NUMBER 95
39th YEAR
Politics Boil The Powderkeg
The executive council of the Women's Self-Governing Association unanimously voted yesterday to postpone indefinitely the spring election. The candidates and the date of the election will be announced later—D. Twente.
A Student Observation
To The Editor,
The University Daily Kansan Sir:
The Women's Self-Governing Association has reached a checkmate in its political progress. Most students are cognizant of the situation which has come about because of the gradual strengthening of the combine system.
One of the combines—very unofficial bodies—became so strong that the other one refused to nominate candidates for this spring's election. This was despite the fact that the declining combine had, counting unorganized dependents, more actual numbers than the more strongly organized one.
Candidates from the renigging combine nominated by the W.S.G.A. council—refused to run. Finally, both combines had to disband and the fate of the spring election is still very uncertain.
That which is not understandable about the whole thing is why political parties were ever outlawed. It is impossible for a democratic, elective system of government to function without political organizations of some sort, and the founding fathers should have realized this fact. They did not make the same mistake in the case of the Men's Student Council.
The combines grew up to meet a need: to provide a feasible method of electing capable candidates who represented the ideas of the majority of the students, at the same time not neglecting the wishes of the minority. They grew up to meet a need, but because they had no official power they have promoted only disunion among the women students.
What is to be done about this situation in the future.

Draft Exemptions For Advanced ROTC
Students in the advanced course of the R.O.T.C. are exempt from the draft. However, all other R.O.T.C. members are subject to military service under the selective service provisions.
Some misunderstandings arose when Col. James Dusenbury requested that R.O.T.C. students in the advanced courses register on February 16. This was not required by law, but Colonel Dusenbury suggested that they do so in order to prevent embarrassment if called upon to show their registration card
The Brew Grows Rich
The Women's Self-Governing Association decided yesterday that, in view of the situation among women at the University, it is time for them to take action toward gaining constructive student leadership.
In accordance with this view, Doris Twente, president of W.S.G.A. yesterday appointed a non-partisan, or bi-partisan committee, considered to represent all women in the University, to study the political situation. This committee will report at the regular W.S.G.A. council meeting at 7 o'clock Tuesday night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
Recommendations will be in the nature of suggestions for a political setup which will allow equal representation to all groups and individual women in the University. All recommendations must receive final approval by the W.S.G.A. council before they can go into effect.
Texan to Speak On Folk Music Here April 17
Collecting folk music in the United States, particularly the southwestern part of the country for many years, Professor Owens has recordings of more than 600 songs. He has specialized in material found in Texas, gathering examples from the many racial sections in that territory.
William A. Owens, professor of English at Texas A. & M., will present a lecture at the University on April 17 concerning "American Ballad and Song," the department of English announced today.
Professor Owens has also collected examples from other groups throughout the country such as the Cajuns of Louisiana. Last year he was a special representative for the University of Texas in its project for an understanding and development of the folk literature of the state.
Definite plans for the lecture have not been arranged, John W. Ashton, chairman of the department of English, explained.
Geltch To Present Recital In Leavenworth Sunday
Prof. Waldemar Geltch will appear in a recital at the Episcopal Church in Leavenworth, at 4 p.m. Sunday, accompanied by Winifred Hill at the piano.
Practice
★★★
Moon Does
Blackout
In cooperation with the civilian bombardment protection, the moon will practice a black-out tomorrow night.
Professor N. W. Storer of the astronomy department offers an unusual aspect of the eclipse — the moon will be totally eclipsed when it rises. The total eclipse will begin at 6:33, (present war time) but the moon doesn't rise until 6:53 p.m.
The moon will reach the middle of the earth's shadow at 7:21 and will start to leave it at 8:10, completely clearing it at 9:11.
The moon should be its darkest at the middle of the shadow, but at no time will it be invisible. The moon is visible even when totally eclipsed, and it will be possible to see it rise Monday night, about 10 degrees north of the east point.
For the astronomically uninformed, an eclipse is caused by the moon going into the Earth's shadow, which is larger than the moon. The moon will be inside the shadow more than an hour and a half.
The reason for the moon's visibility, Prof. Storer attributes to light bent around the earth by its atmosphere. If we were on the moon, he says, we would see the Earth surrounded by a brilliant copper-colored ring. This is due to the sun's illumination of the Earth's atmosphere.
Prof. Storer points out that the shadow on the moon between 8:10 and 9:11 will be noticeably curved, one of the first proofs that the earth is a sphere.
The Whipple comet, invisible to the naked eye, is fairly close to the moon, and will be more visible through a telescope when the moon is in eclipse. Prof. Storer says that if the comet becomes larger, he will hold open house to allow the public to view the comet through the observatory telescopes.
Bali Dancers Scheduled For Concert Course
The engagement of the famous Java and Bali dancers, featuring the artist Devi Dja as soloist, for next season's concert course has been announced by Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts.
The company has scored outstanding successes all over the world and now returns to the United States because of the wide-spread war zone which now includes their homelands.
The oriental dances of the group will be accompanied by an orchestra made up entirely of the native drums and other peculiar gong and string instruments of Bali and Java
Convocation Tomorrow Herring Speaks
Hubert Herring, authority on South America, will speak in convocation at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, as part of the University's cooperation with the federal government to further good will between the Americas.

Need Blood for Defense Later, But Not Now
"The students should not become excited and rush to Watkins hospital to offer blood for the Red Cross blood plasma store, about which there has been so much publicity," Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, said yesterday. At present, the hospital is not equipped to participate in this program; neither is there any need of such participation right now.
The students will have plenty of chance to aid their country in this way when such a need does arise. The University hospitals at Kansas City, however, are being inspected by the Red Cross to determine whether, with the installation of the necessary equipment, it would be possible to es- $ ^{ \circled{4}} $
The American Red Cross is cooperating with the National Research council in collecting 200,000 units of blood to be processed into dried plasma and used by the army and navy. At present, this program is limited to four large cities: Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago, and St. Louis, and a few communities in the areas around these cities.
The blood is collected in these areas either at fixed stations or by mobile units. The most effective personnel for a unit has been found to be: one physician, a secretary, four nurses, and one or two clerks.
A unit of this size can easily handle 75 or 80 donors a day, according to an article in the Journal of the American Medical association. The equipment needed by a unit consists of an adequate number of beds, chairs, and tables; a supply of bleeding sets; and a refrigerator. The mobile unit uses collapsible furniture and requires a portable refrigerator, also a truck (the standard one-ton panel delivery truck has been used successfully).
After the blood has been taken from the donor, its cooling should begin as soon as possible. At a fixed station, it is placed in a constant temperature ice box and kept at between two and four degrees Centigrade. The mobile unit carries a small, insulated, portable box having a bunker for solidified carbon dioxide (dry ice). However, the blood is taken where it can be placed in a controlled temperature box as soon as possible.
The blood is taken to centers in the four cities mentioned above, where it is processed to separate the cells from the plasma. Then the blood plasma goes through a rapid drying process, by which all moisture is quickly evaporated away. The resultant powder can be easily stored, without the need of cooling it or watching its temperature, for
JUNIOR PROM---a period as long as two years, without suffering from deterioration. It can easily and quickly be put into solution by dissolving it in carefully sterilized water.
(continued from page two) harmonized on "Cheatin' on Me" and "Ain't She Sweet."
Individual artists in the band were plentiful. Ben Webster, hitting the high notes and playing his trumpet with one hand, probably provoked more comment and chuckles from the crowd than did any other. Joe Thomas, tenor sax man; Willie Smith, alto sax man; and Jimmy Young, trombonist and vocalist, also gained favor with the promoters by their individual performances.
Jimmy Brown, ace Hill trumpeter, commented, "Boy, when they don't turn out for a solid band like Lumeceford's there something radically wrong; the men are either losing their zest. for dancing, swing is going out, or the last of the month is too hard a time to dig up $2.24."
Dr. Canuteson said that possibly the Red Cross would establish a center at Kansas City, since it is in an important defense production area. If so, then it would be time for the students to think of offering their blood for Uncle Sam. However, since existing facilities are adequate for present needs, this probably will not be done until a much greater need arises for blood transfusions, such as another Pearl Harbor.
Faculty Member on Regional Committee
Lawrence, Feb. 27 — Miss Anna McCracken, of the University department of philosophy, has been appointed to membership on the Permanent Survey Committee of the Southwestern Philosophical Conference, it was learned here today.

Mason Joins
U.S. Navy
Horace Mason, for the last five years in charge of University athletic publicity, expects to leave within a few days for the Great Lakes Naval Training station at Evanston, Ill., where he will undergo a three-week period of indoctrination prior to entering U.S. Naval service.
Mason, a graduate of the University department of journalism in 1937, has been connected with the K.U. News Bureau since that time. He handled all sports publicity from the University, and at the death of Prof. W.A. Dill in 1939, took charge of the News Bureau until K. W. Davidson became its head in 1940.
After his three-week training period, Mason will become an ensign in the public relations department of the U.S. Navy.

To Submit Candidates For Hobnail Hop Queen
"That ain't no co-ed, that's my wife," is what Arthur Lake apparently is telling Larry Parks in this 'scene from Columbia's joyous 'Blondie Goes to College,' now at the Granada Theater for 3 days. And "Blondie," or Penny Singleton, looks as though she'd rather that "Dagwood" Lake forgot the fact. After all, the Burneds went to college to learn something, seems to be her attitude, and maybe Parks has something to teach her? Larry Simms is again seen as "Baby Dumpling," and others in the cost of the comedy include Janet Blair, Jonathan Hale and Danny Mummert. Co-feature, "North to the Klondike," starring Brad Crawford, Andy Devine and Lon Chaney.
Candidates for queen of the Hobnail Hop, which is to be held Saturday evening in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building, are being entered by sororities and the I.S.A.. Dick Lee president of Engineering Council, announced yesterday.
The Hop, exclusively for engineers, will be held from 9 to 12 with Dutch Holland's band from Kansas City furnishing the music. Before the dance, Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau, engineering fraternities, will hold a joint
bang fraternities, you join a banquet at the Eldridge Hotel.
Lee, in his capacity as head of the engineers, asked that the rivalry between engineers and lawyers be forgotten, and that "Uncle Jimmy" Green remain green in name only.
Last year enmity flared when the namesake in front of Green Hall was painted the color of fresh spring foliage by engineers. Members of that group's Council had to remove the paint before the Hop could proceed as scheduled.
Voting will be done by the engineers Wednesday in Marvin Hall. Pictures of the candidates for Hop queen will appear in Tessay's Kansan, but the name of the queen and attendants will not be known until the night of the Hop, Waugh said.
Jim Waugh of the Engineering Council, released the following names as the candidates to be submitted by Saturday evening: Alpha Chi Omega, Betty Leimert; Pi Phi, Martha Alice Horner; Kappa Kappa Gamma, Lois Anderson; Gamma Phi, Shirley Henry; Chi Omega, Martha Jean Nearing; Kappa Alpha Theta, Barbara Barber; Delta Gamma, Joan Basore; A.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Kansas may as well forget about any play-offs for this year. That fact, if nothing else, was gained Friday night when the Oklahoma Sooners took on a difficult job and came out of the scrap with colors flying.
It was a great Oklahoma team that night. It is doubtful if very few teams in the country could have beaten them that night if the opponents had been in Kansas' shoes.
ENTIRE OKLAHOMA TEAM WAS HOT
Most basketball authorities agree that if a team makes 30 per cent of its shots at the basket that team will win the game. Even an average between 25 and 30 per cent will take most contests. But not that one Friday night. Not on your life! Those Sooners fired away at the basket only 58 times and hit for the downright sensational mark of 41.4 per cent. They made 24 buckets during the game. You can't beat shooting like that.
At least you can't beat a team that is hot on long set shots as Oklahoma was Friday night by playing a shallow, stratified zone defense. During the first half of the game Marvin Sollenberger was assigned to guard Gerald Tucker. He was to stay between Tucker and the basket constantly. On the other side of Tucker was to be Charlie Black who was to stay between Tucker and the ball all of the time.
That sounded like a very logical defense before the game. It would stop all passes into Tucker and he would be sewed up. Well, the game started and the defense worked fine—on Tucker. But the thing that wasn't taken into consideration was the fact that Oklahoma had four other players on the court and all of those players were allowed to try for baskets with the same privilege that Tucker had.
The effectiveness of those four players is shown by their record of shots. They were all allowed to shoot, unmolested, from any point beyond the free throw circle. Bob McCurdy hit four of his first seven shots in the first 10 minutes. Don Jones hit two out of three and Paul Heap came through with one out of three. A. D. "Ug" Roberts potted one of his first two and Tucker himself made the only long shot he attempted during the first half.
With such accuracy as this it seems that K.U. could have afforded to let Tucker roam wild and stop the other players from hitting. Consensus of opinion was that Tucker could have been followed man-to-man and put the same type of defense on the other players and it would have resulted in a different score.
Tucker, undoubtedly, would have made more points. But the other players wouldn't have come near their record of shots if they had been guarded closely all over the court. This difference in points would have meant the difference in the outcome of the game, many fans thought, but it is all supposition and might not have worked as effectively as the system used.
In Tucker, Oklahoma probably has the outstanding player in the conference. On offense he is spectacular but not to the point where he shoots unnecessarily. Proof of this is shown in the number of shots he took. During the entire game he took only 12 shots and made 8 of them. Three of his goals were in tip-ins, another came after K.U. muffed a rebound and Tucker grabbed the loose ball for a fourth tip-in, two were long unguarded shots from center, and the other two goals came on direct passes to Tucker from his guards and he connected on "swing" shots.
On the majority of passes into Tucker he was guarded so closely that he passed out to either forward and gave them an open shot. On defense he uses his height to the best advantage. Very seldom was he ever drawn out of position or allowed a player to dribble around him.
And when it comes to rebounds he is practically the entire Sooner team. He analyzes each shot and plays the backboard perfectly for the rebound. Kansas seldom ever got more than one shot at a time at their goal and the man who took the ball for Oklahoma was Tucker.
The Kansas team needs no alibis for the defeat. They placed good enough ball to win any game they have won this season. It was just a question of which team was the hottest and Friday night Oklahoma was sizzling.
The Jayhawks never gave up for a moment during the entire game. At one point the Sooners led 53 to 36 with only 8 minutes to play. Less than six minutes later the score read 55 to 49. And the surprising part of this rally was that the Sooners were playing a stalling game-constantly. This, in the final summation, was what broke the Kansas rally. The Sooners could afford to be slow and deliberate in their movements whereas Kansas had to gamble on close guarding and chance-taking.
MILLER WAS "TOO HOT TO HANDLE"
Odds and ends of the game: Bruce Drake, Sooner coach, made an appeal to the crowd before the game started for all the fans to be courteous and not boo the Kansas players . . . As a result, the Oklahoma crowd was the best behaved of any that Kansas has played away from home . . . One difference that can be noted is that Oklahoma was ahead for 36 minutes of the game and there was very little cause for alarm or boos. . . Bob McCurdy, outstanding defensive man of the Sooners, guarded Ralph Miller and after the game came into the Kansas dressing room and said to "Cappy", "You were just too hot for me out there tonight." . . . McCurdy nevertheless played a bang-up game in spite of the black eye which he received in the first half . . .
Harold Keith, publicity director in sports for Oklahoma and one of the best in the nation, said that Charlie Black was one of the best rebound men he had ever seen and the best in a long, long time ... Oklahoma used many floor passes during the game . . . When guarded closely they would stoop and roll the ball to a teammate . . . "Ug" Roberts, who played a driving game all the while for Oklahoma, collapsed after the game and was "out" for 15 minutes . . . Although the refereeing was lax at times it seemed like one of the better officiated games of the season.
Sooners Drop Jayhawks In Red-Hot Tilt, 63-51
Tucker Is Sooner Ace In All Ways
Pass the aspirin, please! And the entire Jayhawker team, with "Phog" Allen included, must have felt the same way Friday night when the Oklahoma Sooners had finished their torried exhibition of basket shooting and emerged the victor, 63 to 51, over a hard-fighting Kansas quintet.
Kansas was out shot but not out-classed nor out fought. The Jayhawks were in the game fighting every minute and were always a threat, even when 17 points behind with 8 minutes to play.
The Sooners led for 36 minutes of the game but the contest was not as cut and dried as that. It was probably the best game, offensively, that either team has displayed this season. Not only in the number of points scored but also in the consistency of shooting and all-around floor play.
Miller Leads Kansas
Stars of the game were many and not by much of a margin. For Kansas Ralph Miller, John Buescher, and Charlie Black were the offensive stand-outs. "Cappy" bagged seven field goals and four free throws for 18 points. This gives him an even 15-point average for eight conference games. Buescher pushed in five field goals and two free throws for 12 points and a 9.25 average. Black tallied five field goals and one free throw for 11 points. This brought his average down to 13.25 points a game.
Tucker Was Oklahoma Star
For Oklahoma Gerald Tucker was the leader and another sophomore,

This was second high only to his 25 points against Iowa State. His five-game conference average is complete at 19.8 points. McCurdy sank six field goals and one free throw for 13 points and this upped his game average to an even six points.
Ray Evans and A. D. "Ug" Roberts turned in strong supporting roles for their teams. On defense Evans was the main feature as he shuttled back and forth between McCurdy and Paul Heap to keep them from potting short shots.
Kansas started strong by getting the tip, taking the first shot and making it, all within 10 seconds. Miller made the tally but Roberts tied it up on a side swisher. Not to be outdone Miller came back with a duplicate but then McCurdy made the first of his long set shots.
Oklahoma Leads at Five Minutes
Tucker scored on a tip-in as Black fouled him and three points was the result. A little peeved, Black retaliated with two beautiful baskets. The first a tip-in when he saw that Miller's long shot was missing its mark and the second when he took a rebound, faked, and whirled for a set-up. Fifteen points had been scored in the first two minutes and ten seconds.
McCurdy's second long set shot sent Oklahoma into a short lead
Intramural
Stars of the Week
Warren Lowen, Battenfeld—Lowen was this week's star of stars as the high-scoring forward crammed 46 points into the basket in two games with Newman club squads.
Larry Johnston, Sigma Phi Epsilon—Johnston not only led the Sig Ep scoring in the win over the Sig Alph's, but also was the most aggressive man on the floor.
Bob White, Hell Hounds—White, one of the finest defensive guards in intramural basketball, also continued his high-scoring tactics against Rock Chalk Coop as he racked up 17 points.
Joe Crawford, Pi Kappa Alpha—Crawford, a steady forward, had his best week of the season, climaxing it with 12 points against Delta Tau Delta.
Bill Hodge, Phi Kappa PaI—Hodge was red-hot against both Kappa Sigma and Phi Gamma Delta, collecting 24 and 11 points in the two contests respectively.

which Miller tied as he made good a free throw on McCurdy's dolf. At the five-minute mark Don Jones sank a long unguarded shot which sent the Sooners into a lead they never lost.
A Final Kansas Spurt
Oklahoma pushed this lead to 25 to 15 in six minutes but the Jayhawks came right back and in another five minutes had brought the score to 28 to 27 with the Sooners just a point ahead. The last four minutes of the first half were strictly Oklahoma's as they gained a half-time advantage of 34 to 28. That final spurt did much towards deciding the final outcome of the game.
With a chance to rally at the start of the second half, Kansas allowed Roberts to get set on an open shot to start another Oklahoma avalanche. Within 11 minutes the Sooners had run the count to 53 to 36 and the game looked like a walk-away. The crowd was thoroughly enjoying itself but the relaxation came a moment too early the Jayhawks started coming back the long, hard way.
Miller made a free throw and followed with a set shot, Buescher on a close-in push shot and a tip-in, Miller made a one-hander and then a tip-in on Black's missed free throw, and Evans on a side bank shot was the way the rally ran. During this time Oklahoma was limited to free throws by Heap and Tucker.
With two minutes now to go the Kansas cause was spent as the Sooners slowed the game down and stalled and free throwed their way out to victory.

'Door Die' Game For K.U.Tuesday
It will be d oor die for the Jayhawks when they go to Manhattan Tuesday for a return engagement with the Kansas Aggies. Earlier in the season the University of Kansas quintet eked out a close victory over the Aggies at Lawrence in an overtime period, 46 to 44.
The Jayhawks, now resting in second place one full game behind the Oklahoma Sooners, must win over Kansas State in order to keep in the race. A loss would remove all hopes for a chance at
move the Kansans within onehalf game of the lead and this gap could be closed Friday night with another win over Missouri at Lawrence.
It's Rough At Manhattan
The K. U. cagers have a difficult task ahead of them. To defeat the Aggies is hard in itself, but to defeat them in their own crackerbox gym, Nichols gymnasium, is something much harder. During the past three years the Kansans have had only one easy game at Manhattan. That was in 1940 when the N.C.A.A. finalists downed the cellar-dwelling Aggies 44 to 33. The year before that, however, Kansas won only 40 to 38 and last year in another tight game the Jayhawks were victorious, 46 to 41.
Further evidence of the closeness of past games is revealed in the scores from the past five games played at Lawrence. The Jayhawks have won them all but only by a combined total of 14 points or an average of 2.8 points margin for each game. Two of these contests, the last two, were overtime struggles.
X-State Pulled Surprise
7 Friday night while the Jayhawks were going down to defeat at Norman the Wildcats were doing something that no other college team has been able to do all season—that is, defeat Iowa State on their home court. Jack Gardner's team led nearly all the way in winning 36 to 34. Larry Beaumont, husky senior guard, led the scoring with 14 points before fouling out with only four minutes played in the second half.
This game saw the return to action of George Mendenhall, ace defensive player of the Aggies who has been absent for three weeks by illness. His presence in the line-up makes a much stronger backline and it was his guarding which held Al Budolson, top notch Cyclone scorer to two field goals.
Last Chance for Horacek
At the forward berths for the Wildcats Tuesday night will be Jack Horacek and Bruce Holman. Horacek, shifty little senior, will be playing his last game against the Jayhawks and has yet to beat them once.
His scoring average for this season is 6.6 points a game and was the best for the team until Friday night when Beaumont took over with an average of 7.1 points.

school player from Powhattan, is just a sophomore but has been in the starting line-up in every game. He has averaged 5.9 points a game in conference play. Danny Howe, at center, is the fourth and last letterman on the first team and on the entire squad. He holds an even six-point average for nine conference games.
Beta, Sig Alph Faculty Team Lead Volleyball
The Faculty volleyball team with five wins and no losses to their credit still lead Division 1 with a percentage of 1.000. With only one more game to play, they have clinched a spot at the top of the division though they may be co-holders of the title.
The Phi Gam's, Phi Delt's, and Sigma Chi's still are in the running with only one loss apiece. Should the faculty lose their one remaining game any of these teams could move into a tie with them.
The Beta's and Sig Alph's lead the parade in Division 2, both with percentages of 1.000, but the Beta's have a little edge, having four games while the Sig Alph's were taking three. Three teams in this division have lost only one game; the Phi Psi's, the Delt's, and the Triangle's. To offset the two teams fighting for top honors there is a tie on the other end of the standings. The Sig Ep's and Delta Chi's both are scoreless this far in the tournament.

Phi Kappa Psi yesterday morning continued its march toward a play-off position as they defeated the Sigma Chi squad 29 to 23 in a Division I intramural basketball game. The victory was the Phi Psi's ninth in ten starts.
The men of Sigma Chi did not go down without a battle, surprising their highly-favored opponents by holding them to a 15 to 15 tie at the end of the first half. From then on, however, it was all Phi Psi as the taller winners
all Phi Psi as the taller winners dominated play under the basket.
Scoring honors for the game went to Jack Beck, fine Sigma Chi guard, who garnered six field goals. The Psi scoring chores were evenly divided among Bill Hodge, John Hallberg, and Clayton Kyle, each with eight points. Big Steve Meade was the Psi defensive stalwart.
Kappa Sigma after a slow start pulled away in a Friday night game to down Acacia 32 to 21 without undue trouble. Roy Shoaf and Harold Dumler ripped the Acacia defense to pieces repeatedly for goals. Ned Martin, one of the best centers in intramural ball, stood out for the losing Acacia's.
Crackerjacks forfeited to the Blanks. The Delta Upsilon-Beta Theta Fl game was postponed until Wednesday night.
Intramural regular season play goes into its last session this week with 11 games scheduled for Monday and Tuesday nights. The schedule will then be finished on Wednesday evening.
Seeing action in a 10 o'clock Monday contest will be Phi Gamma Delta. The Fiji's will be attempting to rebound from their defeat at the hands of Phi Kappa Psi. Furnishing the opposition for the Phi Gam's will be tough Theta Tau. Also seeing action Monday night will be the Carruth hall and Newman II squads. In Tuesday night's feature, Newman I will attempt to down the classy Sigma Phi Epsilon aggregation.

The KANSAN Comments...
Business No Longer As Usual
Not enjoyable for Britain is the latest assurance from Sir Stafford Cripps to the Churchill government. It would seem that at last the English are beginning to realize the spot they are in, and are planning to treat it as the unprecedented problem it really is—not only to the British government, but to every government still free of dictatorship.
Britain has long been over-confident of her strength on land, in the air, and on the seas. This late awakening to the grave measures she must take should set the American nation yet another example. These two great world powers have, for the past century, been so completely cocksure of their own superiority as a race and as economic powers that the bewildering thing about the whole situation is its belated occurrence.
The United States should realize that her military power is not the overwhelming thing we have all believed. Ever since World War I we should have kept up on our toes, not disarming immediately, but ever increasing our strength in the navy, army, and air forces. Britain has learned her lesson—can't the United States profit by it, or will they have to be convinced firsthand?—T.M.
Natives of Pitcairn Island can lay good claim to the position of the world's most trampled folk. Someone sent them 27 tons of food. In the first place, they weren't starving. In the second place the cargo was sent collect, and it was only after they had spent all of one day rowing the stuff to shore that they were presented with the bill. They couldn't pay, so put the food in storage.
New Zealand and the War
Just 1400 miles east of Australia is an isolated little country which, though having a greater area than England, has a population approximating half of a London suburb. Composed mainly of two islands, North and South, New Zealand proper also includes Stewart and Chatham Islands, and several smaller ones.
New Zealand is at the opposite end of a diameter of the earth drawn from a point near Great Britain, or about 12,000 miles "down under." It is thousands of steamer miles from the rich trading centers and trade routes of the world: the path from western Europe to the United States, the route through the Mediterranean Sea to the Far East, and the North Pacific to Japan and China route. It is isolated in trade, in social migrations, and cultural contacts, as well as ideas. Why, then, need this peaceful little country fear invasion from Japan?
Just this—in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand has probably the best climate, for there are no extremes of temperature and only mild storms. So far as the climate is concerned, it might support ten times as many people; naturally, this point would be of supreme importance to overcrowded Japan.
The people of New Zealand are not entirely unaware of the precarious position it occupies. Since 1938, plans have been made and funds provided for increasing the effective strength of the armed forces, and for centralizing defense control. Nevertheless, Japanese financial interests have been steadily securing control of the basic resources of iron, coal, and manganese.
Its chief trouble is its interdependence with Britain. New Zealand is a pastoral land, producing milk, meat, wool and dairy products. It supplies Great Britain cheese, butter, mutton and lamb. All in all, 40 per cent of New Zealand's main products are sold in London market. In turn, Great Britain supplies many manufactured products which are indispensable to New Zealand. Although at opposite sides of the earth each country is dependent on the other—New Zealand, for manufactured goods, and Britain for her food supply.
Undoubtedly, New Zealand is the most vulnerable single unit in the British empire. Sir Andrew Russell, G.O.C. of the New Zealand Division from 1915-19, stated shortly before England entered the war that New Zealand's wartime position, in case of trouble in Europe which prevented the arrival of aid from England, would be hopeless.
That time, which no one thought could come, has arrived. No one knows what the future will hold for this obscure country which is just taking its place in the news, but it is certain to play an important part.-T.M.

"Fifty Years In Public Service"
("Fifty Years of Public Service" by Daniel C. Roper, in cooperation with Frank H. Lovette: Duke University Press, Durham, N.C., 1941.)
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, America was beginning to feel the first rumblings of the economic maladjustments that were to culminate in the depression of 1929 and the birth of the New Deal. This vital chapter in American history, from the events of the 1890's to the present World War, has been chronicled in rather textbookish fashion by a man who has lived in the thick of it, Daniel C. Roper, former Secretary of Commerce under President Roosevelt, in his recently published autobiography "Fifty Years of Public Service." $ ^{*} $
Mr. Roper, born in South Carolina in 1867, began his public service at the age of 25 as a member of the state legislature during the regime of reform-minded, one-eyed Governor Ben Tillman. Aided by his native ability and fortuitous circumstances, Roger moved into the Washington
political arena as a clerk of the Senate committee on inter-state commerce, during the second Cleveland administration. Advancing in various capacities during the McKinley, Roosevelt, and Taft administration, the South Carolinian became a figure

To the Editor of the Kansan:
Tuesday afternoon, on the "America Today" forum, Mr. Gagliardo said we must make sacrifices for production. Specifically, for the production of arms and ammunition. The sacrifice is of the things we can not get because we have to produce war implements instead. If, in orde rto produce more war implements, we have to produce less consumer goods, whoever is unable to purchase the consumer goods consequently suffers a reduction in the standard of living. But since consumer goods are sold only to those who have the ability to pay for them, the burden of the sacrifice will be felt by those who can't pay for them, lower income groups, labor, etc., rather than those who can, the higher income groups and capital.
If the standard of living is lowered, as Mr. Gagliardo advocates, for the war effort, capital will be forced to switch from imported to domestic champagne, and labor from milk to water.
I would welcome an answer from Mr. Gagliardo as to whether he thinks this reduction in the standard of living, which he advocates for the prosecution of the war, is an equitable and just sacrifice. P.S. Exceptions: sugar and rubber.—Ralph Kessler.

Military Authorities Stress Value of Math For Officers
The February issue of the Mathematics Teacher magazine carried two letters concerning the college men of military age, the U.S. Navy, and mathematics. The first letter, from Louis I. Bredvold, member of the University of Michigan advisory committee on military affairs, is addressed to the head of the training division of the Bureau of Naviga- $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $
ion in Washington, D.C.:
"My dear Captain Lake:
"When Admiral Nimmitz visited the campus of the University of Michigan the other day, he mentioned that there had been some difficulty in finding students in American colleges, other than those in engineering, who were sufficiently prepared in mathematics to make them acceptable for training for commissions in the Navy. This situation ought to be called to the attention of educators in the colleges and secondary schools throughout the country. I should deeply appreciate receiving a statement from you on this matter, especially if you could give me such facts and figures as would constitute a self-evident argument. I hope also that it will not be necessary to set any restrictions on the use of such information. It seems to me that educators should promptly recognize the danger, if there is any, from our past softening of our educational programs.
Very truly yours,
Louis I. Bredvold"
The second letter, a reply to Mr. Bredvold from C. W. Nimmitz, Chief of Bureau of Navigation (now commander of Naval forces at Pearl Harbor), reads as follows:
"My dear Professor Bredvold:
"Thank you for your letter of October 30. While we have not felt that it was our business to compile exhaustive data on our observations of the products of the educational systems of this country, we are in a position to give you some information on this subject.
"A carefully prepared selective examination was given to 4,200 entering freshmen at 27 of the leading universities and colleges of the United States. Sixty-eight per cent of the men taking this examination were unable to pass the arithmetical reasoning test. Sixty-two per cent failed the whole test, which included also

M.
arithmetical combinations, vocabulary, and spatial relations. The majority of failures were not merely borderline, but were far below grade. Of the 4,200 entering freshmen who wished to enter the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps, only 10 per cent had already taken elementary trigonometry in the high schools from which they had graduated. Only 23 per cent of the 4,200 had taken more than one and a half years of mathematics in high school.
This same lack of fundamental education presented, and continues to present, a major obstacle in the selection and training of midshipmen for commissions as ensigns, V-7. Of 8,000 applicants—all college graduates—some 3,000 had to be rejected because they had had no mathematics or insufficient mathematics at college nor had they ever taken plane trigonometry. Almost 40 per cent of the college graduates applying for commissions had not in the course of their education taken this essential mathematics course.
The experience which the Navy had had in attempting to teach navigation in the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps Units and in the Naval Reserve Midshipmen Training Program (V-7) indicates that 75 per cent of
the failures in the study of navigation must be attributed to the lack of an adequate knowledge of mathematics. Since mathematics is also necessary in fire control and in many other vital branches of the naval officer's profession, it can readily be understood that a candidate for training for a commission in the Naval Reserve cannot be regarded as good material unless he has taken sufficient mathematics.
The Navy depends for its efficiency upon trained men. The men are trained at schools conducted for this purpose and the admission of men to these schools is based upon the meeting of certain carefully established requirements. However, in order to enroll the necessary number of men in the training schools, it was found necessary at one of the training stations to lower the standards in 50 per cent of the admissions. This necessity is attributed to a deficiency in the early educations of the men involved. The requirements had to be lowered in the field of arithmetical attainment. Relative to the results obtained in the General Classification Test, the lowest category of achievement was in arithmetic.
A study has been made of the grades received in the examinations of candidates for enlistment in the Navy, classified geographically according to the location of the recruiting station through which the candidates applied for enlistment. It is to be noted that the proficiency in arithmetic in the eastern part of the country was strikingly greater than that of the middle west and west. The lowest average mark east of the Mississippi was equal to the highest average mark west of the Mississippi. The three highest average attain-

Brush Makes Survey Of Military Service Of C.A.A. Graduates
A survey on flight training graduates is being conducted by Edward E. Brush, associate professor of aeronautical engineering, to determine how many of his former students are now actively engaged in military service.
A letter has been sent to the parents of the 303 aeronautical students asking about the men's present activities, their present addresses, and if they are engaged in U.S. Air Corps service. Brush said the replies coming in show that many of the men, if not in the air corps, are serving as flight instructors.

Enrollment Increases In Defense Training
Fowler shops is increasing enrollment in machine tool work from 25 men to 27 men in each class. Two classes are now enrolled in National Defense training. The training is given free of charge.
The first class meets from 4:45 p.m. until 12:45 a.m. and the second meets from 12:30 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. There are now 54 men enrolled in the course and classes are filling repeatedly as trainees finish their training. The men enrolled in the courses
come from a variety of vocations ranging from garage and electrical appliance workers to farmers and barbers.
Paul G. Hausman, supervisor, says that first opportunity is being given those men whose businesses are dying out because of the war emergency. Men who have completed the course now number 274.
Accurate checks are made each month and surveys show that the majority of these defense training graduates are now employed in defense work.
Trainees are given the opportunity to specialize as shaper-planer operators, drill press operators, milling machine operators, engine lathe operators, turret lathe operators, or gear-hobbing machine operators. The trainees are putting in a total of approximately 2,840 man hours per seven-day week.
Hausman says, "The government is giving unlimited opportunities in these training classes. Every man has ample opportunity to learn his work well and how much he learns depends upon his own initiative."
Men who are not subject to immediate draft are eligible to enroll in the defense training classes. Men who are 18 years of age are accepted.
Each man takes the course for approximately 350 hours. The length of the training period varies in proportion to the man's progress.
Those men who are interested in taking advantage of this course should register immediately with the local state employment office.
Persons desiring additional information concerning the training, should see Hausman at Fowler shops.
CONVOCATION—
(continued from page one)
ter at 3:00 Tuesday afternoon, Herring will talk on "How the Germans Work in Latin America."
Herring has appeared before college and forum audiences throughout the country in the capacity of lecturer. His articles on Latin America have appeared in many magazines and newspapers, including Harper's, The New York Times, Yale Review, Survey Graphic, and the Christian Science Monitor.
Herring has specialized in studying Latin America for 20 years, each year traveling through the continent, and attending Pan-American conferences. His most recent book, "Good Neighbors," is based upon the testimony of hundreds of South Americans interviewed in 1941. Some of his other books are, "Rena-scent Mexico," "And So to War," and "Nelson of Smith."
RAISE K.U.—
(continued from page one) Increments of approximately 225, beginning in May, 1942. It is desired that students enlisted as juniors and sophomores remain in inactive status and continue in college until they complete their college courses and receive their degrees. The exigencies, however, of the service may
necessitate their being called to active duty before graduation. In that event, at least six months notice will be given.
Training will consist of a course of instruction as enlisted men, approximately three months long, followed by training for a commission, in a reserve officers' course of a similar period.
Upon completion of the latter course, the officers will be assigned to general duty with troops.
Students who are interested in the Marine corps reserve may obtain further information from James K. Hitt, assistant registrar, Room 122 Frank Strong hall. Applicants must report to Watkins hospital on or before March 2, 1942, for physical examinations.
FIFTY YEARS-
(continued from page 31; of national importance as first assistant postmaster during Woodrow Wilson's first term. He resigned this job to take an active part in the 1916 campaign for Wilson's reelection. Campaigns For F.D.R.
After the Democratic defeat in the 1920 election, Roper seemed resigned to a minor part in political affairs. However, when the Crash came early in the Hoover administration, Daniel C. took up his sword and shield. Seeing in an old friend, one Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor of New York, something of the flaming idealism of Wilson, Roper plunged actively into the 1932 nomination campaign. The chapter in which he deals with William Gibbs McAdoo for the support of the doubtful Texas and California nominating delegates
Mr. Roper is quick to defend the first New Deal cabinet. In the critical situation into which F.D.R. and his cabinet were placed, quick action was necessary. Blunders were made, which only time and experience could correct. Roper is especially perturbed over the treatment accorded the NRA, contends that it was crushed before given a chance to operate. To quote, "years of administrative experience were necessary to make such agencies as the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Trade Commission into smoothly functioning units."
is one of the best in the 402-page book.
In 1937 Roper resigned due to advanced age and as a mild protest against the transfer of the Foreign Service Division from the Department of Commerce to the Department of State. He returned only once to public life, serving as a sort of honorary minister to Canada when the King and Queen of England visited our northern neighbor in 1939.
No "Inside Washington"
Daniel C. Roper, who has lived under fifteen presidents, and served under six of them, has not produced a literary masterpiece. Most of the book is executed in a style more suitable for a history text than light reading. However, on the credit side much can be said. Roper does not indulge in recrimination, nor does he present exposes of inside Washington or its inhabitants, something uncommon for political figures. In a masterpiece of understatement, Harold L. Ickes is referred to as "slightly explosive." Political enemies are treated with true Southern courtesy.
The section containing the most general interest, and probably the best written part of the book is the explanation of the problems confronting the first Roosevelt administration, and how these problems were met. Anecdotes, some excellent, some seemingly dragged screaming from between the covers of Joe Miller's Joke Book, are strewn liberally throughout "Fifty Years."
To sum up, history and political science majors will like the book. For the general reader, it's just a wee mite too lengthy and involved.

Discussion Clubs Merge
Contest Groups Warm-up
A federated discussions club formed from many campus discussion groups will sponsor a warm-up contest at 8:15 tomorrow night in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building in preparation for the district extempore-discussion contest March 11.
Combining with the Forums Board of the M. S. C. and the W. S. G. A. to gain student and financial support toward a unification of all discussion groups to a central program were the Student Union Activities' K. U. Town Hall of the Air, the local chapter of the International Relations club, the Summerfield Scholars' Colloquium, Political Science club, Symposium, History club, and Y.M.C.A.-Y.W.C.A.'s America Today.
Mary Frances McAnaw, chairman of the Forums Board, explained that an amendment to the Forums Board bill providing for the change was read at the latest meetings of the two governing bodies, and will be voted upon this week.
Speakers in the warm-up contest, sponsored by the federated group, will speak for seven minutes on some phase of the program to draw Latin America into closer relationship with the United States. The participants competing for the $15 offered by the Board for the three

Scabbard Sells Forty Stamps In First Hour
The Scabbard and Blade, honorary military fraternity, defense stamp sale started this morning in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall with the sale of stamps to 40 persons in the first hour. The fraternity took over the non-profit job of selling the stamps to help in the national campaign to raise money for the war.
The men in the organization consider this campaign as a way to help the government before the R.O.T.C. seniors go into active service next June. The idea of the campaign is to start as many stud-

Continue V-7 Recruiting
Chancellor Deane W. Malott received word this morning from Lieutenant - Commander Nathan Young, of the U.S. Naval Reserve recruiting offices in Kansas City, Mo., that authority had been received by his office to "continue enlistments in class V-7, officer training program of the Naval Reserve, irrespective of previously assigned quotas."
Commander Young also stated that the qualifications were to remain the same as announced by his office in December, 1941, with the exception that men who are now enrolled as juniors must graduate prior to July 1, 1943; men now enrolled as seniors must graduate prior to July 1, 1942.
Journalist Sheean Brings War to Hill
Vincent Sheean, author of "Personal History," "Not Peace but a Sword," and "Bird of the Wilderness," will lecture here March 10 as a part of the Community Lecture course.
Before V - 7 was temporarily closed many University men took the physical examination and enlisted.
Sheean will come to the Hill shortly after returning from the Orient. He spent the spring and summer in the British Isles observing the war on the western front, returning to New York early in September for a couple of weeks before flying to New
Zealand, Australia and the Far East.
Information has been received by James K. Hitt, assistant registrar, concerning student enlistment in the United States Maritime Commission Cadet Corps and has been placed on file in his office.
The famous journalist's lecture here will be based upon his observations and experiences in the East and West during the past year, as well as upon his personal contact with important news events as a foreign correspondent during the past twenty years in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Hitt Receives Word On Maritime Cadet Commissions
While in Britain, Sheean went out with the British fleet on convoy duty in the north Atlantic. He also flew with the R.A.F. in a bomber over enemy territory, and visited the headquarters in the British Isles of the various Allied armies fighting with the British.
Men interested in taking the training leading to careers as officers in the merchant marine should consult Mr. Hitt.
This will be Shean's first appearance at this University.

Men students who enlisted in the United States Marine Corp Reserve yesterday and today were sworn in at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Officers of the Marine Corps have been giving physical examinations to students yesterday and today at Watkins Memorial hospital. These officers were making their first stop on a tour of colleges in this area to examine students who wish to enlist.
Sergeant J.L. Sullivan, U. S. Marine Corps Reserve, said that only 30 applicants had been examined. The university could have a limit of 36 examined for the Marine Corps Reserve.
Of these, only one, Jim Surface, college senior, had been passed and signed by this morning. Several had passed the examinations but had not yet been back to sign their papers. They were expected to finish this afternoon. Those completing their enlistment here were sworn in at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Wait on Red Tape
(continued to page eight)
About ten applicants had passed their examinations but have to wait until they get their papers in order, their parents permission, birth certificates, or like delays taken care of. One of the applicants, whose parents live in the Panama Canal zone, has to wait until he gets word from them. These men will complete their enlistment in Kansas City.
Wait On Red Tape
The men will be enlisted as privates in the Marine corps for four years or the duration of the emergency, but will be in the candidates class, which
within a few days.
Woodruff's appointment is for the duration of the war period, the Chancellor announced. He will continue with a curtailed teaching schedule.
Dr. Woodruff, who has been on the University staff since 1928, is a graduate of the University, having received his bachelor's degree here in 1924, and his master's degree in 1930. He was granted his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1934.
Hitt, like his successor, is a graduate of this University. He received the bachelor of arts degree in 1934 and the master's degree two years later. He was a mathematics instructor at the University from 1934 to 1936 and later taught at Dodge City Junior College and at the University of Wichita. He attended the University on a Summerfield Scholarship, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
Queen on Friday ★★★
To Foil Laws
Election of the queen of the Hobnail Hop, annual engineering ball, will take place Friday in Marvin hall, instead of Wednesday as originally announced, Jim Waugh, chairman of the committee, said today.
Only one entry has been made since the list of 10 candidates appeared in the Sunday Kansan. The Independent Students' association named its candidate, Mary Jo Cox, college sophomore, last night.
The postponement of the election was a move on the part of the engineering council to forestall any possibility of abduction of the queen by law students, Waugh said.
Pictures of the candidates will appear in the Daily Kansan later in the week.
Students Favor 3-Term Plans
Final tabulation of the Men's Student Council Questionnaire on student activities in regard to the war situation shows that the 1,779 students participating in the poll are strongly in favor of first-aid training, and feel that student activities and organizations should continue on a three term basis.
About one-third of the voters, 645 to be exact, plan to attend summer school. Of these, 595 will attend the first eight-week session, and 370 the second four-week session. While the total of the second two figures

Wow! You are doing your part for your country alright. In a print dress like that you would take anyone's mind off the war.
The crocus pattern will be beacon-bright and wild under your coat. With the flattering V-neckline, chopped sleeves, inset pleated side panels, and all flower-fresh and flashy, there is no doubt that you'll be doing your share in building up morale.
Spring Fashions Frills Take Mind Off War
Build Morale
Everywhere everyone is clamoring at the women, telling them they have their part to play in national defense. Red Cross, nursing, even farming and defense production, all are beckoning their finger in toward the women.
Most of these jobs demand uniforms and clodhoppers. But as long as a woman's war duties consist of going to the Post Office and buying defense stamps, there doesn't seem to be any sense in clouding a man's mind? ___
by folding the feminine chassis into something stiff and unyielding. At least that is the man's point of view. They feel that things are confusing enough without having this extra disconcerting bit thrown at them.
If even the fashionable debs are dressing with a military acce ne, no one will be able to get his mind off the war, and the effect on morale will be dwindling.
When one soldier was confronted with the problem of the grimness of the war and just what the women could do that they weren't already doing, he said that he and the other fellows could always face the facts better if they were given an occasional let-down. And the let down is
where the woman's part comes in.
He further stated, "Hats with veils, and red dresses, and high heels look pretty swell, after eyefulcs of targets through rifle sights and each other in muddy fatigue uniforms."
That particular Yankee in the army had no complaint to make for the southern girls that he had met since getting into the life military. He said that they were all so soft—from their voice to their frilly clothes. He even went so far as to wonder if the girls up North didn't perhaps play too much tennis or something. Well, anyway, what he meant was that the southern gals were doing their part when it came to taking a (continued to page three)

Convocation--their submarines or the Germans to build air bases on their coasts, and who will resist with us air threats from the common enemy and create a world of decency and safety here in our western hemisphere."
'Be Frank with Latin America,' Says Herring
Advocating frank relations with the South American nations, Hubert Herring convocation lecturer who spoke in Hoch auditorium yesterday, believes we should answer the skepticism regarding our affection for the South Americans by a straight-forward reply.
"We should tell them," Herring said, "that it is not loans, or trade that we want, but that we need and must get good neighbors who will play with us and not the enemy, who will not allow the Japanese to refuel"
Herring, whom Chancellor Deane W. Malott introduced as "a Congregational minister gone wrong," has spent the past 20 years traveling and studying in the Latin American countries. Before that, he was 11 years a minister, preaching seven of those years in a Wichita church.
Formerly a Minister
Presenting points of danger in the Latin American scene, Herring mentioned first the great empty spaces in Latin America. In Chile, for example, two-thirds of the territory is unoccupied.
Latin America is rich in soil, minerals, and metals, but poor in standards of living. Farm hands in most parts of South America get wages of four cents a day. Infant mortality in Chile is 25 per cent, the highest rate of any civilized country.
Governments Dangerous
Herring thinks the pattern of government in South America in which some countries are democracies, others favor it, and still others have dictators, is a danger.
"Governments not based on the consent of the governed have an element of great danger in them because they are weak and corruptible." Herring emphasized.
His fifth and sixth points concerned South America's hangover of feudal fascism—land ownership in the hands of a few and the fact that the enemy is already there and operating.
On the brighter side of the South American scenes, Herring stressed the press and its reflection of the sentiment of the great middle class. "The press is a great element of democratic force in South America," he said.
Schools Teach Cooperation
Other highlights which Herring brought out in his address, "Highlights and Shadows of South America," are the fact that new schools were coming into being, and that a new willingness to cooperate with the United States was being shown in all South American countries.
"Those people want to go in with us," Herring said, "and I wish we could find a way to say to them, 'This is our war—not the United States' alone,' but Uruguay's, Argentina's, Brazils, and all the others. If this war is lost—then we all lose together.'"
In conclusion, Herring reiterated,
"This is our war. We don't like it,
but we have only one thing to do
—win, and win right!"
The sixth issue this year of the Graduate Magazine will come out Friday. It will announce candidates for alumni association offices.

Nebraska Takes Big Six Crown
Nebraska Cornhuskers coasted to their sixth Big Six indoor track crown in seven years as five new records were established Saturday night in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
Diminutive Bobby Ginn, Nebraska's defending champion, scampered home in 4:21 to slash 7.4 seconds off John Munski's former mark. In the pole vault, Harold Hunt, Nebraska, bettered his own record in clearing the bar at 13 ft. 10 1-4 inches.
Don Walters of Missouri established a new record in the 60-yard dash in the preliminaries but could do no better than fourth in the finals, won by Red Littler of Nebraska. Walters' record time was 6.2 seconds. The old record of 6.3 was held by Littler and Walters.
Lanky Ken Ferris of Oklahoma eclipsed by an inch the record set by J. R. Jones of Kansas last year in the broad jump. Ferris' leap was 22 ft. 11-1-2 in. The Sooner's Bill Lyda blazed to a new record in the quarter mile in the time of 49.3 seconds. Littler had held the record in 50.1.
Lyda turned in the iron man performance of the meet. He ran both the 440 and 880 in the afternoon to qualify for the finals, then returned in the evening to win both events and anchor Oklahoma to a tie for first in the mile relay.
The Mineral Industries building now under construction will be completed in December of this year.
Bill Smutz, Cornhusker defending champion in both hurdie events, retained his crown in the lows, but faltered at the finish in the highs to bow to Ed Darden of Kansas State.
Comedy to Be Next Week
Cast members for the staged reading of Benn Levy's comedy, "Mrs. Moonlight," go into the final week of rehearsals this week before presenting the play next Monday and Tuesday in the little theater in Green hall.
Reading the role of Sarah Moonlight will be Reola Durand, college junior. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, will read the part of Tom Moonlight, and James Barton, instructor in speech, will be the narrator for the play.
Virginia Davis, college freshman, will take the role of Edith. Kenneth Jackson, college senior, will read the part of Willie Ragg; and Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama, will take the part of Percy Middling. Jessica Crafton, wife of Professor Crafton, will read the role of Minnie.
Others taking part in the play are Constance Moses, college sophomore, as Jane Middling; and Daniel Bachman, college freshman, as Pet er Middling.
This new experiment of the department of speech and drama will resemble a radio version of the play, but the readers will appear before the audience. The play centers around a woman's desire to remain young and the complications that result when she obtains her wish.
Talks On 'Critical Thinking' At Pi Lambda Theta Tea
Speaking on methods of teaching critical thinking, Dr. Howard R. Anderson, associate professor at Cornell University, addressed the annual open meeting of the PiLambda Theta, honorary educational sorority, in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building yesterday afternoon.
After addressing the city teachers in Topeka yesterday morning, the former president of the National Council for Social Studies appeared before the local organization through the courtesy of the School of Education. Doctor Anderson joined the faculty at Cornell University in 1937 after he had obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Iowa.
The annual meeting of Pi Lambda Theta was open to all students and faculty members of the School of Education. Faculty members of the department of social science were also invited to attend.
The teacher of social studies in the Ithaca, N.Y. High School is co-author of four bulletins published by the National Council for Social Studies and is author of several social studies text books. He is now a member of the board of directors of the National Council.
Following Doctor Anderson's address, the educational sorority served a tea. Melva Good, college senior, presented a group of vocal selections accompanied by Winifred Hill, fine arts senior.
Moreau Speaks At Atchison Law Meet
F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, addressed the legal institute of the Atchison Bar association Friday afternoon on "Fraudulent Conveyances in Bankruptcy." The institute met in two sessions, afternoon and evening, at the Atchison hotel.
Spooner-Thayer to Show Bloch Oils This Month

44 States Will Take Part in Radio Debate
New York, N. Y.—(ACP)—Entries for the first nationwide intercollegiate radio debate include 184 universities and colleges, it is announced by Dr. William Peirce, chairman of the board of trustees of the American Economic foundation, which is conducting the educational experiment.
Debating the question, "Does Youth Have a Fair Opportunity Under Our American System of Competitive Enterprise?" are representatives from 44 states and the District of Columbia, including most of the nation's institutions of higher learning. The contest is to end May 10, when four finalists will be brought to New York for appearance on the "Wake Up, America!" forum broadcast over the Blue network. Judges representing both the studio and listening audiences will select the two best speakers who will receive prizes of $1,000 and $500, provided by the foundation.
Each university and college selected its own representatives through student competitions ending last week. Those chosen are to prepare and file 500-word briefs on either the affirmative or negative side of the debate question. Sixteen prizes of $50 each are to be awarded by the foundation for the eight best affirmative and eight best negative briefs, the authors of which then will compete in four semi-final regional debates to be held at selected stations of the Blue network.
Young Democrats Elect; Make Plans for Future
Plans were made to develop the organization for next fall's state election campaign.
The first meeting of the Young Democrats club was held Friday afternoon to elect officers. Bill Porter was chosen president; Florence Allen, secretary; and Sam Kneale, treasurer.
the years of 1931 and 1938,
make up the present collection.
All of these pictures have been exhibited before, and most of them have been on the walls of Sponer-Thayer at some time, although few of them have been shown in Lawrence since the years in which they were painted. One of them, "Shrouded Figures," a composition of one monumental group of draped figures, was included in the exhibition of American Art Today at the New York World's Fair of 1940. Several others were requested for the recent Coronado Quarto-Centennial exhibition in New Mexico.
Landscape is the predominating element in this group of pictures, and though the treatment never is naturalistic and the intention wholly pictorial, the point of departure for several of these compositions may be recognized as the countryside about Lawrence.
Senior Pharmacists Speak
Talks by senior pharmacy students featured the weekly meeting of the School of Pharmacy at 11.30 this morning. James Gillispie spoke on "Laws Pertaining to Drugs and Druggists," and Willis Fankhauser introduced a few pointers on "Drugstore Salesmanship."

THRILLS TAKE----
Perhaps the women of the south come by this soft, frilliness naturally, but if that is what it takes, there should be no reason why the remainder of the women over the country can't give up their tennis for a while and don frills and feminine ways for the sake of national defense.
California fashion designers have already decreed flounces, flowers and frills for spring. "Only in business hours will the office girl wear such practical clothes as tailored suits. Elsewhere, from bathing beach to formal parties, the keynote is femininity plus," they foretell.
The veil, with its hint of mystery is to be in the spotlight for defense too, accompanied by hats decorated with everything from azaleas to giraffes.

I will not commit any form of cheating or dishonest behavior.
Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
The game at Norman Friday was interesting in many respects. Kansas lost, sure, but there were a lot of things that wen on behind and in front of the crowd that were quite disgusting. The Jayhawkers don't have any excuses to make for losing the game. They happened to hit a team that night that was so hot that 41.4 per cent of the shots it took fell through the hoop for two points each.
I just isn't in the books for a team to beat an opponent that is as hot as that. The only team in this section that has ever approached that mark of consistency in hitting the bucket is the Cowboy contingent from Oklahoma A. and M. But the Aggies' system is different in the respect that comparatively few shots are taken and the majority of these are short, absolute cinches.
So much for the Sooner victory. They deserved it and the game is over. But much of the by-play that occurred during the game cannot be forgotten. For instance, before the game started Phog Allen asked Bruce Drake for two new basketballs to practice with. This request was not out of the ordinary for every team in the conference expects it and everywhere else they get it. Oklahoma took the same privilege when they came to Lawrence in January and Allen promptly responded by furnishing Drake with what he asked.
The reason why each team asks for two new balls to practice with before each game goes right back to Mr. Drake. It was Drake who insisted to the other Big Six coaches that this rule be adopted. His fellow coaches agreed and since then they have all lived up to it. But not Drake!
When Allen asked Drake for the basketballs he received in return one used, dirty ball. The smart little Oklahoma coach said that that was all they had in the gym and it would have to do. We at Kansas salute you, Sir Drake.
MATTHEW HALLER
COACH BRUCE DRAKE
Such foresight as yours is a wonderful attribute. And your preparation and courtesy to visitors is unparalleled.
But the Oklahoma niceties do not stop here. It is remembered that last year Allie Paine and "Ug" Roberts made themselves quite obnoxious by their actions out on the court. In several close brushes with Howard Engleman they made slurring remarks and ruffled his hair on more than one occasion.
The same thing happened this year when Oklahoma played here in January and Don Jones, Sooner guard, and John Buescher, Jayhawkower center, opposed each other constantly during the game. At one point when Buescher had fouled Jones the latter mussed Bisch's hair. Another time during the game Dick Reich, Sooner guard, pushed Buescher in the face after a held ball. These tactics certainly didn't show good sportsmanship but were partially overlooked because of the trimming that Oklahoma was taking.
A similar incident occurred at Norman, however, when Marvin Sollenberger fouled Gerald Tucker under the Oklahoma basket. Tucker did the same high-schoolish trick that Jones had done by running his hand through Solly's hair. This attitude is certainly not of the best in intercollegiate competition.
But Tucker didn't stop here. During the entire game he gave the appearance of a spoiled kid who's brilliant playing has gone to his head. Tucker is a great player but his cockiness certainly detracts from his popularity. After Ralph Miller had fouled Tucker once Tucker walked down the floor to his free throw line crossing his fingers at Miller and tsk, tsk, tsking all the way. Undoubtedly Tucker though it was cute but it was a very assinine act.
This type of playing by five Oklahoma players shows quite conclusively that it is not merely the individual players themselves doing these acts but it is the coaching which they are receiving at the present time. Drake may be a clever coach but he could certainly grow up a little when it comes to teaching his boys how to play basketball in a man's conference.
Allen then walked down to Drake, while the game was in progress, and asked him if he would do something about the photographers. Drake gave no satisfaction whatsoever and it remained for Allen to write a note during half-time to Harold Keith, sports publicity director and gentleman deluxe of the Sooner school, before he got any satisfactory results.
Further evidence of Drake's oddities was shown during the first half of the game when photographers repeatedly took shots of the players and of the Kansas bench much to the annoyance of the Jayhawkers. It is a Big Six ruling that photographers must not interfere with players and coaches but this battery of flash-light artists is ignoring the rule completely. When asked by Coach Allen to move or be more discreet in their snapping of pictures, the cameraman paid no attention.
Perhaps Mr. Drake should go back to school and read his English history and learn about the chivalrous acts of courtesy which another fellow by the name of Drake performed. He could well afford to learn such manners and use them in Big Six competition in the future.
Teams Battle For Play-Off Spots Tonight
Intramural basket ball is rapidly drawing to a close and by tomorrow night all teams should be determined that will be eligible to participate in the play-offs.
In Division I the standings are complete with Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi resting at the top of the heap with nine victories and one defeat. The Phi Gam's finished their schedule last night by nosing out a tough Theta Tau squad, 26 to 22.
Newman Leads In Division II
In Division II the standings are complicated at present but games tonight and tomorrow night will finish the schedule and determine the two or three teams eligible to compete in the "A" team play-offs. At present Newman I leads with seven victories and one defeat but must play the Sig Ep's tonight and the Delta Tau Delta's tomorrow night.
Pi Kappa Alpha has finished its schedule with eight wins and two losses and should gain a play-off berth easily. Other teams which still have a chance are the Beta's who have won seven and lost two and play the D.U.'s tomorrow night, the Sig Alph's who have finished their schedule with seven wins and three losses, and the Sig Ep's who have won six and lost three and play their final game tonight against the Newman I team. Two and possibly three teams will be chosen from this division.
Three-Way Tie Possible
In the other "A" division, III, two teams have cinched their play-off spots and a third may join them tonight. Carruth hall defeated John Moore last night 77 to 13 to wind up with nine victories and one loss. Newman II has the same record, winning from the Fountainees last night 49 to 34. Tonight the Hell Hounds play John Moore and if they win will have a similar record of nine wins and one defeat. In that case, all three teams would compete in the play-offs.
In Class B the four play-off teams have already been decided. In Division IV the Phi Delt and Sig Alph "B" teams tied at the end of the schedule with seven wins and one loss. In Division V the Phi Gam and Sigma Chi "B" teams also tied with seven victories and one defeat.
In Division VI, which consists of Class C and D teams, three teams have been decided and the fourth will be determined at 10:00 o'clock tonight in a play-off game between the Phi Delt "C" and the Phi Psi "D" teams. The other three teams will be the undefeated Phi Psi "C" team with six wins, and the Beta and Phi Gam "C" teams with five victories and one defeat.
Drawings to determine the "A" play-off opponents will be conducted Thursday afternoon in the intramural office. Games will not be played until the first of next week. Games in Class B and C will start Thursday night with one B game and one C game at 10:00 o'clock.
Alta Bingham, education senior, and Sue Corson, college sophomore, represented the university in a ping pong tournament at Nebraska University, Lincoln, Neb., yesterday afternoon.

Carruth Runs Up Score
Carruth hall turned in its best scoring demonstration of the year as it walloped John Moore Coop 77 to 13. The Carruth five looked every bit of a strong playoff contender as they racked in goals from every position on the court.
Francis Domingo, intramurals vet- eran, led the scoring for the game as he dumped in four baskets for the Theta Tau's from close in. Chain Healy, Larry McSpadden, and John Conley turned in good performances for the winners.
It was no easy win for ing the play the first half to ga suddenly began to leak and the Engineers drove through for set-up after set-up to outscore the favorites in the second half. The Phi Gam's froze the ball in the last two minutes of play in a desperate attempt to stave off the torrid Theta Tau scoring.
Leading the deluge were R. Anderson and Mac Frederick with 22 and 19 points respectively. Glenn St. Aubyn and Jack Doores assisted with the scoring chores. Bill Chestnut, chunky guard, and Ted Young, speedy forward, were the Coop standouts. The winners held a 29 to 13 lead going into the second half.

Bell and Graham Lead Newman's The Carruth triumph was made all the more impressive by the trouble the John Moore quintet gave Newman II, another playoff contender, last week.
Bell contributed an even 20 points to the Clubmen's total, while Graham contributed 18. Jim Gillispie and Wayne Leonard were the Fountainee stars with 14 and 10 points respectively.
With Bob Bell and Don Graham leading the way, Newman II moved another step toward a playoff position by downing a hard-fighting Union Fountainees squad 49 to 34. The Fountaineurs played some of their best ball of the season in the second half to come back and prevent the game from being a runaway, after trailing 24 to 12 at the end of the first half.
Surprise: Newman Team Loses
The Crackerjacks snowed under an overpowered Jayhawk Coop quintet 41 to 21 in a Division III contest. The winners dominated the rough tussle throughout.
The Blanks defeated Newman III in easy fashion 34 to 13. Delmar Green, Blank ace, turned in another fine performance as he garnered eight field goals for his squad. Bill Stephens and Lloyd Rosenquist led the Newman attack. The winners led 19 to 9 at halftime.

Sigma Chi "B" put on a high-scoring exhibition to top Alpha Tau Omega "B" 62 to 19. The completely outclassed A.T.O. squad had trailed 25 to 10 midway in the game. Kenneth Adams sank 24 points, more than the entire A.T.O. team made, to lead the Sigma Chi attack. Dale Smith collected three field goals for the losers.
In tonight's top attraction the tough Sigma Phi Epsilon quintet will attempt to upset the Division II leaders, Newman I, at 7 o'clock. At the same time the evenly-matched Delta Chi and Alpha Sigma Chi teams will take the other court.
Now Have Answer to Book Checking in College Libraries
Clinton, New York—(ACP)—An answer to the question of how many books the average liberal arts student draws from the college library during his four-year course is made available by a two-year statistical study just completed by Dr. Lewis F, Steig, Hamilton college librarian. That answer—for Hamilton—is 78 books, of which 10 are drawn out as a freshman, 16 as a sophomore, 24 as a junior, and 28 as a senior.
In general, much more reading is apparently done the second semester than the first.

The KANSAN Comments...
Must We Give Up Self-Government Because Hill Women Can't Agree?
One element of the current struggle inside W.S.G.A. involves the question of whether student government shall be preserved at the University. One faction has proposed that a faculty committee select members of W.S.G.A., thereby relinquishing the right of women to elect representatives, and making W.S.G.A. a mere tool of the faculty.
It must be admitted that W.S.G.A. makes mistakes. It would naturally, the members being human, and rather inexperienced human beings, at that. It is to be expected that any group of students delegated to administer the affairs of the student body will occasionally err. It is to be expected that factions will arise, and that there will be rivalry and keen competition. That is the essence of politics anywhere.
Student government has a two-fold purpose. It is designed both to represent the student body, and to train students for useful lives as politicians and administrators in the future. It has been inactive of late, accomplishing little of real value. That is an admission of present inefficiency, but it does not follow that student government cannot be efficient and beneficial.
The University of Kansas is one of the last strongholds of student government. In recent months it has been abolished at the University of Missouri. At Harvard it is a mere figurehead; the governing body has no real power. The same is true of many other schools.
In the past, M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. have been of real value, both to students and to the University. W.S.G.A. has done such work as organizing the book exchange, which has probably saved money for every student at K.U. It has sponsored a program to set up the honor system here, and was largely successful. When activity tickets were first coming into use, it was the student governing bodies which upheld the rights of the students. W.S.G.A. has sponsored scholarships which, although not beneficial to the student body as a whole, are certainly essential to those students who receive them.
With the abolition of student government comes the loss of any representation for the student. However little he now has to do with administration of University affairs is better than nothing. Student government might be made efficient with the decline of political chicanery and the termination of internecine rivalry which menaces it. This cannot be done, however, if student government is to be sacrificed now to political bickering.
Members of W.S.G.A. must forget petty differences among themselves and reach an agreement which will preserve self-government.
When the World Is Free
Few people realize the full significance of the recent negotiations between Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles and Britain's Ambassador Lord Halifax. The agreement reached by these two statesmen might well hail the birth of a new and better world order. It might mark the fall of nationalism and the rise of internationalism—the substitution of cooperation for force.
It signifies that this time the war is not being fought in vain. The roots have been laid for the type of world we have always dreamed of—one without petty racial hatreds and jealousies. Two great countries have agreed to tear down economic barriers that have for decades been the cause of ill-feeling. The fall of still other barricades is possible soon. Such a step is worthy of more than passing attention.
According to this agreement there will be none of the debt bickering that followed the last conflict. This question will be decided in a manner befitting two civilized nations who have fought side-by-side for a worthy and common cause. Likewise there is planned a breaking down of tariff barriers that would have shocked the mercantilists of a few decades ago. Thus will pass one of man's silliest foibles, for the expert economist has never been able to see the value of such tariffs.
Even more important is the part the agreement plays in moving toward a post-war economic union between the two nations. Furthermore, its benefits are not limited to the United States and Great Britain. Other nations are invited to share in the harvesting of its fruits. Here is the economic embryo for a world confederation such as far-sighted men have long desired.
The doorway is open for permanent international peace. Will all nations seize this
chance, or will it be another League of Nations, muffed by the narrow-mindedness of the human race?—J.D.K.

Since Duane Smith took up the ancient and honored practice of going steady, his shadow even stays over at the Chi Omega house to court Christine Turk when he finds he has to be elsewhere.
While at Sunday dinner at the Chi Omega house last week, Smitty had the fact of his honorary membership of Chi Omega brought forcefully to his attention. His fraternity brothers packed a suitcase, painted his name on it, and talked the Chi Omega waiters into bringing it into the dining room between dinner and dessert.
The Life and Hard Times Of Old Blake Hall
From here on, the versions of what happened differ widely. A clipping in the Daily Kansan of Jan. 24, 1919, states: "Professional jealousy led the state architect to draw up his plans as differently from those of Wells as possible. For this reason the unusual architecture of Blake hall." (The article gives no source of information.) Plans Are Revised
Plans Are Revised
It takes but a minimum of architectural knowledge to see that little similarity exists between Blake hall, the physics building, and "Uncle Jimmy's Law Barn." Yet, the original plans for Blake, as drawn up in 1893, called for a building closely resembling the present-day Green hall.
J. Howard Compton, who received his master's degree in architecture in 1932, chose as his thesis the topic "Building at the University." In the thesis he writes that the state architect, Seymour Davis, kept the floor plan of the Wells-Blake design intact, but remodeled the outside to conform with the design of a French chateau that Professor Blake admired. Compton received his information from E. F. Stimpson, retired professor of physics. Well, those are the two stories, take your pick.
While Lucien Ira Blake, professor of physics at the University from 1887 to 1906, was giving extension lectures at Wichita University in 1892-3, he met a young architect named Wells.
The two drew up plans for a physics building at the University and submitted it to the state architect.
On March, 10, 1893, the state legislature appropriated $50,000 for the building. It was designed in a style known as French Chateau, or Chateau Renaissance, which did not find too much favor with the student body. The University Review of March, 1895, the year the building was completed, screams out with the following bit of fantasy: "The sandstone front of the Physics building looks like a speckled chicken. The iron in the stones shows more plainly than the stone itself. If there be no lotion that will remove these blemishes, let a screen be put before the building. The Regents should think twice before accepting unconditionally the sorry looking structure with its chubby, freckled face, its one eye with a cross above it, and its monstrous hat."
Rean View Ignored
The walls of the Physics building (named Blake Hall in 1898) were of native limestone and brick, and faced on the facade and sides with Berea sandstone from near Cleveland. Since Lawrence did not extend as far south as it does today, and since there was no south approach to the campus, the builders virtually ignored the rear view of Blake hall, with results as are apparent today.
No iron was used in the building below the roof. The movable needled galvonometer, used in electricity experiments, is extremely sensitive to iron, so all plumbing was of brass, copper, and lead. However, the fact that iron nails and sash weights were used did not concern anyone until some of the experiments went haywire. Some time later, a movable coil galvonometer, not affected by iron, was installed, so all the trouble and expense of the sans-iron construction went for nothing.
Clock Misbehaves
Piled high on the mound of troubles concerning poor old Blake, the clock (referred to in the University Review as the building's one ever was operated by a master clock on the first floor, with a Rube Goldbergian set of wheels and levers that continually were not in working order. The stock excuse for students who came late to class was "The clock in Blake has stopped again." Repairs to the tempermental timepiece cost the department of physics some $150 annually.

Nash Talks to Rotarians On Child Delinquency
Seeking public support for a bill which provides a new juvenile code for Kansas and revises the present method of committing children to institutions, Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor of education, spoke before the Lawrence Rotary club yesterday. Increasing child delinquency was his topic.
Nash, representing an advisory committee on state institutions appointed by Gov. Payne Ratner, is one of several speakers throughout the state who are speaking before various
groups. The bill will be presented before the next session of the legislature.
Under the proposed legislation, Kansas would spend on approximate $30,000 in caring for Douglas county children committed to state corrective institutions. The bill provides for a central receiving home where each case would receive scientific study and diagnosis to determine which institution would best care for the child.
"Many of our youngsters come out of institutions knowing more crime than they knew when they went in," Nash said. "We need institutions which are good training schools instead of institutions that simply exist. We need to correct, through providing beneficial treatment to inmates after they have been placed in the care of the state."
Kansas Advertises Itself
Kansas "Points of Interest, Historic, Scenic, Recreational," 1942 edition, has been distributed by the public relations department of the State Highway commission. The 32-page booklet, whose sole duty is to advertise the state of Kansas to would-be visitors, contains interesting information about the cities and towns of the state, a colored center-spread map, with historical markers designated, and 103 state, county, city, and township lakes pointed out to the reader.
The cover pictures of the folder include an unusual view of the State capitol, and unique pictures of an Indian, a historical marker, and a herd of buffalo.
The cost of printing the booklet has been shared equally by the Kansas Highway commission and the Kansas Industrial Development commission. Credit is given the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce, Fred Brinkerhoff, Pittsburg, and Roy Baily, Salina, members, for pushing the plans for such publicity since 1934.
Because of the war effort, the initial printing was cut to 25,000. However, the type will be held for further printing if justified by demand, as paper for 100,000 folders was purchased last August.
Requests for copies should be addressed either to the Kansas Industrial Development commission or the public relations department, State Highway commission, Topeka. The L.U. Alumni association office has limited number on hand.
Confer On Oil Development Ralph T. Zook, representative of the oil production firm of Sloan and Zook, Bradford, Penn., will be a visitor at the University this afternoon. He will discuss eastern Kansas oil development with E. A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering.
Class to Study City of Topeka
Prof. W, R. Maddox, associate professor of political science, will take his municipal administration class to Topeka Saturday morning to visit the city finance department.
The class will observe the development of the city budget for presentation to the council and will follow the methods of making a city budget through every step. Arrangements for the trip were made through Monte P. Jones, commissioner of finance in Topeka.
Highlight of the trip will be the inspection of the modern, up-to-date accounting system used in Topeka. Professor Maddox says that Topeka has one of the best-known modern accounting systems in the country. The class will also inspect bond and interest records and various city planning material.
Six to eight field trips of this nature are to be scheduled for the class this semester. On each field trip current interests arising from class discussions will form the basis for the trip.
Some of the coming field trips will be taken in Lawrence. Next week the class will go to Kansas City, Mo., for a study of tax records.

Allies Hold Japs in Java On 3 Fronts
Allied Headquarters, Java, March 3.—Netherlands East Indies troops have halted the Japanese in all three invasion zones of Java, the Netherlands Indies high command asserted today. Enemy troops have failed to gain in any of the invasion zones since the Japanese infiltrations Sunday, which followed the invasion landings of the night before, the communique said.
By UNITED PRESS
It was indicated that the allied forces had taken the offensive in an attempt to isolate the lightly armed advanced units and hold the main enemy advance.
Fighting was fierce in all three zones in which the Japanese had landed men—Bantam province, west of Batavia; Indimayu, north of Bandoeng; and Rambang, west of the Soerabaja naval and air base.
It was asserted that Allied planes, heavily attacking the Japanese at sea and on land, had scored direct hits on two big Japanese transports, one of 10,000 and one of 8,000 tons.
Allied Planes Score
In an attack on a Japanese occupied airport, the communique said, the Allied planes smashed 10 crack Japanese Navy-O fighter planes and killed their crews.
After maintaining silence on operations, while infantry, artillery, and tanks, were being rushed to key areas, the high command was able to say today:
"In none of the three regions of Java where the enemy landed troops Saturday night has he succeeded in advancing since the infiltrations which were carried out Sunday last." Stop Jap Filtration
"BEDTIME STORY"!
The Japanese had sent out light columns consisting of men on bicycles in automobiles and in tanks from their beach heads, in an attempt to find a weak point in the Dutch defenses. A dispatch from the Dutch news agency said, the Japanese in the oSebang area north of Bandoeng, the

Backed by Americans, British and Australians, the Ntherlands forces, including Dutchmen and natives, were counter-attacking in an attempt to cut off the infiltrating enemy advanced detachments and hold the main enemy bodies which had mushroomed out from landing points in the Bantam province, Indramayu and Rembang areas.

Dr. Lyle Powell Exhibits Rare Coins
In Spooner-Thayer
A collection of coins representing 65 countries made by Dr. Lyle S. Powell, Lawrence physician, when he was a flyer during the first world war, is now being exhibited in Spooner-Thayer museum. Dr. Powell's identification discs giving his name and squadron number, and several small silver lucky charms are included in the exhibit.
The coins range from three inches to one-half inch in diameter and are made from silver, gold, copper, and brass. Some of the coins have either round or square holes in the center or at the edge so that they may be carried on a string.
Coins were said to have been invented by the Lydians in 862 B.C. and the first dated coins appeared in the fifteenth century. The barter system was used or small shells were used as
a medium of exchange before 862 B.C.
Some of the unusual coins included in the collection are square, six-sided, or escalloped edged coins from Indian; a large silver coin from China with a picture of an automobile; a heavy brass Korean coin painted red on one side and blue on the other, and a more recent addition, a twelve-sided English coin with the head of King Edward VIII on it and dated 1937.
News From Page One
MARINE CORPS---gives them a chance at commissions. When called, they will get three months training at a marine base. Those accepted for commissions will be placed in a reserve officers school for three months, then will be assigned to service with troops as second lieutenants.
May Call Seniors
Seniors who enlist under this plan may be called to duty on May 1, Sergeant Sullivan explained, although there is nothing definite as to whether they will be called then or later. Underclassmen must have the intention of finishing school, and the Marine Reserve plans to permit them to do so. However, if the need arises they will be called to duty after they have been given six months notice.
From here, the examining board will go to Kansas State, Hays State Teachers College, University of Wichita, Southwestern University, and return to Rockhurst College in Kansas City on March 17. Men who wish to come to Kansas City to enlist should plan to be there on March 18. Those who would like to enlist under this plan had better do so then, for there may be no places for them later, Sergeant Sullivan said.
STUDENTS FAVOR--quoted exceeds 645, it must be considered that several students will attend both sections.
The vote on the first aid training question was; in favor of the course, 1130; against, 624. In regard to the three term basis for student activities, 1172 voted yes, 571 no.
A rather unusual thought process is indicated by answers to the questions. One question was "In view
of the necessity of physical fitness, especially during wartime, do you think all students should take some work in physical education?" A narrow majority, 984 were in favor, with 804 against. However, in regard to the question; "Would you be interested in, and regularly attend a non-credit calisthenics class two or three times in the week?" the vote was almost 2 to 1 in opposition, with only 541 voting yes, against 1234 turning thumbs down on the idea.
SCABBARDS SELL---ents as possible purchasing stamps rather than to see how many stamps can be sold.
Second Table in Fraser
Besides the table in Frank Strong hall the organization has set up a table in Fraser hall. The group would like to get every student to buy stamps daily as the government requests. One of the slogans of the campaign is, "Match a Coke Date with a Stamp."
Business Men Help
Students who want to start saving defense stamps to purchase a defense bond are issued a booklet in which to paste the stamps. These booklets are furnished by the government at no cost to the purchaser of the stamps. When a book is filled, it may be exchanged for a bond at any post office.
Stamp sales should be high in the University judging from sales in the elementary and high schools throughout the state. One Kansas high school with an enrollment of 600, sold $4,000 worth of stamps in one month.

** Writes History **
W. H. H. (Indian Bill) Piatt, Kansas City lawyer and University graduate of 1895, is at work on a history of the University for the years he was on the Hill, 1891 to 1895.
Bill Piatt is writing the history in a purely impersonal and informal manner.
At the University he was a debater, manager of hte Giee Club, a football letterman for five straight years, football captain his senior year, baseball letterman for two years, and a member of Phi Kappa Psi.
Platt recently sent Fred Ellsworth, executive secretary of the Alumni association, a picture of the 1895 football squad. That year, according to an accompany gletter from "Indian Bill," the Kansas men rolled up over 100 points to their opponent's meager 20.

Bradshaw stated that the course will involve a knowledge of different types of bombs, their size, explosive
The primary purpose of the course Bradshaw said, was to train teachers to conduct similar courses to engineering students, especially in the methods of planning for civilian defense against aerial bombardment. The instruction will begin this year, Bradshaw revealed, but will not be conducted on the Hill, probably being restricted to practicing engineering students.
The two-week course, which Professor Bradshaw attended in New York, was sponsored by the Office of Civilian Defense and the United States Office of Education.

To Test Billiards Skill On March 13
The five most expert billiard players on the Hill will match their skill at the National Telegraphic Intercollegiate Billiard Tournament to be held in the game room of the Memorial Union building on Friday, March 13. This tournament of three-cushion billiards is sponsored by the Association of College Unions and the Billiard Association of America.
The scores of the players will be wired to national headquarters and the winner of the tournament will be chosen at headquarters.
Lloyd Greene, senior engineer, another expert billiards player on the Hill, was unable to participate in the play-offs which were held Monday night. It is possible that Greene will play-off at a later date, thus eliminating one of the five mentioned above.
The five contestants are Joe Davison, junior engineer; Harry White, sophomore medical student; Russell Mount, pharmacy junior; Platt Amstutz, graduate student; and Sidney Salt, education senior.

Difficulties between opposing factions representing University women came to a head as the annual election drew near. The minority faction at first refused to enter any candidates in the race, feeling that the overpowering strength of their rivals spelled sure defeat.
To combat this, the W.S.G.A. executive council designated candidates for a non-partisan slate. Those on the slate who were affiliated with the minority faction declined their nomination offering feeble excuses. Offer To Sever Ties
The stronger combine publicly announced release of its "treaties," feeling that dissolving its combine might aid in the perpetuation of worthwhile self-government on the campus. Its move was taken by the opposition to be purely a nominal one, since majority leaders could sew their component parts together again after only a few hours of electionering.

Sales of defense stamps by Scabbard and Blade, honorary military farternity, in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall will continue until the middle of next week. At present the sales have been very slow with only 150 students making purchases since the tables were opened yesterday morning.
150 Students Buy Stamps In First Day of Sales
The idea in sponsoring the non-profit venture is to see how many students can be started toward buying the stamps. Most of the sales have been of 10 and 25 cent stamps. may buy stamps at Brisbane
may buy stamps at Brick's, the Jayhawk, and the Union fountain and cafeteria. At the Union building specials will be made of, "a coke and a stamp, 15 cents."
Folders in which the stamps may be pasted are issued free to anyone who wishes to start saving toward a defense bond. When enough stamps have been purchased to exchange for a bond the owner may exchange them for a bond at the local post office. The government pays no interest on the money invested in the stamps until they have been turned in for a bond.
In the sales slogan of the military men,"Match a coke with a stamp," the Hill jelly joints are cooperating by selling stamps to all who wish to buy them. Students
Organized groups who wish to buy stamps in a block may collect the money and call at the table in Frank Strong hall to leave their orders. The stamps will then be delivered to the group by members of the Scabbard and Blade.
The fraternity wants to start every student who can afford it on the road to ownership of at least one defense bond. They are cooperating with the national campaign to sell everyone a stamp a day.

