Because the advertising and publishing schedule of the University Daily Kansan was made last fall under the assumption that there would be an Easter vacation, there will be no paper tomorrow and Sunday. Publication will be resumed next Tuesday as usual.
The organized group has a membership of approximately 50 women. Other organized houses may join the Oreadettes; however, the membership of the group will be limited to 100 women. The group is planning to hold an open house April 17 as its next social activity.
$2000 Blast Jars Engine Laboratory
An explosion resulting in damages of approximately $2,000, according to a statement made today by J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, occurred at noon yesterday in a small underground oil storage shed about 45 feet west of the University mechanical engineering laboratory. The blast was believed to have been caused by gas escaping from a broken main.
Dean Jakosky said that a power shovel excavating near a heat tunnel which lies between the storage shed and the Mechanical Laboratories, had broken a two-inch high pressure gas line running northward.
gas line running northward from the heat tunnel.
An explosion resulting in damages Jakosky said, had evidently seeped along the pipe into the tunnel and thence into the laboratory building, where it ignited due to the fire under the high pressure boiler in the mechanical laboratory building.
Water colors of eight artists will be on display in Thayer museum for the next two weeks. The eight are Margaret Huntington Boehner, Fessie Bone Charman, Montague Charman, Catharine E. Condon, William G. Evans, Marjorie S. Garfield Ralph R. Laidlaw, and Ruth H. Lee, all members of the College of Fine Arts of Syracuse University.
Remember Pearl Harbor! Remember it every pay day! Buy U.S. Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps.
Water Art On Exhibit At Thayer
The force of the explosion liftee and wrecked a 15-ton cement slab which covered the shed. The steel door was blown off its hinges and hurled against a wooden box car over 30 feet away with such force that it dented and marred the side of the car.
In the north gallery of the museum is another show of oils and water colors by John Salter.
the majority of the pictures are landscapes, a few flower studies. "The Three Little Pigs," a fantasy by Margaret Boehner, is one of particular interest.
Although classes were in session, and windows were shattered on the west side of the building, no one was injured. Some windows on the north side and one window in Marvin hall were also broken by the blast.
Carmen Will Bring Hundred Stars to Hoch
"Carmen" will be brought to Hoch auditorium Wednesday night by the San Carlo traveling company of over 100 people, including operatic stars, in the principal roles, members of the chorus, the ballet, and symphony orchestra.
The San Carlo group comes to the campus from Salt Lake City, Pueblo, and leading cities in the west. The only other stop in Kansas will be made in Wichita.
To accommodate the orchestra, which will sit on the main floor of the auditorium, a few rows of seats will be moved from the front, reducing the number of reserved seats available for sale in this section.
Tour Starts in Washington
The current transcontinental tour of the San Carlo Opera company was begun in the nation's capital on February 1, with a week of repertoire. The patrons and patronesses of this the 31st annual tour, include Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Fiorello H. La Guardia, Mr. and Mrs. Paul McNutt, the ambassadors of Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Chile, and the ministers of Costa Rica and Paraguay.

Coe Glade, the "Carmen" of the Chicago Opera for several seasons, will play the same role, that of the seductive cigarette girl, in the San Carlo Opera Company's performance of Bizet's greatest opera. Miss Glade has a Spanish type of beauty, which, coupled with her mezzo-so-prano voice, make her what critics call "an ideal Carmen."
Other well-known singers in the opera are Sydney Rayner of the Metropolitan Opera in the role $a^c$
Pachacamac MakesMcKale MSC Prexy
Vernon McKale, engineering junior, was selected last night to hold the office of president of the Men's Student Council for next year, thus becoming the first MSC president to serve under the emergency-setup recently established by the Council.
McKale was selected at a meeting of the Society of Pachacamac last night under the provisions of the act which suspends Hill elections for a period of two years. P.S.G.L. will have the right to select the president of the Council next year, and in this same way all Council positions and men's class offices will be filled alternately by the two political parties, each party filling the same number of offices each year.

Dandelion Day
Awaits Malott
Dave Watermuldur, president of the Men's Student Council, is fairly certain there will be a 1942 Dandelion Day.
Said Watermulder: "Of course we can't do anything until the Chancellor returns from Boston the first of the week, but Dean Werner and Raymond Nichols are in favor of it, and a joint committee of the two student 'ouncils will meet the first of next week to make plans."

Campus Society at Minimum As Easter Weekend Nears
With fewer students spending Easter at home this year, Lawrence churches are expected to be full this Sunday. Having no vocation has not driven the Easter spirit from Hill men and women.
In accordance with the deep-felt significance Easter has this year, campus social activities will be at a minimum this weekend.
The war will not stop the Easter parade, and women will don their outfits of light and springy colors on Sunday. As yet there are no priorities on Easter bunnies, and they undoubtedly will be in full swing Saturday
night.

No Easter Vacation Lonesome Hare
By Forest Hashbarger
There has been no little griping on the Hill about the cancellation of the Easter vacation, said to be necessary because of the war program. We are not the only ones affected by this policy, and students at other institutions, though they are also muttering in their beards, are accepting their fate as a necessary evil.
Attitudes toward the loss of spring vacation swing from one extreme to the other.
The students at the University of Indiana are screaming because the beginning of their vacation has been moved up to start six hours earlier than scheduled. It seems that they had been cramming to make a good impression in their Thursday classes, and now all that work is gone for naught.
Dorsey at Purdue
At Purdue University, Tommy Dorsey was a welcome substitute as a temporary parole from studies. Saturday night he played for a convocation from 7:30 until 9:00. General admission required identification passports and 50c worth of defense stamps. For a $1.10 ticket and another 50c worth of stamps, swingers danced to the music of the "Sentimental Gentleman."
University of Oklahoma students will have a vacation from at least one Saturday class. One professor held her class last night, so her students could have Saturday off. A move is being made to allow all students a like chance to get out of weekend classes.
Dance is Traditional
Unkindest news of all is that the Aggies at Manhattan will have their vacation, beginning tomorrow noon. But then___?
Tradition at the University of Virginia "demands" that the weekend of Easter week begin with a dance on Thursday night, so today was the last of school for this week.
Here's that other extreme: 500 students at the University of California got together and raised a bit of noise last Thursday, after President Robert Gordon Sproul announced that the Easter bunny would have to find other playmates. Students at the Los Angeles branch decided it would be "childish" to mimic the Berkeley students, when they learned that Sproul decree would also apply to them.
Lawyers vs. Engineers Again
Among other things, the struggle on the lawyer-engineer front distracted the attention of Michigan University students from such uneventful things as Easter vacation. A strong force of lawyers swiped the giant slide rule the engineers hung in the Union ballroom an hour before their Slide-Rule Ball last Saturday.
Unable to find the slide-rule, the engineers hung a dummy in the ballroom, which they identified as "the lawyer who stole our slide-rule."
"An Open Letter to the Engineers"—
Tuesday, the lawyers issued this challenge to the engineers:
"Whereas it has come to pass that the most sacred symbol of your craft has been taken from under your very noses, and inasmuch as such incident has proven beyond all doubt that the mind of one lawyer is infinitely mightier and greater than all the numbers of the engineers added together, we, the undersigned, do publicly challenge each and every engineer to find and retrieve the slide-rule that was delivered by and to us out of your portals on Friday, March the twenty-seventh in the year nineteen hundred and for two.
Pour It On
"If you cannot find it you are admitting to the world as well as to yourselves, that your mathematics, your physics, and your mechanics are to no avail when it comes to solving what to you is an insurmountable problem which we coected in our spare moments. And even if you find it, if you cannot recover it you will be forced to concede that you, who have prided yourselves on the practicality of your creed, are as meaningless as the false dogma that you think makes you necessary to the world
"Believing, therefore, that without this useless item, which serves as a perpetual crutch for you to pry yourself into a niche of society, you cannot function in our daily affairs even now, we say unto you, in the style of Daniel Webster, 'Until the lawyer onlightens you, you will forever remain ignorant.'"— "The Lawyers."
Eastwood Speaks on Art Display in Topeka Tonight
Raymond Eastwood, associate professor of drawing and painting, will speak tonight at the Topeka Community Art Center in connection with his exhibition of paintings currently displayed there.
Many of these paintings, together with part of the exhibition displayed during March in Kansas City, will be shown at Spooner Thayer museum in May.
Discuss Hope For Post-War Planning
That post-war planning will not be difficult if all countries wor ktogether for democratic ideals was the decision reached last night by University students from foreign countries whose discussion, a Forums Board program was broadcast over KFKU at 9:30.
Those wh oparticipated were Marmaduke Grove of Santiago, Chille, Mou-Hui of Peking, China, and Dew Mar, who spent 10 years in China. W.E. Sandelius, professor of political science, was moderator for the discussion.
Senior Committee Duties Assigned
Senior committee members met in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building at 3:30 Thursday afternoon to discuss the duties of the various committees during the next few weeks of school.
Largest issue discussed at the meeting was that of the sales campaign for senior announcements and invitations.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association, outlined the duties of the committees, after which committees were assigned their duties.
The Memorial committee will meet late next week to hear suggestions for class gifts to the University.
Miller Brothers Take Bridge Tourney Opener
Brothers Clarence and Malecolm Miller emerged winners of Tuesday night's playoffs in the first round of the spring bridge tournament in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building. Charles Owsley and Bob Stewart, junior engineers, tied with Frank Coulter and Bob Love, college freshman, for second place in this round.
Other players in the Tuesday playoffs were Mary Adams, fine arts junior; Virginia Cochener, fine arts freshman; Bob Plumb, college junior; Bill Stowits, pharmacy freshman; Jack Burns, college freshman; and Duane Smith, college sophomore.
The second round of the tournament will be played tonight in the Memorial Union building. The tournament is sponsored by the Student Union Activities committee.

Fort Worth, Tex. (UP).—Cotton tweed stockings and shoes which are more simple and less colorful are in prospect for women this year, according to predictions of Esther Lyman, merchandise editor of Harper's Bazaar.
Speaking before a recent South-west shoe convention, Miss Lyman displayed samples of a new lisle hose, cross-dyed in two colors to give the appearance of tweed. She said that women would use them for work, country and casual wear, and that they will be substituted to a great extent for silk and nylon.

The fashionable shoe for women next spring will be a step-in model with medium to low heels, and sandals with ankle straps. The colors will range from navy blue to neutral biege and gray.
Victor Miller Gives Senior Voice Recital
Victor Miller, senior in the School of Fine Arts, presented his senior voice recital last night in Frank Strong auditorium. Miller, a bass-baritone, is a pupil of Joseph Wilkins.
Miller opened his program with two classical Italian songs; Calda's "Come Raggio Di Sol," and Seecchi's "Lungi Dal Caro Bene." "Sweet Nymphe" of Morley's was followed by four German songs: Schubert's "Der Wanderer" and "Aufenthalt," Brahm's "Wie Melidien Zieht Es Mir," and Strauss' "Dedication."
The evening's operatic aria was "Vision Fugitive" from Massenet's "Herodiade." Miller's last selections were four French and four English songs.

From the
Sidelines
by
Alan B. Houghton
Enough to make any coach despair:
From Kansas' track team, weakened by draft and enlistment, have been subtracted three men who were sure bets to pile up the points for coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss. . . . A few weeks ago Don Mason, state high school pole vault champ from Lyons, dropped school. He cleared the bar at 12 feet 3 inches in high school and was slated for bigger things in college. . . Chuck Eberhardt, brother of Fred who runs the quarter and half for Kansas, returned from Harvard this fall to enroll at the University, but second semester found him back at the eastern school. In his sophomore year of high school, he ran on the Salina team, which established a national interscholastic mile relay record. He was also a 440 dash winner in the high school division of the Kansas relays. Running this semester on Harvard's mile relay, tie has blazed through three quarters each under the 50-second mark.
... Norris Feidler, Enterprise high state discus champ, is the third high school satellite that failed to become a track star for Kansas.
Oklahoma A. and M. proved conclusively last Tuesday night by a 44-35 win over Oklahoma on a neutral court that Kansas is the rightful ruler of the N.C.A.A. fifth district. The Jayhawkers, representing the Big Six, downed A. and M. of the Missouri Valley conference 32-28 on a neutral court to take the district title.
needed to cover the needle.
... On the basis that Kansas and Oklahoma were tied in games won and lost in Big Six competition and because the Jayhawkers and Sooners had split their two game series, Bruce Drake, pretender to the N.C.A.A. throne, and his Sooners moaned that they had as much right to meet A. and M. for the crown as did Kansas. ... Kansas got the nod however, on its offensive-defensive record. ... Oklahoma did get to meet A. and M. again—but not in the playoffs. The result: Iba's Cowboys soundly thumped Drake's struggling Sooners. This season Kansas won two out of three games from Oklahoma A. and M. and Oklahoma A. and M. downed Oklahoma twice out of three tries.

Freshmen Begin Baseball Practice
Baseball coach Forrest C. Allen issued the first call for fresh baseball players to report Tuesday. He asked that those who wish to try for a freshman numeral leave their names at room 105 Robinson gymnasium and report to him or Knute Kresie at the east side of the stadium.
num.
Allen said that he plans to practice the freshmen with the varsity baseball squad this year. He expects to stage varsity-fresh games later in the season.
Although this was Allen's first call for fresh baseballers, six yearlings have already reported. They are Mark McLain, pitcher and 1st base; Bill Phillips, infield; Paul Carpenter, infield; Larry Hickey, outfield; Al Kistner, catcher; and John Herron, infield.
May Have Practice With Haskell Nine
Looking forward to Kansas' opening baseball game against Kansas State at Manhattan April 10. Coach "Phog" Allen hopes to have his nine scrimmage Haskell a game before meeting the Aggies.
"Regular games are going to be played in practice," said Allen, "and I wish that all freshmen who are interested in baseball would report to me or to Knute Kresie."
Coach Allen said that the squad is made up of young members but they look good. Much of the practice time has been given over to hitting but as soon as the diamond is in better shape regular scrimmage is to start.
At present the diamond shows the effects of the winter weather but with warm days here it will receive a thorough dragging and a sprinkling. "Then we'll get a chance to have some good intensive fielding practice," the coach declared.
Allen is enthusiastic over the fact that there are several good left-handed hitters on the squad this spring.

The Jayhawk court men wrapped up another profitable basketball season by choosing an all-Big Six opponent team, an all opponent quintet exclusive of conference talent, the best coached and most popular

600 Chapels Await- Special Easter Services For U.S. Armed Forces
More than one million men in uniform will attend special services being planned for all army units on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, April 3 and 5, the office of the Chief of Chaplains reported today to the War Department.
Although this Easter finds 604 new chapels completed at the various camps and posts, many units are planning special sunrise services in the open as well as formal devotions in the chapels. All soldiers who wish to attend Easter observances will be excused from duty from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. on Friday, and on Easter morning.
day, and on Easter morning, provided that no serious interference with training or troop movements would result.
In stressing the importance of the chaplains' duties during the Easter season, the chief 6 chaplains, William R. Arnold, as sent an Easter letter to all the uniformed clergymen serving with the army in camps, posts, stations, hospitals and training centers here and abroad.
In addition to the sunrise services planned for some units, there will be Protestant devotions and Catholic masses, both in chapels and in the open. This year, Chaplain Arnold pointed out, will find Army Easter devotions beginning just west of the international dateline and following the sun around the globe.
Civilian churches in areas where the army units have no chapels have invited soldiers to their Easter services, and many civilian clergymen have invited army chaplains to join them in officiating at these services. The Chief of Chaplains has also invited friends and relatives of soldiers to attend the army devotions.
Elaborate musical programs are being planned for services at many camps and posts. Each army chapel is equipped with an electric organ, and there is no lack of accomplished organisers in the ranks. In those areas where only outdoor services will be held, the chaplains
have trailers equipped with amplifiers and phonographs. At several of the larger army bases and reception centers there will be musical programs by massed bands and choral groups.
Chaplain Arnold has announced that more than 100 local radio stations throughout the country have arranged to broadcast Army Easter services.

Joe Roberts and Bill Palmer looked good in running plays in the serimimage. Both men followed their interference well. Roberts showed up especially well in end runs and Palmer in plunging the line. Otto Schnellbacher spent the evening in making consistent gains by snatching passes from the air while playing nis end position.

New Year For Student Union
With the election of officers of the Student Union Activities board last week a new year starts for the Memorial Union building. New Year's Resolutions are in order for the Activities Board.
The Memorial Union building is incorporated under the laws of the state of Kansas. Control rests in the hands of the Union Operating Committee, composed of nineteen members, including nine students. This group supervises student activity and looks after the general welfare of the building. Since the Operating Committee meets infrequently, it delegates some of its power to a student committee, which handles day to day problems of Union management. This group, known as the Student Union Activities Board, is appointed by the Operating Committee.
This committee wields broad powers in many branches of Union activity. It may be noted that this group is the only one in the University which can charge admission to an event held in the building when the money gained is to be used by the organization. That is, any organization desiring to hold a benefit in the Union is refused the use of the building unless the money earned is devoted to Union activities.
The Activities Board, composed of three students, must remember that, although they were appointed by a board of nineteen, nine of whom were students, their responsibility for the Memorial Union building is to the student body of the University. The students support the building.
The new Activities Board may well resolve to guide Union activities so as to derive greatest student benefit not Union benefit. This Board has the opportunity to make the coming Memorial Union "year" one which makes available the building for meetings of all groups of students and extends a welcome to every student, individually.

The Joy Ride Is Over
For eighteen months in 1940 and 1941 the nation took a financial joy ride on the deficit spending of the federal government. The federal deficit spending during those eighteen months of increasing prosperity was more than 12 billion dollars, equal to approximately half the total deficit spending for the whole of the "depression" period from 1931 to 1939.
"Deficit spending" means spending of the difference between what the government receives in taxes and what ti pays out. In the past, the amounts of the deficits have been largely financed by bank credit. The government sells its bonds to the banks, the banks in turn merely give the government credit on their books. As the government draws on this to spend the money, those who receive it put some of their money back in the banks, so bank deposit money has been created—an inflationary process.
Largely as a result of huge federal expenditures, our national income by last December was above the rate of 100 billion dollars, a level which far exceeded the income of that famous "boom" year of 1929. At present, our outlay for war approximates three billion dollars a month. President Roosevelt estimated that in the fiscal year 1943, beginning July 1. our war expenditures would be about 56 billion dollars, a sum unapproached by any country in the world's history.
Despite its magnitude, this federal spending will produce no repetition of the 1940-1941 production "boom." The joy ride is over; the headaches have started. Business, which profited greatly during hte recent months of prosperity, now is facing difficult problems of scarcities and dislocations.
Taxes will reach into more pockets and take more from each pocket than ever before. But even after these taxes are paid, more money will be left in the hands of the people than ever before in our history. This great residue of earnings will not be as easily spent as in the past—because of the scarcity or complete lack of many goods and services. If every citizen does not curtail his expenditures during this time when the national income is the greatest in history and the goods which may be purchased are constantly fewer, he will contribute directly to inflation, which is far worse in its effects than any tax.
Under present conditions, "save" should become the password of the nation. Business, labor, agriculture every individual in the land-faces a measure of hardship created by the all-out demand of war.J.C.K.

DEAN SIMS
Pi Phi freshman, Jane Allen, gets the column's weekly prize for being the strangest individual commented on through the week. She is proved to be the Hill's greatest sleep-walker and sleep-talker.
Saturday night Jane retired as usual and (not oddly) went to sleep. Her freshman sisters, knowing Jane was on "wake duty" for the chapter, shook her about 2 a.m. and informed her that it was morning and time to get all the acts out of bed. She awakened the actives.
actives out of bed. She awakened the actives.
Deciding to carry the fun further, the pledges began dancing about the as-if-in-a-trance Jane and jeering at her for being so gullible as actually to believe it was time to get up. But Jane just stood there—eyes closed.
It now became evident that she had gone about her task of rousing the active chapter while walking in her sleep.
Peggy Schroeder shook Jane and asked her what she was doing. "Petting my rabbit," replied Jane. "See my rabbit; I won it in a bowling contest."
"On a trip in Ohio," came the reply.
"Where are you Jane?" asked Poggy.
"For Heaven's sake, what are you doing in Ohio?" again questioned Peggy. "Oh. just bowling," again answered Jane, still sleeping on her feet.
The now frightened pledge class hurriedly put Jane to bed before complications set in.
Have any of you chuckled yet over the prize funny-bone tickler that won Bill Hodge, Phi Psi superman a carton of Life-saver candy?
It goes something like this:
"I think I'll go on a bender," said the fly as he started to crawl around the pretzel.
The Theta's had a cosmetic saleswoman as a guest Tuesday, who gave talks on care of the face, hands, eye-brows, hair, and all that sort of man-bait stuff that girls must know. Guests for the between-us-girls talks were Sigma Chi's Hal Weber, Chuck Bevan, and Buddy Adams.
(Maybe the boys of the Sigma Chi house are going to fight off the females with their own weapons—or maybe attract them with their own bait.)
When it seems imminent that some of their number are going to graduate other members of the school often require the graduating seniors to differentiate themselves from underclass Usually this differentia-
men. Usually this differentiation is accomplished by some bit of wearing apparel.
If you're a senior, you are a marked man! Not that three previous years of college life leave their mark upon the senior or that superior knowledge, a little winged angel sits atop the senior's head. What we refer to is the treatment of seniors in different schools of the University.
Financiers Wear Straw
So in the spring when you see a young man striding toward west ad (Frank Strong, if you please) wearing a hard straw hat, you can immediately label him as a senior in the School of Business. Who on this campus would wear a hat, least of all a flat-topped, stiff brimmed straw hat, unless it were required? Every day these seniors don their straws to go to class, as they expect in future years to wear them to a Wall Street office every morning. It gets them in practice.
"Senioritis" Sets In With Canes, Straw Hats
Lawyers Swing Canes
Business seniors, however, are not the only students who must go through this differentiating process. Law seniors, too, learn a necessary practice years ahead of time. Besides carrying an unusually large stack of books, which law students maintain that they need, the senior carries a cane. Awkward and inconvenient as it may seem at first, the future lawyer endures the inconvenience with patience. In his mind he pictures himself a few months hence walking down a busy thoroughfare toward his first office, nonchalantly swinging his cane. Somehow, the cane seems to add that professional look to a lawyer.
White Coats Mark Druggists
The School of Pharmacy also prepares its seniors for what they may
expect when they are no longer working in school laboratories, but have an actual job with personal responsibility. Cleanliness is the supreme requisite for a drug store. Neatness is as important. Cleanliness and neatness of displays and of the workers are paramount. The customer expects both. Most pharmacists wear the neat white jacket. For this reason, pharmacy seniors are required to wear white jackets and bow ties to their classes. When in this attire, however, the students usually confine themselves to the building and are seldom seen on the campus. Green Shirts Are From Marvin
Of course, the senior engineers carry slide rules but what engineer doesn't? Therefore to set himself apart, the senior engineer wears a green shirt which identifies him as a senior.
Senior medics, though not fulfilling a specific requirement, can usually be spotted by the heavy black boxes they carry. Instruments are essential to their work.
Seniors in the College are the most difficult to classify. Unless you tell them by books they carry or by the furrows in their forehead, your identification can not be depended upon.
A Fine Arts senior puts his all in a senior recital. Whether an instrumental or voice major, he must give a recital.
To some, these methods of diff

Home Ec Tea Yesterday Features Alfalfa Tea
By Emily Mumford
Alfalfa tea spiced and flavored with fruit juices and mint, sandwiches, and a variety of cookies provided refreshments yesterday afternoon when the home economics department held open house from 3:30 to 5 o'clock. This occasion, carrying on a tradition in the department of entertaining University women with a tea, also proved an opportunity for interested persons to visit.
kitchens and dining rooms.
Kitchens and dining rooms.
The Home Economies clubwomen who are at this time making a special study of graham breads and cookies were in charge of that portion of the refreshments.* Alfalfa tea, which Miss Edna A. Hill, chairman of the department, said is not particularly new, but nevertheless interesting, was chosen as rather apropos, considering the expected shortage of imported tea leaves.
"Alalfa, common enough in Kansas, has in the past been used as a green and as a beverage and its high content of vitamin A is common knowledge." Miss Hill commented. "But just how much of the food value of alalfa is soluble is not known, so we cannot expect to get many of our vitamins by drinking alalfa tea. That we can get some in this manner is undeniable. At least it is not stimulating and for persons who are denied tea because of its caffein content, this substitute could be safely employed."
Miss Hill stated that for the beverage yesterday, the women of the department had made Russian tea, using the inexpensive alfalfa as base. "We didn't spice the tea with the idea of masking the flavor, but
with the idea of making a drink the guests would enjoy. To be used as hot tea, unspiced, we should obtain more nearly ripe alfalfa—near the stage of blossoming. We plan to do further research with the riper leaves, then standardize our recipe so that anyone who would like it, might have it. In making refreshments yesterday we used a peck of alfalfa that we had washed and dried, and with it not more than a dozen oranges and lemons, some mint and spice." This made enough for the 300 guests.
The unspiced alfalfa tea has a taste unlike green tea, but somewhat similar to it. Miss Hill expressed the belief it wouldn't be any more difficult to develop a taste for alfalfa tea than for the ordinary green variety.
Jonquils and forsythia formed the centerpieces at the two tables. Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser to women, and Dr. Florence Sherbon, professor of home economics, poured.
Quill Club Meets To Discuss Magazine
The American College Quill club will have a 5:30 dinner meeting in the Memorial Union cafeteria tonight. After rhe dinner, they will adjourn to the Pine room for a meeting.
Bob Humphrey, editor of "Foeh" which will come off the press early next week will review the new magazine. Plans will be made to choose a guest speaker for the next meeting.
The speaker chosen will be one who is engaged in writing for current magazines or one who is an authority on markets for stories.
A new course in democratic objectives recently was introduced at Iowa State college.
Sherwood to Study Internal Medicine In Minneapolis
Dr. N. P. Sherwood, professor of bacteriology, left today to attend the post-graduate course in internal medicine to be held at the University of Minnesota. This course, sponsored by the American College of Physicians, is being offered from April 6 to April 16.
Dr. Sherwood will stay in Minnesota to attend the Twenty-Sixth Annual Convention of the American College of Physicians to be held from April 20 to April 24, in St. Paul.
While attending these conventions, Dr. Sherwood will live at the Center for Continuation Study, which is located on the University of Minnesota campus.
Nash Speaks to G.R. On Emotional Conflict
Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor of education, spoke yesterday on "The Areas of Emotional Conflict of a High School Girl" to a group of senior women students, as part of a series of lectures sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. and the School of Education. The meeting was held in the Fine room of the Memorial Union building.
The course was instituted several years ago to provide training and background for prospective teachers who expect to be in charge of high school Girl Reserve activities, and who are not familiar with the purposes and requirements of the organization.
Condition of Miller Slightly Improved Three More Confined
The condition of Ralph Miller, resting at Watkins hospital, was reported as possibly slightly improved. Dr. R. I. Canuteson said today. Miller has been in the hospital since March 27, suffering from lobar pneumonia.
George Dick, junior in the School of Education, Glen Perkins, college sophomore, and Walter Cassidy, sophomore in the School of Education underwent surgery Wednesday.

Becoming homesick for his Maxwell home and friends while a patient in Colusa Memorial hospital, Baber ordered an ambulance and a nurse, had his bed loaded into the conveyance, and paid his visits.
200 Journalists In High School Contest
Approximately 200 entries from 30 high schools have been submitted for judging in the annual high school journalism contest which is sponsored by the department of journalism of the University. April 1 was the deadline for entries.
All Kansas high schools were invited to enter the contest by submitting their best news story, feature story, human interest story, interview, service to the school, business management of their own paper, or anything not included in these divisions.
The work is judged and rated by the instructors in the journalism department. There will be three winners in each division, ratings being first, second, and third.
Winning articles are to be published in High School Newspapers, a periodical issued by the journalism department. Announcements of the winners will be sent some time this month to the various high schools which have entered the contest.
'SENIORITIS'----
Smith Replaces Chandler on Board George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, has recently been elected to the state committee of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, it was announced today by H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education. Dean Smith replaces Professor Chandler on the six-man board.
Lawrence Theaters Lower Prices Sunday
(continued from page six) entiation resemble initiation ceremonies, which prospective members are sometimes forced to undergo. The practices, however, seem to come not at the beginning but at the end. Unless it is considered that the individual needs to be initiated into his after college life.
Whatever the reason, or even if there isn't a reason, straw hats, canes, green shirts, white jackets, and tell-tale brief cases help the under-classman to identify the seniors.
Stan Schwahn of the Lawrence theaters has just announced new theater policies and price reductions for all Lawrence theaters, effective Sunday, April 5th. Stan Schwahn feels that these new policies will be well received by all patrons.
The Jayhawker will present two changes in programs weekly. Sunday, three days and Wednesday, four days. The matinee prices will continue as at present, 25c plus tax, a total of 29c; and the evening and Sunday shows will be slightly reduced from 36c to 34c, including all tax.
The Granada policy will be three changes weekly. Sunday, three days, single feature. Wednesday and Thursday, single feature. Schwahn states that the majority of patrons would much rather see an outstanding single feature with selected short units to diversify the program than they would a double bill. Especially so since the producers are cutting down on the number of pictures produced and spending this money on single features. In other words the numerous priorities effecting production has automatically compelled them to make bigger and better pictures. This fact will be evident when you see the outstanding quality and great stories on these Granada single feature programs.
The present Bond Night will be moved from Monday-Tuesday to Wednesday-Thursday and will be a straight cash award of $25.00, being added each week. Anyone registering on the Wednesday show will be eligible for the Cash for Bond awards, at 9:00 p.m. on Thursday. On Friday and Saturday the Granada will present a program of two first run features. One of these features will be an outstanding western. Stan Schwain states that this Friday and Saturday change to westerns is due to the fact that westerns with real star value are becoming more popular. The established price for all shows for the entire week will be 25c plus tax, a total of 29c.
Effective Friday, April 10th, the Varsity will go to one change weekly. The same high quality double feature program that has been playing the Varsity Sunday, four days, will play Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. The prices have been
20c matinee and evening for this program. On the new policy, prices will be matinees 15c plus tax, evening and all day Sunday 20c plus tax. The Varsity will be closed four days each week, Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday, with this change of policy.-Adv.

Cast Prepares For 'Sleeping Beauty'
The title role of The Sleeping Beauty, A.A.U.W. Children's Theater production at Liberty Memorial high school, April 10 and 11, will be played by Miss Lois Elaine Willecuts. She is an Alpha Delta Pi freshman from Topeka. Irene Sandelius, the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Walter Sandelius is understudying Miss Willcuts, and will appear as one of the peasant children who are the favorite playmates of Primrose.
The department of speech and dramatic art at K.U. is lending royal furniture for the palace scenes and court costumes to supplement those of the Children's Theatre and many K. U. students, faculty members, and alumni appear in the cast or are helping with the play.
Professor Waldermar Gelch, professor of violin, is cast as King Tubbington, a part devised especially for Mr. Gelch and his famous violin.
Mrs. Paul Smart, a fine arts graduate, will appear as the Sunlight Fairy whose belated arrival at the christening enables her to change the curse of death to a hundred years of sleep. Mrs. Smart's song, for which she has written the words, is a melody dear to the hearts of the children.

(continued from page one)
Don Jose; Leola Turner as Micaela;
Mario Valle, Escamillo; and Harold
Kravitt, Zuniga. Lydia Arlova and Lucien Frideaux lead the San Carlo Ballet in the dances of the opera. Carmen Wins Her Way
The story of "Carmen" is the well-known triangle plot, this time with a distinctive Spanish flavor. Carmen is a passionate, exotic cigarette factory worker, who, in the first act of the opera, is arrested for street fighting and placed in the custody of Don Jose, a captain. Jose at first disdains Carmen, but soon falls under her spell and allows her to escape.
Carmen flees to the smugglers' den, where, at the beginning of the second act, she treats Escamillo, the boastful tooreador, with scorn. Don Jose arrives at the den after having served in prison for her escape. He is later surprised by Zuniga, is disarmed, and takes to flight with Carmen.
Dies at Hands of Jose
Carmen promises Escamillo her betrothal if he wins the bull fight. Jose has also attended the fight, and while Escamillo is in the arena, he seeks out Carmen and demands fidelity. She refuses, and he stabs her. Carmen dies in Jose's arms as the triumphant Escamillo emerges from the arena.
In act three the fickle Carmen has turned from Jose back to Escamillo. Smugglers prevent a fight between the two lovers, and Don Jose leaves when news comes that his mother is dying.

"Enjoyable" Says Critic Charley's Aunt
By JOY MILLER
Good lines and irresistible situations—both due to Brandon Thomas, playwright-made last night's performance of "Charley's Aunt" by an all-student cast, hilarious, guffaw-provoking entertainment.
The student actors managed without aid of faculty dramatic stars to maintain the somewhat uncertain standard the dramatics club has set up for histronic entertainment. If even unconsciously compared with the recent screen adaptation, the University production suffered. But since MGM's picture, with its expensive sets and experienced actors, should not be used
Ben Mantz, no Jack Benny, looked fetching the greater part of the evening in a somber black dress of 1890 mode and a hat adorned with dashing purple feathers. Mantz read the majority of his lines like a conscientious sixth-grader in Friday assembly, but now and then he was almost good when portraying the coquettish aunt.
Jack Cheesy was imbued with (continued to page seven)
surpassed his line-reading, but one of his statements in the first act is particularly applicable: "Ive never acted before in my life."
But criticism be as it may, Mantz was popular with the audience. The playwright has given his all in the way of witty lines and farcial situations to the character of Lord Babberley, a decided help to Mantz, who could have done a much worse job and still have been considered fairly adequate.
In feminine finery, Mantz's acting
as a criterion for judging an admittedly amateur production, last night's presentation was enjoyable.

Hill Opera ★★★
'Carmen' Story
Elaborate
COE GLADE
For Hill music lovers who are about to see their first opera, and aren't sure what that opera, "Carmen," is all about, the Kansan is taking up the burden of enlightenment
"Carmen" is a four-act opera by Georges Bizet, written and sung in French, about a Gypsy cigarette girl in Spain. First produced at the Opera-Comique in France in 1875, the opera was fairly successful from the first. Three months later, Bizet died from
"Carmen"
A. L.
overwork, not from disappointment at the failure of "Carmen" as the popular legend states.
The Prelude of the opera begins with the lively strain which appears in the last act, brings out the melodies of a few arias, and after the motive of the fascination and fatality of Carmen, a crashing chord cuts it short.
The curtain rises on a square in Seville, filled with soldiers and promenaders. Micaela, country girl whom Don Jose loves, appears, asks the dragons about Jose, and waits for him. Zuniga, Jose, and the dragoons march up just as the cigarette factory girls pour out for lunch. As the other men pour out their declarations of love for Carmen, the most seductive of the girls, Don Jose seeks out Micaela who has brought a message from home. During this scene Carmen sings one of her better known arias, the Habanaer or "Love is Like a Wild Bird Flying." The cigarette girls return to work, Micaela leaves, Don Jose reads the letter. Soon there occurs a fight in the factory between Carmen and another worker, Carmen wounded the girl. She is taken to prison and put under the guard of Don Jose whom she proceeds to capitate to the point of freeing her. For his benefit she sings the famous juguidilla, "Close by the ramparts of St.ille."
The second act opens in the tavern

San Carlo Cast Presents Noted Opera Tomorrow
In what promises to be one of the most outstanding attractions to appear on the regular Concert Course series the San Carlo Opera company will present the opera, "Carmen," tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
Because of the length of the opera, which will last a full two and a half hours, every effort will be made to start the opera promptly at 8:20, Donald M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said today.
Thousands of University students, admitted by activity ticket, are expected to attend the opera as well as townspeople and music lovers from all over Kansas. A steady sale of seats at the Fine Arts office and downtown ticket offices promises a packed auditorium.
Setting Stage a Huge Job
The stage crew of the opera company will spend most of tomorrow hanging the scenery on the mones over the Hoch stage. Dressing rooms have been built under the stage and in the wings for principals, dancers, chorus, and orchestra.

The opera company of 100 is traveling eastward on the return trip of a transcontinental tour that began in Washington, D.C., and included appearances at Salt Lake City, Pueblo, and Wichita, preceding the performance at the University tomorrow night.

The Dance Is On---- Tau Sigma Members Work On Spring Performance
Tau Sigma is going into the last few weeks of production for its spring performance scheduled at the end of this month.
DE LUXE CAFE
Our 23rd Year in Serving K. U. Students
Miss Melba Schilling, director of the modern dancing organization, has her office in Robinson gymnasium cluttered with costumes half made and others completed, pieces of material, black masks, horned hats, and ruffled pants that are all evidences that
Fifty campus queens, who would glamourize any Ziegfield follies, meet approximately 12 times each week in Robinson. Rushing from classes or their evening meals, they pull on their black, long-sleeved scanties to learn and smooth up more than a dozen different dances. Music being composed and selected, program, special invitations, and publicity are other evidences that a performance of the dance is soon to take place.
From the light fantastic and humorous to ecstasy, members of Tau Sigma are working to portray a variety of moods in motion. Themes of the dances are centered about studies in rhythm, the beauty of movements, and interpretations of feelings, emotions and ideas, which are brought out in such numbers as "Regimentation" dance showing the monotony of rank and file given in military movements and emphasizing timing and precision. Another dance in keeping with the trend of the times, is the "Satire on War," an arrangement of "Yankee Doodle" which shows the effect of war on the United States, taking the tune and rhythm of the time and the characterization of the people.
711 Mass.
The dance of the "Tyrant" tells the inevitable fate of all tyrants. Music arrangement for this number is being composed by Robert M. Palmer, instructor in the School of Fine Arts. This is Mr. Palmer's first composing for the dance, although he has been asked to do composing for Martha Graham, one of the best dancing instructors in the country.
Other outstanding dances on the program are Debussy's "Golliwogs," the "Cake Walk," "Fall of the Sunken Cathedral," and the "Profane Waltz."
Most of the music for the dances is that of DeBussy's. The program for the performance has been outlined to appeal to all tastes, and includes both the light and classic, graceful beauty and humorous comedy.
The performance will take place in Hoch auditorium, April 29, with no charge for admission.

Symphony to Give Concert on Tuesday
Blues, a patriotic overture, Tschaikovsky's popular concert, and "the greatest score the University symphony ever performed" will comprise the program presented by the symphony orchestra at its spring concert at 8 o'clock next Tuesday night in Hoch auditorium, Karl Kuersteiner, director of the symphony, announced today.
"St. Louis Blues," a truly American number which Kuersteiner believes "has something permanent," will furnish the theme for an elaborate choral-symphonic presentation in which the modern choir and the full orchestra will perform. In with the blues theme is woven original music composed by Clarence Peterson, director of the med.
ern choir.
Probably the most difficult number the symphony has ever attempted, according to a statement by Kuersteiner, is "Death and Transfiguration," by Richard Strauss, which will be a part of the concert Tuesday. This well-known symphonic poem "may be considered one of the finest examples of musical narrative," Kuersteiner said. It is a number seldom played by amateur organizations.
The popular "Piano Concerto" by Tschaikovsky will be played by Bernard McNown, fine arts senior, at the piano, with an orchestral accompaniment. This is the piece which hit juke boxes from coast to coast after Mary Astor brought it into the common limelight by performing it in the movie, "The Great Lie." McNown played an excellent senior recital, and this is one of his best numbers, Kuersteiner said.
Opening the program will be the "American Festival Overture," composed by Dr. W. O. Miessner, professor of education and public school music. Tuesday night will be the first time the overture has been performed on the Hill during the regular session of the University. It was played for the first time here during the summer music camp.

Art Fraternity Searches For Hidden Talent
Delta Phi Delta, national honorary art fraternity, is making a search for hidden talent in the first All-University Art Parade which will be held in the lounge of the Memorial Union building April 19 to May 2. The purposes of the exhibit are to stimulate the production of original works of art by University students and to stimulate a greater interest in art among all students at the University.
The contest will be open to all members of the schools and departments of the University except to faculty members in the departments of art and architecture. Undergraduate students, graduate students, and other faculty members are eligible to submit entries. Students in design and painting may enter work which they have done without supervision.
Judges will probably consist of faculty members selected by Delta Phi Delta. Each entry will be judged according to standards of excellence and not on a competitive basis. Ribbons will be placed on each entry which merits the level of achievement designated.
Popularity awards will be based on balloting conducted at the formal opening. Entry blanks may be handed in at the main desk in the Union building or at the office of the department of design in Frank Strong hall.

Kansas Teachers Meet Here April 10
The Kansas Speech Teachers' Association will hold its spring meeting April 10 and 11 at the University. The association will discuss new methods and equipment for teaching. The president, Mr. L. A. Stafford of Ottawa high school, will send out the program for the meeting at the end of the week.
The teachers will be asked to register at the Memorial Union building immediately on arrival. Friday evening an informal dinner will be held at 6:30 in the Kansas room. After dinner, the play, "Mrs. Moonlight," is to be presented. Later the group will meet for coffee and visiting.
All speakers will be Kansans, since it is desirable to keep the group exclusively from Kansas. Besides the valuable information gained through attending these meetings, the teachers have a chance to become better acquainted with their associates.

Bruce Drake. Sooner basketball mentor, acknowledged Kansas court prowess last week in selecting Oklahoma's all-opponent team. He placed Ralph Miller, high scoring Jayhawker forward, on his first team and Kansas' sophomore combination, Charlie Black and Ray Evans on his second. . . . Teamed with Miller on Drake's first team selection were Millikan and Eggleston, both of the Oklahoma Aggies, Schneider of Iowa State, and Chingue of Bradley Tech. On the second team were Newman, Oklahoma Aggies, Budolfon, Iowa State, and White, St. Johns.
Cornelius Warmerdam, California school teacher and pole vaulter supreme who has been voted the outstanding track and field athlete of the season by New York sports writers, may thank Les Steers, Oregon State's world champion high jumper for his latest record. Warmerdam was vaulting at the Hill Military Academy in Portland, Oregon. His 15 foot $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch leap was good enough for a new record, but he had only one competitor—Earle Meadows—and the mark couldn't be recognized as official without three contestants. Steers condescended to complete the trio; he grabbed a bamboo shaft and gracefully skimmed beneath the bar placed at 13 feet. With a grin Steers discarded the unfamiliar vaulting pole, soared 6 feet 5 inches to win the high jump event.
Frank Barnhart, Jr., Kansas State's crack end of last season, is now saluting Frank Barnhart, Sr. His dad is lieutenant-colonel, commanding the Fourth Cavalry Regiment at Fort Piley. You guessed it, Frank Jr., is an ordinary buck private.
Ex-sportswriter of the K.U. news bureau, Horace Mason, left for the Great Lakes Naval training base Sunday commissioned an ensign in the naval reserve. He hopes to travel with and write about the Great Lakes baseball team, which should be second to none considering the talent the middies are mustering from the major leagues.
A new twist to the Colorado Relays last week end at Boulder was the septathalon. The septathalon is a streamlined decathalon which has been whitted from ten to seven events. Events in the septathalon are 60-meter dash, 60-meter high hurdles, pole vault, high jump, broad jump, put, and 400-meter run. "Sailor Boy" Hodges, Baker University's iron man placed third in this field.
Something new has been added to Kansas' baseball schedule this year, weather permitting. If and when the Jayhawkers make their season debut on the Manhattan diamond against Kansas State, it will be the first time in Big Six baseball competition that conference schools have engaged in night baseball. Dr. F. C. Allen, Kansas baseball coach, said this morning that there was a possibility that the night game would be cancelled should cold weather persist.

Portland, Ore. — (UP)— One Portlander is convinced that he "profited" by joining the navy. Two policemen came to the home of Leonard Erdman with a warrant for his arrest on a traffic charge. They tore it up when Erdman informed them that he had overparked while enlisting.
Grid Scrimmage Features Defense
Following a rigorous scrimmage last Thursday, the spring football squad enjoyed a three-day layoff. Practice was resumed yesterday but because of the heavy rainfall the workout consisted of running a few laps on the track under the stadium.
Thursday afternoon classes kept many of the football players from practice, so that coach Gwinn Henry found himself with only one backfield.
He used this backfield for offensive play on both teams and pulled four men out of the line for the defensive line backers. The back-field which ran plays for both teams was made up of Kenny Thompson, Bill Palmer, Jim Conley, and Don Comeaux.
On the defensive backfield were Bob Dole, Bill Irwin, Frank Rengel, and Bill Bauer. Paul Hardman, John Monroe, Junius Penny, Otto Schnellbacher, Max Banks, and Carl Hird were the defensive standouts of the afternoon.
Hardman repeatedly smashed in from his position at end and broke up plays with driving tackles. Schnellbacher stopped several end sweeps and intercepted two passes. Junius Penny and Max Banks, line backers, smacked tackles on anyone who happened to shift through the line.
John Monroe and Carl Hird made the tackle position almost impossible to get through. Neither team scored during the afternoon. Another game will be played this weekend, coach Henry announced.

Red Cross Offers Water Safety Class
If you have a senior life saving certificate, are 19 years of age or older, and would like to take a course for water safety instructor, sign up at the woman's physical education office.
Mr. Ray Rainey, district representative of the Red Cross, will be on the campus from April 27 to May 2 to conduct a life saving water safety course. Mr. Rainey is being sent from the St. Louis office.
Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, announced today that since a few preliminary hours of practice are necessary between now and the date Mr. Rainey is to arrive, a practice class is scheduled for next Monday night at 7:45.
Hill To See Miss Enters' Pantomime
"Unique and enchanting entertainment" are some of the words used to describe the program which comes to the University Monday evening when the Community Lecture course presents "The Theater of Angna Enters." This fourth and last number of the current Lecture course will be a presentation which combines acting, pantomime, and dancing.
Miss Enters was born in New York City of French-Viennese parents. She made her debut at the Greenwich Village theater in New York March, 1926, introducing a program entitled, "Fpisodes and Compositions in Dance Form." She has created 175 or more compositions in the largest repertoire in the field of dance.
Studied in Greece
After a transcontinental tour season and performances in London and Paris, Miss Enters visited Greece for study of primitive Greek mime and dance. In April, 1935, she visited Egypt and the Near East for study in Mediterranean early culture.
Not only is Miss Enters known for her dancing and acting ability. She has exhibited her drawings and paintings 22 times in art galleries of New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor, and in art museums of Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and San Francisco. Miss Enters has also written two books and a play. Her first book, published in November, 1937, was "First Person Plural." Her latest book is scheduled to appear this fall under the title, "Silly Girl." "Love Possessed Juana" was the play written by Miss Enters and published in November, 1937.
Critics Full of Praise
Walter Terry in the New York Herald-Tribune wrote, "Enters is theater. She makes equal use of costuming, lighting, movement and drama, united in exciting dance."
Gilbert Seldes in his syndicated newspaper column, said, "The most varied, the most personal, and the most entertaining entertainment you can possibly find. She is a joy to observe."
This presentation comes to the University as a substitute for a cancelled number scheduled for a February date.
Convocation Hears Dawber
"There is a cross for everyone, but it can be borne only if a love of God is in his heart," said Dr. Mark A. Dawber, convocation speaker, in Hoch auditorium last Friday.
Speaking on "Facing the Cross" Dr. Dawber said that we are always facing some fork in the road, and although we usually take the easiest path, the real test lies in choosing the best one.
Dr. Dawber distinguished between courage and fearlessness by saying that a lion was fearless, but courage was doing something for someone when fear is involved. Only the fearful can be courageous, he said.
"God does not always save us from the fiery furnace," Dr. Dawber stressed. "He sometimes does better for us, and walks with us in the furnace. I'd rather be in the hot place and sure of God's presence than in the easier places and not sure of it."
As life becomes more complex, temptations become great. But we can have power to meet temptation if we have the love of God in our hearts, Dr. Dawber stated. All life is a cross, and the issues of life can be met if we follow in the steps of Jesus, who bore his cross with unfaltering devotion.
The University a capella choir, under the direction of Dean Donald M. Swarthout, presented an Easter anthem, Prof. Laurel Anderson played an organ prelude, and Royal Humbert narrated the Gospel crucifixion during the convocation.

States. They agree that her mezzosoprano voice, her dramatic talents,
and her alluring beauty make her one of the foremost Carmens of the past decade. She plays the castanets and dances well. In fact, to quote the critics, "She brings to dramatic life a character that is by turns, impudent, passionate, humorous, and fateful."
The Washington (D.C.) Times-Herald wrote; "Coe Glade's Carmen is of course famous. The Metropolitan has none to match it. It is daring, fascinating, carnal in song, in surprisingly graceful dance, in pantomime that has nothing in common with plotted, meaningless operatic gestures. In short, it is the greatest Carmen of the day."

Women's Intramurals BY PAT BOWMAN
Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, announced today that the schedule for women's softball games is ready and, weather permitting, the first games will be played tomorrow.
Miss Hoover said that the games are to be played as scheduled, and that any games called because of bad weather will be re-scheduled later.
Drawings for the tennis and archery tournaments have been posted on the bulletin board in the hall outside the women's physical education office. Miss Hoover requested that the players call at the office and make arrangements to play these matches. The first round should be played off by April 11.
The San Carlo ballet troupe is headed by Mlle. Lydia Arlova, premiere danseuse, and M. Lucien Prideaux, premier danseur. In Act II of the opera, in the Tavern Scene, occurs the lively dance by M. Prideaux with Misses Marjorie Ammon, Mara Davidora, Helen Ward and Virginia Weder assisting, which leads into the famous "Habanera" by Carmen herself.

Farmers Need More Storage Facilities Now
Portland, Ore. — (UP) — In World War No. 1, Pacific Northwest farmers scrambled to grow more wheat.
But in World War No.2, they are scrambling to find adequate storage space for the largest supplies in the region's history.
Warehouses and elevators are filled to capacity both at rural points and city terminals.
Report's reaching here indicate that most farmers are planning or starting the construction of new storage space on their farms.
And Uncle Sam favors it with ready priorities for building materials, because wheat stored on sprawling farms is a much less likely target for fifth columnists than wheat concentrated in large city terminals.

The KANSAN Comments...
The University Cooperates
The United States government is at last coming to realize that a true spirit of friendship between the American nations can be best obtained through the youthful citizens of the countries—and this University is playing an important role in the affair.
Three weeks ago students from twelve universities throughout the state gathered on our campus. The attraction was the district Extempore-Discussion Contest on Inter-American Relations being sponsored by Nelson Rockefeller's Office of Coordinator of InterAmerican Affairs. Similar contests were being held at other colleges throughout the country on that day.
Winners of these district meetings will compete at a regional contest, April 23. Among those from eight states taking part in the Kansas City, Mo., regional contest will be a representative of this University, Merrill Peterson, College junior. Regional winners will be eligible for the national finals at Washington, D.C., May 14.
The real value of the contest is to be found in the award offered to all participants in the national finals. These students will receive a South American tour this summer with all expenses paid. These youths, who have for months studied and discussed Inter-American trade, cultures, and other phases of South American life, will mingle with the youths of our neighboring Republics.
Participation in contests is not the only effort being made by the University to better Inter-American affairs. Two exchange students from South America are enrolled in school here, one from Brazil and one from Chile. Speaking in a radio broadcast sponsored by the Student Forums Board, South American students stressed the value of "exchange" education in hemisphere relations.
University of Kansas students may view with pride the efforts of the University to cooperate with the national program for bettering Inter-American relations.—D.K.
Transportation For Oil
Oil reductions of 20 per cent of normal usage have been levied against commercial consumption in 17 Atlantic seaboard states and Oregon and Washington by Harold Ickes, who several weeks ago had "hoped" to stave off oil rationing in the United States.
Even with the loss of the petroleum-rich Netherland Indies to Japan, the United Nations control 93 per cent of the world's crude oil sources, 88 per cent of the refinery facilities, and 90 per cent of the tanker tonnage. In the Western Hemisphere alone there exists 78 per cent of the world's total oil production. It is quite apparent that we have access to the oil. Then why the shortage?
The key to the situation lies in one word transportation. The large percentage of ship tonnage that the United Nations, particularly the United States and Britain control, is not enough to sustain both the war effort and civilian needs.
To reach our distant armed forces and our allies, our tankers, which are essentially ships built for short voyages, must negotiate thousands of miles of seas infested by enemy submarines. Between San Francisco and Melbourne, Australia, lie 7,000 miles of ocean; it is 10,400 miles from San Francisco to Calcutta, India; the distance between New York and
Archangel, Russia, is 4,670 miles. These sluggardly oil transports require four months to complete one roundtrip to Australia-three trips a year.
We must have more ships to maintain the flow of fuel to our mechanized forces abroad. Tankers have been drained from our coastwise ship supply to augment oil convoys to the Far East. Even under protection of warships, our merchant marine is suffering an average of six ships lost a month. Replacements must also come from coastal shipping, as the governmental proposed ship-building program of 215 ships in 1942-43 is not yet enough advanced to alleviate losses.
Oil companies are now calling on a railroad system already overtaxed by military demands to solve its problem of transportation. Two weeks ago the tank cars hauled 435,000 barrels for a new all-time high which nevertheless, was only 20 per cent of Eastern demand. Shipping via rail costs 4 cents a gallon, but by tankers, only 1 cent.
We are feeling the pinch of a two-front transportation war; we can't use our oil at home and have it abroad for use in American planes, ships, and tanks.—A.H.

His crew-cut, becoming a bit rough and shabby in places, appeared to be sort of annoying to other members of the department—so, also journalists, Virginia Tieman, Mary Frances McAnaw, Bill Feeney, Tommy Thompson and Joy Howland took it upon themselves to enlighten his noggin of its excess hair.
The copy shears were the ideal instrument for the job so the five attackers took turn about whacking off portions of the offending hair while the other four held the screaming Hash in position.
Gamma Phi messengers marched in, presented Miss West with someone's Honor Society pin (supposedly owned by Bab), gave housemother Mrs. Baldwin a somewhat off-colored and ancient orchid, and passed around a box of peanuts.
(FLASH—With paper prices soaring skyward, the department of journalism announces the gala opening of its super-deluxe crew-cut shoppe. Won't you come in and add your four-bits to the pot so we can put out a Wednesday issue?)
Wednesday night at dinner the athletic Betty, who coaches the Gamma Phi soft-ball team, was startled by the announcement of her engagement to the immortal Babe Ruth—he had selected her to be the "one" because of her prowess on the diamond.
Betty West, ex-Rock Chalk columnist and Gamma Phi, was the brunt of (I know its awful late) the Gamma Phi's most brutal April fool loke.
(Something tells me that this is a crack at Betty's soft-ball coaching ability—the irony of it.)
Art Students Study Color Psychology
Have you ever wondered why all highway markers, such as "curve," "hill," "narrow bridge," and "men working" signs are invariably painted in black and yellow?
Correct knowledge and use of color contrast in commercial art and advertising design is needed to obtain the correct psychological effect. For example, advertisers who have some knowledge of color meanings and effects never use green in advertising meat products. While conducting research in color affects a large advertising agency associated green with meat products in a series of advertising campaigns. Results proved that buyers tend to ignore meat products packed in green cans, wrapped in green paper, or in any other way associated with green in advertising appeal.
Have you ever seen meat packed in cans which have a green label?
Have you ever wondered sections are red and not green? The art student can answer any of these questions from his knowledge of color contrasts and meanings. Scientific research has proved that the combination of black on yellow has the highest relative attention value of all color contrasts and combinations. The second highest combination in attention value is black on white and as a result of our high speed travel, both combinations are used extensively on road signs to catch the driver's eye for an instant.
In studying art the student learns that not all contrasts are based on the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow. These colors make up what is commonly known to artists as the "pigment wheel." However, the artist also has to consider the "light wheel" in which the primary triad is made up of red, green, and blue. A mixture of these pigment colors gives a black, whereas a mixture of the light wheel colors gives the purest white.
The light wheel can be used effectively in advertising, especially show-window advertising. For example, a grocery wishes to decorate his show-window by use of lighting to surround rows of catsup bottles. Green or blue light would undoubtedly provide the wrong effect, so the grocer floods his show window with a deep red. Red light proves to be nearly as inadequate as green or blue because the light merges into the color of the bottle, nearly obliterating the rows of bottles from view. Then the grocer reutrs to natural white light but the display still appears unattractive and flat. The whole problem would be solved had the grocer used all three colors in equal proportion, giving the pure white which would illuminate the catsup bottles and make them appear attractive.

