107 Donate Blood To Red Cross
Two organizations, Pi Beta Phi sorority and Newman club, Catholic young people's society, have pledged their entire membership as blood donors.
In the belief that other groups would wish to join the 100 per cent donor societies, the Red Cross announced today that students and faculty members*
who want to donate blood may call 803, its headquarters in Lawrence, within the next week. Advising that release blanks for parental consent for those under 21 are available at the University hospital, Dr. Ralph I. Cauntson urged that students call before Saturday noon.
CVC, headed by Jean Hoffman,
College junior, and the Joint WSGAMSC committee, headed by George Worral, College sophomore, are calling all organized houses on the Hill and asking for blood donors.
Students and Faculty Participate
Sixty students and 47 faculty and staff members have volunteered for the Red Cross blood bank which will have a unit at the Community building April 8 and 9. The list of donors which follows does not include those who have volunteered to give blood collected at Watkins Memorial hospital for civilian use.
Student donors are Donald Young, William Park, Nelda Budde, Roberta Johnson, Ruth Blethen, Marjorie Houston, Alice Timpe, Mary Louise McNown, Bill Dixon, Connie Her-

Army and Navy Exam on Friday
Students wishing to enlist in some Naval Reserve program before next fall will have their last chance at 9:00 tomorrow morning in Fraser theater where A. H. Turney, professor of education, will give applicants the A-12 examination.
That the members of the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps are advised to take this examination was indicated in a statement from army headquarters at Omaha, Laurence Woodruff, co-ordinator of military information, said today.
The examination is scheduled to last two hours; because of preliminaries, students should not expect to finish until sometime after 11 o'clock. Turney announced.
High school students will also take the examinations.
Youth Groups Plan To Relieve Shortage Of Farm Workers
In an attempt to work out a plan for supplying youth labor to the farmers, Governor Schoeppel conferred yesterday with Dean H. Umberger, of the extension division of Kansas State College, and Lawrence Norton, chairman of the USDA War Board in Kansas.
Commencement Plans For 1943 Are Announced
A general program for 1943 commencement has been outlined by H. G. Ingham, director of the Extension division.
Plans for Sunday, May 16, include: Commencement programs in the churches at 11 a.m.; class and group reunion dinners at 1 p.m.; the University reception in the Union lounge at 2:30; premiere showing of the movie, "KU in the War," in the Kansas room at 3 and at 3:40; commencement recital of the School of Fine Arts in Hoch auditorium at 4:20; and baccalaureate services in Memorial stadium at 7.30.
On graduation day itself, Monday, May 17, the following events are scheduled: Class of 1943 breakfast in the Union building at 8:15; the annual Almuni Association meeting in Fraser at 9:45; the University luncheon in the Union building at 12:15; Phi Beta Kappa annual meeting at 4 p.m.; and commencement exercises in the stadium, with the Naval Training group participating also, at 7:30.
Constitution Receives Light Vote at Noon
With only a small number of students appearing at the polls this morning to vote on the new student government constitution, evidence early this afternoon still indicated that the total vote would be light.
A total of only 208 ballots were cast at the three polling places by early afternoon. Women and men cast nearly the same number of ballots, women students marking 105 ballots while 103 men had voted.
Law students and medical students voting in Green hall had cast only six ballots at the time of the count; 36 engineers had voted in the basement of Marvin hall; and only 61 men from all other schools had made the trip to the basement of Frank Strong to vote.
The constitutional change, which would combine the activities of the MSC and WSAG in a single governing body, needs only a student majority to become effective. While tabulation was not scheduled to start until after the polls close, the apparent lack of interest in the election was attributed to the prevalent belief that the proposal would pass, council members explained.
MSC and WSGA officials in charge of the election said that voting was expected to pick up after afternoon classes were out and that a fairly representative vote might be cast by the time the polls closed at 5 this afternoon.
Women Needed In Signal Course
The nationally renowned Coolidge String Quartet will present a concert at 8:20 Wednesday evening as the fifth number on the University Concert series, Dean Donald M Swarthout has announced.
A school for under-engineer trainees for the United States Signal Corps will be opened at the University on April 19, and for this session, the second offered at the University under the Engineering Science Management War Training program, enrollment will be restricted to women. This school, as was the first training program, will be sponsored by the United States
Coolidge String Quartet Will Play Wednesday
Each member of the quartet, composed of William Kroll, first violin, Jack Pepper, second violin, David Dawson, viola, and Naowin Benditzky, cello, has appeared as a soloist with leading orchestras. Their string combination is considered well-blended ensemble work, founded on fine musicianship and authoritative collaboration.
Dean Swarthout originally had planned only five major attractions on the concert series this season; but when Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, a musical denefactress of Washington, D. C., and for whom the quartet was named, offered to pay half the expense of bringing the quartet to Lawrence, Dean Swarthout accepted the offer.
Author and Cast Succeed In "Distinguished Service"
BY JOY MILLER
If the manpower shortage and exigencies of "wah" can produce plays like "Distinguished Service," then even the darkest cloud has a silver lining. For the dramatic department's only 1943 presentation, which opened Tuesday night in Fraser theater for a three-day run, skipping tonight, was the perfect answer to the 64 dollar question: "How to spend an enjoyable evening feeling patriotic without waving flags?"
No escapist's pipe dream, "D.S." with one mighty wallop knocked the indifference and apprehension of boredom out of first-nighters who trooped into Fraser hall Tuesday night with the air of suspicious martyrs. But those who upon arrival had marked the nearest exit, completely and fatally underestimated the crafty Crafton, the dramatics department.

The school will be administered by the Extension division of the University, under the ESMWT program, of which Guy V. Keeler, of the University Extension, is director for Kansas and Western Missouri. Capt. Walter F. Thorpe, of the U. S. Signal Corps, from Wright field, will be in Lawrence, Monday, April 5, for interviews with senior women from the University who are interested in this branch of service as a war effort.
Women Must Be 18
Keeler pointed out that all applicants, upon their acceptance by the government for the training program, would become Civil Service employees of the government, at a starting salary of $1440 per year, plus 21 per cent for overtime.
Minimum requirements for entrance into the training program are a minimum age of 18 years, one year of college, and three units of (continued to page five)

Tavares To Talk Here Tomorrow
Dr. Hernane Tavares, eminent Brazilian internationalist, professor of biology at the University of Sao Paulo, and professor of educational biology at the Faculty of Philosophy of Sao Bento, will speak tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser theater. His subject will be "The Brazilian Way of Life."
Dr. Tavares will be available for student interviews from 2:30 to 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the Spanish office, 117 Frank Strong hall. He will speak tomorrow night at 8:00 at the University club in the Memorial Union building.
In 1942, the noted Brazilian visited over 60 colleges and universities in the United States, on a traveling scholarship. His appearance at the University is another cooperative effort in the University program to promote closer inter-American relations between the United States and the Latin American nations.
Dr. Tavares, who received a doctor of medicine degree from the University of Louvain, Belgium, in 1935, is only 32 years old.
Easter Egg Rolling Canceled

U. S. Flying Fortresses Blast Sardinia
A squadron of nearly 100 huge Flying Fortresses—the largest aggregation of four-motored American bombers ever assembled for attack—was disclosed today to have carried out a gigantic raid against the Sardinian port of Cagliari to wreck in advance any mass evacuation of the Africa Corps from Tunisia.
White British and American forces in three separate areas of the embattled country made slow but steady progress against enemy mine fields and stiffened resistance, the American aerial crew comprised the main development of the day.
Axis Demands Use of Watercraft
With defeat inevitable the Axis was reported requisitioning fishing boats, lugs, and other small crafts all along the shore of the Mediterranean.
From other fronts there were few major changes to report.
Soviet troops were active in the Caucasus where a new campaign was launched in hopes of recapturing the Black sea naval base of Novorossisk.
MacArthur's Men Attack Japanese General Douglas MacArthur's airmen in the Southwest Pacific carried out a series of six harrassing aerial assaults on Japanese bases in various parts of New Guinea.
Three more air assaults on Japanese positions in the Aleutians and another bombing attack against the enemy base at Munda in the central Solomons were reported this morning by the navy.
Lt. Candlish To Talk About WAAC's Here
Lt Dorothy Candish of the Womens Army Auxiliary Corps, will be in Lawrence, Wednesday, April 7, to speak to senior women and to interview any candidates who might be interested in enlisting in the organization, Miss Florence Black, coordinator of military information for women students at the University announced today.
Lt. Candish will speak to the senior women as a group at 3:30 p.m.
Wednesday in Room 9, Frank Strong Hall, the psychology lecture room.
She will be available for interviews on Thursday from 8:30 to 12, and
from 1:30 to 3:30 in the mathematics office. Interested senior women
should consult Miss Black for further details.

Stimson Predicts Advances In Tunisia
Washington, (INS) — Despite United Nations victories in Tunisia, Secretary of War Stimson warned today that a "great deal of heavy fighting" may yet be expected.
In his weekly war review the secretary pointed out that when Marshall Rommel's fleet Africa Corps joins the Axis army in the north, they will form a powerful force that will be capable of strong resistance.
Before the final phase of the Tunisian campaign, there will be a great deal of heavy fighting, Stimson said. He added that "operations in Tunisia are progressing favorably."
A meat rationing certificate was cancelled in Philadelphia yesterday which had been issued the day before to Paul Oliver, blind owner of two seeing-eye dogs.
SeeingEye Dogs Can't Get Their Ration
The certificate called for two pounds of meat a day for the two dogs, but the local OPA office explained that animals are not eligible for rationed meats under the regulations.
The owner said that he would share his own meat with the dogs and include more cereal, vegetables, and eggs in their diet.
AUTHOR AND CAST---like a well-directed choir—everyone did her best, and no soloist was featured.
(continued from page one) and women in general. Before many minutes had elapsed, the audience was breathing the putrifying air of Bataan with the Florence Nightingales of the G-I khaki. Similar to "Cry Havoc"
In choosing army nurses for the subject of his play, Professor Crafton must have had an eye on what was currently popular—OWI dramatic opuses lauding the nurses' heroism and one of the leading plays on Broadway. "Cry Havoc," having an all-woman cast to depict the life of Bataa nurses. At any rate "Distinguished Service" gave a new slant to the old theme, and this, coupled with some very refreshing lines which express Crafton views on life and literature ("How can you know all you do if you haven't read Hemingway?"), make it possible for six scenes to take place in the same setting with the women doing nothing more than emoting, reminiscing, going off the beam, or staggering onto the stage nearly dead with fatigue and still have no drag in action or lag in interest.
With the only furniture on the stage doubledeck beds and a table and chair, and with the walls covered with gray paint to give a dug-out shack effect, priority paint that Professor Crafton probably had to give the greatest performance of his life to get the burden of the play was thrown onto the broad shoulders of the east,which being all women,was completely competent. Acting Is Convincing
Ham, especially the corn-fed kind, was noticeably lacking from the bill-of-fare, but then it's pretty scarce any place in Lawrence these days. Taken as a whole, perhaps the best word for the play is "convincing." The acting was on a high level of performance, and rarely did any actress fall below it. The play was
Rommel Says No Surrender In Hot Battle
With Allied advance forces in Tunisia — Faced with disaster as Allied armies drove steadily forward on all fronts, Nazi Feld Marshal Rommel today issued an order to his troops demanding utmost compliance with Adolph Hitler's edict of no surrender.
The burly chieftain of the Africa Corps, gradually being hemmed in on all sides, called upon his troops to fight to the last man "at every hill and on the last beach."
His order clearly confessed realization that before long he and his forces will be driven into the sea.
In effect, the order means that the war in Tunisia will become more violent every day. It will soon be "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" in the best position of Africa from the time Roman legions trod this same battleground.
Mendenhall Assumes New Duties in Army
First Lt. Clarence Mendenhall, who was graduated from the University in 1928, is now in charge of the communications system at the basic training center for the Army Air Forces in Kearns, Utah.
As post signal officer his duties are to supervise the telephone and telegraph systems and insure their efficient operation. Before being commissioned in July, 1942, he had supervised the installation of telephones at several army posts.
While at the University he was a member of Alpha Kappa Psi and played basketball and baseball.
Mary Cheney as the courageous head nurse was more than adequate even if she did charge around on a white horse a little too much. But since to draw a line between histrionics and a faithful presentation of the hectic, soul-weary life of the overworked nurses on Bataan may be to make only a negligible distinction, it would perhaps be acceptable to put down any tendency of the cast to overact to their instinctive feeling that in the same stress and strain the nurses themselves would react in that way.
Men and Love Enter
Lois Blackburn Wilson's performance as "Maybe-I've-got-something-youain't-got" Maxie was consistently perfect, and her feud with Jo (Betty Dunlap) over a man was one of the humorous high spots of the play. Dunlap, by the way, did a finished job in giving her man-crazy role a certain naive charm. Alice McDonnell, Betty Rowton, and Edith Ann Fleming, veterans of previous dramatic presentations, gave among the best performances of their University stage careers. Rosemary Utterback was the appealing little nurse who died (in an actually short deathbed scene); Jane Peake lived the role of the emotionally unstable Theda, and Frances Perkins was a perfect Kalla. Bobbie Sue McCluggage, a newcomer to University drama, did a good job of giving her role insight and humor.

Students Play Childish Pranks On April First
The annual excuse for playing practical—and impractical— jokes on friends—and enemies—has arrived with April 1, "April Fool's Day."
Short-sheeted beds, ice in shoes, wet towels in pillow slips. 5:30 (a.m.) telephone calls, and the ancient "Your shoestring's untied" joke are a few activi-
Short-sheeted beds, ice in sk 5:30 (a.m.!) telephone calls, an untied" joke are a few activiities adopted by April Fool pranksters.
Dale Robinson of Battenfeld hall was "studying big" at 12:30 lats night when the telephone rang. When he answered, a feminine voice inquired, "Is this one-nine-four-three?" Upon his puzzled reply that the number was 234, the caller shouted gleefully, "April Fool."
Emily Post Wouldn't Approve
Waitresses at Corbin hall rebelled last night, giving the diners table spoons and gravy ladles with which to eat, egg cups, cream pitchers, and dessert cups from which to drink. Chairs had been placed in heats, and forks were provided for serving butter. Alarm clocks scattered about the dining room went off intermittently during the meal.
Mrs. Charles F. Brook, housemest,
her, rang a bell to make the an-
nouncement, "April Fool."
Eiance Gets Birth Announcement
One attempted prank fell flat when "Flossie" Brown did not sleep in
her bed which had been short-sheeted.
One unidentified woman student sent her fiance a birth announcement.
Two of a group or girls living together in an apartment plan to hide tonight's dinner in the oven and walk out, leaving their companions to starve and wonder.
Fenton, Tenenbaum Are Now Lieutenants
Two former students, Robert M. Fenton and John Joseph Tenenbaum received commissions as second lieutenants last week.
Lt. Fenton, Kansas City, attended the University from 1937 to 1939. He won his wings as a bombardier in the Army Air Forces at the West Texas Triangle, Midland, Texas.
Lt. Tenenbaum, Hewlett, N. Y., was prominent in football and track at the University. He was commissioned upon the completion of the Officer Candidate course at the Infantry School at Fort Benning.

Various Parties Scheduled For First April Weekend
Students attended the last midweek of the year last night, many went to the play "Distinguished Service," and the rest seemed to flock to the shows. Tonight interested and curious students may walk downtown to see the displays by the stores in the Annual Spring Window Unveiling, which will show new
trends in new clothes. A crowd of more than 5,000 is expected.
March this year stuck to the old saying "Comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb." The first of April even seems a bit cooler than the last few days of the unpredictable March. Coeds are wondering now if they will have any time at all to wear spring clothes—it looks like the fashion will be from coats to shirt sleeves, from galoshes to hurachies, and slacks to shorts.
The approaching weekend seems to promise many activities. Tomorrow night there are parties at the Methodist church and Watkins hall. For Saturday night the Jay Hop dance is scheduled, and the Kappa freshmen have planned a party.

It was pointed out, however, that some of the organized houses will carry out their own Mother's Day celebrations.
The "University Mother's Day" usually occurred during the month of May, and a committee worked out a program of dinners and entertainment. Last year the event took place on May 2.

Three Jobs
Coeds not Frail To Work
By Collegiate Press
Currently the young women are doing man's work, woman's work and the work of college students— a combination they'll tell you most decidedly is no job for the frail. They are Barbara Jenswold and Gloria Nishon.
Each works 54 hours a week in a war factory, studies a course involving 16 hours of classwork alone and does half the housekeeping in the apartment they share.
"As for our social life today," says Barbara, "it's nil. We've figured
April Brings Ideas For Spring Fashions
out there are two hours of leisure left each week. Those two hours are spent trying to get our hands clean and in attending a movie once in two weeks."
The girls were the first women to work in the shop of a local grinder company.
With April upon us, it is time to think seriously of spring and spring clothes. March days were warm at the last, giving students a taste of what is to come, and everyone pulled out old spring clothes or wrote home for them. This spring the fashions necessarily will be simpler and fewer, for as the war is in the second year and more and more material is needed to cloth the
Dinner-Dance For Pharmacists

Say 'No' Occasionally ★★★ ★★★
Advice to Coeds
There are a great many "I don't know," and "Maybe, but I am not sure," gals trippinggaily through this world. These are the coeds who cannot say no when a young man seeks a date, despite the fact they do not wish his company.
They either make dates and break them at the last minute with excuses that are time-worn and familiar, or double their dates in the hope they can unload the first date before meeting the party of the second part of the evening. Erequently in the latter case a traffic snarl develops.
A suggestion for such young ladies to tell the truth or take the consequences, Miss Helen Markel says:
"If you don't want him now, you won't want him next week, or six months after the war. If you're saving him for a rainy day, he'll still be a washout. So why stall? You have nothing to lose except the last links in a pretty frayed stagline. You will save wear and tear on your nervous system. To say nothing of your reputation.
"If you don't want him, say so. It's so easy, too, once you get the hang of it. Just a simple declarative sentence the next time he asks for a date. It is guaranteed that you will feel like a new woman."

Slacks will play a major role in fashions this year—they are useful as well as smart. Slacks are ideal to dig in the victory gardens, for hiking and horseback riding, for working, and even for entertaining. A variety of materials go into slacks—wool gabardine and cordnuey to silk rayon.
New spring neckwear has unlimited possibilities. Dickies, collars, cuffs, fascinators, fuchsia, and bows in varied colors with lace, embroidery, and borders make over a suit, a plain dress, or coat. The different soft materials make this neckwear cool as well as becoming.
More and more leg makeup is being used, chiefly because sheer hose is almost an impossibility to buy. Soon enough sun tan can take the place of leg makeup, and it won't be long before coeds will be sunbathing in various spots on the campus, preferably secluded. Hose will be discarded until next fall, when the worry over stockings will have calmed down somewhat. Coeds have only to be thankful that they don't have to wear hose like older women do.
In all types of clothing the accessories are being stressed this year to conserve material. Unique buttons are on the market to change old dresses. Hats, gloves, and bags are

Jayhawk Jabberwock
By Matt Heuertz
THE PROPOSED NCAA RULE
The proposed ruling of the NCAA which would prohibit any player touching a ball during its downward are above the level of the basket is receiving much adverse comment from sports writers over the nation.
Such a ruling would discriminate against basketball players who are lucky enough to have a physical advantage over their less gifted opponents. But do they have too much of an advantage over their smaller opponents who can get around over the floor quicker with less danger of fouling an adversary. If a ruling is adopted to curb the defensive work of tall players, why not also adopt a measure curbing the offensive work of the smaller more agile players. One discriminatory ruling would be as logical as the other.
****
WHY NOT A 12-FOOT BASKET
If the rules committee wants to do something beneficial for the game why doesn't it adopt a ruling requiring the use of a 12-foot basket in all college basketball games. "Phog" Allen has been harping on this subject for the past decade.
If the goals were raised from the standard 10 feet to the proposed 12-feet above the court, a large percentage of personal fouls resulting from congestion under the basket would be eliminated. Then there would be no need of a discriminatory rule against tall players because they would not be able to reach higher than the rim of the 12-foot basket.
THE QUESTION OF TALL SOPHOMORES
Of course there are those coaches who may be building their teams around promising tall sophomores who are very adept at deflecting tries for field goals. However, in not wishing to ruin the plans of coaches who are building their teams around such promising players, "Phog" doesn't want his proposed 12-foot basket put into use until three years after its acceptance by the national basketball rules committee. This would give those coaches a chance to use their tall sophomores for the purpose of preventing field goals.

A new course in "propaganda and morale," covering propaganda and its psychological effect, has been introduced at New Jersey College for Women. Dr. Sidney Cook, head of the department of philosophy and psychology, is teaching the course, which is open only to juniors and seniors.
The course includes a study of propaganda methods employed by countries and pressure groups to maintain their own morale and to destroy that of their enemies, with special application to World War II. Analysis of current propaganda will embrace fields of radio, magazine articles, newspapers, and dramatic productions.
Moon-Gaze ★★★ Scheduled For Next Weekend
Another "open house" at the Observatory for University students who will wish to take a look at the moon's craters, will be held Friday evening, April 9, N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, stated yesterday. Observatory open houses have been a popular feature on the campus for many years.
Dr. Storer said that on that evening the moon would provide a much better opportunity for gazing than on any other weekend of the next month.
"In case of cloudy weather or an overcast," he stipulated, "the open house will be postponed."

Course Given In Other Schools
Keeler said that applications should be sent directly to the United States Civil Service, c/o James Campbell, Mutual Building, Kansas City, Mo.
Since the positions offered, Keeler pointed out, deal directly with the development and production of much needed army equipment for use in combat planes, this program provides an excellent opportunity for women to offer their talents in the war effort. Tuition costs are paid by the U. S. government.
This recently organized training program for women by the Signal Corps is being given at a number of colleges and universities throughout the Middle West. To students with the proper background, the course offers an abbreviated program of instruction in basic radio engineering, with liberal pay while learning. Upon completion of the course, graduates are employed by the Aircraft Radio laboratory, at Wright field, assisting engineers in research, development and test projects for airborne radio equipment. Course Lasts 24 Weeks
The course extends over a period of 24 weeks, 8 hours per day, six days per week.

Retires From Combat Duty. . Ben Lear Will Relinquish Command of Second Army
Lt. Gen. Ben Lear, commander of the Second army, will give up his command and leave active army service May 31, he revealed to the Commercial Appeal last night.
He will reach the statutory age limit at which retirement from active duty with combat troops is required on May 12, when he will be 64 years old. Lear indicated last night that he will return to duty, but not! ___
Speculation as to Lear's successor has pointed to Maj. Gen. Lloyd R. Freddall, until recently in command of the American forces in Central Tunsia and hero of the American landing at Oran.
Lear has been a soldier in the nation's service for forty-five years, rising from a private in the Colorado national guard. He has won distinction as a great trainer of men—a strict disciplinarian, a stickler for perfection who has often asserted "no mistake should go uncorrected."
This conclusion was based partly upon the fact that Lear and Fredendall were in conference throughout the day prior to Lear's statement to the Commercial Appeal.
Born in Hamilton, Canada, May 12, 1879, Lear came to the United States at the age of 4. He joined the Colorado national guard at an early age and was 19 and a first sergeant when his outfit sailed for the Philippines to fight in the Spanish-American war.
Lear gained national publicity in a "yoo hoo" incident in 1941, touched off when members of the 108th quartermaster regiment, returning to Little Rock, Ark. from maneuvers, yelled at a group of girls on a golf course.
Lear, playing golf near by, ordered the offending battalion on to Little Rock, there to receive orders to walk
fifteen of the 150 miles back to camp under a broiling sun.
In World War I Lear rose from captain to major and finally to temporary rank of lieutenant colonel.
Taking command of the Pacific sector at Balboa, in the Panama Canal Zone in 1939, he advanced to major general. October 1, 1940, he was appointed lieutenant general in command of the Second army.
CIO Phillip Murray Advocates Revision Of Wage Formula
Washington, (INS)—CIO president Phillip Murray asserted today after a conference with President Roosevelt that the "little steel" formula for granting wage increases would have to be revised upward unless food prices were stabilized. Murray said that while the subject was not brought up with President Roosevelt today, it was apparent that such a step would have to be taken and that the CIO has contested the program of wage stabilization without corollary price stabilization for a year.

Reduction in Price Should Accompany Lowering of Athletic Program Quality
The University Athletic board is working on a football schedule for next fall which will include primarily as the opposition smaller schools of this area. Most of the larger schools are naturally excluded because of the transportation difficulties involved in large scale travel.
The Athletic board has already announced its intention of maintaining the athletic portion of activity ticket fees at the same level they were placed this year. Feeling it necessary that the students receive something in the way of compensation for this price, they have decided, if at all possible, to continue football in the fall.
Now, there is much of logic in the reasoning of the board, for certainly the costs must be met. However, there is also much of logic in the resentment of students, who feel it unfair that they be required to pay as much to witness Baker, Rockhurst, or other small colleges in action as they have in the past to see the mighty Seahawks, Nebraska, or Oklahoma. Human nature being what it is, they seem—perhaps illogically—more willing to pay a high price to see the Jayhawks lose 61 to 0 to the Seahawks than to lose 30 to 0 to Baker.
They point out that while the curtailment of athletics will cut sharply into costs, it will not effect some standing expenses such as interest on stadium bonds, salaries, etc. Smaller enrollment also means fewer tickets sold. They feel justified in asking students to pay an equal price for an inferior grade of athletic entertainment this fall.
They point out that the quality of the merchandise offered to the public should be the determining factor in the fixation of the selling price, not the cost of production. They therefore feel that the athletic board should find some other means of meeting the costs of athletics here at the University next year, and that the student activity fee should be reduced in proportion to the quality of entertainment which will be offered the student.
Perhaps the athletic board will find itself in such a position that no other means of meeting the standing expenses can be found. If such is the result, however, considerable grumbling and with some justification-can be expected on the part of the student body.JDK
Continued Bombings on Germany May Decide Air Power Question
Germany, with Berlin as a central point has been the target of increasing Allied bombing raids; the Saturday night raid was the heaviest of the war. Leaving fires that could be seen for nearly a hundred miles, the Allied bombers completed another chapter in the campaign attempting to show that airpower can bomb a nation to her knees.
On the outcome of such attacks against the enemy territory probably will depend the answer to the question of whether bombing alone will win this war. The Allied high commands are counting on the raids over Europe to weaken Germany fast enough to make her a pushover for the land attack promised this
Just Wondering
If "Eleanor" shouldn't take over the job of supervising Vassar girls in their daily hour job of practical homework—making beds, etc.—as is now required of the coeds.
--year. American four-motored bombers are winging their way over Germany in daylight raids and are dropping bombs on their targets without losing a too-high percentage of their raiding planes. The official proportion is four enemy planes for every Allied bomber lost in the war. Meanwhile, Britain is continuing her night raids over the heart of Germany and is having devastating effect.
Just when the question of the real effectiveness of airpower will be answered is unknown. The Allies have set up a three-fold plan which may prove to be the answer to that question as well as to the Hitler menace itself. The points of the plan are to encircle Germany by Allied airfields from which to hit Germany from all sides, to maintain air raids against Germany solidly hour by hour, and to develop at increasing speed more true air weapons, bigger and better bombers, and greater bomb loads. Though the effectiveness of such a plan may not be demonstrated for months to come, it is true that Allied planes are hitting the enemy all over the world.
The result is a steady progress toward the time when the Japanese and Germans will have a constant visit from Allied air forces and progress toward the day when at last the question about air power will be answered.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILI
Another Murphy to the fold: Nancy Tomlinson, Theta, wrote a letter to Bud Murphy, former KU Beta, and addressed it simply, Bud Murphy, his serial number, and United States Army. In spite of the fact that Nancy made some 12 hours of A last semester, she honestly believed her epistle would arrive.
Ailleen Ainsworth, roommate, realized the peril of the important letter, remembered that Bud is stationed somewhere in Pennsylvania and so, in a fit of level headedness, added "Penn." beneath Nancy's terse directions.
In spite of this precaution, the letter reached a strange Bud Murphy also somewhere in Pennsylvania. He answered immediately and now there are two Murphys in the Tomlinson repertoire.
Aileen is demanding compensation for her part in the acquisition:
The world's a cruel place: Dean McCormick says he feels better now that he's been assured it was accidental; however, the whole affair was pretty horrible.
Returning from the show, Paula Reeye, Kappa, went upstairs for her picture, sent it down to date McCormick, and the two parted ways. Back at the house upon retiring, Dean decided to take the portrait out of its folder for one fond glance before relinquishing it to the KuKu queen committee. From the outset, the picture impressed him as being exceedingly masculine: Someone else remarked on it, too, and then suddenly Dean realized it was a man—the other man.
The bare facts: Maurice Beardmore, Sigma Nu, obtained inside information that the Chi Omega "come as you are party" to which dates would be invited over five minutes before dinner was to be served would come off either Tuesday or Thursday. Thinking to fox friend Jean Porter he formulated plans to shower both Tuesday and Thursday and be ready. However—
The summons came Tuesday while Maurice was still dripping from head to foot. With only five minutes to go there wasn't mush he could do. He wrapped a large Sigma Nu towel around his waist and fled.
★ ★ ★ ★
The Chi O's screamed lustily when their guests entered but the novelty of it all wore off when the rumor was confirmed that Beardmore had a pair of trunks under the towel.
Beardmore confesses he had a few qualms at the first of the evening, but he says he enjoyed the party as a whole. By the time dinner was over, several girls in nightshirts had made him feel perfectly at home.
"Hey there, (censored), your shoe string is untied!" And the poor unsuspecting guy, deeply absorbed in the question of whether his "unknown" is mercury or lead, is greeted by a loud "April Fool" when he attempts to retie an already perfectly tied knot.

Undoubtedly the day's origin can be dug out of some big, black, dusty book; but it would probably be as boring as most history, so why bother.

"Ah, yes," dreams the poet; "Perhaps," drawls the slightly bored mathematician; and "Undoubtedly," asserts the ever-alert psychologist, "It is the spring, that time when the "Heavenly Ear" comes down (pardon the transfer of April into June) and tries the earth if it be in tune."
That ear must definitely lack a perfect sense of pitch to be satisfied with the present tuning pitch of the world, as no tuning adjustments have been noticed lately. Or maybe it is just tolerant and is satisfied with what it hears, the sound of shells and bombs over there, and the

Classics Will Be Evaluated At Annual Meeting
The thirty-seventh annual meeting of the Classical Association of Kansas and western Missouri will be held on April 16-17 at the University of Kansas City, L. R. Linde, secretary-treasurer of the association, announced today.
The Rev. William H. McCabe, president of Rockhurst College, will speak on the subject, "New Hope for the Classics," on Friday evening, April 16. The program for Saturday, April 17, consists of the following series of talks: "One Never Knows" by Miss Mabel Eggleston, Westport high school; "Values of Foreign Language Study in a Business Woman's Career" by Mrs. Helen Rowe Henze, Kansas City; "A Little Latin and Less Greek" by Mrs. Marguerite D. Penner, Topeka; "Latin and Comparative Literature" by John E. Hankins, professor of English at the University of Kansas; "The Newspaperman's Need for Foreign Language Training" by H. J. Haskell of the Kansas City Star; and "Language in Engineering Construction" by E. E. Howard, Kansas City. The program will be followed by a luncheon in the University cafeteria. A short business meeting will be held. The speaker for the afternoon will be Judge Merill E. Otis, who will speak on the subject "The Trial of Socrates."
The Association is made up of teachers of Latin and Greek, but all persons, whether members of the association or not, are invited to the meetings.
Canadians Will Have Meat Rationing Soon
Canada will begin meat rationing early in May, allowing each person two pounds a week, Finance Minister James Isley told the House of Commons in Ottawa yesterday.
Meatless days will be observed in restaurants, hotels, and other public eating places, after plans now being prepared by the prices board are completed.
The ration represents a reduction of about one-half pound a week in the average per capita consumption of meat by Canadians in 1941 and 1942, the minister said.
The rationing will be applied without differentiation between various classes of employment. A nutrition committee advising the Prices Board Foods administration had given the opinion that two pounds of meat a week, plus butter, eggs, and other available food products, was sufficient for nutrition in any type of work.

★ Letters to the Editor
★
To the editor.
Students often wonder what service they may render during this busy time of war and still carry on with their studies. There is one wartime contribution which every student can make now and by so doing show his respect for and loyalty to the University.
Once again with the coming of Spring, the golden-headed dandelion makes his somewhat unwanted appearance. A small yet pesky plant, the dandelion has long been a menace to the beauty of the campus. In 1941 the Student Councils succeeded in securing an entire day during which students of the University concentrated upon dandelion destruction. Last year owing to the wartime speed-up program, the administration felt that a special day could not be allotted for this purpose. Consequently, the faculty took the initiative in securing the solution to last year's problem. One afternoon was set aside for digging the weed. As soon as afternoon classes were over, faculty members began this task. They were assisted by a minority from the student body. Having received no holiday, many students lost their cooperative spirit.
Progress has been made in the right direction. Another two or three years and the problem will be solved. However, if this program is discontinued, the gains of the last two years will be lost.
This is a way to whip the menace, and it would be a fine thing if we students took the initiative in the drive this year. Certainly, the faculty would be more than happy to follow student leadership in this effort.
Must Bring Tin Cans To Dance
A tin can must be part of the equipment of every person who attends the tacky Vice Versa dance in the main lounge of the Union building April 9, according to Robert Hodgson, president of the Student Union Activities board.

In the system used by Dr. Beers a counter arrangement totaled the number of particles striking in a given time, and the total charge of the known number of particles was then measured. By a special system of baffles in the apparatus, Dr. Beers was able to keep the effects of stray radiation at a minimum.

Skilton Commemorated In Concert
80-Piece Symphony Orchestra To Be Featured Monday Night
THE ORCHESTRA OF THE UNION AMPHONY AND CHOIR COMPANY.
The University of Kansas Symphony Orchestra concert to be given at 8 o'clock Monday night in Hoch auditorium will be dedicated to the memory of Charles Sanford Skilton, founder of the orchestra in 1903. The program features three of Professor Skilton's compositions.
The program will open with the "Star Spangled Banner," and the presentation of the colors by the color guard of the U. S. Navy Training Station. This will be followed by the "Overture of 1812." (Tschalkowsky) written in celebration of the victory of the Russians over the French when Napoleon was driven out of Russia.
Skilton Featured in Second Part
The second part of the program will be devoted entirely to Professor Skilton's music, "The Deer Dance" was written to depict part of the annual memorial services of the Rogue River Indians of Oregon for those who have died. "The Call of Kansas," with the soprano solo taken by Miss Meribah Moore, was dedicated to Dean Donald M. Swarthout and his family. The song, with the poem written by Esther Clark Hill, a former resident of Kansas, won first prize in 1930 from the Kansas Federation of Music Clubs. "War Dances," a Cheyenne melody accompanied throughout by the drum, will feature Indian dancers from the Haskell Institute.
"The Russian Sailor's Dance," by Gitere, will compose the third part of the program.
"Primitive Rhapsody" closes Concert
primitive Rhapsody” closes Concert The fourth part of the concert will consist of Debussy's prelude to “The Afternoon of a Faun.” The composer was inspired to write this number by Stephane Mallarme's impressionistic poem, “L'Apres-midi d'un Faun,” illustrated by Manet.
"Primitive Rhapsody," with music written by Karl Kuesterheimer, director of the University Symphony Orchestra, and lyrics and narration by John Hankins, professor of English, will close the concert. Miss Jean Bliss, instructor in physical education, has arranged the choreography and dances, and Bernard "Poco" Frazier, instructor in design, has sculptered "Dancer in Wild Cherry" to be used in the number.

Topeka, (INS) — The Kansas state department of revenue and taxation today issued an appeal for all citizens to send in their state tax papers as soon as possible.
Although the deadline isn't until April 15, officials urged taxpayers to present their payments immediately as the department is short of help due to the war and they are anxious to avoid being snowed under in the last few days.

Yale Dean To Speak Here Good Friday
Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean emeritus of the Yale Divinity School and one of America's outstanding clergymen, will be the annual Good Friday convocation speaker at the University, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today. Dr. Brown has been on the Yale staff since 1911, having served as dean of the Divinity School from 1911 to 1928, and as dean emeritus since that time.
The Yale clergyman is one of America's most famous religious lecturers. In addition to numberless public appearances, he has also served as special lecturer at Stanford, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, the Pacific School of Religion, Harvard, the University of North Carolina, and Southern Methodist University.
Dr. Brown is a graduate of the University of Iowa with the degrees of bachelor of arts and master of arts. He holds Doctor of Divinity degrees from Yale, Oberlin, and Brown and has been awarded the Doctor of Laws by Boston College Weslyan, and Mills College. He began his ministry as pastor of the First Congregational church of Los Angeles. From 1913 to 1915, he served as moderator of the National Council of the Congregational Church.
Bankhead Bill Vetoed Today By Roosevelt
Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt today vetosed the Bankhead bill which would have boosted the nation's food bill by $1,500,000,000 a year as he warned "that all of us—farmers, workers, managers, and investors" must cut down the standard of living during total war.
Mr. Roosevelt explained that he took the action because the measure would break down "the barriers we have erected and which we must maintain in order to avoid all the disasters of inflation."
The Bankhead bill would exclude incentive payments in computing the parity price to be paid for farm productions and it would also drive up the retail price of food.
This was the first time that Mr. Roosevelt had vetoed a major bill enacted by the new 78th Congress.
New Naval Division Arrives
New Naval Division Arrives
The Tenth Division arrived today at the Naval training school. Consisting of 190 machinist's mates trainees, the division will replace the Sixth Division which was graduated last Saturday.
Army Day Is Routine Day Now
Next Wednesday is Army Day on the calendar, but to the U. S. army and its various branches it probably will be just another day of concentration on winning the war.
Civilians, too, while fully appreciative of the value of the army under the circumstances of the times, probably will not celebrate but will acknowledge the day with greater efforts in war work to back up the armed forces.
The parade and other exercises that are customary on April 7, will be missing this year in many localities. Army Day has not been given the observance on the campus that it has in metropolitan areas. For the last two years the occasion has passed almost unnoticed.
Col. William C. Washington, in charge of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, said that no celebration has been planned this year by his group. The fact that the ROTC had not arranged a celebration does not prevent members participating in civilian programs, he said.
Flying Instructor And Cadet Killed At Coffeyville Base
Coffeyville, (INS)—An army flying instructor and a cadet stationed at the army flying base here have been killed in the crash of a training plane 10 miles north of the field, it was announced yesterday by the Public Relations office at the field. The crash occurred late the day before.
The dead are Second Lt. William Miener, 22, of Kennett, Mo., and Cadet Larkin G. Henry, survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Henry, Okemah, Okla.

Two-Day Drama Festival Draws 13 High Schools
High school students from 13 eastern Kansas schools, who wandered through Fraser hall, stood tensely behind scenes at Liberty Memorial High School's auditorium waiting for cues, gave standard orations in Green hall or whispered over lines of humorous and dramatic reading while awaiting their turn, were all a part of the speech and drama festival going on today and tomorrow morning on the campus.
Although only a small number of students went to the polls yesterday, they voted an overwhelming 15 to one per cent for the adoption of the new constitution combining the MSC and WSGA into a single governing unit. The vote was 489 for the unicameral system and 33 against it, Vernon McKale, MSC resident said today.
The festival sponsored by the extension division and department includes contestants from Rossville, Tonganoxie, Lansing, Stockton, Wyandotte in Kansas City, Bonner Springs, Capitol Catholic and Highland Park of Topeka, Shawnee Mission, Valley Falls, Haskell Institute, Seneca Catholic, and Lawrence.
Tonight the high school delegates will attend a banquet in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building and later will see Prof. Allen Crafton's play, "Distinguished Service."

Queen candidates are Patricia Foster, College sophomore; Johnnie May Mann, College freshman; Nadine Hunt College senior; Mary Martha Hudelson, business junior; and Dorothy Mae Nelson, fine arts senior.
president said today.
Accounting for the small vote, McKale said that "As the vote went it certainly showed where the sentiment was. Of course, a lot of students forgot to vote. Many probably thought there would be no dissention and no necessity of their voting. In general, I would say that the light vote was due to a lack of interest and students not taking the trouble."
That women displayed more interest in the election than men is shown by the fact that out of the votes cast, 303 of them were on the blue ballots used by the women.
New Council Will Be Selected Soon McKale stated that the new council would probably be selected within the next two weeks and that the MSC and WSGA councils will meet Monday night to make preliminary plans for selections.
Plans for the new all-student constitution were begun several weeks ago by MSC and WSGA members who gave their final council approval at a joint meeting of both (continued to page five)

Final Proficiency Exam To Be April 10
The fourth English proficiency examination of this school year will be at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, April 10. Candidates must register in person at the College office, April 5-7, and only juniors and seniors in the College may take the exam.
There is a possibility that such an examination may be given during summer school. A student must enroll in 24 hours of work after passing the examination before he can qualify for a degree.
Senior standing will not be granted until students have passed the proficiency examination, Prof. John B. Virtue of the English department said.
If a student fails to pass the last examination given during his junior year, he may take the first one given in the senior year and be allowed to count the first semester's hours in with the second to total 24. However, he cannot take a second quiz in his senior year and graduate.

Fire To Find Out--steel core which at a range of 250 yards can pierce half-inch armor. Ordnance experts say they'd "hate to be hit by one of these bullets fired from two miles away."
Army Bullets Perfected Through Laboratory Test
Denver, (INS)—Uncle Sam demands that his fighters fire perfect bullets at the Axis.
As a result of this demand, enough bullets are fired in testing laboratories near Denver every day of the year to provide a grand-scale battle.
The testing laboratories are located at the $40,000,000 Den
The testing laboratories mver ordnance plant where more than 15,000 men and women work three round-the-clock shifts producing millions of rounds of .30-calibre bullets each day.
"To make sure that we are sending the best bullets in the world to our soldiers, we fire 300,000 rounds a week in our laboratories," said A. T. Tweng, works manager for Remington Arms Co., which operates the plant on a cost plus fixed fee basis for the U.S. army.
Army Experiments
"And the army checks up on us right here on the spot, firing about 75.000 rounds a week itself.
"We take extreme care to see that our finished ammunition is perfect or, at least meets army specifications Each cartridge is given 140 inspections before it is accepted or rejected. That's why it takes a week before each bullet gets its final inspection."
Twing explained that the plant is now turning out four types of 30-calibre bullets—with many commanders assisting for all four mixed in 250-round belts that are sent direct from the plant to the fighting fronts. Four Types Listed
With the permission of army officials present at the interview, Twing listed the four types, as follows.

Trading With Enemy Act Violated By Trio
Chicago, (INS) — Three persons, including an enemy alien, were indicted by the Federal Grand Jury yesterday on charges of collecting gold bullion and counterfeiting gold coins for shipment to Nazi Germany by submarine.
Those indicted were Kurt Erich Schimkus, 36, of Blue Island, Ill., a German alien and scientist; Elbridge Gerry Bates, 43, of Glen Ellyn, Ill., and Frank S. Smith, 54, a Chicago furniture manufacturer.

The men also were charged with conspiring to manufacture counterfeit facsimiles of 20 dollar gold pieces and possession of dies and parts for the counterfeiting of 20 dollar gold pieces.

Stassen Advises World Federation Following War
(Editor's note: Governor Stassen spoke at a University convocation Feb. 10, at which time he presented this plan for post-war organization to the student body and emphasized the part university-educated persons will naturally play in accomplishing it.)
Chicago, (INS) A post-war "world federation" of Allied Nations developing out of associations in the present war was advanced today by Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota.
Speaking before the Chicago council on foreign relations in what may be his last public address before entering active service in the Navy April 28, Gov. Stassen called for a parliamentary body as the key to an international government with representatives elected by the people of the various countries.
"The shape of the peace is being molded even as the war is fought," Gov. Stassen said. "We should use the present United Nation's framework to build lasting peace and international co-operation . . .
"When the day of triumph comes, China, Russia, the British Commonwealth of Nations, the United States of America and our Allies together will have actual jurisdiction over the world. It is therefore my proposal that we begin now to plan to establish a definite continuing organization of the nations of the world as the future way to lasting peace."
The Minnesota Governor pointed out that the new level of "world federation" would not displace the "national level of government nor will it fundamentally disturb domestic sovereignty."
"Nations will continue to have their own flags, constitutions, heritage, their own citizens," he said.

April Fool's Day Pranks Precede Busy Weekend
If the pinnings of April Fool's day were real there would indeed be lots of news. The Gamma Phi Betas and the Kappa Kappa Gammas seemed to celebrate the first of April with much festivity. At the Gamma Phi house Mignon Morton put out her pin to "Mugger Thomas" and Janet Marvin to "Jay Hawk." A the Kappa house Beverly Fri-
zell put out her pin to Bob Blackwell, who unknowingly came over at seven and had to go through a line of girls as though it were the real thing.
At both houses dinner last night was slightly batty—pranks plus entertainment. Desert was served first, and at the Kappa house utensils were few and far between. At the Gamma Phi house Helen Marie Konantz impersonated the late Edna May Oliver. Wearing black lipstick, Helen Wilkins appeared as a model for a surrealist artist. Marianne Glad and Peggy McConnell entertained with a tap dance number.
The weather seemed to turn bad for the weekend, but it won't put a damper on the parties planned. Watkins hall will have their spring formal tonight, and couples will dance to the music of the Bachmann-Pope band. Tomorrow night is the date of the Jay Hop, and rivalry is high for the choosing of the queen.

Easter Parade In Wartime
New York, (INS)—American women, in contrast to their uniformed companions in the annual Easter parade, will be in color-gay tones covering all the shades of the rainbow. That's the prediction for this year's wartime Easter from the manufacturers who are just now putting the finishing touches on the clothes you'll wear Sunday, April 25, the latest Easter in decades.
The Easter parade, always a monopoly for the feminine of the sex, will be even more feminine this year with millions of men away in the armed services. But women, fashion experts confidently predict, will dress their prettiest for the sake of their morale, even if they stroll alone on Easter. This spring will see something more than the traditional fashions—a rebirth of conquery; gay and charming fashion and a minimum of tailored severity.
Easter styles previewed at the New York dress institute, trade association of the New York fashion industry, highlighted color and attractiveness. Because the lateness of Easter, dresses without coats will be the order of the day. New fashions will come into the open and not be snowed under with furs or heavy coats.
Our 24th Year in Serving K. U. Students
DE LUXE CAFE
The extremely slender silhouette, even more pencil-slim than necessary under the fashion-conserving WPB order, are the outstanding of the Easter fashions. Jackets too are short and slender, reaching just below the waistline or just above the hips. Jacket sleeves too, have been stortened, and the three-quarter length modified bell sleeve is one of the most popular.
711 Mass.
Jacket dress, once the most popular for Easter wear, are banned under the L-85 ruling. No dress may have a matching jacket, but jacket dresses are still with us and legally—designers make them in a two piece dress and use a gilet of white or color to give the jacket dress appearance. Redingotes, favorites of the older women, have also been
banned. But they've been supplaned by a new style—the dress is split up the skirt and has an inset of color. The same color is used for lapels and a froth of white fills in at the neck.
Very feminine styles—sheers, laces, chiffons and marquisette—make the late afternoon dresses. These have low V-necklines, or low rounded or draw string necklines and insets of lace and chifon are used to make them festive and flattering.
Cotton will have an important place in the Easter parade. Cottons have dressed up and now appear at even the most stylish occasions. Shantung will be used in profusion, as well as sheer wools, rayon crepes, sheer and chiffons, and combinations of rayon and wool and cotton and wool.
Hats will be as pretty as ever, loaded down with flowers, veiling and frills to flatter the wearer's face.
'Iron Lung Kid' Says He's Getting Well
Miami Beach, Fla., (INS) — Full of the high courage that has carried him through seven years of life in his "iron lung." Fred B. Snite, Jr., took time out today to tell the world he is going to get well.
Asked about his health today as he began his eight consecutive year in the "boiler" that has been his home since he was stricken with infantile paralysis while traveling in China, Snite said:
"I'm swell. Perfectly swell. And I've never been happier. Matter of fact I'm able to get out of the boiler as long as six hours each day now, though of course I still have to use the small chest respirator.
"Ive grown three inches taller since I've been in the iron lung, and I now weigh a neat 130 pounds."

Presiding at the tables during the afternoon were Dr. Florence Sherbon, Mrs. Guy W. Smith, Mrs. L. N. Flint, and Mrs. Alice Monerieff.
Before leaving, the guests made a point of seeing the shining and well-equipped kitchen, complete with all modern devices, and many were heard to express the opinion of the

Henry Ends Work At University
Gwinn Henry, director of athletics and head football coach at the University since 1939, ended his athletic affairs here yesterday when his resignation became effective.
Although his 4-year tenure here was disappointing as far as game results are concerned, he still plans to come back to
football after the war is over. He does not believe that four poor years here mean that he can't develop more championship teams like he did before coming to Kansas.
Henry does not hesitate when someone asks him the name of the outstanding back he ever coached, at Kansas or elsewhere. He invariably replies that it is Ray Evans who "had speed, size, drive, and a wonderful attitude. He completed more passes than any other collegiate footballer in the nation in 1942. In addition he was unequaled on defense even by any pro player I have seen."
Henry Praises Evans
Hub Ulrich is Henry's nomination as the outstanding lineman that he coached during his four-year tenure on Mt. Oread.
Henry has one thing in general to say of all his Kansas teams. "They were outstanding scrappers. It always surprised me how they would play teams against overwhelming odds."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECEIVES A JOLT
The hope of many college coaches to have a plentiful supply of manpower for teams next fall has been ruined by a recent announcement of the War department.
This announcement stated that soldiers in training in colleges and universities "will not have time to train for, or to participate in, any intercollegiate sports competition."
SOLDIER-STUDENTS WILL HAVE SPORTS
* * * *
This does not mean, however, that those soldier-students will do without athletic competition. On the contrary, the War department has recommended to physical training directors and instructors at colleges and universities that "as a means of inculcating the will to win, competitive team sports such as soccer, speed ball, touch football, modified football, basketball, volleyball, and baseball be strongly encouraged." Competitive intramural games for the soldier-students, however, will probably be played only during free time on Saturday afternoons.
OBJECTIVES OF PHYSICAL TRAINING
1. To develop those qualities, capabilities, and reflexes associated with first class physical condition.
The four general objectives in the War department's physical training program are:
2. To develop in the soldier-student certain fundamental skills essential either to safety or to effective operations in modern warfare.
3. To instill in the minds and the hearts of the soldier-student an aggressive fighting spirit.
4. To provide a sound, sane, and wholesome counterpoise to the highly accelerated schedule of academic study that is involved in the specialized training program.

Plan for Peace As War Goes On, Eden Suggests
Ottawa, (INS)—In order to insure a peace that will endure, the United Nations should build as they go along and not develop an elaborate plan all at once, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden told a joint meeting of both houses of the Canadian parliament yesterday afternoon.
Eden, who agrees with President Roosevelt that the United Nations are about "95 percent together" in current and post-war planning, said that the Axis must be totally disarmed.
"It is better to build as we go along to test our mutual understanding and to develop it, rather than to devise all at once some elaborate structure in which we should seek to fit the component parts as best we may.
He asserted:
"In this sphere of international endeavor the British Commonwealth has its specific contribution to make. It has been our practice to allow and encourage cooperation to grow. We have neither rigid rules nor precise formulae between us, but we have the spirit of understanding and we know the road that we would travel."
"If we can infuse this same spirit into the sphere of international relations we shall have made an essential contribution to a peace that can endure."
World May Use Single Currency
Washington, (INS)—A plan for international currency in the post-war world is now being formulated by the Treasury department and the United Nations, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthal announced yesterday.

The program will be carried on by Harry D. White, assistant to the secretary in charge of monetary research, the State Department, and the Treasury department."
"The very tentative plans," he said "have been in discussion for almost a year."

Minnesota Would Limit President To Two Terms
Minneapolis, April 1, (INS) — A resolution for a constitutional amendment limiting U.S. presidents to two terms in office was before the Minnesota legislature yesterday.
"Power too long continued is always abused and means death to freedom," the resolution declared.
"Shattering tradition of a nation is the first step in breaking down democracy of a nation and is the path that has been trod by all who have established themselves as dictators," it continued.
The resolution directed that copies be sent to all other state legislatures with a request they take similar action.
It was believed that the proposal will be routed to the Minnesota house committee on rules, of which Representative Roy Dunn, Republican national committeeman for Minnesota, is chairman. He was known to have encouraged introduction of the resolution, but was not a sponsor to avoid making it a partisan issue.

Will People in Future Years Remember Victorious Day Ending War and Chaos?
Some beautiful day, a year, two years, three years in the future, whistles all over the land will begin to shriek, factory whistles, air raid sirens, and little penny whistles; bells will clang and clash, school bells, church bells, big bells, little bells, cow bells; a people gone mad with relief and joy will dance into the streets and shout themselves hoarse—for on that day the war will be over.
After an hysterical day and night, the world will gradually, imperceptibly slip back into the ways of peace. The great gears of war factories will grind to a stop; for a while the smokestacks will no longer belch their fumes across the land, while the production lines retool. One by one the warriors will drift back into society; some maimed, some whole. Some never will return. The signs of war will disappear. We will forget. The war will be over.
The war will be over. The guns, the long, snarling mouths of death, will be silent. Silence will lie like a sodden blanket over shell-pocked btatlefields. Silence will bloom like poppies above the dead. The world will be at peace after a decade of world cataclysm, a decade unequaled in the history of man. The world will be at peace once more. The war will be over.
We will forget what we fought for. We will forget what the millions died for. We will forget the menace of the Nazi and the Jap. We will forget our promise to ourselves to make this the last. We will forget—a hundred things that we ought to remember. And some day someone will ask us, and we will say: "What war?"
There will be some to remind us, dreamers, prophets, statesmen. They will try to mold a better world out of the chaos of the victory. They will try to get the people behind them, get them to throw their weight behind the movement for world peace now and forever. They will try to remind us of the fight. And on that day when it is up to us to cast a ballot or to lift a voice, will we remember? The day will come.-J.G.
Congress Turns Back on Bill Enforcing Salary Limitation
The United States Congress has, with its erasure of the President's salary limitation, at last shown beyond a doubt just where its interests lie in the present struggle. All the eloquent words of the press in 1942 concerning "the most promising legislative bodies since 1932" are now empty words, for those same legislators have shown themselves unable to arise above class interests and fight the war as it should be fought—as a people's war.
While the President's plan was publicized as a $25,000 limitation, it was practically a limitation placed at $67,200. Under such a ceiling there could have been no want—no need. It was merely a measure to insure that the war would prove of no special profit to any one small group. Wage earners have been placed at a very strict ceiling some $65,000 below this figure, and their demands for increases have been denounced as unpatriotic assaults upon the anti-inflationary program. Capital, however, champed at their higher level, strained and burst that ceiling with the aid of a pressure group more powerful, more selfish, than any Congressional labor or farm bloc.
Just Wondering
If Elmer Davis' charge that meat is being "piled up" in the Middle West is true, why aren't we in the Middle West seeing more of it.
--ever, champed at their higher level, strained and burst that ceiling with the aid of a pressure group more powerful, more selfish, than any Congressional labor or farm bloc.
The President's order was attacked by Senator Walter George as a Communistic measure meant to produce an equality of earnings. If Senate George considers that $67,200 and the $3,000 received by the laborer to be equality, then his mathematics are not those commonly practiced in the public schools of America. Faced with a choice between these two "equal" figures, the Georgian reactionary would probably waste little time in indicating the former.
Senator George declares that millions of Americans like to feel that it is within their power to earn more than $25,000 a year, ignoring the millions who like to feel that from this war there will emerge no new millionaires—no men who have profited while others died.
Congressmen such as George and Taft in the past have shown a touching regard for the salary differences between the man on the front line risking his life at $50 a month, and the man at home turning out his weapons for $300 a month. Now, they seem perfectly willing to turn their backs on the contrast of the serviceman receiving his $600 a year, and the millionaire receiving $300,000.
They can cloak their actions in all the eloquent ravings against Communistic tendencies they want to, but many Americans strongly suspect that Congress has a few tendencies of itself—not the least of which is a dogged determination that this war, when won, will be a victory for the big men in the swivel chairs—the men who stayed behind and didn't sweat—not those who worked and fought.—JDK

Rock Chalk Talk

"This is 2315J, Buzzy Robbins, Phi Gamma Delta, speaking. What's this?" asked Buzzy.
The Genesis: Buzy Robbins was called to the phone at dawn. The conversation wasn't very coherent. "What number is this, anyway?" a voice asked.
"This is April, Fool."
Even in the classroom: The spirit prevailed. A professor named Johnson gave his applied mechanics students a shot gun. "This is an April Fools shot gun," he said. Those of you who didn't study are April Fools."

Gamma Phi Beta: Had an April Fool's day party. It was a very interesting party. Sarepta Pierpont wore a lampshade. 'Janet Hawes and Jackie Starr wore diapers.

Delta Upsilon: Spent the evening feeling for Clark Henry. Clark had a string of dates beginning Thursday and closing with a lively finish in K.C. Saturday with Nancy Jane Peterson. When he arrived at the Theta house Thursday, Clark was confronted with a huge sign announcing the setting out of the Clark Expedition for the purpose of exploring the great northeast and other things of interest. Editing comment at the bottom of the bill compared Clark to other explorers and said that at least he had lots of hair. (This alluded Bob Bellamy.) Clark was embarrassed, Nancy was embarrassed—but they left on the expedition.

Alpha Chi Omega: A house boy came upstairs to deliver laundry and the usual call of "man on second" rang out. Mary Christensen thought it was just another joke, so she left the room in a slip, promptly running into and nearly upsetting the man on second.
Kappa Kappa Gamma: Joe Cassidy, Metz Wright, Beta; Dick Rosberg, Sig Alph; and Byden Crouch, house boys, entirely on their own initiative, served dinner backwards, poured water into rainhats, wore overcoats to pass "frozen" articles, sang and danced between courses, threw dishes on the floor when they felt like it, and trumped up the pinning of Bev Frizell to Bobby Blackwell, Sig Alph.

(continued from page six) the war effort is in helping with various war-time drives. Dr. F. C. Allen has emphasized the part women played in making the recent Red Cross drive for funds reach its goal. Through the Co-ed Volunteer Corps, University women have also helped with other drives, including those for the sale of defense bonds and stamps, surveys, and Jayhawk nursery funds.
In the realm of entertainment, which is also considered a vital part of war work, University women can, and are, doing their bit for the service men by being hostesses at occasional parties.
Donate Blood
To aid those wounded in battle and civilian disasters, the women of the University, as well as the men, have contributed blood plasma. Students have already been given an opportunity to contribute to the blood bank for civilian disaster and are now volunteering to give blood to the mobile unit of the Red Cross.
Another war-work job is that of being an air-raid warden. The Hill has its own system of civilian defense with an air-raid warden in each house. The women participate in this program, being organized for action in the events of blackouts or possible emergencies.
One organized military group is composed of women students who are members of the Civil Air Patrol. These women, organized for civilian defense in case of disaster, drill one night each week in addition to studying first aid and specialized courses.

Female Russian Flier Downs Third Nazi Plane To Tie Record
Lily Litviak, a junior lieutenant of the guard in Moscow, destroyed a German plane in fighting on the southern front in a recent attack. This was the third Nazi plane she has destroyed.
A dispatch said German fighters headed for a city along the Donets and Lily was the first fighter pilot to take off. She was wounded early in the attack but continued to fight, finally sending a Messerschmitt to the ground in flames.
Another girl fighter pilot is Katya Budanova, tall and dark. She and Lily took part in the air defense of Stalingrad. Both live in Moscow and each has fought 130 sky battles. Katya, too, has downed three planes in individual fights. Both wear Red Star decorations.

