cinches the Big Six championship for 1942 with nine triumphs in ten starts, having lost only her game to Iowa State at Ames earlier in the year, the Cyclones triumphing 45-41 although they were later flogged at Lawrence by the merciless Jays 44-60. Oklahoma would be assured of second place with seven wins and three losses.
However, if Coach Bruce Drake's Oklahomaans should pull down the mighty Jay quintet, the Sooners would be assured of a tie for the Big Six title and the pressure then would be on Kansas to defeat Kansas State at Manhattan and Missouri at Lawrence to gain even a tie with Oklahoma.
The game will clarify the personal coaching rivalry between Doctor Allen, veteran Kanssag mentor, and
Drake, who is in only his fourth season of coaching. Each coach holds four triumphs over the other and Friday night's clash will definitively give one the advantage. Allen Is Still King
Allen Is Still King
If Oklahoma wins, Drake's life-time coaching record in Big Six play, brief as it has been, will jump to an even .700 percent of games won, which puts the young Sooner mentor pretty closely on the heels of the veteran Kansas tutor.
But Doctor Allen is safely beyond immediate pursuit, at that. His team's recent mauling of Iowa State tories Doctor Allen's Kansas teams raised to an even 100 the no. of vichave registered in Big Six play, against only 36 defeats for a gaudy conference winning percentage of .745. "Phog" Allen is still king of all basketball coaches in these parts.
In the sparkling Kansas team, Oklahoma fans will see one of the stoutest court aggregations ever forged from the famous Allen smithy. It ranks with such great Kansas aggregations of yesteryear as the 1924 five, built around two great guards, Paul Endicott and Charley Black, the evenly-balanced 1927 team sparked by Al Peterson, a great center, and the all-victorious 1936 team upon which played Ray Ebling and Fred Pralle.
Long Sleeve, Injurybarkers
Kansas is amply stocked with seniors, juniors and sophomores. It is the most dangerous long-shooting aggregation in the league and is also the circuit's top rebounding team. Ralph Miller, great scorer and
feeder, John "Thin Man" Buescher, excellent passer and play-maker and two scintillating sophomores, 6-foot 4-inch Charley Black and stocky Ray Evans, are the brightest figures in its player personnel although Marvin Sollenberger, its tough defensive guard, has also been a big factor in the team's feat of winning all its college games but two.
Regardless of its fate against Kansas, Oklahoma will go down into court history as the basketball team that went the farthest with the "leastest" this season in spite of some terrific bad breaks all along the route.
Tucker and McCurdy Shine
The coaching feat of Drake, who took a seniorless club, one that lost two returning aces, Garnett Corbin and Allie Paine, before the season started and one important cog, Mitch Simon, in mid-season this year, to the service, not to mention the sudden disbarment for the first five games of the Big Six race of Gerald Tucker, sophomore hot-shot, and yet has driven it to an opportunity to tie for the Big Six championship here Friday night, stands out like stripes on a referee's shirt.
Drake wrote into the conference register four names the Big Six had never heard of until this season—Bob "Manacles" McCurdy, Dick Reich, Jimmy Marteney, and Tom Rousey—all of them freshmen or obscure squad men last season.
A preliminary game between the Sooner frosh and the Will Rogers Air Base team will precede the main event, and will start at 6 p.m.

Phi Delta Theta suffered its second straight loss last night as it fell before Sigma Alpha Epsilon 18 to 15 in one of the best defensive games of the intramural season.
The ball-hawking Sig Alph's led all the way as they handed the Phi Delt play-off hopes a terrific blow. The winners placed all their hopes on an airtight defense which the favored Phi Delt's were incapable of solving.
It was Bob Bond, elongated Sig Alph center, who played the leading role in smothering the Phi Delt attack. He held Chuck Hunter, Phi Delt ace, to a single field goal. Frank Gage led the winner's attack, taking scoring honors for his team with six points. He also turned in an outstanding rebounding job. Kern contributed seven points to the losers' total.
Kern Scores 7 Points
The Sig Alph's held an 8 to 5 lead at half-time. During the third quarter the two squads battled on even terms, and the winners succeeded in stalling off a desperate Phi Delt attack in the last period. Sigma Chi's Are Upset
Alpha Tau Omega romped over Sigma Chi in surprising fashion to score an easy 27 to 18 win. The
A. T.O. squad held a 21 to 12 lead at half-time, and increased it to 26 to 12 midway in the third period. The winners then coated in.
Jim Webb and Mark McLain led the A.T.O. attack with ten and eight points each respectively. Bill Hyer and Harold Beck were the Sigma Chi big-guns.
Carruth hall wallopled Rock Chalk Coop 61 to 15 in a lop sided affair. Pouring goals into the Carruth basket were Mac Frederick, Ralph Anderson, and Glenn St. Aubyn. Jack Werts was the Rock Chalk standout.
The Hell Hounds found the Union Fountaineers surprisingly troublesome before downing them 39 to
29. At half-time the favorites had held but a 19 to 16 margin. Source of much of the Hell Hound trouble was little Jack Beal, Fountaineer forward, who helped himself to 16 points. Donn Mosser, Carl Unruh, and Bob White carried the scoring burden for the winners.
Newman I rebounded from the Phi Delt defeat to whip Sigma Nu 44 to 28. Junius Penny, ace Newman forward, dumped in 11 points to lead the Newman scoring. He was assisted by Frank Rengel with nine tallies. Warren Israel rang up 13 points for the losers.
Newman II also whipped their opponents, the Crackerjacks, by a 44 (continued to page eight)

The KANSAN Comments...
Calcutta: Outpost of Empire
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a series of editorials giving the background and importance of cities and territories in the Pacific war zone.
Rising out of the maze of tidal rivers and mud flats in northeastern India is the mystical metropolis of Calcutta. Capital of Bengal province, which borders on war-scourged Burma, it is a city of $1\frac{1}{2}$ million people and stretches along both sides of the Hooghly river a few miles above the Bay of Bengal.
The city was founded in 1690 by Job Charnock, an agent for the British East India company, as a colony of Madras, a south Indian port. The British were driven out in 1756 by native warriors, but, led by Lord Clive, they recaptured the city the next year. It now completely overshadows Madras and rivals Bombay as the first city of India.
With its port on the bay, it is a great commercial center, both as a link in the chain of Empire outposts and as a shipping point for the important Bengal jute industry. Its residents claim it is the second city in the whole British Empire.
Calcutta has a hot, humid climate, with an average mean temperature of 79 degrees. The coolest season of the year will be virtually over in a month. April and May are exceedingly hot months, and in June the monsoons begin.
Out of its million and a half inhabitants, there are only 9.000 Europeans. The rest are two-thirds Bengali and one-third other assorted Asiatic stocks. Bengal natives are more docile than the wild tribes of the northwest.
If Rangoon falls, Calcutta is the logical port for Landing of Chinese supplies. In the battle for the riches of India and the lifeline of China, it may be the key.-C.R.R.
The Children's Theater of Denver University will present a play, "Sleeping Beauty." Based on the life of a college man, of course.
The Wages of War
Women of America are faced with the most critical period of their lives. Most of them have never been confronted with such a problem before. They are in a quandary, and it is to be expected that riots and insurrections will result from prohibition of the manufacture of corsets from rubber.
It has become, in the past few decades, an unspeakable disgrace to allow the human form divine to follow its natural course and spread out into a body which looks capable of sustaining life. Women, from the high school girl to the dowager, have compressed their figures and found it possible to retain a sylphlike form forever. But now all their experimentation—what amounts to a life's work—is gone for naught.
All the niceties of modern female civilization must go by the board in order that our nation may conserve vitally needed rubber just to preserve freedom and insure our way of life.
But women must not be too bitter. Men also have fallen victims to the rubber shortage. Without suspenders, trousers must be secured uncomfortably and precariously with belts. They will sag and float in the uneasy breeze as a male population roundly curses the Japs for making the rubber shortage so pressing.
This is not the whole story, though. There will be no garters, either. It will work no hardship on college men, for most of them
never saw a garter, anyhow, but Mr. Average Man, the staunch backbone of democracy, will have to learn to like his socks down around his shoe tops. All for defense, y'know.
Can't you visualize the family of the near future setting out for a night at the opera, with father clacking spiritedly along on his leather heels, his socks dragging in the dust, and his trousers looking like a flag at half mast? And mother will come billowing along after him, her uncorseted form undulating softly, and her clothing all to small?
Lucky we're complacent!
General Douglas MacArthur has lauded Russia for courage. He should know.
Shades of Robin Hood! Two Iowa boys have been arrested for shooting a deer south of Lansing, and attempting to hide the carcass.