Draft Board to Aid University Students
University students who desire assistance in filling out their selective service questionnaires for the third selective service registration, which are being mailed this week by the Douglas county draft board, should confer with Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar, at the registrar's office, it was announced today.
At the same time, the local draft board has announced that it will maintain an advisory board at the community building each weekday, between the hours of ten and twelve in the morning, two and four in the afternoons, and seven and eight o'clock in the evenings. This service will be available for University men who have registered.
The University selective service committee consists of Dr. R. Q, Brewster, chairman; Dr. Forrest C. Allen; V. P. Hessler; C. W. Asling, and Laurence Woudruff.
Farming With Horse Cheaper
Los Angeles, Cal. — (UP) — Farming can be done more cheaply with horses than with tractors, according to the Kellogg Institute of Animal Husbandry. The institute points out that the working life of a horse is longer than that of a tractor, a horse lives off the land and needs no spare parts, and provides fertilizer.
CHARLEY'S AUNT--accomplished performance of the evening. Spencer Bayles, as Brassett the butler, gives promise of developing into another Eric Blore.
(continued from page one) new vigor by William Kelly. It's hard to decide whether Kelly was giving a dynamic interpretation of a nottoo-unusual fellow or was merely "hamming." In either case, he was competent and could be depended upon to put over a scene with a minimum of ear-strain for the audience. Give him 20 years and he may turn out to be a second-rate Clark Gable.
Dean Ostrum, erstwhile journalist, seems to have taken up acting, or a semblance of it, to garner new laurels. In the difficult role of Stephen Spettigue, uncle and guardian of the two young ladies, and ardent wooer of the pseudo-Charley's aunt, Ostrum was a decided scene-stealer. He puffed, raved, and pursued through three acts to force Lord Babberley to share honors with him for a number of laughs.
Real Aunt Is Tops
As Donna Lucea O'Alvadorez, the real honest-to-gosh aunt, Edith Ann Fleming gave the smoothest and most
Robert Hutchinson, portraying Charles Wykeham, the lad who started all the trouble by having an aunt, was properly indecisive and colorless. Colonel Sir Francis Chesney who gets aunt and money in the end, was jauntily, if somewhat jerkly, handled by Ray Helgesen.
Betty Rowton did as much as can be expected at Kitty Verdun, Spettigue's ward, and Gloria Goff, as the same gentleman's niece, did a little more. Now a wrigling eel, now a swaying, nodding daftodil, Goff was always in motion with an accent on animation. Dee Ellen Naylor did nothing with a role with which nothing could be done.
Fool-Proof Play
The play itself is about as foolproof for hearty laughs as a play
could be. A perennial favorite since it was first produced in 1892, "Charley's Aunt" is concerned with marrying everyone in the cast to someone else in the cast, with the exceptions of Brassett, the butler, and Stephen Spettigue, frustrated lover of Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, alias Lord Fancourt Babberley.
The play opens with Jack Chesney and Charles Wykeham writing notes to their dearly-beloved Kitty Verdun and Amy Spettigne, inviting them up to their rooms at St. Olde's College in Oxford for lunch. Wykeham's millionaire aunt from Brazil is expected to be present, and when she doesn't appear and the girls won't stay in the men's rooms without a chaperon, Lord Fancourt Babberley, rehearsing for a student play is pressed into service.
Throughout the rest of the play, Babberley protestingly pretends to be the aunt, courted by Colonel Chesney and Stephen Spettige for her money, and "she" being tenderly affectionate to the girls.
The real aunt appears, the right people get with the right people, and everything ends happily.
All Ends Happily
Credit should be given the production staff: Allen Crafton, Robert Calderwood, Don Dixon, James Barton, and Jessica Crafton; electrician, Bob Russell; stage, Dick Rice, Roger Whitworth, Harlan Cope; ushers: Barbara Barber; prompter: Alice Hoad; and properties: Jeanne Moyer.

Preferences in color are blue in men and red for women and red holds the highest relative attention value for individual colors. Hence, red is used on stop lights with green, third in the attention value scale, occupying the less important position on the "go" light.

Screen Tests?
Hollywood Scouts Hill
Stardom?
The words, "talent scout" possess spell-binding powers. Would-be sophisticates scramble for mirrors, lipstick, and comb. Hollywood aspirers turn on the eye sparkle and plastered smile, rustics gape, heads jerk, and tongues wag notisly. The words are electric and they flash glamour and the glitter of "stardom" in the minds of the average American.
Not many people on Mt. Oread knew that there was a talent scout here yesterday, but the few that did had their heads jerking and their tongues wagging.$
And they were doing their best to see this rarity of mankind. Represented Warner Studio
Looking something like a screen product himself, the dark, low voiced Salvini Biano, was an interesting representative of the Warner Brothel's studio, and caught the fancy of the few Jayhawkers who scrambled into the little theater in Green hall yesterday afternoon for an interview or to satisfy their curiosity.
But it was a poor day for the University of Kansas to be inspected by the movie scout. Wind and rain had damaged the artificial curl in the campus beauties locks which dragged on their shoulders or were bound in arabic style, and the "men from Esquire" that usually stroll across the Hill to classes were first rate yokels in their over-alls and the stormy weather garb they wore to face the wrath of nature yesterday. To a man that can pick Lana Turners from a soda-fountain stool and look at a chattering child and tell whether he can act, these candidates for Hollywood were displayed under quite unfavorable conditions. But Salvini Biano gave little indication that he found anything that Warner Brothers would grab from Mt. Oread. In fact, he stated, "Till
MOTHER'S DAY--be surprised if I find a single potential movie star on this trip."

Faculty on Committee
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the K. U. Alumni Association; Miss Florence Black, associate professor of mathematics; Charles F. McCreight, University auditor; Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor; Henry Werner, adviser of men; Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the University food service; Mrs. Waldemar Geltk, Mrs. C. M. Baker, Mrs. C. F. Nelson, Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the department of design, Miss Melba Schilling, instructor in physical education; K. W. Davidson, director of information; and Mrs. Deane W. Malott.
The general committee will be divided into committees on publicity, program, invitations, and for the buffet-dinner.
Students to Invite Parents
Miss Meguiar urged that the students write home about the program immediately and invite their parents, although invitations will be sent out next week by the committee to the parents of all students now enrolled.
Although the title "Mother's Day" is given the two-day program of the University, both fathers and mothers are invited to visit the Hill that weekend, since this is the special time of the year that parents are urged to visit the campus.
A Comprehensive Search
Salvini Biano is making a tour of all the universities, colleges, and little theaters throughout the Middle West. Heading toward Chicago, Biano will skip about the country to any prospective collection of beauty or talent.
"This trip is to establish contacts more than anything else," Biano said. Just in case the University of Kansas ever does get its hands on anything that could storm California's movie gates to stardom, Warner Brothers want to know about it.
No Solace in False Hopes
"We have to be awfully certain that the kids will really make good, before we send for them. It is a tough life to wait around in the city for the telephone to ring. A lot of lives have been ruined with false hopes of a movie contract," Biano explained.
"Most of these local contests are just a lot of graft," he said, and until vocal tests, screen tests, and a contract are made there is not much chance and even then only about
Members of the women's athletic association will meet at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Robinson gymnasium to decide which members will take over executive offices next year.
WAA Will Gather To Choose Officers
The candidates are as follows: For president, Katherine Schaake and Mildred Wells; For secretary, Katherine Hines and Peggy Benson; For treasurer, Betty Gsell and Helen Wilkins; For business manager, Dorothy Burkhead and Jill Peck; for point system manager, Phyllis Strubble and Reola Durand; For volleyball, Barbara Winn; For basketball, Lavone Jacobson; For hockey, Mary Lou Chapple; For baseball, Francis Davison; For swimming, Cynthia Gilmer; and for minor sports, Althea Shuss.
Members are requested to bring a pencil for balloting.
one out of fifty ever gets to be a star."
And so, Salvini Biano, the man that has seen the heartbreaks and success stories behind the Hollywood screens, the man that can start the ball rolling behind a future star, reviewed the University's candidates for stardom and was off to see a million others.

Air in Hoch Sizzles Carmen Stars
By JOY MILLER
A captivating and seductive siren made the air in Hoch auditorium sizzle for over three hours last night when the San Carlo Opera company presented Bizet's opera, "Carmen," to an enthusiastic audience.
The auditorium, packed to the top row of the second balcony, was the scene of the most elaborate musical entertainment offered on the concert series this year. Students, faculty, townspeople and music lovers from all over the state were gathered to witness the spectacle.
A number of University of Kansas students got an on-the-stage view of the opera, appearing as "supers" or background crowds in several of the scenes.
Coe Glade Lives the Part
Star of the opera and center of attention from her first dramatic entrance in the opening act until she lay dead at the feet of her discarded lover two minutes before the curtain went down for the last time. Coe Glade made Carmen live. The bewitching Carmen is resurrected from Bizet's 1880 Spain for stage presentation, but Miss Glade's interpretation harks back to the original Carmen of Merimee's, a somewhat immoral young lady with a yen for a good time.
Miss Glade acts, dances, singles whistles—all with charming accomplishment. She twins herself around the rotund Don Jose, renders arias meaningful with daring gestures, and with an insinulative shrug of her shoulders or a suggestive lift in her throaty tones, Miss Glade lets the audience see the real Carmen—passionate, fickle, and superbly alive.
Supporting Cast Scores Well
Supporting Cast members of the cast do their parts well. Don Jose, although an unromantic-appearing lover, sings with passion and finesse, and Leola Turner, the simple countrymaid Micaela, possessed an unusually lovely voice. The toreador Escamillo, sung by Mario Valle, seemed to lack volume and force—attributable, perhaps, to Hoch's poor acoustics.
The ballets were executed with grace and color, especially at the beginning of the last act, in which Mlle. Lydia Arlova and M. Lucien Prideaux were featured.
Conductor Carlo Peroni set the mood of the opera in the prelude preceding the first act, in which the themes of the bullfight, the fatality motive of Carmen, and a brooding fascination are mingled. This effect prepared the way for the unfolding of the tragic love story.
A Nod to the Music
The curtain rises on a public square in Seville, to which Micaela has come in search of Don Jose. The dragoons make their appearance about the same time as the cigarette factory girls pour out for lunch. Soon La Carmencita makes her entrance, wearing what the well-dressed Spanish hussy of the 1880's wore—low-cut white blouse, red

Six Students Enter Oratorical Contest
Six University students will compete in the All-University oratorical contest Wednesday evening at 8:15 E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, announced today.
Those who have entered the contest, sponsored by the department of speech and dramatic arts, are: John Waggoner, college junior; Russell Baker, business senior; Clarence Mollett, college sophomore; Ethel Jane McFarland, college unclassified; Bob Hutchinson, college freshman; and Arthur Nelson, college sophomore.
There will be a total of $25 in cash prizes. First prize offered is $10, second $8, and third $7. The contest is the fourth in a series sponsored by the department.
The first contest was the Kansas Problems Speaking contest at which Governor Payne Ratner presided. The other two contests were the University Campus problems contest and the Inter-American Relations contest.
All students who wish to enter this contest should see Professor Buehler before Monday noon, and bring the titles of their speeches.
The thirty finalists for the Summerfield scholarships, awarded annually at the University of Kansas, were announced today by Olin Templin, secretary of the Kansas University Endowment Association. Of these candidates, from 12 to 15 will be selected for the awards in the final competition to be held in Lawrence April 20 and 21.

Announce V-7 Requirements
Confusion that seems to have developed in the minds of University men relative to enlistment in the V-7 Naval Reserve program, will be clarified by a letter from Lt. Comdr. Nathan Young, officer in charge of the USNR, stationed at Kansas City to Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Wrote Commander Young:
"Sometime ago the requirements for V-7 were that a junior had to be graduated before July 1, 1943, and a senior before July 1, 1942, to be eligible for V-7 enlistment. This was changed, but the information appears not to have been disseminated among the various student bodies, and we are getting in contact with many men who, having junior or senior standings, have considered themselves ineligible because their dates of graduation are subsequent to those listed above.
"There has been, however, a new requirement and I would greatly appreciate it if you would see that your student body is informed. To be eligible for enlistment in class V-7, USNR, a college junior must have attained junior status by April 15, 1942. (Date of graduation may be in 1944)."
Balzac Authority Lectures Tomorrow
Bernard Weinberg, professor of Romance languages at Washington University, St. Louis, will lecture tomorrow on the French writer Honore de Balzac at 3:30 p.m. in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building. The lecture is the second ni a series sponsored by the University committee on lectures and convocations, and is under the auspices of the department of Romance languages.
Dr. Weinberg, a graduate of Chicago University, has done extensive research on Balzac and has achieved distinction in America as an authority in that field. The lecture will be given in English and will be popularized.
Prof. R. G. Mahieu of the University department of Romance languages will give the third and last in this series of lectures. His address, to be delivered sometime in May, will be on Voltaire.

Expect M.I.B. Construction To Continue
Although the War Production board has issued an order prohibiting building projects not essential to defense and declaring that projects already begun might be halted, work on the Mineral Industries building here is not expected to be stopped, according to word received from Topeka today.
Roy W. Stookey, state architect, said that since the building was well under way and since its laboratories will be used in part for defense purposes, he expected the national government to allow its completion.
The mineral industries laboratories will be used for ordnance research.
Quill Club Magazine Out First of Week
The Quill Club's yearly magazine,
"Feoh," will be on sale either Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Selling booths will probably be set up in Fraser hall, the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, and the Union building, and copies can be purchased from members of Quill club.

A letter to the Governor of every state in the Union asking that May 3 be proclaimed as National School Music Rally day, urging that every

school in America present a patriotic musical program on that day as a nation-wide demonstration n of national unity, has been mailed by W. Otto Miessner, chairman of the department of

Only the stacatto tapping of typewriters and the soft drone of conversation disturbed the almost pastoral silence of the Daily Kansan newsroom this morning. But in the abnormal quiet there was something ominous, something foreboding. A big story was about to break, and break soon.

HE FOUND TYPE LICE Second Coming of Zilch 'Shack' Tense
LATE BULLETIN: Relayed to the Kansan news room by our Berne, Switzerland, news agency, April 7 (delayed by censors.)—The Shangri-La (Tibet) Post-Democrat, official mouthpiece of the Grand Lama of Tibet, ran an extra edition today, with column rules reversed, on learning that Zilch was leaving for Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A. The wized, grey-haired, old journalist is held in such high esteem by the emotional Tibetians that even a short absence causes them to go into mourning. Zilch was feted last night at a banquet given by the Allied Rotary Clubs of Tibet, at which he gave a touching departure address, saying "I'm coming back when the bloom is on the sage."
Then a Western Union messenger boy walked through the room, handed a yellow envelope to the managing editor, and left. The editor tore the envelope open, read the message. His eyes dilated, his grimy fists clenched, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. "*@& ) $1b?" ®
he muttered under his breath.
No. E—He found type lice—
Springing to his feet, the managing editor gave seven raps on the brass gong that hangs above his desk.
"Seven raps: My Gawd, a big story" the reporters chanted in unison.
The m.e. waved for silence, climbed on top of the copy desk, and spoke in a throaty whisper—
"Zilch is Coming"
Zilch. The magic word spread like wildfire through the newsroom. Zilch, the Robin Hood of Journalism,
the Great Enigma, coming here, April 21! Zilch, coming by dog sled, by airplane, by submarine, by rocket ship, who knows, out of his Tibetian monkey, to speak to students in the department of journalism. Zilch, author of the immortal "Angel of Death" story, producer of that best-seller "Inside Cherry Street," valiant defender of the rights of the little people.
Even as the managing editor was speaking, plans for a monster cele- (continued to page eight)

Clothes Worries
Men's Styles Change

By OSCAR A. BERGMAN
"THERE'S GONNA BE SOME CHANGES MADE"... But, SO WHAT?
We like new ideas and changes anyway.
There are changes in the weather . . . changes in the sea . . . and especially changes in styles, and we take them in our stride. This is just what we'll do with any of the changes in fabrics, models, colors and patterns, that may come our way due to the war and emergency.
Long before the ban on rubber the public had been presented with and had accepted wholeheartedly many types of rainwear that use little or no rubber in their construction. Water and wind repellent fabrics have been used so successfully . . . from the standpoint of style first, and utility second . . . for the last 10 years, that the public in all walks of life take them for granted. In fact the government itself, finds that rubber is really not vital in a rainwear garment, and are
But . . . and here's good news . . . none of the apparel changes will be drastic. They'll all be gradual, natural, and in many instances, barely noticeable. The genius of our scientists, chemists, as well as our smarter manufacturers here in America, will come through as always, and make the best thing you can buy for the money.
Rubber Isn't Necessary
As these changes appear on the horizon, let's think of them as alternates, not substitutes, and prepare ourselves for a lot of very nice and interesting romance in apparel ideas.
using the alternates for military coats in many instances.
Many years before the suspender came into existence men were holding up their pants with a belt of one kind or another. And the first "gallouses" invented used a cord and some fabric in a simple pulley arrangement that worked OK. So as a final thing, we'll go back to "holder-uppers" using some fancy pulley gadget. We have been wearing suspenders these last three or four years, made of a stretchable alternate, and according to all reports we can still get all of this stuff we want.
And as for garters . . . well for the last year or so, many manufacturers have been selling socks with an elastic webbing around the top which does a good job of holding them up. Little by little they have been eliminating the rubber in these

Geological Survey Tells of Resources
The Kansas Geological Survey, in the first three months of 1942, has prepared three reports especially significant to national defense. One has been published and the other two are now being printed.
The greatly increased activity of the state Geological Survey and the unusual number of demands made upon it by various individuals, industries, and state and federal agencies indicates
that in times of national emergencies state geological surveys are of utmost importance.
The two reports now being printed are: "Ground-Water Supplies Available in Kansas for National Defense," by S. W. Lohman and "Kansas Mineral Resources for National Defense," by J. Jewett and W. H. Schoewe. The third report, "Ground-Water Supplies Available for National Defense Industries in Southcentral Kansas," by Stanley W. Lohman has just been published and is now ready for distribution. It is bulletin 41, part 1. Copies of this bulletin may be secured at the survey office in Haworth hall.
The report published deals with southcentral Kansas, including the Arkansas river valley between Hutchinson and Wichita, the Arkansas valley between Wichita and the Oklahoma state line, and the McPherson area. According to the report, "As much as 5,000,000 gallons daily of good water could be pumped continuously from the productive sands and gravels occupying most of the McPherson filled valley, and larger supplies could be pumped in favorable areas for a period of a few years. Supplies of from 10,000,000 to more than 20,000,-000 gallons daily are available from wells along the southwestern part of the Arkansas valley between Hutchinson and Wichita, and somewhat smaller supplies are available in this valley for a period of a few years." Also in this area an abundance of cheap fuel is available from the several large oil and gas fields and numerous railroads and highways provide adequate transportation facilities.
The report contains five figures, two of which are cross-section drawings showing the nature and character of the valleys and their materials based upon test drilling and surface exposures. One of the figures is a map of southcentral Kansas showing areas in which large supplies of ground-water may be obtained.
The report was prepared by the Kansas Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey with the cooperation of the division of sanitation of the Kansas state board of health, and the division of water resources of the Kansas state board of agriculture.
Historian Puts Dewey In"I Told You So"
Los Angeles, Calif. — (UP) — Dr. Louis Knott Koontz, editor of the Pacific Historical Review, revealed that Admiral Dewey foresaw the Japanese capture of Manila 40 years ago. He quotes from Dewey's writings, as follows:
"I look forward some 40 or 50 years and foresee a Japanese naval squadron entering this harbor, as I have just done, and demanding surrender of Manila and the Philippines, with the plan of making these islands part of the great Pacific Japanese empire of the future."
Six States Entered In Speech Contest
Contestants from six states will participate in the Southwest regional speech contest at the University of Kansas City, April 13 and 14. States to be represented are Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and North and South Texas. The contestants were selected by each college or university to represent it in the district conference.
The Kansas district conference awards were presented to Bob Plumb, college junior, and Merrill Peterson, college junior, who were to represent Kansas at the regional contest, Plumb, however, was declared ineligible and in his place will be John Adams of Bethany college, Lindsborg.
The winner of the regional contest will compete in the national finals. The six national finalists are to be conducted on a tour of other American republics if exigencies of foreign travel permit.
These groups of contests are sponsored by the office of the coordinator of inter-American affairs.
Man Finds Way To Give A Day To War Work
Amarillo, Texas — (UP) — He asked that his name not be used.
A man past middle age, he is the owner and operator of a small truck farm in Pleasant Valley community near here. He is making a modest living and managing to meet the payments on his farm. That, and no more.
But he wanted to do something personally to help the war effort. He talked it over with H. L. Reitman, a feed and lumber company manager. He asked for a one-day-a-week job, the wages to be invested in defense stamps and bonds, and these to be given to some war widow or war orphan.

FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
"There are a great bunch of fellows out for this intramural meet and we'll have a good varsity trac squad if they will stay out." Thu track coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss sounded a note of encouragement for a brighter outlook on the cinder path for the Jayhawks during the outdoor season. . . . Despite bad weather, a slow track, and lack of conditioning on the part of the performers, this year's intramural meet should show lots of potential track material for the Kansas track team which has been punctured by the draft and enlistments. . . . Hargiss hopes to be able to run some of the best intramural track talent in the Kansas Relays next week end. He also plans to take a squad to the Drake Relays a week later. A good showing in the I-M meet this afternoon may be just the ticket to Des Moines two weeks hence.
... With more than two hundred men, representing 12 teams, times and distances in the thirteen track and field events should be in for a rough afternoon.
Men who should shine in the I-M meet today: Charlie Black, Kansas' Big Six basketball center should show well in the field events; he shoves the 16-pound shot, well past 40 feet; he flirts with the 135-foot mark in the discus, and has vaulted 12 feet 6 inches. . . . Football players make the bulk of the shot contestants. In this event are Ed Linquist, and Don Ettinger, Jayhawker fullbacks, and Don Johnson and Junius Penny, frosh linemen. . . The dashes show an opulence of material with Kenny Winters, who won the century last year in 10.3 and Bill Hodge, who took second, both returning. Other above-par dash men are Gene Roberts, frosh footballer, Bob Johnson, varsity basketballer, Warren Newcomer, Gene Lea, and Jim Dominick. . . . In the middle distances Roger Whitworth probably has the best time with a 1:56 half; other men who should show in the quarter or in anchoring medley relay teams are Jack Moore, Glenn Kappleman, both tracksters, Bud Herriman, and John Short. . . Frank Stannard, frosh who last year placed second in high hurdles at the state meet, and Milo Farneti, who tosses the javelin better than 170 feet, appear to be the class of their events: . . . Bill Murfir, along with Hodge and Winters, both of whom placed in broad jump last year, will probably be the main contenders for that field. . . Pole vault competition should be close. Stan Hansen, Bill Chivvis, track yearlings, John Wells, and Vance Hall, all should hit 11 feet or better. . . Last year's meet was won by Phi Psi with Kappa Sig second, Phi Delt third, and Sigma Chi fourth. Twelve teams were entered in competition.
Speaking of track, although Oklahoma's Sooners sent only five thinclads to the Colorado Relays last week, they completely overshadowed anything the other 16 schools entered. Oklahoma gathered five firsts and three seconds for 34 points. Bill Lyda adhered to the Iron man tactics he has been displaying all season by breezing through a 50-second quarter and a 2:06 half to take those events. Orv Mathews tied his own record to win the 50-yard dash in 5.5
RunMeetToday,RainorShine I-M Thinclads Perform On Stadium Indoor Track Weather Cancels
Rain or no rain, the intramural track meet will be held at 4:30 this afternoon on the indoor track under the east stadium, track coach H. W. "Bill" Hargiss and intramural head Henry Shenk decided this morning.
Shenk decided this morning. Finals will be run in the high jump, shot put, and broad jump. Preliminaries will be held in the 220 and 440-yd. dashes. Shenk stated that runners in these events would probably run against time, thereby cutting $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
out the necessity of semi-finals. Because the indoor track's straightaway is too short, the distance has been cut to 90 yards in the 100-yd. dash preliminaries. Likewise in the 120-yd. low hurdle, preliminaries will be run on the 90-yd. straightaway.
Intramural officials expressed hope that finals in these runs will be held on the outdoor track for regulation distances. Weather permitting, finals in the 100, 220, and 440- yd. dashes, the 120 low hurdles, 3-legged novelty race, the medley and 440-yd. relays, javelin, discus, and pole vault will be held outdoors tomorrow.

Sooner Coach Favors Optional Goal Rule
Dewey "Snorter" Luster, Oklahoma's football coach, likes the optional goal rule giving the team scored upon the option of changing goals or of deciding whether it will kick or receive.
Luster favors the rule, which he used in all three practice games during the recent Oklahoma spring drill, because it equalizes the elements, particularly wind, to some extent.
"The rule wouldn't work following a safety," Luster opines, "because a team only one or two points behind might deliberately take a safety to secure the wind. But it would be successful following a touchdown."
A majority of coaches at the national meeting last December at Detroit favored the rule, Luster says, but the rules committee did not pass it.
seconds. . . Ken Farris hit his best distance yet to win the broad jump with 23 feet 8 3-4 inches. Dick Smethers coasted home first in the mile in 4:42. Reason for the slow time: on the last lap, the timers mistakenly signalled Smethers there were two laps left, so he never got to sprint the finish. . .

Chow to Settle
Nippon Hash
Believe it or not, this boy, Radioman 2nd Class Frank Robert Chow, has held the national civilian record for 1940 and 1941 and has medals by the bushel basket. So far in his career as a shooter he has won over 500 medals and trophies.
Whether it be a .45 or .22 calibre he still can pop the head off a penny thrown into the air. In 1940 at the International matches in San Diego, he set a world's record with his .45 and in 1942 he ranks No. 12 in the world on pistol.
He held the National Rifle Association championship in 1937 and came back in 1939 to take it again in both .45 and .22. Chow held a lieutenant's commission in the Los Angeles police force where he taught the policeman how to "get their man," and odd as it may seem, one of his pupils is now his roomie at Texas A&M.
Chow is now 33 and after serving four years, he retired from the navy but "shipped over" in February of this year and now is at Texas A&M to take the intensive radio course.

Weather Cancels Baseball Openers
By Jack Werts
Kansas' opening baseball games, originally scheduled with Kansas State tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon have been postponed until May 4 and 5, because of the bad weather, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Jayhawk baseball coach, announced today.
With 28 men checked out for baseball this spring coach "Phog" Allen is looking optimistically toward the approaching games. Forrest "Knute" Kresie, who has an impressive record in Ban-Johnson and varsity baseball, will assume the larger part of the pitching duties this season. Kresie excels in both hitting and pitching.
Bill Atwell, Dave Brune, and Al Hecht are going to be held responsible by Allen for some good hurling also. These men have been looking good in practice.
Poor Hitting in Practice
In a practice game with Haskell last Thursday afternoon the hitting was poor. Coach Allen said, "I'm concerned more with the hitting than with the pitching. College teams win more games on hitting than pitching. I'm disappointed that Nick Redeye, Indian catcher from New York, will not be eligible. He thought he was eligible but found that he had only 26 hours credit. Which is not enough." Redeye is a sure left handed hitter.
The fielding in last week's game looked better than last year, in the opinion of Knute Kresie. "The combination of Del Green on second, John Krum on third, Marshall Hulett on short, and Hunter on first looked good," Kresie added.
Warren Hodges was behind the bat and Larry Johnson, Dean Martin, and Bob Innis made up the outfield last Thursday. Substitutions were frequent during the game.
The following is a roster of this year's squad:
Eugene Alford, Lawrence (catcher,

English Professor Likes To 'Call a Drip a Drip'
Pittsburgh, Pa.—(UP)You're "cooking with gas" when you call a drip a "drip," and, what is more, you are contributing toward a fresher and livelier language, a Duquesne University English professor advises.
The newly-found defender of "slanguage," Dr. Martin I. J. Griffith, professor of English and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Duquesne University, believes that "it's great fun to call a drin a drin."
"Slang," Dr. Griffith said, "represents a continuous attempt upon the part of normal people everywhere to freshen and liven the living speech."
He explained that there is a weakness in language which makes common words, especially when overused, weak and ineffective. To freshen up our speech, therefore, we must lapse into slang, he said.
Beware of "Cant"
"S lang is justified on another score," he added. "English is particularly a fluid tongue, and we constantly seek euphemisms to express more elegantly words which represent the facts of life."
But the educator and authority on "jabber-wacky" cautioned linguists to distinguish between slang—the "solid" stuff—and "cant," which is merely the jargon of a special profession, trade or occupation.
The specialized terms used by a pilot, gangster, newpaperman, or garagemen would, he pointed out, not qualify as the "real thing."
"Slang is permissable—indeed desirable—so long as it is not overstrained for effect, not homemade, that is, unintelligible to everyone else," Dr. Griffith said.
Urgens Judicious Use
He listed such words as "drip," "lousy," "grind," as desirable "when incorporated" in the easy flow of colloquial speech.
Particularly, he declared, is slang necessary to fill a void in the English language, which, he said, "is singularly arid in certain words to express familiar relationships."
" 'Fiance' is too stiff and formal; 'boy friend' and 'girl friend' too colloquial," he said. " 'Sweetheart' is too strong and almost any other expression than the current slang one is too expressive or stilted. Slang fills a needed gap in the language. The over-precise, over-nice speaker is to be abrehed quite as much as the person whose speech is incomprehensible with slang," the professor declared.
But he warned that siang should be used "as any other condiment is used—sparingly but judiciously."
Divorce Ends As Kids Plead
Columbus, Ohio — (UP) — True love, aided by four small children, brought Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Rist together after the couple had been divorced for 30 minutes.
Mrs. Rist recently obtained a divorce from her husband on grounds of neglect and her husband was ordered to pay $100 a month for support and alimony.
The couple and their four children walked out of the courtroom but met in the hall to say goodbye. Rist made a final plea to his wife for a reconciliation and the children took up the cry.
A few moments later the couple walked back into the courtroom and found Common Pleas Judge Dana F. Reynolds.
"We've changed our minds," Rist said. "We're going back together."
Judge Reynolds agreed to strike the divorce and alimony from the court record.
South Gets Portable School
Atlanta, Ga. — (UP) — The South, caught in the middle of the national defense program, is adding one more war-time innovation—the portable school house.
Lester M. Marx, regional engineer of the Federal Works agency here, has recommended that over-crowded sectors be supplied with portable school houses. As families of workers follow spreading defense jobs, "the little red schoolhouse" would trail along.
The mushroom growth of cantoments and industrial centers has skyrocketed school populations in many areas beyond the capacity of the regular schools.
The plan is for sturdy, prefabricated wooden units, capable of being easily assembled or dismantled. This, said Marx, would relieve the overcrowded conditions of regular schools and assure uninterrupted study by children of migrant war workers.
More than 200 new permanent school houses are under construction now in the South but only a few of them will be ready for use this fall. Kerr thinks that the portable school, successfully tried in Vallejo, Calif., would be the answer.
Kerr pointed out that erection of a complete prefabricated school would run only between $15,000 to $30.00. These schools would be built in units and the entire school, or as many units as necessary would follow right behind the migrating population.

Eleven Men To Be Pledged By Military Frat
Eleven men will be pledged by Scabbard and Blade, national honorary military fraternity, at a dinner to be held tomorrow night preceding the annual ROTC ball, according to an announcement made this morning by Ben Matassarin, president of the fraternity. Formal pledging ceremonies will be held at the ball, at which time active members of the chapter will form an arch of sabers for the pledges.
Men pledged are: James Hayward Gillie, Frederick Griffith Bohannon, Frank Henry Emerson, William H. Duke, Howell Hill, Louis Frederick Lafferty, Burt Gustav Larson, E. Artell Metcalf, Selby Strong Soward, Paul Addison Trower, and Frank Ernest Wilcox, jr.
Pledges will undergo a week of training, after which initiation ceremonies will be held. Informal initiation will take place Friday evening, April 17, and formal initiation at sunrise on Sunday morning, April 19, on the parade grounds before Fowler shops. Pledge duties during the week will include interior guard duty on the campus, and walking post.
Principal speaker at the pledging dinner tomorrow will be Major B. L. Roberts, of the Army command and general staff school at Fort Leavenworth. Over eighty will attend the dinner, including dates of acts and pledges, alumni, associate members and guests.
Only students in advanced R.O.T. C. training are pledged to the fraternity, the first chapter of which was founded in 1803 at Wisconsin University.

The KANSAN Comments...
Some Call It Apple Poors
Some call it apple polishing—some call it common sense, to get to know your professors as individuals. But, whatever you call it, it isn't such a bad idea! Contrary to fairly general opinion, none of the professors at this University have been known to bite when sincerely approached.
Students who have been graduated with honors from the University — honored by friendships as well as by academic honors— have estimated that at least one-third of their education came from contact with their professors outside the classroom. Ask any University alumnus what he remembers about his college ten years after graduation and almost invariably he will recall some personal incident involving a favorite professor. If friendliness is apple polish then why not polish?
Whatever the reason for student stand-offishness, the result is not to be admired. It has resulted in a faculty versus student situation too many times. Such a division was apparent in the Jayhawker Board meetings this year, the same was true in the W.S.G.A. council discussions of an appointive council for women. This situation is one of the gravest faced by the Council-appointed "Unity" committee.
Is it fear of being called an apple polisher that keeps a student from making the first move toward friendship? Is it laziness, or a "don't care" attitude? Is there a faculty antipathy to such an approach?
This situation can be remedied—to the advantage of you as a student and to your University. The first move is up to the student body—give your professor a chance to show you that he is human. In so doing you can't help but gain. When you profit, so does the University—by having an enthusiastic and cooperative school community. Learn to know your professors—even though some may call it apple polishing.
Too Many Commentatlish
Politics is a new and interesting field for women observes Elizabeth Bussing in a current magazine. Miss Bussing could have seen her theory in action here on the Hill last week when 851 women voted in the W.S.G.A.election. K.U. women should have a head start in this field.
During the last two years, with the tremendous increase of interest in international affairs, there has suddenly sprung up, like mushrooms all over the country, a crop of radio commentators. Almost every man of normal intelligence who reads the newspapers regularly and possesses a passable voice seems suddenly to have envisioned himself as an authority on world problems, and to have been overwhelmed by the desire to distribute his great knowledge over the ether.
Thus one of our most learned and most recent professions has become corrupted. There was a day when years of experience and an exceptionable insight were prerequisites for members of the field. Then the commentator's words carried weight, and he was serving a useful function because this civilization has become entirely too complex for the untrained mind to grasp or comprehend.
There is still today a small group of reliable international authorities in the radio world such as smooth-tongued Raymond Gram Swing, energetic Edward R. Murrow, keen-
minded Elmer Davis, and much-traveled William L. Shirer. Even Hans Kaltenborn, despite his recent unjustified attacks upon labor, still holds a large following. However, these reliable voices are being drowned out by the almost unintelligible babblings of authorities sans authority, whose only contribution to their audiences seems to be confusion.
These erstwhile "experts" are the perpetrators of one of the worst frauds in radio history. Why should their opinions carry any more weight than the voice of the semi-informed man on the street? It is time that radio realizes that the public can be fooled just so long. Radio should clean up this mess itself!

DEAN SIMS
John Conard, college junior and journalist, is a darn good guy—but he does some funny things that often make us wonder about him. The note that was intercepted on its way to Saralena Sherman, also a college junior, follows:
Dear Saralena:
I ain't got no pin. I ain't got no money. But we can have an understanding. I ain't even got no money, but they tell me you can live on love. I realize that I ain't worth anything. I can't even keep my nails clean. We can grow a little garden. We can eat lettuce in the summer time. And store squashes in the cellar for the winter. Tell me, sweetheart, will you marry me.
P. S. I love you. And I want you to be my little bride
It's terrific news when one finds a couple of "boiled" Kappas walking around the campus—but I did. Shirley Wasson and Susie Wieder owe their baby-pink complexions to an excess of sun-bathing atop Gower place.
Bill Ellis, 1325 West Campus Road, recently wrote to a girl in Joplin, Mo. and requested an engagement for the coming week-end. In addition to the regular routine of asking for the date-he added a few pages of sentiments to sort of help things along.
A few days later he received a letter, not from the girl he had written to but from her mother.
"My dear Mr. Ellis," the letter read, "My daughter has been in the hospital with a nervous break-down for more than three months now. Might I suggest you get acquainted with her and then write those mushy letters."
Ellis now has a red face to go with his red hair.
The K.U. kids are hep to solid music, according to band leader Bob Crosby, who played for the Junior Prom of last year. In the current issue of "Music and Rhythm" Crosby lists the crowds he has played before that were most appreciative of "hot" music. K.U. is ranked as number six, following Boston, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
In the chemical engineering department a student came in yesterday and filled out a personnel data blank for future reference. He answered the first three questions with:
"My parents are of English ancestry, 20 years of age, and unmarried." (tch, tch).
Students at the University of Kansas buy approximately 5,000 theater tickets each week. This represents an average of more than a ticket a week for every student enrolled since the present enrollment is somewhat less than 4,000.
Students Serve As Guinea Pigs for Movies
A college campus offers an almost unlimited field for motion picture promotion and movie men go all-out to establish good will and attract the student patronage which amounts to nearly 50 per cent of the total busi-
During the nine-months of the regular school year Lawrence theaters sell 10,000 admissions per week, but during the summer months this figure is almost cut in half. Of course part of this difference is due to the fact that the best shows are released in the winter time when competition from outdoor recreation is less.
Students are a little more sophisticated and critical than the average citizen and are correspondingly more difficult to please. This is one reason for the use of a college city as a test tube for movie drawing power but a second important reason is the fact that there is undoubtedly a larger percentage of show-goers among students than among any other class of people.
University students are often used as guinea pigs for Hollywood productions. When film companies are uncertain as to the appeal of the picture to the general public, they often release it in a small college city before releasing it generally in the larger cities. Movie taste in a city such as Lawrence is unfailingly good; that is, the movies which go over in a small college city are almost certain to draw large crowds throughout the country.
Opportunities for movie promotion are multiplied tremendously on a college campus because of the large
number of campus activities which can be tied in with a current show.
The weekly Fine Arts recital was held at 3:30 this afternoon in Frank Strong auditorium.
Attendance records show that students like action pictures best with light musicals and comedies close behind. Semi-classical musicals are the least popular of all types of movies with campus movie-goers.
Fine Arts In Recital Thursday Afternoon
The program included Betty King, playing two cello numbers, Adagio by Breval, and Minuet by Becker. Arlene Nickels sang "Shepherd, Take Me by the Hand," and Betty Haney played the Bruch "Adagio from the Concerto in G minor."
Martha Dooley rendered the piano concerto in C minor No. III by Beethoven with orchestral parts on second piano by Prof. C. A. Prever.
The recital closed with a string ensemble composed of Marvin Zoschke, and Doris King, violin; Don Michel and Leora Adams, viola; John Ehrlich and Glenn Royer, cello. The selection was the first movement of Brahms' Sextet in G major.

Sports Reduce Pilot Failure, Army Learns
Maxwell Field, Ala.—(UP)—The material benefits of sports to the United States war effort have been proven here at the Southeast Air Corps training center, according to Maj. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer, commandant.
Giving facts and figures on the value of sports to army men instead of the familiar vague statements on the subject, Gen. Stratemeyer said that sports had "saved for the service" more
A physical training program has been instituted here which includes 34 outdoor games, four drill activities and 10 different aquatic exercises all an essential part of the curriculum for cadets.
than 500 American fighter pilots, who would have been eliminated a year ago.
"Let the figures speak for themselves," General Stratemeyer said. "They show that 43 per cent of each class of cadets was eliminated in the days before the physical training program was started, and only 41.3 per
out of the men in each class are dropped now for lack of inherent flying ability."
Weaver Started It
This marked decrease in cadet elimination has been noted since the all-round sports program was inaugurated nine months ago. And you can't mark this good record up to the inauguration of the replacement center idea alone—because qualifications for entrance have been lowered and the courses streamlined over a shorter period, the commanding officer explained.
The physical training program dates back to mid-summer, 1941, when then commanding Maj. Gen. Walter R. Weaver ordered it set up "to stress use of flying muscles, iron out civilian kinks and increase coordination."
General Stratemeyer said the aver-
General Stratemeyer said the average weight of cadets in the ten weeks of training following their arrival is almost two pounds more, and by the time they complete basic training, the weight has been upped five pounds. Muscles For War
"In case you think that archery badminton, basketball, tumbling, golf, swimming and ping-pong are only for enjoyment during the days of peace," Ernest B. Smith, director of physical education said, "we have proven their value here in conditioning America's sky fighters."
Here's the rest of the official figures. Before the physical training program was begun, 42 per cent of cadets entering primary school were eliminated; that figure has been cut now to 35 per cent. Eliminations at basic schools used to be 7.59 per cent, now they are only 6.87 per cent.
"Not a little of our success in reaching these goals is due to a conversion of the sports of peace to make muscles for war," General Stratemeyer said.
Officials Ask War Class To Be Prompt to Lectures
To avoid confusion caused by latecomers to the "World at War" lectures, University officials are requesting students and townspeople attending the lectures to be in their seats promptly at 7:30 p.m.
During the past two or three lectures there has been considerable confusion for the first few minutes because of those who come late, and the administration is soliciting the cooperation of those who plan to attend.
The speaker for Thursday night will be Dr. C. B. Realey, whose topic is "The British Empire." He will deal especially with the current problem relative to India.
The United States Civil Service Commission is now seeking junior chemists to perform research, investigative, or other work in some branch of chemistry. Women especially are urged to apply as war demands have created opportunities for technically trained psions.
Civil Service Seeks Chemists
Written tests are not required for the positions, which pay $2,000 a year. Completion of a 4-year course in a recognized college with 30 semester hours in chemistry is required, although senior students who will complete the required course within four months of the date of filing application may apply. Although no experience is required, preference in appointment may be given to applicants showing experience in chemical or related work.
No age limits are set for the examination. Applications must be filed with the Civil Service Commission, Washington, D.C., and will be accepted until the needs of the service have been filled.
Application forms and further information regarding this and other opportunities open to chemists in the federal government may be obtained at the Lawrence post office.
Shipbuilding Becomes No.1 Oregon Industry
Portland, Ore — (UP) — Shipbuilding, until four months ago Oregon's second largest industry, now is the leading employer in the state.
With the completion of another shipyard, now being built, an estimated 90.000 men will be employed by the industry.
Milling and logging, formerly Oregon's largest single industry, employed 50,000 men last year.
Prof. W, R. Maddox, of the department of political science, will take his municipal administration class to Kansas City, Mo., on a field trip Saturday morning.
Maddox Takes Municipal Ad Class To K.C. Saturday
Arrangements for the visit have been made through the cooperation of Chief Harold O. Anderson of the Kansas City Mo. police department,
The class will study police training for both recruits and members of the force, police procedure in arrests, and booking, police radio, and identification methods in the laboratory. The class will spend the morning on the field trip and will return shortly after noon.

Estes Commission Sponsors Discussion Of Summer Session
To give interested students some idea of the summer session at Estes Park, Colorado, the Estes Commission of the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.-C.A. sponsored a discussion of "problem areas" Tuesday afternoon at Hienley House. Royal Humbert, instructor of religion, and W. T. Paullin, instructor of history, led the discussion.
The topic treated Tuesday was "For What Are We Fighting?" Other topics treated in recent "problem area" discussions are "Democracy in Wartime," "Religious Resources," "How Relevant is the Pacifists Position?" and "Post-War Reconditioning."
The term "problem areas" is used by the group to refer to topics made pertinent by current events.

Will Speak On U.S. Folksongs
Wiliam A. Owens, professor of the department of English at Texas A. & M. College, and one of the nation's outstanding authorities on American folklore, will speak on "American Folksongs" in Fraser theater at 4:30 Friday afternoon, April 17.
Owens spent several years making phonographic recordings of folk songs through the southwest, particularly in Texas, and last year was stationed at the University of Texas in charge of the bureau of folk materials. He has made between 500 and 600 recordings of American folksongs and ballads, and is now working on a book of these collections to be published with both words and music.
Three years ago, upon hearing some of Owen's recordings, Lawrence Tibbett, American baritone of note, was so impressed that he arranged for a number of the songs to be included in his concert repertoire.
Show How to Cook For War Emergency
Miss Edna Hill, professor of home economics, demonstrated cooking relative to the emergency Monday night before a group of women who have completed the work in the Red Cross nutrition classes. The demonstration showed how to obtain the most nutrition with the greatest saving and the least work.
Students in the home economies department distributed and explained pamphlets entitled "Food Will Help Win the War."
After the discussion on recipes, the women were invited into the home economics kitchens where the students were demonstrating some of the proposed recipes.
The recipes stressed in the demonstration were those calling for some of the lesser used products and meats. The desserts used syrups instead of sugar.
Students who aided Miss Hill were: Dorothy May, Priseille Adams, Georgia Mae Landrith, Virginia Heckman, Geraldine Buehler, Mary Louise McNown, Margaret Butter, Jean Morgan, Lou Allison, Jane Kinnamon, and Margaret Whitehead.
Dean Lawson Speaks In Coffeyville, Topeka
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, is making addresses today in Coffeyville. He spoke at the junior college this morning, at the high school this afternoon, and will speak to the parent-teachers association this evening.
Tomorrow, Dean Lawson will address the Topeka high school assembly. Prof. Waldemar Geltch of the School of Fine Arts will play several violin selections on the same program.
Raisins Satisfy Sweet Tooth
Berkeley, Calif.—(UP)—The Nutritional Department of the University of California comes to the aid of people whose "sweet tooth" may not be satisfied under sugar rationing. Dr. Agnes Fay Morgan states that dried fruit such as raisins, figs and prunes will do much to keep the clamoring molar within bounds.
Cancel Spring Tour For University Band
Russell L. Wiley, director of the university band, stated that it would be inadvisable for the band to take its annual spring tour because of the cancellation of the Easter vacation. It has been the custom for the band to tour part of the state and present concerts in the major towns visited.
Last year the band gave concerts in Garnett, Iola, Independence, Chanute, Emporia, Augusta, Beulah, Eldorado, and Hutchinson.
Delegates Tour K.U. Art Exhibits
Fifty delegates to the Western art convention which is meeting in Kansas City this week were guests of the University department of design at a tea this afternoon in room 320 of Frank Strong hall. The tea followed a tour of the University and Haskell institute art exhibits sponsored by the Kansas State Federation of Art.
Exhibits at the University include weaving by Miss Marjorie Whitney, head of the department of design; pottery by Norman Plummer, ceramist of the State Geological Survey; sculpture by Loyal Frazier, Lawrence; a character doll by Ruth Gaynor Alley; book binding by Betty Schwart, instructor of design; and lithograph drawings by Max Ballinger, instructor in the graphic arts department at the University of Iowa.
Sculpture, wood carvings, pottery book binding, metal work, and jewelry made by University students are also on exhibit.
Three faculty members of the university department of design will give demonstrations tomorrow afternoon at the convention in Kansas City.
Arvid Jacobson, instructor in design, will demonstrate lithography; T. D. Jones, assistant professor of design, will exhibit his color machine; and Foco Frazier, instructor in design, will give a demonstration in sculpture.
Miss Marjorie Whitney, head of the design department, and Miss Maude Ellsworth, instructor in education, will also attend the convention.
Seattle — (UP) — The American motorist will have the choice of two radical and opposite automobile designs when the war is over and auto production resumes, according to Gilbert Rohde, New York industrial designer.
Vast Change In Post-War Auto
The first will be a faster, safer, simpler machine, with fenders swallowed up in the body, and the front end rounded so the automobile will shear off to the side instead of crumpling in a head-on collision.
According to Rhode, a consultant designer for Hudson Motor company, the family car of the future either will be a super-streamlined job with a rounded front or it will be a "box on wheels" built without axles.
The second type family auto will be a bi, comparatively slow vehicle, entirely axle-less. Although it is not a designer's dream, it will be ideal for the family that wants to take "half the household" on trips.
Miessner, member of the council of past presidents since 1924, presented his resolution from the floor of the Milwaukee convention. It was approved by the conference, and a copy transmitted immediately to President Roosevelt. The resolution, in part, reads:
(continued from page one)
at Milwaukee last week.

MIESSNER PLANS--whereas, our President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, has publicly voiced the need for more frequent national expressions through music, such as bands playing and parading, patriotic singing and other public demonstrations.
Be it therefore resolved

This marks the second visit to the campus of Elmer A. Zilch. His visitation last year, impeded by a vast street demonstration in New York, Chicago, and Eudora, was hailed as the greatest event in Lawrence history since Quantrill's raid.

Mueller was offered a place in the Army band if he would join the band at once, but he thought that he would rather come back and finish the school year and take a chance the position might be open when the year is over. "The officer in charge would not promise that there would still be a place for men then." Mueller said.
Time required to reach Washington from Lawrence was 36 hours, and the return trip was clipped off in 35 hours. Both trips were made in less time than could have been made by bus.
The trip to Washington was made under pleasant conditions with the exception that Mueller encountered snow at St. Louis, Mo. He also said that on his homeward trip the weather was rainy through the states of Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio.
His baggage when he started on the trip consisted of his horn case and a large traveling bag. In St. Louis, however, he sent the large bag on by express.
"The trip was fun," Mueller states, "hitch-hiking is a great life and the fellows with whom you ride usually ask you in to eat with them when meal time arrives."

A wild spot in the mountains is the setting of the third act. Here the smugglers are encamped for the night and Carmen foretells her own death in the dramatic card-playing scene. She is now cold to Jose, but glows for tooread Escamillo. The two men fight, and Jose, learning that his mother is dying, leaves with Micela, bearer of the ill news.
A brilliant ballet danced to the Faradole from Bizet's "L'Arlesienne Suite," opens the last act on the square in Seville. Before admiring crowds, Escamillo, resplendent in pink and gold, and Carmen in dazzling white and gold, with her usual scarlet flower and fan, promise to plight their troth if he is victorious over the bull.
Escamillo enters the arena, the crowds follow. Carmen is sought out by Don Jose, and implored to return his love. She spurns him, and declares her fidelity to Escamillo. Overcome with jealousy and despair, Jose stabs Carmen as the cheering crowds acclaim the triumphant toreador. Exotic, vivacious Carmen has disdained love for the last time.

Navy Needs Ability Plus From V-2 To V-7
The Navy must build to it men by an intelligent, long-ran count of the fact that "every man in the Navy is a specialist." Besides teaching more than 50 trade skills to recruits who are streaming through its training cations, the Navy must select and train thousands of college men who their educational backgrounds are already qualified for ratings and commissions. Part of this training is accomplished by means of the V program.
The U.S. Navy is noted for its fighting ability, but it takes more than ability to make a navy which will be effective in the wars of today. Or, to quote Admiral Harold R. Stark, former chief of naval operations, "A navy is composed of ships, men, and bases—and the most important of these are ships, men, and bases."
The Navy must build to its authorized strength of 500,000 men by an intelligent, long-range program which takes full ac-

WSGA to Organize Co-ed Service Corp
Plans for a Co-ed Volunteer Corps based on an army organization plan with commissioned officers and privates for all women of the University are being made by the Women's Self-Governing Association.
Purpose of the organization will be to aid in all defense drives including stamps, paper, and tinfoil, and to keep former University students now in the forces of the army and navy informed of events at K.U. The group plans to send copies of The University Daily Kansan and the Jayhawker to the former students as well as to write letters to acquaintances in the army and navy. The University organization will co-operate with the United Service Organization.
First meeting of the group will be held at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. All University women interested in belonging to the corps may attend. Election of officers will be held at the meeting, and all officers and privates will be sworn in immediately after the election.
Heading the committee sponsoring the group is Jill Peck, college sophomore. Other members of the committee are Lila May Reetz, college freshman; Georgia Ferrel, college junior; Joan Bastian, college sophomore; and Joy Howland, college sophomore.
Beginning with Sunday's edition of the Kansan, each Sunday editorial will be contributed by a member of the University faculty. The general subject for all Sunday editorials is "Post War Planning." This editorial policy will be in effect the remainder of this semester.
Zilch's Ship Lost
☆ ☆ ☆
FLASH SPECIAL FROM THE KANSAN'S CORRESPONDENT IN TARAKA, BORNEO, APRIL 10. . . The rocket ship bearing the famed journalist, Elmer A. Zilch to the University campus ran out of kerosene and is believed to be down somewhere in the jungles near here.
Several Tarakans reported today they saw the ship passing over their poy fields and that she looked like she was in trouble. Since that time there has been no report from his high-powered crystal set aboard his ship.
Harou Nassou, a primitive farmer near here reported that he thought the trouble with Zilch's ship was the double alcohol-nitrate pumps in the anterior of the double-cylindered compression unit seemed to be a hair off half millimeter clearance, which, added Harou Nassou, is not up to Zilch specifications.

4-in-1 Dancer Performs In Hoch Monday
When Angna Enters the stage, her entire theater troupes in with her—she is her own scenarist, designer, director, and actor. And when Miss Enters presents her program in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 Monday night, she will maintain an unbroken
silence. She doesn't need to talk. Her face, hands, eyes, body, and their various gestures make up what is needed to convey the message this talented actress is saying. She speaks in pantomime.
FREDERICK J. MAYER
Further acknowledgement of her talents was given in the award of two Guggenheim fellowships that enabled her for two summers to do research in Greece and Egypt. She is the only dancer to receive this award.
ANGNA ENTERS
Miss Enters is something distinctly new in entertainment. She dances, acts, pantomimes, with such sureness of interpretation and such consummate skill that Newsweek called her "the most individual artist America has developed in recent years," and Edward Cushing of the Brooklyn Eagle has declared that she is "the only American dancer whose work may be considered artistically significant."
Awarded Fellowship
Besides the dramatic and terpsichorean talents which Miss Enterts will display Monday night, she is a talented guitarist, painter, and writer. This year the Metropolitan Museum of Art purchased her famous painting, "Spain Says 'Salud'", having already given exhibits in over 22 art centers in the United States and London.
In the literary line she is responsible for "First Person Plural", pub-

Backward Boy Makes Good Zippy Sketch of Zilch
BY J. PONTIUS WEST
An excerpt from "People You Think You Might Like to Know, but Wouldn't."
Zilch, E. A., b. 1880, d ... Father: Some confusion here.
Mother: Jessie A. Zilch. Born in Upper Queens, New York,
April 29, 1880. Famous as the Founder and Patron Saint of the
New York Daily Peep and Bleat, the discoverer of type lice,
and the man who first discovered what makes the light go out inside refrigerators.
Minds in the Making
In early boyhood, was considered somewhat backward, but came out of it nicely at about the age of 14 when he began to walk and enunciate simple words such as "dice," "beer," and "blonde." His formal education is believed to be somewhat sketchy. He attended several small exclusive schools, but interest in education with a little persuasion from various long suffering headmasters.
After receiving no degree from any institution of higher learning, he traveled widely between Forty-second and Forty-third streets in New York, and later published a widely-read travel book entitled, "Variations in Wine List Prices in Various Pubs in the Vicinity of Downtown New York." For this work he expected the Pulitzer prize, which, however, at the last minuteailed to materialize.
Blues in the Night
At about the age of 35, he married Minnie LaRue, a well known diva on the New York theatrical stage, who later left him on charges of extreme neglect. After his unfortunate marriage he turned to the newspaper world and founded, in 1920's, the Daily Peep and Bloat, nat famous New York newspaper. At the last report, Zilch was wanering in the wilds of Tibet gathering material for an opus entitled, My Lama Done Tol' Me."
Old Feline Canvas On Block For $7
Philadelphia — (UP) — The portrait of one of Philadelphia's most mous cats has been unearthed in an auction room and a former friend of the feline has purchased the canvas r $7.
"Tix," angora toast of the city's ninety fashionable Green's Hall, has been dead 40 years and every one had forgotten that Ben Austin, artist, had painted her portrait. Insurance Broker Walter Linn found the picture in an auction house, instigated and found his hunch was it—it was the painting of Tix. Linn, who 44 years ago was a cub porter on the old Philadelphia homes, remembered the cat from the ys when—if he could scrape toher 50 cents for a deluxe dinner at een's—he could find her stalking justically through the lobby, din-room, or wherever else she wanted go.
Mahlon W. Newton, owner of the hel, liked angora cats. Tix was one he owned. Tix stood 16 inches in the floor to the tips of her ears I had a tail 15 inches long. The's mother was valued at $1,000. Her 18th birthday Tix died. A spencer and decorator made a silked casket. Hundreds of Philadelphians called to pay last respects. Tix was buried with ceremony in yard of the Newton homestead at odbury, N.J.
Post-War Plans To Be Discussed
Presenting Hilden Gibson as moderator and three student speakers, the Forums Board is sponsoring another broadcast from the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building at 9:30 Wednesday evening.
The topic will be "American Students Look at Post-War Planning," and is a program like a broadcast 2 weeks ago which featured foreign students discussing the same question.
Students discussing the problem are Grier Stewart, college senior; John Waggoner, college junior; and Fred Eberhardt, college senior.
Gas Stations Turn To Other Items
Youngstown, Ohio — (UP) — Profits from "extra items" are fast taking the place of proceeds formerly received from the sale of gasoline and tires at filling stations in the Youngstown area, it was announced by Lloyd Jugenheimer, executive secretary of the Independent Gasoline Dealers' Association.
They will rival the corner drug store as a place where you can buy almost anything.
Some of the new articles added to the regular stock are flashlights, candy, fire extinguishers, and one dealer has put in a line of garden and flower seeds. The latter dealer expects to have plants before long.
"Garden seeds and plants are some of the many extra items added to the regular stock," Jugendheimer said. "People will be taking to gardening, and the station owners can use the extra nickels derived from their sale."
Many gasoline dealers in rural districts are putting in grocery items that people used to drive to purchase at the big supermarkets.
Spencer Burtis, college junior, was appointed editor of the Jayhawker yesterday. Duane Smith, a college sophomore, was appointed business manager for the second time. Appointments are made by the Jayhawker advisory board.

Billions for Allied victory . . . or for tribute to dictators? There is only one answer: Buy U.S. Defense Bonds and Stamps.
Students in the University high school gave a tea at 3 o'clock this afternoon for their supervisors, practicing principles of food planning they have learned in a nutrition course sponsored by the Red Cross and the University department of home economics.
Nutrition Students Prove Their Skill
The course is an attempt to utilize the stimulus provided by the war, to emphasize the need and value of proper nutrition, Miss Olga Hoesley, associate professor of home economics and director of the course, said today. Special attention is being paid to dairy products, whole-grain cereals, fruits, vegetables, and meats, she said, since these foods are most valuable in maintaining health.
The class meets twice weekly and will run for seven weeks, at which time an examination over the course will be given. Those who pass will be given a Red Cross nutrition certificate.
Evans, Harris Appointed To Teaching Positions
Dick B. Evans, class of 1941, and Eleanor Harris, college senior, have been elected to teaching positions by the Teachers' appointment bureau, H. E. Chandler, secretary of the bureau, said today.
Mr. Evans who received his degree as master of science in 1941, will go to Miltonvale as principal of the high school there. Miss Harris, who will be graduated this spring as a bachelor of arts, will teach English in the high school at Cortez, Colo.

FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1942
FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Kansas basketball patrons have Karl Schalldeman, who is to be official starter for the Kansas Relays next week, for the Jayhawk's impressive court record for the last two decades. Schalldeman came to K.U. in 1919 as track and basketball coach; he formerly had coached at the now defunct Missouri Wesleyan and later at Baker University. . . He found guiding Kansas' indoor track and basketball fortunes at the same time too much a task. After Kansas' court opener that season—which the Jays dropped to Washburn—Schalldeman asked "Phog" Allen, at that time serving as athletic director, to take over the Kansas court reins. "He asked me about 10:30 one morning," "Phog" reminisces, "and about 1:30 that afternoon I accepted." . . . Kansas played that night under new management against Emporia State to win by a meager margin. Although Phog's team had such greats as "Stubby" Haslett, "Dutch" Lonberg, present Northwestern basketball mentor, and John Bunn, former basketball coach and now dean of men at Stanford, it gathered only third out of the old Missouri Valley conference that year. . . . Allen knew that his crews would "take a licking for a few years," but by 1922 he had hit his stride. Kansas won 15, dropped one game to tie for top honors; in '23 the Jayhawks boasted an all victorious team. . . Meanwhile Schalldeman put out winning track teams for Kansas and served as line coach in football under George "Potys" Clark. He left here to take over coaching duties on the cinder path at Washington State in 1926. From there he went to Michigan State where he last year completed his first season. Yes, indirectly Karl Schalldeman is responsible for making Kansas basketball supremacy as inevitable as first-of-the-month bills.
Up Minnesota way comes warning from a powerful track squad which intends to make a definite impression on the Kansas Relay records come April 18, warm weather, and sunshine. In the weight events the Gophers have Ray Milberg sophomore prospect, and veteran Bob Fitch. Milberg puts the shot well over the 46-foot mark; Fitch won the discus throw at the Texas Relays this year with 156 feet 9 inches, and Milberg placed second in the discus and third in the shot. . . Minnesota's star pole vaulter Jack DeField, will renew competition with Nebraska's Harold Hunt at the Kansas Relays. In the Texas meet, DeField placed second behind Hunt with a 13-foot 6-inch leap. . . Minnesota's dual meet with Nebraska was canceled, making the Kansas events the Gopher's first outdoor appearance. . . . Minnesota's thinclads were privileged to pick the Relays queen this year. Team members have voted on the 12 pictures of University co-led candidates, but they haven't put out any information on balloting results other than they bypassed blonde and brunette candidates to favor "what appeared to be" a brownette.
Performances in the preliminaries of the intramural track meet yesterday assured varsity track coach W. H. Bill Hargiss, that with patience, he can produce a good track team.
Sun Favors I-M Meet Finals
Coach "Phog" Allen has scheduled a baseball game with the Reception Center team at Ft. Leavenworth to be played here at 3:30 p.m. April 14.
April 14 "This will be no ordinary game," assured coach Allen, "fans will get a chance to see some 'big time' ball players in action at this game."
Jayhawker Nine To Open Against Ft. Leavenworth
He went on to explain that Ralph Houk, former football and baseball star at the University, would be on the team which will play against the Jayhawk varsity.
Houk recently enlisted in the army. Prior to his enlistment he was signed with the New York Yankees and was to play with the Kansas City Blues this season as a catcher. He played last year at Binghamton, N. Y., where a Yankee farm team is located.
Other professional and semi-professional ball players will be sure to play in the game Dr. Allen expects.
"I don't believe we've had any too much practice for the game," Allen said, "and our chances for much more practice are not very good in the short time left before April 14."
The ball diamond is still too muddy to permit infield practice but the squad has been working out each evening by throwing and by hitting in the cage at the north end of the practice field.
Disastrous Fire Now termed a Blessing
Frame structures of the 20's which were destroyed, were replaced with concrete buildings and the city is now safe from bad fires, in the opinion of defense directors.
Astoria, Ore. — (UP) — Astoria's devastating fire in 1922 was a major disaster, but now city leaders feel that it was helpful from the standpoint of civilian defense.
skinned 5 feet 11 1-4 inches to win the high jump (and vaults equally well), John Reynolds, Frank Stannard, and Clark Hargiss (coach's son), all who showed speed to spare in the hurdle preliminaries and Gene Roberts, who makes his shadow step to keep up with him in the dashes, would look good on any track squad. And they'll probably be running for Kansas. Only catch is they are all freshmen, must wait a year for varsity competition.
The concrete basements of stores have been suggested as air-raid shelters, as well as viaducts under the city sidewalks.
K.U. Relays Draw Class Of Midwest

With finals in the broad jump, high jump, and shot put complete, the intramural track meet will be culminated this afternoon on the outdoor stadium track.
Owing to the rain yesterday, the track will be slow, but the larger oval will facilitate running the dashes for regulation distance whereas the indoor track was too short.
Preliminaries and semi-finals in the hurdles and dash events were completed last night. Because of the short track the 100-yard event was cut to 80 yards as was the 120 yard low hurdle race. Regulation distances will be run in the finals on the quarter-mile track.
Event finals to be held today are 100-yd. dash, 220-yd. dash, 440-yd.

Plastics and Paint Subject of Talks
Memphis, Tenn. — (UP) — Military requirements for all types of plastics and varying uses for luminescent materials during total and partial blackouts will be discussed at the 103rd meeting of the American Chemical Society here April 20 to 24.
More than 3,000 chemists, industrialists and representatives of allied fields will attend the meeting, and programs have been arranged by 16 of the Society's 18 professional divisions.
Other speakers will include Dr. W. B. Wauer of the Pittsburgh Glass Co. Pittsburgh, Pa.; Dr. S. L. Bass, of the Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Mich, and Lieut. E. T. McBride, office of chief of ordinance, War Department, Washington.
The Society's division of paint, varnish and plastics chemistry will hear 24 papers. Dr. C. E. Barnett of the New Jersey Zinc Co., Palmerton, Pa., will discuss methods of measuring the low, levels of illumination under which many military and some civilian operations may need to be performed during wartime.
In Engine School
2-Year Course
Dean J. J. Jakosky of the School of Engineering and Architecture announced today that the school will offer a two year course in the training of skilled craftsmen. The faculty and the board of Regents have approved.
Many students, because of financial and military reasons have requested a program that will enable them to gain a certificate of industrial technology in two years. This training is primarily to fit men for positions as foreman, technical supervisors, unit supervisors, draftsmen, and machinists.
The two year course is no more difficult than the 4- and 5-year course that is in effect now. It is merely an abridged course stressing shop and machinery work.
The entrance requirements are the same and the fees have not been changed.
Those who complete the 2-year course may continue to their 4-year course and receive a degree without repeating any work previously completed.
So many students have sought copies of the four-color print of Fraser hall which recently appeared on the Summer Session poster, that a limited number of copies have been placed on sale at the Alumni Office and the Kansan business office. The print is 8 by 10 inches, and sells at 15 cents.-Adv.

Don't all leave school at once!
Co-Ed Becomes More Serious Than Mom
V-6 classification covers nearly all of the Navy's 55 petty officer specialist ratings. If you are familiar with the practical idiosyncracies of the common garden variety typewriter, and can decipher as well as take shorthand, then you are the Navy's dream of the perfect yeoman. Opportunities in this classification are varied and wide, but there is a place for almost anyone who has a hobby with any practical value.
Athens, Ga. — (UP) — The co-ed of today is more serious than her prototype of a generation ago.
At least that's the conclusion reached by Dr. Joseph B. Gittler, associate professor of sociology at the University of Georgia, in his forthcoming book "From Pinafore to Martarboard."
According to Dr. Gittler, the college co-ed has passed through three different stages. First she was the prim and tailored champion of emancipation and suffrage. Then with the roaring twenties she was a short-skirted lass with a flask in her pocket book and no objection to "petting."
But the college girl of today has world problems, psychology, science, journalism, and "getting a job" on her mind.
Dr. Gittler said that today's co-ed wears "a definite Monday-to-Friday attire which stamps her immediately." According to the sociologist you can set a girl off as a co-ed if she's wearing dirty white saddle oxfords, socks, sloppy sweaters with sleeves pushed up to the elbows, and a single strand of pearls.
The far-famed V-7 is for junior, senior, or graduate students between the ages of 20 and 27 inclusive. That is the best way to insure completion of your college education, at the same time doing essential work for the government.
There are infinite details, but they will be cleared up by a short conversation with Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar, and campus authority on things naval and military.

The KANSAN Comments...
War—1918 and 1942
In 1917 and 1918 the University of Kansas initiated numerous war courses—aviation, wireless, food conservation, and many others. Hill organizations campaigned to provide money, books, and entertainment for Jayhawk soldiers. Convocation,speakers preached total destruction of the Kaiser's Germany. Students doubly oversubscribed Liberty Loan quotas. Exercise and drilling was compulsory for all men. Professors, attempting to find flour substitutes, ate coffee-ground cookies and reported that they were both delicious and nutritious.
But the University did not pop into all-out action over night. Then, as now, much time slipped by while the war program was being formulated. Then, as now, time was all-important—minutes meant lives.
In 1942, the University organized a complete all school—both faculty and student-defense program. The principal features of this program are defense stamp sales, three-term school year, the three-term basis for activities, dissemination of information about military service for University men, and a calisthenics class. In addition, the University Extension division is holding defense classes on the Hill and throughout the state.
The demands of World War II, the Four Freedoms Fight, falls heavily on American colleges and universities. This is a battle of machines and mechanics, of science and technicians, of populations and leaders. The fronts cover the globe. Everyone must work and everyone must fight. More is at stake than ever before.
The University of Kansas and all American universities must hasten to provide the country with able officers and fighting men and with trained technicians. The fighting forces of America and her Allies around the globe must be maintained and strengthened. Our industries must produce not only for ourselves but for the entire free world.
Sacrifices will be necessary—lives and money will be lost. Few luxuries will remain; former necessities will become luxuries. Food, clothing, and entertainment will be simpler.
University students have a gigantic responsibility in winning the war and winning the peace that follows. Shirking and slacking will lose all. J.K.
The anticipated drop in University enrollment hasn't arrived on the scale expected. However it may be only deferred. High school enrollment has dropped by about 50,000 pupils in the 20 states covered by the North Central Association of colleges and secondary schools.
As a defense effort many colleges and universities have arranged their programs on a 12-month basis. At a recent educational conference in San Francisco the opinion was expressed that a 12-month program in all public schools would be desirable. Thereby the wasteful three months vacation would be eliminated and give a new and better use of pupils' time.
Men of all ages and conditions have two ideas about themselves observes Stanley Walker. First, they have a romantic attitude toward women and second, they are observant about women. The grove and the stadium provide evidence for the first. Inhabitants of the windows in the anatomy building could testify to the second.
The annual grocery bill in the United States is $14\frac{1}{2}$ billion dollars, which is the highest in the whole world. Nevertheless, as a result of unbalanced meals, many suffered from undernourishment.
Frantie Los Angeles policemen spread a life net, then went to the roof of a building to coax a girl not to jump. "Why," she replied, "I had no such intention. I am taking a sun bath."

Being given the air by the femme of his choice to the Delt's annual spring party, Harold took pen in hand and wrote—Betty Grable (THE Betty Grable) and asked her to come to the party.
This was only day-before-yesterday so he hasn't had time to receive a reply from her.
(Boy!)
Bette Leimert, Alpha Chi, has invented a fool-proof method of solving the early morning problem of "whether or not I should arise now." She claims a positive way to make the correct decision is based upon the eye-lids—if the eye-lids flutter when the person first opens his eyes upon waking in the morning, go back to sleep. If the eye-lids don't flutter upon the initial opening, get up—all is well.
A goodly portion of the D.U. chapter attended the opera Wednesday night and on returning to the home fireside opened a serious discussion of the various musical aspects of the entertainment. That is, all went along the path of seriousness until someone asked brother Don Gill what he thought of the opera—whether it was musically good or bad.
(Have you heard about the Phi Gam who used this method and stayed in bed four days before he found he had an eye-lash under his eye-lid.)
"Teh, tch, didya see that Babe that did the hula-hula dance? Gosh!" neurotically beamed the entranced Donald.
The Pi Phi chapter went on a rampage after the opera Wednesday night—the arrow-wearers who didn't attend the program get the basic blame for starting it.
Beginning at approximately 2 a.m. alarm clocks began sounding; every few minutes a new clock would break in and join the chorus. It wasn't long until the whole chapter was dashing madly about trying to find the hidden clocks. A half-hour, and the house again was in quietness.
Came 3 a.m. and six females, running in total darkness, dashed from room to room yelling, "Have you seen it?"
All the Pi Phi's in bed, jumped out and yelled, "What?"
At this point Jeanne Anderson blew up. Swearing vengeance on any that disturbed her again, she locked her door and again retired.
Each and every Pi Phi (excepting Jeanne) marched by her door on the way to their rooms and rapped loudly on the door separating them from the fum- ing refugee.
Eating munitions would be nothing to eating peanuts these days, since peanuts rate priority with the government. The "goobers" value in the explosives industry is making them scarce as well, experts say. Since peanut oil has been discovered to be an excellent ingredient for nitro-glycerine government orders have frozen present crops to be used as seed in future years.
The little Spanish peanuts are the ones most wanted by the munitions manufacturers as they are very oily, containing forty or fifty per cent fat. Prices of shelled peanuts have sky-rocketed during the past four months rising from four cents to fifteen cents per pound.
U. S. to Take Peanuts To Make Munitions
Peanuts will come into their own if it becomes necessary to ration oleo-margerie, lard, butter, and other cooking compounds. Its oil is very desirable for cooking as it does not smoke nor score as readily as other compounds. Not only that, peanut oil makes fried-in-deep-fat foods even more delicious.
If the peanut situation really becomes critical, as well it might, peanuts will disappear from candy bars—if we can get the chocolate and sugar to make the candy bars in the first place.
The chances of the American woman for remaining a trim 100 pounds are also enhanced by the possibility that peanut butter will soon be a
Many people in years past have planted peanuts in their gardens — back in the days before they were called "Victory Gardens." Rabbits have always liked peanuts which will bring about a different situation this summer. Each Victory Garden will have a row of peanuts which will be carefully guarded by members of the family who will stand guard in shifts, depending on the number in the family—also the number of rabbits.

Summer Terms Draw Inquiries
High school students to be graduated this spring are showing unusual interest in the University's program to shorten the time required complete college, G. B. Smith, dean of the School of Education and director of the summer session, said today. Several hundred inquiries have already been received in his office from prospective high school graduates.
Boys faced with military service and who must choose between temporary employment and partial completion of a college course will find the new program especially attractive, he said. If the present draft age limit remains, it will be possible for some boys to receive degrees before being called to serve. It will be possible to receive 12 hours of credit this summer by attending both sessions.
Courses will be offered in 32 departments during the regular 8-week session from June 2 to July 24, and during the new 4-week session from July 27 to August 21 a minimum program of new and supplementary courses designed particularly for students who wish to shorten the time required for graduation by carrying required or general courses, will be given. Graduate courses thus will not be emphasized in the short session. The Schools of Law and Medicine will maintain separate schedules from that of the College.
The regular summer session bulletin will be ready for distribution sometime this month, Smith said, and in the meantime interested students may call at his office at 103 Fraser to examine the list of specific courses to be offered. His office has also prepared a series of special booklets dealing with the summer session, and these may be obtained at the education office.
Sisters Plan Reunion After Half Century
Gainesville, Texas — (UP) — A death notice has brought together two sisters who lived within 25 miles of each other for more than half a century without knowing it.
The notice concerned the passing of City Marshal Jim Alexander, 85, of Marietta, Okla. Because of his name and the fact that he was born in Florence, Ala, Mrs. George W. Myers, 77, of Gainesville thought he might be a long-lost brother.
She was ill, but relatives began corresponding and learned that Alexander was her brother and that their sister, Mrs. B. B. Askew, 80, also lived at Marietta, although she too was ill.
The sisters planned a reunion as soon as their health permitted. They were of the four children of Richard Alexander and his wife of Florence, Ala. Both parents died however and the four children were taken by relatives.
Mrs. Myers the former Sarah Alexander, came to Dallas and later married, moving to Gainesville. Her sister, Mamie, married Askew at Woodville, Ala., and they moved eventually to Lebanon, Love County, Okla. The brother, Jim, followed. The Myers also lived on a farm a few miles west of Marietta but never learned of the nearby presence of Alexander and Mrs. Askew.
Fannie Alexander, the fourth child, moved to Florida with an uncle and all trace of her was lost.

Minnesota Fund Is Largest In Nation
St. Paul, Minn. — (UP) — Minnesota's trust fund is the largest of any state in the nation.
State treasurer Julius Schmahl reported that the trust fund totals more than $110,000,000.
"No other state in the union with the exception of Texas, has a comparable amount bound in trust," Schmahl said.
Texas ranks second to Minnesota, he said, on the strength of resources obtained from state-owned oil lands.
Minnesota's trust funds, explained Schmahl, have been built up by the sale of timber, mineral, and agricultural lands and through the collection of occupational taxes on iron ore.
Revenues from the fund go to the support of the state public school system, the state university, correctional institutions, and for road and bridge maintenance and improvement.
He estimated that the state's trust fund will reach $200,000,000 before the state's ore resources are exhausted.
"Most states admitted to the union before Minnesota sold their school and other public lands on a liberal basis to encourage settlement and development of the state and used the money for immediate needs with no thought for the future," Schmahl explained. "Minnesota's pioneers, however, conceived a plan for conserving these resources for the benefit of future generations."
MSC Seeks Applications For Calendar Manager

The cast for the all-student play, "Night Must Fall," which is being sponsored by the dramatic workshop started rehearsals for the production this week.
Included in the cast are Don Mitchell, business senior, as Lord Chief Justice; Virginia Davis, college freshman, as Mrs. Bramson; Edith Ann Fleming, college junior, as Olivia Grayne; Joe Nelson, college sophomore, as Hubert Laurie; Betty Lou Perkins, college sophomore, as Nurse Libby; Mary Morrison, college sophomore, as Mrs. Terence; Jane Feake, college sophomore, as Dora Parkoe; Don Mitchell, business senior, as Inspector Belsize; and Dan Bachmann, college freshman, as Dan the bellboy.
Harlan Cope, college sophomore, is directing the play. He will be assisted by Connie Moses, college sophomore. Stage manager is Ruth Kelley, college junior.
The play is the story of a bellboy who becomes involved in a murder. The plot centers around the way in which he meets and contemplates the murder of a rich old lady.
Red Cross Workers Get Yarn Shipment
The Hill Red Cross committee has just received a new shipment of material for hospital gowns, Mrs. Paul B. Lawson, chairman of the committee in charge, announced today. Anyone interested in Red Cross work may do machine stitching Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons from 2 until 5 o'clock in room 116, Fraser hall.
At present no yarn for knitting is available in either the Hill or the city Red Cross rooms. Because of the large number of persons desiring to knit throughout the county, it is difficult to get yarn; another shipment is expected, however, in a few days. There is no hand sewing to be done at present.
A Cappella Choir To Star April 20
The annual home concert of the University A Cappella Choir of 80 voices under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout will be given Monday evening, April 20th, and not on April 13th as announced in the K-Book.
The group will present a program of choral numbers, over half of which will be secular in character.
The concert will be given in Hoch auditorium and will be open to the public.

Desires No Classification
Regarding her stage art, she is not averse to being catalogued as a modernist, but personally she does not care to imprison herself within a classification. She dances as no other dancer conceives the dance. If that is modernism, Miss Enters doesn't quarrel with the term. She has made the dance a mirror of human experiences. It sometimes is without movement beyond the poetic gesture of arms and body. "A new kind of stage art," the critics of the London Daily Chonicle call it.

from Miller on down, the tune tapped every hit parade in the country for a time; it started a controversy over whether Tschaikowsky really wrote it, or if the credit belonged to Teddy Powell or Claude Thornhill; it was the inspiration for the tune "Everybody's Making Money But Tschaikowsky."

The presentation was first called "The Theater of Angra Enters" by Louis Untermeyer, who believed that she is more than just a dancer, she is an actress, mime, and a penetrating satirist. Gilbert Seldes, author of "The Seven Lively Arts," said "Miss Enterts is, by herself, a school for all the actors and actresses, tragic and comic, of our stage and screen."

The curriculum was patterned upon the suggestions of high industrial authorities with whom Jakosky conferred.

Tau Sigma Gives Concert Soon ★★★ ★★★
"Symphony in Motion"
"A Symphony in Motion," the spring dancing concert to be presented by Tau Sigma, women's modern dancing organization, will be given April 28 in Fraser theater.
The performance will show a study in rhythm, beauty of movement, and an interpretation of feeling, emotions, and ideas. More than 50 members $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
of Tau Sigma, with the help of several University men, will take part in the production. Debussy is the favorite composer as was shown in the selection of accompanying music for the dances on the program.
The concert, which is being given by the organization for the University school and the public, free of admission, will include a wide selection in the modern dance technique to show a variety of style and moods. It will contain both the lights and the classical, which will be contrasted in such dances as the "Cake Walk," and "Gollipwogs," as compared with such numbers as "the Fall of the Sunken Cathedral," or "Profane Waltz."
"The program for the performance has been outlined to appeal to all tastes," said Miss Melba Schilling, director of the organization.
"Few people are acquainted with the modern dance," she explained, "and this performance is being given for the purpose of giving the public a better understanding of this new kind of舞."
She also explained that modern dancing, which is one of the several forms of dancing in free motion, concentrates not on the body, but on the inner thought of the dance. The modern dance does not

FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Ambitious is the word for Kansas' baseball team this year. By scheduling its first game with Ft Leavenworth's service club, it has bitten into the top of the baseball heap right off the bat . . . Manager of the soldier team is Sgt. Oddi Swigart. He is fresh from the Pittsburgh Pirates where he was just hitting his prime as a big time pitcher . . . Catcher at the Fort is Ralph Houk, a Lawrence product. He played on Lawrence's championship B. J. team in 1938 which was second in national playoffs. (Incidentally, he caught Knute Kresie, Jayhawk twirler, that season.) Houk played in the Yankee chain system at Binghampton, N. Y., last year, was slated to catch for the Kansas City Blues this season till the draft decided otherwise . . . Willie Seal, former American Legion player from Topeka, who hit the big circuit at Memphis in the Southern Association, holds down shortstop post for Ft. Leavenworth . . . Among the other ex-pros now doing their bit for national defense on the service team are Corp. Charles Knoblauch, former second sacker in the Arkansas - Missouri league, and Corp. Bill Kinney who used to man third base in the Canadian-American association . . . Mark one against the soldiers, though, for letting "Lefty" Leill, ace moundsman for Lawrence B. J. teams of 1937-38 who later played with Salina in the Western Association, slip through their hands. Leill was inducted into the army at Ft. Leavenworth but before the Fort's baseball machinery could salvage him, he had been re-shipped for duty elsewhere . . . Note of encouragement of the Jayhawkers in their diamond opener: the soldiers haven't even practiced together yet; they'll be battling Kansas on their reputation, not ability to work together. But the French army had a reputation for power and coordination before Hitler tore into it.
One of the football players of Henry Shenk, instructor in physical education, when he was coach at Junction City was Jack Wainwright, son of the commander of Filipino-American troops in recently fallen Bataan. General Wainwright was stationed at Ft. Riley; his son attended school at nearby Junction City, played on Shenk's football machines which were as good as any in the state . . . Wainwright's real name was Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright, the fifth," we called him "Jack" for short," Shenk admitted.

Blanks Top Tough Field In Fast I-M Track Meet
The Blank's powerful track squad coasted home first in an intramural meet which had talent galore and speed to spare Friday. The Phi Delt's nosed out the Phi Psi's, last year's champions for runner-up honors.
Two feature events of the meet were the century dash and pole vault. Gene Roberts blazed home in the hundred less than a hair's breadth ahead of Val Schlosser. The dash was clocked in 10.1 seconds—exceptionally fast for the slow, muddy track.
The sun had sunk behind the west wing of the stadium and the weather had turned cool before pole vault honors were decided. Charlie Black, Stan Hansen, and Schlosser negotiated 12 feet 1 inch to share top rating in that event.
In a home stretch duel Bob Dole nosed out Roger Whitworth in the 440-yard run to win in 53.9 seconds. Dole placed second behind Roberts in the 220-yard dash, and Whitworth returned to anchor the Blanks to victory in the medley.
The low hurdle title fell to Frank Stannard who was closely pushed to the tape by John Reynolds. Time for the 120-yard lows was 15 seconds flat.
Black completed a trio of firsts by taking the discus throw with a toss of 120 feet 1 inch. Second to Black was Max Kissell, Milo Farneti won the javelin over Art Wilson. Farnetti's throw was 165 feet 9 inches.

I-M Softball Makes Its Debut
Intramural softball season opened yesterday with victories by the Delt's, Sigma Nu's, Phi Delt's, Phi Psi's. Wild pitching, hard hitting and errors were rampant in these first games of the year.
The Delta Tau Delta team defeated the Delta Chi organization 9 to 4. Hoyt Baker pitched for the Delta Tau's and Wendell Wendstrand pitched for the Delta Chi's. The Delt's scored consistently throughout the game, getting one run in the first inning, one in the second, four in the third, one in the fourth, and two in the sixth.
Joe Roberts of the Delta Tau team batted a 1.000 with three hits in three times up. Hoyt Baker showed good form in his pitching for the Delta Tau club. Otto Schnellbacher and Lyle Young each got two hits in three times at bat for the Delta Chi team.
The Kappa Sigma fraternity came out on the short end of a six to one score in their game with the Sigma Nu's. Sigma Nu scored four runs in the first inning and the Kappa Sig's scored their only run in the fourth inning. Harold Dumler pitched for Kappa Sigma and Warren Israel was the Sigma Nu pitcher.

Baseball Premier Set for Thursday
It took a long distance phone call to do it, but baseball coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen finally pegged a definite opening date for his Jayhawker nine. Kansas will make its season's debut against Ft. Leavenworth's service team next Thursday afternoon, at 3:30 on the local diamond.
After having their night or lified by rain and cold weather contest with Ft. Leavenworth changed, the Kansas batsmen get under way this week, against a team composed primarily of veteran professionals.

BY ALAN B. HOUGHTON, Kansan Sports Editor
Coach Allen looks for a vastly improved fielding club over last year's Kansas team to take the field against the soldiers. Two months of practice show that the 1942 edition of Jayhawk baseball will be an accent on power at the plate. Kansas Prospects Bright
Here is the evidence of Kansas' chances for a potent baseball crew this year: Forrest "Knute" Kresie, veteran hurler and mainstay of last year's squad, will be mound chief for the Jayhawks.
Culminating his Ban Johnson career, Kresie tossed Iola to the Southeast Kansas title last summer. He won ten games, dropped one to compile a .68 earned run-per-game average. His .357 hitting clip for the season was fourth best in the league.
Kresie played on the 1938 Lawrence Ban Johnson team which won the Eastern Division title and was runner up for National B. J. honors. He played on a championship Topeka B. J. team in 1939 and pitched for a Topeka team in 1940 which placed fourth in the state semi-protournament at Wichita.
Number two pitcher for Kansas will be Bill Atwell. He delivers from the port side, has the size and speed necessary for a good hurler. Atwell's control is improved over last year but still needs more polish to be effective.
Dan Brune, who has pitched semi-pro ball in Lawrence, will see action on the Jayhawk hurling staff this year. Gene Alford, a right handed thrower and left handed batter, caught Brune in the Lawrence league. He is a good hitter and can play the outfield.
T. F. "Wigwam" Hunter, a letter-
Al Hecht will play the outfield for Kansas in its first game. He will take mound duties later when he has conditioned his arm. Hecht has plenty of speed and a good curve for his pitching but lacks control.
Warren Hodges assumes duties behind the plate for Kansas. He has played semi-pro ball in Lawrence, and if Bill Essech, Yankee scout, had his way, Hodges would be playing pro ball now. He has the size and powerful throwing arm needed for big time baseball.
Ray Evans, football and basketball star, will round out this year's athletic activities by holding down the initial sack for coach Allen. Evans has caught in the semi-pro tournament at Wichita and played first base and catcher in Kansas City's B. J. league.
Showing great improvement over last season, letterman Del Green will pitch his tent on second base. He is a good fielder but needs to improve his batting. Green played ball last summer with the Atwood town team.

No Word FromZilch
SPECIAL FROM THE KANSANS' CORRESPONDENT IN TANKARA, BORNEO. The returning searching party looking for the remains of the internationally known journalist, Elmer A. Zilch reported late last night that it is on the trail of the missing rocket ship. The leader of the party has found an infallible manner to trace Zilch.
According to Harou Nassou, a poy plantation owner near here, Zilch's ship went down because of a miss in the giant motors. The only thing, according to the primitive Tankaran, that could cause this miss is the lack of alcohol in the alcohol-nitrate fuel tank. Since Zilch was the only one in the ship, it is not hard to ascertain what happened to the alcohol.
A member of the Keeley's institute has joined the searching party "just in case."
100
Tankara authorities say that they have no fears that the Japanese have harmed or even molested Zilch, for, as they say, "What would they want of him?"
The Tankara police, locally spoken of as the "Tanks," expressed the opinion that they would soon find the ship and it's owner, and speed him on his way to the University campus to attend the Zilch Award Dinner.

Six Involved In Auto Wreck
Six University students were involved in an accident when two cars collided at 11 o'clock Friday night at Eleventh and Indiana streets. The injured were Margery Bueker, college freshman, and Don Stout, freshman engineer. Miss Bueker suffered bruises on the face. Both were dismissed from Watkins hospital yesterday morning.
Professor Weinberg's lecture was sponsored by the department of Romance languages. He is an authority on Balzac, having achieved wide American recognition for his research on the writer.
Miss Bueker and Stout were riding with Charles Wolfson, sophomore in medicine, and Paul Hardman, sophomore engineer. Louis Lafferty, junior engineer, and Mary Christianson, college sophomore, were in the other auto. Neither was injured. Damages to both cars were estimated as rather high.

The Phi Delta Theta scored fourteen runs off the arm of George Robb in their game with the Alpha Tau Omega ten. The game was a one sided affair with Ray Evans holding the ATO team to three tallies.
Pitchers, Don Welty for the Beta Theta Pi and Milt Allen for the Phi Kappa Psi had an even duel in a game which the Phi Psi's won 11 to 8. The Beta team was ahead 6 to 4 at the end of the third inning but the Phi Psi's came back in the fifth inning to score six times, and in the sixth inning they scored one while the Beta men were collecting two tallies in the same two innings.
Highest scoring of the morning was done when the Phi Gamma Delta lost to the Sigma Chi's, 20 to 19. Sigma Chi hitters had no trouble hitting Chain Healy and the Phi Gam team did not seem to encounter difficulty in slamming the balls hurled by John Naff. It was anybody's ball game with the Sigma Chi team coming out with the telling score.

Martin Shifted to Left Field
Dean "Pepper" Martin, who played center field last year to letter, will probably be shifted to right field this season. He is a left handed hitter and has played semi-pro ball at Princeton, Kan. Bob Innis, who plays the outfield, has powerfully built wrists which enhance his batting but is unsteady in fielding.
Larry Johnston, who appears to have a steady job in the outfield, received his baseball background in Ban Johnson baseball, playing one season on each the Ft. Scott, Chanute, and Coffeyville B. J. squads. Johnston is a dependable fielder but is weak at bat.
Otto Teichgraeber can cover the ground like a blanket around second, but has a weak throwing arm. He shows potentialities as a batter. Ted Hill, who performs in the outfield or at third, has a strong peg, needs to improve his hitting.
There's the evidence; Thursday the Jayhawker nine will be afforded its first opportunity to prove it.

The KANSAN Comments... Post War Hemisphere Solidarity
W. W. Davis Professor of History
The future of nations cannot be predicted with any sense of certainty—and yet that future is as inescapable as time itself.
Therefore, plans relative to the post-war world are little more than the formulation of principles concerning what is quite unknown but what we know cannot be avoided.
Under the pressure of war and the impulse of the Good Neighbor policy, much has been accomplished in greater economic and even political cooperation. Much more will be accomplished when the Latin American republics evolve Good Neighbor policies of their own to include us.
Out of the present war there has come for the United States an increasing determination to achieve a stronger solidarity of the western republics. Twenty of twenty-one of these are included in Latin America.
When the war ends, what will become of this newer Western world?
For us in both North and South America, survival as nations depends now on success in battle. We expect to win.
What will become of western solidarity if and when the united nations win?
In the first place, it might be well to rule out as visionary any plans of successful global political and economic solidarity. The war will probably end with nationalism intact, with economic necessity pressing, and with cultural prejudices surviving.
I think it not unreasonable to say that we will wish it very much. If we do not—it will end.
Let us simply the question. Will the United States wish to maintain western solidarity?
What are some of the facts that we must face in efforts to keep strong, for a reasonable time, the international ties that bind?
It might be well to reply to such a question categorically—even at the expense of being opinionated.
1. We must know our neighbors to the south of us. Wishful thinking and blind belief in our ability as cultural, political, and economic missionaries won't do. Next to knowing thyself, wisdom begins with knowing thy neighbor. Our Southern neighbors differ from us in blood, in color, in language, in institutions, and in cultural concepts, including religion. Our prejudices are not theirs.
2. Latin America is composed of nations jealous of their nationality and none of them is likely to consent to become puppet or satellite economic or political. The United States, because of its greater power and wealth, can assume leadership in time of critical war—but peace is another matter.
3. Latin American republics, almost all of them, are politically very disorderly. In the working of their form of democracy they combine voting with military rebellion and revolution. This sort of thing has gone on for more than a century and will probably go on for many decades to come. We must understand it and learn to deal with it without becoming involved. This will not be easy.
4. In most Latin American republics today there are one or more influential and extremely radical groups or parties—including Communists, Syndicalists, National Socialists, and other totalitarian types. They show small regard for any good will or for what we consider our interests and our rights. Maybe with the war's end these imported theories will disappear—but such an eventuality is not likely
We are fighting for the survival here of the American way of life. The American way will have to find means of successful intercourse with ways as alien as Central Europe or Eastern Asia today. This, too, will not be easy.
5. While Latin America is still essentially agrarian, it is seeking to industrialize and to extend its transportation systems. It has little capital and quite limited technical industrial skill. Its political and financial record has been so bad that for an indefinite time the borrowing of private capital is out. Also, there is a decreasing amount of any sort of capital that can go there because the present war is rapidly burning it up. The loans of foreign governments will have political strings attached

Student Paper of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Lawrence, Kansas
DEAN SIMS
Rock Chalk Talk
K. W. Davidson, chief of the information bureau and journalism instructor, needed a new pair of trousers and, desiring them with cuffs, he ordered them from a downtown clothing store a day or so before the new cuff-less law went into effect.
A day after the law took effect, the trousers were delivered to the Davidson home. K. W. rushed to examine his new pants—oh, ob, no cuffs! Feeling sort of disappointed, but still patriotic enough to sacrifice his pant cuffs without throwing a tantrum, K. W. decided to try on the trousers for size.
He paced before the mirror, viewing himself in many poses, deciding finally that he wouldn't look so bad without the cuffs on his pants.
Then he happened to slip his hand in one of the hip pockets. His fingers contacted some pieces of cloth. He pulled out his detached set of trouser-cuffs.
This was too much.
"My Gawd," cried K. W., "For my government to do a thing like this to me—cut off the bottoms of my britches and stick them in my pocket."
Harvey Haines, Phi Delt freshman, honored Pi Phi freshman Jo Ann Teed by asking her on his pledge class' coming steak-fry.
"Why, Harvey," Jo Ann cooed over the telephone, "I'd love to go with you. I know it'll be swell, all that wonderful food you'll have. I love steaks."
"Yeah—yeah, sure we'll have a little food," came the voice of Harvey, "I'd forgotten about that, though."
Jo Ann comments that she guesses she'll still keep the date—however ominous the outlook.
And again the Chi Omega pledges have car-trouble. (It's getting to the place where a Chi O freshman looks more at home pushing a car than riding in its interior.)
The most recent car-pushing came when the freshmen walked out Thursday night—took in a show and started home. They had borrowed before-hand the limousine, "Quantrill," from its owner, Bill McIntire, engineering junior. It worked fine going to the theater but coming home in it was a different matter—they pushed it.
Friday night the pledge class held a hay-ride. Prayers were said, rabbit's feet were bought, horse-shoes were tessed over shoulders, and four-leaf clovers were sought out—just so the party wouldn't end up with the freshmen pushing the wagon load of masculines home.
Of interest to radio fans in general should be the results of a study of the daytime radio serials made recently by a Manhattan physician in an attempt to determine the effect of the serials upon the listeners. This doctor took only a casual interest in these programs until some of his women patients suffered relapses after listening to them.
To make his study, the good doctor took samplings of serials
Frail Readers Beware--- Soap Operas Dangerous Says New York Doctor
To make his study, the good presented on the air, narrowed down the field to ten and then concentrated on two. The emotional content of these soap operas, as they are called, consisted, he discovered, of sexual jealousy, fear, rage, revulsion, frustration, and insecurity. The situations included domestic discord, separation, divorce, sickroom scenes, and courtroom scenes.
In order that our readers may observe and study for themselves at close range the emotional turmoil which abounds in the soap opera, a program which is regarded as typical of the field is studied below.
America's Typical Family
After days of exhaustive research during which dozens of leading soap operas were carefully examined and classified, one has finally been selected as typical, "The Clawhammers," the story of average American household and their normal, carefree day-to-day existence.
Also carefully considered in this study but finally rejected on the grounds that they failed to faithfully portray contemporary American life were "Mr. Third Assistant District Attorney," "Clementine Faces Life," and "Dr. Kildare in the Blackout or
Where the H--l are you, Dr. Kild-
dare?"
Now for the study of the soap operas and Amarica's typical family, the Clawhammers: The day's happenings in the Clawhammer household may be summarized after the program as follows by the announcer: "And today as we take leave of the Clawhammers, radio's most lovable family and America's typical family, a great fire is raging in the kitchen where Mr. Clawhammer's hotfoot got out of hand, Axis agents are breaking down the front door in their search for the vital military secrets that the Clawhammer's possess, Mr. Moto is coming down the chimney and the Gestape is planting a time bomb in the cellar. Jim Clawhammer has just gone to town to file suit for divorce and Grandpappy Clawhammer has just taken carbolic acid instead of castor oil.
Will She Make It?
"Meanwhile, Granny Clawhammer has gone to town for help on her roller skates and is now racing the express train to the crossing. However three more axis agents are pursuing her in a Messerschmitt. Will she make it? Will she beat the train to the crossing? What will happen

Types of students who should enroll for such a course, the history of occupational therapy, and a general explanation of work involved in that field, will be included by Miss Whitney in her discussion.
The field was first developed during World War I for the benefit of soldiers wounded in action. Duties of occupational therapists consisted of supplying patients with entertainment in the form of handicrafts.
Small wonder the train listeners suffered a relapse and small wonder if our frail readers also suffer a relapse. The women may have their soap operas. As for us, we'll stick to Jack Armstrong.

Students in the School of Education may obtain their mid-semester standings by seeing Prof. A.H. Turney, adviser, or at the Education office in 103 Fraser hall, Miss Mateel Rich, secretary to the Dean, announced yesterday.
Predicts End Of K.U. Oratory
Lyman Field, representing the University in 1934, won the Missouri Valley contest while in 1937 Martin Maloney won first place.
Hill interest in oratory reached its peak six years ago when for the third consecutive year the University won the Missouri Valley contest. During that time other contests were held on the campus.
Because of insufficient Hill interest in oratory and a noticeable lack of good orators, this year's University team composed of John Waggoner and Merrill Peterson, college juniors, may be the last to be entered in the annual Missouri Valley oratorical contest. E.C. Buchler, professor of speech, revealed today.
Army Man To Speak At Business Forum
There are no "rookie" dollars. Send yours to the front! Buy U.S. Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps!
Captain J. M. Shanks, Kansas City Quartermaster Depot, will discuss the work of his branch of the army at a School of Business forum Wednesday evening. The program will be held in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Although Shanks' talk will be of particular interest to students enrolled in Business and Management, other students who are interested in the business of running an army are invited to attend.
Before his appointment to the Quartermaster corps, Shanks was a practicing C.P.A. at Garden City.
A Patriotic Song is born
Pasadena, Cal. — (UP) — Ernest Smith, at a local sanitarium, wrote a poem entitled "My Fair America" and sent it to a local paper. Mrs. Pearl E. Lutes liked it and set it to music. The Cine-Mart Music Publishing company heard it sung and published it. And thus a new patriotic number came into being.

The Screen's First Full Length Feature Musical Comedy Cartoon in Technicolor "Mr. Bug Goes to Town."
Today we are the chief source of Latin American borrowing from abroad-practically all loans come from the United States government. How long can this be kept up, unless we and Latin America drastically change our tariff systems and we open our great United States market to the competing products of Latin America?
These are elementary questions in applied economics. The answers—if honest—must include political reaction here as well as the desperate necessities both in Latin America and
How long can we aid in the development of an industrial system in competition with our own system?
in a half-starved Europe forced to make great concessions for bread and meat from Latin America.
(Continued from page 6)
Such opinions about the post-war Western world are pessimistic. They stress the known obstacles and not the little-known but likely elements of economic growth and social adaptability. The genus homo sapiens is certainly one of the strangest of God's creatures. If he can adapt himself to a changed and changing economic and social world at peace.
AIR
Maybe, in the minds and hearts of millions of Americans, North and South, will come a new resolve with peace—as strong as that which sustained them in war—to find a way, somehow, toward a better and friendlier and economically sounder life among the nations of the New World.

Inter-Frat Sing Date Set For April 26
The annual inter-fraternity singing contest will be held April 26, in Hoch auditorium, Herbert Mueller, chairman of the committee, announced yesterday.
Eight entries have already been received, and more are expected, Mueller said. According to Mueller, this year's sing will be the largest and the most successful held for several years.
The contest rules require that each fraternity sing three songs; one fraternity song, the alma mater, and one of their own choice. First place award is a plaque, which must be won three years consecutively by one group before ownership becomes permanent. Second place wins a large silver trophy, and third place a smaller gold trophy.
Judges will be named at the contest. Order of appearance will be determined by drawing numbers immediately before the program starts.
The fraternities already entered, and their song leaders are: Alpha Tau Omega, Dick Trubey, pharmacy senior; Delta Tau Delta, Bill McIntire, junior engineer; Delta Upsilon, Warren Williams, business junior; Phi Delta Theta, Bob Woodbury, college sophomore; Phi Gamma Delta, Robert Knox, college sophomore; Phi Kappa Psi, Haworth White, college freshman; Sigma Chi, Charles Bradley, business senior; Sigma Nu, Hillis Kennard, college freshman.
Last years winners were: Sigmat Chi, first place; Phi Delta Theta, second; and Phi Gamma Delta, third.
Latimer Honored At Annual Meeting
Dr. H. B. Latimer, professor in the department of anatomy, was recently honored at the annual meeting of the American Association of Anatomists when his paper, "The Weight of the Heart and the Lungs in the Footal, the Newborn, and the Adult Cat," was read. Although Latimer was unable to be present at the meeting, his paper was given a title reading before members of the association.

Six States To Speech Conclave
The Southwest Regional Speech Contest will be held tomorrow and Tuesday at the University of Kansas City. Contestants from six states, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and North and South Texas, will compete, and the contest will be in the nature of an inter-American festival. Merrill Peterson, college junior, and John Adams, Bethany College, have been chosen to represent Kansas.
A roundtable discussion will be held for all contestants Monday afternoon. Monday night the contestants will participate in the ex-temporarous contest and will know the title of their speech only an hour or two before speaking. Of the twelve contestants, six will be chosen for the Tuesday finals.
The winner of the Tuesday finals will go to Washington D.C., to participate in a national broadcast in May. He will also receive a trip to South America with all expenses paid.
UNIVERSITY PLAYS HOST-
In connection with the contests, special lectures, movies, and entertainment will be provided for the contestants. These entertainments will be sponsored by the University of Kansas City and by civic organizations there.
(continued from vage one) travel placed upon railway lines will not permit this plan to be carried out.
Despite tire shortages and transportation inefficiency, several of the schools have already accepted invitations. They are Leonardville, Goff, Corning, Lebo, Melvern, and Williamsburg. Several more schools are expected to attend, stated Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division, but it is not possible to give the exact number of schools that will be here.
A full day program has been
planned in cooperation with the faculty of many departments. The only expense to visiting students will be that of meals, which will be arranged on a low-cost basis.
The morning program will consists of tours of the campus museums and to other points of interest. The visitors will be shown the way students at the University carry on activities in work and in amusement. The department of drawing and design will have an exhibit for touring students to visit.
At noon a cafeteria-style lunch will be served in the Memorial Union building.
In the afternoon visitors will attend the interscholastic track meet in Memorial stadium. For those who do not wish to attend the track meet, a tea will be held at the home economics practice house, a program in Fraser theater, and a musical concert by University student organizations in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
At six o'clock in the evening a picnic dinner will be held in Marvin grove. Last year such a picnic was planned, but rain forced the picnic to be held in Robinson gymnastium. The same alternative will be used this year in case of rain.
To end the program for the day, a special dance will be held in the Memorial Union building from 7 to 9.
TWO-YEAR COURSE
(continued from page one) draftsmen, shift bosses, technicians, and machinists.
The work required in the program is of the same caliber as that required of regular engineering students in the respective departments. It is an abridged course where particular attention and emphasis are given to the "shop and machinist" type of courses, Ambrosius pointed out. Most of the training in this basic program will be given in Fowler shops.
Entrance requirements for the two-year program are the same as for the regular four and five-year programs. Students in the two-year program are required to pay the same
tuition, fees, and other charges incidental to the regular engineering program.
Certificate in Two Years
Although considerable feedback is allowed regarding studies pursued, it is intended that the curriculum follow rather closely the common freshman year outlined for the regular engineering students. This program allows students who choose, to receive a certificate at the end of the second year, while others may obtain an engineering degree by continuing with the four-year program in any of the other departments in the School of Engineering.
Students who wish to continue with their work in one of the fouryear engineering courses must satisfy the same requirements as regular students before they will be eligible for a degree.
In commenting on the proposed program, Jakosky said:
"No other school in the middle west is offering this type of program at the present time. Modern industry for its successful operation requires three classes of workers: skilled mechanics, technicians, and engineers. Mechanics are produced largely through trade schools and are obtained in the type of curriculum we are inaugurating here—a streamlined engineering course to give the student the maximum amount of applied engineering in a two-year period."
"BLUES" IN HOCH—

This year, the chair has had as accompanist Merrill Jones, fine arts junior. Soloists in the "Blues" will be June Hammett, fine arts junior; Miriam Bartlett, college senior; and John Cole, engineering sophomore. Other members of the group are Patricia Piller, fine arts freshman; Chestine Wilson, fine arts senior; Nancy Jane Petersen, college soph.; Bette Leimert, college sophomore; Betty Jeanne Hess, college junior; Margaret Butler, college sophomore;
Grier Stewart, college senior; Bill Nichols, engineering freshman; Haworth White, college freshman; Preston Brecheisen, college sophomore; Kenneth Dunn, business senior; Clayton Kyle, freshman engineer; David Evans, business junior; Bob White, college junior; Eugene Jones, college junior; and Eldridge King, fine arts sophomore.

(continued from page one) presents Miss Enterts as a sullen young Spanish girl who thinks of murder even while she is following the steps of a conventional dance.
Miss Enters' dancing has been placed on a level with some of the greatest artists of all time. Time magazine said that her dancing and use of castanets in the dance-pantomime "Boy Cardinal" is something Bill "Bojangles" Robinson might have envied. The Brooklyn Eagle has declared her "the only American dancer whose work may be considered artistically significant."
This distinctly new entertainment, compositions in dance form, is the final number on the Community lecture course for the current year and comes as a substitute for a canceled number previously scheduled in February.

Malott Urges Engineers To Finish School
Chancellor Deane W. Malott promised engineering and architecture students today that, with their cooperation, it would be possible for them to graduate a semester sooner than ordinarily prescribed.
Urging engineering, pharmacy and medical students to stay in school as long as possible, the Chancellor spoke to students in the School of Engineering and Architecture at a convocation in Hoch auditorium at 10:30 this morning.
In his address Malott reiterated the statement of President Roosevelt which encourages students in technical work to complete their undergraduate work if possible and obtain their degrees.
To do this without having to enter the army before degrees are obtained will almost necessitate going to summer school. The Chancellor said he realized that many students are dependent upon money earned in the summer. He mentioned that the University has various types of loans which are available to students who wish the use of them.
The Chancellor also pointed out (continued to page eight)

Enters Skillful
★★★
In Pantomime
By DEAN SIMS
Angna Eniers subtly and skillfully presented her theater of pantomimes last night in Hoch auditorium before a crowd of approximately 1000 students, faculty members, and townspeople.
Without uttering a word, Miss Enters enacted eleven scenes, changing her costumes and her mode of acting with each, but the only sounds that reached the ears of the audience was the music of her piano accompaniment.
Her choice of subject material for the several different pantomime-scenes ranged from the Spanish Sixteenth century to the contemporary American. Her costumes were all patterned from styles of past eras, even her most modern costume, an evening gown, was characteristic of the "twenties" in this country. Miss Enterts presumably created her costumes in this manner in an effort to add to the effect of her stage presentations.
(continued to page eight)
Some Scenes Baffle
A few of the scenes presented seemed a bit vague and baffling to a majority of the audience, which was probably caused largely by the unusualness of such a presentation and the infrequency with which the average person sees this sort of production. However, at no time did the audience lose interest or cease to be fascinated by the artist who lightly tripped over the stage in a pair of ballet slippers, or who stomped across in a pair of sturdy shoes befitting a tom-boyish high school girl.
The eleven pantomime-skits presented in the theater of Miss Enters were: "The American Ballet," "A Pique-nique," "Little Sally Water," "Aphrodiasie" (a French cottote of the Paris early 20th century).
MSC Abandons Plan For Dandelion Day
The Men's Student Council voted last night to abandon its plans for the promotion of a 1942 Dandelion Day.
The vote was unanimous after Laird Campbell, college freshman and chairman of the committee in charge of the investigation, reported that the administration was favorable to the proposition only if it were conducted on a Saturday or some
K.U. Symphony Spring Downbeat In Hoch Tonight
The University symphony orchestra will open its annual spring concert at 8 o'clock tonight in Hoch auditorium with W. Otto Messner's "American Festival Overture," a composition which has gained recognition in the world of music.
Written in the spring of 1910, when Miessner, now professor of education and public school music, was studying in Berlin, the "Overture" was played on the Hill for the first time last summer. It presents a musical picture of the American scene, reflecting the feeling which Miessner, like many other Americans abroad, had for his homeland. With a prelude setting at dawn, the introduction centers around the "Spirit of industry." The theme of the overture proper is about "An American Festival," and the coda or summing up, is built around the "Star Spangled Banner."
To Play Tough Number
Following the overture, the orchestra, directed by Karl Kuersteiner, professor of violin and orchestra, will present "Death and Transfiguration," by Richard Strauss. This is the most difficult piece the orchestra has ever undertaken, Kuersteiner believes, and

Air Force Program Includes Deferment For College Students
Advice that a new revised army air force cadet program, which will enable students to continue their college courses, was received today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott in a telegram from H. H. Arnold, commanding general of the United States army air forces.
The wire read:
"I am writing you today regarding a new revised army air force cadet program which will be announced in the press soon. This program includes a plan for enlistment on a deferred service basis giving the student the privilege of continuing his college course. Enclosed in my letter will be two forms which we would like to have filled out and returned immediately. May we ask for your cooperation. Our need is imperative."
afternoon. The Council felt that student sentiment would not comply with such a plan.
The meeting, held in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, marked the first full meeting of the new Council installed Monday.
There was no discussion on the mater. Immediately after Campbell's report, Maurice Baringer, business senior, moved that the MSC drop the question entirely. The motion carried without a disheating vote.
Several weeks ago, Chancellor Deane Malott had put the initiative into the Council's hands by stating that it was up to that group to take some action on the promotion of a 1942 Dandelion Day. The Chancellor indicated at the time that the administration would be willing to consider its promotion on the campus.
The administration's recent view-

Honors Convocation On Friday Schedule
The nineteenth annual honors convocation, scheduled for 10 o'clock Friday morning, will follow the traditional pattern of presenting the Honor Award for 1941-42 and the leading students in scholarship from each class.
The convocation will open with the 'Star Spangled Banner' led by a member of the School of Fine Arts.
In past honor convocations new members of Mortar Board, Sachem, and Owl Society have been announced. That precedent will probably be followed this year.
The honor man of the year, selected by an anonymous committee, will be presented, followed by a reading of the names of those in the upper 10 per cent of the senior class, and leading students in the other classes. Approximately 175 names will be printed on the program to be recognized for their scholastic achievements.
President F. D. Farrell of Kansas State College at Manhattan, will give the address "A Motto for Scholars." "Crimson and the Blue" will close the program.
Chambers Plays for Midweek
Russ Chambers orchestra will play for the midweek dance tomorrow night in Memorial Union building from 7 to 8, Nation Meyer, president of the Student Union Activities board said this afternoon.

Safe From Wilds of Tibet Zilch Hits Egypt
BY C. GEBHARDT PEARSON,
The Kansan's Special Cairo Correspondent in Exile
Cairo, Egypt, April 11.—Delayed)—Special to the Kansan. All Cairo was agog tonight with the news that Elmer A. Zilch, patron saint of journalism, discoverer of type lice, and wealthy inventor of the Zilch Zippy Linotype, has escaped from the wilderness of the impenetrable Borneo jungles and is safe here.
Zilch who was lost early last week as he attempted a nonstop flight from his Tibetan monastery to Lawrence, where he
Zilch who was lost early last stop flight from his Tibetan mo will be guest of honor at the yearly award dinner bearing his name, had no statement for the press tonight. He is resting from his strenuous ordeal in the Hotel Arouk el Babadar in Cairo. He has commandered the exclusive Zoubie room, and remains in seclusion with two cases of imported Scotch and a Dobermann Pinscher, which he refuses to let out of his sight.
The exact date of his arrival in the capital city of Egypt is uncertain, and he has refused to disclose the date of his departure for the United States. Mortimer O'Hafferty, an American bartender, steadfast friend and constant companion of Zilch, reports that he is in a state bordering upon coma, and refuses to quit a strategic position under a table, where he is firmly entrenched.
It is rumored in official circles that Zilch has made a deal with heirs to the late Tutankhamen, former ruler of Egypt, to purchase his tomb and ship it, stone by stone, to Lawrence, where the generous
philanthropist will donate the pyramid-shaped structure for use as a new journalism building. This theory, however, remains undocumented at this time.
British officials in Cairo have sought audience with the famed exponent of personal journalism, but have been refused to date. The great man is visibly shaken by his experiences, and insists upon conserving his strength for the big night in Lawrence, April 21.

FROM THE
SIDELINES
by
Alan B. Houghton
Only twice in the last eleven Kansas Relays, has the world's greatest miler missed the starter's gun Glenn Cunningham watched the Relays from the sidelines in 1931; he was a freshman at Kansas, couldn't enter varsity competition. He missed the Relays altogether last year, he had retired once and for all and was pursuing a teaching profession at Cornell College of Mt. Vernon, Iowa . . . Glenn's first appearance at the relays in 1930 brought a new record—4:31.4—in the Relies interscholastic mile run. (This record has since been eclipsed by Randolph Wolek of Goessel who now runs for Emporia State). Cunningham brought the state high school mile record to Elkhart that year with a 4:28.3 mark; this record still stands. He climaxed his high school career by winning the national interscholastic mile run at Stagg field in Chicago—his time: 4:24.7 . . . The "Elkhart Express" was back in the Relays in 1932, winning the 1500 meter run in 4:02.5. In 1933 he defeated Glen Dawson in the Relays special 1500 distance in 3:53.3 . . . 1934 found Cunningham leading Gene Venzke, Pennsylvania picture runner, to the tape by 15 yards in the Relays mile. Glenn was clocked at 4:12.7. Next year Glen Dawson defeated the "Barrel-chested Kansan" in the Relays mile in the time of 4:17.1. Glenn blazed home in front of Glen Funk, Nebraska miler and Mel Trutt, Indiana freshman, to win the 1500 meter even of the Relays in the time of 3:57.1 in 1936 . . . In a race in which Cunningham was spiked, Archie San Romani of the Emporia State Teachers bested Glenn in the time of 4:14.1. San Romani led Cunningham to the tape in the 1938 Relays mile in the slow time of 4:23. Don Lash, Indiana distance star, was third . . . Cunningham and Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin dragged through four laps in the 1939 relays with Glenn winning in 4:29.2."Gliding Glenn" could do no better than fourth in his final cinder path appearance at the Relays. Blaine Rideout came home ahead of his twin brother, Wayne,

Kansas Relays Star Performers
(1) Husky Elmer Aussiker, Missouri weight man, will be on hand to try his luck in the shot put. Last year he placed fourth in this event at the Relays; he is Big Six indoor champion with a distance of 49 feet. (2) Jack DeField, Minnesota pole vaulter will match leaps with (3) Harel Hunt of Nebraska. DeField is co-champion of the Big Ten and Hunt is undisputed ruler of Big Six pole vaulting. DeField tied for first in the vault at the relays last year, and at the Texas Relays this season Hunt won first to establish a new record at 14 feet 5-8 inches with DeField taking second honors. The Relays vault record of 14 feet 2 inches by Beefus Bryan of Texas is likely to fall to one of these skyward-bound boys. (4) Oklahoma's medley relay team (1 to r., Dick Smetthers, Bill Lyda, Hoyt Burns, John Sharpe) has won the medley in the Texas Relays and Colorado Relays this year. Smethers is the Big Six two mile champion while Lyda wears the Big Six quarter-mile and half-mile crown. (5) Durable as chilled steel is Oklahoma's Bill Lyda, outstanding middle distance runner of the Big Six this year. He can run anything from the hundred in 9.9 to the half in 1:56 and will be the Sooner's principal hope for wins in the sprint and distance medleys and the mile relay.