Walker Wants 1944 Campaign Short
Washington, (INS)—Parrying all questions about a fourth term for President Roosevelt, Frank Walker, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, declared today that he would like to see an agreement between the Democrats and Republicans to hold a short presidential election campaign next year.
Walker, who has just returned from a trip through ten western states, declared that the prospects for the democratic party in 1944 were "very good." Bricker. Willkie Mentioned
He said that the names of Gov. John Bricker of Ohio and Wendell L. Willkie had been mentioned most by political leaders as they speculated on who the Republicans would nominate for president in 1944.
in discussing Democratic candidates with state leaders Walker declared that the name of former Postmaster General James Farley was mentioned "very frequently," while that of Vice President Henry A. Wallace was heard "very little."
Throughout a long press conference, Walker consistently refused to
talk about a possible fourth term for Mr. Roosevelt.
"It's too early to talk candidates." Denver Wants Convention
"Personally," Walker declared, "I would like to see an agreement with both political parties for a short campaign. September and October would not be bad. I'd rather have a late convention. I'd like to see the campaign conducted on a very high plane."
He refused to speculate on a convention date or a convention city, although he added that Denver leaders were anxious to bring the convention to the Colorado city.
Walker was asked what complaints were voiced by state democratic political leaders whom he conferred with on his trip through Wisconsin
Tennessee Cancels Two Spring Sports
Knoxville, Tenn., April 1, (INS) Because of the shortage of athletes, the University of Tennessee's athletic council has cancelled the Volunteers' spring baseball and track programs, Coach John Barnhill announced today.

that the Democrats were appointing too many Republicans to jobs in war agencies, particularly in cities outside of Washington.
Michelson Returns To Democratic Payroll
Washington, (INS) — Frank Walker, Postmaster General and chairman of the Democratic national committee, announced today that Charles Michelson, newspaperman, was back on the payroll as director of publicity for the Democratic party.
Mr. Michelson resigned from the $25,000 a year job a few months ago, but remained at Democratic national headquarters to aid the party in whatever way he could. Since that time, Mr. Michelson has been put back on the payroll, Mr. Walker said, but he declared that it would be up to Mr. Michelson to reveal his salary.
"Charlie Michelson can stay there as long as he likes," Walker declared.

CLOTHES HOARDERS They May Be Sorry Styles Change
New York, (INS)—Clothes hoarders, who swept the clothes racks of the stores almost bare in apparent belief that there'd be no more clothes for the duration, will be dismused to learn that designers are already at work on 1943 fall collections.
These fashions, the designers predict, will make the hoarder's look just like what they are-last year's styles. Chang-
These fashions, the designers clothes look just like what the ing styles, possible even under the limitations of WPB's clothes conservation order are the industry's insurance against a recurrence of panic buying waves officials of the New York Dress Institute, trade association of the New York fashion industry, pointed out yesterday.
Fashion is unpredictable
"Don't kid yourself into thinking that you are clairvoyant enough to know what you will want to wear next season," Dorothy Anderson, executive director of the institute, said. "There will be too many new things at that time that will change your point of view."
"Fashion is a flexible, living, moving force. It never stays in one spot, but moves forward in key with the times. As further conservation orders will be coming out of Washington during the war, it is inevitable that they will result in a flow of new fashions, sound fashions that reflect tomorrow's living," she adds.
Spring styles are slimmer
Last fall's clothes, the first made under the L-85 material conserving order, already look old when compared to this spring's stlyes, made under the same order. Styles for spring are slimmer and more subtly draped. Jackets are shorter and softer and the long, baggy coat is out completely.
First results of the voluntary fabric conservation program inaugurated last December by a panel of leading manufacturers and designers are now apparent in spring styles.
They pledged themselves to conserve even greater yardages than required by the L85 order, and to do it without sacrificing grace, comfort and attractiveness that American women demand.
Dirndts are out
They've substituted trouser pleated skirts for last fall's modified dirndls, and barrel shaped shirts have been outmoded by the graceful sheath, often softened by a shirred or pleated ruffle. Short sleeves have become shorter, and all of this has been done with no suggestion of skimping, yet the clothes have an entirely new look.
One manufacturer, who sold 15,000 dresses of one model this year, has modified the model to spring 1943 style and saved a half a yard of material a dress—a total of 7,500 yards on the one style alone.

"All the fashion industry deplores panic buying rushes that completely sweep stocks out of the stores," one New York dress institute official said. It's as devastating as a run on a bank. It upsets the normal flow of merchandise and creates the impression of shortages that would not exist without the disturbance."

Meanwhile giant Flying Fortresses and Liberator bombers blasted a concentration of 13 Japanese warships and cargo vessels off New Ireland, New Britain.
In Washington the navy revealed that four-motored American planes had raided the Jap base at Kiska in the Aleutian Islands four times on Thursday, raising to 38 the total number of attacks on this base since March 1.

Russian troops continued to move forward in the Kuban region of the western Caucasus, but no important changes took place on any of the other fighting fronts.
American submarines operating in the Pacific and Far Eastern waters have sunk four more Japanese vessels and damaged three others, the navy announced.
In the damaged category were one medium sized freighter, which was probably sunk, and one destroyer and one medium-sized freighter.
Sailors Given Musical Treat At 'Happy Hour'
Listed as sunk were one destroyer, one large transport, and two medium-sized freighters.

Betty Cohagan sang "Until This Day," an original composition by Gene Jennings.

Meat Spoils
Dallas, Tex., (INS)—Meat which was entirely absent, and at best very scarce in Texas a week ago, was an over-supply problem at many state markets Friday, according to reports to Harold F. Carmichael, district rationing officer for the Office of Price Administration.
Dealers were reporting that housewives simply had declined to buy and use their limited, precious red coupons, and as a result there were fears that considerable meat would spoil on the counters. The dealers were asking what to do. The OPA representatives had no advice to offer.
However, there was a provision in the rationing regulations that dealers who were overstocked might hold a "point bargain" sale to move the perishable product, but there was considerable red tape and tight restrictions around any such arrangements.
Ft. Worth Woman Is Held For Shooting
Tulsa, (INS)—Mrs. Ella B. Howard, 44-year-old Ft. Worth, Texas, divorcee, will be held for trial in district court on a charge of manslaughter according to a decision of Judge Grady S. Cornett in common pleas court. She was granted bail in the amount of $10,000.
Time to Draft Fathers Draws Rapidly Nearer
Washington, (INS)—Drafting of married men with children drew steadily nearer Friday.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national draft director, said that selective Service Headquarters is considering revoking its order of last summer instructing local draft boards not to induct fathers with pre-Pearl Harbor dependents, who are maintaining a bonafide relationship with their families.
Hershey said the time for reclassifying fathers is "approaching more rapidly than we like to think about," and indicated that draft boards would probably have to start taking married men with pre-Pearl-Harbor dependents about July 1.
He denied that any basic changes were being considered in the draft classification system, however. Questioned about reports that Selective Service officials are planning to establish the dependency draft classifications—3-A, 3-B, and 3-C he said;
"The WMC is engaged currently and perpetually in the restudy of classifications, thus meeting the changing conditions with the fluid manpower pool."

Back To Nature Trend Halted By ISA Formal
Substantiating the old theory that variety is the spice of life, campus society, which seemed overwhelmingly on the rugged side Friday—with four steak fries compared to two more aesthetic movements, Watkin's semi-formal program dance and Kappa Phi's date party in the Methodist church—became suddenly sophisticated Saturday. The ISA Jay Hop, semi-formal, with its election of a queen and its music by Bachmann and Pope, was the civilizing influence.
Today, however, it would seem that the eternal pendulum has once more heeded nature's call. The only event scheduled is a picnic given by the Rock Chalk Coop at Smith's farm. Guests will be a part of the great out of doors from 5 until 10.

Jack Payne's home run in the first inning with the bases loaded and Mike Gubar's four bagger with two on in the sixth inning clinched the softball game, yesterday, for Alpha Tau Omega who swamped Triangle, 18 to 6. Combining four walks, two singles, and Gubar's home run the ATO's scored 7 runs in the 6th inning before an out
With Bill Conboy whiffing 12 batters, Beta Theta Pi edged out Battenfeld Hall, 4 to 3. Battenfeld scored its three runs in the second, third, and sixth innings. The Beta's scored two in the first, as a result of Jim Roderick's home run, and one in each of the fifth and sixth innings.
Hedrick Pitches Shutout
Clay Hedrick pitched masterful ball as his Phi Delta Theta team mates shut out Phi Kappa Psi, 14 to 0. The Phi Psi's only twice got more than one man on the bases, getting two on in the first and seventh innings.
Friday's Games
Rock Chalk Co-op forfeited the other game to Theta Tau.
In Friday afternoon's intramural softball games Phi Delta Theta trounced Delta Tau Delta, 17 to 5; Sigma Chi defeated Sigma Phi Epsilon, 9 to 5; and Sigma Alpha Epsilon shaded Templin Hall, 6 to 4. The game between Alpha Chi Sigma and Delta Upsilon was postponed until Tuesday.
7 Runs In 2nd Inning
In a big second inning Phi Delta Theta insured their victory over Delta Tau Delta by adding seven runs to their 17 to 5 final score.
Bill Norris pitched the Sigma Chi's to a 9 to 5 victory over Sigma Phi Epsilon in spite of serving up three home run balls, two to Bruce Kresie and one to Bob Jelinek. In the third and fifth innings the Sigma Chi's made their strongest bids, scoring three runs in each.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon settled down to defeat Templin Hall, 6 to 4, after the score was tied 4-all in the third inning. Templin's runs were confined to four, two each in the first and third innings.
Track Entries Due Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the deadline for all entries in the intramural track and field meet, April 8 and 9, Henry Shenk, intramural director, announced today. The entries must be turned in at the intramural office before 5 p.m.
The deadline for the playing of all first round tennis, horseshoes, handball, and golf matches is also tomorrow, Shenk said. All second round matches in the same sports must be played on or before next Friday.
First Aid Kit In All Cars Is Phog's Aim
"A first aid kit in every automobile" is the aim of the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Association which held a central meeting, Friday afternoon, in a Kansas City hotel.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, University basketball coach, suggested this aim at the meeting and asked that the association ask every state legislature to pass laws requiring every automobile in the United Sates to carry a first aid kit.
Dr. Allen stressed the importance of such a kit in case of an accident. He said that it is much more important than the gadgets that automobile salesmen stress in their sales talks. It is the hope of Dr. Allen that a first aid kit will become part of the standard equipment of the post-war automobile.

WEST TAKES BASKETBALL LAURELS
It looks like the West can take all the laurels this year for producing an undisputed national basketball champion.

WYOMING WINS NCAA TITLE
Tuesday evening in Madison Square Garden, Wyoming, Western NCAA champion, walloped Georgetown, Eastern NCAA champion, by twelve points, 46 to 34. It was a close game all the way until Wyoming began putting on the pressure in the last five minutes. Up until that time not more than five points separated the two teams who had tied the score five times in each half.
COWBOYS WHIP ST. JOHNS
***
Not contented with just the NCAA championship, the Wyoming Cowboys whipped St. John's, Madison Square Garden's Invitational champion, in an overtime contest Thursday night, 52 to 47. The Cowboys had a 5 point lead as the game entered the last minute of play, but St. John's erased that lead and forced the game into an overtime period. Cowboy Weir became a one-man gang in that extra period and scored 5 points before he was ejected from the game on fouls—he had scored only 8 points during the regulation game. Komenich of Wyoming had a slight margin over Boykoff in the game's battle of giant centers, the Wyoming pivot man scoring 20 points to Boykoff's 17.
ANOTHER ALL-AMERICAN TEAM
---
With the basketball season ended, why not select an All-American team composed entirely of so-called giant players. For that team we nominate Black of Kansas, Komenich of Wyoming, Tucker of Oklahoma, Boykoff of St. John's, and Beisser of Creighton. We believe that such a team in a regulation basketball season could set new national offensive and defensive records. It should have control of all rebounds, and probably could deflect 90 percent of all tries for arched field goals.

This will be the premiere performance of "Primitive Rhapsody," the first known work of its kind in which music, poetry, dancing, and sculpture are incorporated simultaneously around a given theme. A series of designs interpreting "Primitive Rhapsody" done by students in the department of design under the direction of Miss Marjorie Whitney will be on display in the lobby.

Students Not Voting on Constitution Have No Right To Criticize Government
The voice of University students clamoring for student government and more power should, by all rights, be only a murmur after the exceeding small number of students who participated in the vote for the new all-student unicameral constitution.
With only 522 students voting, it is clear just how interested the student body is in such matters. Persons have asked and some have practically demanded that student government be given more rights and more freedom. They have blamed the Chancellor and the administration for having too tight a rein on the activities of the student body. "The student organizations don't do anything; they haven't any power; it's all a farce," they say.
After Thursday's turn-out for the vote, there are very few persons on the campus who have a right to say anything against student government or how it is operated. In fact, there are very few persons on the campus who have a right to say anything against student government or how it is operated. In fact, there are very few—only about 500—who have any right to student government at all.
Working hard and constantly throughout a large part of the year, a student and administrative committee has been investigating student government and the relationship with the administration for the benefit of the total University body. This committee has been conscientious and has set up a constructive plan whereby the students can have the voice in government that they have been asking. Then at one of the most important elections effecting student government, only 522 have enough interest to vote.
Is it any wonder that student government bodies and the administration give up in their attempts to give governing power when they receive no more support from the student body than that shown Thursday?
WPB Planning Committee Head Is Demoted After Controversies
Bob Nathan, talented progressive New Dealer and head of the War Production Board's Planning Committee, is on his way out as a result of a demotion which prompted the young economist to request immediate call to military duty as an army private. Nathan's principal fault leading to his demotion seems to be that repeatedly in encounters with business and military-minded bigwigs in the WPB he proved to be the one who was right.
It was Nathan who battled for an early expansion of our steel and other vital industries, who, through the Smaller War Plants Corporation, brought those lesser factories more completely into the nation's war effort, and who repeatedly exposed certain conservative dollar-a-year men as the obstacles to the United Nation cause that they were.
At present he is engaged in a controversy with heads of our military forces. He has shown that figures on our shipping facilities indicate that it is impossible to ship to the world's battlefronts the number of men requested by the army. He has pointed out that, since it is impossible to use these men immediately in combat, they should be stationed in the factories and on the farms until the time actually arrives when their training should begin before transportation across sea.
Just Wondering
Why a modern receptacle isn't provided at the circulation desk of Watson library to protect students from being charged with books which might be taken from the desk before they are checked as being returned.
Nathan and other progressive members of the WPB fear that any army as large as the one requested could be desired for only two reasons by conservative army officers: (1) for excessive policing of the world following victory, or (2) for a war with Russia after the present struggle. Either of these measures they regard as dangerous and undesirable.
When the demotion came, Nathan was also pressing for the concentrated production of needed civilian supplies in a small number of large factories, so plants and manpower could be conserved for essential war work.
Perhaps Nathan's cause was best championed by William Lord O'Brien, WPB general counsel, who said, when informed of the demotion: "I can't see why the Planning Committee should be demoted. It's the only one that has been right."—JDK
Hugh Dalton, president of England's Board of Trade, said after considering men's clothing. "Men are a great problem. They are too conservative." Women have known this for a long time.

Activity consciences: Eddie Hansen, Sonny Love, Bud Netzer, and Frank Godding, Kappa Sgis, have received recognition as being four of the most active members of that noble institution, the Thank God It's Friday club. Following their traditional beers (s-s-s) Friday afternoon, this quartet habitually adjourns to the intramural field. Where-upon, in their cars they play at air squadron. The fellows line up and drill—at full speed. Hansen generally leads. He is a bomber, Netzer and Love suffer under the illusion at such times that they are pursuit planes while Godding brings up the rear in the role of an oil tanker, capacity unlimited.

The rumor is not officially confirmed, but the Phi Psi's believe that the purpose of the trip is to provide an opportunity for "Bobby" to meet "the folks." Phi Psi freshmen take turns polishing Barton's pin. It will be ready at a moment's notice.

So this is what the dairy service is coming to: An article submitted by Gerald Tewell in long hand to this column recently caused a great disturbance among members of the department of journalism. Tewell began by saying that the characters in his story were Lily Rose Lyons, Jean Kaufman, A. D. Pi's, and a cow.
The action had something to do with Lily Rose and Jean waking up, finding a big black cow in their room, and screaming.
Although the story seemed improbable, many intelligent journalists were involved in a discussion of how a cow would go about getting up on the second story of the A. D. Pi house, when some budding chirographer announced that the correct interpretation of Tewell's scrawl was crow, not cow.

Uncle Sam Is Ready Gas Warfare
Denver, (INS), The War Department's secrecy concerning war gasses was partly lifted this week, when a small group of newsmen was permitted to inspect one of Uncle Sam's biggest chemical warfare plants and to interview a ranking officer-expert.
"When will the United States start using war gasses?" This
"When will the United States reporter asked Col. W. J. Ungethuem, commanding officer of the $50,000,000 chemical warfare plant located near Denver.
The colonel, a hard-bitten specialist, smiled grimly and hesitated before replying: "When the President decides to use it." No Cinch To See Gases Made
No Cinch To See Gases Made
Just a few minutes before, on a seven-hour tour of the Rocky Mountain arsenal, we had watched the manufacture of thousands of drums of three war gases—chlorine, mustard and Lewisite. It is no simple job to see such gases made.
We passed armed guards and a gigantic sign at the entrance which said: "Those passing here are liable to be shot, arrested, jailed and prosecuted." It was a grim warning that the arsenal's guards had instructions to "shoot first, then ask questions."
After brief warnings from Capt. Thomas E. Sears, Jr., and other officers, we were taken to a room and ordered to shed our clothing. Then, we were outfitted in impregnated clothing and given gas masks.
We were shown the works.
When the tour was completed, we were ushered into a shower bath, given nose and throat sprays, and given back our civilian clothes. Gases Are Not Inhumane
Capt. Maurice M. Clement, fire marshal at the plant and former fire-chief at Long Beach, Calif., gave
a lecture on chemical warfare saying: "Some people thing it is inhumane to use war gases. But that is not true. Yes, some two per cent of the casualties die—but the important point is that the other casualties are incapacitated.
"This incapacitating point is of great tactical value. Killing is not always the first aim of an army. To incapacitate soldiers is worth more than to kill, because these men must be given treatment and must be evacuated, tying up thousands of others."
Fifteen Well Known Gases Outlined With Colonel Ungethuem's permission, Captain Clement outlined 15 well known gases, as follows:
1. Four screening smokes; these chemicals are not dangerous and are used for tactical purposes.
2. Two toxic smokes; these affect the nasal passages and incapacitate men up to 12 hours.
2. Two tear gases; these are used to break up formations, in the manner that G-men go after mobsters.
4. Four lung irritants; these probable are the most lethal.
5. Three blistering gases—mustard, Lewisite, and a third one that is not as effective as the first two; these are, without question, the worst of the lot, because they enter the body through any pore.
Then Colonel Ungethuem said: "We are ready to pour it on, if and when the time comes to use chemical warfare.

Washington, (INS)—A flying fortress—"The Yard Bird"—was back at its British base Friday after fighting it out with 26 enemy aircraft over France.
B-17's Tangle With 26 Nazis
The giant B-17 completed its bombing mission on the Nazi submarine base at St. Lorient despite severe damage from three .20 cannon shells.
In a high altitude, daylight raid over the submarine pens, the U. S. plane, attached to the eighth air force, was enroute home when a swarm of German fighter craft appeared.
Call 432
In a running air battle, one shell hit the wing of the flying fortress and exploded, breaking the main spar. Another exploded in the fuselage, and the third ripped the right wing.
INDEPENDENT Laundry & Dry Cleaners
The left wing was vibrating so badly that crew members though it would break off. Despite its crippled condition, the plane joined another American B-17 on which a covey of Nazi fighters had joined for the kill. Together, the two fortresses fought their way across the English channel.

Chicago, (INS)—A group of war industry executives was told today that army officials should be consulted before war production plants are camouflaged.
First Lieut. J. W. Farrar, of Matton, Ill., pilot of "The Yard Bird," estimated that 26 Nazi planes engaged in the air battle. The plane's gunners claimed an unconfirmed seven craft shot down. Only 11 enemy fighters remained when spitfires
The advice came from Charles A. Sloat, instructor at the Purdue University Protective School who explained cheerfully:

Featuring discussions of long range post-war planning in debates, as well as interesting condensations of essential information in addresses before civic organizations and high school groups, the speakers aim at alleviating the ignorance of the public on subjects connected with the war and providing a basis for the formation of thought on post-war problems.
Library Provides Material
A material aid in the activities of both these organizations, the War Information library provides pamphlet material covering all phases of the question of a post-war world. Periodicals, official bulletins, and bibliographies compiled by authorities on international problems set forth numerous theories of post-war procedure, and provide opportunity for understanding the problems to be met as well as the proposed methods

P. W. Viesselman Edits Supplement
The first three-year supplement to the Manual of Federal Procedure, edited by Prof. P. W. Viesselman of the School of Law, has just been released by West Publishing company. The manual, which jurists throughout the country recognize as the only complete work of its kind, sets forth the federal rules of civil procedure adopted in 1938 and constituting the most vital procedural reform in almost a century of American legal history.
The supplement which Professor Viesselman edited contains some 4,000 additional citations and analyses of cases decided by federal courts concerning the vast number of procedural questions which have arisen since 1938. The new pocket supplement contains authoritative interpretations of federal rules down to January 1, 1943.

Speakers Will Tour To Tell Facts of War
The Victory Speakers Bureau, aiming to present war facts and information to the public, have organized for tours, Thursday and Friday, Prof. E. C. Buehler, director of the bureau, said today.
The speakers will appear in Kansas City before a Kiwanis club meeting at 12:30, Thursday morning; at the Wyandotte High School at 2:30; and before the Bonner Spring's Rotary club at 6:30. Friday's tour will take them to Humboldt for a high school assembly at 9:30 and Chanute for a general assembly of the junior college and high school at 11. The bureau has scheduled another engagement for 2:30, but the place is still undetermined.
Four of the speakers will present their speeches at the Trinity Lutheran church meeting at 6:30 tonight. The topics to be discussed will be "Medicine in Modern War" by Jesie Farmer, College senior; "The Miracle of Russia" by Newell Jenkins, College junior; "How to Pay for This War" by Bill Hough, College sophomore; and "Tank Warfare" by Judson Goodrich, College junior
Three of the speakers, Jack Parker, Bill Hough, and Newell Jenkins, presented their speeches before a student assembly at Haskell Institute Sunday night. Parker spoke on the subject, "Medicine in Modern War;" Hough, "How to Pay for This War;" and Jenkins, "The Miracle of Russia."
Other subjects which Mr. Buehler indicated have been popular are "The Culbertson Plan for Peace after the War" and "The New Geography."
$500 Loss Incurred In Stadium Fire
Five hundred dollars damage was the estimate placed by E. L. Falkenstein, financial secretary of the athletic association, on the fire Saturday night in the press box of the Memorial stadium. The fire was undoubtedly the result of carelessness or intent on the part of persons breaking into the press box indicated by smashed windows, as there was no defective wiring or other possible fire hazard about the press box he said.
The fire broke out shortly before midnight in the north end of the press box where the broadcasting booths are situated. Most of the damage occurred in broken and damaged plate glass partitions.
Repairs, however, won't amount to as much as the damage, Falkenstein reported, because the glass will be replaced with composition board panels which will provide just as effective soundproofing. One hundred fifty panes of glass were ruined.
Dandelions
No Enthusiam
For the Day
Seemingly insignificant in the face of more timely problems, the dandelion question received no decision at the meeting of both the student councils last night. The students expressed a complete lack of enthusiasm and dismissed the suggestion as pointless, Newell Jenkins, secretary of the MSC, said.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott said that the first dandelion day in 1941 was a great success, and he was in hopes that the effort would become traditional, but that it would be unwise to do anything now which involves a holiday. He, too, felt that the idea was not too practical in that now the dandelion is of relative unimportance. He suggested that if students could find time for this task on a Saturday afternoon, some solution might be gained. Unless a majority from the student body offered services, the attempt would probably be unsuccessful.
Nine Volunteer To Swell Quota
Nine students have volunteered as blood donors since the quota was filled Saturday noon, to make a total of 457 donors among students and townspeople.

Canuteson said this morning.

Council Plans Decisive Acts Next Tuesday
The bill on elections for the new All-Student Council was given its first airing at the combined meeting of the MSC and WSGA last night, but no definite action was taken, and the bill was referred back to its committee to be worked over and presented at the next meeting. A thorough hashing out of the bill is expected to take place at next Tuesday's meeting, said Vernon McKale, president of the MSC. This bill concerns all plans for the election of president and representatives to the council and takes up such details as apportionments of representatives from schools and organizations, counting of ballots, balloting, place of political parties and so on.
Submitted by Clarence Engle, College junior, the unfinished bill contained a clause stating the non-political organizations to be represented. The list included YMCA, YWCA, Inter-Fraternity Council, Pan Hellenic Council, Independent Student's Association, Men's dormitories, cooperative houses, Negro Student's Association, Jay James, and KuKu's. The list was understood to be tentative, and the constitution states that the organizations represented shall be changed as the council sees fit to change them.
The councils decided against holding a Dandelion Day, started two years ago to rid the campus of the weed, not because it wasn't a good idea, but because it wasn't practical in view of the University's speeded up schedule.

Engineers Will Take Fall Course This Summer
"The 16 week's summer semester will be the regular fall semester for the School of Engineering and Architecture," Prof. J. O. Jones, assistant dean of the school, announced yesterday.
All subjects regularly taught in the fall semester will be taught in summer school, he stated, and the semester beginning next fall will be the regular 1944 spring semester.
The summer session for the engineers will begin at the same time as that for the rest of the University, said Raymond Nichols, executive secretary. Orientation of new students begins May 22, registration and enrollment follow on the 24 and 25, and classes begin Wednesday, May 26, he said.
Professor Jones expects that most of the engineers will be in summer school this year because it's "either go to school this summer or go to the army." He also is planning on a large enrollment of freshmen.
"The entire staff of the School of Engineering and Architecture will be retained this summer," Professor Jones stated, "and we will probably need more teachers than we have now."

Tickets for the concert are on sale at the School of Fine Arts office or may be obtained at the box office tomorrow night for $2.00, $1.50, and $1.00 plus state and federal tax, Dean Donald M. Swarthout said.
Will Interview Women Desiring Radio Work
Women interested in radio or engineering work may be interviewed by Capt. Walter F. Thorpe, of the Signal Corps, in Room 109 Fraser, anytime before noon tomorrow, it was announced by military authorities today. A six-months course beginning April 19 in aircraft radio work will be offered for women at the University.
Following the intensive course, the student is required to sign an agreement for work at the laboratories at Wright field, Dayton, Ohio, as a junior engineer. The work in the laboratories consists of developing, designing, and research in aircraft radio, as assistant to an electric or radio engineer.
The course is based on intensive use of electricity and mathematics and how they apply to radio. While in training women are paid $1440 a year, with an increase in salary after completion of the course.
Captain Thorpe believes that a woman whose grades were up might receive credit for the semester of University work and enter the class April 19, too.

Roberta Sue McCluggage was the pitcher for Gamma Phi Beta and
Detroit Drops Spring Football
Detroit, (INS)—There will be no spring football practice at the University of Detroit, and baseball, tennis, and golf will be curtailed, it has been announced.
The change will not mean Detroit will lack a football squad next fall, however, according to athletic director Lloyd Brazil, who recommended the curtailment.
Brazil said there is "still a possibility of fielding a team, but because of the manpower shortage it would be unwise to attempt practice now."
Brazil disclosed only 12 or 14 gridders are left and most of them may be in service by July.
The school's athletic board delayed selection of a successor for Charles E. "Gus" Dorais, who resigned several months ago to direct the Detroit Lions. Arthur "Bud" Boeringer, line coach since 1527, is expected to get the post, however.
I-State Football Receives New Life
Ames, Iowa — New life was injected into Iowa State spring football with the appearance of two new candidates and the improved showing of another pair of the 34 Cyclones now reporting.
Meredith Warner, former all-state star from Des Moines, has reported to Coach Mike Michalske and now ranks as the likely looking back on the squad. A fine kicker and passer, the 175-pound halfback, has been out of competition for three years but looked good enough to the Cyclone coach to place him in the number one backfield at once
Bob Erickson of Boone, and Keith Koch of Waverly have drawn praise from Michalske for the fine work they have done during the first week of practice. Neither was able to participate too heavily in freshman drills last fall but the Cyclone mentor rates them as the top linemen in spring drills.
Orlyn Feuerbach, Keystone, letter winner in basketball, reported yesterday to bring the squad total to 34 men.
Lucy Lee Thompson was the catcher. The Kappa Kappa Gamma battery was pitcher, Josephine Johnson; and catcher, Jean Hoffman.

The following softball games were scheduled for play this afternoon; Tau Kappa Epsilon vs. Phi Gamma Delta; Jollife Hall vs. Beta Theta Pi "B"; Jolliffe Alpha Epsilon vs. Alpha Tau Omega; and Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Rock Chalk Coop.
Women Must Plan Games by Deadline
All matches in the women's tennis-doubles tournament must be played by the date set as a deadline. Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education said today. April 10 has been set as the deadline for first round matches.
If games are not played by the deadline, the matches will be "scratched." Miss Hoover explained that lack of time this spring has eliminated any possibility of postpone-ments.

The reason why Dr. Forrest C. Allen's proposed 12-foot basket is not gaining favor rapidly is because most coaches are either ignorant of the value of such a change or are afraid that they will have to teach their pupils to concentrate on other methods of producing goals.
THE 12-FOOT BASKET
***
The popular lay-up, or set-up shot, would have to be discarded in favor of shots made from farther out on the court. And if the lay-up shots are abandoned, as they would have to be with a 12-foot basket, the many fouls resulting from the drive-in plays would be done away with and a high percentage of games would no longer be decided on the free throw line. At present an incredible number of games are won on free-throws—52 percent to be exact.
DISCARDING THE LAY-UP SHOT
Along with his proposed change in the height of the basket, the Doctor is also suggesting that three points be allotted for a field goal. This was the original plan of Dr. Naismith who insisted that the ratio of points between field goals and free throws be 3 to 1.
---
***
A player on the losing team gains possession of the ball and drives down the court for a set-up. The only way that a defensive man can prevent such a goal is to foul the offensive player. Despite being fouled the player makes good his try for a set-up and the referee also awards him two free throws for being fouled while trying for a goal. He makes the first free throw. He misses the second free throw but a teammate tips it in for an extra two points. Five points, enough to win the game, are made as a result of attempting a set-up shot on a 10-foot basket. (This actually occurred in a college basketball game several years ago.)
HOW FREETHROWS CAN BRING VICTORY
To see just how freethrows can produce a victory for a team which is four points behind with less than a minute to play, consider the following situation.

Absentees Can't Vote In Their City Elections
By JEAN SELLERS
Students of voting age can't cut school to go home and vote today-even though their precincts are almost devoid of voters since the war. The local politicians are checking up, only to find the voters have slipped away to school and the army and are not participating in their $ ^{2} $
duties as voting citizens.
Students can't vote by absentee ballot in a city election. After a look at the general statutes, the supplement, and the Kansas Digest, and after consultation of three lawyers, it seems that the books mention absentee voting for every kind of an election, but a city election.
The only method by which this can be remedied is to submit the matter for legislation before the legislative committee in order that legislative committee in order that leg upon the subject of absentee voting in city elections. It is necessary that it will appear in the statutes.
The city election is the opportunity for the 21-year-old to participate in city government and yet the right is denied him because his educational interests demand his presence on the campus. By and large, the senior population, male and female, 21 or past, who will not be home to vote this city election may prove a sizable number when one considers that many men have gone to the army and other branches of the service.
This same thing happened in the last war—the soldiers were gone and the students were away, and the city elections became almost one man shows. The fact also holds true that after being away from the home town for a period of time, the student may not be interested.
Sigma Delta Chi Will Initiate Five Tonight
Five men will be initiated this evening into Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, in a ceremony to be held at 6 o'clock in the naval officers' club room of the Union building.

Men who will be initiated are Matt Heuertz and Dale Robinson, college seniors, Bhaage and Jimmy Gunn, college juniors, and Paul Brownlee, college sophomore.
All journalism men have been in-
vited to attend the dinner.

Supreme Court Ruled Government Not Liable to Indians
1119 Mass.
Washington, (INS) — The supreme court ruled yesterday that the federal government is not liable to the Creek and Seminole Indian nations for damages for "station reservations" granted railroads within tribal reservations.
The indian nations claimed that the "station reservations," frequently 20 acre tracts, were granted to railroads but not used for railroad purposes. Instead, they contended, the railroads derived profit by leasing the lands.
Justices Frankfurter and Murphy dissented.

Eating Better Meals
Incidentally, junior commando isn't the only thing that's building up our health (that's what it's for, really fellows). Students are eating more wholesome, better-balanced meals this year, care owners say. Whereas, in former years, they'd order sandwiches and malts for dinner, they now order regular dinners. And this means meat!
Mid-morning breakfast business is better, and one owner reported that students are eating heavier breakfasts now than they have in the past seven years. Emphasized was the fact that the women are eating more now. Another jelly joint manager said there was a noticeable increase in eating between meals, especially in the evening.
The whole meat situation is uncertain at the present time, as it has not been given a permanent working basis, and has not been in operation long enough. Anyway, even if there aren't any hamburgers and\steaks, students can all turn vegetarians.
OPA Rules Fats, Bones Point Free For Seeing-Eye Dogs
Washington, (INS) — In response to appeals that some provision be made in the meat rationing regulations to supply food for seeing eye dogs, the OPA ruled today that rendering fats and bones, such as suet and rib bones, may be sold point free for use as animal foods.
Rendering fats and bones are byproducts of boning operations at all trade levels. Slaughterers, wholesalers, and retailers customarily sell them to renderers who draw off the grease for use in making a variety of inedible products, including soap and glycerines.
Lean trimmings, co-mingled with these rendering fats and bones also may be sold point free for animal food, the OPA said.

Victory Gardens and Manpower Lack Leave Dandelion Question to Students
With the coming of spring, the day when the common dandelion will again scatter across Mount Oread is not for away. While the dandelion menace has been checked the last few years, this year other problems are added to the question of how to rid the campus of these pests which detract from the beauty of the campus grounds.
Last year, when students could not have a day off for digging dandelions and so took no initiative in solving the problem, the faculty gathered one afternoon after classes and did the job. This year, however, many of the faculty members have victory gardens that will need constant work and care. What time they have for digging in the soil should, by all rights, be spent in working in their gardens—a task for which many members of the faculty have too little time as it is.
The department of buildings and grounds has been so affected by the manpower shortage that it would be impossible for its men to take time for special work on dandelions. Those employees have enough to do keeping the grass cut and watered and taking care of the Hill in general.
With the shortened semester and the fast approaching end of the year, it would be impractical to think that students could take a day off for the job. On the other hand, after th diligent work on the dandelions for the last two years, the crop this year should be small, and not a great deal of time will be needed to clear the Hill of the ugly menace.
Isn't this a time when students could give up a few hours some afternoon or some Saturday to help maintain the appearance of the campus and to keep from losing the steady gain made on the dandelion problem during the past two years?
A nineteen-year-old Chicago girl has resolved, after being jilted by a navy man, that she is "through with soldiers, sailors, and marines." She must "want to be alone."
Mexico Takes Step With Allies By Sending Minister To Russia
Luis Quintanilla arrived in Kuibyshev by plane last week as Mexico's first minister to Russia in ten years. With this diplomatic action, Mexico takes another step in proving herself a friend of the Allies and a nation growing in international influence.
During the past three years, since President Manuel Avila Camacho has assumed the duties as President of the neighbor to the South, Mexico has changed in her world position as well as in her dealings with the United States. The direction of President Camacho has brought stability to the Mexican people and has changed them from a people who distrusted the Yankees to a people who are staunch supporters of the United States in its fight against the Axis.
Even before his election, the Mexican President had been firmly aligned with the United States and her policies. He had demanded, as the ranking general of the Mexican army, that Mexico's armed forces be supplied with U.S. planes, tanks, and guns. At the outbreak of

the war, Camacho saw that Mexico's future was with the United States and not against it. He banned Nazi newspapers, cut Nazis off the air, purged his government of fifth columnists, and exposed Germany's plot to include Mexicans in the same Nordic race class as the Germans.
Now added to this list of actions which have drawn Mexico closer and closer to the Allies is this step in bringing about workable relations with Russia. For ten years, the two countries have been independent of one another, but through the fight against a common enemy and through cooperation with friendly allies, the two nations now have a basis for diplomatic relations.
Out of such important steps as these, Mexico is determined to overcome her backward ways and to take a definite place in the world. With leadership of such men as Camacho within the country and with outstanding diplomats in other important nations, Mexico could easily be led to forget her inner strife and trouble and to turn into a strong promising power.

The stork is pretty jealous: Dick Pile told whoever it was on the other end of the line that his roommate, Les Butterfield was out and that this was Pile, his roommate and what could he do. And the voice shrieked, "Oh, you're Dr. Pile, Dr. Butterfield's assistant, whom we've heard so much about. This is the humanitarian of Wattin's hall and we have a dog over here who is in desperate need of medical attention, and do you suppose you could come right over?"
Somewhat in a fog, File went over. The dog was thrust into his arms and a chorus of girls pleaded with him to do what he could.
Later on that night—much later, Watkin's was awakened, and a haggard Pile and Butterfield announced over the phone the arrival of six blessed events—plump rosy girls, apparently. The two doctors, after consulting the proud mother, selected the following names: Joyce (Durall), Eileen (Smith), Alice (Lewis), Joan (Justice), Bertha (Cummings), Marie (Larson), and Tizie Lish. Tizie is for the till-now-anonymous humanitarian, Ann Stevens.

Sigma Chi handiwork: Chief topic of conversation at the Theta breakfast table this morning was "how do the D. T.'s feel?" Out on the front walk was a very realistic apparition of a jalopy—no tires, no wheels—but still a jalopy.
A man's home his castle? The Phi Gam's were eating dinner peacefully Monday when a loud army march from the Victrola suddenly drowned all conversation. From the kitchen marched Warren Riegle bearing a white envelope on a huge tray. He was followed by Vic Costello and Ned Smull with wash mops over shoulders. Every Fiji clutched his throat—it was evident the time of one of their numbers had come. "Thumper" (Jim) Heaton proved to be the doomed man. The draft orders were delivered ceremoniously to his place.
The posse organized finally found the criminals on the floor of the D. G. linen closet—area 4 square feet—playing bridge. They played minus a fourth because when they shut the door the fourth had been on the outside, and bidding through the partition was inconvenient as well as suspicious. The girls were given away by the smoke from their cigarettes which poured out of cracks around the closet and caused somewhat of a panic.

Meat Fades From Menu Vegetarian Diet

Restaurants here are on a temporary point basis for meat until the rationing board gets their inventories processed. Most of them have enough meat for?
Hamburger lovers are faring pretty well on the Hill now, but their future is a little uncertain. That's the opinion of the managers of the local jelly joints.
Restaurants here are on a until the rationing board gets th of them have enough meat for two weeks, but after that the going may be a little rough, they believe. However, the present situation is very uncertain
Students reminise now about the good old days when the menus featured veal cutlets and pork chops, and bacon for breakfast. Beef makes the print most often these days, with lamb running second. Ham is seen sometimes. While restaurants have little difficulty in getting enough meat for meals, they have had little choice as to the kind of meat, having to take what they can get.
Was that steak (gosh, a steak!) a little tough today? Blame it on Hitler if you wish, for the quality of meat received is inconsistent—
Chicken, for which no points are required, seems to be impossible to get in Lawrence; so cooks can't substitute it for meat. Those scrambled eggs you had for breakfast may be the cause of no fried chicken (and it's spring, too.) Chicken raisers, because of the high price of eggs, are selling the eggs, and not the chickens. Fish, the other substitute for meat, is difficult to purchase, too, because of the demand for it. If more poultry were available, the jelly joints could probably get by the last two weeks, in case the meat supply should prove insufficient
In the event the meat situation does get desperate, one of the foli (continued to page five)

House Passes Overtime Bill
Washington, (INS)—The house by a vote of 224 to 107 yesterday passed a bill continuing overtime pay for government employees, the action coming under a contested "gag" rule which limited debate and prevented amendments of the measure.
Democrats joined Republicans in opposing the suspension of regular rules sought by Rep. Ramspeck (D.Ga.) chairman of the civil service committee. The passage under the "gag" rule was rejected on a standing vote, but was approved on the roll call.
The bill continues for two years overtime pay on the first $2900 of salaries of government workers receiving less than $5,000 a year, and increases from 10 per cent to 15 per cent the straight increase granted last December to hourly and part-time workers.
Supporters of the legislation said the five per cent boost on the latter would add $4,000,000 to the stimulated $563,730,000 increased cost contained in the temporary act of last year. The temporary increase expires April 30 and the present bill continues it beyond that date.

Concert Introduced Original Creations
Creative talents of artists in the School of Fine Arts combined to produce the finale, climaxing the University Symphony Concert, presented as a memorium to the late Charles Sanford Skilton, founder of the orchestra, in Hoch auditorium last night.
Prof. Karl Kuersteiner, orchestra director, created the musi-
Prof. Karl Kuersteiner, orchal background for the number with his "Primitive Rhapsody" heard for the first time at this performance. "Dancer in Wild Cherry," massive cherry wood statue carved by Prof. Bernard Frazier synthesized the theme into the realm of concrete art. Prof. John Hankins introduced the element of poetry by reading his interpretation of the theme in verse.
theme in the field or modern dance
Tschaikowsky's "Overture of
1812," combined piano, organ,
chimes, and a pistol shot in its fi-
nale.
Miss Jean Bliss interpreted the theme in the field of modern dance.
"Deer Dance," one of Professor Skilton's most famous compositions, was played with Betty King playing the cello cadenza.
In "The Call of Kansas," Miss Meribah Moore, associate professor of voice, sang the soprano solo. The poetry to the selection was written by the late Esther Clark Hill, a former resident of Kansas.
Professor Skilton's "War Dance," featured a group of students from the Haskell Indian Institute. Henry Shememyne, a member of the Caddo tribe, did most of the dancing. The women wore white doeskin costumes.
After intermission, the orchestra played "Russian Sailor's Dance," by Gliere, and Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun." The flute solo was played by John Marshall.
Millions Of Fish Die In Northern Illinois And Wisconsin Lakes
Chicago, (INS) — The death of millions of fish in northern Illinois and Wisconsin lakes baffled authorities Friday.
Their bodies, piled several feet deep, line the shores of scores of small lakes. Alarmed residents predicted that fishing in many of the lakes will be ruined.
The plague struck Illinois as far north as Marinette, Wis., and Menominee, Mich., scenes of the annual smelt runs.
Tony Maggio, assistant state director of conservation, said that extraordinary high water had caused thousands of fish to be trapped inland. He explained:
"The whole thing was caused by the unusually long and severe winter, thick ice and alternate rain and snow. The latter brought high water and caused the lakes to overflow. The fish swam into the lowlands and, when the water receded or evaporated, weren't able to get back in the lakes."
Mrs. Carroll Clark Will Speak at Home Ec Meeting
The Home Economics club will meet at 4:30 Wednesday in Fraser with Mrs. Carroll Clark as guest speaker, according to an announcement by Barbara Koch, secretary of the club.

Arthur Nelson, College senior, explained some of the theory of electrical conduction, and related phenomena, in dielectrics at the regular physics colloquium Monday afternoon.
Nelson explained that conduction was of two types: ionic, in which conduction takes place through ionic migration, and electronic, in which electrons are the sole conducting agent. He also described some methods used in determining the type of conduction taking place.

V-1 and V-12 Engineers To Be Stationed Here
The members of V-1 who are engineering students and the students who took the V-12 examination and stated that they would like to study engineering at the University will be sent to the engineering school here at the University when they are placed in uniform July 1, according to an authoritative University source today.
The announcement did not affect anyone other than the engineering students and in reality was the selection of the engineering school by the Navy as part of the Naval Training program.
The University medical school has been selected by the Navy but the pre-medical school has not. Naval reservists who are pre-medics will be sent to another pre-medical school unless the pre-medical school at the University is selected by the Navy.
The sophomore V-1 students will take the qualifying examination for V-Tand V-5 April 20.

Incentive Payments Asked For Farmers By Prentiss Brown
Washington, (INS) — Causing immediate cries of protest, federal price administrator Prentiss M. Brown today called on Congress to appropriate money for incentive payments to farmers. At the same time he warned that passage of the Pace bill providing for a general increase in farm parity ceilings would wreck anti-inflation controls on food prices and wages.
Brown, testifying before the senate agriculture committee said subsidies to farmers should be expanded instead of granting general increases in farm products.
Third Diesel Group Begins
The third group of 31 naval officers to form class of diesel engineers at the University of Wisconsin began training recently.
Women's political parties, so long shrouded by secrecy under the title of non-political combines, have been brought out in the open this year with the coming of the new All-Student Council. The parties are last year's combines which have been given the names of Progressive Women's Cooperative League and Women's Independent Greek Society.
Organized houses making up the WIGS are Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, Chi Omega, Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Delta Pi, and the three women's cooperative houses, Kaw Koetes, Harmon, and Jay Coeds. The PWCL includes Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Corbin, Watkins, and Miller halls.
By party caucuses both women's parties have produced party platforms and a slate of their candidates.
Hall Scholarships To Be Awarded High School Men
Applications for the men's residence hall scholarships at the University have been sent to graduates of Kansas high schools. One hundred and forty-six scholarships for both the summer and fall semesters are available in the four dormitories—Templin, Battenfeld, Carruth, and Jolliffe.
The privilege of living in these halls is granted as a scholarship to young men of excellent character, high intelligence, studious habits, and who possess those qualities which will guarantee agreeable associations with their fellow residents. While no direct financial aid is given in awarding the scholarships, each scholarship is considered worth not less than 100 dollars, that amount being the estimated difference in cost of living in one of these halls and living in other houses having equally desirable accommodations.

The fourth and last proficiency examination for this year will be given at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, April 10. Only juniors and seniors in the College may take the examination. Candidates must have registered in person at the College office April 5-7.
Senior standing will not be granted until students have passed the examination, Prof. John Virtue of the English department, said.
PWCL PLATFORM
The Progressive Women's Cooperative League has allied itself with the Progressive Student Government League in its aim to express the independent group on the campus. Overwhelmingly independent in support, we stand for cooperation between Independent and Greek to select qualified and responsible candidates. This year we are running five students representing the independents.
1. We, in cooperation with PSGL who conceived the new constitution, support this new constitution in its strong student government and urge the further growth of that government Our candidates pledge themselves to be well informed in regard to University Administrative committees on which they may sit. They pledge themselves to act in the best interests of the University as a whole.
2. We believe that Negro students, as members of the Student Governing Association and Memorial Union should have equal rights and privileges in all campus activities and organizations. We pledge ourselves to work for this equality. To prove that we mean what we say we are running a negro woman on our slate and will elect her!
3. We pledge ourselves to work for the establishment of a campus chest to which all students will make a subscription during one campus drive. All campus charities will then make their appeal for funds to the Campus Chest Committee. We believe this procedure will accomplish two things: 1) increase the total amount of money available for charity drives; and 2) allocate the funds more fairly among these appeals.
4. We pledge ourselves to work for the organization of a campus USO in cooperation with CVC, YWCA, and Jay James. Service men stationed on

Allied Troops Push Rommel Toward Sfax
Vast military operations which are intended to drive the Axis from its last foothold on the African continent moved into full stride today.
British and American troops joining forces east of El Guettar proceeded in the task of driving Marshall Rommel's army toward Sfax. At the same time, the British first army under the command of Lt. Kenneth Anderson opened a full scale offensive against the Germans at Med-jez-el-bab in the northern part of Tunisia.
Eighth Army Surprises Rommel
Uninterrupted progress was recorded in all battle sectors. Rommel's armies, taken by surprise when the British eighth army swarmed across the Wadi El Akarit whereas they had expected the main thrust to come from El Guettar, fell steadily backward.
Despite the present successes, there were renewed warnings from London that the Tunisian war has not yet been won. Junction of British and American forces, official spokesman pointed out, eliminates the weak spot in the Allied position but does not necessarily hasten complete defeat of Rommel's army.
American Gut 27 Ion Planeus
Americans Get 37 Jap Planes
Closely following Secretary of War Stimson's disclosures that more fighting planes are enroute to the southwest Pacific the navy announced that American combat pilots over Guadalcanal shot down 37 Japanese aircraft in one of the greatest sky battles of the Solomons campaign.
The dramatic navy news of a battle between 98 Japanese bombers and zero fighters and an undisclosed number of American planes came, shortly after Stimson warned that the Japanese had increased their air strength in China, Burma and the southwest Pacific.
"However," Stimson added, "we have also increased our strength and further increases are in immediate prospect."
Few changes were reported on the Russian front where the Germans abandoned, temporarily at least, their attempts to break through Soviet positions south of Izyum on the middle Donets.
Pan American League Will Meet
Plans for the remainder of the semester's activities and replacement of members who have withdrawn for the armed service will be discussed at the meeting of the Pan American League at 8 o'clock tonight in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, according to Antonio Lulli, president of the league.

★ Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
Last Thursday we students gave substantial, concrete support to our campus leaders when we accepted a new constitution, 15-1. This new constitution was framed and supported by our student leaders who are to be commended for their diligent work and insight into our governmental problems. Today, as a result, we are united, as never before, in a new movement to obtain for all students those things set forth in the purpose of the new constitution.
One sentence from that constitution reads: "No regularly enrolled student shall in a discriminatory manner, be denied the privileges of membership . . ."
There are at present some conditions existing on the University campus which are not in accord with this statement.
1. Negr students are barred from school dances.
2. Negro women students who are taking the Home Economics course are prohibited from living as the other girls, in the practice house which is a vital part of the training.
3. Negro student teams have been refused equal participation in intramural sports.
In the light of the statement in our new constitution and in the light of the historical spirit of Kansas, these conditions must no longer be tolerated.
The obvious place to start now is at the Junior Prom. I urge the council to insure the right of any student to attend the Prom and to take such action as will be necessary to prevent the exclusion of any student. Additional action on the other problems must follow.
Student leadership has already risen magnificently this year to the task of reorganizing our government. Let us hope that this leadership will not now sell out on us by ignoring or by passively condemning these conditions; but that rather it will rise yet again to work toward the solution of these mighty problems.
Sincerely, PAUL W. GILLES
To the Editor:
The disappointing response of students to the call for blood donation may have other reasons than those suggested by your reporters.
We know there are some students at least, who feel that by giving their blood to the Red Cross they are endorsing its policy of race discrimination.
The Red Cross still insists that so called "Negro blood" be separated from "White blood," and thus creates the impression that the blood of Negro Americans is inferior or different from the blood of white Americans.
We protest strongly against this policy of the Red Cross, which not only defeats its purpose of obtaining the greatest possible amount of blood donations, but which also contributes to racial discrimination by imitating the Nazi theory of the Aryan superman.

Museum Has Red Cross Exhibition
A Red Cross exhibit, one of three made for the purpose of securing a visual record of its activities, is now on display in the Spooner-Thayer museum, and will remain there during April. The exhibits were chosen by the Red Cross to travel through the country, each on a different circuit.
The exhibit depicts work of Red Cross members in all parts of the world. One is a scene of trucks traveling across the Burma Road, another is of a Red Cross ship being loaded for a journey overseas. Others depict incidents in the life of Red Cross nurses, human beings starving in the conquered countries. Two pictures in the exhibit are portraits, one of the founder of the Red Cross, Henri Durant, and one of the woman who founded the Red Cross in America, Clara Barton. These were done by Emily Waite of Worcester, Mass.
The paintings, drawings, and prints not purchesed by the Red Cross will be available for sale to the public. Ones that were purchased are marked by a gold star.
Miss Moodie, who is in charge of the exhibition here, expressed hope that many students would inspect it.
KSC Resolved Against Deans' Dormitory Vote
The Kansas State College student council and the faculty advisory committee last week expressed their disapproval of the action of the council of deams in retaining VanZilo hall for the use of women students instead of making it available for army engineering students. Both groups adopted resolutions condemning the deans' action.
The council of deans decided by a vote of 6 to 5 that the dormitory should be retained as a dormitory for women students and as a laboratory for dieters. The army had indicated a desire to use the hall to house the 750 men it plans to send to Kansas State on a specialized training program.
The vote of the faculty advisory council including representatives of 51 college departments was more than two to one for the resolution condemning the deans' action.
The student council vote was six to one for the resolution introduced by Mary Margaret Arnold, former editor of the student newspaper and daughter of Mayor J. David Arnold of Manhattan.

Tacky Party and Prom HighlightWeekendActivity
Students may look ahead to a full weekend with the vice-versa tacky party tomorrow night and the Junior prom Saturday. Perhaps the most unusual announcement of the vice-versa party came yesterday morning between classes when Shirley Henry and Mary Lou Laffer rode down Oread sitting backward on their horses.
Those attending the vice-ver of the Bachmann-Pope Band. They must bring a tin can with them, since the Student Union activities are planning to collect a number of cans for the tin drive.
Those attending the vice-versa dance will dance to the music
The presence of a well-known band such as Jack Teagarden will draw many to the Junior prom. One of the few formal parties left for this year, it is a climax of the spring season.
By tomorrow it is hoped that the ground will dry out from the April showers last night and early this morning. Many picnics have been planned, the largest perhaps being the overnight trip by equitation classes.

Club Formed To Get Men By Washington Girls
Washington, (INS)—Men wanted. All kinds. Apply in person to the eight girls for every man club.

Laceless blouses and lightweight clothing without frills prevailed in the exhibit. The trend also was toward lighter blues and tans, to replace the browns and navy blues in summer dresses.
Another innovation—the salesmen no longer takes the customer out to dinner; the reverse is true because the dealer now finds it difficult to fill his stocks and is eager to discover a salesman who has anything at all to sell, according to exhibitors.

Pretty Peggy Keshlear, president of the club, explained that by doing that the girls and the service men in the capital will have a chance to become better acquainted.
"Servicemen then will not have to gang up in Washington over the weekends, wondering what they are going to do for amusement," said Miss Keshlear.
"We came to Washington," she said, "not only because we wished to work for our country during the war, but because we had all been told that our nation's capital was filled with glamour and romance.
"What do we find? No men. And where will you find glamour and romance without men?"
The girls are limiting their choice to service men. Short men, tall men, hair-tonic ads and bald-headed guys, physical training instructors and 4-F's—they'll all do, according to Peggy.
"We're sick and tired of playing solitaire every night," she said. "We want men."

Vander Werf Pitches Masterful Game
Calvin VanderWerf, masterful pitcher, and his "Chem Kids" trounced Delta Upsilon for the highest score of the season, 29 to 2. Tuesday afternoon, in a game that was scheduled for play last Friday. The DU's runs were confined to the first inning when both were scored on a home run with one man on. The Alpha Chi Sigma's scored seven runs in the first inning ten in the second, four in the third, and eight in the fifth.
In another high-scoring contest game Beta Theta Pi "B" defeated Jolliffe hall, 23 to 12, in a game that was shortened to five innings by the "11-run" rule.

Sporting News Honors Black
Charley Black was elected to another All-America basketball team yesterday.
The angular forward, pride of last season's Jayhawk squad, received one of the greatest honors an American basketball player can receive when he was named on the Sporting News 1942-43 team the running mate at forward of the great Andy Phillip of Illinois, shatterer of Big Ten scoring records and the Sporting News' player of the year.
The team picked by the leading sports publication in the nation emphasized scoring and height. Harry Boykoff of St. John's was given the center berth. Boykoff paced St. John's to the championship of the National Invitational Tournament in Madison Square Garden a few weeks ago.
Guards were George Senesky of St. Joseph's who gave the Jayhawks no end of trouble on their blazing Eastern trip last winter. Ken Sailors, Wyoming's sparkling playmaker, was the other guard. The Wyoming team won the NCAA and went on to defeat St. John's, winner of the National Invitational. Otto Graham, Northwestern, was a spare member of the team. The second and third team choices follow:
Second team—Davage Minor, Toledo, and John Hargis, Texas, forwards; Tom Close, Rice, center; Bob Rensberger, Notre Dame, and Bob Mullens, Fordham, guards; and Don Durdan, Oregon, spare.
Third team—Gene Rock, Southern California, and Gail Bishop, Washington State forwards; Ed Beisser, Creighton, center; Joe Walthall, West Virginia, and Stan Skaug, Dartmouth, guards; and Bob Faught, Notre Dame, spare.
The intramural golf singles championship was decided yesterday afternoon when Paul Turner, Sigma Phi Epsilon, defeated Jack Hines, Delta Upsilon, in two out of three rounds.
Paul Turner Wins Golf Championship
All other second round singles matches, including horseshoes, tennis, and handball, must be played by tomorrow night, Henry Shenk, director of intramurals, said today.
game that featured two home runs, one by Paul Turner and the other by Kappleman. Rock Chalk led by pitcher Tom Manion, scored all their runs in the fourth inning.
Athletic Board Asked Shenk To Take Position
In order to assure that the University of Kansas will be in position to participate in whatever football program may be possible under conditions as they will exist next fall, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced that Henry Shenk, of the department of physical education, has been asked by the Athletic Board to serve as football coach for next year.
Shenk is a graduate of the University with the class of 1928, in physical education. He lettered in football in 1926 and 1927, and achieved football immortality on Mt. Oread in the Missouri game of 1927. Following graduation, he served as coach of all sports at Paola high school for two years. He then went to Junction City where he coached all sports for eleven years until he was called back to the University in the fall of 1940.

NO SPRING FOOTBALL GAME
Plans for the prospective spring football game between the practice squads of Nebraska and Missouri have been abandoned because of the inability to find a date agreeable to both teams. Although it may have been a good idea to play such a game as the last game for many of the gridsters who are going into the Service at the end of this semester, we doubt if much interest and enthusiasm could have been excited among members of the student bodies of the two schools.

Unlike the Big Six which scrapped its baseball program for the duration, the Big Ten is going on schedule and will play out its season in so far as transportation facilities will permit. The Big Ten schools seem to have had not too much difficulty in scraping up enough good material to produce several promising teams, among which are Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa.

The Minnesota baseball coach, Dave MacMillan, has over 40 men out for the sport, an amazingly large number especially when you consider the small number of Kansas players who are practicing regularly in hopes of scheduling a few games with worthy opponents within forty miles of Lawrence.

Trumpet to Trombone
Teagarden Tops
University students would not be looking forward to dancing to the music of one of the nation's foremost trombonists Saturday had not the Vernon, Texas, town band needed a trombonist rather than a trumpeter back in 1912.
Only a small boy at that time, Jack Teagarden was the son of musically-talented parents who were the guiding lights of the local band. In the absence $ ^{*} $
of an adequate number of trombonists, Jack was induced to transfer his efforts from trumpet to trombone, thus launching him upon the career that was to place him, among the top-ranking entertainers of the country.
From Church To Roadhouse
Moving up the ladder of success from church accompaniment to movie-house playing and on to four-piece roadhouse orchestras, Jack, at 18, was ready to take a place in Red Nicols' orchestra along with such musical notables as Benny Goodman, Pee Wee Russell, and Gene Krupa. He soon discovered in himself a talent for blues singing. Following this with five years with Ben Pollack's famed crew, he next assumed the position of star vocalist and trombonist with Paul Whiteman's orchestra; and it was not until 1939 that he left the "Dean of Modern American Music" to organize his own band.
Has Played From Coast To Coast
Assured of success from the beginning by the careful picking of outstanding instrumentalists, the Teagarden aggregation has risen rapidly in popularity, playing many of the best-known locations, including the Blackhawk restaurant in Chicago; Meadowbrook, Cedar Grove, N. J.; Roosevelt Hotel, Jacksonville, Fla.; Plantation club, Dallas; and Casa Manana, Bulver City, Cal., as well as in many colleges and universities from coast to coast.
Recordings, major network broadcasts, and movie short subjects have added to the succession of entertainment engagements of the Teagarden band, reaching a climax with its appearance in Paramount's "Birth of the Blues," in which stellar honors were shared with Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, and Rochester.

