Reds Approach Polish Border As Nazis Crack
(International News Service)
The whole of Nazi Germany's defense positions in southern Russia appeared to be crumbling beneath the weight of a violent Soviet assault today and the next few hours may witness penetration of Poland by the Red armies.
While a new 1,100 ton Royal Air Force assault upon Berlin drove home to the German capitol that the Allied campaign to knock the city out of existence will continue unremittingly, indications mounted that a debacale unprecedent in military history is shaping up for the Nazis at the Polish frontier and the Dnieper bend.
Last reports placed the Russians only 10 miles east of the Polish border.
Huge Army Faces Annihilation
Farther to the south, Soviet forces pressed toward Zhermerinka, whose seizure will narrow down the German escape corridor in the lower Ukraine and threaten with annihilation the huge army of Field Marshal Mannstein, who lost 300,000 men at Stalindral.
Russian troops already have their faces turned directly toward Saryn, Kowek, Chelm, and Lublin in Poland—towns that bridge country which is difficult to defend and across which the Russians moved with break-neck speed once before when the country was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union. Rapid Russian progress also was reported in the Vitersa region north-west of Smolensk.
Nazi Government May Evacuate
Bitterly cold weather in the last two weeks has heightened Berlin's suffering as thousands of buildings are without windows or heat because of the incasent Allied pounding. There are increasing indications that the Hitler government has decided to evacuate the capitol, partly for the safety of itself and partly because of the fact so much of Berlin is utterly useless.
Also attacked by Allied planes were objectives in southern France, British and American ground forces continued their progress toward the central Italian mountain peak and in the southwest Pacific American troops consolidated their hold upon a surprised landing place at Saidor on New Guinea.
Propaganda Spread In New Year's Talk
London, (INS)—Adolph Hitler in a New Year's message to his home front issued while Red army legions pressed to the very borders of the Reich, attempted anew today to sow disunity among the Allies and alleged that the continued existence of Germany is essential to the welfare of all Europe.
His talk in which he warned the Nazis that this war will bring "no victors or losers, but merely the survivors and the annihilators," appeared to pay especial attention to Britain—first by assuring her that her Allies do not need her, and secondly by the assertion that the Third Reich is the only bulwark against Bolshevism.

Ship Explodes Off Sandy Hook
(International News Service)
New York, (INS) — At least 163 members of the crew of a United States destroyer were rescued from the sea today when an explosion of undetermined origin sank their vessel in the waters of lower New York bay. The ship, anchored at her position six miles off Sandy Hook and ready to move out on Atlantic coastal patrol was struck by a terrific blast today—a blast so strong it shattered windows in metropolitan New York several miles away.
The number of missing was not revealed by the war department, nor would the department give any intimation as to whether there was any enemy submarine attack.
At the same time other ships were cautious in their movements and the usual secrecy that surrounds the coming and going of ships prevailed. There was no intimation as to whether extra precautions were being taken or not.
Classes started on schedule this morning for the group of Electrician's Mates trainees who arrived last week, according to Chief Yeoman G. O. Starkey of the Naval Training School.
Electrician's Mates Start Classes Today
Chief Starkey explained that a similar group of men would arrive twice each month, thus making a graduating group about every two weeks, instead of every month as provided under the old Machinist Mate schedule.
"The Electrician's Mates will receive training to prepare them for the maintenance, repair, and operation of all electrical equipment other than in the field of communications," Cluef Starkey said.
The Rowlands Prize in Antique Drawing is open to students of drawing.
New Year Party Enthusiastic Despite Delay
With no less enthusiasm because of being a day late, University students celebrated the New eYar's arrival in Hoch auditorium, Saturday night from 9:00 until 12:00. Matt Benton's orchestra played while seven hundred people threw confetti and danced.
Eugenia Hepworth, vice-president of the Union Activities committee, said that the three hundred table reservations were sold out. Tables for four were arranged cabaret style around the stage decorated by red and blue indirect lights. Confetti, serpentine, and whistles were furnished, and cokes and sandwiches were on sale at one end of the auditorium.
Wallace Grimes was master of ceremonies, giving each act a good send-off punctuated with jokes in his usual jovial manner. Robert Provart, V-12, did a novelty act on the different types of sneezes so familiar to all at this time of year.
Betty Cohagen vocalized romantically on "All or Nothing at All" and Shirley Rauch sang an original number featured in the ASTP show, "Goldbricks of 1943", written by Sammy Frickey who accompanied her. "Want You For My Own."
Jean. Richardson took care of the foot work in a clever tap dance. Ted Lehmann gave a tone poem accompanied by Joe McClurg, ASTP, which completed the program royally for all attending.
The committee in charge of the dance included: Joan Johnson, president of the Union Activities committee; Eugenia Hepworth, vice-president and chairman of the committee in charge of the dance; Marilyn Maloney, food; Kathyn Forsk, cokes; Edith Marie Darby, confetti; Dick Beach, tickets; Ann Zimmerman, tables; Mimmie Nettles, dance; Helen Gardner, Stan Hagler, Jerry Galligan, and Wallace Grimes, program.
Post Office Sales Greater Than 1942
Last year's sales at the University post office were $33,206.08, as compared with $28,681.89 in 1942, according to R. C. Abraham, superintendent.
The number of ordinary parcel post packages was 54,700, registered pieces 1,663, insured pieces 3,314, collect on delivery 5, and money orders issued 3,176.
Duck Will Be Main Prize For Ping Pong Winner
Ping pong tournaments, both single and double, will begin next Monday with a duck award as first prize along with other prizes, Joanne Johnson, chairman of Union activities said today.
Anyone wishing to participate in the tournament may sign at the hostess desk in the Union lounge at any time, she announced.
Quill Club Has Literary Purpose
Quill Club Has Literary Purpose The Quill Club is the parent chapter of an intercollegiate organization of students and instructors especially interested in literary activities and literary criticism.
Student Directory May Be Obtained Now
Student directories are ready now for distribution, and may be secured at the Registrar's office, according to Anne Louise Rossman, editor. Those students with activity books receive the directory without charge, while anyone whose name appears in the directory may purchase a copy for 25 cents. The charge to other persons is $1.
The directory includes the names of the officers, faculty, employees, and army, navy and civilian students of the University.
Fog Over Oread; Planes Grounded
Rising temperatures today drew the slowly melting snow into a dense fog that blanketed the campus much of the day.
Motorists found driving difficult in going to the campus during the darkness of the early hours. The streets and some sidewalks were quite slippery from the packed snow that turned to ice.
The airplanes that daily roar overhead were missing and those at the local airport and training station were grounded because of poor visibility.
Kansas City, (INS)—Service over virtually all commercial airlines from Texas to New York was suspended today with planes grounded by severe fog conditions. The blanket settled down shortly after midnight over most of the area and is apparently thickened in Missouri and Kansas where both ceiling and visibility zero conditions were reported. TWA in Kansas City reported all of its planes down from Amarillo, Texas, to New York City.
Lithograph Display In Spooner Saturday
The lithographs of Honore Daumier (1808-1879) and Sublice Chevalier, better known as Gavarni (1804-1866) are on display in Spooner-Thayer museum for a month.
Honore Daumier was one of the greatest caricaturists of all time. He holds up to ridicule the shams and the hyprocries of the rich, the petty bourgeoisie, the government and the professions. Satirical art in its inspired form was Daumier's contribution to art. The universal quality of these prints makes them as pertinent today as they were a century ago.
Gavarni began life as an engineer's draughtsman. Not until he was almost thirty years old did he develop any indications of the great talent for caricature and skillful drawing for which he later became so famous.
During the years when he drew for the Charivari, Gavarni was the exact opposite of Daumier. In Gavarni was a forceful strength, in Daumier a refined grace. Gavarni was an artist of a strangely somber imagination, a profound and melancholy philosopher while Daumier possessed a brusque and savage observation and an almost menacing caasm.
The J. A. Keeler Prize is open to students in painting.
Jayhawks Play Pittsburg State 7:30 Tonight
The Kansas Jayhawks will play host to the strong "Navy-bolstered" Pittsburg State Teachers College aggregation in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 tonight in the last non-ceremony game before Big Six play gets underway.
The Jayhawks will open their Big Six season against Missouri at Columbia Saturday night.
The Gorillas of John Lance have two defeats and only one victory to their credit so far this season. But the Jehawks are hardly taking the Lancemen highly. Pittsburg's early season losses came at the hands of two strong Arkansas fives, the University of Arkansas and Camp Chaffee, and both games were lost by quite narrow margins on foreign courts.
Pittsburg a Strong Team
Lance, who annually puts out a strong five, has a potentially strong and experienced squad this year with three lettermen back and a host of navy V-12's from Texas. It was the wily Texans that gave Pittsburg their undefeated football team last fall.
Lance probably will start Sporks, a member of the Pittsburg team the first semester last year, and Habeber, a V-12 student from West Texas State, at forwards; Raymond Sloan, sr., from Emporia State Tea-

Ruth Orcutt to Give Fourth in Series Of Faculty Recitals
Miss Ruth Orcutt, associate professor of piano in the School of Fine Arts will give the fourth recital in the season's series of faculty recitals at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening in Fraser theater.
Miss Orcutt will offer a program of selected numbers for the piano from the best in piano literature. Included on the program will be a concert paraphrase by Carl A. Preyer, professor emeritus in the School of Fine Arts, of the well known "Perpetual Motion" by Weber. Among the numbers he will play will be the Rachmaninov "Polka," the Liadoff "The Musical Snuffle," and the 12 Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt.
Miss Orcutt was graduated from the Chicago Musical College with the degrees of bachelor of music and master of music. She also has bachelor of arts degree from the University. She has appeared as solist with the St. Louis symphony, the Chicago symphony, and the Kansas City symphony orchestra. Some of her piano study has been under Percy Grainger.
Lecturer to Demonstrate Accounting Machines
Miss Margaret Hathway will give a lecture tomorrow at 11:30 and a demonstration at 3:30 on the operation of electric accounting machines in the Standard Life Association offices downstown.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Polish Democracy On the March
Today a similarity of purpose—that of political democracy—unites the organized Polish peasant movement and the Polish labor movement. These underground groups are already planning for the future of their country.
The Polish people realize that reconstruction of their country will not be an easy matter. All organized society has been wiped out. At present German domination and the threat of later Russian influence make it impossible for Poland to establish political and social standards. The people realize that they will have to start from scratch, but they wish to maintain popular enthusiasm under conditions in which each individual will feel that he is working for himself and the rest of society, and not for the benefit of privileged groups.
The majority of the Polish people wish to prevent history from repeating itself. They wish no landed classes, no dictators, no selfish interests of specialized groups. They want a people's Poland, and the peasant and labor organizations' union goes far to achieve this end.
After the war many difficulties must be surmounted. International as well as internal conditions will be confused. But the Polish people are willing to go through the momentary failures and the political dissension to travel the hard road ahead in order to achieve a true democracy, a country of the people and for the people.
Organized unity of the peasants and the laboring class is the answer for the Polish people and is already helping toward laying a foundation for post-war reconstruction.
Gamma Phi's Reveal Hanna-May Pinning

Miss Hanna, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hovey Hanna, is a junior in the School of Business. May, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest May, is a member of Phi Gamma Delta and is a junior in the School of Engineering.
Assistants at the pinning were Virginia Carter, who received a corsage of talisman roses, and Ann Wellington, who received yellow tea roses. Mrs. Ralph Baldwin, housemother, wore yellow roses and Miss Hanna had camellias and white roses. Chocolates were passed to the members of the chapter.
North Africa a Cold Place,
Says Former Kansan Editor
"North Africa is too cold—never dreamed it could be such a cold place," wrote Pfc. William J. Feeney, in a V-mail letter to friends in the department of journalism. "We seem to be emerging from a rainy, cold season. Most of the merchants around here know some English, and my Spanish and smattering of French are enough to get by."
Pvt. Feeney was managing editor of the Daily Kansan in 1942, and was president of the Kansas chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, journalism professional fraternity.

The Fleet's in: Luther Welsh, now a midshipman at Annapolis and looking like nothing less than an admiral, came back to pay his Beta brothers a visit. Luther, affectionately known by the Betas as "The Great Stoneface," "Uncouth Luth," and "Welsh the Belch," first observed that the Kappas haven't bought a new screen for the mail room window since the last time he was here. In one of his more daring moments and as a practical joke last year, Luther locked himself in the mailroom after closing hours. When certain authorities suspected a man in the house and went to investigate he dived out of the window, leaving only the imprint of his figure as he went through the screen.

Dioramas Completed In Dyche
Neanderthal man lived a hundred thousand years ago and was the first fossil man to become known. Having massive features, short, crooked legs, and a powerful build, this ancient man had as large a brain as modern man.
Cro-Magnon man, the first known man of modern type, probably exterminated the Neanderthals. He possessed a high excellence of artistic skill. Some believe that the Basque people, an isolated group living in the Pyrenees, are the living descendants of the Cro-Magnon.
Four dioramas showing four of the oldest known types of man in the scenes of his normal habitat have been completed by Bernard "Poco" Frazier, instructor of design.

Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt appointed a three-man board today to investigate the deadlock between southeast railroad and labor organizations on alleged racial discrimination in employment of Negroes.
Mr. Frazier first modeled the figures in clay, getting his ideas from forms and literature supplied by Dr. H. H. Lane, director of Dyche museum of natural history.. He then made casts in plaster, painted the forms, and set them against the background in which these ancient forms of man lived thousands of years ago.
Peking man was first found in a limestone cave, south of Peiping, China. He was the oldest form of man to have a culture of fire and tools.
Java man is believed to be the earliest man in existence. Found sixty feet under ground in a deposit of river gravel in eastern Java, he was thought to be the "missing link" between ape and man. However, he is human, though not of the main line of human descent.

University Tradition Survives In War-Time Innovations
K. U. has gone to war! In a then-and-now review of the old Alma Mater in the last few years one finds that there are many changed, many things strikingly the same, and many things—striking!
The scenery, for instance, has changed—take the Navy laundry displays behind Frank Strong hall (alias "the ship").
Time was when uniforms were so rare on the Hill, that even the campus cop was a character of some distinction, especially with the women. Now, the fellows with plaid shirts and stiff cords are the spectacular specimens.
even with most of the shysters away. With unquestionable ability, Navy and Army men have undertaken the task and are doing a mighty sharp job — giving post-war laws something to live up to. (Note: duty ably explained in sketch at the left).
The duties of the "laws" have not been neglected.
Car drivers come atop Mt. Gread at their own risk these days, if they have the gasoline to take the risk.
It's every guy for himself in the between-classes scrimmage. Pedestrian worries now amount to how to avoid head-on collisions with other pedestrians, or what to do when caught between two platoons of AST's—now really, Mabel!

THE CONTROL YOU GIVE THEY SAY IS
Culture has not been shelved for the duration as KU. continues to offer top lectures, recitals, and concerts. However there is a rumor that Hoch's great Steinway has been exposed to the boogie beat by a jivin' jeep-er, A-12.
A few things have not changed at all. Now take a flunk—a flunt is still a flunk, shotguns are always a possibility, the "Rock Chalk" sounds as good as ever, and class naps are fine things—if you're neat about it.
And then there's the age-old women's sport, the man-hunt. The outlook was mighty gloomy for K.U. coeds as hundreds of Jayhawkers were called to arms (the other kind). Then out of the darkness (the first of last July) came the V-12's, or as they say it, "God's gift to the village girls," and later, in August, the Lindley hall Casanovas arrived. Social life, somewhat curbed by restrictions and heavy academic loads, goes on.
This, too, could go on but this rhetoric is rugged stuff and Frank Cooper, an old grad of '26, seems to have the whole situation under control in the ac- companying sketch.
Delta Gamma Engaged To Medical Student
Delta Gamma has announced the engagement of Donna Claire Jackson, College senior from Iola, to Robert L. Brown, Coffeyville.
Miss Jackson received an orchid corsage and Mrs. G. A. Benson, housemother, received a corsage of talisman roses. Barbara Hahn and Betty Leibbrand, who assisted in the ceremony, received gardenia corsages. Candy was passed to members of the chapter.
New Year's Eve Was 'Just Another Friday' For the Navy Here
Brown is a member of Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Beta Pi, medical fraternity, and is now a sophomore in the School of Medicine in Kansas City.
The front of one PT was illuminated by the red glare of railroad flares, Strains of "Auld Lang Syne" were heard over the din of trumpets, rattling dishpans, and bellens. Blankets and mattresses mysteriously departed from bunks to form heaps on the floor. Task forces, armed with pillows, roamed the decks, invading dorms. M.A.'s roamed the decks, trying to capture the task forces.

MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 1944
From the Sidelines BY Bob Rock. Kanson Sports Editor
A Kansas boy makes good! Bill Forsyth, who was a bench warmer on Phog Allen's championship squad last year, is now burning up the boards for the University of Pennsylvania where he is stationed as a member of the V-12. This is what the school paper, The Pennsylvanian Bulletin has to say about him:
"The fifth member on the starting Penn flive and the only one who did not star for his former school, is Bill Forsyth, but don't underrate him. He scored ten points against Yale Eli the other night and is another credit to the coaching prowess of the famous Doc Allen, his coach at Kansas, where he served his cage apprenticeship." This Penn writer hinks that with four of the bestagers in the east and a touch of "Phog" Allen's Kansas magic (Forsyth), Penn will have one of the strongest fives in the country.

Alaskan Writes Allen
Harold A. Hoeglund, superintendent of the Ketchikan, Alaska, Public Schools, recently wrote Dr. F. C. Allen requesting information as to how his team could qualify for the Washington state tournament and the national tournament (which no longer exists in high school circles). Hoeglund, who received his master's degree at K.U. in 1938, also requests of Allen to give a statement or two emphasizing the necessity for rigid training by teams which desire to succeed. It seems that the Alaskan school has great possibilities with the same boys back that gave them the Southeastern Alaska championship for two consecutive years. But the boys are not training, according to Hoeglund, and by offering to take them to the Washington tournament if they can qualify, he hopes to get them out of the doldrums. He glames the backwash of the war, or more specifically 27 saloons and liquor stores in the town, besides the honkey-tonks and the accompanying vices.
Sport Notes
Bob Bramum, the former Winfield high school star who led the Ar Valley in scoring last year, is keeping up the good work with Kentucky . He was the leading scorer for the Kentuckyians the other night in New York. . Bramum, like Tucker, McCloud, Dewell and other Ark Valley treats, was lost to Kansas because he was not given as attractive an offer" by Kansas as "attractive an offer"
y克斯 Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, T.C. U., and other "subsizers" gave. . Ark Valley stars that are attending here include Lou Gohring, Ark City, who was second to branum in scoring last year; Kirk Scott, all-Ark Valley and all-state two with Newton, Harold McSpadden, who starred for ElDorado, Homer Sherwood, who played for Arkansas City, and Clay Hedrick, former Newton Railroader. Those who heard the Sugar Bowl game New Year's day could well be proud of the Missouri Valley representative, Tulaa, who was barely edged out by Georgia Tech's Prokop and Co." 20 to 18. . The Tulsa 4-F's were especially great in the first half when they counted all their three touchdowns thanks to the great play of Clyde LeForce, and Jimmy Ford. . . Ford, 145-pound scatback, went 76 yards for one touchdown, the longest run in Sugar Bowl history, and it was the blocking of such disabled gridders as one-armed Ellis Jones that paved the way for this spectacular run. . . LeForce, however, just couldn't get his toe on the ball and missed all three extra point trys.