Forrest "Knute" Kresie will toe the pitchers rubber, the umpire will blare "play ball," and the 1942 edition of Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawk baseball team will get under way against Ft. Leavenworth's service cub at 3:30 Thursday afternoon.
On Allen's starting nine are five lettermen—Del Green, John Krum, Dean Martin, Larry Johnston, and Kresie. Warren Hodges, catcher, and Marshall Hulett, shortstop, have come op from last year's fresh sqad for starting berths. Although a senior, this is Bob Innis' first $ ^{4}$
Ray Evans, sophomore football and basketball flash hasn't as yet reported for baseball; he is playing intramural softball. Coach Allen stated this morning that he hadn't learned yet whether Evans would check out in time to start Thursday's game.
Martin has been slated for lead-off on man in Kansas' batting lineup, which Allen will be stronger than last year's. Green will bat second, Krum third, with Kresie, holding the clean-up position.
Allen plans to have Evans bat titin, followed by Hodges, Johnston, Innis, and Hullet in that order. Bill Atwell, big southpaw pitcher will be held for relief hurling duties. Al Hecht may also see service on the mound.
Other Jayhawker baseballers who have looked good in practice and will probably enter the game are Bill Alford, Irven Hayden, Otto, Teichgraeber, Gene Alford, Dan Brune, and Ted Hill. T. P. Hunter, who has a bad ankle will probably be benched by the injury.
While the Kansas squad has been practicing—whenever weather permitted—for the past two months, Leavenworth's soldiers had their first work-out together yesterday. Because of lack of practice, soldier teamwork will probably be poor, but they can show a strong argument on individual talent.
Oadis Swigart, manager and pitcher for the Fort, hurled two years ago for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Ralph Houk, ex-Lawrence B.J. catcher, was New York Yankee property'. He played with Binghamton, N.Y., last year and was destined for the Kansas City Blues this season.
Charles Knoblach, soldier second sacker, entered the army from the Carthage, Mo., Western Association club. Willie Seal, Shortstop at the Fort, played pro ball with Memphis, Ala., in the Southern Association. Marty Krpan, outfieldler, played in the Canadian-American League before entering the army.
After watching his team practice, Sowby said, "We're going to have an exceptionally good club this year; the infield appears to be tight, and all indications are that we will have plenty of hitting power."
Everett Pitts, senior engineer, confined to Watkins Memorial hospital after an accident in Kansas City, is improving.
Denzel Gibbens, business senior had his tonsils removed Friday.
Errors Plague I-M Softball
BY PAUL MOSER
The intramural softball games played yesterday resulted in victories for the Delt's, Sig Alph's, Phi Gam's, Carruth Hall, Pflugerville Pflashes, and the I.R.G.'s. The games were marked throughout with wild pitching and numerous errors. However, a few of the teams began to show mid-season form.
In a hard fought game the Delt's managed to out-hit and out-score the Sigma Chi's 11 to 5. Hoyt Baker limited the Sigma Chi's to eight hits while his mates were collecting thirteen of the deliveries of John Naff and Bill Forsythe. Bob Benkleman and Joe Roberts led the Delt's at bat with two hits in four trips to the plate. Paul Trower and Gene Roberts got two for three to lead their mates at the bat for the losers.
In the feature game of the afternoon Chain Healy of the Phi Gam's, and Lyle Young of the Delta Chi's hooked up in a pitchers battle. The Phi Gam's, taking advantage of their opportunities, managed to defeat the Delta Chi's, 8 to 6. Young gave up 11 hits and the Delta Chi's solved Healy for 10 blows. Earl "Swede" Olson and Chain Healy led the Fiji's with two hits in three trips to the plate, while Leo Doobin led the Delta Chi's with three for three.
Showing their power at the bat, the Pflugerville Pflashes defeated the Sigma Nu's 11 to 0. With Charles Liebermann limiting his opponents to four hits the Pflashes were never in trouble. Warren Israel allowed the hard hitting Pflashes 14 blows and many walks. Don Ettinger led the Pflashes with two hits, one a triple and the other a home run. Charles Avey showed up well for the Sigma Nu's getting two hits in three trips to the plate.
In a loosely played game filled with walks and errors the Sig Alph's thumped the Sig Ep's, 22 to 12. Bill Walton went the route for the Sig Alph's and did not permit a run

1938. Wearing the Crimson and Blue of his alma mater, Glenn Cunningham rocketed to a 4:04.4 indoor mile on the Dartmouth track. This still remains two seconds faster than any other human has even been timed in the mile. Because it was run indoors and the other runners were given handicaps, it cannot be recognized as official . . . Glenn still believes that if the door at one end of the field house had been closed that night to keep out the chill
breezes which bothered his flame scarred legs, he could have done even better. After the race Glenn apologized, "I wouldn't say this was the hardest race I ever ran; I've run faster last quarters than I did tonight." . . This year Cunningham returns to the Kansas Relays, this time starred in a new role. He is to be official judge. With him he will bring a distance relay team from Cornell College which is capable of taking up where he left off,
NAVY ANNOUNCEMENT TO COLLEGE FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES 17THRU19
You want to serve your country! Why not serve where your college training will do the most good?
Who may qualify
Under the Navy's newest plan, you can enlist now and continue in college. If you make a good record, you may qualify within two years to become a Naval Officer—on the sea or in the air.
80,000 men per year will be accepted under this new plan. If you are between the ages of 17 and 19 inclusive and can meet Navy physical standards, you can enlist now as an Apprentice Seaman in the Naval Reserve. You will be in the Navy. But until you have finished two calendar years, you will remain in college, taking regular college courses under your own professors. Your studies will emphasize mathematics, physics and physical training.
After you have successfully completed $1\frac{1}{2}$ calendar years of work, you will be given a written examination prepared by the Navy. This examination is competitive. It is designed to select the best men for training as Naval Officers.
How to become an Officer
If you rank sufficiently high in the examination and can meet the physical standards, you will have your choice of two courses each leading to an officer's commission:
2. Or you will be selected for training as a Deck or Engineering Officer. In this case you will be allowed to continue your college work until you have received your degree.
1. You may volunteer for training as an Aviation Officer. In this case you will be permitted to finish at least the second calendar year of your college work, after which you will be ordered to active duty for training to become an officer-pilot: Approximately 20,000 men a year will be accepted for Naval Aviation.
CORREA DE GUERRA
After graduation you will be ordered to active duty for training to become a Deck or Engineering Officer. Approximately 15,000 men a year will be accepted.
If you do not qualify for special officer's training, you will be allowed to finish the second calendar year of college, after which you will be ordered to active duty at a Naval Training Station as Apprentice Seaman.
Those who fail to pass their college work at any time may be ordered to active duty at once as Apprentice Seamen.
Your pay starts with active duty.
Here's a real opportunity. A chance to enlist in your country's service now without giving up your college training . . . a chance to prove by that same training that you are qualified to be an officer in the Navy.

The KANSAN Comments...
This Jayhawker State
What does Kansas have to be proud of? Isn't Kansas that state where they have cyclones, where it never rains, where there are duststorms every day, and where the people live in fear of Indian raids?
Kansas is that state with an illiteracy percentage that is one of the lowest in the Union. Her public libraries have more than a million volumes. She is a state that in 1941 paid $28,414,647 in internal revenue. (Population, 1,801,028.)
Kansas can well be called the bread-basket of the United States. She normally produces one-fourth of all the wheat in the United States! Among the flour milling states, she ranks first. She is one of the four leading cattle states.
Kansas has oil, coal, lead, zinc, Portland cement, natural gas, salt, and helium. There are pipelines that carry natural gas directly to Chicago from the fields near Hugoton, in the southwestern part of the state.
This state, Kansas, that had a severe drouth parts of the state went through nine cropless years-supports five state institutions of higher learning, 14 junior colleges, two municipal universities, and a number of denominational colleges. In 1939 she spent $15,000,000 on her state highways. You can cross the state by many routes without leaving the pavement. Kansas is intersected by thousands of miles of railroads, buslines, and airlines.
Now Kansas is rallying to the cause of Uncle Sam. Kansas boys are in the army, navy, marines, coast guard, and the air corps. They are working in defense industries. Many of the people are staying home on the farm to raise food for this busy nation.
What have Kansans to be proud of? We can't be called braggarts if we are just proud of ourselves, our state, and our accomplishments—M.F.
The Nazi's Financial Front
Germany's potent war machine still remains after a gruelling winter during which subzero temperatures and the Russian army inflicted reverses on it. Hitler's armed legions can expect success just so long as Germany can maintain its covert front—its financial battle line, upon which the existence of the Nazi's war effort depends.
Since the beginning of war in September, 1930, Germany has incurred an indebtedness of 121,000,000,000 marks (about $48,000,000,-000) by borrowing from the German people. In the first two years of the war, Hitler increased Germany's national debt some 51,000,-000,000 marks.
Half the cost of financing the war in Germany is met by current taxation, half by borrowing. The Nazis have imposed a frightful burden on the conquered countries, in addition to the financial burden the German people must bear. This takes various forms—seizure of gold of national banks; confiscation of Jews' securities; charges levied against occupied countries to support German armies of occupation; and the forcing of "occupation marks" which have no gold or silver behind them in exchange for occupation armies' expenses.
Dr. Walter Funk, Minister of Economics, Nazi financial wizard, is responsible for Germany's legendius "noiseless finance", plan, which consists of borrowing through the issue
of treasury notes. Four series of these had been issued by the time the war was nine months old, the last one being for 3,000,000,000 marks. So that money will be invested in treasury notes rather than private corporation stocks or bonds, Funk has enacted a law prohibiting private companies from issuing new bonds or shares without government approbation, which now is hard to get.
The surpluses of German corporations have been drained into the Nazi coffers for war use. To a corporate income tax of 30 per cent of net profits on companies having a yearly income of less than 100,000 marks and 40 per cent on companies having incomes over that amount. Dr. Funk has tacked a 25 per cent increase. Hitler feels himself tightly pinched on the financial front; he is the leader of a country where barter has replaced gold. How long can Germany's juggling act of intricate higher finance sustain the Nazi planes, tanks, and submarines?—A.H.

Rock Chalk Talk DEAN SIMS
Bob Fairchild, Sigma Nu, and very frequent dinner guest of Helen Pepperell's at the Gamma Phi house, received a shock Sunday noon when the Gamma Phi freshman class interrupted his meal there to present him with a house-bill and a napkin holder.
Fairchild commented that living over there would undoubtedly have its good points but he's not really considering moving in.
A "little white lie" nearly broke up a beautiful friendship and came near to causing a Corbin hall woman to slug it out with a woman from Miller hall last week. It all began like this:
Bill Reardon, Battenfeld hall, commented to Beth Maxwell, Miller hall, that the naughty Harry Shinkle over at his place had put corn flakes in house mother Mrs. Montgomery's bed for a good joke.
Harry Shinkle (at approximately the same time) was telling Lucille Loeb, Corbin hall, of the foul joke pulled by a guy named Bill Reardon—the putting of corn flakes in Mrs. Montgomery's bed.
Fate brought about an early meeting between Beth Maxwell and Lucille Loeb. Beth told Lucille what a rat she though Harry was for playing cruel jokes on his house mother—Lucille told Beth what a rat she thought Bill was for doing the same thing. So they argued (trusting souls that women are—to believe the words of a man) over WHO put the corn flakes in poor Mrs, Montgomery's bed.
One of the boys confessed and it all ended happily.
Gamma Phi Nancy Kerber last week received a long-distance telephone call from Washington, D.C.-Phi Psi steady of the 1940-41 school year, Otto Kiehl, and Phi Psi steady of part of the 1941-42 session, Steve Meade, pooled funds and made the call.
Nancy stated that she was almost speechless—which must mean she fed them both the same line.
Wendell Link, Templin hall, sustained a double tragedy last week—two dates in succession told hi mat the door, "I'm sorry Wendell, but I can't see you any more. I'm going steady."
Just to test the theory that "Eleanor Roosevelt is the only woman alive who can eat an apple through a picket fence," the Sigma Kappas all tried eating apples through the backs of their chairs at Saturday lunch.
Oddly enough, two inmates of the house were found who did not have the slightest trouble in accomplishing the feat.
Saturday night, Theta, Woggie Stewart, and Beta, Bill Jones, put out their pins. While the Theta chapter waited expectantly on their front porch for the Jones fellow to appear and collect his kisses, the man, Eberhart, strolled out on the porch of the near-by Beta house. (Fred Eberhart holds the title of "secret passion man" of the Theta freshman class.)
It was only a matter of minutes until Bill Jones was almost forgotten and Fred Eberhart discussed.
to parallel rows of onions, peas, radishes, lettuce, and potatoes which are working their way through the soil to form small green sprouts.
Inverted professors means Victory Gardens—at any rate, 27 members of the University faculty and their families have purchased connective plots of land at the end of Alabama street and will combine their efforts to produce large quantities of vegetables this spring. After weeks of bending, stooping, and almost standing on their heads, professors can point with pride to parallel rows of onions, $ \textcircled{9} $
Professors Grow Onions In War Defense Effort
Brightly colored slacks, roomy overalls, and large sunhats speckle the grounds. Deans, scientists, and bacteriologists show no marks of distinction. Each is unrecognizable in comfortable attire.
Rains Don't Interrupt
During almost any hour of the day someone is occupied pulling weeds, turning rows of dirt, and perhaps just admiring the progress of their work. Even the rains do not halt the gardening activities, for during the past week a mother and her young daughter waded through the soggy gound to continue their work.
Spring rains were at first welcomed by the gardeners, but continuous downpours have washed away many seeds, and greatly hindered the development of recently planted vegetables. Not yet discouraged, the gardeners continue to
work daily in their small truck gardens repairing the damage.
The youngest gardener is three-year-old Raymond Nichols, Jr., who is learning the art of cultivation from his father. Raymond follows his industrious teacher down the long rows of freshly-turned soil and carefully places a seed in the designated spot. His latest accomplishment is replacing the dirt with a stick and packing it around the seed with small but experienced hands.
Each lot consists of 3,500 square feet, but all the space has not been utilized to date. Beans, squash, and corn are a few of the vegetables that will be planted in season. The project to raise needed products rather than perishable flowers is one more of the many undertakings on the Hill for aiding national defense.
Age Is No Restriction
"This proves that scientists am mathematicians can work side by side and produce a fine garden crop commented Mrs. Ruth McMahon owner of one of the lots. "It takes

until the last inning when he gave up four hits and nine walks. The Alph's had no trouble solving the deliveries of Eldon Williams and Paul Turner for 18 hits and numerous walks. Jack Ballard showed up well for the victors, getting three hits in four official trips to the plate. Don Johnson led the losers, getting one hit in two trips.
Although out-hit the boys from Carruth Hall managed to eke out a hard fought victory over Battenfeld Hall. 5 to 3. Marion Nunemaker, pitching for the victors, allowed 8 hits but kept them well scattered and tightened up in the pinches to lead his mates. Leonard Hays, although giving only 6 hits showed signs of wildness and was ineffective in the clutch. Ralph Anderson showed well for the winners getting one-third of his team's hits in three trips to the plate. Dave Rosen led the Battenfield team with two hits in three times up.
In another ragged game the I.R.G. team paced by Tom Dooley defended the Jayhawk Co-op team 14 to 5. Smith was on the mound for the winners and John Lo Pinto hurled for the losers. The I.R.G. team hopped on Lo Pinto for 19 hits to pound
Symphony to Feature Strauss' 'Death' Tonight
When a composer makes a lucrative living from music, he must be good. When he does it by writing serious music, he must be better. That's what Richard Strauss has done, so he should at least be pretty good. Anyway, persons who claim to know are comparing him with such illustrious names as Bach and Beethoven.
When Walt Disney was dreaming up "Fantasia," he cabled Strauss (so the story goes) and asked what he (Strauss) would throw to let him (Dinosa)
Strauss (so the story goes) charge to let him (Disney) use Till Eulenspiegel for background music in the cartoon. Strauss cabled back that the price would be $75,000. Back went Disney's reply telling Strauss that of course he knew where he could go, and Till too. Said Strauss, "Okay, but the price is still $75,000."
One of this man's most famous works, "Death and Transfiguration," will be presented by the University symphony in its spring concert tonight. "Death" is a symphony complete in one movement, a musical narrative portraying the death of a man and the transfiguration of his soul.
Thinks Back to Childhood
The piece opens in a sick-room. The irregular breathing of a man near death is heard—his flighting thoughts of childhood—this is the theme of the first section.
Then comes delirium. The man's very body and soul are torn by the agony of fever and the approach of death. Writhing melodies expressing pain, impatience, and excitement are pitted one against another. The opening irregular rhythm of breathing is now excited and agonizing. A halting figure from time to time is the insistence of Fate that the struggle for life be given up.
The first vision of man's transfiguration is seen as a steady rising melody of six notes played by the low strings and brasses. But a frenzied chord indicates that the man is reluctant to die. A short irregular pulsation follows, after which the violins quietly rise to a new realm. Life Passes In Review
Following in rapid succession are scenes from his life as the man fights against death. First he dreams of the simplicity and sweetness of
childhood, then the joy of youth, and finally manhood, when life in its fullest expression of passion and strength is interrupted only by Fate with its eternal questions of "Whither and Why?"
Again transfiguration is offered, this time with the added insistence of the entire orchestra. But still the man does not give up; rather he dreams of his past life. Once more is heard the motive of transfiguration, stronger and longer, but the melodies that follow are of youth intermingled with pain.
Peace In Life After Death
However, the third time the vision of transfiguration appears, the soul of mortal man is completely enfolded by the grandeur and strength of life after death. All that remains of life before death is the meager suggestion of the breath of life along with man's struggle with fate. Then the entry into the celestial realm, the life after death consisting of heavenly peace and repose.
This piece is seldom performed by orchestras of less than 100 members, and the University orchestra has taxed itself heavily preparing itself for its presentation, Karl Kuersteiner, director of the orchestra said. Some of the instruments required are little used in other music, and one of them had to be brought from out of town, the contra bassoon, which will be played by Jeanne Meyer, college sophomore.
The three women's residence halls at the University will remain open for both summer sessions. Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser of women, announced today.
Open Women's Dorms To Summer Session
Miller hall will be a co-op unit,— Watkins hall will be open for rooms only, and Corbin hall will be open for room and two meals a day.

World at War to Hear Professor Dade Thursday
E. B. Dade, professor of economics, will speak at the World at War lecture, 7:30, Thursday evening. Professor Dade's speech will be entitled "Resources of the Warrring Powers" and in the lecture he will endeavor to show the relative strength and weaknesses of the countries now at war. By this comparison he hopes to point out the prospects for victory of the United Nations.
Here they are, the stars of the sensational new Technicolor hit, "To the Shores of Tripoli."

13 Pass Tests For Jayhawk Air Squadron
Thirteen men have passed the preliminary physical examination for the newly organized Jayhawk Squadron of the naval air corps. Before being officially admitted to the squadron consisting of men from the University, students will have to pass final examinations to be given in Kansas City in the near future.
Ten men have already been accepted in the squadron, according to Joe Brown, information man for the University. These men have passed both preliminary and final physical tests and have had all transcripts and qualifications approved by the naval air corps. Plans are now being made for mass enlistment.
New men to pass the preliminary physical are: Charles Casad, Keith Cruse, Warren Gladhart, Wayne Johnson, LeRoy Johnson, Kemper Kost, Wendell Nelson, Kenneth Redman, Alfred Reed, Carl Schmidt, Dale Stewart, Bill Wintermote, and Bob Woolverton.
The culled men will go to the naval induction center at the University of Iowa for three months preliminary training. From Iowa they will be sent to the Gardner, Kae, naval base for another three months and will complete the course as pilots at either Pensacola, Miami, or Corpus Christi, the advanced naval air corps training centers.
Allen Crowns Two Maytime Monarchs
Dr. Forrest C. Allen crowned Vance Hall, college senior and a member of the basketball squad, and Mary Ann Bowen, college senior, King and Queen of the May yesterday in a ceremony during the class in Community Recreation. Dick Miller, education junior, and Kathryn Schaake, education senior, took over the class for the period to demonstrate Maypole dancing.
Allen, in his coronation address, praised the royal couple for the honor bestowed by their classmates.
The queen looked lovely in her sweater and skirt complemented by unusually clean saddle shoes. The debonair king made a regal entrance in his coronation robes consisting of a tan sweater and the ever-apparent corduroys.
During the remainder of the period the classmates paid homage to the royal couple by spirited, if not graceful, Maypole dancing while the king and queen democratically kept the Maypoles from being toppled over by the prancing dancers.
Reclaims Wagon From Museum
Kingstown, R. I. —(UP)— To insure delivery of groceries to his customers, Stephen N. Gardiner has reclaimed his ancient wagon from the South County Museum, where it has been a loan exhibit. With his recently purchased horse, he plans to make 15 to 20 mile trips to his more distant customers.

(continued from page one) point involves a reluctance to take a full day from an already shortened semester schedule.
The action of the Council is mnr so far as that group is concerned. Also discussed at the meeting last night was the MSC-sponsored defense stamp sale drive to be conducted April 26-29. Max Webster, college sophomore, is the Council member in charge of the drive, and reported last night that tentative plans included intensive drives among faculty members and students, donations through pledge cards, free cokes with defense stamps bought at Hill hangouts, and a 2-hour dance Wednesday evening, April 29, at which a defense bond will be raffled.
(continued from page one) that these loan funds have not been used as much as they could be.
Concerning classes to be offered this summer, Prof. J. O. Jones, professor of applied mechanics, said "We hope to work out some program which will enable the majority of men to attend summer school."
In speaking to the engineering students, Malott stated that the University has become a clearing house for information on what the government has been doing and on what it intends to do. In his office he probably has as much information of this type in the form of bulletins, telegrams, papers and requests from the federal agencies as any other center in this area, he stated.
MALOTT URGES--unusual instruments. For example, the contra bassoon, which weighs about 100 pounds and cost approximately $600, had to be borrowed from Ottawa University. It is just about all that Jeanne Moyer, college sophomore, can handle, as she coaxes from it the lowest of all musical notes any instrument can produce.
The Chancellor promised that the
Jakosky Speaks
University would do all it could to assure them of their professional training before they enter the armed forces. With that training behind them, the Chancellor pointed out that they could be of more service to their country both now and in the future.
J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, urged students planning to attend summer school to contact heads of their departments at the earliest possible time in order to determine their schedules.
Recently the army air corps announced that deferred service would be given to professional engineering students.

Clarence Peterson, college senior, has arranged this outstanding bit of American music for the University modern Choir, with an orchestral background into which he has woven much original music. Instead of symphonizing the piece, Peterson says he has tried to present the "Blues" at its best, in Saturday night rather than Sunday clothes.

250 Students Come To Hill For Guest Day
Approximately 250 high school seniors and sponsors will be here for the Interscholastic Guest day tomorrow Harold G. Ingham, director of extension division, announced today.
A full day program has been arranged by the extension division of the University and students will not be wanting for something to do while visiting the campus in the second annual interscholastic guest day. The only expense to visiting students will be that of meals, which will be arranged on a low cost basis.
At noon a cafeteria-style lunch will be served in the Memorial Union building.
The morning program will consist of tours of campus museums and to other points of interest. The visitors will be shown how students at the University carry on activities in work and in amusement. The department of drawing and design will have an exhibit for the touring students to visit.
At 1:00 the boys will visit Templin and Battenfield halls and the girls will visit Miller and Watkins halls. Fol-

Start New Red Cross Class Soon
In cooperation with the civilian defense program, the department of home economics is again sponsoring a Red Cross nutrition course. One hour of credit will be given to University students who complete the course and pass an examination. The new class will meet every Thursday night from 7:30 to 9:30 in the Lawrence Community building. Students interested should get in touch with Miss Kathryn Tissue, assistant professor of home economics.
The course will include discussion of the relation of nutrition to health, food requirements of the body, food values, the effect of processing, storage and preparation on the nutritive value of foods, the selection of foods to improve the diet at different economic levels, and the development of good food habits and training for participation in community activities in nutrition. The class work includes lectures and demonstrations.
Forty-nine out of the 86 who enrolled in the last two classes completed the course and passed the examination.
"Men as well as women may enrol in the course," Miss Tissue said
SPRING SYMPHONY Tschaikowsky Wows 'Em Feature Blues
BY FOREST HASHBARGER
That Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowsky's interpretation of the Piano Concerto in B flat minor is as popular as the offerings by our modern orchestras was evident from the long and loud applause given Bernerd McNown, senior in the School of Fine Arts, for his presentation of the piece at the annual spring concert of the University symphony orchestra Tuesday night. McNown played the score as written by Tschaikowsky for the piano with orchestral accompaniment, which is as enjoyable as
the many dance arrangements that have been floating through the air.
The program opened with "American Festival Overture," composed by W. Otto Miessner, professor of education and public school music, while he was a student in Germany. A picture of an American festival scene, the piece was well received in its first performance during a regular session of the University. As the flag arose to its full height, and the last notes of the "Star Spangled Banner" died away, a swelling of applause filled Hoch auditorium.
The Orchestra Stars Early
The Orchestra Strauss' "Death and Transfiguration," a musical narrative describing the death of a man and the transfiguration of his soul.

Juniors and seniors in the college will be given the last opportunity to take the English proficiency ex- examination this year on Saturday. April 25, a week earlier than previously announced.
The examination is required for eligibility for graduation. Students who have not taken the examination should do so at this time as no plans are being made to offer the examination during the summer session.
Proficiency Exam Set Up to April 25; No Test This Summer
Air Scare On Coast
This is the fourth time the examination has been offered this year. Approximately 350 students have taken the examination the other three times it has been offered.

San Francisco, Calif. — (UP) — Northern California had another air scare this morning when unidentified planes were spotted above the San Francisco bay area, the U.S. army reports. At 9:53 am. (Pacific War Time) the alert signal was sounded, and Californians wondered if real war had hit them at last.
Radio stations in the area immediately went off the air, and civilian defense headquarters stood by for instructions. It was soon discovered that the unidentified aircraft was friendly, and the alert went off at 10:12 a.m. No general air raid alarm was sounded.
The 17-minute alert was northern California's first daylight alarm of the war.
K.U. Drive Opens For Naval Relief
As part of the national movement to provide $5,000,000 for the Naval Relief Society, the University has been asked to raise $200 as its share of the Douglas county quota of $900, and the drive was opened today under the direction of E. C. Buehler, chairman of the K.U. committee for the society. Letters have been mailed to all members of the University staff, and it is the purpose of the committee that the funds may be provided without the necessity of a personal solicitation.
Secretary of the Navy Knox reports that 2340 navy men were killed and nearly 1000 wounded in the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor. The casualties in this single attack were greater than for all the naval participation in the Spanish American War and World War I combined. This fact plus other heavy losses of recent naval engagements has created a serious emergency for the Naval Relief Society.
The purpose behind the society is this: no widow, no orphaned children, no mother or other member of a navy man's family shall suffer hardship where it can be prevented. The society gives immediate financial aid when necessary when a navy man dies from any cause; gives help in emergency operations and medical treatment in the family; provides continued aid to the navy man's dependents who need care, and helps in the education of dependent young. The society operates through outright grants, by regular payments while the need continues, and by loans without interest.
This relief does not overlap the Red Cross, Blue Jackets or any other relief project, Buehler pointed out. It is directed only to the needs caused by deaths in the naval service corps. There will be no student drive on the Hill, although contributions from students will be thankfully accepted by the committee.
Honor Students In Convocation
More than 175 students will be honored at the nineteenth annual Honors Convocation in Hoch auditorium at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The program will open with the "Star Spangled Banner" led by Prof. Joseph F. Wilkins and the University band under the direction of E. Thayer Gaston, assistant director.
Baker Places First In Oratorical Meet
Announcement of honors by Chancellor Deane W. Malott will include highest ranking students in the classes, Mortar
The judges for the contest were Walter Russell, instructor of speech in the Lawrence Liberty Memorial high school; James Barton, instructor of speech at the University; and Milton Beach, county attorney of Lawrence.
The title of Baker's speech was "Pontius Pilate Walks the Plains." John Waggoner spoke on "The Terrible Truth," and Arthur Nelson's speech was entitled, "Long Run Americanism."
Merrill Peterson was chairman of the program. Other contestants were: Ethel Jane MacFarland, college unclassified; Clarence Molett, college sophomore; Bob Hutchinson, college freshman.
Russell Baker, business senior, won the first prize of $10 last night in the Hill oratorical contest held in Fraser theater. Second prize of $8 was won by Arthur Nelson, college sophomore, and third prize of $7 went to John Waggoner, college junior.
Nelson To Represent University
Arthur Nelson, college sophomore, has been chosen to represent the University in a speech contest to be held April 24 in Frank Strong auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Participating in the contest will be representatives from McPherson College, the University of Ottawa, Kansas State College, Bethany College, Kansas Wesleyan College, and the University of Kansas.
Thirty dollars in prizes will be awarded. First prize will be $15; second prize, $10; and third prize, $5.
Army Draft Causes Trial Postponement
Law practice court will be postponed until late in April, Prof. P. W. Viesselman, professor of law, said yesterday. A trial was planned for this week, but some members of both sides have been drafted, causing the trial to be canceled.
Professor Viesselman said he believed the next court would meet April 26 under Prof. L. T. Tupy of the School of Law. Another trial will be held early in May.
Board, and probably Sachem and the Owl Society.
Chancellor Malott will also name the honor man of 1941-42. The selection is made by an anonymous committee from a list of outstanding senior men on the basis of leadership, scholarship, character, and service to the University.
Last years honor man was C. H. Mullen, then a second year law student, and former president of the Men's Student Council. Mullen was also a Phi Beta Kappa, Chief Sachem and head proctor of the three men's residence halls. He is now serving in the armed forces of the United States.
Following the announcement of honors, the University b and d will play a descriptive march, "Skyliner March" by Alford.
Mr. F. D. Farrell, president of Kansas State College will address the Convocation assembly on "A Motto for Scholars." The "Crimson and the Blue" will conclude the Honors Convocation.
To discover and develop hidden talent on the University campus, as well as to give opportunities to those already prominent in the entertainment field, a Student Union Entertainment Bureau is being set up under the sponsorship of Student Union Activities.
The bureau is being conducted by a committee headed by Newell Jenkins, college sophomore; and John Shelton, college freshman.
Henry Werner, dean of men, approves of the bureau. "To organize this unquestionable talent and to make it available for the entertainment of students by students is one of the finest things that the Union could do in this particular field," he said.
Organize Bureau To Bring Out Hidden Talents
Organized for the enjoyment of both entertainers and the entertained, the bureau will tend to promote spontaneity and a love of entertaining. "The bureau is purely for fun," said Jenkins, "but by doing it, we are also bound to better Hill entertainment."
The Bureau plans to organize and utilize all new talent that comes to the campus every year.

Hill Takes President's Advice; Bicycling Proves A Relaxation
President Roosevelt has advised even the hardest working people to get some relaxation and exercise. Hill men and women have taken his advice and their most recent form of relaxation and exercise is bicycling. As yet they have not been riding under umbrellas on rainy days, but on almost any sunshiny day a group of students can be seen pedaling and puffing around the Hill.
Bicycling is good entertainment when one has a few leisure moments and it is a convenient method of transportation to picnic grounds.

Hill Co-eds Volunteer To Work For Soldiers
Officers and privates for the Co-ed Volunteer Corps, an army organization plan for University women, were sworn in by Col. James S. Dusenbury, professor of military science, at the first meeting of the new organization at 4:30 p.m. today in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.
Before the meeting, the committee of Hill women in charge of organizing the volunteer corps met to make final arrangements. Gov. Payne Ratner will send the local corps its standing
on May 1. The Co-ed Volunteer Corps will be statewide in scope.
Election of officers for the organization, which is open to all University women, was held at the meeting. Officers will be a major as commanding officer, major's aid as secretary, captain adjutant as finance officer, captain adjutant as a point system manager, 6 lieutenants, and a platoon sgt. from each house represented. Other women in the organization will be sworn in as privates and will be able to work into higher positions through a point merit system.
The only requirement for membership is that the prospective member must start a defense stamp book. Stamps were sold at the door of the ballroom at the meeting.
Plans for the units are to sponsor milk drives, attend U.S.O. dances, send cookies and University publications to former students now in the service, and aid in the conservation movement. The group, which will be sponsored by the W.S.G.A., also plans to have drives to purchase defense bonds which will be given to the University for scholarships for boys in the services who will return to school after the war.
An honorary marching unit is also being planned. Uniforms for the women will be arm bands with "cVc" written on them. After three hours' work each women will be awarded a "cVc" button.
Jill Peek, college sophomore, heads the committee in charge of plans. Other members of the committee are Lila May Reetz, college freshman; Georgia Ferrel, college junior; Joan Bastian, college sophomore; Joy Howland, college sophomore; Peggy Davis, college sophomore; Jean Hoffman, college sophomore; Jean Bailey, college junior, and Ruth Krebiel, college sophomore.

Stockton Will Lecture On U.S. War Economy
Frank T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, will discuss "Problems of American War Economy" at the twelfth lecture of the World at War series tonight at 7:30 oclock tonight in Fraser theater.
The problem facing the nation, Stockton says, is that of gearing our economy into a systematic and coordinated machine for war production. This involves the development of plant capacity, filling raw material needs, solving the problem of producing machine tools, converting industries from civilian to war production, and solving the questions arising over labor.
In planning an economy for war production, it is necessary to take into account civilian needs and the best way to handle them. In his lecture tonight, Stockton will discuss the necessity of simplification and standardization of goods produced for civilian use, of concentrating the manufacture of these goods in fewer plants, and of rationing of these goods.
Another problem arising from war production is that of price increases and methods of controlling them. To prevent the cost of living from increasing too much, some plan of price control must be worked out. Equally important is the question of how to put the brakes on spending. Increased taxation and the sale of defense bonds and stamps have been applied, but the question is whether that be enough.
Stockton will explain these points.
A recent check-up lists six junior college sororities in the United States.
Harry Scott of Rice institute is men's representative for physical fitness in the Eighth area organization of civilian defense.
Stockton will explain these points. Tonight's speaker believes we are rapidly developing a planned economy essential to the war program, and the outlook is that we will be living under such a system for many years, in his opinion.
Drums Beat Out Jungle Jive Zilch Lands at Dakar
BY RALPH GIANBATTISTA COLDREN
Fresh from this triumph in the dark wilds of the Congo, Zilch, the fourth estate's "Son of Heaven," made his way to the Atlantic and then up the Gold Coast to the seething metropolis of Dakar.
Warm Reception
Zilch was welcomed by the childlike Ouolof natives of the Cape Verde region and made such an impression upon them that they considered him one of their own and swore him in as an honorary tribal member. While living in the soukolas (huts) of the natives, Zilch was able to study and photograph them in their native habitat. He promised to show these new fourth
At the friendly village of Ubangi on the Lubilahzs river, Zilch assembled his powerful crystal set and established first communication with the outside world. His first words flashed to a breathless and waiting audience were: "Livingstone has been found." Zilch had scored another scoop!

seller, "The Life and Loves of a Type Louse," had been sighted.
This town had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Zilch ever since he had flashed word that he was leaving Cairo on the long dangerous trek to West Africa. Upon leaving Cairo, Zilch had planned to fly across the Sahara desert straight to Dakar but a severe war rationing of high test wood alcohol by the Egyptian government forced the famed newspaperman to abandon his space ship for lack of fuel. Zilch decided to take the great circle route to Dakar. He and his safari pushed up the Nile into the heart of the "Dark Continent" and then to the headwaters of the Congo.

Shortly before leaving Dakar on his trek across the Atlantic to South America, Zilch discovered that by special processing, the Arachides (native peanut) which grows in abundance in the Dakar, region, yields a certain high test wood alcohol necessary to run his space ship. Whether or not he will go back to Cairo for his abandoned space ship or build a new and faster one at Dakar remains unknown.
When asked if he expected to be in Lawrence, Kan., in time for the dinner on Tuesday, Zilch merely blinked his bloodshot eyes seven times and said, "Wait and see."

THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1942
FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Busiest man on Mt. Oread today is Bill Hargiss, Kansas track coach and manager of the twentieth Kansas Relays. A few of his duties are: getting and instructing officials for the interscholastic meet tomorrow and the collegiate events Saturday, having the University track put in condition, and lining up a Jayhawk track squad of his own . . . Bill looks for record performances in most of the events. While the field is smaller than last years, Hargiss believes the caliber of the contestants is better than any that has been assembled for the Relays for a number of years.
A powerful four mile relay that will be entered in the college class is that from Cornell College of Mt. Vernon, Iowa. The quartet is composed of Solmitz, Wilson, Orms, and Clutterham, and their coach is none other than the indomitable Glenn Cunningham who will be referee for the big track and field carnival Saturday . . . All four members of this crack relay team are sophomores and should break plenty of records in the next two years should the war allow them to run intact that long. Star of the Cornell squad is Dave Clutterham (whose name, coincidentally, rhymes with Cunningham's). He has been blazing new records up Iowa way all year in distances all the way from the mile to the cross-country run.
Returning to the Relays this year will be Indiana's high-geared middle-distance star, Campbell Kane. He is national intercollegiate half mile champion. Should Oklahoma's super-charged medley relay team hook up with Indiana in Saturday's races, the Sooner's Bill Lyda and Dick Smethers should give Kane and Paul Riley of the Hoosier crew a hot time right up to the finish.
On Colorado's track squad will be two men who blazed glory paths on high school cinder tracks throughout the state of Kansas. Verne Lockhard, Buff weight man, won the Kansas high school discus crown at the state meet at Emporia in 1938. Besides being a football and track star for Colorado, he also excels in a scholastic way . . . Lockhard's teammate is Dick Shakeshaft of Topeka. In the 1938 state track meet he took fourth in the low hurdles; his running partner, Don Pololl, carried off the high hurdles crown that day. This Saturday Shakeshaft for Colorado and Polloll for Kansas will probably be matching strides over the sticks in the preliminaries, at least.
Ralph Graham, former Kansas State football stalwart, who has resigned his position under "Bo" McMillin at Indiana to assume the athletic directorship of Wichita University, must not have very high regard for the athletic fortunes at the Kansas school . . . He believes that the athletic situation at Wichita U. is at low ebb, that it isn't unusual for fights to break out in the middle of a football game with the players, fans, and coaches entering into the fun with flats, bottles, or any other available weapons . . .
He says that Kansas is a red hot football state and the boys out this way hate to have a loser, Graham
Vault Mark May Fall Saturday
With the receipt of entrance blanks from Wisconsin University, University of Kansas relays officials are putting the final touches on plans for the Twentieth Annual Relays to be held in Memorial Stadium, and are now hoping for fair weather to assist some of the most spirited and classy competition in recent years.
Heading the Wisconsin delegation will be Bill Williams, ace pole vaulter, who with Harold Hunt of Nebraska, Jack DeField of Minnesota, not to mention Missouri's Billy Rothwell and Nebraska's Howard Debus, is expected to put on one of the finest vaulting shows ever seen in this section of the country.
Williams and Defield tied for the K. U. Relays championship last year at 13 feet on a blustery day so windy that it kept the great Earl Meadows, former world's record holder here for an exhibition of his speciality, to a vault of a little over 13 feet.
Both have been going consistently over 14 feet this year, as has Williams. Hunt won the Texas relays event with a leap of over 14 feet and DeField was second only to Cornelius Warmerdam in the Millrose games in New York, with a vault of 14 feet even.
Wisconsin's Bob Bierle, ace weight man, is expected to put on a stirring battle with Missouri's giant Elmer Aussieker, and Minnesota's Ray Milberg. All three heavens have been tossing the shot out around the 50 foot marker and with a fair day, of-
Another event which is being anticipated with a great deal of interest is the high jump, featuring Oklahoma A. & M.'s Don Boydston, winner of the event in 1940 at the Kansas games. He will be back this year to attempt to regain his garlands which were won with a leap of 6 feet 6 inches. Boydston has done 6 feet 8 inches this spring. Chief competition is expected to come from Milne of Michigan State. The Kansas relay's record is 6 feet 7-9-16 inches set by Gil Cruter, of Colorado, in 1338.
sees the remedy to abolish fisticuffs at the Wheatshocker stronghold in a winning football team. He has intimated that he already has some prospective players lined up; they will be able to take the field in their frost year at Wichita as there is no conference rule forbidding yearling from varsity competition there
One of the most interesting duels of the day is expected to be in the sprint medley between Oklahoma's fast stepping quartet, and Indiana's four man combination. The Hoosiers won the event last year and in accomplishing the feat set a new relay's mark of 3:25.2. Two of the members of last year's winning combination, Campbell Kane, national intercollegiate half mile king, and Paul Riley, are on the team this season.
ficials are looking for an approach to the record of Elmer Hackney who established the Kansas Relay's mark of 52 feet 1 1-2 inches in 1939.
Included in the university class are University of Arkansas, Iowa State, Oklahoma A. & M., Oklahoma University, Minnesota, Marquette, Michigan State, Missouri, North Texas State of Denton, Texas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Wichita, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the University of Kansas.

Missing this year for the first time since the relays were established are Northwestern and Iowa, always strong contenders for both individual and team championships.
The Kansas City, Mo., high school relay has drawn entries from seven schools: East, Southwest, Northwest, Manual, Northeast, Paseo, and Central.
Among the individual performers who are expected to attract the attention of the spectators and visiting coaches are Grimes, Ashland speedster, who copped three firsts in the class B division of the Anthony relays, Fiendt, Wichita East weight specialist, Shimel, Hutchinson, last year's champion in the interscholastic carnival 440 yard dash, and Waldecker, Hutchinson sprinter, who placed in the 100 yard event in 1941. Grimes paced the class B field at Anthony for garlands in the 100, 220, and 440 yard dash events. He was outstanding at K.U. last year when he placed fourth in the class B century dash and copped the 440.
One of the most outstanding fields in the history of the Interscholastic track and field meet to be held in connection with the twentieth annual relays has been entered this year.
Among the class A entries, squads with the best chances of coping school honors, are likely to be Wichita East, winner of the annual invitational meet held last week at Anthony; Wichita North, runner up to their city rivals in the Anthony carnival; Wyandotte, city champion of Kansas City, Kansas; Topeka, and Hutchinson.
Other stars who will be in the spotlight among the interscholastic performers will include Ray Thompson Wichita North, whose specialty is the broad jump; Ed Williams, Iola, who is reported to be tossing the javelin around the 200 foot marker; Jack Meade, Abilene pole vaulter who placed high in the 1941 carnival; Bob

Kappa Sig's, Sig Ep's Victors in Softball
By PAUL MOSER
In the only two games played last night the Kappa Sig's and the Sig Ep's emerged as victors. The games were the best played thus far in the intramural league.
With Bob Gunn limiting the A.T.O.'s to seven hits, and giving only one walk the Kappa Sig's defeated the A.T.O.'s, 11 to 4. The Kappa Sig's had a big fifth inning to push across five runs, and from then on were never headed. George Robb, A.T.O. hurler, gave up eleven hits and five walks and received poor support from his mates.
Millard Mussemann and Earl Lowe led the Kappa Sig's getting three hits in as many trips to the plate. Mussemann also contributed the fielding gem of the day when he made a hard running catch of Dick Webb's hard hit drive. Mark McLain and Fred Coulson led the losers at the bat collecting two hits in three times at bat.

By virtue of an air-tight defense and ability to hit in the clutches, Sig Ep's defeated the Newman Club 4 to 3. Eldon Williams was on the mound for the Ep's, limiting the Newman's to four hits and four walks.
In the first inning the Sig Ep's lit on the offerings of Ralph Shapley to drive two runs across and take an early lead which they never relinquished. In the second inning the Newman's had two men on base with Elmer Bein batting. He caught one and drove it into deep left-center field for what appeared to be a sure triple, but Paul Turner, Sig Ep left-fielder, ran far to his left to make a beautiful shoe-string catch of the ball.
Williams won his own game in the fourth when he cracked out a double to bring Jim Bradley romping home with the winning run. Williams led his team at bat getting two hits in three official times at bat. Bob Bell, Newman third baseman, led his mates getting one hit in two trips to the plate.

The independents forfeited their softball game last night to Watkins Hall. The Chi Omega team beat the Alpha Chi's 35 to 4. The battery for the Chi Omega's was Mary Taylor and Dorothy Burkhead. Alpha Chi's battery was Betty Allen and Jean Brownlee.
The Chi Omega team were hard hitters and home runs were made by Mary Margaret Gray, Bety Allphin, and Alice Louise Brown. Margaret Gurney was the outstanding player on the Alpha Chi team.

TWENTIETH RELAYS Dream Becomes Reality Nation's Best
On April 23, 1923, the Kansas Relays were officially born. A score of universities and colleges were on hand for the Relays' initial show. The Big Ten was represented; Texas A. & M. and Baylor of the Southwest conference were here; and Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas State, Drake, and Grinnell, all of the Missouri Valley conference, participated. Pennsylvania brought a track team half way across the nation for the event.
Some of the world's greatest track talent—Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke, Jim Bausch, Earl Meadows, Don Boydston, Clyde Coffman, Fred Wolcott, and Archie Harris, to name but a few—have received the plaudits of thousands of Kansas Relays spectators for outstanding performances since Dr. John Outland, the "Father of the Kansas Relays," saw his dream become reality 19 years ago.
Karl Schaldenman, Michigan State track mentor who is to be starter for the Relays this year, guided the fortunes of the Jayhawk track squad in
Work was begun on Memorial stadium in 1921 and by 1923 Kansas' one-fifth mile dirt track had been converted into a quarter-mile cinder path, complete with a concrete horseshoe capable of seating 40,000 onlookers.
Dr. Outland, now living in Kansas City, Mo., enrolled in the University in 1893. The following year he lettered on the Jayhawk football team playing both tackle and fullback. In 1895 Outland transferred to the University of Pennsylvania where
he became an all-American Grid player for two consecutive years.
While he was attending Pennsylvania, the Penn Relays were started. This track carnival impressed Dr. Outland deeply, and many years later he brought the idea for such a meet to Dr. F. C. Allen at Kansas. In 1920 plans for the Kansas Relays began to materialize.

The KANSAN Comments...
Dangerous Boom
When the machines begin to clatter at Eudora's new war plant, they will be sounding a danger warning to the University of Kansas.
Wherever large new war industries have sprung up, with their mammoth payrolls, living costs have risen, too. Prices naturally rise in such localities because of increased demand for all commodities and services, and an added impetus is given in some cases when some townspeople hike prices to make a little easy money.
Civic officials of Lawrence and neighboring cities agree that a large number of workers in the new factory will commute daily from Lawrence. That would create a boom for owners of rooming houses and restaurants here, but is a blow to University students, for room rent and food prices will be going up at an accelerated pace. By fall, increased costs of living in Lawrence may make enrollment impossible for some students who have been hard put to finance their education even under present conditions.
The rental agency established by the Chamber of Commerce and the other activities started by them indicate that the city of Lawrence is well aware of the changes to come. Student housing should be of continued interest to Lawrence citizens because--though a defense plant may come and go-the University is a permanent institution.
How much the new situation will actually affect the University is impossible to predict, but it will bring many changes to Lawrence. The progress in student living conditions made in the last three years must not be lost now.
Is Turkey to Be Next?
Greatest natural barrier to Hitler's Middle Eastern drive is Turkey. Blocking the back door to Russian oil fields in the Caucasus, protecting Cyprus, Syria, and Suez, and clamping shut the entrance to the Black sea, it is strategically the most valuable area in the Near East today.
Both England and Germany have recognized its importance. In 1939, Turkey signed an alliance with Britain and France, and even after the fall of the latter, has given frequent assurances of her loyalty to Briaina. However, Hitler's "third degree" expert, Franz Von Papen, has been working on the Turks for some time and may have damaged the Allied cause.
The water connecting between the Black and Aegean seas—the Bosporus, Sea of Marmora, and the Dardanelles—divide the country into two distinct parts—Thrace and Turkey proper.
Thrace is a small area, an offshoot of the Balkan peninsula. Turkey proper is a 300,000 square-mile, rectangular-shaped country about two-thirds surrounded by water and bounding Russia, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. In the east are the high mountains of the fierce Kurdish tribesmen. The central country is a plateau sinking to north, west, and south into wooded foothills near the coast.
Along the whole seacoast—the Black, Aegean, and Mediterranean—extends a strip of forest averaging 75 miles in width. It is widest and densest in Thrace and the Bosporus sector, the area through which the German army must first slice its way. In fact, this wooded straits country is the only good natural defense line Turkey has against attack from the Balkans.
Her climate is varied. The central section is
temperate, with hot summers and frequent light snows in winter. The west and south coasts have a semi-tropical Mediterranean climate, but the north coast is annually afflicted with biting winds and deep snows sweeping across the Black sea from Russia.
Turkey's population is slightly under 18,000,- 000, and is widely scattered except in Thrace, where the city of Istanbul, of Constantinople, has over a million inhabitants.
Hitler has begun his spring drive against Russia and has increased air activity over Malta. The Allies are awaiting a blow at the Turks. Probably military aid will be sent from accumulating Allied units in the near East.
A long time ago, backward Turkey used to be called the "sick man of Europe." We hope that he has weathered his attack of Von Papen fever and that his courage and strength are unimpaired.--c.R.

Jewett Seeks Defense Plant Water Supply
To determine possibilities of a temporary ground-water supply for the Sunflower ordnance plant during the construction period, J. M. Jewett of the state geological survey started a brief investigation Saturday of the thickness of the Tonganoxie sandstone and the sandstone in the Stanton formation.
Working with engineers of the plant construction company and the war department, Jewett has been testing on matters of ground-water supplies and geological problems involved in actual construction activities to determine the exact area and water requirements of the ordnance plant.
State and federal geological surveys have been actively engaged in supplying information and making investigations for several national defense plants and proposed plant sites in Kansas.
Owens To Discuss Folklore Tomorrow
Folkore and folk songs of the American southwest will be discussed tomorrow afternoon by W. A. Owens, professor of English at Texas A. and M., in Fraser theater at 4:30. Professor Owen's lecture will be illustrated with recordings made by him on field trips through Texas and Louisiana.
Professor Owens is an authority on white and Negro folk songs of the Southwest, and has a library of over 600 recordings made by hill persons, cotton workers, the "Cajuns" of Louisiana, and other cultural groups. Last year he was head of the bureau of folklore at Texas A. and M., and he is coming to Lawrence from a meeting of the American Folksong congress at Murrayville, Ky.
The lecture is under the auspices of the University department of English. The public is invited.
Quill Club Magazine Goes On Sale Monday
"Feoh," the Quill Club's yearly magazine, went to press this morning, and will probably be on sale Monday. Selling booths will be located in Fraser hall, the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, the Memorial Union building, and copies may be purchased from club members.
The 40-page magazine, which will sell for 25 cents, contains original fiction and poetry by students and a few faculty contributions. The cover design, a red circle on gray ripple finish stock, is the work of Dorothy May Wiggins.
Ball Game Results In Injury
Don Keplinger, business junior and a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, injured his left elbow and the cartilage on his left knee while playing intramural baseball Tuesday afternoon.
He was released from Watkins Memorial hospital yesterday, but will have to resort to crutches for several weeks.
Needle Hunt Profitable To Professor
Norman, Okla. (UP) — Prof. William Schriever of the University of Oklahoma physics department, is a proved needle-in-the-haystack finder.
He guarantees his work, with one provision—the needle must be platinum, containing radium. Doctors use such needles in their profession, and they are worth upwards of $500.
The professor will tell you about the time he found two such needles in the vast Oklahoma City trash dump. The procedure is simple- if you are a professor of physics.
You see, radium is a radioactive element which disintegrates spontaneously giving off alpha, beta, and gamma rays. The gamma rays ionize the air, and there lies the secret of the success of Prof. Schriever's needle hunting.
The professor took an electroscope to the dump and began a tour, watching the instrument for traces of electricity. Soon he had the locality of the needles narrowed down to a 5-foot area.
Then the professor began to dig, putting the trash into baskets. With the electroscope he examined each basket and found the one containing the radium. The contents of the basket were then divided into smaller and smaller amounts until finally Prof. Schriever held a handful of dirt. There were the needles.
Prof. Schriever will also tell you of 12 other hunts in which he recovered $11,000 worth of radium needles.
Honorary Fraternity Initiates Tuesday
Psi Chi, honorary psychology fraternity, held its annual initiation banquet Tuesday evening. A banquet was held in the University Club room in the Memorial Union building, at 6 o'clock, followed by the initiation in Frank Strong hall at 7:30.

Geologists Assemble To Hear Speeches On Crinoid Fossils

1,000,000 Years Old--came next. If Director Karl Kuersteiner, professor of violin and orchestra, had any fears concerning the ability of the orchestra to play such a difficult number, they must have died an early death. This writer is not alone in believing that the orchestra did its best work on this piece, for numerous people in the audience were heard to comment that they, too, thought it outstanding on the evening's program.
Kansas Fossil Plants Now Displayed in Dyche
BY CLARA LEE OXLEY
Five thousand specimens of 80 types of fossil plants of the Cretaceous period, which was about a million years ago, discovered in Ellsworth, Cloud, Ottawa, and Lincoln counties are now being classified in Dyche museum. Because of lack of space only three types are now on exhibit in case 42 on the first floor of the museum.
About 360 different plants are known to have existed in the tropical and sub-tropical conditions during this period. None of these plants is living today but most of them are the originals
Already classified are specimens of ferns, cycads, five conifers, and one sequia, such as are now living in California. Included in these types are fossils of Jack-in-the-pulpit, green briar, one plant from the pineapple family, willows, beach, bayberry, walnuts, 28 kinds of sycamore, mulberries, 27 kinds of spice woods, and sassafras, persimmon, dogwood, witch hazel, ginseng, senna, 22 kinds of magnolias, and six kinds of holly.
Nothing is known of the animal life in the great forest which covered Kansas during this period. Large dinosaurs, 'possums, and shrew-like mammals lived on the edges of the forest and large birds and flying reptiles lived on the shores of the sea.
Discuss Post-War Period Over KFKU
Post-war reorganization was the subject of a discussion last night from 8:30 to 9 o'clock over KFKU. Participating in the discussion were Fred Eberhardt, college senior; John Waggoner, college junior; and Grier Stewart, college senior. Hilden Gibson, assistant professor of political science and sociology, acted as moderator.
In the discussion, Stewart insisted that after the war Britain and the United States must be prepared to police the world with their military power, assuming that the United Nations would win the war.
Waggoner, however, could not agree with Stewart. He expressed the view that some sort of increased political unity among the nations is necessary, but would not be specific about what this type of unity might be. Eberhardt agreed with Waggoner's view, and added that fundamental internal economic reorganization, in most of the nations, would be needed also.

Fifteen students submitted entries in the William Herbert Carruth memorial poetry contest before the deadline Monday, according to W. S. Johnson, professor of English.
The contest was open to all resident students regularly enrolled in the University.

Typewritten copies of the poems were entered in the Chancellor's office. A first prize of $60 will be given for the best poem submitted. Second prize will be $40, and third prize, $20. A volume of poetry will be presented to each contestant receiving honorable mention.
Winners will be announced as soon as all the poems have been considered by the judges, Robinson Jeffers, modern American poet, Ray Miller, graduate of the University and former winner of the contest, and one member of the department of English.

The choir and orchestra again took off on the melody, handing it back to Miss Hammett for a few bars, and then the whole group joined in for the finale, with Jones and the piano polishing it off. Clarence Peterson, director of the choir, did a commendable job in arranging the "Blues" for the choir and orchestra.
With accompanist Merrill Jones, fine arts junior, coaxing those blue chords from the piano, the famous "I hate to see that evenin' sun go down—" number began. With the choir and orchestra background tenor John Cole, sophomore engineer, and soprano June Hammett fine arts junior, soloed at the beginning of the song, and returned it to the choir after "blueing" it around a while. Miriam Bartlett, college senior, picked it up after a bit and told the folks how she'd got those St Louis blues, getting some real kicks into it with a lowdown dusky voice effect in the style which Mademoiselle Dinah Shore follows so well.

The trumpet section had a little trouble when the lighting caused a blackout of their music, and at times the orchestra outweighed the choir (perhaps because of the poor acoustics of the auditorium), but it was good listening. Joanne Johnson's solo was one of the best harp-swingings this reporter has heard for some time, the only objection being that it wasn't longer.

Speaks to AICE On Magnesium War Use
E. E. Brush, assoc. prof. of aeronautical engineering, spoke last night at a meeting of the AICE in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building on the subject of utilizing magnesium alloys in the aircraft industry.
Brush made a brief comparison of the progress of Germany and the United States in the use of magnesium alloys for aircraft production. Germany has done considerable work along this line whereas the United States production is limited in that it lacks forge making equipment.
Sheet magnesium alloy is highly inflammable and for that reason many companies here discourage the use of it in aircraft production. Brush pointed out however, that the inflammable qualities of magnesium alloy had been greatly over-emphasized.
A short business meeting was held after Brush's address. Plans for a spring picnic were discussed.
Laboratories of the University of Pittsburgh are being utilized for teaching of industrial x-ray technique to defense workers.
soon as enough applications have been received to hold the auditions.
All types of entertainers are encouraged to apply. Already signed up are the Modern Choir; a quartet led by Sidney Dawson with Fred Utley as pianist; and Vic Miller's quartet.
The possibility of an all-University review, presented annually or semi-annually, is being considered by the committee.

Shane, Allen Are Honor Men
Double Award Made Only Once in the Past
Presson S. Shane and Robert E. Allen were named as "Honor Men of 1941" at the nineteenth honors convocation this morning in Hoch auditorium. Only once before has a double award been made, that being in 1938.
Before announcing the names, Chancellor Deane W. Malott explained that the committee, in considering the candidates for award, had found these two equally deserving. Because
each proved himself outstanding by his qualities of leadership, scholarship, character, and service to the University in a different field, the committee decided, since no distinction could be made, to make the double award.
Shane, a graduate from the School of Engineering with the de- tree of bachelor of science in chemical engineering, is now a second lieutenant in the coast artillery school at Fort Monroe, Va. Holder of a Summerfield scholarship, he was a member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternities, Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholastic fraternity, and Sachem, senior men's honor society.
Allen, son of Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, was graduated from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in the degree of bachelor of science in chemistry. Besides his scholastic achievements, he was an outstanding athlete. Indeed, many consider him one of the greatest basketball players the University has had. A member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sachem, Allen is now studying medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
24 Seniors Elected To Phi Beta Kappa
Twenty-four graduating seniors, 8 men and 16 women, in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences were elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholastic fraternity, yesterday. Announcement of the elections was made at the annual Honors Convocation in Hoch auditorium this morning.
This was the second of three elections, with one yet to be held in June. Ten members were chosen last fall.
The students selected were: Frances Butterfield, Iola; Letha Curtis, Hutchinson; Mary Elizabeth Evans, Newton; Janice Gartrell, Osawatomie; Emmett Hook, Kansas City, Mo.; Helen Houston, Kansas City; Warren Lower, Ottawa; Ruth Mason, Lawrence; Hugh Mathewson, Topeka; Jessie McClune, Michigan Valley; Pauline Miller, Kincaid; Andrew Mitchell, Lawrence; Marcia Molby, Salina; Don Mosser, Wichita

After these visits the students were taken to the top of Fraser hall for a bird's eye view of the campus and the country surrounding Lawrence.
For those who did not wish to attend the relays this afternoon a program was held in Fraser theater at 1:30. At the program two movie films were shown to the group and George Rhoades, baton twirler and student at the University, gave a twirling exhibition.
The visiting senior girls were entertained at a tea at the home management house at 2:40. At 4:30 a musical program featuring Eugene Nininger, fine arts freshman, and Ruth Oreutt, associate professor of piano, in violin and piano numbers was presented.