You Said It
(Written by Jack Werts for the First-Aid class of Doctor F. C. Allen)
(Written by Jack Werts for the First-Aid class of Doctor F. C. Allen) In the past few years, as automobiles have become virtually a necessity in the United States, automobile manufacturers have provided almost everything humanly possible to make their products a safe, comfortable and attractive means of transportation.
But they have forgotten one thing. They have not installed first-aid kits. Precision in workmanship and good quality materials have been used less danger to persons riding in the vehicle. Arm rests, ash trays, woodcraft ventilation, safety glass, windshield wipers, radios, and heating facilities are all examples of the manufacturer's efforts. But speed remains a hazard.
Manufacturers should have placed first-aid kits in every automobile that came off the assembly line long ago. But either they thought it bad psychology, or the idea never occurred to them. Granted, with car production almost at a standstill it is rather futile to suggest that manufacturers carry out the program now.
We emphatically believe that the Red Cross or some other influential organization should see that first-aid kits are installed in every automobile. Our suggestion is that a law be introduced compelling drivers to buy a first-aid kit just as he is compelled to possess a driver's license. The average citizen will not purchase a kit of his own accord.
The average person who buys an automobile does not buy it with the idea that he is going to wreck it. But he does realize that many people are injured in automobile accidents every day. And although he does not expect to be hurt himself, if he stops to think he will have to admit that he could be injured while driving or riding as a passenger. We are no safer on the road than the driver we meet. Especially is this true when tires are wearing thinner and thinner without being replaced.
It is true that first-aid stations are numerous throughout the country. But if a wreck occurs on the highway and one of the occupants is in a faint and is bleeding profusely from cuts, if the auto is demolished, and if a companion is conscious but helpless because there is no first-aid equipment in the automobile, how much help will be obtained from a sign by the roadside saying "First-Aid Station—5 mi.?" The injured person may die while the companion goes for help because bandages, disinfectants, tourniquet, and other first-aid articles are not available.
We agree. That is a lot of "Ifs" but accidents do happen under such circumstances and people do die because they cannot be cared for properly and quickly.
If only one life is saved because of the millions of first-aid kits which would be installed as suggested here, who will argue that the trouble and effort has not been worth while and that lives will not be saved?
Safety is being stressed more today than ever before because we have seen the results of carlessness in our everyday life and because of what may come as a result of war in the next few years. Since emphasis is placed on saving lives and keeping physically fit, we think that the Rec Cross should take our suggestion. Make first-aid kits a compulsory property in every automobile without any further unnecessary and costly delay.
Rock Chalk Talk BETTY WEST
Monte Merkel, delicate blossom of the football team, has got the armed forces interested in him to the extent of signing him up for the Naval Air Corps. The tender part of it all is that Monte will have to lose between thirty and forty pounds, before they can issue him a uniform he can wedge himself into.

Several days ago Alpha Chi Betty Leimert, starting on a big drive preparatory to studying for a quiz, went to bed at 7 p.m., and set her alarm clock for 45 minutes later, planning to get up then.
Came 7:45 p.m., the alarm clock went off, Leimert arose, hopped out of bed a bit begged, waded into her housecoat, and tore downstairs, all ready for breakfast, and prepared to start a new day.
It might also be mentioned that there were several dates passing the time chatting in the Alpha Chi hall who were almost as confused as Miss Leimert about the situation.

British Battle Hard for Burma; Lese Rangoon
Mandalay, Burma, Feb. 26 —(UP) British empire forces fought their last-ditch battle for Lower Burma today under smoke clouds raised by fires sweeping Rangoon, the virtually forsaken capital.
Reports from airmen and refugees indicated that the Imperials were swinging northwestward in a long arc to change the north-south battle line to one east and west, running south of Mandalay. Rangoon appeared lost.
American volunteer airmen reported at their headquarters in southwest China that the British had put the torch to Rangoon, and at least one-third of the evacuated capital was ablaze.
New Drive in Thailand
Chinese forces were reported unofficially to be battling a new Japanese drive on the southern Shan states of Burma, north of Chiangmai, in northern Thailand, with the invaders preparing to hurl a second offensive westward from the base.
Evacuates pouring into Mandalay from the southern battle zone said strong Indian and British reinforcements were taking positions south of this city—indicating that the present fighting may be an opening phase of the battle of Burma.
cost of the lower Sittang river he Imperials fought within ten miles of the idle Rangoon-to-Mandalay railroad with the bitter struggle apparently forcing the defenders back slowly.
Burma Road Endangered
Should that defense line fall, the Burma Road would be cut at its southern end and Rangoon, 48 miles south of the railroad junction of Pegu the immediate Japanese objective—would be virtually defenseless
On the jutting neck of Burma between the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Martaban, the capital would have to be held by a siege garrison and the chances of reinforcements would be almost nil.
Rangoon itself, with the Burma road cut, would be of greatly diminished military value. Traffic over the railroad to Mandalay already has ceased.
There were indications that both sides were pouring in reinforcement and that armies engaged numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Allied airmen, including Americans were raking the Japanese lines and bombing their bases. Calcutta radio reports said yesterday that the Allies had destroyed 29, possibly 35, of a fleet of planes raiding Rangoon.
Lois Worrel Featured in Fine Arts Senior Recital
☆ ☆ ☆
Lois Worrel, fine arts senior andiano student of Prof. H. C. Taylor,was presented last night in the weekly School of Fine Arts seniorecital.
Miss Worrel's program included numbers by Bach, Schumann, Rubstein, and Moszkowski.
Professor Taylor accompanied her on a second piano, playing the orchestral parts.
New Planes Turn Tide In Far East
Washington, Feb. 25 —(UP)— Newly-arrived American army warplanes today were delivering triphammer blows in the battle of Java after destroying since Dec. 7 nearly 300 Japanese planes and at least 24 ships in the Pacific—from Pearl Harbor to the Indian ocean.
War department communiques of the past two days have described a mounting tempo of American aerial attacks against the Japanese in the far Pacific, indicating that both bombers and fighters are reaching the East Indies in steadily increasing numbers.
Latest advices from the Philippines said Gen. Douglas MacArthur's American and Filipino forces, not content to wait in their "fox holes" for the Japanese to launch a new assault, had broken a three-day lull, by going out and picking a fight with the numerically superior enemy.
MacArthur's men struck out from their wire barricades in a series of "uniformly successful" offensive attacks, probably in the nature of patrol thrusts to determine whether the Japanese inactivity was a feint for a surprise move.
That was the only action reported in communiques about the Bataan battlefront since last Sunday which reported activity of the previous 24 hours.
Ping Pong Tourney In Lincoln
The two Union buildings of the respective schools have gone together to purchase a cup to be given to the team that wins the year's play. The cup will be kept by the winner until the next year, when it will go to the new winner. Provisions will be made to engrave the winners name on the cup each year.
Four members of the University ping pong team will leave Saturday morning for Lincoln, where they will meet the Nebraska team in the first of two matches between the schools. The team consists of two men, John Ise, Jr., graduate student, and Ulysses Staebler, college senior, and two women, Sue Corson, college sophomore, and Alta Bingham, education senior.
Dean J. J. Jakosky of the School of Engineering has returned from a trip to the west coast in connection with the consulting work of the naval ordinance laboratory.
The Cornhusker team will come to the Hill for the second match sometime this spring. The team will return from Lincoln Saturday night.
Jakosky Returns From West Coast
The University is making special investigations for the laboratory, Jakosky said, and added that they were of a confidential nature.