U. S. Superiority--airmen will best the enemy.
New Fighting Ace Arises In Pacific Air Battle
Washington, March 4. — (UP) — Almost complete annihilation of a Japanese attacking force of 18 heavy bombers by a strong unit of the American fleet and accompanying fighter planes today supported the claims military experts here have been making for weeks—that American fliers are overwhelming superior to the Japanese.
Given only half a chance, these experts have said, American
In almost every major air engagement in the Southwest Pacific that has been announced the Japanese have come off a poor second with Americans. That was true again in the navy announcement last night of its second successful action in about a month in the Gilbert Islands area—2,500 miles southwest of the Hawaiian Islands.
The navy's communique revealed that a strong American naval force—an aircraft carrier, cruisers and destroyers—was operating west of the Gilbert Islands "recently" when attacked by 18 heavy enemy bombers in two groups of nine each. American airmen took off from the carrier and anti-aircraft guns on the surface ships went into action.
Have New Hero
The results after engaging the enemy "closely and vigorously": sixteen of the 18 Japanese bombers shot down, only two American fighter planes lost, only one American pilot lost, and no damage to American surface ships.
In addition to that box score, the navy has a new hero—Lieut. (junior grade) Edward H. O'Hare, U. S. navy fighter pilot — who single-handed, shot down six of the Japanese planes. It was the largest number of enemy planes credited to one American pilot in any single action during the war. In fact, officials here could not recall any similar feat since the use of the airplane as a war weapon.
The magnitude of O'Hare's feat was emphasized by the fact that he was on his own in a single-seater fighter, whereas the planes he was fighting were huge bombers which probably manned with crews of pilots, gunners and bombardiers.
O'Hare's home is in St. Louis. He will be 28 on March 13.
Qualifies as 'Ace'
There was little doubt here that his remarkable job would be officially recognized soon with a distinguished award. Aviators in World War I who shot down five planes—not necessarily in one engagement—were called "aces."
The navy's communique indicated that the object of the Japanese attack was the aircraft crarier. The two groups of enemy bombers, attacking about one-half hour apart, concentrated on the carrier, the lead enemy bomber of one group even seeking a suicide dive on it.
The location of the action "west" of the Gilbert Islands, in which area are hundreds of Japanese mandated islands, made it an even more daring foray than the one on Jan. 31 when a similar naval task force made a surprise raid on Gilbert and nearby Marshall Islands and sent 16 Japanese warships and auxiliaries to the bottom and destroyed 41 enemy planes.
No more entries have been received for the Inter-Organized House Sing, March 22. Ten women's houses have entered.
Navy Turns Dorothy Dix In Crisis
Washington—(UP)—The war has brought an expansion in the less publicized activities of the navy, such as
Giving advice to the lovelorn.
Enforcing a mother's edict that her sailor-son must drink a daily quota of milk.
Allaying fears of wives about their husbands in the service.
Suggesting a proper gift for a naval aviator.
Here are excerpts from some of the hundreds of letters received by the navy;
Milk For Soldier
"Last week my son who is in the navy sent me his picture. It has been worrying me much, as he does not look well and is so thin. How much milk does the navy allow each man? My son is used to having a lot and I hope he is able to get it now."
"I would appreciate it if you could trace my boy friend. No one seems to have heard from him since Nov. 24."
"My brother is a naval aviator and I want to get him a birthday present. I selected an overnight bag but am wondering whether a suitcase to hold uniforms would be better."
Always a Good Boy
"Our son enlisted a week ago Saturday in the navy. He has been told that the first three weeks they are treated terribly (quarantine period). What do they do to the boys the first three weeks that is so bad, or is this just talk?"
"Since I wrote my first letter I have heard from my husband. I am trying to decide whether I should leave here and try to join him when his ship comes to port. I am in the same quandary, I suppose, that thousands of navy wives are."
"Perhaps you might help us to get in touch with our nephew. We have written to him regularly and sent him the home town papers, and they must have reached him or they would have been returned to us. He has always been a good boy and we do not wish to write to his commanding officer."
Student Switches From Pills to Bombs
Columbus, O.—(UP)—Five years ago pretty Roberta Burger came to Ohio State University to master pharmacy and cure humanity's ills with pills.
The war changed that.
In a few weeks Roberta, a comely dark-eyed brunette, will start to work in the laboratory of the Elwood Ordnance plant at Joliet, Ill., to help make explosives.
Miss Burger, the first girl graduate of the special OSU course in the chemical composition of high explosives, attended night school and paid her expenses with a day-time job.
Allies Blast Back at New Jap Drive in Java
By UNITED PRESS
With The Allied Forces In Java, March 4—United States, British, and Australian artillery units blasted Japanese lines in the Java invasion zones today as the Netherlands Indies command rushed reinforcements to aid its fiercely fighting forces to halt a new Japanese advance.
Enemy troops, smashing forward under new fleets of bombing, dive bombing, and fighter planes which gave them aerial superiority over the little Allied force, had made gains in some sectors, it was admitted.
For 48 hours, the Allied forces, Netherlands, and Netherlands Indies troops, supported by Britons, Americans, and Australians had held the enemy hordes and driven them back in some areas.
But in the new attacks, it was admitted, the Japanese under their airplane umbrella had forced their way forward in some sectors of the three invasion areas.
New Push Succeeds
Fighting was bitter and every yard of ground was contested.
It was hoped that the strong reinforcements rushed to vital areas throughout the night might again aid the hard pressed Allies to stop the enemy advances.
It was apparent, however, that the Japanese were again making headway in the three invasion zones, mostly by infiltration across plantations and along wild, tortuous jungle trails.
25 Planes In Raid
Following up their heavy attack of yesterday, the Japanese attacked Bandoe savgely today in three raids. Twenty-five bombing planes, escorted by six fighters, engaged in one raid.
Fires were started at the airdrome and there was some damage in the city.
It was reported that bombs dropped near a hospital.
Reports said that there were few details of fighting in Bantam province at the western end of the island.
Recounting individual exploits by the Dutch soldiers "somewhere in Java" the dispatches said that one Dutch soldier let a number of Japanese tanks drive on to a bridge and then blew up bridge, tanks and himself.
A civilian motorist drove straight into the first of a column of Japanese tanks which appeared suddenly in a road, the dispatchers said, and succeeded in stopping the tank at the cost of his own life.
Bomb Private Estate
Japanese planes killed 17 persons and wounded 12 seriously yesterday when, in pursuit of this policy, they bombed and machine gunned a private estate near Tangerang, 30 miles west of Batavia.
Dispatches emphasized that both the Dutch and the Japanese were now waging total war.
Chemistry Club Meets Thursday
The Chemistry Club will meet tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 in room 201 of Bailey Chemical Laboratories. Dr. Robert Taft, professor of chemistry, will speak on "Properties of Heavy Water" and Mr. Arthur H. Auernheimer, graduate student in the chemistry department, will talk on "Some Problems of Chemotherapy."
British Bomb Targets In Paris Factory Area
London, March 4.—(UP)—British planes, opening an offensive on French factories producing war materials for Germany, bombed industrial targets in the Paris suburbs during the night while other British planes continued attacks on Germany itself.
The great Renault motor works at Billancourt, in the western suburbs of the German-controlled French capital, were the
Lost Colony In Wyoming Is Mystery
When they came, who they were and where they went are all matters for speculation. And the greatest mystery of all is where they came from in those days when Americans scarcely ventured past the Allegheny Mountains and wagon trains were a thing of the future.
Shoshone, Wyo. (UP)—The lost colony of Owl Creek—a group of white settlers who lived on the Wyoming plains around 1770, before the American Declaration of Independence, and then disappeared—today is still one of Wyoming's greatest mysteries.
The late Ed Cusack, who died several years ago in Greybull, settled on Owl Creek nearly 60 years ago and served as deputy sheriff. During that time he wrote a series of local historical narratives.
Discovery Accidental
In one of the articles he described his findings about the "lost colony."
talks about the 'lost colony'.
"Across Owl Creek where I built my house, I found the remains of a log cabin that had rotted so completely that it was by the rarest accident I stumbled onto it," Cusack wrote. "There were a few pieces of kitchen utensils scattered around and of the pattern of a hundred years ago." (He was writing before 1880.)
"Still further down on what was later the Dan Dee ranch, I found the site of a large camp ground," he wrote. "Numerous pieces of old style kitchen ware were scattered around there, showing that white people had been in the vicinity.
"Under the cedar ridge, between Thermopolis and Owl creek. I found where juniper trees had been piled together to form a barricade and the trees that had been cut showed evidence of white men's work.
"I also believe the stone breastworks on the top of Roundtop Butte were the work of white men who were besieged there by some much stronger party. But their fate will perhaps never be known."
Since Cusack's time, several searching parties have discovered further evidence of the settlement but none of the clues answered the questions of origin, identity or the fate of Wyoming's "lost colony."
Hill Bundles for America Select University Officers
In a recent meeting of the Hill sponsors of Bundles for America, the following girls were selected as officers of the University women's division: chairman, Maxine Pringle, secretary, Maxine Walker. Representatives from each of the organized houses may be chosen soon.
New wool is available again at the W.S.G.A. teas. A community room in the armory will be open each Saturday afternoon for those who wish to go there and knit.
*principal objectives of the raid.
It was intimated here that the raids marked the opening of a new phase of British bombing attacks in which the Royal Air Force was determined to strike at French industry now aiding the Germans to kill the soldiers of Britain and her allies.
It was noted that the raid came a few hours after the arrival in Paris of Vice-Admiral Jean Francois Darlan, Vichy vice-premier, who is regarded as a leader of the French collaborationists.
Vichy, France, March 4 - (UP)— Reports passed by authorized Vichy sources said today that at least 400 persons had been killed and 1,000 wounded in a British bombing raid during the night on the Paris area.
It was the first announced bombing of the Paris area since the prearmistice German raids on June 3, 1940, which caused at least 1,000 casualties.
(Since German occupation of Paris, however, the British have made occasional attacks on military airfields in the area. All industrial plants in the Paris area were turned over to the Nazis almost intact after the armistice.)
Texas Girl Travels 174 Miles to College
Zoie Odom Newsome of Texas is co-ed, commuter and housewife. She married a lawyer who has two degrees, so she decided, "I ought to have at least one degree."
To get it, a bachelor of arts degree with a major in English, she is commuting 174 miles by train and automobile daily to study at Texas Technological college, Lubbock.
At 4:50 a.m. Monday through Saturday, Mrs. Newsome arrives at her home in Snyder, Texas. At 9 a.m. she enters her first classroom.
Mrs. Newsome figures that when she gets that degree she will have traveled 50,120 miles.
The train back to Snyder leaves at 4:10 p.m. and arrives at 6:10. She rushes right home to fix dinner.
The nearly four hours a day spent on the train solves her study problem.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1942
WYNDHAM
Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Day by day the path is getting clearer but it is still a little too early to be predicting much in the way of a bright future for the Jayhawkers. Last night they got over what many thought would be their hardest hurdle. Kansas State fell before the Crimson and Blue onslaught in a pitifully easy game.
There just wasn't any competition. Only for a five-minute stretch just after the mid-way point in the first half did the game even appear interesting. At that time K.U. had built up a 9 to 2 lead but this was quickly whittled down as Danny Howe and Larry Beaumont hit the bucket for seven points and were trailing by only a bucket.
KANSAS DEFENSE WAS OUTSTANDING
Foremost of these was the Kansas defense. In contrast with the Oklahoma game, the Jayhawkers stationed their men farther out from the basket and played more of a man-to-man defense. The basic defense still remained a stratified zone but the players were picking up their men all over the court and were following them more instead of checking off quite so much.
But Kansas put on the pressure and tallied ten points to the Aggies three in the final five minutes and the ball game was as good as over. At no time during the last half did the Wildcats ever threaten the Jayhawks and the closest the two scores came to each other was at the start of the half, nine points.
The entire game was extremely ragged throughout. Both teams shagged up and down the floor as if the game were a second-rate soccer match. There wasn't an outstanding man on the floor. There were, however, a few spots during the evening that appeared a little more lively than others.
This didn't give the Wildcats but a few seconds to take their shots and the majority of these were hurried indeed. Evidence of the effectiveness of the Kansas defense is shown in the percentage of shots made by the Aggies. Kansas State fired at the basket 71 times and connected only 9 times for a mark of 12.7 per cent.
Admittedly the Aggies were poor shots last night but the Jayhawk defense was quite instrumental in making their aim as poor as it was. Typical example was Jack Horacek, leading Aggie scorer until last week. Topeka Jack took 18 shots against the guarding of Ray Evans and potted just one of these on a one-handed quick flip shot after he had cross-courted with the ball. Danny Howe and Larry Beaumont each took 13 shots and made three goals.
Beaumont's three baskets were beautiful to watch. Two of them came on long, two-handed flip shots and the other was a dizzy one-handed shot from deep in the corner after T. P. Hunter had fouled him. Howe, on the other hand, made all of his on tip-ins and just bullied his way to the ball.
Kenny Messner, former teammate of Ralph Miller and Hunter, made one out of five shots and the other starter, Bruce Holman, made narry a bucket on his six shots. Marlo Dirks and Johnny Bortola failed to connect on four tries and George Mendenhall, John St. John, Fred Kohl, and Bill Engelland each took two shots with the latter the only one to hit, his lone goal coming one second before the final gun on a tip-in.
The Jayhawks were not too sharp with their basket eyes but came up with a respectable average of 27.1 per cent on 16 baskets out of 59 shots. John "Thin Man" Buescher was the big gun among the offensively-minded Jayhawks. Bisch connected for five buckets out of 12 shots for a mark of 41.7 per cent, which is pretty good shooting.
Next in line was Charlie Black with four out of 15 for an average of 28, per cent. Ray Evans made two set, arch shots out of eight attempts for 23 per cent. Disappointment of the evening as far as field goal shooting was concerned was Ralph Miller's showing. "Cappy" made only three buckets out of 18 attempts but this was offset somewhat by his successful sinking of seven out of eight free throws. T. P. Hunter banged in one of his two shots, Marvin Sollenberger fired away three times and hit one swisher, and Vance Hall missed his only attempt.
BUESCHER CAME THROUGH IN GRAND STYLE
Most pleasant surprise of the game was the demonstration that Johnny Buescher displayed. During the first few minutes of the game many fans were wondering just why he was in the starting line-up. It wasn't long until they were fully cognizant of the reason and it was more than one. He was bringing the ball down the court in wonderful style and his passing was as flawless as ever. But to top it all off his basket shooting was really up to snuff as he garnered 12 points. The K-State clash, along with the Missouri game, was probably Bisch's best effort of the season.
Ralph Miller played a new game last night. He had to. During the first half he took seven shots at the basket and failed to tally once. "Cappy" fully realized that this was his off night and he proceeded to feed his teammates with some of the prettiest passing that Nichols gymnasium had ever, or will ever, see. One comment heard was "Miller could probably pass better blind-folded than the entire K-State team could do in broad daylight." And it came from a K-State student! Miller's shots rolled around the ring the entire night without dropping through for him. In the final minute of the first half Cappy made a beautiful underhanded shot that dipped down into the bucket only to pop out again. Miller was there to take the rebound and laid another perfect shot onto the backboard but this also rolled in and out. Shots like this continued for the full 40 minutes but "Cappy" made up for the failure of these to drop through by playing an outstanding passing and floor game.
Kansas Whips K-State
Hopes Live In Ragged Tilt,45-26
The Jayhawkers kept alive their title hopes last night by downing the Kansas State Wildcats at Manhattan in the poorest game of the season, 45 to 26.
The contest was ragged throughout and in contrast to the thrilling, slam-bang battle played at Lawrence earlier in the year, the game last night was dull, lifeless, and methodical throughout.
Buescher Goes Good
Ralph Miller was high scorer again for the Kansans but only by benefit of the seven free throws which he dunked through the hoop. He was held scoreless from the field for 25 minutes and looped three fielders through the hoop in the remaining time to finish with 13 points. "Cappy" qualified his offensive playing by his brilliant passing and team play.
John Buescher was the true Kansas offensive star as he cashed in his chips for five buckets and two free throws. He led the Jayhawk break down the court each time and his passing was up to his usual high standards.
Charlie Black with eight points and Ray Evans with six tallies aided materially in the win as the former rebounded beautifully and the latter shone on defense.
For Kansas State Danny Howe was the offensive leader as he gathered in 10 points. Larry Beaumont, who broke his nose in a second-half collision with Charlie Black, was the sparkplug of the Aggies, however, and his charging tactics up and down the court provided the only real competition for the Jayhawks.
Kansas Scores First
Kansas broke into an early lead as Charlie Black dribbed around Kenny Messner to sink a set-up in the first half-minute of play. Johnny Buescher followed this with a sweeping, one-hander from the corner and the Jayhawks were off to the races.
Messner scored first for the Aggies on a set shot with four and one-half minutes played. Kansas took another spurt as Marvin Sollenberger was left unguarded in the corner and potted a sweet set shot.
Ralph Miller, who hadn't been hitting on his early shots, came up with one of the prettiest passes of the game when he blocked Beaumont's long shot, recovered the ball and dribbed down court to pass behind his back to Buescher, who took the sphere on up to the goal and counted two more points. Bisch made the ninth K.U. point when Messner fouled him at the ten-minute mark. Kansas led, 9 to 2.
Kansas State put on its only real display of talent at this point when Danny Howe took a rebound and made a tip-in, being fouled by Sollenberger while shooting. The free throw was good and K-State trailed 9 to 5.
Wildcats Spurt Once
Beaumont then took two long, two-handed flip shots and both crashed the netting without touching the ring. This tied the score

JOHN BUESCHER
This was the last time the Aggies were ever within hailing distance of the Jayhawks as the heat started to come on from the Crimson and Blue quintet.
with nearly 15 minutes played. Ray Evans then took a high arch-shot from fairly close and T. P. Hunter followed this with a close-in one-hander.
Crowd Gives Vent to Emotions
Miller made good his two free throws on Bruce Holman's foul to score his first points of the game
Beaumont broke an Aggies cheer as he looped in an unconscious one-hander from deep in the corner after Hunter had jostled him considerably. The free throw was bad and the Aggies trailed 15 to 11.
YACHTS
After the floor had been cleared
Miller made good his third free throw on Marlo Dirks foul and when Beaumont fouled Hunter the crowd just stormed. Of the 2,900 people in overflowing Nichols gymnasium, a goodly portion of them let fly at the officials with programs, pencils, and whatever they had handy. This was the most violent demonstration of the evening but minor repercussions occurred several times before the game was over. After the floor had been cleared
Hunter made good his free throw and duplicated the feat 15 seconds later when Dirks fouled him. Black then hustled in for a set-up and K.U. led 20 to 11. Miller finished the Kansas scoring on a free throw after Johnny Bortka's foul and Dirks tallied the final Aggies point on Hunter's foul.
The second half was Kansas all the way. Evans started proceedings with a high, arch-shot from center court but this was matched as Jack Horacek got his only goal of the game on a quick cross-court thrust with a one-handed shot shot.
With four minutes and 25 seconds of the half elapsed, Miller sank his first field goal of the evening on a long, two-handed swisher. He followed this 25 seconds later with a typical one-handed swisher.
Black made good on a tip-in and Buescher did likewise. Howe added three points to the Aggie total as he scored on a tip-in and Hunter's foul. Howe repeated on his free throw act again as Hunter committed his fourth foul with seven and one-half minutes played.
Mendenhall fouled Miller to give "Cappy" two successful free tosses. Evans and Mendenhall each made free throws and Howe scored on a tip-in to give Kansas a 34 to 21 lead at the 10-minute mark.
Miller sank a one-hander from deep in the corner as the game continued to get rough. Mendenhall

Bengals Hit Town Friday
Just one more game remains on the regular season's schedule for the Jayhawkers and that comes up this Friday night when the Missouri Tigers come to Lawrence for a game that will hold the future of the Kansas team for this vaer.
If the Jayhawks can leap over this final hurdle they will tie the Oklahoma Sooners for the Big Six championship with a record of eight wins and two losses. Chances will be then overwhelming that the Jayhawks will be chosen as the Big Six representative in any further post-season play.
AL
The Missouri team has been experiencing one of its poorest seasons under the tutelage of George Edwards. Only two conference games have been won and a loss Friday night would send them to the cellar of the conference beneath Kansas State.
One of the outstanding additions to the Tiger squad since the Jayhawks played at Columbia this year is Keith Bangert, letterman forward. The other addition is the little whirling forward who tallied 17 points at Lawrence last year, Herbie Gregg.

Biography of Gehrig To Be Released Soon
New York, March 4—(UP)—In a few days there will appear on the shelves of your neighborhood book store a new volume bearing a blue and white jacket and the title, "Lou Gehrig, the Quiet Hero." If you neglect to buy it and read it you will miss something that is clean and fine and brave.
It is not an ordinary sport book. It is not concerned with technicalities, it contains no errors and it doesn't drip with the usual hokum. It is a simple story told by one of the few men who possess the perspective $ ^{ \textcircled{1} }$
who possess the perspective and the talents to tell it in the manner in which it was lived.
A Non-Fictionized Biography
The author is Frank Graham, and that should be recommendation enough. Frank Graham is sports columnist of the New York' Sun, a craftsman who knows his business of writin gand a reporter who never has consciously colored a fact. He knows and loves sports as he knew and loved Lou Gehrig.
Because Graham is the type of man he is, he has given us a memorial worthy of its subject. The book is bare of histronics, of embellishments and of groundless dramatic overtones. The story of Lou Gehrig needed no such fictionizing and Graham realized that.
The Gehrig stoy is familiar and already anecdotes of the big, personable first baseman have been woven into the tapestry of our folk lore. It is the story of an honest and gracious boy who somehow retained his homely virtues in the face of fame and riches and adulation. Baseball Atmosphere Galore
Gehrig, The All-American
It is a book which rises above the limitations of age, sex and the other factors which control popular appeal. It is as much a book for a woman of 25 as for a boy of 10 or a man of 60. That is because the qualities which Gehrig epitomized know no bounds and never grow out of style.
That is the way Graham tells it.
Some of his material you have read
The book is one in which you can hear the cheers in the vast expanse of Yankee Stadium, the sharp ping of a bat on a crisp afternoon, the genial horseplay of teams in spring training camps and the voice of a man who greeted a death sentence by telling his countless friends he was “the luckiest man on the face of this earth.”
before and some of it is new in the present telling. Old or new, it rekindles the spirit of the Gehrig we knew with varying degrees of intimacy—as a boy, as a baseball immortal and as a man for whom we still grieve.
It is a book which takes you into the steamy privacy of the dressing rooms, the dry heat of the pullman cars during the western swings in the summer, the football field at Columbia University and the Yankee Dugout during the grim days when Lou could scarcely bend over yet joked with the players and coaches much the same as always.
A Man Among Men
It is, in brief, a book which is neither mawkish nor pretty yet retains the spiritual delicacy that enabled Gehrig to keep a grin on his face to the end when he knew all the while he was doomed. It is of stuff such as this that great deeds are fostered and friends are made and kept. And it is stuff of which you find all too little in what we know as sport.
Read this book and you'll finish it a better person.

TONIGHT'S SCHEDULE
Newman I gave its most impressive performance in weeks last night as it cinched at least a tie for the Division II crown by trouncing a highly-regarded Sigma Phi Epsilon quintet 39 to 22. The winners led all the way, holding a 21 to 14 margin at halftime.
BY DON KEOWN
Leading the Newman attack was Junius Penny, former Lawrence High flash, who dumped in 13 points. The Club's veteran guard duo, Paul Hardman and Cliff Nordstrom, also had good nights, assisting Penny with the scoring chores and turning to stave off the desperate D.T.D. attack in fine defensive performance.
Alpha Kappa Psi managed to nose out an underdog Delta Tau Delta outfit 24 to 20 in a Division II game. The winners held a narrow 13 to 10 lead at halftime, and managed
Don Widner led the Sig Ep attack with 9 tallies. Also giving the Clubmen trouble was Larry Johnston, a Newman II ace last year. Johnston collected five points for the losers and turned in a fine floor game.

Finals will be held March 18.
A brilliant performance by Harold Wright, Alpha Chi Sigma ace, went for nought as he and his mates fell before Delta Chi 33 to 28 in the night's hardest fought contest. Wright kept his squad in the game with his fine rebounding and 19 points. Ray Lednicky and Wendell Wenstrand starred for the winners

Buescher scored on a set shot from the corner and Black batted in a tip-in. Buescher made the final field goal for Kansas with six minutes to play on a short tip-in. The count now stood at 42 to 22.
The final three free throws for Kansas were counted by Buescher, Evans, and Miller, as substitutes entered the Jayhawker line-up and the scoring slowed down considerably. The Aggies final points came when Dirks made one of three free shots awarded him on Sollenberger's personal foul and Buescher's technical foul. Bill Engelland entered the Wildcat line-up in time to make a field goal and a free throw to complete the scoring.
Betty Jean Hess, Shirley Irwin, and Lo Smith are back this year on Kappa's team, last year's winner. Peggy Davis will probably lead Theta's outstanding squad, while Chi Omega and Pi Phi have good prospects this year.

Ken Harden took scoring honors for the game, collecting four field goals for Alpha Kappa Psi. John Goheen and Carl Bomhlot were the auclei of the Delt's offense.
In a Division VI contest with a playoff berth at stake, the Phi Delta Theta "C" team topped the Phi Kappa Psi "D" squad by a 29 to 14 count. The contest was rough with fouls occurring as frequently as goals.
Jim Jenson, Phi Delt forward, was high-point man for the game with four field goals. Jo Fayne led the Phi Psi scoring.
John Moore Coop forfeited to the Hell Hounds in a Division III game to qualify the Hell Hounds for the playoffs.
Two top Division II squads will be seen in action tonight. Newman I, division leaders, will take on Delta Tau Delta at 9 o'clock, and Beta Theta Pi will take the court against Delta Upsilon at 10. Tonight's four contests mark the end of the regular season. Teams qualifying for the playoffs and the pairings will probably be announced Thursday.

The KANSAN Comments...
WSGA Must Reject Election Bill Or Lose Right of Self-Government
Members of W.S.G.A. last night considered a bill which, if accepted, would give direction of W.S.G.A. elections to the faculty.
The ostensible purpose of this bill is to thwart continuation of existing women's combines and prevent future formation of them. The bill, as it stands, will not accomplish that end, but will merely make them function negatively, rather than positively. Even if the bill did accomplish that purpose, there is some question as to the advisability of restricting combines. Some form of political organization is essential, and since the constitution of W.S. G.A. forbids formation of political parties, the combine system seems to be the only way out.
The bill proposes, that candidates for election shall be selected by a nominating committee then submitted to another committee made up of eight members of W.S.G.A. and six faculty members. The purpose of this latter committee is to select candidates and place them in nomination for proper offices. Needless to say, this is tantamount to giving the faculty complete control of the election. Six faculty members will have no difficulty in influencing at least three of the eight student members of the committee. With three members on the side of the faculty, there will be enough votes
to assure any decision favored by the faculty committee members. This is not to say that faculty advice is undesirable. The question is whether Hill women want to govern themselves or be governed by the faculty.
Such a plan cannot end combines. Where now houses A, B, and C combine with houses D and F to elect their candidates to office, under the proposed system they might still combine. The method would be different, but the result would be the same. For example, these five houses would agree not to vote for any candidate representing houses E, G, X, or Y.
A proposal that the slate be kept secret until the morning of the election was designed to prevent any organization before the election. Ideally, perhaps it would do that, but realistically it could never be successful. Women sufficiently interested in politics to form combines will be sufficiently versed in house membership to know affiliations of the candidates and to vote accordingly.
Because of the obvious inadequacies of this bill, it is of prime importance that W.S.G.A. reject it at the next meeting. With its passage will come the practical end to self-government for the women of K.U.

Food For Britain Or The U.S.?
Still from the American public comes the cry, "Why should we send Britain food when many of our own people are close to starvation?"
Besides the evident reasons that Britain's war is our war and that the English are more in need of food than are we, there is another answer to this question. It is that producing and supplying Britain with essential foods aids the health of the people of our nation. This is an apparent paradox in modern nutrition, but nevertheless, it is true. Increase in the production of necessary foods for Britain has helped to make the people of the United States more dietary conscious.
That almost one-third of the people in the United States are not obtaining the dietary essentials is proof of the need for improvement in nutritional standards. Strangely enough, it is the program for sending food to Britain that has made Americans realize that their diets are lacking in essential foods. In 1941, milk production in the United States was 117 billion pounds. This will be increased to 125 billion pounds in 1942. Not all of this increase will go to Britain, for our people will consume more than ever before.
Americans now realize that they have not had the best adapted diets. Of the first 2,000,-000 selectees examined, one-half were turned down because of poor physical conditions. One-third of the one-half were rejected because of malnutrition. The department of agriculture announced recently that only one-fourth of the American families have good diets, a few more than one-third have fair diets, and the rest have poor diets.
Sending food to Britain has and will increase our knowledge of the foods necessary for good nutrition and our production and consumption of these essentials.—R.B.
The Baltimore Sun makes a glowing contribution by informing an anxious populace that "Kung Hee Fot Toy" is Happy New Year in Chinese, and incidentally, that the year is 4639.
A rancher in Montana, when told that he had not earned enough to pay 1941 income tax, startled clerks by paying it anyhow. "It's great to live in America," he explained.

Last Thursday night, Theta Peggy Davis, trying a new effect, gave herself a very temporary hair-blacking, planning to remove it before her Friday night date. However, Bill Brownlee happened to see her in her new glory, was astounded, and plotted a smooth revenge. Friday night when he stopped by the Theta house for her, he appeared before her in a radiant ashblonde rinse, a concoction which he had whipped up at home out of a little corn starch.
Gamma Phi Diana Irvine and D.U. Jim Gillie are now going steady. It's a charming affair, but Jim prefers her to call him "Gillie" or "Doc." "Jim," it seems is a shade too personal. D.U. comment upon this formal state of affairs is loud and apt.
Questionable Quotes From Contemporary Cuties:
David Watermuldur: "I would like to say something, but everything I know has to be kept confidential for a few days."
One Engineer: "This is the one week out of the year when I get pursued by sorority women in exactly the manner I should like to be accustomed to the other 51 weeks."
Doris Twente: "The W.S.G.A. is a little upset just now."
Good News For Hill Men:
Bad News For Hill Women and Lawrence Florists:
Women's Pan-Hel yesterday voted to forbid the sending of corsages to sorority girls for spring parties this year. This heartbreaking little rule will be effective until the war is over. So if you have not got your first party orchid as yet, you'll just have to suspend weaseling operations for a few years.

Student Opinion--mer school, 043 of the banoteers plan to attend.
Vital Statistics Drawn From MSC Questionnaire
The breakdown of the vote by schools, and in some cases of the vote by men and women, while not particularly significant, is rather interesting. Separate tabulations of the men's and women's opinions were made in the Schools of Fine Arts, Business, Education, Pharmacy, the College, and the Graduate School. The engineers, medics, and lawyers were totaled without regard to sex. Women For First Aid
Yesterday's Daily Kansan carried the results of the War Defense Questionnaire distributed in classes last Friday, and showed that student opinion, as indicated by the 1,779 voters, was as follows: K.U. students are strongly in favor of first aid training, some form of physical education, and want to arrange student activities and organizations on a three-term basis instead of the present two-term set-up. They are, however, much opposed to the M.S.C. suggestion of a non-credit course in calisthenics to be given in afternoon hours. In regard to summer school,645 of the balloteers $ \textcircled{2} $
Women in the various schools showed the most interest in first aid training, casting a total of 519 favorable votes, with 122 against. This corresponds with the male vote of 437 for, 320 "again" (exclusive of the lawyers, medics, and engineers.) Of the 33 medical students expressing opinion, 27 approved of a first aid course. Lawyers and engineers voted thumbs down on the proposal, by a 7 to 12 and 140 to 164 count respectively. Greatest proportionate interest in the first aid work was shown by the 30 to 2 favorable vote cast by the women in the School of Education.
Down With Calisthenics
Seemingly a paradox is the favorable vote of 948 to 804 for some type of physical training and the opposition vote of 541 to 1234 against the proposal of two or three hours of calisthenics weekly. Since the questionnaire limited students to yes and no answers, the type of training advocated by those voting in favor of physical education must remain a matter of conjecture unless further research is conducted. Medical students rejected the idea of physical education 11 to 22, and showed even stronger opposition to calisthenics, 4 in favor, 29 against. The only groups favoring the proposed calisthenics were the lawyers, 12 to 8, and the men in the School of Education, 22 to 14. The embryo educators stood strongly in favor, 34 to 2, for some type of training. Engineers opposed calisthenics by a 92 to 217 count, but are in favor of physical education, 174 to 136. From the results as shown by this section of the questionnaire, it would seem wise to find out, in the light of the majority vote for training, what type of training is desired by students.
Interest in the three-term system for conducting campus organizations and activities is illustrated by the fact that every voting group gave the proposal a favorable vote; engineers, 216 to 88; medics, 20-13; College men, 311 to 170; College women, 329-159; lawyers, the highest proportional vote, 17 to 1; business students (total of men and women's vote) 105 to 60. The total female vote was 427 to 215 in favor, and the man (exclusive of lawyers, medics, and engineers) also approved, 490 to 256.
O.K. On Third Term
Slightly more than one of every three voters planned to attend summer school, 645 of the 1779 balloters checking this question affirmatively. The total attendance at the last summer session was 1032. Only hypothetical conclusions can be drawn, but figuring the poll as representative, attendance at this session should

Design Department Shows Finnish Glass Collection
A collection of more than 50 pieces of ceramics and glass from Finland will be shown here through the month of March. Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department of design announced today. The exhibition will be in room 320, Frank Strong hall.
This display consists of Karhula crystal, one of the best known Finnish products in America; the Kupittaan Savu pottery, and the Helsinki china from the Arabia ceramics works, the largest dinnerware factory in Europe.
Three kinds of Karhula glass are represented in the group; cut crystal, engraved, and blown glass, in bowls, decanters, stemware, and vases, not only in clear crystal but in shades of sea green, azure, and smoke tints. One of the outstanding Finnish designers, Goran Hongell, has achieved many of the cut crystal objects which show rhythm and a harmony of line and form.
Includes Jungell's Glass
Another well known designer is Richard Jungell, a Finnish master-craftman in the art of engraving and cutting glass, whose awareness of the pure transparency of Karhula glass has lead him to execute designs which serve to accent this quality. Recurring angles, straight lines, and large triangular areas are characteristic of his work. His designs in the hand-engraved pieces are arranged in patterns that complement each other so that in looking through the bowl or vase a complete picture with both foreground and background is created. A number of flower containers have been designed by Alvar Aalte, whose name is familiar in this country for his designs of buildings and furniture. For generations the country about Karhula has produced glass blowing families, many of whose sons are apprenticed at 14 to work in this industry.
Characteristic is the Kupittaan Savi pottery, with its colorful and imaginative decorations, consisting of wall plates, coasters, and ashtrays. The wall plates are of jade green, in attractive designs of white or all-over patterns; these may also be used for large sandwich trays or for hors d'oeuvres.
Platina Pattern in Pastels
"Platina" is one of the Arabian dinnerware patterns in the pure translucent china-ivory body, decorated with fine lines of platinum and pink, which forms a combination of distinctive daintiness.
Two child's sets, of Helsinki fainence, comprising a cereal dish, plate, and cup, with blue or red animal decorations and inscriptions representing (in Finnish) what the children imagine the animals say, are also included in the collection. The Arabian factory is also represented by the "Green Thistle" design, worked in monotone green which harmonizes equally well in either old or new settings.
Arrived by Circuitous Route
As a matter of interest, it may not be amiss to state that this particular collection traveled over a circuitous route of 5,500 miles. Originally dispatched from Helsinki in March, 1940, from Helsinki via the Baltic, the Skaggerack and the North Atlantic, is was ice-bound on the Baltic during the most severe winter on record. By the time the small Finnish steamer was loose there were naval engagements on the Skaggerack because of the invasion of Norway, and the ship eventually nosed its way back to Finland. The consignment was unloaded in Helsinki, where it remained until the autumn of 1941, when the northern route from Petsamo was established.
The exhibition is being circulated by Blanche A. Byerley of Wilton, Conn.
Indians Swear Vengeance on Japs
Albuquerque, N. M. (UP)—The peaceful Jemex Indians, a tribe of farmers and cattle-raisers, have gone on the warpath against Japan to avenge the death of a white friend.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor at first had no effect on Indians who live in the green valleys and red rock canyons of the Jemez country.
It was a different story when they learned that Lieut. William Schick, formerly attached to the Army Air base here and a friend of the Jemez tribe, was a casualty at Pearl Harbor.
The elders of the mountain tribe called a council of war and proclaimed the tribe at war with the Japs.
Elk Moutain, war captain of the tribe, came to the air base to tell the army of the tribe's decision. Officers showed him the big bombers, and he learned that the "White Father" is avenging the death of the Indians' friend. Elk Mountain went back home and ordered the tribe to work harder and raise more sheep and cattle to help win the war.
Marshall Promoted to Rank Of Major in U.S. Army
Prof. T. H. Marshall, head of the department of chemical engineering, who has been on leave since the spring semester last year, has recently been promoted to the rank of major in the chemical warfare division of the U.S. Navy.
Major Marshall is stationed at Edgewood arsenal, near Baltimore, Md., where he is chief of the arsenal's design department.

Washington, March 4.—(UP)—Franklin D. Roosevelt, war President of the United States, today completed nine years in the White House.
The fight for human rights throughout the world is now the all-absorbing occupation of President Roosevelt, just as on March 4, 1933, when he was first inaugurated, the economic im
Tenth Year Begins
provement of the masses of his own country was the dominating theme.
Since the United States has the presidential system of government, with fixed terms of office, Roosevelt does not need periodically to go before Congress for a vote of confidence, as does his colleague, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of England.
Nobody in history has been President of the United States as long as Roosevelt. He shattered all precedents in 1940 when he ran for a third term, and defeated the Republican candidate, Wendell L. Willkie, by 449 to 62 electoral votes. Until then it was the unwritten tradition that no President should serve more than two terms of four years each, in accordance with the precedent set by the first President, George Washington.
The "war powers" which he enjoys under the Constitution and the many laws and proclamations are so vast that nobody really knows how powerful he really is.
Roosevelt's popularity here and abroad continues to be very high, his health is good, and there's every reason to believe he will serve out his three full terms. In fact, there are some Republicans who are worried over the possibility that in 1944 he may feel impelled to break another precedent, and seek the Democratic nomination for the fourth time.
Under the spirit of "war unity" now prevailing, Congress is inclined to grant Roosevelt all he needs in the line of appropriations and supplementary legislation connected with the war effort. However, Congressmen still make a show of maintaining their independence when dealing with regional issues, or questions or agriculture, rivers and power.
As he begins his tenth year in office, Roosevelt is more and more occupying the role of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States. He is the supreme director of the United States war effort, and not only deals with the large scale aspects of it, but occupies himself with much detailed matter.
Gets Congress' Support
For President
The two-party system of government is being maintained, and Republicans expect to wage strong contests for many seats in the House of Representatives and some in the Senate in the legislative elections of November. Nevertheless, there is a tendency to "rally around the President," and reduce the intensity of political divisions which normally prevailed.
Roosevelt's career, as a man who strongly fought for social reforms, improved living conditions for the masses, and then became leader in a war against the totalitarian states, undoubtedly will give him a place in history beside the great Presidents of the past-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson.
One of "Great" Presidents
The fortunes of war, and the manner in which the peace is settled, will naturally have a profound effect on the degree of importance which will be ascribed to his occupancy of the Presidency.

Attendance at the second four-week session should be about 700 (370 of the 1779 voters plan to attend; the poll was circulated to about one-half the student body; therefore, using the same ratio, attendance should be slightly over 700.) Of the 1779 voters, 595 announced their intention of coming to the regular eight-week summer courses.

Sheean Says Allies Should Invade 'Now'
The failure of the Allied Forces to invade the continent of Europe while Germany is heavily engaged with the Russians in the East may prove fatal to their cause, according to Vincent Sheean, author and lecturer, who recently returned from a lengthy visit to the British Isles. Mr. Sheean will be at the University on Tuesday, March 10, to speak to the Community Lecture Course followers.
"Now is the time," Mr. Sheean said, "to make decisive action against the Nazis-if not a full-fledged invasion, at least a series of well-planned expeditions $ ^{*} $
of well-planned expeditions into the continent to relieve the pressure on Russia. The Russians Must Win
"If the Russians fail," Mr. Sheen warned, "the war will be virtually lost. The world will practically be Hitler's for the asking. Who will be able to stop him?"
He added that the "Russians are putting on a magnificent show but they can't hold out forever without very substantial help from us and from the British, including the diversion of some of the Nazi troops to the western front."
Asked why the British did not attempt an invasion of the continent, Mr. Sheane replied that delay was caused by a "really terrible lack of tanks, anti-tank guns and heavy artillery. We must not forget," he continued, "that the British lost the bulk of their heavy armaments in the debacle before Dunkirk."
Islanders Crave Invasion
He added, however, that the British people and the soldiers for the most part are clamoring for invasion. "There are," he said, "4,000,000 men in uniform in England who are doing nothing but marching and oiling their guns. They want action. But those in command say 'no.' They want tanks and heavy artillery before they attempt an invasion. The men themselves, and especially the Canadians, are wild to invade, even if it is only a minor invasion."
W.S.G.A. ELECTION--proposed measure did most of the talking at the meeting. The infrequent rebuttals of women who favored the plan stressed a desire on their part to eliminate combines, and to see that elections call forth women interested in voting for its true worth, and not for "an organized group which directs votes with little regard for individual or house loyalty."
(continued from page one) situation which has become almost an impasse, the council last night accepted, but did not vote upon, a plan from committee to provide for the election set-up.
Free discussion following presentation of the plan brought to light that one purpose of the plan was to curb combines, known to exist in the women's ranks. The plan's stipulation that the slate of names be kept secret until election morn caused violent comment. Purpose of such a provision would be to avoid political juggling between the time candidates were announced and the election.
One member termed the "entire procedure non-representative," claimed that the proposed plan would force the independent woman to take an active part "whether she wants to or not."
Other objections were to the presence of faculty members on the nominating committee, and to the attempt of the plan to curb organization. It was pointed out that "political organization is healthy." Declares Combines Helpful
Adopting the slogan "Limit Yet Legalize" in referring to the combines, a council member declared that having organized slates representing particular actions would serve to allocate responsibility.
Plan's Supporters Quiet
On the whole, however, those in opposition to the adoption of the
So much time was spent in discussion that some members had to leave, and the measure was shelved until the council's next regular meeting. March 10.

Special terms will be offered in the School of Law and the School of Medicine. A ten-week term and a five-week term will be offered by the school of Law. The ten-week term opens June 2 and closes Aug. 8; the second term opens Aug. 10 and closes Sept. 12.
In the School of Medicine, courses leading to medical degrees in different ways will be offered, some five weeks in length, some eight, and some twelve.
The preliminary announcement bulletin gives an estimate of the summer session fees for the various schools and departments. Although a list of the courses offered is not given in the bulletin, student may find out specific information on classes and courses from the heads of the different department or from the Office of the Summer Sessions. The bulletins are being mailed to high
Names Deadline For Marine Applications
James K. Hitt, assistant registrar, announced this morning that men desiring to fill out applications for the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve are to come to his office before March 15.
After Hitt leaves to report for duty as a first lieutenant in the coast artillery, applicants will see Dr. Laurence Woodruff, who will be the new assistant registrar.
The applications may be filled out here, but the applicant must go to Kansas City to complete enlistment. Hitt stated.
Woman Suggests Snakes as Pets
Rowley, Mass. (UP)—The ideal pets, says Miss Isabelle Hoopes, are neither goldfish, nor cats, nor dogs, nor rabbits, but—snakes!
She always has one or two snakes around the house, her current favorite being one she refers to affectionately as "Indigo."
"They make good house pets because they are so clean and quiet," says Miss Hoopes, whose keen interest in reptiles stems from her zoology courses at Radcliffe College 20 years ago.
"Children are not afraid of snakes naturally," she says. "Whatever prejudice they have, they have acquired."
Just a word of warning, however, if you decide on snakes for pets. She says that two snakes of approximately the same size will live happily together, but that if you put a little snake and a big snake together, at the end of the day you will have one slightly bigger big snake.

America's Culture Her Own One Student's Idea
There is much discordant opinion among those who regard themselves as authorities on the merits of American culture. Indeed, there are those who go so far as to say that America has little or no culture which she can call her own. I am among the many, however, who believe that out of the great "melting pot" of races, nationalities, and cultures has come a new nationality with an original culture. This viewpoint has just recently been reinforced in my mind by what may seem to many only a trivial matter, but what nevertheless seems significant to me.
watch for "ROXY HART"
The following theme was written by Floyd H. Krehbiel last semester for his freshman rhetoric class.
Several evenings ago in Hoch Auditorium where the new university students met for convocation exercises we sang a number of uniiversity songs. Even though the tunes may seem insignificant and entirely undeserving of recognition as "cultural" to many people, to me they are as integral a part of the real American culture as our own peculiar type of humor, art, literature, food or architecture. In answer to this point of view the "No-Native-American-Culturist" might imply that we have again been so unoriginal as to fashion even our college songs on the old student ditties of decades past, since "Gaudeamus Igitur" was written long before "Tm a Jayhawk." In fact, he might pursue his analogy even further and say that a deeper similarity exists because both are drinking songs." And, in consideration of all the empty glassware I have seen strewn around the stadium after football games, I would hesitate to take issue with him here.
But seriously, I regard these songs

Here, then, are two different examples of typical college songs, the underlying qualities of which I believe to be peculiar to America, as well as a definite part of her culture. Thus it seems to me that as long as the strains of the "Crimson and Blue" and "Tm a Jayhawk' can be heard drifting over Mt.

Plan to Train Senior Women For Industry
The importance of women in industry as a vital factor in winning the war was emphasized today with announcement by Guy V. Keeler, director of the Engineering Science Management Defense Training program in this area, that classes in mechanical drawing, open especially to second semester senior women, would begin next week.
The courses, sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education and administered under the supervision of the Extension Division, will deal with mechanical drawing, lettering and blueprints.
Fear Shortage of Draftsmen
The classes are being started at the suggestion of government officials who are concerned with the shortage of draftsmen occasioned by men entering military and naval service as well as defense industries.
While second semester senior women, who would be available for positions in industry immediately after graduation this spring, are being encouraged to enroll for the training, the courses are open both to men and women other than college students who possess the necessary qualifications, and who are not likely to be subject to military service in the immediate future. Preliminary requirements for the work are two years of high school mathematics and one year of high school science, or equivalent.
Only Graduating Seniors Eligible
No college students other than second semester seniors are eligible to take the course, Keeler said. Persons out of college, however, not subject to immediate military service, are urged to enroll. Classes have already been set up or are be-

Hear Jensen Tonight In 'World-At-War'
F. B. Jensen, assistant professor of economics, will speak tonight at the fifth meeting of the World at War class in Fraser theater. His topic will be, "The Conflict of Economic Systems."
The lecture, which will begin at 7:30 o'clock, will aim at totalitarianism versus private capitalism and the resulting influences they bear on international trade in the world economy.
Mr. Jensen was in Germany and Russia in 1939, immediately preceding the outbreak of war in September of that year. Highlights of the talk will include a discussion of German economic methods employed to further their interests, and just what the Nazis intend to do should they win the war. Of major importance should be the speaker's opinion on what course of action the United States will pursue if it emerges victoriously from the struggle.

Concrete Poured For Footings Of M.I. Building
Concrete footings are being poured on the shale as foundation for the Mineral Industries building, Eugene A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering, revealed today.
The reinforcing steel for floors and structural beams has arrived, and the plywood forms used to control the shape of floor and walls are completed, Stephenson said. Work on the building began Dec. 12, and the only cessation in operation was a 10-day stop the early part of January, caused by snow.
The building is being constructed from the limestone of old Snow hall, stored on the campus since that building was replaced by new Snow hall. Two main entrances to the building will face east and west.
J. C. Bell, superintendent of construction, supplied information concerning the building itself. It will be 122 by 137 feet and contain two stories and a basement. A service tunnel 6 by 173 feet will connect this basement with two doors at the base of the flight of steps. This tunnel will be used for heating, electricity, and water.
The Mineral Industries building is reached from Marvin hall by a flight of 24 steps cut down through the embankment at the rear of the engineering building.
Discuss Pan-Americanism
Goncalves Sees Improvement In Hemisphere Ties
Cecilia Gonecalves, exchange student from Rio de Janeiro believes that the attitude of the people of the United States to ward the people of her country is changing. "They are looking at us in a more friendly way now." Cecilia said.
"I am more inclined to believe that now more educated persons visit South America, and they realize that they depend upon us as we depend upon them. It's better to have a mutual_friendship," she added.
Americans formerly had a mistaken impression of the average North American.
Interviewed in connection with the inter-American relations speech contest held last night, which has heightened campus interest in Pan-Americanism, Cecilia asserted that many South American's formally had a mi
Of late the attitudes of both peoples have changed, however. Cecilia thinks that Brazil, in becoming a more progressive country, has merited and received more friendly treatment from the U. S.
At the inter-American relations speaking contest sponsored by Forums board, Cecilia spoke on the subject, "South America Looks at F. D. R."
Cecilia's idea of us changed very much when she entered the University. She partly blames the movies in South America for her former feelings. She was pleasantly surprised to find that we are a romantic people in our viewpoints, and are more traditional than she expected.
Cecilia plans to return to Brazil in June and will teach for a limited time. With six months more schooling in South America she may become a lawyer.
(continued to page eight)
May Become Lawyer
The dark-eyed senorita explained that North Americans who used to visit South America were mostly of a lower class. They acted very superior toward her people and drank a lot. South Americans were not angered, only amused. They laughed and joked about their visitors.
If she does not return to the University in the fall, Cecilia plans to come back to visit after the war is over.
Vincent Sheean Sure Of Victory for Allies
Because Japanese are operating much nearer their bases than either the Americans or the British, they the likely to win some of the first battles of the war and the American public "must be steady against the possible impact of bad news," Sheean declares.
"The Japanese can concentrate large numbers of airplanes and men at any given point in a hurry; we cannot do so at present." Sheaen points out. "They have new and important bases now in Thailand from which to strike at Malaya and
Though they may win "some immediate and temporary successes" the Japanese have not "a ghostly chance of winning the war."
So reported Vincent Sheean, famed American foreign correspondent and veteran military and political observer, upon his return to the United States from a trip throughout the Far East and the South Pacific on the eve of the Japanese attack upon Pearl Harbor.
Prepare for Bad News
Shean, who will speak here next Tuesday, flew to Auckland, New Zealand, in late September. He went on to Sydney, Batavia, Singapore, Bangkok, Chungking, and Hong Kong, returning home via the Philippines, Guam, Wake, Midway, and Hawaii. His lecture, "A War Commentary," will deal with latest war developments.

Three Rank Tops in Forums Speech Contest
Grier Stewart, college senior; John Waggoner, college junior; and Merril Peterson, college junior, were chosen as the three top ranking speakers in the warm-up contest in the Memorial Union building last night. They will represent the University in the district extempore discussion meeting March 11. Each of the three winners was awarded $5.
Speaking on our goodwill relationship with South America, Stewart pointed out that all the peoples of South America must realize the importance of the fact that we all work for the same thing. He believes we must work toward hemisphere solidarity, and that it must be done presently.
A Change of Policy
Waggoner took one of the three contest prizes with his discussion of the United States' position with the South American countries before and after Teddy Roosevelt's time. Our policy has changed, Waggoner explained, from the Colossus of the North in which we snubbed the South American countries, to the position of depending on the friendship of the countries which we previously invaded and exploited economically.
The Economic Principle
Peterson's discussion emphasized that before we can hope to promote an international understanding among the countries, we must construct an economic basis for democracy. South American wages are low, Peterson said, and the prices of commodities are too high.
This change came with the administration of Teddy Roosevelt, Waggoner declared. The speaker also pointed out that the United States was responsible for the success or failure of Pan-Americanism. The Economic Principle
Peterson belives we should understand the development in these countries, promote economic basis for democracy by trade, and buy more from countries which do not have a balance of trade.

Picture Industry Bets on Comedies
Hollywood —(UP)— The motion picture industry is betting heavily on comedy for 1942.
The moviegoing public, it hopes, wants more humor than ever before and the producers are basing their plans on that thesis.
Already there are enough comedies ready for release or in production to permit every theater in the country to schedule more laugh-getting pictures than during any previous year.
Various slogans such as "Keep 'Em Flying" have been adapted in Hollywood to "Keep 'Em Laughing."
Heretofore the espionage theme has been treated with often-wearlsome solemnity. Even that is coming in for light treatment in one of the new pictures.
It is Paramount's "My Favorite Blonde" and all Bob Hope fans will understand immediately why this one won't be on the serious side.
Veronica Lake Is "Witch"
Producer-writer-director Preston Sturges is starting work on another which promises laughs, "The Palm Beach Story," starring Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor and Rudy Vallée.
Hope's chief foil in this one is blonde Madeleine Carroll.
Rosalind Russell and Fred Mac-Murray promise there will be no sadness in "Take a Letter. Darling." Bing Crosby is scheduled to star in the Irving Berlin musical, "Holiday Inn," in addition to "The Road to Morocco."
Dorothy Lamour will display both figure and comedy talents in "The Fleet's In," and Veronica Lake gets another shot at comedy in "I Married a Witch." She's the witch.

The bride who is from K. C., Mo, was graduated from the University in 1940. She is a member of Pi Beta Phi, and while in school was a member of the French Club, Women's Athletic Association and during her last year reigned as homecoming queen.
Amerine formerly of Lawrence and who was graduated from the University with an A.B. degree last year, was a varsity letter man and a member of the K-Club. He is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Second Alumni Roundup to Be Held March 15
The second alumni round-up this year will be March 15, Fred Ellsworth, executive secretary of the Alumni association, announced today.
Wyandotte, Johnson, Miami, Osage, and Franklin counties will be the guest counties for this alumni get-together. Douglas county and faculty members also are among the invited guests.
The first of the year's round-ups was held on Nov. 9, with the northeastern Kansas counties as special guests. There were 300 alumni present.
Wedell To Speak
The coming round-up will officially begin with a reception to be held at the Memorial Union building at 3 p.m. The reception will be followed by a barbecue in the Union cafeteria at 6 p.m.
At 7.30 p.m. Chancellor Deane W. Malott, and Alumni association president, Hugo T. Wedell, Topeka, will give short talks to the visiting alumni. The University A Cappella choir and the Moncrieff singers, directed by Mrs. Alice Moncrieff, professor of voice, will sing.
Coach Wayne Replogle, formerly a ranger in Yellowstone national park, will give an illustrated nature talk for the children of the alumni guests at 7:30 p.m.
Interests Group in Charge
These Alumni roundups are managed by the University Alumni association's interests committee. New chairman of the committee is Sam Anderson, German language instructor.
The other members of the committee are Miss Florence Black, professor of mathematics; Miss Olga Hoesley, professor of home economics; J. O. Jones, professor of applied mechanics; Fred S. Montgory, secretary of the bureau of visual education; J. Allen Reese, dean of the school of Pharmacy; and Coach Wayne Replogle.
Journalism Survey Gets Quick Results
Started only a week ago, a survey of Kansas high school journalism, which the University department of journalism is conducting, has already brought results. Seventy-five schools have filled out and returned questionnaires which were mailed to them a week ago, Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department, announced today. Many schools have sent sample copies of yearbooks and newspapers.
The information brought in by the questionnaires and the yearbooks and newspapers will be carefully studied. When the survey is completed, the information will be tabulated and evaluated, organized into a digest, and a copy of the digest sent to each high school.
The department hopes, through the survey, to establish a basis for comparison and study of what is being done in Kansas high schools in the journalism field. With the digest the department will be better able to answer requests for advice, since it will know what each school is doing and what its problems are.
Canada Will Subsidize Students
Montreal, Canada — (ACP)— Canadian students who quit their classrooms to join the dominion's armed forces will be able to complete their studies at government expense after the war is over.
This is the substance of a recent federal order. Under its provisions discharges, whether or not they have had previous college or university training will, if they apply within 15 months of their discharge and have their course of study approved by the minister of pensions and national health, have their fees paid and in addition receive a weekly subsidy of $9 for unmarried students and $13 for married students.
Entertains County Medical Society
Members of the Watkins Memorial hospital staff entertained the Douglas County Medical Society last night in the hospital lecture room. A paper, "Coarctation of the Aorta" was read to the physicians by Dr. Ronald Vetter, member of the Watkins staff.
After the paper had been read the doctors discussed the subject. Dr. Galen M. Tice, consultant radiologist from the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, and Dr. E. D. Liddy of Lawrence participated in the discussion.
Refreshments were served after the discussion and the regular business meeting was held.
Gophers Are Crossed Up As Bierman Joins Foe
Washington, March 5 - (UP)—Maj. Bernard H. Bierman of the U.S. Marine corps—known to the football fans as Bernie—has been given a coaching assignment on the campus of the University of Iowa which was his rival when he coached the Minnesota Gophers,
The navy department announced yesterday that the former Minnesota football coach has been named athletic director and head football coach of the navy's newly-established pre-flight training school at the University of Iowa.
Remodel Office Of Education
The office of the School of Education in room 103, Fraser hall, is being remodeled to improve the filling space and lighting arrangement. Double wooden doors between the office of George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, and the outer education office have been replaced with a glass and wooden paneled partition and door.
Book cases in Dean Smith's office have been rearranged, and new lighting fixtures have been installed in both offices. In the outer office new shelves and cabinets are being placed around the room, and special cases for the mimeographing machine and paper supply are being made.
George M. Beal, professor of architecture, Bill Wilson, sophomore engineer, and Hampton White, senior engineer, suggested the architectural changes. Gilman Harding, senior engineer, was consulted for suggestions in the change of light fixtures.
Trailers Designed To Supplement Defense Housing
Flint, Mich. —(UP)— Flint, the former automobile city now turning out armaments for the nation's war effort, has turned to a new product designed to help meet industry's critical housing problem.
Outwardly, the new product is a regulation house trailer, but in reality it is an expandable home that can be transformed into living quarters for four persons.
Designed by William B. Stout of Dearborn, Mich., the trailer occupies normal clearance space on the highways. With its wheels dismounted, it can be transformed into a home in 30 minutes with the aid of sliding panels and other ingenious contrivances.
When set up as a home, the trailer contains three sleeping compartments, two wardrobes, a folding dineette with table and four chairs, cook - stove, refrigerator, electric lights and oil heat.
After the game tomorrow night attend the Jayhawker Varsity.

Weak Beer, Bad Weather No Germans
London, March 5 — (UP)— Hundreds of newly arrived American troops complained today, after their first day in London, that the beer was weak, the weather was bad, and that there were no German air raids to liven things up.
They were all eager for action on the theory that the sooner they had a crack at the Germans the sooner they could go back home.

Many of the soldiers, here as a headquarters detachment, spent last evening in the west end night club area, mingling with warmly welcoming crowds, going to the movies, and sampling the British beer.
Pvt. Gerry Claeson, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was surprised that many Londoners did not bother to carry gas masks. "We thought things would be much grimmer here," he said. "It's hard to believe there is a war on. Everybody seems unconcerned."
The boys were impressed by the black-out, however. They attracted attention when a group of them went into the Picadilly subway station in the heart of the west end. "There's a light down here," one of them said. "We want to get out of the black-out."
Among the troops were seletees from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Some were military police, who started worrying because they thought they might have to direct traffic sometime in Great Britain, where vehicles keep to the left instead of the right.

(In peace time, American-made silk stockings were universally popular in Britain.)
The student team will conduct a newspaper clinic, analyzing and commenting on the Kansas press in open discussion. "As far as we know, this experiment is a new idea. If it succeeds, a similar event might be included in the program of the national convention of the Federation of Press Women, which is to be held in Topeka this spring," Beth said.
Students in the University department of journalism have been invited to attend the meeting of the Kansas press women in Topeka at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Eimer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department, said that a team of five seniors will be sent to the meeting.
Journalists Go To Topeka Meet
Mary Frances McAnaw, president of Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary professional journalistic fraternity for women, is in charge of arrangements for the trip. Other college seniors making the trip are Betty Abels, Heidi Viets, Stan Stauffer, and Kenneth Jackson. Mr. Beth will go with the students.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
With new basketball tournaments starting daily and hundreds more due to get underway within a few days, the line-ups for the Western and Eastern play-offs of the N.C.A.A. are becoming more definite.
East of the Mississippi two teams have already been definitely selected. Illinois, winner of the Big Ten, was picked automatically by K. L. "Tug" Wilson, director of athletics at Northwestern and supervisor of the Fourth District, as that district's representative.
ILLINOIS, PENN STATE, DARTMOUTH AND KENTUCKY
The Illini won the title Saturday night in their runaway tilt, 63 to 49, against Northwestern before 18,931 fans in Chicago. This crowd was the largest ever to witness a collegiate basketball game. Monday night, however, Illinois was tripped by Iowa 46 to 32 to insure a second place finish for the Hawkeye. This game also raised the judge of the Jayhawks considerable. During the mid-semester cage trip the Kansans knocked off Iowa at Iowa City 53 to 51 in a rough and tumble match. This indicates an extremely favorable comparison of the Kansas and Illinois cage teams and boosts the Jayhawks chances of competing as the Fifth District representative without a play-off with a Missouri Valley team (providing, of course, Kansas defeats missouri tomorrow night).
ILLINOIS PENN STATE. DARTMOUTH AND KENTUCKY
The other team already selected is Pennsylvania State. The Nittany Lions will represent the Second District and edged out West Virginia in the final tabulations. The Penn State cagers have won 16 games and lost 2 this season. The First District has not officially announced its selection but Dartmouth appears to have the inside track. The Indians sidetracked their roughest competition last weekend when they dumped Cornell 68 to 53. Monday night they moved serenely on in their effort to regain their 1941 honors of Eastern Intercollegiate champion and that district's N.C.A.A. quintet by downing Columbia 46 to 43. Princeton has an outside chance to tie Dartmouth but it is extremely doubtful.
In the third District there is still a tournament to be played before any official action will be forthcoming. Tennessee won the Southeastern Conference but Kentucky won that conference's tournament and this makes them the outstanding choice. In the Southern Conference Duke won the regular season title and their tournament starts today. Since Duke won the conference by a good four games the Blue Devils should experience little trouble in taking the tournament. The decision will then rest between Duke and Kentucky as the team to represent the huge Dixieland area. Present prospects are that Adolph Rupp's Kentucky crew will get the nod. Last year North Carolina entered the competition when all other teams refused the invitation.
COLORADO NOT INVINCIBLE BUT MIGHTY RUGGED
West of the Mississippi there are also two teams that have been selected. Rice Institute gained the rating in the Sixth District when Arkansas and West Texas State Teachers both withdrew any claims they had to participation. Rice and Arkansas tied for the title in the Southwest Conference but Coach Glen Rose of the Razorbacks did not ask for a play-off because his team had been weakened at the tail-end of the season by sickness, injuries, and players going into defense organizations. West Texas automatically dropped out when they accepted a bid to participate in the Invitational Tournament in Madison Square Garden at New York.
Colorado has been selected as the representative of the Seventh District after winning the Big Seven Conference. The Buffalooes won their first 10 games but lost Tuesday night to Wyoming at Laramie 40 to 39. This marked their second loss of the season and their first intercollegiate loss of the year. Their other loss was to the Denver Legion A.A.U. squad. The Buffers have one game with Utah State Saturday at Logan remaining on their schedule but at present have a two-game advantage of Wyoming and Brigham Young and thus could not be dislodged from their top-ranking berth.
In the Eighth District there remains a play-off between Oregon State and Stanford to determine that district's representative. Oregon State won the Northern Division with a record of 11 wins and 5 losses. University of Washington finished second with 10 victories and 6 defeats and Washington State, last year's Western N.C.A.A. champion, finished a game farther back in third place.
Stanford clinched the title in the Southern Division by defeating Southern California twice last weekend. This places the Indians four full games ahead of the Trojans with only two games remaining on the Stanford schedule. The play-off between Oregon State and Stanford has been set for March 13 and 14 at Palo Alto with a third game, if necessary, being played the 16th.
KANSAS NEEDS ONE WIN, AND HOW!
In the local area, the Fifth District, the biggest confusion exists. At present four teams are technically in the running to enter the play-offs at Kan- (continued to page seven)
Defeat Will End Season For Kansas
Final Game Tomorrow
After defeating Kansas State at Manhattan Tuesday night by a 45 to 26 score, the Jayhawks crept within one-half game of Bruce Drake's Sooners and need only a win tomorrow to snare their tenth title, undisputed or tied, in the fourteen years of Big Six history.
The University of Kansas Jayhawkers close their regular cage season here tomorrow night with but one purpose in mind and that is to trounce the Missouri Tigers and thus earn a tie for the Big Six title with Oklahoma.
More than just the Big Six title will be decided in the Missouri fray.

however. The right to represent the conference in a play-off with the Missouri Valley champion to determine the Fifth District's N.C.A.A. representative at Kansas City will also be at stake.
If Kansas wins, the Jayhawkers are assured of the Big Six bid to continue in post-season games. Although Oklahoma and Kansas will be tied the Kansans will receive the nod

For these two players were the only opponents to be honored with every first team vote of the Jayhawkers. "Ug" Roberts of Oklahoma was a close competitor, however, for he snagged 10 first team votes and one second team nomination.
To you fans who think that you know the five best players in the Big Six that have opposed Kansas this season here's your chance to see just how close you come to being correct. At least, you can compare your "picks" with those of 11 varsity Jayhawkers who made their first and second team selections and then had the results tabulated.

because of their better offensive-defensive ratio which, under Big Six rules, decides the ranking team. Gregg Will Be Tough
The Missouri squad which will face the Jayhawks has undergone considerable change since the first meeting of these two teams this season. In that game the Kansans looked impressive as they ran up a 48 to 34 score. Since then, however, George Edwards has regained the services of two forward lettermen from last year, Captain Herbie Gregg and Keith Bangert, and has lost lettermen George Evans and George Constantz.
The Tigers have won two games this season and unless they nip the Jayhawks tomorrow night they will wind up in the same spot as last year.

Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, wily Kansas coach, is not overlooking the potentialities of the Bengal team. It was to Missouri that Iowa State lost its first Big Six game and started on the downward track. And after Saturday's heart-breaking, last second, one-point loss to Nebraska the Tigers will be in a fighting mood.
This game affords a similar set-up to the contest three years ago when Missouri and Kansas were fighting for the Big Six crown and the Tigers swamped the Jayhawks, 55-30, to tie Oklahoma for the title and relegate the Kansans to third place. Tomorrow night Kansas will try to turn the tables, taking the title and pushing Missouri into the cellar.

Spring Workouts In Football Start
Spring football practice for Jayhawker gridders will get underway officially at 4:00 o'clock Monday afternoon, Vic Hurt, assistant varsity coach, announced today.
Spring practice is limited to six weeks by a Big Six ruling and this will find the last practice being held the day before the Kansas Relays. University-Wide Call for Players
Players may start checking out suits at 3:00 p.m. and limbring-up exercises will be conducted until the entire squad is suited up for workouts an hour later.
Forty-two boys who have played football, either freshman or varsity ball, will be eligible for practice but Hurt is not limiting the squad to this number.
Instead, Coaches Gwinn Henry and Hurt are anxious that every student in the University who would like to check out a football suit do so Monday. Everyone is welcome and due to the emphasis which the government has been placing on physical education recently, the coaching staff is expecting an increased number of candidates for the team.
After the first week of conditioning exercises, scrimage will be held three times a week. As an added attraction, a regulation game will be played each week, probably on Friday and Saturday, with all members checking out suits getting to play. All students are welcome to attend any practice or game without any charge.
Hall and Ulrich To Coach
The games will be played in the stadium on dry days and if the turf is muddy the games will be staged on the practice fields. To conclude the spring practice, a final intrasquad game will be held in the stadium under Big Six game conditions.
Teptative arrangements have been made to have Ed Hall and Hub Ulrich assist with the coaching during spring practice. Both of these appointments are subject to the approval of the finance committee. Hall will be able to aid the coaching staff only for two and one-half weeks since he is subject to call March 25 under Gene Tunney's Navy Physical Education program.
With the addition of these two recent Jayhawker grid stars the
coaching staff consists of Head Coach Gwinn Henry, Assistant Coach Vic Hurt, Freshman Coach Bill Replogle, and assistants Ed Hall and Hub Ulrich.
There will be sufficient equipment at the stadium for everyone to obtain a complete uniform and the five-man coaching staff will give personal instruction to all players reporting.
Depleted Squad Will Give Chances "No doubt there are many students in school," Hurt said, "who are capable of making the team but who never thought they could. We want all of these to come out because next year will give a perfect

opportunity for everyone to play since many of the present squadmen may be called to service or will enlist before next fall."
"The government has been emphasizing physical education in its campaign to prepare men for combat service but has laid particular stress upon competitive sports, Hurt said. "Calisthenics are good," Hurt remarked, "but competitive sports not only build muscles but also develop leadership, quick - thinking, and spirit which are all extremely im-

Swim Preliminaries To Be Held the 24th
Preliminaries for the Inter-Organization Swimming meet will be held at 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 24, in Robinson gym, Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of intramural sports, announced today. The meet finals will then be run off the following Thursday, he added.
Defending champions will be the Phi Gamma Delta team members who took the affair last year with a total of 49 points. Second place went to the Newman club with 39 points, with Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon following in that order.
Each organization is allowed to enter three men in each of the eight events scheduled. No one man can enter more than three events. All men are eligible who have not earned a letter in swimming at a four year college, or are not squad members of another varsity sport in season at the time of the meet.

portant in actual combat."
Men in the armed forces of the country at the present time who have participated in competitive athletics are getting definite advantages from their superior officers, Hurt said, because the latter realize their capabilities under fire.
"Football next fall should be interesting," Hurt commented, "because it will be impossible to select a team this spring and be sure that the same line-up will report next fall. Quick adjustments will be necessary on both the players' and the coaches' part. Since Young America is in a fighting mood due to the present conditions I fully expect that football next fall will be just a little tougher and probably a little rougher."

Intramural playoff activities will be launched tonight with the class "C" team semi-finals scheduled for play.

Rans Bennett and John Fletcher tied for scoring honors with ten points each, and Harlan Altman, scrappy guard, tuned in one of the finest demonstrations of ball handling of the year. However, it was Fred Eberhardt, the Beta's track ace, who was the hero of the game in the eyes of the crowd.

With a quartette on the sidelines moaning the marching song of the Marines, Eberhardt proceeded to run up two fouls in short order.

Prior to the game the former Lawrence high star held a 12.3 points per game average.
John Moore Coop could not hold a narrow first half lead, and fell before the Union Fountaineers 29 to 24. The losers were on top 10 to 9 going into the second half.
Jim Gillispie, high-scoring Fountaineer forward, racked up 17 points to lead the scoring for the game. He received able assistance from little Jack Bea. Ted Young led the Coop scorers with 11 points.
Sigma Nu scored its second victory of the year downing the luckless Kappa Eta Kappa outfit 29 to 10 in a rough game. The winners led 17 to 6 at halftime. Beomer Collins, Sigma Nu forward, was high point man for the game with five field goals.

It's Conversion Plus
A nod to those American manufacturers who have progressed so rapidly with their job of conversion! It is amazing how fast this change has come about in some factories, considering the usually striking dissimilarity between the manufacturer's original product and the war product his plant now turns out.
Latest example is the production by a noted radiator company of a new style war helmet. Workers who formerly labored tediously on delicate radiator tubings, for example, now press out helmets so tough they cannot be pierced by even a .45 caliber missile.
A foremost washing machine producer has changed over to the manufacture of bomber parts. An amusement factory has been given over to casting dies for army and navy equipment such as turret mounts for tanks, tools, punches, and gauges.
A producer of stove thermostats has shifted to the making of intricate devices for the firing of artillery cartridges. This evidently was the simplest of the changes since both men and machines were already suited for exacting work on complicated parts.
With this change in methods of production such as floor space arrangement, tools, dies and machinery, came the necessity for training many of the workers in their new tasks. Vocational classes have contributed mainly in this direction.
We owe a vote of thanks to the school system and to many manufacturers of America; they show the stuff our country is made of.
We see by the Chicago Tribune that Uruguay produces more rice than is needed for local consumption.
History Repeated
Not for 136 years had England's shores been threatened with invasion when swarms of Hitler's planes almost bombed Britain into submission in September, 1940. Amazing is the parallel of the paths of England's last two would-be conquerors—Napoleon in 1803 and Hitler today.
Before Bonaparte's invasion attempts, he secured his fronts on the west by defeating the Austrians in Italy at the battle of Hohenlinden and mitigating their potency by the treaty of Luneville in February, 1801. Hitler precluded his invasion efforts against Britain by crushing the power of Czechoslovakia and Poland. Next Hitler pounced on Belgium, Holland, and France to assure his armies a path to the Straits of Dover, across which stood the British bastion.
After defeating Austria, Napoleon signed the treaty of Amiens with England. The English knew that it was merely an armistice till France's "Little Corporal" had prepared his forces for invasion. (Hitler used the Munich agreement to the same effect.) Napoleon used conscription to raise an army of 210,000 men—insignificant in comparison to Hitler's millions under arms, but preponderant enough in that day. He ordered thousands of barges moved to the invasion ports, and in May, 1803, Napoleon declared war on the British.
But the French navy was impotent, and Nelson's smashing naval victory over Napoleon's
navy at Trafalgar in 1805 curshed Bonaparte's hopes of reaching the British Isles. In 1940, the R.A.F. canceled Hitler's air-borne attack. Prime Minister Churchill recognized their intrepid efforts: "Never before have so many owed so much to so few."
To retain his power and keep the French people behind him, it was exigent that Napoleon turn his war efforts in new channels. He marched on and decimated a coalition of Austria, Russia, and Prussia at Austerlitz in 1805. By the treaty of Pressburg, France made its victory secure. To keep the German support, Hitler turned his war machine to the Balkans—Yugoslavia, Greece, Crete—and Lybia. The Nazi hordes overran Greece.
From Austria, Boneparte's vanguard pressed eastward into Russia. Thence looked Der Fuehrer some 130 years later. Napoleon moved into the land of the Czars in 1812 with 610,000 men. He reached Moscow. It was a burnt shell. His glorious army lost 500,000 soldiers in its retreat through blizzards and desolation in 1813. Hitler's Russian offensive fell short of Moscow. His legions are now being pushed back. Winter and the Russians are overwhelming the Nazis.
All the occupied countries rose against the war weary legions of France as Napoleon trekked homeward from Russia. He won some hollow victories, but at Leipzig in 1814, his forces were trapped and defeated by the Prussians under Blucher and the Austrians under Schwarzenberg. Dissension in France soon caused the ambitious "Little Corporal" to abdicate and withdraw to the Isle of Elba. Hitler's armies are already tasting defeat in Russia; how long will it be before the occupied countries of Europe rise to fight another battle of Leipzig?—A.H.

The men of Carruth Hall are taking the war seriously. Not content with performing mere civilian defense duties, they have been getting in some vital training as bombers. It all started when Dale Lingelbach sent to his dot of Wheaties radio serial fame, Jack Armstrong, for the Jack Armstrong Bomb Sight.
Saturday, the bomb sight made its long awaited arrival. It took some time to figure out the complicated mechanism of the sensational gadget. It took a goodly amount of patience to figure it all out, but eventually direct hits rang from one end of the house to the other. Wheaties consumption at Carruth Hall has gone up 100 percent, since the boys want to accumulate enough box tops that each and every one of them may own one of these military masterpieces.

Sigma Nu's dates who attended their buffet supper last Thursday night might possibly be in the dark about the source of the event. The pledges got together and decided to ask an abundancy of dates over, so that the actives might be forced to eat in the kitchen. This vile trick got to the actives who turned around and did the same thing, in order that the freshmen might have to eat in the kitchen. This plot does not mention what was supposed to happen to the freshmen's dates.

In Watson "Lost and Found"
The Scarlet Letter
By Forest Hashbarger
"The Letter" is in the lost and found drawer of Watson library. "Dear Harlan," it begins in a fine, girlish hand. (Poor Harlan doesn't know what he missed.)
This little manuscript made the other contents of the drawer seem almost drab and unglamorous, although some of them were rather interesting. There was a small spiral notebook which contained everything for a liberal education, from dinner menus to a list of girls' names and phone numbers. Unfortunately, the phone numbers were not matched up with the names.
argument to get him to spend his spring vacation on Mt. Oread, tells him what a wonderful guy he is, and then ends up by tantalizing him with the information that Jimmie Lunceford is to be here for the Junior Prom, "and doesn't he wish he could be here?"
Through three pages, this babe subtly weaves her web to entangle the chump. She draws a beootiful picture of her proposed weekend visit (to a certain well-known military academy) and of the fun they will have, explains why she isn't explaining something which is too, too delicate, complicated, and long to put in a letter (she doesn't mention that it might be self-incriminating), puts forth a charming $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $
All this stuff gives one hope that prosperity is not too far away, however. Certainly no poverty-stricken people would be able to lose so much stuff, without ever giving a thought to reclaiming it.
There was one pair of spectacles, which must have been there for some time, judging from their nearness to the bottom of the pile. A dime, a key, powder and puff shared the inside of a compact, which was really not of dime-store quality. Some student apparently believes he can get through physiology without the aid of the $1.50 lab manual which he abandoned in the library. "Springe iz Hear"
Liberal Education
A trend toward spring was indicated by the number of discarded scarves, gloves, and mittens. There were five scarves (girls') and two
around-the-head bandanas, seven pair and two singleton mittens (also feminine), and four pairs of women's gloves. Three men decided to let their lily-white face the elements unprotected, leaving their gloves behind. One person left his nose drops, semingly convinced that spring is here to stay.
Other items in the pile—a bottle of Sheaffer's ink (3/4 gone), two groups of accounting sets, one ROTC final (grade: 88), the minutes of the graduate women's club for 1940-'41, notebooks covering a variety of courses: Spanish, German, chemistry, algebra, and others, a 30-60-90 degree triangle, one blue quiz book, and two lovely, brand new Easter cards. Oldest item in the collection is a key, tagged as found in front of the library early in 1940.
If people don't start being more careful, the librarians are going to have to find new quarters for their sideline, the library.
Warning For Raid Wardens
Hood River, Ore.—(UP)—A civilian defense captain, attempting to arouse the town for an early morning alert started banging away with his shotgun. Then he rushed to the phone to find out the results of his effort. The telephone was dead. His blast had shot down the wires.

Java Afire with Fierce Japanese Invasion Drive
By United Press
Allied Headquarters, Java, March 5-A great battle raged all over Java today, with Japanese invasion armies closing a pincers on the capital of Batavia, striking to within 30 miles of Bandoeng military headquarters and fighting to isolate the Sperabaja naval base.
Attacking tirelessly and in overwhelmingly superior numbers behind their tanks and under fleets of their dive bombers, the Japanese in western Java have captured Krawang, 40 miles east of Batavia; Purwakarta, 40 miles north of Bandoeng, Netherlands Indies high command headquarters, and Tangerang, the communique, admitted
In eastern Java, it was added, the enemy was advancing continually and had captured Solo, about 80 miles west of the naval and air force base of Soerabaja, and Bodjongoro.
Fight Superior Forces
Throughout the island, Dutch troops and the American, British and Australian forces in their support, including a Texas artillery unit, are fighting a raging battle against the numerically superior enemy forces, the communique reported.
The communique revealed that the Japanese had raided Tjilitjap, on the south coast—a port whose strategic importance had increased immeasurably because it is the last harbor at which reinforcements might be disembarked in comparative safety.
Dutch and other Allied troops are fighting heroically, the communique said, against the Japanese including their light, mobile advance units which continue infiltration across plantations and through jungle. Two Jan Bombers Down
Two Japanese bombing planes were destroyed, and two more probably destroyed, out of a fleet of six which bombed Bandoeng today.
British Hurricane fighters raided a Japanese occupied airdrome at Kalilidati, shot down a crack enemy navy plane, damaged another and machine gunned several Japanese planes on the field.
Two Hurricanes were lost but their pilots escaped, one slightly wounded.
Big Ten May Scrap Schedule
Chicago, March 5—(UF)—In an effort to co-ordinate its program with that of service teams, the western conference may scrap its 1942 football schedule, it was reported today as Big Ten athletic directors met to discuss war-time policies.
Big Ten football schedules are drawn in advance from three to five years, but a powerful conference faction purportedly favors delaying fulfillment of some gridiron commitments until after the war.
"We have pledged ourselves to cooperate in providing competition for service teams and entertainment for the enlisted men," a spokesman said, "and there's no better way to do it than by meeting Army, Navy and Marine teams during the coming football season. Under the schedule as drawn now the number of contests with the service teams would be limited, so it may be necessary to postpone for the duration some of our regular conference commitments."