Violating State Statute Is Dangerous To Local Community Health and Safety
A problem that has become increasingly prevalent in this city with the advent of more and more workers has been that of spitting on the sidewalks, especially those in the downtown business district.
Spitting in public places, or on the sidewalks adjoining, is a violation of the Kansas statutes and is a menace to the health of the community. The Kansas law provides a fine upon conviction of this act, or, in event of failure to pay, a jail sentence; either is a high price to pay for committing an act that common sense itself should eliminate.
Tracing such a path of nasty infection is not a product of the imagination; rather, it would seem to be a common way by which disease germs enter the home. Surely, the people have enough respect for the health of their own children and themselves to respect the rights of others in this matter.
Spitting has long been recognized as an agent of transporting disease germs. Shoppers forced to walk on these same sidewalks carry these germs into their homes. Rugs make an excellent harboring place for the germs, and children playing on these rugs make an excellent target for their attack.
Aside from the standpoint of sanitation, there can be no denying that clean sidewalks present a much neater appearance than those that have been the target of careless walkers. Clean sidewalks are certainly much safer.
The difficulty of enforcing the Kansas law against this practice is obvious, but a little cooperation on the part of downtown shoppers would eliminate any necessity for enforcement. The next time you're downtown, think before you commit an act that is both revolting and dangerous to the others in the community.
-M.B.

Geological Survey Performs Duties For War Construction
Now that so many camps for the armed forces and defense factories are situated in Kansas, the vast amount of work which goes into choosing the sites for such buildings is likely to be overlooked. The Kansas State Geological Survey plays a great part in choosing suitable sites for this necessary war construction.
The State Survey, with its offices and experimental laboratories at the University, reaches out to test water supplies, rock formations, and mineral deposits all over the state. It cooperates with the government in selecting and testing sites for war projects.
Before an army camp or a defense factory is built, the constructors must be sure of adequate water supply. The Survey investigates surface and underground water routes, and

--suggests the way to obtain the available water. The rock formation under a building also is important, and the Survey submits to the constructors its findings of the subsurface rock.
Many valuable minerals, especially metals, are present in Kansas deposits. The Survey tests these for quantity, quality, and location. Valuable aluminum is found in Kansas clays, and the Survey has perfected a way of extracting this metal. To use this process, coal, salt, limestone, and soda-ash are necessary. All are found in Kansas. For a year, the Survey has been experimenting on Kansas clays as a source of aluminum and believes it is possible to use its process for greater war production.
The Survey is valuable not only in wartime. It has always helped engineers, oil companies, and various other concerns with their experimentation and investigation. The Survey silently serves the state in an essential manner; too few people realize that, simply because it is an unobtrusive helping arm.-A.L.R.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
Sob story: "Potty" Jenson mixed it—the tearsag—in a spare moment during his lab. At home in the Phi Delt house he dumped it—active form—in a waste basket, the property of Steve Phelps and Dean Huebert. Dean first suspected something was wrong when he found himself weeping copiously over an explanation of muscle tissues. Turning around, he found Phelps, handkerchief at eyes, apparently suffering from some deep emotion also.
The teargas was soon discovered and translanted to Jenson's menage. "Potty" came home. He entered; the Jenson pillow there-upon became damp with bitter tears.

Proving the purity of Sigma Chi: The Phi Psi's, not the studious ones, judged (by special request of the chapter publicity chairman) Sigma Chi's, were responsible for the jalopy which the Theta's found on their doorstep Tuesday morning.
The Phi Psi's took the machine from the Pi Phi house. When the Pi Phi's became aware of this, Rita LeMoin was appointed to call Bob Barton demanding the car, the "Offbeat," back. At a hurried meeting Wednesday noon Pi Phi's won over the Theta's in a close vote. That night the Psi's went after the car. The Theta's served cake and cokes while the Psi's were putting it into condition to move and the Sigma Chi's looked on and began to wish they weren't such lambs.
That night the car arrived at the Pi Phi house; however it was in many parts and the Psi's saw to it that most of those parts were on the roof.
The next morning the "Offbeat" was stacked neatly on the Phi Psi front porch. Fenders against the door forced the boys to leave for school the back way.
Watch this column for the next thrilling installment of this dramatic and triangular feud.

Exhibit A: After the Sigma Nu steak fry adjourned last weekend, Maurice Beardmore loaded date Jean Porter, Chi O; Dean Ostrum, Sarepta Pierpont, Gamma Phi; George Pope and Barbara Jean Reed, Delta Gamma, into his car and took out for Lawrence. The ride was an exceptionally jovial one. Not a serious thought was harbored until the car pulled into an urban district and, instead of Massachusetts midway, Beardmore and company came face to face with the capital dome—of Topeka.
This incident is just one more bit of evidence which University authorities will some day use to prove what we already know about steak fries.

The mouse splashed about nervously, employing a cross between the breast and back strokes while plans for his execution were drawn up.
Be kind to your four-footed friends: Jean and Jane Miller, Corbin twins, had a mouse in their room. After a brief period of mutual fright, the mouse jumped into the pocket of a shoe bag, and the girls tossed the bag into somebody's freshly run water.
The axe was in sharpened readiness when Caterina Fruin arrived saying that in her native country, Holland, mice are pets just as much as cats are here, and asking not to kill this one.
Although approval was not unanimous, Catherina fished the mouse from the tub and gently carried him outdoors.
Putting Out Your Pin? Take It Easy
By PEGGY McCONNELL
He loosened the tiny clasp with trembling fingers, held the jeweled object tenderly in his hand, and looked at the girl by his side. Doubtful and dubious for a moment, he was suddenly determined; and he whispered to her, "Will you wear it, darling?" and pressed his pin into her hand.
Romantic, isn't it?
She will go back to the house with his secret and tell it to no one—except her roommate and all her best friends! She is going to put out his pin.
But just a minute, fellow— feel your pocketbook. Do you realize what is in store for you? Candy Is A Must
All the arrangements must be made—by you. You must buy the candy, which, according to tradition, precedes the actual pinning at dinner. It must be the best, of course, so you shell out $7.50. That is only the beginning.

Seniors Interviewed By WAAC Lieutenant
Interviews were given today to senior women interested in the WAAC by Lt. Dorothy McCandlish of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. Stressing the fact that the opportunity for women to serve has never been greater, Lt. Dorothy McCandlish of the WAAC told senior women of basic training, army life,
"Never before have women had such an opportunity to serve their country. When the call came, men of the University of Kansas answered by the hundreds, and now the women of the University of Kansas are being called upon to serve with the armed forces. The need for trained women in very great.
tasks of a WAAC, and how to make application for enlistment into this branch of the service, yesterday.
"It is a woman's duty to serve her country. It is a privilege to devote her efforts toward victory, but more than that it is a great honor to be a member of the Woman's Army Xuxiliary Corps, because it means a woman is devoted to her country, is mentally and physically fit, and of high moral character," Lt. McCandlish said.
Lt. McCandlish is from the headquarters of the Kansas Recruiting district in Kansas City, Kansas. She was attended by Auxiliary Lela Hobbs, who drives her car, assists in giving tests, and interviewing.
After today information concerning the WAAC may be obtained from Miss Florence Black,209 Frank Strong hall.

Trip To The City
After all the kissing and singing at the sorority house, you are finally pinned. But you're not let off as easy as that. There is the celebration trip to the city, for which you rake up all the gas ration coupons you can find, borrow a car, or if you're lucky, fill up your own car.
Reservations, food—good steaks, and the inevitable champagne, at $8 a quart, make $20, a minimum amount. Twenty dollars added to the $23.50 totals $43.50, according to simple arithmetic, but not to your bank account. Keep in mind, too, that if you take another couple with you, you must add just that much more to the expense.

Washington, (INS)—Sec. of War Stimson declared today that his order banning army officers from hold-ing politics\ office was not directed at any individual.
Stimson made this statement at his press conference in response to charges made in congress that his order of February 25 prohibiting army officers from becoming political candidates while on active duty was aimed at Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Allied Commander in the southwest Pacific.
Stimson also said today that Mayor LaGuardia of New York will not join the armed forces at the present time.

Navy, Students Combine Talent On 'Happy Hour'
Kuersteiner Created . . .
"Happy Hour," the sailors' recreation program, that holds forth once a week in Hoch auditorium or Frank Strong auditorium is one of the University's or Lawrence's contribution to the sailors' recreation time.
Man behind the programs is violin and orchestra in the School steiner arranges the programs, rounds up the talent, and acts as general handy man for the Navy and performers during the programs.
Ed Ulley, before he left for the army, gave the sailors enjoyable moments with his piano antics. And there's Billy Sears with his electric batons definitely a fixture on the program.
Man behind the programs is Karl Kuersteiner, professor of violin and orchestra in the School of Fine Arts. Professor Kuersteiner the programs.$ ^{ \textcircled{4}}$
A few weeks ago Professor Kuersteiner, after a confab with Naval officials, took over the task of giving the sailors entertainment, using University talent and whenever possible working into the programs Navy talent.
The programs feature the band, orchestra, baton twirling, singing, and acting if anyone volunteers his services.
Betty Cohagan is another of the navy's favorites and her treatment Friday night of some popular songs was a big hit.
The sailors really go for Dorothy Mae Nelson and her treatment of popular songs. Dorothy Mae has had many return engagements on the Happy Hour programs and as one sailor put it, "She reminds me of Lucy."
Sears Twirls for Sailors
Russell L. Wiley and his band are highlights of the evening as far as the sailors are concerned too. The Pringle twins and their vocal numbers are hits also.
The sailors have turned up with some excellent talent. Harry Ianco brought the audience to a hushed silence Friday night with his baritone interpretation of "When the Lights Go On Again All Over the World" and then finished amid roaring approvals.
John Ryan used his Irish brogue to sing "Johnny Dobboy."
And there are many others who have added their bit to the programs: so the whole thing can be summed up in the sailors' lingo- Happy Hour. A helluva good deal!

Band To Present Concert Monday
The University Concert Band will present its annual spring concert at 8 o'clock Monday night in Hoch auditorium, Russell Wiley, director, has announced.
Featured on the program will be songs from the show "Porgy and Bess," in which solos will be taken by June Hammett and David Lawson; Victor Herbert's "Suite of Serenades;" "Over There," and "Wake Up America," sung by Allen Crafton, professor of speech; "Roses of Picardy," with solos by Daniel Bachmann and David Lawson; and "When Day Is Done," featuring the Delta Gamma trio.
PAUL B. SEARS----
Sears Has Written Four Books
(continued from page one) research experience to present-day problems, especially those pertain ing to peace.
Doctor Sears has written more than fifty technical and popular articles on botany, ecology, and conservation. He has also written four books, "Deserts on the March," "This is our World," "Life and Environment," and "Who are These Americans?"
Doctor Sears is a member of the honorary fraternities Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, and Phi Sigma (biological). He received the Izaak Walton League award of merit for "Merritorious service in the cause of conservation" during the past year. In 1927, he received the Book-of-the Month Fellowship prize of $2500.
The Kansas Academy of Science was founded in 1868, and is the oldest state scientific institution in the United States. It now has a membership of more than two hundred persons, of which 44 are life members and seven honorary. It is the fifth largest academy of its kind today, and is one of the most active. Membership is composed of persons from all of the state educational institutions, and also of interested laymen.
The aim of the Academy is to "foster original research and investigation." The Academy is also interested in the conservation of natural resources, and the development of economic resources in Kansas. The Kansas State Geological Survey is an outgrowth of this latter activity.
The Kansas Academy promotes the Junior Academy of Science, which is organized to create and foster the scientific interests of high school students. The Junior Academy, which usually meets with the State Academy, will not hold a meeting this year. Due to transportation difficulties, the member schools held individual contest meetings.
HALL SCHOLARSHIPS---
(continued from page one)
eration, these halls, which are unique in American education in that high scholarship is a requisite for admission to their cooperative living privileges, established what is believed to be an all time record low in the cost of living in American colleges and universities. The total cost for the year 1940-41 for each man for food, utilities, salaries, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and room rent was $13.90 a month.
PETER H.
Russell L. Wiley
The work in all the halls is done entirely by the residence scholars. The men make all their own beds, sweep the rooms, dust, wax, and polish the floors and the furniture, cook and serve the food, and wash the dishes.
Prior to the opening of the halls in the fall of 1940, the only cooking school for men ever to be staged in Kansas was conducted for the two dozen men whose duties it would be to prepare the food for the residents of the halls.

(continued from page one) the campus will need a place for recreation in leisure hours. We propose to give them such a place in the form of an All-University USO. 5. We believe in a lowered activity fee in view of the probable decrease in athletic events and extra-arricular activities next year.
6. We believe that an agency should be established on campus where student checks may be cashed; we will work for the establishment of such an agency.
7. In order that the All Student Council may be sensitive to adjustments which changing conditions demand, we ask for closer contact between the student body as a whole and its governing body. We ask that any student who sees a need for an alteration in University policy which affects students may have the opportunity to present his views and the assurance that these views will be carefully considered.

Banana Tree Is Producing
Greenhouse Will Be Open For Spectators Sunday
The open house will be a gardener at the University and custodian of the greenhouses. While all the houses will be open, that of special interest, Mr.Reiter believes,will be the tropical collection. Members of the Kansas Academy of Science, here for their Seventy-fifth anniversary meeting Saturday,will be given an opportunity to tour the greenhouses Saturday,but the open house for the public will be Sunday.
Open house at the University greenhouses from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday will give students an opportunity to see hundreds of tropical plants which will be on display. A tropical atmosphere will be furthered by parakeets, love-birds, zebra finches, and multi-colored canaries.
open house will be in charge of J. W.Reiter, landscape
Of especial interest in the tropical gardens will be the 25 foot banana tree which is actually producing bananas this year. The plant was set in the greenhouses 14 months ago in a tub, and later transplanted in the earth. It soon reached the top of the greenhouse and the leaves have been forced to grow back down. Some of the bloom is still visible and a large hand of green bananas is the center of attraction.
Other interesting plants in the
collection are oleanders, hibiscus, orchids (not in bloom as they are only three years old and it takes seven years to develop blooming plants); orange trees, the white passion flower vine, and the Papaya, tropical fruit from Hawaii, plants of which were brought from Hawaii by Chancellor Deane W. Malott. Another interesting Hawaiian plant is the green ti, leaves of which are especially important in the native recipes for broiling fish.
Reiter points out that hundreds of plants from all parts of the world are in the tropical greenhouse, which is situated back of Fowler shops.

Prom Highlights Tomorrow Night
Marking the climax of Hill social activities for the year, the Junior Prom scheduled for 8 p.m. tomorrow in Hoch auditorium, featuring the music of Jack Teagarden's orchestra, will swing into gala action as the last big all-University party for the duration.
Ticket sales are nearing the 150 mark, according to Vincent B. Harris in the Business Office, as students of the University
prepare for a last fling before man-power and ration problems place a rein on social activities and availability of orchestras.
Teagarden, "king of the blues frombone," offers a danceable musical combination of both hot and blue treatment which is largely responsible fro the orchestra's national popularity.
A veteran entertainer with experience as featured vocalist and trombonist with Red Nichols, Ben Pollack and Paul Whiteman, Teagarden has gained esteem in the musical world through recordings, movie engagements and personal appearances, and now remains one of the few top-ranking band leaders outside the ranks of the armed forces.
Arranged and managed by members of the Junior class, the Prom will be semi-formal according to Miss Elizabeth Megular, adviser of women.
Band To Play Patriotic Music
Dispelling all beliefs that last fall's program was the final one for the duration, the 80-piece University Concert Band, directed by Russell Wiley, will present their spring concert at 8 o'clock Monday night in Hoch auditorium.
Themes from the opera "Porgy and Bess" will be played. Among the songs taken from the show will be "Summertime," "It Ain't Necessarily So," and "I Got Plenty O Dawtn'." June Hammet will play the part of Bess and David Dawson that of Porgy.
A patriotic theme will be lent to the program when Allen Crafton, professor of speech, dons his World War I Army uniform to sing "Over There" and "Wake Up America." "Roses of Picardy," featuring David Lawson, vocalist, and Daniel Bachmann, trombone soloist, will be included in the patriotic numbers. In addition, the band will play songs of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Corps, and Coast Guard.
"Gubana," (Bennet) the only violin rhapsody written with band accompaniment will be featured in the concert. James Lerch, a freshman in the School of Fine Arts, will play the violin solo. Mr. Bennet wrote the number for his daughter, who plays the violin, and Mr. Wiley heard the two introduce the composition at the American Band Masters' Convention last year in Madison, Wis.

"The Men's Student Council and tion, in conformance with the new constitution of the Associated Students of the University of Kansas, hereby guarantee the right of any member of this Association, regardless of race, color, or creed to attend all University dances."
The petition circulating over the campus today read "We, the undersigned, resolve that all students, regardless of race, color, or creed, be included in all university activities, and that this policy take effect immediately in connection with the Junior Prom."

Axis Troops Fall to Eighth British Army
(International News Service)
Official disclosure that almost 10,000 Axis troops, the best part of a full division, already are in the hands of the British Eighth army today emphasized the magnitude of the disaster that is gradually overtaking Nazi Field Marshal Rommel.
While the R.A.F. took to the air again to strike another blow with 400 bombers on the industrial Ruhr valley of Germany, a communique from General Dwight E. Eisenhower's headquarters in North Africa reported uninterrupted Allied progress on all Tunisian battle fronts.
As this now famous battle corps pounded steadily ahead, new progress was reported by the First army in the North now only 25 miles from Tunis.
General Sir Bernard Montgomery's triumphant Eighth army is believed nearing the Tunisian coastal town of Mahares, only 20 miles south of the port of Sfax.
On the Russian front, German efforts to crack the Donets river line southeast of Kharkov were frustrated, with hundreds of enemy dead left on the battle field.
Most of the news from the Pacific theatre dealt with observance of the first anniversary of the fall of Bataan. The keynote was sounded by General Douglas MacArthur for a prayer for redemption of the Philippines and the prisoners of war, and a fervent supplication that this time "it be not again too late."
(continued from page one) the country converged on Washington for a meeting Wednesday.
FIRST 3-A
According to draft officials, there are about 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 married men now in 3-A. Many will be rejected because of physical defects but 14 out of every 16 of the others who can pass physical examination will be called to the colors, it was estimated.
Draft officials were working on regulations governing the order of induction of fathers. The regulations will be announced within two weeks. First calls for fathers will be issued around July 1, and, after that date, at least 400,000 fathers a month will be drafted.
Aides of Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national draft director, warned against speculation over the new regulations. They are subject to final review by both General Hershey and War Manpower Commission speaker Paul V. McNutt. Speculation now, they said, would lead only to more confusion over the country's critical manpower problem.

Chancellor Malott said he urged all freshmen engineers to attend the five weeks' short course, if they have mathematical deficiencies to make up. The course is also useful, he pointed out, in providing the opportunity for an extra five hours of credit which may enable some students to attain sophomore standing by the time they are 18 years of age, and hence be eligible for deferment from Selective Service to complete their engineering training.
Advance reservations indicate a large freshmen enrollment for the summer semester which opens May 24, according to reports from the office of Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar.

Washington, (INS)—Faced with estimates that more than 54,000 government workers have obtained draft deferments, the War Manpower Commission yesterday planned to issue new regulations that will send many of the 1,000,000 men between the ages of 18 and 38 now on the federal payroll into the army.
He Pins a Murder on the Wrong Man, but Brings the Culprit to Final Justice.
COMING SUNDAY
Within the next few days, it was learned, Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national Selective Service director, will issue at the request of the WMC instructions to all local draft boards to deny deferments to federal workers unless they are given so-called "certificates of government request."

The action was recommended on March 10 by a committee appointed by President Roosevelt to investigate reports that the government was a "haven for draft dodgers."

The committee, headed by Paul Bellamy, Cleveland editor, found that "slackers are few" in the government but charged that federal bureaus were not using "the vigor necessary" to replace draft eligible men with women and older and handicapped workers.

The Bellamy report also recommended creation of a committee to streamline and coordinate draft machinery governing deferments of federal employees. The latter committee, composed of Robert Barnett of the WMC, Kenneth Vipond of Civil Service and Col. Edward A. Fitzpatrick of National Draft Headquarters, is using the Bellamy report as its guidebook.
Avenge Bataan Sec. Hull Tells Allied Armies
Washington, (INS)—Secretary of State Cordell Hull today called upon the army of the United States and other allies to redouble their efforts to avenge the fall of Bataan.
Commenting on the first anniversary of the heroic stand of the American forces at Bataan, Hull said the anniversary ought to inspire every soldier in the armies of the United Nations, especially Americans, to re-double their efforts in waging this war until every phase of that battle has been avenged.

Junior Prom Weekend Occupies Spotlight
The Vice Versa dance took advantage of unusual advertising, but the Junior prom has caught up. Today a song and dance routine urged attendance at the prom. Incidentally, the prom is semi-formal, but coeds wearing short dresses will attend.
Such changeable weather! But parties go on and picnics take place even if the ground is slightly damp. Incidentally
good substitutes for steak on steak frys, according to some who have tried, are canned baked beans heated on the fire and hamburgers bought and reheated. But most everyone agrees that the best thing to do is have lots of potato chips, olives, deviled eggs, cokes, etc. and forget about meat.

Ise Discusses Peace For Post War World
Professor John Ise spoke Wednesday night at the Student A.I. Ch.E. meeting, held in the Kansas room. He spoke on "A Post War Peace" and stressed four points that he thought would be necessary to have a lasting peace. These were: 1) to punish those responsible for starting this war and see that they do not have the opportunity to start another war, 2) to promote world trade, 3) to abolish the colony system, and 4) to have closer and more friendly relations with Russia.
Andy remained for the annual A.I.C.H.E. picnic which is to be held on May 3.

Wartime Circus Heralds Spring
By WALTER KIERNAN
New York, (INS)—If there is anything that will take the frost out of the ground today and cause every little crocus to raise its head it's the knowledge that the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey circus opens tomorrow.
Can spring be far behind . . . and it certainly is . . . when the circus opens at Madison Square Garden? Yes, but stop beefing about it.
sibility to get acts on and off the stage or in and out of the stadium it that way.
Anyway the circus opens tomorrow and if it isn't "the greatest show on earth," which is how it is modestly billed, it will do until somebody gets Hitler and Mussolini in the cage with Gargantua. That would be something.
The streamlining which marked the circus last year has all gone into this discard. Once again the wagons are red—good substantial circus red—and the whole decor is the decor of the old "Hey, rube" circus.
What is even more interesting to the rehearsal spectator than the big names on the bill are the little noes nobody ever hears of in connection with the show. Take "Nix" who is Mrs. Leuretta Jefferson on the payroll.
Slumped in a box, coat collar up around his neck, hat pulled down. John Murray Anderson barks into a microphone "Nix . . . where's Nix? Nix . . . tell that man to keep those horses back. Nix get up there and show Powers how to walk onto the stage. Nix . . . find Pat Baldo and ask him how soon we can start the parade."
A slim girl wearing slacks, a mannish coat, a white turban springs into action and things get moving. Officially she's the choreographer which is a fancy way of saying she teaches ballet but actually she is one of the mainsprings of the show. Baldo is another. It's his respon-
And there is Anderson ruling supreme. “Powers”, a pretty blonde performer is on his black list today and the whole company, mechanics, electricians, drivers, hears about it. They couldn't very well help it with Anderson's voice wearily complaining over the loud speaker . . . "No . . . no . . . no Powers . . . don't walk that way. Nix . . . show Powers how to walk. Nix . . . show Jocko how to take his hat off to a woman. Jocko . . . haven't you ever taken your hat off to a woman before?"
So that's rehearsal and the circus will open tomorrow and Powers will come out smiling beautifully and step mincingly onto the stage and Jocko will sweep his hat off and bow low and you won't even know "Nix" is in the house.

Blanks Take Early Lead Phi Delt's, 2nd; Sig Alph's, Delt's, 3rd Shenk Says Men May Hav.
By MATT HEUERTZ, Sports Editor
The Blanks continued where they left off last year in the intramural track and field meet yesterday afternoon. They gathered 86 points last year to finish in first place, 22 points more than those of their nearest rival, Phi Delta Theta.
Last night after points made in the first day of the two-day
meet had been tabulated, it was found that the Blanks were leading the field with $ 33\frac{1}{4} $ points. They had gathered 22 points in running events and $ 13\frac{1}{4} $ in field events.
Phi Delt's Are Second
In second place with $14\frac{1}{2}$ points was Phi Delta Theta, only a half point ahead of Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. If the Delta Tau's had even qualified one man in a field event they would be in second place by a half point.
The first completed event was a close medley relay which Delta Tau took in the fast time of 3 min. 39.4 sec. Sigma Chi finished a close second, only 5 of a second behind the winners. The Blanks finished third and the Phi Gam's took fourth.
Tie in 440-yard Dash
The 440-yard dash takes the honors of producing the surprise finishes of the afternoon. Roger Whitworth and Red Kendrede of the Blanks tied for first place by winning separate heats with identical times of 57.3 seconds. Bill Haynes of Delta Tau won third and George Rhoades of the Blanks finished fourth. The following men received 1 point in the race: Bill Brownlee, Beta, Jack Moore, Sigma Chi, Bib Schultheis, Delta Tau, and Bowman of Theta Tau.
Tom Scofield, Sigma Alpha Epsilon leaped 6 ft. $1 \frac{3}{4}$ in to take the high jump. He barely missed setting a new intramural record when he failed to clear 6 ft. $3 \frac{1}{2}$ in three attempts. Kenneth Sperry, Blanks, cleared 5 ft. 10 in to take second. Williams, Sigma Nu, took third. Other men who qualified are Tony Simms, Blanks, Bob Graham, Phi Psi, Paul Turner, SIG Ep, and Harold Cunningham, Theta Tau.
First place in the shot put was taken by Junius Penny, Blank, with a heave of 40 ft. $ \frac{1}{4} $ in. Max Kissell, Phi Psi, placed second; Frank Gage, Sig Alph, third; and John Reber, Rock Chalk, fourth.
Walker Vaults 11 $ \frac{1}{2} $ feet
Bill Walker, Phi Delta Theta, cleared 11 ft. 6 in. to take first place in the pole vault. On this third attempt at 12 ft. Walker brushed the bar off on the way down. There was a four-way tie for second place between Williams, Sigma Nu, Wells, Phi Delt, Jelinek, Sig Ep, and O'Neil Beta.
Qualifiers for today's 100-yard dash finals are Harry Johnson, Blanks, Johy Duffey, Sigma Nu, Kenneth Winters, Sig Alph, Miller, Blanks, Dick Shields, Phi Gam, and Nelson, Beta.
For today's 220-yard dash semifinals the following men were qualified: Johnson and Miller, Blanks;

Take Me Out to .. Major Leagues Obtain Good Talent From Minors
Don't ask who they are, be words out of your mouth they w Don't ask. Let me try to mention it in a vague, casual sort of way while uncle whiskers isn't looking. The National League, for instance.
By LAWTON CARVER
Take the Boston Braves—and taking them is something practically everybody does if you will permit the reminder. They have a gent named Charlie Red Barrett who, at Syracuse, led the entire International League last season in pitching victories with 20 against 12 defeats. He, in fact, was the only 20-game winner in the circuit.
New York, (INS)—War or no war, the major leagues have come up with some sparkling good talent out of the minors for the start of the 1943 season.
They also have Johnny McCarthy, who at Indianapolis, lead the American Association in runs batted in with 113, or a few more than the Brooklyn Dodgers or New York Giants ever thought he could get across the plate in the days when he played with them. He also led in total bases.
The Braves also have, of course, in the person of Jim Tobin, the pitcher who hit more home runs than any other pitcher last season and in him the pitcher who lost more games than any other, but we will skip that remembering that in Ernie Lombardi they also have the National League batting champion if he decides to come back again. The Brooklyn Dodgers
The Boston Braves
The Dodgers will present, as erstwhile minor league leaders, Country Olmo, the batting champion of the Piedmont League—and the champion in most other hitting departments—and Roberto Ortiz, the
Cuban acquired from the Phils, who was the Southern League leader. The Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs will present Kewpie Barrett, who led the Pacific Coast League in earned runs with a 1.72 figure and with 27 victories, the most won by any pitcher in any league last season. They also have Whitey Platt, whose .395 batting average made him tops in the Three-I League.
The Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds don't have much to offer in the way of minor league brilliance, unless you want to take Charlie Brewster, who at New Orleans stole 29 bases to lead the Southern Association in that department, besides hitting .301. The New York Giants
The New York Giants had Johnny Mize as the National League runs batted in champion to go along with the minor league stars but seemingly have lost him to the draft and now are concentrating on a number of others. There is Vic Bradford, an outfielder, for instance, who was the big man at Jacksonville in the Sally League with a batting average of 342, plus leadership in runs, total bases, doubles, triples and homers and a tie for runs batted in.
The Giants also have Bobby Combs, who won 17 against 11 defeats at Jersey City and turned in a 1.99 earned run average -in further perpetuating the baseball name

JUDGE LANDIS IN LOOK
The latest issue of Look carries a short but adequate article in which is summarized the policy of one dictator who doesn't crave publicity in his own country. He is none other than 76-year old Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the high commissioner of baseball.
Judge Landis, the same as other dictators, has the complete and final say so over his subjects. He is baseball's policeman, lawmaker, prosecutor, judge, jury, and final court of appeal. However, unlike other dictators, he threatens to give up his job if his employees question his actions.
$$
*****
$$
BECAME HIGH COMMISSIONER IN 1920
To prevent a recurrence of a scandal like that of the 1919 "Black Sox," major league club owners in 1920 asked Judge Landis to become baseball's high commissioner. Showing his complete independence, the judge, when the baseball men had come to him while he was trying a kribery case to offer him the $50,000-a-year job, eyed them scornfully and then thundered: "There will be less noise in this courtroom or I will clear it."
For 22 years baseball's monarch has been answerable only to himself. His contract has only one clause: "The major and minor leagues severally agree to be bound by the decisions of the commissioner rendered in accordance with this agreement and severally waive such rights of recourse to the courts as otherwise might have existed in their favor."

BASEBALL'S WARTIME PROBLEM
With major leagues opening their baseball campaigns in less than three weeks, the Judge is facing his greatest wartime problem—keeping those leagues operating as long as possible without exposing baseball to criticism from the Government, from the armed forces, and from the public. He needs no lobbying in Congress to keep this 102-year old American game in good graces—60,000,000 fans are his lobby.

Farm Senators Warn Of Fight If Wages Go Up
Washington. (INS)—The senate farm bloc yesterday gave President Roosevelt notice that it will launch a fresh drive for higher prices unless demands for industrial wage boosts are denied.
This declaration followed failure of the farm bloc move to override the presidential veto on the Bankhead bill, which would prohibit deduction of farm benefit payments in fixing ceiling prices.
(continued from page four) of Coombs, first and most prominently brought into the headlines by his uncle, Jack Coombs, one of the greatest hurlers back in the dim
The senate referred the veto message to the agriculture committee by a vote of 62 to 23 after a pool showed that the bill could not be passed over a veto. Sen. John H. Bankhead, (D), Alabama, author of the bill, made the motion.
"We will wait a while and see what happens," said Bankhead. "If they go ahead increasing wages and other costs, we will bring the bill up again."
Thus the inflation issue, temporarily at least, shifted to the battle of John L. Lewis for a $2-a-day increase for his coal miners, and other demands by labor on the war labor board for wage boosts.
While the inability of the farm bloc to muster a two-thirds vote to override the veto was regarded as a smashing victory for the President in the senate, Democratic senate leader Barkley was dissatisfied.
He likened referring the Bankhead bill to committee as "a club behind the door," which could be pulled out by the farm bloc at any time.
"A straight out vote to uphold the President's yeto would have been more helpful in the anti-inflation fight," he said.

Shortage of Doctors Threatens Nation With 'Slow Deterioration' of Health
With approximately one-third of the nation's doctors in the armed forces, the Office of War Information has reported a "slow deterioration" of health in areas suffering from medical shortages. After a comprehensive survey of 60 United States communities in 20 states, the OWI released certain generalizations on the situation.
"While there is not at present a serious breakdown in the health of the nation due to the doctor shortage," OWI reported, "there is a probability of slow deterioration of health in communities suffering from medical shortages. Long hours of work in war plants are a contributing factor in health breakdown. The problem of absenteeism in war factories due to illness is a serious impediment to the success of the war."
Between 40,000 and 45,000 physicians have entered the armed forces, a large number to subtract from the 135,932 "effective" physicians in the United States on Sept. 30, 1942. Even with this number of doctors in the forces, the army and navy are calling for more, and they will probably request increased numbers in the future. The main problem rising from this situation seems to be the disparity of doctors called from different sections of the country. "Too many doctors are being taken from some sections and not enough from others," OWI officials assert.
Although many have thought the answer to this problem to be the relocation of doctors to areas in need, this does not mean it is a simple procedure. Districts where the shortage of doctors is the most acute are rural areas where the income standard is low. Physicians are not willing to leave lucrative practices to undertake such difficult tasks in those areas. Often doctors who have left for war service are not anxious to see outside doctors come in and take over their practices, and incoming doctors are often seriously discouraged.
Such attitudes and practices definitely threaten the health and welfare of the nation and lead officials farther and farther from solving the important problem. The idea that some doctors themselves are hindering the situation by such attitudes as here expressed is a disgrace to the profession.
This is a problem that affects every American and any time, money, or consideration that can be offered in any way to relieve the coming of a serious disaster to the health standards of the nation should be given attention.
Head of Kansas State College Has Long Record of Service
With the coming of the announcement of the resignation of Dr. F. D. Farrell, president of the Kansas State College at Manhattan, a long chapter of untiring service is added to the book of educators who have been leading and guiding American youths into the light of learning for many years. Throughout his varied career, Dr. Farrell has been interested in the agriculture of different states and in the agricultural service of the country. His deep interest in that field has made him an active and understanding president for the Kansas State College, a position he has held since May 4,1925
Just Wondering
Why students don't dispose of their chewing gum in some other manner rather than by throwing it in the drinking fountains in University buildings.
---
Dr. Farrell was born March 13, 1883, at Smithfield, Utah. After spending his early life on large ranches in Utah and Wyoming, he was graduated with a bachelor of science degree in 1907 from Utah Agricultural College. Later he was employed by the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1910 he organized the Agricultural Extension Service at the University of Idaho.
Returning to the Department of Agriculture in 1911, he became assistant agriculturist in Western irrigation investigations in 1914 and remained on that job in charge of government reclamation projects until 1918. In 1925, he was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Agriculture by the University of Nebraska.
Dr. Farrell expresses his belief and interest in youth by his statement that the State College needs a young vigorous president. "I no longer have the strength necessary to enable me properly to carry the responsibilities of the position" he said.
Although Dr. Farrell is handing his position to those younger and is stepping aside for those with youthful strength and vigor, his strength of character as a leader, director, and friend to many college students will keep him young on the pages of the history telling of those performing real service.

Strange beffellows: Half way awake one morning this week, Katie Burchfield, Theta, was bothered by something in bed with her. She reached out to push it away and came in contact with the cold body of a snake.
Mariette Bennett had arisen 15 minutes early to establish the fendish situation. Mariete claims she intended only to have the creature draped over the head of the bed when Katie awoke. Somehow, the snake, being dead and therefore, not realizing what he did, slithered on in.
*****
Complete with catalog: Casual pedestrians walking about the west end of the campus around 6 o'clock one morning this week sighted a small square building on the back porch of the Gamma Phi house. On the door of the structure there was a crescent (the symbol of Gamma Phi—and other things) beneath which were inscribed the Greek letters of the sorority.
Surely this was the work of practical jokers. For years everyone has been led to believe, at least, that the Gamma Phi establishment is completely modern.

The point system—its humane side: Betty Jean Whitney and her roommates, Dorothy Dodsworth, Delores Sulzman, and Esteleleen Downs of Ricker hall are looking for some good book on how to be compatible with members of the rodent family, because they expect to be frequently in the company of said family, henceforth.
As of the day cheese went on the point list, the girls' only line of defense (seven mouse traps) crumbled.
Anything for a laugh—and $900: With not quite all of the $900 necessary for throwing the Junior Prom in their pockets, class officials thrust a cow bell into the hands of Raymond Kersher and advanced to Watson library.
Raymond began by walking through tables of students, clanging the bell, and announcing that only 32 hours and 45 minutes and 30 seconds remained before the Junior Prom, and people had better start buying tickets.

The little stunt ended with a game of tag in which Mr. Baker, chief librarian, and Raymond were the principal participants. At a distance of some 30 feet, the two ran from the basement to the third story and back down again. Mr. Baker was "it."
Live Alligator in Dyche Penthouse Pet
By JEAN JONES
Accounts of spectators dying from shock caused by having an alligator scream at them in a museum of stuffed animals hasn't yet found its way into medical journals; but don't be surprised if your heart skips a beat when you have just such a verbal greeting from Dyche museum's prized specimen.
"Allie," as she has been christened, shares a penthouse apartment on the third floor of Dyche museum with some pickled
"Allie," as she has ment on the third floor of Dye snakes, a bird collection, and some Gila Monsters. About six years ago the alligator was brought to the University from Florida, and was placed in a wire cage. When "Allie" arrived in Lawrence, she could stretch out to a paltry 8 inches; but with a proper diet of meat, principally turtles, snakes, and birds, the reptile has grown to be $5\frac{1}{2}$ feet long.
Causes Little Trouble
The alligator has given the curator very little trouble up to date, as, aside from having to be fed in the spring and summer, she requires very little care. However if someday she should wander out of her cage to explore parts unknown, she would present quite a problem. Zoologists maintain that although "Allie" is famous for her cheerful disposition, the other half of her dual personality is fierce and ferocious. Relatives of hers have attacked men, sometimes killing them.
The alligator's back and sides are defended by hard mailed plates, so the chances of shooting "Allie" are
Spectators' Delight
Although the alligator's hide could be tanned into a high quality leather or her teeth sold for $2 a pound for ornaments, she is not likely to meet such a drastic end. For the last five or six years she has been taken to Green's lake in the summer to delight spectator's, and this alone, makes "Allie" almost indispensable.
Down the hall from "Allie" live several Gila Monsters. They hail from the region around the Gila river in Arizona, for which they were named. The poisonous lizards are covered with bright orange and black pebble-like scales. Although usually inactive, they are vicious when aroused. The grip of their powerful jaws is so tenacious that a man can't break it without some prying instrument. They have grooved teeth, at the base of which are large salivary glands, with which they can deal our injurious bites.

Primitive Rhapsody
---
By JOHN E. HANKINS
"Primitive Rhapsody," written for the music of Karl Kuersteiner, was first read at the University Symphony orchestra Concert Monday evening. The entire work attempts to represent man's emergence from inarticulate existence into the creative life of thought.
I
Behold Mankind.
Out of the dust arising, out of primordial darkness,
Seeking the gift of life, against the barriers thrusting,
Slowly struggling up through all the levels of being.
Until at length emerges the perfect and godlike image.
Yet lives he a beast with beasts, his powers latent within him,
Unknown, undeveloped, unthought, for to thought he still is a stranger.
Where is the key to unlock Man's mind, to arouse his spirit,
To open the eyes of his soul, to waken the life of his brain?
Until the key be found, Man cannot truly be Man;
Slowly and blindly groping will be the life of his spirit;
Vague and dim are his thoughts, and so must ever remain.
II
then came the Word
Hear from Man's lips a word, the magic symbol of meaning, The wondrous gift of speech, the gift of wide thought-sharing, The key that unlocks his mind and opens the eyes of his soul. Hark to the voice of Man as he earnestly talks with his fellows. Each contributing thoughts and each enriching his store From others' thoughts revealed in the strange new world of language.
A world of endless wealth and infinitely increasing, Yet Man, athirst for knowledge, will ever seek for more. Hark to the voice of Man.
III
Joyously now can Man look forth with a wider vision,
Facing the world before him with strong and confident gladness.
Into his soul are born bright images of beauty,
Visions of love and kindness, of happiness ever enduring.
Through all his veins he feels the keenest joy of living,
The quickening fire of thought, the life that has gained a
meaning.
Gladly he moves his limbs and raises his voice in singing;
No more with savage nature feels he ever at strife,
For dancing and music and song have come to gladden him,
The rhythm of melody, rhythm of motion, and rhythm of life.
Y
IV
Learning the joy of living, Man wishes never to die;
He wishes to be remembered after his body is gone.
To conquer the silent centuries ceaselessly passing by,
To merit posterity's praise, he labors patiently on.
He bends to his plastic hand the stubborn wood and stone,
Striving therein to capture the beauty of the earth;
Immortal longings brighten the world that he has known,
And from his love of nature his art receives its birth.
V
Dwelling within the dust, Man turns his face to the stars;
Upward he sets his course, his journey scarcely begun;
Eagerly beats his soul at the world's strong prison bars,
Straining impatiently forward to conquests not yet won.
Now mirthful revely crowns a triumph for work well done,
Now dark despair betokens a heavy sense of loss;
Who travels the road of ages its terrors never may shun,
The shattering of a world, the agony of a cross.
The old is constantly passing; the gods of wood and stone
Fall to decay, that newer and wiser gods may arise;
Through wilderness into the plain, through darkness into the
dawn,
Through suffering into joy, the path of humanity lies. Upward pursue the journey, upward into the light For see, beyond the horizon, the sun still shining bright.
Bolivia Enters War Against Axis Powers
La Paz, Bolivia, (INS) — Bolivia yesterday became the twelfth Latin- American country to declare war on the Axis powers.
A decree ordering immediate mobilization for war was issued last night by Pres. Enrique Penaranda. The decree must be confirmed by the Bolivian Congress, but the approval of the congress was regarded as a mere formality.
Bolivia has a population of 3,426,000 and rich resources in tin,tungsten and other strategic metals vitally important to the United Nations' war effort.
The declaration of war may have serious internal repercussions, since there are many Germans and Italians in Bolivia.
Diplomatic relations with the Axis were severed by Bolivia in January, 1942.
Other Latin-American countries that have declared war on the Axis are Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Mexico.
Reports were current that Chile and Peru might follow the example of Bolivia.
Bowlus Is Promoted To Corporal
Pfc. Thomas M. Bowls, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Bowls of 607 W. 8 street, Coffeyville, Kans., has been promoted to the rank of corporal at the Army Air Forces Advanced Flying School, Carlsbad, N.M. This recognition is the result of his capable work in the training program of the Army Air Forces.
She's Animal Husbandry Major Gladys Merrill, senior, is the only woman at Washington State college currently majoring in animal husbandry.
PENTHOUSE PET---
Some blue racers, rattlesnakes, and copper heads used to share Dyche's third floor flat with "Allie" and the "Gilas", but recently the curator decided they could be of more use to their country as specimens; so with the help of a little chloroform, their apartment was vacated.
PENTHOUSE PET...
(continued from page six)
Judging from the complaints handed the curator, the live animals and the stuffed specimens are having no domestic difficulties. They are living very comfortably even with the ration program.

★ Letters to the Editor
This morning when I was donating blood to the Red Cross blood bank the cot next to me was occupied by a negro man doing the same thing. That was as it should be!
To the Editor:
His blood and mine and the blood of every individual contributing to the blood bank was drawn in separate containers, and is kept in separate containers until it is processed in Chicago. There is nothing on those individual bottles to indicate race or color.
It is disappointing to find that some of our students have so little intellectual curiosity that they will not verify rumours before passing them on to the readers of the Kansan.

Washington, (INS) President Roosevelt and Economic Stabilization Director James F. Byrnes disclosed today that the Office of Price Administration will complete, probably tomorrow, a program for establishing specific dollars and cents ceiling prices on all "costs of living" commodities at the retail level.
Both the President and Byrnes, however, stressed that the ceiling prices will apply only when the economic stabilization director had determined that the commodity under consideration is a factor in the cost-living.
OPA Completes Ceiling Program
At the same time, President Roosevelt cautioned that inflation control could not be the desired result unless all of them were used.
He likened the anti-inflation program to the four-legged stool and listed the legs as:
(Mrs. C. F.) Hearty B. Nelson
1. Control of wages.
2. Cost of food.
3. Development of rationing.
4. Tax and savings legislation by congress.

Three Students Hold Full Time SOW Jobs
So you think going to school is a full-time job? At least three students on the Hill are holding down full-time 48-hours-a-week jobs in addition to their studies. They are hospital orderlies at the Sunflower Ordnance Works,going to classes during the day and working at night. $ \textcircled{2} $
Ralph Hale. College junior and pre-medic, works the swing shift, 4 o'clock to midnight; Winfred Nash, senior pharmacy student, is on the graveyard detail, midnight to 8 o'clock; and Floyd Santner, junior pre-medic, works as relief for the first two, sometimes working 16-hour shifts. Santner, however, has a reduced class schedule.
All have been working at the plant since June 1 of last year. Their duties are to assist the seven full-time physicians on the plant medical staff, and to take care of minor injuries in the field. They ride in regulation army ambulances which have bullet-proof bodies and all the trimmings of a front line vehicle.
Nash, who is taking 17 hours of
school work and preparing for the state pharmacy examinations, admits that he has to be in somewhat of a hurry to drive to town in the 30 minutes between the time he gets off work and his first class. He pins class notes to the steering wheel and studies as he drives.
The men admit that they sometimes sleep as long as 20 hours at a stretch on their days off. During the week they nap between classes, at noon,' and, except in Hale's case, after dinner in the evening.
Nash, from Tulsa, Okla., got his desire to attend pharmacy school while working in a Walgreen drug store. Starting when he was 11 years old, he has worked, until last summer, for that chain every summer between school terms, and has a pin 'or ten years service.
Hansen, Todd Are ConferenceDelegates
Hansen will participate in one of the several round-table discussions, speaking on "The Culbertson Plan for World Reorganization." Todd will probably be chairman of another discussion group. Both men are members of the local International Relations club.
Edward Hansen, College senior, and Richard Todd, College junior, will represent the University at the annual Mississippi Valley conference of the International Relations club today and tomorrow at Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa. The conference is sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Main speakers at the conference are Clyde Eagleton, professor of International Law at New York University; and William C. Johnstone, Jr., dean of the faculty at George Washington University, Washington, D.C. The program of the conference emphasizes post-war possibilities.
Tau Kappa Epsilon men at Fort Hays State have solved the meatless days by catching fish for the table.
Senior Life Saving Enthusiasts To Have Meeting Monday
A meeting for all men and women students interested in taking a Senior Life Saving Course will be at 4:30 Monday afternoon in room 204 Robinson gymnasium, Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education has announced.
A short intensive course will be arragged if a sufficient number of students are interested. To be eligible for the course, the student does not need any previous life-saving training. Miss Hoover said that there will be need for life-guards for camps and swimming-pools this summer.
Farragut Hostess Is KU Graduate
Mrs. Laura Gray, a graduate of the University and a former United States woman's rifle champion, has been appointed receptionist for the new hostess house at the naval training station at Farragut, Idaho. Before being appointed to the new position, Mrs. Gray had been in charge of recreation rooms in various camps.

Relax Requirements For Okla. Teachers
Oklahoma City, (INS)—Teaching certificate requirements have been issued by the Oklahoma board of education to meet the emergency of the growing teacher shortage existing throughout the state.
The board, to cope with the problem adopted recommendations of a group of state educators to reduce the number of semester hours needed for a one-year elementary certificate. Hours were reduced from 65 to 60, making the second cut since the war started. Originally 76 hours were required. Provision was made also for issuance of a temporary elementary certificate on a 40 to 60-hour basis and adjusted to renewal under certain conditions.
Recommendations included organization in each county of a pool of potential teachers available to fill positions in the county or anywhere in the state, and plans for temporary transfers and transportation of children when suitable teachers cannot be secured.

1943 Honors Convocation On Tuesday
Honors convocation, formerly scheduled for Thursday, will be at 10 a.m., Tuesday in Hoch auditorium. Robert Lawrence Stearns, president of the University of Colorado and speaker at convocation, called late Friday afternoon to inform Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, of the necessary change.
Approximately one hundred fifteen names of honor students will appear on the printed program Tuesday. These include the upper 10 per cent of the seniors in all schools of the University, and the leading student or students in other classes.
Students to be honored will receive notices tomorrow to appear back stage so that they may be seated in a reserve section of the auditorium. Other honors and awards will be made by Chancellor Deane W. Malott from the stage.
President Stearns, speaker, has practiced law in Denver since 1916, when he was admitted to the Colorado bar. He has been president of the University of Colorado since 1939. In 1917 and 1918, he was a captain in the Army Air Corps.

Band Is Two Hours Late Junior Prom
Arriving before an impatient Junior Prom crowd shortly before 10 o'clock last night, Jack Teagarden and his band changed hastily to formal dress behind the curtains of the Hoch auditorium stage and broke into the first number at 10:55 p.m.
The spokesman for the band told Kansan reporters a tale of wartime travel woe. From an engagement in Wichita, the band intended to take the 3:50 p.m. train to Lawrence, but found at the last moment that the train would be four hours late. Dispatching two members of the band in their truck with the instruments, they besieged the local rationing board for gas enough to transport them to the dance. The board was unmoved.

An inquiry was made for an available trumpeter upon the campus, and John Pope of the Bachmann-Pope band was suggested as the only one who could fill in upon such short notice. Pope was finally reached and before midnight he was in the Teagarden band taking solo bows to enthusiastic applause. Other students made their appearances with the band: Donald Cousins, freshman engineer, took over as one of the saxophone players shortly after midnight, with Phil Cato starting on the drums at 12:30 a.m.
Meeting in hasty conference backstage soon after the band's arrival were Henry Werner, men's adviser; Vincent Harris of the Business Office; Raymond Nichols, executive (continued to page five)

"The false belief that war is a biological necessity is the primary obstacle to peace," Dr. Paul B. Sears told members of the Kansas Academy of Science and others at a banquet in the Kansas room last night.
Sixty-seven persons who registered were not allowed to give their blood because of physical defects. Four hundred and thirty-six persons actually went to the Community building to give their blood.
Blood Donors Give 369 Pints To Mobile Unit
Three hundred and sixty-nine pints of blood were given to the Red Cross mobile unit by people of Lawrence and University students Thursday and Friday. This blood, which was taken at the Community building, was sent to Chicago in cold storage where it was dehydrated, packed in glass containers along with glass-cased units of distilled water, and it will be used for men in the service.

Medics Resign Commissions
Dr. Sears, who is chairman of the department of botany
Most of the medical students and pre-medics of the University have resigned their commissions in the army to take advantage of the army specialized training program which will go into effect sometime after June. Approximately 60 medical students on the campus and 150 in the University School of Medicine in Kansas City have commissions in the army.
Three fourths of the University medical students and pre-medics will be on active duty with the army or the navy when the programs go into effect, Dr. C. W. Asling, anatomy professor estimated. These men will be given base pay by the army, put in uniform and sent to school here taking the same courses under the same teachers that they would have otherwise. Their tuition, board and housing will be provided by the army. Dr. Asling stated that there is a possibility that they will be housed all together.
On graduation those men with physical, professional, and other qualifications will be commissioned first lieutenants in the medical corp and after an acceptable internship will go directly into service. The commission resigned was that of second lieutenant in the medical administrative corps of the army.
at Oberlin college in Oberlin, Ohio, spoke as part of the seventy-fifth anniversary meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science held on the campus yesterday.
He assured listeners that war is unnecessary and that it is the job of science to reduce the area of uncertainty in political life so that unnecessary disputes would be eliminated. "This war is being fought in the hope of abolishing future wars; that is essentially a moral problem, but it involves the scientific question of fact." Science Will Bring Peace
Science Will Bring Peace
Peace is essentially a problem in human relationships, which are dealt with in the science of ecology; complete understanding of this science will eventually bring lasting peace, Dr. Sears stated.
After Dr. Sears' lecture a cake honoring the 75th anniversary of the Kansas Academy of Science was cut by the oldest member present. Dr. Raymond Wheeler, retiring president of the Academy, talked about the effect of climate on human behavior in history.
Dr. Harvey Zinszer, head of the department of physics at Fort Hays Kansas State college, will be president of the Academy as it begins its 76th year. President-elect is L.D. Bushnell of Kansas State College at Manhattan, and vice-president is J.W. Breukelman of Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia. John C. Frazier of Kansas State will retain his position as secretary and F.W. Albertson of Hays College will remain the treasurer.
Two KU Professors On Council Dr. Wheeler, A.C. Carpenter of Ottawa, and Claude W. Hibbard, professor in the department of zoology at the University will make up the executive council.
W. J. Baumgartner, professor in the zoology department on the Hill, and Paul Murphy of K.S.T.C. at Emporia will be managing editor and assistant editor, respectively, of the Academy publication.
Contributions of nine different sciences to the war effort were discussed by leaders in each field at a symposium yesterday afternoon. Discussion leaders were bacteriology and medicine: Dr. Noble P. (continued to page five)

Victory Speakers Tour Plan Expands
The popularity of the Victory speakers, who have just finished a week of intensive speech engagements throughout the eastern part of the state, has made Prof. E. C. Buehler, originator of the group, even more enthusiastic about his idea.
"These students, who have public by giving informative speeches to civic clubs and high school assemblies on their tour, are becoming increasingly popular," said Professor Buehler, "and now we have more demands for speakers than we can take care of."
students, who have been presenting war facts to the
Prof. Buehler started this idea of having students give informative speeches to the public, because he was encouraged by a similar arrangement in connection with Navy day last fall, he said. At that time he had nine speakers who talked before 32 different audiences making up a total of 6,500 people.
Since he has begun the plan, Professor Buehler said that he has "received so many favorable reports from school systems and civic clubs that I am encouraged to go on and set up Victory Speakers of informative speeches which give the public tools to think with."
Jessie Farmer, education senior; Jack Parker, College senior and freshman medical student; Newell Jeukins, College junior; Bill Hough, College sophomore; Eddie Hanson, College senior; and Judson Goodrich College junior, are the six Victory Speakers at the present time. Edith Ann Fleming, College junior, may join the group later, Professor Buehler said.
"Three or four speeches are given at each stop and the subjects used by the speakers are "Medicine in modern War," "The Miracle of Russia," "How to Pay for This War," and "Tank Warfare." Other subjects which are popular with the speakers are "The Culbertson Plan for Peace" and "The New Geography."
Last week's speaking began Sunday night at Haskell Institute; Tuesday night the Victory Speakers spoke at the Trinity Lutheran Church; Thursday noon, the Kiwanis Club in Kansas City, Kan.; Wyandotte High School, Thursday afternoon; and Bonner Springs Rotary Club Thursday night. Friday they traveled to Humboldt, Chanute, and Garnett to speak. On Friday they were accompanied by Bernard "Pooc" Frazier, but earlier in the week Professor Buehler traveled with the speakers.
Pending engagements for the Victory Speakers include Bonner Springs high school and probably a civic club in Kansas City Tuesday,

Slack Suits Are War Casualty
St. Louis (INS)—Slack suits which have become so popular with women war workers may become a war casualty.
This was the opinion expressed today by members of the Linen Supply Association of America which is in convention in St. Louis. They explained it takes three times as long to launder a pair of trousers as is required for a skirt and that current material shortages may reduce the number of suits available.
AAF Instructs Men To Eat Anything That Monkeys Can Eat
Washington, (INS)—Army Air forces personnel forced down over jungle terrain were advised today that they can eat anything monkey's eat—and eat the monkeys too.
The Office of Safety Education, Army Air Forces, issued this information in a comprehensive guide "Jungle and Desert Emergencies," designed to insure survival in such terrain.
The guide is especially adapted to jungle and desert countries. The cover is bright red, the paper is water resistant, and the binding glue contains insect-repellent powder.
Other instructions in the guide concern such subjects as crash landing, food, water, wild animals, and native populations.
Must Draw Line Now
Washington, (INS) President Roosevelt said yesterday: "To hold the line we cannot tolerate further increases in prices affecting the cost of living or further increases in general wage or salary rates except where clearly necessary to correct sub-standard living conditions."
OPA Will Allow Canning Sugar
Washington, (INS)—The Office of Price Administration has announced that sugar for home canning of 1943 fruit crops will be available on approximately the same basis as last season, with no deduction of blue point stamps for sugar obtained for this purpose.
Roughly, this pattern will be followed;
Housewives will apply to their local rationing boards for allotments of sugar on the basis of one pound for each four quarts of fruit that they plan to can, and, in addition, for one pound for each member of the family.
The announcement culminated a long fight within OPA over the issue of whether point stamps would be required for sugar for home canning.
Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown ruled out this proposal, however. Brown contended that the deduction of point stamps was impracticable and probably would involve considerable ill-will against OPA.
"The allotment of sugar for home canning reflects my desire to see America's housewives preserve the fullest possible amount of the 1943 fruit crop," he said. "We cannot afford to let fruit go bad for want of sugar to preserve it; even though sugar itself is rationed."

Shenk May Not Have Much Grid Coaching To Do
Although Henry Shenk has been appointed to fill the football coaching position vacated by the resignation of Gwinn Henry, he may have little football coaching to do next fall if other scheduled games suffer the same fate as did the Texas Christian-Kansas game.
In announcing the game's postponement for the duration, Karl Klooz, acting director of the University Athletic association, stated that there was no discussion of cancellation on the part of authorities of either school, and that athletic relations would be resumed after the war.
The contract between K. U. and the Texans was originally a two year home and home agreement. The Jayhawkers went to Ft. Worth last October 10 where they were defeated by the Horned Frogs, 41 to 6.
Dr. Forrest'C. "Phog" Allen, baseball coach and director of the department of physical education, announced today that conditions seem to make it inadvisable to attempt to carry on varsity baseball. One of the chief reasons for dropping baseball, Allen pointed out, is the difficulty of scheduling games. It was anticipated, originally, that a $ ^{*} $
large share of the schedule would be arranged with service teams, but Dr. Allen stated that the Reception Center at Leavenworth, and the Naval School for Machinists' mates at Lawrence, had not as yet started baseball practice.
Tuesday's games, 4:30 p.m.
Dr. Allen indicated that in the first baseball practice session at the University, it was evident that the war psychology is having a definite effect in intercollegiate sports. That, he pointed out was very much in evidence during the closing days of the basketball season. Armand Dixon, for instance, left two days before the crucial Oklahoma game, although he was not due to report for service until a couple of weeks later.

Bob Hodgson pitched Phi Gamma Delta to a five-inning victory over Sigma Chi by a score of 13 to 3 in one of yesterday morning's two intramural softball games. The Phi Gam third and fourth inning drive, in which eleven runs were scored proved fatal to the late-starting Sigma Chi's whose only runs came in the fourth and fifth innings.
In the other game, Beta Theta Pi shaded Templin Hall by a score of 4 to 3. Templin's three runs were made in the fourth inning, while the Beta runs came in the third, sixth, and seventh innings. The score was tied until the last half of the seventh inning.

WIN THE WAR — BUY BONDS
For the Missouri game at Columbia, all-American guard Ray Evans decided at the last moment to pass up this important game, but on second consideration caught the train the following morning and arrived in Columbia in time to help win the game. Most of the boys passed up the Creighton game, but returned for the final contest against the Kansas Aggies.
Dr. Allen was entirely in sympathy with the boys' attitudes of putting the war ahead of intercollegiate athletics. He pointed out, however, that there was a definite defection from former firm adherence to athletic loyalties and competition in the more important problem of winning the war. As the war continues, this lessened interest will become more pronounced. Consequently, the Doctor doesn't expect much of intercollegiate athletics until the war is won.
In the meantime, arrangements are going ahead for the important intramural baseball plans for the summer semester and regular summer session at the University.

Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt today outlined to Alfred M. Landon, 1932 Republican presidential candidate, a post-war plan to raise the health and living standards of underprivileged races of the world and increase their purchasing power.
Landon, who conferred with the chief executive for 30 minutes today, said that among the things discussed with the president was the post-war program to increase purchasing power of underprivileged nations "instead of having them milked as has been the habit of most of the colonial empire systems of the world."
"I might ad myself," Landon said, "that the plan the president outlined as having in mind in order to achieve this objective appealed to me as having considerable merit."
The former Kansas governor said that they had discussed the political consequences of the president's postwar plan but declined to disclose whether any domestic political questions were reviewed.
Landon declared that President Roosevelt had told him some things about his recent conferences at Casablanca which had not appeared in the press. He refused to elaborate, however.
Allied Food Conference Will Be Held April 27
Washington, (INS) — Reports were current in diplomatic circles in Washington Friday that the United Nations Food Conference, which is scheduled for April 27, will be held at Hot Springs, Va.
Thirty-eight nations have been invited to attend the conference. Secretary of State Cordell Hull announced early Friday that nine nations, including Russia, already have accepted.