U.S. Submarines Take Heavy Toll On Jap Ships
Allied Headquarters Java, Feb. 26 —(UP)—United States submarines, in a major attack on Japanese invasion fleets, have torpedoed two troop ships, an auxiliary ship and a freighter in the last two days and are believed to have torpedoed a warship, a Netherlands Indies high command communique said today.
One of the American submarine attacked a formidable enemy squadron, and was believed to have torpeded one warship. As it attacked, however, enemy lookouts spotted it, and it was forced to crash dive to safety.
Dutch Drop Bombs
The communique said Netherlands naval forces had bombarded Japanese storage yards near Oosthaven, at the southeastern end of Sumatra opposite Java, starting numerous fires. (Oosthaven is the terminus of the railroad from Palembang, and thus the communique implied that the Japanese had reached the lower end of Sumatra, which is separated by only 20 miles of water from Java.)
Dutch planes shot down a Japanese fighter plane in a raid yesterday on Palembang, chief Japanese base in Sumatra, the communique said, and one Dutch plane failed to return. Reconnaissance planes reported that fires set nine days ago by Dutch demolition squads who destroyed the Palembang oil installations were still burning fiercely.
Today's communique announced that "far superior" Japanese forces had occupied Sinkand in the Pontianak invasion area of western Borneo.
Keep On Fighting
The commander of the Dutch fighting forces in Borneo advised the high command that he would continue to fight. The communique, issued through the Netherlands Indies news agency, reported that the Dutch troops were still fighting fiercely in Celebes. It said it might be assumed that the Japanese were now in possession of Bangka island off Palembang, on the east coast of Sumatra.
Two Japanese bombing planes and two fighters were shot down by Dutch aviators during fierce Japanese attacks on Java objectives, the communique said. The Dust lost two fighter planes. The pilot of one landed safely.
Japanese planes attacked the Soer-abaja naval base and airdromes in west Java, the communique reported. The Soerabaja raid was a heavy one and resulted in the killing of seven civilian and the wounding seriously of 19, but the communique said little material damage was reported.

Ozark Farmers Plan To Make War Food
Springfield, Mo. — (UP) — Ozark farmers plan to increase their acreage of tomatoes and beans this year to aid in the "food for war" program. The 400 canning plants in the area probably will process $20,000,000 worth of fruits and vegetables, according to W. W. Bancroft, canning company executive.
If the weather is favorable, the 60,000 acres planted to tomatoes in the Ozarks this year should yield 5,000 carloads of canned tomatoes, Bancroft said. This would be three times the amount shipped out last year.

Russian Slant to Shakespeare Ballet Tactics Prevail
The Chekhov Theater players last night put a broad Russian accent on seventeenth century Shakespeare.
Their Hoch auditorium presentation of "Twelfth Night" started off in an atmosphere of drama as deep as that in the English playwright's "Macbeth," and concluded in a riotous flood of comedy and hilarity on a plane with that found in Olsen and Johnson's "Hellzapoppin."
and Johnson's "Hellzapoppin."
But for the opening scenes, all the play's action provided a field day for oldtime Russian balletmasters, who offered a quasi-classical education combining the elements of Shakespearean drama with the finer nuances of the Volga Boatman sort of production.
Any prizes for an outstanding characterization might be given to Ford Rainey fow his portrayal of Sir Toby Belch, a paunchy fellow filled to his ears with wine and deviltry.
Hoopes Liked Olivia
Helen Rhoda Hoopes, assistant professor of English, cast her vote for Penelope Marshall as Olivia, feminine half of the principal romance. Having seen "Twelfth Night" presented several times, Miss Hoopes declared Miss Marshall's enactment of the role surpassed any other.
The Don Cossack antics of the players more than a little confused the predominantly student audience. Those who knew nothing of the structure of the plot before they entered the auditorium knew little more when they came out.
They Couldn't Hear
Probable reason for the confusion on the part of the spectators is that Hoch is too large an auditorium for that presentation. The dialogue did not carry far enough back.
But despite language, culture, and hearing difficulties, the play was carried to a successful conclusion tors well suited to their roles, the by brilliant characterizations by acuniunique of blending between Shakespeare's ideas and Russian interpretations, the method of changing scene settings without drawing the curtain, and the superb fencing of Sir Toby Belch and Sebastian.
Prof. Allen Crafton, chairman of the department of speech and dramatic art, commented: "The good old-fashioned vaudeville is not dead."
To Announce Candidates
The slate of candidates for the Women's Self-Governing Association election March 12 will be announced tomorrow.
Call Mechanics To Instruct In Motor Industry
All the years students have spent working on those old jaloppies may be of some use yet. The United States Civil Service commission is asking for instructors in over ten branches of the automotive industry.
Motor transport has assumed such a vital role in defense activity that the commission has sent out this call. Instructors are needed by the quartermaster corps of the war department.
Salaries range from $2,600 to $4,-
600 a year. Opportunities for advance
ment are many as the policy of the
quartermaster corps is to fill
higher positions by promotion from
lower grades whenever possible.
Background education or experience is required, such as study in college or Diesel engine school or experience as a mechanic. No written test will be given. Full information may be obtained from secretary of the Board of U.S. Civil Service Examiners, at the post office or customhouse in Washington, D.C. or at any first or second class post office.
Union to Sponsor Billiard Contest
The University billiard tournament, sponsored by the Student Activities board for the selection of a team to play in the National Collegiate tournament, will be held Monday in the Union game room.
The winners of the Monday affair will play in the national tournament March 13. They will play in the game room and the scores will be wired in to the Brunswick Pool Accessories company, tournament sponsors. Here the scores will be compared with those of other colleges throughout the country and the winners will be decided.

E. L. Olrich, state defense coordinator, says that headquarters companies in each locality will organize and operate volunteer registration bureaus to be established as a part of all local civilian defense councils.
One member of the Victory Aides will be recruited for each block of built-up area, for each 100 population in suburban districts and for each half township in rural areas. To Increase Preparedness
About 6,000 women are being recruited from Minneapolis and 3,000 from St. Paul.
One of the first duties of the Victory Aides will be to visit each home in the state. Governor Stassen says the organization "will utilize the women of Minnesota in an orderly and effective manner, to contribute to the strength of the nation, to maintain a high mofale at home, and to increase our total preparedness."
The corps was placed under the direction of Mary Keeley, state social welfare worker, and divided into military units under captains, lieutenants, and sergeants.
Women's Defense Corps Raises Civilian Morale

St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 26—(UP)—Minnesota is organizing a women's defense corps which may serve as a pattern for other states.

6. Encourage participation in the Victory program through the Red Cross, purchase of defense bonds and other volunteer services.
Cleveland—(UP)—Pearl Harbor is a sacred name now-too sacred for a beer parlor. When a new cafe was christened "Pearl Harbor Cafe," 3,000 women signed petitions protesting the name and asked a change. It was to "Hub Cafe."

WSGA Checks Election Slate
"I'm the news source, and as yet I have nothing to reveal.
John Conard, college junior, was appointed editor of the K-book for next year, Charles McCreight, chairman of the committee in charge, announced today.
In this manner, Doris Twente, president of the Women's Self-Governing Association, today commented on the fast-developing women's political situation.
Registration of candidates for the 11 offices to be voted upon in the W.S.G.A. election on March 12 took place from 3:30 to 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building. Miss Twente refused to release the names of
those who had made application because the eligibility of the candidates has not yet been officially checked.
The elections committee of the W.S.G.A. is meeting some time this afternoon to approve the applicants as candidates, and examine their eligibility. Reliable sources indicated today that only one candidate had been submitted for each office, and that other candidates would be chosen by the W.S.G.A. Council in
There can be no political parties in the W.S.G.A. The constitution says so. In their place, the organized women's houses have formed, in various years and in varying degrees, combines which select their slates of candidates.
Conard Will Edit K-Book Next Year
accordance with Section 4. Article XII of the W.S.G.A constitution. Miss Twente refused to verify this.
It has been reported today that one of those combines has not organized because of the other's overwhelming power, and has not submitted a list of candidates. Miss Twente would not verify that report.
The W.S.G.A. offices to be voted upon in the election on March 12 are president, vice-president, treasurer, college representative, fine arts representative, and vice-president and secretary of the sophomore, junior and senior classes.
Angna Enters To Present Program
"The Theater of Angna Enters" will be substituted for the canceled lecture by Miss Dorothy Sands of the New York stage, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary in the Chancellor's office, announced yesterday.
Miss Angela Enters, also an eastern actress, will give her program in Hoch auditorium Monday, April 13.
Arthur Pollock, critic-writer of the Brooklyn Eagle, says of Miss Enterts, "What she could do with words is not known, but what she can do without them needs only the eye to see. With face, hands, eyes, and body she can say almost anything, and she can stop when she has said it. It happens too, that there is very little she is afraid to say. She has astonishing sureness and repose; humor, impish or caustic, according to her purpose; and when she wants it, an almost clownish animation.
Marine Corps Takes Freshmen
Formerly, only two sophomores were to be selected from the University and no freshmen were eligible. The telegram received this morning from the marine liaison officer, Lieutenant Paul E. Smith, does not say how many are now eligible but it does give assurance that more men will be accepted than was planned.
Freshmen are now eligible for the candidate class and the sophomore quota has been increased for the marine corps reserve, according to a telegram received by assistant registrar, James K. Hitt from the marine corps recruiting office in Kansas City, Mo., this morning.
Students who are interested should report to Watkins hospital at once. Physical examination will be given March 2.
Sandelius Justifies Democratic Concept
Those who are accepted for the marine corps reserve are enlisted in the Marine corps reserve for four years, but must sign an agreement that they may be held in service for the duration of the war. The men so enlisted are appointed privates first class and placed on inactive status until called for training.
Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott went today to Norman, Okla., where they will be guests of President and Mrs. Joseph Brandt, of the University of Oklahoma, and will attend the K.U.-Oklahoma basketball game tonight.
The Malotts Go to Norman
Sandelius compared the "give it up" philosophy of totalitarianism with the scientific rationalism which we associate with the democratic doctrine. The concepts of the three forms of government in regard to community differ widely. Totalitar-
Democracy conceives of the whole human personality. Sandelius believes that the democratic concept represents a deeper and a more lasting philosophy than any other.
Sandelius said that both governments glorify war and claim a spiritual outlook, criticizing the rising democracies as "materialistic."
Speaking on the need for an order in a world of 80 national sovereignties more or less in conflict with each other, W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, appeared before the Worldat-War class in Fraser theater last night.
Professor Sandelius explained "The Old Order and the New: The Conflict of Ideologies—Totalitarianism and Democracy," by stating that the totalitarian answer to that need for order is an unreasoning nationalism. As a basis for his discussion Sandelius pointed out the differ- $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $

Clayton Harbur: "Lunceford is our favorite band, and we rank him at the top along with Gooodman and Miller. We turned down an engagement tonight just so we would be able to hear him. We think that he has the best colored band in the country; his sax section is really terrific."
Bill Walker: "Lungeford has one of the best colored bands in the country. He is about five years ahead of his time as far as jazz is concerned. His boys work together well and play very danceable music."
Jimmy Brown. Luneford has a good band, and he's full of tricks
Cannon Kane: Lunceford is famous for his arrangements in the jazz field, and he has a unique style that is hard to beat. The members of his orchestra are a versatile bunch and like to cut up a lot. His sax section is definitely superior. They've been together for six years, and are famous for their selections.

Junior Prom Attendance Will Pass 1000 Mark
At noon today 450 tickets had been sold for the Junior Prom, to be held in Memorial Union ballroom from 9 until 1 o'clock tonight. Jim Burdge, dance manager, expected more to be sold during the afternoon. Since tickets are also to be sold at the gate, attendance at the dance will easily pass the 1000 mark. Burdge predicted.

The band will furnish dancers with all the variety they may wish tonight, for Lunceford and his boys are famous for playing many different styles. For lovers of jitterbug Lunceford's "School of Jazznochracy" will turn out tunes as hot as they make them. Sweet swing for its devotees will also be played.
About 130 college juniors and seniors have registered to take the English proficiency examination tomorrow, John B. Virtue, chairman of the committee on proficiency examinations, announced this morning.

The Prom was originally scheduled for tomorrow night, but was moved up a day when Burdge found he could sign Lunceford for tonight. Crosby's band furnished the

This is the third time the required examination has been offered this year. It will be given once more on April 25. To be eligible for graduation all college juniors and seniors must obtain at least 20 resident hours after passing the examination.
Students who have not already registered will not be admitted to take the test tomorrow morning.
Students should bring their registration cards, activity books, and pens.
Closing hours for women students who attend the Junior Prom tonight will be 1:30 a.m., Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, has announced. Other women will observe 12:30 closing hours as usual.

Thoman -Roberts Marriage Announced
The announcement was received from Miller hall today of the marriage of Betty Thoman and Lawson Roberts. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's parents in Kansas City at 7 o'clock, last Saturday evening, February 21.
The bride wore a pale blue crepe dress and a corsage of red roses. Ruth Moritz of Marysville, who was a junior in the College last semester, was the bridesmaid for the marriage.
Those attending the marriage from the University were Dorothy Wiggins, Barbara Reber, Annette Steinle, Helen Martin, and Mrs. S. M. Stayton, housemother at Miller hall.
A reception was given for the couple immediately after the marriage ceremony.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Roberts attended the University. Mrs. Thoman, a junior in the College last semester, was an economics major.
Roberts, formerly of Lawrence, was graduated from the University in 1939 and received his master's degree in 1941. He is teaching at Troy where the couple is now living.
Woman Golfer Wants to Play For Her Country
Minneapolis, Minn.—(UP)—Patty Berg, who has played golf both for fun and for money, now hopes to play for her country.
If she recovers from injuries received in an automobile accident by summer, she will return to the links on a nation-wide tour of exhibition matches to promote sale of defense bonds.
Between now and then she is going to make a series of public announcements to urge the sale of defense bonds and ask contributions to the Red Cross war fund.
"I want to get out of this house and do everything I can to help," she told the firm which employs her. "I've had about all the sitting around I want."
Miss Berg is hobbling about with her leg in a cast.
Kneecap Fractured
Since Dec. 8 the 24-year-old golf star, who won virtually every major women's championship before she became a professional in 1940, has been confined by injuries she received in an automobile accident in Texas. Her kneecap was fractured and her face painfully lacerated.
So her employer arranged the public appearance tour, starting as soon as Miss Berg can travel.
Miss Berg doesn't expect her golf game to suffer as a result of her injury.

Redhead Wants to Enlist Singer Is Crack Shot
New York—(UP)—The big redhead—she was all of six feet swung the rifle to her shoulder and the targets keeled over in a rat-tat-a-tat of precision. About a dozen soldiers, sailors and marines, gathered in an admiring semicircle (not all for the marksmanship), said she was absolutely right.
"You see," she stated, "I'm as good a shot as any man. I'm strong, too. So why won't the government take me for sniping duty? I want to help, but knit-?
ting is out — look at these hands!"
Every night, the redhead said, she goes to a shooting gallery and competes against service men. She likes particularly the Marines who have sharpshooter medals. Night Club Singer
Night Club Singer
"I can do as well as any of them," she sighed, "but what's the use? I'm a night club singer, and I might as well face it. Everything I do they'll say is for publicity."
June Bentley is a night club singer and a very promising one, too. But she is also a crack rifle shot, whose ability (measured by her shooting gallery record) is of no mean order. Her employer, Meyer Horowitz of the Village Barn, gives her a bottle of champagne every time she hits 25 targets in a row and last
week she collected a case. Went Juail Hunting
"I'm a Texas gal," she said, "born in Weatherford, about 30 miles from Fort Worth, and I went quail hunting with my dad, Hampstead Bentley, when I was a kid. I learned to swing a gun then and I've never forgotten how. Dad used to be known as the South's sweetest tenor' on the minstrel stage, but he could certainly handle a rifle.
"And this argument that girls are too weak to serve in the armed forces. Well, I don't expect to be called up to the front, but I should think that they would be preparing to line up some hard-shootin' women ust in case."
Miss Bentley's 150 pounds are pleasantly distributed and she looks something less than warlike in the rustic decor of the Village Barn, a night club in Greenwich Village.

Natives Aid MacArthur By Insurrections
Washington, Feb. 27,—(UP)Japan's 200,000 troops in the Philippines today battled spreading native insurrection and surprise attacks by Gen. Douglas McArthur's forces.
Military officials said fighting was underway in numerous scattered parts of the Archipelago on Bataan and behind the invaders' lines, where the Japanese are struggling to hold their costly gains and organize for an attempted "knockout" assault.
After nearly three months of bitter fighting, the Japanese are trying to bolster their lines across Bataan peninsula. They have been thrown back on the defensive and driven back "several kilometers" near Manila Bay by MacArthur's surprise thrusts.
The increasingly savage resistance of the Filipinos in guerrilla warfare was said by war department officials to be aiding MacArthur in shattering the plans of Gen. Masarahu Homma, the Japanese commander-in-chief in the Philippines.
MacArthur's surprise thrusts launched all along the 13-mile Bataan battlefront, as reported in a communique yesterday must not be regarded as a counter-offensive of major proportions. It was indicated that because of MacArthur's numerically inferior forces are without hopes of reinforcement now, no attempt would be made to break the Japanese main positions.
The assaults undoubtedly were designed to beat the Japanese to the punch, at a time when General Homma probably least expected MacArthur to cut loose with an assault, straighten out the curving American-Filipino positions stretching across Bataan peninsula behind snarls of barbed wire, and disrupt what appeared to be enemy preparations for an all-out attack.
Hill Food Handlers Given T.B. Tests
For the past several years, the University health service has offered sororities, fraternities, and other organized houses the opportunity of having their food handlers examined annually for tuberculosis. Two years ago, the Interfraternity Council made the examination mandatory among their members.
"Because of the close association of the housemothers with students, the examination is recommended for them also." Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, explained today.
To date, the housemothers, student, and non-student food handles from the following houses have taken the examination this year: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Omicron Pi, and Gamma Phi Beta in the sorority group; Beta Theta Pi, Phi Mu Alpha, and Tau Kappa Epsilon among the fraternities; Ricker hall from the cooperative houses, and Mrs. Mae Edmondson's boarding club.
Most of the other houses have completed the tests, with the exception of one or two persons in each group.