Win Two Victories
Coach F. C. Allen's Jayhawks came through the holidays as victors in a basketball exhibition clinic held in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium Dec. 29 and 30, disposing of Kansas State and Missouri, two Big Six rivals. The games have no bearing on Conference rankings. On the opening night, the Allenmen resembled the K.U. greats of former years and poured 62 points through the loop to defeat the K-Staters 62 to 44. The game was featured by Don Barrington's brilliant game which netted 28 points.
On the following night, Kansas defeated Missouri 34 to 27, after trailing at the half 18 to 7. The quintet came to life in the second period and outscored the Tigers 27 to 9. Barrington was held to 13 points by a tight Missouri defense. The clinic disposed the best K.U. exhibition of the current season and indicated that potentially there is trouble ahead for future opponents.
Three football players from last year's squad, probably will be in the Kansas starting lineup, Dr. Allen said. They will be Don Barrington at forward, Charles Mofet at center, and Gordon Stucker at guard. Bill Lindquist will start at the other forward, and Sparky McSpadden will draw the assignment at the other guard post.
7 Former Students Earn Commissions
Seven former University students were commissioned ensigns in the U. S. Naval Reserve at recent graduation ceremonies at the Naval Training School for midshipmen on the Northwestern University campus in Evanston, Ill.
They include Ray Earl Buzzell, Jr., who attended the University from 1935 to 1941; Lawrence William Epperly, student from 1939 to 1941; Robert William McCort, here from 1941 to 1943; William Robert McGregor, a college senior last year; Lawrence Hickey, Jr., here from 1941 to 1943; John Warren Pope, a student here from 1938 to 1943; and Dell V. Perry, College senior last year.
Young Appointed Clerk Of State Supreme Court

Architectural Design Display in Marvin
Three problems on exhibitions were submitted recently by students of schools that are members of the institute. Among the universities which are represented in the exhibit are: Notre Dame, University of Oklahoma, University of Illinois, Rice Institute, Georgia School of Technology, and University of Pennsylvania.
The Beaux-Arts Institute of Design is directed by the Society of Beaux-Arts architects of New York City. It is a school of architectural design of which many universities are members.
Outstanding designs sent to the University's department of architecture from the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York City are on display now on the third floor of Marvin hall, Prof. J. M. Kellog in the department of architecture announced. The exhibit will be here for about 10 days, he said.
The designs illustrate a fishing lodge and an air port. Some of the work was designed by girls studying architecture.
Another exhibit from the same institute is expected to be shown here soon. Professor Kellog said.
Buehler Attends National Meeting
Prof. E, C. Buehler, of the department of speech and drama, is attending a conference of the National Association of Teachers of Speech at New York City. The conference began its sessions Dec. 28 and ended today.
Faculty members from each department of the University usually attend these national conferences held throughout the country during the year.
Prof. James C. Malen of the department of history and Prof. Jan Chiapusso of the Fine Arts School are expecting to attend conferences soon. Professor Chiapusso plans to do research in the Newberry Library at Chicago.
The Traditions Committee of the Student Council and all cheerleaders, including assistants, will meet in the Kansas Room of the Union Building on Wednesday, Jan. 5, at 4:30, according to Ruth Krehbiel, chairman.

New Year's Has Ancient Traditions
By Mary Morrill
He who would write a story about the New Year faces defeat from the outset. Good stories all begin at the beginning. But that's just it—when did New Year's begin?
Did the monkeys start it and, one night every year, swing by their tails until dawn and resolve not to throw coconuts at each other? Or did Adam and Eve throw the first big party in the restricted atmosphere of Eden?
Well, you can hardly say either way. So this story proceeds without a beginning.
An Ancient Custom
No matter how New Year's tradition started, Babylonians, according to Walter Miller, M.A., Litt.D., Ll.D. (in other words, an authority) were using the annual and figurative arrival of a nude cherub for an excuse to get soused as far back as 3,000 B.C. Babylonians Thought It Important
In Persia New Year's is March 21. The Jewish people celebrate it near the first of September; the Chinese between Jan. 21 and Feb. 19. Just exactly what this proves is a Tum's winning proposition.
These Babylonians kept talking about vernal equinoxes, autumnal equinoxes, and the winter solstice to explain why New Year's Eve was so important—but despite all the big words the affair was still probably a big brawl.
Proving the ancients didn't lose their grip with the passing of centuries, the Romans were still going strong with New Year activities in the time of the Caesars. So strong, in fact, that the church prohibited Christians from having anything to do with the day.
But, of course, Christians then were no different, and everybody sneaked out and had themselves a time. Finally, in order to avert a serious housing problem in hell, the church had to make the day a Christian festival.
It's the Event that Counts
English-speaking people have been observing the holiday on Jan. 1 since 1752. Undoubtedly America would have gotten started sooner with the affair if it hadn't been for the Puritans, who, even if they did finally draw up a whopping good constitution, were nevertheless, wet blankets.

Hospitality Rules
In Paris back in the good old days before rationing (1822) it was customary to send bonbons on New Year's day. One year a thousand tons of them were sold in two days preceding the festival.
Generally in the United States it is the custom of Presidents to receive guests on New Year's day. The tradition was started in 1780 by Washington when New York was still the seat of the government.
Copying Washington, the 400 started giving receptions themselves, and going to call on people. Then folks grew fat and lazy with the prosperity of the 90's and reverted to sending New Year's cards, a system which grew rapidly in popularity because it was so convenient to send New Year's cards to people to whom you had forgotten to send Christmas cards.
To further substantiate this pleasant picture of morality we leave chaperones and righteous Hill folks with the definition of New Year's given by the authors of Encyclopedia Americana. Dating themselves back with the pyramids, these erudite scholars claim it is "a night of innocent mirth."

Petroleum Engineers Department Develops Process to Recover Barrels of Oil, Kansas Revenue
A process which promises to effect the recovery of many thousands of barrels of oil and bring hundreds of thousands of dollars of added income to Kansas oil men has been successfully completed here at the University through research in the department of petroleum engineering, Dr. Eugene A. Stephenson, chairman of the department, am-
nounced today. Application for patents on the process have been filed, and results of the work will be published this spring by the University of Kansas Research Foundation of which Dr. Stephenson is executive-director.
Research on the oil project was financed by a grant for industrial research from the Kansas legislature and was further subsidized by three major oil companies-Cities Service Oil Company, Phillips Petroleum Company, and Stanolind Oil and Gas Company. The technical work was done chiefly by P. T. Amstutz, now associated with Standard Oil Company of Ohio, under the supervision of Dr. Stephenson.
In the development of an entirely new technique for the exclusion of water from oil wells, 13 wells were treated within the past two years, and thousands of barrels of water-free oil were produced. Other thousands have been produced with much smaller percentages of water. Some wells which were producing as high as 50 per cent water nearly two years ago, are now producing no water at all. Others are producing but a small fraction of the water formerly lifted.
In addition to the economic value of the new process, the prevention of steam pollution and consequent destruction of fish and animals using the streams as sources of water add greatly to the value of this discovery.
For years, Dr. Stephenson said, oil companies have spent enormous sums in efforts to prevent the incursion of water into oil wells, for the continued replacement of equipment corroded by the highly active brines, and for the disposal of the brines through specially drilled wells.

Sleet and Ice Bring On 'La Conga'
By Betty Jennings
Step one, slide two. Familiar? But definitely to all the little intellects who have been trudging up the Hill the last few days in the wee hours of the morning, say, around 8:30 or 9:30. The old weather man has planted a smooth sheet of ice on all the walks and streets to further confuse the early rising Jayhawkers.
It took not a little maneuvering to get to classes on time, and without a broken limb, but by noon the frost was mostly melted with drooping hair and wet feet becoming the main topic of thought.
But this morning, to add to their bewildered state, the students found a dark, enveloping fog greeting them (along with the ice) as they stepped from their houses. In fact, it was so dark at 8:30 that some inquiring souls wondered if the clocks hadn't been set back for an early preview of April Fool's Day. And so it was, "Step one, slide two," and, "Where am I?"
The cars, what few there are around these days, had a wicked time mastering the steep hills of Lawrence, especially with their coating of frozen water. "Survival of the fittest," you might say. Some made it, after the proper length of trial had elapsed, and of course there were the poor unfortunate little autos that somehow never attained their goal. The occupants were forced to revert to what they should have used in the first place—their own two feet.
The reason for this queer concoction of ice-covered streets and fog-enveloping atmosphere? Why, don't you know—this is Kansas!
Orcutt Announces Numbers in Recital
Among the numbers Miss Orcunt will play is the majestic "Prelude, Chorale and Fugue" by Cesar Franck. Although Franck is quite generally recognized for his work as a composer for organ and for his impressive symphony for orchestra, he is seldom featured on piano recital programs.
Miss Ruth Orcunt will give a piano recital, the fourth in the series of faculty recitals, at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening in Fraser theater.
The "Bolero" by Turina, "The Valley of Bells" by Ravel, "The Mandolinata" by Paladilhe-Saint-Saens, and "The Wine-Gate" by Debussy will also be included on Miss Orcutt's program.
University Women's Club Will Meet Thursday
The University Women's Club will meet Thursday for its January tea with the home economics department in room 114, Fraser hall. The meeting will begin at 3 p.m. with a talk by Miss Lucille Aust, instructor of home economics, on "Creating Beauty Spots in the Home." Tea will be served by students in the department.

Spain Denies Diplomatic Rumors Washington, —(INS) —The State Department announced recently that the Spanish government had denounced as "flagrant lies" claims by the Axis that Spain has extended diplomatic relations to Mussolini's dummy republic regime in Spain.
Topeka, (INS)—Kansas total tax take for 1943 amounted to a record-breaking 33 million dollars. Best revenue producer was the sales tax which brought in more than 15 million dollars.

Spain Denies Diplomatic Rumors
back across a boundary line by native victims of aggression. But paradoxically, the Russians crossed a boundary line they do not recognize. So far as Moscow is concerned, they were still deep in the heart of Russia.
At least part of eastern Poland taken by the Russians in 1939 is regarded as fundamentally Russian. Poles Eve Advance Suspiciously
These were the highlights of the complicated situation;
1. In view of her refusal to recognize the 1939 frontier it appears unlikely Russia will look upon Gen. Vatutin's action in any manner as the initial step of liberation of Poland.
2: The Poles in London heard that Russia would reject any argument crediting the Polish underground with assisting the Russian on the ground that this aid had been extended on behalf of the Soviet Union and not of Poland.
3. The Polish government in exile expressed hope that Moscow will soon issue a declaration that the Red army had entered Poland to fight against a common enemy.
4. Anglo-American diplomacy took active steps to avert a crisis before it developed fully, chiefly to prevent resistance by the Polish population to the Russian advancement.
Crossing the old boundary ch-maxed an 11-day offensive by Vatutin's Ukraine army which in its course liberated upward of 1500 communities and annihilated tems

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Co-eds Should Help In 1944 War Effort
Recent newspaper and radio reports indicate that allied forces are slowly, but surely, gnawing at enemy defenses. With each encouraging report we swell with pride at the wonderful jobs our brothers and sweethearts are doing of annihilating the Germans and Japanese.
Yet, what are we, as civilian students, doing to help win the war? A lot, we tell ourselves. We write cheerful letters to our best friends. We have two or three War Bonds in the bank—bought by Mother and Dad in our name. Although we gripe when asked to support war service funds, we usually contribute. We've even curtailed those weekend trips to Kansas City to help lessen the burden on transportation facilities. What more can we do? We can do much more than we have done.
We can help win the war by supporting Red Cross projects. In the past, students have not been too responsive to such programs. For example, the Red Cross sewing room established several years ago in Fraser hall was forced to close because the small number who volunteered to sew, knit, and roll bandages during their leisure hours didn't warrant keeping the room open. By showing interest in this project, we could reopen the Red Cross sewing room. Each woman would have to allot only two or three hours a week for this work to make the project a success.
We should not only support the Red Cross, but, also, the Community Service League. Lawrence citizens spent a lot of time and money in establishing the center to entertain servicemen who had no contacts in this community. They asked for and received the cooperation of the adviser of women in securing college women to act as junior hostesses each Saturday night. But did the women respond? Only half-heartedly.
The idea that the better class of persons didn't attend kept many from going. Other women went when their house or club acted as official hostesses but didn't go again. Servicemen, themselves, be came disinterested when the women failed to attend. This year the Service League is off to a good start. It has added new equipment and enlarged its program. A large number of servicemen stationed on the campus attend every Saturday night. In fact, the men outnumber the women. Unless the women respond, the League will be handicapped. With their help, however, the League can accomplish its purpose. Why not set aside several Saturday evenings a month to help entertain these men? Of course, we'd rather meet our friends at private or school parties. The chances are the servicemen would, too. Parties are limited, however, so let's substitute them with the Community Service Recreation Center.
; We don't need to affiliate with some organization, however, to help the war effort. All of us can help make the servicemen on our campus feel at home by speaking to them, being considerate to them, and encouraging them to participate in University activities. Sociologists maintain a man works best when he finds a place in his environment. Militarists concentrate on keeping up the morale of the men. Let's do our part toward making the men feel that they are a part of our group instead of unwanted strangers.
Enlarging our parts in the war effort would be commendable New Year's resolutions. Let's convince

The last word in leap years: There are times—namely when he is walking off tours in front of PT6—that Wallace "Boomer" Grimes regrets the pledging of Jack Tucker to the order of Sigma Chi. Although only a Sigma Chi pledge, Jack is A.F.O. for PT6, and after several hours of odious pledge duties, he enjoys nothing more than going back to the PT and turning the tables on the one active at his disposal, "Boomer."
The Phi Bets began to think the Bureau for Delinquent Girls was catching up with them when a voice over the telephone informed one of the brothers that pictures of all the girls in their house were to be taken Tuesday.

Vratil Family Serves As Separate 'Army' With 17 Members
Between grade school and high school, Frank dropped out for three years to earn extra money. Later, he won a scholarship to the University, where his average was straight A. He volunteered for service, after America entered the war, and several months ago, married Althea Shuss, '43.
The story of this remarkable family in America began in 1890 when Victor Vratil came to Kansas from Bohemia with his family, and settled near Larned. Before he died several years ago, a self-sufficient family had grown up which continually surprised the surrounding community with its ingenuity. It is a simple story of penniless immigrants who worked hard to achieve what they now have.
John W. Foster of Lawrence, a graduate in '29, has been promoted to the rank of first lieutenant. He is assigned as assistant finance officer at Camp Wolters, Texas.
Lieutenant Foster was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, until December, when he entered the army finance school at Duke University, Durham, N.C. He received his commission in March, 1943.
"The Vratils aren't a family, they're an army by themselves." Thus are the 17 members of the Vratil family described in the January issue of the Reader's Digest.

Remark of the month: Pat Tuller, Pi Phi freshman, couldn't remember which train she was supposed to be taking, but she said she could recognize the station. She was driven first to the Santa Fe. "Oh, yes," said Pat, "this is the one. I remember it because of the suitcases on the platform."

Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Pierpoint of Chanute have announced the marriage of their daughter, Sarepta, to Lt. Dean G. Ostrum, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Ostrum, of Russell, at 8 o'clock Christmas night in the Independent Presbyterian church in Birmingham, Ala.
Pierpont-Ostrum Married in South
The bride is a college senior and a member of Gamma Phi Beta. Ostrum was a junior in the University last year and president of Sigma Nu.
The wedding ceremony was read by the Rev. Clark Neale Edwards before an altar decorated with southern smilax and white lacquered magnolia branches. Tall cornucopia baskets filled with white chrysanthemums and pink gladiolus formed the background. Four standards of candelabras held 24 burning tapers.
Apprentice Seaman Bob Stewart, fraternity brother of the groom now stationed with the V-12 unit at the University, served as best man, and the bride's mother stood with her as the vows were taken.
The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a classic gown of ivory slipper satin, made with fitted bodice, buttoned down the back with ivory satin buttons and a full skirt made entrain. The sweetheart neckline was trimmed with seed pearls and white braid, long sleeves ending in points over the hands. The finger tip veil of illusion fell in folds from a coronet of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of white roses, centered with a fuchsia orchid and tied with a white satin ribbon.
The couple left for Fort Benning, Ga., where the groom is stationed at present with the seventh armored division. For traveling, the bride chose a brown gabardine suit, white blouse, small brown hat, and alligator accessories.
After the wedding a dinner was served in the private dining room of the Hotel Thomas Jefferson.
Mrs. Ostrum has returned now to the University where she will be graduated in March.

Weddings and Engagements Are Highlights of Current Society News
News of weddings and engagements are filling the paper lately. Explanations for this can be seen. The season itself might be one, especially for women students who use their few precious days of vacation for traveling to the one-and-only's camp to get married. Others have decided that holiday decorations provide the right atmosphere for a pinning ceremony.
There's also the often quoted "c'est la guerre" to account for any increase in the number of students marrying. But that alone would hardly be the reason for the sudden increase. Maybe people just wanted to start the new year off differently.