Farrell Lists Eight Points For Scholars
President F. D. Farrell of Kansas State College shared the spotlight on the Honors Convocation held this morning in Hoch auditorium. More than 175 students were recognized for their high scholarship, leadership, and character.
After the opening "Star Spangled Banner," Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced the members elected to Mortar Board, senior women's honor society; Sachem, senior men's honor society; and Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary society in music.
The Phi Sigma award in the form of a medal to be presented at a Phi Sigma dined by the national society of Phi Sigma, was given George Rinker, college junior. Omicron Nu, home economics society, announced the membership of Edna Greenwell, college senior.
The Chancellor also named the new membership in Phi Beta Kappa, national honor society in liberal arts and sciences, and awarded the "Honor Men of 1941" positions to Bob Allen and Presson Shane.
After the University band's presentation of the "Skyliner March," which began and ended with an effective airplane zoom, the speaker was presented by Mr. Fred M. Harris, chairman of the state board of regents.
President Farrell stated that every youth operates under a code of conduct to which absolute obedience is necessary. This code, a powerful thing, is not written, not always spoken, but is understood. Even honor among thieves is necessary, or they could not operate effectively.

More Milk With Radio Music
San Jose, Cal. — (UP) — By providing cows with music during the milking hour, Eddie Berryessa is convinced the nation can meet its goal of 125,000,000 pounds of milk for 1942. With a radio in the milking barns, his 180 cows have increased their production 30 gallons daily.
Stockton Discusses Planned Economy
That we are rapidly developing planned economy, and that we will be living under such a system for year was the view expressed by Frank T Stockton, dean of the School of Business, last night at the World at We lecture in Fraser theater.
Speaking on "Problems of American War Economy," Stockton outlined the program now in effect, and explained its purpose. To put the nation's production on a war footing, is necessary to convert much of the manufacturing now devoted to civilian needs to turning out war supplies. He discussed the problems of increasing plant capacity, meeting demand for machine tools, how to meet civilian needs, and the problems arising over labor.

FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1942
FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Game notes: Yesterday's play proved but one thing so far as the Jayhawk baseball team is concerned —Kansas has the best team, both at the plate and in the field, that has done business at Mt. Oread in the last three or four years. . . Each team yesterday made one earned run, but Kansas weakened just once long enough in the seventh to allow the soldiers to push across the deciding edge. . . It is a shame that the Jayhawk baseball schedule was curtailed this year just when Kansas has a team which should compare favorably with any in the Big Six—even Oklahoma's bunch of pseudo-amateurs. . .
homa's bunch of pseudo miniatures. . . "Phog" Allen's boys showed both the ability and the desire to win yesterday. They outhit, outfielded and outplayed the Ft. Leavenworth clut the entire nine innings. John Krum Del Green, Marshall Hulett put on a fine display of air-tight defense for the Kansas infield. ... When Jayhawk prospects were bright in the early innings of the game, Bob Atwell expressed the sentiments of the whole Kansas rooting section with "We look like a major league club, so help me! Let's go!" During one of Kansas' rallies catcher Hodges was irked by the fact that some Jayhawk bats were laying with their handles crossed (an unlucky sign, he said), but by the time he had relictified the situation, the Jayhawk threat had gone cold. . . . Del Green faded back to the outfield to catch a hard hit fly to retire the soldiers in the third inning; he climaxed his catch with a back flip in which he spiked Dean Martin. . . . It seems Del was covering more than his territory when he collided with Dean. Up popped "Phog" with "Yell louder, yell louder! (Man taking a fly in border territory is supposed to call for it). . . . It was just like old home week for Kansas' hurler "Knute" Kresie, yesterday when he faced Warren Kustenborder and Willis Seal who were his teammates in semi-pro ball at Topeka, and Ralph Houk who caught Kresie on the championship Lawrence B.J. club of 1938. . . While Knute was keeping the soldier nine of Leavenworth well occupied with his pitches, his young brother, Bryce (who will enroll at the University next fall) was hurling a no hit, no run game for Auburn high. Young Kresie was good for three hits in four tries of his no hitter. . . . On the service club's side of the ledger: No cleaner, better bunch of sports than Ft. Leavenworth ever played at Kansas. Arguments and near fights are usually on of the spiciest bits of the game when the Jayhawk host another college team, but yesterday's contest went according to Hoyle from the umpire's point of view. . . Only once did the ump meet opposition when big "Red" Knoblach rushed in from second to protest a close decision. On reconsidering, Red dropped a few friendly words, returned to second and the game rolled smoothly on. . . It was no secret that the Fort nine wasn't in condition. They had little trouble in chasing flies, but grounders were just too much trouble for the infield to bend down to get; the result: five errors for the soldiers. . . . Both teams boasted first class batteries for the

Soldier Nine Nips Kansas 3-1
Soldier Nine N Seventh Inning Errors Decide Jayhawk's Opener
By ALAN B. HOUGHTON, Kansan Sports Editor
Two errors, a walk, and a two-base hit were enough for Ft. Leavenworth's soldier nine to push across two tallies in the sixth inning of a tight, clean cut ball game and enabled them to shade the Jayhawk batsmen 3-1 on the Kansas diamond yesterday.
With the score deadlocked 0-0 in the first half of the sixth inning, Oadis Swigart, soldier mound ace who hurls right handed but bats from the port side, started fireworks for the Fort nine by reaching first via while Swigart the error route.
Carl Pitcher, another left hander, reached first on an error, and diminutive Willie Seal drew the only pass issued the soldiers to fill the bases.
Price Fugit, poiled out a long base hit to send Swigart and Seal scampering home. Knute Kresie, Jayhawk hurler knuckled down to make the next man fly out and fanned the last to retire the side.
Krum Scores for Kansas
John Krum opened Kansas' half of the sixth with a sizzling two base hit. Kresie advanced Krum to third on a single. He came home on a fielder's choice of T. P. Hunter, lanky Jayhawk initial sacker, which clipped Kresie at second. Next batter hit into a double play—Seal to Charley Knoblach to Warren Custenborder—to squelch the Kansas flurry.
Leavenworth's final counter came in the seventh stanza when Ralph Houk, soldier catcher who got his start in Lawrence B.J. ball, blasted a single over second and was brought home on a double by Marty Krpan. Kresie struck out two of the next three batters with the other being thrown out at first.
Knas threatened in the last half of the second inning with B. Innis and Marshall Hulett leading off with singles. Dean Martin followed with a nicely laid bunt which naked bipped Innis at third. Del Green singled, putting Hulett on third, but the next two Kansas batters flew out.
Coach Allen's Jayhawkers had the better of everything but the score in this game which was the initial contest for both clubs. Kresie went the route for the Jayhawks with Swigart hurling the entire game for the soldiers. There were no changes in Leavenworth's line up for the nine innings; Allen substituted freely for Kansas in the waning stanzas.
In a mound duel Kansas' Kresie shaded the service team's Swigart, who has had duty with the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League, Kresie whiffed nine batters, gave up six hits
while Swigart sent six men down on strikes and was nicked for 10 hits. Each hurler issued one bas on balls.
Defensively, Kansas' infield displayed sparkling fielding and snappy throwing. High point of the infield's performance was the seventh inning double play, Krum to Green to Hunter. With grounders rolling through the second base area, the soldier team showed lack of practice and team coordination.
Every man on the starting line up for Kansas got one hit, excepting Innis who garnered two safeties in three trips to the plate. Houk welldied the heavy stick at the plate for Leavenworth, getting two out of four.

Frosh Coaches Swim As Scrimmage Ends
BY JACK WERTS And JIM MARTIN
Spring football practice splashed to an end today when coaches Wayne Replogle, Ed Hall and Hub Ulrich were thrown into Potters lake following a rough and tumble scrimmage which lasted for an hour and a half.
Today was the last day of a six weeks' spring practice. The usual weekly scrimmage game was held between the Reds and the Blues with the score stand- $ ^{\textcircled{4}} $
the Blues with the score standing 7 to 7 at the end of the game.
The Reds depended on a mixed attack of passes and off-tackle smashes while the Blues had best luck on a series of running plays with occasional areal offensive. It was one of these occasional passes that scored for the Blue team when John Conley passed to Paul Turner who ran 25 yards to a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Don Johnson kicked the extra point.
The Reds scored early in the game. In the first quarter Gene Roberts, back, slithered through the line on an off tackle play to the left and ran 30 yards for a counter. The extra point was accounted for in a pass from Kenny Thompson to Paul Hardman.
Summary: Bases on balls off Kresie —1, off Swigart—1; Struck out by Kresie—9; by Swigart—6; Two base hits, Krum and Krpan; Double plays: Krum to Green to Hunter; Seal to Knoblach to Custenborder .
Both teams threatened several times throughout the game but were unable to score more than one touchdown apiece. Jack Tenenbaum, tackle, and letterman, has shown good progress all through the season, especially in defensive play.
He and Gene "Chief" Long, goes repeatedly crashed through to break up the Blue's running plays.
Paul Hardman and Otto Schnellbacher, the two ends for the Reds, drove numerous plays to the inside and spilled opposing backs for losses
Bob Githens, letterman and center for the Reds, played well offensively and defensively. His passes from center have been consistently accurate all sprin gand today was no exception. He spent the afternoon in spilling ball carriers who reached the secondary where he was backing up the line.
Kenny Thompson, back, for the Reds, was a good field general in selecting plays that clicked continually for the Red team and in spotting the weaknesses of the Blue team. With

I-M Softball Race Into High Gear
BY PAUL MOSER
The intramural games played last night resulted in victories for the Delt's, Beta's, Sig Alph's, Jollife Hall, A.T.O.'s, I.R.G.'s, Carruth Hall, Theta Tau's, Pflugerville Pflashes, and Phi Delt'. From now on the race will settle down to a steady fight between the two or three top teams in each division.
With Hoyt Baker limiting the Phi Psi's to seven well-scattered hits, the Delt's had little trouble in running over their opposition 8 to 1 in one of the best played games so far this year.
In the first inning the Delt hitters jumped on Milt Allen, Phi Psi pitcher, for four runs, to leave little doubt about the outcome of the game. The Delt's mixed eleven hits and four walks to produce all of their runs. Dick Learnomonth led the Delt's at the plate, getting three for three, while Man Kissell led the losers with two for three.
The box:
Phi Psi    .000 001 0
Delt     400 013 x
Batteries: Phi Psi, Allen and Carpenter; Delt, Baker and Roberts.
In a tight pitchers' battle between Victor and Vance Hall the Beta's emerged the winners by a 4 to 3 margin. Although outhit, ten blows to six, the Beta's took advantage of Rink's wildness to work him for seven walks and several wild pitches. Bob O'Neil led the Beta's, getting one hit in two official trips to the plate and Oliver Edwards led the losers with two hits in three trips to the plate.
The box:
Alpha Chi ... 102 000 0
Beta ... 011 200 x
Batteries; Alpha Chi, Rink and
Cree; Beta, Hall and O'Neil.
The Sig Alph's served notice that they would be in the thick of the fight all the way by defeating the Newman Club, 8 to 0. Bill Walton was on the mound for the Alph's and permitted the Newman boys only three safeties and one walk. In the meantime his mates were jumping on Ralph Shapley for ten hits and three walks. John Gage led the winners with three hits in three times up and Bob Bell led the losers with two hits in three times at bat.
The box:
Newman Club .000 000 0
Sig Alph .030 203 x
Batteries: Newman, Shapley and Kornowski; Sig Alph, Walton and Williams.
For the first four innings Jolliffe Hall and Jayhawk Co-op were hooked up in a tight ball game, but then in the fifth inning the boys from Jolliffe Hall exploded to push over four runs. They scored seven more in the sixth to turn the game into a rout. Bob Sparling hurled for Jolliffe, permitting only seven hits. John La Pinto hurled for the losers.
The box:
Jolliffe ... 100 047 0
Jayhawk ... 001 000 1
Batteries: Jolliffe, Sparling and Boots; Jayhawk, La Pinto and Dunham.
With George Robb holding the Sigma Nu's to seven hits, the A.T.O.'s won, 9 to 3. Warren Israel pitched for the losers, giving up seventeen hits and four walks. Fred Coulson and Mark McLain led the

In a very poorly played game the I.R.G. team defeated the John Moore Co-op, 15 to 4. Tom Myer hurled well for the I.R.G. team, giving only three hits, but poor support from his mates gave the Co-op boys one unearned runs. Tom Doley led the I.R.G. team getting three hits in four times at bat, while Don Germann led the losers with two hits in three times at bat,

Batteries: Carruth, Nunemaker and Banks; K.E.K., Moody and McKale.

Theta Tau ... 021 030 0

Batteries: Theta Tau, Domingo and La Croix; Battenfeld, Hays and Lowen.
Francis Domingo and Leonard Hays had a tight pitchers' battle with Domingo and the Theta Tau's winning from Battenfeld Hall, 6 to 5. Hays gave up twelve hits but clever fielding by his mates and being tight in the clinches kept Battenfeld in the ball game. Domingo gave only five hits but walked 13 men. Ted Moser led the hitting with two hits in three times up, while Jim Mills led the losers with one hit in one official trip to the plate.
Once again the ability of the Pflugerville Pflashes to come through in the clutches told the story as they defeated the Kappa Sig's, 7 to 2. Using only ten hits and one walk the Pflashes made use of every break of the game. Charles Liebermann hurled for the Pflashes, permitting only eight hits and giving no walks. John Pfitsch, manager of the Pflashes, led his club's hitting, getting two for three, one a

Louis R. Fockele, '39, a graduate of the department of journalism, is now receiving base training at Notre Dame before entering a naval officer training school as a candidate for ensign.
Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, announced today that the second rounds of the tennis and archery tournaments must be played off by April 25. Miss Hoover also said that the deadline for handing in qualifying golf scores has been set at April 25. If by that time the number of scores turned in is still insufficient, the golf tournament will be discontinued.
Fockele, '39, Enters Officers Training At Notre Dame Base
Last year he was in the army stationed at Ft. Bragg, N. C., and was later assigned to the 192nd field artillery. He received his discharge in order to enlist under V-7 in the naval reserve. While awaiting his call to the navy, he held the position of advertising manager for the DeLand (Fla.) Sun-News. He was visiting his home in LeRoy when he received his assignment to the naval training school.

afternoon. Kresie and Oadis Swigart did masterful jobs of hurling. It was evident by his relaxed, easy delivery that Swigart had big league training, whereas it took more effort on the part of Kresie to get the same results. . . . Houk didn't leave much to the imagination as to why he was to have played with the Kansas City Blues before the army called. He was fast behind the plate, going clear behind first one time to retrieve a foul; his peg to second was lightening fast and his batting was the class of the soldier club. . . . Hodges, while only a sophomore caught like a veteran, he has a good arm, needs only practice to perfect his throws. At bat he displayed ability to hit by pushing blows deep into the outfield.

Thompson, teamed with Gene Roberts, flashy ball handler and broken field runner, contributed to his team's success.
Line play was outstanding on the Blue team with Pete Passman and Grier Zimmerman, ends, rushing the Red offense and getting in their hair all afternoon.
Junius Penny, center, analyzed plays with almost a sixth sense in playing his position as line backer and handled the ball from center position with dexterity.
After the successful scrimmage the colorful tradition of throwing freshman coaches Replogle, Hall and Ulrich into Potter's lake was carried out.
The combination of John Conley, Bill Palmer, John Herron and Kenneth Adams clicked smoothly in running plays and in completing passes. John Conley pitched several passes for long gains including one that paid off six points.
Some of the squad members got unexpectedly damp during the procedure. The men made the fatal mistake of not throwing all of the coaches in the lake at the same time. The result was that while team members were taking care of pitching Ed Hall in the drink, Replogle and Ulrich pushed and pulled unsuspecting players into the water.
All coach Replogle had to comment after the ceremony was "They're the swellest bunch in the world. There're no others like them."

The KANSAN Comments...
Politics in Local Defense
With the organization of the CVC—Civilian Volunteer Corps —among the women of the University, the defense effort now reaches all persons in the school community.
The usefulness of this organization cannot be questioned. Its value to the University defense effort cannot be doubted. Its success through the next few years is not solely dependent on its value. The persons who lead this program are responsible in a large part for its success.
To be successful after the novelty of the military program has worn off, it must not be representative only of a combine of women. It is regrettable that a semi-organized group of University women controlled, apparently, the organization meeting yesterday. The problem must be solved by the women concerned. Which do they value the most—the west campus combine or the Civilian Defense Corps?
Combines have their purpose during election time. They are not admired when they operate at the expense of an all-University program.
The University of Kansas now has a three-term school year, instituted as a defense measure but as yet, soldiers are not sleeping in the corridors of Frank Strong hall. In the Los Angeles public schools, cots are provided the service men who have just de-embarked. The men sleep in the schools at night and leave before class the next morning. K.U. students don't yet have to step over sleeping soldiers on their way to 8:30 classes—but you never know.
Shortened Sweets
This month brings Americans face to face with the results of the government's policy concerning tariff on sugar. No sugar will be sold in the United States the week of April 27. Thereafter sugar will be retailed upon presentation of coupons from sugar rationing books, the Office of Price Administration has announced.
Mr. Average American will in the future be allocated one-half, perhaps three-fourths, a pound of sweetening per week. Whereas this country consumed or stored 7,900,000 tons of sugar last year, this year there will be only 5,600,000 tons available, because Japan has blocked our supply from the Philippines.
The United States has depended upon importation for two-thirds of its sugar supply; fifteen per cent of America's sucrose was carried 7,000 miles across the Pacific from the Philippines by ship when Cuba,200 miles distant, could have supplied our needs. But our government played favorites, giving reductions to our insular possessions, in formulating its tariff and quota policy on sugar.
Consequently, Cuban production possibilities for sugar cane were never exploited; there was no good market in the United States, thanks to high tariff and low sugar quotas. In 1925 Cuba produced 6,000,000 tons of sugar, 2,000,000 of which were shipped to this country. In 1942 it is estimated that Cuba will be able to send the United States 3,800,000 tons of sugar, but 1,500,000 of this must be re-shipped to our Allies under Lease-Lend agreements.
Explosives, an integral part of our war effort, call for great quantities of alcohol, which is derived from sugar. Alcohol can be rendered
from sugar processed from home-grown sugar beets, but such alcohol is inferior to that produced from cane sugar. The explosive industries are scheduled to absorb 800,000 tons of sugar—most of it cane—this year.
To Cuba falls much of the task of supplying 130 million Americans with sugar for their breakfast food, their guns, and their bombs. Because our government failed to realize the potentialities of Cuban sugar production till it was almost too late, it seems that sugar—like so many other items in the Allied war effort so far—will be too little.
Had we given Cuba parity with the Philippines on sugar quotas and tariff, she would today have a sugar growing industry well enough developed to satiate America's wants. As it is, our stock of sugar is sweet, but short.

You Said It
To the Editor:
I have followed with increasing animosity your articles purporting to favor the holding of "Dandelion Day."
The idea in itself has merit, there is no doubt; but—to let you in on a great secret, of which I am not at all sure you are aware—the United States is at war. In consequence of this, students of Kansas University have given up many pleasures which we would otherwise enjoy.
To enumerate a few: Easter vacation has been abolished, in the end that the school year will be speeded up; a year 'round program has been inaugurated by the faculty as an aid to speeding up the educational process; students are saving paper, metal foil, and other war essentials; joy-riding in the old jalopies is being cut down because of the rubber shortage; funds have been started by numerous Hill organizations for war purposes.
The resources of the nation are turned toward one principal objective: win this war! I ask but one question: what do the Japs care about the dandelions on the campus of the University of Kansas?
I am here to get an education—and to complete it as soon as possible. There are a few others with the same goal in view. So before you "railroad" this through, why not think it over—clearly.

Fire Warden Charles F. McCreight, also of the College business office, last week missed his one chance in years to put out a fire endangering the Ad building.
A few days before the incident occurred, McCreight stopped in the Alumni Association office to tell Fred Ellsworth, Executive Alumni secretary, that he had just discovered and remedied a flaw in one of the fire extinguishers hanging in the hall. A blod of paint, he explained, had dried over the end of the nozzle of the squirting hose. He had scraped it out. "The extinguisher is all ready to go now," said Warden McCreight on leaving, "All we need now is a fire."
A couple of days later, a small trash fire rampaged at the west end of the Ad building basement, filling the basement with smoke. Jean Robertson, secretary to Ellsworth, hastily called McCreight and informed him of the blaze. McCreight wouldn't believe her at first she so had to convince him on her honor as a Theta there was honestly and no kidding a fire for him.
The Fire Warden sped to the scene of the fire—just in time to witness a janitor putting the finishing touches on the guelling of it.
Rumor has it that a couple of tears trickled down McCreight's face as he viewed the mess the janitor had made of the fire that rightfully belonged to him.
Cecilia Goncalves, special college student from Brazil, Alpha Chi Omega, and prize protege of Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, advisor of women, was seated at the side of Miss Meguiar at the Alpha Chi faculty dinner last Tuesday night. Miss Goncalves suddenly expressed herself with a passionate, "Oh, darn it!"
Covering her mouth quickly with her hand, Miss Goncalves peered out of the corner of her eyes at Miss Meguiar.
The adviser of women was seemingly unaware of the profanity of the term and paid no attention. Miss Gonalves smiled and was seen to mentally mark down "one more American expression I must use more often."
Threats are floating around the Theta house to expose the identity of the group of freshmen who belong to the "Eberhardt club." The society was formed, as was mentioned Tuesday, when several Theta freshmen declared their secret passions for Beta, Fred Eberhardt.
Meanwhile, the whole thing continues to embarrass the Eberhardt fellow.
Speech Students Discuss Inter-American Affairs
With the objective of improving Pan-American relations, the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs is currently sponsoring a national extempore-discussion contest among the colleges and universities of the United States. This contest is proposed with the object of enlisting our institutions of higher learning in a nation-wide, cooperative endeavor to interest thousands of students in a study of inter-American affairs, to inform the general public concerning relations in this field, and to formulate solutions for ex-?

Alligators! In Snow Hall Basement
By RALPH DAGENAIS
If you've never seen a genuine, living alligator, and if you would like to see a genuine, living alligator, just meander over to Snow hall, go down to the basement and ask someone to show you Dr. Taylor's alligators. He will show you a huge tank occupied by eight or ten Mississippi ensis alligators.
The alligators probably were residents of the state of Florida until they migrated to the campus (under compulsion) about a year ago. Glenn C. Bond, assistant professor of bacteriology, used the alligators in his study of the blood of reptiles. Dr. E. H. Taylor, professor of zoology, became new owner of the creatures about a month ago when Bond presented them to him as a gift.
A fifth of a pound of raw meat once a week seems to satisfy the reptiles' appetites. Although most of the alligators are quite ready to be fed at their weekly mealtime, a few of them become extremely obstinate at the prospect of food and are fed by placing the chunk of meat on the end of a stick, then forcing it down their throats. Taylor's pets are now about three years old.
The alligators are used by students enrolled in comparative anatomy for the study of reptile forms. Certain specially selected ones are given the honor of being dissected for the sake of science.
Former K.U. Students To Get "Wings" Soon At Stockton Field
With their training soon to be completed, three aviation cadets, who are former students of the University of Kansas, are to be graduated from the Air Corps Advanced Flying School at Stockton Field, Cal.
John R. Fowler, Lindley M. Hines,
and Leon R. Pierson, all students
here last year, upon graduation from
Stockton Field will be commissioned
second lieutenants in the Air Corps
Reserve and will be given the silver
wings symbolic of the aeronautical
rating of pilot. They will be placed
in active duty in their new rank with the Army air forces.
Before entering the final and advanced course at Stockton Field these cadets completed 20 weeks of primary and basic training at Thunderbird Field, Glendale, Ariz., and Minter Field, Bakersfield, Cal.
Civil Service Jobs Open For Qualified Applicants
The United States civil service commission has announced five new examinations for war service appointment. Applicants are particularly desired in public administration, business analysis, economics, home economics, library service, design specifications, estimating, mathematics, student nursing, architecture, stenography, and typing.
Full information as to requirements and application forms may be obtained from the downtown post office.
SPEECH STUDENTS---automatically qualified to enter one of the six or seven regional conferences.

The two students adjudged superior in each of the district discussions
The winner in each regional contest thereby becomes a delegate to the National Intercollegiate Conference on Inter-American affairs in Washington, D.C., with all expenses paid. According to present plans, delegates who participate in the National Conference will make a specially conducted tour of South America in the summer of 1942.
The University of Kansas department of speech was represented in this contest up to the finals of the regional contest held in Kansas City last Monday and Tuesday by Merrill Peterson, college junior, who placed second in the finals Tuesday night.
Each contest was divided into two parts, the first consisting of a number of roundtables and public speeches during the afternoon and an extempore-discussion forum in the evening.
Each roundtable discussion was conducted upon the general theme of implementing the Good Neighbor policy and promoting cooperation and friendship among the Pan-American nations.
For each round table discussion, the problem was divided into an analysis and a solution phase. The analysis phase included discussions of the origin and elements of the good neighbor policy, the economic factors involved and the racial and cultural aspects.

Zilch Filches U-Boat Safe in Rio
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, April 17.—Special to the Daily Kansan.-The streets of this colorful South American city have been jammed with milling, jubilant citizenry since 11:30 last night when Elmer A. Zilch, the Passion Flower of journalism, arrived in the harbor last night in a submarine (reportedly filched from port authorities at Dakar, West Africa, where Zilch was last
reported) manned by 20 swarthy natives of the Basie tribe.
Watchers on Sugar Loaf mountain, towering rock in Rio Harbor, sounded a general alarm when the submarine was first sighted, but upon seeing the Zilch coat of arms—type louse rampant on a field of galley proofs—they rushed the glad tidings of great joy to the populace of Rio.
Zileh is Shaken
The word spread like wildfire. Giant conga lines were formed. Zilch was rushed to the capitol building in a special limousine while dark-keyed, shapely Rio belles strewed orchids in his path. A special session of the Brazilian congress was assembled, and President Getulio Vargas gave a ringing speech of welcome to the battle-scarred journalist. Zilch, visibly shaken by the ovation, could scarcely find words to express himself, and in a husky voice mumbled, "What the ?Xl@"
Nobody went to bed last night in Rio de Janeiro. Wine flowed freely, storekeepers flung open their doors, and native orchestras filled the cool air with music melodious until the wine ran out, then the music ceased being melodious. Never has South America known such a night.
Zilch, a prohibitionist from way back, is said to have frowned on the drinking, but after a few glasses of fine Portuguese wine were forced on him by city officials, he adopted a more tolerant attitude and sighed, "Oh. well."
Early this morning, crack mechanics swarmed over the travelworn submarine in an attempt to have the ship in **A-1** condition for Zilch's last sea leg. Rio to New Orleans. Zilch is expected to arrive in the Crescent City sometime Saturday, and the Kansan will be on the alert for a late flash to be printed in the Sunday issue.
Albany, N.Y. — (UP) — After walking off 67 pounds, State Senator Phelps is in the army. Overweight, the senator was rejected last summer. He began walking six to eight miles daily to reduce. He "came in" at 189.

Emphasis will be placed on personality as well as scholastic ability. Professor Turney pointed out.
The Office of Education will go over the records of each student every semester to determine irregularities and to eliminate the possibility of a student's failing to be graduated at the last minute because, of requirements not filled.
The program will seek also to check students' teaching combinations, the better to place them in jobs. Most of the prospective teachers will be required to teach three subjects when they receive an appointment, and the committee intends to make sure that those three subjects are best suited to the abilities of the individual teacher.
FARRELL LISTS-obligations. Scholars have high rank and entail obligations.
(continued from page one)
or just a motto. One of the most famous mottoes, and the one that President Farrell advocates for scholars, is "Noblesse oblige," the two-word rule of the old French aristocracy—that nobleness entails
Emphasizing eight special obligations which rest on every scholar, President Farrell named first the gratitude to the institution in which the scholarship of the student was developed. The University of Kansas, the president of Kansas State College said, has been a sanctuary for learning for over 75 years. Students should always be loyal and grateful to it.
Unsurwerving devotion to truth is a second obligation of the student. A scholar's value to society and to his own self-respect is based primarily on honesty and intellectual and spiritual integrity. A third obligation is the courageous championship of the freedom to learning and the freedom to teach.
Have an open mind, advocates President Farrell in his fourth obligation. This does not mean that students may not have opinions and principles, but one of the hazards of scholarship is that the individual sometimes assumes that he has the last word in certain lines of knowledge.
Examples of this intellectual bias were the opposition given Pasteur by the leading doctors of his day, and the fight of Lord Kelvin and Thomas A. Edison, leading specialists in electricity, against the adoption of alternating current.
The fifth obligation is to always look to the future but never to lose respect for the past. The past is filled with valuable information and wisdom. Some feel that because things are new to us, they are really new. Co-education was thought to be introduced first at Oberlin college in 1830, but in 450 B.C. Pythagoras operated a co-educational

Recognizing the relativity of morals and at the same time having a decent respect for the opinions of mankind is the essential seventh obligation. Morals change with longitude and time, President Farrell remarked.
The obligation to accept responsibility, even if it is unpleasant, the eighth and last obligation of the scholar. To live usefully and honorably, that is the supreme obligation of the scholar to society and to himself, President Farrell concluded.

A Cappella Choir In Hoch Monday
Featuring 78 voices in unaccompanied harmony, the annual home concert of the University A Cappella Choir will present numbers varying from classical Bach to Negro folk-songs tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
Dean D. M. Swarthout has placed in the opening group three examples of music from the early 18th century, including "Come Soothing Death" by Bach, the famous "Crucifixus" in six parts by Lotti, and the chorus "All Breathing Life" from Bach's cantata "Sing Vo the
Bach's cantata "Sing Ye the Lord."
The second group of choral numbers contains the chorus from Bortniansky's "Thine is the Greatness," in which the choir is divided into nine separate parts for rich tonal color. This group also includes "Carol of the Bells" by Leontovich, "My Heart is Not Haughty" by Tcherepinn, and closes with the widely-known chorus, "Sunrise" by Tanieff, which after beginning softly to depict the hush before dawn moves forward to a climax of overpowering volume and effectiveness.
Swarthout has included in the third group "Go, Lovely Rose" by Thiman, and "To Be Sung of a Summer Night on the Water" by Frederick Delius, British composer. This is probably the most difficult number on the entire evening's program, Swarthout said, because it is sung without words on the syllable "ah" (continued to page eight)

Hill Gives $100 For Navy Relief
More than $100 has already been contributed by members of the University staff to the local Naval Relief drive which began Thursday, E. C. Buehler, chairman of the K.U. committee, and professor of speech, said today.
The K.U. drive has to raise $200 as its part of the $900 Douglas county quota. The national movement is to provide $5,000,000 for the Naval Relief Society, which takes care of the needs created by deaths in the naval service.
Buehler wants the K.U. drive goal to be reached as quickly as possible, and asks that all contributions be turned in to him immediately.
The purpose of the society is to help the family of sailors killed in the war. It gives help in emergency operations and medical treatment for the family, provides continued aid to dependents who need care, and helps in the education of dependent children.

The World Student Service Fund drive, the only drive in connection with the war effort which is launched entirely by students for the aid of students, will be held on the campus Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week.
Headed by Jim Gillie, college junior, a central committee composed of University students has organized 35 teams with four to ten members each. Members of the teams include representatives from the faculty, organized houses, campus organizations, church organizations, and groups of independent students.
By ALAN B. HOUGHTON, Kansan Sports Editor
Money for the drive is used to send food, clothing, supplies for study in prisons, camps, and universities, medical aid, and material for leisure time leadership to students in the war areas. All funds for Europe are cabled to the European Students Relief fund in Geneva. All relief supplies are obtained in Europe with the exceptio of some books. Money for the strikes is shipped through the War Prisoners Aid of the International Y.M.C.A. by the special prisoner of war mail. This arrangement is provided for under the Geneva convention of 1929 which allows such

For the first time in twenty years the records of the Kansas Relays withstood the onslaught of the cream of college competition before some 5,000 onlookers in Memorial stadium yesterday.
The teams will compete in the program of raising the $800 quota set for the University in the drive to provide needs for Chinese and European students in prison and concentration camps as well as for American refugees in the war. The national goal for the World Student Service Fund organization is $100,-000.

The Prairie View (Texas) Teachers mile relay quartet almost toppled the college relay mark thanks to the anchor lap run by Louis Smith. Smith took the baton with a five yard lead, coasted the first furlong till he was threatened, then blazed
home in high to give his team a 3 minute 17.5 second mile—.1 second short of the Relays record.
Pole vault competition was keen with Harold Hunt, Nebraska, Bill Williams, Wisconsin, and Jack Defield, Minnesota, sharing top honors at 13 feet 5-3-4 inches. A stiff wind which persisted in blowing intermittently prevented the three vaulters' attempts to negotiate 14 feet, although they all came close to scaling that height.
Ralph Tate, crack Oklahoma Ag high hurdler, tripped and fell on the high sticks, which Bud Smith, Nebraska, won, but returned to win the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet $11 \frac{1}{2}$ inches and help the Aggies triumph in the university mile relay in the time of 3 minutes 21.2 seconds.
Boydston Takes High Jump
Don Boydston, ex-Oklahoma Aggie sportswriter, cleared the bar at 6 feet 2 inches—far below his average leap—to win the high jump. Big Elmer Auxissier of Missouri on the shot put with a heave of 49 feet 1 inch. He also placed fourth in the discus behind Minnesota's Bob Fitch, who tossed the platter 158 feet $ \frac{9}{12} $ inches.

Zilch Welcomed
Joy In Crescent City
In New Orleans
New Orleans, La., April 18—(by the Kansan's special leased carrier pigeon service from the Crescent City.) Southern hospitality is undergoing a savage test today as the entire city of New Orleans turns out to welcome Elmer A. Zilch, erstwhile proponent of streamlined journalism. Zilch arrived in the Queen City of the South at exactly 2:30 this afternoon amidst the loud tumult of the anxious $
crowd which had lined the Basin street docks since early dawn today.
The triumphant procession wounded its way down Canal street, stopping for two minutes in silent tribute before the statue of Louisiana journalism's hero of the "Grapes of Wrath,""Fightin' Verdie" Daste.
Today's incidents served to dispel the concern felt the earlier part of the week that Zilch would be unaware to attend the annual dinner in his honor to be held in Lawrence, Kan., Tuesday, April 21. Since leaving Tibet almost two weeks ago, Zilch has had several narrow escapes, the most memorable being his flight from the jungles of Borneo. Abandons Ship
Zilch is planning to abandon his submarine, the "U-Boat 86" for a flatboat with which to venture on the rough and rolling northward river route. It is unknown just when he will be able to make his departure from the back door of the Mississippi, because negotiations are under way for a transfer of the Latin belle he accumulated in Rio for an appreciable quantity of cherry bounce. It is reported (only reported) that current stores of the liquid are rather scarce in the Sunflower state, and the eminent journalist does not to risk being a victim of the shortage during his brief visit there.
Quaint Old South
The grand old man of international journalism will be feted tonight in the Hotel L'Adroncsoncone, oldest established lair of its type in this quaint French city. Being given thought is a proposal to hold future Mardi Gras festivals in April instead of in February so that Zilch might be able to attend. Such a plan might result in a co-celebration in future years of Zilch's return to New Orleans along with the regular Mardi Gras. Eventually the Zilch fete may supplant the Mardi Gras entirely, it is asserted by several persons not too far from a connection with authoritative sources.
A new statue will be dedicated sometime this summer in honor of Zilch, the patron saint of type-lice hunters. It is to be erected where the statue of Andrew Jackson now stands. The present plan is to tear down the sculpture memorializing the sixth President of the United States, and re-melt the iron. This measure was decided upon since priorities have made it impossible to get enough material for building an additional statue.
Date Is Scheduled For Student Play, "Night Must Fall"
The date for the all-student play, "Night Must Fall," has been set for May 4. The play will be presented for one night only in Fraser theater. The play has a student director, student stage managers, and student players.
Send Invitations To All Parents For Mother's Day
Invitations to attend Mt. Oead's annual Mother's Day celebration, May 2 and 3, will be sent Monday to parents of all students now enrolled in the University, Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, advisor of women, and chairman of the committee, announced yesterday.
"Although these invitations are being sent out by the University," Miss Meguiar said, "the students are expected to individually write their parents and ask them to come. In order to make this event the greatest possible success, we need the cooperation of each and every student."
The program for Saturday, May 2, will officially begin with registration of the visiting parents at the Memorial Union building in the morning. Parents desiring them will be given complimentary tickets to the K.U.-Kansas State track meet to be held in the afternoon at Memorial stadium. Parents will be able to purchase tickets at the registration booth for the buffet-dinner to be held in the ballroom of the Union building at 6 o'clock Saturday evening.
For the visiting mothers who do not wish to attend the track meet, a fashion show has been planned at the same time as the athletic event. Following the show the mothers will be the guests of the department of home economies at a tea to be held in the basement of Fraser hall. The buffet-supper and accompanying entertainment, which includes a talk by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, will conclude the University's portion of the two - day program.
Sunday, May 3, will be left open in order that the fraternities, sororities, and other organized houses may carry out their individual programs.
Miss Meguiar also expressed the opinion that not only should the students who are attached to some organization planning a program for Sunday request their parents to stay over for the second day, but that all students of the University should make some sort of plans for this day with their parents at the University.

Debunking the common belief that cowboy songs are impromptu compositions of the cowboys on the range, William A. Owens, professor of English at Texas A. and M., presented a lecture-recital on American folk songs in Fraser theater Friday afternoon. The leading authority on folk music reported that cowboy music has a distinctly English quality which is not a result of the rhythm of horseback riding.
Owens became interested in the subject of folk music while at college and began his serious investigation with the study of English ballads. He related that during his collecting of typical musical compositions of the southwestern part of the United States he had encountered little difficulty in securing recordings of both secular and spiritual negro music. Accrediting this to the negroes' love for singing, Owens related several experiences while collecting certain rare selections.

Owens told how he sometimes had to take his musicians as far as thirty miles from their homes in order to reach electricity with which to operate his recording machine. He demonstrated his lecture with recorded selections of different groups and races of people. The lecture was sponsored by the department of English.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 1942
FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Only record to be set at yesterday's Kansas Relays was the record of breaking no records. It has been customary for one or two marks to be bettered each year, but it seems the runners and teams this time were satisfied with beating the fellow next to them rather than shooting for new highs . . . As it was Prairie Views Teachers barely missed the bull's eye in the college mile relay. Had Louis Smith run his first 220 just half as fast as he did the last of his quarter, he surely would have hung up a new record in anchoring the Texas boys in that event.
Billy Rothwell, Mizzou sophomore pole vault expert, who has hit 13 feet 6 this year has taken leave of his pet event. He plans to go into the army air corps soon, couldn't see the use of hanging around the vaulting pit . . . Yesterday's vaulting appearance was the first in six weeks for Howard Debus of Nebraska. He has been indulging in spring football practice till this week. He tied Rothwell at 13 feet 3 for second in the Big Six indoor meet in February. Debus is a sophomore, an excellent football player and track man, and holds the state high school decathalon title in Nebraska.
Kane Wasn't Always Good
In the Indiana state high school track meet held in Indianapolis in 1937, the right eminent Mr. Campbell Kane who now wears the national intercollegiate halfmile crown, could do no better than fifth in the quarter mile. He has come a long way since then; now he outruns everything of college vintage that doesn't have a motor hooked to it . . . Taking long, smooth strides, Kane was content yesterday merely to get out in front and see how little he could exert himself and still win. Too bad he didn't have Oklahoma's Bill Lyda, who can run as long as an eight day clock and as fast as a scared Jap, to urge him on. He might have registered a look of surprise gazing at the Sooner runner's back as they crossed the finish line.
Dr. Glenn Cunningham, miler supreme of a few years ago who was serving as referee for the Relays yesterday, doesn't look nearly so natural in a stylishly cut gray suit and a white starter's cap as he does in the crimson and blue track jersey and spiked shoes which he has worn to world recognition . . .
Glenn said in helping time Friday's high school races, "I don't start the watch when I see the smoke of the starter's gun; I snap it when I see him tighten his finger on the trigger . . . Cunningham was very modest about the sophomore quartet he entered in the college distance medley relay yesterday. He admitted they were "fair," said Dave Clutterham, nucleus of the team, had been clocked in the neighborhood of 4:28 for the indoor mile, should hit in the vicinity of 4:15 outdoors. Oh yes, they won the distance medley . . . While Glen doesn't run for time any more, he still keeps in condition. Once in a while some of the fellows on his Cornell College team challenge him to a race;
Hutch Wins Track Crown
Hutchinson's Salt Hawks won their second consecutive Kansas Relays interscolastic Class A Friday, but it took Atchison's mile relay team to break the only record smashed all afternoon.
Monte Waldecker brought victory to Hutchinson over Wichita East, who finished second last year. Waldecker had collected firsts in the 100 and 440 dashes when he went into the next to last event, the 220 with Hutchinson and Wichita tied 27-all.
Waldecker stepped off the furlough in 22.4 to assure Hutchinson the title. Final standings in class A were Hutchinson, 38; Wichita East, 37; Topeka, 14 for third; and Atchison fourth with 12.
Bill Grimes, lanky Ashland speedster dominated scoring in class B competition with victories in the century, the 220 and the quarter mile. Despite Grimes' sweeping the dashes, an evenly balanced team from Mount Hope ran off with top honors with $28\frac{1}{2}$ points. Enterprise was second with 26, Ashland third with 17, and Baldwin fourth with 16.
In the last event of the afternoon, Atchison's quartet of Wilson, Richey, Ewing, and Bratton sizzled home some hundred yards ahead of the nearest competition to better the mile relay record in class A. Atchison's time was 3 minutes 31.2 seconds—4 second better than the record set by the Kansas Vocational School in 1933.
Jack Grim, Wellington's 265 pound all-state football center, gathered in ten points with firsts in the shot put and discus. Warren Feindt, Wichita East javelin thrower, shot the shaft 188 feet 86 inches for near record performance.
Class A:
120 high hurdles -Dawson (Shaw-
nee Mission). 15.5.

led the javelin throw with a toss of 196 feet $ 9 \frac{1}{2} $ inches. Milo Farneti of Kansas took third in this event; his distance was 185 feet 7 inches. Nebraska's weight star Edsel Wibbels placed in three events, taking second in the javelin, third in the discus and fourth in the shot.
Oklahoma Wins Two
Oklahoma's big three—Orv Matthews, Bill Lyda, and Dick Smethers—helped gather in firsts for the Sooners on the university distance and sprint medley relays.
Cunningham's Proteges Victorious
Cornell College of Mount Vernon, Iowa, under Glenn Cunningham's tutelage, brought home first in the college distance medley reley.
Dave Clutterham, Cornell's sophomore distance sensation, overtook a 50-yard lead held by Oklahoma Baptist going into the anchor position, scampered away at the tape 15 yards ahead to give Cornell College the title.
Mathews, Big Six dash champion,
won the century in 9.8 seconds.
In the distance medley, Lyda, Big Six
quarter and half mile king, took
the baton with a 10 yard deficit
which he turned into a 20 yard
lead in his three laps. Smethers,
Big Six two mile winner, stretched
this advantage to 60 yards in running
the anchor mile.
Indiana's Hoosier's dominated the two mile and the four mile university relays on the ability of Campbell Kane, national intercollegiate half mile champion who runs with watch-like precision.

Phog Calls For Spring Basketball
The building program for next year's Jayhawk basketball team will begin tomorrow night at which time Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Kansas basketball coach, has called the first of nine sessions of spring basket- ball practice.
Priorities in attention will be given to the freshman and varsity reserve basketball players at this practice which will be held in Robinson gym; it will begin at 7 p.m., last an hour and a half.
"Anyone who is willing to train and attend practice will have a chance to make next year's varsity" coach Allen stessed. "We can wi our games on fundamentals, and that's what we'll spend our time polishing," he added.
While Dr. Allen believes that spring basketball practice stressing fundamentals is important to a championship team, he emphasized that he didn't want players reporting for practice if their grades were down. "The men are up here primarily to get an education, not to play basketball," he put it.
Neither does Allen want men to report who are now engaged in some other varsity sport such as baseball or football. He intends to drill in fundamentals the yearlings who will be varisity material next year, and this year's reserves who will be filling first team berths in the future.
"Basketball fans like to see a fighting, aggressive team, and that what I intend to have," 'Phog' stated, "I intend to go ahead with drill on the assumption none of my men will be taken in the draft; of course, some of them probably will, but I think that we will be as well off as any of the other teams."
Faculty Leave for Meeting
Professor and Mrs. R. Q. Brewster, I. Glenn Stevenson, assistant custodian of the chemistry department, and Ronald Pankratz, assistant instructor in chemistry, will leave this morning for Memphis, Tenn., where they will attend the spring meeting of the American Chemical society.

Malott Surprises H.S. Senior Guests
Chancellor Deane W. Malott extended a welcome to more than 250 high school seniors on their Sneak day visit to the University. Malott dropped in unexpectedly as the high schoolers were finishing their cafeteria style luncheon Friday night, and gave an informal talk.
The group was comprised of high schools, Bushong, Corning, Goff, Lebo, Leonardville, Melvern, Whiting, Williamsburg, Auburn, Council Grove, and Quenemo.
During the morning, the students were taken on tours of the campus buildings. There were nine of these tours, each planned to include different points of interest, and the students could choose the tour which would enable them to see just what they wanted. The first four tours were designed to interest both men and women. Two of the other five were for men only, and two were exclusive for women. The ninth tour did not include the honors convocation.
Following the lunch Friday noon in the Memorial Union building, the students were shown through the dormitories, the men going to Templin and Battenfeld; the women to Watkins and Miller halls. Those who wished to do so went atop Fraser tower for a bird's eye view of the campus.
At 2:30 a tea was given for the girls at the home management house, followed by a liquid air demonstration for the whole group at 3:15 in Bailey chemical laboratories. A concert was given in Frank
At 1:30 the group split up, those wishing to see the interscholastic track meet went to the stadium, while others went to Fraser theater to see two movies on campus activities, and watch George Rhoades, college junior, perform some baton twirling antics.

After another cafeteria style meal in the Union building, the students had their choice of dancing from 7 to 9, or attending free of charge the movie at the Jayhawker theater, "To the Shores of Tripoli."
Phi Kappa Delta to Hold Initiation Dinner Tomorrow

Principal speaker at the dinner will be Dr. Nelson P. Horn, president of Baker University. He will be introduced by George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education. A violin solo by Donald Michel and an oboe solo by Robert Forman, both fine arts seniors, will complete the program. Orville Eaton, instructor of education and chapter president, will preside as toastmaster.
Initiates will be Ralph Anderson, college senior; Robert Blair, graduate; George Hiatt, graduate; William Miller, fine arts senior; John Pfitsch, graduate; and Warren Wilson, graduate.

The KANSAN Comments...
Collectivism Vs. Individualism
DOMENICO GAGLIARDO Professor of Economics
The nature and extent of post-war economic reconstruction cannot as yet be even dimly perceived, for the controlling factors are still embattled issues whose ultimate outcome is, and will for some time remain, in doubt.
Whether we win or lose will make the greatest difference. For if we win, then even though it be a pyrrhic victory, the ruins will be ours to reconstruct as we, and not as Hitler or Hirohito, may think best. If we lose, others will plan for us, and a glance at continental Europe gives us a general idea of what the plan will be like.
Assuming victory, the most fundamental economic issue will be collectivism versus individualism. A word of caution is needed here. The issue is not likely to involve a choice between complete collectivism and complete individualism, but rather how much of each we should have. At the moment, individualism is rapidly and necessarily losing ground, but it is impossible to foretell whether at the end of the war we will be hungry for still more collectivism or completely satiated with what we have.
If the decision is in favor of collectivism, we will have State Socialism—government ownership and operation of at least the major instruments of production and distribution. The epic struggle which Russia is now waging against Germany is doubly significant. It contributes to the defeat of Fascism, and it contributes to the growth of faith in collectivism. Unless the individualistic democracies contribute substantially to the final "kill" of Fascism, collectivism will no doubt spread rapidly.
If individualism prevails, and it will prevail only if the English speaking world makes collossal efforts and sacrifice, our basic economic institutions will remain, but they will without doubt be appreciably modified. Corporate enterprise will probably be fairly rigorously controlled in scope of activities and rate of profits. It is not improbable that trade unions will remain definitely and widely established, but subjected to some measure of governmental supervision in their operations. Assistance to farmers and small business men will continue, probably in the form of price control. We can look forward to clearly defined and well solidified economic groups each operating politically to advance its own interests. Federal economic control will increase, partly at the expense of the states.
It is hazardous, and really largely useless, to make detailed predictions. Yet I will venture to make two. Whether we become collective or remain largely individualistic, we will have an extensive government housing program and a comprehensive health program, including health insurance providing cash and medical
The larder of the United Nations has been supplied with $469,000,000 worth of farm products from the United States up to March 1. These products were delivered to representatives of the Untied Nations for lend-lease shipment.
benefits. These are "in the cards," and the exigencies of war may thrust health insurance upon us quite suddenly.
The future form of our basic economic and social structure is a matter of vital concern to all of us. Yet there is something even more vital. The power to mold that structure and control its operation must remain in our hands. That, rather than any particular institution, is what we are fighting for and what victory will make possible.

Annually, according to tradition, the Sigma Chi's hold a "biscuit throwing" in honor of the newly-elected consul of the chapter. The man for the honor this year, was Bob McElfresh, business senior.
Called away from dinner last week, supposedly to take a phone call, McElfresh made a brilliant target against the dining room wall. The brothers immediately opened fire with biscuits. Quite un-traditionally, Mac ducked beneath the table, gathered up some spent missiles, and counter-attacked. Quickly the battle ended because the attacking Sigma Chi's knew full well that it wasn't traditional for the new consul to fight back—besides Mac was a darn good shot.
Herbert "Buck" Humphreys, instructor in psychology, last Wednesday successfully finished work on his Ph. D. degree—Monday he leaves for Ft. Leavenworth for induction into the army.
Said Humphreys to his psychology lab class Thursday afternoon. "Today I stand before you for the first time, as well as the last time, as Dr. Humphreys."
Tears nearly flowed from the class.
No kidding. (I've been trying to run this in the column for days) I really knew Nancy Kerber was a Chi Omega and not a Gamma Phi as stated the Tuesday's column. Since I wouldn't make such a mistake, the whole error can be laid to fifth columnists who are trying to ruin the paper.
For the YMCA-YWCA fellowship dinner held Thursday night, Colleen Poorman, college junior, had the responsibility of purchasing the food for the affair. The dinner was held at the home of Mrs. J. R. Edmonds, whose husband is the owner of Edmonds' grocery.
Colleen purchased the food at another downtown store and personally delivered the articles to the site of the dinner.
Mrs. Edmonds stared in amazement at the brands of the articles, then breathlessly exclaimed, "Gracious, this is certainly the first time we have ever used any of this brand of stuff in THIS house."
At the Theta party Friday night, Jean Robertson was escorted by Clarence Peterson, college senior. Riding to the party at the Union building in a taxi, Jean paid the driver.
When spectators accused Pete of being a tight-wad, he rationalized by stating the driver couldn't change a $20 bill.
With the annual Zilch dinner only two days off (Tuesday night) the entire journalism department is in a state of chaotic confusion. News flashes are arriving minutely by means of carrier pigeons, the ZG tom- tom association, and teatopathy, all telling of the coming visit of the greatest K.U. journalism graduate, Elmer A. Zilch.
He is due to arrive by stage coach sometime Tuesday evening and is reported to be bringing two Tibetians with him as special guests, Joe and Hank Smith.
"Wrinkled cords, dirty saddle shoes, and loudly colored shirts are never seen in Rio," commented Cecilia Goncalves, K.U. student from Caxambu, Brazil. "The boys spend much time attiring themselves, and take great pride in their starched white shirts. Each owns six or more white or lightly colored suits that they wear all the time." This is one of the many contrasts Cecilia has observed between the middle west and her native country since her arrival in the fall to attend the University. Living in the Alpha Chi Omega house, Cecilia wears typical American college girl's clothes. Her native flag standing next to the American flag in her
to the American flag in her room was the only indication of the nationality of the dark complected, vivacious girl.
"Shocking But Sweet," Says South American
Having accustomed herself to the fast moving people and constant rushing, Cecelia observes daily different customs so new to her. "In my country we are of two classes, the upper and the lower. They never intermingle and are separated by money and property. How surprised I was when the taxidriver spoke to me and the saleslady called 'come back again' to every customer as they left the store. It would be very rude to greet a friend if you did not extend your hand or kiss the cheeks of a girl friend," added Cecelia. Another courtesy is to clap your hands rather than ringing the doorbell upon arriving at a friend's home," said Cecelia. Popularity is taboo in Rio, and
the young people attend all functions in groups. The boys are very 'romantical,' but a kiss is held sacred by all and given only when two young people are seriously considering marriage. Families know and approve all friends their children associate with and many times accompany them on social engagements.
"The American boys are very sweet," said Cecelia with a twinkle in her eye, "and they say such clever things. To a strange girl it is difficult to know the truth of what they say." In other words boys, the campus line can be very confusing as well as amusing. "In Rio we like to dance the rhumba, tango, waltz and Samba, our native dance, but never do we jitterbug," emphasized Cecelia.

Geologists Attend Oil Meet in Denver
Dr. R. C. Moore, state geologist, and J. M. Jewett, R. P. Keroher and Tom Payne, all of the State Geological survey staff, will leave today for Denver, where they will attend the conference of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists to be held during the week of April 19-25.
On Tuesday, a series of special conferences are to be held. At the request of the research committee of the association, Moore will have charge of part of the program arranged for the special conference on sedimentation. Jewett, together with M.C. Oakes of the Oklahoma Geological survey, will read a paper before the association on "Correlation of Upper Des Moines and Lower Missouri Rocks of Southeast Kansas and Northeast Oklahoma."
In addition to the reading of papers, the State Geological survey will be represented by an exhibit displaying its recently published maps and bulletins. The special feature of the exhibit will be the new Mineral Resources map of Kansas just published by the survey.
Other members from the University planning to attend the conference are Dr. L. R. Laudon, associate professor of geology, M. Wallace and Arthur Bowsher, graduate students in geology and assistants to the survey, Miss Judy Dudley, research assistant, and S. W. Lohman, geologist with the groundwater division of the U. S. Geological survey.

Hamburgers Are New
Foods in the two countries vary a great deal. Cecelia was accustomed to steaming hot dishes brought directly from the kitchen, highly salted. Rice is eaten twice daily, and beans at least once a day. Also sweet and salty foods are never eaten at the same time. "We feel that the appetite is lost on combining the two," added Cecelia. Hamburgers are a novelty and in Brazil a great social gathering called Churrasco compares with American open barbecues.

Cecelia secured her admittance to the University through the help of the Institute of International Education. The universities in Brazil are not built on a campus and each building is located in a separate part of town with no combining of activities. In the ten years of preparatory work Cecelia became acquainted with English, French, Latin, Spanish, and Italian, all required subjects. At K.U. she is enrolled in such courses as political

WSSF DRIVE—
(continued from page one) funds to enter belligerent countries to administer aid to prisoners. This international law is still in effect. Nation-Wide Move
The national drive is sponsored by the World Student Christian Federation which is connected with colleges and universities throughout the nation.
Student and faculty members on the teams for the drive will speak at organized houses tomorrow night to explain the plans and purposes of the drive. Tuesday will be the "prisoners' fare" supper which is an annual affair held in connection with the Service Fund drive. The supper will be at 5:45 p.m. in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.
Tickets on Sale Monday
Miss Leona Handler, director of the Unitarian church, will address the meeting Tuesday evening, which will be held for members of the teams and students interested in working on the drive. Miss Handler did this type of work for 18 months in Transylvania several years ago. Tickets for the supper will go on sale tomorrow in the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. offices, the library, and will also be sold by students on the Hill. Genevieve Harman, college senior, heads the ticket sale committee. All reservations must be made by Tuesday noon.
Wednesday will be "Tag Day" on which over 200 students and faculty members will solicit individual houses and ask for contributions from individuals as well as from campus organizations.
A thermometer will be placed in the lobby of Frank Strong hall on which the progress of the drive will be marked. The thermometer will be in the form of a Jayhawker climbing a ladder to record the amount of funds collected during the drive.
A CAPPELLA CHOIR—
(continued to page eight) in six different and distinct vocal parts.
The program will be brought to a close with arrangements of Negro spirituals and mountain songs, including the rhythmic "Music in the Mine" in five parts by the Negro composer Nathaniel Dett, "He's Gone Away" in six parts, "De Sheepfof!" by J. Clokey, and Noble
Further umbers in this group of 20th century and contemporary music are Nobel Cain's "Windy Nights," Granville Bantock's "Requiem" (a setting of Stevenson's well-known poem), Kynette-Stewart's lively chorus, "Bells of St. Michael's Tower," in five parts.
Clayton Krehbiel sings the tenor solo in the first of these, "Music in the Mine," and Miss Minerva Davis will sing the contralto solo in "De Sheepfol."
The World Student Service Fund is asking our support to raise money to buy books for students of all nations who are prisoners of war today. This work is made possible under the Geneva Agreements, which insure that the organization will be able to serve prison camps everywhere.
Cain's version of "Babylon is Falen."
We here on Mt. Oread who are still able to pursue our work in this University surely can share a little to make life more bearable for those who, were it not for the fortunes of war, would themselves be on some campus leading the sort of life we are privileged to enjoy.
Deane W. Malott Chancellor
I hope the University this year can continue the leadership which it has exerted in the past in giving generously to the work of the World Student Service Fund.
MAYBE IN 1943---for the 1942 Dandelion Day after Campbell reported that the administration was favorable to the proposition only if it were conducted on a Saturday or some afternoon. Feeling that student sentiment would not comply with such a plan, the Council dropped the issue.