20 Hostages Die In Payment For Murder of Nazi
Vichy, March 5—(UP)—Paris was placed in official mourning by German occupation authorities today for a German soldier who was killed Sunday.
The British radio, quoting Rome advices from Berlin, said that 20 hostages had been executed for killing the soldier. Twenty more are to be executed March 16 unless the killers are found.
Gen. Ernst Schauamburg, deputy German military governor, ordered the entire city to observe mourning for the Nazi soldier on the occasion of his burial today.
Movies, theaters and other amusement places were ordered closed throughout the day.
Germany, at the same time that it denounced the British bombing raid on Paris Tuesday night, announced that 40 hostages, to be executed for killing the soldier, would be picked from "Jews and Communists" and that the trial of seven "Communist terrorists," six of them minors, would proceed at Paris today and would end tomorrow.
Explosion In Iowa Ordnance Plant Kills 13
Burlington, Iowa, March 5—Army authorities estimated today that "about 13" men were killed by an explosion that rocked the $60,000,000 Iowa ordnance plant at the midnight change of shifts.
Col. O. M, Jank, commanding officer at the plant, said that the death toll had been fixed tentatively at 13 "on the basis of all information we have received so far." More Than 20 Injured
Two hours earlier, Jank had reported the number of known dead at seven but said the figure might be greater and that "it may take three or four days to determine the exact number." More than 30 were injured, some critically.
SPORTIN' AROUND---sas City. In the Big Six Oklahoma has finished her schedule with a mark of eight wins and two losses and rests at the top of the heap. Kansas is in second place with seven victories and two defeats and has one game, the tilt with Missouri tomorrow night, remaining on its schedule. If the Jayhawkers win this game they will be tied with Oklahoma for the championship.
By UNITED PRESS
Names of the victims were not released, but the coroner's office reported Hartzell Popejay, Fairfield, Iowa, had died at the Burlington hospital.
Jank said the blast was in the process building in one of the "load lines" and was similar to one which claimed 13 lives at the plant last Dec. 12.
The explosion occurred at 11:55 p.m.
"In the darkness, we have been unable to determine the details of the explosion," Jank said, "but we intend to begin an investigation at daylight."
The officer reported that only one building was affected by the explosion.
To Investigate Today
(continued from page four)
The Mercy and Burlington hospitals at Burlington, six miles east of the plant, reported 31 injured workers had been brought to them for treatment and that some were in critical condition. Additional injured were said to be at the plant hospital. State highway patrolmen from
The Aggies have an edge in respect to offensive-defensive margins but this might not be considered. In 10 games the Aggies averaged 37.4 points a game offensively and held their opponents to 21.1 points a game for a margin of 16.3 points a game. Creighton on the other hand has an offensive average of 42.4 points a game for nine contests and their opponents have tallied 29.4 points. If Creighton hopes to equal the Cowboy margin of victory the Bluejays must defeat Drake by 46 points. In their first clash Creighton defeated Drake 60 to 25 at Des Moines.
As a result of a Big Six ruling passed two years ago Kansas would be selected as the team to continue in the play-offs. This ruling states that the team with the greatest offensive-defensive margin would be selected as the Big Six representative. At present Kansas has an offensive average of 59.4 points in nine games and a defensive mark of 38.9 points. Oklahoma on the other hand finished with an offensive record of 44.6 points a game and defensively allowed 39.0 points a contest. Under no conditions, providing Kansas comes through victorious tomorrow night, could Oklahoma place a claim as the logical representative of the Big Six.
In the Missouri Valley Oklahoma A. and M. has completed its schedule with only one loss on its record. Creighton has one game to play against Drake and likewise has just one loss. If Creighton wins this game, as they certainly should, a tie would result. The Missouri Valley has no by-law covering a means of determining the conference's play-off contender and a mix-up might ensue.
Another point which might affect the team to be selected is the two-game series which the Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma A. and M. have coming up March 6 and 12. If these two teams split this series this should clear the road for Kansas to enter the Western play-offs unmolested. If the Sooners would accidentally win both games this would make even a more conclusive case for the Jayhawkers. The one situation which might complicate affairs, and the one which is most likely to happen, is for the Aggies to win both games. This would give the Cowboys a definite right to have a play-off with Kansas if the Jayhawkers win the title.
throughout southeastern Iowa were called to the scene to handle traffic.
Burlington police and firemen joined in administering first aid to the injured and carrying them to hospitals.
U.S. Pilots Outwit German Bombers
German bombers have developed tricky defensive formations and a withering crossfire.
Quick thinking by many American pilots of the Eagle Squadron, even in the heat of split-second aerial battles, often brings down the bombers. One story is told of an RAF squadron that attacked a flight of enemy bombers. As each Spitfire dived, the attacked

"Under the circumstances, given the size of their army and air force, it would not be sensible to expect them to fail at all points. They must win at some points and we should not be astonished if they have a number of temporary successes.
"But." Sheean adds, "overstrained as they already are, they are a much less mighty nation than, say, the Germans or the Americans. They are extending themselves to the utmost now—over spaces much greater, for example, than Hitler ever attempted. They must lose whenever the American, British, and Chinese efforts are coordinated and we can take the offensive. I hope and believe that this may happen in China, but time will show. It would all be much speeded up if Russia also entered the war against Japan; but that, too, will come in time.
"Whatever happens in this first two or three months—and I repeat that we must steady against the possible impact of bad news-Japan has not a ghostly chance of winning the war. Nor can she hope for any help from her evil genius, Germany, now in the last stages of her fatal adventure. Germany and Japan can communicate only with difficulty now, and we can be sure there will not be a union of their forces."

Miss Yearout explained that we must understand these differences and form a background to make Pan-Americanism not a political football but a permanent affair through education in the Americas.

Salt Lake Sugar Finds Prosperity Write Autographs
Salt Lake City, Utah (UP) America's beet sugar industry, centered in the intermountain and Rocky mountain states of Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Eastern Oregon and Washington, appears headed for its greatest development in history as a result of wartime restriction of cane sugar imports.
For the first time under the New Deal, acreage quotas for beet production have been scrapped, and officials expect a 20 per cent expansion in Utah alone, with similar increases in Idaho and Colorado.
Processing companies have announced plans for reopening plants closed by quota reduction in the last two to three years, and a new refinery is under construction at Nampa, Ida.

"If the bombing airplane is to remain a permanent instrument in war, and history proves that no instrument of war invented by man has ever been given up until man has invented a more terrific one, then I would say that a four or five-story city would be safer and better than one with a lot of skyscrapers such as we build in America."

"They will not be built in the traditional manner of "great unnecessary masses of solid masonry which fill the streets with rubble as we have seen in the pictures of the bombings in London—all an une-
There will be no more skyscrapers built, he said, because they "are not a necessity from any point of view, and they only cause undue congestion in the streets wherever they are grouped."

Corbett said prefabricated and synthetic materials will lighten buildings to about two-thirds of their present weight. They will then be put together with little waste of time and can be taken apart with equal rapidity.

team votes were Larry Beaumont,

Mills, two; and Danny Howe, Paul

The second team was led by Horacek,
Kansas State's flashy forward.
He received 10 second team votes
beside that one first team ballot.
Loren Mills of Missouri was also
named by every player as he added
nine second team votes to his two first team selections.
Larry Beaumont was placed at center on the second team as he garnered seven votes beside his other three. Paul Heap and Bob McCurdy of Oklahoma complete the team. Heap gathered in six additional votes and Bob McCurdy received five more)
One of the oddities of the tabulation was the vote which Herbie Gregg of Missouri received. Gregg did not compete against the Jayhawks the first semester and his only game against them this season will be tomorrow night. Yet the speedy little Tiger received five second team votes. Perhaps this is an indication of the respect which the Jayhawks will hold for the Bengal in Hoch tomorrow night.
Another strange fact noted was the opinion that one player held of Carol Schneider. The unnamed player put Schneider on both his first and second teams. It might have been Charlie Black who was held to two field goals by Schneider at Ames. This was just half the number that he tallied in his next poorest field goal effort. But Black shouldn't have too high an opinion of Schneider for he looped in eight goals against the gangling Cyclone when the teams played here. It remains an unsolved mystery for none of the players signed their names to their ballots.
At the same time that the players selected their all-opponent team their coach, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, named his All-Big Six team for the year. Three of his Jayhawkers made the first team and his other two regulars gained the second team.
Ralph Miller was named captain and Charlie Black was placed ab center. Ray Evans gained one of the guard berths along with A. D. "Ug" Roberts, Oklahoma forward who was shifted to guard. The other forward was Al Budolfson of Iowa State.
John Buescher placed at a forward berth and Marvin Sollenberger gained a guard spot on the second team. At center was Carol Schneider of Iowa State, whom Allen named captain. Jack Horacek of Kansas State was the other forward and Sid Held, a unanimous first team choice of his players, placed at a guard berth to complete the team.

Fans Honor Cage Coach At Banquet
Presentation to the University of Kansas of the Forrest C. Allen Scholarship Fund, and celebration of the 25th anniversary of the famous basketball mentor's association with the University, will feature the pre-game festivities at the Missouri-Kansas basketball game tonight, marking the end of the basketball season on Mt. Oread. Dr. Ed Elbel, of the department of physical education, is general chairman in charge of arrangements.

More than 300 reservations for the "Phog" Allen dinner in the Memorial Union building have been received, and among them are many high state and University officials and former basketball stars who have paraded before generations of students on the Hill. A: the dinner, Paul Endacott, cage star who was graduated from the School of Engineering and Architecture in 1923, and now a vice-president of the Phillips Petroleum company, will present to Dr. Allen, a bound volume of letters of congratulation from former players, friends, and members of the Allen family. The cover of the volume is fashioned from hand carved oak, bound in pigskin, and carries the caption, "Phog," on the front. It was designed by Miss Betty Schwartz, instructor in the department of design. A gift will be presented also to Mrs. Allen at the dinner.
Money Into Bonds
At the pre-game ceremonies, when the scholarship will be presented to the University, Chancellor Deane W. Malot will speak briefly in honor of the occasion, and a gift presented to Dr. Allen from the freshman cage squad. A floral offering will be made to Mrs. Allen by the varsity squad. Following the Missouri game, Dr. and Mrs. Allen will be "at home" to friends, in the lounge of the Memorial Union building.
More than $700 has already been contributed to the Allen Scholarship Fund and donations are still coming in. The money, which will be administered by the University's committee on aids and awards, will be invested in defense bonds, and the funds will be available for scholarships upon maturity of the bonds. Presentation of the fund to the University will be made by Balfour Jeffrey, Topeka attorney, and 1928 graduate of the School of Law.

Regardless of the outcome of tonight's all-important game with the Missouri Tigers, students will be swinging out to the music of Russ Chambers and his orchestra at the Tiger varsity in the Memorial Union ballroom soon after the cage contest is over. The dance will last for two hours, from 9:30 to 11:30, and will be a sweater-skirt affair.

If the varsity turns out to be a victory celebration, students will have enough reason to celebrate, for they will be co-champions.
Comedy To Be Read Radio Style
The staged reading of "Mrs. Moonlight," a comedy by Benn Wolf Levy, will be given by the department of speech and drama at 8:15 o'clock Monday and Tuesday nights in the little theater of Green hall.
The narrator for the play will be James Barton, instructor of speech. Professor Crafton will read the part of Tom Moonlight, and Reola Durand, college junior, will take the role of Sarah Moonlight.
Reading the part of Willie Ragg will be Kenneth Jackson, college senior; Virginia Davis, college freshman, will read the role of Edith.
Resembling a radio presentation, the interpretation will be more elaborate than a common reading, yet not so detailed as a regular production. This new experiment, directed by Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, centers around the results of a woman's wish to remain young.
The part of Percy Middling in the play will be taken by Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama Jessica Crafton, wife of Professor Crafton, will read the part of Mmnie.
The character of Jane Middling will be portrayed by Constance Moses, college sophomore; Daniel Bachman, college freshman, will read the role of Peter Middling.

The sale of defense bond stamps by Scabbard and Blade, honorary military fraternity, in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall has been slow. Since the desk was opened Tuesday morning only $35 worth of stamps have been sold.
The idea of the campaign is to determine how many students can be encouraged to buy stamps for the future purchase of bonds. The fraternity has been doing its part by making the stamps available to students.
Folders are issued free of charge to students who buy the stamps and these booklets are marked off in sections large enough to hold several stamps.
Cooperating with the organization are Bricks, Rowlands Book store, the Jayhawker Cafe and both the Union fountain and cafeteria. Students who wish to follow the Scabbard and Blade slogan, "Match a coke with a stamp," may purchase the stamp along with the coke at these places.
Forensic Squad To Iowa Debate
Four members of Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary forensic fraternity, are attending an annual invitational debate at Iowa University in Iowa City this weekend. Next to the Missouri Valley Forensics meeting, this trip is the most important competitive forensic event for the University, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, said today.
Members attending the meeting are Arthur Nelson, college sophomore; Merrill Peterson, college junior; Russell Baker, business senior; and Donald Mitchell, business senior. The students will take part in six rounds of debate as well as oratory, discussion, and extemporaneous speaking.
The debate question is "Resolved: That democracies should form a federation based upon the Atlantic Charter after the war." The affirmative team will be Nelson and Mitchell, and the negative team will be Peterson and Baker.
The students left for Iowa Wednesday night and will return to the University Sunday.
To Face Tigers In Championship Effort Tonight
It's a heavily favored Jayhawker crew that will flap wings with a clawless Missouri Tiger at 7:30 o'clock tonight in Hoch auditorium in an effort to clinch a tie for the Big Six title with Oklahoma and a passible chance to compete in the N.C.A.A. play-offs.
Not only will the game itself involve interesting developments but the chance still exists, although quite remote, that Ralph "Cappy" Miller may close his regular intercollegiate career by setting a new record. What kind of a record it may be can change three times within five points.
If Miller scores 28 points, he will break the individual conference scoring record for a Kansas player which Howard Engleman holds at 27 points. If "Cappy" comes through with three more points he will break Jimmy McNatt's (Oklahoma) conference record of 30 points. And if Miller continues to rake in the points and totals 33 or more, he will break

Meet Dadd\
While Vincent Sheean is not a complete stranger in his own house, any prolonged presence there on his part is certain to arouse the curiosity of his young daughters.
"Mama," queried 5-year-old Linda Susan recently, just after her celebrated father's return from bomb-strewn London, what is daddy doing so much in this house?" Two-year-old Ellen Gertrude was born while?
her father was away on a lecture tour.
From the days of the Rif Rebellion in Morocco in the early 20's, through the Lausanne Conference, the Fascist march on Rome, through momentous events in Russia, Palestine, Persia, and China, through the civil war in Spain, the blitzkrieg on the Western Front in 1940, and virtually all of the history-making events of the past two decades, including the tense situation during recent months, Vincent Sheen has been roaming the news fronts of the world.
Sheean Likes Parties
On those comparatively rare occasions when his career has permitted what is for him the luxury of home life, he makes the most of them. He loves people, likes to entertain and be entertained. He especially likes small parties, and likes nothing better than drawing out other people, checking and re-checking their thought on all kinds of problems against his own. For that reason he has come to like lecture tours, despite an earlier prejudice against public speaking. He appreciates the chance to meet so many kinds of people all over the country.
He likes to dance, and according to Mrs. Sheean is an excellent dancer. He used to play a little tennis, but now finds little time for exercise excepting that frequently involved in making plane and train connections in a tightly - booked trans-continental lecture tour.
A Music Lover
Next to people, music and reading are his chief diversions. He is passionately fond of music. Wagner is probably his favorite composer. Last winter he attended all the "ring" performances at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and frequently goes to symphony concerts. He himself sings German lieber quite well, which he learned while singing in pre-Nazi Berlin.
His reading taste is quite catholic. He keeps up with current publications in French, German, Italian, and Spanish, as well as in English. He speaks as fluently as he reads, in all of these languages. A speaking knowledge of foreign languages, he says, is one of the most useful tools a foreign correspondent can have. Detective stories he finds useful on the long waits he sometimes has while on tour.
He is also something of an authority on art. His wife, whose English upbringing included a thorough grounding in art appreciation, says that a visit to an art museum with Mr. Sheean is an "unforgettable experience."
Like many other writers, Mr. Sheean prefers to work at night when his household is asleep. He
sits down to his typewriter before the open fire in his book-lined study in the 14-room dwelling at Bronx-ville. It is the same study in which Sinclair Lewis has written several of his novels; it was planned and built especially to meet a writer's needs for seclusion and quiet. Nokia Take Over
Most of the Sheans' own household things are still in their apartment in Paris—at least they were there until the Nazis came. They have now relinquished all hope of retrieving them. They expect to make America their permanent home, however, no matter what happens, and to rear their two daughters as Americans.
Nazis Take Over
Mrs. Sheean is the former Diana Forbes-Robertson, daughter of Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, famous British actor, and niece of the late Maxine Elliott, celebrated American actress. A typical English beauty and very youthful in appearance, she is much saddened by the catastrophe which has overtaken her native land, but she is glad that she can watch her little daughters play under the still bomb-free skies of America.

Scientists Study Pacific Seal Habits
Coming — Tiny Hill — March 17
The "guinea pigs" were brought to Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo from the rocky coast of St. Paul island in the Pribiloff group, home of thousands of fur seals off the Alaskan coast. The purpose of the experiment—the first of its kind in history—is to determine the eating habits of the seals.
Seattle, Wash. —(UP)— Before the watchful eyes of scientists from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the University of Washington, a herd of seven seals are the main actors in a bit of biological research.
The investigators would like to know the amounts and kind of fish the seals consume in an effort to find out what effect seal appetites have on Pacific fisheries.
As a result, scholarly biologists from both the service and the university show up at meal times to take notes on what kind of fish the seals turn up their whiskered noses at and what delicacies they relish.
Last year the federal biologists started a vast project. They tagged 10,000 Pribiloff seals in an attempt to study their migrations during the months they are absent from their birthplaces.
Another thing they would like to discover is just how much fish a seal can gulp down in the course of a day—something which science so far has never determined.

Hill Party Goes Pan-American
A new idea for Hill denes will take hold at the Fan-American Casino, hot spot and gambling club for-a-night, when it opens for three hours in the Memorial Union ballroom at 8:30 o'clock next Friday night.
Tables will be set up in the main ballroom, and the wings will house the gambling equipment. Students who think that they have a lucky streak may try their hand at the crap table, chuck-a-luck board, black jack game, and other games of chance with script money.
Cokes and soft drinks will be served at the tables to those who wish to buy them. Music for dancers will be furnished by Clayton Harbur and his orchestra.
Other entertainment includes a floor show to add more of the night club atmosphere to the party. Cigarette girls and flags of the Pan-American countries will carry out the theme. If possible the organizations hope to have an exhibition of the rhumba, conga, and other South American dances put on by the several exchange students.
The University Daily Kansam's All-Big Six Conference first and second teams with honorable mention lists will be presented in Sunday's Kansam.
This dance is one of the first to be sponsored by the combined Independent Students' association, and men's and women's Pan-Hellenic groups, but if the idea goes over, plans call for more activities of this nature. Admission will be 25 cents plus tax for everyone.

Kansas Serves Its People Extension Division In 37,593 Helpful Services
Phone 524
More than 37,000 items of service to the people of Kansas last year were listed in the annual report of Harold G. Ingham, director of the University extension division, to the University senate this week. The 37,593 figure included formal enrollments in correspondence study, extension classes, special salesmanship classes, institutes, clinics, short courses and conferences, all conducted under the direction of the extension service.
Include Formal Enrollment
A total of 8880 formal enrollments were included in it. Of these, 3691 persons were engaged in correspondence study and enrolled in extension classes conducted at various points in the state. Classes in salesmanship supervised by the department enlisted 1,813, while 3,376 enrolled for institutes, conferences, clinics, and short courses.
Residents Not Included
These figures do not, of course, include the more than 5,000 students in residence on the campus last year, nor the approximately 14,000 young men who completed or were enrolled during the year in the Engineering Science Defense Training program sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education and administered by University authorities. 15,000 Films Distributed
15,000 Films Distributed
Through the department of visual instruction, the total number of motion picture films, both silent and sound, distributed in 578 Kansas schools, was 15,768. The bureau of general information of the extension division, supplied a total of 11,842 loans to schools and study clubs, of packets of library materials, club study programs, copies of plays and operettas for school and community groups, and art exhibits containing prints of famous pictures.
Eleven hundred programs were supplied through the lecture bureau. This number included 162 lectures by University staff members arranged by the Extension service, and did not include a great many appearances which were arranged directly between staff members and the groups served.
"Not enough people realize the large number of hidden services to the people of Kansas through this division." Mr. Ingham pointed out, "They are paying for this service and it is available to all who desire it."

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
Most definite proof that colleges and universities are serious about adopting this freshman eligibility rule is revealed in the news that on many Carolina campuses there are high school football stars participating in spring football practice. On several of these campuses the freshman rule is not passed as yet but the players are taking part in spring workouts as "insurance" so that these schools will be well fortified when next fall rolls around.
Fordham is the latest big-time school to pass the freshman rule. The Rams announced yesterday that all freshmen would be eligible to participate in intercollegiate athletics starting Sept. 1, 1942. Previous to this statement, the Big Three (consisting of Yale, Harvard, and Princeton—three of the most august, sedate schools in the country) passed the same rule. If colleges of this nature with their huge enrollments see a necessity for making freshmen eligible, then the smaller colleges can do well to follow their example.
WHAT IS HOLDING THE BIG SIX BACK?
Just why the Big Six failed to take some definite action on this situation at their recent meeting in Kansas City is mighty strange. Schools such as Missouri that are opposed to the innovation feel quite smug with the knowledge that a large veteran squad is returning next fall. However, Missouri could be fooled greatly. Don Faurot thought himself quite smart when he saw to it that most of his juniors enlisted in the V-7 branch of the Naval Reserve. It was a wise move and the safest thing to do under the circumstances. V-7, however, isn't definite insurance because one clause in the contract stipulates that the individual may be called at any time if the Navy so desires and the situation is urgent enough.
If something of this nature did happen and the V-7 boys were called to active duty then Missouri would be in the same fix that the majority of other schools are finding themselves in at the present time. In our own midst the Missouri Valley and most of the smaller colleges have adopted the freshman rule. If these schools use their freshmen when they compete against Big Six schools then the latter should be allowed to use their first-year men.
This would result in considerable confusion, however. But it would be the only fair thing to do if the Big Six continues its policy of not competing against teams that have in effect the freshman eligibility rule. In past years Big Six schools refused to schedule games with four-year eligibility schools and yet they will be forced to do this if they refuse to pass the freshman rule.
According to present reports the Big Six is lined up three-three concerning the passage of the rule. The three objecting schools claimed as their excuse that they did not know exactly what the attitude of their schools was on the situation and wished to wait until the May meeting of the Big Six faculty fathers. If the schools would have been truthful they might have said that their athletic departments were not quite ready to go into the open market after high school stars and were stalling for time.
This is the one big objection to the passage of the freshman rule. Competitive bidding for a fancy stepping halftback or a low-slung, hard charging guard will be terrific. A player corresponding to the ability of Northwestern's Bill DeCorrevont a few years ago might be offered everything on the campus except the Chancellor's house and even that, tax free, if he happened to have a four-year deferment from the Army for some reason or other.
THEYLL ALL BE PLAYING FRESHMEN
Another possibility as to why the Big Six refused to take action is because this conference is waiting on the decision of the Big Ten. If that isn't silly! Isn't the Big Six a big enough conference that it can act and move on its own merits without having to wait and follow after a larger organization? If the Big Six fathers do feel this way they are certainly cheapening themselves and the conference by admitting it.
The Big Ten doesn't allow their conference champion or any team for that matter to compete in post-season football games. Yet Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska don't find objections when they get the invitation to rake in from $30,000 to $100,000 on a Sugar, Orange, or Rose Bowl game. Just what can be the trouble now? Are the "big three" of the Big Six afraid that the other schools will also gather in some of the better high school prospects this year?
Yet that can't be a plausible reason because if the bigger schools have been getting the cream of the crop in the past three is no reason to indicate that they will not continue to do so. The only difference that it will make is in the size of the squads.
If the freshman rule does not pass, then the three football powers will have much larger squads from which to work with next fall. More of their (continued to page seven)

Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi last night won their way to the class "C" playoff finals with hairline decisions over slightly favored rivals. The two teams will clash for the championship tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock.
The Phi Delt's thought themselves victorious at the end of the regular playing period and left the floor. An examination of the score card revealed, however, that apparently one free throw had not been credited to the Phi Gam's by the scorekeeper. The winners were recalled to the floor, and proceeded to take the contest by way of a long shot by guard Bob Woodbury.

A free throw by Jim Waugh in the last half minute of the fourth quarter had given the Phi Delt's their tying point. Earlier in the game Waugh and Ralph Weir had carried the scoring burden for the
The Phi Delt's had done it before and last night proceeded to do it again—in fact twice—as they handed Phi Gamma Delta a 22 to 20 trimming in an overtime game.
Oliver Bryan, Tau Kappa Epsilon center, compiled the best scoring average for the regular intramural basketball season just finished. Bryan averaged 13.2 points per game. In second place was Bill Hodge, Phi Kappa Psi ace, with a 12.7 average.
Last year's runner-up, Larry McSpadden of Phi Gamma Delta, finished in fourth place this year behind Harold Wright, Alpha Chi Sigma forward. Jo Fornier, Newman I star and last year's top man, is not in school this year.
Scorekeeper Omits Phi Delt Point
Although Junius Penny finished sixth in point averages, the Newman I guard totaled the highest number of points of any men in intramural competition. He collected 117 points in ten games. Hodge took second place in this division also.

The Phi Delt's had trailed throughout most of the game. The losers held a 6 to 5 lead at the end of the first quarter, increased it to 11 to 6 at the half, and were still ahead 17 to 14 at the end of the third period.
The Beta's also came from behind, as they defeated the Phi Kappa Psi "C" men 31 to 30. A goal by John Shelton provided the winning margin, after the winners had trailed 11 to 12 at halftime.

Buffs Pass NCAA For N.Y. Tourney
With Missouri playing Kansas and Oklahoma A. and M. tangling with Oklahoma tonight the outlook was bright that the teams which will compete in the Western Division play-offs of the N.C.A.A. might be determined.
However, events of the day have so complicated matters that now only Rice seems like a certainty to enter. And it is through no smart handling by Rice that the Owls are sure. Their only competitors, Arkansas and West Texas, stepped out because of injuries and another $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
tournament so Rice had no choice but to accept the bid.
Colorado May Drop N.C.A.A.
The Seventh District was presumably settled with the Colorado Buffaloes a certainty to compete. But this morning Frosty Cox, coach of the Buffaloes, queried the Wyoming Cowboys, second place winner of the Big Seven, if that team would be willing to compete in the N.C.A.A. meet if the Buffaloes went to New York and competed along with West Texas, Rhode Island State, and five other teams in Ned Irish's Madison Square Garden tournament.
The last development merely backs up "Phog" Allen's statements that the heads of the N.C.A.A. are a bunch of money-grabbers. If Frosy Cox,
who is a member of the National Rules Committee of the N.C.A.A., refuses to have anything to do with the tournament and would rather play for more money at New York, then it appears quite logical that there is considerable basis for Allen's charges.
N.C.A.A. Fails To Make Good
"The N.C.A.A. and A.A.U. are only gobble' organizations. Each three-year eligibility school pays the N.C.A.A. $25 a year for dues and this money is supposed to handle all expenses of the organization," Dr. Allen said. "The whole thing (the N.C.A.A. tourney) was put up in competition to the Madison Square Garden tournament and now the member schools are dropping it cold because the big-wigs are taking all the money.

Start Important Series At Stillwater Tonight
Oklahoma's Sooners will collide with the greatest defensive basketball team in the land when they engage Coach Hank Iba's Oklahoma Aggies tonight at Stillwater.
The hot Sooner shot-makers who scored 63 points on Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's powerful Kansas Jayhawkers before 7,000 at Norman last Friday night, hitting above 40% of their shots to bury the Jayhawks under the largest score made against a Kapsas basketball team since basketball began at Lawrence back in 1899, may decide to look into the recent statement of Eddie Hickey, Creighton coach, after they strike and rebound off Iba's steel-ribbed defense Friday.
Defense and ball control are the Genesis and Exodus of Iba's basketball bible. All of the Iron Duke's clubs have known how to guard, and also how to play keep-away when they decide to protect a lead. It's the first thing they are taught and the last thing they forget.
Jayhawks Saw Tight Defense
"Iba is the greatest defensive coach in the business," Hickey recently observed, "but I believe his technique is based too much on defense for the general good of basketball. If all coaches went for that type of play to the extent the Ag-

Hickey's bitterness is understandable when it is considered he voiced it right after his crack Bluejays, scored only seven field goals on their home court at Omaha while losing to the Aggies there, 22 to 31.
"Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers also know how it feels to have the hot breath of Iba's pickets on their necks. Although the Jayhawks normally shoot 75 times in every ball game and had averaged 51.1 points, they were permitted reduced rations of only seven field goals and 37 shots when they played the Aggies two weeks ago here.

The KANSAN Comments...
Let's Look at the Farm Bloo
Last week the stubborn, powerful Senate farm bloe threw another monkey wrench into our war machinery by voting to prohibit the Administration from selling government farm stocks at prices below parity.
The Commodity Credit Corporation, under instruction from the President and Secretary of Agriculture Wickard, wishes to sell these stocks at lower prices to encourage production of other farm goods more needed in the war emergency.
There has been no attempt at underhand action, at "selling out" the farmer. It is a long-range program, possibly making necessary a certain immediate shrinkage in farm profits, but putting the farmer on the right path toward sound future production.
This misguided group of Senators, rejecting compromise and ignoring a direct appeal from the President, initiated action to prohibit any sub-parity selling. The ultimate outcome is another question, for even if the bill passes the House, with its own farm bloc, it faces almost certain veto by the President. At any rate, it is the first step in the wrong direction.
The given reason for the legislators' stand is, of course, the high and laudable objective, equal purchasing power for the farmer. But experts agree that the policies they advocate will lead only to inflation and its endless chain of rising prices, harming agriculture in the long run. Congressmen who are able to, or take time to think clearly must reach these same conclusions.
But if they agree that they are voting wrong, they probably have another excuse handy—that they are acting under pressure from "the folks back home." There may be now some selfish, narrow agriculturalists and agencies who are exerting pressure, but there is no indication that the farm population as a whole is. The average farmer is too busy following a plow and worrying about his tires to exert any pressure on Washington.
It is quite possible, and very unfortunate if true, that Congressmen from agricultural areas have lost touch with the farmer and the small town. This was generally true before last December, and perhaps is still. Perhaps the senator or representative is recording his vote as he imagines the farmer would cast it.
If so, this is a dangerous condition, not only to the war program in particular but also to democratic government in general.—C.R.R.
The long-discussed, but never seen John Doe has turned up at last. Lawyers have used his name in vain for years, but when he finally did turn up in court it was on a drunkenness charge.
American Home Fronts In The Pacific
With the recent attack on California's coast line and the new battlefield opened by the Axis in the Caribbean, there have been abundant arguments for keeping the American forces at home to defend the United States.
President Roosevelt told the American people last week that, "Such foolish advice would result only in a 'turtle policy';" and so it would.
The battle in the Far East, which centers around Sumatra, Java, Rangoon, and the Burma Road, has but one purpose. If these strategic bases fall to the enemy, China's present lifeline will be severed, and other possible supply routes to China and Russia will be seriously imperiled.
The Japanese would be able to launch large-scale attacks on the United States and Alaska. Turkey, the Suez Canal, the North and West Africa could more easily be taken by the Nazis; British and Russian war efforts would be hampered. The Panama Canal would be an inevitable objective of the Axis powers. Destruction of the canal would mean the separation of the United States naval forces, a victory of great importance to the enemy.
Germany and Japan cannot hope to seize in one great sweep the concentrations of productive power which oppose the Axis. They can, however, try to isolate and choke Eurasia where the Chinese and Russians block their paths to domination.
Our battle now lies in the Pacific. Its successful conclusion will mean protection for the United States; its loss can result only in future destruction.—P.L.C.
The object of the Nazis and the Japanese is to separate the United States, Britain, China, and Russia, and to isolate each. According to President Roosevelt, "It is the old familiar Axis policy of 'Divide and Conquer'."
Commentary on the state of the nation: The first thing saved from a $40,000 home which burned in Long Island was a new tire. The home itself burned.

You Said It.
March 5,1942
Editor of the Daily Kansan, Dear Sir:
I am wondering if women really want to vote for the candidate they think is best qualified for office. Perhaps they would rather continue voting the way their houses or combines dictate-it would certainly take less time than to sincerely, individually, and open-mindedly ponder the question of the suitability of the individual candidates for office.
Permanently of the individual candidates for one of the political parties. The MSC seems to thrive on it! Critics have said, with grounds, that Hill combines are similar to political parties.
I think there is only one solution to the problem of the saving of women self-government: to have an election that is as honest and idealistic as we can comprehend. This cannot be done with either political parties or combin es. Limiting combines is only a step closer.
One solution lies in accepting a plan that gives the independent women an equal chance of representation in the nomination of candidates. I refer to the plan before the council at present, involving a committee composed of faculty members and eight senior members of the council, who determine the final candidates from those presented by both organized and unorganized groups.
The contention that "self-government" would be lost if such a plan were instituted, is far-fetched. Council members are much better acquainted with the candidates than the faculty members and would certainly have the final say-so. Probably the present suggested number of six faculty members will be reduced to two or three, to act as a stabilizing force on the committee. Certainly we could make use of mature judgment without having it dominate us.
In conclusion, I make my appeal for unprejudiced clear-thinking minds to work for honest self-government.
Sincerely, MARJORIE RADER.

If Bill Cavert wants to know what that strange and persistent noise is that happens when his car starts, he might look in the hub caps on the left hand side, or call Scotty Knox and Bunch Davis for more and better details.
Delt Bill Walker believes that a half smoked cigarette has great possibilities. He always saves stubs and files them carefully away in a little box, where he can refer to them at his leisure. Since the conservation bug has made its appearance, Walker has gone from worse to poor. He was down at the Jayhawk several days ago, and when his sandwich arrived, he put his cigarette, still lighted, behind his ear. With about three bites to go, he felt a definite burning sensation, discovered that he was about to be on fire, screamed once loudly and learned a great lesson. A cigarette in the hand may be worth two in the bush, but not if you've recently had a haircut.
Lila Jean Doughman has taken upon herself the education of her pledge sister, Nancy Donovan, whom she feels can stand a little education in the matter of worldly sophistication and the assumption-of-an-alert-attitude-in-reciprocal-convocation. To accomplish this she has placed a chart upon the Theta bulletin board, with some headings of the following sort: "A. Number of jokes caught; B. Number of jokes not caught; C. Number of Intelligent 'Huh's'; D. Number of unintelligent 'huh's'.
Anyone who exchanges social badinage with Donovan is supposed to record her responses on the chart, which will be totaled up for percentages after a certain period of time.
We note with shock and pain that Watson Library is encouraging Japanese flower arrangements on the second floor circulation desk. Who knows what may be lurking in the stacks? Better we should have a joint student-faculty committee to investigate the library.

The tall, grave-faced man groped his way along the blacked-out streets, his overcoat collar pulled up to hide his face. Of course nobody could see him in the darkness, but the man was nervous and wanted to be certain that he was unobserved. If anyone should find the message he carried, the end would be sure—and sudden.
Moving off the main street, the man passed through the slums, until he came to a little shack along the river bank. The shack was unlighted, seemed deserted.

West Coast Citizens Ready Know They Are in War
"People of the west coast are expecting just about anything in this war, and they are ready for it," commented George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, after his return this week from a trip to that area.
"They know they are in a war," he said in describing their attitude. He attended a group of related educational meetings in San Francisco during the shelling of the refinery at Santa Barbara and the air alarm at?
Expected Jap Attacks
Speaking of the Japanese attack on the California coast, Dean Smith said that the people, as well as the boys in the army and navy, had been expecting such treatment and that they were looking for more.
"The Santa Barbara radio sent out word of the attack within 10 or 15 minutes after it started," he explained, "but the news did not excite the boys." Dean Smith added that there was no excitement in San Francisco over the attack or the air raid.
"People thought things had really started," he reported, "but the whole west coast is in a state of readiness for anything." In describing his journey to California by train, Dean Smith said that all railroad trains going west from Kansas City were completely blacked out.
Signs in the coaches warn passengers to leave all lights off until the shades are drawn. Every bridge and tunnel from Denver west is guarded by army sentries, he added, and Oakland Bay bridge and the Golden Gate bridge are "alive" with sentries.
'Frisco Little Changed
Dean Smith thought the general appearance in San Francisco was about the same. The greatest change, he said, was in the parks and open spaces where all available space is being used for tent sites or places for keeping equipment. Streets of the western cities are filled with soldiers and sailors, he stated.
According to Dean Smith, the West is facing the war situation very realistically. Blackouts are very complete, he reported, and the California coast from Mexico almost to San Francisco has regular blackouts. San Francisco had a blackout Wednesday prior to the Japanese attack, but Dean Smith was not in the city at the time.
Defense Precautions.Set Up
The water front area is roped off and only persons with special permits or army or navy men can go through Dean Smith said. He told how anti-

aireraft machine guns are mounted on trucks to patrol the San Francisco docks day and night.
"Hotels have signs giving directions to nearest air raid shelters," he explained. These shelters are usually in basements of large buildings or on the third or fourth floors.
The hotel in which Dean Smith stayed had a recreation center constructed on one of the floors where it expects most guests to meet during raids. Cards, ping pong tables, and other methods of entertainment are provided.
Raid Shadows F.D.R.
"All newspapers carried huge heads of the Jap attack," Dean Smith said. "If the Japanese planned to move the Roosevelt speech off the front page, they just about succeeded." He expressed the idea that the papers on the coast do give the war news great prominence and still continue to warn people of air raid rules and other regulations.
Dean Smith said that the most striking difference between the coast and the Middle West was the attitude toward the war. "Most coast
The primary flight training courses in C. A, A. will start flying this week. Edward E. Brush, associate professor of aeronautics, said today.
Thirty students enrolled in the course have been assigned to flying instructors in preparation for the spring flying program, Brush explained.
The first part of the semester has been spent in attending ground school; the rest will be taken up with flying.
'SPORTIN' AROUND---people are in a war, and they are doing all they possibly can to further war industries. There is a definite difference in their realistic approach to war and the opinion we in the Middle West have of the problems" he believed.
Assign Students To Flight Program
The meetings of the American Association of School Administrators, which Dean Smith attended, were largely concerned with high school and college work; with the part education must play in the war effort and the adjustments schools must make to meet standards brought on by the war, he explained.

It now ceases to be a personal matter to each school. Whether the coaches, athletic directors, faculty representatives, or fans like it or not, freshmen are going to compete on teams throughout the country. If they are going to play for some teams then it is only fair that they be allowed to compete for all. If as many of the schools that have already legalized the play of first-year men believe that it is necessary for freshmen to play to continue intercollegiate athletics, then the Big Six will be a stacker indeed if they fail to get in the swing and follow the rule of the majority.
squadmen will probably be drafted but they will also have more left. However, if the freshmen were made eligible this would allow any or all schools to supplement their squad with enough freshmen to bring it up to full power.
Odds and ends: Oklahoma needn't feel too proud about Gerald Tucker's scoring prowess for just one season. . . Stan Modzelewski, Rhode Island State star, finished his collegiate career this week with a four-year all-time record total of 1,714 points for 89 games. . . . That's an average of 21.3 points a game over a four-year stretch. . . . The team which is representing Colorado's state university at Boulder certainly does not live up to its state's name. . . . When the Buffaloes lost at Laramie Tuesday night to Wyoming the Colorado coach was Frosty Cox, a Jayhawker grad and a Newton boy; Leason McCloud, the league's leading scorer with 170 points in 11 games, tallied 17 points that night and also halls from Newton; the other forward, George Hamburg, the team's defensive ace, calls Beloit his home the regular guards are Bob Kirchner, a former performer for the Topeka High Trojans, and Barney Oldham, a product of Hays High School; and the fifth member of the starting line-up is Bob Doll, All-American center two years ago, whose home is in California. . . . If the dayhawkers lose tonight or win and fail to get the bid from the Fifth District you can look for three of the starting quintet to play for the Faulttess Laundry team of Kansas City in the A.A.U tournament at Davenport this month.
Quoted from The Denver Post of Wednesday: There is a report that the University of Kansas, after several very had years, may follow the example of University of Chicago, New York University, and some others and abolish football. . . . Quoted from The Daily Kansan of yesterday: Spring football practice for Jayhawker gilders will get underway officially at 4:00 o'clock Monday afternoon, Vic Hurt, assistant varsity coach, announced today. . . .
Take your pick . . . In addition, Hurt is more optimistic over next year's team than any in his previous three years on Mt. Oread. . . . What a game Brown and Rhode Island State must have put up Wednesday night. . . . Brown won 83 to 82. . . Fred Pralle, former Jayhawker great, was in attendance at the Oklahoma U. game. He's at Bartlesville with Phillips now. . . Dick Reich, regular Sooner forward who did not play in the game, had a back injury which press notices claimed would keep him out of the struggle. . . He didn't get in but it wasn't that he couldn't have played. . . Drake just didn't need him and the whole yarn was a big bear story. . . . Red DeBernardi, another all-time Jayhawker great, saw the Oklahoma A. and M. game at Stillwater and thought the Kansans gave up in the last five minutes. . . Ray Heady, former instructor in journalism here and now assistant professor at Oklahoma, was torn between two fires when the game was in progress.

It was a sad moment for the onlookers, and even caused sweat to bead the brow of Dickie Moore, the dinner-jacketed youngster who applied the ___.
She looked grown up, too. That's what bothered the assembled movie makers. She had a silver butterfly in her chestnut-colored hair. She wore a pink evening gown which touched the floor and glistened across the front. Over it she had an evening cloak of white velvet, with gold spangles, and in her hand she held a lavender orchid.
There was Miss Temple sitting in one of Producer Small's trick cutaway automobiles that look like they're moving when they aren't. At the wheel was young Moore, driving through the traffic and talking about love. At the camera was Director Edwin L. Marin, finishing the action toward the kiss.
Shirley screamed to start the sequence. Moore slammed on the brakes. Two men at the levers bounced the car and Miss Temple found herself thrown into the arms of the boy friend.
Then nature, as interpreted in the movies, was allowed to take its course. Moore bent down his head to kiss Miss Temple. She turned her head slightly and he kissed her on the cheek.
"Fine," said Director Marin, "Now we'll do it again."

New Oil Paintings In Spooner-Thayer
Aaron Douglas, a Topeka-born colored artist, is displaying 24 oil painting in the north gallery of Spooner - Thayer museum. The paintings, which treat a variety of subjects, include portraits of still life, landscape and architectural material.
Douglas was formerly teacher of art at Lincoln high school in Kansas City, which he left in order to further his professional studies in New York and Paris.
His murals can be found in the Harlem Branch, New York public library, at Fisk University, at Bennett College, and at the Sherman hotel. He has illustrated "God's Trombone" by James Weldon Johnson and "Black Magic" by Paul Morand.
The exhibit in Spooner-Thayer comes from the Topeka community art center ad will remain until the last week of the month, when it will be sent to an army recreational center in Junction City.

In the fall of 1912, "Phog" became coach of all sports at Missouri State Teachers College, Warrensburg, where he began his phenomenal record of accumulating conference championships. He returned to the University as director of athletics and basketball coach in 1919, and has been here since that time.

The sobriquet of "Father of American Basketball Coaches" was bestowed upon Dr. Allen by Dr. James Naismith, founder of the game, and a member of the University of Kansas staff for 40 years. Dr. Naismith contended that "you can't coach basketball, you just play it." His celebrated disciple brought much fame to Mt. Oread anc to himself

The doctor received his nickname "Phog" as an umpire in baseball. Someone said his voice sounded like a fog horn, a newspaper man took it up, and supplied the freak spelling. The nickname has stuck, and is as much a part of the great cage mentor's makeup as his ability to corner championships.

Tonight's clash a t Stillwater should be tops from a tactical stand-point. While both the Aggies and Sooners lack the natural playing talent of the hand-picked Kansas and Creighton clubs, each is splendidly-coached and smart enough to know without being prompted from the bench, what to try to do when the enemy changes from a man-to-man defense to a zone, or vice versa. Aggies Have More Veterans
The Aggies have far more seniority with four of their five regulars, Lonnie Eggleston, J. T. Newman, Bud Millikan and Jackie Taylor, playing their final season under Iba. However, the Sooners will have the advantage in height and weight although the slender Aggies are noted for their ferocious rebounding. With no seniors on their squad.
The two teams return to Norman next Thursday for the second clash and the final game on each squad's regular schedule.

Joan Basore, Delta Gamma candidate, was crowned Queen of the Hobnail Hop at the annual engineering ball held last night in the Memorial Union ballroom.
Miss Basore, College sophomore, was crowned by Dick Lee president of the Engineering Council, before intermission, and presented with a slide rule to wield as scepter. Dutch Hollands and
The queen was elected from a list of 11 candidates submitted by the I.S.A. and social sororities. Pictures of the potential queens were exhibited Friday in Marvin hall for engineers to observe and cast their votes accordingly.
Service Frat Joins Victory Book Drive
Dutch Hollands and his band from Kansas City provided the music for the dancers and a special musical introduction to the coronation.
Preceding the ball members of Sigma Tau and Tau Beta Pi, engineering fraternities, entertained their dates in an annual joint banquet in the Kansas room at 6:30 p.m.
Lewis Medlin, president of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, said yesterday that the organization had adopted a plan to aid the collection of books for the Victory book campaign.
Boxes in which students may leave their books will be placed in Fraser hall, the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, and in Marvin hall.
Members of the fraternity will contact all organized houses to ask them to cooperate with the program. The faculty members need no persuasion, as they donated a large part of the books already turned in.
Books will be collected from the boxes and taken to Watson library. The reserve and periodical desks are still taking books for the campaign. From Watson library, the books are taken to the city library, where they are prepared for shipment. Charles M. Baker, director of University libraries and vicechairman of the Victory book campaign in Lawrence, said that more than 400 books have been shipped to Ft. Leavenworth, and that about 500 more are at the city library awaiting shipment.
Plans for the presentation of Benn Levy's comedy, "Mrs. Moonlight," have been changed by the department of speech and drama because of conflicting dates with the lecture by Vincent Sheean, Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama and director of the staged reading announced yesterday.
"Mrs. Moonlight" Schedule Changed
The program for season ticket holders will be presented as scheduled at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow in the little theater in Green hall. The presentation for activity ticket holders, however, has been changed from Tuesday night to 8:20 Thursday night. The place of the reading will be the same.
The presentation of the staged reading is a new experiment for the department of speech and drama. The play which has been cut to approximately one hour will, be read in the manner of a radio production, Professor Crafton explained.
The play is the story of a middle-aged woman, Mrs. Sarah Moonlight, who, when she sees old age approaching, wishes that she might never grow old, especially in appearance. The plot develops around this wish when it is putted.

On the Blue Parking Space At Hospital
Visitors at Watkins Memorial hospital no longer need fear the little red tickets which result from parking "on the orange." The part of the hospital-front circle which is nearest the hospital entrance has been painted blue, and six parking spaces have been marked off for visiting cars.
A. D. Schick, campus policeman, announced yesterday that students will be allowed to park in the blue-curb spaces while they are visiting patients in the hospital, but those who park there and go away to class will be given tickets just as if they had parked in totally restricted zones.

An orange space has been left directly in front of the hospital entrance for unloading. Any car parked in that space at any time will be eligible for a parking ticket, Schick said.

Slide Rule Members Partied With Hop and Banquet
Dutch Holland's Band Played for Hobnailers
Last night the engineering students celebrated with their annual Hobnail Hop in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building, which was decorated in St. Patrick colors of green and white and a slide rule hanging high and in the place of honor.
Tau Beta Pi's and Sigma Tau's, members of the honorary engineering fraternities, brought their dates for an early gathering and banqueting in the Kansan room and at 9 o'clock over two hundred engineers and their dates congregated in the ballroom for the semi-formal party to make merry, and to dance to the music of Dutch Holland's orchestra from Kansas City, Mo. The
high peak of the Hop occurred just before intermission with the crowning of the "slide rule queen",—Delta Gamma, Joan Basore.
Last night was the night for the engineers to howl and most of the slide rule members took advantage of it.

By FOREST HASHBARGER
Hippocrates was the first to take medicine out of the realm of magic and bring it down to earth. Ignoring the gods, he believed it necessary to consider the disease as a part of nature, and to study it from that standpoint. Born about 460 B. C., history records that he lived a hundred and ten years. The oath which modern doctors take before beginning their practice is the one he set forth, the Hippocratic oath.

Have you ever wondered about the origin of the names decorating the front of Watkins hospital? One girl's parents did. As their daughter was showing them around the campus, they asked her why the names were there. After thinking it over for a moment, she came up with this profound explanation, "I think those are the names of the people who

Pasteur, whose name is one of the widest known, first discovered the place of bacteria in fermentation. The practice of sewing the edges of wounds together was started by Pare, surgeon to Napoleon, Emperor of France. The use of serums and vaccination was first discovered and successfully tried by Jenner. Chloroform was used as an anesthetic until Long introduced the use of ether. Not a thought was given to cleanliness in surgery until Lister devised his antiseptic methods. Os-

Sportin' Around by Chuck Elliott
Kansas did its part Friday night in trying to make more definite its claim to represent the Fifth District in the N.C.A.A. playoffs. It was the first game during this season and probably the first tilt in a long while that "Phog" Allen has gone through the entire 40 minutes with his original starting line-up without making at least one substitution.
Undoubtedly Allen was trying to make an impressive showing to further the Jayhawkers' hopes of entering into post-season play. Of course, Allen has stated that personally he didn't care about competing in the N.C.A.A. tournament but he added that if the players wished to compete and they gained the sanction of the University's athletic board then he would gladly forget his own wishes and do all he could to win the meet.

Another reason for running up such a score in the game was the fact that the opposing coach, George Edwards, is also chairman of the N.C.A.A. committee for this district to select the region's representative. If Edwards didn't get an eyeful during the last 30 minutes of that game and believe that Kansas has the strongest team in the Valley then it doesn't seem likely that anything could convince him of the fact.
With the Oklahoma Aggies defeating the Oklahoma Sooners last night, 27 to 19, it practically knocked the boys from Norman out of any consideration whatsoever. Kansas would undoubtedly have received the call from the Big Six under all considerations except one. And that lone possibility was that the Sooners defeat the Stillwater Cowboys in both of their games. But last night's Aggie victory took away all Sooner hopes.
Not only did the defeat remove N.C.A.A. chances for Oklahoma but probably made Bruce Drake feel a little silly. About 10 days ago over a score of teams across the nation received "feelers" from Ned Irish and his committee relative to their availability and interest in competing in the Madison Square Garden Invitational Basketball tournament in New York this month. In this district Kansas, Oklahoma, Creighton, and Oklahoma A. and M. were among the teams to receive such a notice. It was not a bid just a query.
Drake must have been quite enthused about the project for he immediately wrote all schools in the Big Six asking them if they would give his team permission to enter the tournament if officially invited. "I needn't tell you," he said to Dr. Allen, "what a trip and recognition like that would mean to a coach."
About five o'clock Friday night, however, Oklahoma's chances for the trip were jolted quite severely and by the time the game was over at Stillwater they must have been dashed to bits. For late Friday afternoon Allen received a long-distance phone call from Ned Irish asking him if he would bring his team to New York and play in the tournament.
All expenses would be paid and an additional $600 would be given for every game the Jayhawkers won. Alien refused on the grounds that it was against the Big Six rules which do not allow any post-season games except those which might be in the N.C.A.A. tournament. Later he commented that he thought every school which was a member of the N.C.A.A. should be loyal enough to that organization, in spite of its many shortcomings, to attend the tournament which the schools themselves are supporting.
Colorado was another team which officially received an invitation to compete in the New York tournament and would have gone gladly except for a similar ruling with the Big Seven. When Colorado polled the members of the conference they refused to give the Buffaloes permission to go to New York and now it leaves the N.C.A.A. with two teams definitely entered in the Western Division.
By asking Kansas to be this district's representative in the New York tourney, Ned Irish revealed that he thought the Jayhawkers the best team in the region. If such a smart business and basketball man as Irish recognizes the true greatness of the Kansas team then surely the Fifth District committee could not go wrong by picking the Jayhawks to the N.C.A.A. representative from this locale.

Kansas Wins Co-Title
Entire Team Scores Well In Triumph
Changing in the first 10 minutes from a bunch of cock prima donnas to a gang of serious minded cagers, the University of Kansas Jayhawkers made Tiger fur fly all over Hoch auditorium Friday night as they lambasted the Missouri Bengals 67 to 44 to run up the biggest score in the Big Six this season.
The victory gave the Kansans a tie with Oklahoma for the Big Six title, both teams having won eight games and lost two. This is the tenth championship for Kansas in the 14 years of the Big Six conference. Six of the titles have been undisputed and the other four were co-championships.
Scoring Record Accomplished
Another record established by the Kansas last night was the total number of points which they have scored in 10 games. The total of 521 points gives Kansas an average of 52.1 points a game. The previous high was 46.2 points a game established in 1939 by Oklahoma. The best offensive record of Kansas before this season was 42.2 points a game in 1936.
One mark which the Jayhawkers did miss however was the high score for a single game, either as a Kansas team or as a member of the Big Six conference. The Big Six conference record stands at 68 points and was established by Oklahoma in 1934 against Kansas State. The Kansas record is also 68 points and was set in 1913 against Washburn, 68 to 8.
Entire Team Was Hot
Friday night's game brought about the most uniform scoring that any Kansas team has exhibited this year. Ralph "Cappy" Miller, who was playing his last basketball game before home fans and possibly his last intercollegiate tilt if Kansas is not invited to participate in the N.C.A.A. playoffs, led the Jayhawk scoring with 19 points. This gave him a season total of 152 points for an average of 15.2 points a game. Miller's 152 points made him high scorer for the conference this year.
Charlie Black was next in the scoring column with 14 points, all scored in the last half. This gave him a total of 128 points or second high in the Big Six. Black's game average is 12.8 points.

Ray Evans came through with his most sparkling performance of the year as he whipped the ball through the netting for 13 points. Evans' total of 58 points for the year gives him a 5.8 points a game average.
Mills Led Missouri Attack
John Buescher was next in line as he tallied 12 points on five field goals and two free throws. Buescher's Big Six average is 9.8 points a game which places him sixth in conference scorers who played the full season.
T. P. Hunter in scoring nine points against Missouri, scored over half as many points as he chalked up in nine previous games. His final average for Big Six play is 2.6 points a game.
Missouri's scoring was nearly as bunched as the Jayhawkers with three players separated by two points. Loren Mills, long-shot Tiger guard, plunked in six distant field goals for high point honors. Don Harvey, shifty little forward, caged four buckets and three free throws for 11 points and Herbie Gregg, diminutive scatman, dropped four goals and two free throws through the hoop before leaving the game on fouls with four minutes to play.
An Early Tiger Lead
Missouri started strong as Herbie Gregg connected from the corner, Loren Mills hit the first of his long shots, and Don Harvey sank a free throw on Buescher's foul. This gave the Tigers a 5 to 0 lead with five minutes played.
Miller scored the first Kansas points on a cripple set-up at six and one-half minutes. Gregg and Harvey dropped in free throws for a 7 to 1 lead and then Hunter made a charity toss. Harvey swished a

Hunter Puts Kansas Ahead
At this point the tide of the battle turned completely. Instead of being scared to death the Jayhawks settled down to play basketball as they knew how and as it should be played. Hunter flicked in a left hander and Buescher made a set-up at the 10-minute mark. Mills plunked in another long shot but Ray Evans matched it for Kansas.
With the score 11 to 9. Missouri, at 13 and one-half minutes, Hunter drove in for a set-up and was fouled by Stark. The basket counted, tying the score, and when the free throw was made Kansas went into its first lead.
From here on out the game was a rout, but it never got dull or uninteresting for a single moment. Missouri always provided a spark with Mills banging away constantly from center court and Gregg and Harvey whipping around in the front line to drop in occasional buckets.
All five of the Jayhawkers started hitting and the first half finished 22 to 15 in favor of Kansas. When the teams returned to the floor there was no question as to the outcome just the final score.
Charlie Black, who was held scoreless for 24 minutes, hit seven goals in the remaining time to pace the attack. Miller added 13 points in the last half. At 15 minutes the Jayhawks led 58 to 35 and could have made a new scoring record easily but instead settled down to a defensive game.

Ralph Miller, who was named to the first team at forward, was the most consistent offensive threat during the entire season of any player in the conference. He was held under 10 points in only two games (making eight and nine against Missouri and Iowa State) and finished as the individual scoring leader of the conference with a total of 152 points. In his last five games Miller averaged an even 20 points a game. Not only was he a great scorer but one of the finest floor men in the conference with his brilliant passing and dribbling. For his all-round ability, "Cappy" rates the honor of captain.
By CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
With the completion of any seasonal sport, it comes time to make an all-star selection. After watching Kansas play every team in the conference twice except Nebraska, a fairly definite opinion has been formed as to the relative merits of all the players in the 1942 Big Six basketball race.
Kansas and Oklahoma, co-titleholders for the year, dominate the selections on the first and second teams with four and three places respectively. Iowa State, a team of great potentialities but victim of upsets and close decisions, gains two members and Nebraska, the fourth place winner, completes the ranks with one performer.

The KANSAN Comments...
IF BRITAIN CHANGES HORSES
A late news dispatch from London indicates that Prime Minister Winston Churchill will probably soon be succeeded by the fleet dark horse of British politics, Sir Stafford Cripps.
Cripps, late ambassador to Russia, has led recent opposition to Churchill's government, an opposition so formidable as to cause the recent cabinet shake-up making Sir Stafford Lord Privy Seal.
If and when Socialist Cripps takes charge of the British Empire, we may expect to see a marked change in the war policy of Downing street.
As ambassador to Stalin, Sir Stafford, a leftist by nature, developed great admiration, or perhaps respect, for the Red government and army. He long urged joint Russo-British action against Hitler. As prime minister, it is probable that he would concentrate most English effort on aiding the Russians in their great battle, which he now considers the most pressing of all.
In fact, British aid to Stalin's army might even take the form of an attempted invasion of the Continent to balance the effect of Hitler's expected spring offensive. Such invasion, actually hinted by certain English spokesmen and the arrival of American troops in the Isles, would still British clamoring for offensive action and, if successful, would very greatly hamper Hitler in Africa and the Near East as well as in Russia.
Newly cultivated friendship and collaboration between the U.S.S.R. and Great Britain might affect America as well. Not only would an A.E. F. be used in any invasion attempt, but also we would be expected to extend considerable aid to Australia and New Zealand, who would, under these conditions, be turned over to us as our share in the world fight.
Perhaps an even more far-reaching effect would be the introduction of Russia as a new full-fledged partner into the London-Washington axis, which has taken the lead in planning a post-war world.
If so, Russia's form of government and prewar history would be a disturbing element, one bringing vast complications to men of vision peering into the future.—C.R.R.
---O--judgment. After all the average man in the new army has had two years of high school education and is hardly stupid.
THE ARMY'S NEW DISCIPLINE
Modern infantry fights with troops spread so widely that only radio-telephone can guide them. The sense of mass that bolstered courage in former armies is gone. Now small groups of men are on their own; but yet, there must be perfect teamwork.
The American general staff, after careful study, decided that army training for this war must develop understanding cooperation in our soldiers, rather than uncomprehending, robot behavior. Today, following this comparatively new idea, the army tells 'em why.
The "show 'em" method begins when recruits are taken for a lecture tour of exhibits of equipment. Later they are given lectures dealing with maneuvers, history, democracy and the war. Also, recruits see movies demonstrating everything from the pitching of a tent to the firing of an anti-aircraft gun.
Officers no longer yell at their men to get good results. The barking top sergeant with the big voice and little else is the vanishing American. In the new army, that officer rates best who can give a deft lesson in initiative and
"If you don't like the army, tell the general," is no longer a joke. Recently the War department gave a demonstration of respect for its soldiers' opinions unparalleled in the history of armies. It actually asked a typical group of fighting men questions that added up to: "How can we make you better soldiers and the army a better army?" The answers showed that the new army appreciates its officers' efforts to liberalize discipline and encourage teamwork.
Some civilians and officers feared that freer discipline would increase laxness. It hasn't.
As General Marshall sums it up, the object of the new discipline is "to produce a cheerful and understanding subordination of the individual to the good of the team." That is a good rule for every American to follow.—J.C.K.

You Said It
Editor, Daily Kansan,
Dear Sir:
Think twice before commenting on the present W.S.G.A. situation! Jumping to a conclusion which may easily be wrong is too common an occurance.
Why do I say this? Simply because an erroneous conception of the plan now before the Council seems to be prevalent.
Everyone wants student government—it is inherent in a democratic system—but no one want an unrepresentative student government. Everyone wants a just government but no one wants a totalitarian government. When a situation arises wherein only a minority of the students are represented in the government and wherein that representation is directed by a few—a change is necessary. This seems to be the present situation. A plan aimed to correct this difficulty is now before the W.S.G.A. Council.
This plan will not do away with student government. It will strengthen it by including the support of scattered independents and organized houses which have had little representation.
We all want a fair and just governing system and the adoption of one will show that we are capable of self-government. Let's think twice before we make unfavorable comment!
The faculty members on the committee for choosing nominees from those names submitted will not be a ruling group, but merely a stabilizing factor. Shouldn't cooperation between faculty and students be fostered?
Sincerely,
MARIAN HEPWORTH.

University Daily Kansan survey on "Who Would You Like to be Cast Away on a Desert Island With?", conducted among members of the faculty and student body of the department of journalism. Read your Kansan avidly next Sunday for a comprehensive survey on "Who Is The Ideal Companion to go Surveying in a Telephone Booth With?" conducted among members of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Question: With whom would you like to be cast away on island?
Answers: Richard Boyce, supervisor of newsroom and censor of University Daily Kanan: "Just any woman and a good crossword puzzle."
Wally Kunkel, advertising manager: "I'm not so hot about desert-irlands, but I wouldn't mind being marooned on Veronica lake."
Dean Sims, Kansan reporter covering Frank Strong hall: "The desi-
land idea sounds CK., but it has to be near Baxter Springs. I like the
design."
Virginia Tieman, reporter covering Green and Fraser halls: to be left out of this."
Milo Farneti, general hanger-on: "Katherine Hepburn, for the intellectual benefits derived therefrom"
John Harvey, no official capacity; "I would just be glad to be cast away... never mind the woman."
Joy Miller, reporter covering Marvin hall: "A black cat, and a shaw to put over my knees."
Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the department of journalism: "Mrs. Elmer F. Beth."
Verdun Daste, instructor of journalism: "The female side of the department of journalism, with the smallest man in the department for competition."
Saralena Sherman, society editor: "A real man . . . something I haven't seen for a long time."
Chuck Elliott, sports editor of the Kansan: "Well, when it comes to national figures, Lana Turner isn't so bad, but there are several girls on the Hill that might prove interesting."
A New Order--but the California novenna theme remains the same—the ultimate triumph of the little people over any force that opposed them.
Steinbeck Marches Off To War in Latest Book
In his latest novel, "The Moon is Down," John Steinbeck, famous for "Grapes of Wrath" and other yarns of the Dust Bowl and fruit orchards of southwestern United States, has marched off to the wars and based his story in a coal-mining village in German-occupied Norway.
The characters have been changed from anti-social Joads and half-witted peasants to Nazi soldiers and simple Norwegian folk, but the California novelist's $ ^{\textcircled{2}} $
The story begins when the German troops, aided by ambitious Quislings, move into the quiet village (it is not named in the story, nor is Norway specifically referred to, but there is no questioning the locality) and ends when the mayor and town historian are taken as hostages and shot because of an uprising of the villagers. But the real story is just beginning when the book ends, because the reader knows that battle
has been joined between the soldiers and the people, and must end only when one side is exterminated.
A Change of Face
For a change, Steinbeck abandons his typical trip-hammer realism and resorts to a restrained description and dialogue, which at times becomes almost poetical. The result is one of the best stories Steinbeck has yet produced, because the effect is created from the story itself and not from salty dialogue.
Good, intelligent reviewers have placed a propaganda tag on "The Moon is Down," but this writer can (continued to page eight)

Intramural Playoffs Start Tomorrow
Intramural basketball playoff activities will be launched in earnest tomorrow night with four "A" team games and two class "B" games scheduled for play. Starting off the week's activities will be Alpha Tauomega, Division I third place holder, and Carruth hall, Division III co-champions. The men of Carruth rate but a slight edge.
The 9 o'clock contest pits Newman I against Pi Kappa Alpha. Newman already holds one narrow decision over their rivals, but the victory was scored with the aid of several men ineligible for playoff competition. If Bill Atwell, Pi K. A. center who might not appear in intramural play, shows up the Pi K. A. squad will probably be slight favorites.
In 10 o'clock games Newman II and the Hell Hounds will be decided underdogs as they take the floor against Beta Theta Pi and Phi Gamma Delta, defending champions, respectively. Both the underdogs, however, feature wide-open attacks and anything can happen.
The "B" team games bring Phi Gamma Delta against Fhi Delta Theta at 8 o'clock, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon against Sigma Chi at 9 p.m.
Roundups of the nine teams competing in the playoffs, their strength, and their records follow.
PHI GAMMA DELTA
Once again it seems that it will be the field against the defending champion Fiji's. The Phi Gam's have two members from last year's team which ran rough-shod over all playoff opposition. In Larry McSpadden they have a brilliant ballhandler, and a fine scorer. Chain Healy is a steady center who made the All-Intramural squad last year, and in a single game this year rang up 31 points, second best of the season. Roscoe Hambric, John Conley, and Wallie Hinshaw are all experienced in playoff warfare. "Swede" Olson is probably the best reserve in intramural play this year. All in all, it looks like the opposition will have to be red-hot to down the Purple Machine. The Fiji's this year have won nine games, while losing one.
PHI KAPPA PSI
The Phi Psi's talented quintet already holds one win over the Fiji's, and will certainly be out to make it two straight. The task is far from impossible, for the Phi Psi's have three of intramural's top scorers on their starting lineup. Dazzling Bill Hodge, towering John Hallberg, and massive Steve Meade would certainly present a problem to any defense. John Krum also aids in the scoring, while Clayton Kyle holds down the other guard spot. John Glover is a capable freshman reserve. The Phi Psi's have also taken nine of their ten starts, to tie Phi Gamma Delta for the Division I championship. Their only loss was to Alpha Tau Omega.
ALPHA TAU OMEGA
A talented but erratic A.T.O. quintet depends very largely upon the unorthodox scoring of Jim Webb, a fine forward with a 10.7 scoring average. Webb is one of the hardest men to guard playing at Robinson gym this year. Aiding Webb is his mate at the other forward berth, Don Williams. Mark McLain is a capable center who controls more than his share of the rebounds. Biggest feathers in the A.T.O. cap are wins over the Phi Fsi's and Sigma Chi's. Their three losses have been to Acacia, Phi Gamma Delta, and Kappa Sigma.
NEWMAN I
Last year's runnerups have sacrificed speed for size this year, and at times the substitution has seemed to be fatal. Nevertheless the Clubmen came through to grab the undisputed Division II title. Best man on the quintet is Junius Penny, happy-go-lucky guard, who was the leading scorer of the division this year. He receives able scoring assistance from tall Al Hecht and Frank Rengel. Cliff Nordstrom and Paul Hardman are good defensive guards. Denzel Gibbens and Charles Johnson will also see considerable action. Missing this year will be Tony Coffin, super-guard. The Newman's only loss this year was to a hot Phi Delta Theta five.
The Beta's are definitely a sleeper who could easily come through. Built around Harlan Altman, finest ball-handler in intramurals, the Beta attack is torrid when right. It features Rans Bennett, intramural's "Cinderella man", who in one contest stuffed 33 tallies into the basket. John Fletcher and Jim Surface can also rack up the points, while Bob O'Neil assists Altman with the defensive chores. The Beta's were tripped by Newman I and Sigma Alpha Epsilon this year. A semi-finalist last year, the Beta's could easily go even farther this year.
· BETA THETA PI
PI KAPPA ALPHA
The Pi K. A. squad presents one of the best balanced rosters in intramural competition. However, there is a possibility that Bill Atwell, standout center, might not see action in the playoffs. His loss would be a definite blow to any Fi K. A. championships hopes, Bill Mathews and Joe Crawford, forwards, are both fine scorers. McCormick is an able guard, as are Vesper Sheeley and Jack Engle. With Atwell, the Pi K. A. team will go far. Without him they cannot without luck hope to dump many of the bigger boys. The team has lost this year only to Newman I and Beta Theta Pi.
HELL HOUNDS
Last year's playoff darkhorse, they rate the same spot this year. They are confident they can better last year's semi-final finish in spite of tougher opposition. Bob White is one of the finest defensive men playing this year, and also along with Donn Mosser can pile in the points. Seward Fleeson and Carl Unruh are other scoring threats. Jim Cordell, regular center, might be kept from the playoffs by a leg injury. If he is, his place will be taken by Clarence "Tiny" Peterson, 6 foot 4 inch reserve. The Hell Hounds this year dropped a single game to Newman II by one point.
CARRITH HALL
The Carruth men are probably the steadiest of the independent teams. Headed by Mac Frederick, a forward who can hold his own in any competition, the Carruth team has repeatedly run up heavy scores against its opponents. Glenn St. Aubyn is a guard who could play on anybody's team. Jack Doores, Ralph Anderson, and Wendell Link are other men to be reckoned with. The Carruth squad dropped its first game of the year to the scrappy Hell Hounds, then proceeded to finish the
Phi Delt's Retain "C" Title
Phi Delta Theta repeated yesterday morning as intramural basketball "C" champions with a close 32 to 30 triumph over Beta Theta Pi. It was the second straight Phi Delt playoff victory this year by a field goal margin, their other victory being by a 22 to 20 margin over Phi Gamma Delta.
A terrific second half Beta rally sparked by ace forward John Shelton, one of the top scorers of Division VI, almost erased a huge early Phi Delt lead. The winners had coated into a 22 to 5 lead at halftime. In the second half it was the Beta's all the way as they poured 25 points into the basket but their rivals were counting but ten.
Shelton's ten points gave him scoring honors for the game. Ralph Weir was the Phi Delt star as he continued Thursday night's semi-final
Jim Jenson and Jim Waugh also took a hand in the Phi Delt scoring with seven and six points respectively. Bob Woodbury, steady Phi Delt guard, turned in a fine defensive and ball-handling performance. John Kreamer was the Beta defensive standout. The game was rough with frequent fouls being called.
pace by connecting with wired shots from all angles. The unorthodox forward contributed 10 points to the winners' total.
The defending champions win went down in the record books as an upset, since the Phi Delt's went into the playoff as the only entry having lost more than one game in regular season play. Thursday night they defeated the Phi Gamma Delta "C" squad in an overtime period. The Beta's had won their way into the finals by handing the Phi Kappa Psi "C" team its first defeat of the season.

NEWMAN II
Newman II boasts two of intramural's highest scorers, scampering forward Don Graham and center Bob Bell. Around these two men rotates the fortune of the team. The guardsmen are definitely not up to par with last year's fine defensive stars. Nevertheless the squad has shown spurts of play that would worry any opposition. Greatest need, in addition to more defensive power, is better-balance. The Newman

Allen Honored At Scholarship Dinner Friday
Honoring Dr. F. C. Allen on his completion of 25 years as basketball coach at the University, a group of his former players and close friends Friday night announced the establishment of the F. C. Allen scholarship for worthy and needy students.
The scholarship was announced Friday night at a dinner in Dr. Allen's honor. Following the dinner, Dr. Allen was presented with a leather - and - oak bound book of reminiscences and letters from about 300 friends and former players.
In thanking his friends, Dr. Allen promised to work harder than ever out of gratitude for the tribute paid him. He then reminded his friends that a student's main object in attending the University was to get and education, not to play basketball. He also expressed pleasure that so many of his former players had achieved success since leaving the University.
Before the game in Hoch auditorium, Chancellor Deane Malott introduced Dr. Allen to the spectators. Representatives of the freshman basketball squad then presented Dr. Allen with a bicycle tire and a bottle of linemin in recognition of his interest in cycling. Ralph Miller of the basketball squad presented gifts to Dr. and Mrs. Allen on behalf of the squad. Balfour Jeffry of Topeka, a member of the team from 1926 to 1928, then announced the establishment of the F. C. Allen scholarship. Approximately $750 has been collected for the scholarship which will go into effect in ten years when the defense bonds to be purchased will mature.
Dr. Allen's 25 years of coaching at the University have not been consecutive. He first coached the basketball team in 1908 and 1909; he returned in 1919 and has remained ever since.
Four members of the 1908 and 1909 teams were present Friday night. They were D. C. Martindell of Hutchinson, V. V. Long of Oklahoma City, and Dr. Milton Miller and Will J. Miller, both of Topeka.
N.C.A.A. Chairman—
(continued from page one) was unanimous in favor of competing. Edwards then said, "From what I've been reading in the papers, I thought you boys didn't want to go to the N.C.A.A." John Buescher, K. U. star, quickly retorted, "Mr. Edwards, you surely don't believe everything you read in the papers, do you? There is nothing we would rather than play in the N.C.A.A."
Mr. Edwards went on to say that the outcome of the two Oklahoma-Oklahoma Aggie games had a direct bearing on the committee's choice. The Aggies won the first game Friday night 27 to 19.
"What the committee wants is the best team representing this district in Kansas City, and Kansas certainly rates high among the contenders," said the Missouri coach, adding that, "we might have the Missouri Valley team play Kansas or we might just flip a coin. If a playoff is conducted instead of a committee choice, Creighton and the Oklahoma Aggies would clash, with the winner tangling with Kansas. However, should the Aggies beat Oklahoma both games, there is a possibility the committee might vote them in without a playoff."
Kansas downed Creighton 53-49 and split with the Aggies, winning 31-28 in Lawrence, and then losing at Stillwater 33-40.
WAR OBSERVER
(continued from page one)
American army and navy officials in the Philippines, Guam, Wake, Midway, and Hawaii, and can thus present his audience an up-to-the minute report on the latest developments in this arena of the war.
Among all the important figures he met and interviewed on his recent swing through the Far East, his meeting with Mme. Sun Yat-Sen, widow of the leader of the Chinese Revolution, was the most memorable.
This Chinese lady, in whose husband's name and for whose principles all factions in China profess to work, now lives in comparative obscurity and silence. Sheean found in her a symbol of a new and more democratic China which he believes will emerge from the present chaos and tragedy.
"She is," he says, "one Chinese
who can never be conquered or subdued. Her fidelity to her husband's principles is a rock; her love of China an ever-fixed mark."
Like her equally famous sister, Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek, Mme. Sun-Yat-Sen was educated in America and remembers her life here with great pleasure.
Sheean also visited the Chiang Kai-Sheks, interviewed the generalissimo on the military and political situation in China and stayed to have tea with him and his famous wife.
Visits the Chiang Kai-Sheks
The Chiang Kai-Shek house is comfortable, although not the largest in Chungking. Visitors are received in what used to be the generalissimo's study; it is now used as a living room, not large but comfortably furnished.
During his interview with the Generalissimo, Mme. Chiang Kai-shek sat beside her husband in an arm chair drawn up before an open fire. It was conducted through an official interpreter, but Mme. Chiang aided occasionally when the right word seemed to be lacking.
When the interview, which was given privately but in conjunction with one of the rare mass press interviews the generalissimo gives the foreign press, all the foreign correspondents were served tea.
"The tea occurred." Mr. Sheean recalls, "with most welcome amplitude. There was a small chocolate cake which I shall remember for a long time. Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek, slender and beautiful in an embroidered Chinese dress, talked with vivacity to a succession of correspondents and then, when we all subsided into chairs, the generalissimo read a prepared statement on China's war and China's relation to the Russian, British and American war efforts.

There are really two conquered peoples in the story; the Norwegians, conquered by traitors and submachine guns, and the Nazi soldiers, conquered by a man with crazy, impossible ideas, and the conquest of the soldiers has been more complete.

dislike the idea of killing. Still, their minds are chained by a theory they sometimes refuse to believe but continue to carry out.
matic spot of the story is when one of the German officers, driven to the point of hysteria by the quiet but deadly resistance of the villagers, raves about files conquering two hundred miles of new flypaper.
Soldiers Are Humans
Steinbeck is to be complimented on the fact that he does not portray the German soldiers as hulking, animal-like creatures with close-cropped heads and saber-scarred features. They are human beings, and like all human beings in a foreign land, talk of home, and paste pictures, you know what kind, on the wall, and
There are no pauses in movement or weak spots in the 188 pages of "The Moon is Down." It is easy reading, and quick reading, but at the same time a story that will, or should be remembered long after some of the so-called human documents, that run on at length and finish having said nothing, are forgotten. For everybody's library, we should like to recommended "The Moon is Down," Viking Press, New York, 1942.

No Kansan Tomorrow
Beginning this week, the University Daily Kansan changes its publication schedule to four days a week. The Wednesday issue will be discontinued for the remainder of this semester.
☆ ☆ ☆
Rising costs of material and labor and the paper shortage have forced the reduction in number of issues. In this matter the Daily Kansan is not alone. Other college and university newspapers have already found it necessary to decrease the frequency of their issues, and many national magazines have either cut down the size of their publications or increased the price.
The staff and governing board of the Daily Kansan regret that war-time conditions have necessitated this adjustment.
Ken Jackson, Publisher
☆ ☆ ☆
Because of the paper shortage and the rising prices of materials and labor the Kansan Board, governing body of the University Daily Kansan voted last night to discontinue the Wednesday issue of the paper.
Both the Sunday issue and the Wednesday issue were under consideration but it was decided to drop the Wednesday in order not to leave a long break between Friday and Tuesday without a student newspaper.
Many other college papers have been forced to decrease the size of their publications or to drop one or two of their issues per week. The University of Minnesota daily has been reduced from an 8-page paper to a 4-page paper, and the Kansas State paper has changed the number of issues per week from three to two.
Three advertising assistants are needed to collect and compose retail advertising for the University Daily Kansan. Valuable experience will be gained. Applicants need not be advertising majors to obtain the positions. Application must be filed in the advertising office before noon Saturday, March 14.
Houses to Display Flags Honor Men in Service
The defense committee of the Men's Student Council is sponsoring a program to equip men's organized houses on the Hill with service flags to honor members who are serving in the armed forces of the United States, Verlyn Norris, representative of the defense committee, announced today.
The idea of the service flag is to display a star for each member of the house who has joined the army or navy. Members serving in the armed forces within the country will get a white man serving outside the $ \textcircled{2} $
star, men serving outside the U.S. will be represented by a silver star, and men who die in service to their country will be represented by a gold service star.
The service flags will be displayed today or tomorrow in the Memorial Union building.
The flags are in the shape of a shield and are red, white, and blue in color. The small size flag will hold 15 stars and the large flag will hold 30 stars.
Houses wishing to purchase flags should contact Norris.
The price of both flags is $3 and the stars are included in the original price of the flag. Additional stars will be provided as they are needed.
Journalist Sheean to Give Low-Down on War World
a historical novel, "Pieces of a Fan," a collection of short stories, and "Day of Battle," a story of a historical conflict in which the French gained a victory over the English in 1745—all of which were praised by literary critics.
Vincent Sheean, world famous journalist, news-analyst, and author, speaks tonight in Hoch auditorium at 8:20. His subject will be "A War Commentary."
Returns to War Front
But, meanwhile, war excitement was flaming higher than ever before, Rome's legions were marching in Ethiopia, Spain had become a battlefield and Hitler was at last prepared to launch his juggernaut. Still, Vincent Sheean stuck to his desk, resolved to go on writing fiction. With the completion of his manuscript for "A Day of Battle," in January of 1938, however, he could no longer resist the urge to see once more history at first hand and sailed for Spain.
From Spain he went to Austria and from Austria into Germany and
what was then Czechoslovakia. He covered the Nazi march into Sudetenland and his broadcast from Prague challenging the validity of certain Hitler's claims was an international sensation.
Sheean, author of "Personal History" and "Not Peace but a Sword," is one of the most colorful correspondents of modern times. When, in 1935, he married Diana Forbes-Robertson, youngest daughter of Sir Johnston Forbes - Robertson, the noted British actor, he said goodbye to wars and settled down in a cottage on what was then the peaceful cliffs of Dover to write fiction.
He was determined to forget the excitement of covering such military events as the Rhineland Separatist War, revolt among the Riffi, the beginnings of the Chinese revolution, and his various other sensational newspaper "scoops." From his typewriter, there did come "San Felice."
After the Munich settlement Sheean went back into Germany and saw for himself the persecutions of Jews which followed the Grynspan shooting of Vom Rath at the Germany Embassy in Paris. He then returned to Spain and witnessed the fall of Catalonia. He was one of the first to see the war in Spain as simply a prelude to the conflict which followed and said so in widely-quoted interviews upon his return to New York.
In 1940 Mr. Sheean again returned to Europe, arriving in Paris three days before the German invasion of the West. After the collapse of

Charley's Aunt Postponed To April 6,7,10
Dates for the presentation of "Charley's Aunt," comedy by Brandon Thomas, have been changed from March 16 to April 6,7,and 10. Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech and director of the play, announced today. The three full performances of the play will be presented in Fraser theater.
Although a cast was announced for the production several weeks ago, some changes have been made and the final list of names will not be released until later in the week, Professor Calderwood said.
The play which centers around the early dramatic theme of mistaken identity, was first produced in 1892. Although it is not a new play, it has remained popular from the beginning and has been revived by many production companies in the last two years.
The hall will be run on a cooperative basis as it is during the regular session, all housework and expenses being shared equally by the women in residence there.
Women's Dormitory Stays Cooperative For Summer School
Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women, announced yesterday a new set-up for the operation of Miller hall, cooperative dormitory for women, during the 12-week summer session.
"Women will be selected to live in the hall on the basis of their economic need and on their interest in cooperative living." Miss Meguiar stated.
American Speech Meet Tomorrow
Serving as host for the district contest in the Intercollegiate Conference on "Inter-American Affairs," the University will be represented by eight speakers in the competition Wednesday afternoon and evening. The contest for the Kansas district is being sponsored by the new federated discussion club which has been formed by combining the campus discussion groups with the M.S.C.-W.S.G.A. Forums Board.
Added to the students who participated in the warm-up contest last week and who will take part in the speaking event are Bob Plumb, college junior, and Russell Baker, business senior. Others entered in the district meeting are Orville Wright, college senior; John Waggoner, college junior; Cecilia Gonalces, special student in the college; Margaret Yearout, college senior; Grier Stewart, college senior; and Merrill Peterson, college junior. Stewart, Waggoner, and Peterson were classed as the three top-ranking speakers in the warm-up contest.
Schools which have made definite plans to participate in the local contest are Ottawa, Bethany, Hays Teachers College, and Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg. Five candidates from each college or university are allowed to participate in the event plus one for every thousand or fraction thereof students above 3,000 enrolled.
Mr. Hitt's successor is Dr. Laurence Woodruff, a member of the University teaching staff since 1928. Dr. Woodruff received his bachelor's degree from the University in 1924 and his master's here in 1930. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1934.
Five judges will select two winners from the final groups to represent Kansas in one of the six regional contests. District conference winners will be presented with an engraved fountain pen for first prize and an engraved mechanical pencil for second place.
While in attendance at this University, Hitt was a Summerfield scholar and a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

Curfew and War Time Effect Steak Frys and Picnics
Steak frys and picnics are not as popular as they have been in former years at this time. The spring weather has had its effect on Mt. Oread men and women, moving them to make friends with Dan Cupid once more, but closing hours and the new war time have intervened. Early evening hours, up until the 10:30 curfew, are still like daylight. Minds have been turned toward picnic spots and Potter's lake—"but so what?" Kansans cry.