Jayhawks Ring Up Sixth Victory Before Starting Big Six Competition
The Pittsburgh State Teachers were the sixth collegiate foe to fall in the path of the Kansas Jayhawks as the men of Mt. Oread triumphed here last night 35 to 21. The Jayhawks, who are unbeaten in college competition, will open their Big Six stand against the Missouri Tigers in Columbia Saturday night.
The first half was a tight defensive battle with frequent misuses by both teams. The half ended 11 to 7, Kansas. Pittsburg went 15 and a half minutes before they could score a field goal. Lindquist counted twice in the first half, MoFett and McSpadden each once, and Barrington, Lindquist, and Stucker each dropped in free throws to give Kansas her 11 points. It was Humphreys who dropped in the Gorilla's first field goal after he and Connor had counted a free throw apiece in the early minutes.
As has been their habit throughout the season, Kansas came back in the last half after a poor first half exhibition. In the first part of the final stanza, the Gorillas found their basket eyes and twice pulled to within one point of the Jayhawkers. The Kansas men did some scoring on their own account, however, and pulled away from the Gorillas after the midway mark of the first half. Joffett Starts Scoring
First it was Moffett who scored two free throws and then two straight from the field. Then Capt. Sparky McSpadden came up with a spurt and dropped in four consecutive foul losses and a one hand hook shot for six of his eight points for the evening. Charles Moffett, who has been distinguishing himself in the last three games with fine passing and defensive exhibitions, also found the shooting range last night and led the scoring for Kansas with nine points.
Don Barrington, who was Kansas offensive power in the KC twin bill, had an off night and counted only four points. "Duck," however played much better in the last half during the early minutes of the game. Gordon Stucker, who played 17 minutes at a guard, came through with a smooth performance. Substitute Don Diehl hit two field buckets in two attempts in the short time he was in there.
Allen Uses Many Substitutes
Dean Corder, still weak from the influenza attack that hit him some time ago, was good for a basket. Coach Allen used nearly all his subs and Palmer, Malot, Sherwood, Brash, Dick, and Turner all saw action. The "reserve five" that played the last two minutes went in for some "race horse" basketball, and with both teams tearing up and down the court shortly before the game's end, the fans became more excited than any time during the contest.
Neither team, however, was hitting the basket until Diehl came through with a one-hander. Veteran George Dick amused the crowd by taking care of a Gorilla all by himself under the goal. Instead of fouling his rival who was dribbling into the basket, Dick used some head work and squatted in front of the goal, causing his rival, who was racing in, to charge over him and draw the foul himself.
The officiating of Eddie Hogue and the one-armed Tom Dorney was the best here this season.
The town of Winfield, Kansas, finally caught up with St. John's U. in basketball last week when Bob Brannum helped Kentucky beat the Redmen after Gerald Tucker, Bob's predecessor as all-state center at Winfield, had failed twice with Oklahoma U.
IWW's Win Starter In IM Basketball
The IWW's started out well in the basketball intramural season last night, winning the game from the Co-op's at a score of 35 to 6. Francis Raw, Lavone Jacobson, and Bethel Reimer were the high scorers for the IWW team, scoring a total of 29 of the 35 points. The defense for the IWW's was also strong. Martha Trate, Francis Davison, and Jean Boardman played the guards. Lois Harkwood was the high scorer for the Co-op's.
The first round of the table tennis tournament will be completed Saturday.
A Baker University volley-ball squad will play the Kansas University volley-ball team at 4 this afternoon.
Games tomorrow night will be Delta Gamma vs. Alpha Chi at 7:30, and Theta vs. Gamma Phi at 8:30.
Russell Draws Map On Rail Equipment
Soon after the government took over operation of the railroads on Dec. 27, F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering and engineer drawing, made a map showing graphically the extent of the rolling stock equipment of the railways of the United States.
Professor Russell's exhibit shows that if all the equipment were placed in a single train, it would extend from the Cape of Good Hope, via the Suez Canal, Asia, Alaska, Panama Canal, and almost to Cape Horn. The freight cars extend over 18,720 miles, passenger cars 700 miles, and locomotives 1000 miles.

Even though the game was played on the Kansas State court, a disadvantage, still the Cyclones hardly looked invincible on last night's performance. A guard, Kester, led the Cyclone attack while All-American Price Brookfield was only able to count one field goal and two free throws despite the fact he played the full 40 minutes.
The Big Six season got underway last night with a mild surprise. The Iowa State Cyclones led only 21 to 15 at the half in their game with the Kansas State Wildcats, whom Kansas plastered 62 to 44 in K.C. last week, and went on to win only 42 to 33, a 9-point margin as against Kansas' 18 point difference. It was only a short time ago that Dr. F. C. Allen prognosticated that the Iowans would take the eBig Six in a breeze.
"Dynamite" Wade
Cliff Wade, little 150-pounder from Wichita, a North High boy, has been "going to town" for the Wichita Cessna Clippers in the Wichita Hockey Leagues. Wade, who lettered in football here this fall, makes it home each weekend for the Sunday night games. The Sunday Wichita Eagle carried his picture as "the K.U. boy who gives a speedy performance at center ice for the unbeaten Cessnas."

PLUS LATEST NEWS
in the Wichita hockey league last winter, has been a big cog in his team's three straight victories to date. In beating the Beeecraft Flyers, 10 to 3, Sunday night, Cessna was sparked by Wade who counted four points, two goals and two assists. However, for some reason Wade can't help from getting in scraps and he has been a quite popular figure with the fans as in each game he has engaged in "fisticuffs" and been put in the penalty box. However, this scrappiness is not a new thing with Wade. The first night he was out for the varsity in football, Coach Shenk hung on him the monicker, Dynamite, that stayed with him the entire season. It was that sort of pep that raised him from a third stringer that wasn't even good enough to make the Denver trip, yet, a week later he started at guard (the smallest linesmen in KU history) in the game against Washburn, and again the following week against Nebraska. Kansas could use some more of "Dynamite" next fall, but the little fellow expects to be in the army long before that time.

90 Per Cent of AST's Restricted to Lawrence
'Library Has Changed' According to B. K. Worm
"Due to unsatisfactory disciplinary conditions, passes for ASTP trainees over the weekend to points outside of Lawrence will be restricted to 10 per cent of the command," Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, ASTP Commanding officer, announced today.
Students representing colleges all over the United States, Canada and many foreign countries decided in their planning conference on the world mission of the church that settlement of post-war problems will depend, not on politics and diplomacy, but on a realization and practical acceptance of the fact that the world is a unit and the people in it are brothers, Julia Ann Casad, College sophomore, who was the delegate of the University of Kansas YWCA, said when she returned to the University yesterday.
Brotherhood Key To Postwar Plan
The conference was held at the College of Wooster, Wooster, Chio, from Dec. 28 until Jan. 3.
Five hundred students attended the conference. Those representing European countries at war, such as Germany and France, were already in the United States attending school. Twelve delegates represented the Rocky Mountain district, which includes 60 schools.
Mr. Worm tends to reminisce while describing the changed atmosphere within the building: 'When I was a freshman, I helped at the reference desk because I was worming my way through college. I often remember what good times I had in that room which was silent as a tomb, (Mr. Worm is also a poet). My favorite prank was sneaking up behind the librarian and scaring her with the loud noise of dropping pin.
FDR Recovers From Flu
Washington, (INS) President Roosevelt continued to improve from his attack of influenza today to the extent that he expected to begin work this afternoon on his annual State of the Union address.
Mr. B. K. Worm, the Kansan's own research worker, has just completed his report on "Changing Conditions and Their Effect on the Library of the University of Kansas." Of his findings Mr. Worm declared, "The library has changed."
There were three persons in the first University of Kansas faculty.
Worm Helped at Reference Desk
In the first section of the report, the new features of the library are described: "For the benefit of hundreds of students, an outdoor smoker has been made available; and, when the bitter winds blow, these people may go into a smaller (much smaller!) smoker just inside the storm doors. Here one may enjoy a friendly and sardine-like atmosphere."
"Today there is noise everywhere. Because of the metal shortage, I am
In conclusion Mr. Worm suggests "Now that the students have a library where they may sleep, smoke, and be merry, the University should provide some place for them to study."
sure the librarian would catch the pin before it hit the floor.
"The night scene at the library has changed most," stated Worm. "Men in uniform predominate. I must admit that if they plan to take an active part in the fighting of the war, this is an excellent place for them; for by attending the library in the evening one soon learns to be calm while on the field of battle. Army Studies Napolean
"Only last evening I saw a meek member of the army earnestly studying a book about Napoleon Bonaparte. I overhead him tell a friend that he was trying to find a good strategic method of attack in order to get a book from the reference desk. I seriously doubt if he ever secured the book because when I saw him last, a few of his friends had tripped him and were persuading him to join in a—well, some sort of game, while even more friendlier friends wanted the boy to add his beautiful tenor to their quartette which was practicing at the other end of the room."
KU Given Oil Well Cuttings
Cores and cuttings from oil wells, comprising the major part of the Ver Wiebe collection, have just been presented to the Kansas State Geological survey by Dr. Walter A. Ver Wiebe of the University of Wichita.
Cores and cuttings are used by petroleum geologists to make correlations of the rock units penetrated in wells, to determine porosity and oil content, and as a basis for instructural mapping. Libraries of samples such as the Ver Wiebe collection are used for subsurface and oil and gas research by scientists.
Survey Will Have Largest Library
The Kansas Geological survey's library of cuttings from 7,600 wells, when augmented by samples from more than 3,000 wells from the Ver Wiebe collection., will represent the largest public library of underground information in the Mid-Continent region. It is also available to citizens of the state who need detailed information.
This library of rock fragments, from wells in various parts of the state and from depths as great as one mile, has been assembled by Dr. Ver Wiebe over a period of more than 15 years. It is believed to be the largest file of cores and cuttings in the Mid-Continent region collected by one individual and not owned by an oil company or state geological survey.
Cores From 281 Wells Included
The portion of this collection presented to the Kansas State Geological survey, includes cores from 281 wells. These cores, representing more than eight tons of rock material cut from far below the surface of the earth, will be stored in the survey's branch office in Wichita. Cuttings from nearly 3,000 wells comprise the remainder of the collections as given to the Kansas State Geological survey.
With mid-semester grades being turned in earlier than usual in order to finish the first half of the semester's work before the Christmas holidays, the students who are down in subjects will have an opportunity to find it out sooner and bring their grades up. Dean Lawson, said.
"It is really surprising how few juniors and seniors are actually failing," Dean Lawson declared. "Only seven upperclassmen are reported failing, and of the 50 students whose grades are below average, most of them will have raised their grades by the end of the semester." he said.
Part of these samples will be placed on file at the survey's Wichita office, and the others will be moved to the main office at the University of Kansas.
Few Low Grades Dean Lawson Says
The number of low grades reported at mid-semester is above normal, Dean Paul B. Lawson announced today.
Nazis Kill Danish Playwright
Stockholm, (INS) — Assassination by Nazi gunmen of the Rev. Kaj Munk, noted Danish playwright and fearless enemy of the Hitler regime, was reported in Stockholm today.
Soviet Praises Allied Air Force As Panicky Berliners Evacuate, Handicapping Massive Factories
(International News Service)
Coincident with shattering new aerial assaults upon the Reich and northern France which followed blistering attacks against Kiel and Munster yesterday, American and British planes went out in great force against enemy bases again today.
Pravda Criticizes Willkie Harshly
The fresh onslaught served to underscore an official Soviet broadcast emphasizing the major part being played by the Allied air forces in the eventual destruction of Hitler's empire
'It's time to understand that the so-called question of the Baltic states is an internal affair of the Soviet Union in which Willkie should not interfere. Among the welter of words written to strengthen confidence, there is the rotten smell of familiar anti-Soviet slander. Willkie is reproducing suspicious cries from those reactionary groups who are afraid of the victorious advance of the Red army."
Moscow, (INS) — A strongly-worded criticism, of Wendell Willkie, former American presidential candidate, for raising the quiesition of the future status of the countries bordering the Soviet Union was published today by Pravda, Communist party organ, referring to Willkie's article which appeared in the New York Times, Pravda charged the Republican leader with attempting to run with the hare and hop with the hound.
Vatutin Leads Thrust Deep Into Nazi Line
Moscow, Bulletin, (INS) — Gen. Nikolai Vaututin's First Ukrainian army today pushed an arrowhead-shaped offensive deep into German lines along a front line 40 miles long centered about recaptured Belaiya-Tserkov, and threatening with annihilation one million Nazi troops to the southward. Front-line dispatches described Vaututin's thrust as carrying forward through the entire region. Directly west of that town, the red army pursued the fleeing enemy at bayonet-point, while other units to the northwest probed deeper into pre-war Poland.

"The British and American air forces are giving German war industries no rest," the Soviet commentator said.
A panicky evacuation of Berlin by its frightened populace is under way. Stockholm newspapers reported today, with hundreds of thousands of Berliners leaving the city daily and authorities helpless to stop them. Every means of conveyance is being used in the exodus which may yet rank as the greatest in the history of the world.
Russians 7 Miles into Poland
Absenteeism Reaches 50 Per Cent
Berlin's massive factories, mainstay of the entire German war effort, are severely handicapped not only by the damage done by Allied bombing but by the flight of workers. Absenteeism has reached 50% in some cases, making it difficult for the Nazis to keep in operation plants which have thus far escaped damage or destruction.
The Soviet broadcast had particular praise for the daring United States flying fortress raid upon the city of Schwewfurt, site of a ball-bearing plant which turned out 50 per cent of the Reich's production of this vital war material. Sixty giant bombers and two fighter planes were lost in the raid.
"This raid was a particularly hard blow to Hitler's war machine and certainly had serious reaction on the Russian front," the Russian commentator said.
These serious reactions mounted with the passing hours. Latest reports put the Russians seven miles west of the three 1939 Polish borders. While successful new attacks upon Europe from British air bases (continued from page four)

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
War Board Members Aid Home Economy
Today marks the second anniversary of War Price and Rationing Boards. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce gave a lunchon honor ing these board members, who serve without pay in this important home front war effort.
The purpose of these boards is to stabilize home economy, an essential part of the war effort. So, instead of gripping about the members of these boards, we should praise them and thank them for the time-consuming patriotic work they are doing unselfishly.
All over the country citizens are willingly giving their time to work on these boards and they deserve recognition. Too many regard the members as ogres, as politicians, and as grudge-bearers. Few realize the difficult job of planning and determining the real needs of the people, with which these Board members must cope.
It is not so hard to be regarded as patriotic when you are in uniform. It is not so hard to appear patriotic when you are working in a war war factory. But it is hard to be praised for patriotism when you work behind a desk where necessarily unpleasant facts are passed, where some requests must be denied. Of course, the armed forces and the war factories are essential to victory. But let's pause occasionally and especially today to praise other essential war workers—the War Price and Rationing Board's members.
Racial Tolerance Is Resolve for 1944
A marine, home from Guadalcanal, recently made headlines with a scalding letter to the California American Legion denouncing the racial hatred promoted by that organization. He said, in essence, he and his fellow marines would fight this injustice at home as readily as they fight the Japanese in the Pacific!
This rebuke, coming from a marine who has been fighting the enemy, has force behind it and cannot be easily overlooked. Seldom enough are voices raised against the growing menace of racial intolerance, which constitutes a major threat to the very freedom for which we profess to be fighting.

When Ensign Mike O'Donnell, a Phi Delt have last year, came back to visit on New Year's Eve, he challenged Jack Gisell, PT1, to a tape measure contest: Mike away with the waistline honor by fully 6 inches. Jack, who says these wartime girdles just don't fit right. blames good food or bad beer (or vice versa) for his slipping chest:
In the line of duty: Gene Kittle, Phi Psi freshman, feels that a public explanation would hold the situation along: The Phi Pais came up to Fraser theater to have their pictures taken Monday night, and somewhere in the scuffle, Gene (only heir apparent to the Delt scholarship throne) was nominated to remain and tote planks and other odd bits of equipment around for the rest of the evening—by virtue of his smartness. The Jayhawker staff decided to take an intermission and Gene went along, glancing furtively over his shoulder all the while. It finally came to light that he was supposed to have a date waiting at the game (either a Delta Gam or a Gamma Phi—the issue is not very clear). His fond hope was that may-
ue one of his brothers would take over the date situation and keep a friendly relationship, although not too friendly, with said girl.
His friends were glad to see that Charles Moffett, Delt, has regained his nerve. Charles spent all Christmas vacation alone in the Delt house so that he could practice basketball with the K.U. squad. By the time his brothers had returned, Charles' red hair was standing on end, and for nights he kept insisting that he still beard gremlins in the hall. His friends, who are not in training, assured him that they were only pink elephants.

The hero of the PTI house, who is credited (anonymously) with having shot a Jap- or nearly so--right after Pearl Harbor, is having trouble keeping the rest of the boys on their feet. Its very disconcerting, he says in no uncertain language, to look back and find half of his outfit slipping, sliding, or falling along on the ice. Bob is the solo artist on "hep, two, three, four" for the outfit.

The race riots in Detroit, in Harlem, in Boston, and in California are blotches on the name of the United States, a name which to the other nations of the world, we are told, means democracy. How can the United States ever expect to get along with the other peoples of the world, much less guide them, while her own people are so extremely intolerant of each other? The people of Boston cannot with justification
accuse Hitler while they, themselves, allow riots against Jews to run unchecked for a year and a half. The people of California cannot justifiably point an accusing finger at Hitlerism while they falsely use the banner of patriotism to purge the Japanese. The people of Detroit have little grounds on which to censure Hitlerism when they look at the racial riots and the conditions which caused them in their city.
None of us is free from prejudice and intolerance, but we have the ability to rid ourselves of them if we try. If we refuse to try, the reckoning will come, and we will all be the worse for it. None of us can sit passively while purges and riots continue in this country and hope

The subject, "How Should the Armed Forces Be Demobilized?" will be discussed at the regular Roundtable broadcast at 9:30 p.m. Friday, over KFKU. This is the first of four programs which will be presented during January on post-war problems.
Hull Confers With Halifax On Russo-Polish Relations
Washington, (INS) — Secretary of State Cordell Hull conferred for more than an hour today with British Ambassador Lord Halifax. The Polish problem was understood to be one of the chief topics of discussion. The British envoy's visit marked a further step in the intensified efforts which Anglo-American diplomacy is making to avert a new crisis in Russo-Polish relations as a result of the advance into Poland by Soviet forces.
for a magical dispersion of them and a peaceful country when the war is over. Instead of disappearing, they will grow if we do not become more tolerant.
A clean slate is handed us with the coming of the new year. We cannot hope it will be unblotched at the end of the year, but we certainly have a very good chance of making it a much cleaner slate than the one with which we have just finished. A resolution for 1944—to fight prejudice and intolerance of other races whenever and wherever we see it—would be a most timely resolution and a practical step toward peace in our own country and in the world

Situation for Uniformed Men on Kansas Campus Differs from Life in 1918
"As Sherman said, 'War is hell.' mumbles one of Uncle Sam's boys as he appears for revuele at 6 a.m., fully dressed. (That bulge under his uniform is pajamas which he has neglected to remove in his baste.) Fifteen, nay, 12 seconds later, our hero is back in bed, where he stays until time for 7:30 military. Really tough.
By Hanna Hedrick
Although home may never have been like this, the men study in well-equipped rooms and, despite an occasional touch of food poisoning, eat well.
Not Such a Hard Life
From 9:30 until 10:30 p.m., our boy clad in olive drab can make a quick trip to the nearest juke joint for a refreshing beer. His counterpart, the Navy lad, is somewhat more restricted in his wanderings, as the Navy believes that all work and no play won't make him too dull. Anyway, weekends come around every six days.
Consider the case of the army and navy students during the first World War. The first contingent of 256 army students arrived at K.U. June 15, 1918, and were temporarily quartered in Robinson gymnasium. There were also a naval reserve unit and a marine unit on the Hill, but predominating was the Student Army Training Corps.
The west wing of the Administration building and Lindley hall were turned over to the incoming military men for lodging, 'as was the majority of the fraternities and organized houses, which were, incidently, built with an eye to comfort. Confusion During Last War
Administrative plans called for the construction of 13 barracks, each of which would house about 200 men. Eight were to be built on Mississippi street and five on the Hill between Marvin and Haworth halls.
SOS to Students
These should have been finished by Oct. 1, but on Oct. 2, the Chancellor sent out a frantic SOS for 250 students who would help complete the buildings. On Oct. 7, 850 men moved into two of the larger barracks.
These buildings were barracks in the strictest sense of the word. All of the men slept in one large room, and, as legend has it, when one man shifted, it was like knocking down a row of dominos. Perhaps these sleeping arrangements were all for the best, as the heating system consisted of one rather feeble, pipeless furnace.
Each man was allotted 45 square feet of space,20 of which was taken up by his bed. There was no room for study tables, but later on, they were told they could buy folding chairs if they wanted to.
Crowded Living Conditions
The soldiers studied on their bunks, and those with writing and drawing to do adjournment to the mess hall, which was separated from their community boudoir by a partition. Some maintain that they were put to bed each night with a G.I. kiss from the lieutenant, after two hours of supervised studying. The fact remains that they really did go to bed at 10 p.m.
One commodity they were stricly prohibited from buying was cigarettes.
On Oct. 8, 1918, the University was closed because of the influenza epidemic. This gave the army more time free from studying, which they spent cleaning up the barracks.
Could Not Buy Cigarets
One hundred and thirty were sent to the hospital with flu. The town people came across nobly and donated five and a half dozen pairs of
pajamas, an article which the army had evidently forgotten to issue. Problem in Water Supply
The meal problem was also acute. The water supply of Lawrence became contaminated, and the pressure fell. No water could be used without first boiling. It was really at a premium, and every soldier had a consuming thirst which usually comes on only after "the night before."
The cooks could not prepare meals without water, and local cafes were not able to accommodate all of the men. Surprisingly enough, no one died of starvation before the situation was remedied. Medical Students Forgotten

Under America's system of freedom of enterprise, the business-managed electric companies provide over 80% of the nation's vast power supply.
Maybe snow and ice never endanger electric service in your neighborhood. But the ingenuity, skill and courage with which these linemen keep current flowing are typical of the way electric company men everywhere meet other emergencies, including the greatest emergency—WAR.