Dutch Bombers Attack Jap Fleet Off East Sumatra
Allied Headquarters, Java, Feb. 27 — (UP)— Dutch planes started several fires in attacks on military objectives in the Palemang area of Sumatra yesterday and returned without loss, a Netherlands Indies high command communique said today.
Pilots saw that fires started by demolition squads 10 days ago were still burning, the communique said. Japanese aircraft activity over Java diminished today as compared with yesterday, it was noted.
A formation of Japanese planes dropped many bombs at the Soerabaja naval base, the communique said, but they fell into the sea.
"Our fighter planes soon drove off the enemy," the communique said.
Japanese planes machine gunned Waingapu and Bima, on Sumba or Sandalwood island east of Java, it was reported, but did only slight damage.
Music Teachers To Meet in Hays
Eleven members of the School of Fine Arts faculty are scheduled to take part in the thirty-fourth annual meeting of the Kansas Music Teacher's association which will meet at Kansas State Teachers college at Hays on March 5 and 6.
The program on Thursday morning, March 6, will be devoted to Kansas composers. Miss Meribah Moore, associate professor of voice, will sing a group of three songs by Alan Wells and Miss Ruth Orcutt, associate professor of piano.

The University string quartet consisting of Waldemar Geltch professor of violin, first violin; Eugene Ninger, fine arts senior, second violin; Karl Kuersteiner, professor of violin, viola; and Raymond Stuhl, assistant professor of violin, 'cello; accompanied by Carl Preyer, professor of piano, will play for the first time two movements of a recently composed "Quintet in E Minor for Strings and Piano."
At the chorus and voice forum to be held Thursday afternoon, Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice, will talk on "A Few of the Major Problems that Confront the College Voice Teacher" and at the piano forum, Miss Orcutt will speak on "The Development of Appreciation for Various Styles of Piano Composition." To Hold Forum
At the forum for music education, E. Thayer Gaston, assistant professor of public school music, will discuss "Trends in Music Education," and on Friday afternoon, Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano, will present a group of piano solos.
Robert Palmer, instructor of Piano, will be in charge of the composition and theory forum and Miss Cass will speak on "The Guidance Program and Its Relation to the Theory Courses."
Professor Wilkins is a member of the executive committee of the Kansas Music Teacher's association, and Dean D. M. Swarthout is chairman of the accredited committee. President of the association this year is William Hugh Miller of Kansas State Teacher's college at Hays.
Nazis Crushed By Red Forces Near Leningrad
Moscow, Feb. 27. — (UP)—Russians at Staraya, 140 miles to the south, hunted down trapped German units in the frozen forests and wiped them out, Russian sources said today, bringing the battle for Leningrad to the climax stage.
Soviet forces are dealing the enemy crushing blows at near and distant approaches to Leningrad, with troops and guerrillas wreaking "havoc" upon the Germans from the rear, a Red army officer said.
The officer said hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers were hurling themselves day and night against enemy defenses.
Naval batteries already have destroyed thousands of strong points and silenced 1,500 German artillery batteries, he said.
"Staraya still is in German hands, but not for long," the Leningrad radio said.
There was no clear picture of the fighting around Staraya, where the Russians had encircled the German 16th army and killed 12,000 Nazis. The Russians were said to be in the woods, mopping up the remnants of three German divisions and taking some prisoners.
Kill 5,000 More
A Russian commander, Kilmenko, broadcast from an unidentified sector of the front, over the Moscow radio, that his unit had killed 5,000 Germans, destroyed 128 tanks, 63 guns, 130 machine guns, 39 planes, and had taken considerable booty. The sound of machine guns could be clearly heard in the background as he spoke.
Crafton Casts 'Mrs. Moonlight'
Participants in the experimental stage reading of "Mrs. Moonlight," comedy by Benn Levy which will be presented in the little theater of Green hall March 9 and 10, have been announced by Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, and director of the production.
The role of Mrs. Sarah Moonlight will be read by Reola Durand, college junior. Professor Crafton will take the part of Tom Moonlight, and Virginia Davis, college freshman, will take the role of Edith.
James Barton, instructor in speech, will be the narrator.
Reading the part of Willie Ragg will be Kenneth Jackson, college senior. Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama, will read Percy Middling, and Jessica Crafton, wife of Professor Crafton, will take the part of Minnie. Other roles include Constance Moses, college sophomore, as Jane Middling; and Daniel Bachmann, college freshman, as Peter Middling.
The play centers around a woman's desire to stay young, and the plot develops from complications that result when her wish is granted.
The staged reading of "Mrs. Moonlight" will be more elaborate than a common play reading but not as detailed as a regular stage production. It will resemble a radio version of the performance, but the readers will be seen.
it Herr Hitler Stamp Drive Tuesday
Slap the Japs
The student defense stamp drive will swing into high gear next Tuesday. Under the direction of the Scabbard and Blade, stamps will be sold to students at a table in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall.
The sale of the stamps will continue for a week. Students who purchase them will be given regular stamp books in which to paste them.
Reese Announces Pharmacy Honor Roll
Stamps will be sold at the Jayhawk cafe, Brick's, Rowland's book store, and both the fountain and cafeteria in Union building. Ben Matassarin, president of the Scabbard and Blade, said that it was the opinion of the organization that this method will boost defense stamp sales among students.
One hundred students already have offered to give up some form of amusement to use the money to purchase stamps. Stamps of all denominations will be offered at the desk but Matassarin expects most of the sales to be in ten and 25-cent stamps.
The fall semester honor roll for the School of Pharmacy has been announced by Dean J. Allen Reese. To make the honor roll, each freshman must have a grade average of 2.1 or better; sophomores, 2.2; juniors 2.3; and seniors. 2.4.
The following are included in the honor list: Lucile Baker, freshman from Leavenworth; Frances I. Blair, sophomore from Dillon; Dewey G. Nemec, sophomore from Agenda; George J. Pierron, sophomore from Kansas City; Charlotte Robson, sophomore from Waverly, Bill B. Bass, junior from St. Joseph; and Alonzo Junior Gale, senior from Syracuse.
Ship Ablaze Off East Coast
Asbury Park, N.J., Feb. 27—(UF) —An unidentified ship blazed fiercely seven miles offshore early today and civilian first aid workers awaited the arrival of survivors.
At approximately the same place, a few miles outside the entrance to New York Harbor, where the passenger liner Morro Castle burned in 1934 with a loss of 134 lives, the new holocaust filled the sky with flames. Shore watchers who saw the ship vividly silhouetted, said it was a tanker.
Police Sergeant William Briden, of Belnar, N.J., was patrolling the ocean front at 12:50 a.m., when he saw a sheet of flame mount 200 to 300 feet, followed by an explosion. Within seconds the sheet of flame subsided into a wall of fire some 50 feet high that maintained itself through the rest of the night.
Crowds formed on the beach at Belnar and other resort towns in the vicinity and watched the speeches. Local organizations had coffee, food, and physicians waiting for survivors. Private fishing boats had put out at once.
No submarine activity in waters off New York Harbor has been reported since Jan. 14, when a tank ship was torpeded off Long Island, and Jan. 15, when another ship was lost in the same area.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Before departing for Norman this morning, it was a welcome surprise to see that someone else was doing a little worrying about the game tonight. This worry, however, was in reverse to that of most Jayhawkers. Quoting from The Daily Oklahoman concerning Sooner chances against Kansas, "After all, it's hard to have enough faith to believe the Sooners are 22 points better than they were on the ill-fated night of Jan. 6. Especially when it's pretty obvious that the Jayhawks are at least five points better themselves.
"If it's a matter of brainwork, Bruce Drake will hold his own with the famed doctor. Allen has never beaten Drake at Norman, and last year Drake, who had only a mediocre ball club, beat Kansas twice. What he is cooking up now we don't know, but whatever it is, you can be sure it will surprise Allen and everybody present, as much as anything can surprise someone who is expecting something of a jolt.
"Allen has a truly great ball club, and a Sooner victory would be a true test of Oklahoma's own greatness. The Jayhawks are a great long shot club, and if they are cold or the Sooners find some way to break up their shooting attempts, the Drakemen may turn the trick."
It seems strange that anyone sitting in an Oklahomaan's shoes would sound so pessimistic and yet it doesn't look as if the writer David Wood would be willing to bet his monthly allowance on the Sooners chances tonight.
Perhaps if the Oklahoma fans are really doubtful about the outcome then our Jayhawkers may stand more of a chance than most critics give them. One thing is assured that it will be a battle of two powerful teams that rate at the top of the heap with ranking Valley quintets. In true Kansan spirit this column takes the Jayhawkers by five points.
A SCORING-CRAZY SEASON
This season has produced many outstanding scorers but the one to top them all is Stanley "Stutz" Modzelewski, a softspoken Polish youth who shoots baskets accurately and easily for Rhode Island State. The 21-year old senior smashed the great Hank Luisetti's four-year mark of 1,596 points for Stanford by scoring 18 points 10 days ago against Holy Cross to boost his total to 1,598.
With six games remaining to be played at that time, Modzelewski has a chance to set a record that may withstand the onslaughts of high-scoring basketteers for many years. In four years of college competition against big-time opponents, the Rhode Island flash has averaged 21.6 points a game for 74 contests.
But all of the high scoring is not confined to the East. In the Southwest the West Texas State Teachers have a team that tallies anywhere from 60 to 80 points a game and has even gone over the 100 mark this season. Wednesday night the Teachers came through with another 80-point performance and the remarkable part of it was the 44 points which All-American forward, Price Brookfeld, tallied for his club.
Nearly as sparkling a performance was turned in this week by Bob Hunt, towering Kansas Weselyn center, wh countered with 36 points in a Kansas Conference game. Besides Rhode Island State and West Texas as high scoring teams, Colorado of the Big Seven ranks with the best. In nine conference games the Buffaloes have averaged 57 points a game and the highest scorer on the team, Leason McCloud, has only a plus-15 average a game.
A RIGHT PERTINENT IDEA
With the knowledge that summer school sessions will have tremendous increases in enrollment this summer, Northwestern's athletic director, K. L Wilson, comes up with an excellent idea.
He advocates the extension of intramural sports into the intercollegiate field during the summer months as a war-time conditioning measure. Wilson feels that since most schools will be in regular session because of the accelerated educational program, some form of mass athletics would be beneficial in fitting young men for the armed services.
"Most schools will carry on an intensified athletic program during the summer," the Northwestern athletic director pointed out. "The emphasis will be on intramural sports, but I see no reason why we could not continue baseball by arranging schedules with near-by service teams."
Something of this sort it seems could be worked out for students that will attend the University this summer. With the tremendous increase that is expected, there are going to be students galore who will have hours and hours of leisure time with nothing to do but jelly-and-coke about.
FROM COAST TO COAST. IT'S ALL THE SAME
The Big Six is not the only conference in the country that has its little squabbles and bickerings between member schools. After Purdue had beaten Wisconsin the latter school's publication, The Daily Cardinal, became quite outraged and burst forth with, "The Badgers were not given much chance to upset Purdue on their home floor prior to the game, and was apparent early in the first half that even the officials were going to do their best to prevent such an upset.
"As the game settled down to a hacking, slapping, pushing exhibition by the Boilermakers—with the complete approval of everyone concerned but Coach Harold E. "Bud" Foster and the Wisconsin team—the ultimate outcome was only made close by the heroic efforts on the part of Badgers.
"In scoring but three points on one field goal and a free throw, John Kotz' prospects for breaking any scoring records took a decided drop. An unsolved mystery on the part of Wisconsin fans is why the officials even deigned to award the Wisconsin ace that one free throw. The solution may be that he was all but knocked in two by Don Blanken, Purdue guard, on one of the rare occasions when he was allowed to put his hands on the ball.
If Wisconsin thought that its team had two strikes against it when it played Purdue at the latter's campus, then just what are our Jayhawkers up against tonight with 7,960 Oklahomans and 40 Kansans in the crowd?
Jayhawks and Sooners Meet for Title Tonight
NCAA Berth Also Hangs In Balance
With as perfect a set-up as one could possibly wish for, the Oklahoma Sooners and the Kansas Jayhawkers meet tonight at Norman in a game that will not only decide the Big Six title winner for 1942 but also will have a definite bearing on which team will represent the Fifth District in the N.C.A.A. play-offs in Kansas City next month.
The Jayhawks are at present in first place in the league with six wins and one loss but are closely pressed by the Sooners who have a record of seven victories and two defeats.
Much Depends On Outcome
A victory tonight for the Sooners would definitely cinch a title tie for the Oklahoma outfit with a good chance of winning the title undisputed for this is the last conference game for Bruce Drake's team.
Kansas, on the other hand, must win tonight to have a chance at being at the top of the final Big Six standings without any company. A defeat would make it imperative for the Jayhawks to win their two remaining league clashes with Missouri and Kansas State next week if they hope to tie the Sooners for the bunting.
In the first clash of these two teams at Lawrence in January the Jay hawks romped to an easy win, 54 to 32, but this result will have very little bearin gon the outcome tonight. Drake Formed New Team
The first game followed immediately the ruling by the Big Six athletic council which barred Gerald Tucker, outstanding sophomore center, from competing in Big Six games for Oklahoma for the first semester of this year.
Coach Drake did not have a chance to revamp his team and practice them and as a result it was a haphazard group that fell before the Jayhawks. Since that time, however, Drake took his collection of sophomores and two