Experiment in Drama Considered A Success
BY VIRGINIA TIEMAN
Presenting costumes, actions, and scenery of the late 1800's to an audience only by reading, the cast giving the staged reading of "Mrs. Moonlight" in the little theater of Green hall last night for season ticket holders marked up another success for the department of speech and drama
the department of speech and drama.
A new experiment for the departments, the staged reading of the play proved that the attention of an audience could be held. that humor and suspense $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
play proved that the at held, that humor and suspense could be kept in the play, and that a staged reading will probably be one of the forthcoming steps in drama presentations.
Sitting behind a waist-high railing of maroon curtains, the readers stood up when the character they were portraying entered the action of the sentimental comedy. Their actions, the way they entered the rooms, and their characteristics in the play were shown only by their facial expressions and their voices. Brevity No Drawback
The humor of the play was not killed, and even though the reading was cut to approximately an hour, the plot had unity throughout. Reading action into the play in a nonchalant and informal manner, James Barton, instructor of speech, took the stiffness common to most staged readings out of the presentation.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, showed his ability by bringing about a change in his age from 40 years to 90 years with only his voice. In the role of Minnie, Scotch housekeeper; Jessica Crafton, wife of professor Crafton, put over to the audience the idea of the strict and domineering devotion she had for the family.
Reola Durand, college junior, was well cast in the role of Sarah Moon-light, a woman whose wish to remain young in appearance all her life came true. Speaking for a middle aged single woman in love with her sister's husband, Virginia Davis, college freshman, represented the character with appropriate tones. Timidity Brings Laughs
The bashful, trembling, and timid Percy Middling was represented by Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama. His timid expressions, soft, carefully chosen speeches, added to the humor of the play. Kenneth Jackson, college senior, exploded into the quiet sweetness of the play with his buoyant interpretation of Willie Ragg, a good-for-nothing admirer of the Moonlight daughter. Constance Moses, college sophomore, was the well-chosen reader for the role of Jane Moonlight, and Dan Bachmann, college freshman, added his part in the role of the young Middling son, Peter.
The performance of "Mrs. Moonlight" will be repeated at 8:20 p.m. Thursday in the little theater in Green hall for the activity ticket holders. The same cast will read the roles. Professor Crafton is the director of the staged reading performance.

Prehistoric Sea Bird Swam Where Kansas Lies
The expression "scarce as hen's teeth" would have had little meaning during the Cretaceous period, which began about 135,-000,000 years ago. Remains of the Hesperornis, a Cretaceous bird with teeth, were found a short time ago in Logan county, Kansas, and are now on exhibit in Dyche museum.

Gun turrets on bombers now in use by all belligerent nations are made to revolve and go up and down by levers. Hydraulic controls are so sensitive that a trained gunner holding the gun rigid, can pattern his name just by touching the levers.
This forms one of the final tests for quanners. A pencil is stuck in the end of the gun, and he is told to write his autograph.
Current information uncovered by Universal's research department indicates that equipment such as this gives the bomber the upper hand in all battles.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
It seems that not only are the basketball teams and coaches of Oklahoma and Kansas rivaling each other this year to a spirited extent but also the sports page of The Oklahoma Daily is interested in a combat of words with this column.
The latest of the outbursts occurred in The Oklahoma Daily of last Friday in a reply to the accusations hurled at Bruce Drake in Tuesday's Daily Kansan.
It was a very good outburst on the part of the Oklahomaan, too. That is, it was good for the first 60 per cent. Then the writer should have quit. Previous to that time it was quite a logical defense of Drake from a Sooner's point of view. But the last 40 per cent was extremely stupid indeed and left a very insipid taste in any reader's mouth.
Since only a few on this campus have had a chance to read the article it might be well to analyze the "Boomer Sooner" drivel and let everyone know just the type of senseless bric-a-brac which the Sooner school is dispersing.
In the very first paragraph the Sooner shows the core of his dissension. The Oklahoma claims that last Tuesday's column was "a tirade against the sportsmanship and integrity of one of the finest gentlemen in sports, Bruce Drake."
So Bruce Drake is the pinnacle of sportsmanship and integrity is he? Then hand me a lemon quick! If Drake is such a high and honorable character then why does he allow certain of his players to exhibit a few of their childish habits while on the court? It's a sure thing that these little incidents didn't happen while Hugh McDermott was coaching the Sooners because he wouldn't stand for them. And they wouldn't be happening now if Drake would put his foot down but instead these acts probably remind him of his days with the Oklahoma City A.A.U. team to such an extent that he actually enjoys and encourages it.
And furthermore, if Drake is such a gentleman why was it that the young Sooner coach was warned by George Edwards, Missouri coach, and other Big Six cage mentors at a meeting of conference coaches a year ago to watch his tactics in the future. If Edwards, one of the most highly respected and proficient basketball coaches in the country, would be annoyed to the extent that he would caution Drake not only as to his coaching tactics but also as to the attitudes his players revealed on the floor, then surely Drake must have a few faults which are not conducive to the highest ethics of intercollegiate athletics.
Quoting further from the Daily Oklahoman concerning Drake's refusal to supply the Kansas team with two good basketballs, "Now why this is a crime I don't know. It seems likely that Allen had in his possession two new balls if he was able to supply Drake with some at Lawrence so it wasn't a serious blow to Kansas' chances if the Sooners did withhold the ball. It's funny, but it wasn't until they returned to Lawrence with a bad defeat that the Kansans realized they had been victimized by the smart Oklahoma coach."
To dispose of this weak retort rather quickly, it might be well to inform the Sooners that traveling teams seldom if ever carry their own basketballs with them. The reason for this is that the host team always furnishes the game ball and consequently the visiting team likes to warm up with a ball of the same make that they will use in the game. Oklahoma uses a Rawlings Lastbilt milded ball whereas the Jayhawks use a Spalding laceless stitched ball. In addition, the Sooner writer intimates that it was an intentional move to withhold the basketballs which substantiates our first impression.
"The Sooners left little doubt about their superiority Friday night and for the Jayhawks to accept an N.C.A.A. bid on that point would be a travesty on the Big Six.
Up to this point the Oklahoma writer had a pretty fair article and it would have passed without rebuttal, probably even being justified from a Sooner's point of view. But then when he continued in such a idiotic vein it merely emphasized that the entire article was so much bosh.
"Besides, if Allen steps aside now it might save him the humiliation of losing another game to the Sooners this season. The only time the two teams met on an equal basis the Sooners won, and it is only reasonable to believe it can be repeated."
So what. So what can a mere onlooked believe except to surmise that the players' attitudes display the teachings of their coach. It looked that way to all non-Sooner fans and cast more of a reflection upon the school than it does upon the individuals themselves.
My but that sounds impressive. And all to no avail for it happens that the Jayhawks will have the chance to uphold the dignity of the Big Six and I (continued to page five)
The next thing that the Oklahoma columnist chooses to support is the actions of the Oklahoma players while out on the floor. And yet during the game the referees warned the Oklahoma players to cut out some of their little side-play antics. Once again Drake could and should have stopped this for in the Big Six rules it states that "coaches are to do everything in their power to stop anything off-color among the players."
To quote: "Incidentally, let me recommend that Allen follow the precedent of Glen Rose of Arkansas, who stepped aside to let Rice represent the South-west conference in the N.C.A.A. because he thought the Owls could uphold the league honor better than the injury-ridden Razorbacks.

BY DON KEOWN
Intramural basketball fans will have an opportunity at 9:15 o'clock tonight to witness an encore to last year's final playoff championship series when Newman I and the defending champion Phi Gamma Delta quintet clash. Both squads will take the floor at full strength, and it's anybody's guess as to the outcome. At stake will be a position in this year's championship series.
The Newman men will be out to avenge the two straight contests they dropped last year to the champions in the final playoff games. The Phi Gam's took the hotly-contested tilts 46 to 38, and 31 to 26. In tonight's other contest, Carruth hall will attempt to upset the highly regarded Phi Kappa Psi aggregation at 7:30.
Penny Leads Newman
Last night the Newman team gave its most impressive exhibition of the year as it administered a 34 to 21 whipping to a good Pi Kappa Alpha team. The Pi K. A. squad, playing without regular center Bill Atwell, were never in the game, trailing 18 to 10 at halftime.
Junius Penny, Newman sparkplug, gave an amazing demonstration of sharpshooting from the free throw area as he connected with 14 points. Most of Penny's tallies came on his unstoppable two-handed jump shot, as he connected with well over half his tries. Al Hecht, tall Newman center, also turned in a good game. Jack Engel took scoring honors for the losers with seven points.
Phi Gam's Nearly Lose
A valiant fighting band of under-rated Hell Bounds gave the Phi Gam's all they could handle for three periods, but when two regulars fouled out in the final quarter the Division III team fell apart and lost 39 to 2. The halftime score was 11 to 7 in favor of the winners, who had overcome an early Hell Hound lead. However, the Hell Hounds came back strong in the third quarter to take the lead twice, but trailed 22 to 20 at the end of that period.
Two members of the underdog five—Bob White and Donn Mosser—stole the spotlight from the mighty Fiji's. White proved once again that he is one of intramural's finest defensive men, if not the best, as he held Larry McSpadden, the Phi Gam's dangerous forward, goalless during the three periods he guarded him. Mosser kept his squad in the game offensively with some fine long range shooting, counting for 13 points.
Chain Healy was the Phi Gam
standout as the big Fiji played a great floor game, and took scoring honors for his team with 11 points. The Hell Hounds were also eliminated from last year's playoffs by the Phi Gam's in the semi-finals. Beta's Have Close Call
Beta Theta Pi had unexpected trouble in nosing out Newman II 28 to 27. The Newman quintet finished fast to throw a scare into their highly-favored opponents.
Rans Bennett continued his high-scoring activities for the winners by collecting 14 points. He received able assistance with the scoring chores from John Fletcher, his running mate at forward. Harlan Altman was a defensive standout for the Beta's.
The Newman II scoring duo of Don Graham and Bob Bell divided 14 points evenly between them. The game was rough with neither team showing exceptional form.
A fighting Carruth hall quintet managed to hold on to an early lead and dropped the Alpha Tau Omega squad from tournament competition, 28 to 24. The winners held a 15 to 10 lead at halftime.
ATO's Drop Out
Mac Frederick, Carruth ace, continued to find the basket regularly as he dumped in 13 points for his team. Two team-mates, Glenn St. Aubyn and Frank Anderson, aided him with the scoring. The Carruth defense stopped Dick Webb, flashy
A. T.O. forward, and the burden of the loser's scoring fell on the shoulders of big Mark McLain, who accounted for seven tallies.
Anderson, who hit three field goals during the game and turned in some fine ball handling for Carruth, was injured by a fall in the fourth quarter and had to leave the court. Phi Dell's Look Powerful
The Phi Delta Theta "B" team walked over the Phi Gamma Delta "B" squad in surprisingly easy fashion 30 to 12. It was never a contest as the Phi Deltos scored at will. The winners held their opponents to three points in the first half while they rang up 15.
Clint Kanaga and Dean Huebert led the winners with ten points each. Vincent Tharp was the Phi Gam standout.
In last night's other class "B" game, Sigma Chi scored an easy 34 to 19 win over Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Craig Howes, Sigma Chi star, took scoring honors for the game with 15 points. Earl Musser and Jerry Ewers were the Sig Alph troublemakers.
The Phi Delt and Sigma Chi "B" teams are scheduled to clash Thursday at 7:30 to decide the class "B" championship. The Sigma Chi's are defending champions.
Support your team—plan to attend the K. U.-Oklahoma A. & M. game next Tuesday in Kansas City.

Kansas Plays A&M in NCAA Prelim
5th District Team Named Next Tuesday
The University of Kansas Jayhawkers have accepted an invitation to meet Oklahoma A. and M. in a playoff game to determine which team will represent the Fifth district in the N.C.A.A. tournament according to Dr. H. H. King, of Kansas State College, chairman of the N.C.A.A. fifth district basketball selective committee.
Kansas is the Big Six conference leader and Oklahoma A. and M. and Creighton University of Omaha are tied for leadership of the Missouri Valley conference. Dr. King said that he understood that Creighton has $ ^{ \textcircled{2}} $
elected to play in the New York tournament in Madison Square Garden, thus stepping out of the N.C.A.A. competition.
Kansas was chosen to represent the Big Six conference in the playoff after last Friday's 67 to 44 victory over the Missouri Tigers which elevated the Jayhawkers into a tie with Oklahoma for first place in the Big
Six and also left the Jayhawkers with the superior offensive record for the season.
King said that the Kansas-Oklahoma A. & M. playoff would be held in Kansas City, probably next Tuesday March 17, with the winner of the playoff to represent the district in the tournament to determine the team to represent the western half of the United States in the N.C.A.A. national championship game, March 28, at Kansas City.

SPORTIN' AROUND---
(continued from page four)
daresay the Fifth District was much more confident of Kansas' ability than it was of the Sooners.
And as to the Sooners being a far superior team when the two squads are equal is quite a foolish thought. Considering only the games that Tucker played in, the two schools have played in seven contests common to both of them (DePaul, Missouri, Nebraska (2), Iowa State, Oklahoma Aggies, and each other).
Kansas rates a 34-point margin on the DePaul game,11 and 23 points on the two Nebraska games,and 1 point on the Oklahoma Aggies. On the other hand Oklahoma rates a 1-point advantage against Missouri and Iowa State and a 12-point margin over Kansas.
But to reach the climax of the silly conclusions, let this be read: "While we are at it let's make another recommendation: That Allen quite coaching. He's obviously behind the times and the team he put on the floor here Friday was not what could be called a well-coached team."
From this comparison which gives Oklahoma any benefit of the doubt by comparing only Tucker-games, Kansas still rates better by 55 points in seven games. Need there be an more evidence?
Statement of facts: Allen had won the Big Six title 10 times in the 14 years of Big Six history, either outright or tied. And during the past three years he has won the title once outright and tied for first the other two times. So that's behind the times is it? Since when does it become oldfashioned in athletics to produce winning teams?
And as for a well-coached team—there isn't a team in the country year in and year out that can rival the Jayhawkers in their mastery of fundamentals. And when natural ability combines with fundamentals you have a Big Six co-champion and a team to meet Oklahoma A. and M. March 17. 'Nuf said.
Intercollegiate Hits High Pace At Kansas City
Kansas City, Mo., March 10. (UP)—Eight more of the nation's top-ranking college basketball teams faced sudden death in the national intercollegiate tournament today. Last year's runner-up, Kentucky State Teachers of Murray, already was out of it.
The defending champions, San Diego State, were slated to see action for the first time tonight—against Nebraska State Teachers at Chadron. In another star game, Panzer college of East Orange, NJ., winner of 46 straight games, meets Bemidji State of Minnesota.
Records already were falling. Wilfred (Gus) Doerner, the star from Evansville, Ind., college, made good on his one-man team billing by setting a new tournament scoring mark with 34 points.
State Teachers of Terre Haute racked up an 83 to 45 victory over Stevens Point, Wisc., college for a new tournament record. The previous high scoring record was held by West Texas State with 77 points last year.
East Central State of Ada, Okla. eliminated the Murray Teachers from Kentucky, 46 to 45, in an overtime fracas.

39 Pigskin Chasers At First Practice
Spring football practice got under way yesterday afternoon with 39 men reporting for the first day's practice. The coaches expect about twice that number of men to be out for practice before the week is over.
At present, classes and R.O.T.C. drills are conflicting with football practice and as soon as these difficulties are straightened out many more will be able to report for practice.
Practice yesterday consisted mostly of limbering up exercises and a little passing drill. But the five coaches expect to have the men in shape for good hard scrimmage work soon.
The coaches for this spring's practice are Gwinn Henry, Vic Hurt, Bill Replogle, Hub Ulrich, and Ed Hall.
George Dick, end, has not reported for practice yet because of an injured knee received in basketball. Gene Long, guard, is out with the flu, John Herron of Topeka has the flu, and Ray Evans, back, is still out for varsity basketball.

The KANSAN Comments...
Fortifying Alasaka
Our government has been greatly concerned in recent days over the need for stronger transportation links between the United States and Alaska.
If the Japanese should try to attack the United States, or any part of North America, they would inevitably aim their drive at Alaska. It is but 700 miles between a corner of Alaska and the northernmost point of Japan, and the Japanese have demonstrated an ability to conquer greater distances than this.
Alaska is, however, by no means unprepared to meet an enemy coming either by sea or by air. For some months work has been going on to strengthen the fortifications of our northernmost outpost.
A great need still exists, however, for a transportation line extending from Seattle to Fairbanks. Only in-so-much as we will be able to supply Alaska quickly and easily with war supplies, will we fortify her to the fullest extent.
New military air networks have been laid out and strong Army air bases have been constructed at Fairbanks and Anchorage; naval stations are also located at Sitka, Kodiak, and Dutch Harbor.
Last week Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes urged that construction be undertaken on an Alaskan highway. President Roosevelt, however, said that the highway plans might have to be put aside temporarily in favor of projects which can be carried out more rapidly.
Whether it be a one-track railroad, a chain of freight airplanes, or a convoy of ships, the fact remains that something must be done to insure the transportation of war supplies to our northern outpost in the Pacific.—P.L.C.
If the accusation against a Minneapolis youth is true, he must be an understudy for Superman. Police suspect him of having stoien a ton of scrap metal.
The Lowly Peanut
No sooner will housewives of the nation become accustomed to cooking without sugar than a new food supply will be rationed. Undoubtedly, the next commodity to be curtailed will be butter, its substitutes, lard, and salad oils.
Nutrition experts say that peanut butter is easier to digest than many other vegetable oils, and will be as well liked as any compound now in use, as it is one of the finest fats for deep frying of many foods. Its heating point is higher than that of many fats, permitting food to cook thoroughly without danger of burning. Homemakers will find that in many ways it is superior to the oils they are now using.
The soybean, a lowly cousin of the peanut possesses a high content of vegetable oil also, though less pleasant in food than peanut oil because it takes on rather an unsavory odor as it ages. It will take its wartime position in the making of paints, varnish, and soap.
In ordinary times, the United States has all the vegetable oil that it needs, but many of the salad oils, such as olive oil, come from abroad. The lowly peanut has finally come into a position of importance in every kitchen, for the duration. Perhaps, even when the imported oils are again available, women may prefer to go on using the newly discovered peanut oil, rather than go back to the old fashioned shortenings.—T.M.
New peak in patriotism — convicts in Alcatraz, who do the washing for the army transport service, have agreed to work on their holidays. One prisoner who suggested a "slow-down" strike precipitated a riot that lasted five minutes before guards could stop it.Denver Post.
Latest scheme for grand larceny developed in West Virginia when some unidentified individual jacked up the automobile of a physician, removed all four tires, and left fifty dollars in an envelope on the front seat with the note: "You can buy tires. We can't."

General Funston---
Current Events Recall Feat of Former Student
In direct contrast to the heroism of General Douglas MacArthur and the American troops in the war-torn Philippines has been the treachery of Emilio Aguinaldo, Filipino political power and one-time leader of the native guerilla troops opposing the annexation of the islands by America. Aguinaldo, after his forces were beaten in 1901, promised loyalty to the American government, and for the past 40 years has given at least 1p service to the island administrators. Still, when the Japanese invaders moved in, Aguinaldo performed a quick-change act
and began urging the native Filipinos to end their resistance against the Nipponese armies. ___
All of which is important to the feature section only in that a former student at the University of Kansas engineered the capture of the wily Aguinaldo back in 1901, by an unusual bit of military strategy.
Schoolmate of W. A. White
Frederick Funston, born in Ohio in 1865, came to a little farm near Iola, Kansas, with his parents at the age of two. After an adventurous boyhood, he enrolled at the University in 1886, and became a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, along with a boy named William Allen White. Like the Sage of Emporia, Funston had a savage opposition to formal study, and dropped out of school in 1888, leaving behind only the record of being a better-than-average botany student.
In 1890, the adventure-loving, bantam-size (5'-5") Funston secured a position with the Department of Agriculture, and traveled everywhere from Death Valley to the Yukon. Then, when the smoldering insurrection against the Spanish rule in Cuba broke out, Funston joined the Cuban rebel army and served in the artillery, such as it was, until early in 1898, when his health broke down.
Trouble in Philippines
When American troops moved into the Philippines, during the Spanish-American war, Funston was along, as head of the 20th Kansas regiment, and received several promotions and
the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery in action. The Spanish army provided little opposition for the Americans, and that phase of the war ended quickly.
The real trouble in the Philippines came from those natives who were opposed to foreign rule of any kind. Banding together under Emilio Aguinaldo, these Filipinos, knowing every inch of the jungle and mountains, could strike quickly and be hidden in the brush before the outnumbered, outmaneuvered American soldiers could strike back.
Funston and the other officers played a waiting game, with good results. The guerillas, when they became better equipped, tried to meet the Americans in full scale combat, and were hurled back, but back into the jungle, and were still a powerful force as long as Aguinaldo remained free.
Intercepted Pass
Then the lucky break occurred. A Filipino soldier, carrying dispatches in code from Aguinaldo to other rebel leaders, was captured. Funston, aided by native interpreters, decoded the messages, and learned the location of Aguinaldo's headquarters. Deciding to meet Filipino strategy with some of his own, Funston sent a message to Aguinaldo, signed in the handwriting of one of the guerilla leaders, telling that reinforcements were coming. The reinforcements were Macabebes, Filipinos loyal to the Americans, and they brought six white "prisoners," in reality Funston and five other soldiers. The bogus reinforcements

Expect New Jap Thrust Soon In Philippines
By United Press
Washington, March 10. — Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces on Bataan peninsula braced themselves today for a "Nazi-style" Japanese offensive that may be more savage than any they have met and crushed in their 13 weeks of amazing resistance.
Military officials said Lieut. Gen. Gomoyuki Yamashita, fresh from his conquests of Malaya and Singapore, presumably would unleash a fullscale assault in the Philippines at the earliest opportunity.
Yamachita, sent to replace Lieut. Gen. Masaharu Homma who is reported to have committed Hari-Kiri to escape disgrace because of his military failures, undoubtedly bore instructions from Japanese leaders in Tokyo to crush MacArthur at all costs.
"He is a hard-driving commander, as Prussian as he is Japanese in his tactics, and you can be sure that he is now busily reorganizing Japan's 200,000 or more troops in the Philippines for what may well be MacArthur's supreme hour," one official said.
War Department quarters believed that Yamashita, in contrast with the discredited Homma, would launch attempted "knockout" with:
4. Heavy emphasis on German methods learned when he visited Germany a year ago to study Nazi warfare and became an ardent champion of "Biltz" warfare.
2. Greater use of planes against MacArthur's little army, which possesses only a handful of P-49 fighters.
Recently Japanese heavy bombers and dive-bombers were reported to have been withdrawn from the Philippines and shifted nearly 2,000 miles southward for the assault on Java, giving MacArthur's P-40's an opportunity to strike at Japanese shipping in Subic Bay where five vessels totaling more than 30,000 tons were sunk without challenge from enemy planes. These Japanese planes and possibly others soon may be returned to the Philippines, military men believe.
Yamashita, if he goes in heavily for coordination of air and ground forces against MacArthur, may decide upon simultaneous all-out assaults upon the Bataan battlefront and upon Corregidor fortress in Manila Bay—backbone of MacArthur's defense. So long as Corregidor with its battleship-size guns holds out the Japanese cannot use Manila Bay.
Latest advices to the War Department from MacArthur told of an continuous calm that has settled over the Bataan battlefront. The Japanese are making no attempt to recapture the ground lost to MacArthur's recent surprise counter-drive, in the midst of which Homma is reported to have taken his life.
Military men awaited eagerly the big test between MacArthur and Yamashita, both of whom were listed among the world's 10 outstanding generals picked by military experts in London two days ago.

U.S. General On Staff Of China Army
Chungking, March 10—(UP)—Maj. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, of the United States army has been named chief of staff to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek in the China war zone, effective immediately, the ministry of information announced today.
It was announced also that Gen. Shiung Shih-Hui, former governor of Kiangsi province, will head a Chinese military mission to Washington. The information chief, Wang Shih Chieh, said the military mission would participate in the Pacific war conferences and would strive to insure closer Chinese-American military cooperation.
Stilwell named by President Roosevelt to a "special mission," arrived in Chungking from India several days ago.
Chungking sources said then that the American probably would take a major part in military operations in the China area, and help prepare China proper as a springboard for eventual counter-invasion of Japan.
Stillwil, a native Floridan, now is only nine days from his sixtieth birthday.
He is a 1904 graduate of West Point and is a specialist in infantry.
Brewster to Address AICE
The American Institute of Chemical Engineers will meet at S o'clock Wednesday night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.' Dr. R. Q. Brewster, chairman of the chemistry department, will speak on "Industrial Resources of Kansas."
Melbourne, Australia, March 10- Netherlands officers, arriving from Java, confirmed today that the Dutch forces had asked an armistice in the Bandoo area where some troops and practically the entire European population, including many women and children, were trapped.
Dutch Ask Japs For Armistice In One Area
It was not known here whether the small United States force and the British and Australian forces fighting with the Netherlands East Indies army had been affected by the armistice.
By UNITED PRESS
The Dutch officers told a tragic story of Japanese aerial superiority which led to the Bandoeng armistice plea.
"Battalion after battalion broke under the strain, shocked and demoralized by the bombing and their despair at never seeing a friendly airplane in the sky," one said.
They estimated that the Japanese had landed another 50,000 men in Java last Saturday and that they had now three divisions, or up to 60,000 men, near Soerabaja, the naval base at the east end of Java.

GENERAL FUNSTON---

Tau Sigma Will Dance For WAA
Members of Tau Sigma, women's dancing sorority, will dance before the members of the Women's Athletic association at the regular monthly meeting at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Robinson gymnasium.
The dancers, working under the direction of Miss Melba Schilling, will present three dances, "Golliwogs," "Profane," and "Regimentation." "Profane" presents the theme of purity being won over to the side of evil. "Golliwogs" receives its inspiration from Debussy's piece of music, which he wrote for his small daughter, describing the dance of the mythical Golliwogs, called "Golliwog's Dance." The third of the dances, "Regimentation," presents a military theme with emphasis on precision and timing.
Hill women appearing in "Profane" are Bunnie Green, Ruth Sheppard, Lucille York, Mary Louise Laffer, Joan Basore, Mary Ewers. Jane Stites, Saralena Sherman, and Georgia White.
"Golliwogs" will present Betty Frank Carey, Anna Jane Hoffman, Billie Doris Jarbose, Marjorie Owen, Jane Newcomer, Dorothy Nicholson, Dorothy Wiggin, and Diana McClure.
"Regimentation" will have in its cast Cynthia Gilmer, Mary Louise Laffer, Betty Davis, Lucy Trott, Treva Canary, Rilla Ann Townsend, Jackie Meyer, and Mary McVey.
After a short business meeting in Robinson gymnasium the members of W.A.A. will move into the center room of the gymnasium to watch the dancers, whose presentations will be interpreted first by Miss Schilling.
Members of the student body not associated with Tau Sigma or the W.A.A. are welcome.

JOURNALIST SHEEAN----
In the autumn Mr. Sheean came back to America for a coast to coast lecture tour and then settled down in a room in the Half Moon hotel in Coney Island, deserted during the winter months, to write his current novel, "Bird of the Wilderness," which is generally acclaimed by critics as his most important work of fiction. With the spring of 1941, eye-witness reporting again became an irresistible urge and he was off by clipper to see England under the blitz. The end of August saw him back in New York for a week, only to clipper off once more, this time to New Zealand, Australia and the Far East.
Still Likes Fiction
Mr. Sheean says he is still more interested in writing fiction than the "book journalism" that he, along with Gunther, Whitaker, Swing,
Stockton Leads Discussion Today at C. of C. Luncheon
F. T. Stockton, dean of the Schoo of Business, led a discussion on "Important factors affecting the food production program in our community and what we can do to meet the situation" at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon this noon.

Gedye and Duranty have virtually created as a new literary form, but he has decided that in this time of crisis novel writing will have to be sandwiched in between the business of reporting wars. His next book will be non-fiction and about the Far East.

Peterson, Plumb Tops in Contest
Because they won top honors in the district meeting of the inter-American affairs extempore-discussion contest in Fraser theater last night, two University students will participate in the southwestern regional contest at the University of Kansas City April 14.
Merrill Peterson, college junior, was awarded first place in the speaking competition, and Bob Plumb, college junior, took second place. Competing with other speakers from Ottawa University, Bethany College, Kansas State Teachers College at Hays, and Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg; this University had five students remaining among the seven finalist
speakers chosen by an elimination contest yesterday afternoon.
University students presenting seven minute speeches in the finals were Grier Stewart, college senior; John Waggoner, college junior; Orville Wright, college senior; Peterson; and Plumb. Representatives from other schools taking part in the final contest round were John Adams from Bethany College, and Lester Arvin from Ottawa University.
Contests Draw Topics
Participants in the finals drew one topic for discussion an hour and a half before the contest. Peterson spoke on the topic that the task for fulfilling a good neighbor policy is more than an emergency undertaking. He expressed the idea that a true good neighbor policy is based on freedom of speech, of religion, and freedom from want and from fear. Peterson believed that the policy for America is to raise the standard of living and the institution of democratic processes in South America. Higher wages and lower prices should be the aim of the establishment of industrialization in South America, Peterson believed.
Bob Plumb won his second place position with a discussion entitled, "From Aztec Canoe to Pan-American Clipper." He discussed the poor methods of transportation of our southern neighbors and how these methods hindered the promotion of good relations. Plumb believed that transportation between the republics of South America as well as the transportation between South America and the United States should be improved in order to aid Pan-American relations.
After each contestant had given a seven minute speech a cross-examination between the speakers was held for 12 minutes. Then each speaker summed up his views in a 30 minute broadcast over station KFKU. Buehler Was Chairman
E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, acted as chairman of the contest discussions. Judges were LeRoy Cowperthwaite, instructor of speech in the Liberty Memorial High School; the Rev. Joseph King, minister of the Lawrence Congregational church; Richard Barber, Lawrence attorney; L. H. Houston, manager of the Bell Music company and a member of the

Women's Election In Two Weeks
University women will vote in their regular spring election Thursday, March 26. No change in the present election system has been made by the executive council of the W.S.G.A.
The vociferous discussion which characterized the introduction of the bill was not repeated after the plebiscite, and the only open objection,
The plebiscite showed that 10 women were in favor of tabling the election bill, while eight were willing to give it a temporary try.
An unofficial "plebiscite" of both voting and non-voting members cut short all comment regarding an election bill proposed a week ago. That bill provided for a student-aculty committee to select candidates and place them in nomination for proper offices.
The Council, in its regular meeting Tuesday night in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, agreed to establish that date for the election, and directed its election committee to entertain applications for can didacy this afternoon in the

Lengyel Will Talk on Dakar At Convocation
Dr. Emil Lengyel, international reporter for the New York Times and the author of the books,"The Danube," and "Turkey," will speak at convocation next Thursday, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today.
Dr. Lengyel's subject for his address will be "Dakar." He is the author of the only book on Dakar in the English language, and is regarded one of the world's best authorities on this West African port.
In his book Lengyel points out that Dakar is Germany's spearhead, directed at the Americas. He believes the French are rushing the trans-Saharan railway to completion at German instigation. When the temporary line is ready, he says, the Germans will have direct access to Dakar without having to go outside Gibraltar, and can reach the Americas in five flying hours.
Lengyel has produced numerous outstanding volumes in recent years. His book, "Hitter," was hailed as the best on the subject. One of his more recent works, "New Deal In Europe," is being used by many of the country's leading universities as a text.

Dances, Announcements Entertaining on the Hill
Profanity, Golliwoging Dancers Go Modern
To the modern dance themes of regimentation, profanity, and golliwoging, approximately 25 members of Tau Sigma, dancing organization, performed in streamlined style this afternoon in Robinson gymnasium for the Women's Athletic Association.
In keeping with the trend of the times, the dance "Regimentation" was given in military movements, with the emphasis of the dance placed on timing and precision.
Regimentation Theme
"Gollwogs," received its inspiration from Debusy's piece of music, written for his small daughter to describe the dance of mythical things. These mythical people were
presented by the dancers in black costumes, horned hats, and brightly colored ruffled panties, who jumped and tripped about like frogs.
In the "Profane Waltz," Miss Melba Schilling, director of Tau Sigma, represented the threatening evil, Sin, dressed in a black fitted suit and black mask. The dance is a struggle between Purity and Sin and finally ends with Sin triumphing and forcing his power over Purity; the purists are won over to the side of evilness and the profane movements of the dance.
The performance this afternoon was an instructorial showing and a preview of the group's coming sping performance in April.

the outstanding engineering scholar in the state.
Following a short leave of absence, the couple will make their home at Fort Townsend, where Schroeter will be stationed.

Sheean Analyzes War And Forecasts Victory
Presenting a clear-cut factual analysis of the war with Japan and throwing in a dash of prophecy, Vincent Sheean, war correspondent and lecturer, spoke in Hoch auditorium Tuesday night.
The Japanese have followed a program of conquest for the past 50 years, Sheean said,—a policy coordinated in a way unknown to the western world. Their annexation of Korea, and Manchuria, and the attempted conquest of China, have been
done with a fanaticism carefully planned and nurtured for many years.
Sheean attributes the fact that the Japanese never retrace a step or abandon an objective largely to Shintoism, the national religious philosophy of Japan. No matter what his religion, the Japanese is compelled to accept the three main precepts of Shintoism: the divinity of the Emperor, Japan's origin, and its mission.
Tells of Jap Aggression
Briefly recalling the high points in Japan's 50 years of aggression and expansion, Sheean spoke of the annexation of Korea in 1894; the war with Russia, in which Russia capitulated to every demand; and the first World War in which Japan fought briefly, took everything Germany had in the Far East, and rated as an equal power in the peace conference.
Following the war, Japan attended the conference held in Washington on the limitations of naval armaments and signed a treaty to respect the territorial integrity of China and to maintain a navy in the ratio of 3 to 5 to the United States navy. In 1930 the treaty was abrogated, Sheean said, because repeated Japanese violations rendered it ineffectu-
The navies of the United States and Japan are nearly equal, and since Japan operates in only one ocean and has its home base in the center, Japan has a decided balance of favor, Sheean pointed out.
Japs Play 'Possum
Sheen reviewed events occurring just before the war, in which our government anxiously tried to stave off the conflict, and Japan threw a smokescreen over the activities to throw the democratic nations off guard.
Explaining the three major lines of defense in the Far Eastern conflict, Sheean pointed out the hook, crescent, and arc formations of the war. The hook goes from Shanghai, which fell at the start of the war, to Hongkong, Siam and Burma, both subjugated to Japan.
Under the military hook is the crescent concerned strictly with materials-petroleum, sugar, tobacco, quinine, and other products from the islands.
Possible California Attack
The arc of offensive and defensive warfare is from Australia to Hawaii, with the latter constituting an important base from which all supplies are going to New Zealand and Australia, screened by numerous little islands. Japan has never recognized the United States' annexation of Hawaii, and Sheean thought it possible that Japan would pass by that island in the case it might prove too hard to fortify, and attack southern California.
Other possibilities of attack are a combined offensive on England, or on Russia and the Calcutta line.
Shecan believed that the war will be long and hard, but that the allies would win if they stick to their principles and make sacrifices.
Fine Arts Students Present Recital
Students in the School of Fine Arts presented a recital at 3:30 this afternoon in Frank Strong auditorium.
Jean Rennick played "Rhapsodie in G Minor," Opus 79. "The Winds in the South," by J. P. Scott, was sung by Dorothy Mae Nelson. "Trio in G" (allegro), by Mozart, was played by an ensemble consisting of Marvin Zoschke, violin; Glenn Royer, cello; and Martha Dooley, piano.
Clarnell Wehrli sang "The Night- ingale and the Rose," by Rimsky- Korsakoff, and "Passepied," by Deilbes- Aslanoff. Cello numbers by Glenn Royer were "Prelude in G" by Bach, and "Sonata in B Flat," Marcelo. A piano number by Erna Carl was "Papillons" by Schumann.
The program ended with "Nocturne," by Borodin, played by a string quartet consisting of Doris Turney, first violin; Sarepta Pierpont, second violin; Engene Nininger, viola; and Royer, cello.
Lindsey Will Speak On Japanese People
Miss Lydia Lindsey, graduate of 1907, will speak on "Japanese People and Policies" at the Monday meeting of the Psychology Club. The meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. in room 21, Frank Strong hall.
For many years Miss Lindsey has been head of the English department at Miyazi college, Sendai, Japan. Shortly after the installation of Premier Tojo, she and an associate, Miss Kate Hansen, escaped from the country on the last evacuation boat from Yokahama.
Summerfield Regional Exams To Be Saturday
Regional examinations for Summerfield scholarships at the University will be given Saturday, Olin Templin, secretary for the University Endowment association, which administers the fund for the grants, announced today. These examinations will be held in Lawrence, Wichita, Salina, Colby, Dodge City, and Chanute.
From 30 to 35 of approximately 240 seniors in high school who will compete in the regional examinations, will be selected for the final trials in Lawrence April 20 and 21.
Each year 10 to 12 of the finalists are chosen for grants, which provide sufficient funds for the students elected to attend the University for four years. The amount of the award is determined by the actual need of the individual.
After selection, the student must maintain a grade index of 2.5 to receive an extension of the scholarship for the following year. If that standard is maintained, grants are automatically reawarded.
If a student who is financially able to attend the University without outside assistance wins one of the scholarships in competition, his only award is the honor which goes with the grant.
Victory Book Drive Gains Momentum
Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, is intensifying its drive for books in its Victory Book campaign this week. Books will be picked up at all organized houses tomorrow.
Independent students are requested to drop books which they wish to contribute into the book boxes located in Fraser hall, Frank Strong hall, and the engineering building; or they can be left on the third floor of Watson Library.
Faculty members who have books to contribute may drop them in the book boxes, leave them at the library, or call Louis Medlin at 1360. The books will then be collected over the week-end.

JEREMY SALVATORE
Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
"It can't happen here." That's what all Jayhawkers thought when considering the case of Ed Elbel and the possibility of his leaving the University to join the Army.
But it wasn't for the Hill to decide and consequently Elbel will leave Monday for Tula where he will become an associate director of research in the technical training command of the United States Army Air Corps.
A funny guy this Elbel. Quiet, modest, and a hard worker. Elbel is liker and respected by everyone. He's never too busy to stop and talk with you or to iron out your troubles. Whenever you want anything to be done in first class shape without doing any worrying yourself, just turn it over to Doc.
Latest example of this was the Phog Allen testimonial banquet at the Memorial Union and the following program at Hoch auditorium. It was a bang-up success in all respects. And yet when he was complimented later for the wonderful job he had done, Elbel passed it off with, "It wasn't I, it was that hard-working committee which I had."
And that's the way he always is. He does more outside jobs for people than any other person on the campus and yet he receives very little, if any, credit. There are a lot of people undoubtedly on Mt. Oread who do not know Doc. That is, they might not recognize him if they were to meet him. And yet, everyone who has attended a basketball game in Hoch auditorium or a football game in the stadium has heard his voice. He's the fellow who, during the Kansas-Missouri game Friday night, was worried that he had forgotten something before Christmas so immediately he wished all the fans a "Merry Christmas."
Doc's official title on the Hill is associate professor of physical education. He teaches all of the graduate courses in theory in the department of physical education besides teaching several undergraduate courses. This is a full-time job in itself and is as much as the biggest majority of Hill professors handle during the school term.
But Elbel doesn't stop here. He handles the work of two men in his capacity as director of the intramural program on the Hill. And this job is no task for a softy. He gets complaints by the scores and has to settle them all peaceably and to the satisfaction of all concerned. If there is one man on the campus that has the qualities to do this successfully it is Doc Elbel.
One fact which very few people know is that Elbel is recognized as the greatest intramural director in intercollegiate circles in the country. You'd never know it by talking to him but it remains for the opinions and recommendations of other leading educators to place Elbel at the top of the heap in intramural direction. Proof of this fact is that one of Doc's "boys," Jim Raport, made the jump from assistant here at the University to the spot at the head of the intramural set-up at Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn this year.
One of the best stories to emphasize Doc's sincerity and modestness is this little anecdote. Doc has never been one to have very much leisure time. But like everyone else he certainly enjoys it when it comes his way. And that's the point. He never goes looking for an extra hour where he can slack his work and loaf. In fact, he seldom leaves his office before five o'clock in the afternoon and generally it's much closer to six o'clock because he doesn't want anyone to say that he is shirking his job and not putting in enough time. His conscientiousness is one of his greatest attributes.
His jobs don't stop here however. He is general manager of the Kansas Relays. The title may not sound too impressive but his work makes up for that in a big way. It was remarked several weeks ago when it was rumored that Doc might leave that the University would need three men to take his place and that the Relays just couldn't be staged.
This might have been exaggerated to a slight, but very small, degree, but it does show quite conclusively what those who work with Doc think of his ability.

Kansas Cocky for Aggie Game Refs and Balls Picked
Time is just abiding while the Jayhawkers wait impatiently for their playoff tilt Tuesday night in Kansas City with the Oklahoma Aggies. The winner of this game will then enter the Western Division playoffs with Rice, Colorado, and either Stanford or Oregon State in Kansas City March 20 and 21 for the right to meet the Eastern Division champion March 28 in another game in the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City.
The restlessness of the players is shown in their cocky attitude which tends to make them forget about the Oklahoma
Aggie game and look forward to the games later in the week.
The Aggies Come First
The entire team has the opinion that they can beat the Aggies quite easily but their basis for this belief is extremely uncertain. In the first clash of the two teams this season the Jayhawks narrowly won, 33 to 29, on their home floor.
Five days later at Stillwater the Cowboys rode herd on the Kansans to the tune of 40 to 33. Since that time the Jayhawks have taken a shellacking at Norman and won two other Big Six games to win the title with Oklahoma. The Ag's also finished their conference schedule in a tie with Creighton for top honors and will battle Oklahoma at Noman tonight in the final game of their regular schedule.
Gibbs and Curtis Selected
Referees for the game Tuesday have been selected by Arty Eilers of the Missouri Valley and Reeves Peters of the Big Six. Coaches of the two competing teams, Henry
Iba and Phog Allen, agreed on Ronald Gibbs of Springfield, Ill., and Ab Curtis, Ft. Worth, Texas, as the officials and both have accepted, said the two commissioners.
In the game two different balls will be used. It has been the practice of the two teams to always use their own ball when they were playing on their respective campuses. However since the game is being played in Kansas City, a Spaldings Stitched ball, the type used by Kansas, will be placed in action one half and during the other half a Lastbilt Molded ball, the kind that Oklahoma A. and M. uses, will be in vogue.
"B" Team May Play
The backboards for this game will be the regulation wooden backstops but there is a possibility that glass blackboards will be used in the N.C.A.A. Western Division series and in the final game. A vote is being taken at the present time among the coaches of the competing

PhiGam'sand PhiPsi's Start'A'Series Tonite
LEVEN WISDOM OF
Phi Delt's, Sigma Chi's In B Finals
BY DON KEOWN
The co-champions of Division I, Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi, clash tonight at 8:30 in the first game of the series. The teams advanced to 1942 intramural playoff's final the finals via semi-final victories over Newman I and Beta Theta Pi respectively.
It will be the second time this year the two squads have clashed, and the defending champion Fiji's will be out to avenge the only defeat they have suffered this season. The high-scoring Psi five downed them in a regular season contest earlier this winter 42 to 32 with a red-hot last quarter attack. In turn the Phi Psi's have lost only to Alpha Tau Omega this year in an early season game.
Phi Gam's Have Veterans
Four of the five Phi Gam starters tonight will be returning vets from last year's championship quintet. Sparkplug of the Fiji attack so far this year has been Chain Healy, Phi Gam center and floor general. Setting a fast pace in playoff scoring so far is Roscoe Hambric, smallest member of the defending champions. He should receive aid with the scoring chores from Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam forward who is overdue to break loose on a scoring rampage.
In turn the Phi Fsi's will place their hopes on two forwards who are currently the hottest scoring duo in intramural competition, John Krum and Bill Hodge. Tall John Hallberg, elongated Psi center, was a big factor in his team's previous win this year over the Fijie's. At the guard spots will be two dependables, Steve Meade and Clayton Kyle.
Phi Delt's Try For Upset
Also at stake tonight will be the class "B" championship when Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi take the floor at 7:30. It will be the Phi Delt's Clint Kanaga and Dean Huebert against an evenly-balanced Sigma Chi squad featuring Ken Adams and Craig Howes. The Sigma Chi's are the defending class "B" champions, but rate no edge over their high-rated opponents.
The Phi Kappa Psi quintet last night advanced to the finals with a thrilling 36 to 29 victory over Beta Theta Pi in an overtime game. After trailing most of the way, the Psi's pulled up into a threatening position via some fine long-range shooting by forward John Krum. A free throw conversion by Bill Hodge in the last 20 seconds of the regular playing time sent the game into the extra period. The Psi's then bombarded the goal with baskets from all angles to pull away from the tired Beta's.
The deliberate Beta attack puzzled their opponents throughout the first half, as the losers went into the third quarter with a 14 to 9 lead. Harlan Altman clever Beta center, who turned in an outstanding game,

repeatedly caught the favored Psi's off guard with his tricky ball handling and passing. However, after cutting the Beta lead to three points in the third period, iae winners began to find the range, and it was all over for the Beta's.
Krum Hits For 18
Krum turned in his best game of the year as he took scoring honors for the game with 18 points. Bill Hodge, Psi ace, was kept well under control by Altman during most of the game but broke loose in the last quarter and overtime period for nine points. Rans Bennett, a one-handed shooting wizard, collected eight tallies for the losers. Altman and Jim Surface, who also turned in a fine rebounding performance, each contributed six points to the Beta total.
The game was rough with three men fouling out. After a first half in which the Beta's methodical ball-handling slowed up play, the game speeded up to a terrific pace which wore down the smaller men of Beta Theta Fi. The loss was the Beta's third of the year, and gave them a tie for third place in this year's competition.
McSpadden Held Scoreless
Phi Gamma Delta looked their part of defending champions in every way Tuesday night as they advanced to the finals with a surprisingly easy 37 to 32 win over highly-regarded Newman I. Only in the last quarter did the independents pull up into a threatening position.
Star of the game, however, was Junius Penny, Newman forward who did just about everything a man could do. The former Lawrence high star continued his high-scoring activities by connecting with nine baskets, many of them coming on his two-handed overhead shot. In addition he held Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam ace, scoreless. It was the first time this year that the trick had been turned.
The Phi Gam's held a 21 to 12 advantage at halftime as they took advantage of poor Newman passing and team-play. Chain Healy was the main cog in the Purple Machine as he collected 11 points and turned in a brilliant floor game. Roscoe Hambric took scoring honors for the winners with 16 points. "Silent" John Conley turned in a fine defensive performance for the Fiji's.
The Newman defeat thus came at the hands of the same team which handed them two straight setbacks in last year's final playoff series.
In the other Tuesday night contest, the Phi Kappa Psi squad advanced to the semi-finals with a second round 45 to 24 rout over Carruth hall. Only Mac Frederick, Carruth's fine forward, bothered the winners as he rang up 11 of his team's total.
Bill Hodge was in fine scoring form to tally 16 points for the winners. Team-mates John Krum and John Hallberg contributed 12 and nine points respectively. Steve Meade of the winners and Glenn St. Aubyn of Carruth were the defensive standouts of the game. Halftime score of the contest found the winners leading 20 to 13.

The KANSAN Comments...
Wisdom In W.S.G.A. Action
W. S.G.A. is to be congratulated upon its action of Tuesday night. After some discussion of the election bill, and a plebiscite which revealed that of all members present, 10 favored tabling the bill and 8 believed that it should be tried as an experimental measure, it was in effect tabled, to be considered by the council, and if accepted, to be used in the freshman election in the fall.
W. S.G.A. will conduct this election as it has in the past. Only criticism of the action came from those who considered it weak on the part of the council to table the bill after having considered it for some two weeks; that any change would be a change for the better, and that the bill couldn't be proved without trial.
Far from showing weakness on the part of W.S.G.A., it shows admirable foresight that the group decided to give adequate consideration to a bill which would make such radical changes in the setup of the council. Snap judgments and flash decisions are seldom able to stand the test of years. With careful consideration and certain revisions, the bill might be helpful, but as it now stands it would not accomplish its ostensible purpose, and would only serve to tie the hands of W.S.G.A. to some extent.
It is ill-advised to say that any change would be a change for the better. It is better for W.S.G.A. to keep what it has than to change to something which obviously doesn't satisfy the council as it stands now. With due consideration some suitable plan may be conceived which will satisfy the majority of council members. The existing bill doesn't do that.
It is certainly true that the worth of the bill couldn't be proved without trial, but it is also true that the deficiencies in the bill are obvious. It would smack of the ridiculous to adopt a bill which is in part bad, only to prove that those good portions will function properly.
Taken all in all, the council decision was the only wise one. Experienced council members will work on the bill for a time, then turn it over to the new members, who will view it objectively, and who will possibly be more likely to see the deficiencies and remedy them before adopting the measure.
The Next Blow
All over the world people are wondering what Adolf Hitler's next move will be. It is a matter of special concern to the inhabitants of two neutral European nations, for they are the prospective victims of the Fuehrer's coming blow.
Hitler must move. He cannot stand still. Already his prestige has suffered in Russia, and he cannot hope to conquer Russia in an impressive enough fashion this spring—if at all—to wipe out the memories of his bloody defeats in the Crimea and before Moscow. Therefore, he must search for a weaker opponent to humble. In addition to weakness, the new foe must have something the Germans desire.
Two countries in particular answer these qualifications. One is Portugal. Its army is small, its navy a joke. Its fall would give the Nazis additional bases on the Atlantic from which to operate their submarines and planes. An obstacle to any future move down the Iberian peninsula toward Gibraltar would also be wiped out.
Even more likely is an attack on Turkey.
German preparations in Greece and Bulgaria seem to point to such a move. Hitler would like nothing better than to recoup his prestige in practically the same geographical area where it suffered a damaging blow this winter.
At its present strength the Turkish republic could not hope to cope with the German hordes already concentrated on her borders. She cannot muster more than 500 planes, of which only 200 are of reasonably new make. The Turks have no tanks, no antitank guns, and but few military transports. A million men could be mobilized, but they could not be efficiently armed. Russia will undoubtedly be too busy to go to the help of her southern neighbor.
Therefore, it seems that the task of defending the Near East will fall on the shoulders of Great Britain and the United States. It is quite possible that here for the first time in twenty-some years the doughboys will once again tangle with the Hun. At stake will be the rich oil fields of Iran and Iraq, huge grain fields, the shipping facilities of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, supply routes to Russia, and a road to India.
There could not be a more opportune time for the doughboy to give a repeat performance of his 1918 demonstration of how to lay the Hun by the heels. And somehow we feel that he can do it!—J.D.K.

Three small frowns for the cad who yesterday purposely or otherwise upset the shiny and utilitarian fire extinguisher which roosts between the Chancellor's office and the retunda on the second floor of Ad. People who heard it thought it was the Board of Regents foaming at the mouth, rushed over to see, and were sorely disappointed.
With Spring, etc., coming on, Wendell Link was entirely in order when he got his exquisite brown curls trimmed down to a mere nothing at one of the local barberies. But when he returned home, and his Templin Hall brothers caught sight of him, they decided that the barber shop had not sheared him closely enough.
Now poor Wendell looks only slightly better than a fur covered billiard ball, and is afraid of pneumonia in case a change in weather might occur.
David Watermulder, friend of all mankind, has hatched a new scheme for bucking up morale, no telling just whose. His latest scheme is to form a corporation of female scribes on the Hill to write letters to men in the Army, Navy, and Marines. These cheer-dispensing females will be called the "Sweethearts Whose Boyfriends Are In The Army."
Dave Thompson, new Sig Alph pledge, who had campaigned rabidly against prohibition in his Extempore Speaking class, is reported by the Gestapo to have been carrying on the campaign very ably in the City Saturday night. (Apologies are due anyone who thinks this item falls under the heading of crude gossip. It do.)
Since the Kappa party has been postponed, Cordelia Murphy has again had a chance to postpone the awful decision she must one day make. The problem before the house is, "Shall it be Earl Clarke or Nation Meyer?"
"Any Books Today?" Is New Wartime Slogan
The University is again cooperating in a national movement to maintain and improve the morale of the men serving in the armed forces and the merchant marine, this time by joining in the Victory Book Campaign, to gather up old books for use in U.S.O. libraries in army and navy camps and in libraries established for the sailors in our merchant marine
National response to the appeal has been, by mid-February, a total of 2,-576,000 books collected, of which 1,-546,000 were suitable for distribution. The state of Kansas had contributed 8,694 books at this time, with Nebraska and Missouri each donating about 13,000. In addition to the University campaign, Haskell Indian Institute and the city of Lawrence have conducted literary round-ups, with the result that 950 books have been sent from here to Fort Leavenworth. Because of better facilities for sorting and packing books, the city library is being used as a clearing house for all local collections.
The campaign, inaugurated in mid-January, is sponsored and financed by the United Service Organization, the Red Cross, and the American Library Association. Various service clubs, such as the Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls, and Alpha Phi Omega, have conducted door-to-door campaigns, and libraries and universities throughout the nation have aided in the collecting, sorting, and distributing of the donated books. Books not used in the military libraries are being sent to those areas in the country where the population has risen, due to the growth of defense industries, to a point where existing library facilities are overtaxed.
Literary preference in the fiction vice, are stories of adventure, aviavice, are story so adventure, aviation, history, humor, sports, and the Wild West. High in demand in the non-fiction department are books on applied psychology, current affairs, crime and crime detection, mathematics, business, photography, history, biography, travel, and language.
Demand Is Varied
All books contributed are placed in one of seven classifications: 1) fiction books of good quality and condition; 2) non-fiction in good shape; 3) fiction in moderate condition and 4) non-fiction in moderate condition; 5) books of suitable quality but needing minor repairs; 6) books of inferior quality and condition, which are sold as old paper, and the proceeds used to finance the campaign; 7) books not appropriate for present needs, but which are kept for future use. Children's books are welcomed for use in libraries in over-crowded industrial districts.
Most of the books garnered in the University drive have come from members of the faculty. The possibility of gathering many books from students, except from those who live in town, seems rather doubtful to the writer, as most away-from home students limit their "libraries" to essential textbooks and favorite volumes they would be reluctant to part with. The bulk of local donations has been fiction, with occasional textbooks appearing.
State Director of the Victory Book Drive is Miss Ruth Hammond, of the Wichita Public Libraries.

Those going to the meeting include George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education; J. W. Twente, professor of education; H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division; Miss Helen Langstaff, extension division; and Miss Ruth Kenney, secretary of the correspondence study bureau and executive secretary of the association.
Alumni to Gather On Hill Sunday
W. T. Markham, member of the state Board of Regents, will preside at the meeting.
The second of the year's alumni roundups will be Sunday at the Memorial Union building, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, has announced. The meeting will be highlighted by a reception in the Union building at 3 p.m. and a barbecue at 6 p.m.
Chanceller Deane W. Malott, and Hugo T. Wedell, justice of the Kansas Supreme Court and president of the Alumni association, will speak briefly on University progress. Musical entertainment will be provided by students of the School of Fine Arts. The a cappella choir will sing two numbers and will lead the audience in singing "The Crimson and the Blue."
Dr. John Outland, of Kansas City, Mo., and John Wahlsted, radio tenor, also of Kansas City, Mo., will present a musical skit, and E. M. Brack, fine arts sophomore, will sing a tenor solo.
Special entertainment for children of the alumni guests will be presented by Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach. Replogle, for many years a ranger in Yellowstone Park, will illustrate his lecture with colored slides.
Brewster Tells Of Kansas Opportunity
Ellsworth stated today he expected attendance to be good, "in spite of the automobile tire situation." A great number of reservations have been received, including one from Bernard L. Sheridan, Paola, President of the Kansas State Bar association.
"The industrial resources of Kansas have not yet begun to be tapped, and opportunities for exploitation of the resources are many." said Dr. R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, in a talk before the Kansas student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building yesterday.
Citing actual cases as examples. Dr. Brewster told of several instances where a graduate with ambition could start production in Kansas, and compete with products that are produced in other states and shipped into Kansas. Dr. Brewster emphasized that anyone starting out should expect only rather humble beginnings, rather than a full scale production and a ready market from the first.
Following the talk the regular meeting of the group was held, in which it was announced that the A.ICh.E. was endeavoring to get information from nearby companies regarding summer employment for undergraduate students.
A turnout of eighty chemical engineers made the meeting one of the largest in recent years.
The field trip for the Municipal administration class under W. R. Maddox, assistant professor of political science, which was first scheduled for last Saturday, has been postponed until March 21.
To Play in National Billiard Meet
Topeka Field Trip Is Postponed

RAF Strikes At German Industries
London March 12 —(UP)— British heavy bombing planes blasted targets in industrial western Germany during the night while other planes made a big scale attack on the French invasion coast and British guns along the Dover Strait blazed angrily, apparently at enemy ships in French waters.
It was the second straight night attack on western Germany, heart of Germany's war industry, and it was believed that the raid was a heavy one and engaged some of Britain's biggest planes.
Armaments Plant Bombed
Authoritative sources said that Essen, site of the vast Krupp armaments plant, which was bombed ferociously the night before, again had been the chief target for a concentrated attack.
A German broadcast heard here said British planes dropped incendiary and explosive bombs on several towns, although visibility was bad. Details were not yet available, the broadcast said, but it was known that hits were scored on "residential areas" and "several civilians" had been killed or wounded.
The entire southeast coast shook with blasts of explosions along the French invasion coast during the evening. United Press watchers said British planes made a continuous attack for hours, starting before dark.
RAF Drops Largest Bombs
So savage was the attack, the watchers said, that they were reminded of the "old days" of last summer and fall. The ground shaking forces of the explosions they said, confirmed the belief of military observers that some of the heaviest bombs of the Royal Air Force were dropped.
German guns sent up tremendous quantities of shells the watchers reported, in their attempt to drive off the raiders, and the sky seemed pitted with flashes of shells including tracer shells and flaming onions.
It was about midnight when the coastal guns went into action.
For an hour, firing in four-guns salvoes, they kept up a bombardment across the misty strait. The long range guns which fire into France apparently were not in action, watchers said, and the flashes of explosions of shorter range guns indicated that they were firing at shipping in the strait.

The new officers are: president, George Rinker, department of zoology; vice president, Kenneth Moore, department of psychology; secretary, Seymour Sanford Kalter, department of bacteriology; treasurer, Florence Dill, department of botany.
A talk was given by Reece Sailer, outgoing president, concerning nest temperatures among the Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, and ants). It was pointed out that man is not the only animal capable of controlling the temperature of his living quarters, that the honey bees and wasps, by building covers around their nests, maintain an even temperature within their colonies.
Slides were shown illustrating the temperature records within the nest of a colony of yellow jackets. They were taken the past summer by Mr. Sailer.
Present Last in Series Of Fine Arts Recitals
The senior recital presented last night in Frank Strong auditorium by Robert Glotzbach, a senior in piano from the studio of Dean D. M. Swarthout, temporarily brought to a close the long series of recitals presented this year by fine arts seniors.
Glotzbach's program was drawn from Brahms, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, among others, and included the opening movement of the Brahms F sharp minor Sonata, a group of three preludes from Chopin, three etudes, a Nocturne, and the Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, by Rachmaninoff. All orchestral parts were played by Dean Swarthout on a second piano.
Because Glotzbach has been called for military service in the near future, his recital was last night instead of early in April, as originally scheduled.
Glotzbach came to the University in 1935 as a student in fine arts but later enrolled in the School of Business, from which he received his B. S. degree in 1940. He then reentered the School of Fine Arts, and will receive his bachelor of music degree this semester.

Allen also dispatched a telegram to Lieut. Commdr. J. Russell Cook, coach of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station basketball squad, stating that he would be more than willing to engage the Navy crew in a benefit game in Kansas City March 31 in case the Jayhawkers emerged from the N.C.A.A. playoffs as national champions. To do this, however, the Jayhawks would have to defeat Oklahoma A. and M. and then win three additional games in the playoffs which Dr. Allen describes as "extremely doubtful."

Three former students of journalism at this University figured prominently in the managerial shake-up yesterday on two of the nation's most widely-read magazines, the Saturday Evening Post and Country Gentlemen, both owned by the Curtis Publishing company.

Good Day for a Hanging Black Cat Special
Oh, happy day!
Friday 13 again, and L'il Abner is still free from the amorous clutches of Daisy Mae.
This day of doubtful luck has the unusual characteristic of following close on the heels of another Friday 13. The thirteenth of February also fell on particular theory. Friday.
Thirteen has long been considered an unlucky number by superstitious persons. Friday used to be the customary day for hanging criminals. Put the two together, and no wonder the ancients looked on the day with distrust. Bad enough to have thirteenth day floating around each month. Coming on hanging day, it might cause you to get taught sticking a knife in your best friends back, which would be very convenient for the hangman.
The origin of the belief that Friday 13 is unlucky is rather obscure. Some say that Friday is unlucky because that is the day when Eve visited Adam's arm and made him at the apple. Others believe that christ was executed on a Friday. Long with all that stuff about black cats, walking under ladders, spilling salt, and such, the start of this
particular theory has been dimmed through the ages.
Here's a cheering thought. E. Cobham Brewer, in his "Dictionary of Phrase and Fable," says that in America, Friday is supposed to be a lucky day.
Just to be safe, though, if you have gotten this far through the day, it might be wise to get a good book and curl up safely at home for the rest of the night. But don't choose a mystery story. It might scare you to death.
Boston (UP) —Judge Thomas H. Connolly was astonished when, during trial of an automobile case, the jury volunteered to pay for its own lunch to save the county the expense. The judge declined, but he said it was a noble offer and one that he had never heard of before.

Navy Society Starts Drive for Five Million
New York.—(UP)—A nation-wide campaign to raise $5,00,000 for the Navy Relief Society has started under the direction of the National Citizens Committee of the Navy Relief Society.
It is the first public appeal on a national basis in the history of the Society and its importance was indicated by the attendance of Navy Secretary Frank Knox, and many high naval officers at the dinner inaugurating the drive.
The 1,200 civilian leaders who attended the dinner heard speeches by Secretary Knox, admiral Harold Stark, Chief of Naval Operations and President of the Navy Relief Society; Admiral Ernest J. King, commander-in-chief of the United States Fleet; Lieutenant General Thomas Holcomb, Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps; Rear Admiral R. R. Waesche, Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard; and Thomas E. Dewey, former District Attorney of New York and Chairman of the Citizens Committee for the third Naval District.
The place which the Society holds the hearts of enlisted men in the navy, Marine Corps and Coast guard can be seen in this statement by Admiral Stark: In times like these, when our men know there is an organization devoted lely to their needs and to whom air families may apply and receive help in an emergency, their ace of mind is much assured. Am that peace of mind comes up of morale, which sharpens the eating edge."
football Was Nucleus
Back in the early years of this entury it was the custom to "pass a hat" when death or some other isfortune befall families in the navy. Officers began to discuss and an for a better way of mutual aid times of personal distress. When Australia Wear Bright, it will
Annapolis-West Point football me was played and the committee-in-charge found itself with $18,-

made that it be divided equally between Navy and Army for charit-able purposes.
Present Second Performance Of 'Mrs. Moonlight'
11,000 Cases in 1941
The staged reading experiment of Mrs. Moonlight," Benn Wolf Levy's sentimental comedy, was given for the second and final time last night before an audience of activity ticket holders in the little theater in Green hall.
The Society, acting as the "community chest" of the Navy, is confronted with ever increasing demands due to the enlarging personnel of the Navy, the larger Marine Corps, and the absorption of the Coast Guard by the Navy.
Under the leadership of Mr. Moody, Secretary of the Navy, and Admiral George Dewey, the Navy Relief Society was incorporated in 1904. It accepted one-half of this $18,000.00 as a financial nucleus.
Only a desire to have funds sufficient to care for every needy case has led the organization to depart from the time-honored boast, "The Navy Takes Care of Its Own," and to permit a nationally organized Citizens Committee to solicit funds in the current drive.
Relief to needy cases is always in the form of cash, either an on- and-out gift or a loan that runs several months. At the end of periods of financial assistance a check is made by an actual visit as to the need of further relief. Some of the Society's cases have been continuous since 1906. In the year 1941 alone, the Society cared for some 11,000 cases and from its own funds disbursed more than one-half a million dollars to the families of Navy men.
Reading the same parts as they did in the presentation Monday night, the cast members were as follows: narrator, James Barton, instructor of speech; Tom Moonlight Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama and director of the play; Sarah Moonlight, Reola Durand, college junior; Willie Ragg, Kenneth Jackson, college senior; Edith, Virginia Davis, college freshman; Percy Middling, Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama; Jane Middling, Constance Moses, college sophomore; Minnie, Jessica Crafton, wife of Professor Crafton; and Peter Middling, Daniel Bachmann, college freshman.
No actions were used. The readers stood when the character they were portraying entered into the conversation of the play. Voices and facial expressions alone were used to interpret the characters, actions, and mood of the performance.
The play centered around a woman's wish to remain young in appearance and the results of this wish when it came true. When Sarah Moonlight returned after many years looking just as young as the day she left, she became the rival of her daughter in an unfortunate romance. Posing as her daughter's cousin, Sarah gains only the girl's hatred and her own unhappiness.
Men's Glee Club Completes Tour
The University Men's Glee Club returned Wednesday evening from its three-day spring concert tour through the state. The men, under the direction of Prof. Joseph Wilkins, sang at Topeka, Miltonvale, Concordia, Glasco, Beloit, Minneapolis, Salina, and Chapman.
The program was made up of "The Banner of Old K. U.," by Tom Waring, Fred Waring, and Pat Ballard; "Tenebrae Factae Sunt," by Palestrina; "The Interrupted Serenade," by Haydn and Thomas Oliphant; a selected number by the Jayhawk quartet; "Loch Lomond," arranged by Roy Ringwald; "The Scissors - Grinder." Flemish folk-song arranged by Jungst; "Turn Ye To Me," Scotch folk-song arranged by A. D. T. and featuring Bill McIntire in a solo; "Ay, Ay, Ay," a Creole song arranged by Stickles; the "Joe College" skit written especially for the K. kit U. Men's Glee Club by Jack Laffer; "I'm a Jayhawk," by Bowles; and the traditional "Alma Mater."
The Beloit Alumni association presented each member of the glee club with a ticket to "How Green Was My Valley," featuring the famed Welsh singers, after the concert there Tuesday night. Following the performance, the glee club members serenaded various Beloit citizens and alumni members.
See the Salamanders Swimming at Snow Hall
Men making the trip were: Mac
If you have a few minutes you would like to spend in an interesting manner, saunter Snow-ward and see the salamanders in the basement aquarium of Snow hall.
These salamanders represent what one might call "living fossils," since most of the forms related to them have been extinct for several million years. They are not eels or fish. There are three of them in the aquar-
run, representing two species. There are two specimens of the species "Siren." This species has anterior legs and feathery gills. The hind legs have disappeared.
These forms are both related to the fossil from the middle Miocene period in central Texas, which was studied and identified by Dr. E. H. Taylor, professor of zoology, this fall. This fossil, that of a large worm-like reptile, possibly two feet long, and lacking legs was sent to Dr. Taylor by Dr. Curtis Hesse, a graduate of the University.
The second species, commonly known as "Congers" and occasionally as "Conger Eels," has both front and hind limbs, but these are widely separated. In this case the gills are missing but they are present in younger animals.
The fossil was remarkable in that it was only the second specimen of amphibian that has even been found in the Miocene layer. The animal was thought to be about 25 million years old.

W.A.A. Committee Nominates Officers
A nominating committee was chosen at the Women's Athletic association meeting yesterday to nominate officers of that organization for next year. Members of the committee are Lura Jane Smith, Alta Bingham, Kathryn Hines, Kathryn Schaake, and Miss Joie Stapleton, assistant professor of physical education.
Members of Tau Sigma, women's honorary dance sorority, presented at the meeting a program of three modern dance themes. Miss Melba Schilling interpreted the dances. The first, "Regimentation" represented the monotony and constant timing of military life. To the music of the Golliwog's "Cakewalk" from Debussy's Children's Corner," the dancers imitated the jerky movement of the mythical creatures, the Golliwogs.
In the last number, "Profanity," the group depicted the separation of dancing from religious ceremonies. Dancing was included in the first religious ceremonies but changing views on dancing have resulted in complete separation.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
So much talk was made about Gerald Tucker's great scoring performances this year that Big Six fans must have forgotten about a couple of Kansas boys.
In Sunday's Kansas it was pointed out that Ralph Miller scored an even 100 points in his last five games. This was one point better than Tucker's record in the last five games of Oklahoma's Big Six schedule.
ENGLEMAN'S MARK TOPS THEM ALL
But go back to last year and you find even a better record. Howard Engleman popped 102 points in his first five games last year for an average of 20.4 points a game. "Rope" continued on his scoring ways for the next three games as he totaled 51 points to give him 153 points or an average of 19.125 points a game. He dropped off territorially in his last two games, scoring only five and seven points, to wind up with an average of 16.5 points a game and set his new record.
It is only natural to believe that Tucker would have been stopped eventually in his Big Six competition. The Oklahoma Aggies put the handcuffs on him at Stillwater and the two substitutes, Sam Aubrey and Gene Bell, held him to seven points. Last night he did a little better, scoring 13 points in the Sooner win, but these two Aggie games were two of Tuck's three worst performances.
After the game in Stillwater the other night Hank Iba, the Aggies silver-haired coach, made the following comment, "They're wrong if they think we used a zone defense against Tucker. I haven't used a zone defense in the 15 years I have been coaching and if I coach 15 more I won't use a zone. The plain facts of the case are that our boys were playing good defensive basketball. We figured before the game that Tucker had three places to go and we were lucky enough to be there. But it was stricty man-to-man defense. The kid is a great basketball player. He fought us all the way, but he didn't take many shots. For that matter, he didn't get many shots. He might have hit a few overhanders had he taken them, but he didn't. Bruce Drake has a well coached team and they're tough if you let them have a two count on you when they bring the ball down court. But we didn't and we won the game."
A SCORING-CONSCIOUS GROUP
Just when it looks as if a basketball scoring record to top all records has been set, along comes a spindly legged kid by the name of John "Brooms" Abramovic of Salem (W. Va.) college to threaten the latest mark. Stan "Stutz" Modzelewski, Rhode Island State's all-star center, has only New York Invitational Tournament remaining on his intercollegiate card before packing away its equipment but he has totaled 1,714 points which is the highest total in the history of major-college basketball. This broke Stanford's Hank Luisetti's mark of 1,596 points set in 1938.
Higher than Modzelewski's mark, however, is the record set by Ken Griffith last year for Alderson-Broaddus college of Philippi, W. Va., of 1,941 points. This stands as a record for schools playing minor schedules.
Last year it was thought that Griffith's mark was unbeatable but now along comes another cager from West Virginia, Abramovic, and it looks like he will raise the quota quite a bit. He has scored 656 points in 22 games this season for a 29.8 point average. He still has two games to play this year and has already totaled 1,407 points in three years of competition.
His 656 points already have broken Griffith's single season mark of 632 points and his 53 points in a game against West Virginia Wesalyn have ousted Luisetti's mark of 50 points against Duquesne from the record books. Next year Abramovic hopes to break the West Virginia conference mark of 632 points and the national small-college mark of Griffith's. If he continues at this year's pace he will accomplish all of these things and total well over 2,000 points. A mark like that will make even the cockiest freshman blink twice before betting that he can break it.
NOT EVEN HIGH SCHOOL CALIBER
Jottings from the mail-bag: It looks as if this column has an apology to make. . . . In a recent issue Oklahoma's tactics on the basketball floor were condemned as being reminiscent of high school players. . . . Word comes from W.R. Horn, principal and coach of Randolph (Kans.) High School and veteran of 27 years of coaching, stating that high school sportsmanship has passed many years ago the standard that Oklahoma exemplified against Kansas. . . . Now just where does that put Oklahoma? . . . Continuing in an Oklahoma vein, it is noted that Lester Layton, the Wichita lad who was included in the Allen-Drake verbal combat of two months back, was in the starting line-up yesterday as the Oklahoma Sooners opened their baseball schedule against Texas A. and M. . . . And as for Drake's whimpering concerning Oklahoma's ousting from the N.C.A.A. playoffs, it was too childish to even give thought to.
Glass in Effect As Backboards In NCAA Games
In commenting on the committee's decision, the Doctor, whose Jay-hawker quintet meets Henry Iba's Oklahoma Aggies in the Fifth District playoffs Tuesday evening, remarked: Rules Say It's Illegal
Announcement by the N.C. A.A. committee that clear plate glass backboards would be used in the Western finals at Kansas City, and in the national championship contest, drew a poignant observation from Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, today.
"The law of averages is against our getting in to use the glass backboards at all, inasmuch as we have defeated the Aggies in two previous playoffs for the right to important representations. But whether we get past them or not does not alter the fact that the use of such backboards is clearly illegal. Here is a tournament to determine the national collegiate basketball champion and the N.C.A.A. is sanctioning the use of illegal equipment."
Psi's Draw First Blood
In making the charge, Dr. Allen quoted Rule 2, Section 1, page 165 of the manual of official basketball guide for 1941-42 issued by the National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada, which reads:
"The backboard shall consist of plate glass, steel, or wood, or of any other material that is flat or rigid. Each face shall be a plane surface, and shall be painted white."
St. Petersburg, Fla., March 13.—(UP)—Joe DiMaggio, powerhouse New York Yankee outfielder voted the most valuable player in the American League last season, became baseball's highest salaried player of 1942 today by signing a contract reportedly calling for $42,000.
While Dr. Allen prefers the new kidney shaped backboard in use in the Big Six conference, and in many other regions of the country, he does not object strenuously to the N.C.A. A.'s decision to use the 4 x 6 rectangular board, which is also legal, but which, he declare, is outmoded. He believes that the visibility of people sitting behind the goals is increased at least 50 per cent by the use of the streamlined stops. And he believes emphatically that the players should not be penalized to accommodate the visibility of the spectators by the use of glass backboards.
Allen Likes Present Backboard
DiMaggio Gets 42,000 For Tops In Salaries
"A white backboard and a white net with a black rim, makes an excellent target," he said. With the use of clear glass, the efficacy of the target is reduced to too great an extent."

Steve Meade G John Conley
Clayton Kyle G Wally Hinshaw
Roscoe Hambric led the Fiji scorers with four field goals, as he repeatedly drove around his guard. Larry McSpadden, the Purple ace, hit three goals from center court, while big John Conley was the Phi Gam defensive standout.
The defending champions started out like a house on fire as Conley, Hambric, and McSpadden all hit goals before Hodge broke the scoring drought for the Phi Fsi's. At the end of the first quarter the Fiji's still held an 11 to 6 lead, largely due to Hambric's three goals.
A rampaging Phi Kappa Psi intramural basketball squad will try to make it three straight over Phi Gamma Delta when the two teams clash at 8:30 o'clock tonight in Robinson gym in the second game of the final championship playoff series. The Psi's take the floor one game up on their opponents thanks to last night's 37 to 30 win.
It was the second triumph of the year for the Phi Psi's over the defending champions, Ralph Miller's protegees having previously downed the Fiji's 42 to 32 in a regular season contest. The two Phi psi athletes are
test. The two Psi setbacks are the only Phi Gam losses of the year.
Last night the two squads battled neck and neck all the way, with a last quarter Phi Psi spurt proving too much for the defending champions. More than any thing else it was the sensational shooting of forward Bill Hodge that downed the Purple Machine. Hodge counted for eight field goals in all, many of them coming on downright sensational shots. Hodge received able scoring assistance from John Krum, his dependable running mate at the other forward position, who racked up nine tallies. Clayton Kyle turned in a fine defensive game for the winners, while tall John Hallberg took care of the rebounding chores. Halftime Score Is 17-All
In the second quarter the Phi
Hodge Is Star of Game
Should the Phi Psi's repeat their previous victories tonight, they will become the 1942 champions without further play. A Fiji victory would necessitate a third contest, scheduled for tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock.
Psi's began to put on the pressure, and with Hodge connecting from all over the court took over the lead midway in the period. However, a goal by Fiji reserve "Swede" Olson tied the score at halftime 17 to 17.
Phi Gam's Fail in Crisis
In the third period the lead changed hands with almost every goal as Hodge exchanged two-pointers with the Purple team. Going into the final quarter he and his mates held a 29 to 27 lead. Olson once again closed up the gap, but the Phi Gam's were unable to match the winner's last minute burst of scoring power as Meade, Krum, Kyle, and the ever-present Hodge all contributed to the growing Phi Psi total.
The winners showed no ill effects from the hard game they had played the previous night against Beta Theta Pi. Their passing was in spots ragged, but their shooting more than made up for it.

losers were Lawrence Nelson, who collected nine points for the game's scoring honors, and Craig Howes who controlled the rebounds during most of the game.
The men of Sigma Chi rang up six points during the first period before the Phi Delt's hit their first field goal. The winners then cut their opponent's lead to three points by the end
of that period. A Sigma Chi splurge stretched their lead to 13 to 6 midway in the second quarter before the new champions began to find the goal.
The Phi Delt's tied for the Division IV crown during the regular season play, while the Sigma Chi's were the co-champions of Division V. The triumph last night gave the Phi Delt's both of the intramural championships already decided, since their "C" squad took first place in that class last week.
Pittsburg Plays In Semi-Finals
Kansas City, Mo., March 13—(UP) Three Missouri Valley teams and a Minnesota five go into the semi-finals of the National Intercollegiate basketball tournament tonight.
Central Missouri Teachers of Warensburg plays Hamline University of St. Paul and Southeastern Oklahoma State of Durant plays the Pittsburg, Kan., Teachers in tonight's next-to-last round.
Southeastern eliminated its intrastate rivals, east central state of Ada, 46 to 41, in an overtime game. Pittsburg unseated Missouri Valley of Marshall, Mo., 59 to 49. Warrensburg took out the Bemidji, Minn., teachers, 46-32, and Hamline upset the Indiana State aggregation from Terre Haute, 45 to 41.
Southeastern put on a last ditch stand to beat East Central. Ada led through the first three quarters of the game. Then the boys from Durant grabbed a slim lead, lost it, and tied the count at the end of the regular period. Ortho Curtis bucketed a free throw in the overtime period and that was enough to win.
Spirit and Size Of Spring Squad Is Encouraging
The football coaches here are very enthused with the idea that they now have a large amount of material practicing to carry on the University's grid campaign next fall.
The squad is not too large in number but it has the spirit and the size necessary for a winning outfit. In the next week there will be several more lettermen report for practice. At present the men are having trouble with class schedules and this is expected to be straightened out soon. Also some of the players have not reported because the basketball season has not culminated as yet.
The first week of practice has been spent in conditioning. Most of the practices have consisted of learning a few plays and doing some fundamental blocking. But by the end of the next week the coaches plan to have the men in shape for scrimmage.
Spring practice promises to be interesting to both the players and to spectators this year. It is planned to divide the practice squad into teams and regular games will be played each Friday with officials present as in actual games in the fall.
The coaches are still in hopes that any student who is the least bit interested in playing some college football will come down and check out a suit. Now is the time, the coaches say, because plays which will be used next fall are learned in the spring practice.
Roberts of Oklahoma Likes Noisy Crowds
Even if they are riding him, A. D. "Ug" Roberts, Oklahoma's disheveled junior floor captain, likes his basketball crowds noisy
"You can play better ball if the bugs are letting it out," opines Roberts, "When a crowd is quiet, you don't feel like hustling."

"When we played at Manhattan this year, I was going in fast for a shot," Roberts tells. "They checked me under the goal and I passed off to Heap, and unable to stop myself, ran off the floor between two sections of the crowded stands out of view of the court.
"Heap made the bucket and the two teams ran down to the other end, but there were only four Sooners trying to guard five Kansas Staters. All our boys wondered where I was."
"I had a good reason for being absent. A bunch of Kansas State students, some of them wearing 'K' sweaters, were holding me down behind the bleachers. It took me 15 seconds to fight my way loose.
"In the last three seconds of the same game we were leading by one point and I had the ball out of bounds. I pulled my arm back to pass to Mitch Simon but some fan grabbed my arm. The ball fell off my hand. The officials hadn't seen it.
"I began to cry and swing and cuss a little. We had lost a game there last year although we were leading by two points with five seconds left to play and were throwing the ball in from out of bounds. I didn't want it to happen again.
Just then, the gun went off ending the game."
Cyclone Razzing Is Organized
Roberts says Iowa State's famous "Shifty Section," a body of more than 100 handpicked student bugs who sit in the tiny Cyclone gym and ride the enemy hot-shot all through the game, is the best organized group of razzers he ever saw.
When Oklahoma played at Ames last year, the "Shifty Section" was on Roberts. This year their victim was big Gerald Tucker. They would deliver their barbs in unison so it could be heard all over the building. When Tucker came out on the court, the Cyclone razz section chanted together, "Who's number 33?" Then came the roaring answer, "He's shifty!"
From then on, Tucker was a marked man. Every time he'd shoot, the "Shifty Section" would yell in unison, "No! No!". If he made the goal, theyd shout in cadence, "Yes." If he missed their moaning intenation would be, "Boo." Happily, big Tuck was having a particularly good night and his 25 points eventually silenced them.
Jayhawk Stage Kids "Wild"
Roberts says the Nebraska student spectators are good jockeys and come down on the court after the game to congratulate visiting players. He says the older fans do this at Ames but not the students. He described Kansas crowds as "pretty wild, especially the kids on the

The KANSAN Comments...
Let's Organize
Organization of civilian defense work on the Hill can be compared in almost every detail to that of the national organization.
Differences in the two organizations:
(1) Faculty and student organizers are not paid for their effort.
(2) Leadership on the campus has not been decided.
Likenesses in the two organizations:
(3) On the Hill, funds have not been set aside for entertainment.
(1) Students and faculty members, like the United States public, have been accused of smugness, complacency, indifference, apathy, overconfidence, disinterest, negligence, and cowardice. Accusations have come from virtually the same phrase makers—politicians, propagandists, candidates, alphabetists, office holders,"spokesmen," "high authorities," writers, do-gooders, parasites, proponents of the new order, students, and faculty members.
(2) Efficient organization and coordination of leadership has been slow on the Hill as has it been in the Office of Civilian Defense. Everyone has different ideas as to what should be done; consequently little is done.
(3) Organizers who are working honestly, energetically, and quietly at the University have unduly criticized.
The accusation of complacency on the part of University members is unfounded, as is the accusation against the United States public. Students and faculty members, like the people of the nation, have been ready to go, ready to do what was bid of them ever since May, 1940. They are not afraid for their money, their businesses or material possessions. They are not afraid to fight, but they are afraid of incompetent leadership.
Determination and willingness to give up time and energy was evidenced by the turnout of women at the W.S.G.A. sewing room, after it was organized efficiently.
Leadership in the Hill organization is divided among at least three committees. Naturally there cannot be harmony in their decisions. Representatives of these groups should combine into one organization and direct the pent-up energies of the student body. Is it necessary that we on the Hill make the mistakes of the OCD?
---O---
The German admission that their armies are on the defensive in Russia must come as a shock to the world!
Paper and the War
Prices of popular magazines are going up. The Saturday Evening Post, for decades a nickel a copy, will sell for 10 cents. Liberty Magazine will advance to a dime. Tht Ladies' Home Journal is now 15 cents, and Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan are considering charging 30 cents. Within the last few days Collier's has advanced in price, also.
Salesmen from wholesale paper houses no longer promise to match papers. Women's clubs that have identical covers on their annual booklets from year to year are using a different type of cover this year—probably not as good in quality as before.
Those individuals who prefer snow-white stationery are being warned to lay in a supply of this luxury while it is still available.
Why? It is the war. Chlorine, from which Clorox and such products are made, are used to bleach papers; it is also used in vital war industries, as when it is combined to form chlorides, such as sulfur, carbon, silicon, phosphorus, arsenic, aluminum, tin, and antimony. It is used to extract or recover metals, as tin and gold, from scrap tin cans and ores.
Chlorine is used in the manufacture of disinfectants, drugs, and dyes. It is used to sterilize drinking water and the water in swimming pools. In World War I, nearly all poison gases used were either free chlorine or compounds of chlorine.
Now the paper industry willingly plays second fiddle to the war industry.
Although loss of advertising is one important element in the price-hiking of "Satevepost" and other magazines, the increase in the cost of printing papers is serious. Printers no longer promise their customers exactly what they ordered and they feel free to substitute when necessary. Priorities have hit the paper industry, and printers under contract for a job often have reason to tear their hair because their orders from the paper houses are delayed, often indefinitely. Sometimes increase in prices means pecuniary loss on the contract.
Higher prices for less quality is one of the sacrifices we must make for defense. The publishing business is affected as seriously as any other industry. And, the public is helping to pay for it.
That is war.