From the Sidelines By Bob Bock. Kansan Sports Editor
Kansas should have more trouble in defeating the Olathe Clippers in their return game at Olathe Monday night than in whipping the Missouri Tigers in the Big Six opener at Columbia Saturday. Last Monday night Olathe trounced Rockhurst College, 59 to 27, the largest margin the latter has been defeated this season. However, the young Hawks were playing their first game without their star junior center, Tom Drainey, who has entered the Navy V-12 as a medical student at Creighton. Thus Rockhurst has an entire freshman starting lineup.
This was the sixth victory in seven starts for Olathe, who were also handicapped as their coach, Lt. Marty Peters, was confined to the Naval hospital. Last night the Clippers scored a 47 to 38 victory over the same Pittsburg Teacher aggregation the Jayhawks defeated here Monday night, 35 to 21. It looks like next Monday night's game should be a tosse-up, with Olathe having the advantage of playing on their home court.
However, Missouri is another matter and the Jayhawks are definitely a clear cut favorite. Although the Tigers are always tough on their own court, their exhibition against little Westminster College last night in which they barely eked out a 32 to 30 triumph, was hardly impressive. Kansas was badly off form in their game against Missouri at Kansas City last week which they won, 14 to 27. The Jayhawks are determined to start their Big Six campaign with a decisive win over the Tigers.
C. E. (K.C. Star) McBride states that you can hardly blame Ad Lewandowski, basketball coach at Nebraska, for looking longingly at the playing talent among the Army trainers at the University. Twenty-two players of basketball from 14 states, nine of the 22 with varsity experience.

Louis Menze, former Central High (K.C.Mo.), is off on his 16th coaching season at Iowa State. Besides Price Brookfield, tall former West Texas State star, Menze's Cycloneoster also includes Ray and Roy Wehdhe and Gene Oulman, lettermen; Lyle Naylor of Drake; Bob Wade of Washington, St. Louis; and Lloyd Kester, forward, who was on ast year's frost team.
At Iowa State, George F. Veenker, head of the physical education department, has announced that compulsory physical education for men has been abolished there.
It will be replaced by a program under which all such training will be on a voluntary and competitive sports basis, Veenker said.
He added, "One handicap to our policy of carry-over habits in sports has been the antagonism of students to the 'required' element in physical education. We feel that we can on a voluntary basis accomplish at least as much, and probably more, than we have in the past on a required basis.
"In the future, rather than a 'big muscle' program, we want a program of enjoyable physical education and athletics with social values both while in college and after graduation."
The new program, which goes into effect tomorrow, will include bowling, basketball, boxing, calisthenics, handball, track, volley ball, and winter sports.
According to Jack Copeland of the Wichita Beacon:
Apparently Wichita basketball fans believe that Kansas University was in the wrong for cancelling the second game with
Hutchinson Naval. Several of the better informed customers took time out Sunday to let us have their views on the subject and at least 90 per cent of 'em were opposed to the Kansas move. Chief "beef" concerned the fact that Hutchinson Naval had fulfilled her obligation by playing at Lawrence and that it was only fair for Kansas to return the game at Hutchinson before the boys in the Navy.
Naturally, there are two sides to the argument. Kansas claims that the Hutchinson team was too rough for the collegians. Yet Hutchinson coach Lt. Bill Hennigh has told friends here that the rough stuff did not start until the Navy team had a 12-point edge. It is Hennigh's contention that Kansas was guilty of starting the rough stuff.
"It doesn't seem plausible that we would start getting rough when we had a big lead," Hennigh observed. "Kansas was trying to catch us and their play got out of line."
Lack of Snow Spoils Fun
Recently Hutchinson evened the score with the Norman NAS 45 to 37. Last week the Oklahoma Sooners defeated their cross town rivals by a similar margin so it appears that the Sooners and Hutchinson are much on a par.
Owing to lack of snow, skiing and ice skating classes at the University of Colorado may have to be postponed, the Silver and Gold announced.

Slapping Leather! Slingin' Lead! As They Make the Law Russell Hayden, Fuzzy Knight "Frontier Law"
Both fives have defeated their respective "college brothers" as the Kansas Jayhawks were defeated by the soldiers, 38 to 23, in a pre-season game as part of Homecoming festivities. Another game between the two teams will be played soon, but the date has not been set. The Lindley Hall boys are led by Ted Bean, who scored 22 points against the varsity. Bean starred for Valparaiso University last year and received honorable mention for his outstanding play in the national intercollegiate basketball tournament at Kansas City. Tracy Stephenson, Champaign, Ill., sparkplugs the K.U. army five, playing the quarterback position. John Collins, former all-state high school star at Elden, Mo., is another big gun in the K.U. ASTP attack.
The Kansas State ASTP boys hold a victory over the youthful Kansas State Wildcats, 42 to 30. Their team boasts several members of the last year Aggie squad.
The admission price is 25 cents to all.
Dr. Allen Sworn In On Service Board

Naval Training Team Bows to Ft. Riley
Suffering from lack of height and experience, the Naval Training school bowed before the Fort Riley Centaurs, 52-29 last night. This is the third defeat to be handed to the Navy team by the Centaurs this season.
Although the Navy men were topped by about four inches per man, they played a much better game than was played against the Olathe Air Base, Chief Yeomar Starkey commented.
The ranks of the Navy team were bolstered by two V-12's, Lyon Williams and Bob Miller. Chief Starkey explained that in future games against outside service teams both Machinists Mates and V-12's would be used, making truly a Naval Training School team.
Workshop Discusses Plans for New Play
Work will begin the first of next week on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the Dramatic Workshop decided yesterday at a meeting of its members at 4:30 p.m. in the Little Theater in Green hall.

41ST YEAR
Officers to Visit Car us to Test V-12 Transferees
Naval aviation medal and line of officers will visit the V-12 unit at the University of Kansas Friday and Saturday to give mental and physical examinations to V-12 trainees who have indicated a desire to transfer from V-12 to V-5 naval aviation training
the same time, civilians who wi
would find out if they are qualifi-
cated or enlistment in naval aviation
will be given an opportunity to do so. They have been advised to go to west wing of Frank Strong hall either Friday or Saturday.
Applicants must be high school seniors or graduates from 17 to 26, inclusive. They will be given final mental tests and preliminary physical examinations. Those found qualified will later be called to the Kansas City Office of Naval Officer Procurement at government expense to complete their enlistment.
No high school seniors enlisting now will be called for training until after their graduation, and it is expected that all will be given two semesters of college work before beginning their regular naval aviation training which requires from 16 to 18 months. Civilian college students enlisting now may be deferred until the end of the school year if they so desire.
It has not yet been determined when V-12 students who pass the flight examinations will be transferred to the V-5 program training program which leads to commissions as flying officers in the Naval Reserve or the Marine Corps Reserve
Medical officers who will be here Friday and Saturday are Lieut. Com. James E. Bowman, flight examiner and senior medical officer of the Office of Naval Officer Procurement in Kansas City, and Lt. Millard P. Jones of the Hutchinson Naval Air station. Lt. Jones recently returned to the United States after nineteen months at advanced bases in the Pacific. Also in the group will be Lt. Theodore M. O'Leary of the Kansas City officer procurement office, and five medical corpsmen.

Third Program For Technicians To Begin Jan. 31
Upon the request of the Boeing Airplane Company of Wichita, and North American Aviation, Inc., of Kansas City, the University will offer its third program for training women as aeronautical technicians beginning Jan. 31, University authorities announced today. The department of aeronautical engineering, under the auxuries of the School of Engineering and Architecture, will administer the program.
Airplane company authorities have announced that some of the graduates of the two former technician training programs conducted here are now receiving salaries of $200 to $300 per month while employed in aircraft construction. During the twelve weeks training period, the young women received approximately $100 per month, while being carried regularly on the payrolls of the two aircraft companies.
Laboratory Equipment Added
H. S. Stillwell, chairman of the department of aeronautical engineering, said today that since the training of women as aeronautical technicians began, approximately a year ago, nearly $150,000 worth of aircraft equipment has been added to the laboratory facilities of the department, much of it having been acquired from the United States Army Air Corps within the past four months.
This equipment, with the recent completion of a testing laboratory for aircraft engines, provides the University with one of the most completely equipped modern aeronautical engineering laboratories for engineering schools in the country. Can Obtain Details in Fraser. ...
Stillwell received a personnel report from Boeing this week indicating that of the 75 women who completed their training in the first program here and were transferred to the plant on Sept. 1, 71 were now employed in the Wichita division.

World Meet Revealing To Delegate
"For five days at Wooster, 500 of us actually lived in the kind of world felowship everyone dreams of for the post-war world," Julia Ann Casad, College sophomore, said of her recent trip to the Student Christian Conference at the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio.
Delegates to the conference were housed in college dormitories whose regular occupants had gone home for the Christmas vacation. They ate in large dining rooms at the college.
"It was quite an experience to sit down for lunch and find a Negro girl at your left, a Chinese girl at your right, a Japanese boy a few seats down, and maybe a German boy and a French girl sitting side by side across the table from you," Miss Cassd recalled.
21 Foreign Nations Represented
In addition to the delegates representing every section of the United States and Canada, 42 students from 21 foreign nations attended the conference. The countries were England, New Zealand, Uruguay, Peru, China, Puerto Rico, Nigeria, Guatemala, Columbia, Bulgaria, Argentina, Germany, Gold Coast, France Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Trinidad Ceylon, India, and Sierra Leone.
The students from Germany and France had been in the United States before the war. One French girl had no knowledge of her parents' whereabouts at the present time. Her home had been on the outskirts of Paris. One of the German boys spoke to the delegates about the Student Christian Movement in Germany, which functions underground despite all efforts to suppress it.
Group Quite Friendly
"Despite the differences in race, nationality, and background, they were the friendliest group of people I've ever been among." Miss Casad said of the delegates. "I think it was because they all believed in the same things, and were working for the same dreams. It wasn't so much the things that were said at the conference that I shall remember, but the fact that we were living real brotherhood."
Delegates were kept busy every hour of the day. In the mornings they attended seminars; they heard various speakers in the afternoon until 3:30, when they were free to browse in the library and get acquainted with each other. After dinner there were more discussions.

DuPont and British Firms Accused Of Conspiracy to Control Sale, Price Of Chemicals, Arms, Ammunition
(International News Service)
Washington, (INS)—The Justice Department in an action alleging violation of the anti-trust laws, charged today that two big American firms and a British company "conspired" to control the sale and price of chemical products, fire arms, and ammunition.
The firms were named as the DuPont Company, the Remington - Rand Arm Company, both American, and the Imperial Chemical Industries Limited of Great Britain.
Reds Pour Deep Into Poland
The mighty armies of Soviet Russia drove deeper into old Poland and toward the frontier of Rumania today, pouring Nazi Germany's military life-blood onto the battlefield while enormous new devastations was visited upon the Reich by Allied war planes.
(International News Service)
Non-stop American and British aerial onslaughts against targets in Europe kept pace with the sweeping Russian advance, and on the Italian battlefront the American fifth army pressed a large scale offensive against the German-held bastine of San Vittore, blocking the road to Rome.
Allied bombing planes shuttlecock back and forth across the English Channel in an unending stream following a heavy night attack upon Stettin, the fort of Berlin, and a new raid on the German capitol itself by mosquito bombers. Full details of the Stettin assault were not available but great damage was believed done.
Berlin Suffers Tremendous Loss
In the battle of Berlin, the British thus far have lost only 2,000 men. With them went 272 R. A. F. heavy bombers in the last ten large-scale assaults against the Nazi capital. But against this sacrifice Berlin has suffered:
Several square miles of the city wiped out completely.
50 pgr cent of its war production stopped.
Enough buildings destroyed to render 3 million persons, more than half of the city's population, homeless.
Government administration virtually paralyzed with major headquarters demolished or damaged.
Popular morale hammered also to the breaking point. Tennessee
On the Russian front Soviet troops liberated 60 more towns and villages and General Vatutin's first Ukrainian army pressed toward the Rumanian frontier while other units headed toward the town of Sarny in Poland Steady progress was reported for American troops operating in northern New Britain Island. Unbroken aerial activity accompanied ground action in the far Pacific as well as upon the Italian fronts.
Lt. Col. Wimmer Is Working In Transportation Corps
Lt. Col. Eugene R. Wimmer, a student in '25, is now with the production division of the transportation corps in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was formerly with the transportation corps in Washington.
The charge was contained in a complaint against the three concerns and their principal officers filed in the United States district court in New York today.
Seventy-five Army Specialized Training Program trainees may soon go into troop duty as the result of deficiencies in studies or conduct, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris announced today.
It was charged that DuPont and the British company engaged in "a conspiracy and combination in restraint of trade and commerce in chemical products, arms including war material, and ammunition in the United States and with foreign nations, and have been and are now parties to contracts and agreements in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act."
Remington-Rand, said to be controlled by DuPont, is charged with having entered the conspiracy in 1933.
The suit alleged that the two American firms and the British company had entered agreements with the German Die trust to control world sale of chemicals, firearms, and ammunition. Outbreaks of the war prevented the completion of the agreement with the Germans.
May Send 75 Into Troop Duty
The ASTP board which recently reviewed the academic and leadership standings of all trainees bound 68 deficient academically. They have been reported to Headquarters, Seventh Service Command, as available for assignment to troop duty.
The cases of seven other trainees charged with violations of ASTP standing orders governing conduct and discipline are under consideration by the Commandant for determination as to whether they should be eliminated from the program.
The 68 trainees with academi failure will be withdrawn from classes, effective Friday.
Three Professors Speak Over KFKU
Prof. W. E. Sandelius of the political science department, Prof. W. Ashton, chairman of the English department, and Fletcher McCord, assistant professor in the psychology department, took part in a discussion program at 9:30 p.m. yesterday over station KFKU. Their subject was More's "Utopia."

THE KANSAN COMMENTS Electrician's Mates Start Classes Here Rock Chalk Talk
The training program at the University is under the supervision of the School of Engineering and Architecture, with Prof. J. O. Jones as acting dean, and is divided into three divisions: mathematics, electrical laboratory training, and shop practice.
Subjects taken by future electrician's mates are: mathematics electrical theory, blue print reading, hand tool shop, motor shop, wiring shop, and electrical laboratory. These courses of study provide the basis for training, and as a general basis for more advanced training in radio, radar, and other specialized fields.
This week another course of study has been added to the University curricula, the training of electrician's mates. This course turns out men ready for active shore or sea duty, although some will go to more advanced schools for specialized electrical training. This program of study at the University will gradually replace the training of machinist's mates.
Fifty-six men for this program have already arrived. They come from various naval training stations over the country, and are chosen for this type of training through aptitude tests.
Electrician's mates are an essential part of the Navy. They have the care and maintenance of electrical equipment, devices, and lines aboard ship or in shore activities. The electrical work done by these men includes care of wiring, lighting, generators, motors, alarm systems, radar, and telephonic equipment.
So now we welcome the new men in training in the University who are replacing the machinist's mates, the first of the armed services to arrive on the campus a year and a half ago. We hope the new men will like the University, the Mt. Oread community, and Lawrence. We hope the months spent here will be pleasant, and that the Navy lads will look back upon their training at the University of Kansas with fond memories.

Many Had Visited India
WORLD MEET---sporting Brownlee's Beta diamond. Just why the two girls saw fit momentarily to swap futures remains a matter of conjecture.
"I attended the seminar on "India," Miss Casad said. "I was surprised to find that not only the chief speaker, a returned missionary, but nearly everyone else in the group had actually been to India. They were unanimously agreed that India should be given at least dominion status."
Most appealing to Miss Casad was the idea stressed in all meetings concerned with the mission of the church after the war — that Americans must never again be satisfied just to send out missionaries "to convert the heathen."
"Missionary work must no longer be geographical, but functional," she explained. "Anywhere they are needed—in the slums or among sharecroppers in America as well as in the jungles of India, missionaries must be sent."
It was disclosed at the conference that India plans to send missionaries to the United States within a short time to aid in the interchange of ideas and the sharing of culture.

Audience Listens to Orcutt Piano Recital With Enthusiasm
The annual recital of Ruth Orcutt, pianist, drew an enthusiastic audience to Fraser theater last night for a concert that was breezy, buoyant, and invigorating. Miss Orcutt's ease of performance and deep feeling for the music were particularly impressive.
Miss Orcutt began her program with the "Allegro Vivace" from Bach's "Toccata in G Major," which was intensely alive and set a mood for the selections that followed. She followed this interpretation with the melodious "Chorale-Preludes" (Brahmss-Busoni).
In the fast-moving "Perpetual Motion," Carl A. Preyer's transcription of Weber, Miss Orcutt possessed a sense of touch and speed and cool competence. In contrast followed her fine interpretation of the slow-moving "Prelude, Chorale and Fugue" (Franck).
The next group was from the French and Spanish composers. The light-hearted, "Mandolinata" (Paladilhe-Saint-Saens) and the short "Bolero" (Turina) were well-received by the audience. "The Wine-Gate" No. III from Preludes, Book II) by Debussy gave an imaginative touch to the program. "The Valley of Bells" (Ravel) lent a more serious beauty.
Sweeping into the last group Miss Orcutt played the rhythmic "Polka de W.R." (Rachmaninoff). After it, she played the popular and delicate "The Musical Snuffbox" by Liadoff.
The brilliant "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12" (Liszt) was one of the most distinctive offerings on the program. Miss Orcutt's mastery of technique and interpretation of the number captivated the attention of the audience.
With its applause, the audience called Miss Orcutt back to the stage several times. The pianist received bouquets during and after the performance.
Next on the School of Fine Arts calendar will be Artur Rubinstein, pianist, who will play on the University Concert Course at 8:20, Jan. 13 in Hoch auditorium.