Allen hates to have any coach gain a victorious percentage over him and that's what an Oklahoma win tonight would mean. Therefore, he will be all out for victory. In the front line attempting to lead the scoring will be the lanky Black. He only hopes to repeat his first performance against them which netted him 25 points. His running mate will be John Buescher who has proved an excellent feeder. Marvin Sollenberger has been alternating at the guard spot with T. P. Hunter and will see plenty of action.

Hot Hound Team Licks Chalk Co-op
Tonight's Schedule
5:30 Blanks' vs. Crackerjacks.
5:30 Kappa Sigma vs. Acacia.
Tomorrow's Schedule
9:30 a.m. Phi Kappa Psi vs. Sigma Chi.
16:30 a.m. Delta Upsilon vs. Beta Theta Pi.
Ringing up baskets from all over the court, a red-hot Hell Hound squad had little trouble last night trouncing the luckless Rock Chalk Co-op men 50 to 7 in a Division III intramural basketball game.
Leading the Hell Hound onslaught was Bob White, one of the finest guards in intramural ball. White slipped in 17 points, and played a standout floor game. Carl Unruh contributed 12 points to the Hell Hound total
from his forward position.
The fast-moving Hell Hound squad held the losers to a single point in the first half, and then substituted frequently in the third period. Paul Brownlee took scoring honors for the Co-op squad with two field goals.
Sigma Phi Epsilon had plenty of trouble with a stubborn Delta Upsilon squad, but finally downed their opponents 28 to 21. The game was slow and rough throughout.
Phil Russell, D. U. forward, was high point man for the game with five field goals. Leading the winners' attack was Larry Johnston, who starred last year with Newman II. Johnston turned in an aggressive game of ball-hawking, and contributed nine points to his team's total. He received assistance with the scoring chores from Don Widner and Curly Hayden.
Halftime score of the Division II contest was 12 to 9 in favor of the Eag Ep's.
After being badly outplayed in the first half, the Phi Kappa Psi "B" squad hit its stride in the second half to run away from the Delta Tau Delta "B" team 34 to 18. The winners were cold in the first two periods, and went into the third quarter trailing 14 to 11. John Horner and his teammates suddenly found the range, and from then on the contest was all Phi Psi.
Horner and Brown were the Psi aces, while little Bill McIntire, a clever ball-handler, stood out for the losing Delt's.
The high-riding Phi Kappa Psi "A" squad received a forfeit from Tau Kappa Epsilon in a Division I contest. The Jayhawk Co-op squad also forfeited to Battenfell hall.
In the lightest weekend schedule of the season four teams will see action tonight and four more tomorrow morning.