That was not the end of the matter, however. Students discussed pro and con the possibility of waging the battle against the yellow flowers. The discussion was mostly con, indicating that students wanted the day for a holiday to compensate for no Easter vacation and not for the purpose of ridding the campus of dandelions. But the fact that the topic remained alive for discussion so long indicated that there were students interested in the appearance of the campus, or that certain faculty members felt it to the good of the University to keep the
subject under consideration.
The reason the administration gives for not granting an entire day for the job, is that it takes only from 2 to 3 hours to rid the campus of dandelions, and to take the rest of the time for a holiday would bring down censure and rebuke from the people of the state in thus wasting time when every effort should be directed toward increased efficiency and speed in education.
Sachem, senior men's honor society, met Friday and without much debate decided not to take the leadership in organizing a drive to rid the University of its perennial pest. There seems to be no leadership for the Day.
Unless something happens and without delay, Dandelion Day will be put down as an affair of 1941—without precedent and without following.

Starting with a "prisoners' fare" supper at 5:45 o'clock this evening in the Memorial Union ballroom, team captains and student workers in the World Student Service Fund will launch their annual drive, which will continue this week.
Miss Leona Handler, director of the Unitarian church, will speak to the group. Miss Handler was engaged in this type of work for 18 months in Transylvania. Jim Gillie, business senior, heads the central committee, under which 35 teams including
students, faculty members, organizations, organized houses and independents at large will compete.

The World Student Service Fund is a national organization to aid students in refugee camps, prisons and internment camps. Since 1937, $151,000 has been raised by American students. Aid is in the form of food, clothing, supplies for study, medical aid, and leisure-time leadership.

Twenty Respond To First Talent Bureau Roundup
The response to the newly organized Student Union Entertainment Bureau has brought 20 applications to committee chairman Newell Jenkins and John Shelton, and more are expected within a few days.
The bureau, organized for discovering and developing hidden talent on the University campus, is sponsored by the Student Union Activities.
All students interested in entertaining are asked to fill out applications at either the Student Union Activities office or at the hostess desk in the Memorial Union lounge.
Talent will be auditioned soon, Jenkins said. There will not be much activity the remainder of the year, but the organization is being set up for next year, and all applications are being considered for that time. With auditions out of the way this spring, the bureau can start off next fall without preliminary auditioning being necessary.
The possibility of an all-University review, present annually or semi-annually, is being considered by the committee.

Faculty On Its Knees Friday For Dandelions
The University faculty will attempt to combine erudition with campus beautification Friday afternoon, when they turn out to dig dandelions atop Mt. Oread. At a sub-committee meeting of the faculty Monday afternoon, it was decided that 40 teams, each captained by a staff member, would meet at 2 o'clock to begin the eradication of the yellow pests.
Chinese Envoy To Speak Monday At Convocation
No classes will be dismissed, it was emphasized. All faculty members who have no classes after 2 o'clock, will begin operations then. Others will join them at the conclusion of any afternoon sessions they may have, including members of their families, and the whole affair will wind up with a big campus picnic. The picnic supper will be served under the direction of Miss Hermina Zipple, and wives will be spared the ordeal of arranging a picnic supper. The charge will be 25 cents a plate for all participants.
Dr. Hu Shih, Chinese ambassador to the United States, will speak at a convocation Monday in Hoch auditorium.
Dr. Hu, who has held his diplomatic post since 1938, has a distinguished record in educational and literary fields, as well as in international service. Coming first to the United States as a student at Cornell University on a Boxer Indemnity scholarship, Dr. Hu studied in the college of agriculture, later shifting to the college of liberal arts and sciences, where he won the Corson prize for the best essay on Robert Browning. He has two sons now attending Cornell.
A member of the Peking National University faculty from 1917 to 1926, Dr. Hu devoted himself to writing a series of articles designed to expose corruption and inefficiency in the Chinese government. In 1928 he became a member of the staff of Kwang Hua University and in 1931 went back to Peking National University, where he remained until 1937, when he toured the United States as a lecturer.
Dr. Hu is the author of many books and periodical articles and is at present engaged in preparing a history of Chinese literature and a history of Chinese philosophy.
Jay Janes Elect New Members Friday
The spring election for membership in the Jay Janes, women's honorary pep organization, will be held following the final tea Friday, April 24, in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building.
The 20 vacancies will be filled from the 60 candidates who have been invited to attend the tea Friday. Those elected will be notified Friday evening and pledging will be held Wednesday, April 29, at 4:30 o'clock in the Pine room of the Memorial Union.
Margaret Butler, Jay Jane social chairman, is in charge of planning a tea early in May in honor of the new pledges.
Generalissimo of the digging operations will be Dr. Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar. A committee headed by F. A. Russell, and D. D. Haynes, both of the department of engineering, will plot the campus for the teams. Special attention will be devoted to the "front yard" of the University—the spaces adjacent to Oread avenue which are particularly noticeable to visitors to the campus. After the yards along Oread avenue are cleared of dandelions, the army of staff members will shift activities to the slopes on either side of the Hill.
"We have one of the most beautiful college campuses in America," Dean Paul B. Lawson stated in discussing the proposed event. "We ought to try to improve that beauty every year, and one of the ways in which we can do that is by working

Information Library Now Officially Open
pervision of the U. S. Office of Education. Seated at the table at the right is Russell Jeffords, graduate student in search of war materials in the Center.
The library of the war information center and civilian morale service established at the University, under the supervision of the U.S. Office of Education, has been officially opened and is now available as a service to the people of the state, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced. The organization committee for establishment of the center is headed by Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division. Headquarters are on the second floor of Watson library, and are under the superi- C. M. Baker director?
vision of C.M. Baker, director of libraries, and Miss Helen Wagstaff, of the extension division.
Establishment of the war information center involves a cooperative arrangement with subject matter specialists and institutional librarians. Members of the faculty and student committees are volunteering time to work in setting up the various services proposed as a part of the operation of the information center.
A speakers' bureau has been set up under the direction of Prof. E. C. Buehler, of the speech department, and Orville Wright, of Burlington, one of the outstanding students in forensics at the University. The bureau plans to provide speakers for study and civic clubs throughout this area on various phases of the war and attendant civilian morale.
The war defense committee of the Men's Student Council, of which Wright is chairman, has arranged a series of forum discussions already under way, to enable students to participate in lectures and discussions on the many aspects of our war activities and peace aims. Chief purpose of this program is to train students to assume leadership in their home communities, especially in civilian defense activities.
Plans are also under way under the direction of Dr. George Baxter Smith, dean of the School of Education, for the operation of leadership training institutes through which volunteer speakers and discussion leaders may better prepare themselves with respect to both methods
A chief function of the center, Mr. Ingham pointed out, will be the provision of source material for local defense councils, study clubs, civic organizations, libraries, and other societies throughout the state and also the consultation of faculty specialists on the University staff in the various fields pertaining to the war and civilian morale.
Numerous student organizations, including the recently established co-ed volunteer corps, as well as faculty members and groups, have been enthusiastic about volunteering their services in carrying out the important functions of the center.

He ran his frosh year under Bill Hargiss then transferred to Pittsburg where he could live with relatives . . . He won the Kansas state high school mile crown in 1938 and 39 running for Argentine. Only race he ran wearing the Crimson and Blue was in Kansas City after the close of the school year. He placed third in the AAU 1500 meter run behind Glenn Cunningham and Archie San Romani.
"Red" Returns to Cinder Path
Overcoming a siege of pneumonia, Nebraska's mighty mite, Eugene "Red" Littler laced on his spiked shoes last week, coasted through a 23 second furlong just to show Husker coach Ed Weir he'd be winning more quarter mile races before the year was out . . . He had to pass the Kansas Relays last week; he doesn't intend to compete in the Drake Relays this week, but he'll be running with the Nebraskans at a triangular meet at West Point May 2. Littler is pointing for the national intercollegiate track and field carnival to be held in Lincoln this June at which time he will get another crack at national 440 yard champion Grover Klemmer of California who also has been having his share of trouble this season.
More for Navy Relief
Oklahoma and Oklahoma A and M have been billed for a baseball game in Stillwater for May 14, the proceeds going to the navy relief fund. This will be the second time the two Sooner schools have met for the benefit of the navy. The Aggies drubbed the Sooners soundly in basketball this March after the close of the regular season. The Ags and the Sooners are billed for four games on the diamond this season; should the two teams be evenly matched, two more contests may be added.
He's Good at Baseball Too
Bud Schwenk, star passer of the Washington U. of. St. Louis football team last fall who set a new national record for passes completed, may now be found on the baseball diamond. He was appointed to the Bears' coaching staff last February and is now coaching Washington's baseball efforts.
Haskell Batsmen Play Kansas
Practice Begins For 9 Sessions Of Basketball
The first of nine spring basketball practices got under way last night in Robinson gymnasium with coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen drilling the men who will make the nucleus of next years court team in fundamentals.
Men reporting for practice last night are Otto Schnellbacher, "Sparky" McSpadden, Armand Dixon, Stan Hansen, Bill Forsyth, Bob Dole, Bud Smith, Larry Stream, Max Kissell, Jack Beck, Paul Turner, Jim Roderick, and Paul Carpenter.
Javhawker to Print Poetry
Those present decided to hold practices each Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night from 7 till 8:30 for the next three weeks. Allen will stress the fundamentals of dribbling and passing at these sessions.
A poetry page will be featured for the first time in the next issue of the Jayhawker, Jim Surface, editor of the magazine, has disclosed. All students interested in having their poetry published should turn it in at the Jayhawker office in the subbasement of the Memorial Union building before May 1. The best of the poetry will be selected and used for publication.
Some colleges are considering dropping football for the duration but St. Mary's may go one step better. It may drop classes altogether, turn the whole school over to the navy to train cadet fliers.
Seems NYU is picking a very unpropitious time to abandon football. All except one of last year's extraordinary fresh football team will return next season free of the draft, but Chick Meehan and his boys will have to wait till better days to take to the gridiron again.

With victories in eight of the 10 special events that have survived through the years, Illinois' 18 victories in the individual events heads that division of the annual Drake Relays, being held April 24 and 25 this year.
Failing to win in only the 440-yd. hurdles and the two-mile run, Illinois outstripped second-place Nebraska by four victories, 18 to 14. Kansas has posted 12 victories, Wisconsin has nine and Oklahoma and Iowa have eight apiece.
Jayhawks Have Won Drake Relays Crowns
Of the six leading teams, three Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa—are from the Big Ten conference, and three-Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska-are members of the Big Six conference.
Since the first Drake Relays were devoted mainly to relay races, no permanent individual event hit the record books until the 120-yd. high hurdles were established in 1917. From then on, individual races and team events followed in rapid order.
The 100-yd. dash was placed on the program in 1918, followed by the pole vault, broad jump, high jump. 440-yd. hurdles, shot put, discus throw and javelin run in 1922.
The first Illinois triumph went to Harold Osborne, who leaped 6 ft. 6 in., to win the high jump in 1922. That record, the oldest on the Drake books, still stands.
Latest of the Illini to win an individual crown was Ken Diefenhalter, likewise a high jumper, who claimed titles in 1938 and 1939 with respective jumps of 6 ft. 3 3-8 in. and 6 ft. 5 8-8 in.
Big guns in Nebraska's 14 victories were Sprinter Roland Locke and Weightman Sam Francis. Locke bulleted to successive victories in the 100-yd. dash in 1925 and '26, setting the .09.5 record in his latter effort. That has never been broken,

Kansas' baseball team will take another crack at the victory column Thursday afternoon at 3:30 when coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers tangle with Haskell's nine on the local diamond.
In their opener last week, the Jayhawks dropped a 3-1 decision to Ft. Leavenworth's soldier club. While Haskell has met Kansas earlier this season in a practice session, this will be the
Kansas earlier this season opening game for coach Ott Harrison's Indian batsmen.
Fielding Looks Good
A muddy field limited the Jayhawks' baseball practice to batting last night. Coach Allen, who was on the mound tossing to the batters, said today he is well pleased with the Jayhawker's fielding but hoped the batting power could be improved.
Kansas line-up will be the same as it was in the 'Hawk's first game. Forrest "Knute" Kresie will assume mound duties for the Jayhawks with Bill Atwell, southpaw hurler being held to relieve Kresie.

Tau Sigma Will Present Dance Recital April 29
Tau Sigma, women's modern dancing organization, is going into the last week of production and rehearsal for its spring recital, "A Symphony in Motion," which will be given in Fraser theater at 8:15 Wednesday night, April 29. This performance will include an entire program of the modern dance—a form of dancing chiefly concerned with the creation of beauty of line and the expression of an idea.
"A Symphony in Motion" will not portray one central theme as is usually done in performances of modern dance, but has been outlined to include a variety of themes and ideas to exhibit several forms of the dance to appeal to all tastes.
One of the outstanding numbers on the program will be "The Tyrant." This dance will be performed by the more skillful members of the organization. The lead, in the character of the tyrant, will be portrayed by Miss Melba Schilling, director of Tau Sigma, who composed the choreography of "The Tyrant."
The music interpreting the idea and routine of the dance has been composed by Robert Palmer, instructor in the School of Fine Arts. Palmer, who is interested in this new field of musical composition and who has seen talented artists perform the modern dance, is familiar with the technique of composing music to express the idea of a dance already in form.
Both the dancing and the music of "The Tyrant" are heavy in mood and expression. In the dance, the tyrant is at first one of the people, then, gaining power, he rises and suppresses the others. Unset grows until finally he is overthrown.
The music interpreting this idea begins with a low, dark mood. Then, in a steady trend, it builds up through the theme of the impelling force that struggles in resistance to the tyrant, until it reaches a thundering, fast tempo climax and crashes into silence with the fall of the oppressor.
Mr. Palmer said that composing music for this dance had been interesting work as well as good experience, and that he would like to do more work in this field.
Tau Sigma is presenting the recital to the public free of charge for the purpose of acquainting people with the techniques of modernistic dancing.
Class of 1917 Plans Twenty-Fifth Annual Reunion For May 3
Seven members of the class of 17 met in the Alumni office Friday to plan the twenty-fifth reunion of that class. Plans were made to gather for a reunion dinner Sunday, May 3, at 1 o'clock.
Class members at the meeting were; Oscar Brownlee, Lawrence president; Harold Miller, Chanute; Fred Deardorff, Kansas City, Kans.; Mona Clare Huffman Miller, Torence; Margaret Heizer O'Neil, Topeka; and Hilmer Appel, Kansas City, Mo.
Plans are under way for the third Annual Zilch dinner to be held one year from now.
Fluorescent
★★★
RocksinDyche
BY CLARA LEE OXLEY
A new exhibit of 12 specimens of fluorescent minerals is now on display to the left of the door in the basement of Dyche museum.
The specimens were classified and arranged by Benedict Bagrowski, college senior, under the supervision of Dr. R. M. Dreyer, assistant professor of geology and mining engineering.
Fluorescence is the emission of visible light from a substance exposed to the radiation of invisible ultra-violet rays. The source of the ultra-violet rays in this case is a special mercury lamp. These 12 naturally occurring minerals are among the many which show the property of fluorescence. The minerals are mainly valuable for the elements they contain rather than their fluorescence.
The mineral scheelite, in which tungsten, a steel alloy is found, is located in the mines by using a fluorescent lamp to detect the fluorescent glow of the mineral. Another fluorescent mineral, wileyite, is used in green neon signs.
Two Seniors Receive Teaching Positions
H. E. Chandler, director of the teachers' appointment bureau, today announced the appointment of two seniors to teaching positions for next year. They are Phoebe Hahn, candidate for the degree of bachelor of science in education this spring, and Charlotte Loomis, candidate for the degree of bachelor of musical education.
Miss Hahn will teach commerce in the high school in St. John, and Miss Loomis will teach grade school music in Wamego.
Other recent appointments by the bureau are Elsie R. Penfield, master of arts, class of 1839, and Dave C. Massey, student in the Graduate School summer sessions of 1935 and 1938. Miss Penfield will be assistant dean of women at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY; Massey will go to Elmore as superintendent of schools.
Nelda Budde, an Ottawa University senior from Meade, has received one of the Seldon Lincoln Whitcomb fellowships for study next year in the University's Graduate School. Miss Budde will study comparative literature.
Ottawa Senior Receives Whitcomb Fellowship
At Ottawa University Miss Budde was a member of the honor society; she was a prominent debater and speaker and served on the student council.
Thayer To Exhibit Books For Children
An exhibit, "Books Made For Children," of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, New York, and sponsored by the University department of design, the Lawrence public libraries, and the Lawrence P.-T. A., will be opened at Spooner-Thayer Museum April 27, and continue for two weeks. The exhibit had its first showing at the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts in New York last fall. The exhibition on Mt. Oread will be the first of this group in Kansas.
This is the first year that the Institute of Graphic Arts has arranged an exhibit of children's books, although for years it has sponsored a showing of fine workmanship in books for adults. The jury selecting the juvenile books for the exhibit included Anne Carroll Moore, famous children's librarian in New York; Louise Seaman Bechtel, for years a member of MacMillan's staff in the children's publishing department; Boris Artzybasheff, artist; and Larry June, printer.
During the exhibit, two addresses, open to the public, will be given—one by a staff-member of the department of design, and the other by Miss Sara Laird, associate professor of English.
Doctor for a Day Is Fate Of Psychology Instructor
Doctor of philosophy for a day was the fate of Herbert Humphreys, assistant instructor in the department of psychology.
Last Wednesday Instructor Humphreys was awarded his Ph.D. degree. Thursday Dr. Humphreys gave quizzes to his psychology laboratory classes. Friday Private Humphreys made preparations to leave for Leavenworth to be inducted into the army.

IN BARROOM--
Evidently it was intended for publication because on the frontispiece is a notation "entered in the post-office of Bulgaria as very low class matter." Also a warning was noticed to the effect that the manuscript may not reproduce without express consent of the author.
The manuscript opens with a dialogue between the author and another character named Fristradius. They are heatedly arguing pro and con on "Do Scotchmen ever wear anything under their kilts?" However, before either comes to a decision, Zilch transgresses to the case of a woman who hired her husband a mistress out of pity for him. This last is a characteristic touch of Zilch, since he has never married.
The manuscript and 24 of the discoverers will be on display tonight at the Annual Zilch Award dinner. The students, we might add, are also in a well-preserved state.

The KANSAN Comments...
Don't Forget the W.S.S.F.
The World Student Service Fund drive opened on the Hill yesterday. This fund finances an international program of education among refugee students and in prison camps. The money raised from students and faculty on university campuses is returned to students, whom the war has forced to leave schools. The money is distributed from the international headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
The money raised will go into prison camps to provide books and recreational facilities for prisoners of war of all countries.
This drive is part of the national war effort. We, here in the University, are particularly responsible for its success, because we are enjoying the benefits of public education. Others are not so fortunate—let's not forget them.
---O---
Two Ships Launched Three Ships Sunk
War problem number one: how can we defeat the U-boats? For every two ships we launch, three ships are being sunk by Axis submarines.
Hitler's subs are forging ahead in their race to sink merchant ships faster than new ones can be built by the United Nations. The winner of this race may be the winner of the war. America needs ships to transport weapons, supplies, and men to distant fronts. America needs them now. Hitler and Hirohito don't wait.
The Battle of the Atlantic has been against the United States and its Allies. In American ports war materials pile up—unmoved, unused, useless on the docks. We are building a ship a day. We will build two a day by midyear. Recently the Axis has sunk more than one ship a day. Announced losses since Dec. 7 now exceed 120 ships.
Today enemy submarines are having a heyday as American forces are widely spread. But as months go by the fast patrol subschasers now building will go into service. More blimps and airplanes will be available. Sub-sinking procedures will be better worked out by trained and experienced crews. More and more cargo vessels will be launched and they will be armed. The habits and hiding places of submarines will be better known. Then, enemy subs, beware!
America must win the "Battle of Production." America must win the "Battle of the Sea Lanes." In defeat or victory, the time element is all-important. America's task is to defeat the submarine menace and do it soon, in order to get weapons and men to fighting fronts before the hordes of aggression sweep out again.
Wars aren't won by retreating armies. Wars aren't won by tanks and cannon and men resting on wharfs or at the bottom of the sea. Wars aren't won by too little and too late.
Hitler and Hirohito don't wait.

Kenneth Brown, business senior from St. Joseph, was a journalism department visitor last week. He had read in the Kansan that, in connection with the coming of the famed Zilch, type lice were giving the writers a little trouble. Knowing a little about insects, Kenneth came ove rto investigate.
Jean Sellers, college junior and journalist, met Brown at the door of the "shack" and took him downstairs in quest of a few of the varmints. The journey was unfruitful because Sellers and Brown, try as they did, couldn't pry any of the little bugs off the bars of type.
Sellers commented that she and Brown had planned to hold the lice, one by one, in a cup of water until drowned.
P. S. "Type lice" are flaws in the type.
Bill McElhenny, Phi Gam, was a Sunday dinner guest at the Kappa house. Since McElhenny is such a frequent guest at Gower Place, the Phi Gam fresh thought they were doing him a big favor when they sent his luggage over to him in the middle of the dinner.
The other evening, the Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemistry fraternity, members were seated on their front porch sunning themselves and taking after-dinner naps. An old colored fellow, driving an ancient model auto, backfired the engine in front of their house and, grimming, called out, "Pearl Harbor!"
Every evening, at the same time, since then the same man drives by the house, backfires his auto, and yells "Pearl Harbor!"

Kathryn Bonewits, Alpha Chi Omega, has charge of the sorority pop concession. Saturday she decided she should pay the bills incurred by the concession over a length of time. The debt was owed at one Lawrence dairy but by mistake she went to the other.
"I want to pay my bill," stated Kathryn as she marched up to the first desk in sight.
"What bill?" asked the clerk.
She told him.
"Oh, you're in the wrong dairy," the man told her.
"Oh," said Kathryn, very embarrassed.
"Say, what are you shaking for?" asked the clerk, "Are you nervous?"
"So how?" she said and left.
"So long," she said and left.
She approached the waiting car of Alpha Chi's at the curbing. "I'll be back in a minute," she said, but didn't go anywhere.
Some say the clerk hypnotized her.
Bob Bellamy, Phi Psi, and Priscilla Adams, Kappa, were considered by the rabble to be going steady. Bellamy became frustrated at the thought of being tied down so young in life so Sunday he came up with a date with, also Kappa, Rosemary Branine.
House Fly Is Average Of All Animal Sizes
One of the greatest entomological collections in the country—the Snow Entomological Museum—is located on the campus of the University of Kansas. Yet museums, in order to maintain the position they have acquired require constant attention and additions, and the Snow collection is no exception. Thus the collection, classification, and mounting of new specimens is one of the big jobs facing Dr. Raymond H. Beamer, professor of entomology at the Univer-
of entomology at the University, and assistant curator of the museum.
Professor Beamer has three methods of obtaining new specimens, methods common to all such collectors. They can be listed as collecting, trading with other collectors, and gifts.
The first of these methods, collecting, has proved of most value in adding to the collection. This method has taken the form of field trips for Dr. Beamer and his associates, and a total of fourteen were made in the years between 1926 and 1940, an average of one a year. These field trips have taken the collectors to nearly every part of the United States. For an example of the extent and value of these field trips, a brief summary of the trip taken in the summer of 1940 may be of value.
With complete camping and field equipment, the group, headed by Dr. Beamer, made an extended trip through the western states of the country. The route led to western Kansas, south to Texas, and again west to New Mexico, Arizona, and
California. Considerable time was spent in the last three named states in search of specimens.
The party continued to the Pacific coast before turning northward to continue their search. Twice on their northward journey they recrossed to the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Leaving California, they cut across Nevada and Utah to Yellowstone National Park where they added to their collections. The last lap of the trip was to Colorado and on eastward to Lawrence.
Eleven weeks were spent in completing this field trip, and an estimated 75,000 specimens were collected. The work of classifying this great number of specimens according to species and then mounting them has not yet been completed.
The Snow entomological collection was started by F. H. Snow before the University was founded and at present has approximately two million specimens. The monetary value of the collection would be difficult to estimate because, as Dr. Beamer said, an insect means nothing to an aver-

A Cappella Scores At Spring Concert
By JOY MILLER
The most accomplished musical unit on the Hill, the A Cappella Choir, presented a brilliant, artistically perfect program last night in Hoch auditorium before an audience of music lovers and fine arts students.
Dean D. M. Swarthout had chosen a group of 16 selections designed to appeal to as many emotions as music has the power to elicit from its hearers. $ \textcircled{*} $
Before the program began, Swarthout announced that the program was dedicated to three young men who had left the choir to join the nation's armed forces: Edgar Haage, Lloyd Wilson, and Leslie Breidenthal. The "Star Spangled Banner" followed, opening the program.
Sing Serious Numbers
The first group began with "Come Soothing Death," one of the loveliest of the Death chorales. Subdued solemnity characterized the presentation. The "Crucifixus" was given warmth and deep spirituality, and the concluding number in the first group, "All Breathing Life," was a rousing vigorous chorus from the Bach cantata "Sing Ye to the Lord."
The most deeply moving of all the groups was the second—Russian music. The flexible choir moved from "Thine is the Greatness," by Bortniansky, a profound, yet tuneful number, to "Carol of the Bells," a cheerful Christmas number, portraying the ringing of the bells.
**Add Russian Music**
"My Heart is Not Haughty," by Terepennin, combined all the mystery and mysticism of Russian music into one composition. Tanieff's "Sunrise" was a brilliant, powerful chorus descriptive of the calm before dawn, moving toward the crowning of the Sun.
Twentieth century and contemporary music comprised the third group, distinctive for its descriptive beauty. "Go Lovely Rose" was a song of exquisite charm and fragility; and Frederick Delius."To Be Sung of a Summer Night on the Water," a six-part serenade, was a difficult number well-performed.
Robert Louis Stevenson was well-treated last night in Noble Cain's arrangement of his "Windy Nights," and in Bantock's setting of his "Requiem." The final number of the third group, "Bells of St. Michael's Tower," was a gay, lively number that concerned a man and his shrewish wife, with a background of chiming bells.
Folk-Song Finale
The program closed with a group of Negro and folk-song arrangements. Clayton Krehbiel sang a striking tenor solo part in Dett's "Music in the Mine." He's Gone Away," an arrangement in six parts of a southern mountain song, was sung with rhythm and harmony, and "De' Sheepsol" was made more effective and tender by the incidental solo of Minerva Davis.
"Eabylon Is Fallen," arranged by Noble Cain, brought the last group to a jubilant, dramatic close.
As an encore Dean Swarthout led the choir in Franz's "Dedication." This number the choir sang with an ethereal quality and the same perfect tones that characterized the entire evening's performance.
WEATHER
Precipitation within the next 36 hours is expected—good weather not to go on picnics.
Music Fest Will Bring 1800 to Hill
Fifty-three high schools will be represented by more than 1800 students in the annual music festival of the Kansas State High School Activities association held Friday and Saturday on the University campus, Neal M. Whrery, principal of Liberty Memorial high school and manager of the festival, said today. arranged so that each school is present only one day of the festival.
The festival schedule has been This eliminates driving home Friday night and back again Saturday morning, as has happened in years previous to the present tire shortage.
On Friday 23 high schools and junior high schools will present large group numbers such as band, orchestra, glee club, and a cappella choir numbers in Hoch auditorium and Frank Strong hall. Lawrence will present its groups on that day, but its soloists will be presented Saturday to better balance the length of the program for the two days.
Groups coming Saturday will enter smaller numbers, such as octets, quartets, and solos.

Summerfield Scholars Entertain Candidates
Thirty high school senior boys are very busy today. They are taking the written examinations for Summerfield scholarships after having had interviews with faculty committees yesterday. From this group of 30, perhaps 10 or 12 will be selected for the awards, carrying up to $500 a year for four years. The boys taking the tests today are finalists, having competed in regional examinations at Colby, Salina, Dodge City, Wichita, Lawrence, and Chanute.
Yesterday a luncheon was held in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building for the group and last night Summerfield scholars on the Hill gave a dinner in the Kansas room for the boys.

Pictured is the palatial home of Elmer A. Zilch as he snapped it just before leaving on his extended trip to Lawrence, Kansas, for the annual Zilch Award Dinner. The Zilch Zadruga, as it is known to natives of Tibet, has been the home of the Zilch clan since the middle 14th century. This modest little hovel is complete with furnishings of the period of Clansman Elmer A. Zilch the XIII.
Dear "Elmer"
Recalls Good Ol' Days
As I look out over the wide deserted spaces of the Kansan newsroom, which stretches before me now, it is a little hard to realize that here is a place, which, once filled with a teeming, hurly-burly population, is now scarcely inhabited. Why, one can walk through now, and never step on a single reporter lying unconscious where he was dropped in his tracks by a "pig" thrown by the accurate arm of an anirate managing editor.
An Open Letter
Remember the fun we used to have with the type lice? Especially the time right after you discovered them, when you turned a bunch loose in K. W. Davidson's coat and they ate through and he gave his landlady hell for letting bed bugs run rampant in the house. They finally had to tear that place down, didn't they?
I will now make that trite statement, "Those were the good old days, weren't they, old man?" But they were. Honest, it's gotten so that the m.e. doesn't even dare look at a reporter without smiling. Sometimes, even getting down on his knees isn't enough to get in copy to fill the paper. Why, we used to take a reporter's whiskey a way from him if he so much as asked for an extra piece of copy paper. Golliver Goon once spent a semester in the hospital as a result of
sneering into one of the campus editors' face. Now it's just the opposite.
Well, no use bemoaning the past. I'm anxious to see you when you arrive for that banquet we're giving in your honor, so we can recapture some of the spirit of the "good old days." Take good care of that cherry bounce, and when you get here, we'll show these young fellows a few things.
I just remembered something I've wanted to suggest. Why don't we take over the Kansan horseshoe desk for a while and show the staff some discipline. I hope you've still got those Chinese thumbscrews, that Olde English rack, those old Indian tomahawks, and all those other little persuaders you once told me about. We'll make those reporters get their copy in.
I hope you'll forgive me for getting off on old times. I really want to extend the most hearty of welcomes, as I know the entire department would like me to speak for them. They are all waiting impatiently for banquet time. You know, many of them have never seen you before, and there is quite a lot of guessing as to what a man of your ability will look like. (If they only knew.)
Your fellow type louse hunter of days gone by.

Zilch Stymied
Eudora, Kans. —(By the Kansan's Boom Town Correspondent)—Elmer A. Zilch, who said he had an hour to spare before he arrived at Lawrence for the Annual Zilch Award dinner, stopped here late this afternoon to look over the proposed site for the U. S. Government ordnance plant to be erected soon.
It has been reported that the great Zilch investigated the possibilities of establishing a string of bootlegging establishments here, but was bodily thrown out of town by one "Tom," whom no one seemed able to identify.
Bulletins on Zilch
"Ah, this is great country," the great Lama of the Linotype is reported to have exclaimed as he drank in the full bodied flavor, and the exquisite heavenly aroma of a tall glass of Kansas beer, "but already I'm homesick for the wilds of Tibet where nobody gives a (censored) whether I (censored) or (censored)."
When asked if he intended to have a rip-roaring good time tonight, the masterful Zilch merely smiled the ghost of a smile, winked, and said, "Wait and see."

Tuesday, April 21 (PU FEATURE)

(continued to page five)
The Gulf Town of New Orleans as Zilch saw it immediately upon climbing from the conning tower of U-Boat 86 after a hazardous trip from Rio de Janeiro.
Pinehill, Arkansas. (Special to the Kansan.)—An aged farmer near here today reported that he sighted the luxuriant Zilch land-yacht going through town at 7:45 this morning. The sides of the trailer were labelled prominently with the name of the famous journalist, and left no doubt in the mind of this simple observer, who copied down the letters on the back of an old shirt and had them deciphered for him by the village schoolmaster. Unless some major disaster occurs, it is practically assured that Zilch will arrive in time for the Second Annual Award Dinner tonight.
Oklahoma City, Okla. (By the Kansan's correspondent)—Elmer A. Zilch, world-famed journalist, and discoverer of type lice, arrived in Oklahoma City early this afternoon. His arrival came as a surprise to veteran newsmen, who expected him here on the return trip. He gave as the reason for his detour the excellence of a Bourbon whiskey made illegally in the hills near here.
He was in town only 24 minutes, leaving immediately for Lawrence.
Eldorado, Kans. (By Western Union)—Elmer A. Zilch, wealthy proponent of personal journalism, inventor of the Zilch Zippy Linotype, and old-time editor of the New York Daily Peep and Bleat, stopped today in Eldorado long enough to purchase two oil wells and fill his automobile with gasoline.
Emporia, (By a staff correspondent)—Elmer A. Zilch, respected ladestar of journalism, stopped today at the office of the Emporia Gazette, where he hoped to gain an interview with William Allen White. White, being in New York, was unable to give audience to his fellow journalist, but it is reported that the two conversed by telephone at some length.
Zilch arrived in Emporia at 3:30 this afternoon, and left around 4 o'clock.
Saddlebag, Kans. (By the Kansan's Saddlebag correspondent)—The entire equipment of Elmer A. Zilch, prominent Tibetan journalist, and godfather of K. U. journalists was demolished today when a fast east-bound train hit the trailer. Zilch, driving at the time, was uninjured, and will proceed to Lawrence by horse, which he bought for a phenomenal sum from a nearby farmer. He expressed his determination to be in Lawrence by 6:15 this evening.

'Women' Slated For One Night Stand, April 27
"The Women," a play in eleven scenes, will be presented April 27 in Fraser theater at 8:15 p.m. The play will be presented one night only and no seats will be reserved. Tickets are 25c plus tax.
The scenery and furniture has been constructed and painted under the supervision of Don Dixon, professor of speech. The play ranges from a manicure booth to a Reno hotel, and ends in the powder room of the Casino roof. An innovation in contrast will be used—a space stage, in black, with special spotlighted units and pieces of furniture.
The play is being directed and staged by Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic art. Prof. Crafton said, "I've directed nearly 200 plays, but this is the first time I've ever directed an all-women cast (because of the type of play, we can hardly call it an all-lady cast)."
The first dress rehearsal is to be held Saturday night. Further dress rehearsals will continue through Sunday with one at 3 and the second at 7.
Taken from the book, "Sixteen American Plays," Brooks Atkinson, play critic of the New York Times, says, "Clare Booth, la belle dame sans merci, conquered Broadway on the'night after Christmas in 1936. In 'The Women' she succeeded in spraying vitriol over the members of her own sex with cutting wit and remarkable knowledge of her subject. In the foreword to the published script she says that 'The Women' is a satirical play about a numerically small group of ladies native to the Park avenues of America, and that the title was chosen from several others she had considered—Park Avenue,' 'The Girls,' 'The Ladies,' etc. Miss Boethe's calculated and spiteful writing was too poisonous for my taste. But who am I against so many? 'The Women' had 657 performances on Broadway.'
Alumni Will Hold Round-up Sundau
Justice Hugo Wedell, president of the University Alumni association, will preside at the evening meeting of the round-up for Kansas City, Mo., alumni, Sunday, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the association said today. This is the third in a series of alumni round-ups.
Following a barbecue at 6 o'clock (continued to page eight)
Registration at the Memorial Union building will begin at 3:00 p.m., with faculty and Lawrence alumni acting as hosts at a reception for the registrants. Next will be trips to Dyche museum and the dormitories for those who wish to visit them.
Faculty Will Pull Taraxacum
Faculty knees, not disposition, will be on the touchy side Saturday after the preceding afternoon's battle with the yellow savages, Taraxacum, more commonly known on the University campus as "those pecky dandelions."
Those faculty members not conducting classes at 2 o'clock will meet on the campus and start digging in teams. Digging will continue until the "front yard" of the campus is cleared of its yellow slotets. The eradication of the yellow flowers may include side slopes, if the diggers have not reached a state of extreme fatigue by that time.
Reward for the manual labor will come in the guise of a picnic supper served on the campus or in Marvin grove.
Students with spare time, interested in the worthy cause, are invited to join the faculty diggers. It would probably be an opportune time to become acquainted with professors and incidentally polish the apple — or dandelion?
ROTC Inspection Color, Rhythm
The campus grounds and lower intramural fields were alive with color and movement yesterday and this morning as the University band and ROTC regiments paraded for their annual inspection. Marching rhythm boomed out and flags waved as the artillery battalion and infantry battalions stepped out in uniform rank and file. First year advanced coast artillery and infantry were inspected by Col. R. J. Halpin and Lieut.-Col. H. L. King, while Col. Raymond L. Briggs had charge of administrative inspection.
Members of the board of inspection this year are Col. Raymond W. Briggs, officer of the 7th corp area, Omaha; Col. Robert J. Halpin, infantry, Omaha; and Col. Harry L. King of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Malott Speaks to N. U. Students Chancellor Deane W. Malot addressed the fourteenure annual honors convocation of the University of Nebraska Tuesday morning. His subject was "Careers in Crisis."
Students Find Help Reading Laboratory
Belief that the average college student does not read fifty per-cent as well as he should in either speed or effectiveness, prompted Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor in the School of Education, to organize a reading laboratory at the University in 1938. The laboratory is still conducted by Nash.
The School of Education teachers are interested in reading habits of students for two reasons, Nash states; first, because
(continued to page eight)
Instructors have found that students have four main faults in their study habits. There is the student who skims over his text material and gets nothing from his reading, while on the other hand there is the one who reads every type of material, be it novel or fiction story, as he would read a text book. The student who has a poor vocabulary and the student who does no planning and dreads without purpose illustrate the other two faults.
In the reading laboratory students are taught how to use various techniques in their reading. Paying close attention to topic headings, footnotes, and graphs is stressed.
time in not knowing how to read, and second, because reading is fundamental in both college and after-college life.
Instructors realize that some students' eyes are defective causing distorted vision, poor concentration and resulting discomforts. This being the case, this fact is brought out when the student is given a test on the motion picture machine in the laboratory. The machine records the speed of reading, whether

Army Air Corps Will Defer Cadets
The University of Kansas along with approximately 150 other colleges and universities through the country has been selected as a focal point for the army air corps newly organized Enlisted Air Force Reserve, which has been authorized and opened to college students.
To meet increasing needs of the Army air force for air crews to man fighting planes and supporting ground crews, the War Department this week announced the plan to recruit men in the
The World Student Service Fund is an international organization which provides aid to students and professors who are victims of the war. It is supported entirely by students. Aid is sent to Chinese students, European students, and United States refugees and students in prison camps and internment camps.
Service Fund Drive Continues
Money is used to purchase food, clothing, lodging, and medical aid; to establish student centers and recreational leadership; and to provide music, books, paints, art supplies, and other educational material.
"Contributions from members of the faculty and students for the World Student Service Fund drive may still be sent in tomorrow," Roberta Tucker, executive secretary of the Y.W.C.A., said today. The contributions may be sent either to the Y.M.C.A. office in the Memorial Union building or to the Y.W.C.A. office at Henley house.
Today was the last day for soliciting by students and faculty members who were divided into 35 teams. The groups were organized under a central committee headed by Jim Gillie, business junior. The total amount of the contributions in the three-day drive will not be determined for several days.

Cervantes Fiesta Hits Hill Saturday
Stephen L. Pitcher, of St. Louis, president of the American association of teachers of Spanish, will be one of the speakers at the annual meeting of the Kansas chapter of the association to be held on the University campus, Saturday, April 25. Others on the program, which begins at two o'clock Saturday afternoon, include Prof. Dwight L. Bollinger, Washburn; F. Leon Reynolds, Parsons Junior College; and Marmaduke Grove, of the University of Chile, now a graduate student at the University.
colleges and universities of the nation for future requirements of the Army flying service.
The plan calls for the procurement of aviation cadets through preliminary enlistment as privates in the air force enlisted reserve. The program will provide opportunities for enlistment on a deferred service basis so that the aviation cadet candidates may continue their education until actually required for Army training.
Students enlisted in the enlisted reserve, of course, are subject to call to active duty at any time. The plan, however, is to defer them, permitting further scholastic training provided they maintain a satisfactory scholastic standard.
Students whose courses of study give them the special instruction necessary for meteorology and communications will be permitted to continue their schooling to enable them to qualify as officers.
Whether college students will continue college training for these special posts will depend largely upon the result of examinations to be given to sophomore students enlisted in the air force reserve. These men will already possess qualifications for aviation cadet training, but the continuance of their education will be of further benefit to the Army when eventually they are called to active duty.
Students enlisted in the air force reserve who are graduated or who may be called to duty before graduation, will be ordered to active duty and appointed aviation cadets, with an opportunity to compete for commissions in the same manner as other aviation cadets.
Young men enlisted in the air force enlisted reserve and deferred for scholastic reasons will be identified by an emblem similar to the familiar air forces' wing-and-propeller insignia.
The college recruiting plan was announced by Lt. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, Commanding General of the Army Air Forces, in a telegram to centrally located colleges throughout the country. These central colleges are to serve as focal points for colleges in their vicinity.
In a letter confirming the telegrams, General Arnold said: "The successful prosecution of this war demands the creation of an air force second to none on earth, and this in turn requires the eventual enlistment as an aviation cadet of every young man who can qualify for service with the U.S. Army Air Forces.
"This need is imperative — the number of those fitted for this exacting duty so limited—that without hesitation the air forces are asking

Society takes a back seat when there is work to do. Such will be the case tomorrow afternoon when faculty members will get down to earth and scoop up the dandelions.
Jack Walker, Disk Webb, and Max Webster attended the Alpha Tau Omega conclave in Manhattan Tuesday.
In several weeks, two dandelions will appear where each professor laboriously dug up one. A squirt of gasoline or a teaspoon of lye on the heart of the plants would eradicate them for good, but such a procedure would take much pleasure from the stoop, squat, and squint involved in dandelion digging.

The program following the buffet-supper banquet in the ballroom of the Union building at 6 o'clock Saturday evening will consist of short talks by Chancellor Deane W. Malott and by assistant registrar Laurence Woodruff. There will also be a musical program sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.
Chancellor Malott has issued the following invitation to the parents of all the students enrolled in the University:
"In behalf of the University, I am happy to invite you to attend the Parents' Day celebration at the University of Kansas on May 2 and 3.
"These are difficult and bewildering times for your sons and daughters, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and to tell you some of the plans which the University is making so as to be of maximum service to your sons and daughters during this emergency.
"We shall welcome you most cordially."
Sunday, May 3, has been set aside by most of the Hill's organized houses as a day in which they will honor their parents. Many of the houses have sent invitations to parents inviting them to the campus May 2 and 3.
Miss Meguiar commented that it would take the cooperation of the entire student body to make the annual Parents' Day celebration a success this year. Students who have not yet written home personally requesting their parents to come to the University for one or both the days, are strongly urged to do so at their earliest convenience.
Naval Relief Drive Will End Saturday
The local Naval Relief drive will end Saturday, Prof. E. C. Buehler, chairman of the campus drive, said today. All contributions should be turned in by that time to Professor Buehler.
Soliciting has been limited to the University staff members, but student contributions were welcomed, Buehler said. The goal of the University drive is $200; the Douglas county drive aims for $900.
Purpose of the campaign is to provide for families of deceased navy men. Medical attention, basic needs, and education for children are among the items listed for the relief society.

"Sunny Disposition Gene"
BY G. CRISS SIMPSON
Professor of Organ and Theory
The senior recital of Eugene Ninger, violinist, last night, was a de luxe, chromium-plated affair which drew one of the "classiest" audiences of the season to the auditorium of Frank Strong hall. Phi Beta Kappa's, Summerfield scholars, and serious young college instructors were generously sprinkled throughout the room. The select quality of his clientele speaks volumes for Mr. Ninger as a musician, scholar, and gentleman. Under the tutelage of his teacher, Karl Kusteiner, "Sunny Disposition Gene" had chosen a program singularly free from the tawdry and the meretricious. Mr. Ninger has a warm, vibrant tone and a technical equipment so finely-adjusted and well-oiled that there are never any creakings nor gratings in his phrases.
He began with a Bach group. The Allegro Moderato from the Concerto in A minor was conceived on broad lines and delivered in a sturdy, manly way. The arioso had an elevated lyricism without saccharinity. Although not impeccable in intonation, the Prelude for violin alone from the 6th Violin Sonata was a tour de force of springy, athletic playing.
The second group consisted of

the "Minuet" in the style of Porpora of Kreisler, the same composer's arrangement of the "London-derry Air," the delicate, gossamer-like "Snow" of Tie-Szigeti, and Kreisler's "Preludium and Allegro" (in the style of Pugnani). These were discoursed by Mr. Ninginger with quiet assurance. The "Preludium and Allegro" came off in an aristocratic manner and with extreme facility.
The final offering was the Mendelsohn Concerto in E minor, that most elegant product of an elegant age. Mr. Ninginger played it with a gentility and polish that would have won a decoration from Queen Victoria.
There seemed to be a general aura of good-feeling in the audience. Every number was avidly received and the Concerto met an especially warm response. It is testimonial enough to Mr. Nininger's musical powers that he could enkinder such enthusiasm in his "brain-trust" audience.
A salvo is due Margaret Dunn, the accompanist, who kept the piano parts from banality by many subtle, artistic touches.

FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
The Ralph Conger memorial will be dedicated Sunday at Wentworth Military Academy, Lexington, Mo. by Forrest C. Allen. Conger, who was fresh football and baseball coach here at Kansas for two years, 1937-38, went to the military academy in 1939 to take over head coaching duties . . . Last Thanksgiving day as his cadets were playing Kemper, he suffered a heart attack and died on the players' bench just before halftime. His team came back to score 14 points, win the game in the last half, 14-0 . . . Captain Conger was born in Natoma, Kan., spent three years at Wentworth, and attended college at Kansas State Teachers at Ft. Hays. Before coming to K.U., he tutored athletic teams at Smith Center High school . . . His football teams at Smith Center year in and year out proved the class of the gridiron in north central Kansas. The last squad of Indians he guided in football before coming to Kansas was all-victorious–undefeated and unscored on. This squad compiled some 230 points for the season.
Edwards Gets Chance at Drake
Lanky Dick Edwards, Jayhawk distance ace, will get his chance to gather in personal laurels this Saturday at the Drake Relays. Having been plagued all year by misfortune, Dick will enter the open two mile run . . . In the Kansas Relays last week, he ran anchor on the distance medley relay; by the time he received the baton, he was so far arrears that he hadn't a chance to match strides with the other runners. Track coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss believes Dick will be able to show the field a good race at Drake, given the chance to start from scratch with the rest of the runners . . . Other Jayhawkers off to try their luck in the Des Moines carnival are Don Pollam, Milo Farneti, and Ralph Schaake. Farneti's toss was third best in the Kansas Relays last week, and Schaake placed fourth in the high hurdles. Pollom will enter an event not featured at the Kansas track show—the 400 meter hurdles. Height of these barriers is 36 inches, half-way between the standard highs and lows, and the race is one of the most gruelling of the meet.
Ralph Miller, minus many pounds of weight, was out of the hospital a short while this morning just "prowling around." He has won his battle with lobar pneumonia and plans to say goodbye for good to Watkins memorial tomorrow. Herbia Plays for Nothing Now.
Herb Scheffler, former Oklahoma basketball and football player, has reverted from the ranks of the professional to the amateur. Scheffler, who hit .303 for the Greenboro, N.C., club in the Class B Piedmont league last season, was slated for a try-out with the Louisville Colonels of the American association this spring, but he joined the armed forces last December . . . As forward on Bruce Drake's Sooner basketball teams in 1939-40, and as first baseman on Jap Haskell's Oklahoma baseball clubs, Herbie spent many a heckled night on the Kansas basketball court and many a badged afternoon on the Kansas
Beta's, A. Chi Sigma's John Moore, Alph's And Flashes Win in Softball
By PAUL MOSER
Victors in this week's softball games are the Beta's, the Alpha Chi Sigma's, the Sig Alph's, the John Moore Co-op, and the Pflugerville Flashes. The games were marked by better fielding and hitting than in previous games played this year.
Beta's 18, D.U.'s 0
In a game filled with wild pitching and hard hitting, the Beta's defeated D. U.'s 18-0. Although collecting only ten hits, the Beta's worked Don Comeaux, D.U. pitcher, for 10 walks to score in every inning. Vance Hall held the team to only two hits and was never in danger, as only one man got beyond second. Bob O'Neil led the hitting getting two hits in as many official trips to the plate.

Although he gave up sixteen hits, Cal Vanderwerf, Alpha Chi Sigma pitcher, received sensational support from his mates to lead his team to victory over the Phi Fsi's, 12 to 6. The Alpha Chi's lit on the offerings of Bill Hodge in the first inning for six hits and five runs to take a lead which they never relinquished. George Wagner led the Alpha Chi Sigma's getting three for three, while Dick Miller led the losers at the plate with two hits in three times up.

In a game filled with hard hits the Sig Alph's defeated the A.T.O.'s, 14 to 6. Although he gave up eleven blows, Jack Walton, Sig Alph hurler, was tight in the pinches keeping the hits well spaced. In the third innning the
diamond . . . He was Big Six batting leader for two seasons with 374 and 407. Before becoming Uncle Sammie's little man, Scheffler was property of the Boston Red Sox (club for which Sooner coach Jap Haskell is scout.) Herbie is now stationed at Chanute Field; he plans to apply next month for a commission in the medical corps as a second lieutenant.

John Hoffman led the winners at the plate, getting two hits in three trips to the plate, while Bob Gilliland led the loser, also getting two for three.

In one of the best games played this year the Pfugerville Pflashes defeated the Sig Ep's, 8 to 6. Murry Brown, Pfugerville pitcher gave up only nine hits and was effective in the pinches, while Eldon Williams, Sig Ep hurler, gave up twenty hits. The game was marked by the ability of the Sig Ep's to hold the hard hitting Pflashes to a comparatively low score. Charles Black contributed the fielding gem of the day when he took a hard hit line smash deep in left field, and then a few moments later (continued on page five)

Hill Dancers Hear ★★★
Kampus Kings
Skeptics paid 10 cents, loyal supporters of W.S.S.F. gave a dime, men with "drags" forked over 20 pennies, all to attend the midweek last night which featured a new Hill band.
BY JOE BLOUGH
Many an eyebrow was raised as the dancers entered the ballroom of the Memorial Union building and the reason was obvious. The Kampus Kings, under Walt Martie's direction, opened their first midweek with their theme, "Tis Autumn," and went into the swing of things with "The Sergeant Was Shy." Applause seemed to tell the story throughout the remaining portion of the hour fling.
The members of the sax section
are Walt Martie, Paul Evans, Jimmy Holyfield, and Dick Kell. The trumpet section is composed of Charlie Kassinger, Wally Kunkel, and Bob Cater, assisted by Danny Bachman on trombone. The rhythm section is made up of Melvin Zack on piano; Phil Cato, drums; and Dick Thompson, bass fiddle.
Saturday night will find the new band in the ballroom playing for the men's dormitory dance.

Mary Miles Talks On Jap Women at Presbyterian Tea
"Women in Japan" was the topic of a talk by Miss Mary Miles, associate director of Westminster Foundation, at the Silver Tea given by the Women's Missionary Guild of the Presbyterian Church at Westminster hall yesterday afternoon.
Miss Miles, a missionary, lived in Japan for twenty years and taught in a girl's high school in Kanazwa, Japan.

However, at any time during this two-year period, you may have the option to take immediately the prescribed examination for Aviation Officer...and, if successful, be assigned for Aviation training. Students who fail in their college courses or who withdraw from college will also have the privilege of taking the Aviation examination. Applicants who fail to qualify in this test will be ordered to active duty as Apprentice Seamen.
Deck or Engineering Officers Those who qualify in the classification test and do not volunteer
for Aviation will be selected for training to be Deck or Engineering Officers. In that case, you will continue your college program until you receive your bachelor's degree, provided you maintain the established university standards.
Those whose grades are not high enough to qualify them for Deck or Engineering Officer training will be permitted to finish their second calendar year of college. After this, they will be ordered to duty as Apprentice Seaman, but because of their college training, they will have a better chance for rapid advancement. At any time, if a student should fail in his college courses, he may be ordered to active duty as an Apprentice Seaman.

The KANSAN Comments...
The 40-Hour Week
Greed, misinformation, and prejudice have made of the present campaign against the 40-hour week a shocking crime against this nation. When carefully studied, this program is revealed as an unscrupulous attempt by the privileged to fatten their already profit-lined purses at the expense of the laborer. That this selfish campaign is being conducted under the guise of patriotism makes it all the more detestable to the truly patriotic, clear-sighted American.
If not Fascist inspired, the campaign is certainly meeting with Herr Hitler's fullest approval. Nazi and Japanese papers have noted joyously that the ill-feeling which the attack has stirred up in this country between labor and capital resembles a similar situation in France just prior to its fall.
Far too many Americans believed, in their ignorance, the opening statements of the attack made so suddenly by labor-baiters a few weeks ago, in which they declared that workers in defense plants were being denied the right to toil more than 40 hours a week. However, calmer minds soon refuted such assertions with statistics which showed that the average American worker is laboring almost 50 hours a week. Workers in fields where there as a shortage of skill are surpassing even that figure.
The administration pointed out to these alarmists that the law dealt with wages, rather than limiting hours. The worker can toil as many hours as is necessary, but he receives time-and-a-half pay for each hour over 40. This added pay, the President pointed out, is a necessity, since in defense centers living costs are sky-high and are still rising at a rate of $1 \frac{1}{2}\%$ a month.
The labor-baiter then changed his tactics, and began pointing to figures which he charged showed that time-and-a-half labor bills cost the government 6% of every contract total. Much of this figure has been sliced off by the voluntary renunciation of Sunday double-pay by the unions. Labor's proposal, that should it give up the $4,000,000,000 overtime pay it will receive through present contracts, capital should make a similar pecuniary sacrifice, was rejected.
Carefully overlooked by the campaigners was the destination of this $4,000,000,000 should labor lose its overtime payment privilege. Gullible citizens supposed that the savings would go to the government. However, the money really would find its way into the pockets of the producers. Many defense contracts have been let out on long terms at fixed rates. Only the moneyed-man could profit from such a move.
The labor-baiter next made a dramatic appeal to the emotions of the public as he sobbed out a tale of the unfairness of the defense worker making $200 a month and the soldier making $21. In his anxiety to crush "greedy" labor he overlooked the incongruity of capitalists (such as the recently exposed Bill Jack) whose salaries of well over $100,000 dwarf the service-man's wages. He also overlooked the basic differences between civilian and soldier, which makes any accurate comparison of salaries impossible.
It was a despicable attempt to arouse the man in the armed forces against the man in the factory. The alarmist, however, failed to realize that many of the men in uniform today
are the sons of workers in defense plants. These men will not be anxious to see their fathers lose the rights they have fought so hard to obtain. A goodly number of the soldiers are themselves former laborers, and even more such workers will soon be offering their services to this country as women replace them in the factories.
To be decided is whether advantages gained by labor through decades of toil are to be suddenly wiped out. On the pro side are the same forces which years ago fought for the continuance of child labor and the sweatshop. On the con side is the labor group which has already given up many of its fondest rights. Strikes are almost unknown in war industries today. Why can't selfish employers follow this example of submerging petty differences in the interest of national welfare?

Rock Chalk Talk DEAN SIMS
At federal R.O.T.C. inspection yesterday, the visiting Colonel stopped before the stiffly at-attention Martin Hatfield, Phi Delt sophomore.
Hatfield considered before he spoke, then began reeling off such instruments as rifle, bayonet, bomb, grenades, etc.
"What are the combat arms?" he asked sternly.
Buddy Adams, freshman Sigma Chi, raised his hand—pleading to be allowed to give the correct answer.
The Colonel recognized him, moved before him, and asked him to enumerate the combat arms.
"The combat arms, sir, are brass-knucks and a black-jack," seriously and boldly stated cadet Adams.
(Combat arms were explained to be such weapons as the air corps, navy, the regular army, etc.)
The answer literally panicked the visiting colonel who bent double roared with laughter.
At the Zilch Day banquet Tuesday night, instructor Verdun Daste presented student Jean Sellers with a volume entitled, "My Most Cherished Memories."

"Slithery" Specimens Bottled in Snow Hall
A fact known to most all campus-goers, unless they are Fine Arts students, is the existence of a very slithery collection of amphibians and reptiles found in the lower premises of Snow hall. The bulk of this collection, 30,000 specimens in all, has been gathered in Mexico by Dr. E. H. Taylor, professor of zoology. Since 1932 Dr. Taylor has spent his summers exploring and in so doing has visited some 23 states of Mexico. The greatest rarities have been obtained from the higher mountains, especially in the region of the timber line. Many of the large mountains have a fauna which
mountains have a laura when is peculiar to the many specimens found on adjacent or near-by mountains.
Bed Toad Replaces Dorothy Dix Occasionally, Indians help Dr. Taylor in his search for some hidden reptile, but for the most part they are afraid of these animals. The natives think that a collector of these weird monstrosities is totally insane. The natives' fears are waylayed if they are told that the material being gathered is to be used for medicine. This is something that they understand because their First Aid handbook reports that a sure cure for kidney trouble is turtle liver and the best cupid remedy for the maiden with a broken heart is a horned toad tucked beneath the arm or thereabouts.
This bottled collection is rich in "type" specimens. The "type" specimen being the one which served as the original description from which the animal was named. Upon visiting this zoology museum, the inquiring enlooker will find more than 100 of these "types" in this collection.
The most recent addition to this exhibit was purchased in New York a few days ago by Dr. Taylor. This latest bit of equipment came from the Isthmus of Tehuantepe and contains a great number of fine rarities and a few species new to science; along with this new addition comes the customary aroma and dissecting.
Our collector says that the danger of such shopping lies in one's mind and he sees nothing terrifying in tramping into some portion of brush to bring forth a new find. Dr. Taylor professes no particular liking for his reptile collection and maintains it purely for scientific purposes. He claims to be no snake charmer but with this evident collection at his disposal it is plain to see that he possesses a great knack for bringing reptiles back—dead or alive—cured or curled.
Pharmacy Seniors Write to Graduates Now In the Army
Under the supervision of Dr. Lloyd Boughton, members of the senior class of the School of Pharmacy takes a few minutes of their class period to write to former pharmacists of the University who are now in the service. "The boys in the army miss the old gang," reports Dr. Boughton, "and this helps them to keep in touch with things at K.U." The 18 students in the school write to each person on Dr. Boughton's list, and so far they have received several answers.
The students write all the happenings of importance from the Hill, and ask questions of the boys in the army camps. All the boys to whom they write were seniors last year.
Anwers have been received from: Lieut. Clyde K. Kost, coast artillery school, Ft. Monroe, Va.; Gurney Norris, pharmacists mate, second class, Philadelphia, Pa.; R. W. Klayder, ski troop at Ft. Lewis, Wash.; Lei J. Wiley, U.S.N. hospital corps school, Great Lakes, Ill.