Ober's HEAD TO FOOT OUT FITTERS
PAGE FOUR
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1944
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Dr. Phog will get a big laugh out of this. Recently, Pete Lightner, Wichita Eagle sports ed, came out vociferously against the 12-foot basket as if he were making a one-man campaign against this revolutionary change in the rules, which Dr. Allen says is sure to come. Lightner said that the only reason Allen and Bruce Drake of Oklahoma were for such change was because of the seven-foot goal tending Kurland of the Oklahoma Aggies, who had taken Allen's Jayhawks and Drake's Sooners for a cleaning. This was absurd because Kansas whipped the Aggies twice last year with Kurland in the lineup and have not and will not play them this year, because of an incident in the A & M game here last year in which Henry Iba finished the game with only four players after several of his stars had gone out by way of the foul route.
* *
Lightner's statement is all the more false because even Iba himself has been quoted as in favor of the raising of the baskets. The Eagle man goes on to say that the raising of the baskets is a situation similar to that a few years ago when the fans in St. Louis' Sportsman's park made a howl for the raising of the fences because it was too easy for such power hitters as Babe Ruth who once called his home run in a World Series game against the Cards at St. Louis) to knock the ball over the fence. The fences were heightened with a high screen also out up with the result that it is now much more difficult to hit a circuit bout. Lightner says that now the ans are sorry, for they miss those our base pokes. And that is the argument Mr. Lightner uses against the 12-foot basket: just because you happen to have a skyscraper-cager who can dunk the ball in the 10-foot basket, everyone yells to raise the goal just like they did with the baseball fences when home runs seemed too easy to hit.
**
A few days later Lightner came up with what he thought to be even a better example. He said that when a Kentucky coach was recently querier over the Bill Stern sports-reels real concerning the raising of the basket, he replied, "Well, I suppose the next thing that will come up will be some ice hockey manager raising a kick because his rival brought out a big fat goalie and for that reason the goals ought to be widened."
Lightner in concluding his remarks about "leaving the goals where they are" says that it's the averaged size men that do the scoring and not the "peeping goons" or "mezzanine hurdles," as Dr. Allen more politely terms them. In a recent series in which the "world's tallest team," Valapariso University, lost two of three with Wichita semi-pro Aircraft teams, it
was an averaged sized player that did most of Valpo's scoring rather than their six-foot eight- and 10-inch giants. Lightner says that it is the adept little fellows like Cessna's Dick Smith that time and again outscore their taller competitors.

Phog Hates "Shinny"
Many followers have been gunning for which the Kansas U-ASTP game following the season opener in which the soldiers triumphed over the green young Jayhawks. Most fans would figure that with their recent exhibitions and the fact that they are now rounding into a "real" team, the Jayhawks would be able to take care of the soldiers. Last night the ASTP came over for a practice game. Dr. Allen who was disgusted with they way his boys were performing last night in practice said, "We might as well get the slaughter started." Before you knew it, the Jayhawks had a commanding lead, Iowan "Bud" Palmer held Ted Bean, ex-Valpo (Ind.) star who scored 22 points in the team's first meeting, to nary a field goal. It was really quite a battle but the game began to get out of hand, so Dr. Allen thought it best to call it an evening. The Jayhawks were leading 10 to 9. It was really quite a battle and there would be nothing we would rather see than these two teams matched again in Hoch auditorium with good officiating.
\* \* \*
ou might as well remember this: There is nothing the famous Kansas coach more despises than slam-bang "shimmy" basketball as he calls it, when both teams boot each other up and down the court in a free-for-all. This quite often occurs when officials lose control of the game. This is the reason why Kansas will have nothing more to do with either Hutchinson NAS or the Oklahoma Aggies. As Allen states, "Let's either have basketball or don't have it."

Errorless, Today, We Hope
Errorless, Today, We Hope
Today we hope that sport information in the Kansan is free from error. Monday in the calendar of coming events it was stated that KU, will meet Hutchinson NAS there Jan. 24. With all that has been said afore and since, we thought everyone knew that the game had been cancelled. Tuesday the headline streamed that "KU, wins sixth game of season," which was a trifle misleading. It was the sixth win against college and service foes combined. Yesterday only a minor, insignificant typographical error graced our eye. It was stated that "Lyon" Williams, V-12, bolstered the Machinist's Mate five against Fort Riley. We know that "little Willie," former star athlete at Salina, is a mighty tricky little scatback, and he may be a 'social lion' for all we
The first game of the evening, between SOW and V-12, got off to a slow start, with first blood drawn by SOW with a charity toss. Lack of practice together kept the V-12's from scoring heavily in the first half, but they found themselves in the second half, pouring 22 points through the net to the SOW's 10. V-12 led at the half, 12-10.
V-12's, Blanks Are Winners In Local League
Ens. H, G. Ware, V-12 coach, used three different teams in the game, substituting freely to find winning combinations. Ed Pyle, 6 foot 3-inch from Belott, led V-12, scoring 7 points, followed by Hartzell and Lutz with 6 each. Hoke, SOW, was high man of the game, with 11 points.
V-12 nosed out the SOW Ads, 34-20, and the Blanks won a 35-33 thriller from the Ship's company in the opening games of the Lawrence Community Basketball League in the community building last night.
Bob Bock, freshman from Macksville, paced the Blanks in the second game of the evening with 13 points with pivot shots, which the ship's company were unable to block. Leo Smith, with nine points, added to the Blank's total. Tantzgwe with 10, and Ens. Ware, with 6, led the Ship's company scoring.
Eight Haskell students, under the direction of Mr. Wallace, Haskell
know, but his first name is Lynn,
not Lyon.
There is nothing like the draft for getting men. Last night a fine opening night crowd watched the first of the Community League basketball games. However, most of the men were in blue. It couldn't have been because 15 sailors from each PT were by lot selected to go to the games on their Wednesday night off and cheer their V-12 brothers on the court. Fifteen of the slips which were drawn out of the hat said "you go," so go they did.

In the second game, Ensign H. G. Ware will have the double duty of coaching the V-12 team and of holding down his regular spot on the Ship's Company, the opponents of the V-12's.
Officials were Chaler Woodard, of Lawrence High, and Van Devere, Haskell.
The Rascals, coached by J. R. Collins, is as yet unknown, while the SOW Techs, are expected to compare with their co-team, the SOW Ads. who lost to V-12, 34-20 last night.
Tonight, the SOW Techs will meet the Irish Rascals at 7:30, and the V-12 will oppose the Ship's Company in the second game.
In attendance at the game were City Councilmen Pyne and Burgert and Lt. A. H.Buhl, commanding officer of Naval Training School, Lt. Com. W. B. Key, medical officer, and Lt. C. A. Michelman, commanding officer of V-12.

Federal Officials Hold Conferences With University Department Heads On Rehabilitation of Veterans
Plans for placement of disabled veterans of the Army and Navy for vocational rehabilitation at the University of Kansas were discussed yesterday and today by the administrative staff and a committee of four vocational rehabilitation officers. The committee interviewed the different departments to find the
scope of fields offered by the University and what opportunities for placement would be.
Under federal provision, veterans who have been disabled will be trained at government expense for specific vocations according to their particular aptitude and ability. The training will be for a maximum of four years, and provision for the support of families will be made while the veteran is taking his training.
To Train for Professions
Beneficiaries of this training for a maximum of four calendar years during and after the war may in time mount into the hundreds.
Professions as well as trades are being considered and it will be in the professional line that much of University training here will
Committee Members Listed
Three men who have been disabled for active duty in this war, are now receiving vocational training under this program at the University. Plans will include training for both men and women in the armed services.
Members of the committee visiting the University are:
O. Myking Mehus, vocational rehabilitation officer for the Excelsior Springs, Mo., of the division of Veterans Administration; E. G. Kennedy, vocational adviser of the Veterans Administration; C. F.

War Prisoners Leap Off Santa Fe Train
Wichita, (INS) — Federal Bureau of Investigation agents today were leading a manhunt for four German prisoners of war who escaped from a Santa Fe train this morning. The prisoners leaped from the train at a point 17 miles west of Elmdale, Kans., in Chase county. Two of the fugitives were traced in a car stolen at Cedar Point to Wichita where police believed they have one of the war prisoners trapped in a wooded park south of the city.

60 May Enroll As Technicians
Approximately 60 women are expected to enroll for the third course for aeronautical technicians which will be offered beginning Jan. 31, Guy V. Keeler, director of the Engineering Science Management War Training program, announced today. This course is a war training course, sponsored by ESMWT and taught by University staff members in the department of aeronautical engineering.
"This 12-week course is open to any woman having been graduated from high school. Although some college training is desirable, it is not essential." Mr. Keeler said. "There is no tuition, no fees, and a salary of $100 a month will be paid the trainee while in school."
Applicants will be employed by the Boeing Aircraft company, Wichita, or North American Aviation Incorporated, Kansas City, Kans., before they begin training, and upon completion of the course they will go immediately into these aircraft companies at salaries beginning at $125 to $160 a month with opportunities for advancement.
Classes, which will be conducted 44 hours a week, include courses in aircraft drafting, aircraft nomenclature, aircraft materials and processes, and applied mathematics and mechanics. Women enrolled in these courses will be students of the University, eligible to attend University functions. However, these courses do not carry University credit.
Women interested in this course may apply at the office of ESMWT in room 109, Fraser.

Third Snow Of Winter Falls Today
A drop in temperature accompanied by snow and wind during the night brought midwinter discomfort to the campus today. A finewind-driven snow continued throughout the most of the day added to the two-inch depth that was recorded at sunrise.
Co-eds faced the puzzling problem again this morning of whether to don those troublesome galoshes and none-too-floating slacks, as they saw the whitefurry of the season's third snow from their windows.
A brisk wind caused the snow to drift and workmen on the campus had difficulty keeping sidewalks cleared, and state highway employees were called upon to keep roads open.
Breezing out into the wintry air those who had decided they were tough enough to stand anything, scoffed at their more cautious sisters. That was the first few feet on the trip to the hill. It didn't take long for them to change to "Why didn't you make me wear my slacks" attitude.
But the male portion of Hill population seemed to be thoroughly acquainted with the stinging bite of winter today, too; so it is to be inferred from all indications that it is just a down right cold January day here on the Hill.
Six Play Instruments in Student Recital
The regular student recital was given yesterday afternoon in Fraser theater by six students in the School of Fine Arts. The program was opened with a piano solo by Margaret Dunn with "Toccata" (Dorran) by Bach-Chiapusso.
Barbara Huls played a violin solo, "Adagio from Concerto in G Minor" by Bruch. Gorgia Weirnich played two piano solos, "Gardens in the Rain" and "Soiree in Grenade" by Dabussy.
The closing number was the adagio and seherzo from the "Trio in E flat," Op. 1, No.1, by Beethoven played by an ensemble composed of Peggy Kay, violin; Martha Lee Baxter, violincello; and Dorothy Shoup, piano.
Worst Storm in Century Recorded in Amarillo
Amarillo, Texas, (INS)—The worst storm on record since 1898 struck Amarillo with snowfall exceeding four inches by noon, howling winds of 42 miles an hour, and all traffic on highways and rail lines stopped. The weather bureau said that the storm was part of a general disturbance covering eastern New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, and the Oklahoma panhandle. Cattle losses were expected to total many thousands of dollars.

Jayhawks Play Tigers at M.U.
This year Dr. Allen hardly expects to duplicate last year's feat, let alone even winning top honors. As usual, the cagey Kansas mentor sees Iowa State and Oklahoma as better than his own Jayhawks, but if history repeats itself, Kansas again will be right up there hard in the running.
Those making the Missouri trip include Barrington, Lindquist, Moffett, Corder, McSpadden, Diehl, Stucker, Palmer, Malott, and Dick. The team will return Sunday evening.
Ten Kansas Jayhawks will leave for Tigerland this afternoon where tomorrow night at the M.U. fieldhouse in Columbia Dr. F. C. Allen's men will open their 1944 Big Six basketball season against the underdog Missouri Tigers. Last year Kansas was all-victorious, winning all 10 conference games.
Kansas recently defeated the Tigers in Kansas City, 34 to 27, and were off form in doing so. Thus the Tigers are as much the underdog as Kansas was in that Homecoming football game which Kansas stunned the sports world by winning, 7 to 6. This was listed by AP as one of the "upsets of the year." Since Missouri has yet to defeat a Kansas team in athletic competition this school year, there would be nothing the Tigers would rather do than triumph over the Kansas basketball team before a home crowd.
The Minx brothers, who scored 14 points between them in the K.C contest, will lead the Tiger attack Three gridders — Arbeitman. Del lastatious, and Collins — will se action for M.U. Others include their speedy forward Pippen, giant ten heir Heinsohn, and Clarkheard an Brown, reserves.
War Medical Course May Be Too Short
New York, (INS) — Dr. Arthur F. Chase, president of the New York Academy of Medicine, warned today that the war-time speed-up medical courses may unloose on the post-war United States a host of inadequately - trained physicians. Dr. Chase stated the group he heads has been studying for sometime the prospects which may be expected in the post-war world.
He cautioned that "the accelerated medical course now being given to thousands of medical students, the curtailment to nine months duration of hospital internship, and other forms of post-graduate instruction restrictions threatened to loose upon the public a host of inadequately-trained physicians."
More Men in Small Arms Offices Forty to 82 per cent of the office workers in small-arms plants are men.
- The decision was reached at a special session of the student court yesterday afternoon.
Engle Argues for Schaefer
The validity of Miss Schaefer's appointment to the council was contested by Herbert Peterson, second year law. Miss Schaefer was appointed following the passage of Bill 11, on October 13, which gave the president of the Council express power to appoint a Council representative from the student court.
Peterson contested the appointment on the ground that it was in direct violation of the provisions of Article 6 Section III of the governing constitution which expressly states: "No justice shall be a member of the council."
Clarence Engle, College junior appeared before the court on behalf of Miss Schaefer.
The issue first considered by the court was that of its own constitutionality in hearing the case. Engle contended that the student court had no legal power to decide the pending question because such power was not specifically delegated in the constitution.
The court decided, however, that declaring legislation of the Council unconstitutional lies within its power and that "to hold the council more important than the constitution is to deny the responsibility of the student council to the students of the University and indicates a mind deplorable in any legislative body.
Schaefer Cannot Be on Both
Upholding their decision concerning the ineligibility of Miss Schaefer, the court ruled, "We do not hold the court to be supreme to the council, but merely that the court must respond to the will of the student body as expressed by the constitution and disregard legislation in conflict thereto."
The court did not question Miss Schaefer's right to sit on the court, but held that she must sever all connections with the council.
Religious Emphasis Week Begins Feb. 13
The week of February 13 was selected for Religious Emphasis Week on the campus by representatives of the various student religious organizations at a meeting in Myers Hall Wednesday afternoon. The group selected Doris Bixby as their chairman.
Further plans for the Religious Emphasis Week program are to be announced later by the group.
In previous years Religious Emphasis Week has been sponsored in the fall by the Student Christian Federation. This year, however, the Federation has been disbanded. Difficulties arising with the short five weeks term and the change in the general campus program made it impossible to hold the program in the fall.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Short-Cut Becomes Campus Eyesore
The pathway begun over the snow and now down to dirt under the glass offers a great temptation for a short cut across the campus. When all the snow is gone, it will perhaps be such a habit to go this way that the path will become a dirt walk.
The path was started by Yahawi—as least, no one is going to confess to the deed. Many students, especially from other colleges where it was customary to walk on the grass, do not think this path is out of the ordinary. Older students at the University, however, must have pangs of conscience as they traverse the greenward but follow the crowd as their excuse.
After the Anatomy building burned, a great deal of time and money was spent by the University to plant grass and smooth over a campus eyesore. This effort seems to have gone to waste as students thoughtlessly trump over the grass.
The frequent melting and softening of the ground in between freezing weather is rapidly making a muddy slush of the pathway. By spring there will be a definite eyesore. It is certainly to be hoped that this habit of short-cutting can be stopped before it is too late.
Directory Reveals Names and Numbers; Is Issued This Week
"Oh, so that's where she lives!" "So, she does have a telephone number!"
"Hey, look what his middle name is!"
These exclamations could be heard anywhere on the campus Jan 3, the day that the Student Directory came out.
Students with the directories found themselves suddenly popular as groups of boys or girls gathered around them, clamoring to see the names of their favorites in print. When each privileged person had finally obtained it from the owner, he could be seen leafing through the pages, looking up first names, middle names, and addresses of those whom he knew and would like to know, while other telephone number seekers looked over his shoulders, nudged him, and insisted "I get it next!" Not much studying went on in the library after the first advent of students with directories.
The Student Directory is one of the most important registers, issued every year by the University of Kansas to its students. Ask the students themselves, and they will tell you that it is essential to them, that it is one of those "musts" that also boosts the student morale. Looking through it, one finds that Johnson is the most popular name, with 29 of them listed, and that Smith and Jones run a close second and third, with 27 and 24 respectively. Beginning with "Abbe, Richard W." and ending with "Zweifel, Samuel, Jr.", this small directory of 79 pages contains every student's, faculty member's officer's and employee's name, including army and navy men. Lindley Hall telephone numbers are not given.
Not only can the directory boast of letters and telephone numbers of beautiful girls and handsome men; it also has advertisements of Lawrence merchants, classified names of departments and department heads of the University, clubs and presidents of clubs and societies, both honorary and social. Inquisitive University students will find it a storehouse of information.
P. S. The asterics after faculty names means they are married.

Lock out below: The Delta Gams have a new pet which may or may not deserve its welcome. While Harriet Witmer, fine arts junior, was drawing stuffed birds in Spooner-Thayer museum this week, she decided to take a short intermission. Outside, she found the real McCoy, a baby pigeon. Thinking it looked cold, Harriet brought it in and wrapped it up in her coat. The discovery was then made that stuffed birds have better manners than live ones. The Delta Gams are rather dubiously awaiting the time when their pet will take wing.
The latest ingenuity displayed in invitations were those sent out by boys in PT3 for their party tomorrow night. The girls are informed that they are to appear before a general court martial to defend themselves ("we hope you don't") for several offenses. Out of military courtesy, only two were listed. The dates will be escorted to the barracks by "armed sailors."