STUDENTS CLASS
Last night's pin matches completed the first round for four of the eight competing teams. The Kappa Sig's moved into a fourth place tie with Sig Alph bowlers by beating them two games out of three. The Beta's retained their position as leaders, taking three straight games from the rollers from the D.U. house.
The Beta bowling team struck out in a blaze of glory last night when they beat the D.U.'s 2466 to 2322, in a three game match. This triple victory clinched first place in the league for the Beta's with a percentage of 761, 16 wins and only 5 losses. The D.U.'s finished last in the league race with 6 wins and 15 losses for a percentage of 285.
The Sig Alph pin-busters lost to the Kappa Sig rollers in a heart-breaking match. In the last line their 801 pin record was just two pins short of the Kappa Sig's 803 pin total. This match ended competition for both teams and left them tied for fourth place with 10 wins and 11 losses apiece. The Sig Alph total for the three lines was 2301 while the Kappa Sig's knocked over 2400 pins.
High seoring man for the evening was Kappa Sig, Bob Gumn, with a total of 584 pins for the three games, and an average of 195 per line. Next

Army Bids For Baseball Ace
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 27 — (UP)— Baseball's leading hitter learns today whether he will go into training this spring with the Boston Red Sox or the army.
Minnesota Selective Service headquarters disclosed that the Hennepin County (Minneapolis) draft board number 6 would have an announcement about the final draft classification of lanky Ted Williams, 23-year-old Boston outfielder who hit .406 last year.
Williams faces either re-classification as 1A—subject to immediate induction in the army—or as 3A—which would allow him to return to baseball where he made a reported $18,500 salary last year.
The draft board's announcement presumably deals with an appeal from Williams' previous classification in 1A.
He passed the physical examination Jan. 8, the draft board physician pronouncing him a "healthy specimen."

Oklahoma's 'Old Man' Still Shows'em How
Norman, Okla., Feb. 27—The Old Man reaches in his pants pocket and carefully lays his cigarets and his key ring on the bleacher seats, then steps out on the shiny basketball floor.
He is bare-waisted but wears basketball shoes, long trousers and a confident expression.
"All right!" he chirps, cockily, "I'll play with the Skins. Let's go!"
"Look out there, Dad, you'll get racked!" shouts A. D. "Ug" Roberts, the varsity's crack forward and cleverest jockey.
"The losers buys the winners an orange squeeze!" calls Dick Reich.
The Sooner varsity that will battle the Kansas Jayhawkers tonight has gone in, showered, and returns to see the coach do his "comeback." With shouts of glee they linger along the sideline in civies to see the fun and rib Drake.
"Everybody pass to the coach!" razzes big Gerald Tucker in his space-piercing tenor.
Drake grins but pays no attention. The scrimmage starts. The coach mixes it with his boys but seems to have lost his touch. They intercept his passes, block his shots, and take the ball away from him. Nobody shows him any mercy.
A Razzing Drake Does Get
After two or three sprints up and down the big floor, the Old Man begins to puff. He tries to drive in for a set-up but some yannigan gives him the hip and he hurtles into the bleachers, barking his shin. He is awarded a free throw at the far end of the court but elects to save the long walk by pegging the ball in from out of bounds where he is standing. Soon he is playing a stationary forward under his own goal.
It is Bruce Drake, the Oklahoma basketball coach and 13 years ago captain of a Big Six championship Oklahoma team that was all-victorious in conference play. Short one player, the 36-year old Sooner mentor de-9
cides to personally fill in as the tenth man at the fag end of the daily drill.
Drake Knows When To Quit
Everybody on his side respectfully throws him the ball if he is at all open.

Ober's HEAR TO KEEP OUR FIETERS
"Yah! Yah!" the varsity shrieks at every pass to the coach. "Tryin' to make the club!"
Finally tiring of the good-natured abuse, the Old Man turns himself loose and for one thrilling play takes the astonished spectators back to the Bruce Drake of a dozen years ago.
Dribbling low and moving fast, the Old Man suddenly seems to pour himself catlike through the entire foe defense. Like a rivulet of spilled water hurrying down a groove in a sidewalk, the dribbling oldster zig-zags past man after man and rises in the air to thread the goal.
The brilliant effort has completely exhausted him but the Old Man is smart.
"Take it in, boys! That's all!" he orders, gruffly, and commandeering the ball and snatching up his cigarettes and key ring, he trots to his office paying no attention to the protestin ghorus behind him of "Ono more goal! Just one more!"

The KANSAN Comments...
The Evolution of Darwin
Two years ago, Australia's naval base of Darwin existed only on a blueprint. Port Darwin then was a sleepy little tropical pearling port on the northern coast of Australia, nearer Manila or Singapore by air line than to Melbourne. It was the isolated, unguarded back door of the continent, marooned from populous Australia by 2000 miles of desert and arid plain.
In 1886, Australia began to build its northsouth transcontinental railway, starting at both ends, through this forbidding waste. By 1929, when the last work was done, a 650-mile gap remained unbridged. By a feat which the Melbourne Argus declared to be, "the greatest construction job in the history of civil engineering," this gap was closed in one season. It was not the length of the road but the inferno of heat and drought which made the task difficult.
Nearly half of Australia lies in the tropics; two-fifths of it has a rainfall of fewer than ten inches a year, and all of that at one time. Through such country, now, long truck trains move cautiously, shrouded in a continuous cloud of dust. Aussies are rushing war materials to Port Darwin, stronghold key to the northern half of their homeland. Near Birdum, 300 miles south of Darwin, the highway enters another Australia—a country of tropical palm and fern forests, of steaming rivers and crocodiles. Such is northern Australia, the territory surrounding the Port Darwin base.
Darwin is now a boom town, bustling with activity of defense preparations. It is not a rigid fortress intended to be impregnable. Its protection organized on the modern "defense in depth" principle, is hidden and camouflaged in the jungle.
Australia is confident that mock victories achieved in recent maneuvers can be repeated against actual Japanese invasion. J.C.K.
Do We Need the Dies Committee ?
Despite the fact that our war reverses are a cause of major concern for most Americans, there is still a lot of grief on the home front that needs clearing up. We refer in particular to the Dies committee "on un-American activities" which has long been an object of criticism.
This committee makes its living by an annual appropriation of Congress. The time approaches when again the Dies committee will present its case for an appropriation; and it is time for Congress to say "no."
The Dies committee has, from the start, been nothing but another disgrace to Congress. The failure can be attributed solely to Senator, Dies, his henchmen, and their conduct in running the committee. For years, Dies has raved about the Communists, with little concern for the Nazis, Fascists, and Jap spies in this country. His failure to warn of "un-American activities" is evidenced by the fact that Dies had apparently never heard of Japan until after its attack on Pearl Harbor.
At the time the committee was founder, such an idea as presented by Dies had its merits. But the program was ruined by placing at the head of the committee men who liked front page headlines more than work. The results made the Dies committee the joke of the country.
Since we are now in the war, there seems little excuse for even continuing the committee. But if Congress decides otherwise, we hope it inspires the committee to greater deeds. Far too much money that is now needed for armaments has gone down the Dies committee "rat-hole." The time that has been wasted by this committee, or as a direct result of it, cannot be estimated but the FBI has been almost constantly busy running down false tips, the result of a Dies brainstorm. Any good results obtained by the committee can never equal the wasted efforts and money shown in this organization's record.—M.B.

You Said It
EDITOR'S NOTE: The University Daily Kansan welcomes letters from readers. These letters should not be more than 200 words in length, and must be signed with the name of the contributor. The editor reserves the right to edit all letters to conform to style and length requirements.
To the Editor University Daily Kansan:
I recently read an article in the Kansan concerning Jimmy Lunceford and his orchestra. Since that time I have heard it mentioned several times by students. They inquire "Why don't they get a good band?" I've seen Lunceford's band a number of times, and he actually furnishes the foundation for the styles of several "big name" orchestras.
In one of your articles you mentioned that Lunceford didn't have a style but copied from other bands. No other statement that you could have made would have been more of an injustice to Jimnie Lunceford.
If you don't believe this, listen to "Annie Lauric," "Margie," "Like a Ship At Sea," all records by Lancefour four years ago, and then listen to some of Glen Miller's and Erskine Hawkins' swing records of today.
Living musicians all over the country admit that Lunceford was playing four years ago what is now the style of some of the most popular "sweet swing" bands.
Sincerely,
J. S.