Shades of Daisy-Mae dep't.: Marjorie May and Mildred Hall, walking from someplace to someplace the other day, fell into argument as women are apt to do.
"You'd better be nice to me, gal," says Marjorie to Mildred. "After, you are wearing my anklets."
"Well, if that's the way you feel about it, "says Mildred to Marjorie, "you can just have them back."
Whereupon, she removed both her shoes and Marjorie's stockings and walked home barefoot through all kinds of bad weather conditions.
In Professor Taylor's Sight Singing class the other day, Leo Goertz was working madly on a rather difficult quiz. The harder he worked, the more his long, blond hair hung in his face. He bent lower and lower over the desk. Finally, Professor Taylor, noticing him, remarked, "Goodness, when Goertz is working so hard, he almost looks like Veronica Lake."
The Pi K.A.'s live far enough down the Hill that sometimes early in the morning they can hear the 6 a.m. whistle blow downtown. The other mornning, T. P.

He helped waken those boys he thought had 8:30's and then started downstairs for breakfast before he discovered that it was only very slightly after 6 a.m.
Hitler's Program For Organizing German Youth
Herr Adolf Schickelgruber Hitler—the Austrian paper-hanger who, it is alleged, never could hang paper straight—has one weapon that is no "secret weapon." In fact, it has been constantly publicized; it is his organization of Germany's youth. The essence of German youth movement lies behind one single aim: to restore the strength of Germany as a great power.
Call of the Wild
Nazi organizations such as Hitler Jugend (Hitler youth), (League of German girls) take in hand German youngsters ranging in age from 10 to 18. It is not absolutely voluntary that 10-year-olds enroll, but the result of Nazi high-pressure recruiting technique results in almost every eligible child joining. Jewish children, of course, are not allowed in the organization.
The program can be outlined approximately like this:
Nazi organizations such as the Jung Volk (young folk), Hitler Jugend (Hitler youth), and Bund Deutscher Maedel Germany girls) take. $ \circ $
In the Jung Volk group the recruits get Nazi propaganda and sound physical conditioning. They are also encouraged in such sports a s glider - flying, model - airplane building, marksmanship and the elemental principles of seamanship. They wear scouting uniforms, go on long hikes and learn to live in the open air and according to the call of nature.
Adolf Hitler Schools
At the age of 14, the most promising of the Jung Volk are taken into the Hitler Jugend, where they receive more technical training. Those showing an aptitude for mechanics get further instruction in operation and repair of automotive vehicles and a chance to learn something about tanks, warplanes, and anti-aircraft guns.
While all this has been going on, a selective draft has been earmarking the most promising youngsters for political and military leadership. Those recommended—for special training are admitted to "Adolf Hitler schools," and if they measure up to the stringent standards they can qualify, at 18, for enrollment at an "Ordenburg," which is a kind of university for Nazi leaders. Before matriculating, however, they must serve a year in the labor battalions and two years in the regular army. At the Ordenburg the students pass from one "burg" to another, getting a year or six months' ing
struction in each. They are thus full-fledged graduate leaders at the age of 29, especially since tests of courage and leadership weed out all but the fearless. For example, should a student be ordered to jump from a flying plane, and he hesitates for one moment, he has flunked a very important exam.
Even before they are old enough for military service, consequently, members of the youth organization fit into the military set-up simply because they are organized on a nation-wide scale. The chief distinction of the German youth mobilization is that it began long before the war—and in anticipation of a war—so that it could be of value when the struggle began.
Of course every German youth who has attained the age of 18 must register for compulsory service, whether or not he has made good in the Hitler youth, whether jobless or gainfully employed, whether rich or poor.
Rifle Teams To Booneville For Annual Valley Meet
One of the new ROTC. army trucks loaded with rifles and ammunition and with Sgt. George Davolt at the wheel, left Lawrence yesterday at 1 p.m. for Booneville, Mo. The University rifle teams will compete there in the annual rifle matches for schools in the Missouri valley, this weekend.
Following the truck was a cavalcade consisting of Col. and Mrs. Gage, Master Sgt. and Mrs. Kolllender, seven members of the women's rifle team, and six members of the men's rifle team. The group will return Sunday.

U.S. Hits Jap Lines Of Supply
Washington, March 13—(UP) —American naval and air forces today were striking telling blows at Japan's long supply lines in strategy designed to put the enemy on the defensive and gain time for bolstering Australian defenses.
American bombers and submarines have sunk at least six ships and damaged five others in attacks reaching from waters around Japan down along her 1,800-mile-long supply line to New Guinea and the northern approaches to Australia.
Heavy offensive attacks, carried out in conjunction with Dutch, Australian and British forces, already have sunk, destroyed, or beached 13 Japanese transports. Admiral Thomas C. Hart, just returned here from command of the United Nations naval forces in the southwest Pacific, said two days ago that the growing Japanese ship losses were bound to be of "great future concern" for the enemy.
Maintenance of the long Japanese supply line requires hundreds of ships and the stepped-up sinkings of the past few days are certain to have important effects upon the enemy's strategy, naval experts said. Japan's capacity to replace lost ships, such as transports, is limited and cannot begin to match that of the United Nations.
Japan's Capacity Limited
More important is that the Japanese realize that unless they can maintain the momentum of their drive, the advantage is lost, since it has now been revealed that important American convoys are moving into the southwest Pacific, and American aerial forces, including flying fortresses, are based on Australia.
The latest American assault by submarines, announced by the Navy late yesterday appeared to give support to a statement by Hart that flanking attacks against Japan constitute the favorite strategy of American naval forces at this stage.
Allies Would Slash Supply Line
Naval experts interpreted that statement as meaning that the United nations eventually would move in great force through Japan's mandated Pacific islands and slash at her supply line—right up to the China coast.
The latest attacks, it was believed, may force the Japanese high command in Tokyo to decide now whether it will push on with further offensive against Australia or perhaps India, or whether it will halt and consolidate its hastily-won prizes.
The situation, according to Naval experts, has reached the point where Japan, by striking at Australia or India, would not directly menace the storehouses of British or American power, whereas if the United Nations should take the initiative Japan's key centers and arteries of supply would be in danger.
Palmer's Composition Heard on WIBW Sunday
"Sonata for Piano" by Robert Palmer, instructor of piano in the School of Fine Arts, will be played before the Twentieth Century Music Club of Philadelphia next Thursday by Walter Hendl, concert pianist.
One of Palmer's compositions for violin solo and small orchestra will be heard on the aid over the Milestones of America program Sunday, March 29. The broadcast will be heard in this area over station WIBW of Topeka.
Jap Invasion Pincers Strike Solomon Isles
Melbourne, Australia, March 13—(UP)A Japanese thrust into the Solomon Islands despite many Allied aerial counter-blows today indicated an attempt to cut supply lines from America and spread a huge pincers around northern Australia in preparation for an invasion.
Earlier Air Minister Arthur S. Drakeford announced today that a Japanese naval force had been reported off Buka Island, at the north end of the Solomons, three days ago but it was not known whether it had landed troops.
Australian planes sighted the fleet in the vicinity of the island, Drakeford revealed.
Radio Melbourne, recorded in London, said Allied airplanes met Japanese bombers and fighters off Port Moresby again today, and Australian planes raided enemy bases on New Guinea and New Britain Islands. No details of either action were reported.

Cello in Upper
★★★
Two-Man Job
Buying an extra berth for his cello, whenever his concert dates call for night traveling, is considered imperative by Emanuel Feuermann, distinguished cellist who will give a recital here next Wednesday evening.
Feuermann never lets his his $35,000 Stradivarius out of his sight. And since cellos are too cumbersome to leave in train aisles or to crowd into the same berth with one's self, he of necessity has to book an upper and a lower.
It's a two-man job getting the instrument into the upper but the cellist feels safer with it above him because no one can easily lift it down during the night without awakening him. Daytime travel finds the cello in a Pullman chair. When the cellist is at home in Scarsdale, N. Y., the cello "sleeps" in a bed. Feuermann's instrument is often called "The Last Cello" because it was the last instrument of its kind made by Stradivarius. Experts have pronounced it one of the finest examples of the work of that master craftsman.

Gagliardo Says---
U.S. Must Choose Between Guns, Butter
"It is better to be an independent totalitarian nation of our own than to be under the brutal or benign totalitarian control of some other people." With this challenging statement Prof. D. Gagliardo, professor of economics, closed the sixth World at War lecture in Fraser hall last night.
Professor Gagliardo had led to this conclusion by presenting an account of "Organization for Conquest" and defining total war in its psychological, mili- $ ^{ \circ} $
Must Wage Total War
Said Professor Gagliardo: "We must learn to wage total war. The objection to this, that we will inevitably become like our totalitarian enemy, may be true, but if it happens, it is not necessary that we emulate barbarianism and cruelty or irrevocably remain so."
"However, it is necessary that we face the facts. We want both butter and guns, but we can't have both."
Professor Gagliardo stated that war was universally glorified by the Fascists when an expedient was needed for an end, and that end is world domination.
In addition to the traditional military force, Hitler, "mastermind in treachery," employs two new weapons, psychology and economics.
Hitter made the Germans to feel that the treaty of Versailles was grossly unjust, said Gagliando. "He elevated barbarism and debauchery to the height of a crusade by mysticism and fanaticism, and made the Germans like it."
Reduced People to Serfdom
Hitler has reduced labor to serifdom, eliminated trade unions by taking them over into the Nazi regime, established a labor front, and stabilized wages at the lowest price in effect during the depression.
He has whipped the people into line by allocating materials only to those who are obedient, cash and carry is allowed only to those same individuals, and concentration camps take care of the imprudent few.
Professor Gagliardo listed five lessons to be learned. The first was to mobilize and use a powerful military force, at whatever cost, the more "offensive" the better. Economic strength should also be mobilized "to the end that an invincible fighting force can be created." Must Reduce Standards
To win the war it will be necessary to reduce our standards of living. Pay must go down, hours must go up, and since the cost of living is steadily rising, present necessities will be considered in the light of luxuries.

Roberts says none of the Big Six throngs compare in difficulty with the crowds that used to see the games at El Reno, Okla., hotbed of high school basketball in the Sooner state.
"At El Reno, the spectators used to sit along the sidelines." Roberts says. "If you were dribbling fast down the sideline, they'd stick out a foot and trip you. Sometimes they'd fire an orange or an apple

Musical Groups Shine Final Vespers Today
An "all-out" Musical Vespers will be presented at 4 o'clock this afternoon in Hoch auditorium with the six major musical organizations on the Hill taking part.
Appearing on the program will be the University Symphony orchestra, the University band, the A Cappella choir, both the Men's and Women's Clas Club. $ \textcircled{4} $
and the University String quarret.
The Vespers will open with the A Cappella choir and Symphony orchestra presenting a choral version of the opening section of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony entitled "To Victory" by a former University student, Mr. S. A. McReynolds. The symphony orchestra, under director Karl Kuersteiner, will play the Russian tone-poem, "A Night on Bald mountain," which is one of the episodes depicted in the current Walt Disney film, "Fantasia."
The Women's Glee Club will appear in three of the most effective numbers from its concert repertoire under its director, Miss Irene Peacody.
Of particular interest to music lovers will be the first performance here of a newly composed quintet for piano and strings by Prof. Carl Preyer of the School of Fine Arts faculty. Only the opening movement will be played due to the length of the program. The University string quartet and the composer at the piano will present the number.
The Men's Glee Club, under director Joseph Wilkins, will be heard in two interesting folk songs.
The University A Cappella choir, directed by Dean D. M. Swarthout, will sing four selections including a highly descriptive "Windy Nights" by Noble Cain; a "Requiem" by Granville Bantock based on the well-known poem by Robert Louis Stevenson; "De Sheepfol", by Clokey in which Minerva Davis will sing the solo; and a closing number, "The Bells of St. Michael's Power."

'Dakar' Author To Shed Light On Dark Africa
Dr. Emil Lengyel, International News feature writer and author of the only authoritative book on "Daakar" in the English language, will be presented in Convocation at 10 o'clock next Thursday morning.
Dr. Lengyel will speak on "Dakar," the French West African country which Germany is using as a spearhead directed at the Americas. After the temporary Tans-Saharan Railway line has been completed by in about six months—the Germans the French at German instigation—will have direct access to Dakar without going outside Gibraltar, and in this way can reach the Americas in five flying hours.

3-Term
Pep Rally Tomorrow For Team Send-Off
A pep rally will be held at 10:20 tomorrow morning to send off an even more enthusiastic team for the elimination game between the Jay-hawkers and Oklahoma A. and M.'s Cowboys in Kansas City, Tuesday night.
Dr Forrest C. (Phog) Allen will address the crowd, and the band will play several numbers. "Mit" Allen may also make a short speech, Roy Edwards, president of the Ku Ku's, announced yesterday.
High School Seniors Compete For Scholarships
The cardinal point of discussion will concern the ways and problems of putting the houses and organizations on a three-term basis. In the recent questionnaire conducted by the committee, students favored the extension of Hill activities and organizations to the summer sessions by a vote of 1170 to 573.
The team is leaving at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on the Santa Fe streamliner. If K.U. wins the game, the Kansas team will enter the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament in Kansas City Friday and Saturday, representing the fifth district of the western division.
The committee, composed of Eldon Beebe, business senior; Verlyn Norris, college junior; and Wright, will also explain and establish the groundwork for a waste paper conservation contest among organized houses. Prizes will be awarded to three winners, Wright said, in the form of defense bonds.
Severity-two high school seniors from this section of Kansas took the regional Summerfield scholarship examination in Marvin hall yesterday.
Defense Meeting Called for Monday
Examinations were also given at Wichita, Salina, Colby, Dodge City, and Chanute. Between 30 to 35 will be selected for the final trials to be held here April 20 and 21. Ten to twelve will receive scholarships.
A bill will be introduced at the Men's Student Council meeting Monday night to provide for the placing of the Council on a three-term basis, Dave Watermulder, president of the MSC, announced yesterday.
In pursuance of active Hill participation in national defense activities, the War-Defense committee of the Men's Student Council has called a meeting of the presidents of organized houses and presidents or representatives of Hill organizations in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building Monday afternoon at 4:30 Orville Wright, chairman of the committee, announced.
The purpose of the meeting, Wright explained, was to present and discuss those Hill activities which require the full cooperation of the organized houses. Those expected to attend have been notified.
(continued to page eight)
Also to be considered at the meeting is a plan for collecting current magazines from organized houses to send to army camp libraries. The committee will mail the magazines every Saturday, at its own expense, to the libraries of the camps requesting them. It has already received requests from U.S.O. organi-

Three hundred and fifty high school students representing thirty high schools attended the annual high school art exhibit and conference held Friday and yesterday at the Memorial Union building.
Students from the various high schools brought their work to the Hill, where it is now exhibited and being criticised. On Saturday morning critics discussed the exhibitions with teachers and students. Critics were Professor Howard Church of Washburn University, Miss Syble Malm of Haskell Institute, and Miss Martha Abbott of Kansas City, Mo.
350 Gather For H.S. Art Conference
Friday night Fletcher Martin head of the department of painting at the Kansas City Art Institute, was speaker at a banquet given for the delegates, followed by a dance in the Kansas Room. Banquet decorations were carried out after an Indian theme.
Students from Haskell Institute entertained with dances and an explanation of their costumes and customs. Mr. Martin explained that even though a large part of these students would not go on with their art work, they were learning an appreciation for art.
The main purpose of the conference was to give the students an opportunity to compare their work with the work of other entrants.
Science Conference Here Next Weekend
The annual Physical Science conference will be held at the University in a one-day meeting beginning on next Saturday morning. High school students will attend from all parts of the state.
The Physical Science conference is sponsored by the departments of chemistry, physics and chemical engineering.
There will be physics exhibits and demonstrations in Blake hall, room 110. Chemical engineering and chemistry exhibits will be in Bailey chemical laboratories and the chemical engineering laboratory.
Registration will be at 9:30 a.m. on March 21, in the main corridor of Fraser hall. This will be followed by a general assembly and a luncheon. The Saturday afternoon program will feature a series of lectures and roundtable discussions.
*of the Council, announced yesterday.
The war-defense committee, an organ of the M.S.C. has stressed the extension of University activities and organizations to the summer session as a part of their elaborate war-defense program. In a meeting Monday afternoon of the presidents of Hill organizations, the committee will recommend that the organizations go on a three-term basis.
Student Vote Favorable
Reasons expressed by Watermulder for the introduction of such a bill are:
1. Much work for the war-defense committee will remain during the summer. Most of the Council activity during the summer session would consist of war-time and defense activities.
2. More than 1000 students voted favorably for the establishment of Hill organizations and activities on a three-term basis in the recent questionnaire conducted by the war-defense committee.
The bill will be introduced tomorrow night for first reading. The Council will act upon it at second and third reading at the next regular M.S.C. meeting.
The summer Council would be composed of the same membership as the regular group, Watermulder said, insofar as those members attended

St. Pat Slayed 'Em Shamrocks Tuesday
By VIRGINIA TIEMAN
So Tuesday will be St. Patrick's day with the same old shamiek, same old green, and the same old snake! This whole thing was at 1500 years ago when St. Patrick was born in 387, so the roman Catholic authorities say. Some persons declare he was born in Ireland, some say France, but just to be different let's take it Scotland.
At a very early age this patron saint the Emerald Isle was sold into slavy, but after several years his aggressiveness led him to escape to island. He completed a brilliant idy (anyway a study) of religion and finally received a commission on the Pope to work in Ireland d that's where the snakes stepped (correction: crawled in).
ot 'Em All But One
One traditional story tells us that Patrick banished all the snakes it one from the island. The exact manner in which the snake charmer did this is just a little vague. Whether played on pipes like the Pied Der of Hamelin and led the snakes to a mountain or whether he drove em into the sea with a horse whip, he leave to your own choice.
Now this one remaining creature as a stubborn born so when he reused to leave the country "the politeay" St. Patrick had to act as a uncer. All the tricks of the trade are used but to no avail. Finally e objector to the invasion of the unless reptiles decided to try an ash version of "Come into my par—" He made a little box and ined the serpent to enter, but the
lowly animal said, "—no!" (Stubborn,
wasn't he?)
Even though the snake thought the box was too small, he finally slid in
quietly and that is when St. Patrick slammed the lid shut and threw the box into the sea. (Unfair tactics, if you ask me.) So that is how the day of wearing of the green got off to a good start. And of all the things it hasn't resulted in—
On the anniversary of the saint's death, March 17, banquets and celebrations have been held. In 1920 after the constitutional amendment forbidding the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors went into effect, Judge Joseph Rogers of the Common Pleas spoke at a dinner of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in Philadelphia.

Sportin' Around

STANFORD HAS HEIGHT GALOI
The line-up for the N.C.A.A. tournament in Kansas City this week may turn out to be quite similar to the one two years ago. At that time Rice, Colorado, Southern California, and Kansas were the competing teams.
This year Rice and Colorado are definite entries with Kansas a strong prospect. The Jayhawkers must beat Oklahoma A. and M. Tuesday night to insure a spot in the playoffs. The other team, however, will be different.
STANFORD HAS HEIGHT GALORE
This year's team at Stanford is entirely different from last year's Southern Division championship crew. Coaches in the Cardinals' division last year picked all five of Stanford's starting line-up as their all-star team and yet the outfit lost to Washington State in the playoffs for the Eighth District representative to the N.C.A.A. meet.
Stantord is the choice from the West Coast and will be a definite threat on the basis of their season's record. Until last night's game with Oregon State the Indians had won 23 games and lost only three.
Whereas last season's quintet had slick ball-handlers and speedsters but very little height, this year's five has considerable height plus the other attributes. Co-captains Don Burness and Bill Cowden were the tallest men on the team last year at six foot three but this season they are the smallest men on the court.
Additions to the starting line-up include Ed Voss, six foot five and one-half inch center, Howard Dallmar, six foot four inch forward, and Jim Pollard, six foot four and one-half inch guard.
Pollard is the outstanding scoring threat on the team. He was the star and leading scorer of last year's freshman team and rated as the greatest prospect to hit the Stanford varsity since the days of Hank Luisetti. He was ineligible for the first seven games of this season but played in enough conference games to rank second in scoring behind Ernie Handelsman of U.C.L.A.
HOW ABOUT WARMERDAM FOR KANSAS RELAYS
Odds and ends: One of the many little dramas that will be happening at the N.C.A.A. playoffs this week in Kansas City will feature Bob Kirchner, six foot three inch junior from Topeka who is a regular guard on Frosty Cox's championship crew from Colorado. . . Kirchner's mother broke her shoulder recently but this will not stop her from seeing her son in action on the court. . . Mrs. Kirchner plans to reserve two seats at the game and let her right arm be extended over the vacant seat as she watches the Buffaloes attempt to annex the title which they failed to gain two years ago. . . In that tournament it will be remembered, Colorado lost to Southern California 38 to 32 and then in a consolation game dropped a tilt to Rice Institute, 60 to 54. . . The same year, however, the Buffs captured the New York Invitational tournament by defeating DePaul 52 to 37 and Duquesne 51 to 40.
Two members of that team, George Hamburg and Leason McCloud, are regulars hits year and were co-captains last year. . . . On International News Service all-star Big Seven team were McCloud, Hamburg, and Bob Doll, another member of the championship crew of 1940. . . . The Denver Post named these same three on it's first team. . . Kenny Sailors, the Wyoming flash who made such a hit last year at Kansas City, made both teams at forward . . . Bill Strannigan, Wyoming's married guard, made I.N.S.'s team and announced that he would play with the Denver Legion in the A.A.U. tournament at Denver this week. . . . The Associated Press all-Big Seven team had the same three Colorado players and Sailors but included Delbert Smith of Utah at the other guard. . . This was identical to the Denver Post's team.
Here's an idea for the Kansas Relays—Brigham Young is trying to line up pole vaulter Cornelius Warmerdam for its outdoor relays next month. . . His appearance in Lawrence would practically assure the financial success of the event. . . . Sam Francis, former all-Big Six star footballer from Nebraska, will have charge of the physical fitness along with Gene Tunney at Wyoming's football coaches' school in June. . . . How many remember Ernie "One Grand" Schmidt, the lad who used to rack up the buckets for John Lance's Pittsburgh cage team. . . . He's one of the better handball players now and will enter the A.A.U. meet at Denver March 28. . . . Another coach who is doubling in basketball and baseball is Ev Shelton, Wyoming coach. . . . During the last two weeks of the cage season he held workouts for his baseball batterymen. . . He and Allen should get together. . . . As should Phog and Ward "Piggy" Lambert, Purdue's basketball coach, who was honored at a dinner Tuesday night for his 25 years of Big Ten basketball coaching. . . . War takes its toll again with the announcement that the Greeley State Relays, started nine years ago for high school athletes, will be discontinued until the war is over.

Phi Gam's Win Two To Take I-M Title
BY DON KEOWN
The Phi Gamma Delta intramural basketball five once again proved they have the stuff champions are made from, as they came from behind during the weekend to drop the Phi Kappa Psi quintet twice and gain their third consecutive intramural basketball championship in Class A.
The champions had dropped the first game of the championship two-out-of-three series Thursday night, but came back with a 33 to 29 victory Friday night and a 43 to 40 triumph yesterday morning.
Healey Plays With Broken Foot
The Saturday game was a thrilling finish to a successful intramural basketball season as both teams turned on the steam to reel off as fine a 32 minutes of basketball play as intramural fans have witnessed this year. Fans were continually on their feet as the Fiji's staved off a desperate last quarter Psi attack.
The game had no individual standouts, as both teams had their heroes. For the winners there was burly "Swede" Olson, a reserve who was moved up to the first string because of Chain Healy's injured leg and who acquitted himself nobly with a 12 point performance; little Roscoe Hambric who repeatedly drove around his guard for setups; and "Silent" John Conley, a defensive stone-wall.
A High-Scoring First Half
The losing Psi's could point with pride to Bill Hodge, who lived up to his reputation as the most dangerous man in intramurals by racking up 17 points; Clayton Kyle, a fighting guard who at times in the third and final quarters seemed destined to bring the Psi's back from defeat single-handedly; and "Long" John Hallberg, who used his height for rebounding purposes that at times threatened to spell disaster for the defending champions.
The first quarter of the contest was principally a scoring race between Olson and the Phi Psi队 with the Fiji's holding a 13 to 10 lead at the end of the period. Midway in the second quarter the Phi Psi's tied the score at 17 all on Hallberg's tip shot, and a little later Hodge's sensational sharpshooting put them ahead. The Phi Gam's recovered however to lead 25 to 21 at halftime.

final quarter Hallberg brought the Psi rooters to their feet with a tip in that tied the count. But ever goals by Hodge and Kyle were more than matched by the Phi Gam's Walle Hinshaw and Olson. The last minute of play saw the Phi Gam's stalling desperately.

'42 Daily Kansan Intramural All-Stars
Phi Psi's And Fiji's Dominate
BY DON KEOWN
The two playoff finalists, the champion Phi Gamma Delta quintet and the runnerup Phi Kappa Psi five, dominated this year's Daily Kansan all intramural basketball squad, placing two men each on the first team. The remaining position went to last year's second place team, Newman I.
McSpadden Had "Everything"
Repeating for the third successive year at one forward position is Larry McSpadden, the Phi Gam's scintillating point-gathering machine. McSpadden is one of the smoothest ball handlers ever to grace an intramural floor, but it is in collecting the baskets that he really excels.
The best long shot to appear in Robinson gym this year, he can also hit set-ups and push in the rebounds. During the past season the former ElDorado High star, where he was an All-Ark Valley selection, averaged 12.1 points per game. He consistently drew the toughest guard the opposition could offer, and just as consistently continued to ring up the points.
McSpadden's scoring activities were slowed down somewhat in the earlier playoff contests, in which he was switched to guard position, but his fine team-play shone even more brilliantly than before. Opposing players agree that McSpadden has everything.
Hodge Was Phi Psi Spark
Bennett and Mathews Named
In addition to his offensive value, Hodge is an aggressive defensive man second to few. He more than any other man is responsible for the surprising march of the Phi Psi's this year. When the opposition was hot, he got hotter. The mighty Phi Gam's better than anyone else can testify as to how dangerous Hodge can be. He wasn't stopped during the entire year, and he met the best competition available.
The other forward post goes to the toast of Phi Kappa Psi, one Bill Hodge, an unorthodox speedster who shoots every way but the correct way—and seldom misses. He connects when it counts the most, and when he's hot his scoring totals range into the twenties. Hodge boasts a scoring average of 12.7 during the past year—the second best in intramural competition.
One second string forward berth went to Rans Bennett, Beta Theta Pi "Cinderella" man whose name was unknown till mid-season and who suddenly flashed into prominence with a 33 point total in a single game, then followed it with more sensational exhibitions of scoring power. His running mate is Bill Mathews of Pi Kappa Alpha. Mathews, who has had varsity experience, was the mainspring of the well-balanced Pi K. A. attack.
Named to third string forward positions were Mac Frederick, Carruth ace, and John Krum, fork-shot

speedster of the Phi Psil's. Other forwards given serious consideration were Don Graham, Newman II; Dick Webb, Alpha Tau Omega; and Harold Wright, Alpha Chi Sigma.
Lanky Hallberg Gains Spot
Holding down the center position this year is the tallest man in intramural ball, John Hallberg of Phi Kappa Psi. Hallberg, who stands six foot six, has had varsity experience, and according to many observers made the difference between last year's fair Phi Psi quintet and this year's great team. Hallberg's scoring average this year was 9.8 points per game.
lon's Oliver Bryan is the only man not playing on a playoff contender who rated on one of the first three teams. The third string center had the best scoring average of any intramural player with 13.2 points per game. Other outstanding centers were Bill Atwell, Pi K. A.; Bob Bell, Newman II; and Francis Domingo, Theta Tau.
Second team center is the Beta's Harlan Altman, a dazzling ballhandler and inspiring court general. Altman can also score when the chips are down. Tau Kappa Epsi-
Healy Earns Captaincy
Even more valuable than Hallberg's scoring efforts, however, was his superb rebounding. Under his own and under his opponent's basket the big boy repeatedly brought down the ball off the backboards. It was his rebounding that was very largely responsible for the Phi Gam's first defeat at the hands of the Phi Psi's early in the season. He has a dead eye for free throws, and is an important part of the strong Phi Psi defensive structure.
The second man to repeat for the third successive year is another Fiji, Chain Healy, who nailed down a guard spot. The big quarterback of the Purple Machine is tops in both the offensive and defensive departments. Under the basket guards find it almost impossible to keep him under control. The entire Fiji attack rotates around him as he expertly feeds his forwards when they break for the basket. His rebounding is second only to Hallberg, and he holds a decided edge over the taller center on the defense.
Healy averaged 9.3 points per game during the regular season. In a single contest Healy hit 31 points, the second best single game effort of the year. He is probably the best all-around man on the team, and is considered by many observers to be intramural's most valuable man.
tailored with YOU in mind!
For this, he gains the captaincy of the all-stars.
Penny Earns Berth As Freshman
BUT, remember, this war's got us, too! We hope we can fill your bill. See us soon to avoid rising prices and decreasing supplies.
SCHULZ THE TAILOR
Amy Earns Berth As Freshman
Junius Penny breaks the Phi Fisi-
Phi Gam monopoly by grabbing the
other guard position. Penny,
a freshman, was a sensation at Lawr-
ence High during his junior and
senior years, and did oit slow down
an iota this year. He started the
season at guard, but was moved up in the Newman I lineup to a forward post. He plays either position with equal finesse.
Suiting You — That's Our Business
White Is Small But Good
Penny during the past season not only hanked first in total number of points collected, but probably also headed the list in per centage of shots hit. His two handed overhead shot is deadly. Under the basket he also is a source of trouble for hte opposition. His defensive talents were best exhibited in the playoff contest with the Phi Gam's, when he did the impossible and held McSpadden absolutely scoreless. In that same game Penny hit nine goals. Penny's only weakness is a tendency not to take the game seriously enough. Perhaps it is fortunate for the opposition he doesn't. His scoring average for the year was 11.7
Third string guards are Phi Gam Roscoe Hambric, normally a forward but entoley too good to be left off the squad, and another Phi Psi, hard-fighting Clayton Kyle.
John Conley, sturdy Phi Gam guard, holds down one of the second string spots, and with reason. A fine long shot, he also uses his size for defensive purposes with success. The other guard, Bob White of the Hell Hounds, is probably the best defensive man to see action on the Robinson courts this year. His spirit and speer also give him his share of his team's points too.
Other particularly fire guards were Glenn St. Aubyn, Carruth hall; Cliff Nordstrom, Newman I; Warren Lowen, Battenfeld hall; Frank Gage, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; and Steve eMade, Kipp Kappa Psi.
Best Officials Named
The Kansan's imaginary sportsmanship award goes jointly to the Hell Hounds and Phi Kappa Psi. As the best dressed squads the Newman teams and Phi Gamma Delta were nominated.
Ralph Miller was selected as turning in the outstanding coaching chore of the year, as he brought a Phi Kappa Psi team which spent the first part of the year in the shadow of mighty Phi Gamma Delta into championship prominence. As the best student officials seen in action this year, John Buescher, Frank Emerson, "Curly" Hayden, Chain Hearly, and T. P. Hunter were named.

The KANSAN Comments...
K.U. AND JOURNALISM
University of Kansas students and alumni seem to be doing well in the field of journalism. The most recent cases called to our attention are the appointments of Ben Hibbs, from his position as editor of Country Gentleman to fill the position of editor of the Saturday Evening Post, and of Robert H. Reed, who has been associate editor of the Country Gentleman for some years and will now step up to the position of editor of that magazine.
Wesley W. Stout, the former editor of the Post, was also a student at the University in 1906-7. His resignation from the Post was prompted by a disagreement on a matter of company policy.
Hibbs received a master's degree with major in journalism at the University in 1924, and filled positions on several Kansas dailies before going to the staff of the Kansas City Star. He was laboratory instructor for the Kansan in 1923, and editor in the fall of 1922.
Reed was news editor of the Kansan in the spring of 1917, the year of his graduation. Both men are members of the Kansas chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity. Both have been active in alumni organizations since their graduation, and Hibbs was at one time president of the K.U. Alumni Association of Philadelphia.
Heading the list of famous journalistic offspring of the University must, of course, be the name of William Allen White of Emporia. Another well-known writer who once was a student here is Jerome Beatty, known to thousands for his stories and articles which appear in popular magazines. Helen Patterson, a former student is now associate professor of journalism at the University of Wisconsin, and has written a text on feature writing which is widely used in schools throughout the nation.
Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star; Floyd Hockenhull, editor of Cirenlation Management; Marvin Creager, editor of the Milwaukee Journal; Doris Fleeson and Raymond Clapper, columnists; Earl J. Johnson, general news manager of United Press; at least 30 publishers of newspapers in Kansas.
These are only a few of the students of K.U. who have made admirable names for themselves in the profession of journalism. If the present crop of would-be journalists does as well, University of Kansas will continue to be the Mecca of aspiring newsmen.
We midwesterners can't suppress a snicker when we read that New Yorkers are the most gullible auditors of war rumors. We knew that long ago, when they used to come out here equipped to battle Indians and fight off drunken cowboys.
AMBASSADOR BOMB SIGHT
By her bombing of the giant Renault war plant near Paris, Britain has taken Franco-American diplomacy out of our hands.
German propagandists have already begun a campaign aimed at a complete break between Vichy and the United States, and it is too much to expect that they will not be largely successful.
Since the defeat of France, our state department has been carrying on the tremendous task of keeping Vichy at least nominally a neutral. France, her country overrun with Nazi police and her soldiers in German prison camps, has had to give in more and more to Hitler's demands. In spite of pressure from Nazi overlords and his own Admiral Darlan, Petain has, until recently at least, maintained the French fleet intact and kept French bases French.
It has been a losing fight all the way, and our diplomats have known it. Still, the longer we could keep Hitler out of Dakar and French torpedoes out of Allied ships, the better off we were.
The Allies now feel that enough damage can be done to Hitler by bombing factories in France to make up for any losses sustained from further Franco-German collaboration, or they believe that diplomacy is no longer effective.
Even if Petain and Darlan go all the way with Germany, we have a feeling that the French "little people" will be cheering the drone of those British bombers overhead, joining in the roar of smashing explosions which mean the destruction of Hitler. C.R.R.

Friday night dinner'at the D.U. house is strictly informal—but it has certain bounds. Last week Freshman Karl Ehrlich, feeling moody for a more comfortable position at the table while waiting for dessert to be served, tilted back his chair and pushed one foot on the table. His neighbors quickly plotted against him (Dick Hocker, chief plotter), pulled off his shoe and passed it up to Mrs. Hooke, housemother. All the brothers agreed that Karl's manners were "simply abhorrible" so now he has only one shoe.
Now that spring is on the doorstep (March 21st) the following poem is in season:
The sun shined and made it hot,
So hot in fact, I forgot,
To go to class (eight times in a row)
And now I'm in a heck of a mass (mess).
The Summerfield Colloquium Friday night was a scene of chaos, disaster, frenzy and panic—all on the part of one Keith Martin. Keith was slated to be one of the two senior speakers at the dinner and had his speech all typed up (pages and pages of it).
It was only a matter of minutes until speaker Martin discovered his loss—flushed and panic-stricken he waveringly inquired of his neighbors as to who possessed it. Gilles calmly commented that he had seen Bob Fluker (seated across the room) come over and take it.
Playful Paul Gilles, fearing a long speech, quietly crept up behind the already-nervous fellow's chair and quietly swiped his manuscript.
Not wishing to make himself more conspicuous by crossing the room and accusing the muscular fellow, Martin sat in his uncomfortable seat, torn between jumping out of the window and committing hari kari.
Hilden Gibson, chairman of the Colloquium and professor of political science and sociology, rose to introduce Martin as the first speaker. Knowing of the prank begun by Gilles, he explained to Summerfield dinners that since Martin was such a b.m.o.c. he had little time to write speeches, but that he had friends and one of these friends had graciously consented to write his speech for him.
At this point, Gilles produced the fist stack of typed pages ("What a friend," the Summerfields breathed). Keith Martin read his (and Paul Gillies) speech.
'How to Become Extinct'--- Bill Cuppy's 'Ridiculous Understatement' Amusing
Feuds With Aristotle
One of the funniest parts of the book is Cuppy's feud with the Father of Learning, one Aristotle. The Greek thinker par excellence had some strange ideas on natural history, including the viewpoint that snakes had a forked tongue because they liked dainty food and wanted two sets of taste organs to better enjoy their meals, and didn't have any legs because such a creature cannot have more than four legs, and a snake with two or four legs would be virtually stationary. Cuppy attacks the Aristotlean theory as though the fate of
Faithful readers of New York and happy to see the collected pearing again, this time under come Extinct." Mr. Cuppy's gig plus William Steig's cartoons, humans, ad infinitum, makes "means for passing away an eve the City, with somebody else, mire the prose works of typical New Yorker writers will retch ominously after about 50 pages of the book, but such people, are or ought to be in the minority.
Like Cuppy's two previous books, "How to Be a Hermit," and "How to Tell Your Friends From the Apes," the title of his latest opus is violently deceiving. The stories are little two or three-page neo-scientific treatises on the appearance, habits, sex-life and psychological quirks of fish, reptiles, and a host of extinct birds and other creatures, concluding with two essays on the topic "Are the Insects Winning" and "Thoughts on the Erine."
Faithful readers of New Yorker magazine should be pleased and happy to see the collected short stories of Will Cuppy appearing again, this time under the cryptic title of "How to Become Extinct." Mr. Cuppy's gift for ridiculous understatement, plus William Steig's cartoons, of leering catfish, baffled-looking humans, ad infinitum, makes "How to Become Extinct" a good means for passing away an evening when your date has gone to the City, with somebody else, nacherly. Those who do not admire the prose works of typical*
Better than the main part of the stories are the footnotes. A few examples: "The Supercilious Viper is found in Mozambique, of all the places in the world to be supercilious!" "The mother crocodile doesn't do anything about bringing up her young properly. She knows it's no use."

Concert Cellist To Give Recital Here Wednesday
Emanuel Feuermann, who has been pronounced by leading musical authorities as the greatest cellist now on the concert stage and one of the finest of all times, is scheduled to appear in Hoch auditorium for a recital at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday.
Feuermann has been playing publicly since he was eleven—one of the rare child prodigies who on attaining manhood lived up to his early promise. Now an American citizen, he was born into a family of great musicians at Kolomea, Galicia. His father, a gifted cellist, was his first teacher. Later he studied with Julius Klengel.
He made his debut as guest artist with one of Europe's finest orchestras, the Vienna Symphony, under Felix Weingartner. He was at that time eleven years old. At sixteen he became a professor at the Conservatory of Music in Cologne. From there he went to head the cello department of the famous Berlin Hochschule fur Musik, a post he held until political conditions made him an exile.
In 1934 Feuermann was invited to make his American debut as guest artist with the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra under Bruno Walter. This appearance, together with his ensuing recitals, created a tremendous stir, critics pronouncing him "One of the greatest living virtuosos" and placing him on a par with the inimitable Casals. Immediately there arose a widespread demand for him throughout the country, and his annual tours
since then have been heavily booked.
Before coming to this country, Feuermann had a vast following in Europe. He was a favorite solo artist among leading orchestral conductors and appeared under the batons of Felix Wengartner, Bruno Walter, Wilhelm Furtwangler, Arthur Nikisch, Otto Klemperer, Gabriel Pierer, Fritz Busch, Pierre Monteux, and Arturo Toscaniin. In this country too, he has appeared with practically every major orchestra. Recently he was appointed head of the cello department of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. He is at present engaged in reading all the Beethoven Quartet compositions, a task which he estimates will take two years to complete.
"Bit and Spur"
Gives House Show
Two new features have been added to the annual horse show sponsored by the Bit and Spur club, which will be held on the campus May 1, Gayle Mott of the K. U. stables announced yesterday.
For the first time townspeople will be invited to participate in the event, and a contest in goat roping will be held. Other divisions of the show include five gaiters, three gaiters, ponies, and jumpers. Prizes will be offered in jumping and the goat roping but the other fields will be non-competitive. Equitation students will also give exhibitions of trick riding.
All seniors in journalism are requested to meet at 4:30 tomorrow in room 102 of the Journalism building. Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the department, announced. Professor Beth will discuss "Job Prospects and the Operation of Departmental Files."
I
A touching moment in "Remember the Day," brings John Payne and Claudette Colbert together. The memorable film, which is now at the Granada theater for 3 days, has been called "Claudette Colbert's greatest." John Shepperd, Ann Todd, Douglas Craft and many others complete the cast of the film which was directed by Henry King and produced by William Perlberg. Co-feature, "The Mexican Spitfire's Baby," starring Lupe Velaz and Leon Errol.
Band Concert Date Changed
The University of Kansas Band will present its annual spring concert Wednesday evening, March 25, instead of Monday, March 23, as scheduled in the K-book. The concert, which will be presented in Hoch auditorium, will feature several patriotic numbers and an exhibition of rhythmic gun spinning.
"Roumanian Rhapsody No. 1" (Georges Enesco) will be included in the first part of the program. The second part will feature current patriotic numbers. "Angels of Mercy" (Irving Berlin) and "The White Cliffs of Dover" (Walter Kent) will be in this group. Gun spinning to the music of "America the Beautiful" will be done by Bill Sears, Fine Arts sophomore, and George Rhoades, college junior. "Pop Goes the Weasel" (arranged by Calliet) will be one of the numbers on the third and concluding part of the program.
PHI GAMS WIN—

The Friday night contest was considerably slower than the series finale. After the two teams had played through the first quarter on even terms, a Phi Gam flurry of field goals gave the Fiji's a 22 to 11 lead at halftime. From then on the Phi Gam's were never in trouble, although a Phi Psi rally in the last four minutes of play cut the margin to 33 to 29.

All-Important Tilt Faces Jayhawkers
With the approach of Tuesday night comes the end of the basketball season for the Jayhawkers. Now that isn't said with the idea that Oklahoma A. and M. is going to beat Kansas in Municipal auditorium in Kansas City that night. It merely reflects the true situation.
The Kansans are playing on borrowed time for the remainder of this year. The first game they lose, and it might easily be against the Aggies, will find them packing away their outfits for another year.
It will mean completed careers for four seniors on the squad, Ralph Miller, Charlie Walker, Bob Johnson, and T. P. Hunter. However, this isn't worrying the Kansans a bit.
Instead, the basketball squad is taking the other view that they may have five games to play this season. After defeating the Aggies they plan to win two games in the Western finals this weekend, then defeat the Eastern division champion a week later, and finally wind up the season on March 31 with a return engagement against the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team.
But all along that victorious route they will be playing with the knowledge that one defeat will bring a close to their 1941-42 season. For that reason, the Jayhawks are bound and determined to take the measure of the Cowboys Tuesday night and show their backers as well as the cynics that the 1942 version of

(continued from page one) continent of which Eric von Ludendorff said, "The next war will be decided in Africa."
The home of the remarkable Sengalee soldiers, Dakar is a tropical country, the largest peanut export port of the world.
Emil Lengely writes for the New York Herald Tribune and the New York Times, and has authored books like the best-sellers "The Danube" and "Turkey." His book on "Hitler" raised him from the ranks of correspondent to that of authority.
Lengvel's latest book, "Dakar," reached the booksands on Oct. 15, after rushed publication by Random House to meet demands of the public for the authoritative discussion. The manuscript was sent to the publisher chapter by chapter.
"Dakar" includes a history of the African colony, an analysis of its present importance in world politics and a forecast of likely developments in that part of the world. The final chapter deals with other danger spots in the same part of the world.

Jayhawks Push Toward N.C.A.A.
No Spring Election for MSC
A war-conscious Men's Student Council took an unprecedented initiative last night by suspending the annual spring election for two years.
The move was made by means of an executive emergency act introduced, discussed, and passed in last night's regular meeting in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
In dispensing with the spring election, the act provides that all M.S.C. and class offices be filled by the two political parties, Society of Pachacamac and the Progressive Student Government League, which now hold an even division of the 20 council seats. Under the act, neither party can attain a majority of Council members.
The action came as a result of inter-party agreement. Both political factions concurred that such a measure was necessary for three reasons:
1. The money usually spent for a spring election could well be used for other purposes in time of war.
2. Interest among the student
body in an election would be lacking.
As an emergency act, the measure supercedes all constitutional articles, amendments, bills, and resolutions pertaining to elections. It is effective only until April 25, 1944, but can be renewed on the approval of the M.S.C., both political parties, and the Chancellor.
3. A continuity of the Council is necessary to carry on the work of the War-Defense committee and other Council organs connected with the University wartime policy.
The situation for such an act is ideal at this time, since, for the first time in modern M.S.C.' history, neither party has a majority of Council members.
For the school year 192-43, the president and vice-president of the Council will be chosen from the Council members appointed by the Pachacamac party. P.S.G.L. will appoint the secretary and treasurer. For the school year 1943-44 the situation will be reversed.
Council will be perpetually maintained. In the spring, each party will appoint 10 men to fill Council seats for the ensuing school year. The appointments will be made to concur with the division of representation into the following four districts which are used in regular elections:
The balance of power on the
District I, Graduate School, School of Medicine, and School of Law, three representatives (In the spring of 1942, P.S.G.L. will appoint one representative from District I, and Pachacamac two. The process will be reversed in the spring of 1943. To compensate the difference, the party which has only one representative in this district will appoint a representative-at-large for that year); District II, Schools of Pharmacy, Fine Arts, Business, and Education, four representatives (two from each party); District III, School of Engineering, four representatives (two from each party); District IV, College, eight representatives (four from each party.)

Emil Lengyel To Speak At Convocation
The progress of the war with an especial emphasis on the strategic African colony, Dakar, will be presented in convocation Thursday morning by Dr. Emil Lengyel, newspaperman and author.
Doctor Lengyel, is considered the greatest authority on Dakar, from which German planes could reach the Americans in five flying hours. Dakar is Germany's spearhead directed at the Americans. After the completion of the Trans-Saharan Railway the Germans will have direct access to Dakar without having to go outside Gibraltar.
Dakar's huge hinterland, French West Africa, is the real black continent, Lengyel maintains, with its strange customs and rites. But Dakar is also the very spine of the continent of which Erich von Ludendorff said, "The next war will be decided in Africa." It is a tropical country, home of the Sengalese soldiers and of the largest peanut exporting trade in the world.
Africa Is Important
Lengyel has written the only book in the English language on Dakar. The book came out last fall, after a hurried publication by Random House, in which the manuscript was rushed to the printer chapter by chapter.

The calling chairman needs three assistants to help her in rounding up members for various activities. Chosen for these positions were Regina Allen, fine arts sophomore; Mary McVey, college sophomore, and Claudine Scott, college sophomore.
The Jay Janes, women's pep organization, last night initiated 26 new members, elected officers for the coming year, and discussed plans for going as a group to the all-important Jayhawker-Cowboy basketball game in Kansas City tonight.
The women will travel to the city on a special bus and devote their energies to urging the Kansas team toward the N.C.A.A. goal.
Honor Barbara Reber
Mary Kay Brown, college junior, was elected president of the organization. Other officers are Mary Frances Fitzpatrick, college junior, vice president; Caroline Baker, college sophomore, secretary; Georgia Ferrel, college junior, treasurer; Barbara Reber, college junior; calling chairman; Margaret Butler, college sophomore, social chairman; and Joy Miller, college sophomore publicity chairman.

Kansas Author To Speak Here On 'Biography'
Proof that a college professor can write a best seller will be offered to University students tomorrow, when Everett Rich, professor of English at Kansas State College and author of "William Allen White: Te Man from Emporia," speaks in Fraser theater at 4:30 p.m. Rich speaking under the sponsorship of the department of English, will talk on "An Adventure in Biography."
A graduate of Emporia with the degree of B. S. in education in 1924, he received his master's degree from the University in 1932. He completed work for and received his Ph.D. from Western Reserve in 1940.
George M. Beal Elected Vice-Pres. by Architects
Rich is a native Kansan. He was born in the eastern part of the state where he taught in a country school with 70 pupils and only one teacher. While a student at Emporia, he was made foreman of the printing plant, a post he occupied for several years after graduation.
George M. Beal, professor of architecture, was elected vice-president of the Kansas chapter of the American Institute of Architects at its meeting in Wichita last week.
Charles Schaver of Salina was elected president of the Institute and Prof Paul Weigel, Manhattan, secretary.
More Than 500 Students To Go to Game Tonight
By CHUCK ELLIOTT, Kansan Sports Editor
Two Phogs left the Hill yesterday. Everyone was glad to see them both go. One, the misty fog, because we don't like it. The other, the cagey "Phog," because he took the Jayhawker basketball team with him to Kansas City to play and beat the Oklahoma Agiges in Municipal auditorium at 8:30 o'clock tonight.
At least "Phog" said he was going to win if he possibly could and the group of students gathered in front of Robinson

Feuermann Will Play Concert Tomorrow
Feuermann is among the distinguished European exiles who now regard America as their home. Both he and his wife have taken out their first citizenship papers. They have announced that they want their young daughter, Monica, to grow up to be "a real American girl."
Emanuel Feuermann, distinguished cellist, will present a concert at 8:20 p.m. tomorrow in Hoch auditorium as a part of the University's concert series.
The Feuermann family has established its permanent home in Scarsdale, N. Y. When he isn't discoursing on the wonders of being the father of young Monica, he likes to talk about his house, its lawn.

gymnasium to rally the team off believed him. It's now up to the team.
This game tonight means everything. It does to the extent that if we lose we are through for this season on the basketball court. But—and this is what all loyal Kansans are hoping—if we win, the game will have meant very little.
May Go To Playoffs
It's only use, besides drawing a considerable little sum into the University coffers, was as a stepping stone into the playoffs this weekend at Kansas City of the Western division of the N.C.A.A. for the right to represent the last four districts against the Eastern division winner a week later, March 28, at Kansas City.
Leading the attack for the Cow-boys will be Lonnie Eggleston. This lad has an average of 10.8 points a game for the 24 contests of the Aggies this year, five of them being lost. This offensive average is not too imposing but the biggest reason for this is that the Aggies are not a high-scoring team.
But this is all a bit premature, whether we win or lose. The important thing is that the game is being played tonight and nearly 500 tickets have already been sold on the Hill, guaranteeing a good boosting section for the Jayhawkers.
Henry Iba and his Oklahoma Aggies will be all primed for battle when Ab Curtis and Ronald Gibbs blow their whistles to start the game. Their last appearance on the maples found them losing to the up-state gang of Oklahoma Sooners and the memory of that is not a pleasant one indeed.
Ralph Miller is the leading Jayhawketer scorer with an average of 15.2 points a game. The entire Jayhawk team has averaged 48.9 points a game, losing four out of 19, whereas the Cowboys have run up only 37 points a game.
If the percentages of Miller and Eggleston are compared as to which player scored the most number of relative points for his team, the two players will be found to be nearly identical with Miller having only a slight edge, despite his apparent wide lead in points.
Eggleston Leads Aggies
The next offensive leaders for each team are, J. T. Newman for the Aggies and Charlie Black for Kansas. Both teams can easily become high

Statue Sports New Suit Green Wears Red
It's getting to be a habit!
Uncle Jimmy Green had a new spring suit again for a few hours this morning until the building and ground workers started restoring his clothes to the usual metallic color.
Wearers of the green were greeted this morning by the statue on which had been painted pastel green trousers and a brilliant red coat during the $ \textcircled{4} $
Wearers of the green were statue on which had been paint brilliant red coat during the night. The loyal statue viewing the campus from the front of Green hall was "fairly dripping" with the newness of the spring attire.
Since the act of sabotage took place on St. Patrick's day some of the disturbed students of the School of Law have been led to believe that the old feud between them and the engineers is still under way.
Evidence pointing in this direction reveals that St. Patrick is the patron of many of the Schools of Engineering throughout the country and is given a warm spot in engineer's hearts.

Silence reigns at Marvin hall, however, and as loyal as the statue of Uncle Jimmy is to the "Green boys," he just won't tell them who did the paint job.
Fitness Class
The War-Defense committee of the M.S.C. is sponsoring a calisthenics class which will start next Monday and continue eight weeks until May 3.
The class will meet in Robinson gymnasium until the weather is warmer and then will meet outside on one of the playing fields.
The class will be instructed by Dr. Forrest C. Allen and his staff. Doctor Allen says, "I think this is a great thing. We will work them hard, but everyone will have fun while working."
Enrollment started yesterday and will continue until Friday. Those who wish to enroll may do so by contacting the Ku Ku's, Jay Janes, the registrar's office or the athletic office.
Classes will meet twice a week at 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday. More than 30 campus leaders, including members of the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. Council and house presidents have enrolled in the class. The class will be strictly callisthenic.
Orville Wright, chairman of the Way-Defense committee of the M.S.C. says, "this is, in a sense, an experiment to determine whether or not the midwestern college student is concerned enough with this war to discipline himself. It is undoubtedly true that unless this class succeeds, compulsory physical training will be inducted on this campus. Demands are now being made for that compulsory training in influential circles. The students by enrolling in this course can make it successful."
Towel fee will be the regular seventy-five cents which entitles the student to 18 towels. The class will meet 17 times in the eight week's period. The student is expected to furnish his own gym equipment.

Three-Term Activities
The M.S.C. War-Defense committee meeting, at which presidents of all university houses and activities were requested to be present, was held in the Memorial Union ballroom at 4:30 p.m. Monday.
The meeting was called to discuss war and defense activities on the campus. The three-term basis for Hill activities and organizations is being planned by the Men's Student Council. There is a possibility of organized houses remaining open for the summer. The defense committee is asking all houses to poll their members to discover how many would like to keep the houses open during summer school.
Also discussed was the plan to collect current issues of magazines from organized houses to send to army camp libraries. The magazines will be turned in at the Union building by a representative from each house and a record will be kept at the check stand.
The new service flags were displayed at the meeting and members of the men's houses were told how to obtain the flags for their houses.
Near the close of the meeting, those present were reminded to buy defense bonds, turn in books for the Victory book campaign, and to write letters to the men in the service.
Some of those present at the meeting were enrolled in the new calisthenics class which is to start next Monday.
Applications for the six freshman positions on the Kansas Relays committee must be in tomorrow, March 18. Clint Kanage, senior manager of the committee, announced today.
Kanaga said that freshman applicants should address their letters of qualification to him, room 107, Robinson gymnasium.

To be run off Thursday are the preliminaries for four events the 50-yard breast stroke, the 100-yard dash, the 50-yard back stroke, and the 50-yard free style. Next Tuesday finals will be held for 100-yard back stroke and 200-yard relay contestants, with semi-finals being $ ^{*} $
Finals Are Next Thursday
On March 26 the meet will wind up with the finals in the 300-yard medley relay, 50-yard breast stroke, 100-yard dash, 50-yard back stroke, diving, and 50-yard free style.
The Phi Gam's took last year's affair without winning a single event as they piled up second and third place points.
Slated to hand the Phi Gam's plenty of competition again this year is last year's runnerup, the Newman club. The Clubmen will be led by two individual defending champions, Bill Stephens in the 50-yard breast stroke and Archer Wilcox in the 50-yard back stroke. Frank Emerson, last year's relay sensation, will also be in action for the strong Newman team.
Entry Applications Due Tomorrow
Another returning champion is the Delta Chi's Jim Sherman, last year's only double winner. Sherman will be defending titles in the 100-yard free style and the 50-yard free style.
Sigma Chi, last year's third place team, also rates as a serious championship contender. Other teams expected to place high are Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Psi, and Carruth hall.
Henry Shank, director of intramural sports, said today that early this morning only four teams had filed their entries with him but he expected all other organizations to register either today or tomorrow.
Scoring will be on a basis of five points for first place, three points for second place, two points for third place, and a single point for fourth place.
Any man who has not earned a swimming letter at a four year college, or is not a squad member of another varsity sport this season is eligible to compete. No individual can enter more than three events.
Men not sponsored by an organization may enter unattached at the pool.
Fine Arts Organist In Senior Recital Last Night In Hoch
James Quy, only organ major of this year's senior class of the School of Fine Arts, presented his senior recital in Hoch auditorium last night.

He continued with Bach's "Tocata and Fugue in D Minor." The concluding group of selections comprised Schumann's "Canon in B Minor"; "Caprice", by Gulmant; the choral from "My Inmost Heart Doth Yearn," by Brahms; and the "Finale" from Vierne's First Symphony.
Oratorical Contest
E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, said today that an all-University oratorical contest will be part of the speech festival on March 27. $25 in cash prizes will be awarded.
The contest will be open to all University students. Entrants will make a ten-minute speech on any subject. Those desiring entry must contact E. C. Buehler
Dixon Designs Scenery For 'Charley's Aunt'
Original scenery designed and constructed by the department of speech and drama will be used in the presentation of the comedy, "Charley's Aunt," by Brandon Thomas in Fraser theater, April 6, 7, and 10.
Since the play, "Charley's Aunt," was first presented in 1892, the costumes of the coming production will be in the 1890 styles.
Donald Dixon, instructor in speech and drama, designed and drew the plans for the three sets to be used in the play. Two interior and one exterior scenes will be used. The class in stage craft under Dixon's supervision will work on the construction of the sets as a class project.

Sportin' Around by Chuck Elliott
When Stanford defeated Oregon State last night, 40 to 35, it insured the N.C.A.A. Western Division playoffs of three high-scoring teams. Now if Kansas can come through tonight it will mean four teams that lay the greatest stress on offense will clash with each other.
The tournament this year stacks up as being the best of its kind ever staged anywhere. The cream of the crop has been selected and it will be a wild-and-wooly mess to see which team has the stamina and ability to come through undefeated.
FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT STANFORD INDIANS
Now that Stanford has entered the tournament it might be well to dispense a few facts on the Indians. They won the Southern division championship of the Pacific coast conference by taking 10 out of 12 games. In nonconference games they won 12 out of 13 and then took two out of three playoff games from Oregon State to give them a season record of 24 wins out of 28 games.
Their offensive average over the entire season is 42.25 points a game and they have held their opponents to an average of 34.4 points a game. Their 12-game conference offensive average is 43.3 points a game and their defensive mark is 39 points.
Stanford has scored over 45 points a game in 10 contests and their opponents have done this only three times. High score of the year for the Red and White Cardinals occurred in the Ohio State game when Stanford won 60 to 45. The 45 points of the Buckeyes was also high for an opponent until the next to last game of the regular season when the California Bruins tallied 49 markers.
Sure-fire proof that the Indians were the class of the conference was given today when tho酞哄 all-Southern Division basketball team chosen by the coaches of the four schools was released. Don Burness, forward, and Bill Cowden, guard, co-captains of the Indians and the only letterman that Coach Everett Dean had on his squad at the start of the season, repeated on the all-star team from their selections last year.
The other three men. Jim Pollard, Howie Dallmar, and Ed Voss, were the first three men to make the second team. This gives Stanford five of the best eight men in the conference. Other members of the first team are Bob Ormsby, Southern California forward and now a member of the 20th Century Fox team of Hollywood in the A.A.U. meet at Denver this week; Roy Tamm, California center and now playing with the Golden State crew of Oakland along with Tee Connelly, former Oklahoma flash and All-American with the Denver Legion two years ago; and Ernie Handelsman, U.C.L.A. forward and leading scorer in the conference with 134 points in 12 games.
The Stanford club is extremely potent on rebounds where their height is used to the greatest extent. The team is not too fast but does feature the fast break on offense. A man-to-man defense is utilized by the Indians but Dean's system is very elastic and can be changed suddenly to meet the occasion.
One respect of this year's Cardinal team which is truly amazing is the unlimited height which the squad possesses. The shortest man on the 11-man squad is Fred Linari at five feet nine inches. The next shortest is Bill Hooper a six feet. Then comes Leo McCaffrey at six feet two inches and the other eight players are six feet three inches or better. The 11 men on the squad average six feet three inches which makes them rival the West Texas State Teachers outfit in height.
Some personal notes on the starting players are as follows.
Co-Captain Don Burness—six feet three inches, 187 pounds, 22 years, senior. Regular center last year. Playing forward for the first time, al- (continued to page five)
Scrimmage Here Soon
Spring football will get into full swing during the next few days and when it does the squad members will be fighting tooth and toenail to secure a regular berth on the Kansas eleven for next fall.
Gridsters Look Good In Practice
Spectators who have attended some of the practice sessions this spring say that the present squad is made up of the best material of any K.U. squad in the last few years. They, the followers of the team, say that last fall's squad members look better than they did last season. A good crop of newcomers is providing some size in the line, and some fast backs have been obtained from the freshman squad.
Davis Likes Gene Roberts
Prof. W. W. Davis, faculty member and member of the Big Six Athletic board, says that Gene Roberts is one of the fastest backs he has seen on a Kansas squad in the last 10 years. And he also says that if opposing teams ever hope to stop Roberts they had better nail him before he gets into the secondary. And as any one who has watched Roberts play knows, he gets into the secondary in a hurry.
Squad Learning Plays
The coaches did not plan any rough play for the first week of practice, but Thursday the men got a little over-anxious for some action. Once in a while, when a play was being run in dummy scrimmage, a member of the defensive team would slap a tackle on the ball carrier. Regular scrimmage will start this week and from that time on regular games will be played each Friday.
Wayne Replogle, freshman coach,
is pleased with the men because of
the way they are learning the plays
given them by Coach Henry. He
thinks that the plays are being run
with better timing now than all last
season.
Stress has been laid on fundamentals and timing and only a few plays have been learned so far, but these plays are being learned thoroughly. Coach Henry's system of plays is
based largely on speed, timing, and deception. This type of a system is almost necessary when a team is light and its rivals have advantage in weight. But such a system is hard to work against a powerful team on a muddy field. The majority of Kansas games were played in the mud last season. Naturally K.U. coaches are praying for some dry turf in which cleats will not slip next season.
12 Men Lost Already
Henry has been working some plays from the "T" formation this spring. They look good. Whether he plans to use that system next season is a good question and remains to be seen.
Coach Henry will have to find men to replace the seniors. Ralph Miller, one of the best passers in the nation last fall; Bob Uhlrich, all-big Six end; Bob Fluker and Jay Kern,
A
JACK TENENBRUM WARREN HODGES
guards; Steve Meade, tackle; Ralph Schaake, end; Marvin Vandaveer and Denzel Gibbens, halfbacks; and Monte Merkle, tackle, all brought their careers to an end last fall.
Then with the outbreak of the war, several more men from the squad dropped from school. Ray Niblo, back; Bob Hagen, end; and Don Ettinger, fullback, make up this group at present.
Several Freshmen Shine
But the coaches seem confident that the University is going to have a team to be proud of next year. From the freshman team, Bill Brill and Otto Schnellbacher, ends; Dick Channell, tackle; Grier Zimmerman and John Herron, guards; Junius Penny, center and backs, Hoyt Baker, Kenny Thompson, Gene Roberts, and Bill Palmer, all promise to make good men to fill the shoes of those who are gone. These men from the yearling squad plan to give
sophomores and juniors of the squad a lot of worry in their efforts to make the team.
Members of the squad have straightened out their class schedules and their R.O.T.C. drill during the last week and have been able to attend practice regularly.

Sportin' Around-though he still goes in at center occasionally when the regular center, Voss leaves the game. Burness was second high scorer in the Southern Division of the Pacific Coast Conference last year with 122 points in 12 games. Leads the Indians scorers this season with 219 points in 23 games (not including playoff games in which he was injured the first night and played only a very little in the third game last night). He finished fifth in the Southern Division scoring 105 points in 12 games. Splendid rebound man, fine ball handler, one of the best shots on the squad. All-Southern Division last year and repeated again this year.
(continued from page four)
Jim Pollard—six feet four and one-half inches, 185 pounds, 19 years, sophomore. Star and leading scorer of the 1940-41 Stanford freshman team. Pollard is the best sophomore prospect to appear on the Indian campus since Hank Lusetiett arrived in 1935. Was not eligible for the first seven games the Indians played and now stands fourth among the Stanford scorers with 161 points in 18 games. He finished second in the Southern Division with 121 points in 12 games. Extremely clever passer, great rebound man, very effective on defense. An excellent shot with a brilliant floor game.
Ed Voss—six feet five and one-half inches, 215 pounds, 20 years, junior. Without a doubt the most improved player on the squad. Appeared in but 14 games last year, scoring 39 points. This season, Big Ed has played in 23 contests and is second only to Burness among the Redskin scorers with 189 points. He finished sixth in the Southern Division scoring with 99 points in 12 games. Very effective on both backboards and a fine follow shot. Clever at pivot post. An exceptionally hard worker who uses his great height to good advantage.
Co-Captain Bill Cowden—six feet three inches, 190 pounds, 21 years, senior. Third year as a regular and one of the best guards on the Coast. All Southern Division last year and repeated again this year. Stands fifth among Stanford scorers this season with 135 points in 25 games. He finished tied for fourteenth in the Southern Division scoring race with 68 points. Powerful and fast, Cowden is particularly strong on defense, although he is a threat to break loose with a "hot" night any time. Exceptionally strong backboard game. Very rugged and reliable at all times.
Howard Dallmar—six feet four inches, 195 pounds, 19 years, sophomore. Transfer from Menlo Junior College, in his first year at Stanford. Has never played guard before, having been a center. Third among Stanford scorers with 184 points in 25 games and seventh in the Southern Division with 97 points in 12 games. Big, powerful, and fast, this youngster is a fine all-around player, has outstanding ability on both backboards. Passing, floorwork, and shooting are all good. Very consistent on defense.
WARMERDAM MAY COME AFTER ALL
Odds and ends: From reliable sources it is learned that Cornelius Warmerdam, the pole vaulter deluxe, may show his wares in this territory before long. . . . He has been invited to come to Kansas City to participate in the Missouri Valley A.A.U. indoor track meet. . . . This event was originally postponed but if Warmerdam will come the meet WILL BE SCHEDULED. . . Other stars who will be in attendance IF Warmerdam comes are Gil Dodds, one sensation divinity student-miler formerly from Nebraska, and Greg Rice, the great distance runner from Notre Dame . . . Warmerdam is also being invited to K.U. Relays. . . . All that remains now is for an affirmative tinkle to come trickling over the wires from San Francisco and this neck of the woods will be singing "Happy Days."
Word from Missouri indicates that the Tigers are shooting for that No. 1 spot in football next fall. . . . Over two full teams of lettermen are out for spring practice and they fully expect to have Red Wade and Bob Steuber back. . . . It sounds bad for Big Six foes. . . . What a football team Great Lakes expects to have next fall! . . . Already they have booked games with Minnesota, Missouri, Notre Dame, Purdue, Marquette, Iowa, and Northwestern and have negotiations under way, 'tis said, with Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, Creighton, Michigan, Nebraska, AND KANSAS. . . . Gwin Henry has received no word from them but he has accepted an offer by Bernie Bierman of the Iowa Naval Cadet station at Iowa City for a game with his team. . . . Henry sent back a tentative date of Sept. 19 with the game to be played at night in Kansas City but has received no reply as yet. . . . Paul Christman, former all-Big Six star from Missouri, will be a member of the Great Lakes team. . . . Another former Tiger, Bob Waldorf, has been appointed line coach under Tom-Tom Stidham at Marquee University.

Shooting Star for Aggies
One of the best prospects in the Missouri Valley area to gain All-American mention is this scintillating senior forward from Walters, Okla., "Lonnie" Eggleston. Hailed as the greatest high school player developed in Oklahoma four seasons ago, the six foot one inch Cowboy has averaged 10.8 points a game in 24 contests for the Aggies this year. His offensive strength is not his only forte, however, as other leading scorers who have faced him will testify. Very often, Iba will place Eggleston to guard the opponents nighest scoring individual and invariably Lonnie will come through with a bang-up job.
Intramural Managers Add Three Members
Three new intramural managers have been added to the Board of Intramural Managers, Maurice Barringer, senior manager, announced today.
The new men are W. C. Hartley, sophomore, who replaced Tom Schwinn who is awaiting his draft call; and Bob Frizzell and John Pfouts, freshmen, who are filling scholastic vacancies. These three members were chosen from the applications which were made last fall.

The KANSAN Comments...
Aid To MacArthur?—How?
Several congressmen and self-styled influential individuals are soap-boxing galore in attempts to raise the public ire; they feel that insufficient aid is being sent to General MacArthur and other forces in the imperiled Far East, and that they can bring about some sort of a revolution or something. The whole idea behind this grandstanding is silly, as well as futile.
The American public is well-read; it knows that the defenders of the Philippines are working on "borrowed time." It is unbelievable, too, that the war and navy departments are unaware of MacArthur's need for reinforcements. It is only fair that we have faith in these departments' consideration of all possibilities. Yes, the existence of "dereliction of duty" at Pearl Harbor has been proved, but that furnishes no grounds for a formal and undying distrust in our leaders! A bad start is indicative of a good ending; we sincerely believe the important lesson has been learned.
Suffice it to say that no methods for sending reinforcements have been discovered. It's the same old problem again. We'd all like to be millionaires (in spite of the war taxes), but wishing won't make it so! We want to, and intend to, win this war, but just saying so isn't going to do it. Strategy must be relied upon, and that strategy must be the result of careful planning, not of makeshift mob-style reaction.
Sending troops into Pacific waters over which the Allies have little control and where perhaps we have even less control in the air, is inviting catastrophe—a tragedy that might be much greater than if we were to lose the Philippine Islands. We do not mean to slight MacArthur's work or his importance, but from a military standpoint, his position is at the worst "bothersome" to the enemy. His resistance has failed to slow down materially the Japanese advances in the many directions.
---O--forced to bear a greater proportionate tax burden than those companies with war orders.
Some persons in Massachusetts are making the supreme sacrifice. They have donated their carrier pigeons to the army for active duty. Owners will probably be gold-star mothers some day.
Morgenthau's Program
The new tax program proposed by Henry Morgenthau, Secretary of the Treasury, will not meet the revenue needs of our country in this war. It will not prevent inflation.
Several facts expose the shortcomings of the proposed program. First, except for excise taxes, it leaves more than one-half of our national income untouched. Morgenthau and the press made much of how the proposed levies would increase the burden on these low-income groups. It would not. More than 50 percent of our national income goes to those who receive less than $2500 a year. The exemption for a family of four is $2300. The remaining $200 could be covered easily by charity contributions.
Second, the program will not aid in preventing inflation. It is designed to tax savings, but it should make it desirable for persons with savings to invest them in enterprises of production. It leaves the volume of purchasing power in the hands of those who will spend it for consumption, while it should cut down the demand for goods.
Third, firms without war orders would be
A sales tax, a withholding tax without exemptions, or a combination of these two, would be possible alternatives to the program proposed, and might obtain the amount of revenue necessary to prevent inflation.—R.B.

That red, white, blue, brown, pink, and green jacket which Prof. F. A. Russell has been wearing to his Engineering classes recently, is a thing of blinding beauty. It looks like an old awning, but it serves its purpose admirably. It seems the professor's classes have been complaining that they can't see him, so this is his solution to a nasty situation. It makes him stand out from his students like the Aurora Borealis in a blackout.
Millard Aldridge has but recently plighted his troth to Comora McGregor to lay off the panther sweat, the coffin varnish, the mountain dew, or do we make ourselves clear? Last Saturday night, poor Millard slipped a little, waking up on Sunday morning with a slight headache. He made his way to the telephone, called Comora, and with a great display of authoritarian nonchance, informed her that he had been to see "Roxie Hart" the night before. Do you wonder that Comora doubted him, when any fool knows that "Roxie" didn't arrive in Lawrence until Sunday? The hitch in Millard's crime was that he had gotten hold of an advance Sunday Kansan.

Marge Rader is carrying on her longstanding feud with Gamma Phi's Helen Wilkins and Jane Harkrader. They put a deagogatory want ad concerning her merits in the paper last week, so in retaliation Margie sent them a great, huge box of live worms one day just before luncheon. Saddest and most ironical part of it all was that the girls were served noodles for luncheon that day.

Eire Must Be Heaven For Rather Obvious Reasons
By FORREST McHASHBARGER
Saint Patrick's day. The day when the sons of Eire hold sway.
After a quick trip to the Emerald Isle by space ship, your correspondent was wandering through the country-side when he came across a quaint old fellow, who was sitting on a corner of the Blarney Stone, blithely humming a bit of an old Irish folk song. When asked the name of the song, which had a familiar sound, the old man replied, "Tis an old family tune, which
"Ah!" thought your reporter, "there's one mystery solved. Perhaps he can help me clear up this question about the origin of St. Patrick's Day." Indeed, he seemed almost happy to do so, when I propositioned him. Knocking the head off his ale with his shillelah, he settled back so he was comfortable, and started:
"Many years ago, when snakes infested the beautiful shores of the land of Erin, a simple, gentle old man perfected a wonderful cure for the evils of snake bite. It had hardly come into common use when Saint Patrick drove the bally creatures away from the sunny shores of dear old Ireland, thus taking away the need for such medicine.
Just when it appeared that the remedy was to dissappear through lack of use, dispatches from the West brought the cheering news of a discovery which promised to keep the efforts of the old scientist from having been in vain. The headlines of the Dublin Post-Democrat and other leading papers were full of news of the event. The year was 1492. A brave young explorer, Christopher Colombus, had just returned from a voyage of exploration, on which he had stumbled across a place (later called America) whose shores abounded in countless numbers of varied species of the reptile family which had until then been unknown to the widely developed scientific knowledge of the times.
"Here was a supply of snakes

the oldest and probably most widely panacea known to mankind. "One drawback has completely baffled experts in this field. While the medicine cures the effects of physical contact with reptiles, equally displeasing and possibly more serious results occur from mental visions of these creatures which it causes. The more the patient doses himself, the farther the illusions go. Not only is he plagued by visions of reptiles, but with horrible hallucinations of elephants of various brilliant hues, kangaroos with four-wheel brakes, eels with neon advertising along their sides, boogy men measuring cigarets, grand operas enacted by mules and horses on roller skates, and equally indescribable objects are often suffered. Science will find a way, though, someday.
"It is fully appropriate that the country which fathered the creation of this unusual elixir should today be outstanding in the production and development of the cure. Not only is their product more advanced in flavor and blending, it also surpasses by far all others in potency. In Ire-

Final All-Musical Vespers Presented by Fine Arts
Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium the School of Fine Arts presented the season's final All-Musical Vespers, which featured the school's chief vocal and instrumental groups: the a cappella choir, the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs, the University orchestra, the band, and the string quartet.
Opening the program was the number, "To Victory," an adaptation of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, by S. A. McReynolds, as presented by the combined forces of the a cappella choir and the University orch.*
Second on the program was the eerie "Night on Bald Mountain," from the works of Moussorgsky, as played by the orchestra under the direction of Karl Kuersteiner.
estra under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout and Karl Kuersteiner.
Sing "Dreamy" Songs
Miss Irene Peabody directed the Womens Glee Club in a trio of delicate and dreamy songs: "The Sleep That Flits on Baby's Eyes" (Carpenter-Treharne), "The Message" (Brahms-Douty), and "Ghosts of White Birches" (Travis-Krone).
The first movement of Prof, Carl A. Preyer's new "Quintet in E Minor" was played by the University String Quartet, composed of Waldemar Geltch, professor violin, Eugene Ninginger, fine arts senior, Karl Kuesterstein, professor of violin and orchestra, and Raymond Stuhl, assistant professor of violin and orchestra. The composer accompanied them at the piano. This was the first pubic presentation of the new composition in Lawrence.
Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice, led the Men's Glee Club in two folk songs, "Loch Lomond," a Scottish folk song, arranged by Ringwald, and "Ay, Ay, Ay," a Creole folk song, arranged by Stickles. Choir Presents Numbers
The cappella choir followed with a presentation of four numbers, all of varied characteristics and of fairly recent composers: "Windy Nights" by Noble Cain, "Requiem" by Bantock, "De' Sheepfol' " by Clokey, featuring Minerva Davis, fine arts senior, in a contralto solo, and a Kynette-Stewart arrangement of "The Bells of St. Michael's Tower." The choir was directed by Dean D. M. Swarthout.
The program ended with a pair of selections by Wagner, arranged by Lucien Cailliet; "Wotan's Farewell" and "Magic Fire Music," both taken from "The, Valkyrie." These pieces were played by the University band under the direction of Russell L. Wiley.
Drop to Fifth In Oil Production
In a speech before the Lawrence Rotarians last night Eugene A. Stephenson, head of the department of petroleum engineering, said that Kansas now ranks fifth in oil production in the United States, having lost fourth place to Illinois.
The 1,450,000,000 barrels of oil produced by the states represent about 70 per cent of the entire oil production of the world. The biggest problem confronting the nation in oil production at this time is the procurement of steel pipe. New wells cannot be drilled when it is impossible to get the pipe for harnessing them. The speaker handed out a list of 20 queries concerning tankers, wells, tank cars, world production, and pro-rationing.
Crash Injures Four Students
Four University students were injured Sunday night when the car in which they were riding struck a truck parked at 625 Vermont street. Mrs. E. A. Nelson, owner of the car, was also injured slightly.
The injured students are Ted Nelson, college senior; George W. Waters, college freshman; Norma Scott, college sophomore; and Nevilyn Stewart, college sophomore. Nelson and Miss Scott received minor facial lacerations; Waters and Miss Stewart suffered mild brain concussions.
Miss Scott was released from Watkins Memorial hospital today. Waters and Miss Stewart will be released soon, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, said today.
Billions for Allied victory . . . or for tribute to dictators? There is only one answer: Buy U.S. Defense Bonds and Stamps.
Alumni Turn Out For Hill Round-up
Approximately 350 alumni and their families were Hill visitors Sunday in connection with the second of the year's alumni round-ups.
The Kansas counties represented in greatest numbers were Miami Johnson, Wyandotte, Osage, and Franklin. Alumni of Douglas county and those on the faculty were especially welcomed.
The round-up was officially opened at 3 p.m. when the guests registered in the Memorial Union building and purchased tickets for the barbecue at 6 p.m.
Wedell Presides
At 7:30 o'clock the alumni were entertained by a program in the Union ballroom. Justice Hugo T. Wedell, Topeka, president of the A- alumni association, acted as master of ceremonies and made the opening remarks.
E. M. Brack, fine arts sophomore, sang "Che gelida manina" from the opera "La Boheme" by Puccini. Dr. John Outland, John Wahlslut, and Oscar H. Hederstrom, all of Kansas City, as the "Three Swedes" put on a musical skit in which Wahlslut and Hederstrom each sang two numbers, followed by the three forming a trio to sing a Swedish version of a Salvation Army number.
Choir Leads Singing
Chancellor Deane W. Malott gave a short talk on "The University in 1942."
The University a capella choir, directed by Dean D. M. Swarthout, sang "Dedication" by Franz, and
"Babylon is Fallen," a Negro spiritual. Both numbers were Noble Cain arrangements.
The choir closed the program by leading the audience in the hymn, "Abide With Me," and the "Alma Mater."
Women enrolled in Institutional Management assisted in preparing the barbecue, and K-Men acted as hosts and guides to the returning alumni.
During the program in the Union ballroom, Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach, entertained the visitors' children with an illustrated nature lecture in the Kansas room.
Oof boats, beaches and beautiful blondes is the story of "Bahama Passage," Paramount's Technicolor film co-starring Madeleine Carroll and Stirling Hayden, which comes Wednesday for 4 days to the Granada theatre. Here the two blonde stars are caught in a romantic moment.