Who would have guessed Kirk Scott, Gene Pucket, and John Heffernan, Christian names of Closken Kirkall of PT1, were blessed with the patrick, Johnnie Eugene, and John Timothy? Then we have Klemenhagen—Joseph Leopold, to be exact, ASTRP—who hails from way up in Long Prairie, Minn. Not to be forgotten are Arnold Ried Dollarhide, ASTRP, and Noel Richardson Slipsager, V-12.

WSSF Book Drive Will Begin Monday
A book collection will begin Monday to be conducted for a week by members of the World Student Service Fund committee of the YWCA for the benefit of students all over the world and allied prisoners-of-war.
Thousands of books are needed, and an appeal is being made by the committee for all students to cooperate in the drive by contributing books of the following types—modern college or preparatory school text books on any subject, language study books, and professional texts.
Aside from those written in English, these books may be in French German, Italian, Serbian, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Dutch, or Spanish.
For convenience of collection, a box will be placed in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall. Books will also be gathered from the various houses according to Eloise Penner, chairman.
This is the first time the WSSF committee has sponsored a drive of this type on this campus.

KU AST's Face K-State AST's Tomorrow Night
A real cage battle will be staged in Heech auditorium tomorrow night when two strong army clubs representing the ASTP units at Kansas and Kansas State hit it off beginning at 7.30. The admission price is 25 cents to all.
It will be the first meeting for the two teams, both of which have been compiling envious records. The Staters have twice defeated Ft. Riley CRTC and will play the cavalrymen again this Sunday.
Fritz Knorr, a K-State grad, tutors the Manhattan soldiers and has several former college stars in his lineup. John Bortka and Joe Ridgeway, starters, both played with the K-State varsity last year. The three starters include Jack Vaughn, Lafayette, Ind., Frank O'Hara, Bronx, Y., and Gerrit Wierda, Saginaw, Mich.
The latter three were outstanding with their respective high school teams. Reserves include George Schultz, ex-Oklahoma Aggie frosh, Jim Mortan, California, Steusser, and Kohl.
K. U. Will Be Tough
The K.U. soldiers have not played a very extensive schedule to date, but will nevertheless be tough to beat. Ted Bean, former Valparaiso University star, paces the Lindley ball attack, with little Tracy Stephenson, Champaign, Ill., setting the plays up from in front. John Collins, Eldon, Mo, Bob Evans, Kalphom, Pa., and Kenneth Rumble all are capable performers. This team averages better than 6 foot one in height. Reserves include Ed Moreland, Geo. Babcock, Morton Kamen, Lee McManus, Mark Miller, and Robert VanCitters.
Coach Jack Austin, who was a former cage star at Emporia State, has a very fine rebounding outfit in his KU. ASTP's. In practice against the varsity last night in which both teams took the ball on offense for 10 plays and then switched, the soldiers controlled a majority of the rebounds.
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Today would be a good time to give our prognostication as to how we think the Big Six teams will find themselves sixty days from now when the conference race comes to a close. The Jayhawks, whom Dr. Allen thinks to be no better than third place or less, will in our mind start off with a decisive victory over Missouri. Then the Kansans will look great in trimming Nebraska and Kansas State, but when the Oklahoma Sooners come up here Jan. 21 with blood in their eye, the crimson and blue will snag a snag and go down in defeat by a small margin. However, when the two teams meet in Norman, Feb. 12, Coach Allen will pull something out of the bag and the Sooners will look like just another team in losing to Kansas. Iowa State will defeat both Kansas and Oklahoma on their home court, but will lose to the same two teams away from home. Thus, as these three teams will have no difficulty at all in beating Nebraska, Missouri, and K-State (who will finish in second division in just that order), the conference race will end in a three-way tie. And since play-offs have been discarded in favor of the plan by which the team with the greatest margin between points scored and opponents points is declared champion, who will it be? Kansas, of course$^4$
V-12's Win 50 to 38 Over Ship's Company, Irish Nose Out S.O.W.
V-12 continued their rapid pace last night in downing the Ship's company, 50 to 38 in the second night's play of the newly-organized Lawrence basketball league. In the other game of the evening, the Irish Rascals, a civilian team, nosed out the SOW Techs, 28 to 27 in a slow but even game that was decided by an overtime period.
Of the fifteen players used in the V-12 lineup, Williams, with speed too great for the heavier men of Ship's Company, captured scoring honors with 8 points. Pyle, with 7,
and Lutz, with 6, continued their net swishing to increase the victory. Chief Hantze, with 15 points, and Ens. H. L. Ware, with 8, kept the Ship's Company out of the lower

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, JANUARY 10. 1944
41ST YEAR
NUMBER 68
Condemn Land To Make Way For Buildings
With 7570,000 pouring in yearly to the state treasury for construction of buildings at state schools as the result of the special tax levy, plans are being rushed for the new buildings one or more of which will be built here after the war.
With this procedure in view, the Board of Regents has authorized condemnation of an eight and one-half acre tract of land which will be added to the University property. The University Endowment Association will provide funds to buy the land which is on the southern edge of the campus, extending from the alley west of Alabama street east to Indiana and south to 16th street.
Lease Gas and Oil Land
The Board also authorized the leasing from Kansas State College of 160 acres of Rawlins county land for oil and gas development. C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said the University had been paying rent on the land for a number of years. It was used in connection with the riding academy, and at present the University has some nursery stock on the land.
Lester McCoy of Garden City was elected chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents and Hubert Brighton of Longton was re-appointed secretary. Since the resignation several months ago of Fred C. Harris of Ottawa, Mr. McCoy has served as chairman.
Architect Prepares Plans
The school heads and the board of regents have been asked to designate the greatest needs so that the architect can develop the completed plans and specifications for each institution and have them ready.
Roy A. Stookey, state architect, is at work on preliminary plans for new buildings at each of the state educational institutions. The special tax levy of a quarter mill is raising about $750,000 a year for buildings at the state schools. This money will be available whenever the Legislature authorizes construction at any institution.
Nation Will Hear Report to Congress
Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt will not deliver his annual message in person to Congress tomorrow but will read the report to the nation over a combined radio network from 9 to 9:30 tomorrow night.
Rear Admiral Ross T. McIntyre, the President's physician, directed him not to attempt to make the address in person. The physician feels that Mr. Roosevelt has not recovered sufficiently from his attack of influenza.
President Roosevelt directed the Secretaries of War and Navy today to forbid any member of congress to serve in the armed forces. The President said that such service while persons are members of the Senate or House is unconstitutional.
Will Sneak at Southwestern
Prof. J. W. Ashton of the English department, will speak on "Aspects of the Russian Novel" at Southwestern College in Winfield tomorrow.
Books-for-Prisoners Campaign Starts .
Thousands of books are being requested by the World Student Service Fund committee of the YWCA in their drive which begins today. Books will be collected from all the houses, and a box is in the rotunda of Frank Strong for the convenience of students.
These books will be sent to students all over the world and to allied prisoners-of-war. Any kind of modern college or preparatory text books on any subject professional texts, and language books are in demand. Books in foreign languages are also needed, campaign workers explained.
Student Draft Curb Uncertain
The University of Kansas has received no word of the draft deferment curb to be placed on youths from 18 to 21, Laurence Woodruff, registrar, and in charge of student deferments, said today.
Referring to the announcement of Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective service director, that student deferments would be sharply curtailed by the order which will make 115,000 more non-fathers eligible for service. Mr. Woodruff said, "We know nothing except what we read in the papers."
Gen. Hershey stated that "competent" students in a college approved by the War Manpower Commission, may be deferred if they will be graduated by July 1, and are studying in these fields:
Aeronautical engineering, agricultural sciences, automotive engineering, bacteriology, chemical engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, electrical engineering, forestry, geophysics, marine engineering, mathematics, mechanical engineering, meteorology, mining and metallurgical engineering, naval architecture, optometry, petroleum engineering pharmacy, physics, astronomy, radic engineering and sanitary engineering.
The deferments for students graduating after July 1, according to General Hershey, will be limited to those majoring in chemistry, engineering, geology, geo-physics, or physics, and only 10,000 may be deferred. This quota will be apportioned among the colleges by the WMC, which will notify the schools by Feb. 15.
Orchestra Broadcasts Tonight Over KFKU
The University Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Russell L. Wiley, will be presented at 9:30 o'clock this evening on KFKU's "Exploring Your University" program. The orchestra will play "Overture to Die Miestersinger" (Wagner) and two movements, Prelude and Adagio, from "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra" (Max Bruch).
Railroad Hearing Held Over
Washington, (INS) — A special wage-board postponed hearing today in the non-operating railroad brotherhood dispute until Thursday at the request of the unions. The delay was taken because of the absence of Donald R. Richberg, chief counsel for the brotherhood.
Campus Speech Tryout Deadline On January 26
Tryouts for the Campus Problem speaking contest sponsored by the department of speech and drama, will be held at 7:30 Wednesday evening, Jan. 26, in the Little Theater of Green hall.
Students wishing to enter the try-outs have been advised to see Miss Margaret Anderson at the speech room, office 5 in Green hall. All names must be handed in by Tuesday, Jan. 25. Miss Anderson said.
The final contest will be held in the Little Theater at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening, Feb. 2, with the traditional silver loving cup as an award to the high ranking speaker.
As formerly, this contest is open to every student enrolled in the University. The subject must be some campus problem. It may be a distinctly local problem or it may be one which is being faced or will be faced on all university and college campuses.
Speeches for the tryouts will be four minutes in length. Faculty members in the department of speech and drama will act as judges and will select the eight students who will speak in the final contest on Feb. 2. Judges for the final contest will not be members of the speech department.
This contest was instituted I with the purpose of providing valuable experience in platform speaking for University students. The subject matter was limited to campus problems because students are interested in school affairs and are likely to be properly informed.

Adolf Hitler's frenzied attempt to liquidate his ill-starred adventure by withdrawing German forces as intact as possible from the eastern front went forward without let-up today and hard-driving Soviet troops pounded into Sarny, key railway point 38 miles inside the old Polish border.
London heard reports that Hitler had ordered evacuation not only of territory in Soviet Russia but of the Baltic states and even Scandanavia. It is believed he is staking everything on the forthcoming campaign in the west in one desperate hope of attaining victory there and then throwing all of the resources of the Reich back against the Russians.
While this greatest retreat in the history of military aggression proceeded, Nazi propagandists filled the air with warning that all is in readiness for Allied invasion of western Europe.

Proficiency Exam To Be on Saturday
The third proficiency examination for juniors and seniors in the College will be held at 8:30 Saturday morning, Jan. 15, Prof. John B. Virtue announced today. Students intending to take the examination should register in the College office in Frank Strong hall today, tomorrow, or Wednesday. The place will be designated at that time.
All students in the College must have 24 hours of credit after passing the examination, which is required for graduation.
The examination will consist of writing short essays in a time limit of three hours. No questions will be asked about grammatical constructions, but it will be a test of the student's practical skill.
Sixty V-12 Students Take Examination To Transfer Into V-5
Approximately 60 V-12 students took the examination last weekend in an effort to transfer to V-5 for training as naval aviation cadets.
Here to examine the students Friday and Saturday were Lt. Com. James F. Bowman, flight examiner and senior medical officer of the Office of Naval Officer Procurement in Kansas City, Mo.; Lt. Millard P. Jones of the Hutchinson Naval Air station; and Lt. Theodore M. O-Leary, publicity director for the Kansas office.
A certain number of men who took the examination will be placed in V-5 some time after March 1. However, they must have completed one year in V-12 before entering V-5.
After receiving 16 to 18 months of naval training, they will be commissioned as ensigns in the Naval reserve or as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps reserve. The men who are selected will be sent, for the first part of their training to a flight preparation school at William Jewell College, Liberty, Mo., or to Cornell College at Mt. Vernon, Iowa. The second part of the training is called War Training Service and is the same as the V-5 training program at this University.
CVC Plans Parties, 'Hill' News Letter
The Coed Volunteer Corps decided at a meeting last Thursday to sponsor a series of informal Sunday afternoon parties for servicemen, Betty Jo O'Neal, major, has announced. As yet, no committee has been appointed.
Virginia Brehm and Margaret Kreider were appointed to head a committee to investigate the possibility of preparing a "news letter" to be sent to persons who have left the campus and gone into the service since the war began.
Changes in governmental regulations for the CVC are being considered and will be released next Thursday. Miss O'Neal said.
Betty Leibbrand, Joan Burch, and Mary Louise Rowsey gave committee reports.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott was recently elected a director of the Citizens bank of Abilene, of which his father, M. H. M. Malott, is president.
Concert Pianist To Give Recital Thursday Night
Artur Rubenstein, considered by many the top concert pianist before the public today, will give his first recital at the University, Thursday evening. His concert will be one of the most brilliant exhibitions of piano playing ever given at the University, Dean D. M. Swarthout predicts.
Rubenstein, one of the great international figures in music, is currently engaged in his sixth consecutive national tour. When he gave his first New York recital of the season at Carnegie hall in November, every inch of standing room was toben. The hall was completely sold out weeks in advance. A second performance has been scheduled to take care of hundreds who were not able to gain admission to the first concert.
Appeared in America in 1906
The "piantic bombshell" as Rubenstein has sometimes been called, was born in Looz, Poland, and was only eight years old when Joseph Joachim, the great German virologist and pedagogus, assumed responsibility for the boy's future. By the time Rubenstein was fifteen his reputation had spread over most of Europe. He made his American debut in 1906
The young musician won wide acclaim on his arrival when it was revealed that to allay fears of passengers on the storm-tossed ship, La Touraine, he had played continuously for 12 hours. Since that time, Rubenstein has traveled over a half million miles to give concerts in every part of the world. The sales of his records in the last year alone have exceeded $250,000.
Entitled 'Most Exciting Pianist'
Since his return to the United States in 1937 Rubenstein has earned the title of "the most exciting pianist of our times". He has been ranked as one of the half dozen greatest living performers.
Those who do not have activity tickets for the concert may obtain tickets at the School of Fine Arts office.
Mixers Replace Teas For Campus Women
A series of mixers for all University women beginning Jan. 13 to be similar to the former WSAGtaas have been planned by the social committee of the Women's Executive Council, according to Patricia Scherrer, member of the committee. The mixers will be from 3 to 5 in the afternoon.
Virginia Rader, College junior, is chairman of the committee which includes Miss Scherer and Mary Olive Marshall, College junior.
Memorial Services Held For Prof. M. W. Sterling
Memorial services for Prof. Miles Wilson Sterling, who was an instructor at the University from 1883 until recent years, were at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the chapel of the Plymouth Congregational church. Professor Sterling died Dec. 17.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
THE K Will Service Men Fighting Overseas Be Able to Vote?
Today Congress convenes. Among the many problems facing this body is a bill before the House which is of vital interest to the majority of students at the University. This bill is the one concerning absentee voting for men in the armed services overseas.
The Green-Lucas bill for federal administration of a simplified ballot system as a workable method of permitting soldiers to vote in 1944 was defeated in the Senate, and an emasculated proposal was substituted, providing for state supervision of absentee voting. Inasmuch as the states either prohibit absentee votes from overseas or require for absentee balloting a procedure too cumbersome for service men to follow, the Senate bill is a worthless gesture.
Now the House committee on elections has before it a bill similar to the Lucas-Green proposal introduced by its chairman, Representative Worley of Texas. Unless there is widespread protest, we will find ourselves in a rather strange situation for a country "fighting for democracy."
This is a clear-cut issue, and one should guard against those persons trying to confuse it with the question of states' rights. The issue concerns whether or not the men who are risking and giving their lives in defense of their country shall have a voice in the conduct of its affairs.
Who, if not we who remain on the campus, should act to give our soldiers a voice in the conduct of democracy? Could there be a more fitting way of repaying in some small measure the debt we owe them? They fight to preserve democracy. Are we not derelict if we fail to fight for their right to a voice in the democracy they are saving?
Letters to the Editor
The following letters are edited because of lack of space in the Daily Kansan but contain the salient points. Both letters refer to an Associated Press dispatch in the Journal-World, which reported the abolishing of compulsory physical education for men at Iowa State College, and the substitution of a voluntary program.
Student Antagonism Present I was wondering if our own university could not profit by the adoption of a similar program. The investigation of the number of cuts and student antagonism in the present system would show what the present system is accomplishing. Would not a progressive attitude toward this situation now add to our whole physical education program in the future?-CB.
Students Carry Heavy Schedules
The whole tempo of the times is changed. Everything is on a stepped-up schedule. Many of us are carrying 19, 20, and 21 hours a semester in order to graduate. Now on top of all this, we are compelled to carry an additional load of physical conditioning. This program is not voluntary, it is compulsory. If we miss class six times without a valid excuse, we may be expelled from the University. We don't just flunk the course, we may be expelled from school. The University seems to be more intent on developing brawn than brain.
The argument has been used that the men in the service are required to take physical conditioning, so why should not the men in school be required to do likewise? Men in train-
Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
After several skillful telings this is the way the latest Engle story goes. Clinence, a Beta, called up Virginia Schasfer, Pi Phi (whom he defended in her much publicized difficulty with the Student Court) and asked for a date. Said the business-like Engle, "Just tell me where you'd like to go, Virginia, and I'll meet you there."
Double-dribbble: The great seriousness of the man-shortage hit Bob Stevens squarely between the eyes, when the Carruth informal dinnerance was only an hour under way. Bob left his date to learn by long distance from Kansas City that his out-of-state passion was on her way to Lawrence and the party. It was a

Washington, (INS)—The White House announced today that Harry Hopkins, close friend and adviser to President Roosevelt, is confined to the Washington Naval Hospital with an attack of influenza. It was reported that Mr. Hopkins was running a temperature and might have to remain in the hospital for some time.
Seal Drive Ends With $362 Total
With contributions from 24 organized houses, independent students, and service men, the student tuberculosis fund stood at $362.02 when the Christmas seal drive officially closed Friday noon, Jan. 7. Miss Joie Stapleton, chairman of the student drive, said contributions this year exceeded those of last year by almost $100.
Hopkins Ill With Influenza
Houses which contributed to the drive are Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma Kappa, Corbin hall, Miller hall, Ricker hall, Watkins hall, Jolliffe hall, Foster hall, Cutler house, Kaw Coettes, Jap Coeds, Westminster hall, Beta Tetra Pi, Phi Gamma Delta, Battenfeld hall, and Sigma Chi.
We sincerely hope that the University will carefully consider the action taken by Iowa State College and determine the reason, if any, why a similar program of enjoyable physical education without the compulsory aspect can not be worked out here.—R.L.G.
tight spot, but Bob was calm. Six months on the Hill as an available civilian had developed his acumen—as was proved by the fact that only an hour later his first girl was at home in bed and the Carruth strategy was back at the party dancing with the Kansas City development.
Wafresses in the Union sensed the first stages of delirium tremins coming on as they watched Vance Reynolds and two friends from PT7 go down the chow line refusing everything but 14 slices of bread. With great ceremony, the fellows took the bread over to a corner where they sat down around a huge box (from Vance's mother) and "rolled their own."