What price fatigue: Forgotten by her sisters after a Chi Omega feed, freshman Gloria Brinkman went soundly to sleep in a living room chair the other night. Finally, at long last, when someone wandered into the living room to waken her, Gloria responded only enough to mutter fiercely, "Go away! I'm not going to get up until nine o'clock this morning. I thought I told you I didn't have an eight thirty."
Part of Ruth Morrow's duty as a freshman is the care and nurture of an heterogeneous assortment of plants in Barbara Koch's room. In the glut of affairs last week Ruth forgot her chore, and the plants sagged steadily until they were on the brink of death. To revive them, the crafty Morrow put a half teaspoonful of vitamin concentrate and the contents of a cold capsule around the roots of each plant. As a result of this treatment then prognosis not only became negative, but they revived just long enough to wake up and die screaming.
Fasenated, the Kappa freshmen watched him shell the egg and drop the pieces of the shell into the hydrochloric acid, which foamed ghoulishly. The remainder of this experiment will never be known, at least in our time, for at this crucial junction one of the librarians insinuated herself upon the scene and requested Raymond's absence. Which she got.
Admirer of the Kappa pledge class is Raymond Custer. Yesterday his admiration reached concrete sacrifice when he appeared in the library carrying a hard-boiled egg and a bottle of hydrochloric acid, prepared to demonstrate to them how he could not only eat the egg, but also the shell.
At any rate, all the best wishes of experimental science went with him as he reverently carried his hard boiled egg and bottle of acid away from an appreciative audience.
Kansas Amber--brine, whereas modern gums' will float.
Never A Dull Moment For State Geologists
By W. H. Schoewe, Associate Professor of Geology
Something new is continually making its appearance in Kansas. Recently a specimen was sent to the geological laboratories here, accompanied with the question, "What is it?" Experiments proved that the specimen was amber.
Amber is a fossil tree gum or fossil resin derived from coniferous trees. It differs from other hardened resinous tree gums mainly in its extreme age. It usually can be differentiated from modern gums by the fact that amber will sink in a salt water brine, whereas modern gums $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
Amber is a non-crystalline hydrocarbon composed of resins, oil and succinic acid, the latter substance being responsible for the mineralogical name succinite which is sometimes applied to amber. Its color is apt to be some shade of yellow with other colors tending toward reddish, brownish, and white. Amber is soft and can be scratched easily with a knife. It
varies from a clear and transparent material to that which is cloudy and translucent, that is, substances through which objects are seen only indistinctly. Some amber is opal-escent, or shows milky or pearly reflections from the interior of the specimen. Other amber is flour-escent or glows in ultraviolet light. Most amber is easily electrified by rubbing with a cloth. It melts very

High Schools Exchange Hints Through Survey
A survey of journalism in Kansas high schools is being made by the University department of journalism. Questionnaires have been sent out to get information on what each school is doing in this field, Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department, announced today.
The survey is part of the work the department is doing promote the interests of high school journalism throughout With the information $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $
The survey is part of the to promote the interests of high the state. With the information thus obtained, the department will know more about the journalistic activities of each school, and be better equipped to aid and advise them. Jerome Escoe, graduate student, who is working on the project, will tabulate the information, and distribute the results to each school.
Aid High School Journalists
The material received will also be used as an aid in organizing a course for high school journalism advisers. Entitled "Supervising High School Publications," the two hour course was recently approved by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a part of the regular summer session curriculum.
Although it will not be offered during the summer of 1942, the department is interested in learning what Kansas high school journalism teachers think of such a course, and in receiving their suggestions concerning the problems it should consider.
The questions are classed in five categories:
1. The name of the instructor, his qualifications and experience, the type of course taught, its scope, texts and references used, when the course is offered, who may take it, normal enrollment, whether it is required of the publication's staff members.
Inquire Into Advertising
2. The name of the newspaper, its size, cost per issue, frequency of publication, whether printed, mime-graphed, or lithographed, how the staff positions are filled.
3. Advertising: percentage of total cost paid by advertising revenue, number of column inches in average issue, rate for ads, successful methods used to sell advertising space, stunts used to induce student patronage of advertisers.
4. Circulation data: cost of subscription per year, per semester; number of issues a semester, average number of subscriptions, percentage of subscriptions among student body, revenue allotted to publication from activity ticket sales, other sources of revenue, whether student subscriptions are included in activity ticket price.
5. Yearbook (as published in 1941): name, size, cost of printing, art work, pictures; price per copy and number of copies sold; revenue from sales, from ads; advertising rates; method of printing used: Letterpress, offset lithography, or nimecographed; how photographs were obtained, whether from students or from commercial photographers.
Survey Results Distributed
This survey will better acquaint us University department with the problems confronting teachers of high school journalism courses. Also, it will bring to their attention any new papers which have recently begun publication. The results distributed among the schools will make it possible for them to know what others are doing along this line, and make it possible for them to exchange helpful hints, new
practices, and information of general interest.
Each school is encouraged to send a copy of its paper, magazine, or yearbook to the department of journalism for a comparative study of the different practices throughout the state.
Anderson to Speak To Pi Lambda Theta
Dr. Howard R. Anderson, associate professor at Cornell University and director of social studies in the Ithaca, N. Y. high school, will address the annual open meeting of the Gamma chapter of Pi Lambda Theta, honorary educational sorority, in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Appearing through the co-operation of the School of Education, Anderson will speak on "Teaching Critical Thinking."
President of the National Council for Social Studies in 1940. Anderson is the co-author of four bulletins published by that organization. He is the author of several social studies text books and is at present a member of the National Council board of directors.
From April, 1917, to May, 1919 Anderson was in the United States army, serving overseas. After receiving his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Iowa, he joined the faculty at Cornell University in 1937.
The local chapter of Pi Lambda Theta has sent over 250 invitations to students in the School of Education and faculty members and wives in the School of Education and the social science courses. Other students in the education classes will be invited by announcement.

JAYHAWKS---somewhat like in agate. According to a report, the amber was originally discovered either in 1937 or in January 1938, by Mr. George Jelinek, of Ellsworth, after whom the substance was named "Jelinite." The Kansas amber is at least 60,-000,000 years old.
When Tucker did return, he made his presence known immediately by cashing in 18 points against Missouri. In two following games with Nebraska he scored 17 points in each game and then climaxed his appearances with a 25-point splurge against Iowa State when the Sooners lost their second conference game.
Tucker Must Be Stopped
Tucker will enter the game tonight with a 19.25 points-a-game average and this is what the Jayhawkers will have to stop if they hope to come out victorious. "Phog" Allen did not state definitely before he left Tuesday night on the two-game Oklahoma tour which player he would assign to guard Tucker during the game.
It is probable that Ray Evans, outstanding guard, will draw the assignment. Allen will not try to let this be a one-man job, however, and another Jayhawk, the player that happens to be closest to Tucker when he receives the ball, will undoubtedly double up with Evans in an attempt to hold Tucker's scoring down.
Drake's defensive plans are uncertain but he has two top-notch starters who can be given the task of guarding Ralph Miller, the Jayhawk hot-shot. Bob McCurdy, who has been nicknamed "Manacles" because of his tenacious defensive qualities, has been drawing the toughest assignment in past games and is the likely choice. However, Drake may cross up this plan by giving the position to Tucker who also is known for his excellent guarding capabilities.
KANSAS AMBER---somewhat like in agate. According to a report, the amber was originally discovered either in 1937 or in January 1938, by Mr. George Jelinek, of Ellsworth, after whom the substance was named "Jelinite." The Kansas amber is at least 60,-000,000 years old.

Interest to Geologists
Amber is of special interest to geologists for often it contains inclusions of fossil insects, and of vegetable remains, such as seeds, leaves, flowers, and mosses, as well as liquids.

It is used for beads, earrings, pipe stems, cigar holders, and various ornaments. It was one of the first substances used by early man for decoration, and was also employed for medicinal purposes. Much of the commercial amber is washed up from submarine deposits along the coasts of the Baltic and North seas. It also occurs in Sicily and India, and has been reported in the United
States from Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Wyoming. Found in River Bank
The Kansas amber is found in Ellsworth county along the banks of the Smoky Hill river about five miles south of Carniero. It occurs in pockets in a shale about three to four feet above the river level. The amber is in the form of irregular lumps from the size of a pea to pieces that measure more than four by four by two inches. Associated with it is peat, decayed and fossilized wood, and pyrite, or oor fool's gold. My particular specimen is light butterscotch in color, waxy, shines as if polished, and is made up of more or less concentric bands