The executive council of the Pachacamac inner-circle and the P.S.G.L senate will appoint their respective representatives.
Appoint Class Officers
Class officers will likewise be appointed by the two parties. In the spring of 1942, P.S.G.L. will fill the offices of president and treasurer of the senior class, treasurer of the junior class, and treasurer of the sophomore class. Pachacamac will appoint the offices of president of the junior class and president of the sophomore class.
Next fall, Pachacamac will appoint a treasurer, and the P.S.G.L. a president of the freshman class.
In the spring of 1943 Pachacamac will name the president of the senior class, treasurer of the junior class, and treasurer of the sophomore class. P.S.G.L. will fill the offices of treasurer of the senior class, president of the junior class, and president of the sophomore class.
All vacancies will be filled by the party originally appointing.
In the fall of 1944, Pachacamac will appoint the president, and P.S.G.L. the treasurer of the freshman class.
The act provides that all Council committees of more than one member shall have equal representation from both parties. All disputes or controversies arising from the measure are to be referred to the student supreme court.
Malott Favors Plan
The act needs only the official endorsement of Chancellor Deane W. Malott to become effective. The act was delivered to the Chancellor this morning.
In commenting upon it, the Chancellor commended the Council for its action in providing for emergency appointment of officers thus freeing time and attention of students otherwise required for purposes of the election. He pointed out that the emergency change would result in no fundamental change whatever in the scope or importance of student government in the University.

"She's an old-fashioned European girl," he explains, "just like a nice well-brought-up girl—not a musician you see. She doesn't like American slang—I'm crazy about it. But we both agree that American food is 'okie-dokie.' We love apple pie and roast beef and salad and fried chicken and all the other American dishes that most Europeans have never tasted until coming here."

EMIL LENGYEL----
(continued from vage one) writer for the New York Times and New York Herald Tribune, Lengyel has written best-sellers such as the recent "Danube" and "Turkey." His "Hiller" was hailed as best on the subject. One of his more recent books, "New Deal in Europe," is being used by some of the leading universities in the United States.
Doctor Lengel has not relaxed in his efforts to keep up with European happenings, despite his present concentration on Africa. He has several friends still in Europe with whom he remains in contact. His lecture will include predictions, graphic analyses, personal experiences, and facts drawn from his own and his correspondents' observations.

Historians agree that it was probably in this manner that that delicious goulash popularly known as "Mulligan Stew" originated. No doubt the clan Mulligan was outstanding in developing the nostrum, and opened up the paths leading to present day improvements in the product as we know it.
"Undoubtedly, then, St. Patrick may be considered the original promoter of the temperance movement; by driving the snakes from the country, he removed the desire, the need for such a nostrum, which is the ultimate goal of all temperance

Six Freshmen Will Help Plan Kansas Relays
These men were chosen on the basis of their scholarship for the first semester, afternoon class schedules, typing ability, and general interest in sports.
Their work will consist of statistical work in sending out entry blanks for the high school track meet on April 17, and for the college track meet on April 18.
Sophomores who will serve on the committee are Bob Coleman. R. J. Atkinson, W. C. Hartley, and Garland Landrith.
The six freshman positions on the Kansas Relays committee have been filled, Clint Kanaga, senior manager of the committee, announced today.
Freshmen whom Kanaga appointed to serve on the committee are Harry Walton, Paul Carpenter, George Worrall, Bruce Whittenberger, Herb Kaufman, and James Maloney.
Juniors who will serve are Chuck Elliott, Dick Chubb, Byron Kern, and John Tilson.
Residence Hall Positions Open to Two Students
At least two, and possibly more, residence hall scholarships are available at present, the University Endowment association announced today. At the same time announcement was made of the availability of 156 scholarships for next year.
Operating only three halls, Battenfeld, Carruth, and Templin, last year, the Endowment association has announced that it believes the University halls set a record for low cost housing among American schools and colleges. The average cost per man was $14.45 per month last year. Each resident pays an $18 house bill on the first of the month and what is saved from that is distributed at the end of the $
A fourth cooperative hall, Jolliffe,
opened this semester.
National Glee Club Contest to Begin
The Pleasure Time National Glee Club Contest, sponsored by Fred Waring, will get under way next week. The Men's Glee Club will begin work on making recordings of their song entries under the supervision of Keith Davis, vocalist in Waring's organizaton and graduate of this University.
The men do all the work in the halls such as cooking, cleaning, and maintenance, these duties not to require more than an hour a day nor more than three on Saturday. That the men thrive on their own cooking is demonstrated in that weight charts kept last year indicate an average gain of four and one-half pounds per man.
Men in good scholastic standing on the Hill may apply now for the two available scholarships, and notices have been sent to every high school in Kansas regarding the scholarships next year. The appointments to the halls are worth about $100, representing the saving over what it costs independent and other students outside the halls to live. Appointees must maintain a grade average of 1.5 to be assured of maintaining their scholarships.
House bills cover board, room light, heat, power, water, telephone magazines, newspapers, and house laundry. Since the Endowment association owns the halls, room rent is not figured on the basis of operation costs.
There are 150 American colleges and universities entered in the contest of glee clubs. Regional winners will journey to New York City to perform before Waring himself.
The regional contests will be judged by recordings of the various glee clubs in their various musical numbers.
The Men's Glee Club, directed by Joseph F. Wilkins, will begin their record-cutting on March 28. Wilkins announced today. Davis is supposed to arrive a few days before that date to instruct the men in microphone technique, voice balancing, and other practical points connected with recording.

Dakar of Importance In Outcome of War
Dr. Emil Lengyel, Hungarian-born American citizen and authority on Dakar who spoke in convocation in Hoch auditorium this morning, stressed the vital importance of the West African colony in deciding the present war.
Very little was known about Dakar until a few years ago, Lengyel said, but recently it has appeared frequently in the news. This he attributes to a change in the conception of distance, which used to be "miles" and is now "bomber hours." Dakar is now less than five bomber hours from Brazil. This means that Germany, upon the completion of the Trans-Siberian railway, is very close to
ian railway, is very close the western hemisphere.
War To Africa
The traveling on the railway will be done almost exclusively by "Aryans" going south into Africa. Lengyel pointed this out as a direct contrast to the last world war in which warring nations went into Europe for a battlefield. Now Europe is going into Africa to fight.
Lengley hinted that American troops were being landed in Dakar. He also stated that there was a great increase in consular activity taking place in the colony.
Dakar is the only important and adequate harbor on the west African coast, with the installations, equipment, and depth to accommodate the largest battleship. It has been no tourist center, chiefly because of its climate, which Dr. Lengyel described as "rotten." The temperature often reaches 140 degrees
Imitation of Paris
in the shade, "and there is no shade."
Dr. Lengyei's one sentence description of Dakar was: "Dakar is a very, very poor imitation of Paris, France, and a very good original of Harlem, New York." The mosquitoes create a situation in the colony, and the pictures shown at the two moving picture houses in Dakar are "the world's worst, most wretched movies."
With nothing particularly happy about Dakar, why should the Germans want it, Dr. Lengely asks. He answers his question by pointing out that the geographical location of Dakar is the closest point to the western hemisphere, making it a principal objective of the Axis.
J. H. Nelson, dean of the Graduate School, introduced the speaker. The University band played several selections before the address.

Aviation Movie Demonstrate Lockheed Plant and Process
"Look to Lockheed for Leadership." sound movie from the Lockheed factories in California, was shown at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon in Marvin auditorium, Edward E Brush, professor of aeronautical engineering, said today.
The movie was sent by Lockheed for this special showing by the student chapter of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. Professor Brush invites anyone interested in aeronautics to attend.
In addition to shots of all Lockheed aircraft in flight, including the P38, the world's fastest pursuit
plane, the Lockheed Hudson bomber, standard equipment of the Royal Air Force Coastal command; and well - known commercial Lockheed models, the movie will show the manufacturing processes in building these aircraft.
Ensign John Petty Edwards, who was graduated from the University in 1939, was one of those awarded the Navy Cross for gallantry in action at Pearl Harbor on December 7. He is a member of Beta Theta Pi.
Awarded Navy Cross
Edwards received his commission as ensign at Pensacola, Fla., in the summer of 1940 and went to Hawaii in the fall of that year.
Calisthenics Class to Start
With an eye to physical fitness, some 100 or more students are looking forward to the first meeting of the new, voluntary, calisthenics class to be conducted twice a week until May 3 by Dr. Forrest C. Allen, varsity basketball coach and professor of physical education.
The class was originally scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m. Monday, but since Dr. Allen has been out of town most of the week while the University basketball team played in the N.C.A.A. playoffs in Kansas City, Mo., plans for the class have not been completed. The opening date of the class, possibly next Wednesday, will be announced later.
Classes will be conducted in Robinson gymnasium until the weather is suitable for outside sessions. Men and women will meet in separate sections.
Enrollment is still open and is being conducted by Ku Ku's and Jay Janes. Students may also enter the class by contacting the registrar's office or the athletic office.
The class will meet from 4:30 to 5:20 every Monday and Wednesday afternoon. No credit is offered.
The work of the class will be stricty calisthenics. Orville Wright, chairman of the M.S.C. war-defense committee, which has promoted the class, emphasized today the great need for physical fitness among college students in this time of emergency. "To maintain that physical fitness," Wright said, "is the main purpose of the class."
A towel fee of 75 cents will be charged to each entrant in the class. This entitles him to 18 towels during the course of the 17 meetings of the class. Students are expected to furnish their own gym clothes.
Summerfield Exams Given To 69 Boys
Price Administrator Says Thrift Is Duty
Sixty-nine prospective Summerfield scholars took the regional Summerfield examination given on the campus last Saturday. Prof. Olin Templin, secretary of the endowment association, and A. H. Turney, professor of education conducted the 6-hour examination.
Results of last Saturday's examination will be made public in about a month. Final examinations to determine who will win the scholarships will be given here April 20 and 21.
Washington, March 19—(UP)—Americans must apply the traditional ideas of New England thrift and saving as a contribution toward the final victory, J. K. Galbraith, assistant price administrator, said today.
"The thing is for each individual to avoid making unnecessary expenditures," Galbraith explained in an interview. "Every dollar spent unnecessarily threatens the stability of our economy; every dollar saved contributes to that stability."
During the 1930's, a legitimate economic service was served by spending money, Galbraith explained. Both the individual and the government contributed during the depression years through spending money instead of saving it, he said.
Now the situation is reversed. Individuals who spend their income for unnecessary things instead of buying defense bonds or putting it in a bank are doing their country a real disservice, the OPA executive said.
Approximately $15,000,000,000 will have to be diverted from the nation's regular spending channels simply because war production will prevent the manufacture of enough civilian goods to take up all the income available.
Bother OPA
Americans will have to practice a rigid self-control if they are going to prevent tremendous pressures building up for price increases and ultimately inflation, Galbraith said.
After normal personal taxes and savings have been subtracted from the estimated 1942 income payments, O-PA predicts that approximately 800,-000,000,000 will be left. Normally this

Since not all organized houses have turned in their books, more are expected to come. These houses will be contacted this week.
Medlin requests anyone having books to contribute to call him or turn the books in at Watson library.

would be spent. But only $65,000,00.00
- 000 in civilian goods will be produced
this year because much of America's
industrial capacity is being converted
to war goods.
The conversion program already has moved into the automobile industry and shortly will close down civilian production of radios, domestic mechanical refrigerators, washing machines and typewriters. That means that the money which formerly went into these channels will have to find other places to go.
What becomes of these dollars rolling around in the economy is what bothers Galbraith and his OPA associates.
Sacrifices Required
Some of these dollars obviously will go into defense bonds and other increased savings on a voluntary basis. Additional taxes are considered inevitable. Both these, however, are not expected to account for the entire $15,000,000,000. Congress has talked of compulsory savings—collection of part of every American's wages or salary regularly by the government before he receives his pay envelope or check.
Galbraith said that the average American has not given enough attention to the whole matter of increased income and decreased civilian goods. Too many people, he said, do not recognize the great dangers which may arise. Sacrifice will be required all along the line if the economic situation is to be kept well in hand, the OPA executive said.
General increases for wage earners, manufacturers and farmers all threaten to upset the economic apple cart which the OPA is attempting, in the main, to maintain on a level comparable with the pre-war position.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
--placed Kansas and Colorado in the same bracket. Whether it was the actual draw or the realization by N.C.A.A. officials that a game between Colorado and Kansas would be a "natural" and would pack the auditorium the first night, the fact remains that the two supposedly toughest teams in the playoffs will meet at nine o'clock tomorrow night in an offensive slug-fest that should see both teams tallying well over the 50-mark.
The Jayhawkers' work is cut out for them and they know full well the imensity of the task which lies before them. Their foe tomorrow night, the Colorado Buffaloes, are rated the No. 1 team in the country by the Eddie Dunkley rating system. This in itself makes them an imposing foe.
Supplementing this fact are the records which the Buffaloos have compiled this year. The Big Seven conference title was won with a record of 11 wins and a single loss. The first, second, and eighth leading scorers of the conference are members of the team. The Buffs conference scoring average assumed the tremendous proportions of 55.1 points a game while their defensive mark was the handsome figure of 38.3 points a game. Two other firsts by the Silver and Gold were the most points by an individual in a single game, 24 by Bob Doll against Colorado State, and the most field goals by an individual in one game, Doll and Leason McCloud, 10 each.
A PLEASANT RE-UNION: COX VS. ALLEN
But the individual players are not the only outstanding features of this Colorado basketball squad. Their coaching staff is also worthy of note. Forrest "Frosty" Cox is concluding his seventh year at the Boulder school and has brought four championships to the Boulder Buffs during that time,
A Kansas product through and through, Cox attended Newton High School where he gained a borne on the All-American prep team in 1927. In his three years of varsity competition at Kansas under Phog Allen he gained all-conference honors each year and the day after his final game in 1931 he was hired as assistant football coach and freshman basketball coach. He continued in this capacity until 1935 when he went west to succeed Henry "Hank" Iba, present Oklahoma A. and M. mentor, as cage tutor of the Buffalo basketball squad.
When Cox was playing his greatest games for Kansas, he was never a strong offensive threat but his defensive ability was that of the best. Les Edmonds, well-known Topeka sportsman, said at the time that Cox was "the greatest defensive man I have ever seen."
Cox was constantly being compared with Charles Black and Bob Mosby of the superlative 1923 team which went through the season undefeated and included Tus Ackerman at center. On that same team, by the way, was Adolph Rupp who is coaching the University of Kentucky Wildeats in the Eastern Division finals at New Orleans tomorrow night. His team meets Illinois.
When Cox was hired by Allen in 1931 as freshman coach, the latter commented, "Forrest Cox is one of the outstanding leaders on the campus. His technical ability to play the game is unquestioned, but more valuable than that is his love for the sport and his will to win. He puts everything he has into his work and is a splendid leader both on and off the athletic field. He has contributed much to Kansas morale in setting the proper example in athletic training and in meeting classroom requirements. We are happy to have him as a member of our coaching staff."
All of this has changed considerably since then however. Cox, so 'tis said, was getting too big for his pants while he was freshman coach on the Hill and was attempting to convince the businessmen along Massachusetts street that he, and not Allen, was the real boss of the Kansas varsity.
When in 1935 Cox went so far as to openly declare that he thought he should be head coach, events had reached a climax and the result was that Cox took a little trip westward. When he reached Colorado, however, the story changed in details somewhat.
The Colorado version of Cox's ouster runs something like this. In the 1938 season when Mit Allen, present freshman coach and son of Phog, was a junior and just breaking into the regular starting line-up his Dad became ill before one of the varsity games.
Cox was appointed to take charge of the varsity and coach the game according to Allen's instructions. However, Cox had his own ideas as to which five players constituted the strongest line-up and his quintet did not include Mit. Consequently when the game was over and Allen had regained his health in a few days, Cox received Holy H—from Phog concerning his tactics while coaching the team. Cox was never one to appreciate such remarks so he promptly informed his former teacher that he was pulling stakes at the end of that season.
There are the two stories as to why Frosty Cox left Lawrence and became head coach at Colorado. Reports from the Colorado campus indicate that Cox still holds a bitter hatred for the Allen family and is just waiting his chance to give Phog and his Kansas basketeers a sound thumping. Tomorrow night the time arrives and whether the pupil can hand his teacher a trimming is uncertain but it is clear that the rivalry which will draw a packed house into the Municipal auditorium is still making the N.C.A.A. officials chuckle with glee.
The supposition in these parts is that no draw was actually made. It is a known fact that Iba, if his Aggies had defeated Kansas, preferred to meet the Buffaloes. Furthermore, the N.C.A.A. fathers knew of the intense rivalry which existed between Cox and Allen and realized that a capacity crowd would witness a clash between these two teams. Analyzing the situation even further it was agreed that a full house night be in attendance for the final games Saturday night but the crowd for Friday night might fall off a trifle. To prevent this, the simple thing to do was to have Kansas and Colorado meet the first night and that way two capacity crowds could be anticipated.
The Kansas team need not feel unlucky about the draw however. If Colorado really is the best team then it might be a good idea for the Jayhawks to meet them first, knowing whom they will play and planning for them (continued to page five)
Kansas Is Out to Win
'Phog' Drills Cage Squad Strenuously
Kansas wants to win the N.C A.A. title! That fact was brought out quite conclusively yesterday afternoon when the Jayhawks went through their stiffest scrimmage of the entire season.
“Phog” Allen was in sharper form than he had been for many months as he continually harped at the players to follow their assignments and perform their fundamentals perfectly. During the past season Allen has been quite lax on his players, never making them practice too strenously.
"Wait Until Frosty Comes"
But last night it was different. He emphasized the minutest details as he drilled his charges on stopping the Colorado offense. And the players were in a corresponding mood as they worked with a seriousness that belied their intentions tomorrow night.
After the game in Kansas City Tuesday night Allen laughingly remarked to friends, "Just wait now until Frosty comes Friday night." And the entire team has the same attitude and are behind Phog to the man in an effort to beat the former protege of Allen's who deserted the state for greener pastures at Colorado.
It has always been rumored but never definitely confirmed by either coach that a rift occurred when Cox was freshman basketball coach on the Hill and that is the reason for his departure west. This animosity has continued through the years but never have the two teams met. A High Service Game Burkable
A High-Scoring Game Probably
A possibility of this meeting arose in 1940 when both teams competed in the Western Division finals of the N.C.A.A. but the draw decreed that Kansas should meet Rice and Colorado play Southern California. The Jayhawks did their share by trimming Rice 50 to 44 but the Buffaloes were upset by Southern Cal, 38 to 32, thus averting a meeting of the two teams.
This year, however, the first draw

Kansas didn't play its best game of the season and appeared to be strictly on the sloppy side at times but this situation worked out very well for the Aggies also were below par as they exhibited ragged passing during much of the game and their goal percentage was much below the Aggie standard.
The Cowboys connected on only 11 of their 42 shots for a percentage of 26 per cent which is considerably below their general average of well over 40 per cent. Kansas on the other hand was even worse as the Jayhawks hit less than 23 per cent

Miller Played All-America
Kansas was indeed fortunate that Ralph Miller and Ray Evans were at the peak of their games for without these two bulwarks the Jay-hawks would have been a lost outfit. Miller displayed his coolest form of the season as he calmly stood out at the center line and potted three long swishers during the first half. He hit two one-handers in the last half, one on a drive-in down the middle and the other on a beautiful hook shot to the side as he was going away from the basket. To these five field goals "Cappy" added seven free throws out of eight chances to gather a total of 17 points.
Evans Handcuffed Eggleston
Miller's performance Tuesday night, in comparison with Lonnie Eggleston, star forward of the Aggies who has been acclaimed All-American by many authorities, showed a definite superiority on the Kansan's part and boosted his chances for making future All-Americans this year.
From a defensive standpoint Ray Evans stole the entire show as he completely bottled up Eggleston throughout the last 35 minutes of the game. The Cowboy speedster hit two long goals in the first quar-

Colorado Buffaloes Rate Top-Ranking Position On Season's Record NCAA Western Division Playoffs Start Tomorrow
COLORADO
Number One favorite to sweep through the Western Division finals to victory is Frosty Cox's crew from Colorado. The Buffaloes have won 16 games and lost two this season, winning the Big Seven conference with a record of 11 games won and 1 lost.
Ace of the team is—not one but three. The Silver and Gold triumvirate of Leason McCloud, Bob Doll, and George Hamburg is the greatest trio that the Boulder school has ever produced on one team. McCloud was the leading scorer in 10 games, Doll in seven, and Hamburg led in the loss to the $\Lambda \Lambda$U Denver Legion club.
McCloud led the Big Seven in scoring with 192 points in 12 games for an even 16-point average. For the entire season he averaged 15 points a game. Doll finished second in the Big Seven with 12.4 points a game and a season average of 12.5 points. Hamburg was the eighth best scorer in the conference with a mark of 9.4 points a game and finished the season with a mark of 8.7 points.
The other two regulars for Cox are Bob Kirchner at guard and Heath Nuckolls at forward. The latter's average for the season is 4.1 points a game while Kirchner has averaged only three points a game.
Colorado's offensive style generally finds three men out and two men in but a Cox-variation shifts one of the out-men into the inner line and from this the Buffs work their screen plays.
If their close-in offensive game is not working the Buffaloes rely on Hamburg to break up the opponent's tight-knit defense by potting long goals from the center stripe. Kirchner and Doll form the defensive backbone of the club.
Barney Oldham, one of six Kansans on the 11-man squad, has started several of the recent games and with his five feet eight inches provides most of the fight and hustle
The pride of Kansas and kingpin of the Missouri Valley, the University of Kansas Jayhawkers will carry the colors of the Fifth District into the N.C.A.A. playoff against Colorado tomorrow night.
Rated as one of "Phog" Allen's greatest teams, the Jayhawks have won 16 out of 20 games during the season and tied with Oklahoma at eight and two for the Big Six championship. The Kansans have averaged 48 points a game during the 20-game schedule and have held their opponents to 38.5 points.
KANSAS
The Jayhawks set a new Big Six scoring record by tallying 521 points in 10 games for a 52.1 points-a-game average. Ralph Miller led the league in scoring with 152 points for a 15.2 average. Charlie Black, the other forward, was second high scorer in the conference with 128 points. Both players made the official all-Big Six first team.
This year's Kansas team has a world of natural ability with Miller as the pacemaker. He tallied an even 100 points in his last five Big Six games and continued with a brilliant 17-point splurge against the Oklahoma Aggies in the playoff game to determine this district's representative. Black has been the rebounding demon for the team the entire year and the threat of his scoring prowess always makes the opposing team put one of their two best guards on him. At six feet four inches, he is the tallest man on the Kansas regular five.
SPORTIN' AROUND---should simplify the hardships somewhat. Also the Jayhawks will be in better shame for the game tomorrow night.
At center is the scintillating ball-handler John Buescher. He averaged 9.8 points a game in conference play and is the quarterback of the Kansas offense.
(continued from page four)
At guards the Kansas team is well fortified with sophomore Ray Evans the outstanding defensive man of the conference. The other guard spot is alternated between Marvin Sollenberger and T. P. Hunter.
The idea that Kansas has a wealth of material and substitutes galore is strictly erroneous. The Jayhawks have only seven men that can be inserted into a tight fray with any confidence and one of them is extremely precarious as defensive insurance.
Wake Up Students
If the Jayhawks can't beat the Buffs tomorrow night they might as well find it out early and get the agony over with. On the other hand, and this is the more logical point of view, should Kansas win their first tilt it will give them added confidence and enable them to get over their second hurdle on Saturday night. All the other teams of the tournament play the same, fast-breaking, high scoring type of game that Kansas does, so the Jayhawks should be at their best. If they are, they can't be defeated.

Only three men on the 11-man squad are under six feet three inches in height with Ed Voss, center, topping the list at six feet five and one-half inches. The regular starting quintet averages six feet four inches.

STANFORD
Co-captains Durness and Bill Cowden pace the team. Both men gained all-conference honors for the second year in a row. Burness averaged 8.75 points a game in conference play and had the same mark for the 25 regular season games. Cowden tallied 5.7 points a game in conference and 5.4 points for the full season.
The leading point maker for the Indians this season has been sophomore forward Jim Pollard. He finished second in the conference with an average of 10.1 points a game and for the entire season made 9 points a game.
Voss, the most improved player on the inexperienced Indian squad, averaged 8.25 points a game in conference games and 7.6 points for the 25 scheduled games. The fifth man in the starting line-up, Howie Dallmar, a junior college transfer playing his first year at Stanford, made 8.1 points a game in conference and 7.4 points for the full season. The last three regulars made the second team picked by the Pacific Coast conference coaches.
RICE
The highest scoring team in the tournament is the Rice Institute aggregation from Houston, representing the Sixth District. Winning 20 out of 23 games, the Owls amassed an average of 56.4 points a game while holding their opponents to 38.9 points.
Bus Brannon, coach of the Owls, brought his team through the season to tie with the Arkansas Razorbacks at 10 wins and two losses for the championship of the Southwest Conference. Coach Glen Rose of Arkansas withdrew his team from consideration, which would have necessitated a playoff, because the Razorbacks were hampered by injuries at the last of the season.
Coach Everett Dean's outfit averaged 43 points a game for the full schedule and held their opponents to 34 points a game. Stanford utilizes the fast break and sticks to a man-to-man defense.
Stars of the team this year are concentrated mainly in the offensive front line. At forward spots for the Owls are Bill Closs and Placido Gomez. Clos is a six foot six inch sophomore who has been in and out of the scoring lead of the Southwest Conference all season. He finished in second place. Gomez is the shortest man on the first string, touching the measuring bar at five feet eleven inches.
At center is the star of the team, big Bob Kinney. He is another of the Owls who played against Kansas in 1940 and he stretches upward six feet six inches. He led the Southwest Conference in scoring after a close fight with his teammate Closs. In his last three games Kinney tallied 58 points. Kinney's latest honor was to be chosen on Pic magazine's All-American team this week.
At guards for the Owls are Chet Palmer, a flashy driving player, and Harold Lambert, a brilliant dribler.

The KANSAN Comments...
The Importance of Suez
Spring officially arrives next Saturday. Within a short time Hitler's long expected spring offensive must start. That spring offensive is on the "must" list for Hitler, to rebuild the faith of the German people after the most disastrous period in nine years of Hitler rule.
Since the last throw of the dice in North Africa finds General Rommel with the most chips, the next major German drive may well be there. To quote Raymond Clapper, "If the Germans break through in Egypt, open up the Suez and join hands with Japan, which is pushing west from the other side, then you can settle down to the longest, hardest, most uncertain war you ever dreamed of."
It is up to America and Britain to see that this does not happen. No other battle of the war will be more decisive than will the battle for Suez. To lose it means the loss of Russia and China as effective allies. To lose it means years added to the war. To win it may mean quick victory.
Germany is vitally in need of oil and raw materials. If she were not, Hitler would never have attacked Russia. His drive for the Ural oil fields failed. Japan has a long wait before she can effectively utilize the vital war materials of the recently conquered Dutch East Indies. But this will remain true only as long as Germany and Japan are separated.
If the Allies hold Suez, Germany and Japan will remain the "have-not" nations. If Germany gets Suez and joins Japan, they will be able to hold out almost indefinitely. Only by keeping the Axis in the "have-not" class can the United Nations hope for reasonably quick victory. To do this they must hold Suez.
The Significance of MacArthur
General MacArthur's assumption of command in Australia may result in some more vigorous action on that front. At present it is his job to hold Australia until reinforcements arrive. There is little doubt that American troops and American materials are in Australia, but it is questionable whether they are sufficient in number to back up any effective offensive action. It is essential that offensive action be started in the Pacific sooner or later. Victory cannot be complete without the recapturing of the Dutch Indies, Borneo, the Celebes, and the Philippines.
Americans probably have been a little too happy over the transfer, though. There is nothing at present to indicate that MacArthur's command extends to India and Burma, which at present are of more importance to the allies than are the islands in the Pacific. Through India and Burma runs the supply line to China. Without allied control of these vital sections, China would be powerless, her armies without the necessities of battle. As an ally, China is valuable, because of her knowledge of the fighting methods of the Japanese, and because of her immense man-power and nearness to the battle.
MacArthur has proved his valor, his military brilliance, and general ability in his defense of Bataan peninsula against vastly superior forces of Japanese. The wise move would be to place him in complete command of the eastern theater of war. This step will probably be taken in time, but the sooner it can be accomplished the better it will be for the allies. The war to date has been a sad story
of unpreparedness, incompetent commanders, and consequent defeats. With the appointment of MacArthur may come the turning point.
A Bottleneck Broken?
A major problem of the day is the transportation of oil from our mid-continent fields, where it is produced in greatest quantity to the east coast, now threatened by an oil shortage.
As a solution to this transportaion bottleneck, Governor Payne Ratner has proposed the conversion of pipelines east of Chicago to transportation of refined petroleum instead of the present crude oil; he suggested that idea in a message to Harold L. Ickes, federal oil co-ordinator.
By such a change, it would be possible to double, practically overnight, the gasoline and oil deliveries from Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, because one barrel of the refined finished product is made from two barrels of crude oil.
This solution seems not only plausible, but about the only practical way to move gasoline and fuel oil into the areas where shortages are imminent.—T.M.

Rock Chalk Talk BETTY WEST
The Rock Chalk Talk brings you, by special clipping services, excerpts from the most pertinent personal columns of American Newspapers. Take these, for instance, from the Kansas City Star:
"GOD has revealed exact year this world will end; proof sent FREE. Write HARVEST, P.O. Box 33. Jefferson City, Mo." And try to figure out this little gem:
And try to figure out this little gem. "MODERN Eve miscast in comedy of errors; intelligent, alert, analytical mature; capable discriminating between elemental factors and non essentials; willing to give complete cooperation for expert guidance. Address W 456 Star."
The Chi O. freshman who owns Persephone, took her out on the town for a brief spin after dinner. That is, their intentions were along that line. They pushed it half way down the Hill, received a push from a carload of Delts, and still the thing wouldn't start. Another push from another carload of Delts took them down to a filling station on Ninth street. The filling station man pushed them halfway up the Hill, and then along came another shift of Delts to maneuver them home. Probably, this is the only after dinner jaunt ever taken, in which an automobile never once went under its own power.

Lasher wins War on Weather!
For years, telephone cable has been hung by stiff wire rings from its supporting strand. But repeated expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes sometimes proved too much for even the best cable sheath. Fatigue cracks developed near the poles—this meant leaks—possible service interruptions—expensive repairs.
Recently, men of the Bell System developed a machine that lashes the cable and strand together in such a way that the concentration of strains near the poles is minimized. The Cable Lasher has also proved a great aid in the speedy installation of some of the new cables needed for airfields, camps, bases and war factories.
There are many opportunities in the Bell System for men with the urge—and the ability—to do a job better than it has ever been done before.

Jap Force Advances To Point Near Australia
Canberra, Australia, March 19. — (UP) — A Japanese invasion force is marching through New Guinea toward Port Moresby, only 350 miles from Australia, in what threatened to be the first move toward a direct attack on this continent and the Allied forces under Gen. Douglas MacArthur, it was revealed today.
A Port Moresby dispatch said the Japanese, in considerable numbers, were marching through the arc of the Markham valley, from the Lae area of the Huon Gulf toward the Gulf of Papua on the Port Moresby side of the island
They were driving across a 110-mile stretch of land, one of the few passable routes in New Guinea, and if they continued they would reach the coast at a point some 100 miles north of Port Moresby, always regarded a vital Japanese objective because it is a logical base from which to attempt an invasion of Australia.
Have Made Progress
It was indicated that the Japanese had made considerable progress. The Port Moresby dispatch said it was assumed they would soon be in contact with the Australian forces in the island.
As the Japanese advanced, United States and Australian war planes, striking at Japanese invasion bases over a 2,000 mile front, hit a Japanese heavy cruiser and damaged two other big ships in the Bismarck Island northeast of the Huon Gulf and raided Koepang, in Dutch Timor, for the second time in 24 hours. Prime Minister John Curtin announced.
Seeking Base Point
Port Moresby dispatches said it was believed the Japanese, in their advance through the Markham valley, sought new airdromes from which they could attack Australia, and it was expected here that Allied planes soon would be in operation against them.
The dispatches said the Australian ferences there were intact and had suffered no casualties.
They added that the Australians were confident they could hold the "back door" to Port Moresby if the Japanese essayed a direct attack on the town, and the Australian base in its area.
The Japanese were reported to be advancing rapidly toward a position from which they could send small parties of troops to strike at Port Moreby, but dispenses said such parties would be vulnerable and it was indicated that the Moresby command believed any direct attack would have to be supported, at least, by sea-borne troops.
In addition to hitting a cruiser and two other ships. Allied planes scored near misses, certain to have done heavy damage, on at least two and probably four other large ships. A direct bomb hit was scored on the stern of the Japanese cruiser, apparently one of 10,000 tons, and the plane crews saw a column of smoke rising from it as they left.
Alumnus To Cover Australian Front
Carleton V. Kent, graduate of the University in 1932, is reported to have arrived in Melbourne, Australia, as a correspondent on the staff of the Chicago Times. Kent is the son of Prof. and Mrs. C. V. Kent of Lawrence. He was the Hill reporter for the Lawrence Journal-World for some time.
His hazardous 18-day crossing included a near collision with an enemy submarine and a storm at sea.
War Authority To Talk Tuesday
Roland Elliott, authority on the war situation, will be the guest speaker at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building, as a part of the series of "America Today" programs being sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.-C.A.
Elliott, who has just returned from Europe, will speak on "Post War Reconstruction." He was the last person to get a passport into Germany before the declaration of war.
Elliott was graduated from the University of Illinois and has done graduate work at the University of Colorado and at Cambridge University, England. As national executive secretary of the World's Student Christian Federation, Elliott is speaking at various colleges throughout the country in the interest of Christian student organizations.
Alumni Group To Fill Offices
Candidates for the University Aumni offices to be filled this year have been announced. Ballots will be mailed on or soon after April 20, to be returned by May 20. Two alumni are running for each of the four offices to be filled this year, one on the "K" ticket and one on the "U" ticket.
Hugo T. Wedell, president of the Alumni association and justice of the Kansas Supreme court, appointed two nominating committees, each selecting a set of four nominees.
Candidates for the office of president are Ray S. Pierson, law '23,
Burlington lawyer, and Robert T.
Price, law '27, Topeka lawyer.
Physical Exams For Job Seekers
Two directors' positions are to be filled this year. Candidates are Miss Bertha Luckan McCoy, '09 Emporia, retiring vice-president; Justice Wedel, retiring president; Will Miller, '08, Chicago; and Clyde Nichols, jr., Kansas City, Mo.
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, wishes to remind members of the senior class that they are entitled to complete physical examinations before graduation, and that many of the jobs for which they will apply require information which such an examination furnishes.
Other candidates may be nominated by petition before April 20. A petition must have 20 signers, at least 10 of whom live in a county or counties other than where the other signers reside.
For vice-president, Lloyd Ruppenthal, law '25, McPherson, and Miss Florence Fugu Joseph, '14, Whitewater, have been named.
Only about 45 of the seniors have taken the examination so far, Doctor Canuteson said. In addition to the regular physical check-up, the students are entitled to laboratory tests, X-rays, and immunization from preventable diseases. The only expense to them, outside of the regular health fee, is the time it takes to be examined. To have such school would cost not less than $25, Doctor Canuteson estimated.
Members of the "K" nominating committee were R. B. Stephens, Lawrence, Miss Elizabeth Stephens Haughey, Concordia, and Stuart Campbell, Topeka. The committee choosing the "U" ticket were H. W. Wilson, Horton; Miss Agnes Engel, Kansas City, Mo.; and Tom Van Cleave, jr., Kansas City.
"We hee that the seniors will not wait until the last few weeks of school to come in for the examination, for there just won't be time then," he explained, "since it takes at least two weeks to complete all the immunization etcs."
Although this examination is not compulsory, Doctor Canuteson recommends it. With the data on the physical condition of e ach graduate in the files, hospital officials will be able to accommodate those who write for such information in connection with applications for jobs, insurance, and similar situations, which confront the student after leaving school.
J. W. Twente, professor of education, will speak in Abilene Saturday before the Dickinson county association of school board members and teachers. "Let's Keep School!" will be Twente's topic.

ter of the half and immediately Evans switched men and started guarding Eggleston. Numerous times during the game the Jayhawkers would bat the ball or steal it completely from the Aggie star and start a Kansas offensive. In addition, Evans tallied three field goals and one free throw to take second scoring honors for Kansas. Charlie Black and John Buescher were both below par as they racked up only three points between themselves on 14 field goal chances and seven free throw attempts. Both players, however, played strong rebounding games and were valuable cogs in feeding the ball to Miller and Evans for their shots.
Millikan came back in the next minute to tie the count with a drive-in shot. For the next 31 minutes it was strictly a dog-eat-dog affair as both clubs battled furiously up and down the court.
Kansas got the opening tip-off but lost if to allow Bud Millikan, all-Missouri Valley conference guard who exhibited buck fever as he missed four consecutive free throw shots during the game, to take the first shot. It was missed and Kansas brought the ball down the court to give Miller his first long shot which he made at the one-minute mark.
The count was tied five times with the Aggies making four points in the last two minutes of the first half to lead 17 to 15 at intermission. The Aggies were hitting the basket with regularity during this period as their percentage was 36.8 per cent on seven baskets out of 19 shots.
Shortly after mid-way in the first half the Jayhawks gained a 12 to 9 lead and this was the biggest advantage until the last four minutes of the game when the Jayhawks amassed their winning margin. Miller and Eggleston traded goal for goal in the first half but "Cappy"
First Half Was Tight
But the last half was a different story. The Cowboys made just four goals out of 23 attempts for 17 per cent. The striking feature of this however, was that the last two buckets were made in the last minute on a desperation shot from midcourt by Jackie Taylor and an unguarded set-up by J. T. Newman three seconds before the final gun.
Eggleston made his final goal at the 12 and one-half minute mark to give the Aggies their last lead, 24 to 23. Miller then put Kansas ahead with a one-handed drive-in

Tires or No Tires
★★★
Kansans Drive
Topeka, March 19—(UP)—There may be a serious shortage of rubber, but apparently Kansas motorists aren't very much worried about it.
According to the commission's findings traffic during February was only 7.6 per cent less than it was a year ago. And during January, the first month of tire rationing—traffic was heavier than it was in January, 1941.
That, at any rate, is the conclusion reached by the State Highway commission which has just completed a survey of driving in the state.
The survey was conducted by John Harbes, planning engineer of the state highway commission. He placed "electric eye" counters at various places on important highways, but not in areas where direct defense traffic was heavy.
Harbes predicted that motor traffic in the state would decline rapidly in a few months, as soon as the present tires begin wearing out.
Government Class To Visit Topeka
The municipal administration class of W. R. Maddox, associate professor of political science, will go to Topeka Saturday morning to visit the city finance department.
The highlight of the trip will be the inspection of the modern accounting system used in Topeka. Professor Maddox says that Topeka has one of the best-known modern accounting systems in the country.
Arrangements for the trip were made through Monte P. Jones, commissioner of finance in Topeka. The class will observe the development of the city budget for presentation to the council and will follow the methods of making a city budget through every step.
This trip to Topeka was formerly scheduled for March 7 but Topeka officials requested that it be postponed until March 21. Some of the officials would have found it impossible to work with the class at the earlier date.
Several field trips of this nature are to be scheduled for the class this semester.
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, was elected to the executive committee of the Kansas Tuberculosis and Health association at its annual meeting yesterday at Topeka. The main business of the meeting was the discussion of the association's program for the coming year.
Elected To Executive Committee
Men May Enroll In Navu V-1
The Naval Reserve Class V-1, for college men between the ages of 17 and 20, has been opened to men now attending, or who have been accepted for enrollment by, any accredited college or university.
Not more than 80,000 men can be enrolled in the program yearly. These men must continue in college at their own expense, taking pre-inductive Naval training curricula for two years. At the completion of the first one and one-half years of college, the men will be given general comprehensive examinations by the navy department.
From the results of the examination, 20,000 of the men will be automatically transferred to Naval Reserve Class V-5 and 15,000 will be selected for transfer to Naval Reserve Class V-7. The remaining men, not more than 45,000 annually, will be permitted to finish the first two years of their college work, then will be called to active duty as enlisted men in 'the regular navy.
Upon the Class V-1 candidate separating himself from college for any reason, he will be immediately ordered to active duty in an enlisted status.
Men interested in enlisting in the Class V-1 program should consult Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar.
Faculty Members To Attend Education Meet This Weekend
Members of the faculty of the School of Education will attend a progressive education meeting in Kansas City tomorrow and Saturday.
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, will act as chairman of the final general session program Saturday afternoon. Other members of the department attending the meetings are J. W. Twente, professor; T. P. O'Brien, professor; A. H. Turney, professor; C. B. Althaus, associate professor; E. E. Bayles, associate professor; and Bert A. Nash, professor.

Feuermann Plays Varied Concert
Emanuel Feuermann, who has been pronounced by leading musical authorities as the greatest cellist now on the concert stage, presented the third event on the University concert couré last night.
Feuermann and his accompanist, Albert Hirsh, played as their first number Brahms' "Sonata in F Major." A sonata of an entirely different nature, the "Arpegglione Sonata in A Minor," by Schubert, was played next.
After the intermission the artist presented Stravinsky's "Italian Suite," a work in five movements. In the closing group were Mendelsohn's "Song Without Words" and Chopin's "Introduction and Polanaise."
In response to insistent applause, Feuermann played as an encore three popular items from lighter cello repertoire: Davidoff's "At the Fountain," Chopin's "Nocturne in E Flat," and Popper's "Spiming Shore."
Variety Is Theme For Student IIs
Watkins Memorial hospital reports an appendectomy, a tonsillectomy, a case of mumps, and a pneumonia patient out of a population of 19 today.
Leonard Hieber, freshman engineer, underwent an appendectomy yesterday afternoon. The tonsillectomy was performed today on Kenneth Edmonds, fine arts freshman.
Herbert Virden, college junior, has the only case of mumps on the Hill, since Lawrence Cheatum, junior engineer, was dismissed from the hospital Tuesday. At present, a monopoly on pneumonia is held by Mary Schultes, college senior.

Noted K.U. Engineer Dies in Seattle
Joseph Jaeobs, aged 72, widely known consulting engineer who died Monday night in Seattle, Wash., of a heart attack, was a University alumnus, having been graduated in 1889. In June, 1940, the University honored him by conferring upon him a professional degree in civil engineering.
Jacobs has investigated and made designs on irrigation, power, water supply, and bridge projects, including the Grand Coulee and Bonneville dams, the Columbia Basin, and various reclamation projects in the northwest.
He served with the A.E.F. in the first World War for 19 months as a major in the engineers' corps.

By Chuck Elliott, Kansan Sports Editor
It's been a long, rough road but at last the Jayhawkers are entering upon the last mile. The first step will come at 9:00 o'clock tonight when Kansas faces Colorado in the semi-finals of the N.C.A.A. Western Division playoffs at Kansas City in the Municipal auditorium.
The plan of the contest was outlined and explained in a meeting of the presidents of organized houses last Monday. Wright then emphasized 'important position that the saving of waste paper occupies in the national defense program.
The game tonight will be a classic just on the ability of the two teams themselves. But as a sidelight the fans will have the interesting spectacle of watching a pupil oppose his teacher
Hill Houses To Save Paper For Contest
A waste-paper-saving contest among organized houses on the Hill will start Monday and continue for a period of one month, under the supervision of the War-Defense committee of the Men's Student Council, Orville Wright, chairman of the committee, announced today.
The contest will be based on the total amount of newspapers, magazines, cardboard, and other types of waste paper that the individual houses can save during the month. Any organized house may enter the competition by appointing a captain to take charge of the saving, and by notifying Wright of the appointment before Friday, March 27.
The committee will take the full responsibility of bundling, transporting, and selling the paper. Houses have only to inform the committee that the paper is ready to be removed.
with no holds barred.
The case in question involves the Jayhawker coach, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, testing his knowledge and years of experience against the craftiness and exuberance of youth in the form of Colorado's coach, Forrest "Frosty" Cox.
Played Under "Phog"
The two coaches have never had collegiate teams of their own coaching oppose each other. Cox graduated from Kansas in 1931 and was freshman basketball coach under Allen until 1935, when he went to Colorado as head cage coach. Since that time the teams have never met although a possibility arose in 1940 when both teams entered the Western Division playoffs of the NCAA tournament. The draw, however, did not place the two teams together the first night and Colorado lost its game, doing away with the chance of their meeting the next night.
This will be te seventh meeting of the two schools, with Kansas holding a victory-margin of five to one. The first three games were played in 1931 when Cox was a member of the Kansas crew. The Jayhawks won all three games. The

Roles in Clare Booth's comedy, "The Women," are still available, Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama and director of the play, announced today. Final tryouts for the remaining comedy parts will be held at 7 p.m. Monday in the little theater in Green hall.
The play will not be given as a staged reading as was previously reported, but will be presented as a full production. Definite dates and the cast for the play will be announced later, Professor Craftum said.

Orchids to Managing Editor In Honor of Engagement
Heidi Viets, managing editor of the Daily Kansan, is ready to give advice on how to be managing editor of a paper and get a man at the same time.
It's making history, when a woman takes over the controlling position of a newspaper and sits in the managing editor's slot at the news desk. But when she can find time to profess her ability in the art of "man getting" at the same time—that is a notable accomplishment. ___
Last night no one could understand how the news copy was all downstairs before the deadline. Something in the way of making history itself. But at 4:30 the Kansas was all set up for the day and the managing editor was watching out the window for Don Keplinger.
And before the first paper rolled off the press for the day Viets and Keplinger were strolling down Lover's Lane, to promise and bind in secret and the customary ceremonial manner of the day, their engagement.
The usual orchids, candy, and cigars were presented in celebration of their formal announcement at the Chi Omega and the Delta Tau Delta houses last night. But the Kansan staff presents orchards of orchids to its managing editor, who deserves the noble prize of the journalism department (if it had one) and congratulations to Keplinger.

But he raks the average of really pretty girls suitable for show business about as follows:
A Queen
Someone has suggested that the University of Kansas should invite Billy Rose, the play producer, here to Mt. Oread. Not to see any of the local dramatic talents, but to see the women.
"Maybe it's the climate that makes the kids there so pretty." Rose said.
"I've had calls for girls in all parts of the country—New York, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Texas—"
The fact is that Billy Rose doesn't think much of the women in the Middle West. Recently at Miami Beach, Fla., surveying a bevy of alleged Florida beauties in the hope of finding a few new faces (and figures for his next theatrical ventures, the producer raised the sectional feud. $ \circ $
Rose says that Texas has the most beautiful women in the land.
Rose sat on the beach of an elaborate hotel pool and watched Florida lassies dressed in the briefest of swimming suits, parade about, trying to catch the eye of the so-called connoisseur of the feminine "chassis." But it seems they had little to interest him. What is worse, Rose thinks the Florida pulchritude is better than in the Middle West (which necessarily but provokingly includes Kansas).
Francisco.
"Two girls out of every 100 in New York.
"Two girls out of every 100 in Miami.
"Seven girls out of every 100 in Texas.
"When I look at a girl I notice her eyes, teeth, figure, smile and that animation which we call personality."
Of course, it is true that Rose has never surveyed the "beauties" of the University of Kansas. "Kansas, where every woman is a queen." Perhaps we have congregated here the best of Kansas or even the best of the Mid West. But it seems that no one really wants Billy Rose to come here to give his authoritative opinion on the matter.

The "Knute Rockne of Basketball," Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, is nearly completing his twenty-fifth year as head coach at the University and his thirty-second year in the coaching game as the N.C.A.A. playoffs are at hand.
The record of the dean of American basketball coaches now shows 25 conference championships in 32 years of coaching. Brilliant coach, author, organized and researcher, Doctor Allen has made many contributions to the advancement of the game.
His all-time winning percentage now stands at .8138 per cent with 551 victories and 126 defeats in 677 games. In 25 years at Kansas Allen has won 371 games and lost 112 out of 485 games for a percentage of .765.
In 1904 Allen entered the University of Kansas. During his college career, he lettered in basketball in 1905, 1906, and 1907, and in baseball in 1906 and 1907.
The following year, 1908, saw Allen off on the start of his coaching career, with a championship basketball team at KU. The next year he turned out
This concluded Allen's coaching efforts for three years while he pursued the study of medicine. In 1912 he became coach of all sports at Missouri State Teachers' College at Warrensburg and his service as a coach has been continuous since that time.
In the fall of 1919 he became director of athletics at the University of Kansas and before the basketball season was over was coaching that sport. In a short time he had put the Jayhawks back up in the championship bracket, a spot which they have been at or near ever since. In one stretch 1922 through 1927, Kansas basketball teams won six straight conference championships.
another title winner on Mount Oread. That same season Doctor Allen also was coaching the Haskell Indian team which won 19 of 24 games and the cage team of Baker University, 20 miles away, which won 22 out of 24 games after having an all-victorious season of 24 games under Allen the previous year.

FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1942
To the hundreds of Hill fans who will flock over to Kansas City tonight for the big game, here are a few additional facts on the outstanding members of the Colorado crew.
Leason "Pete" McCloud, forward, six feet one inch, senior from Newton Pete was an all-conference forward last year and earned the same honor this season. The Denver Post had this to say when McCloud was named all-conference, "McCloud's one-handed shot was the most phenomenal in these parts in some time and absolutely unstoppable when he was having a good night—which was practically every night he played. In addition he was cool, heady, and saved his shots for the most important moments. It was his hot streaks that broke the backs of C.U.'s opponents more than anything else." He set a Big Seven scoring record last season with 13 points a game and broke it this year with an average of 16 points. His 18-game average this year is 15 points. Is a fighter on defense and at his best when the going is the toughest. Is dark and has an "eagle" nose, fast and can jump like a kangaroo. Works well with Bob Doll on the post.
DOLL MAY PROVIDE DIFFERENCE TONIGHT
Barney Oldham, forward, five feet eight inches, junior from Hays. "Half Pint" Oldham is one of the classiest ball-handlers you'll find. He's a fighter with worlds of hustle. Has been alternating with Heath Nuckolls at this starting post, scoring 34 points in 14 games for a 2.4 average. Barney's a crowd-pleaser and his basket eye, especially on set shots, is a luloo.
Bob Doll, center, six feet five inches, senior from Boulder. Big Bob is a junior college transfer, hailing from California originally. He was out of competition last season but was voted the most valuable player in the 1940 National Invitational Basketball tournament held in Madison Square Garden in New York. Doll is unusually fast for his size, handles himself well, and can hit the hoop with either hand. He is above average as a defensive player and clears both boards on rebounds. A good-looking lad, well liked by his teammates. Is a natural team leader. Averaged 9.6 points a game for 21 contests in 1940 and finished second to McCloud this year with an average in conference play of 12.4 points. His average for 18 games is 12.5 points. In selecting Doll on the all-conference team this year, The Denver Post said, "Doll's height, his agility, his drive and ability to go at top speed throughout the toughest of games made him a main cog in the C.U. machine. In addition he was fast, a good shot, and a tireless worker off both boards. Defensively he was tops."
George Hamburg, guard, six feet three inches, senior from Beloit. "With Onions" was a co-captain with McCloud of last year's team and is one of the finest all-around cagers the University has had. He is the director of the offense and the mainstay on defense. Was the team's second high scorer last season with 118 points in 16 games and this year tallied 158 points in 18 games. He stood eighth in the conference with an average of 9.4 points a game. Most of his points are racked up from long set shots. Is a talented rebounder and a rich customer under the bucket. Has worlds of drive on fast breaks and is an accurate passer. Great on one-handed jump shots. Made all-conference again this year.
Bob Kirchner, guard, six feet three inches, junior from Topeka. "Beany" was a regular last year as a sophomore and turned in some swell games, one of which was a 16-point output in the Garden. A lanky kid with a good basket-eye, Kirchner developed into a first-class rebound man near the fag end of last season. He scored 89 points in 16 games last year and 55 points in 18 games this season.
Don Putman, guard, five feet ten inches, sophomore from Boulder. Donnie, whose brother Warren was on last year's squad, was an all-state guard while preping at Boulder High. He has class marked all over him, is as smooth as silk, and knows his way around a cage floor. He's a good passer, a great set-shot, and a dandy team player. Possesses that "something" which makes him invaluable in close games. Tallied 44 points in 17 games this season.
Health Nuckolls, forward, five feet eleven inches, sophomore from Pueblo. Heath is another smooth all-state boy and might well be Putman's twin. They play just alike. Nichols has alternated with Oldham as the second regular forward and has more time to his credit than the Hays star. He handles the ball with ease and sureness and like Putman doesn't need a seeing-eye dog to get around the floor. Is fourth leading scorer on team with 75 points in 18 games for a 4.1 points-a-game average.
DEAN RIVALS ALLEN IN DEVELOPING COACHES
Odds and ends: Henry Iba, coach of the Oklahoma A. & M. Cowboys, claims that Bob Doll has the fastest moving pair of hands in the game of basketball today. . . . Even faster than Johnny Kotz of Wisconsin. . . . He utilizes this speed when he crosses the free throw lane on the block plays of Colorado and flicks out with either hand on shots to the hoop.
Stanford had only two of last year's nine lettermen to return this season and Coach Everett Dean is being given credit for doing one of the best coaching jobs ever seen on the West Coast. . . . Coach Dean is another Phog Allen when it comes to turning out successful coaches. . . . Hamline College, which won the National Intercollegiate tourney in K.C. last week, is coached by Joe Hutton who gained his knowledge from Dean. . . Dartmouth University, which plays Penn State tonight in the Eastern Division playoffs at New Orleans, is coached by a Dean product, Ossie Cowles. . . Branch McCracken, who won the title two years ago for Indiana over Kansas, is another as are Bill Easton of Drake University and H.B. Lee of Utah State. . . Dean is like Allen in another respect in that he can demonstrate what he is trying to teach. . . He can beat any man on his squad in a contest of set shot shooting or free throwing. . . He was 44 years old Wednesday.

At the other guard spot is Jack Wilson, Sigma Chi. He led his team into the finals against the Phi Delt's and played flashy ball aii year. Wilson was one of the fastest men to compete in intramurals and his dribbling game was outstanding. He averaged 8 points a game during the season.

Before the basketball season disappears entirely and the recent intramural basketball games lose all timeliness, it might be well to take a quick review of the outstanding players that performed in Class B during the past year.
Leading the cause of the Phi Delta Theta cagers during the entire season was senior guard, Clint Kanaga. He was the quarterback of the championship Phi's offense and set up all plays. He averaged 11 points a game during the season on his long set shots and his one-handed specialty attempt. Kanaga also was the backbone of the Phi Delt defense, guarding the highest scoring opponent in each game. For his fighting spirit and driving leadership, Kanaga is named captain of "B" all-stars.

bert of Phi Delta Theta. He played the pivot post in excellent fashion and his hook shots were unstoppable in most games. He was above average on defense and rebounding and averaged 12.5 points a game.
The other forward spot goes to the greatest rebounder in all divisions of intramurals, Frosty Wilson of Phi Delta Theta. He controlled the rebounds on both backboards in brilliant fashion and his fighting floor-game proved the difference between victory and defeat in most of the Phi games. He averaged 5 points a game but was the best feeder on the team, passing off to other players instead of taking shots for himself.
Hartley Makes Second Team
Craig Howes of Sigma Chi earns the center position on the first team for his rebounding and scoring ability. In all Sigma Chi games he controlled most of the rebounds and was an excellent defensive man. He averaged 7 points a game.
Forward berths on the second team go to high-scoring Jimmy Brown of Phi Kappa Psi and Dub Hartley. Both players were the outstanding offensive men for their teams and played good ball throughout the season. Hartley averaged 10.2 points a game and Brown tallied 12.2 points a contest.
T. P. Nelson gains the center spot

Allen-Cox NCAA Feud Tonight
(continued from page one) next year another three-game series was played and the Buffaloes copped one of the games.
49th Won Conferences
This year both teams won their conferences. Colorado won the Big Seven with 11 wins and one loss. They averaged 55.1 points a game and allowed their foes 38.3 points a game. Leason McCloud was conference scoring champion with 192 points in 12 games for a 16-point average. Bob Doll was second in the conference with 149 points for a 12.4 points-a-game average.
Kansas, on the other hand, tied with Oklahoma for the title of the Big Six conference with eight victories and two defeats. The Jayhawks set a new team scoring record by tallying 521 points in 10 games for a 52.1 points-a-game average. Their opponents were held to 394 points or 39.4 points a game. Ralph Miller led the conference in scoring with 152 points for a 15.2 points-a-game average. Charlie Black was second with 128 points for a 12.8 points-a-game average.
Kansans vs. K. U.
On the Colorado squad which arrived in Kansas City yesterday are five Kansans, three of them making the starting line-up. Both guards played their high school basketball in this state, George Hamburg at Beloit and Bob Kirchner at Topeka. The other Kansan is the star of the team, Leason "Pete" McCloud of Newton.
Anothes Kansan who has made the starting lineup in half of the games this season is Barney Oldham of Hays. He has alternated with tonight's starter, Heath Nuckelos of Pueblo. At center is the recently named All-American, Bob Doll, six-foot five-inch transferred Californian now residing in Boulder.
Colorado has won 16 out of 18 games this season with their only losses being to the AAU Denver Legion team and the Wyoming Cowboy crew at Laramie. Besides their 12 conference engagements the Buffers tangled with their alumni in the opening game of the season and then embarked on a four-game Eastern road tour. Teams defeated were St. Joseph's, St. John's, St. Bonaventure, and Lovola.
Four Jayhawk Losses
Kansas has compiled a winning percentage of .750 since the season started with 16 wins out of 20 games. The four losses were to Iowa State, Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Oklahoma A. and M., and Oklahoma University.
In the preliminary game tonight the Stanford Indians will meet the Rice Owls. The winner of this game will then oppose the Colorado-Kansas winner at 9 o'clock tomorrow night in the finals to determine the representative of the Western Division for the tilt against the Eastern Division winner next Saturday in Kansas City for the NCAA championship of the nation.
Whether the Jayhawkers win or lose tonight they will still have another game on their schedule, that being tomorrow night. If Kansas loses, the game tomorrow night will have no bearing on the western representative but will merely act as a preliminary to the championship game and also close the season for the Jayhawkers.

The plays which are being learned
of course, that they continue to show favorably in fall practice.
Scrimmage to be Rugged
Henry and his staff are looking for players to fill the shoes of the men lost in graduation and to the armed forces. Fall practice gives comparatively short time to pick a team as the first eleven.
Weather,Basketball Slow Football Drill
Football practice got off to a slow start this week. Monday the practice field wet, the weather chilly and damp.
Tuesday, many of the men took time off to go to the K.U.- Oklahoma Aggie basketball game in Kansas City.
Spring practice is more strenuous than in the fall, because injuries resulting from scrimmage do not hurt the squad so much. In the fall when a player is injured in practice, it means that he may not be able to play in the games.

Henry Tries "T" Formation Henry is using the "T" formation and most of the backfield practice has consisted of running plays from the "T".
Good weather permitting, scrimage will start this week-end; from then on practice will be intense. The spring practice session lasts six weeks, so the coaches must make the most of their time.
The backfield men are not running the plays hard as yet. The coaches insists that the men get the plays timed right and that they watch their footwork before running the plays from scrimage.
Yesterday and Wednesday, however, there was perfect weather for the players to work out and a full squad was present for practice. Coach Henry divided the squad, having the lineemen practice blocking $ \textcircled{4} $

now are ones which will be used in games next fall. The coaches said the men who show the best in the spring practice are the ones who will see action next year, providing
"Survival of the fittest" will be the motto when scrimmage starts. By a process of elimination, Coach Henry expects to have a varsity eleven pretty well in mind by the time spring practice is over.
Engineering School To Grant 89 Degrees
Prof. J.O.Jones, assistant dean of the School of Engineering, has announced a list of 89 possible candidates for engineering degrees to be granted in June, 1942, or summer, 1942.
Included on the list are seven architects, one architectural engineer, 14 chemical engineers, 11 civil engineers, 15 electrical engineers, 29 mechanical engineers, six mineralogists and metallurgists, and six petroleum engineers.

The KANSAN Comments...
Concerning Atrocities
In the past few weeks the Hill has begun to buzz with stories of horrible atrocities committed by the Japanese on their captives.
Such tales as the chopping off of ears and removal of tongues in Jap prison camps are being passed around the campus from one student to another, probably getting a little more gruesome with each new telling.
Whenever a country goes to war, such stories immediately arise, for political leaders seem to think they are necessary to arouse the proper amount of hatred to make a nation fight.
Here in America, we have no further need for incitement to hatred for the Jap or German. We need nothing more than the memory of Pearl Harbor to remind us how wily and brutal our enemies can be. There should be no occasion to spread baseless and fantastic rumors of sadism and brutality.
No matter who tells us of these cruelties, we must remember that in the last war similar stories, which became widely believed, were afterward completely disproved or shown to be grossly exaggerated.
And remember, too, that the use of atrocity stories is one of Herr Hitler's favorite techniques.—C.R.R.
A Chicago girl has found a novel way to thwart thieves. She snubs them. When one entered the cleaning establishment where she works recently, she gave him the cold shoulder and he eventually left. Then this cold-blooded creature calmly took his license number.
The New Battlefront
With German forces on the defensive—a new and unique phase of the war—and with rumors of international dissension in high German circles, some Allied quarters are forecasting the collapse of the Nazi war machine.
It is a little early yet, to expect that the Reichsfuehrer, with 280-300 divisions and 6,-000-9,000 first-line planes at his disposal, will be forced to take only defensive action in the future. A new offensive may, in fact, be expected soon, because time no longer favors the Nazi war effort.
Where, then, may the Nazi strike and gain additional advantages while the Allies are still inferior in men and weapons?
From bases in Bulgaria and Greece, the enemy could strike through Turkey, thereby seizing the only outlet of the Black Sea. The Fussian Caucasus would be threatened from the rear, and the oil fields of Baku, Iraq, and Iran would be endangered. The way would then be open for a drive through Syria to the Suez Canal.
The advantages to be gained in this area are of considerable importance. The pressure on German forces both in the Ukraine and in Africa would be relieved. Control of immense reserves of petroleum would bolster the Axis. By gaining the Near East, the Axis would be able to exploit the limited agricultural production of Northeast Africa, and menace the Allied supply lines in the Indian Ocean.
Allied strategy now must be directed in such a way as to provide not only for defense, but ultimately for a major offensive action against the Nazi stronghold in Europe.
Heretofore the British have been compelled because of inferiority in numbers, to take only
defensive measures. They rushed contingents to Greece, Iraq, Syria, and Iran only when a Nazi threat was evident.
The time must come, if Nazi power is to be broken, when an Allied drive against the main Axis forces will be launched. The Near East and Africa will provide probably the best base for such a drive.—P.L.C.
Twelve white mice might well consider themselves slandered. A group of impressionable persons in Connecticut refused to open the box in which they were contained, because it ticked. In times of this kind, it is important that we watch ourselves, you know.

Congratulations, Clint, you look like a new man without those eight pounds.

Shack Mouse Wages Total War Reports Local Advance
Somewhere in the Newsroom, March 17.—(Delayed by Censor.)
Since October 24,1940,a day that will live in infamy so long as mice shall walk upon the earth,a state of war has existed between students in the department of journalism and a little gray mouse (or mice,nobody is sure.) For the most part, it has been a war of nerves,but at times battle has been joined. and the conflict has been violent.
Prior to the Day, a territorial dispute had been smoldering between the mice and the journalistic folk, and trouble was imminent. Then on a cold, clear morning, while the sun was streaming through the windows of 102 Journalism, a mouse ventured into the room on reconnaissance. Moving cautiously, the creature had nearly completed his survey when a member of the faculty (name withheld by censor) sighted him. Hastily calculating the range, this m. of the f. opened fire at five yards with a paper weight, catching the mouse squarely amidships with the first volley.
Furry Blitzkrieg
That night, a grim-visaged mouse crouched in some undisclosed place and planned for the long struggle ahead. He decided to strike quickly at a number of places before the students were fully mobilized.
Next day, while the journalists were gathered about the copy table preparing material for the paper, and eating their frugal meals of potato chips and lime cokes, one of the editors dropped a potato chip. He had just reached down to pick it off the floor when a gray form streaked by, smatched the chip out of his fingers, and disappeared. Pandemonium reigned.
Commando Raid
The next night, the mouse clambered into his Commando uniform, smeared his face with charcoal, crept into the desk of the editor-in-chief and created havoc among a pile of reference papers the editor was saving. From then on, the offensive was pressed with added vigor. The mouse would dart out of nowhere, frighten the society editor, and vanish. Attempts were made to trap him, but the crafty fellow would spring the traps and carry the bait off in triumphant procession. Another Dunkirk?
As usual, a Quisling enters the picture. Bribed by a slab of (name deleted by censor) cheese, the informer mouse revealed the whereabouts of the belligerent. The fighting mouse was trapped in a wastepaper basket, and students gathered about to hurl everything they could lay their hands on into the basket. For a moment there was silence, and the victors decided to pull the vanquished warrior out and bury him with military honors. So, they turned the basket on its side and the mouse scampered out and escaped despite a hail of missiles and profanity.
As we go to press, the Mouse High Command, in official communique No. 68, reports local advances along a sector referred to only as X.
And so the battle has raged. At one time it was rumored that the main body of journalists would retreat to Fowler shops and set up their government, leaving behind only a skeleton force, but official circles refused to comment.
To Star Bridge,
Ping Pong Contests
The deadline for entering either the ping pong or the bridge tournaments will be March 23, Bob Hodgson, intramural chairman of the Student Union Activities board has announced. All students interested in participating in either tournament should sign their names at the desk in the game room of the Union building on or before that date.

Notify High Schools Of Hall Scholarships
Notices have been mailed to every high school in Kansas of the availability of 156 men's residence hall scholarships for 1942-43, Gilbert C. Ulmer, associate dean of the College, and chairman of the men's residence halls appointment committee, announced today. The appointment to such a scholarship carries the privilege of living in one of the four dormitories maintained by the University.
Twelve residence hall scholarships are available at present, in addition to the openings that will come next year.
Worth $100 A Year
While there is no direct financial grant to the award, each scholarship is considered worth not less than $100, that amount being the estimated difference in cost between living in one of the halls and living in other quarters equally desirable accommodations. Last year, the first year of operation of the dormitories, what is believed to be a record for low cost housing for American University students was established on the Hill. The men have to maintain a high scholarship average to remain in the halls.
The average cost per man for the 118 students living in Battenfeld, Carruth and Templin halls, for the nine months' period covering the 1940-41 school year, was $140.10. This figure did not, of course, include any University fees or personal expenses, but was the total cost for board, room, light, heat, power, water, telephone, insurance, magazines and newspapers, house laundry, and salaries for the housemothers and proctors.
Do Own Cooking
This year, a fourth dormitory, Jolliffe hall, given to the University Endowment Association in which title
the dormitories is vested, by O. Sollipe, Feibae banker and cattleman. Since the Endowment Association owns the properties, rent is not a factor in living costs. The boys do all their own cooking. There is no maid service—the men doing all their own cleaning, bed-making, dishwashing, and all other tasks incident to comfortable living. The halls provide not only comfortable living accommodations, but are appointed as
well as any rooming quarters in the city.
The men thrive on their own cooking which is done according to the most scientific principles of the culinary arts. Daily weight charts kept during the first year of operation indicated an average weight increase of four and one-half pounds per man.
Book by Pratt Off K.U. Press
"Oil in the Earth" is the title of the new book by Wallace Pratt, director of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, which was recently published by the University press.
The book is an informative discussion of how and where oil occurs, how it is discovered, and how the possession of oil resources affects world affairs. It is written in a non-technical style and is especially important in view of present-day world affairs.
Fratt is a graduate of the University with the degrees of A.B., B.S., and E.M. For a number of years he was associated with the Bureau of Science, Philippine Islands, as a geologist and later as its chief. He was president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 1920, and in 1928 he became a director of the American Petroleum Institute.

Thayer Exhibits 50 Water Colors From New York
Fifty watercolor paintings done by students in the Pasons School of Applied Art, formerly known as the New York School of Fine and Applied Art, are now on exhibit in the north gallery of Spooner-Thayer museum. The exhibit will be up for two weeks.
The pictures represent the interiors of rooms in well-known houses in the United States, France, and Italy. Four pictures represent historic houses in this country. One is a drawing room in the House of Seven Gables in Salem, Mass. Others are the parlor in the Pierce-Knapp-Perry house in Newbridgeport, Mass. The Jerimiah Lee house in Marblehead, Mass., and a bedroom in the Miles Robertson home which is now the Oneida community house in New York.
Other pictures show the Newport and New York residences of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Mrs. Ward Cheney; the residence of Madame Schiaparelli in Paris; several Italian royal palaces; and the palace of Fontainbleu in France.
MacArthur Plans U.S. Offensive As Philippine Aid
By UNITED PRESS
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters, Australia, March 20—Gen Douglas MacArthur said today he had come here to organize an American offensive against Japan and that a primary purpose was to relieve the Philippines.
He made his statement "somewhere in Australia."
In a brief statement, every phrase of which was a fighting one, the hero of Batan Peninsula said:
It was the first public statement the new United Nations' supreme commander in the southwest Pacific had made since his arrival in Australia Tuesday.
President Orders It
"The President of the United States ordered me to break through the Japanese lines and proceed from Corregidor to Australia for the purpose, as I undestand it, of organizing an American offensive against Japan.
"I came from there and I shall return."
As MacArthur made his statement Prime Minister John Curtin said in a statement of his own, "We will take back what we have lost." He said Australia backs the pledge of MacArthur to the Philippines.

"A primary purpose behind this is the relief of the Philippines.
They had raided Darwin yesterday, reconnoitere dover Port Moresby and attacked Tulagi and Florida in the Solomon Islands as aerial warfare intensified in speed and fury all
Japanese war plauses lashed out in two new attacks on Port Moresby, 350 miles northeast of Australia, as their invasion forces drove through the interior of New Guinea toward it behind 'Nazi-trained native guides and German "missionary" aides.
Australia Voices Opinion
Aerial Cannons Roar
Four Japanese fighter planes used their cannon and machine guns against the airdrome areas until ground fire drove them off. In a second attack a Japanese heavy bomber made two runs over the Port Moresby area, dropping its bombs. It was asserted that in neither raid was damage or casualties caused.
High Allied officers revealed that American airplane crews were operating widely over the New Guinea invasion area, and praised them highly.
"We are trying to keep the Japanese from stabilizing their position in New Guinea," a spokesman said. "If we had a little more equipment we could do it."

War Labor Needed--in war industries, the labor spokesman said.
Talk of Placing Older Draftees in Industries
Washington, March 20—(UP) —The United States, like Great Britain, probably will have to enact legislation eventually for compulsory allocation of its manpower, labor authorities said today.
The question was raised by the presidential order for registration under the Selective Service act on April 27 of 13,000,000 men between 45 and 64 years of age, inclusive. These men are too old for military service but an occupational survey of them will uncover "hundreds of thousands of hidden skills needed
Many of the men who will register next month will be the fathers, even the grandfathers, of men whose order numbers were determined in the last three lotteries.
F.D.R. Need Not Register
President Roosevelt, who was 60 on his last birthday, is within the age group but will not register because he is commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
President Roosevelt's new registration order did not include 18 and 19-year-olds who, although included under the Selective Service law, are not liable for military service.
Selective service officials gave two possible explanations why the younger group was not ordered to register. First, that Roosevelt may plan to "catch" these men as they turn 20 in registrations to be held every January while the war lasts. The youngest men now eligible for the draft are those who were 20 on or before last Dec. 31. Second, that the younger group which totals about 2,500,000 may be registered later in the year after the older men have been listed and sent occupational questionnaires. This plan appeared most probable.
No Trouble So Far
Employment service officials reported that to date they had encountered little difficulty in supplying industrial needs on the basis of information obtained in this way, and from the reserves of local employ- agencies, all of which now are under its jurisdiction.
This has been accomplished by offering higher wages, by appealing to the workers' patriotism, by utilizing skilled workers laid off because of priorities in non-war industries, and, as a last resort, by threatening immediate induction into the army, officials said.
However, WPB now plans to bring
at least 10,000,000 new workers into war industries this year. There is some doubt already that this can be done without compulsory labor allocation, it was said, although a large number of these workers will be women.
"They've had legislative power of this sort in England since early in the war," an employment service spokesman said, "but they've had to use it only in a few thousand cases.
"Much more important right now is the fact that we have no single agency to decide who works and who rights. Without such an agency a real conflict is bound to develop between industry and the army as manpower becomes less plentiful."

Navy Plans Jayhawker Air Squadron
Word has been received from the naval aviation cadet selection board in Kansas City, Mo., that a Jayhawk squadron is being planned for the Naval Air corps.
NUMBER 108
The Naval selection headquarters say that officers will be on the University campus on Monday, March 23. Detailed information will be given to the Kansan and University officials by the officers at that time.
Naval officers will again visit the campus on Thursday, March 26. A meeting of all students interested in the plans for a Jayhawk squadron will be held in Fraser theater at 4:30.
(continued to page eight)
The Naval Air Corps hopes to enlist 75 men from the University. These men will all be assigned to one squadron and will be known as the "Jayhawker Squadron" of the Naval Air Corps.
Girl Reserve Training Opens Here Tomorrow
The Y.W.C.A. and the School of Education are sponsoring a Girl Reserve training course starting tomorrow for all junior and senior women who are interested in teaching, or in the group leadership of girls of high school age.
Registration for the course will be at Henley House or the education office, 103 Fraser, and meetings will be held in the Fine room of the Memorial Union building. After a satisfactory completion of the course, certificates will be presented each girl. Satisfactory completion of the course will include attendance at a minimum of six of the eight meetings.
Dr. R. A. Schwegler, dean of education, especially urges this training for all prospective women teachers, since there are so many instances during a teaching career in which there will be opportunities to display leadership among girls of high school age. This is especially true of leadership in the Girl Reserve clubs of the various high schools.
Tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. Miss Evelyn Von Hermann, secretary of the Rocky Mountain region of the Student Christian movement, will speak on the phases of a Girl Reserve program and how they meet the needs of a high school girl. Miss Esther Twente will lead the discussion March 26, concerning the relation of The Girl Reserve adviser and her groups to the community.

In Sing Today
With final rehearsals over and the last minute preparations made, ten women's houses will compete in the University Women's Sing at 3:30 this afternoon in Hoch auditorium.
Participating in the singing program are Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Corbin Hall, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa. Eeach group will sing one scorrit or house song, the "Alma Mater," and one song of its own choice. The order in which the groups will appear on the program has not been announced.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, will be the announcer for the program. Before the contest and while the judges are deciding upon the winners, Margaret Krehbiel, college junior, and Helen Cronemeyer, fine arts senior, will present organ music.
Two prizes are being offered in the contest. First place winner will receive a silver vase, and second place award will be a silver sandwich tray. Both prizes will be engraved with the date of the contest and the ranking of the winner.
An entry fee of $1 was charged for each group taking part in the contest. All song leaders are to meet on the stage of the auditorium at 2:45 this afternoon.
Seniors Must Have Pictures Taken Jim Surface, editor of the Jayhawker, asked that all seniors make arrangements with him and with the Lawrence Studio immediately for senior pictures.

Admittedly a skeptic as to the present and future of Europe, Roland Elliott, executive secretary of the National Council of Student Christian associations, will speak to students at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. His subject, logically enough, will be "A Skeptic Looks at Europe."
Elliott flew to Europe on the Atlantic Clipper Nov. 28, as an "observing representative" for Christian students and leaders of all parts of America. The journey was undertaken in response to cabled invitations from persons working for student relief in countries dominated by Germany.
"The food shortage," says Elliott, "is taking a toll in health, and the effects will be felt by many generations to come."
Elliott to Give Sceptics' View Of New Europe
Announcement of the cast of "Charley's Aunt," farce-comedy by Brandon Thomas which will be presented in Fraser theater, April 6, 7, and 10, was made yesterday by Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech and director of the play.
Cast in the role of the fake aunt, Lord Fancourt Babberly, is Ben Mantz, fine arts sophomore. In the part of Jack Chesney will be Bill Kelly, college junior; Bob Hutchinson, college freshman, will portray the character Charles Wykheham. Jack Chesney and Charles Wykheham are the two who force Babberly to disguise as the real aunt to keep from disappointing guests the two men have invited to luncheon.
The part of Kitty Verdun will be taken by Betty Rowton, college junior, and Amy Spettigue will be played by Gloria Goff, college freshman. Charley's real aunt, Donna Lucia Dalvadorez, will be taken by Edith Ann Fleming, college sophomore. Brassett, the butler, will be portrayed by Spencer Bayles, freshman in medicine.
Taking the role of Stephen Spettigue will be Dean Ostrum, college sophomore; Ray Helgesen, college sophomore, will appear in the play as Colonel Sir Francis Chesney. Dee Ellen Naylor, college sophomore, will take the role of Ela Delahav.
This farce-comedy by Thomas was first produced at the Royalty theater in London on December 21, 1892. The original London run of the play lasted four years, and since that time "Charley's Aunt" has been presented by both amateur and professional acting groups throughout the world.
Two seasons ago it was revived professionally in New York. It was produced in the movies again last year with Jack Benny in the role of the "Aunt." The University all-student production will be presented in the dress and spirit of the '90's when the play was written.
Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama, has designed the three sets for the play. He has been assisted in the construction of the scenes by his class in stagecraft.

Draft Exemptions For Students In Business
Juniors and seniors enrolled in business administration now can obtain almost immediate exemption from the draft, information received yesterday from the secretary of the National Conference of State University Schools of Business indicated.
Students with proper educational qualifications can obtain the exemptions by enlisting as probationary ensign in a new classification in the U. S. Naval Reserve, the DV(P) classification. Such students need not take an accelerated program of study unless they wish to do so. They have no special duties or requirements for training while in college; they receive no pay until they graduate; and they immediately enter the service upon graduation as an ensign at base pay of $1500, or with allowances, $182 a month.
This is a special service for business administration students. Their work will be in administration, probably on shore. Physical requirements are less than in other classifications, for example, 12-20 for eyes.
For further information, students should get in touch with the nearest district office of the U. S. Naval Reserve or the Director of Officer Procurement, U. S. Naval Reservy Washington, D. C.
Jayhawks allowed Rice to tie the score at 51 all with 2 minutes and 15 seconds left to be played.

The first half was a battle royal as the lead changed frequently, neither team attained more than a 4-point margin until the final three minutes when Rice jumped to a 27-21 lead as Chet Palmer, who led the game's scoring with a brilliant 25 points, hit two consecutive one-handed shots. At the half Rice held a 30-24 advantage.

Generally it means one of several things but usually to University men and women it means either lazy steak frys or country drives on balmy days. The war will have and is having its serious consequences on these small delights this year. With tires on the "NO" list, steak frys will either move closer to the campus or not exist and secondly bicycles will substitute for the once popular car drives.
Country Drives?
War or no war, the good cheer of spring is creeping up in many forms. Flowers and a gay campus manifest the vivid colors of the season. The most popular color is as always a bronze coat of tan. Already men and women are basking

250H.S.Students At Science Meet
In spite of the tire rationing program, 250 students from 35 high schools of Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska attended the physical science conference here yesterday.
Sponsored by the departments of physics, chemical engineering and chemistry, the conference was held to give the students an idea of the vocational and professional fields which the study of these sciences would open to them, of the part physics and
chemistry play in modern way and to offer suggestions to teachers for stimulating interest in these subjects among their students.
The program started in the morning with registration, which was held in Fraser hall. Following a lecture at 10:30 on the physics of mechanized warfare, given by J. D. Stranathan, professor of physics, the group met for luncheon in the Memorial Union building. After lunch, Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, posed the question "What Shall I Do After I Graduate?"
Give Lectures and Talks
While their charges were attending a 1:30 lecture in Bailey chemical laboratory on "Synthetic Rubber" by Ray Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, the high school instructors held roundtable discussions of their problems and methods of presenting their subjects to their students. The physics teachers met in Blake hall, and the chemists in the chemistry building.
At 2:30, the chemists and physicists separated to hear talks related to their respective fields: "Super Fuels for Super Planes" by T. T. Castonguay, instructor in the department of chemical engineering, in the lecture room in Bailey hall for the chemistry students; and "Energy From Inside the Atoms" by H. H. Barschall, instructor of physics, in Fraser hall for the physics students.
From 3:30 to 5:00 o'clock, the confeerees relaxed in the chemical engineering laboratory in the chemistry building.
Laboratory demonstrations and exhibits were displayed between one and five o'clock in the physics and chemistry building. Mimeographed sheets explaining these exhibits and giving their location were handed to the students at the registration desk. From 3:30'till 5:00'o'clock, the conferees relaxed in the chemical engineering laboratory in Bailey while refreshments were served.

Rich spoke to Hill students Wednesday afternoon in Fraser theater on "An Adventure in Biography." Thursday noon he was entertained at a luncheon in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building by members of the journalism faculty. Those present at the luncheon were K. W. Davidson, Elmer F. Beth Richard Boyce, and T. C. Ryther.

Mattern ★★★ Prof's Paints Please
Paintings by Karl Matter, associate professor of drawing and painting, which are now on exhibition at the Macbeth galleries in New York, have made favorable impressions on art critics covering the exhibition.

It should also be remembered that it is ill-mannered to ask a Navajo his name, and after a pleasant chat or visit, the traveler should feel no concern if he receives no farewell from the Indian. The Navajo never says goodbye.
When Navajos go to pay a call on a neighbor, they announce themselves as they approach the house by singing a "visiting" song. But, say the experts, you mustn't stick your head out the door to see who is coming—that would be impolite.
When entering an Indian's house or hogan, the visitor should remember that it is impolite to pass on the north side of the fire which burns in the middle of the hogan.