Engineering Graduate Publicized in Article
Wesley Brune, a graduate in civil engineering is featured as the personality of the month in the January number of the shop publication of the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company's shipbuilding plant at Evansville, Ind.
Engineering has taken him from Chili in South America to Vancouver, British Columbia, and to many places in the United States. He has been a bridge contractor at Kansas, a draftsman at Puget Sound, and a bridge engineer with the state highway commission of Kansas. Today he holds an important position in the Evansville plant.
The write-up, accompanied by a picture, states "His home is Lawrence, Kam," and he is vitally interested in a 400-acre farm out that way."

Ministerial Alliance Demands KC Cleanup
Kansas City, Kan.. (INS) - The K.C. Kansas Ministerial Alliance demanded a thorough cleanup of gambling and vice in the city and Wyandotte county. A committee was named to lay the demands before Gov. Andrew Schoeppel and other state officials.
The action followed the slaying Thursday of Benny Portman, notorious Kansas City, Mo., gambler on the Kansas side of the state line. The Rev. Roy M. Brady, Alliance president, declared "There has been a lot of crookedness going on and this time we are going to get to the bottom of it." "We're mad," he added, "and this time we are going to stay mad until the situation is cleaned up."

Kansas Loses Big Six Opener To M.U., 35-28
Missouri's rebounding edge was just too much and the Tigers defeated Kansas at Columbia last Saturday night, 35 to 28, in the Big Six opener for both teams.
It was considered a surprise victory that the underdog Tigers would topple the defending champion Jayhawks. However, there was no reason for such an opinion. Kansas recently defeated M.U. at Kansas City by the same margin, 34 to 28, trailing 7 to 18 at the half.
Columbia Court Different
It has always been difficult for opposing teams to accustom themselves to the court at Columbia which is set out from the bleachers and is slightly raised. Last year's undefeated champion Jayhawks had to go an overtime before defeating the Missourians on the Tiger boards.
The Tigers, who had set the pace through most of the first half, shook out of a 14 to 14 intermission deadlock, and after a hectic nip-and-tuck ten minutes to start the second stanza, went on to win by a fairly comfortable margin.
Charles Moffett led the scoring or the game, making seven points in each half for a 14-point total. Moffett hit four of five free tosses and counted five field goals, four of which were from out. Kansas' other 4 points were scored by Corder with four, McSpadden five, Barington two, Lindquist two, and Stucker one. Palmer, who started at guard, Diehl, Malott, and Sherwood also saw service.

The Jayhawks, who Dr. Allen recently termed as "the poorest rebounding team he ever coached," could not control the boards and consequently did not have possession of the ball nearly as much as the Tigers. Kansas, scoring the lowest total points in Big Six play in recent seasons, also shot comparatively few times.
Dr. Allen stated that Moffett and McSpadden were the only Kansans that seemed to have much fight, and especially the latter. Barrington, who was bothered by a cold last week, didn't begin to approach his IC form and Lindquist again fouled out of the game.
Tissouri Captain High Scorer
For Missouri, Paul Collins, Tiger captain and guard, was high scorer with ten points. Dan Pippen, 17-year-old, was KU's greatest nemesis as he continually pulled the ball down off the board. Arbeitman scored five, C. Minx seven, Pippin seven, Heinzohn three, and B. Minx three, to add to Collin's total.
Lead Change Often
Collins and Moffett traded free throws to start the second half, and then, after five minutes of play, Kansas went ahead for the first

From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Despite the fact Dr. F, C. Allen stated that he wouldn't be surprised if the Jayhawks were defeated Saturday night, the A.P. lists the Missouri victory such an upset that their performance even overshadows Oklahoma's route of Kansas State, 61 to 28, at Norman and Iowa State's handy 56 to 34 triumph over Nebraska at Lincoln. Big Six followers are reported to be recovering from the shock of this great "upset" which terminated the Jayhawks' string of consecutive conference triumphs at 12.
Dr. Allen had stated that his cagers had been playing hot and cold all season because of lack of experienced players and that Missouri was especially tough on their home court. He also had brought up the fact that the Tigers outfought Kansas in the first half at Kansas City. So he certainly prepared himself for the "shock."

Allen's remarks with which we didn't agree were those to the effect that 'not many people will take a wartime championship seriously, stating that at Kansas athletics are incidental to the war effort." No one will disagree that sports aren't incidental to the war effort, but we still don't see why the championship team will "not be given" its just and due credit the same as teams any year. Of course if Iowa State wins the title, Coach Menzel will be credited, but not as much as in normal times for he has such an advantage over his conference rivals with three lettermen back and all-American Price Brookfield thrown in to boot. Allen, who states
time with Sparkle McSpadden's free throw. Clifford Minx quickly put the Tigers in front with a field goal then, and in the next fifty seconds the lead changed hands four times, with the Tigers finally emerging with a 21 to 20 lead on Clifford Minx's fast break for two points. From there the Tigers went on to win. Moffett's three baskets and one by McSpadden fell short of the furious scoring burst which Collins and Pippin uncorked for the Tigers. The Bengals scored a stalling game to the last, putting the pressure on the Kanssens until the final gun.
Ping-Pong Starts Today in Union
The Union activities committee ping-pong tournament will begin today, Jane Woestemeyer, chairman of the intramurals committee, announced. Only singles will be played, and participants will be notified by telephone the first of the week who their opponents are.
Couples are then to sign, with the hostess in the Union building, the time of the game. Following the match, they will report the score and the winner to her. The winner will be high-scorer in two out of three games.
All games must be played off by Thursday.

that a substitute in ordinary years could be a star this year, is aware of a situation quite different from normal times. Usually he can count on a whole flock of freshmen, drilled in his fundamentals, joining the varsity squad, but this year everybody had to start from scratch. True, Allen had only one veteran, Sparky McSpadden, back, but what about Oklahoma, with only one letterman, Allie Paine. Oklahoma did import a couple of good boys from Indiana and drew a hot shot, Ramsey, in the V-12 from Oregon State. Kansas can counter with such men as Barrington, Lindquist, and Moffett. Missouri lost their one veteran, Ed Matheny, to the army during the holidays and Nebraska has only one man, Berry, that they can call a veteran. Surely Coach Edwards of Missouri is being given credit for outfoxing the cagey Allen as both teams have about equal material, the home court being about the only difference. So we don't see why any Big Six team and coach — save Menze's Iowa Staters—will not be taken seriously if they emerge champions. In fact, because of the war, there was less prosylating this year in the Big Six than anytime in the last several years.
Kansas will journey to Olathe tomorrow night to take on the Naval Station Clippers. They will resume conference play here Saturday when they entertain the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

KUAST's Beat K-State Army
The reporter of the Oklahoma-
Kansas State game Saturday night
must have been a devotee of Walt
Whitman, a fanatic for description,
a bird lover, or something. Here's
what we mean (concerning the basket shooting of Pryor, sensational Sooner frost): "He hit five field goals, three of them long set shots that dropped out of the sky and into the basket like a duck settling into her nest in a marsh."
The Kansas AST unit basketeers can now claim some sort of title by virtue of their 48 to 28 victory over the AST's from Kansas State in Hoch auditorium Saturday night. The soldiers from Manhattan had been calling themselves "the best soldier team in Kansas" with three victories over the Fort Riley Centuars.
Leading the way for K-State was Vaughn with 13 points and Wierda with eight.
The men from Lindley hall as usual had their use forward, Ted Bean, leading the way. Bean was closely guarded and was fouled frequently. Consequently he dropped in 10 free throws, which must be some sort of a record. Bean also counted seven field goals to give him a 24 point total.Evans scored seven, Collins six, Rumple three, and Van Citters two for Kansas.

Malott Approves Building Plans In Annual Report
An addition to the library, a new shop building, and the remodeling of Fowler shops for the journalism department, were listed in the Chancellor's annual report to the governor and Board of Regents, Dec. 1, as the most pressing building needs of the campus. The eight and one-half acre tract of land which has been condemned by the Board of Regents for University building will be put to use immediately after the war on one of these projects.
Other plans which were in progress before the war were an expansion of the Union building, a new men's residence hall, and an additional dormitory on Corbin hall. The plans for the men's residence hall were completed and bids made for contractors, but the war prevented its construction because of lack of needed materials.
In his annual report, Chancellor Malott also listed a new surgery unit, a pathology and pharmacology building, a Union building, and an addition to the Nurses' home as the first building needs of the Kansas City campus.

All Students May Compete For Drama Parts Tomorrow
Tryouts for "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the next play production of the Dramatic Workshop, will be held from 3:30 to 5:30 tomorrow afternoon in the Little Theater of Green hall, Prof. Allen Crafton announced today. The tryouts are open to all University students.
London, (INS)—While Soviet forces drove steadily into pre-war Polish territory and pounded toward the Rumanian frontier, the Polish cabinet in exile met to consider Stalin's proposal to reconstitute Poland at the expense of Germany instead of herself.
Poland Ponders Reds' Proposal
Stalin told the Poles his object was to retain White Russia and the western Ukraine within the borders of the Soviet Union. When hostilities have ended, the Russian plan would set Poland's eastern frontier over roughly to the Curzon line of 1941, from Grodno south to Lublin and the Carpathians.
There was no immediate Polish reaction to the scheme.
'Old Grad Was Wicked Sophomore
Students at the University today can rejoice over the fact that they were not "lowly" freshmen when J. Melvin Evans, a graduate in 1917, was a member of the sophomore class.
In a letter written to the alumni office, he enclosed a copy of the "Sixteen Statutes" for freshmen, which he, and others of his class printed under guard and published in 1914.
Entitled the "Laws of the Mighty Sophomores," they included such rules as "Ye soft-headed striplings, curse not the College; exasperate not the Engineers, loaf not near the Laws; meddle not with the Medicies; provoke not the Pharmics; and above all, fuss not the Fine Arts," and "Forget not your sacred duty to your Alma Mater, turn out—for the affection of Michael, turn out—you are worthless now but there is hope."
While pasting these intimidating ultimatums around the campus, they were caught in the act, and subjected to a fitting punishment. The "mighty sophomores" were put on a freight

71 Appear on Army Honor Roll; Pvt. John Leach Leads With 6 A's
Fifty-one ASTP trainees and 20 reserve trainees earned places on the Army honor roll, Lt. Col. W. L.
Jungle Life Interesting, Says Major Flint,'37
"Managing one of those balloons is worse than taking care of a baby," said Maj. George M. Flint, son of Prof. and Mrs. L. N. Flint who, with his wife, is visiting his parents while en route to Camp Cooke, Calif., from the Panama Canal Zone.
Major Flint is executive officer of the 301 barrage balloon battalion which was the first of its kind to be organized in the United States. In December, 1941, the battalion was sent to a camp in Panama that is in the midst of a jungle. In these new surroundings the newcomers found many interesting things.
Jungle Noise Is Loud
Jungle Noise Is Loud
"The first thing a stranger notices," said Major Flint, "is the noise of the jungle—it's so loud that you can't sleep for the first few nights, but you soon become accustomed to it.
"The division is thoroughly trained in jungle warfare," he declared, "and in this training the greatest problem is taking care of oneself, but when this is accomplished, one can live quite comfortably. There is even a water vine which after being cut a certain way, supplies us with perfectly good drinking water."
"For anyone interested in outdoor life," he continued, "this work is perfect because you can see anything in a day—even the prehistoric three-toed sloth."
See Unusual Things
But there were things which, according to Major Flint, one gets
tired of. He included the Spanish language, rain, mud, and storms, in this category.
Major Flint was graduated from the School of Business in 1937, and at that time received his commission as a second lieutenant from ROTC. He was a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity, president of Delta Sigma Phi, honorary business fraternity, and editor of the business school newspaper.
Of his experience in Panama, Major Flint said, "I enjoyed it, but I'm happy to be back and hope to be in the states for quite some time." Graduated in 1937
Catch Bat With Balloons
"Since we didn't have any trouble with the enemy," he exclaimed, "the only thing we caught with our barrage balloons was a bat. However, these balloons are quite effective in England where the enemy planes come often," he said.
Major Flint declared that working with barrage ballons and the highly developed training which it involves makes it a very interesting field.
Major Flint and his wife left this morning for California, where he will be stationed.
"Storms play havoc with the balloons," he declared. "They get vicious in the wind, cables break, and then sometimes the balloons catch fire. When this happens," he added, "we have to watch out for diving balloons."
McMorris, commanding officer,

FDR's 5-Point Program to Congress Asks Service Law to Stop Strikes United Civilian Effort to Win War
Washington, (INS)—President Roosevelt highlighted his third wartime annual message to Congress today with a request for enactment of a national service law to prevent strikes and bring every available adult in the nation into the final drive to win the war.
Mr. Roosevelt proposed a five-point domestic program, cov-
Rubinstein Was Child Prodigy
Artur Rubinstein, world famous concert pianist, who will play here Thursday evening in the second of the University Concert Series, was a child prodigy of exceptional ability. D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts said.
Joachim sent Rubinstein to visit Paderewski, who was so enchanted with the youth's ability that he prevailed on him to stay several months longer.
Appeared in USA First in 1906
At the age of three he displayed musical talent. When Rubinstein was six years old, he gave a concert for charity in Warsaw. He was taken to Berlin shortly afterward to study with the great teacher, Heinrich Barth. The amazing child was also placed with Max Bruch and Robert Kahn for instruction in composition and harmony. At eleven he made his formal debut in Berlin, playing a Mozart concerto with the great Joachim, his musical godfather, conducting the orchestra.
The pianist made his first appearance in America in 1906 as solist with the Philadelphia orchestra. A few days later he made his New York debut in Carnegie hall. During this tour Rubinstein appeared in 75

The President touched briefly on international affairs. He denied entering any secret committment at Teheran or Cairo that would cast the United States into the "role of Santa Claus." He said bluntly, "there were no secret treaties or political or financial commitments."
war contracts, food subsidies, price stabilization, and the national service law. Of the latter he said, "It is my conviction that the American people will welcome this win-the-war measure which is based on the eternally just principle of fair-to-one, fair-to-all."
Favors Votes for Soldiers
On the home front, Mr. Roosevelt called also for passage of a federal soldiers' voting bill. He demanded unity by all to win the war. Leek of unity, he warned, "can kill American boys". He denounced the "pests who swarm through the lobies of Congress and the cocktail bars of Washington, representing special groups as opposed to the basic interests of the nation as a whole."
Looking to the future, the President urged a plan for "lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known." He proposed a "second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all regardless of station, race or creed."
Teachers Are Needed Throughout the State
With the recent announcement of the appointment of Harold Phillips, M.M.E. in 1941, as instrumental director at Holdredge, Neb., by the Teachers Appointment bureau, Prof. H. E. Chandler, secretary of the bureau, revealed a desperate need of teachers throughout the state at present.
"In almost all high school fields there will continue to be vacancies," said Professor Chandler, "but there is a constant demand in the fields of mathematics, science, commerce, music, and English."
With only one known student in education and possibly three or four others graduating in March, there are practically no candidates available to fill this demand. Primarily the small high schools are now being affected by this shortage of teachers, but they pay almost as good a salary as the larger schools and usually require no experience. Even a war industry job affords no better pay than a beginning teaching position in some high school, with the lowest starting incomes ranging from $1500 to $1600.
The present demand for high school teachers has been created mainly by the military program. The reclassification of men has taken from teaching programs those who were formerly rejected because of slight physical disabilities. These men are usually not being taken into the army to participate in regular combat but to release another man from a desk job for combat duties.
War industry is not affecting the demand so much now in this immediate area as it did in the earlier part of the war. There are many marriages of the women teachers but married women are being retained in teaching positions now more than ever before.
According to Professor Chandler, this situation is not one that will end immediately but will continue for some time. People who plan to go into teaching in the next two or three years will have no need to worry about finding jobs. Teachers are needed now, and more will be needed in the future.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Nice Girls Just Don't Go?
A great many young women who go to the University still seem to think that nice girls just don't go to the USO dances. Somehow, somewhere they got the idea that, although many go, it still wouldn't be quite proper to give one night once in a while at the Community Service building. Even though some of their friends go, they still seem hesitant about making that first trip and finding out for themselves.
On the contrary, very nice girls attend the dances. They all have cards that make them eligible to go. No girl can just decide to go to the dance—without credentials. University women who belong to sororites go. University women who are independent goes. Others who are interested may attend.
The whole difficulty is that these dubious young women are ignorant of the circumstances. They don't really know what a USO dance is like. They have the impression that only "droops" go to the dances. They may think that girls go just to get dates. They feel that they might not have a good time. Or they may have the belief that the dances are wild and rowdy. No matter what excuse they offer on spot questioning, they stick to one main reason—nice girls just don't go.
Naturally there are 'all types of men at the dance—men who were farmers, ranchers, filling station attendants, business men, or students in universities all over the country —now in the military training programs. Quiet ones, talkative ones, thin ones and fat ones, homely ones and handsome ones are there because they want to relax for a while. They haven't any place else they would like to go. They want to dance and talk. They are lonesome. For a little while they want a different companionship from what they are used to day in and day out.
Of course, many dates are made at the dance, but primarily the men go to spend a pleasant evening; and the girls go because they may feel that it is their patriotic duty or because the ones they wish were near are perhaps attending a USO dance in some other part of the country as a substitute for loneliness.
Everyone is well-mannered and courteous. There is no rowdyism, no wildness at all. The service men who want to go out and have a high time don't go to the USO. During the intermission couples can find cookies and cokes at the refreshment counters.
The whole dance is carried on quietly and with as much reserve as any dance in any organized house on the campus. But the USO dances are bigger than the other dances the nice girl might attend. They are pleasant get-togethers where the American service men can find fun and companionship while spending several hours away from their military atmosphere. The nice girls are responsible for their success.-W.T.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
They'd seen the arrow: During the course of the pledge class party Saturday night, two ASTP's walked into the Pi Phi house, marched back to the sunroom and turned around to retrace their steps. Meeting Pat Penny in the living room one said, "I beg your pardon, lady, but is this the way to town?"
V-5 boys may be interested in knowing—if they already don't—that the masked females who serenaded them recently were Elsie Thompson, Jess Roy, and Margie Johnson, of Corbin. The serenade was a small leap year experiment.
Wishful thinking: At a party Saturday night near Topeka some of the Betas got the orchestra leader to dedicate a number to Brother Bill Mowery and Joyce Shook, Theta, "in honor of their engagement." When the announcement was made, Bill and Joyce, who are quite un-
Consequently when friends danced past to congratulate him, Mowery laughed and said, "well, you know we EMOCs have pieces dedicated to us like this rather often" and thanked everybody and was very happy.
Bill finally caught on to the farce when the Betas went so far as to pass cigars for him at dinner Sunday.
Letters to the Editor
The creep hanging on the door of the Teke house is for Doc, cocker spaniel, who died Monday morning. According to Jimmy Prector and Jason Dixon who attended him in his last hours. Doc had distemper. The Tekes have accepted the diagnosis but they are still wondering whether their mascot died in spite of or because of the two medical dignitaries.
Through the years a custom has grown up of writing letters to editors of newspapers. This tradition is in keeping with the ideal of America's four freedoms which include freedom of the press.
Recent generations, however, have neglected this privilege much as they have that of voting. Their general attitude seems to be—either "Oh, my one little individual vote (or letter) isn't enough to count. It really won't make any difference whether I express my opinion or not," or else that they are "just so busy we just don't have time to run over to the polls (or write an article). Let someone else who doesn't have so many matters to attend to, do it."
* *
If any progress is to be made people must overcome this "don't care" attitude. Parents and teachers should encourage any efforts children make to express themselves as these youngsters will soon be the ones to have the deciding voice in the governing of their country.
Newspapers daily provide a means of conveying praise or disapproval of measures both local and national, as well as international, on which the populace has the final say-so.
Such indifference, which public-spirited leaders find their greatest obstacle to combat, is one of the nation's most imminent dangers. When citizens do not take enough interest in their country's well-being either audibly to object to or approve of the various programs and plans tried out, the fifth columnists can find fertile grounds in which to plant their seeds of dissatisfaction and disunity.
Therefore, editors encourage their readers to write letters for publishing, on any subject in which they are interested. Many reforms have come from such suggestions.-J.F.