Judge Brice Clagett of municipal court was hearing the case of a Washington woman who, according to testimony went into a dress shop to cash a 65-cent check. A clerk gave her $65 by mistake, it was said.
The woman denied the charges and Judge Clagett asked her to recount the transaction.
"What did the counter girl give you for the check," asked the pudge. "Two quarters, a dime and a nickel," the woman answered.
"Then what did you do?" asked the judge.
"I folded the money, and put it in my purse," she said.
The defense folded.

Washington, (INS)—In a move designed to spread evenly the available supply of dry onions and white potatoes over the next three months, the OPA today announced that maximum prices on the two commodities during May and June will be 10 cents above April prices.
OPA said that in the absence of this adjustment the higher April price would have encouraged growers to sell as much as possible of their supply this month.

Well-Aimed Petition Loses Significance When Used for Any Political Advantage
The petition that was circulated on the campus this weekend was probably started in all good faith to help bring about democratic ideals and to relieve a problem that some persons have felt pressing for some time. When this petition, however, fell into the hands of students who saw a chance to use it, not as a means to help the Negro, but as a weapon to defeat other political ideas, the whole situation became disgusting and disgraceful.
Many students on the Hill signed the petition endorsing more liberal rights for the Negro in student activities because they actually felt that the Negro is entitled to entertainment and participation in student affairs. These persons did not, however, aim to sign any document which is becoming the basis for student politics.
The petition was started on the campus as the result of several sincere requests on the part of some white students that the Negro be given a chance to attend last night's Junior Prom and be allowed other privileges with all University students. The persons who honestly believe in this are taking a step which must be admired and their liberalism and democratic ideas are commendable. It is unfortunate that the intentions of such students must be swept aside by some persons who signed the petition not because they believed in what they were doing, but because it was an opportunity to sway votes to one political side or the other. "For the good of the party" or "more votes for our side" is a poor thought in any action which includes the race question or any consideration of freedom and rights.
Any party who has the interest of all students foremost in its mind is to be admired for fearlessly bringing to light any question that hinders the full practice of those interests. To bring up a question that will appear favorable to a group of students just because it might mean a hundred or so votes for the party in an election is a violation of the trust given campus leaders.
Not only does the insincerity of such actions cause persons to lose faith in ideals and principles, but it also places the University Negro in an embarrassing situation. The Negro did not ask for the petition; neither did he ask to be included in any platform or campaign. His minority position and his silent cooperation have been taken advantage of when the real reason behind any such liberal action is lost.
Under the new constitution, no petition would have been necessary to gain the Negro admittance to the dance. Such an action to test student opinion is a fine idea, because no government can work for the people or for students unless it knows what those persons are thinking and what they want. However, when there is a possibility that the Councils were led to think that many students really believed in the petition they signed when it was actually done for political means, then students are failing their leaders.
Students have asked for political parties, and now they have them. Parties can be strong, powerful, and profitable when used in the right way; and American ideals will live only as long as there are persons to work for these parties in their true purpose instead of twisting and distorting principles for political ends.

Just Wondering
How many different plans will be voiced at the conference of the 39 United Nations to discuss postwar food problems which starts in this country April 27.
The Nazis have put an 11 o'clock curfew on restaurants and public houses; that is, if the RAF doesn't close them sooner.
The Institute of Women's Professional Relations wants to stake a claim for a better place for women in the postwar world. The home used to be good enough.
O-
In Chicago, Arpd Sabados, 107 years of age gave a recipe for longevity: retire at 100. He no doubt, must believe that the first 100 years are the hardest.
Berlin radio has reported in a broadcast that the 8th army has started "test shots" for finding range to German strongholds. At least, that is better than Rommel's "trial and error method.
Office of Price Administration has announced that sugar will be available for home canning this year on approximately the same basis as last season with no deduction of blue point stamps for sugar obtained for this purpose. With the increase in victory gardens and the canned food rationing program, American women can help the situation by home canning and preserving of fresh products.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
Avoid shrinking—dryclean: Jean Cody, Chi O, was preparing to spend this weekend with Dayton Shark, a former Phi Psi, who is now in the service. She was shampooing her hair and singing something about "Let's get lost—lost in each others arms."
Jean emerged from the fog rather immediately when someone asked her when she had started dry cleaning her hair. Jean looked more carefully at her bottle of liquid shampoo. It said "Energine."
*****
Wolfing—even the engineers are: Ruth Krehbiel and Rosslyn McCampbell, after acquiring their own dates, went with Elsie Thompson Friday night to pick up (drag out) Larry Smith at the Theta Tau house. Larry sent down word that he was writing some important letters and it might be a while.
The Corbin girls were sitting demurely in the front room when they were approached by the other engineer in the house who wasn't studving—Locker Bentley.
Said Bentley bluntly, "None of you look very funny."
Without further comment he began bringing in zoot coats, derbies, bow ties, etc., draping all to the best advantage.
The girls looked terriqe, but Bentley got in much trouble with the literary Smith for taking such an interest in the latter's enterprise—namely Elsie. It must have been pretty serious. Saturday morning Bentley went to Kansas City.
The bells are ringing: Phyllis Davis, Campus house, was more disappointed than anything else when she woke up in the middle of the night and found that the noises she had been hearing came from a barrage of alarm clocks set off by her very good friends Helen Yount, Arlene Bender, and LuEllen Hall. It seems Phyllis had been having a delightful dream about June and weddings and the sound effects had made everything real.

Two can play as well as one: Emmy Neidermeyer and Helen Dilley, Wager hall, tired of the navy chorus, "We Don't Want No More of Kansas," ringing constantly in their ears, so they made up words of their own to the song with a chorus of "We Don't Want no More Sailors."
Eight of the lines:
* * *
They whistle at our coeds
They took our union ballroom
And bring the dogs around;
And stuck us in the lounge.
They roam the streets on weekends
And date our junior high;
They don't seem to remember
Kansas is supposedly dry.
er every chorus the girls hasten to explain they are only kid-
are the sailors—they hope.
The pre-war student who worked his way through college by selling magazine subscriptions, shoveling snow, firing furnaces, and jerking sodas has been replaced by the student working on a job that will help him make good in a career even before he is graduated.
"In the past," Endicott said, "we had to find jobs for students. Now we can't find students for the jobs. This situation provides the placement bureaus of colleges with an opportunity to become vocational guidance centers. Before the war, all we could do in most cases was
A survey of jobs offered students since the opening of school last fall reveals that 1,900 positions were available, with only 1,200 students to fill them. Nearly all the jobs, although part-time, provided special experience.
Opportunities for college students to work their way through school were never more plentiful, according to Frank S. Endicott, director of Northwestern university's placement bureau, who reports that since the war, students have their pick of jobs offering valuable experience in essential businesses and industries.
No More Soda Jerking JOBS PLENTIFUL

to see that the students got some kind of a job. Now we can try to adapt different students to various kinds of jobs that coincide with their occupational interests."
This situation holds true for women students, as well as for men, Endicott said. Especially wanted are women with some professional, secretarial, or technical training; and to supply this need Northwestern University has instituted nearly 150 courses designed to train women for war service, industry, and community work.
Although many men students expect to be called into the service soon, they are confident that their part-time work experiences will aid them when they return after the war. Meanwhile women will have an opportunity to fit into positions previously held chiefly by men.

Service men stationed in this area now have at their disposal a recreation center, which has been established in the Lawrence community building under the direction of the recreation council of the service men's activities board.
The recreation center offers amusements for the satisfac
Hostesses Must Meet Standards
Approximately 250 junior hostesses attend the weekly Saturday night dances. University women, members of the Business and Professional Women's association, and wives of service men have offered their services as a brightening influence in the lives of Uncle Sam's bodyguard, and have been accepted by the board in this capacity. Strict regulations require hostess candidates to be 17 years old and at least seniors in high school. Two references must be presented to the board along with a parent's signature of approval before a hostess is approved by the board.
The boys who have been to the center seem to like it, according to Mrs. R. S. Brooks, but it is hoped that more of them will take advantage of its facilities. Any suggestions for further activities of the center will be appreciated, Mrs. Brooks pointed out.
Townspeople Direct Activities
Activities of the recreation center are under the direction of the following leaders: finance, George Hedrick, representative of city men's clubs and the chamber of commerce; activities, Mrs. Deal Six; sponsorship, Mrs. George Hedrick; junior hostesses, Mrs. L. C. Woodruff; equipment, Miss Joie Stapleton; Sunday hospitality, Mrs. E. E. Alexander; special courtesies, Mrs. E. L. Haynes; refreshments, Mrs. William Bordman; bingo, Herbert Cain.
Victory Loan Drive Begins
Tomorrow morning the second war loan campaign begins over the nation, and Lawrence and the University are prepared for the drive. Mr Irving Hill, chairman of the Douglas county drive, said yesterday afternoon.
In charge of the University drive will be the Coed Volunteer Corps, an organization with a membership of some 300 University women. Heading the CVC war loan drive is Florence Brown, College senior, of Sabetha.
Prof. E. C. Buchler, of the speech department, gave the kickoff speech for the Wyandotte county victory bond drive last night in Kansas City, Ks. Professor Buehler spoke before a group of community leaders from Wyandotte county and Kansas City. The Douglas county drive is part of the nation-wide Victory bond drive which has a goal of $13,000,-000. The Douglas county quota is $788,200 and three weeks from now it must be raised.
Pauline Moore Married Here
The former Miss Pauline Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Moore of Lawrence, was married yesterday to Clyde Leon Bysom of Wichita. The wedding took place at the home of the bride's parents. The guests were relatives and close friends.
The bride and bridegroom both attended the University, at which time Mr. Bysom had one of the prominent dance bands on the Hill. He is now employed by the Boeing Aircraft corporation.
The ceremony took place before the fireplace, banked with palms and baskets of spring flowers. A reception followed the wedding. The bride wore a tan gabardine suit with Kelly green accessories, and wore an orchid corsage. The couple was attended by Miss Dorothy Sawtell of Junction City and by the bride's brother, Robert Moore.
Eisenhower to Alexander
Allied Headquarters in North Africa, (INS)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower congratulated Gen. Sir Harold Alexander yesterday, saying: "You may be sure that the whole democratic world is applauding your successes against forces that have outraged our concepts of freedom and human rights. Good luck."
Davis Warns Farmers Must Reduce Prices
Washington, (INS)—Insisting that retail meat prices must be held at current levels, food administrator, Chester C. Davis today warned farmers that they must reduce live-stock prices and, at the same time, he threatened to seize all commercial corn stocks in the nation.
In his statement bristling with threats, Davis said that the current retail meat ceiling must be maintained, and he said that ceilings would be fixed on the price of livestock unless other alternatives do not bring downward adjustment in excessive costs in a reasonable time.
Willkie Accepts Invitation To Go To Australia
His warning that corn stocks may se requisitioned by the government was made because corn needed for livestock and poultry feed is not moving to the open market because of price restrictions fixed by the government.
New York, (INS)—Wendell Willkie disclosed today that he has been invited and would accept an invitation to visit Australia, providing the Federal Government approves as it did on his trips to Great Britain, Russia, China, India, and the Middle East.
The 1940 Republican Presidential candidate said he was suggesting to the Australian-American association of Queensland, New South Wales, in Victoria, South Australia, which invited him, that it make application to Washington for permission essential for such a trip.

300 Attend Tacky Party
Women Carry Out Vice Versa Theme; Some Call For Dates
BY EVELYN RAILSBACK
Clad in faded, patched clothes and costumes of clashing colors, more than 300 students attended the tacky Vice-Versa party in the main lounge of the Union building Friday night. Be-ribboned pig tails, freckles, and straw hats were quite in style.
The fellow in patched overalls with orange high-topped shoes and the girls in paper skirts had particularly outstanding costumes.
Bachmann and Pope's band played fast music which encouraged the jitterbugs present. The stag line, which was composed almost entirely of women, was an unusually active one.
Women carried through the Vice Versa theme even to paying for cokes and opening doors for their dates. A few brave souls even called for their men.
Nearly every man had a corsage, and the women's choices were highly original. Carrots tied with pretty ribbons, radishes arranged against firmly doilies, or bright-colored gum drops wrapped in cellophane be-decked nearly every male breast. One man wore a gardenia in his hair.
John Ashton Serves As Public Speaker
Dr. John W. Ashton, chairman of the department of English, is working overtime as a public speaker these days. Thursday and Friday of this week, he attended a regional meeting of the American Library Association at Topeka, where he was discussion leader in two panel discussions concerning what the libraries can do to make people more actively interested in planning for the post-war world.
Monday, Dr. Ashton will go to Independence where he will speak to a convocation of the High School and Junior College at one o'clock. That evening, he will be the speaker in the Independence Community Lecture Series.
Tuesday Dr. Ashton will go to Shawnee, Okla., to appear before "The Speech of the Month Club," on the subject, "Literature and Life." He will wind up his week's engagements at Emporia Tuesday with an address at the Scholarship Recognition Day at Emporia Teachers College, on the subject "Scholarship In Wartime."

Lt. Col. John W. Williams, engineering '23, was recently appointed commander of the Lincoln Air Base at Lincoln, Nebraska. He was transferred from Majors Army Air Field, Greenville, Texas where he served as an executive officer since its opening last July.
Col. Williams is a veteran of World War I and holds a Senior Pilot rating with 4,000 hours of flying time in over five years of service in the Army Air Corps. He was employed by Detroit Aircraft before he returned to the service in 1934.

Dance Manager Applications Are Due April 21
Applications for dance manager of all-University dances may be filed in room 1 in Frank Strong hall before April 21, Henry Werner, adviser of men, announced yesterday.
Any student interested is asked to write a letter of application stating his qualifications. These letters will be considered by a committee of four representing the student government with Werner advising.
The student's previous experience and his knowledge of what other students want are two qualifications which Werner said will be considered. The applicant's academic standing will enter in somewhat.
Duties of the dance manager include making all arrangements for hiring bands for all-University dances in cooperation with the business office. In addition he works unofficially with the president of the Student Union Activities board. The dance manager receives a remuneration.
Dance manager this year was Larry McSpadden, business senior.

University Band Presents Concert Tomorrow
University Band
Shown above is the University of Kansas Band which will present its annual spring concert tomorrow evening in Hoch auditorium, beginning at 8 o'clock.
Sgt. Dell Love, a former University student now with the eighth Army Air Force was one of 430 recipients of the air medal decorations announced recently in London.
Sgt. Love was a senior in the School of Business when he left the University between semesters last year. From his home near Lawrence, he went directly to Shepherd Field, Texas, for his first air air corps training. Before he left the country last September, he had taken further training in Barksdale Field, La., and Ft. Myers, Fla.
Approximately five per cent of all men and women employees are college graduates, he said, and they come from 325 domestic colleges and from foreign colleges in 34 different countries. According to Muir's report, engineering degrees predominate, numbering 6000. There are 500 with degrees in physics, chemistry, or science, nearly 800 with liberal arts degrees, and more than 1000 with degrees in business administration.
University Alumni Employed by G.E.
General Electric and associated companies employ 105 University of Kansas alumni among the 9,222 college graduates in their employ, R. C. Muir, vice president of General Electric and chairman of the company's education committee, reported recently.

'No One Gets Fat In Bombing'-Raye
Hollywood, (INS)—Martha Raye was back from the wars today with an effective but unpleasant recipe for reducing.
"Believe me," she said. "I've got the answer to how to lose weight. You don't get fat in a bombing."
The comedienne entertained American troops in England and Africa, mostly under fire, for six months.
She said her greatest ambition was to entertain "our boys in Tokyo."
Students Speak At Colloquy
Three students of the School of Pharmacy spoke at the regular pharmacy colloquy Tuesday morning. Ray Garrett, senior, discussed the manufacture and use of military explosives; Russell Mount, senior, described the uses of atabrin hydrochloride, a chemical used in conjunction with quinine in the treatment of malaria; and Fleming Wilson, junior, explained the use of vitamins.
Kinney Develops New Use for Clay
E. D. Kinney, professor in the department of mining and metallurgical engineering here, has developed a new process for the extraction of alumina from Kansas clay.
The alumina is used to produce aluminum metal, and Professor Kinney has applied for a joint patent with the University. He began his research work last summer in accord with the geological survey here.
Kansas clay is high in mineral content and there is a possibility of a great increase in Kansas industry if this extraction process is used, Professor Kinney said.
Captain Mary S. Bell, director of the WAAC for the Seventh service command, formerly was dean of woment at Coe college, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Maurice Hindus To Speak Here In Hoch May 5
Maurice Hindus, probably the most authentic interpreter of Russia today, will speak in convocation at 10 a.m. May 5, in Hoch auditorium. A Rusian-born journalist and author, Mr. Hindus recently left his native land and will return shortly after the close of school.
He came to America in 1905, and since 1923 he has revisited Russia frequently. He has studied at Colgate and Harvard Universities, obtaining his bachelor of science degree in 1915, the master of science degree in 1916, and the doctor of literature degree in 1931.
Books written by Mr. Hindus are "The Russian Peasant and Revolution" (1920), "Broken Earth" (1926), "The Great Offensive" (1933), "Moscow Skies" (1936), "To Sing with the Angels" (1941), "Hitler Cannot Conquer Russia" (1941), and "Russia and Japan" (1942).
Axis African Air Losses Totaled It was announced yesterday that 1,253 Axis planes had been shot down in Africa.
Stearns Gives Pattern for Post-war Plan
Likening trends and events of the post-war world to chapters in "A Baedeker for Future Travel," Robert L. Stearns, president of the University of Colorado, addressed particularly the outstanding students at honors convocation this morning. A "Baedeker" is a guidebook for travelers popular at the beginning of the 19th century.
The 20th annual honors convocation was held in Hoch auditorium before an audience of several thousand students, faculty members, and Navy men. The University band played "The Star Spangled Banner," "Heroic March" (Guy Holmes), and "Crimson and the Blue." Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced honors other than printed on the program, and offered his congratulations to all outstanding students.
"You of the present generation and we of experience in the last World War together must write the chapters of the present guidebook." President Stearns emphasized. "While we are training men and women to meet this war emergency, we must not lose sight of humanities." he warned.

ROTC Induction Not Ordered
University of Kansas Reserve Officers Training Corps has not as yet been assigned as an army specialist training unit, Colonel Briggs, in command of the Seventh District Service said this morning.
The statement was in response to queries resulting from the induction of the ROTC at Oklahoma A & M and rumors that the same action might be taken here.
If such an action were taken before the end of the semester, advanced ROTC students would be placed in active specialized service Colonel Briggs said, but as yet there were no indications that such a move is contemplated. Most of the universities that have received such orders have been land grant colleges, a class in which the University of Kansas does not fall.
Where the change is made the students are under regular army discipline and control and received monthly pay the same as any other soldier.

Japs Mass Strong Force For Australia
A strong possibility that Hitler may have put pressure upon Japan to offset his setbacks in Tunisia arose today.
General Sir Thomas Lamey, deputy Allied commander-in-chief in the southwest Pacific, announced that Japan is massing a strong force of approximately 200,000 men and a huge aerial armada northwest of Australia, possibly to launch the first stages of a long-anticipated attack upon the island continent.
In Washington, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox confirmed reports from the Pacific that the Japanese are "stepping up their air activities." The Secretary said, however, that he could not be sure whether present enemy concentrations and reinforcements were for the purpose of attack or defense.
Hilfer May Have Called on Jans
The theory that Hitler may have called upon Japan to attack in strength in an effort to divert American forces from the North African theater, where his once-vaulted Afrika Corps is being shoved steadily toward the sea, has a number of points in its favor.
In acknowledging increasing Japanese air activity, Knox cited the recent 100-plane attack against Port Moresby, New Guinea, and the 98-plane raid on Guadalcanal, both of which led to disaster for the enemy. MacArthur Cautiously Jubilant General MacArthur himself was cautiously jubilant on the Port Moresby assault, in which Allied planes destroyed 37 of the 100 attackers.
"Our fighters completely defeated the enemy," he said. "It is believed the enemy's air offensive has been blunted and his immediate plans dislocated."
Danger Still Remains
But well informed sources at United Nations headquarters in Australia emphasized the use of MacArthur's words "blunted" and "dislocated." He did not say "shattered and disposed of." In other words, an immediate threat has been removed but the larger danger still remains.
There was a steady flow of good news from the Tunisian battlefronts. Axis forces continued their unbroken retreat toward their two remaining big bases of Tunis and Bizerte.
On the Russian front Moscow reported German air raids on Kursk and Krasnovar, while Berlin told of an attack on northeast Germany, probably carried out by Russian bombers.

New Plastic Is Used For Airplane Output
New York, (ACP)—Development of a new plastic caled "thermocast" which is expected to revolutionize airplane manufacturing and increase airplane production by 50 per cent was announced here by Prof. James M. Church of Columbia university.
The plastic is hard as steel, but lighter and easier to mold. "It is a new-born baby with a future beyond our imagination today." Professor Church said.
"With thermocast, we can now begin to look forward to the new airplane made in very large sections, stamped out as a whole on large plastic forms and with the use of plastic forms and with the use of plastic punches much the same as an automobile body has been made all in one piece," he said.
Mass production of airplanes has been hampered by the fact that methods employed for mass production of automobiles were not suitable for airplane production. In automobiles steel is used, in airplanes magnesium and aluminum, and the latter metals differ from steel in casting and other properties.
Golden Gate Park Into Victory Gardens
San Francisco, (INS)—In a land rush reminiscent of frontier days. San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Park was staked on yesterday into 250 victory garden plots, awarded by the park commission to applicants on the first come, first served basis.
Whole families joined in the rush and, altogether, more than 600 persons poured into the park eager to get to work planting vegetable seeds. Many late applicants were turned away because no more soil was available.
STEARNS PLANS--your hopes high, and your spirits humble," was President Stears' advice. "Wisdom is knowledge plus experience, is not enough," be explained, "because with all thy wisdom, understanding is needed."
(continued from page one) of wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice, he urged college students to meet the obligation of filling the "travel guide" with concepts and directions worthy of the truly educated man. He asked educators not to forget the fundamental, humane, American traditions in their training of students now. "Think Straight: Hope High"
"Keep your thinking straight,
He suggested that everyone should practice independent thought along with hearing lecture material, but it is important to view problems, not from a selfish viewpoint only, but to recognize universal justice, too.
Army of Occupation Has Duties
"Responsibilities of the army of occupation will be the maintenance of order, the control and distribution of food and medical supplies, the restoration of transportation and communication, and the rebuilding of the world," asserted President Stearns. "Political and ethic decisions should come later," he believed, "to allow time to forget hatred, to let power minimize so that strong nations cannot take advantage of weaker ones, and to allow freedom of thought to express itself."

For the first time a definite study of the effect of cooking dehydrating, canning upon pork and other meats was made, and its general result is that all these treatments leave plenty of nutritive value in the meats. Rats fed roasted, fried, canned or dehydrated pork grew almost as well as those fed raw pork.
This however does not take into account some loss of certain vitamins, such as nicotinic acid, present in pork and other meats due to

Canning, after all its operations, results in relatively moderate losses of vitamin B-1 in vegetables, according to a report by Drs. L. E.
"Dehydrated pork proteins were somewhat better utilized for growth by rats than roasted, fried or canned when quantities of each insufficient to permit maximum growth were fed. This gives us assurance that the armed forces and lend-lease recipients who are using dehydrated pork are getting the greatest possible protein food value that can be supplied to them."

WERE SOLD ON THE 12-FOOT BASKET
The longer we ponder over the subject of the 12-foot basket for collegiate basketball games, the more we are convinced of its value and necessity.
Old timers can still recall when the game of basketball was a game of skill in which the little man could hold his own against taller players. As a matter of fact, ten years ago, when we were still in grade school, tall men were uncommon in collegiate basketball circles. On the average, the tallest man on the best teams was about 6 feet tall. The average height of a basketball team was about 5 feet 10 inches.
*****
HEIGHTH GOES UP AN INCH A YEAR
In ten years the average height of members of the first five of first rate college teams has increased nearly an inch a year. Players 6 feet 10 inches tall are no longer uncommon on the basketball court. Bob Kurland, Oklahoma A & M's 17-year old freshman has raised the ceiling on tall players to 7 feet—and he's still growing.
Yet, despite this continued increase in height of players, the basketball rules committee has neglected to compensate for this height increase by increasing the height of the basket above the court. But that change over to a 12-foot basket will have to come sometime in the future before players get so tall that they can just place the ball in the basket.
***
TALL MEN WILL KEEP AN ADVANTAGE
A 12-foot basket, we grant, will take some of the premium value off the tall men who can tip in shots missed by their teammates. But dunking is not basketball. However, these tall men will retain several advantages over their less gifted opponents. They will still be able to shoot passes or to receive passes from their teammates without much danger from their opponents.
Another advantage that they will have is that of being able to shoot field goals over the heads of their opponents. Jayhawker fans still recall the game in which Charlie Black sank five straight field goals out on the court despite the presence of several guards. All he did was to extend his arms straight over his head, placing the ball out of reach of his smaller opponents, and then, with a flip of his hands, sink a field goal with uncanny skill.
Sue McCluggage Strikes Out 12
Striking out twelve opponents in five innings, Roberta Sue McCluggage sparked Gamma Phi Beta in edging out Watkins Hall 3-2 in Gamma Phi's second victory in the women's intramural softball tournament. Lucy Lee Thompson caught for Gamma Phi.
Violet Conard who played roving short field for Watkins scored both of her team's points. Althea Shuss, pitcher, and Alice Goff, catcher, made up the Watkins Hall battery.
IND forfeited to IWW because of lack of a sufficient number of players. When a game is forfeited, the team forfeiting receives no points, and their opponents are given two.
Matches Must Be Played Soon
All three round singles in men's horseshoes, tennis, and handball must be played by Thursday evening, Henry Chenk, director of men's intramurals, announced today.
The second round in the women's tennis doubles tournament must be played off by Saturday, Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, said today.
All first round matches not played off by last Saturday were scratched from the tournament.

Newark, N.J., (INS)—The war has hit no club in the major leagues any harder than Tom Yawkey's gold-plated Red Sox.
The Boston Red Sox . . . Gold-Plated Sox Have Been Hard Hit By War
By JOE CASHMAN
Among the players Manager Joe Cronin had at Sarasota, Fla., last spring and hasn't at Tufts College, Medford, Mass.,
CARL'S GOOD CLOTHES
Among the players Manager J Fla., last spring and hasn't at T this spring are Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Dom DiMaggio, Lou Finney, Bill Butland and Charlie Wagner.
Williams was the Fenway flock's regular left-fielder. He was the 1942 American League leader in batting, in fashioning home runs, in knocking in runs and in scoring runs; one of the few players ever to walk off with the four-cornered crown.
In case that doesn't give you a clear idea of the extent of the hose losses, listen.
Williams Led In Batting
Johnny Pesky was the regular shortstop. He was the runner-up for the league batting championship and regarded by many as the rookie of the year.
Dom DiMaggio was the regular centerfielder. He was rated the best lead-off hitter in the loop. If there was a greater defensive centerfielder, it was only his illustrious older brother, Yankee Joe DiMag, now in the U S Army.
Lou Finney was the Sox regular rightfielder. If he wasn't brilliant, he was ever steady in the difficult sun garden.
Wagner and Butland were among the starting pitchers who worked in turn. Wagner turned in fourteen decisions. Butland had an 8-1 card at the finish.
In short, the Red Sox have lost the League's two leading stickers of a year back. They've lost their entire 1942 outfield. They've lost their infield spark plug. They've lost two
With these aforementioned star-spangled performers, the back bay entry ran second, for the fourth time in five years, to a pennant-winning New York Yankee machine.
Without sailors Williams, Pesky, DiMaggio and Wagner, soldier Butland and farmer Finney, the Red Sox this year will, in the words of skipper Cronin, "Do the best we can."
Maybe the Sox will again finish on the heels of the Yankees, but that's very improbable in the event the Yanks manage to cop the flag again.
The Red Sox don't shape up as serious 1943 pennant contenders; not on paper, at least.
Sox Will Have Fair Pitching
They'll have fair pitching even with Butland and Wagner missing. Returning are 'Tex' Hughson, 22-game winner last season, Dick Newsome, Joe Dobson, Ken 'lefty' Chase, Yank Terry, Tom 'lefty' Judd, Mike Ryba, and Mace Brown. Coming up for trials, carrying better than average records out of class AA, are Louis Lucir from Louisville and Al 'Leis' Olsen and Norman Brown, both from San Diego.
They'll be pretty well set in the infield with Tony Lupien again on first, Bobby Doerr back to play second, Jim Tabor remaining on third and E'die Lake, a highly touted rookie from the Cards' farm at Sacramento, coming in to battle

Lulli's Collection Of Jewelry Shown
More than thirty pieces of that made by the Andean Inca the display which will be set main lounge of the Memorial U American day. The jewelry, t the display, were all collected by Antonio Lulli, College senior, who is a native of Lima Peru.
Pieces of jewelry hand-made by present day descendants of Incas who live in little villages back in the Andes, were picked up by Lulli on tours into the mountains. Other articles he bought in towns along the coast. These articles have also been displayed in Chicago, New York, and at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill.
Although first made so many centuries ago, the same patterns are being used for modern jewelry. One bracelet is of polished bone, decorated with silver symbols of the sun, the main god of the Incas. The silver itself is ornamented with bright reds and blues.
A rug, which will be displayed, pictures the last of the Incas offering rooms full of gold and silver to his conqueror, Francisco Pizarro, in return for his life. Pizarro took the gold and silver, but also the man's life.
The owner of the articles on display, Antonio Lulli, is in our country to be trained for diplomatic service, and is president of the Pan-American League of the University. This exhibition is under the auspices of the Student Union Activities Board.

But the least said about the rest of the club at the moment, the better. The Sox need hitting.
He has Pete Fox for right field. Your guess today is as good as his as to who, if anybody, he has who play center and left in big league style.
As for the catching, it was below par last year, when taken care of by Johnny Peacock and Bill Conroy. The same two figure to do the bulk of the receiving again unless Roy Parte, a youngster from the Portsmouth, Va., club and Herb Bremer, a Cardinal cast-off from Little Rock, are better than their minor league records indicate.
So, to sum it all up, it appears as though the 1943 Red Sox will do well if they escape finishing in the second division.

Allen Crafton, professor of speech, dressed in his army uniform of the first World War, sang "Over There" and "Wake Up America." Judging from the applause, the numbers struck responsive chords in almost everyone present.
The band, featuring a baritone solo by David Lawson and a trombone solo by Danny Bachmann, played "Roses Of Picard."

Weinberger's "Czech Rhapsody" provided a fitting climax for the concert. The hearty, vigorous spirit was projected by the band with easy assurance.
New York, (INS)—"Not only freedom of the press but freedom of speech of all the people is involved in the proposed attempt to isolate delegates from the press from the United Nations food conference," former Governor Alf M. Landon of Kansas asserted today.
As an encore, the band gave a stirring rendition of "Anchors A- weigh."
One of the "elders" of the Republican party, and its presidential candidate in 1936, Landon declared:
"The making of America has been the fact that a reporter on the "Bingville Bugle" could step up to any public man of any size and say 'you said so and so . . . What do you mean?"
"The average man in the street doesn't realize it, but the reporters are talking for him, asking questions for him, trying to get the truth beyond the glittering generalities and the high-sounding platitudes, for him. When the average man in the street thinks of 'freedom of the press' he thinks of the big newspapers, but it's his freedom of speech that is involved."

Occupational Sterility Is Just Rumor, Says Doctor
Washington, D.C., (ACP) The nation's men and women war plant welders have been assured they can go on welding without fear of suffering occupational sterility.
Ocer's
THROUGH TO 100 OUTSIDE
This is science's answer to rumors, said to have originated in San Francisco, that voltages which produce welding arcs may destroy a welder's fertility.
"Welding arcs are produced at low voltages such as 25 to 50. Such voltages cannot produce X-rays and the arcs have no effect whatever on either men or women.
It came from Dr. Philip Drinker of Harvard university, chief health consultant for the maritime commission and navy department, with a notation from the maritime commission that it was designed to "reassure over 100,000 welders in shipyards and factories."
Dr. Drinker gave this explanation: "Sterility in both men and women can be produced by X-rays, a scientific fact which is well known to modern medicine and surgery. The machines which produce X-rays for sterilizing operate at very high voltage, such as 200,000 and more.
"Welding arcs give off invisible ultra-violet light which can produce burns, much like sunburn, and can cause severe eye damage when proper goggles or shields are not used. In addition, the light from the arc is intensely bright, like the sun, and will injure one's eyes exactly as looking directly at the sun

Teacher Shortage May Lower Standards Of Education If War Continues Demand
Oklahoma board of education has lowered the requirements for teaching certificates recently in order to meet the emergency of the teacher shortage which steadily grows more serious as war drains the school houses of young draft-age instructors. Not only is the neighboring state affected by this problem, but other states, including Kansas, are equally facing the possibility of having to take such measures.
The small rural schools seem to be the ones suffering the most from this war casualty. In many high schools where the teacher shortage has been felt, classes have been combined, the courses have been altered, and teachers have taken on heavier duty in order to keep the standards of education at their none-too-high level. In the rural schools, however, where the attraction to the teachers remaining is none too strong and where the salary scale is low frequently through necessity, it is hard to add work to a teacher's schedule; and an already too thin course of education begins to crumble when it is weakened by further alteration.
It is a tragic thing for education to have to be slighted in any way during wartime. The long process that is necessary to bring it back to a normal level is slow and discouraging. In the post-war period, too many things that need immediate attention are allowed to crowd the needs of education to one side. States as well as the federal government keep their minds busy with ideas on reconstruction, production, ways to avoid depression, and plans of continued peace. These things are, no doubt, of utmost importance; and it is because of their newness and importance that too often such an established system as that of education is left to take care of itself.
It can not be denied that something is necessary to keep these small schools going, and if it is necessary to lower the standards of teachers to do so, then that measure must be taken. In many sections of the country, consolidated schools might be the answer to the situation. Teachers having only a few pupils might be relieved to go to other teaching positions if their students were sent to a school combining other rural school students. With the transportation problem and the difficulty of providing and supplying buildings adequate for such a plan, however, this system too has its obstacles.
At this time it seems that more care than ever should be taken on the part of teachers and school boards to see that students will be assured that they are being given the correct training, and those persons who have had the advantages of education should take the responsibility to see that such an opportunity is kept available to others and that the education standard will become stronger instead of weaker in the future.
Nation Faces Inflation Threat Unless People Demand Action
Unless the people in this country — the "masses" of the people — wake up to the serious threat of inflation hanging over their heads and take some immediate action toward stopping it, run-away dollars are soon going to reach the point of hindering our war effort seriously.
Just Wondering
If the University Concert band doesn't deserve a lot of credit for giving a concert this spring even though many of its members have been called to service.
Ever since the outbreak of war in Europe prices and wages have been on the increase. For a while this increase was sought and furthered by government because it proved helpful to our defense effort and to the morals of the people. The object was to let prices and wages rise just so long as the results were good and then stop the increase. A partial brake was applied in 1940 when price ceilings were first put on certain commodities, and such ceilings have since been extended. This slowed the rise, but now when a total stop is needed, an adequate check has not been found.
The curtailment of civilian goods sent prices soaring as more and more money poured into the pockets of the people. Rationing, increased taxes, price controls, and credit restrictions have all aided in combating inflation, but still prices rise. If they are not checked the United States is going to face inflation of the same variety that faced Germany after the last war—and the U.S. will face the same disastrous results.
This year there will be a several billion dollar gap between the purchasing power of the American people and the amount of goods they can buy. All of the existing measures to head off inflation are inadequate at present to close this gap. The people of the country must see that inflation can injure only themselves, personally and severally, and they must show that they are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to head it off.
These sacrifices must be made before rising prices reach a point where they cannot be stopped. Unless the people elect to do it voluntarily, a system of forced savings or one of rationed expenditures may become necessary. It is up to the people to keep these dollars off of the market and thus prevent inflation, or select one of two alternatives—have the government force them to do it, or let the war effort go to rot while they have a short-lived good time on their extra dollars.M.B.

This Is War
When the going's getting tough,
And this life is getting rough
Till it grinds your nerves to slivers raw and sore,
When you feel that you can't stand it
Even though your life demand it,
Keep your upper lip still stiff; this is war.
When you can't get meat or butter
And your pocket book's a-flutter
Even though your pay check keeps on getting more,
When there's scarce a man in sight
And your date looks like a sight,
Grit your teeth and make it last you; this is war.
When they shower you with blanks
To be filled with many thanks
And they ask you: please don't do this any more,
When you have no car or shoes,
Heads you win and tails you lose,
You will have to shrug your shoulders; this is war.
I have heard that phrase repeated
And repeated till its pleated
With the wear, and makes me weary to the core.
I can bear that phrase no longer.
Wait until my heart grows stronger!
There! We must accept the sorrow; this is war.
Hill Men To Be Rationed Take Your Pick
BY JEAN JONES
Will men be rationed by way of the coupon book, or will they be auctioned off weekly to the highest bidder with dating rights not to exceed one weekend?
With the general exodus of the "spice of life" from the limestone hills of Mt. Oread, the coeds left to hold down the fort will have to polish up their in-
With the general exodus of stone hills of Mt. Oread, the c will have to polish up their ingenuities or spend many a quiet evening at home. Since the Utopia of the three-to-one ratio has died a violent death, and the women will have to stand in line for the few remaining men, the old Date bureau might be revived to take charge of the rationing.
Eight years ago, a phantom benefactor of blushing beauties and bashful beaus started a Date bureau. This charitable soul agreed to keep the thing going only as long as his identity was kept secret.
Made Dates For Less Fortunates
The main purpose of the institution was to arrange dates for the less fortunate souls who for some reason or other didn't "get around." Men and women alike were invited to mail in applications. Since the existence of the bureau depended on its own revenues, a charge of one dime was made for registration. The first cost entitled the applicant to one date and the privilege of getting his name "on the books." Each additional date cost a dime.
A prospective registrant was asked to state his name, age, address, height and weight, classification in school, and his dancing ability. The fact that even in those days the car sometimes made the man is evident in that every applicant was asked to state the make and model of his automobile, "if one was available."
According to regulations, a photograph and the time and day desired for the date had to be included in the application. Usually, the student was satisfied with surprise
packages; but for an additional 25 cents the bureau promised to do its part to promote dates with specified individuals. As soon as the date was arranged, the applicant was notified by telephone. If he found it more convenient to find out the gory details by mail, he could get this special service by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelop to the bureau.
Reputation Spread Abroad
The story of the Date bureau spread throughout the United States. A rancher in Montana wrote the bureau that he had read about the enterprise in a Helena, Mont., paper, and requested he be sent the names of three University coeds with whom he could correspond.
The buerau was so successful that, despite its repeated efforts to close, the numerous requests from students kept it open. The fateful end came, however, when the local paper unveiled the mysterious situation and loudly acclaimed Leo Gottlieb, an Independence, Kansas, boy, the miracle man. Gottlieb made good his threat to dissolve the business as soon as his identity became known.
Senior ROTC's Fingerprinted
Seniors in the advanced course of the military science department who will graduate May 12 were fingerprinted today. The identification will be used when they report to special service schools soon after graduation for a three-month training course at the completion of which they will be commissioned as second lieutenants.

Honor Roll On Hospital Who Is Rhazes?
By DALE ROBINSON
Who is Rhazes?
Hundreds of University students pass by Watkins hospital every day. Has any of them ever wondered what those men did to gain fame whose names are graven on the front of the hospital?
The most uncommon and arresting name is Rhazes. An Arabic physician born in 923 A.D., he was the first man to write
a book on measles and small-pox. He did other things for medical science but that was his most notable achievement. Hippocrates Was Father of Medicine
Galen? "The most celebrated of ancient medical writers," according to one authority, was Claudius Gallen, Greek physician born about 130 A.D. An anatomist, he studied and established a nomenclature for the bone structure of the human body which is still used.
Another Greek, Hippocrates, is often termed "the father of medicine." Born to a family of priest-physicians, he was the first to cast aside superstition and base the practice of medicine on the principles of inductive philosophy.
One Canadian Makes The List
The only citizen of the United States whose name appears on the hospital front is C. W. Long, a Georgia doctor of the nineteenth century. He claimed to have been the first user of ether as an anesthetic during an operation.
Another American is the only one of the ten men who lived during this century. Sir William Osler, a Canadian, taught medicine in the United States. He did brilliant research on diseases of the spleen and blood, infections of the heart, and malaria.
Almost everyone has heard of Louis Pasteur, the French chemist who developed a treatment for the rabies which sometimes follow dog bite, and who also perfected the method of rendering raw milk free of pathogenic (disease-producing) bacteria. He discovered the fermentation process by which wine and similar alcohols are created His name is comm
and similar alcohols are created. His name is commemorated in the Pasteur Institute of Paris, one of the world's greatest organizations for scientific research.
The name of a commercial antiseptic has been derived from that of Joseph Lister, an English surgeon who was the first doctor to use antiseptics to speed the healing of incisions.
Amputation Aided By Pare
William Harvey, an Englishman, discovered the circulation of the blood. He also formulated the principle that "all animals, and man himself, are produced from eggs." His genius was shown when his theory was proved true in 1827, almost 200 years after his death.
Ambroise Pare was a French surgeon whose most memorable service was to get general adoption of the use of the ligature for large arteries, a method of controlling hemorrhage which made possible amputation on a large scale. He lived in the sixteenth century.
Edward Jenner, who died in 1823,
warned the discoverer of vaccination
he rendered persons immune to smallpox, a widespread and ravaging disease of that time, by inculcating them with cowpox bacteria, less virulent organisms than smallpox.

Washington, (INS)—High tribute was paid in official Washington today to Daniel C. Roper, former secretary of commerce who died Monday night after a four-month illness.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull sent a telegram to Roper's widow expressing the "heartfelt sympathy" of himself and Mrs. Hull on the passing of "your distinguished husband who has been my friend for more than 30 years."
On the senate floor Sen. Barkley (D) Ky., majority leader of the upper house, declared:
"If ever the title of 'Christian statesman' could be bestowed on a man, Daniel C. Roper was that man."
Meanwhile, funeral services for the commerce secretary of President Roosevelt's first cabinet, were set for Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. at the Mount Vernon place Methodist church in Washington.
No Plans Made for Guest Day
H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division, said he saw no possibility of having an interscholastic guest day. No plans are being made for that event this year.
Treasury Opens Greatest Drive For War Loans
Washington, (INS)—The treasury opened its greatest war loan drive expecting to raise $13,000,000,-000 in the next 18 days.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau will give the official push to the campaign for a "second war loan" tonight when he speaks from Carnegie Hall in New York, asking Americans to subscribe this huge sum.
Every newspaper in the country, including labor journals and foreign language papers, started a splurge of advertising that the treasury expects to push subscriptions "even beyond" the tremendous quota of $13,000,000,000.
With mounting casualty figures putting Americans in a mood to support total war, treasury's keynote of the campaign is:
War feeling Is High
"They give their lives. . . you lend your money."
The treasury said that $8,000,000,-000 of the $13,000,000,000 must come from other than banking sources or largely from the pockets of the American people.
"No barker ever had a more important cough medicine—a tonic that would remedy more ills than the bonds Uncle Sam will paddle this month," the treasury said.
Uucle Sam Will Peddle
"For every surplus dollar in an American pocket today, the government has a stamp or a bond to take its place. Such quantities of bonds must go that it will take 300,000 volunteer workers to handle the trade."
American radios, newspapers, magazines, all of American that talks will burst with colorful ads, the treasury said, "until freedom rings."

Cross' Is Complete ... Washington Dedicates Jefferson Memorial
Washington, (INS)—Led by President Roosevelt, the nation's capital today paused briefly in its war work to dedicate the newly-completed $3,000,000 Jefferson Memorial on the 200th anniversary of the birth of the nation's third president.
The chief executive made a "brief" address in connection with the dedicatory exercises.
The original draft of the Declaration of Independence, authored by Jefferson and now in the library of Congress, will be brought to the memorial and placed on exhibition under a special armed guard during the ceremonies.
The glistening marble structure on the shores of the Potomac tidal basin directly across the mall from the White House, was dedicated in the presence of more than 5,000 official guests, including members of Congress, the Supreme Court, cabinet members, ranking diplomats of foreign countries, members of patriotic and state societies, and living descendants of the famed Virginian. Structure Is Part of 'Cross'
The architectural design of the memorial is an adaptation of the circular Pantheon type of building used extensively in Roman construction and considered by Jefferson to be the most graceful type of building. That Jefferson himself was partial to this type of structure, is evidenced by his plans for the University of Virginia, which centered around such a building.
The structure itself took four and a half years to build, and is situated on the banks of the Potomac river to complete a huge cross, with the Washington Monument in the middle, the Lincoln Memorial at the top, the Capitol at the bottom and the White House forming the other extremity. Funds for its construction were appropriated by congress.
The structure, of Vermont and Georgia marble, is 165 feet in diameter and 103 feet high. In its center is a standing, heroic-sized statue of Jefferson done by the sculptor Rudolph Evans, from a description of the third president written by a contemporary biographer.

Antonio Lulli, president of the Pan-American league, announces that the next-to-the-last meeting of the league will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Pine room of the Union building.
A discussion will continue concerning the questions about pan-American post-war problems. Prof. H. B. Chubb, of the political science department, and Prof. W. W. Davis, of the history department, will be present to lead the discussion.
In the symposium of questions, these will be answered:
Has the League of Nations done any valuable work? What were some of the reasons why we won the last war and did not win the peace? When the war is over, who shall be invited to the peace table? Are Germany and Japan to be invited?
President Lulli invites the student body at large to attend this meeting, especially the members of the International Relations council.

Astronomer Predicts Sunspots In 1948
The period, according to Dr. Gleissberg's report, will produce a marked hindrance on long distance radio, and statis will be conspicuous. Magnetic disturbances will occur, causing difficulty for navigators; the northern lights will be frequent and luminous and electrical disturbances will disrupt power transmission lines and telephone connections.
In modern time sun spots occurred in 1916, 1917 and 1937 and were low in 1922 and 1925.

Council Ready To Disclose Election Plans
"Final plans for the coming election of representatives to the new All-Student Council will be ready for publication tomorrow," said Vernon McKale, MSC president this noon. MSC and WSGA are meeting today to complete those plans, McKale said.
The election bill, which contains rules for apportionment of representatives, balloting, political parties, electioneering, and so on, was passed at the joint meeting of the two Councils Tuesday night with the provision that a section, ruling the 10 organization representatives from having a vote on political matters, be presented to the student body at the coming election in the form of an amendment to the new All-Student Constitution.
This amendment, which will be printed at the bottom of all election ballots for students to vote on, reads:
"Group members on the All-Student Council shall vote on all issues except those on which an objection of 25 per cent of the elected representatives is voiced. They shall, however, possess all other rights and

Negro Blood Designated --Red Cross
Giving an explanation of the above policy to the Kansan, Judge Frank R. Gray, chairman of the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross, repeated information received by him from the St. Louis headquarters in charge of this district. He said that this is not a policy of the Red Cross but that the organization acts only as intermediary between blood donors and the army and navy.
Army, navy, and Red Cross policy requires that blood from Negro donors be so designated, according to a telegram from B. Ganby Robinson, Washington, D.C., medical doctor of the American Red Cross, received by the University Daily Kansan yesterday.
The question was raised on the campus last week when the mobile blood unit was taking donations in Lawrence. In order to clarify the question for its readers, the Kansan wired to National Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C. The following answer was received: "It is policy of the army navy and Red Cross that blood from Negro donors he so designated."
These orders do not come only from the army and navy medical staffs, Judge Gray explained, but are backed by the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy who are carrying out requests of the men in service. It seems that white men in the army and navy prefer white blood, he said.
Silver Collection Adds Two English Tablespoon*
After the blood has been collected, Judge Gray said, it is turned over to the army and navy. The Red Cross does the collecting according to the instructions given by the government.
Two English tablespoons have recently been added to the silver collection in Spooner Thayer museum. The spoons are a gift of Mrs. Sarah D. T. Robinson.
The collection which was begun by Mrs. J. S. Barrow, of Napa, Calif., consists of American, English, Italian, and French silver.

Marine Corps Also Must Take Test
Forty new naval aviation cadets arrived today at the University of Kansas for their preliminary flight and ground school taining, Kenneth Razak, coordinator of the C. A. A. War Training program at the University, announced. The cadets, who have been taking their preparatory training at William Jewell College, Liberty, Mo., arrived at 11:05 on the Union Pacific and marched up Massachusetts Avenue on their way to the Tau Kappa Epsilon house where they will be quartered.
The men, who will remain here eight weeks, will be given 240 hours of ground school training, and 30 to 40 hours of flight training. Razak is director of this program which is now an integral part of naval flight training procedure.
The written test of the qualifying examination for all men enlisted in Class V-1 (accredited college program), U.S. Naval Reserve who will have completed four or more semesters (or six or more quarters) of their college course on July 1, 1943, is to be given on Tuesday, April 20, in 305 Bailey laboratories, Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, coordinator of military information
A new class of cadets will be received every eight weeks, Razak explained. Forty are already in training here, so that the University will have constantly a group of eighty navy cadets in flight training.
The training is given under the direction of the school of engineering and architecture in which the cadets are given their ground school training.
From here, the men go to naval pre-flight training centers.

The classes will be held in the morning, 8:30 to 12:30, broken in the middle of the morning by a short
(continued to page five)
for students at the University, announced today.
The examinations will require two sessions, one beginning at 9 a.m. and the other at 2 p.m. Dr. A. H. Turney, of the School of Education, will be in charge of the examination. Premedical and pre-dental students may be excused from the tests, if their credentials and departmental standing is in order. However, such students are being urged by the Navy Department to take the tests in order that they may qualify for other duty if not selected for medical or dental training.
Marine Corps To Take Exam
Doctor Woodruff announced also that men enlisted in Class III(d) U. S. Marine Corps, who are in their freshman and sophomore college years as of the date the examination is given, must take the tests at the same time as the V-1 enlistees. This test is for the purpose of qualifying them for participation in the college training program to be inaugurated about July 1.
The test for the marines will be the same as that given to class V-1 men except that certain parts of the prescribed test will not be required to be taken by the marine reservists. However, any marine reservists desiring as a matter of interest to take those parts of the test not required may do so with the understanding that the scores made on those parts will not in any way militate against them, but might be of value as the basis for estimate of aptitude for certain courses of study.
Doctor Woodruff has asked all V-1 students and marine reservists who plan to take the tests to see him at once at the Registrar's office.

Davis Praises Press Radio Correspondents
Washington, (INS)Elmer Davis, director of war information today paid tribute to the bravery and gallantry of the nation's 400 press and radio correspondents actively covering the war, asserting, that they are providing the American people at the risk of their lives with frank and complete information.
Since Pearl Harbor, more than 600 newspaper writers, radio commentators, and motion picture and still cameramen have been accredited by the military authorities to the several theaters of military operations, ashore and afloat. Of these, about 400 are actively covering the news on the war fronts at all times.
"Their service is one to whi will owe even more before we have achieved a victory based in part on the understanding they give to us," Davis said.
"The gallantry of these reporters and photographers is akin to that of our fighting men, but it is also a thing apart. For they don't fight—and they can't fight back when, as happens so often, their own lives are jeopardized."
Davis recalled that 14 correspondents "have died in performance of their duty;" that countless others have been injured, and that some interned by the Japanese were subjected to brutality, often placed on starvation rations, "cuffed, and exposed to calculated humiliations."
Ku Ku's Hold Party Saturday at Club

ST. LOUIS FOR THE WORLD'S SERIES
This is the season for selecting this year's major league pennant winners and the World Series champion, if the leagues finish their seasons. Since we are aware that this year's prediction is more of a guessing contest than ever, because of draft fatalities and competition from high salaried war jobs, we are going out on a limb and pick the World Series to be held in St. Louis—a city series between the Cardinals and the Browns.
THE CARDINALS IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE
With the major league opening a little over a week away, the champion Cardinals, piloted by Billy Southworth, look like a cinch to take the National League a dozen games. They have the smoothest functioning early season infield in either league; their outfield and their battery staff, backed by brothers Morton and Walker Cooper, is the best in either league. Manager Southworth has practically as good a team to open the season with as he had last fall when his Cardinals took the New York Yankees in four out of five World Series games. We also choose the Cardinals to repeat in the World Series.
THE BROWNS IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE
In the American League we chose the Brownns because they, like the Cardinals, haven't suffered from the depletion of their ranks as much as have other teams. We can't see the Yankees finishing better than second unless Manager Joe McCarthy performs a miracle in transforming a new team into a well-coordinated championship unit. Losing three-fourths of his infield, the best part of his outfield, and he cream of his pitching staff, Manager McCarthy would probably be the last man to choose his Yankees to finish on top as has ben their perennial habit. (P. S. We really chose the Brownns just because we want to see a World Series in St. Louis.)
JUST WONDERING
We wonder why Creighton's Ed Beisser, Wyoming's Milo Komenich, and St. Johns' Harry Boykoff weren't placed on the Helms Foundation's All-American basketball squad. Could it be that the Foundation chooses its All-American candidates more on their ability to play the game rather than on their height? We also wonder why Wisconsin's Johnny Kotz didn't make the team?

Games scheduled for play today were: Rock Chalk Co-op vs. Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta vs. Beta Theta Pi "B," Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs. Sigma Nu, and Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. John Moore Co-op.
Theta Pi "B" — Delta Upsilon game postponed from last week, will be played next Wednesday afternoon.
With assistant professor Calvin VanderWerf pitching, Alpha Chi Sigma defeated Phi Delta Theta, 12 to 8, last night in a game that had been postponed from last week. VanderWerf's "Chem Kids" are one of the three intramural teams remaining undefeated after three games of softball competition. The Beta Theta "B" "B" — Delta Uweloo
Tuesday's Games
In Tuesday's softball games, Phil Kappa Piu trounced Delta Tau Delta 21 to 5; Theta Tau defeated John Moore Co-op, 13 to 3; Sigma Nuedged out Triangle, 16 to 14; and Beta Theta Piu defeated Alpha Tau Omega, 13 to 1.
In a big second inning, Phi Kappa Psi insured their victory over Delta Tau Delta by scoring 13 of their 21 runs in what proved to be the
"graveyard shift" for the Delts. Four of the five Delt runs came in the third inning, of the five-inning game.
Miles Acel pitched Theta Tau to a five-hitting win over John Moore Co-op by a score of 13-8. The Theta Tau runs were distributed equally in the first four innings while their opponents' runs were confined to the second innings.
Allowing the ATO's only one run, in the second inning, Beta Theta Pi had an easy time after scoring six runs in the first inning. The ATO run came when John Anderson singled and was knocked in by Joe Holt. After the first, the Beta's scored a run in every inning until the fifth when they added four more.
In a close game with the score

Freedom From Want Is A Cornerstone Of Peace That Must Come from America
The foundations have been laid for the peace, four cornerstones upon which to build a structure unequaled in the history of man. The cornerstones are the four freedoms, and one of the freedoms is freedom from want.
Cynics may sneer: "The poor we shall always have with us." But such has never been the attitude of America and Americans. America has been the land of plenty, the land of technological developments, where engineers have built dams and skyscrapers, tunneled under mountains and rivers, harnessed the forces of nature to our chariots. Here is where the realization of the ideal of freedom from want must come, from here we must take it to the world.
It will not be simple seeing that the whole world is fed and clothed and kept warm and well. It will not be an easy thing, but Americans have never asked for the easy things. It will mean work, hard work, not for oneself or ones country but for an ideal. In reality it will be bread cast upon the water, for when the world has plenty we have plenty, when the world gets sick, we too will soon succumb.
That it has never been cannot be argued. America is where new things are born. And it cannot be suppressed. Hundreds of millions of people believe in it, the little people, the starving people. It will rise and go on and on, carried by a million tiny hands, demanded by a hundred million tiny voices. But together they will not be tiny, together they will not be unheard, together they will ring out across the land, singing, shouting, demanding freedom, freedom from want.
We can do it. We are the only ones who can. We, in the land of plenty, surrounded by our factories, untouched by war, must do it if it is to be done. And it must be done, if ever war is to end.
We can do it. Like the army air corps: "The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer"—J.G.
Public Asks Davis To Continue Giving Truth on War Actions
Open letter to Elmer Davis, director of the Office of War Information:
Dear Mr. Davis,
Perhaps no voice on the radio is better known than yours. Undoubtedly the public hears no voice with more confidence of the truth behind the statements made. For many years you have inspired the people to believe in you and give you their trust.
The President has now appointed you to handle one of the most difficult jobs of the war that of the head of the Office of War Information. Through your office comes all the news of the battlefronts, who is winning and how much. You regulate the scope and the authenticity of the news.
Your appointment was received with enthusiasm by the Congress as well as the people of the country. You have given the public the feeling that one czar, at least, is a common person who understands the dilemmas of the man on the street during a war.
Your small town background may have been a basis for your early popularity, but certainly
Just Wondering
--the common sense that you display in your commentating and reporting of news is the primary cause. To put it another way, the trust of the American people in you proves optimistically that they realize the importance of common sense.
If there is really any need to accept applications for a dance manager for next year?
At the beginning, your job was especially difficult. The O.W.I. was a combination of four agencies, MacLeish's Office of Facts and Figures, Lowell Mellett's Office of Government Reports, Robert Horton's information service for the Office of Emergency Management, and part of Colonel William J. Donovan's Office of Coordinator of Information. You took over 3,000 employees and many unsolved problems of policy and procedure. The result has been satisfactory from the public's standpoint.
Naturally, persons realize that much of the news you want to report is necessarily impossible to give out. The American public has been used to free speech too long. They know this, and they want to be as patient as possible.
At the present time you are fighting for the right of the press to cover the coming food conference among Allied nations. Here again you are proving that you are interested in bringing American people the truth and all the information that it is possible to print.
The only thing asked of you in the future, Mr. Davis, is that you continue to bring the public the truth in as near a complete manner as advisable. Keep Americans going at an even keel by informing them on all matters.
Don't let us down!—B.L.P.
The Tokyo radio says the recent talks between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini have solved the whole war problem. No doubt, Mussolini was the "silent partner."

An emergency radio unit is rushed to each end of the break and connected to the undamaged part of the line. In a few minutes, a temporary radio bridge has been set up and telephone traffic is re-established.
Being prepared for emergencies is part of the daily job of Bell System people—part of the tremendous task of maintaining the lines of communication on the home front.

OPA Bans Auction Of Rationed Food
Chicago, (INS)—Residents of the fashionable north shore community of Glencoe surveyed such bargains as three pairs of nylon hose for $11,-000 and a sack of dog food for $5,000, their lone disappointment being that the OPA had stepped in to stop the sale of rationed foods.
What they would have paid for an Easter ham, canned salmon or other delicacies one can only guess.
The orgy of buying was staged at an auction in the Glencoe theater, the articles being paid for in war bond purchases after the 1,000 or more in attendance had paid their admission by buying $2 in war stamps. Reserved seats were sold only to those who would guarantee a minimum bid of $500.
Various food items had been contributed by grocers, but before the bidding started representatives of the Office of Price Administration arrived to serve notice that rationed foods could be bought only by the surrender of ration coupons.
Signal Trainees To Be Here April 29
The second class of signal corps trainees will begin a six-month course offered jointly by the department of physics and electrical engineering April 29, according to J. D. Stranathan, chairman of the department of physics.
The number of students in the class who will be sent here by the Aircraft Radio Laboratory, a unit of the U. S. Signal Corps, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, is not known by the University officials but Dr. Stranathan believes approximately 60 students will arrive.
After the students have finished the course they will be sent to Wright Field to work on highly technical radio equipment.