Quill Presents Magazine
BY WALLACE KUNKEL
For the reader's information, Feoh is a magazine, formerly the Oread Magazine, and a publication of the Quill Club.
The annual edition of the magazine is being presented to students at the present time under a new name, with new ideas, and is a pleasing proof of the creative ability of Hill students who are more than capable of simply passing the proficiency exam in English. It presents, upon reading, an atmosphere of quiet and pleasantness—a quality to be desired in leisure reading.
The lover of poetry will find varied types submitted by Bill Stafford, L. R. Lind, John Waggoner, and others who represent the poetic faction on the campus and might be termed "slickly neat." A poem written by Professor J. E. Hankins deserved the appreciation of each student reader and is the thought of man upon considering his supreme. The style of Bill Stafford is ably presented in "Home Town" and "Women of Kansas."
Well-known Hill scribes tore their hair through a variation of prose writings and the results are judged to extend from beautiful to clever. "Cathedral Window" by Addie Egbert is nicely done and was well chosen to head the Table of Contents. Bill Feeney, Lucille Kadel, Elizabeth Phillips, Ise Nesbitt, Ken Jackson, Harold Budke, and several others equally as talented present their individual styles and thoughts in a way which makes the new publication a credit to the Quill Club. Proof is shown herein that our campus sidewalks are not over-run with
The fourth annual reading institute will be held June 8 to 13, it was announced today by Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor in the School of Education. A new program this year provides for an additional week to the Institute which will be called "Workshop." It will be held from June 15 to June 20.
Reading Institute Schedules Workshop
The program is sponsored by the School of Education and the extension division of the University. It is expected that 200 to 250 teachers will attend the Institute.
Programs announcing the institute have been sent to 14,000 teachers in Kansas and Missouri.
The Workshop, which is new this year, has been added for those who care to secure two hours' graduate or undergraduate credit.
More time this year is being devoted to roundtable discussions of problems than ever before. Those attending the institute may attend every session as there are no double schedules.
An examination will be given over the first week of institute for those enrolled for credit, and will be followed by the second week of discussions and library reading.
The institute staff will consist of Dr. Albert J. Harris, College of the City of New York; Miss Helen Huus, University of Chicago laboratory; and the following from the University of Kansas: Miss Beulah Morrison, department of psychology; Dr. A. H. Turney, School of Education; Dean George Baxter Smith, School of Education; and Dr. Nash.
automatons but are traipsed upon by creators and thinkers who write for the love of writing.
Despite the emphasis on student works in this issue the new Feoh would not be complete without the mature touch of Professor Hankins in "The Pioneer Cemetery." It is written to honor Miss Hannah Oliver, the oldest living graduate of the University of Kansas, and will no doubt be read and re-read many times both as a tribute and as a memoriam.
To criticize the magazine from any personal standpoint would be purposeless because of the variation of writings that should please any person reading the contents of the publication. Well planned, well written, and humbly presented, Feoh deserves the support of the student body.
ROCK CHALK TALK--ing, Bernard Hall, president of the Newman club, announced today.
K. W. Davidson, "minister of propaganda" of the department, presented college senior Milo Farneti with a length of lead pipe to aid him in black-jacking government officials into writing press releases sent to the Kansan office in a style to his liking.
Between the covers of the book was the men's section of the student directory.
(Milo dislikes the manner in which the U.S. government writes its official communiques—he rewrites them to his own personal liking.)
Charles Pearson, college senior and campus editor of the Kansan, supposedly did an excellent imitation of Prof. L. N. Flint, retired chairman of the department of journalism. At the close of the play on eccentricities and odd mannersisms, Pearson took his seat amid the applause of the banquet mists
Instructor Davidson likewise presented College junior John Conard with a long telescope—to aid him in choosing pictures of those persons whose faces are run in the Kansas. Davidson also commented, as he handed Conard the gift, that the need for such an instrument arose when Conard printed the picture of the "Sistine Madonna" with the label of "Joe Stalin" in a recent issue of the newspaper.
Professor Flint raised his hand and requested attention. "Pearson, what I want to know is—how in the hell did you get that way?" he asked loudly.
Ruth Litchen Heads Social Studies Group
Miss Ruth E. Litchen, instructor of education, was elected president of the Kansas Council of Social Studies at its annual meeting, held in Topeka Saturday. Miss Litchen has been treasurer of the council for the past year.
Attending the meeting of the council and a meeting of the Kansas history teachers association held in conjunction, were Miss Litchen; H. F. Summers, graduate student; J. C. Malin, professor of history; W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science; Theodore Paullin, instructor of history; C. T. Hutcheson, graduate student; and Mrs. Nina B. Cole, Betty Allen, Virginia Laughlin, Eleanor Schooling, and Lois Lee Allen, all seniors majoring in education.
Bishop Schulte to Address Catholic Students Sunday
His Excellency, Paul C. Schulte, bishop of the Leavenworth diocese, will address Catholic students in the basement of St. John's church following 9:30 Mass Sunday morning, Bernard Hall, president of the Newman club, announced today.
Hall said that it has been the policy during the year for the Catholic students to go to corporate communion once each month and at that time have a guest speaker address the group following the 9:30 Mass.

K.U. Women Organize To Help Win the War
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully volunteer my service to my country, and that I will cheerfully execute the orders of my commanding officer" . . . thus one hundred and forty University of Kansas women enlisted in the Coed Volunteer Corps organized on the campus last Thursday.
Since the fateful day of December 7, 1941, University of Kansas women have been saying individually and in unison "What can I do?" On April 16 the machinery of CVC began
to move and each individual became a coq in that wheel when these women found the answer to their question in the CVC.
To further the nation's war effort the CVC is making plans to sell defense stamps and bonds, cooperate with the local U.S.O. units in sponsoring dancers for the soldiers, send "cookies to rookies," establish scholarships for undergraduate draftees, participate in health campaigns, establish a war information bureau, help with conservation drives, and maintain cheerful correspondence with service men.
Later when the CVC is more thoroughly organized, a marching unit will be formed. A CVC member must have completed at least ten hours of voluntary service before she is eligible to join the marching unit. Also planned is an auto-repair squad, a rifle team, and perhaps a course in aero-dynamics or welding. The unit will also assist the Mens' Student Council in an all-out defense stamp sale. A war information bureau will be organized which will contain all information passed and censored by the government and make it available to the public.
CVC is a government recognized organization which will exist for the duration. Many of its duties will not be pleasant nor will they be easy. As the nation progresses farther and farther in this war it may be necessary to call on these young women for duties which will be far from glamorous. The Coed Volunteer Corps is a serious organization which realizes the importance of the task before it.
Members of the corps were sworn in by Col. James S. Dusenbury, professor of military science. The corps is composed of entirely women with the highest officer holding the rank o fmajor. The major's aid duties will consist of secretarial tasks. A captain adjutant is the finance officer and another captain will be selected as the point system manager. Six lieutenants and a platoon sergeant will be elected for each sorority house and organized house.
By the beginning of the next school year, organization of the corps will be complete and the Coed Volunteer Corps will be ready to assist the nation in the war effort by any means in its power.
W.A.A. To Hold Spring Award Banquet Next Week
The Women's Athletic Association will hold its annual spring award banquet April 27 in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building it was decided at the meeting of the honor awards committee yesterday afternoon.
Members of the organization to receive honor awards this year were also selected at the committee meeting. The names of the women chosen yesterday are to be withheld until Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education prepares the awards at the dinner.
Kansas High School Music Festival To Be Friday and Saturday
High school students, as well as dandelions, will overrun the campus Friday when the annual spring Kansas State High Schools Music Festival will bring 1800 students from 53 high schools to the Hill.
Neal M. Wherry, principal of Liberty Memorial high school of Lawrence, is manager of the festival.
Friday will be the day for the large group numbers such as bands and orchestras to present their selections in Frank Strong hall and Hoch auditorium. Smaller groups, octets, quartets, soloists, will appear on Saturday.
Sigma Xi Adds Eleven Members Tuesday
At their meeting Tuesday evening in Blake hall, members of Sigma Xi, honorary science fraternity, elected six graduate students, four faculty members and one alumnus to membership in their organization.
The new members are: Carolyn Collins, graduate student in bacteriology; Dorothea Franzen and Wilfred Bozeman, graduate students in zoology; Charles L. Fergus and Ronald L. McGregor, graduate students in botany; A. L. Bowser, graduate student in geology; C. H. Wilson, geophysicist with the geological survey; Bruce Latta and V. C. Fishel, geologists with the geological survey; L. L. Boughton, associate professor of pharmacy; and Mrs. A. B. Leonard, alumnus, wife of A. B. Leonard, assistant professor of zoology.
Business Day Date Set for April 29
The annual "School of Business Day" has been set for April 29, A. L. Seelye, instructor of marketing, said today.
The celebration this year includes only the election of officers and the publication of the school's paper for that day. The usual banquet and faculty-senior baseball game have been canceled, and business students will not be excused from classes.
The Coalition party candidates for offices are Willis Tompkins, business junior, for president; Jim Gillie, business junior, for vice president; Mary K. Brown, business junior, for secretary; and Harlan Altman, business junior, for treasurer. The Commerce party has not yet announced its candidates.
STUDENTS FIND HELP-
(continued from page one) the eyes focus properly, and the number of fixations the eyes make in reading a line of printed material.
When a student is found to have faulty vision he is encouraged by school authorities to go to an eye specialist. His case is not diagnosed in class.
Comprehension and Speed
Speed in reading is stressed in the laboratory. Assignments are made with specified time for reading. To speed up reading, the clinic possesses several mechanical devices. These machines, the most important being the Metron-O-Scope and the Buswell reading board, may be set for any speed of reading. Students are given tests on these machines at regular intervals. At first the student finds his average speed and from then on during the semester he strives to improve his rate of reading. At no time, however, is the rate of comprehension and understanding of material sacrificed for the sake of speed.
Tests given to students in the class are of six kinds. Comprehensive tests are given for detail, vocabulary tests to improve knowledge of words, oral tests to determine the student's habits in reading, library tests to determine the student's ability to find material quickly and

Nash presents the merits of the reading laboratory in these words. "The majority of students in college have been coasting along on reading training received in grammar school. Too many students have not tried to learn reading techniques cause the last training they had and to increase speed simply beended in grammar school.
The fee, as explained by Nash, is necessary for two reasons. First: students willing to pay two dollars would obviously be interested in improving their reading ability; and second: because the cost of offering the course demands that a fee be charged.
Better technique and increased speed require that the student put himself under pressure to accomplish these ends. The reading laboratory is designed to allow the student to do this."

Field Kitchen On Campus Army Host to 80
BY SHIRLEY HENRY
"Come and git it" rang out to nearly 80 persons at 12:30 today as the army mobile kitchen stationed in front of Fowler shops, complete even to the potato-peeling K.P., served dinner to University deans, members of the local Red Cross canteen class, and the food preparation and purchasing class of the University, headed by Miss Hermina Zipple. The menu consisted of roast beef (50 pounds), potatoes (40 pounds), peas (5 cans, no.2), bread (2 loaves), butter (3 pounds), gravy, fresh vegetable salad, rice pudding, and coffee.
Of special interest to bystanders was the huge canvas bag, used as a water purifier, and the pressure stoves and ovens. All equipment is transported quickly and efficiently and can be set up almost immediately either in tents or in the field.
This kitchen belongs to Company A of the Fortieth Ambulance Battalion, now stationed at Ft. Leavenworth; and travels in an army "cargo" truck and a peep, (not a jeep). Members of the party were Major Cecil S. Mollohan, commanding officer; Capt. Charles C. Hubbard, second in command; Staff Sgt. Duane E. Beaer; Sgt. Paul W. Dumire; and Privates Roy F. Marshall, Omar E. Armstrong, Morton R. Anderson, Donald M. McLaughlin, Andrew Setz, and Elmer E. Willis.

Musicians To Hill For 1942 H.S. Festival
This overflow was caused by the District Music Festival being held on the campus for 53 high schools and their competing musicians.

More than 1800 high school students visited the University campus today, saw its stately buildings, edifices of learning, and its dignified faculty members on their knees digging dandelions.
The largest delegation registered is from Shawnee-Mission high school with about 200 students. Lawrence is second with 188, and Highland Park ranks third in number with 156. The Highland Park students arrived by special train from Topeka.
This year the program has been arranged so that those schools entering the large group contests today may also enter their soloists on the same day so that they will not have to return tomorrow. As a re-

That information was made public late this afternoon by Jim Burdge, dance manager, after he had decided that attempts to conduct a successful spring dance would undoubtedly result in failure.
The fact that most of the big name bands are being used regularly by United Service Organizations prevents their coming through this territory. Burdge indicated.
An overcast sky which threatened rain did not dampen the aror of the diggers. They dug and shifted to a more comfortable position on the other knee, and dug some more.
Faculty members and their families were engaged in all-out warfare this afternoon. The main battleground was the hilltop proper and operations extended down the slopes. The diggers dug on, led by General Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar, until the enemy lay slain upon the field.
Faculty members clad in disreputable jeans—those from home—and faculty members clad in tailored suits—those straight from classes—met in front of Frank Strong hall this afternoon armed to the teeth and with vengeance in their eyes.
Dandelions, aggressive though they are, quailed at the sight of oncoming hordes of diggers. Excavated, they lay white and limp on their last territorial demesne.
Dandelions
Professors Dig Despite Clouds
As the Kansan goes to press, the battle is still on, but victory is in sight. After the battle is won, the victorious campigners will gather for a picnic supper under the direction of Hermina Zipple, director of University food service. After the battle, comes the celebration.
Dade Documents Nations' Resources
Discussing "Resources of the Warring Powers," E. B. Dade, professor of economics, spoke to the thirteenth class in the World at War series in Fraser theater last night.
In an attempt to clarify the difference between partial and total warfare, Dade compared the money, men, material, and other resources available to the warring nations.
Presenting the causes of the scarcity of skilled workmen, Dade discussed the differences between skilled and unskilled labor. He also brought out the essential things that set mass production apart from large scale production.
"Transportation costs are too high." Burdge said, "for this school to get a really worthwhile band. Only a few smaller bands have been coming through the Midwest."
The fact that many music organizations are playing regularly for soldiers and sailors in camps and stations all over the country has changed the regular routine of their swing back and forth from coast to coast.
Some schools have found it necessary to eliminate all dances throughout this school year, while others have cut out the majority of their large parties. Thus far, this University has not had to delimit its dance activities.
The dance manager has been trying for weeks to schedule a band for the spring dance that would attract a sufficient number of patrons to make the dance profitable. He explained that a number of conditions prevail which make such a situation extremely improbable.
Burdge explained that Tony Pastor's orchestra, one of the better bands, would be available in the latter part of May, but he felt that such a date would be too close to final examination week, and that students would hesitate to attend for that reason.
Burdge's action in voluntarily curtailing the spring dance program falls in line with similar action taken at other universities and colleges throughout the country.
"I do realize that the elimination of the Cakewalk will cause regret on the part of many of the students," Burdge declared. "We had been planning for some time to make use of Hoch auditorium for a really large party this spring, but since there just aren't any bands available, we will have to get along without it."
Burge had no comment to make regarding the possibility of the resumption of the Cakewalk in the following school year. He indicated that only events to come can determine whether there will even be a dance program next year.
Summer Catalogues Out Soon
Summer session catalogues will be available soon, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today.
Proofs on the bulletin were received yesterday from the state printer and students may obtain the catalogues within a week, Nichols said.

'Teke's' To Install Alpha Phi Chapter Tomorrow
BY JOHN CONARD
Eta Colony of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity tomorrow will be Alpha Phi chapter, authorized, approved, and installed.
Lyle Straight, national secretary for the fraternity is in Lawrence today checking the Eta colony records and noting objectives attained. He will officiate at the installation tomorrow afternoon and grant the charter. $ \textcircled{*} $
The Kansas City graduate club of TKE will be here tomorrow and will receive its charter in a joint ceremony with the University undergraduate chapter. It will be known after its chartering as the Kansas City TKE graduate chapter, as graduate chapters are named according to locality rather than by Greek letters.
Alpha Phi is the forty-fifth chapter to be chartered by Tau Kappa Epsilon. Chapters range from Newampshire to Washington, but have heaviest concentration in the Midwest.
Initiation team for tomorrow's installation will be composed of members from Alpha Lambda chapter at Kansas State, the Kansas City graduate chapter, the Sunflower graduate chapter, and the adviser for Alpha Upsilon chapter at Hays.
Mr. Straight installed Alpha Upsilon chapter at Fort Hays Kansas State College last Saturday, and the Sunflower graduate chapter at Manhattan on Wednesday.
Eta colony was organized at the University in the spring of 1940 with 54 members, and the colony moved into the house formerly occupied by Acacia fraternity at 1541 Tennessee St., in the fall of 1940.
Four pledges, the first under the newly-chartered chapter, will be initiated Saturday afternoon. They
are Don Surles, college freshman; Gordon Parker, college freshman; Bill Wyatt, college junior; and Henry Comstock, junior engineer.
Ceremonies will be completed tomorrow night with a banquet and dance at the fraternity house.
Announcements to Printers; to be Ready Second Week in May
Class roll for all schools, names or class officers, names of seniors on committees, and all other necessary information has been sent to the printers of the senior class announcements. Howard Rankin, president of the class, announced today.
The announcements should be ready for seniors by the end of the second week in May, Rankin said.
Fred Robertson, chairman of the announcement committee, urges all seniors who wish to order announcements to do so immediately. Orders are being taken at the business office now, and Monday will be the last chance for seniors to purchase them. The announcements are to be paid for when ordered.
Three types of announcements are being offered this year at three prices. Leather-bound are forty cents; cardboard-bound, twenty-five cents; and sheet announcements, ten cents.
Additional Society-national honorary society for French students, announces the election and initiation into the society of Marjorie Mossman, college senior, and Merle Simmons, graduate student. The election and initiation was held Tuesday.

FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1942
FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Leavenworth's soldiers did it again! For the second time this season they got a one point lead over Kansas and are satisfied to coast to a win on that thin margin. Defensively, Kansas still outplayed the soldier boys, many of whom are former pros . . . Oasis Swigart, star Leavenworth hurler who used to do his pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates, was confined to the sidelines with a sore arm. Drafted for mound chores was Bill Stolt who had just inducted into the army a few days ago. Yesterday was the first time (except for a practice session earlier this week) that Stolt had toed the rubber in two years . . . He looked fairly good considering his lack of conditioning and hurling practice, but we are told that he used to pitch for the Winnepeg team in the Northern Association. Perhaps that explains why he did rise above mediocrity.
Lester Kappleman, shortstop tor the service team yesterday, was playing against the team upon which he had spent the three seasons of his college varsity career. Kap, a Lawrence product, played on the Jayhawk basketball and baseball teams of 1937, '38, and '39 . . . As sportswriter for the Daily Kansan, he wrote the column, "Kap in this Korner," in the fall of 1938. He comes from a dynasty of Crimson and Blue athletes. His older brother, Francis, was a member of the Kansas quintet which was squeezed out of the regional Olympic basketball playoffs by Utah State in 1936. Francis was a Jayhawk baseball player too; he went up to the Pacific Coast League before returning here to coach fresh basketball in 1941. He's now in the army at Jefferson Barracks . . . Glenn Kappleman is the third of the series of brothers to enter K. U. He is running the distances on track coach W H. "Bill" Hargiss' fresh squad.
Baseball coach "Phog" Allen has a defensive team on the diamond this year which is superior to any Kansas has seen in a number of seasons. In two games, the Jayhawk infield of John Krum, Marshall Hulett, Del Green, and Knute Kresie or T. P. Hunter have whipped off three double plays . . . There is nothing left to luck when these boys take the field. They all field the ball and fire it around with the speed, precision, and poise of veterans . . . Del Green appears to be the deciding factor of the infield. He went clear back of second into the outfield one time in yesterday's fray to take a fly. He polished off the game by leaping into the air to take a line drive which had all the earmarks of a base hit . . . In the outfield Bob Innis spent a busy afternoon. It seems all the飞ys headed for deep left field. His catching was spectacular . . . The gem of the afternoon came in the seventh innings when he ran back to his right to catch a high one over his shoulder . . . All the batters had the range for home runs—right down the third base line. Innis, Kappleman, and Warren Hodges all blasted hits out that direction, but they all fell foul. Warren Custenborder managed to pole one out along the third base line; the result a homer.
Soldiers Edge Out Kansas 8-7
Service Team Breaks 6th Inning Deadlock
BY ALAN B. HOUGHTON KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
After Kansas had pushed across four runs in the sixth inning to tie the score 7-all, Ft. Leavenworth's soldier nine slipped across a counter in the seventh stanza to down the Jayhawks on the home diamond 8-7 yesterday.
Leavenworth broke the deadlock with the deciding run when Charley 'Red' Knoblack walked, went to second on Ralph Houk's single and came home $ \textcircled{2} $
Soldiers Score First
The soldier club drew first blood in the opening inning on two runs. With one down Les Kappleman, ex-Jayhawk basketball a and baseball stalwart, singled and completed the circuit on an extra base hit by pint-sized Willie Seal.
Dean Martin, Jayhawk portside batter, led off in Kansas' half of the initial stanza with a hit. Knute Kresie walked with two out, and Hodges poled out a double to chase Martin and Kresie home. After an error on Bob Innis' blow which put Hodges on third, the service club tightened to retire the side.
A single by Houk sent Seal scampering home. Catcher Warren Hodges of Kansas threw to Del Green at second to nip Houk trying to steal second. Houk's out closed the Fort's first inning attack. Kansas Evens Count
One man was out in the second inning when the Jayhawks pulled a snappy double play-Green to Marshall Hulett to Kresie—to kill a soldier scoring threat. Custenborder Clouts Homer
First man up for the service team in the third was Pitcher, who gathered in a hit, went to second on errors committed in handling Kappleman's grounder. With two down, Houk connected for a double to bat in Pitcher and Kappleman. Custen-border culminated the army's third inning scoring in grandiose style with the game's only home run, hit down the third base line.
Kansas retaliated in its half of the third with a run by Kresie. He had gained first via a base on balls, was brought home on hits by Innis and Larry Johnston.
Kansas Defense Clicks
Jayhawker defense predominates in the fifth stanza when a double play—Krum to Green to Kresie—chilled Leavenworth's scoring attempt. Lawrence Torczen marked up a tally for the army in the sixth after he had walked, was sacrificed to third by pitcher Bill Stolt, and came home on a throw to first.
T. P. Hunter set off the Kansas scoring explosion in its half of the sixth frame by getting a base through an error. Gene Alford took first on a bobble, and Krum brought both runners home on a single. Kre-
sie was passed to first with a base on balls. Hodges knocked out a base hit, bringing home Krum and Kresie before Kansas' offensive flurry died.
Bill Atwell, southpaw hurler, opened on the mound for Kansas but gave way to T. P. Hunter in the third inning with two out, nobody on. Hunter pitched til the eighth with Kresie tossing the last two. Stolt, who bats portside but pitches right handed, went the route for the soldiers.

Phi Delt's Shade Alph's In Intramural Feature
BY PAUL MOSER
The games played Thursday resulted in victories for the Phi Delt's, Kappa Sig's, Newman Club, and Carruth hall. From now on the race will be a hard fought battle between the two or three top teams in each division.
Phi Delt's 5. Sig Alph's 3
In the feature game of the week the Phi Delt's defeated the Sig Alph's, 5 to 3. Ray Evans was on the mound for the Phi Delt's and Jack Walton hurled for the Sig Alph's.
For the first three innings the two pitchers were locked in a scoreless duel, but in the fourth the Phi Delt's exploded to get five hits and four runs. The Sig Alph's came back in the fifth to land on Ray Evans for three runs and stay in the ball game.
However, Evans held the Alph's scoreless the rest of the way, while his mates were getting another run to sew up the ball game. Hutch Walker was the hitting star of the game, getting two of the Phi Delt's seven hits while Byron Kern collected two of the four Sig Alph hits.

For three innings the Sig Ep's held the Kappa Sig's scoreless; in the fourth the Kappa Sig's took advantage of six Sig Ep errors to push across four runs. Howard Rankin was the defensive star of the day, handling seven chances without an error.

ACP's Jay Richter Reports from Washington
The pressure of war has prompted the Federal civil service commission to oger its "Junior Professional Assistant" examination to college people for the second time this year. In previous years it has been offered only once—in January.
Also for the first time, it is open to every college senior or graduate, regardless of his major. Each applicant will take the same two-hour examination, designed to test his general knowledge and adaptability. Openings exist in Washington and in "the field."
The jobs will pay $2,000 unless you indicate willingness to take less ($1,440, $1,620 or $1,800). Especially sought are those interested in public administration, business analysis, economics, home economics, library science and mathematics.

WAR
College students with architectural training are needed by the government in "Junior Architect" jobs paying $2,000. Seniors may apply. No written test is given. The Civil Service blank to ask for is "Architect, $2,000 to $3,200 a year."
More than 3,000,000 workers have been trained by the nation's schools in special technical lines to serve the armed forces and war industries. Since the report two weeks ago that 9,500 of Norway's 10,500 teachers had resigned in protest against Nazification of the Norse schools, 2,000 Norwegian schoolmasters have been arrested by the Nazis. Almost all Norwegian schools are closed.
Student self-help under NYA may become a war casualty unless it can prove itself a war-time necessity.
When the President asks Congress soon for funds to operate NYA and CCC during the coming fiscal year, he will probably suggest that the war functions of the two agencies be merged, and that their peace-time functions be scrapped.
NYA Director Aubrey Williams, as well as several educators, has done a good job of defending NYA before members of the Senate Education committee. He told them that (a) most of the machine tools in NYA training shops were obtained before priorities went into effect, and (b) that a month before the general newspaper attack against NYA started the agency had begun inventory of its shops for machine tools that might be turned over to war industries.
Graduates of military academies and similar schools are urged by the army to continue their studies until they have reached induction age under Selective Service. By attending special army schools such graduates may earn commissions as second lieutenants.
New England Develops Herb, Drug Farming
Boston-(UP)—New England may become the nation's natural drug store.
Already there are digitalis farms in New Hampshire producing a raw drug far above U.S. Pharmacopoeia standards because of the slight acid soil.
Among the 380 herbs grown by Dr. Youngken and his assistants are senna, which in normal times came from Egypt, India, and Arabia; belladonna, and ephedrine.
Experiments now underway in cooperation with the National Research Council seek to make the six-state region the home of herb and drug farmers.
A government agency, the Council received congressional authorization during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson to serve in an advisory capacity in periods of national emergency. Such an emergency-particularly in the drug market-is at hand.
Scarcity and exorbitant prices have halted all imports from foreign drug markets. But chubby Dr. Heber W. Youngken of the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy thinks he may solve the problem and perhaps create an as yet untapped natural resource.

Summer Camps Aid War Effort
Eight summer work camps for college students have been announced by the International Student Service, 8 West 40th Street, New York City. The camps offer opportunities in various fields of community service and farm work and make a real contribution to the country's national war effort. Men and women students will live, work and study together in camps holding from 20 to 50 students and other young people.
The camps will be located from the middle west to New England and in the south in Virginia and Tennessee. They will run from 4 to 9 weeks, beginning the last week in June. The projects offer both a study and work program under the supervision of competent directors, and it is emphasized that the camps are democratic self-governing units.
The farms of New England and the mid-west are in great need of farm workers this summer and these projects are organized to help meet this need. Campers are to receive the going wage for farm work in the area. Other camps will do construction and recreation work in needy communities and in industrial boom towns.
There will be two all-girl camps. In all camps the group will live together and carry on recreation and discussion programs. The normal fee per month is $40, although some scholarship money is available and in the farm labor camps the members are expected to be able to earn the fee. Scholarships will be for those who can not afford to pay the full fee. The ISS urges all students who are not attending college this summer to spend a useful and interesting summer at a work camp.
Anyone interested in further information about this summer program is asked to write to the Work Camp Department - International Student Service, 8 West 40th Street, New York city.
Tomorrow will give the last opportunity of the year for juniors and seniors to take the English proficiency examination. Since no exam is planned for the summer session, those who plan to be graduated at the end of summer school must take the examination now.
Tau Sigma Presents Satire on War
RV SARALENA SHERMAN
Both of these numbers, as well as the entire performance of "A Symphony in Motion," will be produced in the modern dance. Every style of dancing is included on the program of the show, and each will be given in the modernistic form. Containing a variety of themes and ideas of expression, and including skate waltzes, jitterbugging, the tango, and the more classic modes of the dance, "A Symphony in Motion," has been outlined with entertainment that will appeal to all tastes.
Another dance, "Regimentation," which is also in keeping with the times, shows the monotony of rank and file. It is given in military movements and emphasis is placed upon timing and precision.
"Stoop" to Jive
War is dancing its way into everything. Next Wednesday night it will take its place in the dance itself. War is the theme of at least two of the dances that are to be performed in Tau Sigma's spring recital, "A Symphony in Motion" next week.
The Revolutionary war is demonstrated with the minuet dance and a stix, pompous strain in the dance. The Civil war is expressed in syncopation, an introduction of Negro rhythm, the cakewalk, and the waltz. The Spanish American war is interpreted with the tango. The Castle waltz mixed with something of frenzy demonstrates World war I, while the present war is done with confusion and jitterbugging.
Jitterbugging for War II
Tau Sigma is presenting the dance review to the public free of charge at 8:15 Wednesday night in Fraser theater.
One of the dance numbers, "A Satire on War," is an expression in modern form that depicts the mood, character of the people, rhythm, music, and dance during periods of war. The dance
presents the five big wars on the United States. The presentation of each war is preceded by a chorus of "Johnny Comes Marching Home." In each presentation the effect of the war upon the social, moral, and economic system is shown.
Dr. C. L. Francisco, of the School of Medicine, will speak over KFKU this evening at 6 o'clock on "The Doctor in Military Service."

Need College Women For Nurse Training
The Nursing Council on National Defense has issued a call to college women, of all classifications, to prepare themselves for nursing careers. The government has increased its quota of new students needed to enter schools of nursing to 55,000 this year and 65,000 for next year. The expanding Army and Navy are calling for 1000 graduate nurses a month. More students are needed to fill their places.
There are several plans that women now enrolled in college may follow—they may enter directly a school of nursing, take special summer courses in science, or other subjects that will speed up preparation for the career, or they may arrange a special combination college program that will offer both a college degree and a diploma from a school of nursing.
Women interested in the program should consult Miss Elizabeth Meiguair, adviser of women, or write The Committee on Recruiting of Student Nurses, 262 Madison avenue New York, N.Y.

The KANSAN Comments...
Round-Up Days Are Here
Sunday means round-up day again. Not round-up in the old ranching sense, but round-up of the graduates of the University of Kansas when they return to the former tramping ground to get re-acquainted with their old friends and with their University. This Sunday, graduates of the University who live in Kansas City will be guests of the University students and faculty.
This program was launched by the Alumni Association, under the direction of Fred Ellsworth, secretary. To many, the program may mean another polite gesture on the part of the Association. To those persons vitally interested in the University, the idea has a much deeper meaning.
Graduates, when approached with the idea of returning to the Hill for the afternoon, find in the idea the added emphasis they needed to get them started. When they arrive they find a program planned to give them a real taste of their University today. Yet the program is elastic enough to allow them to revisit places of personal interest. It means that the spirit of the University is revived with each returning graduate.
To the University it means an active alumni group, well acquainted with the school. It means a closer contact with the persons who support the University in the long run of time. The program means contacts which support the athletic program, the Fine Arts school, the School of Engineering. To the University it means an organized agency of support, moral or financial.
The University of Kansas is not confined to Mount Oread. The University is universal. Wherever you meet a graduate or former student you are in contact with a part of the University.
This spirit is fostered by the Alumni Association.
Action Needed !
Already a big source of worry to independent students who expect to return to school next year is the rising board and room rates. So serious is the problem that many students earnestly fear they will be unable to complete their education.
A rise in food prices that seems destined to continue for at least a while will create a higher board bill. Students cannot complain of this as long as the rise is kept within reasonable bounds. People all over the nation are sharing this additional expense in varying degrees. More to be feared, however, is a big jump in room costs next fall.
By then the Eudora defense project should be nearly completed. Lawrence, which must house a goodly share of the workers, will join the ever increasing list of war-time "boom" towns. "Boom towns" and high rent are almost synonymous. Already there has been some evidence of climbing rents in this city. This trend has cast a shadow across the educational hopes of many a poorer student.
Students who can work but part time, or who have no spare time for any type of employment, cannot be expected to compete successfully in the struggle for living quarters with laborers drawing fat weekly pay checks. University men and women will receive a stunning blow should living costs soar as they have in Wichita and other defense centers. It
is time that preventive measures be taken in expectancy of such a situation.
The answer to the problem will be a difficult one to discover. Perhaps it lies in additional cooperative houses. Maybe better and less expensive plans will be devised by authorities. At least, now is the time to conduct the search for this solution. Prominent townspeople and University authorities should cooperate on a program to meet the emergency before it gets out of control. After all, the universities of the country—like its defense plants are also building for a bigger and better American democracy.

Bees May Be Drafted To Conserve Sugar
When War Production Chief Donald Nelson called for allout cooperation in production and conservation, he might well have included the honey bee, for this hard-working little creature—feared by many for its sharp sting—will soon play an important role in the nation's sugar rationing.
Since the rise of a sugar shortage for public consumption, the possibility of introducing honey as a substitute has grown less of Agri-
Since the rise of a sugar supply of introducing hone, remote. Department of Agriculture officials this year are urging beekeepers to increase their swarms and boost the 1942 honey harvest 50 percent over last year's harvest of 206,591,000 pounds which is equal to approximately 1 percent of 1941's sugar consumption. Swarms can be increased by several processes but one of the more simple and least expensive ways is to feed the bees pollen (which they have collected) in larger quantities than the bees themselves could store up. While gathering nectar from flowers, bees unconsciously pick up flower pollen on their hairy legs and carry it to the hive with them. This pollen is an abundant source of proteins and fats, containing vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates, and scientists have regarded it as a major source of vitamin extracts.
Aplarists in an eastern laboratory have constructed a trap to brush the pollen off the bees' legs as they enter the hive. As much as 70 pounds of pollen can be gathered each year from one hive by use of this trap. Then, by feeding the pollen back to the bees in more generous quantities than the bees would store it,
Beeswax is a valuable product in war production, used to waterproof shells, airplane surfaces, ropes, and canvas. The needs of the Army and Navy, running into thousands of pounds a year have been doubled, and to meet this increase in production apiarists will have to let their bees build more combs. This again will be costly since bees must eat 15 pounds of their honey to secrete one pound of wax.
With the rise of sugar rationing bakers and ice-cream makers rushed to the beekeepers to buy honey, which is only 75 percent sugar yet tastes sweeter than ordinary sugar because 40 percent of the sugar is in levulose form. The Department of Agriculture has listed honey among the 14 essential foods which may be packed in tin cans in unlimited quantities.

Chinese Author Diplomat Will Speak in Hoch
The Chinese ambassador to the United States, Dr. Hu Shih, will address the convocation in Hoch auditorium Monday morning on China's relation to the United States and the war.
Dr. Hu Shih has held his present diplomatic post since 1938. Previous to this position he was a member of the Peking National University faculty from 1917 to 1926, and a member of the staff of Kwang Hua University in 1928. In 1931 he returned to Feking National University. He remained until 1937, when he toured the United States as a lecturer.
Doctor Hu is the author of many periodicals and books, a series of articles designed to expose the corruption and inefficiency in the Chinese government of the early 1920's, and, at present, is engaged in preparing a history of Chinese literature and a history of Chinese philosophy.

Face Is Lifted
Spring is here in earnest. Storm doors on the University buildings were taken down Tuesday, new shrubs and evergreens have replaced the old ones in front of Frank Strong hall, flowers have been planted at the turns on the east and west sections of the campus, and fresh sod has supplanted the barren corners in front of Bailey chemical laboratories.
Campus hedges are green and neatly trimmed; and lawns are smooth and velvety. To cinch the fact that spring has arrived, five baby rabbits were discovered Wednesday nested in the grass a few feet from the library steps.

Representatives from the University who attended the Women's National Press convention in Topeka today were Heidi Viets, Mary Frances McAnaw, Betty Abels, and Kenneth Jackson, all college seniors. The group met to criticize newspapers from all over the United States.
Each representative from the University had a special field to cover. Covering the Woman's Page was Mary Frances McAnaw; Heidi Viets studied the news story; the feature story was taken by Kenneth Jackson; and Betty Abels covered the syndicated columns.
The trip was sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary journalism sorority.

NOTICE TO INSTRUCTORS
Your attention is called to a rule of the University requiring that examinations be held for all students during the last days of the semester.
To avoid confusion the examination schedule and the accompanying regulations should be followed strictly by all concerned, except that any necessary departure from the regular schedule and regulations may be made for good reasons and after advanced written request by the instructor and approval by the Examinations Committee, Professor James C. Malin, Chairman.
In case of mixed courses in which the laboratory work does not come at the same hour as the class work, the examination may be scheduled in either of the following ways: (1) a single examinat- ving both the class and the laboratory work; the time scheduled for the class hours; (2) two examinat- ving each class work with the time scheduled for the class hours, and one for the laboratory work at the time scheduled for the laboratory periods.
Irregular appointment classes and appointment laboratory classes will be examined at the time to be set by the instructor after consultation with the students and with any other instructors concerned. In case his option is insufficient to avoid conflicts the instructors concerned will submit in writing all the examination Committee a written substitute schedule of examination hours for the conflicting courses.
Regular classes with laboratory work only will be examined as other classes except that the hour may be any one of the several hours scheduled in the laboratory period, the choice to be made by the instructor after consultation with the students and with other instructors concerned.
The School of Medicine (this does not include pre-medical course) is authorized to make its own examination schedule provided that it take care of all non-medical students without causing them conflicts with their other examinations.
When a three-hour course is scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday at one hour and on another day at the same or a different hour, the examination should be given as for a two-hour course on the Tuesday and Thursday hour, but the examination may use 3 hours except on days when two examinations are scheduled for the same afternoon. Likewise, when a two-hour course is scheduled on M, W, F, or on any two of these days, the examination should be given as for a three-hour course on the M, W, F, hour, but the examination may use only two hours.
Phi Delta Phi, professional legal fraternity, held a dinner last night in the English room of the Memorial Union building. Nelson E. Johnson, former state circuit judge of Kansas City, Mo., compared the Missouri and Kansas codes of procedure.
The School of Law is authorized to make its own examination schedule provided that it take care of all non-law students without causing them conflict with their other examinations.
Entrance Examinations may be taken from May 22 to May 28, 1942. Inclusive. Persons to take such examinations should arrange with Professor James C. Malin, 108 Frank Strong Hall, on or before May 20 for definite appointments.—DEANE W. MALOTT. Chancellor.

To Present 'Night Fall' In Fraser
"Night Must Fall," all-student play to be given May 4 in Fraser theater, has had several exceptional reviews written about it. In an excerpt from the New York American, the critic says, "Night Must Fall." It is a blood-curdler, wholesale in its horrors—with grateful bubbles of laughter between its deep quaffs of blood—I had a sufficiently good and horror-stricken time."
Harlan Cope, college sophomore directing the play, reports that this is not an understatement, and that the play is full of laughs and murder.
In The Theater, another reviewer reports, "Altogether, 'Night Must Fall,' by de-emphasizing the grisly and stressing the mental and psychological bases of the play, becomes an unusual and original crime melodrama."
George M. Cohan said, "The best thrill play I ever saw—and I've seen 'em all. It takes you by the throat and leaves you gasping."
The play is given by the dramatic workshop of the University, and is given entirely without help of the speech department teachers.
Alumni of Memphis Meet With Faculty
Twenty-eight former University students gathered Tuesday evening in Memphis, Temn., for a University of Kansas alumni luncheon. The meeting was held in connection with the national convention of the American Chemical Society which three members of the chemistry department attended.
Those from the University attending the meeting were: Dr. R.Q Brewster, professor of chemistry; I Glenn Stevenson, assistant custodian for the chemistry department; Ronald Pankratz, assistant instructor in chemistry; and Mrs. R. Q Brewster. They returned to Lawrence last night.

Dr. Hu Shih To Talk on China At Convocation
China and its relation to the United States and the war will be discussed by an authority on the subject in Hoch auditorium Monday morning at 10:30 when Dr. Hu Shih, Chinese ambassador to the United States, addresses a convocation audience.
Dr. Hu, who has held his diplomatic post since 1938, has a distinguished record in educational and literary fields, as well as in international service. He is the author of many books and articles in periodicals, and at present is engaged in preparing a history of Chinese literature and a history of Chinese philosophy.
Along educational lines, Dr. Hu has also been progressive. A member of the Peking National University faculty from 1817 to 1926, Dr. Hu devoted himself to writing a series of articles designed to expose corruption and inefficiency in the Chinese government.
In 1928 Dr. Hu became a member of the staff of Kwang Hua University and in 1931 went back to the Peking school where he remained

Faculty Diggers Rout Dandelions
Faculty members are by now beginning to bend their bruised knees and use their blistered thumbs, the price of a victory over sturdy, hard-fighting little dandelions. Long before the massacred bodies of the yellow foe lay limp on the grass, the invading faculty was aching and gritting its teeth.
But the campaigners persevered, and by 6 o'clock, the front yard of the campus was strewn with the uprooted dandelions. (continued to page eight)

Proficiency Exam Slated for Summer
Contrary to a previous report, an English proficiency examination will be given during the summer session although the date has not been set. John B. Virtue, assistant professor of English, announced yesterday.
Virtue also stated that a change has been made in the regulation concerning the 24 credit hours which must be completed after taking the test before a student is eligible to be graduated. Hereafter, if the test is taken and passed in October, the student will be eligible for graduation with his class the ensuing spring, but if passed in December or February, he must wait until the end of the next summer session before being eligible for graduation, provided he takes 24 hours.
Sixty-five students took the examination given in Bailey Chemical laboratories yesterday morning.
the major portion of the stamp selling will be handled by the recently organized Co-Ed Volunteer Corps, an organization of women who have pledged themselves to aid in the national wartime program.
A booth will be built in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall from which members of the CVC will sell defense stamps, albums, and tickets to the Defense Mid-Week, which is planned for Wednesday night, when the drive will end.
University organizations that will assist in the drive are the Inter-Fraternity Council, the Women's Pan-Hellenic Council, the Inter-Hall Council (Men's residence halls), representatives of organized women's residence halls, the Daily Kansan, the Student Union Activities Board, and Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity.
Evan Griffith, state administrator of the defense savings staff, has been watching with interest the progress of the plans for the drive, and has expressed his hope and confidence that it will succeed. The drive's success on the campus will deter-

Sigma Chi Defends 1942 Honors in 8th Annual Songfest
Rivalry will be strong at the eighth annual Inter-Fraternity singing contest at 4 o'clock this afternoon in Hoch auditorium.
Sigma Chi, who ended Phi Delta Theta's six-year winning streak by taking first prize in last year's contest, will be striving to come out on top again, while the Phi Delt's will be trying just as hard to regain their position as perennial champions.
Started in 1926, the contest was discontinued until 1935, when it was revived by Phi Mu Alpha, professional music fraternity. Since then, Phi Mu Alpha has kept the event alive, sponsoring it each spring.
Plaque is Awarded
James Barton, instructor of speech, will be master of ceremonies at this year's contest, presenting the contestants in the order which will be determined by a drawing immediately before the contest. Judges, who will be announced at the contest, will pick the best three groups of the eight entered. The prizes to be awarded are: a plaque, which must be won three consecutive years before ownership becomes permanent, to the first place winner; a silver trophy to the second place group; and a smaller gold trophy for third place.
Following the tradition established with the contest, each fraternity will sing three songs, the Alma Mater, one fraternal song, and one of its own choice.
Last year, Charles Bradley, business senior, conducted the Sigma Chi's to victory on a Clarence Peterson arrangement of "Summertime," George Gershwin's "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," and the Alma Mater. Phi Delta Theta held second place with a crooning arrangement of Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer," the Alma Mater, and the Phi Delt marching song. PhiGamma Delta, who won third place singing their sweetheart song and "Smoke Dreams," besides the Alma Mater, entered this year's event, but withdrew. Bradley will conduct the Sigma Chi vocalists again this year, and the Phi Delt's will work under (continued to page eight)

Spanish Profs On Campus For Cervantes Day
Celebrating "Cervantes Day," the University department of Romance languages was host yesterday to a meeting of the Kansas chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish.
A program was presented in the afternoon in Frank Strong hall and a dinner was held last night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. The program at the dinner, conducted entirely in Spanish, featured plays, dances, and speeches by high school students and University exchange scholars.
Chairman of the afternoon meeting was W. H. Shoemaker, chairman of the department of Romance languages, and speakers were Prof. Wright L. Bollinger, Washburn Municipal University, who spoke on "What the Costa Ricans Think of Us," J. Leon Reynolds, Parsons junior college, "A Pan-American Spanish Course," Marmaduke Grove, Chilean exchange scholar at the University, "Chile y los Estados Unidos." Shoemaker read a letter and paper by Stephen L. Pitcher, St. Louis, national president of the association. A business meeting followed the program.
Cervantes Day is held on the anniversary of the death of Miguel Cervantes, author of "Don Quixote."
K.C. Alumni Roundup On Campus Today
University alumni from Kansas City, Mo., will hold a roundup on the campus this afternoon, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, announced yesterday. This is the third in a series of alumni roundups this year.

Until the barbecue at 6 o'clock, the alumni will be on their own. Those who are interested will be shown through Dyche museum and the student dormitories. After the barbecue, the movies taken at the Seventh-Fifth Anniversary celebration last spring will be shown.
At 7.30, Justice of the State Supreme court Hugo Wedell, president of the Alumni association, will preside at a meeting in the Union ballroom. Chancellor Malott will address the group on the University and its relation to the war program.
A nature talk will be given by Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach. Other features on the program will be Minerva Davis, fine arts senior, singing "Maids of Caddiz" and "T'll See You Again," a twirling exhibition by Bill Sears, fine arts sophomore, and two numbers by the Men's Glee Club, who will also lead the group in singing a hymn at the close of the meeting.

FROM THE
SIDELINES
by
Alan B. Houghton
Classic of the Penn Relays this weekend was rivalry between Indiana's Campbell Kane, who carried the Hoosier's to victory in both the 2-mile and 4-mile university relay events at Kansas last week, and Leslie MacMitchell, New York University's meteorite mill. . . . Kane and the Violet's star distance runner crossed paths twice Friday with the Hoosier winning both decisions. MacMitchell, who has shown a clean pair of heels to some of the nation's best veteran milers held the edge on victories against Kane 3 out of the five the two top collegiate distance men had met.
Oklahoma's Bill Lyda brought glory to the Sooner medley relay team at the Drake event Friday with a blistering 1:49.7 half to lead Texas' Mac Unstatted and Davey Mathews of Michigan to the tape by 10 yards. Lyda is versatile enough to run the 60-yard dash or the two mile race with equal ability. Recently he placed second to the Sooner speed merchant, Orv Mathtews, in a 60-yd. event at the Oklahoma-Nebraska indoor dual meet. Last year in the Oklahoma-Oklahoma A. and M. meet, durable Bill clipped off the quarter in 47.6 . . . He was clocked in 1.51.8 at 800 meters in the senior division of the National AAU meet last July . . . He has never galloped the mile in competition, but as a sophomore he was clocked at 4:27 in practice. Running on the Big Six autumnal two mile event at Columbia last fall, Lyda placed second to Nebraska's Bobby Ginn who ran the fastest collegiate mile in the country last year; Lyda's time for the two mile was approximately 9:45.
OKLAHOMA
Bill Lyda, Oklahoma middle distance runner deluxe, carried the Sooner sprint medley relay team to a new American and Drake Relays record Friday on his sizzling 1:49.7 anchor half. His teammates were Orv Mathews, John Sharpe, and Bob Hodges. Their time was 3:23 flat.

Opening their conference conquest against the defending Big Six baseball champions, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawk nine tangle with Missouri's victory-minded Bengals in a two-game series here tomorrow and Tuesday afternoon at 3:30.
With five games experience under their belt, the Tiger batsmen will have three wins as against two setbacks to their credit when they face Kansas. ___
Coach John "Hi" Simmons' Bengal nine have defeated Central College 6-0, have smothered Washington University of St. Louis 10-0, have shaded Kansas State 1-0, and have dropped contests to Jefferson Barracks, 8-6, and Kansas State, 3-0 so far this season.
Mizzou Pitching Strong
Missouri depends on a letterman outfield and a strong pitching and catching staff to keep it in the Big Six running. Only Mizzou hindrance is a green, out-of-position infield.
Bill "Bobo" Spencer, Tiger pitching ace, is the cogwheel in the Missouri baseball machine. A senior letterman who hurls right handed, Spencer won ten games and lost none last year in bringing the Bengals the conference crown. In his three year hurling career at Missouri, big "Bobo" has dropped but two decisions.
Frank Graham, another senior letterman, will probably take over mound duties for Mizzou on Tuesday. Sophomore Stewart Finalson will be held for relief pitching chores by coach Simmons.

Behind the plate for the Bengals will be Kenny Guevreaux, whose play as a sophomore last year was a big factor in Missouri's pennant victory. Outfielders who may see action tomorrow are Preston Nivens and Marshall Edwards. Utility infielders for the Missourians are Clarence Difani and Tado Murashige.

The Beta's scored one in the last of the second, the Sigma Chi's shoved across a tally in the third inning, and Fred Olander and John Fletcher registered runs for the Beta's in their half of the third to tie the score.
The fourth inning was the deciding factor for the Beta's when Bob O'Neil and John Short walked and Bill Jones drove them in on a hit.

The KANSAN Comments...
Dr. Robert McNair Davis Professor of Law
If we Americans wish to remain a free people, of course we must win the present war. But merely winning the war is not guaranty that we shall then be free or continue to be free. The task ahead of us is much greater and farther away in point of time than military victory. We certainly are not defeatists but we must realize that America is this minute confronted with the most terrible menace in its entire history. We need to realize that fact now and to become really frightened. Of course if we should be defeated in this war our voice will not be a weighty one in the postwar world. In case of our success the first post-war phase will be a long period of rehabilitation which ultimately must be developed into world settlement and world organization. But in all these settlements we should avoid formal treaty-making and resort to executive agreements supported by ordinary legislation if for no other reason than to escape the constitutional barrier of the two-third rule in the United States Senate, the unamendable mistake of the convention of 1787.
We can at least assume that eventually we shall win the war. Upon that assumption, at this moment thousands of thoughtful citizens of the United Nations both in and out of government are seriously making at least the outline of plans for the assumed post-war world. Such planning is not visionary but is just practical, hard-headed, common sense. If we could be so short-sighted as to assume that we will simply win the war and then stop our efforts, we might almost as well stop now. The United Nations are fighting not only to save themselves from brutal domination but also for an opportunity to carry on the organization of governmental institutions that can, in the interest of all, relieve such economic stresses and strains as preceded and finally precipitated the present conflict. War has been called a disease, an epidemic, a pestilence that spreads. The sources and causes of epidemics must be ascertained and removed. Any plan of preventive medicine or preventive statesmanship proceeds in that manner. What are some of the sources and causes of the present war? Anyone who is familiar with the evolution and significance of world commerce during the twentieth century will realize that the shrinking globe on which we live has become in large measure an economic unit and that each part of the globe is very much dependent upon every other part for the material things needed even to maintain if not to improve the standards of living thus far developed. Surely we have had sufficient demonstration of that dependence in recent months. The economic life of the world has outgrown its existing political institutions. It is just common sense to accept facts and search for ways and means to correct and improve existing political and economic institutions and practices.
No one can rightly object to a stronger solidarity of the American republics. However, that is but one obvious phase in the greater work of political and economic organization. Mere American solidarity without more will only divide the world into two antagonistic camps and probably lead to war. The Americas do not make a natural or logical economic
unit. They cannot be made into a self sufficient source of raw materials nor into an adequate market for American surplus products. Limitation of space forbids statistical proof of these demonstrable facts. Anyhow, South America is a far-away, over-seas region much more inaccessible to the United States than Britain and Europe.
No, it is not visionary to plan and work for the establishment of limited global organizations to regulate the world's commerce and currencies. A little of that kind of thing has already been accomplished. Much must and will be undertaken in the future. The United

There was a riot at the Teke house Wednesday night. The freshmen of the house, feeling they had been subjugated long enough, made careful and secret plans to surprise the active chapter, take them captive and carry them off to the country—leaving them to hike it back.
But by some manner or means the actives got wind of the plot afoot and, as the freshmen met in secret conclave about midnight Wednesday night, ready to begin their rebellion, the actives attacked them and hurled them out of the house, locking the doors.
About 2:30 a.m. Thursday morning the freshmen returned to the house, gained entrance (the actives were sleeping peacefully) and took every pair of shoes in the house, along with some blankets. They made camp on the lawn of the Delta Gamma house, after serenading the women several times.
The freshmen attended their morning classes without returning to the house, leaving the upperclassmen to hoof-it to class in whatever sort of foot-apparel they were lucky enough to find.
Becoming soft-hearted, and not a little fearful of the consequences apt to arise, the revolutionists returned home with the car-load of shoes in time for lunch Thursday.
Phog Allen's Community Recreation class met last week to play games —fourth and fifth grade games such as "Flying Dutchman," "Tag," and "Black Man."
The casualties for one session of the class playing such "childish" games amounted to 1 broken nose, 1 bloody nose, two black eyes, and numerous scratches and bruises.
"Do or die" is a good motto, "Do or die."
Dr. of Psychology Herbert Humphreys returned Thursday from Ft. Leavenworth, rejected by the army.
"The trouble is," stated D. Humphreys emphatically, "The army doesn't know a good man when they see one!"
Harold Van Slyck, will never again trust women. Betty Grable hasn't answered his invitation to the Delt party yet—and the party was held Friday night.
Tooth Paste Tubes Are Drafted for War Effort
Toothpaste tubes may win the war. Retail druggists throughout the nation have been enlisted in the front lines of a campaign to get American consumers everywhere to save the collapsible metal tubes in order that the tin may be reused.
The committee, under the direction of Lund, has set up special tin recovery and smelting equipment in Hillside, N. J. The entire plan has been organized on a nonprofit basis and the reclaimed tin
It is no longer possible to purchase such things as toothpaste, shaving cream, or other drug products packaged in metal tubes unless you have an old used$\textcircled{e}$ tube to turn in to the store.
Authoritative estimates have placed the weights of collapsible tubes being wasted every day as from 20 to 24 tons. One tube may seem very insignificant but the aggregate amount of metal used in the tubes is rather staggering. At the present time there are 6,000 tons of tin in use in collapsible tubes. This supply has virtually been shut off by the war in the Far East, especially in the Malay peninsula, source of the bulk of the raw material.
The public has been asked over the radio and through the newspapers to save used tubes and to take them to drugstores so that the nation can conserve the small supply of tin available in this country.
The campaign has been called to the attention of radio listeners through the coast-to-coast network programs of seventeen national advertisers and users of collapsible metal tubes.
According to the plan announced by Joel Lund, chairman of the "Tin Salvage Institute," the 60,000 drug stores in the United States will set up collection boxes for the used tubes. The collection boxes are identified by a placard bearing the organization's slogan, "America Needs Tin."
is subject to allocation by the government.
All types of industries have been contacted to aid in pushing this plan for tin conservation, but the retail druggists constitute the largest and most important class because it is estimated that 85 per cent of all tin in collapsible tubes is used in drug store products.
Where retailers are within trucking service areas of wholesalers, collections of used tubes can be turned over to the truck drivers. Outside of such areas, the druggists hold the collected tubes and ship freight collect to their nearest wholesaler in quantities of five pounds or more.
It requires a little stretch of the imagination to think of your old shaving cream tube helping to provide the transportation for tons of bombs, but it is entirely possible. Those people who used to be regarded as a little bit queer because they saved tinfoil in order to "keep it from being wasted." have now enlisted everyone in their hobby.

THE POST WAR WORLD
Nations are gaining valuable experience in pooling their resources and removing barriers. Indeed it would be tragic to assume that we will turn back to the chaotic conditions of commerce and currency which prevailed in the 1930's. During these years the world was literally filled with a maze of restrictions on international commerce in the form of unprecedented customs duties, import quotas, import licenses, embargoes, blocked currencies and devalued currencies resulting in chaos. Out of that chaos, by the inexorable sequence of events this world war came. If we are surprised that we are at war our surprise is unjustifiable. Sixty so-called sovereign governments have been attempting individually to regulate the same thing, the commerce of the world. Surely we have learned the futility of economic nationalism. It is the absolutely sure road to war. This policy lowers the standard of living everywhere because it greatly enhances the cost of production of nearly all manufacturers and forces the use of very inferior materials. It flies in the face of natural conditions and ignores the advantages of specialization and mass production for world markets. Economic nationalism is an attempted reversion to the primitive condition of society when men eked out a simple existence by use of materials close at hand. Modern society is geared to global commerce. Modern means of transportation, travel, and communication have brought that about. Why not be practical and face these facts instead of dreaming dreams about the simple pastoral society in the

days of President Washington and King Solomon? The men of the Third Continental Congress in 1776 were not afraid to plan for their post-war period. That body appointed a committee to perpare articles of confederation, and another committee to draw up a declaration of independence. Have you heard of their work?
The fifty-five men who met in Convention at Philadelphia in 1787 were not visionaries but they looked far ahead. They weren't afraid to plan great plans. They were unwilling to try to make their obsolete and ineffective governmental procedures longer serve them. They vested the regulation of commerce and currency in a new organization continental in scope. They were practical men. They knew exactly what their common problems were and they joined in the solution of them and solved them. It is easy to see what the principal world problems are today and it is not impossible to know how to solve them. The solution is not entirely herculean. What we need is the will to make a start in that solution. Indeed we have made a start. We have an organization called the United Nations geared to the fundamental principles of the Atlantic Charter. We will keep that organization and develop it. The problems of the thirteen states in 1787 were continental in scope and were as difficult as the global problems of today. They can be solved. Are men of the twentieth century less practical and courageous than those of the eighteenth?