Possibilities for such adventurous opportunities reeled forth to University students after Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, received a letter from S. J. Baiano, talent scout for Warner Brothers pictures. Planning a trip through the Middle West in April, Baiano is scrutinizing the country for "new faces."
Baiano also suggests that the candidates have "some acting ability." Just how much is needed is not stated, but it looks as if the movies were going to have to resort to real educated actors after all. Maybe the
The letter said Hollywood is "looking for potential leading men and women. This means that they must be photogenic and should have some sort of romantic appeal." Now you may not have "oomph" or that "come-hither look" but Hollywood is the land of the million miracles, and "some sort" can mean most anything.

his voice changed from tenor to second tenor, baritone and bass!
But, when he left college, Fred formed a "pro" glee club, consisting of members of his band, which was the first of the kind ever heard on stage, records or radio. This is considered Waring's most distinguished contribution to popular music. Through the years he evolved a glee club technique, the "tone syllable" method, founded on common sense and an absence of jingo, which is respected by college glee clubs and other amateur and professional groups.

idea of beauty and no brains is undergoing a revolution.
If you're one of the ones who tried, but couldn't get into the K.U. Men's Glee Club, now preparing for Fred Waring's Pleasure Time National Glee Club competition, you can take consolation from the fact that Fred himself once tried for—and failed to "make"—the glee club at his alma mater, Penn State. This in spite of the fact that he had sung in the Tyrone (Pa.) high school glee club throughout the four years, switching as

Sgt. William Kollender, department of military science and tactics, was in Fort Leavenworth on business Saturday.
The studio has no intention of cutting short the education of the students, Baiano explains. Perhaps he means that Hollywood is an education in itself, but he writes that Warner Brothers are interested in "watching the development of promising students and facilitating their later establishment professionally."
The talent scout advises Professor Crafton to send photographs and statements of acting ability to Hollywood so that Baiano will have some definite candidates in mind. Professor Crafton said he will send pictures of students interested if they get in touch with him immediately.
"Look at those legs, nice profile, rhythmic walk," were the expressions Professor Crafton used to relate the remarks of a talent scout who visited the Hill several years ago. A line of K. U. pulchritude paraded before the eyes of the Hollywood "mechanical eye" as his mind cast each candidate into the arms of a professional lover, into a roaring plane in a sky-blazing picture, or in a fantasy of a Disney special.
So practice your love speeches, on acquire a dashing air, because Hollywood is hitting the Hill.

POLLARD BEST PLAYER ON FLOOR
Game Notes: Of the four teams that played Friday night Stanford was easily the class of the group. What the Indians could do with Don Burness, their co-captain all-conference forward, in the line-up is purely speculative but it seems certain that they could walk through the play-offs in easy style. The weakness of the fifth man in the Indian line-up was emphasized when Jack Dana, the substitute forward, shot nine times and failed to connect for a single goal. His substitute, Fred Linari, was even worse as he repeatedly threw the ball away on wild passes and was an extremely poor offensive threat.
In Jim Pollard the Indians have one of the flashiest players that has ever performed in the midwest. The publicity dope which was sent out concerning Pollard claimed that Pollard was capable of being another Hank Luisetti. From his performance Friday night Pollard rated the nod as the best player on the floor. On defense he was steady and dependable and on offense he was absolutely sparkling. He never took a single unnecessary shot and his teamwork and passing was of the best.
For Rice Chet Palmer was the outstanding player. He had a sweet-looking one-handed shot from out far and was the key man in setting up Rice plays. Bob Kinney, the All-American center, played much under par. Possible explanation for this was a sever charley-horse which he had on his right leg. Also when he got three fouls early in the game his style of play was slowed down considerably. Bill Closs, junior forward, played in spurts. At times he was outstanding with his hook shots and rebound work and then he would drop his standard and perform like an average player.
In the Kansas-Colorado game four players clearly stood out above the rest. Charlie Black and Ray Evans make the Jayhawkers a constant threat while Leason Boudreau and George Hamburg paced the Buffalo attack. Black equipped his early season performance against Oklahoma by Doll and Huggins to foul out besides tallying 18 points and performing an excellent job on rebounds. Evans played his usual driving game and also came through in the clutch twice to put Kansas back in the ball game after Colorado had spurted to gain a short lead.
the ball game after McCloud lived up to his press notices as he came through with six buckets in the first half which provided the main Buff offense in the open period. In which half, as Evans changed his style of guarding, the New York fish was held to two goals but continued his clever floor game and provided a menacing offensive threat constantly. Hamburg was the key man in the Colorado offense and whenever the Jayhawk defense tightened the former Beloit star would bang away from far out to split the K. U. defense.
On the basis of the two semi-final games a flashy all-star could be formed that would compare favorably with any outfit in the country. At forwards would be Pollard and McCloud, Black at center, and Palmer and Hamburg at guards with Evans being the first alternate.
Status Quo of Grid Rules To Be Kept During War
There will very likely be no further rule changes in football for the duration of the emergency, George F. Veenker, Iowa State director of athletics and fifth district representative on the national football rules committee, has announced.
"The game of football as such," Veenker explained, "means nothing for the duration. But the game of football as a means of conditioning and training men for the armed services is all important. For that reason the rules committee has made as few changes in the rules as possible and probably will make no more till the war is over." The rules committee, in public change, felt that all playe titled to a clear on the line of Illlarged
The committee, he said, was opposed to any rules changes and intends only to clarify rules which caused argument last year. One of the most important changes, Veenker feels, was the abolishing the old offside rule whereby officials could call both teams offline.
Under the new interpretation the head linesman must now call one team offside "unless both actually charge simultaneously." Spectators are not likely to notice this particular enforcement, but the head linesman no longer will have an easy way out when the offside penalty comes up.
The committee clarified the position of the center's feet by saying his feet must be on side. Several centers, especially those working in the "T" formation, obscured the ball by placing the foot alongside the ball
Illegal delay of the game in the final two minutes also brought about clarifications. The rule now says that when the three time-outs have been used and a team on the offense substitutes, the watch shall start when the substitution has been completed.
Another major change was clarifying the rule on "sleeper" plays. Where a sleeper play occurs as a result of substitutions, the play will be called back and not allowed.
When a team on the defense substitutes or calls time out, the watch shall start at the snap of the ball. In this way, the committee felt, the officials could prevent either team's trying to delay the game.
One of the minor clarifications, Veenker said, was the use of colored footballs for night games. The rule now permits the use of a white or colored ball with two black stripes.
Buffs Weather K.U. Rally
Colorado's Golden Buns doused the Kansas Jayhawk's title hopes 46-44 in capacity-packed Municipal auditorium of Kansas City Friday night by weathering a determined last half Kansas rally. Stanford nosed out Rice Institute 53-47 in the opener of the Western NCAA playoffs.
The Jays jumped to a 4-0 lead in the opening minutes of the game, and after five minutes of play Kansas still led 8-3. Colorado, steadying itself to a methodical game, tied the score at 10-all with ten minutes elapsed in the first period.
With Leason "Pete" McCloud, George Hamburg, and Bob Doll leading the way, the Buffalooes ran wild in the final five minutes of the first half to give Colorado a 27-20 intermission advantage.
It was a fighting bunch of Jay-hawkers who returned in the second half to put the clamps on Colorado's big guns long enough for the Allenmen to draw even with the Buffs. Kansas had tied the score after seven minutes of the last half had elapsed.
Weakened by the loss of its star center, Doll, early in the last period, Colorado battled on even terms with Kansas once the score was tied. In the waning seconds of the see-saw final ten minutes, the Buffalooes converted two fouls to shade "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers at the final gun.

his 17-point game last Tuesday against the Oklahoma Aggies, Kansas scoring burden was shouldered by sophomore Charley Black. Using his rebounding ability and a pivot shot, Black poured six field goals through the basket and gathered six more tallies from the free throw line.
The Jayhawker's Ray Evans had difficulty in guarding the polished pivot and one-handed shots of Colorado's McCloud, leading scorer of the Big Seven conference, but he kept Kansas in the game when the going got rough with five field goals.
McCloud was easily the class of the Colorado scorers with eight field goals and three free throws. Doll, voted the outstanding player in the sports writers metropolitan tournament two years ago, showed splurges of scoring; he was benched at the start of the second half on fouls.
Gangly George Hamburg covered Miller of Kansas like a blanket; he was selected all-conference guard for the second time this year. His long set shots gave the Buffs points

Stanford's great height proved too much for a plucky Rice five which literally ran circles around the towering Indians. The Owls got off to an early lead, but Jim Pollard, Stanford sophomore who led Pacific conference scoring this season, soon found the range to give the Indians a 33-21 halftime advantage.
Rice returned after intermission to carry the game to the Indians. With Placido Gomez stealing the ball from the Stanford players and with Bob Kinney out-rebounding the taller Indians, Rice went into a brief lead, 41-37, with Harold Lambert and Kinney pouring in goals.
After the Pacific coast champions had forged into a 47-45 advantage with only minutes to go, Bill Closs and Kinney of the Owls were waved to the bench on fouls. The Indians then stalled their shorter rivals to close the game.

Spring Gridsters Start Heavy Scrimmage Monday
Two weeks of spring football practice have passed and the men are looking forward to scrimmage work which starts next week.
Very little scrimmaging has been done by the squad so far. Most of the practice periods have been spent in learning plays and in passing.
Paul Hardman, end, reported for practice last Thursday and Gene Long, guard, is now in a suit after having a siege of the "flu."
Thursday's practice started with the whole squad limbering up in a passing drill. Then Coach Henry turned over the line men to coach Hurt for blocking practice.
The backs have been working on a lot of "spot" passes. Bill Palmer, Harlan Altman, Hoyt Baker, Gene Roberts, Kenny Thompson and John Conley have all been showing ability in their passing.
Football Teams Tougher Next Year
Otto Schnellbacher and Bill Brill
Many college grid coaches are gloomy as to football prospects next year thanks to enlistment of players in the country's armed forces, but Vic Hurt, Kansas line coach, thinks otherwise.
Hurt looks for more rugged games on the gridiron next fall. "Since young America is in a fighting mood," he said, "due to present war conditions, I expect that football next year will be just a little tougher and probably a little rougher."
Hurt believes that football squads will be larger next year owing to the government's plan of universal physical conditioning to prepare the nation for war tasks.
"Calisthenics are good," Hurt observed, "but competitive sports not only build muscles but also develop leadership, quick thinking, and spirit, all of which are vitally important in combat."

have been looking good in snagging passes from their end positions.
Coach Henry had planned to start scrimmage last week, but bad weather early in the week did not permit good practice and the basketball tournament in Kansas City held down attendance.
With basketball season over, Ray Evans, halfback, will check out for practice soon.
Intensive drill on "T" formation plays has been the main activity for the backfield men so far.
Next Friday, the coaches intend to have a regular game played between two teams picked from the squad. Each Friday the squad will be divided and a game will be played under game conditions with officials.
Womens Deck Tennis Champs Will Be Decided Tuesday
The finals for women's deck tennis will be held in Robinson gymnasium on Tuesday, March 24.

Pi Beta Phi is the winner of Division II and the Independents hold the Division III title.
The champions of Divisions I and II will compete and the winner of that game will play the Independent team for the all-University championship.

Brains vs Brawn ★★★ Coach Thrown
New York, —(UP)— Joe Sapora, bachelor of science and master of arts, is being dropped as wrestling coach of the College of the City of New York because he isn't a doctor of philosophy, and he doesn't like it. He said that he was a victim of faculty politics.
As a matter of fact, he said, if the College would wait a few months, he would have a doctorate of philosophy, inasmuch as he was well advanced in his studies for one. And in all his pursuit of knowledge he added, he had never learned why a Ph.D. was necessary to teach undergraduate musclemen the science of the hammer-lock, the scissor-grips and the half-nelson.
His assistant, Norman Oberhofer, who has been a tutor at City College for 11 years, also is being dropped because he isn't a Ph. D. Oberhofer also is studying toward a doctorate of philosophy. "I don't know what a doctorate of philosophy has got to do with wrestling," he said.
In the practical application of the science of wrestling Sapora has been imminently successful. At the University of Illinois, from which he was graduated in 1930, he was national intercollegiate wrestling champion. He came to New York 10 years ago to work for City College and for several years was national A.A.U. champion.
He has turned out many successful squads as coach. This year's team won seven of eight matches.
The decision to fire Sapora came after officials had discovered a by-law in the statutes of the board of higher education making it mandatory for all tutors to be doctors of philosophy after five years. Although the by-law was passed in

1938, it made no provision for those already in the school system.
Sapora also is an instructor in physical education, but he saw no reason why that should require a Ph.D., considering his other qualifications.
Students were making speeches and circulating petitions against his dismissal.

The KANSAN Comments...
REASONS FOR LACK OF SOLIDARITY
All attempts by the United States at PanAmerican war solidarity have thus far been frustrated by Argentina's reluctance to cooperate with us against the Axis.
Argentina, second only in size and population to Brazil in South America, may well be considered the keystone of the Pan-American defense bloc. All other nations of the Americas have reached concordance concerning action against the Axis powers; but without Argentina's help, the whole structure is next to useless.
Argentina has many reasons for wanting to demur in taking action against Germany or Italy. Not the least of these motives for an adamant attitude toward Pan-American solidarity is Argentina's hearty dislike for the United States. We Americans have forgotten the Spanish-American war, but it still rankles the minds of Argentine Latins who favored the Spanish.
Nor can the people forget the Yankee dollar diplomacy which flourished in South America at the turn of the twentieth century. They still remember our high handed methods of bullying Colombia out of a strip across the Isthmus so we might dig a big ditch. To add injury to insult, the United States embodied in a tariff act of 1930 a quarantine against fresh beef as well as a duty of six cents a pound on any beef.
In Argentina, beef is king; for beef the world over, Argentina is king. This tariff enactment hit both at the Argentine estanchero's pride and pocketbook. However, it was necessary that the United States prevent the importation of beef to stamp out a highly contagious disease which is destructive to cattle, sheep, and hogs. Even our government's buying of Argentine beef for the United States Navy failed to assuage Latin tempers; but, it worked miracles in arousing agrarian displeasure in the Middle West.
Argentina has remained aloof of aiding the Americans and British against Hitler, because she is dubious of the United States navy's ability to defend her should Germany attack. The naval showing of the United Nations against the Nipponese has done nothing to allay these fears. Argentina would rather remain neutral—not bet at all—than to bet on the losing horse.
Today in Argentina there are 60,000 Germans from the fatherland and 135,000 Argentine-born Germans. They are completely instilled with the Nazi doctrines; Germany spends $3,000,000 annually on propaganda in Argentina. There are 3,000,000 persons of Italian blood in Argentina, but they aren't nearly so indoctrinated with Fascist principles as are the Germans with Nazism. At present, Argentina's "Dies Committee" is challenging Nazi power there by weeding out Axis agents. Recently, Argentina has shown more friendliness toward the United States.
Change of the Argentine attitude is reflected in last week's election. Members of President Ramon Castillo's Conservative Concordancia will fill most of the 85 (out of 158) seats which were up for election. This is the green signal for Castillo, who favors a break with the Axis. In 1940 the United States lent Argentina $110,-000,000; last week we realized the first dividends on the investment.-A.H.
INDIFFERENCE IN ITALY
Before America entered the war, much attention was given to the fact that Germany was troubled by the discontent and uprisings which
occurred in her occupied countries. Discontent of this sort is of major importance to the morale of the whole German army and civilian population.
Now there appear from time to time evidences of defeatism in Italy, Germany's quaking ally.
Although the Italian people readily accepted Japan's entrance into the war, they were rather quiet about the announcement that the United States had also entered the war. Their acceptance of the fact was so silent as to be almost indifferent, and Mussolini found it necessary in a speech given shortly therafter to emphasize (as only Mussolini can emphasize) the necessity of hatred of the enemies. He said, "We cannot fight unless we hate the enemy!"
Many interpret this speech to imply a lack of fighting spirit among the people, who seem to have not too much faith in the cause and can see little compensation for their losses.
Grumblings against restrictions find expression in many violations of rationing laws. Last September, 7,544 cases of hoarding and boot-legging of food products were discovered. City and town officials are finding it increasingly difficult to enforce the curfew law (10 o'clock) which law was made to save on rubber; electricity, and so on. The nobility is becoming more and more troubled by added taxes on their class and the prospects are that they will be increased even more. The outlook on the food distribution problem is also becoming more serious.
Thus, there is developing in Italy a distinct feeling against the war and it seems that efforts of the officials to stop it are futile. The significance of this unrest is easily seen—its full importance can be seen only in the future. M.O.

Falling in with the conservation program, a faction of men at Battenfeld Hall are moving to conserve space in their living room on weekend nights. There is a bill being lobbed to prohibit stags or lone wolves from settling down to a quiet evening in the living room, and staring over the corner of the newspaper at "them who has dates."

In order to go to Kansas City last Tuesday for the Oklahoma A. and M. game, Doris Twente have to liquidate the penny bank which she and Medic Bob Hagen have been building up for many months. She left a plentiful trail of pennies all over Kansas City, was a bottleneck on Kansas City streetcars, and when she painstakingly extracted 85 pennies to pay for her ticket to the game, the ticket man looked at her wonderingly and sympatized, "Gosh, lady, you must have been looking forward to this game for years!"
Brunt of the latest Phi Psi practical joke is Dean Sims, who was wakened from his sleep one morning by a contingent of his brothers, all noisily excited. They informed him that his parents had called long distance to say that his draft number had been called, and that he was to report to his draft board plenty pronto. After realizing that the story had a phony flavor, Sims decided to play along with the boys, rather than spoil their fun. So he jumped out of bed, threw a toothbrush into a bag, and started out the front door in his pajamas, before the gag was called off.

"Inside Benchley" Sure Cure for the Doldrums

ters of Goethe, and advice on how to take children on a tour of a museum among the features tossed in for good measure.
As a writer of light satire, Bob Benchley is almost tops in his field. In this latest opus, he satires everything from true detective stories to Wagnerian opera, with essays on the low state of whippet racing, the love let-
Signs of the Times
The American reading public will probably be offered more and more light reading of the Benchley school during the duration, as a means of temporary mental escape from the current unpleasantness. Books of this type will be short, because even the best humor writers have a technique that wears a trifle threadbare around page 250.
Funniest chapter in the book is "Family Life in America," a burlesque on the super-sordid school of fiction. To quote the author, "The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true of life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest."
Of special interest to college folk should be the chapter on "What College Did to Me?" Mr. B's schedule, under a so-called elective system, included such broaden courses as "The Social Life of the Minor Sixteenth Century Poets; History and Appreciation of the Clavichord; and Doric Columns—Their Uses, History, and various Heights. Benchley emerges from his freshman courses with a deep and undying knowledge that it is almost impossible to fill an inside straight.
Author Benchley's finest attribute is his ability to handle reductio ad absurdum without being vicious. He is a pure humorist, not a reformer trying to abolish an evil or end an unjust system by devastating sarcasm.
Higher Education
Another bright spot in the book is the chapter on the history of tennis, which includes the following passage: "This fascinating historical survey of tennis goes on to say that in the reign of Henry IV the game was so popular that it was said that "there were more tennis-players in Paris than drunkards in England. The Drunkards of England were so upset by this boast that they immediately started a drive for membership with the slogan 'Five thousand more drunkards by April 15, and to hell with France!' One thing led to another until war was declared."
So, for 316 pages of fun, read "Inside Benchley," Harper & Bros., 1942.
Business Machine Corporation Wants Trained Women
Senior University women who have some knowledge of business, bookkeeping, and accounting are being sought by the International Business Machine corporation to be trained in operating their machines.
The manager of the corporation will be in Lawrence Tuesday to interview those interested in the work as a career. Miss Marie Miller, assistant to the dean of women, asks that all women interested call her before Tuesday. Miss Miller emphasized that the women must be spring graduates with business training and good personality.

While in school here, White, now a captain in the Marine Corps, was a Summerfield scholar and an honor man in R.O.T.C., and upon graduation was awarded the highest honor in architecture, medal of the American Institute of Architects for the best record during a four-years' course. Soon after graduation, he left his home in Norton to take an officer's training course in Philadelphia, and was then transferred to the western division.

White To Speak On Fraternities
The difference between fraternity life in the pre-Gay Nineties and at present, as seen by William Allen White, will be the feature of the Inter-fraternity Council's fifth annual regional conference which convenes on the University campus next Friday and Saturday.
White, the famous editor of the Emporia Gazette, was an early fraternity man of the University campus, being initiated into Phi Delta Theta in 1887. He will speak at the conference banquet Friday evening
The Midwestern District includes the councils of 21 universities and colleges in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and Missouri. All 21 schools have organizations associated with the national Inter-Fraternity Council.
Other scheduled speakers include: Paul C. Beam, Oxford, Ohio, executive secretary of Phi Delta Theta, who will discuss ways in which the fraternity can best fortify itself during the war emergency; John R. Richards, secretary of fraternity affairs, University of Oklahoma, whose subject will be "Inter-Fraternity Councils — Constitutions, Organization, and Powers;" and C. H. Freeark, Boulder, Colo., head of Fraternity Management Inc., who will speak on "Cooperative Buying Among Fraternities."
Local speakers include F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law; Harry W. O'Kane, secretary of the University Y.M.C.A., Henry Werner, men's student advisor; K. W. Davidson, director of information; and Edward E. Brush, professor of aeronautics.
Dave Frager, Phi Delta Theta and president of the local Inter-Fraternity Council, is general chairman of the conference.
Awards Go To Twelve
The music talent audition sponsored by the Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs for the second district was held Friday afternoon in the auditorium of Frank Strong Hall. Twelve musicians from Fort Scott, Ottawa, Pleasanton, Garden City, Great Bend, and Lawrence took part in the contest.
Carol Graham was awarded a certificate of merit and Rosalie Martin a certificate of advancement and a $10 prize in piano. Tom Branch, Jr., and Joan Potter were granted "credit slips" permitting them to compete next year.
In voice Mildred Kells received a certificate of merit, Norma Antone and Bill Boys, certificates of progress and $5 each, Preston Eugene Brecheisen and Patricia Pillar, certificates of advancement and $10 each.
In violin Nancy Lou Williams was granted a certificate of merit, Patricia Morris, a certificate of progress and $$, and Pauline Reade, a certificate of advancement and $10.
Chairman of the second district in charge of the auditions was Mrs. L. M. Whiteford of Lawrence. Allie Merle Conger and Alice Moncrieff acted as judges for piano and voice selections, while Dean Donald M. Starthout acted as judge of vision and general judge for all events.
GIRL RESERVE
(continued from page one) ment of the adolescent girl affects her personality.
Every girl taking the course is invited to attend the meetings of the Girl Reserves at Liberty Memorial high school which meet every Thursday morning from 10:30 to 11:00. Particularly girls who have never belonged to a Girl Reserve group should take advantage of this opportunity.
Girls who desire to enter the course may do so by coming to the first meeting whether they are registered or not.
ELLIOTT GIVES—

Things didn't work so smoothly when Elliott was ready to return to America. After a long and complex trip to Lisbon by slow train, he had to "cut several miles of red tape" before catching a plane home.
The lecture-discussion was originally announced as "Fost-War Reconstruction," but was changed to the present program to conform more closely with Elliott's European experiences.
The meeting, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., is open to the public.

Band In Spring Concert
THE MUSIC BOARD OF HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR AND SENIOR BANDS AT THE 1930'S CIRCLE CONVENTION.
The University band, under the direction of Russell L. Wiley, will app ear at 8:15 tomorrow night in Hoch.
The University band will present its annual spring concert at 8 o'clock tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
The band, under the direction of Russell Wiley, will open the concert with "Wotan's Farewell" and "Magic Fire Music" from the "Valkyrie" by Richard Wagner.
Dean Brooks will play a trombone solo, "The Lost Chord" by Arthur Sullivan.
The band will play as its second number the suite from the opera "The Bartered Bride." The suite is in three parts; first, the village scene and love duet; second, Jenik's aria and the dance of the villagers; and third, the march of the comedians, the leasing duet and the dance.
Herbert Mueller, fine arts sophomore, will play a cornet solo from
a group of Hungarian melodies by Vincent Bach.
The band will then play the "Roumanian Rhapsody No. 1" by Georges Enesco. This number concludes the first part of the concert.
Patriotism Leoms High
The second part of the concert opens with "America" played by the band and narrated by Daniel Bachman, college freshman. "Angels of Mercy," written for the American Red Cross by Irving Berlin, will be the band's second number.
Clayton Krehbiel, fine arts sophomore, and Herbert Mueller will play the solo parts in the Kent-Burton arrangement of "There'll Be Blue Birds Over the White Cliffs of Dover."
The band then plays "Roses of Picardy" by Haydn Wood, featuring
Robert Cater, fine arts sophomore, in the solo. "God Save America, a manuscript by W. Otto Miessner, professor of education, comes as the next-to-the-last number in the second part of the concert. Twirling Exhibition
An exhibition of Zouave gun spinning and rifle twirling, from the Russian Cossacks, will be demonstrated by Bill Sears, fine arts sophomore, and George Rhoades, college junior.
Part three of the concert is made up of "An American Rhapsody" by Haydn Wood; a group of variations on the theme of "Pop! Goes the Weasel" as arranged by Lucien Cailliet; the "Cowboy Rhapsody" by Morton Gould; and the "Berceuse" and "Finale" from the "Firebird" by Igor Stravinsky.

Frat Meet Will Bring 70 to Hill
Seventy delegates from nine midwestern states are expected to attend the Regional Inter-Fraternity conference to be held here this weekend, Dave Prager, chairman of the Hill Inter-fraternity council, said today.
Registration of delegates will begin at 10 o'clock Friday morning. Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law and Paul C. Beam will address

Easter Vacation Definitely Out
According to the University wartime schedule, passed by the University Senate Committee at the outbreak of the current hostilities, there will be no Easter vacation.
This, plus the one-day speed-up of registration and enrollment at the beginning of the present semester, and the one-day shortening of the approaching week of finals, will enable final examinations to begin May 22 and end on May 28.
Students May Blitz Yellow Danger Dandelions May Suffer Attack
The question of another Dandelion Day similar to that held last spring is now in the hands of the students after Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, remarked today that the administration will probably allow the celebration if enough student interest is shown. This interest might be demonstrated through the student councils, Nichols pointed out.
Lou Randall and Bob Holmer for pulling the most of the little yellow weeds.
In a letter to the Daily Kansan, published April 24, Charles Wright, who served as field marshall of the diggers, and Bill Farmer, then M.S.C. president, wrote: "The day was an experiment in sense that it was the first of its kind ever held on the campus; however, not the last time it will be held. There were several details that were not foreseen that will be realized when the day is run off next year."
Army,Navy Open Sky to Jayhawks
In view of the success of the first Dandelion Day, and the fact that Easter vacation has been canceled this year, it can be expected that students will be in favor of the weed-pulling holiday.
As yet, the projected event has not advanced beyond the discussion stage. Last year's plans were arranged early in March, and the date set for April 2, but unfortunate weather conditions required postponement until April 23.
In addition to actual digging, in which 3,400 students piled up a mound of 93,000 pounds of dandelions, rocks, dirt, and, legend has it, one live Theta who was discovered in a sack by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, a carnival complete with greased pigs, dart games, and side shows, took place in the afternoon. Prizes were awarded to teams captained by Mary
Army Will Train Here
'In order to man our ever-in- (continued to page eight)
In his letter to the University officials outlining the necessity for such a training program for aviation cadets, General Yount stated: Planes Require Men
Plans for a pre-training program for aviation cadets to be held at the University June 2 to September 11, to prepare men for training in the U. S. army air corps, and designed especially for those unable to complete a 4-year college course, were announced today by University officials.
The special curriculum has been planned from a schedule proposed by Gen. Barton K. Yount, commanding officer of the army air corps flying training command.
To Study 15 Weeks
The training will occupy a 15-week summer program. Young men who are eligible for regular admission to the University and who have had elementary high school algebra and plane geometry are eligible for the course.
The program is not recommended for students who plan to complete a 4-year college course before entering service. The credits obtained in the special summer training curriculum may, however, be applied toward a degree if the student later decided to enter the University for further work.
Navy Plans K.U.Squad
Hill students will have an opportunity to attend a brief program at 4 p.m. Thursday in Fraser theater and sound movies depicting flight training in the United States Navy. The program is under the direction of Lieut. G. G. Price, senior member of the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection board in Kansas City, Mo.
Lieutenant Price bears the wings of a Naval aviator. He completed his training at tPensacola in 1930, and has served in the fleet, as an instructor at Pensacola, and was a pilot for American Airlines.
The Navy is organizing a flying squadron composed of University students which will be known as the "Flying Jayhawk Squadron." This group is comparable to the Missouri "Tigers," a squadron which completed training several months ago.
While the movies will be of general interest to everyone, they will be of particular value to those who are anxious to serve their country and who desire more information before choosing a branch of the armed forces.
The annual Women's Self-Governing Association election will take place Thursday in the basement of Frank Strong hall. Pell's will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The "Flying Jayhawks," as the new squadron will be known, will receive their basic training in the midwest before being transferred to either Pensacola or Corpus Christi for their advanced work. The squadron will bear the insignia of their Alma Mater, and those who join will be deferred until June so that they may complete this academic year.
To Meet Candidates AtWSGAElectionTea
n order to acquaint Hill women with the candidates, an election tea will be held rfm 3 to 5 p.m. tomorrow in the men's Lounge of the Memorial Union building. At the tea the candidates will be introduced to all women attending.
Speech Festival Here Friday
High school students from all over the state will meet here Friday and Saturday for the annual speech and drama festival sponsored by the department of speech and drama with the co-operation of the extension division. About 35 class A, class B, and class C high schools are expected to participate.

Signal Corps Officers Here To Get Men
Lieut. F. A. Zimmerman of the Army Signal Corps will speak to physics and electrical engineering students Friday about enlisting and receiving officers' commissions in the communications branch of the ground forces, J. D. Stranathan, professor of physics, announced today. The meeting will be at 9:30 a.m. in the engineering assembly room, Marvin hall, and during the rest of the day Lieutenant Zimmerman will be available for individual conferences with interested students.
Appointments for individual conferences are to be made in Dean J. J Jakosky's office in room 113, Marvin hall.
Students with the needed aptitudes and interest will be granted deferment until graduation. In practice, this program is quite similar to V-7 of the Naval Reserve and will require that applicants take certain courses in preparation for the commissions.
Further information concerning the program can be obtained from V. P Hessler, professor of electrical engineering or Professor Stranathan.
Juniors and seniors in the School of Business are eligible for enlistment in the new Naval Reserve classification, DV(P), the secretary of the National Conference of State University Schools of Business has announced.
Navy Program For Business Students Opens
F. T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, explained today that information received so far does not specify what divisions of the business school would be eligible, but he believes that all business school students would be accepted in the program.
For further information, students could get in touch with the Kansas City, Mo., recruiting office of the U. S. Naval Reserve or the director of officer procurement, U. S. Naval Reserve, Washington, D. C.
Students with proper educational requirements may enlist as probationary ensigns in the Naval Reserve. An accelerated program of study will not be necessary unless the student wishes to speed up his program in school.
No special duties or requirements for training while in college will be expected of the student, and he receives no pay until he has completed school and graduated. He then goes immediately into the service as an ensign at base pay of $1500, or, with allowances, $182 a month. Work will probably consist of business administration on shore.
Physical requirements are less than in other classifications, for example. 12-20 for eyes.
Pullman Honors Marines
Chicago — (UP) — A pullman car, which will leave Chicago shops early in March, will be named "Wake Island," in honor of the U.S. Marines' heroic defense of the island.
I.S.A. Parades Fashions
Easter Preview
Campus Queens
Twenty-eight models will promenade across the terrace garden setting to the music of Russ Chamber's orchestra and the soprano voice of June Hammett, fine arts junior, at the fashion show sponsored by the Independent Student's Association at 7 o'clock Thursday evening in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.
Based on John Whitcomb's article in a current popular magazine, titled, "The Girl I'd Like to Marry," the 45 minute fashion show, the third sponsored by I.S.A., will feature what the queens of the campus will
be wearing during the spring season.
A special preview of the Easter Parade, the show, given in cooperation with the merchants of Lawrence, will star the five outstanding personalities of the University of Kansas campus, the Misses Sophisticated, Vivacious, Sporty, Demure, and Girlish.
MacArthur Pledges Truth In Pacific War Accounts
Maurice Hill, a senior in the School of Engineering will announce the models and describe their ensembles. He will also explain the use of substitute materials in place of the war priorities. Those in charge of the show are Mary Gene Hull and Mary Frances Fitzpatrick.
General MacArthur's Headquarters, Australia, March 24 (UP)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur said today that he and the United States government were going to tell the American public the truth about the war in the southwest Pacific "so they can summon all their confidence, all their determination, all their
The fashion show will be open to everyone. There will be no admission charge.
purpose, in the support of the war effort."
"In democracies it is essential that the public know the truth.
In a statement remarkable for its frankness and its grasp of the broad fundamentals of the war situation, MacArthur appealed for the aid of the press.
"Men will not fight and will not die unless they know what they are fighting for.
"Without it," he added, "we can not get the maximum out of the situation. We need the maximum in order to win."
MacArthur said that he needed the help of correspondents.
"The reasons for the efforts made by the United States and the Australian commonwealth to inform the public and to keep the public informed of what is going on are that if the public do not know the truth their imaginations at once come into play.
He said that newspaper correspondents were one of the most valuable components of a modern army and continued:
Gen. MacArthur recalled how in 1915, when he was a young general staff major, the late Newton D. Baker, Woodrow Wilson's secretary of war, gave him the job of press relations in the war department at Washington.
"It is therefore of prime importance that the public be instructed so they can summon all their confidence, all their determination, all their purpose in support of the war effort."
"I put into the job something of the ideas I have just outlined to you," MacArthur said.
"Since then I have been identified with the press and it has been of the greatest aid and value.
"What I have said does not mean that what we give out here you have to take and use. It does not mean that you have to limit yourselves to canned news. It does not even mean that you have to abstain from criticism.
"But I hope that before you criticize you will avail yourselves of all the facts, and if you do you will find that most of the criticism disappears."
Draft Queries To Be Out Soon
Questionnaires for men who registered under the Selective Service act Feb. 16, will be out soon.
Bruce Cameron, chairman of the local selective service board, said today that questionnaires for the men who registered in Douglas county are ready to be sent out, but no orders have been received as to when the blanks are to be distributed. Cameron has no idea when the orders will come.
Postpone Hill Speech Contest Until April
New Books
Victory Shelf In Watson
Students who wish to keep up with writings on the current war will find the new "Victory Shelf" in Watson library valuable. The shelf, a new addition to the browsing room, will contain the most recent books on world affairs, available for reading anytime.
The books include "Can Christianity Save Civilization," W. M. Horton; "The Imperial Soviets," Henry C. Wolfe; "Shall Not Perish from Earth," R. B. Perry; "Fascism for Whom," Ascoli Feilier; "The Quest for Peace," W. E. Rappard; "The New World," I. Bowman; "A Short History of the 'World Since 1918," J. H. Jackson; "While England Slept," Winston Churchill; "Why Hitler Came Into Power," T. Abel; "German Rampart," E. Hambloch; "Faccusal," Andre Simone; "Japan Case Examined," W. W. Willoughby; "The Caribbean Danger Zone," J. F. Rippy; "Defense for America," containing views of prominent men.
The all-University oratorical contest scheduled for the end of this week will be held sometime during the second week of April, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, announced today. Plans for this fourth event in the program of speech contests for the year have been changed to avoid conflict with the high school speech festival Friday and Saturday.
Sponsored by the department of speech and drama, the contest is open to all University students. The orations are to be 10 minutes in length and are to be the original work of the contestants. A copy of the speeches, which may be given on any subject, must be submitted before the contest. Twenty-five dollars in cash prizes will be offered.
'Carmen To Come To Hill Soon
The definite date, place, and time of the contest will be announced later. Professor Buehler said.
144,000 Eggs in "Omelet"
Binghampton, N.Y. — (UP) —Eu-gene F. Gauck unintentionally mixed a $4,000 egg omelet when a truck he was driving went into a ditch at nearby Damascus, spilling 12,000 dozen eggs.
The San Carlo opera and ballet company with a traveling group of over 100 members will present the opera "Carmen" by Bizet, in Hoch auditorium at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 8.
Sydney Rayner, who two years ago sang the role of Don Jose with the Metropolitan opera company in New York, will take the part of "Carmen." Mario Valle will take the role of the Toreador, Escamille, and Leola Turner, soprano, will be heard in the part of Miceia.
A symphony orchestra of 30 musicians will play for the 4-act dramatic opera directed by Carlo Peroni. Especially-designed scenery will create the Spanish setting of Seville, the wild and rocky mountain pass near the smugglers' den and the outside of the bull ring in the final act when "Carmen" meets her doom.
Because of the advance sale of season tickets there are only a limited number of reserved seat tickets available.
At least two bus loads of Kansas Citians from the Kansas City Conservatory of Music are expected to be here for the opera.

Sportin' Around
by Chuck Elliott
E
Mc CLOUD AND NUCKOLLS ARE FLUNKING
Jottings: The University of Colorado is run on the quarter basis of eligibility and it's a lucky thing. . . . Two first teamers, senior all-conference star Pete McCloud and sophomore flash Heath Nuckolls, have boycotted their classrooms on the Boulder campus and are flanking out of school, intentionally. . . . Big things were predicted for Nuckolls but now he won't be eligible next year. . . . Although Missouri was the springboard of the Big Six in basketball this year, George Edwards has much brighter prospects for next year. . . . He has eight first-class freshmen coming up to team with his six returning lettermen from this season. . . . The Tiger football team is also setting pretty. . . . Of the entire number of men that were eligible to play football for the Bengals next fall only one, Art Santow, has not joined some branch of the service which will defer him from Uncle Sam's draft call. . . Red Wade, nimble-footed, ambidextrous quarterback, was the last one to join a group as he enlisted in a branch of the Navy.
Two members of the classy Coffeyville Juco basketball squad have already determined where they are going to school. . . One of them virtually "signed a contract" with Colorado Saturday while in the City and the other has expressed a preference for Kansas providing he gets some kind of a job that will help with his expenses. . . Both players, by the way, averaged over nine points a game in that tough Eastern Juco division. . . Still in a Coffeyville mood, this lad Horace Huggins who is listed on the roster as a substitute for All-American (?) Bob Doll on the Colorado cage squad certainly did display some fancy basketball against Kansas. . . Although he never starts a game and plays very little, Huggins really has the confidence of his teammates. . . "Tis said they would rather have him in the lineup than the "Great" Doll. . . In fact, when Doll fouled out Friday night the Buffalo quintet breathed a sigh of relief and were confident they could win the game. . . Doll's downfall can be laid directly to his rampaging affairs with his girl.
GARDNER DID WHAT HE COULD
To quote Monday's Kansas City Star: "There's a whispering campaign against that Big Six basketball coach who is said to have scouted Kansas in the Oklahoma Aggie clash here Tuesday and turned his notes over to the Colorado masterminds. . . . A shady trick—if true". . . The Daily Kansan doesn't have any qualms whatsoever about spilling the dope. . . . Little incidents like this by Jack Gardner are just the things that tend to make distasteful relations between the two biggest state schools in Kansas. . . . And to think that Gardner is trying to build character at Kansas State. . . . Just to keep the records straight, here is another version on why Frosty Cox left Kansas. . . . This one is probably the most correct also. . . . It happened back in the days when Cox was freshman coach. . . . The varsity was engaged in a scrimage and Cox was playing on the opposition. . . . In a little mix-up Ray Urie, varsity performer, nicked Cox with his elbow. . . . Cox whirled around and hit Urie. . . . And that was the beginning of the end for Mr. Cox.
To demonstrate once again that Cox has no control over his players, this little incident can be related. . . . It happened during the game Saturday night when Colorado was losing to Stanford. . . . In the dressing room Jack Stirling, sophomore substitute, asked Pete McCloud, star of the previous night's win but possessor of nary a point thus far in the Stanford game, if he was satisfied with the way he was playing. . . . McCloud answered that certainly he was. . . . He was playing his game and doing his part out there. . . . This roused the ire of the rest of the squad and when the team went out for the next half there was not the least sign of comradeship or spirit among the players. . . . Neither McCloud nor Doll are popular with their teammates. . . . After the game that night, when the season was over for all of the players and they all had plans to either ceebrate or just fool around with their friends, McCloud couldn't find a soul who wanted him around. . . . He was forced to walk the streets with a high school youngster. . . . What price glory, how fleeting fame.
ALLEN MAY RECOMMEND 14 LETTERS
Don't be too surprised if "Phog" Allen asks the Athletic Board to grant about 14 varsity "K's" for basketball and a like number of gold basketballs for wishing the Big Six title. . . . Instead of Allen getting into the N.C.A.A. finals or one of his two students, Cox of Colorado or Rupp of Kentucky, it remained for Everett Dean, the Stanford coach to gain that honor. . . His Indians will use the Dartmouth Indians Saturday night for the title. . . The Dartmouth team is coached by Ossie Cowles who played under Dean at little Charlotte College of Northfield Minn. . . . What a game that will be. . . The two top Dartmouth scorers are George Munroe and Jim Olsen. . . They finished in third in the Eastern Intercollegiate League this season. . . And spanked the college with it comes from good authority that the reason the Indiana team is not playing this winter was because the high-scoring "sporadic" game against its junior grades test or mislaid until the hockey season was over. . . But now that a successful basketball season has been established to move on. It's been a lot of fun and after that we are mingling with the players on their road trips hope some practice sessions, it is a pretty definite fact that this University has a big bunch of fellows representing the school on the basketball floor. But no time to reminisce now for Alan Houghton is ready to take over the sports editor's desk. Here's the copy paper and the typewriter, Alan, go to it.
Stanford Indians On Hill Tomorrow
If local Hill-ites see several tall, good-looking skyscrapers wandering around the campus tomorrow morning and afternoon, they needn't be surprised. These "skyscrapers" will be the Stanford basketball team which is coming to Mt. Oread on the invitation of Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Jayhawker basketball coach, to gain a mental relaxation from their hum-drum existence in Kansas City.
Dr. Allen said this morning that he had extended the inviett Dean of the Indians purely as a friendly

he went over to Kansas City to
have lunch with the Washington
State College Cougars,
winners of the Western Division.
At that time they had gone stale
because the boys were used to living
on the campus and the city life
 didn't agree with them. When the
Cougars met Wisconsin in the finals
their play was lackadaisical and
sloppy and they lost by a good margin.
Luncheon for Two Teams
For that reason, Allen wants Stanford to be completely relaxed for the game against the Dartmouth Indians Saturday night. The Kansas coach will go over to Kansas
City tomorrow morning and come back with the Stanford aggregation in a bus.
The squad will then be taken on a tour of the campus, town, and Haskell Institute. After all the interesting sights of Lawrence have been shown and explained to the players, a luncheon will be held in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building at 12:30 p.m. This luncheon will be for the players of the Kansas and Stanford squads with their coaching staffs and publicity agents.
The Stanford team which will come to the campus will average six feet two and two-thirds inches (continued to page seven)
Cunningham Returns To Referee Relays
A new feature of the relays this year will be an open championship 880 relays event for Kansas High Schools. Both class A and class B representatives will be eligible for competition. The established 880 relay event for the high schools of Kansas City, Mo., will be on the attractive two day menu again this year.
Heading the Big Ten conference delegations will be Minnesota's squad of Golden Gophers which will include 24 men for the relays. Colorado has already indicated that a squado of 12 will represent the Buffaloes, Coach Hargiss said today. With the relays nearly a month away, advance inquiries point to one of the finest fields of contestants in recent years for the games.
880-Yard Kansas Relay
Dr. Glenn Cunningham, formerly the world's greatest miler, and now director of athletics and professor of physical education at Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, will return to his Alma Mater to serve as referee at the twentieth annual University of Kansas relays and Interscholastic Track and Field Meet, April 17 and 18, Gwinn Henry, director of the carnival, announced today. Minnesota Will Send 24
Entry blanks are going out this week to colleges and Universities throughout the country, and to all high schools in the state. H. W. Hargiss, University of Kansas track coach and general manager of the relays, announced today. A great deal of interest in this year's carnival, traditionally one of the outstanding events of its kind in the nation, has been evidenced by the preliminary correspondence and inquiries which have been coming into the offices of the athletic department here.
The special events, university class relays, college class and junior college relay, will again feature the carnival. Early interest manifested indicates a record representation for the college and university events. The fact that enrollments in the various high school institutes and clinics held this year under University auspices have been heavier than in recent years, is expected to produce a large entry list in the inter-scholastic events, Director Henry said.

With the win over Rice Saturday night the University of Kansas Jayhawkers completed their most successful season since 1938. This year 18 games were won out of 22 played. Of the ten conference games played, eight were won to give Kansas a tie with Oklahoma for the title.
These are the four graduating seniors who "Phog" Allen will lose from his 1941-42 Big Six co-champion squad.

After the regular season was finished the Jayhawks defeated Oklahoma Aggies for the second time this year to gain the right to enter the Western division playoffs of the N.C.A.A. In the first game, Kansas was defeated by Colorado 46 to 44 but the next night the Jayhawks came back to trim Rice 55 to 53. Two years ago Rice fell before Kansas 50 to 44.
In winning the Big Six the Jay-hawks set a new offensive scoring record by tallying 521 points in 10 games for a 52.1 points-a-game average. The old record was 46.2 points set by Oklahoma in 1939. For the entire season Kansas averaged 48.09 points a game and allowed their foes 39.46 points.
In Losing Miller the Jayhawks will be minus the ability of one of the greatest athletes that has ever worn a Kansas uniform. While in high school at Chanute Miller was acclaimed as one of the two greatest interscholastic performers in the history of the state. In three years

of competition he scored 1,364 points in 69 games for an average of 19.77 points a game. In his senior year he averaged 21.1 points a game.
T. P. Hunter was the most valuable reserve man that Allen had this year. He was never considered a full-time regular although he was the only man on the squad to participate in all 22 games besides the four regulars. Hunter played his most impressive games when inserted into the line-up as a substitute. His most impressive performance of the year was against
He started slowly in basketball this season but led the Kansans in scoring in their last seven conference games. In his last five Big Six tiltes he scored 100 points. His conference record for this year totaled 152 points to lead all scorers. He repeated on the all-conference team this year from his selection two years ago.
Bob Johnson was the victim of many handicaps during his college career. He was slated for his greatest season this year and was fulfilling these predictions when he broke his ankle before the first game of the season. He never regained the form he was showing at this time. He was never spectacular although a good, steady player and valuable in the clutch.

Charlie Walker was slow in startling his college career as he did not report for freshman basketball and joined the squad at mid-term of his sophomore year. Walker's fundamentals were probably the best of any player on the team. He wore glasses while on the court and his only fault was his lack of aggressiveness.

The KANSAN Comments...
The Rights of Labor and the War
It has long been a truism that war necessitates sacrifice, and sacrifice for everyone, but there is no reason why labor should be forced now to give up all the progress it has been able to make in the past ten years.
Speaker Rayburn of the House has been the last to come out in favor of extension of the work-week to 48 hours. The law at present provides for a 40-hour week, as it did when the existing contracts were signed. Capital knew this when it agreed to the terms, and made adequate provision for it.
A case in point is that of Jack and Heintz company, the president of which admits a salary boost from $25,000 to $100,000 in 1941, and a bonus for each employee with a yearly salary of more than $10,000. The obvious reason for these huge bonuses was to avoid payment of excess profits taxes. The firm manufactures airplane motor starters for the government. It has made a profit of $328 on each sold to the navy, and slightly less on those sold to the army. The firm holds exclusive patents on the starter, and the navy reported that it was unable to obtain competitive bids for this reason.
Capital is losing no money by conversion of its plants to war-time production, and it is ridiculous to expect labor to give up its rights that capital may profit more. If the laborer is forced to work 8 additional hours each week before being allowed to collect his overtime wage, then all the valuable social legislation of the Roosevelt administration has gone for naught.
Every voice is raised in the hope that labor trouble can be averted for the duration. The majority of the press of the country hopes that labor can be kept in line long enough to "finish our job." Labor may expect to grant concessions, but so must capital. This new manifestation of greed on the part of capital will not have the effect of cementing relationships between the two parties concerned in delivering the goods to win the war.
It is probable that such persons as Rayburn, and the myriad other one-time liberals who now clutter up the pages of newspapers and the floors of assemblies while they spout freely of the lack of "cooperation" from labor in the war effort, are merely the dupes of big producers. For certain reasons, best known to themselves, they have suddenly found it to their advantage to espouse the cause of the persecuted capitalist.
Certain civil liberties must be forfeited in war-time. The scale of living suffers certain set-backs. Many people who see some way to profiteer will do so. Capital in the past has never been reluctant to make the best of a war. After many years of being sold on the labor market, the worker has finally come into his own. Labor will not give up the rights it has acquired.
Music Has Power—To Disturb
Every student on the campus has, at some time or other, had a class in Frank Strong hall. During his attendance at this class, he has, in all probability, silently or vociferously condemned all fine arts students to a better life—at least a distant one.
Since practice rooms are a necessary evil for music majors, why could they not be made soundproof? Everyone who has been concentrating on an experiment, working a problem, or translating a difficult passage only to have
the train of thought broken by a sudden trill from an ambitious soprano, realizes the need for soundproofing.
Not only in Frank Strong hall itself, but in Hayworth hall, student concentration lags as distraction occurs in the form of piano scales, operatic runs, and tenor tremolos. The only appreciable difference here is that the piano, violin, and voice minple into an unharmonious jangle. This does not lead to appreciation of the arts.
This disturbing element has been commented upon, not only by students and faculty, but by visitors on the campus, and one visitor in particular—Alec Templeton. Though he referred to it in a whimsical way, the source of the disturbance is still in existence, and will remain an unnecessary distraction until one of three things is done:
1. Soundproof all practice rooms.
2. Exile all fine arts students to Siberia.
3. Exile all other students to Siberia, and
3. Exile all other students to Siberia, and let the School of Fine Arts have the place

What with the Dine-A-Mite burning Sunday night and Wiedemann's in a state of inundation the eve of Saturday, who could reasonably doubt that saboteurs are at work upon our poor old beat-up coke joints? The installation of an office of Jelly-Joint Defense is imminent.
Ever since Jack Engel and Bob Berridge, Pi K.A. Field and Stream boys, thought they spied a 17-inch bass in Potter's last week, the local crawdads and salamanders haven't had a moment's rest. Hours that formerly used to be absorbed in cokes now find them frantically tossing bass plugs with ecclesiastical invocations.

Many materials used in telephone making are listed as "critical" for war purposes. Bell Telephone Laboratories and Western Electric have redesigned apparatus and changed manufacturing methods to employ available materials.
Take aluminum. The reduction in its use in a year's telephone output is enough to build 294 combat planes. This program has been replacing critical materials at an annual rate of 7,747,000 pounds. Though it grows steadily more difficult to maintain as shortages increase, the program helps to meet the greatest demand in history for military and civilian communication equipment.

Alumnus to Coach Glee Club for Contest
Keith Davis, who was graduated from the School of Fine Arts in 1938 with a major in voice, will arrive on the campus sometime next week to aid the Men's Glee Club in making recordings for the Fred Waring-sponsored contest for university and college glee clubs. Davis is at present a member of Waring's organization.
The Glee Club will go to radio station KMBC, Kansas City, Mo., Saturday afternoon to make the records. The records will
in turn be sent to Waring in New York City,where he will judge them and select a winner from each district.
The district winners will go to New York City where they will appear on his radio program, and from the performances on this program the national winner will be chosen.
Competitors of the K. U. Men's Glee Club in this district will be Mcmouth College, Knox College, University of Illinois, Tarkio College, St. Louis University, Harding College, Wichita University, Oklahoma A. and M., University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Baptist University, Texas Christian University, Texas A. and M., University of Texas, St. Edward's University, Southwestern Louisiana Institute, and Louisiana State College.
The Glee Club will record "The Banner of Old K. U." a number written especially for the University by Waring two years ago; "Tenebrae Factae Sunt" by Palestina; and "Loch Lomond," a number required of all the entering clubs. It is an arrangement by Roy Ringwald. The numbers are all to be sung A Cappella.
"The K. U. club has an excellent chance of winning the trip to New York and the national publicity that such a radio appearance would bring about," Prof. Joseph F. Wilkins, director of the club stated today. He expressed belief that the University of Illinois and Louisiana State College glee clubs would be the Hill group's closest rivals for the honor.
Law School Hit Hard by Draft
Selective service has cut the enrollment of the School of Law more than 50 per cent, leaving only 50 students enrolled in the School, Dean F. J. Moreau said in discussing the future of law training at the University. Normal enrollment is around 110.
Since it is now possible to obtain liberal arts and law degrees in about the same length of time formerly required for the College degree, Dean Moreau says there are indications that next fall's enrollment will show an upswing. Work for bachelor degrees can now be completed in two and one - half years. The time required for the law degree has been shortened through the use of extended summer sessions.
During the last war several law schools were forced to close, though none have taken that step at present. Dean Moveau said that in spite of a possible further drop in enrollment the Law school here will remain open.
Draft Takes Louis Kuitert
Louis Kuitert, assistant in the School of Education, left last Thursday night for his home in Michigan. Kuitert has been drafted.
Home Economists Honor Miss Sprague
At the annual meeting of the Kansas Home Economists association in Topeka Friday and Saturday, recognition was given to the outstanding and creative work of its first president, Elizabeth Cade Sprague. A review of her contributions in the field of home economics education and research and an appreciation of her services to the state was read.
Miss Sprague was for 27 years the head of the department of home economies at the University, during which time the program of the department and its physical equipment were greatly enlarged and enriched. She still holds the rank of professor on the Hill.
to Washington, D.C. by the U.S. Food Administration to act as adviser and director of investigations in food preparation. She is the author of a number of bulletins and articles on the subject of food preparation and co-author of the volume, "Food and the War."
Call for Knitters To Work for Navy
All women students who have done any knitting for Bundles for America, or who are interested in this work are asked by Mrs. Henry Werner to visit room 8 of the Lawrence Community building. The room will be open from 2 to 5 p.m. every day, including Saturday.
A shipment of knitted garments will be sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station early next month. The downtown organization will furnish yarn for knitting.

Wedding Awaited Uniform
London—(UP)—A young man brought up in a North London Police Court was accused of deserting his girl friend. "She's an opportunist," he explained. "She didn't keep enough coupons to get a wedding dress. So she postponed our wedding until she received her W.A.A.F. uniform."

Pennsylvania State College is blazing the trail in a new kind of night training for college students. The school has set up a night club on the campus.

Instead of taking time out from studying their mid-semesters and taking in a dance, students at Penn State walk over to the club and take in a floor show and some big city night life. Of course, it would be hard for students at Kansas University to realize what it would be like to go night clubbing on Mt. Oread instead of making plans a week ahead of time to drive over to the City for a little special celebrating, but they say one can get used to anything if they have to.

Patriotism Stirred at Concert Band Plays to 3000
By WALLACE KUNKEL
A feeling of national pride and loyalty prevailed over Hoch auditorium last evening as the University of Kansas band was presented in the thirty-fifth annual spring concert under the direction of Russell L. Wiley to an appreciative audience of 3000 people.
The band upheld its reputation for good concerts by presenting a three-part program of operatic selections, patriotic music and novelty arrangements of well-known tunes interspersed with special numbers. Operatic Selections Featured
Upon finishing the national anthem and presenting the flag as the concert opened, the band followed immediately with one of the best performed selections of the evening. Wotan's Farewell and Magic Fire Music from "The Valkyrie" by Wagner. This tone picture was well chosen as an introduction to the numbers which followed. "The Bartered Bride" Suite showed expert musicianship on the part of the band and soloists and was well received by the audience.
Medical Student Guest Soloist
Dean Brooks, student at the University of Kansas school of medicine in Kansas City and a five-year member of the band's trombone section, returned as solloist after a year's absence and gave a brilliant interpretation of Arthur Sullivan's "The Lost Chord."
Cornet soloist Herbert Mueller displayed considerable versatility in his performance of Vincent Bach's "Hungarian Melodies," a difficult number requiring fine quality of tone and technique. Robert Cater, cornet soloist, brought back memories of the film World War with his playing of "Roses of Pieardy." An interesting accompaniment by the band made it a pleasing number.
Intent on showmanship, Director Wiley presented a background of music in using specially muted brass and reed combination for the reading of the words of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" by Danny Bachmann, first chair trombonist. This struck a tone of patriotism which was followed by such selections as "Angels of Mercy," "The White Cliffs of Dover" in which Clayton Krehbiel was presented as vocal soloist, and "God Save America." Following these numbers, members of the twirling staff, Billy Sears and George Rhoades, gave a military exhibition of the handling of nine-pound army rifles instead of the usual street batons.
A well-rehearsed selection of variations on the theme "Pop! Goes the Weasel" was one of the lighter numbers of the program though equally as difficult in rhythm and technique as any other number presented.
Typically American Songs
To continue the series of outstanding selections, the band played two numbers which were based on easily recognizable songs typical of the American culture. "American Rhapsody" was carried through by variations of "Dixie" and "Carry Me Back To Old Virginia" and found a responsive audience. Western tunes were intermingled to make one of the most enjoyable numbers of the concert, "Cowboy Rhapsody." The dominant tone was given by the use of "Home on the Range" and many a listener found himself humming or singing with the band.
Igor Strawinsky's Bercuse and Finale from "The Firebird" ended the program in the usual volume and majestic fashion typical of the band concerts. The "Alma Mater" was played as an encore for the evening's performance.
Special congratulations were given Prof. Wiley at the close of the concert by Dr. W. Otto Miessner, chairman of the department of public school music, whose manuscript, "God Save America," was read in the second part of the concert.
Solos which were played noticeably well throughout the evening's performance were done by Miss Dorothy Palmer, baritone; Robert Forman, oboe; Bruce Thomas, clarinetist; and Robert Jenkins, tympanist and zylophonist.
41 Medical Students Get Physical Exams
Physical examinations will be given tonight to 41 medical students who are candidates for reserve commissions in the Army medical corps. Dr. R. I. Canuteson said today.
In order to stay in school to finish their work, the students of the School of Medicine who are of draft age, must accept reserve commissions in either the Army or the Navy, Dr. Canuteson explained. Many of the students already have taken their commissions in the Navy.
The men who take the examinations tonight will receive commissions in the Army medical corps reserve as second lieutenants, and will go on active duty as first lieutenants as soon as they graduate.
Paint Shop Has Colorful Crew
Paint Shop Has Colorful Grew Sacramento, Calif. — (UP) — Pvt. Cleo Green was accustomed to wise-cracks about his name because he was caretaker of the paint ship at Mather Field. When he was transferred, the jokers had reason to be doubly funny. The new caretakers were Pvts. J. P. Black and R . E. Brown.
Show Movies To Candidates For Navy Squadron
Officers of the U. S. Navy will be in the Memorial Union lounge following dinner this evening to talk with students who are interested in the Jayhawk squadron now being planned by the Navy. The officers will try to answer any questions the students may have.
Moving pictures were shown in Fraser theater at 4:30 p.m. today. Two movies, which lasted approximately 20 minutes each, showed flight training as it is done in the Navy. The program was under the direction of Lieut. G. G. Price, senior member of the Naval Aviation cadet selection board in Kansas City Mo.
The Navy is organizing a flying squadron composed of University students which will be known as the "Flying Jayhawk Squadron." This goup is comparable to the Missouri "Tigers," a squadron which completed training several months ago.
The squadron, if it can be organized, will receive basic training in the midwest and then will be transferred either to Pensacola or Corpus Christi for advanced training.
Those who join will be deferred until June so that they may complete this academic year.
Releases Mothers For War Work
Malden, Mass. — (UP) —A "cooperative nursery school" which frees mothers for work in war industry has been established by a group of Malden women. They are seeking funds for nationwide "schools" based on their model.
Formed soon after Pearl Harbor, the school has a present enrollment of 17 children, who attend five days a week.
The youngsters, ranging in age from two to five years, learn games under the direction of a teacher. Part of the school's expenses are defrayed by raffles and bridge parties.

University Contributes To Nation's Air Forces
Air-minded University of Kansas is giving its share of pilots for national defense and the war.
Of the more than 300 students who have completed their work in the Civilian Pilots' Training program since its institution at the University in 1939, nearly 60 per cent are now engaged in war aviation activities. Edward E. Brush, professor of aeronautics and co-ordinator
aeronautics and co-ordinator of the University C.P.T. program, revealed today.
Brush's announcement came as the result of a questionnaire sent to all students who have enrolled in the program since it was started on the campus. Of the total number 26.6 per cent of those enrolled are still attending the University.
Navy Takes Large Share
The larges percentage — fourteen and eight tenths per cent—of the aviation graduates are flying in the United States Navy. The Army air corps is running a close second with 13.8 per cent, while other branches of the armed forces have interested 11.4 per cent. Forty per cent of the CP-TP graduates are with some branch of these two services.
In other fields, 5.2 per cent of the graduates are engaged in civilian flight instruction, 6.2 per cent are working in aircraft factories, and 4.2 per cent in other defense activities. Varied Duties
Three students are engaged as instructors in the C.A.A. program, two as civilian ground instructors and three in advanced C.P.T.P. raining work. Of the total who have finished the flight training program, only 13.8 per cent are engaged in strictly non-defense activities.
Since the outbreak of the current world war, Professor Brush said the flood o fapplications for the primary training classes far exceeded the number of enrollments that could be taken. Since the federal appropriation for the CPTP program has been boosted from 25 million to 36 million
dollars for the next year, Professor Brush expects considerable expansion of the program as administered, by the University's facilities.
Math Teachers Go to Ft. Haus
Representing the University will be H. E. Jordan, associate professor of mathematics; Wealthy Babcock, associate professor of mathematics; G.B.Price, associate professor of mathematics; G.W.Smith, professor of mathematics; Miss Florence Black, assistant professor of mathematics; and Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the college, and assistant professor of education and mathematics.
The thirty-eighth annual meeting of the Kansas Association of Teachers of Mathematics will be held at Kansas State Teachers College at Ft. Hays, Friday and Saturday.
Price will speak Friday evening at the meeting on "Some Formulas in Analytic Geometry." In the Saturday morning session, Smith will speak on "Some Circles Related to a Triangle." Also, Ulmer will give a report of the "Committee on Placement Test."
Ulmer will speak in the afternoon session on the subject of "Teaching Geometry to Develop Clear Thinking."
Smith is on the nominating committee of the Kansas section of the Mathematical Association of America.

THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1942
From the Sidelines by Alan B. Houghton
Thanks Chuck Elliott; you've done a difficult job per excellence.
Having closed the ledge on a highly successful basketball season, Forrest C. Allen is ready to take over the reins of the Jayhawker baseball team. It was from the baseball diamond that Allen acquired his nickname "Phog." . . . Allen has been associated with the game of baseball since 1900—as a player, coach and umpire. In fact, he antedates Ernie C. Quigley in the umpiring business. By 1905 Allen had gained the epithet, "Foghorn," for his booming voice calling balls and strikes behind the plate. . . . It was then that Ward "Pinhead" Cable, Kansan sports writer of that era, decided that "Foghorn" was too plain. Gable, who now lives in Bend, Ore., endeavored to doll it up a bit. The result "Phog" which has stuck ever since.
It seems that Kansans in general and University students in particular have no monopoly on aversion for Colorado's arrogant basketball mentor, "Frosty" Cox. The following is an excerpt from a letter from the Spanish Fork, Utah, high school coach, dated March 20:
"We are hoping that you will be able to beat Colorado U. tonight as it seems to us that they are a bunch of very poor sports. A few of us traveled some distance to see them play Brigham Young University a while back and found that they are very poor sports and seemed to be led by their coach Mr. Cox."
George "Potsy" Clark, former Kansas football coach, has joined the nation's armed forces for the second time; in the first World War he served in the army as a second lieutenant. Recently he was sworn in the naval reserve as a lieutenant commander. . . . Clark played his college football under Bob Zuppke at Illinois. He was chosen all-Western Conference in 1913-14. Although he weighed but 160 pounds, his ability as a ball carrier placed him on many all-American selections. . . . . "Potsy" served as frosh football coach at Kansas in 1916 before he joined the 89th division. On the 89th division football team he played with Howard "Scrubby" Laslett, former Kansas end, and Ad Lindsey, ex-Jayhawk football coach. . . . His team won the A.E.F. football title and the players received the personal congratulations of General Pershing. . . . He returned to coach football at the University from 1921-25. High point of his career at Kansas was the tie with a heavily favored Nebraska team 0-0 in 1923. . .
Another addition to Uncle Sam's navy is Paul Masoner in the physical education division. Masoner, Jay-hawk quarterback in 1955-36-37, resigned his job as football coach at Marysville high.
It Finally Happened Here
East St. Louis, Ill. — (UP) — Fern R. Rauch, secretary of the Central Trade sand Labor Union, is one man who doesn't want a raise. When a proposal to increase his salary from $72 to $82 a month was put before the union, he asked that it be rejected. It was.

Jayhawkers Open Against K-State
Kansas' baseball team is tentatively scheduled to open its season against Kansas State at Manhattan, April 10. Forrest C. Allen, Jayhawk baseball coach, announced today.
With baseball activities being curtailed this season because of a cut in the team's funds by the athletic board Kansas has tentatively arranged an eight-game schedule with Missouri and Kansas State.
BASEBALL SCHEDULE (Tentative)
April 10-11, Kansas vs. Kansas State, there.
April 24-25, Kansas vs. Missouri,
here.
May 8-9, Kansas vs. Kansas State,
here
May 25-26, Kansas vs. Missouri,
there.
Arrangements have been made among the three teams whereby the visiting team members may stay at fraternity houses rather than expending money for hotel rooms.
Coach Allen emphasized that the schedule is, as yet, incomplete. He plans to have the Jayhawks play some of the nearby college teams, such as Baker and Rockhurst. He also expects to arrange games for the Kansas nine with service teams from Ft. Leavenworth and Ft. Riley.
Twenty-six men have reported for varsity baseball, which has been held indoors for the past three weeks. There are five lettermen in the group; they are Knute Kresie, John Krum, Del Green, T. P. Hunter, and Larry Johnston.
Others reporting for practice are Dean Martin, Bill Atwell, Otto Teichgraeber, Irven Hayden, Warren Hodges, Calvert Winter, Bob Goodeil, Marshall Hulett, Steve Meade, Denzel Gibbens, John Kreamer, Al Hecht, Marvin Vandaveer, Forrest Hill, Dorus Munsinger, Roscoe Hambric, Gerry Boynton, George Dick, Ray Evans, Max Kissell, and Bob Innis.
Allen named as probable pitchers Kresie, hurler for last season's club Hunter, Hecht, and Vandaveer. Behind the plate he plans to use Hodges and Evans.
In practice Krum, Teichgraeber, Green, Hulett, Kreamer, and Meade show promise for the infield. Kresie and Hunter also play infield when not pitching. For the outfield coach Allen has Larry Johnston, Denzel Gibbens, and Martin.
Scranton, Pa. — (UP) — Abraham Le Roy Musselman was deferred when he said he was married and the father of an infant daughter.
Allen predicts that this year's Jayhawker baseball team will surpass last season's. "I am looking for batters this year," he stated. "I'll find a place on the team for them if they can hit."
Jury Says the Dependent Borrowed
He even took the baby with him when he appeared before the draft board.
Now he's under indictment as a draft evader. The Grand Jury said the baby was his brother's borrowed for the occasion.
Football---
Scrimmage Stopped By Rain and Mud
Spring football squadmen and coaches thought that scrimmage had finally arrived for this spring's practice on Monday and Tuesday of this week, but their enthusiasm was dampened by yesterday's rain.
Monday's practice consisted of limbering up by running plays and by passing practice. The whole squad practiced on passing and pass receiving. Later the squad was divided by the coaches into teams and plays were run in a dummy scrimmage.
On Tuesday, after passing practice, a short scrimmage was held. The offensive team was made team was made up of Paul Hardman and Grier Zimmerman at end, Dick Channell and Don Johnson at tackles, Lloyd Svoboda and Joe Crawford at guards, and Junius Penny at center. The backfield consisted of Gene Roberts, Hoyt Baker, John Conley, and Harlan Altman.
The defensive team was composed of Otto Schnellbacher and Bud Smith at end, Jack Tenenbaum and John Monroe at tackles, John Herron and Gene Long at guards, Bob Githens at center, with a backfield consisting of Joe Roberts, John Lo-Pinto, Alvin Hecht, and Bill Palmer.
Because of yesterday's rain the squad was assembled under the stadium and heard a chalk talk on the plays they had been running.
Following the chalk talk the men took a few laps around the indoor track under the stadium to complete the workout. The centers stayed for a few minutes longer to prac-

Unique Carnival Set for April 4
Track coach W. H. "Bill" Huggiss has designated Saturday afternoon, April 4, as the day for the intramural track meet.
Hargiss plans to make a "Roman holiday" of the affair with numerous and sundry events open to all. He stated that he intends to put an entry sheet on the bulletin board of the intramural office where contestants can sign for the events in which they wish to compete.
Making more of a picnic than a track meet of the proposed affair, Hargiss plans to sponsor events ranging all the way from "knitting to throwing the shot." There will be a place on the entry blank for contestants to designate events.
Coach Hargiss has a twofold purpose in his track meet-carnival. He explained that it would afford exercise and entertainment for those competing, and he hopes to discover talent through this medium to bolster his Kansas track team which has suffered heavily from the draft, enlistments, and grade failures.

Geography Lesson--dominions, to the British King. It comprises the six colonies, now called "Original States," of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and the island of Tasmania, plus the Northern Territory, and the Canberra Capital Territory.
Chief Cities Lie Far From Active War Theater
Washington.—(UP)—As Austria is now more and more in the headlines, certain outstanding features of the southern hemisphere's great island continent become increasingly significant.
A bulletin from the National Geographic Society points out that Australia is approximately the size of continental United States, but has only about seven million inhabitants, compared with more than 130,000,000 in the United States.
Most of the people of Australia are found within a narrow coastal belt. Nearly half of the population is concentrated in the nation's half-dozen cities, led by Sydney with more than a million and a quarter inhabitants, and Melbourne, with a little more than a million.
Interior Thinly Settled
Since both Sydney and Melbourne lie on the southeast coast of Australia, many hundreds of miles still separate them from the active theatre of war. To Melbourne from the island of New Guinea, where the Japanese have gained footholds, is a matter of some 2,000 air miles. Sydney, directly south of the southeast tip of this Netherlands - Australian possession, is about 1,700 miles away. Canberra, the country's 15-year-old, made-to-order capital, lies about 100 miles southwest of Sydney, between that port and Melbourne.
Island territories of the now overrun Netherlands Indies lie within a few hundred miles of the coast of north central Australia. Any drive in this direction, by way of the "out back" base of Port Darwin, would lead first through Australia's least-settled regions.
Population density is lightest in the centralized Northern Territory, with an average of only about one person to each 100 square miles of land. In the lonely reaches of Western Australia some 45 persons are counted for each 100 square miles, while Queensland, in the northeast, has 141 people for a similar unit. In sharp contrast with these figures, the southeastern Victoria State contains more than 2,000 inhabitants for every 100 square miles.
Self-Governing Nation
Australia's generally sparse settlement is due to two main factors, its great distance from European sources of immigration, and the restrictive laws passed there against importation of non-white peoples from the nearer continents and Pacific Islands. There is a small group of aboriginal blacks, between fifty and sixty thousand, but they are decreasing in numbers.
The Commonwealth of Australia is a self-governing nation sharing allegiance, along with other British
The continent's important mountain ranges are found only along the east coast. With its rolling grasslands, low brush, and open spaces, Australia offers little natural obstruction to overland invasion.
Airlines Link Coasts
A striking feature of the transportation system which may play a part in the present emergency is that many of the railway lines extending inland from the coast come to an abrupt end. Also, between one line and another, there is often a difference of gauge, a handicap to transcontinental service which resulted from independent development of Australia's colonies.
Continental air service links the coasts and an east-west railway runs across the southern portion of the country; but there is no completed north-south railway communication. The north-south line which was pushed inland from Darwin during the late 1800's eventually stretched for about 300 miles, leaving a break in steel to the heart of the country. This gap was filled by the Defense Highway within the last two years. Has Iron, Steel Industry
The economic life of peacetime Australia is a clear example of the influence of climate and terrain. With more rainfall, the continent's vast level stretches and mild seasons could have provided the foundation for one of the world's richest farm areas. As it is, Australia's arid and semi-arid conditions (more than a third of it is desert) limited the development of varied crops, and encouraged sheep and cattle raising.
The European war, while serving on one hand to curtail agricultural and grazing activities, on the other, operated to speed up the nation's already expanding factory life. Around the middle of 1939 there were nearly 27,000 plants, employing more than half a million people. Especially significant in the war effort is Australia's iron and steel industry.

Professor Chubb will speak on "America, the Axis, and Russia" and will explain how the United States became involved in Europe's war.
In his interpretation of the present war conditions, Professor Chubb will endeavor to show what has gone on before the present time with relation to the United States and the Axis. He will show that there are really two axis set-ups, one in Europe and one in the East, that involved the United States in the war.

The KANSAN Comments...
The Service of the Press
There is usually someone ready to accuse the press of profiteering in wartime. Many think the press favors war so that it might stuff its coffers. They say "Yeah, the newspapers love war because they can make more money by selling more papers; that's logical isn't it?"
No, it's not logical; what's more it's ridiculous, the product of juvenile thinking. Newspapers receive as heavy a jolt in wartime as any other enterprise does. The mere increase in circulation does in no way compensate for the increased operating expenses.
Paper is growing scarcer every day and its price is steadily rising. Some equipment is impossible to get, typewriters for example. As price goes up, quality of equipment goes down because of priorities on raw materials.
We mustn't forget the increased reporting costs brought on by wartime coverage, either. Yes, the press associations, pay the increased expense directly—but the newspapers pay the associations. Then, too, the large metropolitan papers often have their own staff of correspondents, and they can't be hired for nothing.
Lastly, advertising has taken a heart- breaking slump. Many advertisers are marking time to see what happens; others are letting go with a wee bit of institutional advertising just to keep their firm or trade names before the public. Many small papers over the country have been forced to curtail their regular frequency of publication because of this factor.
It all boils down to this conclusion: The American press is unselfishly serving the public. It is doing this by providing news coverage on a wider scale and at a greater expense in order to reach more readers and leave them better informed, while it goes on making less money than it did before the war started.
The Denver Post informs us that a large part of the world has never seen butter of any kind. Which makes our quibbling over the impending shortage seem trivial.
Razors Raise a Problem
Razor blades have been curtailed now, and it seems probable that the end of this war will see a crop of bearded heroes similar to those who won the Civil war.
There may be a frantic dash to stores in last minute attempts to purchase the old-fashioned straight razor, long in disfavor. Authorities assure us that it will be to no avail. They aren't making them either. Only the few rugged individualists who have clung to the straight razor through the years can be assured of the daily shave. Electric razors haven't yet fallen under the ban, but it is assured that they will soon.
Several problems come to mind. Romance will probably suffer. Women, more sophisticated than their grandmothers, will likely refuse to have anything to do with males who camouflage their faces behind the tangled shrubbery which will spring up during the duration. The smooth-shaven lad who troups down the street with a girl on each arm while his be-beavered colleagues look admiringly on may be recognized a mile away as the owner of a straight razor.
Men may become unmanageable. Personal beauty has long been recognized as one of the strongest motivating factors in human behavior. Any number of ghastly crimes may occur as feverish males steal razors or blades from each other. Some future author, dealing with this particular period, may write books on the "Razor Murders."
On the other hand, beards do make men look dignified. Look at Charles Evans Hughes. The beard has always been a respected mark of manhood until the last few barbaric decades. The ancient Greeks regarded the beard as a sign of wisdom—naturally if you had no beard your mind couldn't be too mature. The Romans started this custom of shaving, but they were a bunch of barbarians, anyhow.
Anyhow, it is one of the wages of war. We must make sacrifices, you know. Everyone has heard that except Standard Oil and the German chemical trust. If we must wear beards, then that is what we'll do. Who cares? The women are going to have to wear cotton stockings, and they don't look so darn good in them, either.
And incidentally, a night-spot called the Jesse James has been held up. Which serves to disavow the slogan "You won't be held up at the Jesse James."
The fire chief of Liberty, Mo., went to a fire recently on horseback. He denied that he was saving tires, stating that he had been exercising one of his private steeds at the time.

Republics to Celebrate Pan-American Day
Washington, D. C. — (UP) — For the first time under wartime conditions, the 21 Republics on April 14, will celebrate Pan American Day—the day of the Americas.
For eleven years the American republics have been celebrating April 14 as a day commemorating the bonds of friendship between them, and "that spirit of mutual helpfulness and cooperation which is the es-
This year the celebrations have a deeper significance, as many of the nations of the hemisphere are belligerents in the struggle against the Axis. Others, although neutral, have severed relations with the Axis and granted special privileges to the American nations at war in the use of ports and other facilities. Name Was Changred
It was in 1930 that the Governing Board of the Pan American Union, headed by the then Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson and including the 20 Latin American Ambassadors and Ministers stationed here, decided that beginning in 1931, a special day would be set aside each year so that the peoples of the Americas "might recall the community of interests, the unity of sentiments and aspirations, the ties of history, and the intimate relationships that bind each country to the other nations of the Americas."
April 14 was selected as the date, because on April 14, 1890, the First International Conference of the American States, meeting in Washington with James G. Blaine as chairman, passed a resolution creating the "Commercial Bureau of the American Republics," which was later transformed into the "Pan American Union" and made the official organ of the 21 Republics. Elsie Houston to Sing
The first actual celebration occurred on April 14, 1931, which coincided with the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic—an event which was hailed in the Americas as constituting a step toward democracy in the mother-country of many of the American republics. The Spanish Republic, however, which began to run into trouble around 1934, ceased to exist in 1939.
The Pan American Union Governing Board will hold a special meeting on April 14, at which some distinguished orator will speak on the significance of the day. At night the Pan American Union will sponsor a concert of music of the Americas, by the United States Marine Band. Elsie Houston, Brazilian singer, will be vocalist for the occasion.
Reports from other capitals of the Hemisphere indicate that schools, clubs, civic associations and other groups also will celebrate the day. War Strengthens Bond
Thousands of schools in the United States, which are taking an ever-increasing interest in teaching Portuguese and Spanish as well as history and geography of Latin America, will hold special exercises on that day. A barometer of their enthusiasm is the amount of material which they obtain from the Pan American Union for such events. In 1937 the Pan American Union received 5,885 requests for material from the United States and Latin America, while in 1941 this figure was more than double--being 12,-566 requests.
The very fact that the United States is virtually "blockaded" from big portions of Europe and Africa on one side and Asia on the other, has intensified its interest in Latin
America. In its war effort, the United States has become increasingly dependent on Latin America for its supplies of essential raw materials, now that East Asia has been cut off. Similarly, Latin American industrialists and professional men, formerly dealing with Europe more than with the United States, are now becoming more and more interested in their northern neighbor.
Law Fraternity Initiates Eight
Eight students in the School of Law were initiated into Phi Delta Phi, legal fraternity, in the court room in Green hall Tuesday afternoon.
The initiates were John Bremyer, second year law student; Karl Shawver, second year law; Earl Souligny, first year law; Bob Douglas, first year law; Page Benson, first year law; Neal Powers, first year law; Bob Miller, second year law; and Harold Wilson, third year law.
Following the initiation service, a dinner was held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Justice Walter G. Field of the state supreme court spoke to fraternity members on "The Problem Facing Lawyers During the War Emergency."
Seniors to Plan For Graduation
Guests at the dinner were W. H. H. Piatt of Kansas City, Mo., graduate of the School of Law and former football player; Judge Nelson Johnson of Kansas City; Herb Hoffman, president of the Phi Delta Phi Barrister Inn in Kansas City; Pat McAlister, magistrate of the Inn at the University of Kansas City; Walter A. Steiger, province president of Topeka; and Henry Asher, Forrest Jackson, and Clarence Gorrill of Lawrence.
Former Professor ★★★ High in Army
The meeting, Rankin said, is to start work on the senior class Commencement week activities by coordinating the organizing activity and making the necessary arrangements. Fred Ellsworth, executive secretary of the Alumni association, will speak to the group.
Senior officers and committee members will meet in the Eme room of the Memorial Union building at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, to organize commencement week activities for the class of 1942, Howard Rankin, senior class president, announced yesterday.
Rankin indicated that the meeting is to select a class project and vote on other measures has been tentatively scheduled for the first week in May. The exact time, he said, would be announced later.
Besides the four class officers, the class committees will attend the executive meeting.
Brig. Gen. H. J. Casey, former assistant professor of military science at the University, has been chosen by Gen. Douglas MacArthur to command MacArthur's engineer units in the Philippines.
General Casey's picture is on page 16 of the March 16 Life magazine.
Joe A. Boyer, sanitary engineer at the Fort Scott Water works, wrote a letter to the department of military science and tactics here and called attention to the picture and to the fact that Casey had been connected with R.O.T.C. work here, during 1925 to 1928, when Boyer was in school.
Boyer feels that MacArthur picked the right man for the job, and he says, "I don't believe that there is a member of the engineer corps of the time Casey was at K.U. that wouldn't want to be with General Casey now."
High School Speech Festival Here Tomorrow
The annual high school speech and drama festival sponsored by the department of speech and drama with the co-operation of the extension division will start here tomorrow and continue on Saturday.
About 23 class A, class B, and class C schools are expected to attend the meeting which will include one-act plays, radio dramas, extemporaneous speeches, standard orations, original orations, after-dinner speeches, dramatic readings, humorous readings, prose readings, and informative speeches.
One-Act Plays
One-act plays will be presented in Fraser theater. About six plays will be given by high school groups tomorrow afternoon starting at 2 o'clock. The remainder of the plays will be given Saturday morning from 9 o'clock until noon.
All radio dramas will be presented in the studio of KFKU. Groups will be given a chance to rehearse from 1:20 to 3 p.m. tomorrow, and productions will be given from 3:45 to 6 p.m. At 3 o'clock one of the radio dramas will be broadcast from KFKU, and Wyandotte High School will present a play on the air at 6 p.m.
After-dinner speeches will be given at a banquet in the Memorial Union building at 6 o'clock tomorrow evening. Following the banquet the school students will attend a staged reading of "Mrs. Moonlight," comedy by Benn Wolf Levy directed by Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, in the little theater in Green hall. The cast which read the play for the University several weeks ago will present the reading tomorrow. Dancing in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building will follow the play.
After-Dinner Speeches
Other speech events will be held in the rooms in Fraser hall and Green hall tomorrow and Saturday morning. The program is operated on a festival plan with each group being ranked according to ability. Certificates of award will be presented by the student activities association to the individuals or schools in the two top divisions.
22 Schools Enter
Schools which have notified the extension division that they are participating in the events are: Eudora, De Soto, Lansing, Hamilton, Linwood, Lyndon, Oskaloosa, Overbrook, Perry, Rossville, Stanley, Bonner Springs, Holton, Paola, Rose dale, Atchison, Topeka, Catholic, Lawrence, Ottawa, Shawnee Mission at Merriam, Wyandotte, and Haskell. The speech events are open to the public.
Puerto Rico Honors MacArthur
San Juan — (UP) — In honor of the latest U.S. hero, the San Juan Board of Commissioners has voted to change the name of one of the city's main thoroughfares from Calle Tetuan to "General MacArthur Street." The board also decided to make an as yet undetermined date "MacArthur Day," a school holiday.