British Bombers Carry Out Raid
In Washington, secretary of war Stimson reiterated that the needs of the south Pacific war zone are being kept in mind constantly and that an increasing flow of planes and other supplies will be sent to that theater of action.
Meanwhile hundreds of British bombers of the calibre MacArthur is praying for carried out the raid on Stuttgard, which promises to emerge as one of the greatest made by the RAF.
German planes struck at Britain today with minor raids on objectives in East Anglia and above the Thiems estuary.
From Tunisia came announcement that 30,000 Axis prisoners have now been taken since the Mareth line was tracked. American, British and French forces were reported advancing in all areas of that theater.
Few changes were recorded on the Russian battlefront.

Skirts in the Back Shop... University Press Hires Coed Linotype Operators
T. C. Ryther, director of the University Press and fire warden, can now look for incendiaries with an untroubled mind. He's been losing hair and sleep over the manpower problem in the print shop, where the University Daily Kansan is printed.
But he believes he has the problem licked. For the first time in several years there is a woman linotype operator in the composing room, and more are to follow as male workers enter the services or leave school. First Woman Operator Arrives
Already at work operating at linotype is Mrs. Elizabeth Wallace, wife of Hobart Wallace, freshman med student. Mrs. Wallace's father is Donald Stanley, editor of the Peru Pointer, Peru, Neb.
Patsy Baker, Kingman, plans to enroll in the University in the fall and also intends to work in the mechanical department of the press, Mr. Ryther stated. Her father is Ralph Baker, editor of the Kingman Leader-Courier and former secretary of the Kansas Press association.
To begin working at the start of the summer session is Jean Marie Stoddard, who will graduate from high school next month. Miss Stoddard learned to operate a linotype while working for her father, H. T. Stoddard, editor of the Burlingame Leader-Courier.
More Are Coming
Of eight male students who were working in the press composing room at the start of school last fall, only two will be left by the end of school. Reserve programs have taken the rest of the men, except one who quit work to devote his full time to school.

The articles were colected by Antonio Lulli, College senior, and will be shown in honor of Pan-American day.
"This is not simply a display, but also a goodwill message from the Peruvian republic," Antonio explained. The influence of Peruvian design is shown in gay-colored summer dresses which are shown in first-rate department stores in New York and Chicago, he said.
Many of the tapestries, and pieces of jewelry on display were made by present-day descendents of the Incas and were colected by Lulli in trips to their villages in the Andes.
F. S. Hall Found Dead In Hotel

While at the University, Lt. Hall was a freshman in the School of Architecture and Engineering. He is the son of Fred S. Hall, Sr., of Lawrence.

Women Vote In Tuesday's ASC Election
...
Although women will go to the polls Tuesday to elect their seven representatives to the new All-Student Council, the two men's political parties in the MSC decided yesterday to appoint four members from each of their parties to represent the men on next year's contrary to the idea of a general election of both men and women in Council. Their decision, which is the new All-Student Constitution, was made valid by the passage of the Emergency Measure by both Councils.
The women's political party which has the majority on the Council after Tuesday's election, will have the choice of president and vice-president of the Council, the Emergency measure states. The minority party fills the office of representative-at-large.
The Emergency Measure states that "for the duration of the war the position of president and representative-at-large of the All-Student Council shall be elected by the Al-Student Council. The president shall be a woman elected by the women's party having a majority of the elected women representatives of the ASC. The representative at large shall be a woman chosen by the minority party. If either position is

Women chosen for the new cabinet and their offices are: program coordinator, Betty Lee Kals; freshman co-ordinator, Marion Hepworth; Y Call, Ruth Tippin; telescoping the News, Mignon Morten; worldly community service, Eloise Penner; post

Allies Curb Jap Invasion Of Australia
(International News Service)
Allied airmen under the personal command of Lt. Gen, George C. Kinney, fighting desperately to break up Japanese preparations for a possible invasion of Australia, rained pulverizing blows today on a Japanese convoy of six cargo ships and three war vessels seeking to reinforce the enemy garrison at Wewak, New Guinea.
Tipped off on the approach of the convoy by a reconnaissance plane, big Flying Fortresses flew into the attack and left three enemy vessels totaling 21,000 tons in sinking condition.
Furious American aerial activity in the north and south Pacific was reported today by the Navy, including eight more raids on Kiska and destruction of an 80-foot Jap boat and a power station in the Solomons.
As their comrades hammered Japanese shipping and air bases, combat veterans of the southwest Pacific air force sent a message to America emphasizing the new position taken by Gen. Douglas MacArthur that air power rather than steam power will decide the eventual outcome of the war in that arena.

Painters Quit; Want More Pay
The reason for their quitting, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, explained, was that they wanted higher pay. Some of them were already receiving the maximum "wartime bonus" pay and all were well above the minimum.
The painting staff of the building and grounds department quit last night without warning, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent. This painting staff, composed of six members, worked the year around on jobs necessary to the upkeep of the buildings.
On March 1, the Civil Service pay plan became effective, establishing a minimum and maximum wage scale for all types of workers. In April, the minimum in each classification bracket was raised 15 per cent because of the higher cost of living in war-time conditions. The maximum scale was not changed since it was already high enough. Several newspaper reports of the pay plan led workers to believe that everybody would receive a 15 per cent increase
But in this case, Mr. Nichols said, the painters were simply not willing to work for the Civil Service rates.

Art Parade Is Postponed Due To Few Entries
Because of lack of entries, the second annual art parade, sponsored by Delta Phi Delta, honorary art fraternity, has been indefinitely postponed, according to Virginia Marshall, president of Delta Phi Delta.
The art contest, which was highly successful last year, was to have been from April 11 to April 17 in the main lounge of the Memorial Union building, and awards were to be made at the formal showing, Thursday, April 15. Its purpose was to stimulate original art among the students and faculty and promote a greater interest in art on the campus as a whole, directors said.
Quite a few graduate students and faculty members submitted works in the competition, but there were very few undergraduate student entries. This was probably because the enrollment in the department of painting and design has greatly decreased this year, Virginia Marshall said, and added that many students had done good work in university classes, but none of it was eligible to enter the art parade, as contest rules stated that only work done without class supervision would be admitted.
During the exhibition, students were to have cast ballots at the main desk for their choices in each media, and awards were to be made on the basis of this voting. Also, Quality Awards were to be made on the basis of excellence and merit.
Villagers In Burma Suffer From Effects Of Poison Gas Tests
Chungking, (INS)—The Japanese are testing poison gas in Upeh province and residents of a village near Tengyang have suffered from its effects, a Chinese military spokesman declared today.
Details of the incident were not immediately available.
The spokesman predicted that the Japanese may soon become active in Burma again, basing his forecast on the fact that Lieut. Gen Kawanable recently replaced Lieut. Gen, Hita Kanjiro as commander-in-chief of Japan's expeditionary force in Burma.
Such changes in command, he asserted, have invariably preceded increased activity by the Japs.
Another indication of a possible Jap drive in Burma, the spokesman said, was their effort to rush to completion a railway linking Thailand and Burma. He added that the railway was being built by prisoners of war brought from Singapore.

Spring Haircuts
Boys Are Boys
St. Louis, (INS)—Boyish high spits, hazing and home-made haircuts raised quite a stir at the Pattonville high school in St. Louis county.
In sympathy with four boys who had been disciplined for giving crew haircuts to ounger pupils, about 75 students at the high school played truant from classes this morning.
For over an hour they demonstrated in front of the school, calling upon the superintendent M. O. Holman to excuse the boys charged with hazing in connection with the hair-cutting incident. Then they played baseball.
However, it appeared the matter would be straightened out soon.
"I think there will be an early settlement of the trouble." Supt. Holman said. "They are all really good boys, but they have let their high spirits run away with them."
Bad Welding Leads To Arrest of Eight Shipyards Workers
Washington, (INS)—The Federal Bureau of Investigation today announced the arrest of eight employees of two Baltimore shipyards on charges of sabotage.
The arrest followed the discovery of faulty welding which might have caused cargo vessels to break into when they were launched, the FBI said.
According to J. Edgar Hoover, director, the men did faulty welding on liberty ships being built in the yards. The alleged crimes were discovered only after the FBI used an ingenious X-ray device to detect the faulty welds.

St. Louis, (INS)—"The best postwar planning in which we can engage," Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago, told members of the Missouri Association for Social Welfare yesterday, "is planning to make the United States a working model of democracy."
Hutchins Says U.S. Needs New Order
"We need a new order for America," Dr. Hutchins said. "We need a new order for the world. If we do not provide it, Hitler will. Men who do not want to live like beasts must make up their minds to live like men."
Referring to the war, Dr. Hutchins said: "I cannot prescribe the methods by which we can win it. But I can suggest how we may lose it. We may lose it in the first place by relying on productivity, resourses, machines and numbers. We can win a statistical victory and suffer a military defeat."
"Certainly," Dr. Hutchins said, "to be strong we must be productive, but it does not follow that if we are productive we shall be strong. Equipment does not guarantee victory. We also must have the intelligence and character to use it with effect."

The plea for the skeleton came from the 181st army station hospital at Camp Breckenridge, Ky., where Thomas de Lease said he needed one for instruction.
McFetridge obtained the skeleton from the Odd Fellows at New London, Iowa, and said he could produce 20 more skeletons for the army if necessary.
Texas is the No.1 state in the nation in production of raw food materials, reports Dr.A.B.Cox University of Texas business research director.

Women Are Engineers In Aviation Plant
Co.
By JANE COCHRAN
Your Local Bus Service
Bethpage, N.Y., (INS)—Forty young women, full-fledged aviation engineering aides in a field that had no women and few men in pre-war days, today are holding down responsible positions in the Grumman Aircraft Engineering corporation.
The young women, in conditions after an intensive three of aviation engineering and a three-months' apprenticeship in the sprawling Bethpage plant where the Grumman torpedo bomber, the "Avenger," is made.
The young women, all college graduates, took over their positions after an intensive three-months' course in the principles ofviation engineering and a!
These girls now are doing drafting, lofting, stress analysis, technical writing, tabulating flight test data and statistical charting.
Blonde Janet Kelley of Elmhurst, Ill., a former dress designer does detailed drawings of aviation parts and makes flat pattern layouts from them.
"I always wanted to learn mechanical drawing in school, but the classes weren't open to girls," she said. "When I heard about this course, I jumped at the chance.
An interior decoration student in college, she's now doing stress analysis work—working out by mathematical formulas how much stress any part of a plane will stand. She eventually would like to qualify as a full-fledged engineer and is
"Engineers tell me what they want in a plane part and it's my job to work out the mathematical amount of metal each part will require and fit the pattern into one that can be made on the machines we have in the shop. It's fascinating work."
Miss Kelley and Norma Victor of Abilene, Texas, are two of the approximately 165 women who've been selected out of 6,000 applicants for the course. Miss Victor has been working in the engineering department since August.
going to college at night for that purpose.
He forces post war careers for the women engineering aides.
"The girls are working out far above anything we dared anticipate," declared W. J. Hennesy, plant director of engineering training. "Some girls are doing just as good a job as some of the young male engineering graduates we have. They work doubly hard to make up for the lack of a four year scientific background."
"If the aviation business expands in post-war days as we think it will, and the girls continue to be as capable, we'll be eager to keep them on after the war," he said.
The company plans to train 200 more women engineering aides this year. Henrietta McDowell of State college, Pa., said proudly:
"Some of the planes we've worked on are now flying, and let me tell you that's a thrill."

Prep Track Men Compete Tomorrow
Hutchinson, Ashland Are Meet Favorites
With the 39th annual Interscholastic Track and Field Meet on schedule for tomorrow, the weather man has refused to promise anything short of at least cloudy weather with probable thundershowers. But what else can be expected when it is traditional for the weekend of the Kansas Relays to have weather other than fair.
But despite today's gloomy weather outlook, track fans are
looking forward to seeing at least one record broken — the mile relay record of 3 minutes 31.2 seconds which was set last year by four boys from Atchison Three members of that relay team are back again this year with a fourth runner who is reputed to be as fast, if not faster, than the boy he has replaced on the team. Another record, the 880-yard relay, may be broken this year by the same four Atchison boys who took the event last year.
Despite all that Atchison has to offer, relays officials believe that Hutchinson will take its third straight Class A championship, even though the Saithawks are without the services of Monte Waldecker, who won the three sprint events last year.
Wichita East is considered the logical team to upset Hutchinson if anyone does it. The Wichita team, runners-up the past two years, has a spinner, Linwood Sexton, who took the Class A 100 and 220-yard dashes and the broad jump at the Anthony Invitational Meet this year. Young should repeat for Wichita East again this year in his specialty, the mile run.
Another darkhorse in the meet is Manhattan. In a triangular meet earlier in the year, Manhattan defeated both Topeka and Junction City who have entered large squads in the relays.
One Entry from Ashland
In Class B it is difficult to choose the probable champion. However, if Billy Grimes, the only entry from Ashland, comes through with firsts in the three dash events, and if other event points are distributed fairly evenly, Ashland should win the championship. Grimes took firsts in the 100 and the 220-yard dashes last year. This year in the invitational high school track meet at Anthony, he took first in the Class B 100, 220, and 440-yard dashes. He may win the Class B relays championship by himself.
If the size of track squads entered in the relays are any indication of strength, then Florence with an 18-man squad may take the meet. Other squads of more than ten men are coming from Baldwin, Havensville, Peabody, Perry, and Waterville.

Sooners Enter Three-way Meet
Norman, Okla.,- Oklahoma's young track team will have to hustle to score a single first place in the triangular meet at Stillwater tomorrow between Nebraska, the Oklahoma Aggies and the University of Oklahoma.
Although Nebraska's team is far below its usual par because of service losses, Coach Ed Weir's Cornhuskers and Coach Ralph Higgins' Oklahoma Aggies are expected to divide most of the 15 events between themselves.
The Oxford system of scoring only first places will be followed.
The Sooners, nearly all of whom are freshmen or sophomores competing in their first season of intercollegiate track, may break through for firsts with Dan Painter, their sophomore distance man from Tulsa, or Andy Cary, freshman 440 and 880-yard phenom from Duncan.
Painter won the mile in 4:28 in a high wind here Saturday in the Sooner-North Texas dual, won by Texans $75^{\frac{1}{2}}$ to $54^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Capt. Boyd Vaughn, senior miler of the Denton team, pushed Painter for three and one-half laps but folded in the stretch when the tiny Tulsan whipped through the last 350 yards at sprinting speed.
Painter will run either the mile or the two-mile at Stillwater. If he runs the mile, he will face Jim Haffner, Aggie senior. If he elects to try the two-mile, Jim Martin, rangy Aggie who placed third in the Texas Relays 3,000 meters race
Theta's Wallop Gamma Phi's
ARRIVED TODAY--at Austin, Texas, last April 3, will be his opponent.
Scoring 5 runs in each of the last 3 innings, Kappa Alpha Theta upset Gamma Phi Beta, 17 to 6, in a women's intramural softball game yesterday afternoon. The Gamma Phi's previously had defeated Watkins Hall who had defeated the Theta's.
Peggy Davis pitched and Mary Rowsey caught for Theta's; Bobby Sue McCluggage pitched and Lucy Lee Thompson caught for the Gamma Phi's.

Don't Rob the Dead--some of the protests, but some others received by him brought shudders to the rather portly senator.
Undertakers Talk Back; Deplore Cut In Caskets
Washington, (INS) — Sen. Raymond E. Willis, (R) Ind., yesterday was wondering if there is anything personal in a flood of telegrams reaching his Washington office from Indiana undertakers protesting a recent war production board order reducing the size of caskets.
The Hoosier senator introduced into the congressional record
These are typical:
"Why if you were to die and this bill (order) were to go through the funeral director would have to order an oversize casket for you. Now wouldn't that be ridiculous?"
"Fifty-two years of experience screams at these screwy dimensions.
"Will you fit in a casket of this size?"
How would your loved ones like to see you cramped in one of these caskets?"
Others read:
"Funeral directors refuse to break the bones of dead bodies to adjust them to the new casket sizes."
"Surely the war is not going so badly that we have been reduced to robbing the dead."
The WPB order directed that caskets be reduced 2 to 6 inches in length, 1 to 3 inches in width, and 3 to 5 inches in depth.
RUSSIAN AUTHOR--filled from the council the party from which that representative was taken shall replace that position on the ASC. The vice-president shall be a woman chosen by the majority party from among its membership on the ASC."

quently visited Russia, and he has become a leading authority on that country.
In addition to his reputation as a fine speaker, he has written many books, some of which have been best sellers. Some of his most popular books are "Broken Earth" (1926), "Humanity Uprooted" (1929), "Red Bread" (1931), "The Great Offensive" (1933), "Moscow Skies" (1936), "Green Worlds" (1938), "We Should Live Again" (1939), "To Sing With the Angels" (1941), "Hitler Cannot Conquer Russia," (1941), and "Russia and Japan" (1942).

The PWCL party stated today that if a majority of its candidates were elected to the Council, it would appoint Peggy Davis, College junior, president. The WIG party announced that if it gets a majority on the Council, it will appoint Jill Peck, College junior, president. Since Miss Peck is already running on the WIG sate, the vacancy occurring in such a situation would be filled by Betty Lee Kalis, College junior, the party said. If the WIG party is in the minority on the Council, it will appoint Miss Peck representative-at-large and Miss Kalis will fill her vacancy.
The eight men on the Council will choose the secretary and treasurer, one from each of the men's political parties. The Emergency Measure was passed, according to Vernon McKale, MSC president, because the situation of the men on the campus next year is so unpredictable and the time spent in electioneering could be more profitably spent in smoothing out the arrangements of the new All-Student Council and Constitution.

Formerly stationed in North been a bridegroom one week whi His bride remained in North Carolina while he came here, and they planned to join each other as soon as he could find living quarters.
Mrs. Tart was scheduled to arrive in Lawrence Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. On Monday, Ensign Tart was ordered to report within 24 hours at another naval base half the length of the continent away. He was unable to get in touch with his wife, who was enroute by train, so he left Lawrence Monday night without being able to notify her.
Professor and Mrs. Flint, in whose home the ensign had been staying, met Mrs. Tart's train at the station the next morning and gave her a letter from her husband. Fifteen minutes later she boarded an east-bound train and followed her husband, hoping that he would be held at his new post long enough for her to catch up with him.
Installation of the new cabinet members will take place in Myer's hall 8:30 o'clock Sunday morning.

To the north, the British First army clung firmly to positions won in its advance against the Axis-held base of Tunisia against stubborn enemy resistance. Enemy attacks were beaten off and high ground held by the First army only 25 miles from Tunis remained in Allied hands.

War Bonds and Stamps Offer Returns Worth Much More Than Purchase Cost
The second war bond and stamp drive is now being conducted throughout the nation, and every community is putting forth its best effort in the all-out campaign. Every city and town, no matter how small, has taken upon itself the responsibility of raising a part of the national 13 billion dollar goal.
Reasons for supporting the war loan drive are quite evident. In the first place, the money loaned to the government goes directly into the war to furnish more equipment, supplies, and fighting material for the armed forces. Without a steady nation-wide support, production of such materials will be retarded, and the war on all fronts will suffer. In no way can the American people give the fighting boys a stronger vote of confidence than by loaning the money that is needed to furnish them the tools of a permanent victory.
War bonds and stamps aid not only the war effort but also the purchaser. The money put into the war is not a gift, only a loan. There can be no safer investment than that of the government itself. When the national investments in the government lose value, nothing will have any worth. As a saving and a protection for future years, war bonds and stamps are the best method.
Another purpose in war bond and stamp purchasing is to prevent home front inflation. No measure to prevent such a disaster would be too great. To keep the money in circulation and yet have something to show for it, buy war bonds and stamps.
With the nation-wide campaign built on these reasons, the sale has gone forward this week and the University has taken its active part. Members of the Co-ed Volunteer Corps have sold bonds and stamps on the Hill to add the student contribution to the national goal. For each student to purchase a bond is impossible, but the amount with which each student can help in this drive is great. The success of the campaign will depend largely on a number of small buyers, and it is here that University students can support the drive. The CVC goal is that every person on the campus have a stamp book, a small price to pay, considering the dividends.
Fight for Peace Must Be Won With Union and Cooperation
When the war is over . . .
This is the universal preface; all the wishing, all the planning in the world today for tomorrow depends on the "when clause" for fulfillment. When the war is over, we'll get married; after the war, we'll buy a new car; we'll take a vacation; we'll fix the garage; we'll have ham and eggs for breakfast . . . when the war is over. It may take a long time, but the war will be over some day, and Johnny will come marching home.
When the last shot is fired, the war will have been fought; but the fight for the peace will continue. The fight for the peace has already begun, and slowly but surely the minds which will shape the peace are being ranged into two camps, the internationalists and the isolationists. These minds control the world's destiny, and they are answerable to the millions dead
Just Wondering
If University band members realize how it looks to an audience for them to sit on the stage and study books during a convocation speech.
--and the millions who have earned the right to live and live fully. Some of these are minds which helped shape the "peace" of 1918 and sold out the world. Millions of lives have paid for the mistake they made. They will have the opportunity again to accept or to reject a plan for world cooperation. Their's will be the choice of union for peace, as they chose union for war, or the peace will be a false one.
A union of nations for peace will have for its great positive purpose the promotion of mutual benefaction among nations involving unrestricted trade right, promotion of industry and exploitation of resources by undeveloped nations not through the control of other powerful nations but through a generous assistance of these nations, political autonomy of all people and absolute freedom from oppression. The great negative purpose of the union of nations must be the outlawry of war; almost universally agreed upon for this purpose is a powerful international army to halt aggression and to prevent the rise of a military power threatening the world with its armed might. The necessity of a world court to enforce decisions of the united nations is also agreed upon by many who are planning the peace. The court will exist as a mediator for disputes among nations. Essentially what is demanded by peace planners today is little different from what was demanded in 1918; that was a good plan, but it was not given a fair trial. By united nations the war is being fought; and by united nations the peace must be fought for if the day is ever to come when the forces to prevent war are strong enogh to forestal the forces which promote it.—P.J.

Rock Chalk Talk BY MARY MORRILL
The asthetic side of dating: One of the Battenfeld boys asked Bob Humphrey how long he thought he'd be dating Shirley Sallee. Humphrey said he guessed quite a while—he was only half finished with the book he read while waiting for her and it was pretty good.
At first, horrified by the mercenary statements, Battenfeld, after learning the name of the book, has decided Humphrey knows true love at last.
What else could prompt a red-blooded American to sit in the Gamma Phi library for half an hour every weekend reading "Thoughts That Inspire" before going out?

The fateful question: Clay Hedrick, Phi Delt, was talking on the phone to Patsy Blank, Theta. They were talking about the weather. Suddenly Clay said, "Say, Patsy, would you like to go steady with me?" "What?" gasped Patsy, hearing but not believing. "Would you like to go steady with me?" "What?" was still all Patsy could manage. Clay was disturbed. "Well, good gosh, woman, I'm not going to ask you again," he yelled.
But it's all right. They're going steady.

How to balance one's budget: Gerald Tewell and Charline Johnson weren't going to the prom—it cost too much. But they had to take Tewell's car up to Hoch so roommate Joe Pfaff could use it at intermission.
They arrived simultaneously with the band. They went inside anklets and cords—to check up on the score. Tewell stood at the door and suddenly people began handing him tickets. Tewell and Charline were next seen—in formal attire—enjoying the 5th dance.

Victory Through Onions Gardening Mania
By JANE MINER
From Bob Hope to your economics professor, everyone's planting radishes, onions, and tomatoes for victory gardens mania of the moment, or product of necessity.
With the coming of spring and the rationing of canned goods the movement has acquired new drive, and the hill faculty has not been aloof to it. Many are
Any student who's made a visit home lately knows what's happened to the old home town as a result of this back to the earth movement. Neighbors who in previous years didn't even have any grass in their yards now have half of the ground plowed up for victory gardens. Probably the outgrowth of this will be feuds over who stole whose prize tomatoes. Worse than the loss of your number 17 coupon is the disappearance of your badminton court—thebackyard; it's now been transformed into a victory garden.
Kiernan Comments
Walter Kiernan, staff writer for International News Service, makes the following caustic comment about the situation. Professors and all others to whom it is applicable may take due warning.
"Be careful, it's your heart. And a victory garden puts a strain on it." "Thousands of men who haven't lifted anything heavier than a letter
head in years are out digging their own graves today.
"Old Dr. Kiernan's advice is 'Better go without cauliflower than be buried beneath it."
"They will be pushing up daisies before the radishes bloom.
"A victory garden should be ap-
proached by oldsters. . . and that's
anybody over 35. . . with caution
and respect.
"Dig an hour today and an hour tomorrow. A straight eight hour session with the pitchfork is not for the man whose previous digging has been with knife and fork.
"Otherwise you'll have flowers and you won't smell them.
"You can have vegetables and live to eat them if you have a proper regard for your physical condition.

OWI Employees Resign; Frown On 'Bally-Hoo'
Washington, (INS)—Fifteen former employees of the Office of War Information, in a formal statement, said yesterday that their resignations were prompted because OWI was being turned into "an office of war bally-hoo."
The group added that they had never doubted the personal integrity of OWI directer Elmer Davis but added:
Resignees Deplore Promoters
"As we see it, the activities of OWI on the home front are now dominated by high pressure promoters who prefer slick salesmanship to honest information.
"There is only one issue—the deep and fundamental one of the honest presentation of war information. We are leaving because of our conviction that it is impossible for us, under those who now control our output to tell the full truth."
Davis Saves Charges Incorrect
Included in the group were Harold K. Guinzburg, president of Viking Press, and Henry F. Pringle, Pulitzer prize-winning author.
The charges of the 15 men and women were described by Davis as "completely incorrect."
"We deal in one plain commodity—the facts the people of this country need to win the war," Davis said. "All facts must be presented accurately and in proper proportion."

Letters to the Editor
★
To the Editor:
The action of the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association in passing a resolution guaranteeing to all students the right to attend University dances, not only gives all students added faith in student government, but proves to colored students that real and practical democracy can be attained if responsible agencies and authorities will uphold the power and faith placed in them.
True, the political aspect that attended the circulation of the petition which led to the Councils' action was unfortunate. But nevertheless the phenomenal fact that should be kept in mind is that the thing which it is said couldn't be done, has been done. The University, through student government, by giving to the Negro student, this new status as an individual, is at last assuming its logical role as a leader for democracy in the state.
If student government can do so much, what seemingly insurmountable barriers to racial equality could not be eliminated if the University officials would whole-heartedly get behind the movement. The students have shown beyond a doubt that they are for participation of colored students in all University activities. I call upon the administration to carry out the will of the students by entering Roger Whitworth in the track meet with Baker University, April 21.

Hull Gives Plan To Prevent War
Washington, (INS)—The United States government stands for a world organization based on equal rights for all peace-loving nations as the most practical method of preventing future wars.
This is the interpretation which highly authoritative sources in Washington place on Secretary of State Cordell Hull's historic Pan-American Day declaration of U.S. foreign policy. believed directed at Great Britain
These sources, said Hull, was giving notice that this government favors American participation in a world organization to maintain peace rather than in any separate councils of Europe and Asia, such as those recently proposed by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Hull Answers Churchill's Speech
Hull's speech before the governing board of Pan-American Union was seen as the American government's first public response to Churchill's March 21st broadcast.
Hull's emphasis on the need for the great powers to exercise self-restraint in respecting the rights of the small nations also was seen as an appeal to Russia to reconsider its claim to the Baltic States after the war.
Most of his speech, however, was

Q. What kind of Bonds are War Savings Bonds?
Saving Bonds?
A. They are appreciation bonds, that is, they are sold on a discount basis.
After issue, they increase in value, reaching their full value in 10 years. The increase in value, which you receive when you redeem the Bonds, is the interest on your investment.
A. No time limit has been set. The sale will continue until it is stopped at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Q. How long will War Savings Bonds and Stamps be on sale?
Q. Can children purchase Wer Savings Stamps and Bonds?
WAR STAMPS
By Gib Crockett.
A. Yes. Millions of children are buying them regularly as their share in international savings program.
Q. Will the Government accept a personal check in payment for a Bond?
A. Yes; subject to call
A. Yes; subject to collection.
Q. If both coowners of a War Savings Bond die before the Bond is presented for redemption, who gets the money?
A. The estate of the cowher whose death took place last.
believed directed at Great Britain. Churchill's broadcast and the recent London Time's editorsial advocating virtual Anglo-Russian domination of Europe caused considerable concern in official Washington circles. Pan-American Solidarity Explained
Remember—the longer you keep War Bonds, up to 10 years, the more valuable they become.
Churchill suggested that Great Britain, the United States and Russia should assume the leadership in establishing a "council of great states" in which the smaller nations would be represented through confederations rather than individually.
U. S. Treasury Dept.
Churehill also proposed that America participate in a council of Europe, in which all the "main branches of the European family" would "one day" be "partners."
In emphasizing that Pan-American solidarity is based on the principles of "sovereignty, equality, law, order, justice, morality, non-intervention, friendliness and cooperation," Hull said:

"We have not labored to create a region apart from the rest of the world. We have fostered the idea and the practice of a community of good neighbors whose members are .a part of the life of the world.
"The international law to which we submit ourselves is not an international law of the Americas alone, but is the law of civilized nations everywhere throughout the earth. The practice of equity is not a design for a hemisphere but is a rule for living in a free and peaceful world."
"The liberty that we jealously safeguard as the right of every American nation, great and small, is the same liberty which we believe should be established throughout the earth."

Allies' Bombs Set Stage For Invasion
(International News Service)
Anglo American bombing of occupied Europe in preparation for the invasion of the continent moved along today on a grand scale. American flying fortresses attacked the great Focke-Wulf airplane plant at Breman despite furious enemy fighter and anti-aircraft opposition, while the RAF staged a daylight raid on Abbville, France.
These raids followed the heaviest air assaults of the year on Pilson, Czechoslovakia, site of the Skoda armament works, and on the Nazi cities of Mannheim, and Ludwigs-haven. More than 600 British four-engineed bombers took part in these raids, the air ministry announced, and 55 British planes were shot down. This represented a loss of 400 crew members.
Skoda Works Heavily Bombed
Social Workers Heavily Bombed
The Pilson-Mannheim-Ludwigshaven raids climaxed nearly 100 hours of nearly continuous operation of the RAF. Nearly 200 tons of death and destruction fell on the cities. Returning pilots said there was no doubt that the Skoda works had been subjected to desperate

Tommy Harmon Reported Safe
Washington, (INS)—The war department announced late today that Lt. Thomas Harmon is safe "in the jungles of Brazil."
This was the only information the department had to add to an earlier announcement confirming reports from San Juan, Puerto Rico, that the famed football player had turned up safe after his plane crashed in a jungle.
The former all-American football star from the University of Michigan was reported missing on April 8. The war department announced that he was overdue on a flight to South America. No details of the crash or of Harmon's rescue are made known.

*be "the independent party."
After being approached by both political parties all week independent women with no political connections begin to wonder where the difference lies in the two parties. The situation becomes increasingly confusing after reading both party platforms.
All this week women politicians have gathered in their respective party headquarters, burning midnight oil and trying to plan bigger and better campaign measures and rallies. Their followers in organized houses also burn midnight oil trying to convince themselves that they must vote a straight ticket even though one of their good friends is running on their rival party's slate
With the polls opening at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning, tension will be running high and telephone wires kept sizzling hot Monday night. After Tuesday night, the women can relax and soon the added beauty of the campus—in the form of red and blue tags—will begin to disappear and the women's election will be over.

Welch Acquitted
Calendar of Events In the Welsh Case
March 8, 1941—Leila Adele Welsh accompanied Richard Funk to the police circus, and the Tropic room of Hotel Phillips, and returned home about 1 o'clock am.
March 9, 1941—Police radio dispatcher received a telephone call at 9:42 a.m. that someone was injured and maybe dead at 6109 Rocknill road. Policemen found Miss Welsh's body on the bed in her bedroom.
Her throat was cut and two wounds appeared on the right side of her head. A blood-soaked shirt was on the floor.
The coroner stated that Miss Welsh had been dead 20 minutes when her throat was cut and a piece of flesh was cut from her right hip. A large hammer was found on the rug at the side of the bed, and a knife could be seen from the window, the blade buried to the hilt in the ground 10 or 12 feet away.
Jan. 29, 1942—Jackson county grand jury returned indictment, formally charging George W. Welsh, Jr., with murder. The grand jury, in its report, sharply criticized Lear B. Reed, police chief, for his manner of directing the investigation. Chief Reed resigned in September, 1941.
This indictment against George Welsh, Jr., was later dismissed. Another grand jury refused to indies him.
May, 1942 - After being held on a warrant, he was given a preliminary hearing before J. J. Dougherty, justice of the peace. The bearing became as dramatic as a trial; crowds of spectators stormed the courtroom and corridors. The justice refused to bind Welsh to the grand jury, and the complaint was dismissed.
The district attorney then filed an information against him.
April 7, 1943-Trial of Welsh began in the Jackson county Circuit court before Judge Albert A. Ridge.
April 15, 1943—Judge Ridge overruled a demurrier, leaving the jury to decide Welsh's fate. April 17, 1943—Welsh was acquitted by the jury.

Jury Deliberates Four Hours To Bring in Verdict
Kansas City, (INS)—After deliberating four hours and one minute a jury yesterday acquitted George W. Welsh, 29, of the mutilation slaying of his sister, pretty Leila Adele Welsh.
The jury action was greeted with wild applause and cheering of the spectators in the courtroom. Welsh's mother, who was sitting with her son as the jury returned to the box, flushed with relief and then bowed her head, sobbing. Welsh, his face wreathed in smiles, turned and comforted his mother as the spectators continued their cheering.
In a surprise move at his murder trial Friday Welsh had denied the state's charge of murder. Welsh said after he had eaten dinner at home the night preceding the murder he went to the front of the house and fell asleep on a couch.
Welsh Stayed on Couch All Night
Fresh Stayed on Couch All Night He stated he did not remember Miss Welsh leaving the house with her escort. He remained on the couch all night, he said, never seeing his sister return home.
Asked why he went to sleep on the couch, Welsh replied "I had a habit of doing that. After eating I would lie down there and was just too plain lazy to get up and go to bed."
Speaking without a trace of nervousness, Welsh said he left home the following morning, unaware that his sister lay dead and mutilated in a nearby room.
Welsh Sticks To Story
On cross examination by Roy McKittrick, attorney general of Missouri who entered the case at the request of the prosecutor, Welsh stuck to his story that he remained on the couch the entire night.
He said he knew nothing of his sister's murder until after an uncle had left a note at a house he was trying to sell, advising him to return home. Welsh said he was taking his mother to the home of a relative when told of the death. "1 nearly collapsed," he said.

PWCL stated yesterday that if a majority of its candidates were elected to the Council, it would appoint Peggy Davis president.

Since Miss Peck is already running on the WIGS slate, the vacancy occurring in such a situation would be filled by Betty Lee Kalis, the party said. If the WIGS party is in the minority on the Council, it will appoint Miss Peck representative at large and Miss Kalis will fill her vacancy. The Emergency Measure states that a vacancy occurring on the Council may be filled by the party in which the vacancy occurs.

Air Commander May Be Appointed The London Sunday Dispatch declared that British and American land, sea, and air chiefs were conferring on the appointment of a supreme air commander. He would direct operations in Europe, Africa, and nearer parts of Asia, the Dispatch said, including adjoining seas. No official confirmation of this story came from London or Washington.
The navy announced yesterday the submarines operating in the Pacific had sunk two Jap submarines and damaged two others, including a destroyer. Earlier the navy had revealed 13 dawn to dusk air raids on Kiska on April 15 which caused heavy damage.
ENSIGN BUERCKHOLTZ---
(continued from page one)
Smith College January 15, Ensign Buerckholtz received an ensign's grade, and went to Boston to take a specialized course, Disbursing and Supply, in the Navy Supply Corps School at Harvard University. She was graduated with the first class of WAVES trained with the Supply Corps at Harvard on April 2, and reported here the 12th.
Ensign Buerckholtz Attended
Her home is in Whiting, Ind., and she was graduated from Indiana University, majoring in mathematics and commerce. Although she does not have a graduate degree, she took some graduate work at the University of Chicago.
While a student at Indiana University, Ensign Buerckholtz was a members of the Chi Omega sorority. Having made no arrangements before her arrival in Lawrene last Monday, she stayed at the Chi Omega house temporarily. She is now living with Mrs. Frank P. Butorae whose
WAVES Can Use Makeup
To correct misapprehensions. Ensign Buerckholtz explained that WAVES can wear nail polish, make-up, and perfumes. When asked about the selection of clothing, she laughed, "Anything that meets the eye must be regulation. Anything else is personal choice." WAVES may also chose their clothes for active sports-wear.
Before joining the WAVES, Ensign Buerckholtz was a labor market analyst with the US Employment Service in Indianapolis, Ind. Before that, she taught mathematics and commerce in Irving Junior high school in Hammond, Ind.
Has Brother In Army
When asked about brothers or sisters, Ensign Buerckholtz, showing a tinge of pride, replied that she had one brother who is a corporal in the army, stationed at Fort McClellan in Alabama.
Explaining that at Smith College, "We learn to become good navy men," she listed the things she studied while there. Besides drill and exercises, apprentices study naval organization, naval history, naval administration, personnel, and ships and aircraft. Most of the WAVE officers are college graduates.
Likes Nautical Terms
While attending school, the WAVES march to all classes, singing. One favorite is "Waves of the Navy." It was written by one of the first students at Smith College, and both the words and score are original. Ensign Buerckholtz said that the song is usually sung with a humming accompaniment of the melody of "Anchors Aweigh."
Ensign Buerckholtz likes the use of nautical terms. One that especially intrigues her is "break out." As an example she said, "When we had tests, the instructor would say, 'Break out' a sheet of paper."
Some others she mentioned are, "ship" for dormitory, "shove off" for leave, "bunk" for bed, and "pipe down" for be quiet. The last one she said was a favorite while she was an apprentice seaman in indocination training.
Michael F. Mulcahy, Chicago ration chief, said he would attempt to find out why the validation stamps were kept with the ration books in violation of general instructions.

Dean Nesmith, trainer of the University varsity athletic teams for the past five years, resigned his position. Friday, in preparation to beginning his new duties as a junior physical education instructor, a civil service position, at the Olathe naval air training station May 1.
Nesmith became the head athletic trainer in 1938 after Elwyn Dees resigned to a similar position at Oklahoma A & M.
While carrying out his duties as the trainer of all varsity teams, Nesmith made many warm friendships with members of the basketball, football, and track teams. The team which he said would always stand out in his memory is the 1940 basketball team which defeated Southern California in the Western NCAA playoffs.

Upon Dean Nesmith's resignation, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, basketball coach, paid him the following tribute:
"We, of the athletic staff, and the varsity athletes of all competitive teams will sorely miss Dean Nesmith at the University of Kansas. He had every interest of the athlete at heart. As a man and as a trainer, he possessed the finest qualities that a team trainer should have. His combined varsity-competitive team experience and his clean habits of living were a most constructive thing in setting standards for our athletic youth."
"The boys of the different teams often brought him presents as tribute of the thousand and one kindnesses he showed them during their hours of mental exaluation or of psychic depression in victory or in defeat."

1944 President May Be GOP
--credit in aiding me in the development of our championship basketball teams. We wish him well at Olathe in the naval service, and we trust that he will return to us after the war."
Columbus, Ohio, (INS)—Alfred M. Landon, GOP presidential nominee in 1936 and former governor of Kansas, believes the Republicans have a good chance of electing a president in 1944, but if he has any idea who the GOP nominee will be, he is keeping it a secret.
Landon arrived in Columbus from Albany, New York, today where he conferred with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey after a visit with President Roosevelt in Washington. He was to leave for his home in Topeka after spending the afternoon with Gov. John W. Bricker, a leading possibility for the republican nomination next year.
The 1936 GOP presidential nominee parried all questions of newsmen who sought his opinion as to which candidate has the best chance of winning the 1944 presidential nomination.

A TROPHY IS NEEDED.
Seems to us that some wealthy alumnus or the University itself might give Jayhawk athletics a big boost if they would dig into their pockets and purchase a trophy, to be awarded each year to the University's outstanding athlete. Men such as this year's Ray Evans and last year's Ralph Miller deserve such recognition.
A TROPHY IS NEEDED
The trophy could either be a floating one—in the possession for the following twelve months of the winner each year—or could be kept permanently upon the Campus with the names of the annual winners inscribed thereon. If donated, the trophy could bear the name of the donor. If furnished by the University itself, the award could be named after some Jayhawk great such as the incomparable Glenn Cunningham.
Annual choice of the trophy winner could be made by a vote of all University lettermen, or by avote of the University Athletic board (dubbed the anti-athletic board by the inimitable Phog Allen in his recent difference with that group), or by a special committee set up for that purpose.
SHENK MAKES A PROMISE
*****
Is the appointment of Henry Shenk to the coaching job just a temporary measure, or will the physical ed instructor hold on after the war? At present all the signs seem to point to a Shenk regime only for the duration, since it was stressed that he was named only "acting coach," and for the '43 season alone.
Shenk in his first chalk talk with Jayhawkger gridmed recently showed much of the fire of Bill Hargiss, last of the really successful Kansas football coaches. Promised Shenk: "One thing I am going to fight for next fall is good blocking and tackling. We will spend plenty of time on fundamentals."
In that statement, Shenk certainly put his finger on the two glaring weaknesses of the Henry and Lindsey-coached teams—especially the lack of capable blocking. If Shenk can correct those weaknesses, he will have the blessing of practically the entire student body to continue the coaching chores after the war.
Phog Allen, basketball mentor and a former grid coach himself, has only praise for Shenk's knowledge of both the gridiron and track games. Shenk's biggest handicap, of course, will be his lack of a national reputation to attract the prep stars here. The likeable intramural head, however, has personality, and is in solid with high school coaches, which is the first step in that direction.

Plans To Save Tires--against the road or the landing grounds of ___ $ \textcircled{1} $ ___
New Methods Developed To Check 'Thunder Bolts'
Detroit, (INS)—Newly developed methods of preventing the formation of destructive "thunderbolts" on rubber tires of war tanks, planes and ordinary automobiles were among the significant advances in various fields of chemistry reported at the American Chemical Society yesterday.
When tires rub against the airplanes, electricity is formed by friction. If this electrical charge is not dissipated, it increases in amount until it becomes dangerous. Electrical discharges, "Thunderbolts," may result and cause considerable damage. Engineers Mix Rubber Stocks
Chemical engineers Drs. Leonard H. Cohan and Martin Seinberg, of the Continental Carbon Laboratories in New York stated that by mixing certain types of carbon black in natural and synthetic rubber tire stocks it is possible to make the material capable of getting rid of electricity by itself.
In other words, the carbon black treated rubber itself acts like a "lightning rod," so that when electricity begins to accumulate on it, a condition of leakage takes place. Such rubber becomes a "semiconductor," half way between a metal and an insulating material.
The best kind of carbon black is the acetylene black, but there is a shortage of this substance. Hence research was undertaken to find other varieties of carbon black, some ten million pounds of which will be needed in making synthetic rubber tires this year.
New carbon blacks have been found, and their tests show that by their use electrical sabotaging of rubber tires could be largely controlled.
Among the synthetic rubbers a new kind, called Agripol, was discussed by Drs. Andrew J. Snyder and Clinton A. Braidwood, of the Reichhold Chemical Laboratories in Detroit. It has been made from agricultural materials, and can be satisfactorily used as a substitute for natural rubber in many ways. New Metal Acts Like Radium
The production and isolation of a new kind of cobalt metal, which acts like radium, was reported by Prof. Charles A. Doan and Drs. W. A. Bacon and J. D. Kurbatov, of Ohio State University.
When iron was bombarded with heavy hydrogen atomic cores, the new kind of cobalt was produced. By a special method it was purified. Then it was injected into the bodies of rabbits.
Because it acts like radium, hurling out electronic bullets from time to time, it can be detected by detecting instruments no matter in which part of the animal's body it becomes accumulated.

Thus, the secrets of cobalt inside the living body will be discovered.
Cobalt has been considered as a possible cause of certain undesirable effects in the blood cells producing machinery of the human body. On the other hand, a small amount of it might be useful as one of the minerals required in daily diet.
The new method is expected to solve the problem of man's need for cobalt or of its possible injurious effects.

To Vote In Election Tuesday Is Duty All University Women Should Perform
Tuesday is an election day.
The first women's election under the new unicameral system and with open political parties will be decided Tuesday when the polls are opened to University women. Once again students have the opportunity and the privilege to voice their opinions and to have a part in the selection of their student leaders.
How many women at the University will take advantage of this, however? In past elections, student interest and participation have varied. Last spring, the heat of the campus competition brought approximately 850 women to the polls, but still, in the recent election for the new constitution, the total number of votes for both men and women was only 522. Does an election have to be a cut-throat race before students will take interest? It is a person's duty one time just as well as another to vote on candidates and questions in an intelligent manner so that student government will be carried out according to the wishes of all students instead of a minority number.
Many upper classmen, especially seniors, have declared that the students elected will not affect them because they themselves will not be in school next year. This argument does not stand. It is the duty and the task of every upper classman to cast an intelligent vote for persons with whom he can trust the future of his alma mater. Freshmen coming into the University next year deserve the consideration of seniors and other students, whether they are returning to school or not, to elect for the freshmen a council and a group of leaders that they will be proud and willing to accept.
The political question this year is lined up into two political parties, each claiming approximately the same basic platforms. Whether students belong to one political party, whether they know what the background of combines out of which political parties grew, or whether they are even interested in politics or not makes no difference—every woman on the University campus should study the political candidates to the best of her ability and then vote according to her fairest judgment.
America Should Grow Up Enough To End Non-Essential Debates
At a time when great questions of war strategy, manpower, production, and postwar planning are confronting the leaders of the nation, it is indeed unfortunate that these leaders must be bothered with the bickering of troublemakers concerning petty issues.
To many persons in the nation, no leader or official seems too busy to listen to the cry about some insignificant problem—such as cutting the size of caskets or the shortage of jelly beans at Easter. How persons can actually take time away from vital jobs and from necessary planning to complain about such trivial matters, is in itself a problem.
Why is it that some persons in the United States cannot realize that this nation is at war—a real war—where the results are so important that the size of caskets or the number of jelly beans doesn't make any difference? Congress and production leaders of the country should be acting in their most intelligent way to bring all things to a centralized war effort. If they
Just Wondering___
If the diligent work of University professors like E. D. Kinney, who developed a new process for extraction of alumina, is fully appreciated.
--see the necessity of cutting from 3 to 6 inches off caskets and of reducing the production of jelly beans, why can't American people accept such facts and aid in such an action?
A fitting letter on such a general subject was sent to Time magazine by a group of soldiers at Camp Claiborne, La. The men wrote, "Join the Army, if you are one of the misused civilians, and get all these good things that we soldiers deprive you of."
How can we have time to sit around and argue about the size of caskets while the men over seas are fighting and dying without a word? Isn't it time for the American people at home to grow up?
Engineers Make It Go
Dr. Baldwin M. Woods, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, fixes the engineer's position in wartime as "The engineer, the physicist, and the industrialist are partners in the gigantic program of modern production. The engineer stands between science and industry and must look both ways. The discovery of a principle is the physicist's job; applying it in one or a thousand ways is the engineer's. The problem of the engineer in wartime is to see that the ideas conceived by science are converted to practical use as efficiently as possible."

Rock Chalk Talk

The communal system: Corbin Hall was amazed when it overheard Joe Pfaff, A. K. Psi, asking Mary Martha Huddelson, if he could borrow her corduroy jacket to wear on a date.
The coat originally belonged to Larry "Shower Bath" Hickey, Pfaff's roommate, and Pfaff borrowed it most of the time. Then in a weak moment, Hickey gave the garment to Mary Martha.
Pfaff is quite unhappy. Walking over to Corbin before every date is both inconvenient and embarrassing.

Where speech ceases to be a freedom: At 1215 Oread, Nancy Neville (father a coca cola magnate—or something) keeps the girls in cokes, and the girls keep the cokes in ice. The ice man hadn't been around for a week. Indignant, Jean Spencer called the plant and began laying the first male voice which answered out for inefficiency, maladministration, and being generally an all-around rat.
There was much sputtering at the other end.
"Who is this speaking anyway?" asked Jean.

The wind—a Mt. Oread Institution: George Rinehart and Elmer Beth, professors of the department of journalism, were together when Mr. Rinehart's hat blew up in a tree. The crease lined up parallel with a small branch, the wind blew the hat against the branch, and Mr. Rinehart was bareheaded for many minutes.
While waiting for the hat, the two professors watched passing students and observed with satisfaction that they weren't alone in their grief.
This is, perhaps, an opportune time to introduce two lines of Shirley Kelley's latest poetical work on wind:
To many, a wind is depressing and frightful.
To others, the same is uplifting—delightful.

"I could get this across a lot better," he said, "if I had a piece of ice to demonstrate with."

Hill Sailors Swing Out Wanta' Go Home
The marching lines of singing sailors are now a permanent part of the campus scene; and almost as well-known as the University alma mater is their gripe song, "We Don't Want No More of Kansas."
By Jane Miner
According to Maurice Roberts, yeoman second class, and
According to Maurice Robeditor of the machinists mates' paper, the Micrometer, who questioned many of the sailors about the song, it has grown up here on the Hill. Origin of the music is unknown, but the first verses to the song were started by the second or third division of sailors which came here. These groups have now left the campus.
Following are eight of the many verses the "singing sailors" have evolved, ranging in topic all the way from KU women to the coffee they drink that "tastes like iodine."
The manner of development of the song has usually been for a talented member of the group to sing the verse, making the words up as he goes along, and then for the rest of the men to join in on the chorus. As each division of sailors comes in, it adds new verses. In this manner the Navy has begun a Kansas folk song.
The coffee that they give you They say is mighty fine It's good for cuts and but
The pay that they give you
And tastes like iodine.
**Chorus:**
Oh! We don't want no more of Kansas
We just want go home.
They say is mighty fine They give you fifty dollars And fine you forty-nine.
The doughnuts that they feed you
They say are very fine

Chandler Asks Planes, Men For MacArthur
Washington, (INS)—Sen. A. B. Chandler of Kentucky today appealed to government and military leaders to give Gen. Douglas MacArthur enough planes, men and munitions "to carry the fight" to Japan in the Southwest Pacific. Chandler warned that Russia and England may leave this country to fight alone against the Japs once Germany is crushed.
At the same time, the Senator, an administration Democrat who headed a special congressional committee which investigated American defense in Alaska, told the Senate that the Jaws have built airfields on Attu and Kiska in the Aleutians from which they can bomb west coast cities and possibly invade the American continent.
The Kentuckian expressed deep concern over concentration of planes troops in the Southwest Pacific by the Japanese. He called on government and military leaders to recognize the "deadly seriousness of the Japanese menace to the people of the United States." He bluntly stated that "the war against Japan is no second class war," and added:
"We must carry the fight to the enemy."
American Flag Goes To Oregon to Get Thirty-Second Star
San Francisco, (INS)—An American flag that eventually will rest in the Smithsonian Institute was on its way to Oregon yesterday after having its 31st star, representing California, sewn on by a direct descendant of Betsy Ross.
California's star was added to the historic banner's blue field by Mrs. Paul Revere Biswell of the Oakland chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a great, great, granddaughter of Betsy Ross.
The flag was started on its round of the states by the Sons of the American Revolution for each commonwealth to add a star in the order it entered the union. Oregon will add the 32nd star.

Size of Map Halfs On Eisenhower's Wall As Axis Retreat
Allied Headquarters in North Africa, (INS)—The clearest picture of the manner in which Axis forces are being hemed in in Tunisia was given yesterday by a wall map hung up in the war correspondents' room of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters.
At one time, the map took up virtually the whole wall, with multi-colored pins and red string stretching from near the ceiling to the floor.
When the British Eighth Army joined with American forces, the map was cut almost in half. Today it was cut again as the Allies pushed steadily forward. The map is now one-quarter its original size.
WAR BOND QUIZ
Q. How many coowners of a Bond can there be?
A. War Bonds may be issued in the names of only two individuals as coowners, and the registration must be in the alternative, such as "John X. Smith or Mrs. Mary Smith," without any qualifying words or phrases.
Q. If a person who already holds War Savings Bonds up to the limit for the current year should inherit additional Bonds, could they be registered in his name?
A. Yes.
Q. How can I be sure that I can get my money back if I buy a War Savings Bond?
By Gib Crockett
MY WORD ON IT SOUL
A. The full faith and credit of the United States Government are pledged for payment of both principal and interest. Your Bond is just as sound as the Government itself.
A. In the absence of a coworker or beneficiary in the registration, the bond will form a part of the registered owner's estate, and will be paid to persons entitled to share in the estate under local laws as provided in the regulations.

"Sold" Balloon
London, (INS)—Two American soldiers who "bought" a barrage balloon from a civilian so that they could float it over their hut woke up today to the fact that they had overlooked an important detail in making the purchase.
The soldiers, according to the army newspaper, Stars and Stripes, had just emerged from one of the popular English pubs when the barrage balloon caught their fancy. They were, it seems, slightly "pub-happy."
The soldiers returned to camp balloonless but wiser. Next time they will consult the ground crew first. Apparently the boys never heard the story about Brooklyn bridge.
An obliging civilian "sold" them the balloon, but the ground crew in charge refused to make delivery.
Tunisian Campaign Nears Final Phase, Says Henry Stimson
Washington, (INS)—Secretary of War Henry Stimson said yesterday that the final phase of the Tunisian campaign appears to be drawing near, with American and British forces pushing a piston attack against an estimated 200,000 Axis troops.
"The allied troops in Tunisia have cornered the Axis forces into a small triangle which will undoubtedly be the scene of bitter fighting," Stimson said.

Hollywood, (INS) — Introducing Hollywood's first masculine pin-up star—Brian Donlevy.
The actor, portrayer of rugged roles on the screen, received requests for 312 pictures today from company 3211 of the first group of women Marines' auxiliary, now enrolled at the U. S. Naval Training Station at Hunter College, New York.

Roosevelt Cannot Devaluate Dollar— Senate Committee
Washington, (INS)—The senate banking committee voted to deny President Roosevelt authority to further devalue the gold content of the dollar after June 30.
The action was taken after Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau a bitter debate over devaluation would do more harm than any benefit that might come from continuing the devaluation authority.
The committee agreed to recommend passage of the Wagner Bill extending the life of the $2,000,000,000 gold stabilization fund, which expires June 30, and to eliminate from the bill continuation of authority for the President to devolve the dollar nine additional cents.

Armed Forces To Have Math Exams Here
Mathematics examinations for college students, under the auspices of the United States Armed Forces Institute, for the purpose of building standards to evaluate the learning of men in the armed forces, will be held at the University April 29 and 30, Dr. A. H. Turney, of the School of Education staff, who is in charge of the tests, announced today.
The examinations will be given in natural sciences, biological sciences, mathematics, social studies, and in English literature, at various colleges and universities throughout the country, Dr. Turney said. The tests at the University will be in mathematics, specifically in algebra and trigonometry. The trigonometry test will be given on April 29; and that in algebra, on April 30.
To Establish Standards
Dr. Turney pointed out that while the purpose of these tests over the nation was to establish standards of evaluation, it was hoped to have them completed and graded in time to allow credit toward the final examinations of University students participating in the venture.
"Students participating in these tests," said Dr. Turney, "are making a serious and vital contribution toward the war effort."
The tests are to be sent to the University where they will be graded under the supervision of Dr. E. F. Lindquist, of the advisory committee of the U. S. Armed Forces institute. Math Students Eligible
Any student of freshman or sophomore standing in the department of mathematics is eligible to take the tests, Dr. Turney stated.
The United States Armed forces institute is a special agency within the U. S. Army concerned primarily with the educational interests of the men and women in the armed forces. It offers correspondence instruction to the men and women in the service as a part of the total program to increase their military effectiveness.
Question of Academic Credit
With the establishment of the institute, there arose the questions of whether and how those completing the courses should receive academic credit which would be recognized by schools and colleges. Difficulties, reminiscent of those in World War I, arose. For the most part, colleges and universities were agreed on a general policy of allowing blanket military credit toward a degree.

Washington, (INS)—The advisory physician to congress today advised members of the house and senate to arrange a vacation this summer if they hope to keep in good health.
Der Fuehrer's 54th Birthday Is Jittery
(International News Service)
A war-weary and jittery Germany today observed Adolph Hitler's 54th birthday. An unscheduled feature of the observance was the silencing of several important radio stations which had promised to broadcast special programs in honor of the Reich's fuehrer.
Indicating nervousness over the possibility of air raids by Allied flyers, transmitters in Berlin, Breslau, Paris, Luxumbourg, and Kalundborg in Denmark suddenly went off the air during the forenoon. Berlin later resumed broadcasting.
Dr. George W. Calver, who has given medical attention to hundreds of congressmen in the last ten years, warned congress and other federal officials that some play and relaxation is vitally necessary to good health—and good government. And he adds, everybody can benefit from the same advice.
Meanwhile, today's communique from Allied headquarters in North Africa, where Hitler's celebrated

FDR Confers With Camacho In Mexico
Monterrey, Mexico, (INS) President Roosevelt arrived in this Mexican city late today to confer with President Manuel Avila Camacho.
The two presidents will make a radio address to Mexican and United States citizens tonight at 10 p.m. Lawrence time.
Marking the first time in more than 30 years that the presidents of the two sister nations have conferred personally, the meeting was arranged in furtherance of President Roosevelt's long range aim to get together with the leaders of Allied Nations so that they all will get to know and understand each other.
Mr. Roosevelt is the first president to set foot on Mexican soil since 1909 when President Taft crossed the border during dedicatory services at the opening of the international bridge at El Paso, Texas.
The president, traveling in a special train, dropped below the border as he passed through Texas during his second war time inspection trip now half way completed.

Constant lifeboat drill paid dividends, Campbell said. Every man was off the ship less than ten minutes after it was hit. And, he added.
-Ballot Mark Voting Indicates Strong Interest
Breaking all past records for women's elections nearly 1000 women had voted by 2 o'clock this afternoon either in the basement of Frank Strong or in Fraser hall.

Roosevelt Is Inspecting Camps
At a special press conference in his private car, President Roosevelt evidenced great satisfaction with the progress of the military training programs and declared that troops he had seen so far would do a good job in Europe. The President slipped quietly out of Washington Tuesday, April 13, and since that time Mr. Roosevelt has reviewed troops at Parris Island, S.C.; Ft. Benning, Ga.; Maxwell Field, Ala.; Ft. Oglethorpe, Tenn.; Camp Forrest, Tenn.; and Camp Robinson, Ark.
The chief executive attended Palm Sunday religious services at the latter camp which is near Little Rock.
Aboard President Roosevelt's special inspection train, (INS) — President Roosevelt is in his second war-time inspection tour of camps and war plants in the United States. Traveling "off the record" for seven days, correspondents accompanying the president were permitted to announce news of his trip as the half way mark was reached.
Salaried Positions On Kansan Open
Students who wish to be considered for appointment to several salaried positions on the Daily Kansan should write a statement of their experience and qualifications, and submit the application before April 27 to Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism. Professor Beth is chairman of the business committee of the Daily Kansan Board.
The committee will soon make the following four appointments: business manager and advertising manager for 1943-44 regular session; business manager and editor for the 1943 16-week summer session. All of these executives will be paid salaries.
"Applicants need not be journalism majors," explained Professor Beth. "Oliver Hughes, our business manager this year, was a business major and is now studying law. Our committee will consider all applications and try to pick the best students for the jobs."

College women were voting heavily at noon today, casting 778 of the 992 ballots. The total for all women not in the College, which includes the Business School, the School of Fine Arts, School of Engineering and Architecture, was 214. Election board members were surprised at the early strength of the vote and stated that usually the heavy voting occurred later in the afternoon.
Counting of the ballots will not begin until 7 o'clock tonight. Since the process of counting is complicated by the proportional representation system of voting, the outcome will probably not be known until late tonight.
Men were surprised to find that they could vote for the amendment to the constitution which states that "Group members on the All-Student Council shall vote on all issues except those on which an objection of 25 per cent of the elected representatives is voiced. They shall, however, possess all other rights and responsibilities of discussion and introduction of bills and of fair representation on Council committees."
At both polling places the total count of men ballots was 43 by 2 o'clock and the majority of the votes were in favor of the passage of the amendment. Women's votes on the amendment won't be counted until 7 tonight.
Patchen To Present Recital Tomorrow
Janis Patchen will present her senior violin recital at 8 o'clock tomorrow night in Fraser theater, Dean D. M. Swarthout has announced. Max Hughes will be the accompanist.