(continued from page one) More than 250 faculty members and their families attended a victory picnic supper held on the campus after the digging.
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, expressed his satisfaction with the results of the toil. "It was very worthwhile, and I think everyone had a good time doing it," he said, as he smiled at a big blister on his hand.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, wearing the latest thing for dandelion diggers—a red plaid shirt and blue jeans, was conspicuous among the workers in front of Frank Strong hall, while Miss Florence Black, professor of mathematics, in similar garb was the attraction in front of Robinson gymnasium.
Head of the digging operations was Dr. Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar. A committee composed of F. A. Russell and D. D. Haines, both of the department of civil engineering, piotted the campus for 40 teams, each captained by a faculty member. Families of the faculty and even a sprinkling of students were engaged in the weeding.
No classes were dismissed for the affair. Professors having classes Friday afternoon were exempt from digging until their classes were over. Others began operations at 2 o'clock.
Emphasis was placed on ridding the campus of as many dandelions

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1942
39th YEAR
Hu Shih Says China Fights For Free Life
"China is fighting a war to preserve a way of life—a democratic free, and peaceful way of life."
NUMBER 127
That is the contention of Dr. Hu Shih, Chinese ambassador to the United States, who addressed a convocation assembly yesterday in Hoch auditorium.
The issue at stake in the Pacific is exactly the same as the one on this side of the world—totalitarianism versus the democratic way of life, Dr. Hu said.
"The conflict between Japan and China is basically a conflict of freedom and peace against oppression and aggression." To prove this, Dr. Hu cited three contrasting historical facts: China gave up its feudal system twenty centuries ago, while Japan was still a military feudal state half a century ago; China has developed a society governed by officials selected by civil service examinations, while Japan is governed by a militaristic cast; and China has never encouraged the art of war while Japan's national ideals revolve about expansion, imperialism, and conquest.
These three historical facts Dr. Hu asserts to have shaped the national life of these two peoples and has made China a peaceful democracy and Japan a totalitarian, militaristic nation.
Life Shaped By History
To show this basic contrast, Dr. Hu pointed out how China has worked out its way of life from 600 B.C. when its creative art and philosophical development was at its height. At that time the naturalistic conception of government, laissez faire, was instituted. The ideal of a universal peace was fostered, and the idea of a classless society to be brought about by education began.
Personal Freedom Develops
On the other hand, Japan's totalitarianism is one of the slavish obedience and militarism, and in aspiration is fantastically imperialistic. The federal oligarchy of Japan is the basis for modern totalitarianism. Secret police, censorship, and the doctrine that the individual exists only for the state, are all early Japanese earmarks of today's dictator states, the ambassador contended.
Even in these early times the people were encouraged to speak out, the people being consciously recognized of supreme importance to the state. At this same time the idea of equitable distribution of wealth in society grew up.
The intellectual life in Japan i (continued to page eight)
"Peace and laissez faire have been conducive to individual freedom, and an almost anarchistic state developed," Dr. Hu continued. "The spirit of free criticism and doubt that has overthrown monarchy has brought about the political and social revolution and the cultural renaissance in China."
Modernism Will Take Spotlight
Tau Sigma, honorary dancing sorority, will present an hour and a half spring dance recital, "A Symphony in Motion," tomorrow evening at 8:15 in Fraser theater. The recital, an entire program demonstrated in modern dance, will be presented to the public free of charge.
Choreography and dance patterns have been worked out by members of the dance sorority and costumes for the dances will be original. Miss Melba Shilling, sponsor of the organization, has created, composed, and directed the performance of "A Symphony in Motion." Musical composition has been created for one of the dances on the program by Robert Palmer, a member of the University faculty.
Each dance number on the program is an interpretation of thought in movement. The first number will be an interpretation of Mozart's "Sonata I," done in three movements. The second number, "Begin The Beguine," will be a study in rhythm and syncopation. The next dance, "Incitation," will be an attempt to create a mood of wild excitement and hilarity, ending in total exhaustion. "The Dance Profane," will demonstrate the struggle between purity and sin, and "Goliwog's Cakewalk"

Feminine cattery—the sophisticated, Park Avenue kind—was presented last night in vindictive detail to a packed Fraser theater audience by a cast of 24 talented Hill actresses.
"The Women," a play not to confused with 'Little Women' " (as the programs humorously read) is a play for adults only in eleven scenes in which women subtly and pointedly insult each other, use questionable language, undress, and pull hair. But in spite of some of its risque (but clever!) lines, "The Women" was
Novelty Is Theme In Forums Broadcast
A new method of carrying on a group discussion will be innovated at the University by the Forums Board in its broadcast over KFKU tomorrow night at 9:30. Instead of formal speeches, the group will begin its discussion on "Your Liberties in War Time," before going on the air. After the discussion has continued for some time, the broadcast will start. No audience will be allowed in the studio.
Members of the group participating in the informal broadcast are: Keith Martin, John Waggoner, and Jim Surface, all college seniors; and Russell Baker and Merrill Peterson, college juniors.
MSCPushes Sale In Stamp Drive
The Men's Student Council began yesterday the Hill drive for the sale of war savings stamps and for the pledging of students to invest regularly in these government savings institutions—war stamps and bonds.
The major portion of the stamp sales and the signing of students to pledges is being carried on by the recently organized Co-ed Volunteer Corps, an organization of University women who have already pledged themselves to aid in the national
Phi Psi Wins Inter-Frat Sing Sunday
The men of Phi Kappa Psi were awarded first place by the judges in the inter-fraternity sing Sunday afternoon. Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi won second and third places, respectively.
This year's contest was the eighth since the custom was revived in 1935 by Phi Mu Alpha, professional music fraternity, which has sponsored it each year.
Phi Delta Theta, which won every contest until last year, and Sigma Chi, last year's winners, had been considered the favorites for the contest this year.
Led by Haworth White, college freshman, the Phi Psi's won with their presentation of the Alma Mater, their "Sweetheart Song," and the Marine Hymn, "From the Halls of Montezuma." The Beta's sang "Begin the Beguine," "Beta Loving Cup," and the Alma Mater. "The Sweatheart of Sigma Chi" and "Everything I Love" were the selections of Sigma Chi, besides the Alma Mater.
Joseph Williams, Oliver Hobbs, and Meribah Moore were the judges. Williams is choral director and Hobbs is band director for Lawrence Memorial high school; Miss Moore is associate professor of voice at the University.
Kansas Mineral Map Now Ready
An important map has just been issued by the State Geological Survey of Kansas and is now ready for distribution. This map shows, by means of various color patterns, the location and distribution of the important mineral resources of the state.
According to Prof. R. C. Moore, director of the geological survey, the map should lend valuable aid to the planning of new war industries in Kansas. Mineral resources shown on the map include: water, volcanic ash, clay, chalk, diatomaceous marl, bentonite, salt, wool rock, gypsum, stone, sand and gravel, oil, gas, coal, pyrite, chat, zinc, and lead.

The drive will continue through tomorrow, ending with a Defense Mid-Week tomorrow night in the Union ballroom.
Stamps and stamp albums are being sold at the newly erected booth in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, as well as by the various students who have volunteered to aid in the drive.
This plan of campaign on the campi of the various colleges and universities in the state is being formulated by state officials, with an eye on its success on this campus. K.U. is the first of the state's schools of higher education to carry on such a drive.
This pledge program, which is being carried on nationally under the auspices of the Treasury department, consists of signing a pledge certificate by the individual, pledging himself to purchase the figure of defense stamps or bonds that he feels he can afford, daily or weekly, throughout the national campaign, begun yesterday and lasting until May 20th.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., recently declared, "I have been much more interested in reaching vast numbers of individuals and in absorbing current income rather than accumulated savings in the banks. In this campaign there is no exemption for any group or any person. We must follow through not only in terms of a few million individuals or two or three billions of dollars, but by a determined effort to reach every individual in this country."
The student should bear it utmost in mind that to invest in war stamps and bonds is not at all a form of donation, but rather can be termed a wise investment even from the most mercenary point of view. Aside from and above the financial set-up of the stamp selling campaign is the fact that our government needs and must have money with which to carry on this very exhaustive war against the Axis powers. The government is giving each and every citizen of the country an opportunity to become a shareholder in the government merely by the voluntary purchase of dividend-paying stamps and bonds.
The staff members of the Jay-hawker will have their picture taken at 1 p.m. tomorrow on the steps of Dyche museum. All those students who have worked for the magazine are to be there.

FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Bandy - legged Milo Farnet brought Kansas its only pointers at the Drake Relays Saturday with a second in the javelin. He threw the shaft 192 feet 4 inches. At the Kansas Relays he tossed the javelin 185 feet 7 inches for second honors. He was beaten both times by Travis Cook of West Texas State . . . Farnet's performances at these two track carnivals mark him as the top spear thrower in the Big Six. Barring unforeseen mishaps, he should bring back first for the Jayhawk thinclads in the javelin throw from the Big Six meet in Lincoln next month . . . Don Pollom, who intended to run the 440 yard low hurdles at Drake, didn't get to compete in that event. As it turned out, the race was invitational, and Roy Cochran, ex-Indiana runner now wearing the colors of the Great Lakes Naval Training school, covered the barriers in 52.2 to clip 4 seconds off the old world record.
No Double Header
Although Kansas and Missouri were rained off the baseball field yesterday, they will clash in only one game today before the Tigers leave for home. It seems there is a Big Six ruling which states two seven inning ball games will be played on Saturday only when the Friday contest is postponed . . . No mention is made concerning double headers during the week, but because the rule was made to prevent conference schools playing twin contests on Friday, which would call starting the game before classes were over, it seems apropos to apply it in this particular case . . .
What the officials overlooked was the fact the double header rule was made by standard time. Under war time, the games could be started as usual at 3:30, and it would still be light late enough to stage two frays.
Formula For Fame
Lawson Robertson, who with Kansas track mentor, "Bill" Hargiss, and other outstanding cinder path experts, believes the tire shortage will produce better track men (make 'em walk more), has his own idea of what a successful thinclad should look like . . . Robertson, Penn track coach who tutored the United States squad to victory in the 1936 Olympics at Berlin, contends that you must have a "dirty" face, in a sallow sense, to be a great athlete . . . "Whenever a boy with pink cheeks reports to me," Robertson once said, "I have misgivings as to his potential ability. I like youth with a face devoid of color, one that you might call sallow—I call it dirty. Look at Fred Wolcott, Gregg Rice, Glenn Cunningham, and all the other great runners. None of them has rosy cheeks."
Here's a case of close army-navy co-operation.
The military dep't. of the University of California is giving a course in International Morse Code which is so crowded with navy reservoirs that ROTC students can't enroll.
So many students wished to take the course, given without university credit, that a priority system had to be worked out.
Rockhurst Is Foe Of Jays Thursday
Kansas' baseball team, which squares off against Missouri on the local diamond today in the Jayhawks' Big Six opener, will play Rockhurst College here at 3:30 Thursday afternoon.
In what is heralded as a pitcher's duel, coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's nine, with veteran Carl Forrest "Knute" Kresie on the mound, tangles with last seasons Big Six champions, Missouri, for whom Bill "Bobo" Spencer will hurl.
Today's game is the third conference contest for Missouri. The Bengals have split a pair with Kansas State, winning a 1-0 decision and dropping one game 3-0. In nonconference competition, Kansas has lost two close decisions to a veteran Ft. Leavenworth crew 3-1 and 8-7. Outside the Big Six Missouri had dropped Washington of St. Louis 10-0 and Central College 6-0 while losing to Jefferson Barracks 8-6. John Golson, Blaine Carr. Earl Con-
John Golson, Carry, Carl Corman Against Missouri's green infield of klin and Chris Fehr, Kansas will throw an experienced air tight fielding quart of John Krum, Marshall Hulett, Del Green, and T.P. Hunter. Behind the plate—Missouri with Ken Quevreaux and Kansas with Warren Hodges—will be two of the top-notch catchers of the conference.
Both teams depend on veteran material for the outfield. Patrolling the outer limits for the Tigers will be Russell Hoffman, Herb Gregg, and Jim Dimitriades. Doing fly chasing chores for the Jayhawks are Dean Martin, Larry Johnston, and Bob Innis.
Army Recruits Below Standard Says DeGroot
BY JACK WERTS
"The young men that are coming into the army are way below standard physically," states Second Lieutenant E. B. DeGroot, Jr., former University instructor who now is director of physical training in the U. S. 4. Air Force, in a letter to Dr. F. C. Allen, director of physical education and recreation at the University.

DeGroot came to the University in 1939 as an instructor in physical education. He is a graduate of Stanford University, where he was outstanding as a pole vaulter on the track team.
He asserts that the physiques, the vigor, and the general appearance of physical fitness of all German youths was amazing. He did not refer to the athletes, but to all the young men he saw throughout Germany, both in uniform and civilians.
CARL'S
GOOD CLOTHES
DeGroot backs his statement with a comparison. In the letter he draws a comparison between the physical condition of our student pilots and that of German youth from observations he made in Germany in 1938.
"The contrast of the general run of our school youth with those of Germany is distressing, to say the least." DeGroot contends. To further prove his point the director's letter states that he has seen thousands of recruits in air force recruit camps during the last nine months, and the general physical condition, the muscular development and the performance ability of these American youths is nothing to be proud of.
Physical education classes cannot
rectify the physical defects revealed in the draft examinations, says another part of the letter, because 4 per cent of the disqualifications are defective teeth, eyes and ears.
"It may be within the province of instructional hygiene to initiate the correction and to follow-up on the correction of such defects," the letter continues, "but how many schools and how many physical educators conduct a really vital academic course in hygiene which produces tangible results?"
DeGroot emphasizes the fact that physical educators in our high schools, colleges and communities must do the job of developing and maintaining a strong and completely physically fit youth.
He contends that even if the time devoted to physical conditioning in the army were tripled it is not hard to realize that such an act would not be sufficient to develop the type of physical condition desired, if the individual has not had years of physical developmental background.
Types of activities that the army is particularly advocating for its flying officers are those which will develop and maintain general all-around endurance or fitness, which involves a great deal of running.

Air Corps Officer Will Address Future Flyers
To college men who wish to continue their education as far as possible before entering active duty, the revised program offers an opportunity to enlist in the air force enlisted reserve on a deferred basis, and to continue their college courses through graduation before being
Major Malcolm Green, of the U. S. Army Air Corps, will be here Friday evening at 7 o'clock to conduct a meeting of all students interested in the Army's new Enlisted Reserve program for aviation cadets. The meeting will be held in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
The new set-up is a revised program of aviation cadet training based upon co-operation between the Army air forces and the schools and colleges of the country.
Dr. Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar, has been appointed coordinator of the new program at the University.
There are two plans to the new program, which is open to young men between the ages of 18 to 26 inclusive—one for those interested in immediate service with the air forces, and the second especially for college men who wish to continue their education as far as war conditions will permit. The first plan is not recommended for university students, who may wish to complete their present curricula. Applicants who desire to enlist for immediate service may take the Aviation Cadet physical and mental examinations and be enlisted for active duty immediately as privates in the army air forces, and earmarked for aviation cadet training as facilities become available.
Applicants for appointment as aviation cadets for training with the army air forces may be married or single, and must have been citizens of the United States for at least ten years prior to the date of application.

YOUR COLLEGE CAN NOW
HELP YOU BECOME A
NAVAL OFFICER
Freshmen, Sophomores,17 THRU 19. Enlist now! Stay in college! You may qualify for a Naval Commission on the sea or in the air.
Freshmen. Sophomores. Here's a challenge—and an opportunity! Your Navy needs trained men. Trained men to become Naval Officers! And your college is ready to give you that training now.
Here's New Navy Plan
If you're 17 and not yet 20, you enlist now as an Apprentice Seaman in the Naval Reserve. You then continue in college, including in your studies courses stressing physical training, mathematics and physics. After you successfully complete $1\frac{1}{2}$ calendar years of college work, you will be given a classification test.
Aviation Officers
If you qualify by this test, you may volunteer to become a Naval Aviation Officer. In this case, you will be permitted to finish the second calendar year of college work
before you start your training to become a Flying Officer.
However, at any time during this two-year period after you have reached your 18th birthday, you may, if you so desire, take the prescribed examination for Aviation Officer . . . and, if successful, be assigned for Aviation training. Students who fail in their college courses, or who withdraw from college, will also have the privilege of taking the Aviation examination.
Deck or Engineering Officers
If you qualify in the classification test and do not volunteer for
Aviation, you will be selected for training as a Deck or Engineering Officer. In that case, you will continue your college program until you receive your bachelor's degree, provided you maintain the established university standards.
Other Opportunities
If you do not qualify as either potential Aviation Officer or as potential Deck or Engineering Officer you will be permitted to finish your second calendar year of college and will then be ordered to active duty as Apprentice Seamen. But, even in this event, because of your college training, you will have a better chance for advancement.
Pay starts with active duty.
It's a real challenge! It's a real opportunity! Make every minute count by doing something about this new Navy plan today.

The KANSAN Comments...
Stamps and Bonds Will Win the War
The first three days of this week the Men's Student Council is making an all-out effort to obtain a voluntary pledge from every University student to aid in financing America's War for Survival.
Most of the stamp selling is handled by the recently organized Co-Ed Volunteer Corps, an organization of women who are aiding in the national wartime program. A booth stands in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, and from it members of the Corps sell defense stamps, albums, and tickets to the Defense Mid-Week, which is planned for Wednesday evening.
Cut out that afternoon coke. You don't need that mid-night snack. Candy isn't good for you, anyway. Each of us wastes money. Stop this waste and buy stamps and bonds.
The objectives of the Defense-or Victory if you prefer that term-Stamp Drive are: first, to make every student a definite share-holder in America; second, to raise money to meet the cost of war; third, money taken out of competition for consumer goods helps to prevent inflation. If a voluntary plan does not accomplish this, a compulsory plan may be necessary.
This is a chance for every student. Each contribution, no matter how small, brings victory closer.
Wartime economy demands more taxes, more work, more sacrifices, more money from bonds. Don't slack! Don't shirk! Buy stamps and bonds. America will win if we each do our part.
Parting of the Ways
By landing American troops on the French island of New Caledonia last Saturday, the United States served notice to the world that it has reached the parting of the ways with Hitler's hireling, Pierre Laval, and his bootlicking pro-Axis Vichy puppet.
While Vichy, clinging to the thin hope of prolonged quasi-amicable Americo-French relations, leaves its ambassador, Gaston HenriHaye, in Washington, the United States has ostensibly severed all diplomatic bonds. Soon after Laval's ascension to power two weeks ago, the United States recalled William D. Leahy "for consultations." Our government advised American citizens in France to leave the country, indicating Leahy was home to stay.
In control of New Caledonia are the Free French, who approved the landing of the American troops. The United States recognized the Free French occupation of the St. Pierre and Miquelon islands off the coast of Laborador four months ago, but to appease Vichy, our government gave the DeGaulists no material aid. The United States could have moved into New Caledonia a month ago on the legitimate grounds that the fall of Java exposed the island to the Japs; thereby threatening the American supply line to Australia. It is significant that our troops waited till Laval returned to power in France to complete the coup.
Vichy laid its cards on the table when it handed the puppet strings of state to Laval; it favors collaboration with Germany, notwithstanding the fact that many Frenchmen of the unoccupied area are inclined favorably toward the Allies. Washington laid its cards on the
table by sending a consul-general to Brazzaville in Free French Equitorial Africa. America now will overtly support the DeGaullists in any move they make against Hitler or Vichy.
Combined Free French-American forces may soon occupy the Vichy-held Wallis islands which lie on the communication route from the United States to Australia and the Marquesas islands which lie astraddle of the supply line from the Canal Zone to Australia. They may attack the strongly fortified Vichy bases on Martinique and Guadalope in the Caribbean. Even the strategic island of Madagascar off Africa's east coast may feel the fury of the United States navy.
Laval's rise to power precipitated the clouded Vichy-Washington relations into a complete diplomatic rupture. Vichy felt the first repercussion of this break when the United States moved troops into French territory for the first time last week. New Caledonia is but the first step. More Vichy satellites probably will fall under the domination of the Allies as Laval slips downhill toward Hitler's waiting arms.

The Men's Student Council has gone all-out for this symbol in its Savings Stamp drive this week.
Rock Chalk Talk DEAN SIMS
The Kaw Coettes last week held their regular guest-dinner, scheduled for 6 p.m. At five minutes before time for dinner to be served, the kitchen was approximately ten minutes behind schedule.
Genevieve Harman, college senior, was beating a pot of lemon-sauce and, at the same time, washing a series of pots and pans.
Suddenly, setting down her cake-sauce, Genevieve began madly scrubbing the pots. Grabbing the pan of lemon mixture, she poured the contents down the drain of the sink and immediately began polishing it.
It took only five seconds for cook Harman to discover her error—hastily she began another pot of lemon sauce. Spectators say she must have broken all records for whipping up that batch of stuff.
In Verdun Daste's Reporting II class yesterday, he lectured on various uses of the dash in connection with newspaper punctuation.
"Often times you can use the dash to great advantage in writing up track meets," commented Daste in his lecture.
Joy Miller, college sophomore, questioned, "Like in the 100-yard dash, Mr. Daste?"
"Uhhh, yes. Yes, there would be dash then dash after it—one dash coming after the other dash."
Miller commented after class that, "Dash it all, she still didn't understand what he meant."
Noticeable at the faculty dandelion diggings Friday p.m. was the number of masculine members confining their diggings to the vicinities bordering the sidewalks-on which traversed the numbers of comely high school drum majorettes.
(Maybe the "young" should be cut out of Tennyson's "In the spring a young man's fancy..."
Professor E. D. Hay, mechanical engineering, was discovered by his dandelion digging associates to be cheating. The "rapid digging" of Prof. Hay was finally discovered to be based on the fact that he carefully chose each plot of ground he dug on—only the portions of earth that were scantily dandelioned were worked on by the scheming prof.
The latest publicity gag coming out of the Rock Chalk Co-op House concerns the big race soon to be run by Bill Lane, junior engineer from McPherson, and Orville Kretzmeier, business senior from Clay Center. The marathonic event will come off next Sunday morning at 8 am. The scene will be the varsity track at the stadium.
The distance has been set at 15 miles (non-stop, 60 laps around the track).
The minimum time allowed each contestant is 3 hours.
So far, about $12 in bets have been placed one way or another on the possible outcomes of the event; the odds range from 4 to 1 to even money.

Parents to Campus For Festive Weekend
Collegians will welcome their parents to the campus when the University holds its Parent's Day program beginning Saturday afternoon and lasting through the evening. The various organized houses of the Hill will take over Sunday to see that the home-folk carry back with them only the most favorable opinion of the University.
Visiting parents will be registered at the Memorial Union building Saturday morning, according to present plans, by the Jay Janes and the KuKu's.
The parents will be entertained in the afternoon by the track meet with Kansas State, an all-student style and fashion show, and a tea to be given by the department of home economics. Following at 6 p.m. will be a buffet-supper in the Union ballroom at which Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Laurence Woodruff, newly appointed assistant registrar, will be the principal speakers.
Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women and chairman of the Parents' Day committee, stated yesterday that she wished to urge faculty members of the University to attend the banquet Saturday evening and meet as many of the parents as possible.
Miss Meguiar also stated that if, for some reason, a student's parents are unable to attend, he should feel free to invite other adults to take their places if so desired.
"It is only natural," commented Miss Meguiar, "that parents with students enrolled in the University have many questions to ask and have thoughts on which they would appreciate enlightenment by members of the actual teaching staff."
Tickets for the banquet Saturday evening may be purchased at the College business office or in the Union lounge until 5 p.m. Friday.
200 Alumni Attended Last Grad Round-Up Held Here This Year
The alumni round-up on the Hill Sunday attended by more than 200 alumni was the last to be held this year, according to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association.
During the afternoon, the alumni spent their time visiting Dyche museum and the dormitories and attending the inter-fraternity sing. A round-up barbecue was held at 6 o'clock and was followed with a showing of the movies taken last year of the seventy-fifth anniversary celebration.
At the evening meeting, Chancellor Deane W. Malott discussed the University's position in the present emergency, the Men's Glee Club performed, and Minerva Davis, fine arts senior, sang two solos.
Theta Sigma Phi To Initiate Thursday Of Press Women
Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary professional sorority for women in journalism, will hold initiation and pledging services Thursday afternoon. The ceremonies will be followed by the annual Matrix table, the annual dinner, all held in the Old English room in the Union building. Invitations are confined to members of the department of journalism.
Those to be initiated and pledged have not been announced and will not be until the time of the services.

First University Summer Council To Be Installed
The first University summer Men's Student Council will be installed on May 11, Vernon McKale, president, announced last night at the regular meeting of the Council in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
The establishment of a summer MSC on the Hill was the last legislative act of the 1941-42 Council which has just gone out of office. They deemed a summer organization necessary because of the increased enrollment and the extensive work of the war-defense committee.
McKale indicated that both parties would submit their slates of candidates within the next two weeks. Any member of the present Council who will be in summer school will, of course, keep his seat, and all vacancies will be filled by the party, which appointed the original representative.
These pro tem appointments will be effective only during the summer sessions. Original members who return to school next fall will resume their duties then.
The Council last night appropriated $135-$60 for the sponsorship of Parents' Day this spring, and $75 to the intramural board—and voted to help sponsor the Jayhawk Nibble and the Freshman Mixer during freshman week next fall.
Laird Campbell, Council chairman of the Hill waste paper contest, reported that the expiration date of the contest had been extended to May 16. It was originally scheduled to end this week.
Children's Collection In Exhibit
The best 94 children's books of the last five years, selected by the American Institute of Graphic Arts, are now being exhibited in Spooner-Thayer Museum under the sponsorship of the Parent Teachers Association, the Public Library, and the University department of design. The books will be exhibited for two weeks beginning yesterday.
This collection was first displayed last October at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. The showing here will be the first in Kansas and the first in a smaller town. The museum will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
Thursday afternoon at 4:30 T. D.
Jones, assistant professor of design,
will give an informal talk, describ-
ing the books and the book-making
process. On Monday at 8 p.m., Sara
Laird, associate professor of English,
will discuss the books from the lit-
erary angle.
The American Institute of Graphic Arts has each year selected the 50 best books for adults, but this is the first time they have selected the best children's books.
University of Michigan student organizations gave 637 parties during the 1940-41 school year.

Modernism Will-is an interpretation of DeBussey's composition created for the Children's Corner.
The last half of the program contains the "Skater's Waltz," and "Tideless," which portray objects that move in slow monotony and in a continuous pulse that goes on into infinity regardless of external confusion. "Satire on War," is a dance depicting the atmosphere of war based on the five big wars of the United States. Music arrangements for the dance were done by Ed Utley, fine arts sophomore. "Regimentation" is another dance interpreting the theme of war. The last number on the program, "The Tyrant" shows the inevitable fate of a tyrant who arises from the people, subjects them to his will, and then falls.
Accompanists for the recital will be Margaret Fultz, fine arts junior, Margaret Dunn, fine arts senior, and Ed Utley.
Hu Shih Says-limited. Scholars must not express doubt concerning the authenticity of the accepted myths of the country.
As a third point of contrast between China and Japan, Dr. Hu listed the ease and rapidity with which Japan has transformed herself into a first-rate military power overnight. No country but militaristic Japan could accomplish this change so quickly, Dr. Hu said. Japan with its tradition of expansion and world conquest is the enemy of China.
Dr. Hu concluded his address with a summary reiteration of the fact that the conflict in the East was between two diametrically opposed ways of life, and was a part of the world's struggle for democracy and peace. The Chinese, emphasized their ambassador, are fighting to preserve a way of life precious to them.
Kansas Mineral--
In addition to this group of raw materials, the location of trunk pipe lines for oil, gas, and gasoline are shown. Locations of plants and industrial establishments utilizing raw materials also are shown. These include refineries, natural gasoline plants, gypsum mills, salt plants, cement mills, potteries, brick and tile plants, plants producing asphalt, helium, pyrite, rock wool and carbon black, lead smelters and coal washing plants.
Assembled on one map, they represent all the varied resources and processing establishments in Kansas and illustrate the importance of Kansas as a mineral-producing state.
The map indicates that many of the mineral resources which the state contains in abundance are developed only to a small extent, or are totally undeveloped. In the present emergency the wide variety and abundance of mineral resources of Kansas, together with its geographic position, make it a strategic locale for essential war industries.
Critic Raves--real. The true theme of "The Women," though, is men—how to handle them, humor them, or divorce them.
Countess De Lage who had learned something new in each of her five marriages, was almost sensational, receiving applause upon her exit from the stage in this and a subsequent scene.
Jane Beal's leading role of Mary Haines grew steadily better after the first scene, and by the middle of the play the audience was wholeheartedly on the side of Mary, the mistreated but loving wife. Miss Beal did not let her histronics become theatrical; instead, she gave an effective, moving portrayal.
College junior Emma Louise Niedermeyer looked and acted a cuddy 10-year-old so effectively that the majority of the audience thought she had been brought from Pinckney Grade School. Butler was perfect as the wise-about-men mother of Mary Haines; Mary Cheney was effective as the usually expectant Edith Potter; and Comora MacGregor, the gossipy little manicurist, was excellent in a small role.

"the cause of it all," the other woman, Crystal Allen, made realistic by Martha Alice Horner. In an unsympathetic role, Miss Horner does her best to make Crystal unpopular—and succeeds.
Every actress down to the smallest "bit" player did an accomplished piece of work, which shows that it takes women to put a play across, and that Allen Crafton was on his toes. Acting Outscores the Plot
The plot of the play is somewhat meager. Its success has been due to its acid-etched characterizations of women, its witty dialogue and the unusualness of an all-women cast. It doesn't pull a punch, and if the women in "The Women" aren't altogether lovely, they are at least very
Acting Outscores the Plot
The story is concerned with how one woman, sincerely in love with her husband, is caused by the sophisticated tale-telling of her "friends" to divorce him in his one temporary lapse of fidelity and finally wins him back. Divorces and remarriages of her "friends" are side-issues of the play.
Therefore if women were exposed in Fraser theater last night, the glaring faults and indispensability of men were laid bare, too. Clare Booth has spared neither sex in "The Women," thereby making the theater-goer spend an enjoyable two hours seeing himself as a talented play-write sees him.

Tittle Is Speaker For Baccalaureate
Dr. Ernest Fremont Tittle, pastor of the First Methodist Church at Evanston, Ill., has been chosen as baccalaureate speaker at the University, May 31, Chancellor Deane W. Malot announced today.
Dr. Tittle, who will be a feature of the seventieth annual commencement exercises to be held on Mt. Oread, is widely known as an educator and as a writer in addition to having achieved distinction in the ministerial field.
Among his published books are "The Lord's Prayer;" "Christians in an Unchristian Society;" "A Way to Life;" "A World that Cannot be Shaken;" "Jesus After Nineteen Centuries;" "The Foolishness of Preaching;" "The Religion of the Spirit;" and "What Must the Church Do To Be Saved?"

Will Explain Air Corps Reserve Plan to K.U. Men
A meeting of all University men interested in the new Army Air Corps deferment plan and the Air Force Enlisted Reserve will be held Friday evening at 7 o'clock in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall. Major Malcolm Green, Jr., of Will Rogers airport, Oklahoma City, Okla., will speak, and movies of a late March of Time on army developments in aviation will be shown.
This new deferment plan, the first offered by the Army, is mainly for the purpose of obtaining better educated men for the service, as well as enabling college students to finish school if they wish to do so. Students enlisting in this Air Corps Reserve will be allowed to complete their education, and upon leaving school will be sent to regular U. S. air force bases as cadets. They will then go into air force training and will have an opportunity to compete for commissions in the same manner as other aviation cadets.
Major Green will be at the University again on May 16th when all those interested in enlisting will be interviewed and passed by the University board, headed by Colonel James S. Dusenbury of the department of military science.
While the newspapers announce the facts of the crime, the murderer goes casually singing. "I'm a pretty little feller—mighty lak" a rose.

"Night Must Fall"Monday Murder in Fraser
Murder will take the spotlight in Fraser theater Monday night when the curtain rises on the Dramatic Workshop's one night presentation, "Night Must Fall." The play will start at 8:15 p.m., and admission will be 25 cents plus tax.
"Wealthy Widow Found Murdered" or "Body Found Buried in Rubbish Pit" are the headlines of the papers in Forrest Corners, England, where the play takes place. Among the eight players taking part in the play is the murderer of a wealthy widow. A second murder follows in which the audience actually watches the criminal at work.
Bramson's Cockney maid, really causes all the trouble by bringing her boy friend to see Mrs. Bramson. Mrs. Bramson intends to make Dan, the boy friend, marry her maid, as she (the maid) is going to have an illegitimate child. Dan has other ideas, however, and before the hardboiled Mrs. Bramson can tell him anything, Dan has completely won her by his charming and fascinating manner.
The play is spiced with humor by Hubert Laurie, a friend of Mrs. Bramson's niece, Olivia, who is an unmitigated bore and admits it. The play is neatly balanced between humor and tragedy as the story reaches a climax in the last scene. The action of the play takes place in the household of Mrs. Bramson, a wealthy widow. The setting is in old English furniture and background. All furniture and settings will be constructed by students.
Harlan Cope, college sophomore director of the play, said, "It's a fine play and a good cast. There's no reason why it shouldn't be a success. At least we'll try."

The law requiring registration states any person, 18 years of age or over, who has left home to attend college, should apply for and get his own rationing book in the town in which he is residing during the school year. The student's father or mother cannot apply for him as a member of the family unit.
The student attending college, who has not yet reached the age of 18, and who is not a member of a family unit, must have his father, mother, or legal guardian file the application for him.
If the student is residing and taking his meals in an organized house, he will receive war ration sugar stamps at the same time he receives his war ration coupon book. In this way the house manager will then be able to purchase the amount of sugar needed for the entire group.

The Greatest Air Army in the World Needs Flight and Ground Crew Officers
NOW_FOR COLLEGE MEN_A NEW OFFICERS' TRAINING PLAN
- New Deferred Service Plan Allows You to Continue Your Education
--will be interested in the requirements for Armaments, Communications, Engineering Meteorology, Photography. If you have engineering experience your chances of getting a commission are excellent.
In the skies over America the mightiest air fleet in the history of the world is mobilizing for victory!
So fast is it growing that there is a place here—an urgent need here—for every college man in America who can qualify for Officer's Training.
MANY BRANCHES OF SERVICE
The U. S. Army Air Forces need Flying Officers and Ground Crew Officers. And many of them must come from the ranks of today's college students - men who make their plans now for the necessary Aviation Cadet training.
There are also commissions awarded in ground crew service. College men particularly
In 8 months you can win an officer's commission as a bombardier, navigator or pilot and be well started on your way to serve America and advance yourself in aviation.
$75 A MONTH DURING TRAINING
Those accepted who wish immediate duty will go into training as rapidly as facilities permit. As an Aviation Cadet, you are paid $75 a month, with subsistence, quarters, medical care, uniforms, equipment, traveling expenses.
You must meet the requirements for physical fitness, of course. In addition, you take a new simplified test to determine your ability to grasp the training. A college man should pass it easily.
Thanks to a newly created Air Force Reserve plan, men of all classes-aged 18 to 26 inclusive can enlist for immediate service or continue the scholastic work required for graduation before being called to active duty.
--will be interested in the requirements for Armaments, Communications, Engineering Meteorology, Photography. If you have engineering experience your chances of getting a commission are excellent.
THREE ENLISTMENT PLANS FOR COLLEGE MEN
Juniors—Sophomores—Freshmen May Continue Their Education
1. A new plan allows Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, aged 18 to 26, inclusive, to enlist in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve and continue their schooling, provided they maintain satisfactory scholastic standings.
All College Men May Enlist for Immediate Service
2. All college students may enlist as privates in the Army Air Forces (unassigned) and serve there until their turns come for Aviation Cadet training.
Upon graduation or withdrawal from college, men will be assigned to active duty at a training center as facilities become available.
3. All college students may enlist in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve and wait until they are ordered to report for Aviation Cadet training.
If the necessity of war demands, the deferred status in the Army Reserve may be terminated at any time by the Secretary of War.
The new Army Air Force Reserve Plan is part of an overall Military Battledore Reserve Corps program shortly to be acquired. The program will provide opportunities for college men to enter in other branches of the Army on a deferred basis and to continue their education through graduation if a satisfactory standard of work is maintained. In case of necessity the Secretary of War shall determine when they may be called to active duty.
It is understood that men so enlisted will have the opportunity of competing for vacancies in officer's candidate schools.
This plan has been approved in the belief that continuation of education will develop capacities for leadership. (Reserve enrollment will not apply to offerings regarding established R.O.T.C. plans.)
This past year about 80% of all Aviation Gadets were commissioned as Second Lieutenants—about 67% as flying officers. Those who do not qualify remain in the Air Forces on an enlisted status and have further opportunities.
5
As a Second Lieutenant on active duty with the Army Air Forces, your pay ranges from $183 to $245 a month.
ACT AT ONCE
If you want to fight for America, this is where your blows will count.
If you want the best training in the world, and years of solid achievement in aviation—the great career field of the future—this is where you belong. Your place is here—in the Army Air Forces.
If you plan to enlist immediately, start getting your necessary papers ready for the Aviation Cadet Examining Board when it meets in your locality. For complete information, see your Faculty Air Force Advisor. You can take your mental and physical examinations the same day you apply. Get further information now.

FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
There can be little doubt about Missouri's having the better ball club on the diamond Tuesday, but the 11-3 drubbing which the Bengal's handed the Jayhawkers doesn't show the comparative strength of the two teams by any means . . . Not one of the runs the Bengals marked up in the first stanza was earned. A walk and two errors put the Jayhawks out of the race right from the beginning. While Knute Kresie was showing far below par control in walking five men, Mizzou hurlers Bill Spencer and sophomore Stewart Finlayson never were in hot water all afternoon . . . It is no accident that Bill "Bobo" Spencer has lost only two Big Six ball games in his three seasons as a Tiger twirler. While he momentarily lost his control in the third inning, he managed to whiff six Kansas batters in the short span of four innings. Fifth Inning Set To
Fifth Inning Set-To
Only alteration of the contest came in the fifth inning when umpire "Doc" Bice called Mizzou's soph batting sensation, Earl Conklin, out on what would have gone for a triple, had he confined his batting activities to the batter's box . . . Conklin, who swings from the portside, had been warned about stepping forward out of the batter's box to swing at Kresie's pitches. He connected with one, ran it out for a triple only to be waved to the bench. Said ump Bice, "Yer out; you stepped out of the box." (Batter is automatically out upon hitting pitch when not in batter's box). Said Conklin, "I ain't; my foot wasn't touching the ground outside the box when I hit the ball." (the claimed his foot was in mid-air as he stepped into the pitch; that he hit the ball before his foot touched terra firma.) . . . If Conklin was correct, he is the first batter in history who keeps his batting average high by standing on one foot to swing. He had an average of better than .700 before the game—and using a one-footed stance too; think how his average would soar if he would solidly implant both hooves on the ground before swinging (as if he doesn't already!) . . . Playing second base for Missouri in the last inning was little Tadao Murashige, a native of Lihue Kauai, Hawaii. On the Missouri campus he is known as "Charlie Chan."

Phi Delt's Down Newman Stay in Softball Race]
BY PAUL MOSER
In the games played Tuesday the race was once more narrowed down to a race between the two top teams in each division. The resulting winners were: Phi Delt, Sig Alph, Phi Gam, Alpha Chi Sigma, Battenfeld Hall, and Theta Tau.
Phi Delt 5, Newman 1
In the feature game of the afternoon the Phi Delt's edged out the Newman Club, 5 to 1. Ray Evans hurled for the winners and Ralph Shapley was on the mound for the losers.
Starting in the first inning the Phi Delt's scored two runs on walks to John Wells, Dan Huebert, and Bill Walker and a sharpt two base hit by Evans. They gathered two more runs in the second on walks to Herb Kauffman and John Lynch, followed by hits by Dean Huebert and Walker. The scoring was ended in the fifth successive doubles by Walker and Forrest Wilson.
The only run scored y the Newman Club came in the second when Bill Passmore singled, stole second and third, then went home on a wild pitch by Evans.
The box:
Phi Delt ... 220 010 0 5 8 1
Newman ... 010 000 0 1 3 1
Batteries: Phi Delt, Evans and Huebert; Newman, Shapley and Hedrick.
Sig Alph 22. Sigma Nu 9
The Sig Alph's stayed in the race for a position in the playoff's by soundly thumping the Sigma Nu's, 22 to 9. Jack Walton was on the mound for the winners and Warren Israel pitched for the losers.
The Sig Alph's built up a 15-run lead in the first inning. Walks to Kenneth Winters, Jack Ballard, Bill Kern, Jack Walton, and Kenny Thompson, intermingled with two hits by Lynn Williams, two by Jerry Dawson, and singles by Jerry Ewers, John Gage, and Jim Dominick, produced their runs.
They collected two more in the second on a walk to Thompson followed by hits by Ballard and Kern. In the third, Dawson, Gage, and Dominick collected blows to produce two more runs. The Sig Alph scoring ended in the fifth with three runs.
The Sigma Nu's scored two runs in the first on hits by Bill Rolfe and Bob Goodell, and three Sig Alph errors. Hits by Boomer Collins, Bedford Berrey, Goodell, Israel, and John Cleverly produced three runs in the third, and hits by Joe Brown, Alan Kennard, Collins, and Berrey produced another in the

Missouri's rampaging Tigers clawed out an 11-3 Big Six baseball triumph over an error-plagued Jayhawk crew here last Tuesday.
Bengals Smother Kansas Nine 11-3
The Mizzou batsmen lit on the offerings of Knute Kresie for 12 hits, including a double by Ken Quevreaux and a triple by John Golson. Kansas garnered one hit off the Bengal's Bill "Bobo" Spencer in four innings and six safeties off Stewart Finlayson who worked five frames for the Tigers.
Kresie fanned nine men, gave up five walks. Spencer struckout six batters and Finlayson two; Spencer yielded two bases on balls with Finlayson giving up one. The Jayhawks had five errors chalked against them with four against the Bengals. Shaky Kansas Start
A wobbly Kansas initial inning gave Missouri three tallies on 2 hits and a pair of errors. Leadoff man for Missouri, Herb Gregg, walked, went to third on an error in handling Golson's blow. Russ Hoffman banged out a single to score Gregg.
Trying to score on Hoffman's hit, Golson was trapped between third and home by Marshall Hulett's peg to Jayhawk catcher Warren Hodges who with John Krum executed the out. Earl Conklin made first on a fielders choice and Ken Quevreaux got a base on an error. Preston Nevins gathered a hit to score Conklin before the attack sagged.
Tigers Rage In Fourth
With two down in the fourth stanza, Clarence Difani walked, Spencer hit, and Gregg rapped out a single to score Difani and Spencer. Gregg stole second, came home on Golson's hit. In attempting to stretch his blow to a double, Golson was nipped at second.
Kansas pushed across its first talley in the sixth inning when Hodges hit, reached third on Kresie's single, and came home as Hulett was thrown out at first. Krum scored for the Jayhawks in the last of the seventh.

Court Martial Trial Held By Law Class
The all-University course of Military Law held a practice general court martial trial last night in Green hall. The purpose was to demonstrate the procedure in conduct of general court martial in trial of military offense. The case considered was one involving purely military offense—a charge for desertion laid under the 58th article of war.
Students participating in the practice trial were: Edwin Westhausen third year law, as president of the court; Samuel Prager, second year law, as the trial judge advocate; Milton T. Allen, third year law, as the defense council; Bill Morrison, business senior, as assistant defense council; John Morgan, business senior, as assistant trial judge advocate; Thomas Freeman, third year law, as service investigation officer; Leo Kerdorf, third year law, as reporter for the court. The other members of the class served as members of the court.
This course is not directly connected with the law school. The class is open to all advanced students in the college and other departments. It is an all-University course, open to advanced students interested in laws of war.

Charlie, whose forte is piling in the goals for "Phog" Allen's court men, nonchalantly cleared 11 ft. 8in., tossed the javelin 165 ft. 5 in., and sailed the platter 122 ft. 2 in., to take those events.
He also placed in shot put and broad jump . . .

With these two decathalon potentials on the team, Kansas track outlook should take on a brighter hue.

The KANSAN Comments...
Wet or Dry—It's the Same
The repeal of prohibition in December, 1933, fell short of settling the pressing problem of liquor control in the United States. Rather, it opened the way to a multitude of new ones. The issue immediately became one of concern to every state legislature, to every local governmental unit, to the federal government, to individuals.
Regardless of individual attitudes on the problem, the issue today is no longer the social denial of drink. It is the form and extent of regulation and control. Every community is striving to realize its ideal of regulation, to balance the forces of its wet and dry elements, to gain as much as possible of the income of the liquor traffic, or to grapple with some other aspect of the problem, so old and yet so new.
The first result of repeal were confusion of state and local laws and regulations. Hasty and experimental control was undertaken in many communities and enforcement ranged from strict control to extreme laxity. Changes were constant. Officials, politicians, and liquor interests became active everywhere.
Now, nearly ten years later, much confusion remains. There are conflicts between local, state, and federal control advocates. There are conflicts between W.C.T.U.members and human nature. There are conflicts between narrow and hard minded drys and the liquor interests. There are social and economic conflicts.
New liquor control systems are being evolved and developed in some of our states, in Canada, in Sweden, in other countries of the world. America's problem is great. America is a big country of many differing peoples, many differing customs, many differing ideals. But regardless of these complications, a proper system could and should be worked out. It is time for unbiased study of the situation. It is time a liberal and socially and economically sound system of liquor control was evolved.
-J.K.
To report a case of treason—Among our contributions to Evanston's scrap metal collection was a pound of linotype slugs, carrying two stanzas of verse, riveted together as a paper weight. Half an hour after it had been placed on the rubbish heap at our front door, to wait for the collector's wagon, it was treasonably stolen by some Benedict Arnold of a souvenir hound, probably aged from 6 to 12 years.—Chicago Tribune.
Marketing Quotas
Wheat growers of Kansas will cast ballots Saturday to vote either for or against wheat marketing quotas. This referendum is to decide on the plan for this year. In 1941, farmers voted to market their wheat crop under the quota system, and those who didn't comply were penalized 49 cents for each bushel marketed in excess of their quota. If you have an interest in a farm which has over 15 acres of wheat seeded and a normal production of over 200 bushels, you are eligible to vote.
There was considerable red tape to contend with no matter how you sold your wheat. Many of the independent-thinking farmers didn't like it any way they looked at it. However, those who were penalized 49 cents a bushel (about one-half the selling price) will be reluctant to vote against the quota system.
If a farmer over-seeds a fraction of an acre
or more, he is not eligible for a wheat loan even if the quota system is voted in. Wheat storage loans put a floor under the domestic price and help protect farmer's income derived from wheat. These loans permit farmers to market their wheat in an orderly manner, and by establishing reserve supplies, minimize the chance of having to import wheat in short crop years. Many farmers, who are able to survive the complications involved in becoming eligible for a loan, take this means of getting ready money for their crop and are, at the same time, on hand for higher selling prices if the price of wheat goes up. As long as you have seeded your farm within your allotment, all your wheat is free wheat.
There is, of course, much speculation concerning the outcome of this balloting and it will be of vital significance to the farmers. It will effect not only this year, but the years to come. Whether farmers shall continue to be independent individuals or an organized unit depends on the farmers themselves.
If they choose organization, should it be under government regulation That is the question that farmers are considering as they contemplate the Saturday trip to the quota poll.

In conjunction with an assemblage of the recently formed Co-Ed Volunteer Corps, leader of the organization Jill Peck called the Chi Omega house and requested that all members there please meet in a body behind the cadaver building (place where medical students whittle on some of our deceased) that evening.
The Chi Omega's met behind the cadaver building at the designated time—but not in a body.
The women of Kappa Alpha Theta received a disappointment Monday night. A box of candy (usual sign of someone's pin being put out) was displayed at dinner. The dining room fairly hummed with curiosity, guesses, premonitions, and wagers on the subject of who was going to be pinned to whom and why.
Came time for the announcement—the card was read—"Loads of thanks for a lovely week-end, from a hopeful rushee."
the crest-fallen co-eds finished their dinner in silence.
Kappa Sig's Harold Dumler, business senior from Russell, and Merrill Jones, fine arts junior from Greensburg, arrived at the conduit that the dormitory on the east side of the house (where all the freshmen are quartered) was much too noisy at night so they decided to sleep there Monday night and keep a little order.

A tiny pin-hole in a telephone cable can admit moisture, causing short circuits and service interruptions. But Bell System men have found a way of beating this trouble to the punch.
They charge the cable with dry nitrogen under pressure. Then should a leak develop, the escaping gas keeps moisture out. Instruments on the cable detect the drop in pressure . . sound an alarm at a nearby station...indicate the approximate location of the break. A repair crew is quickly on its way.
To maintain and improve America's all-important telephone service,men of the Bell System are constantly searching for the better way.Pioneering minds find real opportunity in telephone work.

Will Complete M.I. Lab By December
plishments, Harris is in demand as a speaker, having addressed such institutions at Stanford University, the University of Michigan, Michigan State, Columbia University, Juliillard School of Music, Boston University, New York University, Mills College, and others. The University of Kansas will be added to this list next week.
Construction of the new Mineral Industries building is progressing rapidly and on schedule, according to J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering. Concrete has been laid and walls completed on the first and second floors, and work is being started on the third. Barring bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, the building will be completed by the end of December this year, Dean Jakosky stated.
The building is being financed by a legislative grant of $408,500. Of this, $360,000 will go for construction of the building itself and the remaining $48,000 will be used for equipment.
A new observatory will be erected on the roof to replace the one in the old wooden observatory, which will be torn down and its equipment placed in the new building.

Roy Harris, who will help the University observe Music Week by addressing the convocation Monday morning on "Music and People," ranks today as one of the very first creative minds in American composition.
In addition to his speech, Harris will be presented in Hoch auditorium next Thursday night on the Gala Concert, leading the University band and symphony orchestra in several of his own numbers, while the A Cappella choir under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout will $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $
of Dean D. M. Swarthout will present some of his choral selections.
Roy Harris is a mid-westerner by birth, claiming Oklahoma as his native state. He was born of Scotch-Irish pioneers in a log cabin on the Cimarron frontier. In his youth he attended public school while spending long hours on the farm. Piano lessons from his mother, who "played by ear," encouraged him to seek musical self expression. At the age of 25, he decided to make music his life work.
Rockets To Fame
Somewhat later he took up the study of composition and theory under such teachers as Arthur Farwell and Nadia Boulanger. His rise to prominence has been sudden and rapid. A dozen years ago Harris was scarcely known as a composer, yet today he is among America's most important names in contemporary music.
Twice Harris has received a Guggenheim fellowship. In the 1935-36 poll for American composers by the Columbia Broadcasting company he received the highest vote—and the same honor on a similar poll conducted by Scribner's.
Harris' published compositions include four symphonies, three symphonic essays, any number of string quartet and quintet, string orchestra selections, and an imposing list of choral numbers, including a symphony for voices, based on poems of Walt Whitman.
To Perform Symphony
His Third Symphony has the distinction of having been performed 11 times in the last three years by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Derge Koussevitzky. During this time it has enjoyed 38 performances, including an N. B. C. broadcast by Toscanini.

The theme of the revue will be "what a freshman girl at college wears." Following the fashion show at 3 p.m. the mothers (and fathers too, if they desire to come) will be guests of the department of home economics at a tea to be held in the dining room, 12 Fraser hall. The wartime conservation of certain food articles will be featured at the tea; the saving of sugar and the many practical uses of whole wheat will be featured. Also, instead of using tea or coffee for refreshment, a substitute known as "if life turns nugget" will be served.
A buffet-supper will be held at 6 p.m. in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. The program here will be featured by brief talks on the University and its plans for the wartime emergency by Chancellor Deane W Malott and Laurence Woodruff, assistant registrar. The faculty of the School of Fine Arts will also entertain with a violin solo by Waldemar Gelth, professor of violin; a vocal duet by Miss Irene Peabody and Joseph F. Wilkins, professors of voice; and the University string quartet.
Dr. F, C. Allen will act as toast-master at the buffet-supper.
The mothers of University students whose home are in Lawrence will act as hostesses at the tables situated in the ballroom.
Miss Nadine Hunt, college junior, will discuss with the parents at the buffet-supper the various student aids that are provided through the several agencies of the University.
Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, advisor of women and chairman of the general Parents' Day committee, stated that she hoped the faculty members and the townspeople of Lawrence and vicinity would make plans to attend the buffet-supper in the Union building and endeavor to talk with the parents concerning the University and its students.

CLARK TALKS---ties of war, and the need for unifying our nation for a long war.
(continued from vage one) will have on the stability of our social structure, the need for adapting our institutions to the necessities of war, and the need for unifying our nation for a long war.
"How did America react to the opening phases of war?" Clark will ask. He will describe the stability of our nation under the initial onslaught, how Pearl Harbor acted as a catalyst in speeding up the adaptive processes and social integration of the American people, and what the people feel about the whole thing.
The influence of inflation and other effects of diverting much of national production to meet war requirements, the social aspect of militarizing the nation for all-out war, and other social problems caused by the emergency will be discussed.
STUDENTS MUST GET--makes little difference to them now the outer side of the house sleeps. (Dumler was treated at the University hospital Tuesday for a twisted back.)
(continued from page one) since each will be valid only between specified dates. Stamp No. 1 will be good between the dates of May 7 and May 17.
Students taking their meals in restaurants, boarding houses or similar places, and who have no intention of buying sugar, will also be issued war ration books. This book, as are all ration books, may be used later for other products which may be rationed. If the student wishes, his housemother, landlady, or any responsible adult may register for him.
The registration and issuing of the first war ration books to University students will be supervised by the Douglas county superintendent of public schools.
The place of registration will be open from 2:30 to 6 in the afternoon, and from 7 to 9 in the evenings during the four specified days.
ROCK CHALK TALK--makes little difference to them now the outer side of the house sleeps. (Dumler was treated at the University hospital Tuesday for a twisted back.)
(Continued from page 6)
Upperclassmen were jolted awake around midnight by a terrible racket in the east dorm. It was presumed that officers Dumler and Jones were disciplining the unruly freshmen.
The noise continued intermittently until after 2 a.m.
Dumler and Jones returned to their own side of the house at 3 a.m., after spending a few harrowing hours of being thrown out of bed, slugged from behind, and subjected to various other forms of barbaric torture.
Peace-loving H. Dumler and M. Jones have publicly agreed that it makes little difference to them how the other side of the house sleeps.
The Kappa's held a private and very localized Dandelion Day Tuesday evening on their own lawn. In order to create interest, the house offered a pack of cigarets to the member digging the dandelion with the longest root. Nancy Clark, sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., pried out the weed with the longest root and received the pack of fags.
The Dandelion-digging was abruptly halted when one KKG noticed a large and wriggling earthworm on the ground, no doubt come out to investigate the cause of so much disturbance.
They fled to ground uninhabited by the fish-worms and held a picnic.

"SHEPHERD OF THE OZARKS"
Miss Melba Schilling, sponsor of the organization, had created, composed, and directed the "Symphony in Motion," which might be called a home-made production. Musical compositions on the program, not adapted from well-known classics, were written by Robert Palmer, a member of the School of Fine Arts faculty.
"CODE OF THE OUTLAW"
Fluid grace, whirling gyrations, and interpretative movement were demonstrated on the modern dance program. Choreography and dance patterns had been worked out by members of the sorority and costumes for the dances were original.
PLUS
The first half of the program began with an interpretation of Mozart's "Sonata I," done in three movements. The ever-popular Cole Porter number, "Begin the Beguine," was a brilliant study in syncopation and rhythm, "Incitation," the next dance created a mood of wild excitement and hilarity, ending in total exhaustion. The struggle between purity and sin was demonstrated in a moving number called "The Dance Profane." The first half ended with a clever dance interpretation of Debussy's "Golliwog's Cakewalk."
Thought put into motion was the accomplishment of Tau Sigma, honorary dancing sorority, at its hour and a half spring dance recital, "A Symphony in Motion," held in Fraser Theater last night.

The last half of the program presented the graceful "Skaters' Waltz," and a slow, monotonous, continuous pulse, which went on into infinity regardless of external confusion, entitled "Tideless."
One of the most unique of the dance routines was "Satire on War," a timely dance depicting the atmosphere of war based on the five big wars of the United States. Ed Utley, fine arts sophomore, did a splendid job of arranging music for the dance.
Along the same theme, followed "Regimentation," and the program closed with "The Tyrant," showing the inevitable fate of a tyrant who rises from the people.

Defense Stamp Sales Continue
The "Buy a Share in America" drive, begun Monday by the Men's Student Council, will be continued until May 4, Max Webster, chairman of the committee in charge, announced today. It had been previously planned to end the campaign yesterday. The drive will be carried on by the recently organized Co-ed Volunteer Corps.
It is planned that only until Monday, May 4, will the actual canvas-ving of the campus in quest of stamp buyers be continued, but the selling of the stamps to students who have signed the pledge certificates will be carried on.
So that the fulfillment of the pledge signed by the student can be easily kept, the C.V.C. plans to appoint platoon sergeants from its midst, each sergeant being responsible for the sale of stamps in one organized house.
Students who have not signed a certificate pledging themselves to buy a certain number of defense stamps each week, and who wish to do so, may receive such a certificate from a member of the C.V.C.
The defense stamp and pledge certificate drive as temporarily terminated yesterday was stated to be very successful.