University women are going all-out for war. Pictured above is a class in mechanical drawing being offered to second semester senior women. The class was organized at the suggestion of the federal government, concerned over the shortage of professional draftsmen for industry, to train women to take the places of men in war production. At left are Hampton White, and Horace Lamberton, instructors. In
the white sweater is Miss Doris Twente, college senior, president of the Women's Self Governing Association.
Fifty-three women between the ages of 19 and 67 years have enrolled in the beginning course in engineering drawing and blue print reading held in Marvin hall.
Sponsored by the United States office of education and directed by
the University extension division. the new class is open to townswomen as well as University students.
The class, which offers skilled instruction in mechanical drawing, printing, and blueprint readings meets two hours a week. One section meets on Monday and Wednesday and the other on Tuesday and Thursday. Each class has had three meetings.
Class of '17
Won't Lose Spirit
The class of 1942 won't be the only war-time graduating class on the Hill during commencement week this year. The graduating seniors will have an opportunity to learn from some veterans of a quarter of a century, the University class of 1917, how it feels to enter a wartorn world.

"We are limited on sugar; our next suit may not have a vest; it's a question whether we can buy a new plow to make a garden. But we can have a class reunion!
Oscar Brownell of Lawrence, committee chairman of the 1917 class, has issued a call to the class of 25 years age to celebrate its silver anniversary here on Mount Oread under a new set of war clouds, along
"The good old K. U. class of '17 was graduated under the cloud of war. If any class has to hit on a war-time for its silver anniversary we can take it better than the others. We're used to it..."
Glee Club To Record For Competition
Keith Davis, representative for Fred Waring's Pleasure Time national glee club contest, and graduate of K. U. in 1938, will arrive in Lawrence Saturday morning to aid the Men's Glee Club in cutting recordings at radio station KMBC in Kansas City Saturday afternoon.
The records will be sent to Fred Waring to be judged in the Waring-sponsored national glee club contest. The winners of each district will travel to NewYork City where they will be guests on Waring's regular network program, over which they will sing for the determination of the national winner.
Davis graduated from the University with a bachelor of music degree in voice. He was featured tenor soloist in the University Glee Club. After graduation his musical career included leads in musical comedy roles, radio experience over action WREN, membership in
Tony Pastor's quartet and the quartet of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church.
Davis sang for two years in the Aquacade glee club at the New York World's Fair. He joined the Waring organization a year ago, and with his former experience and the concentrated training that he received from the "maestro" himself, he is ideally suited for his mission here.
John Parker, owner-manager of Wiedemann's grill, who will leave for the Army next Wednesday, has disclosed that he will keep his dine and dance place open during his absence. He has made some attempts to sell the business, but as yet has been unable to do so.
Davis will advise and give suggestions to the Glee Club on points in which they request his assistance, such as the balancing of voices, dynamics, and microphone technique.
Lawyers Honor Dr. Burdick
A new manager for the grill has not been selected.

tribute to dictators? There is only
one answer: Buy U.S. Defense Bonds
and Stamps.
Burdick spoke on "Patriotism and the Lawyer," emphasizing a decision of the supreme court that a man is not fit to practice law unless he is truly patriotic. Following Doctor Burdick's speech, F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, read the names of law students who have entered service during the last year.
Judge Hugh Means of the Douglas county bar, spoke on his experiences in the first World War, in which he served as a colonel. He stressed the differences in army life between that war and the present.

Conference to End With Ball Greeks Gather on Hill
The problem, "The Fraternity and the War," was aired this afternoon when more than 40 fraternity men from the campuses of schools in seven states gathered in the Kansas Room of the Memorial Union building to hear a talk by Robert Hartle, assistant executive secretary of Phi Delta Theta, Oxford, Ohio.
The occasion was the opening session of the fifth annual regional Inter-fraternity conference being held at the University this weekend. The convention will end with a semi-formal
dance tomorrow night in Memorial Union ballroom.
Hartle stressed the need for Fraternity men, "To rededicate themselves not only to the ideals of their groups but also to the working principles and realities of such group living as the war emergency program intensifies. There will occur great changes in all social institutions, including colleges and universities.
"It is urgently necessary that all Greek letter societies adopt themselves sociologically and economically to such changes in order to justify their existence in the order of things to come."
Moreau Gives Welcome
Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law, former national president of Alpha Kappa Lambda, delivered the welcome address at the opening session.
At 4:30 p.m. the meeting recessed until the banquet at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Union ballroom where William Allen White, member of Phi Delta Theta and Kansas editor and author, will be the guest of honor. Following the banquet an inter-fraternity smoker will be held at 8:30 p.m. in the Men's lounge of the Union building.
The second general session will begin at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
Malin Hawkins' orchestra will play for the dance tomorrow night.

Those in charge of the class emphasized today that it will consist entirely of the development of physical fitness through calisthenics. A vigorous course is being planned, one designed to "make a man of anyone," Watermilder said.

And evidently most of the men at
the University of Kansas were not
too interested in what the fashion
creators were doing for the women
in their lives—knowing that women
would wear what they wanted to
anyway.
But those who were interested and attended the fashion show, saw a lot of bright colors previewed for the coming spring season—green, biege, a black here and there, and a lot of red, and white, and blue and more blue. They saw splashy prints, bright play shoes, and flashy red pumps. They saw three piece suits and two piece suits built for everything from the daily grind to very special dates, a pink free swagger spring coat to fling over gaytime or campus dresses, high rolled bright felt hats, swishing formals, figure cutting jacket ensembles, and simple dresses trimmed in frilly ra-

Kansas' Jayhawkers will open their football season next year against Bernie Bierman's Iowa City Flying Naval Cadets, definitely, Gwinn Henry, Kansas football mentor said this morning. . . . he big question is where and when. The teams will tangle Friday night, Sept. 18, or Saturday afternoon, Sept. 19. While the Cadets reserve the perogative to decide where the game will be played, Henry intimated that Kansas City might be the spot; the Cadets and Jayhawks have their eyes open for some city where large attendance will be assured. . . . Bierman is fresh from Minnesota where his Golden Gophers tucked another mythical national football title under their belts. Next season his Flying Cadets will tangle with his ex-team, the Gophers. The Iowa City squad also meets Nebraska, Nov. 21, and closes its schedule, Dec. 5, against the 1941 Big Six champions, Missouri.
It will be Indian scalp Indian when Stanford and Dartmouth clash tomorrow night in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium to decide the N.C. A.A. title. While Stanford squelched Colorado 46-35 for the Western N.C. A.A. crown last week, Dartmouth trounced Kentucky 48-28 to take the Eastern title. . . . Dartmouth won 19 of its 22 regular games to end the season tied with Princeton for Eastern Intercollegiate league honors. The Indians disposed of Princeton 46-38
He play-off for the EIL title, then downed Penn State 44-39 to reach the N.C.A.A. regional play-offs at New Orleans. . . . Dartmouth tallied a total of 685 points for a 57-point-per-game average during the regular season. Jim Olsen, who set a new scoring record at Dartmouth with 71 field goals for the season, is the Indian's pivot man on the offense. He and George Munroe averaged close to 15 points a game. To offset Stanford's average height of 6-4, Dartmouth has Connan Shaw, towering 6-6 and Olsen at 6-5. . . . Dartmouth's coach, Ozzie Cowles, was an outstanding guard and captain on the Carleton College quintet of Northfield, Minn., in 1922. Paradoxically enough, Carletton's coach at that time was Everett Cowe, now Stanford Basketball mentor. . . . Toledo is one of the three teams to have turned the trick of upsetting Dartmouth this year. This Wednesday Creighton led Toledo in the national invitation basketball tournament in New York for consolation honors. By way of comparison, Toledo downed Dartmouth 59-46; Creighton defeated Toledo 48-46; and Kansas edged out Creighton 53-49.

Newman's Take Tank Title
Beta's Break Record In 300-yd. Medley
By PAUL MOSER, JR.
When the splashing was finally stilled in the Robinson gymnasium pool last night, the Newman Club had stroked their way to victory in the intramural swimming meet. By placing at least one man in each event, the Newman's nosed out a strong Beta team.
final standings for the meet are as follows: Newman, 72; Beta's, 58; Phi Delt's, 37; Phi Gam's, 35; Phi Psi's, 32; Sigma Chi's, 24; Sig Alph's, 20; A.T.O.'s, 17; Delta Tau's, 15; D.U.'s, 15; Kappa Sig's, .5; T.K.E.'s, and 4; Sigma Ua's, 15.
The only new record established in the meet was in the 300-yard medley relay by the Beta's. The Beta team, composed of Robinson, Kraemer, Lillard, and Walton, broke the old record by nearly three seconds in the time of 3:03.5. The Newman club was second, also getting under the old record.
In one of the closest races of the meet Ellsworth Stephens of the Newman's nosed out George Robinson of the Beta's by a scant foot. Walter Jones, Phi Psi, finished third less than two yards behind the two leaders.
Burnett Case of the Newman club established two new records in the preliminaries; he swam the 50-yd. back stroke in 30 seconds flat to chop .4 seconds off the existing mark. In the 100-yd. back stroke his time was 1 minute 6 seconds—4.8 seconds under the record.
Displaying skill and grace Bob Bellamy, representing the Phi Psi team, took first in the diving event. The Box Score:

Henry Announces Football Schedule For Next Season
Basketball tournament, R.O.T.C. drill on Mondays, conflicting classes on Thursdays and bad weather have all contributed their share of grey hair to the head of Coach Gwinn Henry this spring.

But through it all Henry has managed to get his men in shape for scrimage this afternoon. In last night's practice a squad of approximately 20 men reported and passing drill was the order of the day.

HOME
Sept. 26, Marquette.
Oct.17, Oklahoma.
Oct. 31, Nebraska.

The KANSAN Comments...
Munitions Plant—Good or Evil
Two widely different points of view have been expressed in regard to the new $100,- 000,000 munitions plant to be constructed at Eudora. Each argument has its points and is worthy of consideration.
Lawrence businessmen, on the whole, seem to favor the construction. The University has, for years, been the chief "industry" of the town. Students have created the market for many of the leading businessmen of the community. It seems probable that the enrollment will suffer a sharp decrease next year with the drain the army will make upon male population. With a skeleton student body, Lawrence merchants would be hard-pressed without the workers that will be required to build the plant. They will provide a market, and a wider market than the students did. Prices will soar, and merchants will have an opportunity to recover from the great depression.
The effect upon the University, however, will be negative. That is unfortunate, for the University is a long-scale business asset for the town. It will be here, bringing several thousands of students to town, years after munitions plants and war-workers have passed into the limbo of forgotten signs of the times.
Next year students will be forced to pay higher prices for rooms, board, and any other purchases they are forced to make. It has been adequately proved in other towns in the state that the influx of great numbers of defense workers brings about a skyward trend in prices.
Defense workers do a good job well, but they insist upon their fun, too. Sedate townpeople who think college students are the ne plus ultra of wickedness and sin will have an unpleasant awakening. Bootleggers will probably blossom like dandelions. It is stupidity to believe that such boom-time sidelines as gambling and prostitution can be kept away from Lawrence. No longer will it be the cultural little city on the Kaw. Reno may gaze with envious eyes upon her mid-western prototype. The University will become a sideline, tolerated but not encouraged.
Let's carry this a bit further. With a little imagination, conditions might become unbearable. The better clothing stores may begin to show only the newest things in denim overalls and workmen's brogans. That would be hell.
And what of the sensitive seekers after culture who inhabit Mt. Oread? What will be their fate in this maelstrom of howling proletariat faces? They will either hole up on the Hill and, like St. Simeon Stylites, devote entire lifetimes to the pursuit of purity, or they will mingle with the crude newscomers, and by so doing will lose their inbred polish and deep-seated culture.
Ah well, progress necessitates far-reaching changes. Perhaps this is only one phase, one step on the stairs leading to a higher way of life.
High Schools to Change?
A new era in high school education has begun in American schools, and the successes attributed to it so far indicate that it may soon replace the present system, which has many deficiencies in regard to the needs of American students.
This new teaching method has been described as preparing students for life, rather
than for college preparation which high schools of today stress. Proponents of the plan argue that only one of six or seven high school graduates now goes on to college, and as a result the present system is inefficient. In this they have a strong point. The fact that we are now engaged in war adds strength to their argument.
The new proposal was presented before the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools by Dr. Wilford M. Aiken of Ohio State University. Dr. Aiken has just completed an eight-year study of "unconventional education" in 30 selected high schools which laid away the orthodox textbooks for such concerns as earning a living, working with others, and achieving a satisfactory home life.
College preparation has not been slighted in these experiments, and virtually all accredited colleges and universities in the U.S. have agreed to accept these students upon graduation; furthermore, they have earned a higher grade average in every college field except foreign languages. In addition these same students also earned a higher percentage of academic and non-academic honors. Finally, they had a better idea of what they wanted to do when out of school, and were more actively concerned with world affairs.
These results indicate the superior qualities of the new teaching methods over the old. Education in this country has long needed just such a change—now is the time to adopt it.

You Said It
To the editor:
Shouldn't the Men's Student Council vote itself dissevered from student affairs entirely? Then the members of the Pachacamac Senate and the P.S. G.L. Inner Circle can have their fun innocently these coming two years, voting each other chummily into grandiose titles. It's only fair the boys who've done the leg work shall have their party's share of offices. It's a charming idea that close little groups of friends shall share the honors among themselves.
Hurray for the self-perpetuating K.U. Reichstag, who'll sell you any campus office for two (P.S.G.L.) or seven (Pachacamac) dollars!!
MARK VIESSELMAN.

BETTY WEST
(Credit for this goes to Dean Sims—and his nose for news.)
Henry Werner, adviser to men, recently purchased a five-acre lot of farming land not far west of the campus. Saturday, overcome by the call to the outdoors, he and several of his men proteges went to the property bent on burning off its unsightly masses of weeds, brush, and thickets.
They saw that if they were to burn off the foliage the safe way, they would either have to walk around the hill or climb to the top of it and burn only one side of it. So—to heck with doing it the safe way—they lighted the weeds and let the wind blow it at will.
As the fire neared the top of the hill it ignited some thicker and taller brush. The men following along behind the ravaging flames were shocked by the springing up of two jack-rabbits who scampered off, hopping through the weeds a mile-a-minute.
But, they were even more shocked, horrified and stunned when a few feet more of burning flushed a couple of collegians—male and female. These scampered over the top of the hill in the general direction of the campus—leaving a bewildered Henry Werner and associate burners.
Credit goes this week to Professor H. B. Ivy of the department of physiology, for scaring the most freshmen, green ones. In one of his physiology classes the other day he was expounding on the touchy subject of vivisection, and relating bits of letters receiver by various animal carvers through the country, condemning them for vivisectional practices.
"And then there was one," continued Prof. Ivy dramatically, stepping closer to the open door, "that ended, 'Die, damn you, die!' At this point a little freshman girl walking by the door of the room peered at him smitten with terror, and practically evaporated down the hall.
This menace to study, this villain of balmy days, is both contagious and dangerous. oN one is safe. Anyone with an allergy to springtime is susceptible to the dream-provoking fever.

MSC Sends Army 200 Magazines
Two hundred current magazines have been sent to the army libraries at Ft. Riley and Ft. Leavenworth by the war-defense committee of the Men's Student Council, Orville Wright, chairman of the committee, said today.
The magazines were collected from various organized houses on the Hill as a part of the war-time program of the war-defense committee. U.S.O. organizations at both Ft. Riley and Ft. Leavenworth had written to the committee expressing the need for current issues of national magazines.
Wright pointed out that organized houses and individuals may leave used magazines at the check stand in the Memorial Union building, and be assured that it will go to some army camp. The defense committee makes a shipment every week.

In opening, Professor Chubb discussed the Rome-Berlin and the Berlin-Tokyo axes. He then described the Axis on the march in Europe.
Professor Chubb emphasized the following points as being the cause for U. S. involved in the European war. Hitler's invasions of Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, and Poland led the way for Italy to invade Albania. Then Hitler invaded Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France. Mussolini in turn attacked France and Greece. The Axis invaded Yugoslavia and Greece, and Hitler invaded Russia. On Dec. 11, Hitler and Mussolini endeavored to sew things up by declaring war on the United States.

traced directly to blandishing weather, which is typical of spring. Did you ever hear of a person having spring fever when the ice was an inch deep on the sidewalks? Did you ever see a case of spring fever when the temperature was above 100 degrees?
The answer is, "No." Only one type of weather (if Kansas weather can be typed) will produce spring fever. This type of weather appears usually about the third or fourth month of the average year. It is characterized by a surprisingly warm temperature, appear-

ance of green leaves and grass, clear blue skies fleeked with fluffy clouds in the daytime and at night—well, haven't you noticed?
Ounce of Prevention
A second preventive measure is to refuse to admit, even to yourself, that spring is here. Continue to wear your fur coat, boots, and ear muffs. Drink hot tea, and dash in to warm by the fireside at every chance. Everyone will think you're crazy. You probably will be, but which is worse—to be crazy or to be a victim of spring fever? In either case you're hopeless.
14th & Ohio
A Worrisome Thing
Since the treatment of spring fever is likely to be a bit drastic, a preventive will prove much more satisfactory.
The first possibility is to hibernate. When you have that feeling that spring is just around the corner, lay in a supply of vitamins and withdraw from all contact with nature. Of course, you may develop a bad case of indigestion, but you can worry about that later.
The most important measure in prevention is to keep yourself absolutely isolated from persons who are or who believe themselves to be in love. This fantasy of love is characteristic of spring fever and highly contagious to persons with certain weaknesses. Beware!
If, however, you find yourself already a victim of spring fever, you may do one of two things. One thing you may do is to jump from a fifth story window. In doing this you will undoubtedly break a few bones. This give you something else to think about—something to occupy your mind. For a few days you can think about the doctor; then you can start worrying about the bill.
---
If this remedy doesn't appeal to you, the only thing to do is to let the fever take its natural course. Go ahead—walk down lovers lane, daydream regularly, neglect your books, and be lazy. The fatality rate is slight, and you have a good chance of pulling through and living a normal life until next year.

To Announce Casualties Atop Mt. (Censored)
(By television to the UDK)
Somewhere in Kansas, March 27.—A communique from the Student forces at the University of (Censored) disclosed today that a blazing battle is raging atop Mt. (Censored).
Wih the coming of the mid-semester season, the Faculty launched their large-scale offensive, which experts and commentators predicted last fall. Since final week, in January, the Students have been taking it comparatively easy, limiting their activities mostly to a holding action, with occasional skirmishes against minor for- ays by the Faculty troops. broadcast
General Knowledge, and hi siide Major Subject, in an enemy broadcast heard here early this morning, expressed concern over the closeness of the struggle. These two have ruled Mt. (CENSORED) with an iron hand, ever since the House of Knowledge, and its allies, the Courses of College, successfully stormed and won the Hill generations ago.
Faculty Holds On
The Student armies have waged constant warfare to capture them, but these two forces, led by the General, and Major Subject, have managed to keep a firm grip on their ancestral estates overlooking the (CENSORED) river.
The leaders of the Student army, according to usually reliable sources, say that Commando raids against Faculty-held strongholds have been highly successful, and that apparently the main body of Student troops is also successfully accomplishing its assignments.
In a morale-building program
broadcast from the front lines last night, Joe College was presented as being a typical Student soldier. Joe's family has been vassal to the Courses of College for centuries.
Joe Expresses Optimism
Joe escaped from College (capital of the country of the same name), and now is fighting in the Student army. Asked his outlook on present major offensive launched by the Faculty, Joe said, "I tink we'll whup 'em. Dey ain't so tough, and wid all of us pullin' toedder, dey ain't got a chance. We'll moide de bums."
Student leaders echoed Joe's optimism expressing confidence that their army would come through successful, although nothing definite will be known before sometime next month. The extent of the tool among the Student troops has not been mentioned in any of the communiques from the general headquarters. It has been announced, however, that a list of casualties is being prepared, and will be released within the next couple of weeks.

Watermulder pointed out that this type of class is an experiment which takes the place of compulsory physical education, a popular movement at the present among American colleges and universities. He also indicated that compulsory physical training at the University next fall was a definite possibility.

Navy Men Plan K.U. Squadron
Three officers of the Navy, Lieut. Virgil F. Halliburton, Lieut. J. M Ranney, and Lieut. G. R. Van Arsdale have spent today in interviewing students of the University who are interested in the Flying Jayhawk Squadron now being planned by the Naval Air Corps.
The officers were in the Chancellor's office today to interview a large number of students. Although enlistments are not being taken yet for the squadron, the officers are endeavoring to answer all questions of students and to spread the word of the plans.
Two students, Joe Brown, College junior, and Bob Lee, College freshman, have been selected by the Navy as information men. They will be informed of all new developments in the plans for the Jayhawk Squadron and the officers request that students interested in the program being planned keep in touch with Brown and Lee.

DANDELION DAY? Faculty Leaders for All-Out War Yellow Posies Beware
Will Coach Glee Club
"Dandelion Day is an excellent idea and by all means it should be continued. The dandelions will soon be out—so what are we waiting for!" Thus spoke Henry Werner, Men's student adviser, yesterday.
Fred Ellsworth, executive secretary of the Alumni association stated, "Last year's all-out response to the business and spirit of Dandelion Day was gratifying. If the students will come out again this year in the same wholehearted fashion it will create a wholesome release from the tension caused by conditions this year and will be all to the good." Will Bloom Last of April
Miss Elizabeth Meguar, adviser to women, commented, "A successful Dandelion Day, like the one last year, is a good idea; it is well for the students to work together in this worthwhile way. Dandelion Day, with its program of work and play, creates a unified school spirit and certainly makes more beautiful campus grounds in the spring months. I hope the students will want to make the day an 'all out' project for K. U."
As to the possible date for the 1942 Dandelion Day—Associate Professor Worthie Horr, of the Botany department, stated that, "Unless we

Mixing real fun with the jerking up of dandelions, the '41 diggers opened Dandelion Day with a "Dandelion Prom" the night preceding the day of the diggings. The dandelions were massacred in the morning—8:30 to 12:30 and the afternoon saw street-dances, greased pig contests, carnival booths, and the awarding of prizes to the champion dandelion diggers.

Upon graduation, Davis' musical career included leads in musical comedy roles, radio experience over station WREN, membership in Tony Pastor's Quartet and in the quartet of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. He sane for two years in the Aquacade Glee Club at the New York World's Fair. Davis joined the Waring organization a year ago and, with his former experience and the training received under Waring, he is ideally suited for his mission here of advising and directing the contest record cuttings.
Charles Wright, senior in the School of Business last year, acted as Dandelion Day field marshal and coached the whole affair from the very beginning.
Dandelion King and Dandelion Queen, Bob Holmer and Mary Lou Randall, were crowned in the afternoon ceremonies. Holmer was captain of one of the teams digging
K. Davis, returning graduate and ambassador of good-will from Fred Waring, arrived on the Hill unexpectedly Thursday night and began drilling the Men's Glee Club for the cutting of the National Glee Club contest records. The record cutting began yesterday afternoon at radio station KMBC, Kansas City.
Davis' work with the University Men's Glee Club consisted of advis-
One University official, at the ending of last year's Dandelion Day answered a Kansan reporter's question, "Will we have another Dandelion Day next year?" with, "Well, if the student council wants it, the students want it, the dandelions grow again, the weather is good, and we're not all in the army, then probably we'll have another Dandelion Day."
Last year 93,000 pounds of the yellow-crowned invaders were wanked up, dug up, pried out, decapitated, and slaughtered by the 3,400 students and faculty members who whole-heartedly participated. Probably this first Dandelion Day saw a new type of cooperation inaugurated to the University—students and faculty members turned out "en masse" to take a spring day of vacation and to rid the campus of the botanical outlaws.
Davis was graduated from the University in 1938 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Voice. He was featured tenor soloist for the Men's Glee Club during his residence here.
have a wintry set-back and thus a late spring, I predict that the dandelions will be out in full bloom during the last week in April and the first days of May; by this time they should be "running wild."
Student Council May Act
As for the student council, Dave Watermulder, president of the MSC, said yesterday, "I feel quite sure that we can have Dandelion Day if there is sufficient interest among the students." Watermulder indicated that the Council will consider the question and probably act upon it at the Council meeting tomorrow night.
The students do want it, the dandelions are growing, the weather (we hope) will be excellent, and we're not all in the army. So, in the words of Dean Werner, "What are we waiting for?"

Frat Conference Closes With Dance
The regional inter-fraternity conference ended last night with a semi-formal dance in the Memorial Union ballroom, after a two-day discussion of problems facing Greek-letter organizations as a result of the war.
The conference started Friday morning with the registration of fraternity men from schools in seven states. At 2 o'clock, the call to order was given, and Harry O'Kane, secretary of the University Y.M.C.A. gave the invocation.
After adoption of the conference program, F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, welcomed the conferences. "How can the fraternity best fortify itself during the war emergency?" Paul C. Beam, executive secretary of Phi Delta Theta, asked the group.
In discussion groups Saturday morning, "The fraternity ye sus the dormitory," and "Better scholar" through your inter-fraternity Cc
At the banquet Friday evening in the Union ballroom, the guest of honor was William Allen White, editor and publisher of the Emporia Gazette and member of Phi Delta Theta. Mr. White predicted a dark future for the youth of America, but placed his hope in their inherent urge for justice and righteousness.

TEA New Kitchens On Display
The Home Economics club will give a tea for all University women Wednesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5 o'clock in the newly remodeled department, room 10, Fraser hall. No regular W.S.G.A. tea is scheduled for this week.
Since Christmas vacation the space provided for food and nutrition work in the home economics department has been undergoing a steady face lifting process, which is now complete except for minor details.
A new dining room unit has been made between the demonstration room and the unit kitchen laboratory. This room is done in shades of green, beige, and white. Two sets of walnut dining room furniture will make it possible for the foods classes to serve family-size dinners or teas for larger groups.
The old equipment has been removed from the west laboratory and a new unit kitchen arrangement done in black and white has been installed.
Already a number of persons have visited the department and have indicated an interest in the equipment.
Fire Marshal To Show Films
W. C. Tucker, of Topeka, deputy state fire marshal, will show three movies on fire prevention and fire fighting at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon, as a part of the program to reduce fire hazards at the University. T. C. Ryther, director of the University press, is chairman of the conservation committee, which is charged with determining ways in which the University can economize in coordination with the nation's war effort.
The three pictures, "Fire Extinguishers," "Fighting the Fire Bomb, and "Pearl Harbor" are being shown primarily for the fire wardens of the University buildings. Mr. Rythe expressed the wish that students, faculty members, housemothers, and townpeople would attend.
Applications for a position as mailer for the University Daily Kansan may be filed at the business office of the journalism department. Immediate application is necessary and applicant will be required to have some means of transmitting mail, either car or bicycle.

Uncle Sam Wants Me For His Buddy 'Bunny'
On the first of April I am leaving Lawrence and my business in order to serve in the armed forces of the United States. Just nine years ago I left the University to establish the Royal College Shops, these years have been made rich by the friendships I have made with students of the University. To say that I have enjoyed the associations and friendships, would be putting it mildly.
The Royal College Shops will continue to operate as it has in the past and I am sure that when I return, just as they do now, when students think of shoes, they will think of the Royal College Shops. I will not say goodbye, but Auf wiedersehen,
Sincerely yours,

Sidelines
by Alan B. Houghton
When Dr. Ed Elbel went to Tulsa last week to become associate physical director for the army air corps technical training command, he renewed a friendship of long standing. Elbel will serve as director with J. B. Miller who was phys. ed instructor of the South Bend, Ind., YMCA where Elbel played basketball in his high school days back in 1910 . . . Dr. Elbel later attended Miller's alma mater, Springfield (Mass.) College. Miller went to Tulsa as "Y" phys. ed. director, and Elbel soon followed as his assistant. After 14 years of outstanding years of service at Kansas, Dr. Elbel returns to work with his old boss . . . Laymond Crump of the Tulaa World terms Elbel as "one of the most reknowned physical education authorities in the United States. We'll agree with him.
Dick Goodlove, Ottawa University coach, may shed a few tears but "Phog" Allen, Jayhawk high-mogul of basketball will be happy to hear that Alton Wiley, who was the high school basketball scoring ace at Seneca last year, intends to be doing his shooting and rebounding for Kansas next year . . . He was slated for K. U. this season; he was on the campus ready to attend classes when his mother's serious illness cancelled his plans. Later Wiley moved to Ottawa where he played basketball for the Braves
Chicago U. and NYU dropped football without the students becoming too vociferant about the whole thing, but when the students of the Arizona State Teachers college at Tempe voted to forego the enjoyment and benefits of college football it was another story.

Change Date Of I-M Track Meet
Because the date of the announced intramural track meet would conflict with students' plans to spend the Easter weekend at home, W. H. "Bill" Hargiss has decided to run the meet April 7-8, Wednesday and Thursday, following afternoon classes, instead of Saturday, April 4.
Hargiss stated today that numerous students had requested him to shift the date so as to leave the weekend of April 4-5 open. He plans to have mimeographed copies of the meet events and schedule available to contestants at the intramural office by the first of next week.
Hargiss Smiles Over Freshman Track Prospects
While the draft and enlistments have made a decided dent in track coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss' varsity squad, he is still able to smile over the performances of his fresh thinclads.
Particularly outstanding among the yearling track prospects are Frank Stannard, Gene Roberts, and Bill Chivis. Stannard runs the hurdles; Roberts is a dash man; and Chivis doubles in the pole vault and high jump.
The freshman team is particularly strong in the half mile and distance runs with Dick Snyder, Gene Lee, Howard Ryan, Glenn Kappleman, Herbert Asel, and Jack Moore giving the longer runs a whirl.
Don Evans and Dorman O'Leary are conditioning for the sprints and the 440 yard run. Stanley Hansen is working out for the pole vault, and Ray Lednicky is practicing high jump.
Clarke Hargiss shows improvement in the distances and the hurdles. Junius Penny and Don Johnson furnish coach Hargiss with brawn for the weight events.
Fresh tracksters will make their cinder path debut in the all-school intramural track meet April 7-8. Hargiss plans to hold a varsity-freshman meet the week following the intramural contest.

Jayhawks Scrimmage Roberts, Palmer, Altman Highlight Spring Drill
Blocked by a horde of "Blue" team members, Roberts reversed his field behind the line of scrimmage and with excellent blocking by his teammates he managed to get into the secondary of the "Blue" team. From then on the show was Roberts all the way as he either eluded or outran tacklers to stage a seventy yard run to a touchdown. Channell kicked from placement in a futile try for an extra point. Late in the third quarter the "Blues" started a drive which featured Altman and Palmer as they skirted the ends and plunged the line for repeated yardage. Palmer finally smashed his way through the left side of the line for a touchdown. Don Johnson left the score tied when he failed in a place-kick for the extra point.
Long gains by Gene Roberts, Bill Palmer, and Harlan Altman highlighted the first intensive Jayhawk football squad scrimmage game, held on the field east of the stadium Friday, which ended 13-6 in favor of the "Reds." Approximately fifty spectators witnessed the game which is one of several that will be played on weekends during spring practice.
Two teams, the "Reds" and the "Blues," were picked from the squad by the coaches for the game. Substitutions were numerous with the whole squad seeing action.

Soon after the fourth quarter started Bob Barnes, who was in at center for the "Blues," was clipped, his injury being serious enough to put him out of play for the remaining part of the game.
Shuttling players from one team to another and using substitutes freely, coach Henry put two mixed teams on the field for the final quarter. Bill Kiene, sub end, caught a pass for the
"Reds" final counter. Try for point after touchdown failed, and the game ended. "Reds"-12. "Blues"-6.
Paul Hardman, Bob Githens, Warren Hodges, Dick Channell, Joe Crawford, Gene Long, and Otto Schnellbacher were all outstanding in their defensive play.
For the Blues: ends, Otto Schnell-bacher and Bernard Passman: tackles, Don Johnson and Warren Hodges; guards, John Herron and Gene Lone; center, Junius Penny; backs, Bill Palmer, Harlan Altman, Joe Roberts, and L. C. Dyer.
Grier Zimmerman, who until this spring has been playing guard and tackle positions, showed that he will make an able end on both defense and offense with a bit more experience at that position. Bob Dole, freshman back, looked good on several occasions while snagging passes.
Lineups were as follows:
For the Reds: ends, Paul Hardman and Grier Zimmerman; tackles, Jack Tenebaum and Dick Channel; guards, Lloyd Svoboda and Joe Crawford; center, Bob Githens; backs; Gene Roberts, Hoyt Baker, Alvin Hecht, and John Conley.
Adoption of the quarter system at the University of Kentucky will become effective in June.

Conduct Experiment To Save Lives Of War Wounded
Austin, Texas — (UP) — Indian tribes of Mexico, noted for quick recoveries from serious wounds, used a plant that American scientists today hope will end gangrene in war wounds and save thousands of lives in army field hospitals.
The plant has been revealed as Castilian Malva. An unnamed Mexico City physician called it to the attention of doctors at San Antonio, Texas. The Upjohn laboratories took up the search, and now Dr. Carl Albers, associate professor of pharmacy at the University of Texas here, is conducting experiments to determine how best to grow, harvest and cure the plant.
Castillan Malva is a small leafy plant which grows in Mexico, Texas, California and British Columbia. It is related to the hollyhock and hibiscus in the flower plants and to cotton and okra among the food and utility plants. Though new as a scientific medicine, it has long been used as a domestic remedy in Mexico.
It may be used equally well as a dusting powder, a salve or in liquid form. Physicians explain that its value rests in a power to arrest degeneration of wounded and infected human tissues. "The use of malva will revolutionize the treatment of wounded in this war," Dr. Albers predicted.
Soldier Is Movie Glutton
Camp Roberts, Cal. — (UP) — Pvt. Gilbert Roybal, formerly of Taos, N. Mex., plans to go to the movies every night for the next month and it won't cost him a cent. Roybal bought the one-millionth theater ticket sold in the camp motion picture houses to win a pass.

HILL ACTIVITIES IN WAR TIME
The War-Defense committee of the Men's Student Council has asked several organizations and will ask more to continue their regular activities during summer school. This action seems commendable because the summer session students should have some of the advantages which are offered in the winter.
In asking that Hill activities be continued, however, the committee has overlooked the present need for soft-pedaling extra-curricular work. The average student now is taking part in some phase of defense work besides his regular outside activities. He is carrying a normal schedule, or perhaps a heavier one. The school term is shortened, the work made more difficult. In addition, the psychological aspects of the war are bound to interfere with his work.
Many University men and women have said that previously they have made better grades and received more from their summer school work than they have in the winter session. They attribute this to the opportunity summer school presented of concentrating on subjects without interference of outside activities.
The continuance of regular activities, the introduction of defense work, and the presentation of more intense studies will increase the physical and mental burden on the winter session students, to say nothing of those who attend the summer session. Students repeatedly have been told that they must remain in school and obtain the most they can from their work. Under the circumstances, they cannot be expected to gain the most from their education.
Is the University to be an institution of learning or one of extra-curricular activities?—R.B.
---O--be the real underminers of French democracy large industries. He told of French armament firms which shipped guns and other munitions to Italy in their greed for profit right up to the time of the war, and of other great corporations who fought bitterly against curbs on their monopolies of essential war-goods. He did not point out that many of these same plants are now turning out arms for the Germans under practically the same management. Newspapers were doing that for him.
Here's one thing California doesn't have. A minister in Nashville, Tenn., holds the record for the longest sermon. His topic: "America Back to God."
PLACING THE BLAME
It has long been a pet superstition of the American people to place the blame for the fall of the French democracy upon the undefended shoulders of the French labor unions, Communists, and the 40-hour week. With this as the basis for their outeries, many American political leaders have been labeling these same three factors as the primary internal threat to our democracy. Last week such unsound reasoning received a blow that should, but won't silence it.
Leon Blum, the stoop-shouldered old former head of the Popular Front, was on trial at Riom for "war guilt". The penalty was years of imprisonment, possibly even his life. His only hope for freedom was to appease the German victors who were pulling the strings at the farcical trial, and what better method of appeasement could he have adopted than to place the blame for French weakness upon the labor unions which "decadent" democracy had allowed to exist, and upon the Communists whom the Germans were even then battling in eastern Europe? But what did he say?
He said, instead, that the 40-hour week gained by French workmen had increased production, not decreased it. He offered to bring before the court records to prove this assertion—an offer interestingly ignored by the court. He defended the loyalty of the French workers, and, with unbelievable daring, the allegiance of French Communists.
Then, suddenly, he named what he termed to
It was a declaration of faith in the common man, and at the same time a revelation of what greed can do to the money-mad. It was also a story which Americans should analyze carefully. It might contain a valuable lesson.—J.D.K.

Rock Chalk Talk
BETTY WEST
Two of the Rock Chalk Co-op boys who are not exactly catalogued as mental giants by their peers at the co-op, are Earl O'Connor and Bill Lane. Consequently, derogatory nicknames are in order. Earl is known as "Bulb," shortened from "Dim-Bulb," and meaning some bulb snatcher has grabbed his light. Bill Lane is called "Lane-Brain" for obvious reasons.
Newest matrimonial bureau about town is the Collegiate Digest. Wally Kunkel saw the picture of a five-foot-two red head in one of the recent issues of the Digest. This lovely goes to Park College in Missouri. Wallace wrote her, received an answer, and since then things have been buzzing right along. To date, he is squirring her to the Cakewalk, and he made a special trip to Park College this weekend just to see how she affects him at close range. Love by remote control.
Hurt and crushed is Phi Psi Tom Cadden who thinks he should have been appointed waste paper coordinator at the Phi Psi house. This mark of honor has gone to Upperclassman Delbert Campbell. Now Cadden is muttering from one end of the Phi Psi house to the other about discrimination against freshman.
New Dramatic Workshop on the Hill is the one being sponsored by Dot Schroeter and Prill Campbell at the Kappa house. They are the directors, actors, and the whole works, indeedy. Last week they produced, "A Bird In A Gilded Cage" to an audience consisting of Myra Hurd and Jean Fees, who were appreciative but somewhat taken aback by the whole thing.
Next week they are doing "Jane Eyre." Admission price is two straight pins or one safety pin.
You Said It
March 27,1942
To the Editor:
I was somewhat disturbed over Mr. Mark Viesselman's recent quotation of from $2 to $7 as the current price for campus offices. Lest this arouse any false hopes among the student body, I must say that I have never known of anyone being voted into one of these "grandiose titles" for such a tellingly small sum.
Respectfully,
TOM MANION.
"My Day" As Written By A Student Pilot
By FLOYD DECAIRE
"That's right; keep her on the runway—steady, steady; little back stick—she's off." That's the chant of instructor to student at the Lawrence airport where 30 primary and 20 secondary students are trying out fledgling wings, in the hope of someday piloting high-powered ships in one of Uncle Sam's air combat forces.
But it's different now than it was before the United States' entry into the war. Formerly it was very simple. "Anyone flyin' number 31409 this hour? questioned the instructor. No one said anything, so pupil and teacher looked at the wind sock and went
Now, it's an entirely different situation. A control tower and administration building have been erected at the airport. All planes, while on the runway or in the air, are under the strict supervision of the tower.
Before any flight can be attempted, the instructor must get a clearance form from the flight office. This clearance states just how long the fliers expect to be up, which ship they are to use, and over what area they intend to fly. Bob (the instructor) calls the tower, gives the number of his clearance, and length of time he expects to be in the air.
"Okay," says Lou in the tower, "we're using the north-south runway today."
Bob and Carl, his student, head for the ships perched in front of the hangars. Only after the clearance papers are produced to the satisfaction of the policeman standing guard over the hangars,are the men allowed to go near the planes.
Comes The Take-Off
Bob searches for wheel chocks; it is now compulsory that they be placed in front of the wheels on all-planes when being started, whether the ships are equipped with brakes or not. They pour the juice to 'er', and find she's hitting like a wildcat's kitten. Everything is set and all is in waiting for the signal from the tower.
There's the green light! Bob wiggs the control stick back and fortune moves the ailers and informs the tower operator that his signal has been seen. The plane is taxied down the runway to the far end, another signal flashes from the light-gun the tower, the pilot wiggles the stick in reply, and shoves the throttle in all the way. They zoom down the runway and the ship becomes light.

Cast Rehearses 'Charley's Aunt' For April 6,7
Rehearsals for the all-student production of the farce-comedy, "Charley's Aunt," by Branden Thomas, which will be presented April 6 and 7, arguing into action this week, Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech, said yesterday. Originally scheduled for three nights, the play will be presented only Monday and Tuesday in Fraser theater.
The University production of the play will be presented in the costumes of the '90's, the period during which the play was written. First appearing in 1892, the comedy ran four years at the Royalty theater in London. From that time the play has been presented by both professional and amateur groups.
The play, which contains 12 characters, is centered around the results of the failure of Charley's real aunt to appear for luncheon. To keep from disappointing guests, Jack Cheesney and Charley force Lord Fancourt Babberly to disguise as the aunt.
Based on the old theme of mistaken identity, the play was revived several years ago and gained new popularity when the movie version with Jack Benny as Lord Fancourt Baberly appeared last year.
Three new changes of scenery for the play have been designed and constructed by Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama, with the aid of his stagecraft class. Tickets for the production will go on sale in the ticket office in Green hall April 2.
Miller To Present Senior Recital Wed.
Miller will receive his B.M.E. and B.M. degrees in voice at the efd of this semester. He has been a member of the glee club for three years. This year he served as business manager of the glee club and has been leader of the Jayhawk Quartet since he entered the glee club.
Victor Miller, senior bass-baritone in the School of Fine Arts, will present a recital at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
The regular Sunday musical program sponsored by the Student Union Activities committee will be held in the music room of the Memorial Union building this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The program will include "Romeo's Reverie" (Berlioz), "Carnival Suite" (Schumann), and "Italian Serenade" (Hugo Wolf.) The program Friday was "Scheherezade Suite" (Rimsky-Korsa-off.

To Wind Maypole
★★★
On Horseback
Winding the may-pole on horseback will be one of the feature attractions of the Bit and Spur club show on May 1, Gayle Mott, manager of the K. U. stables, announced today. The show will be held on the intramural fields under floodlights, but a definite starting hour has not been set as yet.
Also on the entertainment bill is a balloon battle. Each entrant will have a balloon tied on his back and will be given a wooden sword. Object of the tilt will be to puncture other riders' balloons, which will automatically force them to drop out of the contest. The winner will be the last rider left with an intact balloon.
Jumping, an event of former shows, has been replaced by a steeplechase. Exhibition riding, driving, goat roping, and a children's show complete the program.
"All freshman and sophomore students of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will be expected to consult their respective advisors on April 7, 8, or 9th," Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College announced yesterday.
Underclassmen To See Advisers April 7,8,9
The names of freshmen and sophomores, together with the names of their advisors, will be posted tomorrow in the bulletin case opposite the entrance to the College office, 229 Frank Strong hall. The advisors' office hours will be put up later in the week.
University organizations desiring the mid-semester standings of their freshmen and sophomore members can gain the information only through the underclassmen making contact with his or her advisor at the designated time. The organizations will, however, be able to receive the mid-term standings of their junior and senior students directly from the College office—providing the Office receives a typed and alphabetically arranged list of the students whose standings are desired.
Dean Ulmer requested that "all freshmen and sophomores, regardless of how well they believe their scholastic standings to be at the midsemester time, are expected to meet with their advisors at the posted office time most convenient to their schedules."
Dean Ulmer stated that, although the mid-semester reports were being received by the Office at the present time, much clerical work must be done in the classifying of them. He also stated that it was for this reason that reports cannot be in the hands of the various advisors before April 7. The names of students who are doing unsatisfactory work are classified into three different groups. The warning slips which are to be sent to the parents of the "down" student are typed and ready to be put into the mail now but will be held back until the end of the advisory period.

The University string quartet, consisting of Waldemar Geltch, 1st violin; Eugene Ninger, second violin; Karl Kuersteiner, viola; and Raymond Stuhl, cello, returned Wednesday from a ten day tour of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas.
String Quartet Tours Four States
Concerts were given at Pittsburg and Medicine Lodge in Kansas; the Southwest Baptist College, Bolivar, Mo.; Little Rock and North Little Rock in Arkansas; Conner Agriculture College, Warner and State Teachers Colleges in Alva, Okla.; and Bethany Peniel College, Bethany, Arkansas. Concerts were also played in high schools of Tulsa and Hennessey, Oklahoma.
At Little Rock an audience of 3000 children attended a concert by presenting five pounds of waste paper for admission. This paper was sold by their school and the money converted into defense bonds. Among the numbers featured on the program was the "Indian War Dance" by the late Dr. Charles S. Skilton of the University fine arts faculty.
Colleges to Clash At Forensic Meet
The Missouri Valley Forensic League will hold its annual meeting at Kansas State College in Manhattan next spring, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, announced yesterday. This contest includes speech events and competition among 11 colleges and universities in the league.
Members of the Missouri Valley League are the University of Texas, the University of Louisiana, the university of Arkansas, the university of Nebraska, the university of South Dakota, Creighton University, Wichita University, Kansas State College at Manhattan, Iowa State University, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Kansas.

From the Sidelines—
(continued from page four)
Chicago U., has in turn swept himself from under football at Stanford . . . His bewildering "T" formation put the Stanford Indians in the Rose Bowl during his first year at the California school in 1940. On 5,000 paid admissions per game, Stanford can't hope to maintain the high caliber of football it has displayed the last two seasons. It takes money—and lots of it—to buy good coaches like Shaughnessy and good teams like all-American Frankie Albert . . . Shaughnessy pitches his gridiron tent at Maryland next year at a rumored $9,000 or $10,000 per annum. The Terripans won three of nine games last year, but if and when Shaughnessy starts bowling 'em over there, there will be no restriction upon the number of people that can congregate to see his model "T" in high gear.

DR. MARK A. DAWBER
B. H. C.
W. W. Davis, professor of history will address World at War students at 7:30 Thursday night in Fraser Theater on "The Role of Latin America in the World Alignment."
Ordained a Methodist minister in 1916 in this country, Dr. Dawber has held various religious positions since that time. He was once a missionary to the Indians in Canada, and in 1924 became professor of practical theory at Boston University. Fom 1924 to 1928 Dawber was superintendent of the department of rural work of the board of Home Missions.
Since 1928 Dr. Dawber has been the executive secretary of the Board of Home Missions of the Council of North America. The Council is a cooperative board of 23 Protestant denominations whose work on the home missions includes religious and social aid to the sharecroppers, Indian work in government schools, Christian colleges in the Orient, and the printing of Christian literature and study material.
Professor Davis will discuss the international stake in the countries to the south of us.

Dawber is author of two books dealing with the problems of the church in America. His headquarters are in New York City.
Burglary
$35 Taken
At Sigma Chi
Dawn thieves made their secon- raid within a week on a Hill fraternity house last night, when $35 in money, a 32-caliber pistol, and a valuable ring were stolen from the Sigma Chi house. The burglary was reported to Lawrence police to have occurred sometime between 2 and 6:45 a.m.
Sometime after 2:30 o'clock last Wednesday morning clothing and personal articles valued at $150 were taken from the Delta Chi house. This burglary centered in two rooms, however, while at the Sigma Chi house men in every room on both floors suffered losses.
All rooms which had been open were entered, a member of the fraternity said. Men started getting up as early as 6:45 a.m., and soon almost all of them were reporting losses. A 32-caliber pistol was stolen from one man, $11 from another, $6 from another, and a valuable ring from one member. Money in smaller amounts was taken from other rooms.
Comedy Cast Goes Into Final 'Aunt' Rehearsals
Play-offs in the bridge tournament began today in the Memorial Union building.

M.S.C. Wants To Dig
A cast of 10 characters is putting the final touches on the production rehearsals of "Charley's Aunt," faecial comedy in three acts, this week before presenting the play in Fraser theater April 6 and 7.
Play-Offs Today In Bridge Tournament
There will be no midweek tomorrow night, the Student Union Activities board announced today.
First presented in 1892, the play by Brandon Thomas centers around the old theme of mistaken identity. Charley Wykeham and Jack Chesney have invited Kitty Verdun and Amy Spettigue to their rooms for luncheon in order to meet Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, Charley's aunt from Brazil. Miss Spettigue and Miss Verdun accept the invitation, but the millionaire
Costumes and scenery for the play will be in the style of the ninties. Three scenes have been designed by D. Dixon, instructor in speech and drama. Students in Dixon's stagecraft class have helped with the construction work.
Donna sends a telegram saying she will not arrive for a few days.
Tickets for the play will go on sale Thursday in the ticket office in Green hall. Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech, is the director of the production.
Professor E. A. Stephenson, petroleum engineering department, attended the meeting of the America Petroleum Institute last Thursday and Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The two men will not give up the opportunity of declaring their love for the young women so they force Lord Fancourt Babblerney into a black satin skirt, a lace fichu, a pair of mitts, and an old-fashioned cap and wig. When this fake aunt is introduced, she immediately gains the favor of all. Conflict arises, however, when the real aunt arrives unexpectedly and explanations become necessary.
Defense Set-Ups
Calisthenics
Hill women are changing the place of their "daily dozen" from private boudoir to Robinson gym; but the men aren't interested in maintaining a trim figure, if enrollment in the MSC - sponsored calisthenics class is any indication.
Henry Shenk, director of men's section, said he was very disappointed. "I'd like to see a lot more out for it," he said. "We're going ahead with the class in the hope that more will join."
Miss Melba Schilling, who leads the women in their work-out, said that the women were showing their colors, and that the outcome is not evident from the first class.
Honor Mothers ★★★
One Day Stand
The classes meet at 4:30 Monday and Wednesday in the gym, and undertake general conditioning exercises for an hour. Yesterday the first classes met, with 18 of the 32 women enrolled appearing, and only 10 of the 21 men enrolled.
Saturday, May 2. has been set as the date of the annual "University Mother's Day," Miss Elizabeth Megular, adviser to women, announced today.
The yearly celebration will be promoted this year by a general committee, made up of representatives of various student organizations and faculty members and their wives. Student organizations represented on the committee are: WS-GA, MSC, Inter-fraternity Council, Women's Pan-Hellenic Council, the Inter-House Council, the Oreadettes, Jay Jhes, Ku Ku's, Sachem, the Kansan, and the State-wide Activities association.
The committee will hold its first meeting Thursday afternoon at 4:30, in Frank Strong auditorium.
This year the organized houses on the Hill will be requested to work with the committee in the endeavor to make the celebration a success.
Applications for a position as mailer for the University Daily Kansan may be filed at the business office of the journalism department. Immediate application is necessary and applicant will be required to have some means of transporting mail, either car or bicycle.
Members of both the Y.W.C.A.
and the Y.M.C.A. will go to the polls
tomorrow to elect their new officers.
Voting will start at 9 a.m. and the
polls will remain open until 5 p.m.
The two organizations will vote in different places. The women will cast their ballots in the basement of Frank Strong hall and the men will vote in the Y.M.C.A. office in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building. All active members of the organizations will be eligible to vote in the election.
YM and YW Will Go To Polls Tomorrow
Y. W.C.A. candidates are as follows: for president, Colleen Poorman, college junior, and Jean Brownlee, college junior; for secretary, Betty Pile, college freshman, and Kay Brown, college freshman; for treasurer, Marion Hepworth, college sophomore, and Joan Taggart, college junior.
Y. M.C.A. candidates for president are Paul Gilles, college junior, and Ted Young, college sophomore; for vice-president, Ralph Michener, college sophomore, and Walker Butin, college sophomore; for secretary, Art Partridge and Ned Cushing both college freshmen.
Council Favors Second Annual Dandelion Day
Three foreign students on the Hill will discuss their own experiences and ideas of post-war planning at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow on the Forums Board broadcast over KFKU.
The bill, however, provides that the "third-term" council will have the same powers as the regular group. If any council members do not attend the summer sessions, their places will be filled, for the summer only, by the political party which originally appointed them under the recently-enacted emergency act which suspended election for a period of two years.
The Men's Student Council decided last night to approach Chancellor Deane W. Malott with the proposition that Dandelion Day be observed again this year.
Council sentiment was not entrey favorable to the move. Some members felt that University students as a whole were not overly sympathetic with the continuance of Dandelion Day on the campus. The vote on the question was 12 to 7.
To establish contact with the Chanceller, Dave Watermulder, president of the Council, appointed a four-man committee, consisting of Laird Campbell, chairman, Willis Tompkins, George Worral, and Jack Poos.
The Council also passed a bill which will place the MSC on a 3-term basis. The bill provides for an active council during the summer sessions, which, at least for the present, will be concerned mainly with the work of the war-defense committee.
Dandelion Day was instituted on the campus last year by the M.S.C. University students and faculty members were divided into teams, and spont the entire morning exterminating the pesky yellow flowers from all parts of the Hill. Festivities were the order of the afternoon, and included a street dance, a carnival, and the awarding of prizes to the winning teams of the morning's competition.
The group set April 6 as the date for the installation of the new Men's Student Council. Names of the new members will be announced as soon as both Pachacamac and P.S.G.L have made respective selections.
Views From Chile, China
Marmaduke Grove, graduate student from Santiago, Chile, Mou-Hui King, sophomore engineer from Peijing, China, and Dew Mar, college sophomore, who has spent 10 years in China, will be the speakers.
Prof. W. E. Sandelius of the department of political science, will act as moderator for the discussion, "Foreign Students Look at the Post-War World."

DV(P) Men Not to Write Inquiries
Business students who have enrolled in the new classification of the U.S. Naval Reserve, the DV(P) classification, as probationary ensigns, are requested not to write to the Kansas City district office of the U.S. Naval Reserve for further information at present, the office of the School of Business announced today.
This classification offers the student almost immediate draft exemption until he completes his college work and is open to junior and senior students in the School of Business. These students need not take an accelerated study program unless they wish to do so. They will have no special duties to perform and no training course to enroll in during the remainder of their college work.
The Kansas City branch has no additional details on the subject yet, but further data may be obtained from the director of officer procurement, U.S. Naval Reserve, Washington, D.C.
A year of college mathematics including trigonometry is necessary for this classification. College students not in the School of Business, who can meet more exacting physical standards, are also eligible.

County Assistance Falls Over Two-Year Period
For a two-year period, March 1, 1940, to March 1, 1942, the Douglas county welfare department observed a decrease in general assistance of 221 cases. On March 1, 1940, there were 492 persons receiving general assistance; on March 1, 1942, there were 271. This number includes inmates at the county home, transients, and county patients at the Norton sanitarium.
This decrease of the number of cases receiving general assistance is believed to be traceable to several reasons. One unl- ing cause is many per cent
derlying cause is, many persons on general assistance have transferred to old age assistance, creating an increase of 77 cases in the two-year period. Transfer Assistance Cases
Another reason for the decrease could be the fact that some general assistance cases have been transferred to aid to dependent children. These transfers have been made when the head of the family is permanently unemployed by doctor's order. With transfers and new cases, aid to dependent children has increased from 48 to 90 cases in two years.
In surveying other trends it was found that the county farm averages 35 to 40 inmates. Include Trees.
Include Transients
The transient group is included in the general assistance case load. The transient program provides that men asking for meal tickets are sent to the Salvation Army. They work one hour for a meal ticket which is paid by the Welfare department. When families are stranded, they are cared for while here.
The county also gives aid through the food stamp plan. Douglas county was one of the first eight counties in the state to participate in the plan.
Rations Bring Sugar Thieves
Columbus, O. —(UP)— To tire thieves, Columbus police have added another product of the war—sugar thieves. Burglar ransacked the Grady market, stole $65 worth of cigarettes—and 100 pounds of sugar.
Holy Week Features Religious Play
Climaxing the Holy Week observance on the Hill "The Terrible Meek," a modern story of the crucifixion, by Charles Rann Kennedy, will be presented by the dramatic workshop in Fraser theater at 7 p.m. Easter Sunday.
The all-student cast includes Connie Moses, college sophomore, as the woman; Joe Nelson, college freshman, as the captain; and George Grindrod, college junior, as the soldier. Edith Ann Fleming, college sophomore, is directing the play.
Other Holy Week observances include the 8 o'clock worship services held every morning in Myers hall, and the convocation Friday at which Dr. Mark A. Dawber will speak.
Completes Law Supplement
Prof. P. W. Viesselman of the School of Law, has just completed his annual supplement to Hughes' "Federal Practice," a 12-volume textbook for law. The text is printed by the West Publishing company of St. Paul and is kept up to date by the addition of "pocket parts" which are attached in the backs of the books.

From the
Sidelines
by
Alan B. Houghton
Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Kansas loquacious basketball coach, really called his shot when, even before the Oklahoma Aggie-Jayhawk 5th district N.C.A.A. playoffs, he warme that N.C.A.A. officials would reap all the gravy. . . . As it turned out each of the eight district representative—Stanford, Colorado, Rice, Kansas Dartmouth, Illinois, Penn State, and Kentucky—got lots of traveling, lots of playing, and $93 apiece. Can it be any wonder that Allen calls the N.C.A.A. officials "money grabbers" wher from the $23,500 gate receipts from tournament play, the eight teams garner the paltry sum of $93.75? . . . To start the ball rolling in division of the spoils, the N.C.A.A. deducts 10 per cent of the net gate take. Then from the 90 per cent remaining the N.C.A.A. drains another 50 per cent. Game expenses and traveling costs are next deducted. What is left is divided among the participating teams. Of the total 55 per cent which N.C.A.A. officials take, none of this "pure gravy," as "Phog" terms it, is "earmarked for basketball." . . . To break big figures into more understandable parts, Allen explained that of every 5 taken at the gate $2.75 goes to the N.C.A.A. This leaves $2.25 to divide among the eight playing teams, which would be less than 30 cents per team. Kansas players didn't even receive a nice trip out of the ordeal such as did all the other schools. . . . The coaches give their time to groom a team into the N.C.A.A. playoff; the players eat, sleep, and live basketball and play their hearts out on the court. N.C.A.A. officials gather in 55 per cent of the take, and the teams get nary a smell. We thought the age of feudalism and servitude was dead.
Steve Meade, hefty Jayhawk football tackle, was passing out cigars last night, but there was no girl involved. He has just become "engaged" to the U.S. naval reserve. Steve has been accepted in Gene Tunney's naval physical fitness program. He is in the naval reserve as a physical instructor and will report for a six-week training period at Norfolk, Va., April 8.
Result of a successful basketball season are the miniature gold basketballs and medals which dangle from the key chains of members of Kansas basketball squad.
"Phog" Sees Better Baseball For This Year
More hitting power, a better infield and more outfielders all go together this spring to make as "Phog" Allen puts it, "better' prospects for a baseball team than Kansas has had for several years."
All of the men out for baseball show good form in the batters box and coach Allen said "Ray Evans, who is now catching up on his study after basketball season, is a natural hitter."
The baseball squad has been working out since the last few days of February. While the weather was cold practice consisted of throwing the medicine ball around and in playing hand ball in Robinson gym.
When the first warm day struck the campus the squond went out of doors and they've been practicing hitting in the cage through the chilly weather of the past two weeks.
A goodsized squad has reported for practice this spring. Yesterday there were 20 men practicing on the diamond.
The practice period was spent in hitting practice. Bill Atwell, left hander, showed good control in throwing the ball across and Kresie showed good form both in hurling the ball for batting practice and in hitting.
when he injured that Awen and Kresie had had enough exercise, Coach Allen took his stand on the mound and threw a few across.
Physical Ed Instructors Attend Emporia Meeting
The Kansas state health and physical education convention was held in Emporia on last Friday and Saturday, March 27th and 28th. Those attending were Henry Shenk Misses Ruth Hoover, Joie Stapleton, and Melba Schilling of the University physical education department; and Kathryn Schaake, Marge Rader, Bernadine Martel, Gladys Bitter, Evelyn Herriman, junior and senior physical education majors.
Shenk was selected district representative at the convention and Miss Hoover was elected to the physical education council.

Wayne Replogle, freshman coach,
stated that the scrimmage Friday was
an excellent workout and that he was
especially pleased with the way the
men tackled.
Henry thinks that the squad members looked very good considering the small amount of practice that has been permitted to the squad through unfavorable weather and late classes.
Gridsters Improve
Gwinn Henry spent the entire practice period in drilling his football squad on plays yesterday, as the entire squad didn't report for practice.
Another game will be played this week on either Thursday or Friday.
Concerning last Friday's game, Coach Henry said "The boys looked pretty good in the way they ran the plays and the blocking was fair. However, the scrimmage showed a lot of rough spots which must be ironed out."
At the end of practice Vic Hurt, line coach, indicated that a lot of work is going to be done on blocking practice.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
E.S. Jones Warns Students 'Must Pick Best Life'
"The older and younger generations must get together on the kind of world they want to have. And that world must provide equality of opportunity."
That is the special message E. Stanley Jones, after his speech Sunday night in the Community building, gave a Kansan reporter to take to the students on the Hill. Dr. Jones acknowledges the difference in endowment, but stresses the necessity for equality of opportunity, which he believes is the only hope of world economy.
Canceled Return to India
The well-known missionary has been lecturing in the United States for a year and a half. He was to have gone back to India before the war, but he felt he should stay here for the crisis. Now Dr. Jones can neither get back to India, nor can his wife and daughter leave that country to join him in America.
Dr. Jones frequently speaks from three to five times daily. This is not difficult, he said. "If you live relaxed, and meet today today."
Speaking to a crowded audience with over 100 persons standing, Dr Jones opened the Holy Week observance in Lawrence with his Palm Sunday service in the Community building.
Says Christ Was a Realist
Dr. Jones tried to prove that Christianity was not idealistic, but practical. Idealism, he defined as free occupation with and devotion to ideas. Realism, on the other hand, is free occupation with and devotion to, facts. Christ was a realist, who revealed the nature of the reality of God and the laws of the universe.
Every self-centered person is a self-destructive person, because he is living against himself, Dr. Jones said. It's not compulsory to love your neighbor, but if you do, you can get along with both yourself and your neighbor.
The best way to live morally is also the right way physically, socially, and economically. The only way for nations to get along is to practice the Golden Rule.
Dr. Jones listed the five enemies of social living as emptiness; self-centeredness; hate, fear and anger; and unresolved guilt. He gave physiological instances of the ability of anger to make ill health, and how love cures all evils and improves digestion.
Advises Remodeling of Lives
After asking everyone to leave who did not want to hear how to remodel his life, Dr. Jones gave nine steps to accomplish it. The first was to review one's life and its directions honestly; then reverse undesirable tendencies, return to Christ, renounce self, restore friendly relations, receive God's love, relate family and business life with the church, replenish life, and release one's personality.
Dr. Jones closed his message to
the United Church congregation by advising his listeners to take this word of Christ to heart and apply it: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Engineers Hear of War Chemistry
R. B. Semple, assistant development director of the Monsanto Chemical Company, St. Louis, was the main speaker of the evening. His topic was "Relation of the Chemical Industry to War Effort." Semple described the tremendous expansion of the chemical industry and gave examples of the work now being done in that field.
The School of Engineering held a banquet last evening in the Memorial Union ballroom. There were 130 in attendance. Toastmaster for the evening was Dr. Eugene A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering.
He believes that people will see the advantages in a sufficient amount to make fabricated houses play a large part in home construction after the war is over.
He also believes that synthetic rubber will be so exploited that after the war rubber of this type will be produced cheaply enough and will be of satisfactory quality to compete with natural rubber products.
Semple's speech was concerned with the correlation of present war industries with peace-time industries after the war is over. Dr. R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry supplied humor for the banquet in a five minute speech. Thomas G. Castonguay, instructor in chemical engineering, introduced the speakers.
Entertainment for the evening was supplied by A. M. Ockerblad, associate professor of applied mechanics, who gave an Indian club demonstration; and by Howard and Duane Canniff, student tap dancers.
The banquet closed with the group singing the alma mater and giving the Rock Chalk yell.

Jay Janes To Nebraska Meet
The local Jay Jane chapter is vice-president of the national Phi Sigma Chi organization next year, after holding the corresponding secretaryship this past year. Carolyn Baker, secretary of Jay Janes, was chosen by the Kansas delegation to fill the position of vice-president of the national group.
The convention program included a University theater play and an after-the-show supper Friday evening, breakfast in the University of Nebraska Corn Crib, a business meeting, and luncheon at the downtown University Club.
Students Speak at Weekly Meet
Lawyers To Argue Cases Next Week
Freshman students in the School of Law will act as juries in three practice court cases to be heard beginning next week, P. W. Viesselman, professor of law, announced today.
Students got a chance to do the talking this morning at the weekly meeting of the School of Pharmacy. Emery Josserand, senior, gave extracts from the book "One Hundred Million Guinea Pigs;" and the other senior speaker, Junior Gale, spoke on "New War Medicines." Jack Rowland, junior, had chosen as his subject "War Comes to the Retail Druggist."
The first case will be a civil trial involving rights to a temporary floor installed in a skating rink. Litigants are a lumber company, which seeks to retrieve the lumber, and the owner, of the building in which the floor was laid. The case will be argued before Professor L. T. Tupy by Harry Akers, Lloyd Kerford, Karl Shawver, and Harry Waite.
A criminal case involving a charge of negligence on the part of a motorist in a fatal accident will be second on the docket. Such cases are usually civil, said Professor Vieselman, before whom the case will be tried. Philip Dawson, Samuel Freeman, Milt Sullivant, and Harold Wilson are the attorneys in the suit.
A controversy involving contract rights will be last on the jury list, and will be presented by Milt Allen, Earl Hubbard, Charles Moore, Bill Overton, and Clyde Singer.
Senior students will argue the above cases, but second year men will engage in three cases bearing on appeals from district courts in which no witnesses nor juries will be used.
Art Fraternity Backs Display
Delta Phil Delta, honorary art fraternity, will sponsor an all-University art parade beginning April 19 and lasting for two weeks. In its hunt for hidden talent, the fraternity will display art in the lounge of the Memorial Union building. Students and faculty members who do sketching or painting or modeling for amusement may submit their creations for the display.
This year Iowa University is having its eleventh annual All-University art parade and they find that it is growing in popularity each year. Any type of art may be entered for judging, including pottery, woodcarving, jewelry, oil painting, water colors, penil sketches, charcoal sketches, ink sketches, and graphic process articles. All entries must be in by Thursday, April 16.
Posters advertising the parade have been made by members of Delta Phi Delta. Judging will be done by a jury made up of art faculty members. A ballot box for popular votes will be placed near the display; the merit system will be used in the judging. Each entry will be judged individually and not in competition with any other.
Entry blanks for the art parade may be obtained at the hostess' desk in the Union building after Thursday.

To our Easter prayer this April, will be added a very special prayer for America's legions of men in uniform. For those at their parents' sides in the Church of their faith — for those far from home, in flying ships, on ammunition-spouting decks and on battlefields around the world! May Victory quickly be theirs, and may they soon return to enjoy to the full that democratic way of life for which they fight!

Why Be A Joiner?
If you consult your Student Directory you will discover that the students in the University have a choice of forty professional or honorary fraternities. If you ask a student member of one of these organizations why he is a member, almost without exception, he will hesitatingly answer, "Well, well, it's an honor." These honor clubs range in size from Theta Sigma Phi, with six members, to Tau Sigma with forty members. The initiation fee may be any sum between two and twenty-five dollars. Almost all of them have some kind of insignia —from the Phi Beta Kappa key to the duck of Quack Club. Some are local and some are of national origin.
"I hate Pi Lambda Theta meetings. They are the dullest things I have ever sat through. If we have to have them, why can't they be interesting?" Such is student sentiment overheard in Fraser hall. "All we ever do it talk about money. I didn't join to be a financier." So goes the student opinion. "I just quit going to meetings because all we did was plan how to make money," observed a former University student, when discussing the status of honoraries. "All I ever do is go to meetings. I've been to seventeen of them this week. But the worst part is the money they cost."
If this student opinion is indicative of the general response to honorary and professional organizations, why support them? You don't have to be a joiner!
The students in the University of Kansas support the local chapters of these forty organizations. Students, why join unless you truly feel you will gain from it? Get out of the club unless you are content. If you stay in, quit criticizing negatively and put out a little effort toward making the organization worth while.
Ceylon: Key To The Indian Ocean
With a lull in Japanese air activity over northern Australia, military strategists are conjecturing whether the Nipponese will strike in force against Australia or push through Burma into India.
As the Japanese tide surges in Burma against the tiring, outnumbered British forces, the possibility of a concerted effort by the Rising Sun's land, air, and sea forces to overrun India becomes stronger.
If the Japanese are to gain control of the Indian ocean, they must subdue Ceylon, an island smaller than Ireland. This British Crown Colony, which hangs pendant-like from the apex of India, has a population of 5,500,000 inhabitants, 10,000 of whom are European. With its 500,000 acres of rubber plantations, Ceylon contributes to one of the United Nations most vital and insufficient war necessities.
Ceylon is the crossroads of Oriental sea traffic and has two good harbors—Colombo and Trincomalee. These have become immensely important to the United Nations since the fall of the British sea bastion of Singapore and the Dutch naval base of Soerabaja. Ceylon, which is the half-way house for supplies from Australia destined, via the Red sea and Suez canal, for British forces in Libya, must serve as the base of operations for United Nations naval craft which are patrolling the Indian ocean.
Trincomalee, or Trinco as it is better known, is situated on the northeast coast of Ceylon. It has a four-square-mile inner harbor which serves as the naval base of the Royal Indian Navy and the East Indies Squadron. The harbor is land locked and well fortified against either sea or air attack. Trinco can be used as both an airplane base and an aircraft assembly plant; dense jungles assure camouflage of the port's airdromes. Deep coves in the outer harbor will be of use to the Allies as seaplane and submarine bases. A railroad joins Trinco with the Indian mainland at Danushkodi, the southern terminus of the Madras railway; the ferry is less than 25 miles across Palk Strait to Danushkodi.
An exellent 180 mile-long highway connects Trinco with Colombo, which is located on the southwest coast of Ceylon. Colombo was rated seventh among the great harbors of the world during peace time. From here ships put out for Cairo, Capetown, and Calcutta. Colombo has two modern drydocks with engineering shops nearby; Allied warships can be reconditioned and repaired, as well as refueled, in this harbor. The port is ringed with big gun emplacements for protection, and the area is dotted with air fields which can be easily enlarged. The Japanese may be able to take India, but without Ceylon, the key to the Indian ocean, they can never lock the door to Allied supplies to Africa.

Fine Arts junior Marilyn Duncan is at present the object of the activities of Sig Eps Bob Stoddard and Alan Dougherty. Alan complained last week that, "He didn't mind competing with brother Stoddard for the dates with her—but he absolutely refused to act as messenger boy between the two." The break came when Bob asked him, while he was preparing to keep an engagement with the young lady, to tell her that he (Bob) would be by for her just a little earlier the next evening.
"Twas just too much for me to bear," sobbed Alan.
Pat Schmidt, Kappa sophomore, has the rest of the chapter buzzing with curiosity as to what her soldier correspondent "deep in the heart of Texas" means by addressing all her letters with "Patsy (Flying Fish) Schmidt."
Incidentally, it was whispered, she is going down to see this man in uniform soon—and is planning to fly back.

Fred Gades and Larry Guy, of the Delta Upsilon homestead, felt they had excesses of energy Saturday night and so converted the D.U. basement into a gymnasium. Their principal enjoyment came from swinging on the gas and water pipes running along the ceiling. Admiring audiences, Phil Fee, (also feeling energetic), decided to do a little swinging himself.
All went well with Phil's tarzanic capers until he tried hanging from the ceiling with his feet hooked between two water pipes. He swung from this position for awhile—got tired of it—tried to stop—but swung some more. His feet were stuck!
The chapter quickly held a meeting and voted on which would be the lesser trouble—sawing Philip off at his ankles or cutting down the pipes. They decided to pull on him and see what would happen. Luckily (for Phil) his feet came loose.
Holy Week Observed Through Christian World
Answering the question persons as to whether He W Passover, Christ made his triumphal entry into the city on Palm Sunday. The enthusiasm shown by people of the city as they went out to meet Him with palm branches in their hands is explained as the result of the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead a short time before.
The second day of the week was devoted to the cleansing of the temple. It was at this time that Christ drove the money changers from the church and then proceeded to prophesy to the authorities of the coming doom of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple.
Although observing Holy Week or the last seven days in the life of Christ throughout the world for the same purpose, the various churches and religions differ in their detailed interpretations of the traditional events and actions of Christ during the week before His death. Beginning with Sunday before the Day of Resurrection, however, groups have agreed that this period was one filled with disappointment, trial, and unending pain.
Tuesday is known as the day of conflict on which the authorities of the temple began criticizing the actions of Jesus on the previous day. Leaders began to plot the murder of Christ and to air their differences on the details of the action.
This discussion continued during the next day when the leaders were aided in their planning by the betrayer, Judas. Known as the traditional day of betrayal, Wednesday was the time when Judas made the final arrangements with the priest to point out Christ the next evening.
These plans were carried out on Thursday after Christ and his disciples had gathered in the Upper Room for the Last Supper. This day is known as the day of the institution of Holy Communion, and it is from this event that the modern practice of communion is taken. While

By VIRGINIA TIEMAN
Christ was arrested this same night and spent the rest of Thursday and the hours of Friday morning on trial before the rulers and authorities of the city. With the will of the people to kill Him, he was lead to a hill called Golgotha, or more commonly Calvary, and there was crucified. Thus Friday is known as the Day of the Cross.
gathered together with His friends, Christ told that Judas would betray Him and He also said that Peter would deny Christ that night before the cock crowded three times.
After the supper was finished, Christ went to the Garden of Gethsemane taking Peter, James, and John to a more retired spot that He might prepare for the coming trial. Asking His friends to watch while He went ahead to pray, He returned to the place three times only to find the men asleep.
Holy Saturday was the day Christ remained in the tomb, and Easter Sunday is known as the day of the Resurrection when the stone was rolled away and Christ returned his friends.

Troops Replace Tourists On Swiss Ski Runs
Zurich.—(UP)—The famous Swiss winter resorts—spots that used to ring with laughter and a babel of foreign tongues—are melancholy places now.
The foreigners who used to spend most freely, the English, American and Dutch, can no longer reach Switzerland, and the handful of princesses, counts and baronesses still able to take Swiss vacations spend most of their time mourning the good old laws, drinking cocktails in half-empty bars, dancing dejectedly
on luxurious floors they once complained were too crowded. Once in a while they ski.
Three of the most frequented Swiss resorts are St. Moritz, Davos and Muerren. Of the three, St. Morizt is the most forlorn. It used to be inhabited almost solely by rich and famous foreigners and the Swiss are persuaded to go there now, with difficulty.
The majority of St. Moritz's deluxe hotels are closed and those that are open, like the famous Palace, are almost empty. Its master of ceremonies, Billy Reardon, once a celebrated American dancer, is one of the saddest men in town. He will show you his albums full of pictures of bygone parties and celebrities while mournfully reminiscing.
"Gala" Nights Popular
The Cresta bob-sled run, which was used in the last Olympic Games, was not in use during the early part of the winter, and the dangerous Skeleton run, whose contenders were mainly Americans, is now used as a shortcut for small boys on ordinary sleds who wish to get from St. Moritz to Celerina.
Davos is a bit more lively, for it is one of the best ski fields in Switzerland. Even the Swiss patronize it. But the superb runs are empty compared with a few years ago, and the serenn funicular, whose cars are marked "25 persons up, 20 down," is lucky to have ten passengers in either direction.
There, too, hotels are closed and half-empty. One of the best bands in Europe, Teddy Stauffer's, plays to a half dozen dancers on week days in the biggest hotel, the Belvedere. But on "gala nights" the place is crowded with English, Germans, Swiss, Italians and French almost as though it were peace time.
Many of the guests seen in these resorts now are refugees, citizens of countries which are now over-run by hostile armies. They ski and drink and hope that the war will end soon, and wait. It is a boring existence.
Ski Tumulus
- Ski Troops Use Runs
In Davos, too, white-overalled ski troops vied with civilians for the use of the runs, though the unfortunate soldiers had to climb the mountains on foot while their competitors rode the funiculars.
In Muerren, site of the world-famous Kandahar Ski Run and favorite stamping ground of English students, things are little better. The biggest hotels are closed. However, the ski lift here is crowded, for the skiers who really wants to do some sliding frequent this spot. It is more difficult than St. Moritz and has no easy runs as has Davos. It contains no hotspots and, unless one skis there is little to do. Celebrities avoid it like a plague.
X Food is better in the mountains than in the towns below. It is also often possible to obtain rationed articles of food and clothing or soap without benfit of coupons. This is partly because the peasants turn in their coupons to the stores for a consideration, and the stores "lend" them to guests who lack them.
Bayles Is Co-Author of Book on Better Living
"Biology For Better Living" has recently been published by Ernest E. Bayles, associate professor of education and instructor in the theory and practice of teaching here at the University.
Professor Bayles wrote the book in co-authorship with R. Will Burnett, assistant professor of education at Stanford University and director of science curriculum at Menlo (Calif.) school and junior college. Burnett is a University graduate.
College Gets Collection of Rare Bibles
State College, Pa. — (UP) — A collection of Bibles and other religious books at Pennsylvania State College has been augmented by the addition of 94 volumes of rare religious works.
The new addition, comprising a collection secured from the estate of the late Charles S. Plumb, Ohio State University professor, includes six Bibles published before the year 1501.
Three of the Bibles of the collection were printed before Columbus discovered America, while 18 came off the press before the birth of Shakespeare, college library officials said.
The collection is considered one of the outstanding of its kind in the country. The newly acquired Plumb collection was presented to the library by Claude G. Aikens of State College in memory of his father, Charles T. Aikens, president of Susquehanna University for 22 years.
Intermediate Plane Bridges Gap For Pilot
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio — (UP) — To bridge the huge gap between flying a single engine army trainer and a multi-engine A.A.F. service craft, the Air Corps has designed a new type of trainer called the twin-engine transition plane.
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio — (UP)
Two related types have been in service since 1941 — the multi-engine pilot-trainer, and the navigator-bombardier trainer.
The new ship is a low wing monoplane with a 40-foot wing span. It has a gross weight of 5,125 pounds, and is powered with two radial engines in the 270 horsepower class, fitted with two-blade constant speed propellers
With these new transition trainers, the prospect is considerably brighter for training pilots and crews for multi-engine planes in sufficient numbers for the air force expansion program.
Standard equipment includes a full complement of training instruments, and conventional retractable landing gear. Instructor and student pilot sit side by side. These planes have the same general performances and operation characteristics of the big war planes.
Vela Addresses Spanish Club
Dr. David Vela of Guatemala will arrive in Lawrence today from Oxford, Ohio. He is to speak to the Spanish club tomorrow afternoon in room 113 of Frank Strong hall.
Dr. Vela is a Guatemalan anthropologist and publisher of El Imparcial. He is a professor at the University of Guatemala and also a frequent commentator in the Guatemalan press on international affairs. He states that wholehearted cooperation of the Americas is needed in defense of democracy. He is also an authority on the customs and history of the Central American Indian and he intends to make a tour of the southwest before leaving the United States.
He will leave Lawrence Thursday for Santa Fe, N.M.
Announce Openings for Joyhawker Positions
Applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the Jayhawker magazine for next year may now be made at the Jayhawk office in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building. Jim Surface, editor of the Jayhawker, has announced.
Surface also specified that the applications must be in by Friday. April 3.
Interested persons should consult either Surface or Duane Smith, business manager.
Earth Mounds Probably Old Gopher Homes
Seattle — (UP) — Peculiar earth mounds scattered over the Tenimo prairie near Olympia have long been believed to be the work of pre-historic people who roamed Western Washington many centuries ago.
The new theory is advanced by Victor B. Scheffer, lecturer in forestry, and Walter W. Dalquest, fellow in zoology, at the university.
Now two University of Washington scientists have discovered evidence which leads them to believe the mounds are simply "apartment houses" erected by industrious pocket gophers over thousands of years.
They theorize that a mound starts with intensive burrowing by gophers in one spot. The burrowing loosens the soil and encourages vegetation. This in turn causes other gophers to continue their activities in the same spot. Thus a series of gopher mounds are piled one on the other, making the large mound after many years.
They claim that throughout Western Washington wherever mounds are found, there also are signs of gophers.
G. W. Bradshaw, associate professor of civil engineering, will present an illustrated lecture outlining the main features of local civilian defense at the Armory, at 8:15 p.m., April 2.
Scheffer and Dalquest, however, found no gophers on the Tenimo prairie at the present time. They believe that some pestilence, or a drought, or possibly a grass fire, must have wiped out the community.

Masculine Precedent Broken
Claremont, N.H. - (UP) - Marjorie A. Charrin, town clerk of this village, is the first woman to hold the office as well as the youngest clerk in the town's history. She succeeds her father who served a four-year term.
Professor Bradshaw has recently returning from a training course in civilian defense at New York University.
A new milk-dispenser has been set up alongside the coca-cola machine at Gogebie Junior college, Ironwood, Mich.
Engineers Cancel Spring Exhibit
The School of Engineering and Architecture will not hold its annual spring exhibition this year, according to J. O. Jones, assistant dean of the School. He attributed the cause to the "uncertainties of the times."
Ninety-one naval R.O.T.C. cadets at the University of Texas will make a cruise this summer with ships of the gulf sea frontier command.

The flight of ducks, long used to the army flying field as a game preserve, moved in and took possession of the airport, grounding army planes.
The invaders were routed when army and game officers armed with sawed-off shotguns blasted the ducks into hasty retreat. But they returned every time the watchers relaxed.
Army officials predict they'll have to remain on the alert until the flock goes north to summer grounds.