Allies To Decide Refugees' Fate
Washington, (INS)—A high authority yesterday disclosed that a total of 600,000 European political refugees have been permitted to enter the United States since Adolf Hitler came to power ten years ago.
Approximately 250,000 have been brought into this country during the past three years.
This is one of the main reasons why further mass movements of European refugees to this country in the near future will be opposed by the U. S. delegation to the Anglo-American refugee conference, which oened in Bermuda yesterday.
Establish Temporary Camps
In view of the large number of refugees already brought into this country, and the strictness of the American immigration laws, this government believes that an effort should be made to establish temporary camps for the persecuted peoples of Europe in neutral European countries as well as in Africa and the Middle East.
Shortage of shipping and the heavy demands of the allied war effort are considered by American officials to make it extremely difficult to transport thousands of refugees from Europe to this hemisphere.
Another controlling factor behind American oposition to the movement of large numbers of refugees to this country is the difficulty of transporting them across the Atlantic.
Danger of the refugee ships being attacked by Axis submarines also is viewed as an important reason why efforts should be made to provide camps for the persecuted peoples on the other side of the Atlantic.
The government is prepared to join with the other United Nations in helping to finance the maintenance of such refugee camps, providing private relief organizations share in the cost.
The American government also considers it advisable to provide temporary asylum for the refugees as near as possible to the areas in which they are now, so that they may be returned to their homelands with the greatest expedition following the termination of hostilities. Move Refugees to North Africa
One of the questions which will be discussed at the Bermuda conference will be the possibility of moving political refugees from Spain to North Africa.
There are known to be thousands of French. Polish, Greek, Czechoslovakian and other political refugees in Spanish concentration camps. Spain is believed to be willing to release them providing arrangements can be made for them to proceed to North Africa.

Publishers Meet In New York
NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION
1943 Active Member
New York, (INS)—War-born problems of manpower shortages, newspaper restrictions, transportation curbs, and rising publishing costs lead the list of subjects to be discussed by America's publishers meeting this week in New York.
The multiple problems of getting out a newspaper have risen sharply since the 56th annual convention of the American Newspaper Publishers' association a year ago, and discussions will explore many angles of those problems.
The first general session of the ANPA will open tomorrow when problems of newspapers in the upo-50,000 circulation group will be discussed, but today the circulation committee of the association is meeting to talk over labor problems.
A number of independent organization meetings, traditionally held in connection with the ANPA convention also will open, among them, the 14th annual convention of the National Newspaper Promotion Association.
Beating the gun on all the press meetings, the American Society of Newspaper Editors of which Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star, is president, held its annual directors' meeting yesterday to clear its calendar for the ANPA sessions.
During its sessions, the ANPA will elect four officers and five directors. Linwood I. Noyes of the Ironwood, Mich., Globe, currently vice president, is expected to succeed Walter M. Dear, co-publisher of the Jersey City, N.J., Journal as president.
Japan Is Most Dangerous, Says Australian Minister
New York, (INS)—Dr. Herbert Evatt, Australian foreign minister, asserted yesterday that there would be a "most violent objection" to a strategic policy involving the "futher consolidation of Japanese gains." Asserting, however, that the allied high command's policy of "Beat Hitler first" does not involve "so drastic a consequence," "Doctor Evatt told a news conference that Japan, rather than Hitler, "offers the most dangerous threat to the European, or the Australian, or the American way of life."

Edward Hable Trains To Navigate Clipper
Edward J. Hable, who was graduated from the University in 1937, is undergoing flight training at La Guardia Field, N.Y.
Mr. Hable joined Pan American Airways Atlantic division in 1941 as a flight steward and transferred recently to the navigation section. Before joining Pan American he served on ocean-going ships and was employed in hospitals, and hotels. He has studied three forms of navigation used in directing clippers along their transatlantic supply routes, radio, celestial, and dead reckoning. He has also completed training in meteorology and in the use of the ship's emergency equipment.
When he has finished 250 hours of air time aboard flying clippers, Mr. Hable will be qualified to navigate one of the over-ocean flying boats.
AAUW Will Give Benefit Dance
The Lawrence branch of the American Association of University Women are planning a dance and game room benefit April 30 open to the public. Mrs. F. P.

"A few fellows had been hurt in the explosion, but all hands were accounted for. When the captain saw the ship wouldn't stay afloat, he gave the order to abandon," Campbell added.
Loses Exam Papers
"Sharks were all around the boats—so close you could touch them, and finally our gunnery officer started shooting to disperse them. Some of these fish looked as long as our boat . . . a destroyer picked us up in three hours."
Midshipman Campbell, who attended the University of Pennsylvania, has a special score to even up with the Nazis: lost with the ship were examination papers it had taken him seven months to complete.

BASERALL SEASON OPENED TODAY
By Matt Heuertz
This afternoon saw the official opening of the major leagues' baseball season. War man-power commission man, Paul V. McNutt was scheduled to pitch the first ball in the Philadelphia Athleties-Washington Senators game in Griffith stadium in the Capitol city. President Roosevelt declined the honor of pitching the first ball because of pressing war business. Why McNutt was chosen for the job over the members of the President's cabinet is not known. But the fact that McNutt had much to say about the future of war-time baseball probably had a lot to do with the choice of the official opening hurler.

TRACK MEET MONOPOLY
Saturday's Interscholastic Track and Field Meet turned out to be a day of monopolization of firsts. Billy Grimes, 19-year old dashman from Ashland, captured three firsts in the Class B 100, 220, and 440-yard dashes; Linwood Sexton, 17-year old Negra sprinter from Wichita East, took the Class A 100 and 220-yard dashes; Tom Dawson, senior for Shawnee-Mission won both the Class A high and low hurdles; Don Lowman of Bentley, Class B champion, came home first in the Class B high and low hurdles; and Bururton High School took the Class B and half-mile and medley relays.
*****
SURPRISE AND DISAPPOINTMENT
*****
The surprise of the afternoon was registered by the Bentley team which brought only four boys to the meet but ran off with the championship laurels. Bentley High School, down near Wichita, had only 30 boys in school from which to pick a track team.
The second class of signal corps training students containing 44 members arrived yesterday and began classes today in Blake hall.

London, (INS) — An American flying fortress—complete with crew—today was British Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery's personal airplane because his eight army captured Sfax four days before he wagered it would.
The Daily Express, in a dispatch from Sousse, said the plane and crew were turned over to the fighting general Saturday, and told this story:
Two months ago, dining with some unidentified American generals, "Monty" asked them:
"What will you give me if I take Sfax by April 15?"
The Americans, believing such a feat improbable, said they would give him anything he wanted.
Montgomery asked for—and got a fortress complete with its crew.

Student Loans Drop 50 Per Cent at M.U
Columbia, Mo. (INS)—Loans made to its students by University of Missouri have dropped 50 per cent since September. Financial aid formerly provided to between 500 and 600 students yearly is now required by only half that number of students. Total amount of the loans which once ranged from $45,000 to $60,000 a year, is at present around $25,000.
KAPPA ETA KAPPA . . .
The drop is mainly attributable to the falling off of school enrollment However, an increase in summer employment paying extremely high wages has a great deal to do with it. Miss Christine Hauschild, manager of the student financial aid service of the University, explained. Many students who look forward to getting jobs in defense plants this year are thus avoiding the need to borrow money to return to college in the fall.

The paper, in a Madrid dispatch, said Messe's report created a sensation in Rome. The Italian general was quoted as declaring that he could have saved the Mareth line if he had been in command.

Except for sustained air attacks by Allied craft there was little change in the Tunisian situation as American, British, and French forces consolidated their positions for the all-out blow against Tunis and Bizerte expected before many weeks have passed.

New U-Boat Hideouts Are Being Built
London, (INS)—The London Daily Express in a dispatch from "the axis frontier" yesterday said that new U-boat hideouts are being hurriedly constructed on the French coast as the result of destruction caused by recent allied bombing raids on St. Nazaire and Lorient.
The Express said that at Havre thousands of workmen are building bomb-proof concrete roofs and docks while at Bordeaux work on a new submarine base is being rushed.
According to one unconfirmed report, 100-foot submarines also are being dismantled at the U-boat bases in Northern France, shipped overland to Marseilles and there re-assembled before being put into service in the Mediterranean.

So-Called 'Red Menace' Is False Threat Used By German Propagandists on U.S.
Communists are trouble-makers; they want the government to own everything, and they want to own the government; they are Godless and violent, so they are a menace. Since they have a red flag, wear red, baggy trousers, and are called "reds", they are a "Red Menace." Who are they a menace to? Why, to Europe, of course, and to everybody. How are they a menace? Why, they're going to drive the Germans right up to Berlin, and, then, instead of going back home, they're going to camp all over Europe. When is all this going to happen? Why, right away, if the United States and Great Britain don't end this war and let Germany hold them back.
This is what Herr Joseph Goebbels, Germany's propaganda minister, wants Americans and British to believe. Though his warnings are more adroitly worded; they are actually no more ingenious than this. The fact that the "Red Menace" actually is a potent threat has been made shamefully apparent by editorial echoing of Herr Goebbels in this country.
Communist Russia is allied with the United States and Britain in a war to halt German aggression and is driving from her own soil an army which actually is "camped all over Europe." This should be sufficient to silence her antagonists. Is the term "ally" merely an expedient?
Communists have never attempted to overthrow this government or that of Great Britain. Their power in this country is relatively slight as is evidenced by their complete lack of representation in Congress and the decisive defeats administered their perennial candidate for president, Earl Browder. It is only of late that their strength has assumed more than minor importance in Great Britain, where their growing power is attributed to the service they have rendered in this war.
Russia wants to become great through the peaceful exploitation of her own economic resources, not through conquest of those of other nations—she does not need them. But this cannot be accomplished until she has destroyed the menace which has disrupted this industrialization program for over two years, the "German Menace," which is the menace her allies should be worrying about, instead of listening to the rantings of alarmists—particularly when the chief alarmist is a German!—P.J.
Then there is the threat that the Red Army may "camp all over Europe." This is not feasible, for the simple reason that Russia needs all her manpower to develop the vast resources of her own country, a process which has been interrupted by two wars. The Red Army is not the imperialistic sword-juggling army of the czar; neither is it a group of professional soldiers as the backbone of the German army. It is a group of workers which was forced to fight and had to learn war strategy the hard way through the experience of the first Russian campaign. These men were not trained for war but for industry. The Russian army of occupation, which Herr Goebbels warns its allies against, is primarily an army of industrial occupation.
Just Wondering
How many students know there is a penalty for picking flowers on the University campus.
American Youth Do Not Give Up In Final Stages of Any Task
---
With only approximately three weeks left, the end of an uncertain, confused, and troubled school year is rapidly drawing near. From the middle of last September until now, the future of many students has been only a question mark shadowed by doubts and fears of what tomorrow might bring. Men students have been afraid to make plans, and those few who have made them have often seen their ideas crumble as their school days have been substituted by militarv service.
Many of the remaining students know that at the end of school they will be called for duty, and an attitude that is easy to adopt for the last few weeks seems to be "What's the use? Another three weeks and it won't make any difference whether I studied or not," is the common attitude. So lessons are neglected, duties are slighted, and students sit with folded hands waiting for the next three weeks to go by.
It is easy to see how this pattern of thought might be adopted after a student has worked toward that job he wants, and now at the last minute sees it swept aside as he goes out to fight. But where will this attitude get him? Where will such an attitude get anyone?
By your deeds today, are your actions of tomorrow determined. Would any American youth give up his part in a battle three weeks before it was over? It isn't the American spirit to give up no matter what the task may be—a job, school, athletic sport, or war. It's a fight to the finish—not just to the last three weeks.
It isn't for the benefit of the school that students are urged to keep on with their work and to put forth their best efforts. It is the student's record that will be affected by these last few weeks, and that record will not be changeable once it is made. So stick with your work, do your part, and when you leave be able to say, "I did my best—through the very last day."

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
Ye old time religion: When Phi Bet initiation duties were passed out last Saturday night, Boydon Crouch, medic pledge, found himself charged with the task of holding a revival meeting in Johnny's.
Crouch spoke convincingly on the evils of liquor and tobacco, and at least half of his largely sailor audience didn't catch the satire of it all.
After 15 minutes, tears were in the eyes of the bluejackets who "hadn't written their poor old mothers," and the walls of the place rang with the Hallelujah Chorus.
* * * *
Pass the bottle: Harry Jennison alone, another Phi Bet initiate, considered the revival unsuccessful. Jennison, as the example of what never touching even tea and coffee will do for one, angelically passed the hat.
He didn't even collect enough for a tall beer.
****
If she knew she probably wouldn't even go: This is verified Phi Delt chatter before a recent steak fry. Three of the boys were getting ready. "I'm gonna wear jeans. What're you gonna wear?" "I'm gonna wear jeans, too." "You are! Well, gosh! What'll Jean wear?"
Wherefore Art Thou, Romco: Max Wymore, Battenfeld, was visiting a cadet friend at the TKE house when some official-looking person blew in and announced—for a reason that seemed logical enough—that everybody in the house was quarantined for spinal meningitis.
Not quite having time to be locked up for two weeks, Wymore sought refuge with the aid of his friend in a dark, dusty, and mouse-infested attic closet.
A guard had been put on both doors, he was informed, so it would be necessary to get air from outside via a small window. His friend promised to call Battenfeld and request a posse and a ladder.
Wymore stayed in the closet for two hours at the end of which time—judging from the purplish hue of his face—the possibility of asphyxiation was much too concrete a thing to joke with. So the cadets told Wymore maybe if he was careful he could sneak out the back way without being shot dead.
A minute after this announcement, Wymore, halfway up the hill, ran into four Battenfeld boys struggling down with a huge ladder.
Cadets consider the joke 100% successful.

This occurrence might have taken place today . . . stranger things have happened!
"It's the twentieth of April!" barked the editor of the Kansan. "You know what that means," she growled, turning to a reporter. "Get on it! I want an interview—pictures—personal story. No excuses—get it! If you don't," she leaned forward cruelly, I'll see to it that you're made managing editor of this But get this story or paper next year."
Until this last threat, the affable reporter had been chewing calmly on a piece of gum (from a friend in the army, no doubt) and leaning languidly back in his chair as the editor raged. At the last remark flung at him, however, the reporter leaped to his feet. "School Be Damned"
"You can't do that!" he squeaked, his throat suddenly dry. "Td planned to go to school here next year."
The editor paused, put one hand on the desk, the other on her hip, and frowned intently at the reporter.
"School be damned!" she shouted.

All Exits Are Barred
The reporter glanced about desperately, but all exits were barred. Other reporters with derisively grinning faces surrounded him. He swallowed painfully.

The editor watched him a moment "Action!" she roared. "Action, or you're a dead duck!"
He would have preferred that ...

Taft Demands Probe Of U.S. Propaganda
Washington, (INS)—Senator Robert A. Taft, (R) of Ohio, introduced a resolution in the Senate today calling for an investigation of U.S. propaganda distributed to foreign nations and American troops abroad because of "ugly rumors" that the propaganda is "futile and idiotic."
Under his proposal, the Office of War Information and the Director of Inter-American affairs would be forced to file
Under his proposal, the Offi Coordinator of Inter-American with the Senate copies of all propaganda issued by the war agencies. Taft, echoing earlier words of Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D) of Wyoming, said that he wanted to know, too, what commitments and promises are being made to the world in propaganda broadcasts.
Taft Calls For Investigation
He offered his resolution as the Senate Judiciary Committee met to consider a resolution by O'Mahoney calling for a sweeping investigation of the Office of War Information and other government information agencies in Washington.
The committee voted to invite OWI Director Elmer Davis to hold his next news conference at the capitol in the presence of committee members.
Davis, at the conference, will face not only the Washington newspaper corps but a barrage of questions from Senators. The conference, which may be held late in the week, was expected to be followed by committee action approving the O'-Mahoney resolution.
Anxious About Commitments
O'Mahoney declared that he was particularly anxious to learn what commitments—"moral or otherwise"—were being made by the OWI in its news releases intended for distribution abroad.
Taft, in offering his resolution said:
"Our government is spending millions of dollars today on short wave propaganda to foreign countries in every conceivable language and for the distribution of printed matter throughout the world.
'The People Want To Know'
"It is obvious to me that the people of the United States want to know what is being said in their behalf—what promises are being made, what statements of national policy are being disseminated throughout the world.
"Ugly rumors are abroad that much of this short wave broadcasting is futile and idiotic and very inferior to that of other nations. It is said that some of it is Communist, and some of it is Fascist, and that much of it tries to play European politics — about which we know nothing—instead of presenting the American point of view.
VOT'S IT TO YOU?--he wanted to see the boss. For some reason, he was admitted. He shifted uncomfortably on the hard seats in the waiting room. He noticed an older man also waiting in the opposite corner of the room. Desiring only to be friendly, he cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted across the abyss, "Nice day, er—isn't it?"
(continued from page six) heliocopter toward the large building. His knees were weak; his face, pale. "This is the fatal test," he kept drilling into his mind. "My greatest experience." He got little consolation in that.
The reporter was surprised to see that no gala banners hung outside the building and that the atmosphere was deadly still. He felt suddenly ill at ease and had the desire to turn and run. "Oh, no you don't!" he reprimanded himself, thinking of the consequence of failure.
'It's April 20th'
He accosted the blank, straight-
backed guard. He explained that
The man sniffed frigidly.
"It's April 20," the reporter continued in a somewhat strained voice. Hitler Keeps It Quiet
At this the man nervously arose, looked fearfully about him and made a dash to the door. Before he closed the door behind him, he whispered hoarsely, "Sssssssh, HE doesn't want anyone to know he's 54 today."
The reporter sat back worriedly. This bit of information definitely put a damper on his quest; but before he had time to contemplate further, the majestic door was open and he was bade enter.
The reporter haltingly entered the room and glanced about him. Seeing no one who appeared harmful, he took a deep breath and nonchalantly ambled about. "Just like interviewing Roosevelt," he comforted himself. "Nothing to it."
Congress Gets Easter Vacation As Taxes Wait
"Why Is You Comt To See Me?"
At this moment a weak voice from a huge, pillow-laden couch drew his attention. "You iss comt to see me? Why?"
The reporter looked carefully. Somewhere among those pillows was a man -the man. The reporter peered earnestly and spoke softly.
Washington, (INS)—Senators were told that they could go home for the Easter holiday but that there is little chance for a real vacation until mid-summer because of the rush for a new tax bill.
"If the House can pass a tax bill by Wednesday of this week, it would reach us Thursday and then would be referred to the finance committee and how long consideration there would take would depend on the kind of a bill passed by the House," said Sen. Barkley (D) Ky., Majority Leader.
"I see no possibility of consideration of a bill, this week," he added, informing members of the Senate they might be free to return to their homes, with the understanding they would return immediately upon notice the Senate is ready to take up the bill.
Sen. McNary (R) of Oregon, minority leader, said it was his hope that major legislation could be disposed of soon and an adjournment taken in mid-summer.
"Today is your birthday, isn't it?"
"Today is your birthday, isn't it?"
"Silence!" came the voice. "I haff no birthdays. I nefer grow olt. I am not vifty-vour if I'm a day. Vot's it to you?"
At this the black hair, drawn over one eye, and the small black mustache peered out with a man under them.
"Vot say?" he shouted. "You mean because you don't get dis
The reporter stood and sweat for nearly a half hour trying to get the man to talk. At last in despair the reporter howled, "I'm sunk. Now I'll be managing editor of the Kansas for sure! Oh, you cruel man. All the things I've heard about you are true!"

The senate judiciary committee scheduled a formal meeting to consider a resolution by Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D) Wyo., providing for a probe of OWI and other government agencies furnishing information to radio and press. Approval seemed assured.
O'Mahoney said that the resignation of the OWI writers was one reason why he asked for the investigation. The writers, including such prominent men as Pulitzer Prize winner Henry F. Pringle and New

TUESDAY, APRIL 20,1943
Washington, (INS)—Paul V. McNutt, mampower head, disclosed today that amendments are being prepared to his job-wage control order to permit essential workers in areas without employment stabilization programs to transfer to higher paying jobs.
McNutt Amends Job-Wage Order To Allow Change
These "interim" regulations, he told a news conference, will authorize the 3400 local United States Employment service offices to grant "certificates of availability" to workers in essential industries seeking to change jobs.
Transfers Will Be Allowed
Permission to shift employment will be granted by the employment offices when they are convinced that the transfers are in the interest of the war effort, McNutt said.
Similar transfers are now permissible for workers in the 60 areas where employment stabilization programs are now in effect. Transfers are authorized, regardless of wages, when the woker can show that he is not being utilized at the highest scale or that his present job is being injurious to his health or that he cannot get to work because of transportation problems.
Workers Could Not Transfer
However, workers in the nonsubstitution areas—under McNutt's order as originally issued—had no way of obtaining permission to transfer to another job at a higher salary. They could shift employment only at the same rate of pay.
"We are not trying to hurt anybody," McNutt said. "We are only trying to support a policy which we have had from the outset of controlling hiring and doing away with the tremendous labor turnover in all industries."
Davis To Address Senate Group
Washington, (INS)—Elmer Davis, director of the Office of War Information, today accepted the suggestion of Senator Joseph P. O'Mahoney (D) of Wyoming, that he conduct his next news conference before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The conference will be held Wednesday.

Stock Wants Pope At Peace Conference
Chicago, (INS) — Declaring the Vatican is the best listening post in the world. Dr. Leo F. Stock yesterday advocated early resumption of formal diplomatic relations with the Vatican and the invitation of Pope Pius to the peace conference.
Dr. Stock, former associate professor of American History and now chairman of the American Historical Association, spoke before the Charles Carroll Forum in Chicago.
He pointed out that there now are 12 ambassadors and 25 ministers accredited to the Vatican in addition to Myron F. Taylor, President Roosevelt's ambassador extraordinary. He added:
"The Vatican is the best listening post in the world. It has the best intelligence service and means of gathering information from all corners—means not possible for any nation. The importance of maintaining contact with such a news center cannot be overestimated.
"That the chances for a just and enduring peace would be more likely to succeed if the Pope should be invited to sit at the peace table cannot be questioned."

Food Scarcity Is Predicted By Government
Washington, (INS) A darker food picture today faced the American civilian population, with the agriculture department estimating that food will be even more scarce than was expected several months ago.

Some commodities may be available in slightly larger quantities however, such as canned fruits, vegetables and sugar.
vegetables are some of the estimated reductions based on latest reports on crops, farm supplies and new demands from the armed services and lend-lease.
Meat: from 138 pounds per capita annually to 124 pounds.
Fish: from 9.1 to 8.6 pounds
Fish: from 9.1 to 8.6 pounds.

WRITERS TO TELL---
(continued from page seven) York publisher Harold K. Guinzburg, said in a statement:
"We are leaving (The OWI) because of our conviction that it is impossible for us, under those who now control our output, to tell the full truth."
The group refused to give the exact reason why its members quit the government service, but it has been reported widely in Washington that they did not agree on the manner in which information on the country's food supply was made known. They declined to disclose whether the food report was made more optimistic than real facts on the food situation warrant.

Papers Question War Restrictions
New York, (INS)—The nation's newspapers are apprehensive of the motives behind some of the war-time restrictions imposed on them, the president of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association asserted today.
In a speech prepared for the opening of the first general session of the ANPA convention in New York, Walter M. Dear,
publisher of the Jersey City (N. J.) Journal, said, "While we must acquiesce in restrictive practices in the name of war necessity, we cannot escape the apprehension that frequently these restrictions are imposed with a motive that does not augur well for the future of a free press. The axiom that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance has lost none of its validity.
News Print Cut
Dear mentioned in particular that the allotment of news print had already been cut once and might be cut again. He added, "With government on one hand imposing restrictive measures in the use of paper because of scarcity and prior demands of war necessities, and with our acquiescence in increased price, it strains the limits of patience to note that the government itself is the principal offender in wasteful practices in the use of paper."
Of the labor situation in the industry he said that publishers have "every reason to regard the future with real concern."
Speaking particularly of the war manpower executive order, Dear asserted, "We do not seek to evade our share of this burden (of increased expense and crippled production) but we cannot refrain from voicing our fears that a too literal interpretation of the war manpower orders would be calamitous through the enforced discontinuance of numerous newspapers."
Dear Calls Appropriation
Turning to a proposal in Congress for an appropriation of 25 to 30 million dollars to be divided between daily and weekly newspapers for treasury advertising, Dear declared, "This provision smacks of subsidy, . . such a program would prove disastrous. Under such circumstances, no longer could the American newspaper maintain its claim of a free and independent press."
Reporting that treasury advertising would be welcomed by the newspapers on the same basis as any other advertising, he continued, "However, government advertising must be safeguarded from political influence and directed by independent advertising experts who have demonstrated their ability and the confidence in which they are held by the newspapers. This may sound Utopian but in our judgment, it is the only fundamentally sound basis on which government advertising can operate."
In addition to the president's report, the convention heard the reports of its special and standing committees and also witnessed presentation of awards in the ANPA monograph contest.

Top Executives Tour For Pan-Americanism
Mr. Roosevelt created this latest of a long list of precedent-shattering records when he crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico, while aware that Vice President Wallace was in South America.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull might have been acting president for a few hours except for the fact that Mr. Roosevelt remained in constant touch with the white house in Washington.
Government Proceeds As Usual
President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in Mexico as the guest of President Manuel Avila Comacho of that nation. Vice-President Henry A. Wallace was in South America on a good-will tour. would succeed to the presidency if both dewnt
The business of government went on as usual in the capital. Neither the president nor Wallace forfeited the power to direct their offices. Nominally, a secretary of state
would succeed to the presidency if both the president and vice-president were unable to perform the duties of the first office of the land.
Constitutional and legal experts explained, however, that there was nothing in the law of succession of 1886 to prevent Mr. Roosevelt or Wallace from leaving the country, and still holding their offices.
President Leaves Surreptitiously
There was no outward show at the White House that the president was gone until it was announced that he was speaking in Monterrey, 1,800 miles from "home." The same number of soldiers were on duty at the executive mansion, and a person strolling down Pennsylvania Ave. rue could not tell whether the president was in or out.

Easter Weekend Ahead Will See Few on Campus
The weather seems unpredictable for the Easter weekend but a mass exodus is expected, anyway. Students will crowd on the trains tomorrow for Kansas City and various parts of the state. In the suitcases of coeds will be new Easter clothes, though the traditional bonnet
will be carried carefully in the hand or worn.
Remember that frat brother you used to have bull sessions with long months ago before he went into the service—well, why forget him now? Keep up his morale by keeping in touch with him.
This is exactly what the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity is doing. Twice a month the Business Men's Credit Exchange publishes a magazine called "Tall Tales." This magazine is a news letter and includes interesting happenings on the Hill, news of the chapter, marriages, engagements, and even personal massages. The magazine is sent to members of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity who are in service, as well as other alumni of the chapter.
An outstanding feature of the publication is that it contains all the names and addresses of those of the chapter who are in the armed forces. This is an excellent method of keeping the boys informed of the news on the home front.

Kansas Wins Baker Loses First Meet In 18 Starts
Bv J. DONALD KEOWN
Baldwin City, April 21—Led by versatile Valle Schloesser, only returning letterman from the 1942 Kansas track team, Coach Henry Shenk's trackmen today swamped Emil Liston's Baker Wildcats by a top-heavy $93\frac{1}{4}$ to $37\frac{3}{4}$ count. Schloesser, winning two events and tying for first in another, contributed 17 points to the Jayhawk total $ ^{ \textcircled{8}} $
The defeat was the first loss for Baker on their home field in 18 starts. The Wildcat crew was completely swamped in the running events and in the jumps, being able to collect points only in the hurdles and the weights—where their ace shot and discus man, Gorby Martin, took two firsts. Charley Sloop, football backfield phenom, took one of the two other Baker firsts, with a victory in the high hurdles, while Hardesty collected the fourth Baker blue-ribbon in the iavelin throw.
Aiding Schloesser in the Kansas victory, was little dashman Gene Lea, who collected 13 points. Other Kansas winners were Bob Dole in the 440-yard dash, Bill Haines in the half-mile, Jack Moore in the mile, Russ Mount in the two-mile, Tom Scofield in the high jump, and Jimmy Walker, tied for first in the pole vault. Walker narrowly escaped serious injury when his pole cracked on a vaulting try.
The Kansas half-mile relay four-some, sparked by a brilliant 220 by Bill Cole, easily defeated the Baker quartet in the only relay ran off during the afternoon. Henry Track Causes Slow Times
Heavy Track Causes Slow Times
Times in the most of the afternoon's events were comparatively slow with the track being slightly heavy from recent rains. A strong
wind and chilly rain also hampered the athletes.
Gene Roberts, star Jayhawk dashman, was declared ineligible for the meet, since he is not carrying the required 12 hours this semester. The Wildcat squad was also hampered by ineligibilities.
Results of the meet follow:
100-yard dash—Won by Schloeser, Kansas; second, Lea, Kansas; third, Johnson, Kansas. Time-10.2 seconds.
220-yard dash—Won by Lea, Kansas; second, Dole, Kansas; third, Miller, Baker. Time—23.6 seconds.

COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT
Off and on throughout this semester we have received complaints from persons who feel that the particular sports that they are interested in are slighted in the sports section of this paper. We have no other choice but to acknowledge the fact; but, there is not much that we can do about it.
The department of journalism has probably been hit as hard, if not harder, by the loss of members to the various services, as has any department in the University.
CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE
- * * *
Last fall when the present college year began, we had about as large a group of students enrolled in journalism courses as in previous years. But since September many changes have taken place up here in the Shack. One of those changes came in the man-power supply which has been cut more than half in less than seven months of school, with the result that the remaining journalists have been forced to double their efforts to keep the Kansan coming off the press on schedule.
Among the men whom we have lost are Chuck Elliott, Milo Farneti, and Alan Houghton, all former sports editors. When we lost them we lost three of our best sports writers. Yes, we admit that we are failing to cover campus sports as they should be covered—we no longer have enough reporters.

KANSAN IS NOT A CLOSED SHOP
If those persons, who feel that their favorite sports are not receiving any or not enough publicity, wish to do sports reporting, we would appreciate it. The Kansan is not a "closed shop"; any University student, regardless of his classification, may do reporting work or hold staff positions on the paper. We would appreciate certain members of the student body showing a helpful attitude rather than a merely critical one.

Roosevelt Inspects Tulsa Bomber Plant
Tulsa, Okla., (INS)—President Roosevelt inspected the new mile-long Douglas bomber airplane assembly plant at Tulsa Monday after reviewing the 88th infantry division at Camp Gruber late Sunday.
His visit was made while enroute to a meeting with Mexican President Manuel Avila Camacho at Monterrey, and in the
course of his second war-time inspection tour of military camps and war plants.
President Roosevelt's motorcade drove up and down the two assembly lines of the plant as many of the 1700 workers—nearly half of them women—laid down their tools and cheered.
The chief executive saw the famous four-motor Liberator bombers on the assembly line, and later, in the paint shop, saw them painted a dull battle grey.
Sees Liberator Bombers
The plant, completed in May, 1942, has been turning out Consolidated bombers and single-engine dive bombers in volume ever since. The enbies for the multi-engined fighting ships are delivered to the plant, 10 miles outside Tulsa, from the Ford Willow Run plant.
President Roosevelt, at a news conference aboard his special train, declared that production at the Tulsa plant was stepping up because greater deliveries of parts are now being made from Willow Run.
Visits Camp Gruber
At Camp Gruber, 20 miles from Muskogee, Okla., the President mounted a review stand where he watched the entire 88th infantry division—15,000 strmog—march by.
At the conclusion of the review, Mr. Roosevelt was taken to an enlisted men's mess, where he had dinner with 200 privates representing all the units at the camp.
Eating regular "G.I." food along with the men, President Roosevelt found the meal to his liking and asked for second helpings.

Post-War Police Force Needs Support If Nations Plan To Have Future Peace
Only one-fourth of the members of the United States senate answered "yes" when recently asked whether or not they favored the idea of the Senate pledging itself and the U.S. Government to aid now in post-war peace enforcement by participation in an international police force.
Thirty-two members of the senate, one-third of the total, voted a flat "no" to this question, 32 others were too uncertain to give a definite answer; the remaining eight were not present when the poll was taken.
The results of this poll show only too well that the upper house of Congress has still not reconciled itself to the view that isolation can lead only to a third world war and disaster. They are paving the way for the United States to take the same road and the same attitude as after the last war, leading to rejection of the League of Nations and contributing in a great part to the catastrophic war we are now fighting.
The fact that 24 members voted yes to this forward question is encouraging, but the flat "no" votes and the uncertainties are of far graver consequence. The argument given by those who would reject the plan is that "it is too soon to tie the government down with such commitments. Such an argument shows only the blind stupidity that has led many of our leaders from one blundering mistake to another. In truth, we are too late-25 years too late—to pledge the United States to such a policy, and millions of boys, including our own are dying as a result.
The United States gave these backward "leaders" their chance to formulate a sound political and economic basis for peace after the last war and they failed miserably. Now, of necessity, we have only one sensible alternative—to pledge ourselves to the support of the international police force as the most sensible suggestion for the maintenance of world peace that has yet been offered. It deserves a trial, and it's up to such men as our senators to see that it gets it.
With 24 men outright supporting the plan and 32 definitely against it, the "uncertain" votes will be the deciding issue. The people—mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and wives of our fighting men—must make these men understand that they will not stand for any such policy as that following World War I. If they fail, the world may well resign itself to the third phase of world war, even more devastating and terrible than that now in progress. If the United States is going to insist on being a world leader it must take steps to show that it is deserving to be one.
An immediate and positive "yes" to the question of our co-operation would give new hope to the "under dogs" of the world who are looking to this country for a new life of lasting peace and a right to share in the world's fortunes. Post-war isolation this time will forever destroy the faith of the world in the word of the United States.—M.B.

--is keeping track of his former students now bucking upward through the crowded ranks of journalism. Recently he had an inquiry from a woman graduate who is an editor of Vogue magazine about a girl to take her place when she resigns. Immediately Mr. Flint searched his files for suitable candidates. In those files are records of every student he has taught—their grades, aptitudes, initiative, and other qualities, plus what they have done since leaving the University.
Just Wondering
How long it will be until we will be scratching our ankles because of the chiggers.
Victory Speakers Give Talent In New Educational Project
The Victory Speakers, under the direction of E. C. Buehler of the department of speech, have gained rapidly in popularity and prominence since the beginning of the new plan this year. Student members of the organization have prepared speeches on current questions and problems pertaining to the war, such as the part of medicine in the war, the fight of Russia, and tank warfare.
After careful preparation of these topics, the speakers make tours to surrounding towns and neighborhoods where they deliver their talks before high schools, assemblies, civic and professional clubs, and other groups. Nearly every weekend, some of the speakers are called upon to appear before some organization to present youthful but well-developed ideas and trends of thought on these important topics.
Professor Buehler, the director of the plan and the students who are taking such an active part in this new development are to be highly complimented on their work and their service to the people. The functioning of such a group has been a need in both college and professional life for many years. Too wide is the gap between the thinking youth and that of older people, and interchanging of ideas is a healthful step in growth toward understanding and cooperation.
Many adults in the professional world, unless directly connected with education in some manner, are likely to lose their way in trying to keep up with the many subjects and ideas on the present world situation. Through such organizations as Victory Speakers these persons can keep in contact with modern education. Such a movement as this deserves the gratitude of both students and townspeople who have benefitted by the presentations of the organization.
May such a plan continue, and may it grow until it becomes a permanent part of youth and adult education.

Rock Chalk Talk
The law catches up with hill politics: George Schick, Hill policeman, was right up there with the candidates of both parties mopping his brow when the polls closed Tuesday. The campaign technique of both parties, he says, was most disconcerting at times. Times such as the morning he caught one fanatic female politician up on top of Uncle Jimmy Green, gluing a wig on the venerated lawyer's bald spot.
The politician's remark when Schick made her shinny down with the wig was the disconcerting part.
One for the radio advertisers: The D.G.'s invited the navy over to the house for an hour dance. They dressed up and waited. But no navy.
A few days later the chapter received a large box containing a great supply of Lux, Lifebuoy, and other of popularity's little necessities. There was a sympathy card attached and a few words about the proverbial hint.
Navy officials are still trying to explain that the stand up came as a result of the lieutenant, through whom the invitation was issued, being transferred before he had a chance to tell anybody and that they did not dispatch the laundry supplies to West Hills.

A little moron story: Tuesday night Jack Filo, Templin, borrowed Les Butterfield's typed list of 66 moron jokes, settled himself on a top bunk, and began to read.
By the end of the first page Pilo's screams and the resounding crack when he slapped his knee at the end of every joke had attracted half the hall.
Everybody was having a wonderful time when things took a more serious turn. Pilo laughed so hard at the stupidity of the little moron who married Hedy Lamarr for her money he fell off the bunk—dislocating two vertabrae.

The informality of it all: Danny Bachmann had hidden Betty Lou Perkins' shoe, and Betty Lou was padding around the Union fountain looking for it. A waiter took up the cause of the stocking-footed Chi O and began questioning customers.
Mr. Werner hurried out.
Upon spotting Henry Werner, adviser of men up in front, he yelled. "Hey, Henry, give this little girl's moccasin back. Where are your manners?"
It looked suspicious and the opinion was taking root in the minds of Union customers that Mr. Werner, supposedly model of all who trod the narrow path, had slipped to the extent of making off with women's wearing apparel, when the shoe was located.
Presenting L. N. Flint Just A Putterer
By DALE ROBINSON
"A putterer" is the way L. N. Flint, professor of journalism and the "Dean of American Journalism Teachers," describes himself. Today, at 67, an age when most men have retired and taken to canes and wheel-chairs, he putters with a myriad of activities and projects; but his chief and all-absorbing puttering is with students.
In the "Shack," which houses the University's department he has trained $ ^{*} $
In the "Shack," which he of journalism, he has trained students whose names now are by-words for the accuracy and extensiveness of American journalism. Every one of these students learned and developed much of his technique while under Professor Flint's supervision.
Raymond Clapper, news analyst; Chet Shaw, managing editor of Newsweek; Jerome Beatty, freelance writer for magazines; Ben Hibbs, editor of the Saturday Evening Post; Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star, president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, and member of the Associated Press board of directors; and dozens of other persons now famous, including many Kansas publishers, started under Professor Flint.
Keeps Track of Former Students A favorite hobby of this educator
Most of his work now is with advertising students, though this is a rather recent phase of journalism instruction at the University. When Leon Nelson Flint came to KU, only the news side of journalism was taught; that fact accounts in part for the preponderance of widely-known graduates in that field as

K U IN SPRING Pasture Into Garden Lilac Lane
By BOB SCHULTHEIS
Beautiful Lilac lane, fundamentally a part of the campus landscaping, has a history almost as long as that of the University itself. For 66 years, the colorful old hedge, has outlined the drive running from Fourteenth street to the southeast corner of the campus directly in front of Watkins hall, Miller hall and the home of Chancellor Deane W. Malott. With the planting of
the original hedge and the gradual addition of others, came the possibility of the Hill's being known as the "lilac campus" of America, and in 1935 the drive was named Lilac lane by the Lawrence city council.
When the University was first established in 1866, Mount Oread was entirely barren, but efforts were soon made to improve its appearance. The first iliac hedge was planted in 1878, during the administration of Chancellor Marvin, by two brothers, Forrest and Joseph Savage, who lived near Lawrence. They were farm- botanists and early Kansas settlers who were especially interested in beautifying the site. Joseph Savage, then a Douglas County Horticultural Society agent, had a daughter, Mrs. Susan Savage Alford, who was one of the University's first students in 1870.
Sprouts Saved From Old Hedge
Sprouts Saved From Old Regions
The hedge flourished for six decades, until the drought of the past few years weakened the bushes and made them unable to withstand the attacks of borers. A long section at the south end of the hedge was practically dead and had to be taken out in 1938. After gardeners started pruning the rest of the lilacs, they found them so badly infested with the borers that they had to uproot the other trees on the Campus.
Fortunately, sprouts had been cut from the lilacs and placed in the greenhouse. These same sprouts, healthy two-year-old plants when the others were removed, were planted where they once grew on the old bushes. So, in the new, the old hedge with its huge roll of lavendar, lives on, still adding springtime beauty to the campus.
In 1937, a double row of lilacs was planted south of the engineering buildings at the west end of the Campus. They were contributed by Mary Neal Smith as a memorial to her father, the late Percy Smith, who was once a Lawence resident. K. U. Hedge Starts Stanford Bush
The lilac hedges on the campus of the Leland Stanford University at Paio Alta, Calif., were started from slips off of the original hedge planted by Mr. Savage. Also the lilacs in the yard of former President Herbert Hoover's home in California have their beginning in our own hedge in front of Fraser hall.
A poem entitled "The Hedge" was written in its honor by Prof. Arlin S. Oling, who taught here many years in the School of Education. It was written as a toast for the annual spring bouquet of the Saturday Nite Club many years ago.
This part of the year has been "Lilac-time at KU" from 1878, and since then has helped make the Hill one of the most beautiful university campuses.
'KU In War'Displays Sent to Schools
Displays showing the University in war and other illustrations of the program of the University have been sent out to high schools over the state, John Kreamer said today.
The high schools receiving these displays are Wyandotte high school, Kansas City, Kan., Hutchinson, Dodge City, Garden City, Syracuse, Winfield, Frankfort, Marysville, Mankato, Jewell, Beloit, Colby, and Oakley.
This project is sponsored by the Students Statewide Activities commission, under the chairmanship of Kreamer. College junior.
Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, announced today that the alumni association will continue a project of this type during the summer and that any student who would like to have these displays sent to his county should notify the alumni office.
PRESENTING---other diversion of this far-from-retired professor. Few textbooks in journalism come out that haven't first been reviewed by him. He has written three texts himself, "The Conscience of a Newspaper," "The Editorial," and "Newspaper Writing for High Schools." These are widely used in classes at the University and elsewhere. Listed in "Who's Who," he has many other accomplishments to his credit.
(continued from page six) compared with those in advertising. But fellow faculty members, and persons who know Professor Flint well, are willing to bet that in a few years K.U. graduates will pop up in some of the most important positions in the advertising field. Example of Sartorial Art
In appearance, Professor Flint is a far cry from the average conception of a "past-middle-age" university professor. Very spruce and erect in stature and carriage, he is one of the best examples of sartorial art on the Jayhawker campus, not excluding students.
Gasoline rationing has practically put Mr. Flint afoot, but he doesn't complain about it. "It's good for me," he exclaims brusquely. At 67, it bothers him not in the least to climb the Hill to the campus, a hill which leaves many a student exhausted and panting.
His suits are cut in the latest mode, though hardly "zootish," and his other clothing is perfectly appointed and matching. His favorite shirt is a recent semi-sport model which can be worn either open or with a tie. He especially likes shirts with two pockets, for when he "putters" in his garden, house, or study, he needs a number of knives, clippers, and pens; and he has a hard time finding carrying room for all of them.
Incidentally, the view from Professor Flint's office is something he wouldn't trade for anything. Looking south over the Wakarusa Valley, his office commands a wide panorama.
Author of Three Texts
Reading publishers' proofs is another diversion of this far-from-retired professor. Few textbooks in journalism come out that haven't first been reviewed by him. He has written three texts himself, "The Conscience of a Newspaper," "The Editorial," and "Newspaper Writing for High Schools." These are widely used in classes at the University and elsewhere. Listed in "Who's Who," he has many other accomplishments to his credit.
Alumna Appointed WAAC First Officer
First Officer Katherine Stull, former Muskogee, Okla., newspaper woman, now Public Relations Officer at First WAAC Training Center, Fort Des Moines, Iowa, has been appointed to the rank of First Officer, the WAAC rank equivalent of an Army Captain.
Before enrolling in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, she was on the staff of the Daily Phoenix and Times Democrat papers of Muskogee.
First Officer Stull was graduated from the University in 1924 and was a member of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority. Her newspaper career started in college when she wrote for the Lawrence Journal-World. She was later a cub reporter on the Wichita Eagle.
Omaha Has Information Service
A new war information service for women at the University of Omaha will answer questions relating to fields and opportunities for women's service in war $ _{r} $ business, and industry.
There's only one respect in which this spry old gentleman will admit he is not as good as ever. Of recent years his hearing has become less acute, and in class he wears an electric hearing aid. Noisy, rumbling presses in the Journalism building account partly for his wearing the aid. In ordinary conversation, and over the telephone, he can hear well without it.
More than 1100 young persons have graduated in journalism under him. In June of 1941, more than 300 students, alumni, and friends paid tribute to him at a dinner in honor of his 25 years of service as head of the department of journalism at the University. Then 65 years old, Professor Flint had been connected with the department for 35 years, and had been chairman since 1916. Letters from outstanding men in the journalism profession everywhere were received by him on the eve of his retirement as chairman of the department.
Young in body, he is also young in spirit. Highlights of each year for Mr. Flint are the two or three dinners which the journalism department puts on. In the nature of "Gridiron Club" dinners, these affairs have quite frank discussions of professors and students. He gives and takes with the freshest young cub in Reporting I. One year he was presented with a bathing-girl calendar, because, said its donors, "Of all the men in the department, he will appreciate it most."
Young in Spirit
In the words of Dr. Frank Luther Mott, dean of the School of Journalism of Missouri University, in a letter to Professor Flint at this time: "When one thinks of education for journalism, there a few names which immediately come to mind . . . yours is one of the first of such names."
Vice-Versa ★★★ Dentists Fear Children
Chicago, (INS) - It has been known from time immemorial that youngsters have been afraid of dentists, but it came out today, probably for the first time, that the dentists are even more scared of the kids.
Dr. Walter McBride, professor pedodontia (children's dentistry) at the University of Detroit, confessed to the fears of his profession in an address before the Chicago Dental Society.
"Children are a sort of hoodoo to the dental profession," he said. "They're sort of pedodontial gremlins, if you get what I mean. They are hard to manage, difficult to work on—and there's not much money in it."
They're good prospects for future patients when they grow up, though, he admitted.
International Relations Club Meets for Last Time
The International Relations Club met for the last time this year in Officers Club of the Memorial Union building Tuesday evening. Edward Hansen and Richard Todd, representatives to the International Relations Club regional conference held at Indianola, Iowa, April 9-10 gave reports on the conference.

WPB Must Approve College Lab Orders
Washington, D. C., (ACP) - The war production board has clamped down on uncontrolled buying of laboratory equipment by colleges getting ready for their influx of army and navy trainees.
In a move to assure all colleges sufficient equipment to teach required science courses, WPB ordered that colleges must get the board's approval before ordering supplies.
Before restrictions were ordered, laboratory supplies were being ordered by colleges at a rate which theatened to soak up more equipment than manufacturers could produce in two years.
The actual terms of the order provide that colleges must fill out WPB form PD-620, submit it to WPB, and present the approved form to the manufacturers when they order. WPB officials report that form PD-620 will require only one day to clear through the Washington office.

Parents of Flyers Express Anxiety For Sons In Raid
Parents of American fliers captured by the Japanese following the bombing raid on Tokyo last April today were torn by anxiety or, in some cases, refused to beleive their sons were the ones who had been executed by the Japanese.
One father, a Kansan, wrathfully declared he wished he were younger so he personally could have a part in exacting vengeance. He feared his son was dead. was replaced by Onieta Tiahui the Hui
Eight of the fliers were listed by the War department as presumably captured by the Japanese. The Japanese confirmed Tokyo's broadcast that "some" of the prisoners have been executed but did not disclose the number or identity.
"I wish I were young so I could do something about it," said Robert A. Spatz at his filling station in Lebo, Kansas, one of the parents interviewed by International News Service. His son, Sgt. Harold A. Spatz, 21, was one of those listed as prisoners of the Japs.
"I've been expecting to hear some bad news about Harold," the elder Spatz declared. "The Red Cross has been trying to get word about him for nearly a year and when they can't find out anything, things aren't so good. I kinda felt my boy was dead."
Spatz said the last time he heard from Harold was in April of last year. The next word he had was a War department notice that his son was either missing in action or a prisoner of war.
REPRESENTATIVES---problems of membership, finances and educational programs of the campus co-ops.

General Orders Air Retaliation For Executions
"Remember those comrades when you get a Zero in your sights. Have their sacrifice before you when you line up your bomb sight on a Japanese base." Arnold urged his men.
(International News Service)
"We must not rest, we must redouble our efforts until the inhuman war lords who committed this crime have been utterly destroyed." Gen. Arnold's order read.
Tight-lipped American fliers all over the world today read a special order from General Henry H. Arnold, chief of the army air forces, to utterly destroy the Japanese air forces and to blast Nippon in revenge for the torture and execution of some of the United States airmen after Major General Jimmy Doolittle's air raid on Tokyo a year ago.
The Tokyo radio meanwhile said that any airmen who are forced down over Japan in the future will be executed.
All America seethed with indignation today at Jap atrocities and the fighting-mad Congress crackled with demands for vengeance.
State and War department officials, however, rejected the suggestion that America retaliate by executing Japanese war prisoners in American hands as inhuman and beneath the nation's dignity.
On the heels of the White House announcement of the execution by the Japs, came an official announcement that the British government

The cabinet, designed by the school of nursing in co-operation with the mechanical engineering department, has been in experimental use since 1939 at Miller hospital, St. Paul, and its design will be available immediately throughout the country and for use in war areas.
The multiple-preparation method cuts time required for preparation of hypodermic drugs from 41/2 minutes to 30 seconds, Miss Densford said.

Japs Give Up One or More Island Bases
[ ]
(International News Service)
The war's spotlight hopped abruptly to the far reaches of the Pacific ocean this afternoon when the navy revealed that American forces have seized at least one and possibly more islands in the Japanese-dominated Ellice group.
The islands lie some 900 miles below the vital Nipponese base at Jaluit, one of the three keystone enemy bastions in the Far Pacific and which hinges, in turn, upon highly fortified Truk. All three are in the mandated Caroline group. Hitler Loses 101 More Planes

Transfer to V-5 Must Be Made Before May 15
Members of the V-1 Naval Reserve who are qualified to continue training in the Navy College Training program will not be permitted to transfer to V-5 after May 15, 1943.
Students who enlisted in V-1 with the intention of transferring to V-5 before November 1, 1943, and who still desire such transfer, should submit their requests on the proper form immediately.
Officer candidates are needed with equal urgency in the various other officer candidate classes, particularly for engineering duty, and the above announcement is not to be construed as a special request for volunteers for aviation training, according to the Naval communique
Junior and senior engineering students may not transfer to V-5 at this time without approval of the Bureau of Naval Personnel.
Washington, (INS)—Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, (D) Mont., pleading for draft exemption of fathers, said yesterday that American air forces abroad alone will match the Axis at the end of 1943.
Senator Wheeler Pleads For Exemption of Fathers
"It is estimated that the total of all United Nations air forces will be twice that of the Axis powers," said Wheeler.
Wheeler quoted what he said were official figures to show that it is unnecessary draft fathers in order to comply with high command plans for overseas forces.

The University a capella choir sang "Forsake Me Not" (Rosenmueller), with the soprano solo sung by Helen Colburn, fine arts senior.
Professor Anderson Played
"People who worship believe in something; they have fixed stars in the firmament of heaven," Dr. Brown continued. "People who worship stand for something; everyone needs perpendicular as well as horizontal relationships," he parodied.
Prof. Laurel Everette Anderson of organ and theory played the prelude, "Saviour of My Heart" (Brahms), and Free Improvisation as the organ postulate.

Colleges Have Lost 7,000 Men Teachers
An Office of Education survey discloses that colleges have lost more than 7,000 men from their faculties.
During the year 1939-1940 there were 5,068 men and 4,059 women on the staffs of junior colleges alone. In the current year, 1942-43, on the basis of latest reports, there was only a one-man edge in the number of faculty members in junior colleges. Men numbered 4,372; women, 4,371.
They gained 470 women, giving a net decrease of 6,550 college faculty members. Teachers' colleges and normal schools have lost both men and women.
The number of male students in colleges of all types has dropped in the three-year period by more than 22 per cent. In 1939-1940 there were approximately 900,000 men in all the colleges. Today the number is less by more than 200,000. Half the men students have left the teachers' colleges and normal schools, one-third have dropped from the rolls of junior colleges, and one-fifth have left the universities, colleges, and professional schools.

Baby Carriage Quotas Assigned By WPB To 25 Manufacturers
Washington, (INS) — War or no war—America's babies are going to have carriages, sulkies and peramulators—even the twins.
The War Production Board yesterday assigned quotas to 25 manufacturers authorizing manufacture of more than 300,000 baby carriages in the next two months.
Production at this rate for the balance of 1943 will be able to meet the anticipated demand for 900,000 new carriages for new babies.
Quotas issued today call for 316,-620 single type carriages and 5,827 for twins. In addition 163,500 strollers, baby walkers and sulkies will be manufactured up to June 30.

New York, (INS)—Despite certification of their contract dispute to the War Labor Board, bituminous operators this afternoon agreed to continuance of negotiations when John L. Lewis threatened to halt mining of soft coal by his 450,000 followers in the United Mine Workers of America.
UMW Will Negotiate On Contract Dispute
This rapid-fire action came after anthracite operators who had emulated bituminous owners in rejecting union demands for a $2 daily wage boost, proposed renewal of the contract expiring April 30 with minor changes.
Dr. John R. Steelman, federal conciliator who has sought in vain for the past few weeks to break the deadlock, requested continuance of contract discussions by northern and southern operators with union officials to avert a suspension of soft coal mining which would jeopardize war production.

Indiana Is First Over Bond Quota
Indianapolis, Ind., (INS)—Indiana became the first state in the nation to exceed its quota of war bond sales yesterday in the second War Loan Drive.
Eugene C. Pulliam, head of the state War Finance Committee, reported sales of $127,410,203 to exceed the quota of $125,000,000. Tremendous buying of smaller denomination bonds coupled with large sales was responsible for the record-breaking spurt.
Pulliam said the campaign now becomes a drive to boost the remaining two-thirds of the 92 counties over the top. Many of these are near their quotas now and several more are expected to exceed their prescribed sales by the end of this week, he said.

Greatest increases were reported in the south Atlantic states, the Pacific northwest, California, the Chicago and Little Rock, Ark., areas. Only a few sections reported normal Easter trade and Pittsburgh was the only city reporting the possibility of a drop in Easter sales.
Prosperous war workers, crowded war industry centers and generally well-filled pursues have swollen Easter buying sales to as much as 65 per cent over last year's figures, a nationwide survey by International News Service showed today. ent buying it said the unwritten by
Little Rock is experiencing an alltime high in Easter retail trade. A survey of department stores showed that trade was up 65 percent over 1942.
The increase in Seattle's war worker population has brought a constant rise in business throughout the spring season and Easter business is about 25 percent above normal.
For the four weeks ending April 10, Atlanta reported an increase of 15 percent over 1942 and the district as a whole was up 12 percent. Ample Stocks In Chicago
Atlanta sales were running far ahead of last year. Federal Reserve figures for the week ending April 10 showed Atlanta up 48 percent over the same week last year; Miami up 33 percent, and the entire sixth Federal Reserve district showed an increase of 35 percent. This comparison, however, included the post-Easter slump in 1942 as Easter fell on April 5.
Chicago trade has increased 25 percent over Easter buying in 1942. the State Street council, association of department stores, reported. Present buying, it said, "is prompted by largely increased buying power and the lateness of Easter." Store stocks in the area are ample, though the variety is not as large as in previous seasons.
Easter business in Indianapolis is about 20 percent above last year. The buyers' panic three months ago brought on by fear of additional rationing, boosted sales as high as 70 percent.
Panic Buying Contributes
Panic buying, which boosted February business 59 percent over the same month in 1942 in Denver, has subsided, the Denver Retail Merchants Bureau said, but Easter business is about 24 percent over last year. This seems to be true for the whole Rocky Mountain region, the Bureau said.
Pre-Easter sales for the week ended April 10 in New York were 8 percent above the same Pre-Easter week in 1942, and 18 percent above those for the week ending April 11 last year. Sales for the entire four week period ended April 10 showed a 4 percent drop from last year.
Pittsburgh reported that sales were running slightly better than last year after a March slump, but that merchants estimated that pre-Easter sales would be about the same or slightly less than last year. No Run In Philadelphia
Harrisburg reported slightly better trade than last year, due to increased money available in the area.

OVERSEAS MEN TO GET SCORES
Both the Army and the Office of War Information are going to do their best to keep baseball in the good graces of our overseas fighting men. The Army itself will broadcast vocal accounts of all games this season, while OWI will send the scores around the world by wireless telegraphy.
***
POPULAR ANNOUNCERS ON BROADCASTS
In these baseball broadcasts, such announcers as Red Barber, Stan Lomax, and Paul Douglas will give the scores and brief accounts of the games. However, because of trans-oceanic static which might combine with the noise of the crowd at the game to drown out the speaker, no play-by-play descriptions will be broadcast. Besides the two hours needed to play the average game make it impossible to broadcast complete games.
"Sports News From Home" is another program of the OWI in which announcers throughout the country are co-operating to give sectional sports news. Altogether the OWI will broadcast nine sports programs every day. On open dates the baseball columns by various writers will be read on the broadcasts.

FRESHMAN TRACK SENSATION
One of the most outstanding freshman track men in the country is Fortune Gordien, a 6 foot, 215 pound "find" at the University of Minnesota.
A new Big Ten conference ruling will permit him to compete in varsity track meets. In 1940 he excited much comment when he threw the discus 162 feet 6 inches into the wind! That throw into the wind turned out to be the third best in the nation in high school competition that year. Minnesota track coach Jim Kelly says this of his protege, "I give him an even chance to make a better showing than Bob Fitch, Minnesota's greatest weight man." This is noteworthy because Bib Fitch threw the discus about 170 feet while he attended college.

Coach Henry Shenk left yesterday afternoon for Des Moines, Iowa, where he has entered one trackman, Tom Scofield, in the thirty-fourth annual two-day Drake Relays which began today with more than 400 University and college entries registered for competition.
Shenk took Scofield because he is the only Jayhawker track-
Although he is also a broadjumper, Scoffield has been entered only in his specialty, the high jump. In the intramural track meet two weeks ago, he cleared 6 feet 1 and 3-4 inches while in the dual meet with Baker, Wednesday, he cleared only 5 feet 8 inches. However, in practice jumps he has cleared over 6 feet 3 inches and may do as good tomorrow if the weather is warm up in Des Moines.
On the basis of past performances by some of the headliners, five Drake records may be broken. Threatened marks are those in the high jump, the 120-yard high hurdles, the pole vault, and the 440 and 880-yard relays.
Famous Service Stars Compete
Among service stars scheduled to compete are Walter Mehl, former Wisconsin distance star who will run in the two-mile; Charlie Beetham, once an Ohio State half miler who will run in the distance medley; Harold Hunt, erstwhile Nebraska star pole vaulter; Charles Hlad, hurdler who competed for Michigan Normal in his undergraduate days; and Lt.

Reveal 'Shangri-La' As Aircraft Carrier
Cleveland, (INS) — George Radulovich, 20-year-old Cleveland aviation machinist's mate, third class, yesterday proudly related the story of how Tokyo was bombed and how Jimmy Doolittle led the formation from an aircraft carrier, formerly referred to as "Shangri-la" to withhold its identity.
Raudlovich told how the crew of the carrier cheered when their suspicions were confirmed that they were on their way to Japan for the first raid on the Japanese capital.
The carrier was based 250 miles from Japan when 80 flyers took off in Billy Mitchell bombers. Doo-little, Radulovich said, was the first to leave the carrier, circling around until all planes were picked up in formation.

Mary Moore Thomson Is Elected American Mother of 1943
New York, (INS) — Mrs. Mary Moore Thomson, widowed mother of four sons and president of Western College for Women at Oxford, Ohio, today was hailed as the American mother of 1943.
In selecting the Glendale, Ohio, woman, who is 55 years old, the Americans mother's committee of the Golden Rule Foundation found that she represented the highest ideals of American motherhood and family life. Her four sons are either in the armed services or engaged in war work.
Committee Fails to Act On Tax Bill, Will Reconvene
Washington, (INS) — The house ways and means committee, convened in a closed session to report on the new Democratic sponsored pay-as-you-go tax bill, failed to act this afternoon; and the committee was ordered to reconvene tomorrow morning.
One Republican who is opposing the measure, remarked to reporters that "They (Democrats) evidently don't have the votes." The GOP members are backing the Ruml plan and a compromise version of it.

Army Plane Stunts Over Capital City
Sales in Washington were slow until last week, because of bad weather, but merchants believe that the chances are excellent for a big increase over last year.
Washington, (INS)—A plane bearing the insignia of the army air forces "stunted" for nearly an hour over the national capital yesterday until other army aircraft took to the skies to shepherd the stunting ship home.
In a strange one-man show that sent hundreds to the roof tops to watch the performance, the plane banked, swooped, and flew low over Washington. Rooftop watchers said that the pilot apparently was centering his anties over a certain section of the city downtown, evidently putting the show on for a sweetheart or friends.
Alarmed, scores of persons called police. The police called nearby Bolling Field and soon an army pursuit ship made two complete circles around the stunter and finally the latter headed back toward Bolling Field with the fighter and the bomber riding herd.
School of Education Will Train Teachers In Summer Session
The 41st. summer session of the School of Education will offer several courses leading to teaching certificates, J. W. Twente, dean of the school of education, announced today.
In order to meet the urgent demands in the field of teaching, courses are to be offered to high-school graduates who wish to meet certification requirements as outlined by the State Board of Education; to persons who wish to take a "refresher" course in order to qualify for an emergency teaching certificate in elementary schools; and to teachers who wish to renew an emergency certificate; courses for teachers of speech-defective children.
Special courses for teachers of speech-defective children, mathematics and pre-flight aeronautics are also being offered.
Pittsburg, Kan., (INS)—Hope that her brother, one of the eight American airmen taken prisoner after they bombed Tokyo, was still alive was expressed today by Mrs. William Maas.
Woman Hopes For Brother's Safety
The last word she had from her brother, Lt. George Barr, formerly of Queens, N. Y., was when he wrote in April of last year. The next she heard of him was a letter from the War Department advising her he was missing. Following that came a letter from Maj. Gen. Doo-little who led the band of intrepid airmen over Japan.
"I still have hope," Mrs. Maas said. "I want to hope that he is still alive and that I'll see him again."
Mrs. Maas, wife of a dispatcher at a Pittsburg air field had some pointed remarks about the Japs executing some of the eight prisoners. She said she didn't care to put her thoughts into words as she felt they were "censoral."
"What I think about the Japs for executing those boys just couldn't be printed," she said.

Social Worker Course Offered
Former Students Meet in Bomber The alumni office has received information about an unusual meeting of two former students. Karl Shawyer, who was graduated from the University in 41 and is "somewhere in the South Pacific," was recently the rear gunner on a dive bombing mission on the plane which Robert M. "Pat" Patterson piloted.
An institute for social workers, designed to partially meet the needs of persons actively engaged in social work, is to be offered at the University this summer, according to J. W. Tmente, director of summer sessions.
Since the transportation situation no longer permits the use of extension courses formerly given in various parts of the state, the University is making its services available by offering two four week institutes from June 14 to July 10. and from July 12 to August 7. A maximum of four hours credit may be earned in one of these institutes. A number of well known social workers have agreed to cooperate as special lecturers in connection with several courses.
The subjects being offered in the institutes are: social pathology, rural sociology, food and nutrition, child development, the family, and introduction to social case work. Students wishing to attend the entire session of eight weeks may choose suitable sequences of courses from the offerings of the two four week institutes and, when desired, from the other departments offering courses.
In order to facilitate arrangements for the institute, it is recommended that those interested in enrolling communicate with Esther E. Twente, Room 3, Fraser hall.

Physical Conditioning Plan Could Be Of More Value Under Broader Program
The conditioning program inaugurated this year, whereby all University men subject to service under the United States flag should take a conditioning course to make them fitter for the strenuous physical demands of the fighting forces, is indeed a good plan and a constructive aid to the war program. Near the end of the first year of this broad program, however, it is well to reconsider its construction and the effectiveness of the conditioning classes as outlined.
Students who have taken conditioning in these classes have offered constructive criticism of the plan, and usually the criticism has been a serious effort to make the program of more equal benefit to every student. Many men complain that there is no uniform plan for teaching the different classes, and that the classes vary in strictness, value, and difficulty according to the individual instructor. This is often true in most departments and in many classes, but in a conditioning program there seems to be more need for uniformity. In the future, if a strict program were outlined so that instructors would follow the same line of work, the classes would be of more value.
It is true that Robinson gymnasium and the physical education department are overcrowded. This required conditioning program has jumped the department enrollment until adequate facilities are not available. A department giving such valuable training could well be provided with more funds in order to build up the teaching staff and the building and equipment facilities.
Students complain that the cut system has been lax, and that the ruling that excessive cuts will be penalized by expulsion or loss of grade points is not being carefully administered. Unless such a rule is going to be followed and unless the training program is going to be enforced so that students will receive the greatest advantage, what is the use of having it? It might be that many students do not fully understand the cut system and the rulings governing too many cuts, but these points should be made clear and then enforced. Such a program as conditioning is easily taken too lightly unless the value and the purpose of such a course are explained and the class work directed toward those ends.
The physical education department is performing a real service by preparing men in advance to meet the requirements of the armed forces, but what a greater service could be given to both the forces and the individual men if some of the weaknesses could be eliminated.

A class in camouflage at the University has constructed a portable dummy bolder as a possibility for hiding machine gun nests or observation towers. The bolder made by throwing gunny sacks soaked in wet plaster over a framework of twigs.
Following a short jaunt down the highway, Jack takes off from the landing strip beside the roadway, and rises to the height specified for civilian travel. That limit to prevent conflict with larger cargo and transportation ships, and with military craft.
Jack's father, John, is a doctor, one individual in a huge government-sponsored system of socialized medicine. As a student before the war and as a young doctor during the war, he was strongly opposed to any system of organized "free medicine." But when it started, and he saw its effectiveness in operation, he changed his mind.
After arriving in Chicago, Jack finds that his date is not quite ready, so he drops in on his grandparents. His grandfather is retired and is living comfortably with his wife. The couple is supported by a government-sponsored system of social security.
Jack and his grandfather discuss the policies of the World Court, and the recent settling of a problem begun by a country with aggressive ambitions. Several of the small armies and navies maintained by each country had been grouped near the country in question, and their mere presence had sufficed to induce a quiet settlement.
Jack picks up his girl, and after seeing a show, takes her for a flight. In the course of events, he gets a little out of the altitude limits, and an air-policeman flies nearby and reminds him to be more careful. Almost all policing is on a federal basis, because transportation and the socialistic form of government have practically erased state lines. Transportation and international government have also tended to "make the world smaller" and to weld nations together.
After taking his girl-friend home, Jack returns to Spifletown, lands on the strip beside the highway lighted by its own phosphorescent glow, and lets himself in the back way. He sneaks a synthetic food tablet from the electronic refrigerator—and so to bed!-F.A.

Rock Chalk Talk By MARY MORRILL
A slip of the tongue: Jack McCoy called Clay Hedrick Wednesday night. "My car won't start," Jack said desperately. "Can you get out here after us?" Clay took account of the country road Jack directed him to, the "won't start" instead of "stalled" as well as "us"—and a fiendish idea developed in his mind.
He told Mrs. Kraemer, Phil Delt housemother, that he was going for a little ride in the country and would she like to go along.
The rescue squad found the right road and the evacuees were evacuated. The trip home was a silent one.
Never complain—it's unhealthy: Leo Goertz, a Battenfeld resident last semester, came back over the weekend. After dinner he herded the fellows around the phonograph to listen to a recording of his voice. Goertz is really quite a vocalist—on the classical side.
The audience was doing well with its appreciative expression until Bob North burst in.
"Where in hell did we get that record? What do you guys mean wasting our money on such trash!" he exclaimed.

Helen Launched It, Too Camouflage Art
Bv JEAN JONES
The Greeks worked ten long years to crash the gates of Troy and recover their precious Helen. When going seemed the roughest, a soldier, with an eye to the future, conceived the idea of not only getting the army into the city but having the Trojans carry it, hidden in a wooden horse, through the gates. Since then, camouflage has been an important weapon when the question at hand involves fool-
Today, when hiding from Hitler and Hirohito has become a complex game of "Survival of the Fittest," military strategists have turned to camouflage to prevent wholesale destruction of lives and armament. The engineers' corps of the army, navy, and marines, the United States camouflage headquarters at Ft. Belvoir, Va., the Office of Civilian Defense, and the Pratt Institute in New York are devising new methods every day of making the enemy think he sees things he doesn't. Artists, engineers, psychologists, photographers, and military strategists are working together to conceal military and industrial targets.
On the battlefield, where time is at a premium, the soldier must use his ingenuity to be his own camouflage. If caught suddenly in street fighting, he may daub grease on his face, cover himself with sackcloth to make his body blend into the shadows, or fall into a pile of debris.
If the soldier has time to put on a sipper's suit, he can make himself invisible from 30 feet away. The green and pinkish-brown of the mottled camouflage garment blend into the background of green trees, shadow, and bright sunlight.
The problem of concealing equipment is difficult. Students of camouflage advocate building collapsible barm on the battlefield to conceal anti-aircraft battery. They propose hiding planes by parking them
In some cases, whole army camps can be hidden. Camp Murphy. in Hobe Sound, Fla., a training center for the signal corps, scattered over a nine mile area, is situated in a dense tropical spot on the edge of the Everglade mountains. Vegetation is thick and no tree or shrub was removed unnecessarily. The buildings, facing every direction, are painted green and are so expertly concealed that a man could walk through the camp unaware he was near a building until he bumped into it. Since the signal corps needs no ground for maneuvers, no white sand drill grounds reveal the camp to enemy raiders.
An air base in New Jersey is being built to resemble a farm community. Even the church steeple harboring the parachute tower and the sections of landing field sowed with grass look like "the real McCoy" from above.

Students Against Post-War Service
In a recent survey by the Post-War World commission, headed by Clarence Mollett, junior in the School of Business, the following question was asked 192 University students:
"After the war is over, do you think every young man should be required to serve one year in the army or navy?"
To answer this question these results were tabulated:
Boys, 46 yes; 81 no. Girls, 20 yes; 45 no. Total, 126 no, 81 yes.
These answers were received by the committee:
Paul Brwonlee, College sophomore. "It is not necessary for everyone to know how to kill people."
Mary Cheney, College senior; "According to the peace plan they adopt, if this be one in which there would be an international police force, it would not be necessary."
Jessie Farmer. College senior: "Common sense will tell you that there will be a problem when the boys return home. The chances are, they will be kept in the armed forces for at least one year."
Arthur Leavens, sophomore engineer: "Physical training may be all right while in school, but when connected with the army or navy, it is certainly not desirable."
Bill Stacey, junior engineer: "Every boy should have such training as a part of his education and as a contribution to the armed forces."
Bob Horak, senior engineer: "If you are to train at all, a year is not enough."
Don Atchison, junior engineer; "It's good experience and broadens a boy."
Bob Graham, freshman engineer:
"Compulsory military training is fine. In case of another war, we would be prepared. Also it's good training for anyone."
Bill Nice, medic: "Something like military training will be necessary for post war problems. However, I don't believe every boy need remain in the army and navy."
Don Wald, medic: "I think most boys will want military training. The government should teach some vocation along with the training."
Bob Pillar, College freshman: "Establishment of compulsory military service depends upon whether or not the peace settlement is fair and effective."
Jim Roderick, College sophomore: "Assuming that all nations are determined to strive for peace, compulsory military training is unnecessary."
Dick Dreher, College sophomore: "Men should serve a short time each year over a period of 10 years which would cumulate to a total of one year's training."
Hal Hunter, College freshman:
"Assuming the establishment of an international police force after the war, professional soldiers, not civilians, should make up our armed forces."
"Tommy" Thompson, College freshman; "Attention after the war should be turned to social and economic reconstruction, rather than to perfection of military supremacy."
Anna May Young, College sophomore: "We should have compulsory military training after the war so will not be caught unawares as in this war."
Oliver Hughes, first year law: "We need preparedness and its awfully good for the boys."
Bob Barton, first year law: "Compulsory military training would be good training for the boys."
R. J. Atkinson, junior engineering:
"If military training can be taken in the summer or sometime like that and will not take a solid year from a boy's life, it may be satisfactory."

than they do. On some fronts, one dummy gun matches every real one.
Even the "fakes" must be camouflaged a little to make the enemy think they are real weapons poorly camouflaged.
The Navy, too, has its camouflage tricks. A submarines can fake oil slick and phony debris so well that enemy ships will think the craft has been shattered.
In the United States, industrial camouflage as a defense weapon against precision bombing is of vital concern. The principal objective is to confuse the enemy bombardier in the 35 seconds he has in which to set his bombisht on the target.
Camoufleurs are planning industrial camouflage to make the geometrically shaped buildings melt into surrounding country-side by muffling their shape, contours, and shadows, dulling reflections, and dispersing targets. Paint and nets are the most common tools used.
The United States Camouflage headquarters have discovered that rusty tin cans tied on old sticks resemble real trees well enough to be used in faking vegetation around factories.
Since the modern aerial camera will reveal shadows better than the vulnerable object itself, camouflleurs try to conceal them. One aerial camera will spot a man's footprints on the grass from two miles away. Another shadow painted on the building so as to extend or confuse its outline will conceal the real shadow. Since false shadows don't shift with the seasons, they have to be painted to look natural at the time aerial

Experiments show that smoke is the most visible element around the factory. By substituting with forced drafts, prominent smokestacks and smoke can be eliminated. Providing the wind is right and plenty of time is available to get smoke pots into operation, smoke will make an effective screen.

EXAMINATION SCHEDULE
The factory parking lot can be spotted by the enemy raider from a long distance, as the tops of cars and the white lot make a glare in camouflage principles in mind. In suggest decentralizing the lot, adding trees, nets, and screen to give the appearance of a grove, or hanging canopies of wire ropes, strung on poles loaded with steel wool colored to tone with the surroundings as a means of disguising the lot.
Militarists agree that residential areas are not very vulnerable. The possibility of disguising factories as apartment houses or small districts is being studied by students of camouflage.
According to engineers, in the future, buildings will be planned with camouflage principals in mind. In the meantime, camoufleur staffs will be working on this "now-yousee-it-now-you-don't" technique.
So you see the Greeks started something when they fooled the Trojans.

Library To Display Career Pamphlets
On display in the War Information library this week are "Career Monographs," pamphlets containing complete information on The WAAC, WAVES, SPARS, and Marines, branches of the service in which women may now take an active part. The substance of this information consists of history, qualifications, descriptions of uniform, types of jobs, pay and general orientation in the specific fields. $ \textcircled{*} $
Our library of war information was started during April of last year, having been designated by the U.S. government as one of the key centers for filing of material related to the war. H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division, and Miss Helen Wagstaff, secretary of the bureau of general information, were responsible for its organization. The government immediately began to send pamphlets to our library; and the library in turn wrote to other agencies, non-governmental, for further material connected with the war effort.
All material in this special library contained in pamphlets, which
treat such subjects as agriculture and war, American armed forces, civilian defense, consumer problems, economic problems, education and war, employment problems, housing, historical background of war, labor and war, military strategy, warfronts, battles, campaigns, nations involved in the war and their cultural backgrounds, post-war planning, price control, priorities, social problems religion and war, transportation, communication, and war production.
Current book jackets are shelved with the pamphlets according to the subject heading. The books may be called for at the desk in the reference room after a check has been made in the card catalog.
Penny Causes Worst Fire In History of New Castle
New Castle, Ind., (INS) — Fire Chief George Van Zant said yesterday that a penny probably was responsible for the $250,000 fire which destroyed the three-story Jennings building here.
The penny had been placed behind a burned-out 30-ampere fuse in the basement of the building, Van Zant said, and when a short circuit developed, the conduct became red hot, igniting a jost of the building.
The fire was the worst in New Castle's history.
Found at the east end of the reference room of Watson library, the War Information library is available for use by faculty members, students, and townspeople. Because of the shortage of help, the room is kept locked. Librarians at the main desk have the key.
F. E. Melvin, associate professor of history, is present in the library from 3-5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The regular hours each day are from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m., and from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Somewhere in Australia, (INS) How's this for all out war effort?
Two hundred men stationed in an American service unit somewhere in Australia's far northwest frontier contribute 1,500 dollars each month to a common pool for the purchase of American war bonds.
"It comes to about 2 dollars a week per man," explained Sgt. Lyle Schermitzler of Lahabra, Calif., who originated the idea. "And it would be more if most of the fellows in this particular outfit were not married men," he added.

Jayhawker Available Monday and Tuesday
Distribution of the Jayhawker magazine will continue only through Monday and Tuesday afternoons at the W.S.G.A. book exchange in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building, John Conard, editor, said today.
The magazines will be available from 2 to 5 p.m. both days, but after that the remaining copies will be moved into the Jayhawker office, and no regular office hours will be kept.
"It is highly desirable to the Jayhawker staff and to the subscribers," Conard said, "that all deliveries be completed Monday and Tuesday. Delay in calling for the magazines will cause inconvenience on all sides."

KU Graduate Will Speak At Banquet
After leaving the University in 1928 John Cameron Swayze, who returns to the campus to speak at the Kansan Board dinner in the Colonial Tea Room Tuesday night, went to the staff of the Kansas City Journal Post in 1931 where he was rewrite man, did general assignments, and became feature editor.
It was in 1940 that he left the Journal to become a member of the KMBC news staff.
As feature writer on the Journal Swayze was assigned to cover the Kansas City Union station and the municipal airport. These way-stations between the two coasts draw far more than the usual number of traveling celebrities. Swayze met

'The Conquerors'
I saw the conquerors riding by With cruel lips and faces wan: Musing on Kingdoms sacked and burned There rode the Mongol Ghenghis Khan;
And Alexander, like a God,
Who sought to weld the world in one;
And Caesar with his laurel wreath;
And like a thing from Hell, the Hun;
Then all they perished from the earth,
As fleeting shadows from a glass,
And, conquering down the centuries,
Came Christ, the Swordless, on an ass.
And leading like a star, the van,
Heedless of upstretched arm and groan,
Inscrutable Napoleon went,
Dreaming of Empire and alone . . .
This poem, "The Conquerors", was written by Harry Kemp, a student at the University from 1908 to 1911. Mr. Kemp is a nationally recognized poet and author whose name is in "Who's Who". He is the manager and founder of the Poets' Theater and a member of the London Poetry Society.
Mr. Kemp traveled around the United States as a tramp and once made a trip around the world starting with 25 cents. He is author of several plays, including the four act play "Judas." Among his volumes of poetry is "Cry of Youth", and is novels include "Tramping on Life", "More Miles" and "Love among Cape-Enders."

Allies Engage In Final Drive Toward Tunis
(By International News Service)
American troops, surging many miles across the hills west of Tunis in cooperation with the British First Army, captured a promontory called Long Stop Hill, which came to be known as the Verdun of Tunisia because of the staunch resistance offered by the Germans. The hill is 29 miles southwest of Tunis.
Allied attacks on the Tunisian front now constitute the general offensive — probably the final all-out assault—to drive the Axis from Tunisia, dispatches indicated yesterday.
First Army Took Goubellat
At the same time, the British First Army took the town of Goubellab midway between Medjez-El-Bab and Bou Rada and scored a considerable

EASTER EVE No Time For Studying School, Bah!
Bv Phyllis Collier
'Twas the night before Easter, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring; no one except me.
There I was, alone, with an unfinished term paper before my eyes, and the empty echo of a vacant hall resounding in my ears. A pencil rested in my fingers, but try as I would, I couldn't make it write anything constructive on the empty sheet before me. To Come Home Through
The radio wasn't even behaving decently. Guess all the entertainers went home for Easter.
I could have gone home too, I guess, except for a feature story I was to hand in Saturday, a term paper that was due Monday, and a short 100-page assignment which was shortened to that length because Sunday was Easter and the professor wanted to be "lenient." Yes, I could have gone home, too, I guess.
Alone, All Alone
But I was going to play the martyr. I was going to stay there in my own dark room and complete pre-Easter and post-Easter assignments. There I was, alone, lonesome, and scared. Black branches brushed against my window, a black cloud hung over the moon, and the floors squeaked.
My ambling thoughts and vivia imagination suddenly returned to normal. Oh, yes, the term paper. Oh well, maybe I could concentrate better on the 100-page chapter. I tried, honestly. But reading about murder trials doesn't help matters when you are home, alone, and scared.
Footsteps In The Dark
I heard a door quietly open, and then footsteps. I froze to my chair, my eyes stared toward the window, and not a muscle in my body moved. Then, I relaxed. Of course, there was another person still there at the house besides me. It gave me consolation. Here was someone with whom I could talk.
And then, ah me. I remembered who it was. It was the girl I had quarreled with earlier and had practically told to go "jump in the lake." Why had I never learned to hold my tongue? I could bury the hatchet now, I thought. This would be a good excuse. But my pride wouldn't let me do it. I'd just keep real quiet and make her worry about being alone and being scared the same as I had.
But She Wouldn't Scare
But being alone didn't seem to bother her. She turned on the radio and began singing along with the torch singer. Guess she was happy. Well, I could still study. At least it was a solace to know someone else was in the house besides me. But her singing distracted me. I kept hearing, "You'd Be So Nice

The New Alcan highway has opened up possible transportation routes into vast areas of unexplored area reaching from the foothills of the Canadian rockies in northern Alberta to the Mackenzie mountains and the Arctic sea. Since the earliest exploration of the Mackenzie river valley, the famous Athabaska tar sands have suggested the occurrence of petroleum under this vast area.
The development of the great Turner valley oil field and the recent discoveries of petroleum at Fort Norman, almost at the arctic circle, have made the area look even more promising. Discovery of additional petroleum reserves in this area is of immediate importance in connection with the Alaskan war theatre.

The area to be explored is in the foothills belt of the Canadian rockies and the Mackenzie mountains. It is heavily covered with a dense growth of virgin pine forests. Hundreds of blue glacial lakes dot the upland surfaces. Fast mountain streams emerge from the mountains and cross the area. Difficult swamps and muskeg bogs cover much of it. This region is widely advertised for its mosquitoes and swarms of black flies. Much of the area is far enough north to have over 20 hours of sunlight each day during the summer.
Doctor Smith and Doctor Laudon are both connected with the Aerial Geology survey. At present, they are engaged in gathering tough field clothing in preparation for the summer. Both are anticipating a rough but very interesting summer.

Easter Is Source Of Final Inspiration
Came a pause in the grind of school activities, and the majority of students turned to Easter and religious services today. Spring styles were in evidence everywhere. A great number of students trekked homeward to enjoy Easter with their families in their own churches, and for a final breathing period before the last two weeks.
For those who did not journey away from the Hill, the Student Christian Federation and the Lawrence Ministerial Alliance arranged a sunrise service at 6:30 this morning. The Rev. Lawrence Dever of the United Brethren church addressed the group on the lawn between Myers hall and Spooner-Thayer museum.
Although no time was allowed for an Easter vacation, students, for the most part, knocked off for more inspiration and a little less concentration on books this week. Weather cooperated to set off the new Easter styles, and churches were filled for their special Easter services.

Nursing Course To Be Shortened
The course for the bachelor of science degree in nursing has been changed from a five and one-half year course to one requiring only five years work. Approval of the measure was obtained at a recent faculty meeting.
This change will be effective after January 1, 1944. Formerly, nursing students enrolled in three years of College work and spent two and a half years in the department of nursing education at the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City, Kan; under the new ruling, they will spend five semesters at the University and five semesters in Kansas City.
During the fifth semester of work at the University, the student will be enrolled both in the College and in the department of nursing education. She will combine College courses with nursing work. Several changes in the particular courses required in the College were also made.
This change is in line with the practice of most other universities which have similar courses, said Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College. Women entering this profession have the assurance that they are doing essential work, and that they will be assured employment for many years, he added.

Huaraches Lead Sales All To Be Rationed
MARINELLO BEAUTY SHOP

By Phyllis Jones
Sales leaders in the field of wearing apparel are non-rationed shoes. Buyers' non-rationed favorites are the familiar sandals from south of the border, Mexican huaraches.
Unlike used rubber which has
The huarache is actually the which does not require a number and after June 1 the ration book will be necessary for huaraches and all other imported footwear. All shipments of other leather non-rationed shoes were rationed after April 15.
He expressed the opinion long entertained by sheoemen and pedicurists that "flats" are made to fit the shape of the feet, but there is nothing in the construction of the foot or body stature to justify wearing high heels. They only tend to distort the bone structure of the feet and develop poor walking habits and postural defects.
Opinions of Lawrence merchants are almost as varied as those of their customers concerning the advisability of purchasing non-rationed shoes, but all agree that these shoes are "best sellers." Haynes and Keene have not had any non-rationed shoes for sixty days; the Otto Fischer supply is almost exhausted, and Royal Shoe Store's stock is "low".
Better Than High Heels
"It's just like buying anything that is cheap," the Fischer shoeman remarked, concerning the practicality of purchase. When asked if the shoes were injurious to the wearer's feet, the Haynes and Keene man said that the shoes were not "well fitting" while the manager of the Royal said they were probably as desirable as "any flat" and better for the feet than high heels of any kind.
The huarache is actually the only all-standard-leather shoe which does not require a number seventeen coupon for purchase, and after June 1 the ration book †
"While it is possible for women to enter nursing schools from high school and get certificates after three years training, I strongly recommend the five year course, from which the student receives, not only her certificate of nursing, but also the degree of bachelor of science in nursing," Dean Lawson continued. "She will be qualified, not only for the everyday work of nursing, but she will have the type of training needed by supervisors and teachers," he explained.
been remade into tires and shoe soles, used leather is not being remade into shoes. Materials which go to make up non-rationed shoes are cheap, non-essential leathers, fabrics, plastics, wood and rope. By standard full-grained leather, shoes men mean calf, kid, elk, pigskin, and the reptile skins.
Foower leather, which have also been rationed since shipments made April 15, are sheepskin and capeskin, a form of sheepskin, and imitation leather. Mexican huaraches are almost the only exception, and shoemen express the opinion that these shoes have not been rationed because they do not affect the leather supply of this country. Beginning June 2, however, all such imported shoes will also become rationed.
Sales with the number seventeen coupon have been growing steadily. Lawrence shoemen report but agree that most of the buying has been without the "ticket." As soon as persons realize that, on the whole, they can actually purchase almost as many shoes with rationing restrictions as they did without, shoemen believe there will be less reluctance to part with the coupons.
The trend has been to buy more expensive and more serviceable shoes, shoemen report, which means a boon to foot health. Stylists have appraised this trend, they say, and most of the shoes this season are plain but attractive. Few extreme styles have appeared, and these have not sold as well as other more conservative patterns.

Gap Exists In Phys Ed Program--Allen
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, chairman of the department of physical education and head of the University's physical conditioning program, today pointed out a gap which exists between the University's "commando" course, and the government-sponsored High School Victory Corps program.
Under the nation-wide high all boys are required to take work five days a week in equatics, gymnastics, combatives, sports, and games. Girls are required to take similar training in aquatics, gymnastics, sports, and games. However, the University program has been limited by the University Senate to men 18 years-of-age, or older.
Some Students Are Exempt
"Thus." Dr. Allen pointed out, "many students in college, who if they were in high school would be subject to physical conditioning, are exempt because of their age."
Dr. Allen also pointed out that the average age of the University students is rapidly decreasing, so that the percentage of students not preparing for the hardships of wartime living will increase during the coming summer and fall semesters. The department chairman indicated that the matter will be brought to the attention of the University Senate when it meets on May 4.
Dr. Allen emphasized that in the requirement that University women take two semesters of conditioning work no such age limit was fixed. Conditioning For Navy
Added to the physical education department's tasks this summer will be the work of handling the recently arrived naval aviation cadet contingent, which will be supplemented with still other groups of cadets during the summer. However, the machinists' mates school is expected to be drastically curtailed as to the number of trainees during that period.
The cadets will be handled in two daily classes of an hour and a half duration, Dr. Allen said. Present plans call for classes to meet at from 7 to 8:30 a.m., and from 5 to 6:30 p.m., five days a week. Dr. Reg-
school students training setup.
inaid Strait, physical education instructor, will handle both classes. Courses for H. S. Teachers
Refresher courses for high school teachers attending the summer session are still another possibility, Dr. Allen stated. With many of the athletic coaches and physical ed instructors of state high schools now in the services, the task of directing such activities will fall more and more upon the shoulders of men and women who have had no experience in those fields in recent years, Allen explained. The refresher course would serve to brush up such teachers in playground methods, Victory Corps instruction, first aid, and other similar fields.
"So far there has been no green light for such courses," Dr. Allen said," but if one comes, the department will be able to handle the work."
The department hopes in the future to bring more and more of the classes under faculty instruction, according to the chairman. This may be accomplished though the addition in the near future of L. L Boughton, professor of pharmacy, and Dr. Bert Nash, professor education, to the physical conditioning staff. Both faculty members have volunteered to aid the physical education staff—now down to three men—with the work.
"At present there is no assurance of anything other than that the service men will make an increasing call upon the facilities of the department," Dr. Allen declared. "The student situation is extremely unsettled."
Lt. Jack Gardner, in charge of naval physical training in this area, has been conferring with Dr. Allen over the conditioning setup for the naval air cadets.

Fear Shortage This Summer Of Women Teachers
A serious shortage in personnel for women's physical education instruction during the coming summer term looms, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, chairman of the department of physical education, announced today.
At present none of the three women members of the faculty plan to be here for the summer term, Dr. Allen revealed. Professor Ruth Hoover will leave immediately following the completion of the present school term to join the faculty of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The playoffs in men's intramural sports have reached the quarter-finals stage in tennis and the semi-finals stage in handball and horseshoes.
Professor Joie Stapleton will serve in the Lawrence municipal recreation setup during the first few weeks of the summer, and then will serve as an instructor at Camp Oak Opening in Michigan. Miss Stapleton has taught at the camp during past summers. Jean Bliss, instructor of dancing, will also teach elsewhere.
Playoffs Continue In Three Sports
The quarter-finals pairings in tennis are: Dale Lingelbach, Templin hall, vs. Kenneth Cates, Alpha Tau Omega; D. T. Smith, Phi Gamma Delta, vs. Judson Townley, Beta Theta Pi; Cal Briney, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, vs. Bob Jelinek, Sigma Phi Epsilon; Jim Roderick, Beta Theta Fi, vs. C. L. Roberts, Phi Gamma Delta.
The semi-finals pairings in handball are: Larry McSpadden, Phi Gamma Delta, vs. F. M. Hulett, Phi Gamma Delta; Bob Hodgson, Phi Gamma Delta, vs. Bob O'Neil, Beta Theta Pi.
Pairings in the semi-finals in horseshoes are: Max Kissell, Phi Kappa Psi, vs. W. C. Hartley, Beta Theta Pi; Orive Hempler, Phi Gamma Delta vs. Ray Helgesen, Phi Gamma Delta.

A Municipal Recreation Program
Lawrence along with other war industry towns should adope the municipal recreation program which Dr. Forrest C. Allen outlined before the recent convention at Emporia of the Kansas Congress of Parents and Teachers.
This program provides for a full time recreation director who has charge of recreation facilities which grade and high school students may use after they have been dismissed from their classes for the afternoon or for vacations.
Here in Lawrence as in many cities there are few municipal recreation facilities which children may use over the weekends. And when there is no recreation provided for them, they turn to whatever they can find; thus, many of the local boys flock up to Robinson gymnasium on Saturdays where they play basketball without permission or supervision—but we can't blame them for trying to find wholesome recreation. Other students roam the streets aimlessly, here and there, doing what satisfies them on a moments notice with a result that many of them get into trouble for petty thievery.
Children Have Rights Too!
If suitable physical recreation were provided for elementary school children, those children's desire to utilize excessive energy in a wholesome manner, could be fulfilled. Children have every right to grow up to become respectable citizens; therefore every municipal government should provide for them pastimes which are creative in body as well as in mind.
The welfare of future citizens should have a place in thoughtful municipal planning. Textbook education is not enough; recreational physical education must also be provided for the development of physically strong, emotionally stable, and mentally alert citizens.
Delta Tau Defeats Jolliffe Hall, 16-8
In the only softball game played this weekend, Delta Tau Delta defeated Jollife hall Friday afternoon, 16 to 8. Jolliffe opened the scoring with four runs in the top half of the first inning before an out was made. The Delt's retaliated in the last half of the first, and clinched the game by scoring seven runs before an out was made and two more runs before the third out.
Jolliffe scored another run in the third inning and three more in the fifth. Delta Tau scored two runs in the third, four in the fourth, and one in the sixth to insure their victory.
The other games were not played because most of the members of the teams left the campus to spend the Easter weekend at home.

Albert Spalding To Be Here May 3
Albert Spalding, America's foremost violinist, will present a concert at 8:20 May 3 in Hoch auditorium as part of the American Music Week program and the last number on the University Concert course.
Mr. Spalding has studied with Chiti, the famous Florentine master, Buitrago, in New York, and Lefort, in Paris. He was graduated from the Bologna Conservatory at the age of 14 with the highest honors ever accorded anyone since Mozart.
The artist has appeared with the leading symphony orchestras in America and Europe, and has played return engagements with some of them as many as 20 times. He is the only American violinist and one of the five world famous violinists who have appeared at the famous Scala Opera house in Milan. Mr. Spalding is the only American violinist to be invited to appear as soloist with the famous Conservatoire orchestra.
In 1917, Mr. Spalding cancelled his contracts to enlist in the Air Corps. He was assigned to active duty overseas, and as recognition of his distinguished service in the A. E. F., he received the Italian Cross of the Crown of Italy and the rosette of the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor of France.
Besides being a concert artist, Spalding is recognized as a great American composer. More than 60 of his violin and piano compositions have been published.
Legislator He Hates WAVE's
Washington, (INS)—Breathing indignation and declaring himself opposed to a bill to permit WAVES to be sent overseas, Rep. Vincent (D Ky., told the house this week;
"When Gen. MacArthur is begining for planes, what do we propose to do—we propose to give him a little WAVE."
The house Naval Affairs committee member declared the pending bill has "less merit" than any brought before congress since he had been a member. Of the organization of women in the Navy, he said:
"It's inefficient, it's a fad. It's all right if you want to teach them to say 'good night, mam,' but for God's sake don't put them in the position where they'll be coming to congress for pensions and asking allotments for their husbands."

Order Specifies Control of Food
Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt issued an executive order yesterday designed to clear up any conflict in the over-lapping powers of war food administrator Chester Davis and Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard.
The order changed the name of the food production administration, of which Davis was head, to the war food administration.
In effect, the order returns to Wickard the powers taken away from him after the appointment of Davis if the secretary finds the use of such powers is necessary to carry out his duties.
The order also gives Davis the right to use any powers which were exclusively those of the secretary if Davis finds such action necessary.
MILITARY---his stay "south of the border," was a little after-dinner habit of the Yaqui Indians. The Yoquis had the quaint custom of ambushing parties which traveled the roads and killing at will, especially enjoying the destruction of Mexicans.

Lewis Holds Out For Wage Raise
Mr. Green and his brother, Mont J. Green, have built several buildings on the campus, including the Mineral Research building, for which Basil Green has the completion contract.
Washington, (INS) — The United States government and John L. Lewis yesterday clashed in two critical labor controversies with a possibility that the final outcome will be a strike of soft coal miners and the army taking over a vital war plant.
The developments are:
1. Lewis defiantly refused to appear before a meeting of the War Labor Board which met in an attempt to end the long wage deadlock between the powerful labor chiefship and soft coal operators.
2. President Roosevelt, a short time later, ordered striking members of Lewis' union to return to work at the Celanese plant at Newark, N. J., or the army will take it over.
Thus the stage was set for a final showdown between the White House and labor's most forceful leader.
Lewis and the soft coal operators have been deadlocked since mid March on the demands of the miners for a $2 a day increase.
Members of Lewis' UMW (Dist. 50) have been on strike at the Celanese plant for 12 days and have established a picket line in defiance of the president's no-srtike order and of the WLB.
Tokyo Raid Japs Now Lead Hate Parade
By WALTER KIERNAN
BY WALTER KLEIENAN After what the Japs did to our fliers it's going to be difficult to keep our minds on the strategy of knocking Germany out of the war first.
There may not be much choice between the ruthlessness of the Nazis and the Japs, but at the moment the dirty little Nips are leading our hate parade.
If we needed anything to steam up our interest in the war in the Pacific, this is it.
And now that we've got it, what are we going to do about it?
All the indignant speeches of officialdom put together don't disturb the compacency of the scurvy little bandits of Tokyo.
But waves of bombers will.
And that's not an original thought —every fighting man in the Pacific has been looking for the arrival of more bombers since before the Philippines fell.
Thought for the day: put up or shut up . . . that's the way wars are fought.

Mexico, Then Siam Geologist Lee
"Suiting You, That's My Business"
Just Missed Being a Corpse
924 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Mass.
Geologist Wallace Lee, who began his colorful career in a secluded spot in Mexico some 60 miles from the nearest railroad station, has been at the University since 1937 on a cooperative state and federal geological survey project doing research on gas and oil deposits in northeastern Kansas.
One time, just before Lee began a trip over the highway he learned that the preceding party had been ambushed and murdered. Another time he was the last person to travel the road before the Yaquis struck again.
A bit of local color which Lee contended with throughout
But Wallace Lee's experiences in Mexico (near Sonora) are 'only a small part of his "experience book." His work with geology has carried him also to Siam and Central America.
Shortly after the last war Lee was sent to Siam where he lived for two years. It was necessary to learn the "tone" language spoken by the Siamese, in which the slightest difference in tonal quality can change the meaning of the word. "After two years I was able to send fairly well, but my receiving was still muddled."
Siamese Can't Be Monotones
He is unusual in that he has no hobby, but he is interested in many things. His collection of Siamese curios has been displayed in Spooner-Thayer museum.
Toward music he turns an appreciative ear. Composers? "Till go as far as Tschaikowsky." But he is not hep to rhumboogie, solid drumming, and wailing clarinets, adding with a smile, "I guess that dates me."

More Russian To Be Offered Next Semester
Two new courses, Masterpieces of Russian Literature in Translation I and II will be offered by the University next fall and spring semesters, Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College said yesterday. The new courses were approved by the faculty at their last meeting.
These two-hour courses will cover the chief literary works of modern Russia, with emphasis on the novel. Prof. John W. Ashton, chairman of the English department, will teach the courses, considering character traits, dominant ideas, and relationships with other European literatures.
In the first semester, writers from the time of Pushkin to Turgenev will be studied; and Tolstoy up to the modern Soviet writers will be taken up the second semester. The courses will be conducted in English.
Elementary Russian, a five-hour course, and Russian Reading and Grammar, a three-hour course, will be offered in the 16-weeks summer session, Dean Lawson said. The second course will be offered for the first time, and it will emphasize the spoken language.
Professor Rinehart Is Improved
Prof. George R. Rinehart of the journalism department is reported to be slightly improved today. He is convalescing at his home from a sinus infection. It is not known when he will be able to return to his work at the University.

Easter--l943--Is Time To Renew Faith Which Can Lead World to Future Peace
Easter—1943—a time when armored tanks make the triumphant entry into cities, when guns and bayonets have replaced the palm branches, and when battle cries drown out the joyous Hosannas and the silent murmuring of prayer.
Easter—1943—a time when the world is in a turmoil and is swept with a deluge of hate and destruction, with persons going individual ways forgetting the hope and the peace that still lin-gers as a spark waiting to be fanned into a living light.
So easy is it today to lose all sight of hope and of peace, and so easy is it to lose all faith in the future and in living. Constantly are the hearts of people—tortured and suppressed, tried and defeated—laboring and breaking under the strain. Readily do they let their will and determination crumble and their fight and resistance fade into despair.
"There is no tomorrow; the future is lost," they cry. And with sinking shoulders, they desert their beliefs in freedom, they slacken in their duty, and they turn their backs on the faith that could set them free. The promises of years ago are forgotten or are classed with those that weak men have made and broken. The words of the wise are re-echoed, but the ears of today do not hear.
Easter-a day when people everywhere who have known the way of peace and equality should lift their hearts once again and renew their faith. For today is a pledge of salvation, a promise of peace, a guarantee of life.
Cry of 'There Goes Freedom' Comes from Wise Men Too Late
Once upon a time there was a nation not like yours and mine, but a foolish, little nation made up of foolish, little people. They had not always been foolish. Once they had fought for their freedom, as all peoples must. Once they had been stalwart and brave and free thinking. But now they were just a foolish, little people with their foolish, little nation.
Their lives had changed a great deal since they had settled the country. They had developed their resources, built great machines, molded their society into a thing flexible and sturdy. They had put capable men into office, drawn up documents eloquent and noble, established institutions and cultures. But that was long ago, and the foolish people of today lived in the luxury their ancestors had wrought.
The foolish people had their institutions, their cultures, their freedoms. They had their civilization, and they enjoyed it—to the limit that they could enjoy anything. They sat back and watched machines do the work. In the time that they had left after watching the machines, they danced and played and learned strange vices. Yes, they were a foolish, little people.
Slowly but inevitably they forgot how to think. It was a gradual process, so gradual that nobody ever noticed, but one by one the thinkers were dropping away. Some of those departing cried out in dismay, but their cries were interpreted as the everlasting wail of the aged at the younger generation. Very soon, the foolish, little people began to take things
--for granted, little things at first, but then bigger and bigger things. They began to accept things as their natural rights: things like butter on their bread and meat on their plates and a car in every garage. They began to take for granted things like democracy and freedom.
Just Wondering
Why University women don't have enough manners not to stare at the sailors eating in the mess hall in the Memorial Union building.
--for granted, little things at first, but then bigger and bigger things. They began to accept things as their natural rights: things like butter on their bread and meat on their plates and a car in every garage. They began to take for granted things like democracy and freedom.
The foolish, little people forgot how to think, and other people began to do their thinking for them. A few people began to tell them what was good and what was bad, what was right and what was wrong, and the foolish, little people listened and believed, for they were too lazy to think for themselves. Then the people at the top began to define fundamental things for the people. They told the people what democracy was, what freedom was. And the foolish, little people listened and believed
The foolish, little people enjoyed their luxuries, never caring that the nation was falling into the hands of a few powerful men who defined for them the foundations of their culture. One sad day, the foolish, little people awoke—to find that their democracy was autocracy, that their freedom was slavery. They said to themselves: "This is what we have been needing. Our democracy was flabby and decadent. It had to go. We shall grow strong again in the service of our master. Heil!"
This is the way freedom goes—not with a bang, but a whimper.—J.G.

And beat him when he sneezes: Training--that is the thing. It is all that is wrong with most freshmen, besides a little ignorance that time alone can mellow. A freshman must be trained well and thoroughly. With patience and loving care one can transform him into a human being in little more than a year.
being in little more than a year.
Clyde A. Shockley, Carruth hall, is a fine example of what training can do. When he first came to the hall, he didn't know his left foot from his right. Now he knows his left foot from his right. When playing card games, he always marked his score down under the title, "Illustrious." Now they don't let him keep score any more. But the climax of all training is the telephone training. He has been taught to jump for the telephone and get it before it rings three times (three times and they make it hot for him). Now, wherever he is, at home or at friends, when the phone rings he makes a dive for it and gasps into the mouthpiece, "Carruth hall."

Only in the past two, years when Easter vacation has been entirely eliminated, have students been on the Hill for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. In previous years, the climax of the season was reached in the Palm Sunday communion and sun-rise service. Morning Services Held
Under the auspices of the Student Christian Federation, worship services were held this year in the chapel of Myers hall every morning of the week. The Sunrise service today climaxed the week. Newest feature of Holy Week on the Hill is the Good Friday convocation, held last year and this, as a result of students' remaining on the campus.
In past years morning worship services have been held every morning of the seven weeks of Lent. Holy Week is symbolic of the last week of Jesus' life, from the time of his triumphal entry into Jerusalem

Observe Holy Week New Tradition
By Jane Miner
A new tradition has been slowly growing on the campus for the past 10 years—the annual observance of Holy Week by students. Running from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, it has arisen spontaneously as a part of the recent Protestant trend to make more of the Lenten season and Holy Week, according to Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion.
to his resurrection on Easter Sunday. Thursday is observed as the day of Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples; and Friday, as the day of his trial and resurrection. Churchs Have Union Services.
Churches Have Union Service

Since the 1920's Lawrence churches have had a union Good Friday service. The University Holy Week may have grown from this, but more probable is the explanation that is has developed as a part of the churches to achieve a renewed interest of students in religious activities. And so the observance of Holy Week has developed on the Hill-another K.U. tradition.

It Shore Is A Job Advertising
By Mary Eleanor Fry
Writing copy for advertisements in the Kansan, looking for mats for these advertisements, and then chasing up and down the main drag of Lawrence to either sell or pick up advertisements—and cutting classes occasionally to get the job done—are features of the fascinating business side of the Daily Kansan.
Oliver Hughes, business manager, Betty Lou Perkins, advertising manager, Mary Eleanor Fry, assistant advertising manager, Mary Morrill, and Jane Miner are the chief aspirin-consumers in the business department.
They Think, Sleep, Maybe Eat Ads These students think advertising in the day time, dream about advertising (or advertisers) during the few hours they sleep, and if food rationing gets much worse and the coke and potato chip supply is further curtailed, they may eat advertisements too.
Pictures for advertisements, such as dancers at Wiedemann's or men in Ober's and Carl's, are obtained through the mat service. The illustrations are pictured in a sort of catalog; the one wanted for a particular advertisement is clipped from the catalog, pasted on the layout, and the actual mat is obtained at the Outlook office (no charge this time, Mr. Abels).
Damia Is Very Helpful
Once in a while the advertiser, if he has his own mat service, clips out the wrong mat and the staff, being human, doesn't notice the error until E. G. Stith, University press foreman, catches up with one of them about noon on the day it is to be printed.
Then is the time when another "member" of the department comes into his own. "Damja," the staff's can, has been used for many a quick trip down town to get a mat, or a late advertisement. (Ration board, please don't note: Damja is also used for a quick trip for a coke.)
Rather infrequently are the times that the mat specified by the merchant just can't be found. Then a shirt is a shirt, even though a sport shirt does look out of place in a dress shirt advertisement. National Ads Are Blessing
The national advertisements, such as those sent out by the cigarette and bottled beverage companies, are the advertising salesman's dream. They come through the mail, already electrotyped, and mounted on a block of wood, so all that needs to be done is to put them in the chase to be printed.
Just when the members of the business staff, as well as those upstairs on the news and editorial staffs, find time to study isn't known, except that they do. But any one of them will tell you that the experience is worth the headaches involved, and they wonder what kids without several extra-curriculars do to amuse themselves when they aren't in class.

"I want to call attention to the fact that the committee didn't distinguish between gross and dead-weight tons." Knox said at a news conference. "The figures are very seriously off. The committee apparently got them from unauthorized and uninformed sources because those figures (sinkings) have never been given out."

. "Air Force" is dedicated to the men and crew who loved and cherished "Mary Ann," their flying fortress. Tail-gunner John Garfield is shown in action.
I think many of us are confused about why we are fighting in this war; and for most of us I think it remains a question until we are called upon to make "supreme" sacrifices, or actually take part in mortal combat. I'd like to quote a letter written by an old friend of mine, a "Connecticut Yankee," who survived the ordeal at Pearl Harbor and until recently was stationed at the Topeka and Salina Air Bases. He writes from England, and we presume he is participating in the frequent bombings of the continent:
"It's hard to believe that the people in England have been getting about in complete darkness for over three years now. They've had the hell rationed out of them. Get hardly any meat at all—eat fish almost every day. You don't see anything but taxies, buses, and military vehicles on the road. Civilian driving has disappeared almost completely.
"We shouldn't complain about taxation. Britishers pay 50 per cent of their income in taxes. I make four times more money than my English counterpart and as much as the British flying major. No wonder we're all known as rich Americans. Seeing a little of the world—other peoples, makes you Oh, so proud to be an American—so thankful that there is an America. Please preserve it and help spread its good to others. There is so much misery over here. Our flag is worth fighting and working for with every ounce of blood and energy we have. War is hell—let's get it over with—now!"

40TH YEAR
NUMBER 116
K.U. Is Doing Its Part--at the University. These classes do not give the student credit hours toward a degree but they have been a part of the University's curriculum for nearly a year.
University Now Trains 1085 Students For War
That education has a vital role to play in the war effort is shown by the actual military training taking place on this campus. A survey was made by a Kansan reporter to show just how many persons are enrolled in these programs and to classify them according to their outline by the government and enrollment at K.U.
Approximately 1085 people are attending war training classes
Machinist Mates Is Largest Group The largest training group on the hill is the Naval unit of Machinist's Mates training in Fowler shops. Also attached to the same group and under the same officers is the cooks and bakers school.
The cooks and bakers school, composed of 26 trainees, assists in cooking the food for the several hundred Machinists' Mates and officers.
Thirteen Officers Head Training
Thirteen officers are responsible for the Naval Training Station and there is a total of 36 men attached to the ship's company, a permanent group. The ship also employs six civil service employees.
Sixty Women in Aeronautics Classes Sixty women are training for aeronautical technician jobs. These women are trained with different airplane companies and also a few government contracts.
The department of physics and electrical engineering is training 60 students, nearly all women, for jobs with the Radio Aircraft Laboratory, a branch of the United States Signal Corps at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio.
Marine Flyers, Too
The Marines have landed, too. Marine flyers, 35 of them, are training at the local airpot and living in the former Delta Chi fraternity house.

Connally Asks Bill To Outlaw Strikes
Washington, (INS)—With the nation facing a disastrous coal strike, Senator Tom Connally (D-Tex) today announced that he will ask the Senate Thursday to enact a bill outlawing all strikes.
"There are enough votes to pass it." he asserted.
He predicted its adoption.
With every indication in Washington pointing to a soft coal strike within the next 72 hours, Connally warned that he will seek passage of his own anti-strike measure.
The Connally bill authorized the President to take over plants or mines in the event of strikes, freeze labor relations during periods of controversy, and set up official wage boards to adjust disputes.
ROTC Announce Plans For Ball Thursday In Hoch
Adding the traditional formal military note to the University social season the annual ROTC ball scheduled for 8:45 p.m. Thursday in Hoch auditorium will provide a climax to Spring social events.
Strictly an invitational affair, the ball will feature a program presented by ROTC personnel and the music of the Bachmann and Pope orchestra.
Representatives of naval and military groups in this vicinity are expected to be present, and a large crowd is anticipated, according to Sgt. William Kollender of the military science department.
Orr To Be Speaker At Medical Banquet
Dr. Thomas G. Orr, professor of surgery at the University hospital at Kansas City, Kan., will be the main speaker at the annual Medical School banquet at 6 o'clock tomorrow evening in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
All pre-medical students who have been accepted for medical school have been invited to attend the banquet this year, students in charge of the banquet said, explaining that with the speed-up program in the medical school, it was believed that pre-medics should be allowed to attend this year.
School To Elect At Capers Lunch Thursday Noon
String Books Due May 6, for County Correspondence
County correspondents must turn in their string books to the alumni office by Thursday, May 6. Harlan Cope, chairman of the County Correspondents Bureau, announced this morning. Prizes will be awarded for the best string books.
Prizes will be awarded for quality, regularity, and originality. Judges will be a group of University staff member. First prize will be $25,
second prize $15, and third prize $5.
Ten $2 prizes will also be given.
Taking a half day vacation the School of Business will combine its school election with its new idea of a Commerce Capers luncheon at 12:30 Thursday noon, said Willis Tompkins, president of the school, yesterday.
Dissolving their former plan of having two political parties in the School of Business, the students will nominate their candidates from the floor and elect them after the Commerce Capers luncheon. All 1:30 and 2:30 classes in the School of Business will be dismissed for the election, Tompkins said.
During the last two years the School of Business has not had its traditional Business School Day, but this year the school has decided to revive the idea in a milder form of a luncheon known as the Commerce Capers. A skit, to be in the form of a take-off on professors and classes in the school, is being planned by a committee headed by Clarence Mollett, junior. Chancellor Dean W. Malott will give a short speech and Prof. John Ise of the School of Business, who holds a degree from the School of Fine Arts, will lead the singing, Tompkins said.
Tickets are available in the School of Business office or from Jane Lorimer or Marion Bunyard, Tompkins said.
Hense to Speak On Photography
Practical problems which face a news photographer will be discussed at 3:30 p.m., Thursday in 107 Journalism by Earl Hense, staff photographer of the Kansas City Star. All University persons who have an interest in news photography are invited to attend the meeting, explained Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, although Mr. Hense will be prepared to talk especially to students in the news photography course.
Photographs taken in the court room during the trial of George Welsh were taken by Mr. Hense for the Kansas City Star. The shot taken after the verdict is one of the best photographs of that type, believes Professor Beth. Mr. Hense will try to answer all questions which his hearers wish to ask about photographic techniques in the news field.
Hs has been a news photographer for more than 20 years; formerly he was on the staff of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
In Great Britain when the present supply is exhausted, women will be able to buy only one hat every three years.
Allies Take Leads In Two Theaters
(International News Service)
Bursting bombs exploding among vital military installations in two theaters of war today roared a new symphony of destruction for Adolf Hitler's fighting machine and the factory front that supplies it.
Competing with mechanical engineers from five other schools, Warren Snyder, senior engineer, won second place and a prize of $15 for presentation of his paper, "Bearing Strength of Plastics," at the student branch meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers held in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday and Friday.
Dlisburg, vital cog in Nazi war production, was hit by the R.A.F. in a night raid which was quickly followed by a flight
The two-day meeting was attended by "about 25 mechanical engineers from the University and a good representation of the faculty," said Prof. E. E. Ambrosius of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Snyder's Paper Places Second In ASME Meet
The other schools represented at the ASME student branch meeting were the University of Nebraska, the University of Missouri, Missouri School of Mines, Kansas State College, and Washington University at St. Louis.
WAAC Officer Talks To Senior Women
Telling senior women that the WAAC considers them good officer material, Miss Anne Lee Buchen, Third Officer of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps and assistant recruiting officer, Kansas City, spoke in Frank Strong hall yesterday afternoon.
"Any woman between the age of 21 and 44 who can pass the mental alertness test and is deemed eligible after an interview by a recruiting officer will be sent to Officer's Candidate's School," Miss Buchen said.
Lt. Buchen interviewed Mary Gans, Elaine Boney, and Mary Ethwyn Franks, all college seniors, last night in the office of Miss Florence Black, coordinator of military information for women. Miss Gans had already had her test, but Miss Boney and Miss Franks were tested and then interviewed.
With her assistant, Cpl. Hobbs, Lt. Buchen interviewed and gave mental alertness tests to other University women today in Miss Black's office.

And in the Tunisian theater, Allied planes battered the enemy in the combat area, pounded his supply lines at the rear, broke up at least one convoy raid and roared over Italy to blast an important airfield in the northernmost raid ever conducted by the command. Ground fighting meanwhile found the British and Americans etching out new gains.
Latest dispatches from other fighting fronts gave this picture.
Washington Announces 14 Raids
ing fronts gave us pictures. London -Between 300 and 400 British bombers,17 of which were lost, dropped a terrific weight of explosives on Duisberg, it was announced.
Moscow—Fighting on the Russian front switched abruptly from the far south of the late Ilmen and Volkhov river sectors to the northwest where the Nazis have launched small-scale drives against red defenders.
Washington- Fourteen more raids against Japanese positions in the ALEutians including one on Attu and 13 on Kiska, were carried out Sunday, the navy announced. The attacks broke a lull caused by bad weather which began last Tuesday.
The navy also revealed that Liberator bombers hit enemy positions at Kahili in the Shortland island area last Saturday. The announcement of the raids came soon after Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox had said air raids against the east and west American coasts were possible but unlikely.

WMC Plans To Order National Job-Wage Freeze
Washington, (INS) — Manpower Chief Paul V. Nutt said yesterday that the War Manpower Commission is "Looking at" a national stabilization agreement to provide full coverage for the entire nation under the recent job-wage freeze order.
At present, transfers for higher wages are possible in the 67 areas having labor stabilization programs, but there is no similar provision for communities without the voluntary labor-management agreement.
"The WMC Management - Labor committee will consider what may be done to give full coverage," he said, "In the meantime, all specific problems are being taken care of by common sense application on the part of our field offices."
Program Would Cover All Areas
McNutt said a national stabilization program, if adopted, would be designed to cover all non-stabilization areas, pending the adoption by an area of a specific plan.
He also told a news conference that there have been "no complaints" from ex-service men on the matter of finding jobs. Men discharged from the armed forces have been able to find employment, he said.
"Whether they all went back to their old jobs, I don't know," McNutt explained. "Probably many of them did, but some didn't want their old jobs back."
McNutt made the statement in pointing out that WMC could not guarantee seniority rights and re-employment of workers who shift jobs, although President Roosevelt has urged employers to make this guarantee. McNutt added that the Selective Service law attempted to guarantee reemployment of members of the armed forces at their old jobs.
Bolivian President Will Visit U.S. Early Next Month
Washington, (INS)—The State Department has announced that President Enrique Penaranda of Bolivia will visit the United States early next month. The Bolivian president is expected to arrive in Washington May 5, and will be a guest of President Roosevelt at the White House.
After remaining in the capital for about four days, he will visit war industries in Detroit and Buffalo and spend a few days in New York.

Elaborate Music Week Plans Are Near Completion
Plans for the elaborate American Music Week Festival to be held at the University are nearing completion, Dean Donald M. Swarthout, said today.
University musical organizations will take part in the music week activities. The a cappella choir and symphony orchestra will join forces in presenting "The Two America's," by Domenico Savino, an American composer. Mr. Savino will be here to conduct the number. The two organizations will also give "Song of Faith," by John Alden Carpenter, an American composer. This number which eulogizes America and the principles of democracy with snatches of "Yankee Doodle" incorporated in the score, has an impressive Washington "recitative" which will be read by Professor Robert Calderwood, of the speech department. The a cappella choir will combine with the University band in presenting "Marching Along," which includes several of the best known patriotic numbers such as "Anchors Aweigh," the "Marine Hymn," "Over There," and "Marching Along." This number will close the Gala Concert on Thursday evening which is the finale of Music Week.
Domenico Savino. Ferde Grofe, and Peter de Rose, well-known composers, are scheduled to arrive in Lawrence Wednesday evening to take charge of final rehearsals. Mr. Jack Robbins, president of the New York firm, the Robbins Music Company, who will remain throughout the week as a guest of Dr. Otto Miessner, will accompany them.

Patient On Meat Diet; OPA Blood Pressure Jumps
New York, (INS)—An unidentified physician's treatment for high blood pressure boosted the blood pressure of an OPA appeal board yesterday.
Ghost Voice Interrupts Broadcast
London, (INS)—A "ghost voice' interrupted German news broadcasts recently with a shouted declaration: "The German people want peace!"
One of his patients needs 126 red points a week instead of the customary 16, in order to buy 16 pounds of meat.
"Remember," said the voice. "U-boats cannot stop the Americans."
The patient is on a diet consisting of a small fat steak, a yeast cake, and a cup of black coffee at every meal.
When the Nazi news commentator reported that "in central and western Tunisia, the enemy drew up troops . . ." the ghost interrupted to add “. . . and scored big successes.”
And the ghost had the last word.
"Fight for the end of the war," he told German listeners. "That is the way to fight for the freedom of Germany."
Interned Flyer Asks To Join Ski Troops
Kenosha, Wis., (INS)—A member of Maj. Gen. James H. Doowlittle's Tokyo raiders who was interned in Russia after the bombing of the Japanese capital wants to join the Soviet ski troops, a letter from the flier disclosed today.
The flier is Sergi Thordore Laban, 27, who wrote his father, Henry Laban, Kenosha war worker, that the interned bomber crew is being treated as guests of honor and that he is learning to ski with Russian soldiers. In a letter dated Jan. 9, Laban said:
"I don't like this lying around doing nothing, and I'd like to join up with the Russian ski troops."
Sergt. Laban was awarded the distinguished service cross for his part in the Tokyo mission. The medal was presented to his father at a public ceremony in Kenosha.
Faint Fails To Disrupt NBC Concert
New York, (INS)—Not a single beat was lost when the second cell list suddenly fainted while Arturo Toscanini was conducting the N.B.C. symphony warbond concert at Carnegie Hall.
The cellist, Oswaldo Mazzuechi, collapsed during the playing of the second movement of Tehailokovsky's "Symphonie Pathetique" Sunday and Toscanini continued at though nothing unusual had happened although the cellist was only two rows in front of him.
Mazzuchi was carried to the wings. Only a few persons in the audience noticed the incident. The cellist was revived and taken home.

Return Of Sun Brings Baseball and Tennis
The return of the sun and the partially dry ground will bring back tennis matches and baseball games today, which have been postponed because of the weather. With exams approaching at a terrific rate, activities seem to pile up even though there is no midweek.
Dinners in the various houses for senior or special guests and hostess seem to take that.
and banquets seem to take the highlight. Tonight the Kansan Board dinner for members of the Journalism department will be held in the Colonial Tea Room.
Some wonder if there is to be any more spring at all for summer seems to be creeping up. Early morning sun and screeching of brids awakens students to the fact that one more day has gone by—with exams that much closer. However, all hope that exam week will be cool, at least not summer weatlier.

--did not finish in the first ten teams in the recent interscholastic meet here.
Jayhawk Jabberwock
By Matt Heuertz
DON ETTINGER IN LONDON
Pvt. Don Ettinger, a football and basketball sensation as a sophomore at the University last year, starred early this month in a basketball tournament which was staged in Royal Albert Hall, London.
Newsweek had this to say about the tournament. "From the outset it was apparent that there were only two strong teams in the competition, the London Base Command and the Grays. When they met in the finals the Grays were top heavy favorites. But London Base Command, sparked by a carrot topped center, Pvt. Don Ettinger, from Independence, Mo., and from the University of Kansas, took the lead in the first 5 minutes and never relinquished it." Ettinger's team won that final game, 52 to 43.
Over a thousand American troops and their British guests watched 16 service teams fight it out for the first basketball championship in the history of European theatre operations. From gilt-edged boxes, ordinarily occupied by members of the higher-up English class of people, soldiers gave referees a de luxe razzberry—most of the referees were army officers.
When the tournament was over "Stars and Stripes" the most famous service newspaper, gave the big event a subtle epitaph "A superduper athletic affair indeed—but we hope it doesn't become an annual event."
Former University athletes who were inducted into the Services about six weeks ago have been sent to various parts of the United States. Here are a few of those boys and their stations: Ray Evans, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Ralph Miller, Sheppard Field, Texas; Gene Sherwood, Gene Long, and Joe Roberts, Camp Roberts, Calif.; Otto Schnellbacher, Miami Beach, Fla.; Don Blair and Bill Brill, Fort McClellan, Ala.; and Floyd Svoboda, Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.

Rifle Teams Will Not Take Part This Year In Interstate Meet

Tenth Anniversary--burned and banished books in Europe.
Display of 'Verboten' Books Is In Library
The 10th anniversary of the "Burning of the Books" in Germany is being commemorated on the campus by a display of the forbidden literature which is now on exhibition on the second floor of Watson library. This exhibit was arranged through the suggestion of the joint committee for the restoration of
The "Burning of the Books" took place in Germany on May 10, 1933. Student members of the Nazi party gathered in major cities of the Reich to burn literature which was considered dangerous to the furtherance of Nazi aims. Dr. Goebbels, minister of propaganda, in his speech that day, said, "These flames not only illuminate the end of the old era, they also light up the new. Never before have the young men had so good a right to clean up the debris of the past. If the old men do not understand what is going on, let them grasp that we young men have done it," and explained that the literature was destroyed "... by those who represent a nobler German." In Berlin, 20,000 volumes were burned; in Breslau 5,000 volumes were burned, and in Kiel, 2,000. The University of Munich furnished many of the books from its own library.
Among the authors whose works were burned were Germans such as Einstein, Mann, and Schiller. Milton, Tennyson, and Whitman were among the "non-Aryan" poets whose works were considered anti-Nazi.
Some of the works which at that time were burned, have since been accredited to "Aryan" sources and are used today, but only those which are considered essential for the success of Germany in its various conquests.
Class of 1918 Plans An"A" Card Reunion For May 16 Here
An "A Card Reunion," brought about by gasoline rationing, has been scheduled by the class of 1918 for 4:30 p.m., May 16, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association, said today.
Members of that class who live in or around Lawrence and who can get here on an A card, are expected to attend the reunion. Officers of the class are Carl Rice, Kansas City, chairman; Donald Davis, Kansas City, Mo., secretary, and Wilfred C. Wawn, Kansas City, treasurer.

(continued from page one) the Navy to its flyers is also offered by the University and the Navy has sent 80 men here to study the airplane and certain technical subjects. Regular Students in Reserve Forces
But the emphasis on war training does not stop with the story of the 1085. Nearly all of the men students attending regular University courses are in some branch of the armed forces on a reserve status.
The Army Enlisted Reserve Corps contains 250 students who will leave at the end of the current semester with possibilities of attending offi- ser's candidate school.
Although the Army Air Corps has supposedly called all its members to active duty 12 men still remain on the campus.
The Marine Corps Reserve and the Signal Corps Reserve each contain 15 members.
Navy Reserve Program Is Largest The Navy under its three reserve programs, V-1, V-5, and VV-7, has the largest enrollment of University students. V-5 members will leave school for training at the end of the current semester. Because of the rigid physical and mental condition required only 12 students are enrolled in this reserve.
The V-7 program has 132 students under its wings. Twenty members of this reserve will report for duty Apil 29 because when they answered a call from the Navy asking members of the V-7 to report for duty voluntarily ahead of their induction date. The remaining members of the V-7 program will be placed in uniform sometime this summer and allowed to continue school until they receive their degree.
V-1 Contains 130 Members
V-1 contains 130 members. Nearly all of these men are freshmen and sophomores and, if they are able to meet naval requirements, will be placed in uniforms and allowed to continue school until they have completed seven semesters.
The last reserve to come before the eye of the University student was the V-12 or A-12 reserve program. This program designed primarily for high school students has a number of University students enrolled in it. Results of qualifying tests have not been announced and so no definite figures are available on the number enrolled in the program.

Lt Reprimands Men For Using Flashlights; Then Falls In Garbage
"It's so light out there you can read a newspaper,' told them."
A Small Base in the Western Aleutians — (INS) — After extracting a promise to keep his identity secret, for obvious reasons, a young lieutenant in the artillery told this story about himself yesterday:
"Yesterday morning before breakfast I bawled hell out of my men for using their flashlights on the way to mess in the morning.
"Then I strutted out as dignified as I could, put my foot in a garbage bucket I didn't see and fell head over heels."
OPA Permit Mexicans Just South of Border To Buy Rationed Goods
Washington, (INS)—The OPA yesterday authorized approximately 250,000 Mexican residents living just south of the United States-Mexican border to buy rationed goods in this country.
The Mexican residents, who nominally obtain a substantial proportion of their supplies in the U.S., will be given the same ration allotments as citizens of this country.
Ration sharing is restricted to Mexicans living about 12 miles south of the Texas, Arizona and New Mexico borders, and about 55 miles south of the California border, it was explained.
ADPi's Entertain For Service Men
Featuring an intermission program of special musical numbers, the Alpha Delta Pi's sponsored the last service men's party at the Community building Saturday night.
The Golden Harp quartet made up of four boys who were members of Liberty Memorial High School Cameron White chorus, sang several Negro spirituals.
Favorite request numbers of the service men were sung by Mary Alice and Maxine Fringle, A D Pi twins from Wichita, who were accompanied by their mother, Mrs. Kenneth Fringle.
Chaperones for the dance were Mrs. C. L. Miller, chapter housemother; Mr. and Mrs. George Hedrick, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Houk, Dr. and Mrs. H. X. Dolan, and Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Ringler, all alumni.
Five Convicts Escape Through Ventilator Of Missouri Prison
Jefferson City, Mo., (INS)—Five convicts at the Missouri state penitentiary at Jefferson City escaped today by removing a ventilator grate and squeezing through a small opening.
Penal director Lloyd Miller said that four of the men were first termers and had been imprisoned only a short time. Three were under 21 years of age and were awaiting transfer to the state reformatory.

New Council Should Act Now to Fulfill Promise to Aid Students to Cash Checks
"We believe that an agency should be established on Campus where student checks may be cashed; we will work for the establishment of such an agency." Thus read one plank in the platform of the PWCL party, and the majority of women students of the University chorused "Amen."
It is to be hoped that the new Council will not again fall into petty bickering which have characterized previous student government organizations, but will tackle worthy projects such as this immediately and decisively. It is to be hoped that at the very first legislative meeting of the council, a bill will be introduced to establish an agency to cash student checks—the only requirement being that the activity ticket of the student be shown as a guarantee of good faith.
Now it is up to that party at the first opportunity, vigorously to promote and pass such a measure. It has been a source of irritation to students for many years that no agency upon the University will cash checks, that they must journey down town upon every occasion in which even the smallest sum of cash is needed. Grumbling on the subject has been heard for many years, but for the first time there seems to be a real possibility that something will be done to correct the situation.
There is no reason for any delay in action whether it be till the next meeting or the next semester. The measure should be acted upon promptly and favorably.
Germany has also hit a manpower shortage crisis. According to a recent report coming from a neutral country the Nazis are recruiting women as members of the Gestapo.
Women Have Equality With Men As Doctors In Armed Forces
A bill signed by the President of the United States last week gave women doctors equal status with men in the army and navy for the first time in history. Going one step farther than the First World War, the bill removed the practice common at that time in which only a few women doctors with the forces were hired under contract.
With this new method the United States adopts a similar policy used by the Russians. In that country half of the doctors are women and many are with the army itself. In Britain also is there a system where regular army doctors are used for home service. At present the army and navy do not indicate that they will use many of the women doctors and, no doubt, none will be used at the front. The navy has definite plans for only 60 of the WAVES while the army will use about one woman medico to every 500 WAACS and in the country's hospitals where there are women patients.
Although these "women in white" will not be given a role in the midst of the fire of the battle lines, they will, nevertheless, add their part to the great task of keeping people fit for the war. Whether with soldiers, sailors, or civilians, the women in medicine at last have an equal place in the profession they have so long dared to enter. The barriers of sex have

been broken down, and the woman doctor left to care for those on the home front will not feel as though she is barred from offering her services to the fighting men if they are needed.
Most of the 8,000 women doctors will probably continue their work on the home field in trying to replace the great number of male doctors that have joined the forces to serve the men, but at least the gate way is open and the way is clear for them to take their places in the more active fight. Perhaps now at last the women in medicine will be given their full value, and they will prove to many doubters their worth and ability to do what heretofore has been called a "man's job."
Czechoslovak saboteurs are bravely continuing the fight against their aggressors. The newspaper, People, in London, reports that at least one million shells produced in Czechoslovakian factories for the Russian front in the last six months have proved duds.
Advisory physician to Congress recently advised members of the house and senate to arrange a vacation this summer if they hope to keep in good health. After some recent legislation, perhaps he was referring to a "run out powder."

Colonel And Minister Hill Chancellors
A bushy-visaged colonel and a be-whiskered Methodist minister hang intimately side by side against a cold, bleak wall, noncholantly ignored by passing generations.

No, none of these, but the portraits of two respected chancellors of the University, passed innumerable times by students traversing the second-floor corridor of Frank Strong hall. Pioneers in the early years of Kansas endeavors in the field of higher education, these two, Chancellor Fraser and Chancellor Marvin, represent a little-known era in the development of the University, as far as the majority of the students on the campus are concerned.
Notable Career in Education.
In 1868 when John Fraser appeared to assume the position of Chancellor of the Board of Regents and president of the faculty, he already had behind him a notable career in outstanding educational institutions. A graduate of the University of Aberdeen at the age of 17, this energetic Scotchman taught for several years in the Bermudas, then became president of the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania, and from there went to Jefferson college as a professor of mathematics and astronomy.
Arriving at the University of Kansas when this institution was housed in one inadequate building known as North College, situated near the present site of Corbin hall, and the total enrollment was tabulated at 120 students, the new Chancellor took immediate steps toward erecting another building. The result was Fraser hall, extravagantly
praised as the "largest school building in the country."
Eligible Young Bachelor
In addition to being the leading figure in academic development of the University, Chancellor Serger, as an eligible young bachelor, was also a social favorite; and it is significant commentary on his indomitable Scotch character that he wooed and won the most beautiful of his students.
An indication of the extent of his popularity may be found in the fact that when he took command of the 140th Pennsylvania Volunteers in 1862, he took a full company from Jefferson college, where he was teaching at the time. Near the close of the war between the states, Colonel Fraser was promoted to brigadier general for gallant conduct in battle. The story is told that, while a prisoner of the Confederates, he avoided shelter when prisoners were exposed to enemy fire, preferring instead to sit in the open with a pencil and paper figuring the curvature and distance of the course of the shells coming toward him.
Possessor of a Scotch Wit
Possessor of a lively Scotch wit, Chancellor Fraser was a constant source of amusement to his classes which were often reminded by the fact that "blessed is he that blowbelt his own horn, for he that blowbelt not his own horn the same shall not be blowed!" A student unfortunate enough to be named Ida Blood was often startled at hearing herself

'Christ As Apothecary . . .'
Drug Display Features Chemicals In Scriptures
Designed by University professors to represent a stained glass Gothic style window, the point display of Biblical drugs and chemicals set-up in the window of the Round Corner drug store is a colorful and unique exhibit.
Centered in the window is a purple shield lettered in white, identifying the window as being a display of "Drugs and Chemicals in the Scriptures." Be beneath, in smaller letters is a passage from Exodus 30:25. "And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary; it shall be an holy annointing oil."
Below the shield is an open Bible, and below it is a picture of Christ as an apothecary. This picture is taken from a seventeenth century German painting representing Christ as an apothecary of the soul.
Flanking the center shield, are two smaller gothic signs, identifying the chemistry exhibit on one side, and the pharmacy exhibit on the other. Mortar Represents Pharmacy
Representative of pharmacy is a seventeenth century mortar and pestle from the collection of Prof. L. D. Tavenhill. Beneath the mortar are our shelves, containing 13 drugs that are mentioned in the Bible. These include wormwood, sugar, mustard, oriander, olive oil, cinnamon, myrrh, aloe, camphor, mint, beeswax, frankincense, and almonds.
The chemistry side of the window is symbolized by a retort. Beneath the retort are four shelves holding 13 chemicals mentioned in the Bible, as collected by Dr. M. E. Weeks, professor of chemistry. These chemicals, art of Dr. Weeks' permanent display located in Bailey Chemical Laboratories, include gold, silver, tin, iron, sulfur, sodium carbonate (referred to as Nitre in the Bible), lime, salt, sphalt (as Slime in the Bible), stibite, sand, and glass.
The window is bordered on either de by a palm tree. Each set of selves is topped by a candelabra, embolic of the seven original nurhes.
professors Design Display
Dr. R. A. Bowers, professor of pharmacy, designed the window with a help of Dr. Weeks, professor of chemistry. Dr. Bowers has had similar days of some of the drugs mentioned in the Bible, and Dr. Reeks has a permanent exhibit of chemicals mentioned in the Bible. com the two separate exhibits, theea of a joint display originated. he two departments collaborated to reduce the impressive exhibit in the window of the Round Corner drug store at Eighth and Massachusetts. The old English lettering on the gns was done by Dorothy Wiggins, ne arts senior. Terry Crall, pharmacy dispensing clerk, helped assemble the drug collection. Two students, George Pierron, pharmacy minor, and Robert Allen, pharmacy minor, assisted Dr. Bowers install the window.

Helmet Saves Officer Under Fire In Tunis
Washington, (INS)—The war department today announced that a steel helmet "undoubtedly" saved the life of Lieut. Gen Lesley J. McNair, commander of armed ground forces, when he was wounded on the Tunisian front.
The official war department statement also revealed that the high ranking officer was wounded in the head and shoulder while observing heavy enemy artillery fire at a forward observation post on the north African front. The statement said that the general's wounds were "severe" but not critical.
In an official statement the department expanded on the brief announcement of yesterday when it was revealed that McNair had been wounded in action.
look the reins of the University in 1875.
Fraser hall at that time stoop desolately alone in a vast expanse of pasture with only one wing completed. No grading, no grass, and no trees brightened the "campus"; no records of students or University affairs were kept; and a publicity director was badly needed.
Acted as Publicity Director
These flaws the new Chancellor set about erasing, and during his administration the faculty increased from two to eighteen members; the student enrollment, from 194 to 582; and the library, from less than 1000 books to more than 6000. Chancellor Marvin, himself, acted as publicity director.
During this time he became a member of the Douglas County Horticultural Society, which was later responsible for the planting of the trees now growing on the campus. After the ground about Fraser hall had been graded, nurserymen offered to give trees to the University if the administration could manage to have them set out. The offer was accepted; and as a result, a University holiday was proclaimed while students and faculty attended a tree
Catroux Predicts French Agreement
Allied headquarters in North Africa, (INS)—A highly favorable report on his conversation with Gen. Henri Giraud was telegraphed to Gen. Charles DeGaulle today by his emissary, Gen. Georges Catroux.
Indicating possible early settlement of the political disputes which have prevented a union between Giraud and DeGaulle, Catroux's message reported a "preliminary agreement in principle" following several days of favorable conversations,
Eisenhower Tells Of Enemy Losses
Allied Headquarters in North Africa, (INS)—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Commander in Africa, gave the heavy toll in men and material exacted by the Allies from enemy forces from January 1 to the first half of April, yesterday.
During that period, Marsnall Rommell and Von Arnim lost 66-000 men killed, wounded, or taken prisoner in North Africa.
In material, General Eisenhower listed 250 panzers captured or destroyed, 3,000 assorted vehicles and 425 guns.
The total number of prisoners was 36,000, the remainder being killed or wounded.
More than 1,000 enemy planes were shot out of the skies and destroyed.

The alumni office has received word of the promotion of Chestine Wilson, who was graduated last year from the School of Fine Arts, to the publicity department of KMBC. She writes many of the advertising plays which are heard over that station. Miss Wilson was formerly secretary to the station's home economist.

Tunisian Desert
'Sand' Is Dirt
Champaign, Ill., (INS)—The sands of the desert in Tunisia are not sand at all but are powered dirt.
Under this dirt, powdered as fine as face powder, lies solid clay and the whole area is an excellent battle ground for mechanized monsters of war but of no value for anything else.
This is the analysis of the fairytale land of the sheik, the siren and the foreign legion sent to the University of Illinois Alumni Association by Lt. John Cressman, a chemist.

Journalism Is Open To Other Majors
Attractive job offers from newspaper publishers crowd the Journalism building bulletin board these days, indicative of the 7,000 shortage of editorial and advertising workers which has developed in the publishing business. Most of the offers are for women. A recent nation-wide survey showed, furthermore, that all of the 1943 graduates of journalism schools will fill not more than 1,000 of the jobs open
"To help meet this difficult war time problem of publishers," declares Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, "we suggest that women who are majoring in non-technical departments (that is, those who have not been training for a articular vocation or profession) might consider electing several fundamental journalism courses to prepare for war time jobs in the publishing field.
English Major Goes Into Journalism
"If a major in one of the liberal arts departments completes successfully courses in reporting, editing, advertising, and publishing—a total of 11 or 12 credits—under our direction, this department will assist in 'placing' that graduate in a newspaper job. We will explain to the publisher that the applicant is not a journalism graduate but that she or he has completed the foundation 'know-how' courses."
Miss N. Jane Miner, a major in English, is completing electives in journalism this semester and has already been recommended to several interested publishers. The courses to be offered in the 16-weeks term this summer will make it possible for non-majors to complete the elective sequence a semester earlier.
"Some schools of journalism are trying to train freshmen and sophomores to fill some of the thousands of journalism jobs," explained Professor Beth, "but our department doesn't believe such quickie courses are fair to the student or helpful to the publisher.
War Opens Journalism for Women "We think it sounder to invite interested students, who will finish degrees in the various liberal arts majors, to consider preparing themselves for beginning jobs in the publishing field by simply electing 11 or 12 hours of the foundation work in journalism. The present emergency

Plans for the YWCA picnic to be held at 4:30, Thursday afternoon at Potter's lake were made at a meeting of the new YWCA cabinet yesterday afternoon. Cabinet members were urged by Cara Shoemaker, YWCA president, to ask all YW members to send in their cards by Thursday morning if they wished to come to the picnic.
"AT THE FRONT IN NORTHERN AFRICA"
The cabinet decided to make any necessary changes in the constitution with the consent of all YW members at the picnic. The 26 new cabinet members talked over plans for future cabinet meetings and discussed the idea of having each member of the cabinet sit in on meetings of the YWCA board.

Miners Strike; Refuse Demands Of Steel Formula
(International News Service)
With only three days to go before the temporary agreement, under which American soft coal miners have been operating expires, sporadic strikes and union and government moves brought the turbulent coal situation close to a showdown today. Developments were these:
New York: John L. Lewis was meeting the policy committee of the United Mine Workers union to decide the next step in the contract controversy which originated in the mine workers demands exceeding little steel formula.
Harlan, Ky.: Some 1,800 miners in three wives were on strike and there were indications that additional miners were ready to walk-out today.
Birmingham, Ala.: Seven mines struck without official sanction or disapproval remained closed. At another mine 4,000 miners returned to their jobs, but District 20 informed operators that the temporary working agreement would end Friday night.
Pittsburgh, Pa.: Unrest in this district resulted in a walk-out of 12,-500 miners and a loss of some 65,000 tons of coal per day.
Wallace Finds Latins Eager for War Work
Washington, (INS)—Vice-President Henry A. Wallace, back in Washington today from a good will tour to several Central and South American countries said that he found each country he visited anxious to help in the war effort.
"They seemed anxious to cooperate, whether it was in providing military bases or increasing production," he said.
Jeffers Inspects Synthetic Rubber Plants On Gulf
The head of rubber production for the government inspected the Port Arthur-Port Neces plant Sunday and said that all indications were that full operations would begin there in August or September.
Houston, Tex., (INS)—William M. Jeffers, national rubber director, continued an inspection yesterday of synthetic rubber manufacturing plants in the Gulf Coast section of Texas, expecting to arrive for an overnight stay in Houston late in the afternoon.
Goes on to Houston
The rubber production head said that while holders of the B and C cards might obtain certificates to purchase the new tires, they also might not find them as plentiful on the market, as desirable for sometime to come. Side Steps Question:
He then went on to Houston for a few minutes stop, enroute to Galveston. When in Houston he told news reporters that he was fully confident the nation's synthetic rubber program and production would keep essential transportation rolling, but intimated that he believed that the release of grade 1 tires to autoists who have ration cards permitting driving more than 240 miles a month, did not mean, as yet, as much as some news stories had indicated.
Jeffers turned off questions about differences of opinion between him
Side-Steps Questions
The United States, he declared, will receive "quite a bit" of natural rubber from Central and South America which will be of value in the synthetic rubber program.
Many Central and South American countries are suffering keenly from lack of shipping facilities Wallace pointed out. Many are unable to import food and other products.
Realization Lacking of Shipping Situation
"I think no country realizes how difficult it is to supply ships to carry the goods they need," he said "they are anxious to get ships. They are suffering greatly."
Wallace said government, business and labor leaders accepted his explanation of the necessity of supplying soldiers over seas first of all Shipping Situation May Get Worse "I told them that for a few month the shipping situation might ge worse," he said.
Wallace declared that he saw little evidence of Axis propaganda in the countries he visited. There was, re-added, a strong anti-fascist feeling especially among labor unions who hate Hitler. Banished Republican leaders are organizing in various countries, and are protesting agains imprisonment of Republicans in Spain, he reported.
Jeffers planned to leave Houston today so as to be in Washington Wednesday. He said reports to him indicated the synthetic rubber production progress in the Gulf Coas area to be in good shape.

ROTC Has Post Hop
Women Voters Convene Here
In keeping with the prevailing martial spirit of a wartime America, the annual ROTC ball tomorrow night will carry on a tradition established at the University in 1920.
Working on this purpose the League has distributed three broadsides recently giving facts on lendlease, isolation, and reciprocal trade agreements.
Nearly 125 delegates from Manhattan, Wichita, Sedgewick county, Topeka, and Lawrence gathered for the one-day conference. Meeting in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building for lunch, the delegates heard Mrs. Bailey Calvin, Galveston, Texas, representative of the National Board of the League explain that their purpose as a non-partisan body was "to improve the quality of representative government by letting the people know what is happening in the world."
In that year a military post hop in imitation of regular army post formals was planned, and the evening's entertainment consisted of "30 straight dances with no encores allowed and timed intervals between each dance."
Always a strictly invitation affair, the ball of 1922 was invaded by two gate-crashers who, masquerading in ROTC uniforms, enjoyed the festivities until discovery placed them in danger of court martial. The records indicate that the two delinquents chose' present public apologies to the local unit rather than pay the $300 fine to which such uninvited guests were subject.
Other officers elected were Mrs. L. E. Anderson, Lawrence, vicepresident; and Mrs. E. C. Rainey, Wichita, Sedgewick County League, secretary. This year's president was Mrs. Witterman, Wichita.
1922 Ball Had Gate Chashers
1920 Traditions To Be Continued Tomorrow Night
Personnel programs have been featured since 1925 when the ROTC quartet shared honors with two professional entertainers in presenting the evening's entertainment which featured the music of the Isenhart-Jenks 12-piece orchestra.
Plans for this year's ball will also include a program presented by the personnel of the military science department, according to Sgt. William Kolllender, and a large crowd is expected to attend, Sgt. Kolllender stated.

While the President said that he had no concrete plan in mind, such a program, involving a year of compulsory service by young men and women was foreseen as a possibility. They would be called to make a "citizen contribution" to the government of one year's service upon leaving either high school or college, according to plans that are in the development stage. Wartime facilities which the President wants considered would include dormitories and school centers, should such a program achieve congressional approval.
The President left Washington on April 13 and made the first stop of his inspection trip at the marine basic training base at Parris Island, S.C.
Then in succession he visited Maxwell Field, Ala.; Ft. Benning, Ga.; Warm Springs, Ga.; and continued on to Ft.

Outer Lettuce Leaves Rescued Garbage Has Vitamin A
Washington, (INS)—Tons of lettuce leaves, hitherto useless, will soon be converted into vitally needed vitamin A, it was learned today.
By means of a newly developed process, chemical engineer Jorgen D. Bering of Los Angeles hopes to transform outer let-
By means of a newly develop Jorgen D. Bering of Los Angelesuce leaves—now thrown away for beauty's sake—into carotene, or pro-vitamin A.
Bering's scheme has the federal government's approval. His idea was encouraged by the food distribution administration and the WPB has granted him priorities for construction of a west coast plant.
The Bering plant, privately financed, will begin production in May and will be able to handle 250 tons of once-discarded leaves daily.
Already used to fortify milk and to color butter and margarine, carotene is a valuable human and livestock feed, experts said. And lettuce's outer leaves are much richer in carotene than the leaves housewives buy at the corner store.
London, (INS)—The Polish government today reaffirmed its policy of seeking a friendly understanding with Russia after a cabinet meeting which followed a conference of British and Polish officials.
British, Polish Officials Confer
Immediate reaction in Soviet circles was that the Polish reaffirmation offered no new means of approach toward settlement of the delicate situation.
As if in response to reports that Moscow would be more willing to reopen diplomatic relations if a new government were formed, however, the statement said that the present regime has the full support of the Polish nation.
The statement was issued after a meeting of the cabinet which was preceded by a conference at 10 Downing street, attended by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, Premier Gen. Wiladyslaw and Foreign Ministre Count Edward Raezynski.

OPA Personnel May Be Changed
Washington, (INS)—A personnel shakeup in OPA was indicated yesterday in Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown's refusal to submit to the War Manpower Commission a list of deferrable personnel at this time.
Brown disclosed he would delay submission of a list of the agency's key personnel pending completion of a reorganization survey currently being made by former senator Clyde Herring, administrative assistant to Brown.
In a memorandum to all OPA department heads, Brown said:

Albuquerque, N. M., (ACP) — After the army air corps announced it would train meteorological students at the University of New Mexico, the faculty of the English department prepared for the customary tussle with comma splices, dangling participles, and split infinitives.
Dr. T. M. Pearce, head of the department, outlined the "Written and Oral Communication" courses for the soldiers, and waved before his colleagues a military phamphlet on military 'correspondence form, mentioning it as one of the text-books to be used.
A few minutes later Sgt. Clarence H. Grasso approached Dr. Pearce apologetically, "Would it be proper for me to introduce myself?" he asked. "I helped to write the army book you mentioned that we are going to use in class."

Recent additions to the Dyche fossil collection include a cast of a bird egg with some of the imprints of the shell still attached, a fossil turtle, and the skull of an oredon. The oredon, which was a cross between a pig and a sheep, became extinct about the close of the lower pliocene period.

President Orders Mine Workers To End Strike
Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt today ordered striking miners of John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers union to end their "strike against the United States government" by Saturday morning at 10 a.m. or face a declaration of martial law and the use of troops.
Mr. Roosevelt, in telegrams to Lewis and Thomas Kennedy, UMW, secretary, said that he was making a friendly appeal to miners now on strike to get back into the coal pits. But the fact that he set a 10 o'clock Saturday deadline made the appeal tantamount to a flat ultimatum. If the miners reject the appeal, the president warned:
"I shall use all the power vested in me as president and as commander-in-chief of the army and navy to protect the national interest and to prevent further interference with the successful prosecution of the war."
White river deposits near Scenic, S.D. They were given to the University by Mr.J.M.Jewett of the Kansas Geological Survey.

Dances, dinners, and a skating party are on the slate for tomorrow night, but the trip to Topeka on horseback by some of Mr. Mott's equitation classes must not be forgotten.
This trip to Topeka will start early tomorrow morning and students will return by Saturday afternoon. Better weather than that encountered last fall on the trip—when sleet and rain pommeledriders, is hoped for. Saturday another dance and a chicken fry are scheduled. Most of the weekend activities are outdoors with many picnics in every spare field or meadow.

Columbia, Mo. (INS) — Taney county claimed another honor yesterday in the nation's second war loan drive. The county was the first in Missouri to reach its $50,000 goal and did it three days before the drive officially opened. Today, war loan drive officials reported Taney county has doubled its original quota with subscriptions totaling $100,000.

King Cotton Reigns In Wartime World
Women's wartime stockings are a far cry from army camps, geographically speaking; but if the family trees of some of the materials that make up both were analyzed, their relationship through King Cotton would be firmly established. For the same cotton threads that go into those cotton mesh hose that your friends wore with their tweed suits this spring are also doing girl friend
friends wore with their tweed suits this spring are also doing overtime duty in your cousin Joe's army camp.
From the time that Joe was drafted, he began to live and move in cotton. The first morning Joe was awakened at 5:30 by the bugler he probably washed his face in a folding cotton basin or bathed in a collapsible tub and dried himself on cotton towels. If he was initiated into the royal order of kitchen police immediately, he was surrounded by butchers, bakers and cooks who wore durable white cotton fabric uniforms. The potatoes that he carried that day were probably wrapped in cotton bags.
When Joe's orders of the day included detail duty, he wore the overalls and denim cap that were issued him at the reception center. Cotton For Outings"
As soon as Joe began to get the drift of what was going on, he was doubtless assigned to field duty. The cotton pup tent, the rubberized cotton poncho, and his sleeping bag covered with waterproof cotton fabric were indispensible in the "outing."
When Joe finally stumbled back to camp to live the normal life of a soldier, he "put up for the night" in cotton underclothes and slept in a cotton-stuffed mattress covered with cotton ticking. Under his bunk or behind it, were the two cotton barracks bags that contained his
girl friend's picture and the other small articles he was permitted to have.
Cotton In The Rain
On Saturday afternoon, Joe put on his uniform of combed twill to make a good impression on the girls at the U. S. O. in town. The material of this uniform is considered so good that the Australian government decided to outfit their soldiers in it.
In case Joe spent the next weeks doing guard duty in the rain, he was protected by a specially treated cotton rainycoat. As soon as the rain was over, Joe folded the coat into a bundle about the size of a tobacco pouch.
The day Joe was promoted to private first class he sewed a cotton stripe on his sleeve. If with his promotion came orders for Australia, he received a new cotton outfit. Even the combat kit that was issued him was cotton.
Hospital supplies, machine-gun belts, camouflage nets, powder bags, flotation gears and a dozen other things that Joe uses in the game of war originated in the cotton fields of the "deep South."

BASKETBALL AND THE BRITISH
Our native sport of basketball is certainly not very well known in England- it's probably not rough enough for the British who prefer to play soccer and rugby.
While ex-Jayhawner basketballer Don Ettinger's London Base Command was playing the Grays for the championship of the United States Service teams in England, one young English lady sniffed: "Why, that's not basketskat at all, actually, that's netball, a game for veddy young girls."
The tournament was a rather vague affair at times because the location of divisional teams outside of London couldn't be divulged. At one time it came close to being downright mysterious. Uniforms, ordered by the Red Cross for the occasion, were all made white with black numbers by an ignorant manufacturer—thus making the game difficult to follow even for the American soldier spectators.

Typical American Not Draft Dodger
New York, (INS) — Maynard Johnson, the "typical American" who posed for a War bond picture captioned: "Remember me? I was at Bataan," isn't going to be prosecuted for draft dodging after all.
J. Gerard Cregan, assistant U.S. attorney, said Johnson had promised to make up his deficiencies under the law.
Johnson was released by federal authorities after the 38-year-old restaurant worker convinced their failure to return his questionnaire or to report for a physical examination was not a "wilful violation" of the Selective Service act.

Because of a lack of strength in the middle distance runs and in weight events, Shenk does not believe that his team will defeat the Wildcats.
Tom Scofield, who tied for second in the high jump at the Drake Relays, is favored to win that event despite competition from the Wildcat's Lill.
Val Schloesser, only returning letterman from last year, is favored to take the pole vault if he can borrow a pole from his opponents. The only Kansas vauling pole was broken last week while Jimmy Walker was vaulting. Walker suffered chest injuries but will probably be recovered enough to compete Saturday.

OPA Lifts Price Ceiling On Wigs and Toupees
New York, (INS)—"The price ceiling on novelties made of butterfly wings has been lifted," remarked Mrs. Joe Citizen today.
"The What?" asked Mr. Citizen.
"You heard me," replied his spouse. "Also the price ceiling on lightning rods, wrought iron fences and the rental of dress suits."
"What's the big idea?" asked Mr. Citizen.
"I don't know," said the little woman, "I think maybe OPA is cracking. They've let down the bars something awful in the last couple of days. Imagine . . . no more ceilings on shoe horns or sea shells!"
"This is terrible," said Mr. Citizen. "We're in for an awful trimming the next time we go out to buy a wrought iron fence or a shoe horn."
"What did we do with the old one?" asked Mrs. Citizen.
"We lost the shoe horn," said Mr. Citizen. "I think the wrought iron fence is in the top drawer of your bureau. Do you mean to tell me that price control has collapsed?"
"Practically," said Mrs. Citizen.
"The they can get anything they want now for comb cleaners, tie racks, music boxes and glass flowers."
"Artificial fruit, too?" asked Mr. Citizen.
"Artificial fruit, too," said Mrs. Citizen, "and weather vanes, cathedral glass and push cushions."
"Can nothing stem the tide?" asked
edr. Citizen.
"Apparently not," said Mrs. Citizen. "It is running out of bounds. Even wigs and toupees have been recklessly stricken from the controlled price lists."
"Poor Benny," said Mr. Citizen.
"Poor, poor, Jessel."
"They tell me Tokyo has a ceiling on bombs," said Mrs. Citizen.
"That will be knocked off too," said Mr. Citizen.

Ft. Riley, (INS)—April 25—Delayed—President Roosevelt, homeward bound from his historic conferences in Monterrey, Mexico, today visited Ft. Riley and attended Easter Sunday religious services with 15,000 men of the ninth armored division. After the services Mr. Roosevelt toured the military establishment and ate lunch with 600 officer candidates at school on the post.
Accompanying the president during his stop here were Gov. Andrew Schoeppel of Kansas, Major Gen. John R. Leonard, commanding the ninth armored division and two other general officers.
Speaking extemporaneously at the luncheon immediately following a vocal solo of his favorite song "Home on the Range," the president commended the appearance of the camp with these words:
"It seems to me that you have a happy home on the range here."
War Gases
Not So Bad,
Dean Says
Detroit, (ACP)—Poison war gases are not the horrible weapons men imagine, Dean C. D. Leake of the University of Texas School of Medicine told the American Chemical society recently.
Moreover, he said, the ordinary citizen may easily take care of himself with equipment readily available in every household.
A wet cloth or handkerchief over the nose and mouth makes a fair mask for gas concentrations civilians might encounter.
Kitchen bleach, if soaked into the handkerchief, will destroy most war gases. If eyes, nose or throat are irritated, they should be washed with a solution of a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water.
If liquid gas is spattered on clothing, take it off in a hurry and throw it out a window. If the liquid spatters on the skin, daub, don't rub, with a cloth wet with a kitchen bleach, or with soap and water.

Womanpower Shortage Noticeable In Nursing
Washington, (ACP)—Attention of tomorrow's career women is hereby directed to today's number one womanpower shortage nursing.
Public health officials in Washington are gravely concerned about this shortage. Fighting and working America must be kept well. It takes good nursing to do it. Thousands of nursing vacancies now
Industrial Towns Suffer Most
The result is tremendous pressure on available nurses . . . and average of 2.54 patients per nurse every 24 hours including all administrators, supervisors, instructors, staff nurses, and student nurses . . . 10 patients per nurse in tuberculosis hospitals . . . 75 patients per nurse in mental hospitals.
Unless the nation's nurse power is reinforced by enrollment of 65,000 students in nursing schools this year, America faces a real threat of great suffering and loss of life through epidemics, disaster, accidents, or enemy action.
The statistics which picture this shortage are astounding, especially for industrial boom towns near war plants. Thousands of nurses are in demand in such spots—yet hospitals are frequently non-existent. Sometimes even doctors are not available.
The average number of patients under treatment in hospitals at any one time has increased 8 per cent over 1941 and is mounting steadily.
Thousands of nursing vacancies now exist in government and civilian institutions.
The shortage is aggravated by entrance of about 33,000 nurses into the Army and Navy nurse corps, which still require 3,000 more each month.
More and more nurses—65,000 more this year-is the only hope of thousands of sick and injured. That's a wartime challenge to women to plan their lives so that others may live.

University Alumni Association Offers Feeling Of Unity Among All Graduates
One of the most worthy and important organizations connected with the University now, in the past, or in the future is that of the KU Alumni Association. Since its formation in 1883, the association has served both school and students in such a way as to bind together in spirit and companionship all who have entered their names on the registration books. Among all students from the first to the present freshman class, there is a tie and bond centered in the University Alumni'Association.
During the 19 years following its establishment, the association's main activities included annual meetings, speeches, resolutions, and banquets. As the organization grew, however these interests and activities broadened until today they cover the 48 states. The Graduate Magazine, monthly publication of the Alumni Association giving news and stories about the University and its former students, was started in 1902. With the Graduate Magazine developed the method of records in the form of alumni catalogs or directories, which are large books containing the names and addresses and occupations of the graduates. The first of this type of directory was published in 1890 and the last, which contained 1200 names, came out in 1928.
The alumni office now has names of approximately 32,000 living graduates, and former students who were not graduates. In the files of the office are pictures, clippings, and biographical and scholastic data on all the students recorded. Alumni organizations and clubs are in operation all over the country under the direction of the KU Alumni Association.
The real value of the Alumni Association can not be fully appreciated by students while they are in school, but the time will undoubtedly come, after they have left the University, when they will understand and praise the work of the organization. To know that the great body of University graduates is bound together is a feeling of unity that only such an organization as this can present.
Students are wrong if they feel that their connections with the University are severed with graduation. It is through interested alumni that the University and the Alumni Association are able to carry on and to receive the support needed. This is a duty that comes to life with Commencement and grows as each student advances through life and becomes more and more in a position to add strength and backing to the college and the alumni group.
"For the purpose of forming a closer bond among ourselves and maintaining our interest in our Alma Mater, we, the Alumni of the University of Kansas, do hereby unite ourselves into an association." What quotation could be more fitting to explain the past and the future of the Alumni Association than this part of the association's preamble, and what quotation could mean more to the students, to the University, and to the association itself?
Just Wondering
If this year people will be comfortable at Commencement instead of sweltering in their caps and gowns as they usually do when the exercises are held in June.
Memories of Lilacs in Spring Are Cherished on Battlefield
Lilacs, glowing purple in the dawn; flowers, delicate and rare; spring, peering coyly around the corner—spring, it is almost here. How strange that it should come so soon, so suddenly.
Lilacs and blood-red flowers springing through the mud. And the quickening southern breeze that reeks with the scent of death. Spring comes, and we are waiting.
There are no lilacs here, no blood-red flowers. Our blood is red enough, but we have no time for blossoms or for spring. We can not offer them the loving care they need. For we have work to do, and spring is coming.
We have no time for lilacs. Lilacs are for those who can enjoy them, whose senses are alive to scent and hue. Our senses have been shocked and deadened with the bomb and shell. Lilacs are not for us, for spring is coming.
Lilacs are for those who can enjoy them. We cannot find them on our battlefields; they do not camoufiage our shell-pocked hills. But we know them, for they are a part of us, the part we left behind. We hold the memory tight, for spring is coming.
We must remember them, the blue, the white, the purple. We must remember how they scent the air upon a soft spring night. We must remember where they grow, where they bring the heavens down to earth. We must remember, for spring is coming.
We are waiting. The mud lies deep along the trench, but spring is balmy in the air. The odor of death drifts in across the plains, and we remember. Spring is coming, and with the spring we must advance.
The lilacs may not bloom for us another spring.—J.G.

Rock Chalk Talk
A strange lot, these journalists: Peggy McConnell and Bob Schultheis, Delt, arrived at the Colonial Tea room for the Kansan Board Dinner Tuesday in an open car. The machine was driven by a man with a shot gun across his knee and guarded from the back seat by another vigilante holding a rifle in either hand. When the car stopped the two jumped out of the car and kept Schultheis covered until he was safely the outside of other murders on the porch.

The Pee Wee Kansan is a four page publication which appears annually on the day of the Kansan Board Banquet (that was Tuesday this year). The publication isn't exactly legitimate. It's genetics: "entered as lower-class matter February 30, 1942, under the act of the Men's Student Council, passed February 29, '942, and immediately repealed by the Chancellor."
***
A shade off: Journalism man of the year, John Conard, proved his genius beyond dispute in connection with the Pee Wee by being co-author of a Rock Chalk column so libelous that not even one item passed the Kansan's censor bureau—which always in the past has shown itself to be conveniently ignorant of the finer facts of life.
Just to prove it—this Rock Chalk was much lower than the Pee Wee social column and the Pee Wee social column ran:
CHI OMEGA . . . Danny Bachmann was a weekend guest.
THETA SIGMA PHI . . . will hold a beerbust tonight at Eagle's Nest. Members will please bring their own pretzels.

Housemothers Beware Raid Ice-boxes
By JANE JONES
Hunger in the '80's started students on a career of crime when they were forced to raid their housemother's ice boxes if they wanted cheese sandwiches other than at meal time.
In 1887, an enterprising young man by the name of George Falley, decided he could make a comfortabe living for himself.
by dishing out hot dogs and tomato soup to campus "personalities." Falley was permitted-to use a basement room in Fraser. In this room, where the only interior decorations wee a stove and a lunch counter, he began serving meals to students. Thus, the first eating house on the Hill was born.
The eating house was very popular with students. One night during its first year of business, a careless helper almost succeeded in destroying the lunch room by fire and burning down Fraser hall as well. Records do not show whether it was the administration's determination to keep its buildings intact or Falley's disappointment in his new business venture that kept the lunch room from opening a second year.
New Jelly Joint Appears
Several years passed before University collegians had another "Jelly joint". Seven years later, Billy Reynolds, a senior at the University, opened a lunch room just off the campus, which was known as The Oread cafe, Billies', and The Dog House. At first, the eating house was nothing more than a lunch room on wheels, but Reynolds soon converted it into a more permanent structure. Billies' reputation as a gossip center, date bureau, and
"beauty barometer" of the Hill probably drew as big a crowd as the food that was served. "The lunch wagon on wheels" closed in the fall of 1911.
The closing of Billies' directed the attention of University authorities to the eating problem which existed on the campus, and shortly afterward, it was announced that a University cafeteria would open the next semester. In the spring of 1912, a cafeteria operated by the home economics department was opened in the basement of Fraser. Because the home economics department needed more room for its teaching, and no other rooms were available, the cafeteria was abandoned in less than a year.
Bricks Opens in 1914
Bricks was the next eating house to be opened on the Hill. In the spring of 1914, E. C. Bricken, purchased the Oread cafe. He ran the place for nine years before he sold it. "Bricks" had become so popular with students that the original nickname was retained.
There was still no eating place directly on the campus until the University, through the cooperation with the home economics depart-

War Information Library Displays Current Maps
Current maps may be found on the east wall of the War Information library. There are usually three kinds on display each week.
World News of the Week is a combination of important news events and illustrative map work. The Foreign Policy association puts out a weekly map which this week is of Australia and
New Zealand. The Tunisian warfront is illustrated in detail by Newsmap. It makes clear, for example, such points as why the British eight army is not taking the shore-line route to Hammanet and across to Tunis. Dense marshes have made a barrier.
Newsmap magazine is also available. It is displayed on a small table near the wall maps. A large Newsmap can be seen on the bulletin board between the doors which lead into the main reference room on the second floor of Watson library. All of these maps may be studied by faculty members, students, and townspeople.
Music Literature Also Posted
In addition there is an announcement of the NBC American University of the Air giving its broadcasting curriculum for the broadcast season of 1942-1843. Course I, "Lands of the Free," is designed to give a chronological study of the vital elements in Western Hemisphere history and to offer analysis of the varied social, economic, and political problems of the Americas. Course II "Music of the New World" is making an effort to show the vital part music plays as a social expression in the lives of the people. These programs may be heard each week over NBC at 9:30 Monday and 10:30 Thursday respectively. "Land of the Free" has a broadcast, "Llaneros," scheduled for May 3.
A pamphlet Club and Study Series number III, "Music in Latin America," vol. III of a series on a brief survey on literature, art, music has come to the library recently. F. E.

U.S. Ships Made 1,745 Sailings For Lend-Lease
New York, (INS)—During 1942, American controlled ships made 1,745 sailings with Lend-Lease cargoes for Britain, Russia and China and this year the volume may be doubled, Admiral Emory S. Land reported yesterday.
Describing the current distribution of available dry cargo tonnage he said that 41 per cent is engaged in operations for the navy, 30 per cent is in Lend Lease operations, 16 per cent in civilian shipping to Central and South America and the United States, and 13 per cent is serving with the navy.
Land, chairman of the United States Maritime Commission, was a speaker today at the war conference of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
He said also that 3,560 foreign flag United Nations's ships had been serviced in American shipyards and 1,482 foreign flag ships repaired.
"Prime Minister Churchill recently told the British people the United Nations have greater merchant tonnage in service today than they had a year ago," Land said.
That statement can be affirmed, but in affirming it, let me add we are still, as we have been since the war began, definitely short of ships. In my judgment we will be short of ships so long as the war lasts."
Stassen Resigns; Warns Successor Against Isolation
St. Paul, Minn., (INS)—Lieut Gov. Ed Thye yesterday became Minnesota's 26th chief executive with the resignation of Gov. Harold E. Stassen who will enter active service in the navy.
With a parting warning against isolationism, Stassen, the nation's youngest governor, resigned his third two-year term in office Tuesday at a simple, five-minute ceremony at the state capitol.
Turning over the governor's flag and keys to his office to Thye, Stassen said:
"I trust that you will continue to recognize that Minnesota is not only a part of the United States of America, but also a part of the world and that you will point the road away from isolationism to an advance in the science of government to win an enduring peace."

Immediately after the ceremony, Stassen donned the uniform of a Lieutenant Commander in the navy and left for Chicago. He was ordered to report at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Ill., today.

"BUT, WE DIDN'T MEAN RIDING CROPS!"
Noah Webster didn't write the first English dictionary—and neither did Samuel Johnson.
A study by Dr. DeWitt T. Starnes, professor of English at the University of Texas, has uncovered much of the history of the English dictionary, showing that the first such volume was prepared in 1604—more than a century before Johnson brought out his own ponderous definitions.
Another study by Dr. Starnes brought to light much new information about the history of Latin-English and English-Latin lexicography. These dictionaries were in circulation among scholars from the Fifteenth century on, Dr. Starnes has discovered.

Waukegan, Ill., (INS)—The Doo-little-Rommel alliance was all off yesterday, at least for the purposes of joint warfare.
Dale Doolittle, 4, and Richard Rommel. 5, hitherto arch enemies in their own private Tunisia, teamed up Tuesday to wage war on Lloyd Griscom. 3. They were a little shy on tanks and artillery, but they did have a garden rake with which they inflicted some damage in the way of cuts and bruises on the outnumbered Lloyd.
It required the intervention of another power—Folice Chief Bart Tyrell—to bring an end to the hostilities.

Attu Is Bombed By US Fleet In Battle Today
The heavy guns of a task force comprised of war ships from the United States Pacific fleet bombarded Japanese positions on the Aleutian island of Attu, the navy announced this afternoon. Several fires were started during the attack to which the enemy guns failed to reply.
Thousands of miles away on the Tunisian front, a desperate Africa Corps lashed out with a series of counter-attacks which succeeded in making some slight initial gains along limited sectors. But Allied forces made advances of their own as the tightening noose continued to draw steadily closer around the trapped Axis legions.
The over-all picture of the day's developments as drawn from late news dispatches show these highlights.
Washington-The navy, in addition to the Aleutian Island bombardment, announced that long range army bombers hit Tarawa, Nipponese base in the heart of the Gilbert islands some 1000 miles northeast of Guadalcanal. Heavy damage was caused despite opposition from Japanese fighter planes and ground defenses.
London—RAF planes pounded the important Nazi naval and U-boat base at Wilhelmshaven in a heavy night assault from which 23 planes failed to return. The big British bombers of which an estimated 500 swarmed over the Reich layed mines in enemy waters and according to a late dispatch this afternoon succeeded in cutting off ferry service from Sweden to Denmark.

Violinist To Give Concert Monday
VIRGINIA BELLO
ALBERT SPALDING
Albert Spalding, America's foremost violinist, will appear in Hoch auditorium Monday at 8:20 p.m. as one of the main attractions of the American Music Week Festival which will begin Sunday.
His program in keeping wth the general theme of the Music Week, will include a full group of music of American composers.
among which will be Spalding's own composition, "Etchings," a series of thirteen short, attractive numbers.
Spalding will bring with him one of the rarest of the old Italian violins, which for over 100 years has attracted the attention of connoisseurs. The violin is a Joseph Guarnerius (del Jesu) made in 1775. It was brought out of Italy to France by Tarisio, a well-known violinist of the last century. He took it to Vuillaume, one of the best violin makers of his time. The character of the violin is emphasized by its very bold F. holes, its rugged appearance, and the richness and brilliance of its color. The quality of its tone is very deep and rich. In the lower registers, this violin somewhat recalls the poignancy of a viola.
Mr. Spalding possesses besides his Guarerius a famous "Artot" violin made by Antonio Stradivarius, in 1722.

Tickets for the Spalding concert are on sale at the Bell Music Company, the Round Corner Drug Store.

New York, (INS)—John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, today spurned a back-to-work ultimatum by President Roosevelt, and indicated he would allow a general walk-out in the nation's coal mines at midnight tonight.
Lewis, after a meeting with the policy committee of his United Mine Workers union, did not reply directly to President Roosevelt's demand that striking mine workers return to their mines at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
However, he declared flatly "we want an agreement—we want to work." This meant that the policy committee at the session which lasted较early more than an hour had voted to stand by the traditional miners' point of "no contract, no work"

Seniors Vote To Construct Picnic Site
A picnic and recreation area to be constructed in the neighborhood of Potter lake will be the memorial gift left to the University by the senior class of 1943, the seniors decided at the class meeting in Fraser theater today.
Permanent ovens, benches and tables, a roofed shelter, a dance floor, lights, and a nickel-odeon will be provided by this year's graduating class, Paul Gilles, chairman of the memorial gift committee, suggested. Work will begin at once on plans for the project, so that it will be completed for students now in the University to enjoy.
The class voted to assess each senior $3, which is about three times the usual assessment for the memorial gift; but it is the opinion of the committee and of the majority of seniors that the project will prove valuable, because the ballroom has been converted to a mess hall, and transportation is difficult.
Ray Pierson, president of the Alumni Association, who spoke at the meeting, offered to give 25 cents from each person's alumni dues to the gift fund, if at least 275 of this year's class join the Alumni Association. The class voted to endorse the KU Alumni Association and to urge every member of the class to join.
A class reunion to be held in five years was discussed and details were left in the hands of class officers and the Alumni Association. The report of the budget committee

ROTC Ball Highlights Weekend Festivities
The rain has cleared away and the weather promises a bang-up weekend as well as the various parties, informal and formal. The annual ROTC formal dance in Hoch auditorium takes the spotlight tonight. This dance is out of the ordinary in that it has regularly scheduled dances and intermissions, with emphasis on formality.
The ISA skating party tonight at the Rollerdrome probably will take a good many back to their childhood days, and quite a few will find that there is a definite difference in skating on sidewalks and skating on a wooden floor. A few sore muscles will result from the unusual activity, and these discomfortures probably will run a close second to those of the students returning from the equitation trip tomorrow. Incidentally all the riders awoke happily to the blue sky this morning and were off to an early start.
WESTMINSTER HALL . . .
The Scabbard and Blade banquet tonight at the Hearth is a finale to their activities this year. For Saturday night the Delt chicken fry and the Carruth hall dance are featured.

The pinning was announced at the Phi Delt house with the passing of cigars though Evans was not there.
The pinning took place last night at the annual senior banquet. Margaret Butler assisted with the pinning and received a corsage of gardenias as did the housemother, Mrs. Charles Howe. Miss Hutchison wore a corsage of gardenias and lilies-of-the-valley.
Kappa Kappa Gamma has announced the pinning of Harriet Hutchison, College junior from Abilene, to Ray Evans, a member of Phi Delta Theta and a junior in the School of Business before leaving in the Army reserve. Evans is now stationed in St. Petersburg, Fla.

"Student government definitely will be carried on this summer" Peggy Davis, All-Student Council president-elect, said this morning. Although the ASC will not meet until Thursday to make plans for its summer continuance, there is no doubt but that the organization will function this summer, she said.
Because a large number of the students on the council now are returning for summer school, the question of council representatives is not so severe as it might be Vacancies occurring will probably be filled by appointment, she said, but no definite plans have been made yet.
Thayer Displays New Paintings, Sculpture
Paintings and sculpture are now on display in the Spooner-Thayer museum in the south gallery.
The sculptures, which were done by Anna Hyatt Huntington, are all small, and the subjects are animals. Mrs. Huntington is well known and has sculptures in many cities and museums both in this country and abroad. One of her most noted is the "Joan of Arc" in Blois, France. She is also represented in Dayton, Ohio; New York City; San Francisco; Seville, Spain; and Buenos Aires. Mrs. Huntington died last fall.
The paintings were done by Celine Boekeland of Coconut Grove Fla. Included in the collection are landscapes, flowers, bridges, and an Italian doorway.
The exhibit will remain for about three weeks.

Swayze Advises Students To Keep Eyes On Nearest Goal Until It Is Attained
"Work toward your goal in steps."
This was the advice given by John Cameron Swayze when he spoke to journalism students at the recent Kansan Board banquet. With graduation nearing and with many students planning to leave school and join the forces or accept positions in war plants or with other necessary industries and professions, this advice could well apply to all.
That today is the time of action when a man can reach the top of the ladder in one great leap might be true—such miracles can happen—but to the common person, they are only dreams. One seldom leaves college and then enters into the very position he wants, attains his highest ambition, or becomes the person of the world he wants to be. Students can not graduate or leave school today and with one sweep defeat the enemy and end the war tomorrow. Youth fired with ambition to lick the world is a dangerous thing unless it is directed in the proper manner. Such day dreams of heroism are all right as long as the person realizes they are dreams, but he must understand that such events seldom become realities.
To take life as it comes is the best policy. No matter what the task may be, work toward it gradually and steadily. It is best to set a goal a short distance away and then concentrate every effort to attain it. Then set it up another notch and advance another step. It can't all be done in one move.
Mr. Swayze told of two old friends who once met in New York. One of the men was prospering very well, but the other had been tramping the streets of the city for weeks trying to find a top place for himself. He was tired and defeated. When his friend mentioned walking to his hotel, which was 60 blocks away, the tired man said it was too far.
The friend then said they would walk to a delicatessen only about eight blocks away. That they did, and after they had been there a while, the friend suggested to the jobless comrade that they walk about six blocks where he liked to watch the people. They continued their journey from place to place until finally

Just Wondering
If students and faculty members will get everything they have to do finished before May 17.
--to the surprise of the discouraged man, they had reached his friend's hotel.
From this the man learned a lesson by which all might profit. To look at a goal with a long range view seems hopeless, and it is impossible to attain it immediately. But by a slow step-by-step process, it can be done.
Men With Hoes
A great number of the University professors have devoted time and trouble this spring, aside from all their other work, to the planting and raising victory gardens. Snatching moments whenever they can, they have entered inot this patriotic movement with enthusiasm and interest. For undertaking such projects when the speeded school program is demanding more and more from them all the time, the University professors should indeed be commended.

No mustache, either, Frank: The ATO's were comparing each other to persons of note. Someone told Frank Rush that he was really just like Errol Flynn. "Ah, go on," said Frank modestly. "You know darn well I don't have a yacht."

A likely story: The Kansan news room was its usual clacking pandemonium. Suddenly the entire reporting staff arrived at a common stump. There was a moment of silence—complete silence—except for Frances Abts, Corbin, whose voice rang plaintively across the room;
"Will you please leave my sweater alone?" Bob Schulthelts says he was just twiddling with the back edge and the sleeves.

Watch that D. G. pledge class next year: Several devoted men in the service gave Jessie Farmer, Gerry Shaw, and Barbara Hahn, Delta Gamma's and roommates, two baby chickens for Easter. The fowls, formally christened D. and G., are being fattened with care. Comes mid-summer and the two will give their lives for the good old anchor. D. and G. baked crispy brown are expected to be high powered talk in the foodless world.

What a snake must put up with: The snake which Sterling Hess plante in Clay Hedrick's bureau drawer got away. It slithered out the hall and encountered Dean (Honey) Huebert. Dean threw his arms in the air and with a blood-curdling yell, ran frantically for his room and locked the door.
The bewildered snake then meandered into Joe Elliott's room. Joe screamed.
When a freshman rescue squad arrived, the lanky junior was crouched on top of his bureau, face buried.
He was unable to bear the sight of his frenzied roommate, Mike O'Donnell, jumping energetically first on one foot and then the other as the reptile struck playfully at his trousers.
The reptile was a foot and a half long.
Threat To Bricker Puts Woman in Jail
Washington, (INS)—FBI director J. Edgar Hoover announced today that Mrs. Frances Mary McAratzes, a Columbus, Ohio, laundry worker, has been arrested for writing an extortion note to Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, and for threatening his life. Mrs. McAratzes, according to Hoover, "had warned Governor Bricker that she was watching his every move and had orders direct from Hitler to kill him."