Ship's Company at the University of Indiana were surprised recently when they were given orders to "abandon ship." The heating unit of the Beta house, where they are quartered, had been "sabotaged," and the fire had gone out.
Negotiations recently have been completed by the University of Utah and the United States Veterans' Administration on the contract that calls for a rehabilitation training program for disabled veterans of the war. Only students who have college standing will be accepted at Utah for training.
Gramicidin, a new drug competing in its dramatic cure with penicillin, recently has been announced by the University of California Medical School. The drug, cheaply and easily produced from soil bacteria, owes its healing power to the same general principle as penicillin. It is said to be 1,000 times as active in germ killing as the sulfonamide drugs.

RUBINSTEIN---concerns in three months. Returning to Paris he devoted several years to incessant study and, quoting his own words, "to hurdling the greatest obstacle in the path of prodigy, that of shedding immaturity."
A witness of the havoc caused by Germany among non-combatants in Paris, Artur Rubinstein vowed never to play in Germany again. Though innumerable invitations came from that country over a period of twenty-five years, he has kept his oath. Since the fall of Poland, Mr. Rubinstein has been working ceaselessly to restore his homeland's independence.
Before the outbreak of the first world war Rubinstein made a concert tour of all the major cities on the continent, winding up in London just as the war began. Although he wanted to join the Polish legion, his knowledge of languages (he speaks eight fluently) made him more valuable at headquarters as an interpreter. Later he undertook to play for the Allies a series of thirty joint concerts with the celebrated violinist, Eugene Ysaye.
Vows Not to Play in Germany
Rubinstein has not played any concerts in this country since 1927.

Jayhawks Play Olathe Tonight In Return Game
The Kansas Jayhawks are planning on doing something about the Olathe NAS Clippers' string of eight consecutive victories when the two teams meet in a return game at Olathe tonight. One of those eight triumphs was a 42 to 36 decision over Kansas here a few weeks ago.
Dr. Allen will take his entire squad of 16 in private cars, leaving at 3:30 this afternoon. Clippers Have One Loss
Clippers Have One Loss
The Clippers have lost only one game this season and that was their opener against Ft. Leavenworth, which they dropped by a narrow margin. Last night they took their eighth win by defeating the Tepeka Army Air Base team, 48 to 33. The soldiers, who have not played many games this season, trailed 6 to 26 at the half but narrowed the gap in the final stanza.
The game should be a real battle as the two teams are evenly matched. Kansas recently defeated Pittsburgh 35 to 21, and the Clippers defeated the Gorillas the next night, 47 to 38. The sailors defeated Rockhurst last week, 59 to 27, more than Kansas did in two meetings with the Hawks, who, however, had lost their star center. Draney, when they tackled the Clippers.
Olathe Team Has Many Stars
Stars of the Olathe team are Herald, River Falls Teachers College, Minn.); Self, Baker U.; Jurkovic, Ohio State; Covert, Howey, and Coach Marty Peters, former All-American at Notre Dame.
In the previous contest here Hertel and Self led the scoring against the Jayhawks with 9 points apiece. Coach Peters, despite his age and weight, could still get around and was also good for six points against Kansas.
Against Topeka AAB last night, Howley led the scoring with 15 points. No one player has been the consistent high scorer for the Clippers, as the top point makers have been first one player and then another.
Belgian Will Address Groups on War Relief
Madame Barzin, Belgian political writer and lecturer, will speak on belgian relief at a coffee given by the YWCA from 4:30 to 5:30 Friday at Henley house. She will talk again at 1 o'clock Saturday at a uncheen meeting of the American Association of University Women, at the Hearth, to which interested persons are being invited.
She was educated in both Belgium and England, and was graduated from the City of London College. She was the first woman graduate from the Brussels Academy of Journalism.
Madame Barzin, who has served as Brussels correspondent for Time, Life, Fortune, and Newsweek magazines, escaped from Belgium a few days after the second invasion of her country. She has her own shortwave broadcast to Belgium four times a week.
Making a midwestern lecture tour under the auspices of the Belgian Information Center of New York City, Madame Barzin is being sponsored in Kansas by Business and Professional Women's clubs in Lawrence, Topeka, Kansas City, Kan, Emporia, Junction City, and Wichita.

From the Sidelines
6y Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
we have a release on our desk which tells of the "dream team" of cage stars at the Army Air Forces Training Command radio school at Scoot Field, Ill.
On the team is none other than our own Ralph Miller, rather Pvt. Miller, who was a star here 1940-42 and was twice on the All-Big Six team and won All-American mention in his senior year when he captured the Big Six scoring title. Miller hails from Chanute. Others on the teams are Owens, (Southwestern, Okla.), Biery, (Penn State), Pagliaroli, (Providence), and Burden, (Western Kentucky).

Javhawks Will Fight 'Em
Followers should see a different brand of basketball here Saturday night against Nebraska in the first Big Six home game. Dr. Allen declares he will either put a team on the floor that will battle them all the way or find one that will. He was quite disgusted with the recent lack of spirit on the part of the team in general in losing their opening conference game to Missouri.
13 Is Unlucky
* *
There must really be something to this "unlucky 13" business. It was stepping stone number 13 on which the Jayhawks stumbled when they dropped their first conference game since February, 1942, last Saturday to Missouri. Kansas had run up a string of 12 consecutive conference victories.
* *
The K-State school paper recently spoke of "Admiral Allen and his KU Navy" when reporting the recent game at KC. There are also some civilians on the team. In fact such civies as Lindquist, Moffett, Stucker, Corder, and Dick probably could even take Silo Tech for a cleaning without needing the men in blue to come to the rescue.
--in a B League game, SAE had everything their way, and galloped to a 45 to 22 victory over Sigma Nu. Gage led the parade with 15 points.
Because Dick Hartzell, V-12, and this writer are the only men on the Kansan staff, Hartzell was delegated to write the community league basketball story, for this editor was to play on one of the teams and would not have liked the perplexing situation of writing about himself. Hartzell, too, played and was forced to include his name, as he was one of the high scorers on the V-12 team.
H.S. Welch, Grad. of 1913 Gyroscope Sales Manager
Howard S. Welch of New York, a graduate in 1913, has been appointed export sales manager for the Sperry Gyroscope company.
Since then, he has been vice president and general manager of the Bendix Aviation Export corporation, and manager of export sales and president of the Studebaker-Pierce Arrow corporation.
During World War I, Welch served as an officer with the staff of Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, chief of air service, 1st Army, A. E. F.
Under the auspices of the National Foreign Trade council, he wrote and produced a motion picture film in 1936 on international two-way trade.
First rounds of the women's intramural ping-pong tournament sponsored by Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, were played Saturday in Robinson gymnasium. The second round was played yesterday, with the tournament expected to last another month.

Miller, Watkins Win Basketball Games
Two close games were played last night in the women's basketball tournament. Miller hall defeated the Alpha Delta Pi's by a score of 20 to 17.
Watkins hall was the first team to beat Corbin hall this season. The score was 16 to 14.
The decision of the student court last Thursday declaring Virginia Schafer, College senior, ineligible to serve as a justice on the court and also to serve as a member of the All-Student Council, will be discussed at a meeting of the ASC tonight, according to Thornton McClanahan, members of the Council. The Council will also release the names of class officers.
ASC Will Discuss Schaefer Ineligibility
In the case of Miss Schaefer, Herbert Peterson, second year law, said that Article 6 Section III of the government constitution states, "No justice shall be a member of the council." The court holds that Miss Schaefer should sever all connections with the Council.
Billy Stanton Completes Basic Cadet Training
Cadet Billy D. Stanton, Lawrence a former student in the University and member of Sigma Nu fraternity has completed the basic flying training course at Marama army air field at Tuscon, Ariz.
He will be sent from there to advanced flying school for the last phase of his cadet training.
Electrician's Mates Have New Warrant Officer
Chief warrant officer J. H. Malloy, USN (Ret.) has reported to the commanding officer of the Naval Training School from his former duties at Brainbridge, Md., Chief yeoman G.O. Starkey announced today.
Mr. Malloy, the first officer to be added to the ship's company in connection with the Electrician's Mate School, will instruct in the school.
SAE, Phi Psi Win Openers
Men's intramural basketball got under way last night with SAE and Phi Psi winning over Sigma Nu and DTD.
The A League contest between Phi Psi and DTD was a "dog fight" all the way with many fouls being called. The Phi Psi trailed three points at the half, but they took a lead midway in the final half and went on to win, 28 to 24. Pyle, Phi Psi, was high scorer for the games with 14 points, six of them free toes. Bock and Hall were high for the losers with 10 and 6, respectively.
Tonight, the two residence halls, Battenfeld and Carruth, will fight it out in a B League game, while the Blanks and Triangle will clash in an A League contest.
Ingham Attends Conference On Fire School Instruction
H. G. Ingham, director of the University Extension Division, left yesterday for Memphis, Tenn., where he will attend a conference of fire department instructors. Mr. Ingham is attending the three day conference which opened this morning as a member of the Fire School Committee of the Kansas State Fireman's Association. He will return to his office Friday.
The conference, held annually, will deal with improved methods of instruction in firemanship for members of city fire departments.
In the past, instruction schools for Kansas firemen have been held frequently in Lawrence through the extension division of the University, with Mr. Ingham as director, responsible for their organization.

Germans Boast Of U.S. Losses In Air Struggle
(International News Service)
Nazi Germany had a field day today in claiming enormous losses dealt out to the eighth United States Army Air Force in the greatest air battle of the war over the Reich yesterday.
The eighth Air Force Command delayed its own details of the record-breaking combat, which occurred when a huge formation of American planes, estimated to include 700 four-motored bombers, attacked a still undesignated target in northwestern Germany.
The Nazi's claimed that 136 of our planes were demolished and that about 100 American planes were compelled to jettison their bombs in the frontier areas. The Germans conceded that two Nazi fighter planes were lost while the crews of seven other planes are missing.
Bombers Pound Athens Port
The Mediterranean High Command meanwhile announced a devastating blow against the port of Athens. Heavy American bombers hattered the city and its harbor installations by daylight, and a few hours later Royal Air Force Wellintons went over to finish the job.
Allied planes also were active over the Italian front, where American and British troops of the fifth army slashed through rain-swollen creeks and over muddy terrain to oust the Germans from strategic high ground on the road guarding Rome.
Vatutin Reaches Bug River
General Vatutin's first Ukrainian army was reported to have reached the Bug river in the Ukraine, while other units surrounded the rail junction of Sarny, deep inside old Poland. A new Soviet offensive carried the Russians toward the railway intersection of Sheptoza.
Anna Bines Speaks On Meat Points
Tokyo reported a heavy Allied air raid on both ends of the island of Formosa, presumably from bases in China, while the Allied Pacific Command disclosed a blistering new raid on the New Britain base of Rabaul, in which 16 Japanese planes were shot down and two warships and 15 barges set on fire.
Miss Anna Bines, home economist with the National Livestock and Meat board located in Chicago, gave a talk on "Meat Extenders and the Use of Low Point Meats", to the home economics department and all students interested this afternoon at 1:30.
An expert on how homemakers can stretch meat points, Miss Bines is a graduate of the University of Illinois, and was formerly connected with the extension service in Illinois.
The National Livestock and Meat board is an educational and research organization representing all branches of the livestock industry.
Fire in Green Causes Slight Damage
Three fire trucks, the fire chief, and the police chief all arrived at Green hall last night to investigate the cause of smoke filtering up from the basement. While a crowd of some 50 to 75 onlookers assembled firemen searched the basement and found that some papers had caught fire in the men's lavatory.
The fire chief described the damage as very slight.
Four Victory Speakers Will Address Co-ops At Meeting Thursday
Four Victory Speakers will give talks at the meeting of the Co-op club at seven o'clock Thursday evening in the Colonial tea room. Those who will speak, and their topics are: Richard Stutz, "German Airpower"; Paul Fairechild, "Tanks in Modern Warfare"; Robert Stockton, "Trades in the Navy"; and Beverly Presley, "Lend-Lease and How it Works."
The Victory Speakers are a group of University students organized by Prof. E. C. Buehler, of the speech department, for the purpose of bringing to the public pertinent information pertaining to the war effort. The plan, according to Professor Buehler, is to discuss some phase of the war or post war plans. It is not a debate, said Professor Buehler; the students merely present the information.
Others Have Been Chosen
Others on the team are Leeta Marks, "Nurses' Aid," Elizabeth Baker, "Medicine in Modern War;" Williaim Hough, "Mythology in World War II—the Gremlins;" Howard Sutherland, "Music in the Camps;" and Kathleen Jones, topic not selected. The group plans to present 25 or 30 programs in the next two months.
This program was organized in the fall of 1942 and is intended only for the duration, according to Professor Buchler. In groups of three or four, the students travel over Kansas and Missouri, giving their speeches. Last year they presented 66 programs and talked to eleven thousand people.
Among the cities in which the groups spoke last year are: Belleville, Concordia, Marysville, Sabethan, Chanute, Humbolt, Iola, Kansas City, Kansas City, Mo., Topeka, Ottawa, Baldwin, Eudora, and Bonner Springs. A faculty member accompanies the team and acts as chairman of the group.
Visited Many Cities Last Year
Aviation Cadet Deane Warren Kiefer, of Lawrence, a student in 1942-43, has reported to the Coffeyville army air field for his basic flight training.
"The programs were enthusiastically received last year," commented Professor Buehler. "I received many letters from superintendents of the various schools and they were generous in their praise. I hope we can have as good a program this year."
Kiefer Reports to Coffeyville
Rubinstein Lists Selections for Concert Here
With his program already chosen,
Artur Rubinstein, world - f am e d pianist was prepared today to make
his first appearance on a Lawrence
platform in Hoch auditorium at 8:20
tomorrow evening.
As guest soloist with the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra, he scored a great success at Kansas City, Mo., last night. His performance of the celebrated Tschakowsky piano concerto was enthusiastically received.
The "Sonata, Op. 57 in F Minor" by Beethoven will be the Rubinstein's opening number on the program tomorrow night. The "Intermezzo in C Major" and the "Rhapsody in B Minor" by Brahms will follow. Three numbers by Chopin, "Ballads in A Flat," "Nocture," and "Scherzo in C Sharp Minor," will complete the last offerings in the first group.
The painist will open the second group with Debusy's "Prelude" and "Ondine." He will play "Kujawiak" (Karol Rathaus), dedicated to the memory of Paderewski. Rubinstein will include in his program Shostakovich's "Polka" and "La Maja Y El Ruisenor" (Grandos). The musician will close his concert with "Triana" by Albeniz.
Rubinstein will leave immediately afterward for St. Louis, where he will appear as soloist with the St. Louis Symphony orchestra.
Dr. E. H. Taylor Takes Wartime Position In Washington, D.C.
Dr. Edward H. Taylor, professor of zoology, will leave this evening for Washington, D.C., to take over a wartime position, the nature of which he cannot reveal. Dr. Taylor, who began teaching at the University in 1927, has been granted a leave of absence for the duration, and plans to return after the war. His classes will be taken over by other members of the staff of the department of zoology.
Dr. Taylor will leave his famous reptile collection here at the University, where it is kept in Snow hall. This collection of over 30,000 specimens is one of the most complete collections of types of reptiles to be found in the United States. Dr. Taylor has many rare specimens which cannot be found in museums, making his collection extremely valuable. Chiefly a foreign collection, it includes reptiles from South Asia, the Philippines, South Pacific islands, where he spent 12 years, and Mexico, where he has spent his summers exploring for the past 16 years.
Dr. Taylor hopes to continue adding to the collection when he returns to the University after the war is concluded.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Does One Attitude Type a Person?
Why are personalities so much a part of what they believe? Why do we pigeon-hole the people we know as socialistic, democratic, or pious, and let it go at that? Can one word describe a person's attitude? If you do not agree with someone's attitude, must you necessarily be against everything he says or does?
For a possible theme for Religious Week, to be observed next month, it was suggested at a meeting here that servicemen, especially those stationed overseas, have a growing indifference to organized religion. Somebody remembered reading or hearing that opinion expressed in various ways recently. Some servicemen have written their religious experiences, some ministers have sensed the trend from the church to a more personalized religious feeling, and some laymen who have visited combat areas have remarked about it.
The article in last week's Time was mentioned, and suddenly the trend of the argument changed. A leader in the group had heard the name of Dr. Poling, and that was the end of that. She didn't care to hear any more about it.
Because Dr. Poling has stood for the principle of popularizing the church to suit the people, not even any facts he discovered on his tours of the world's battlefronts held any weight with her. His opinions had not been mentioned until she spoke up. The mere possibility of discussing the servicemen's problem had been considered, but because of prejudice against the man, his facts were thought useless.
Who could know more about the servicemen overseas than one who had lived with them, talked to them, and comforted them, Dr. Poling had quoted actual comments from the men themselves. Would he, the president of the World's Christian Endeavor Union, have any reason to misrepresent the situation? Could not his discoveries be accepted as near the truth, at least?
The group leader must have thought something like this: Dr. Poling believes in popularizing the church, I do not believe in it, therefore I do not believe anything Dr. Poling says. She was making his one attitude stand for all of them.
Too many people indulge in shallow thinking of this sort. This attitude was immortalized in a jingle written long ago:
I do not like thee, Dr. Fell.
The reason why I cannot tell,
But this I know, and know full
...
I do not like the, Dr. Fell.
She had no reason to dislike Dr. Poling. She had never met him, yet his name alone could make her shut her mind to further statement. Prejudice? Stubbornness? Narrow-mindedness? All these names would fit, but shallow thinking is the real trouble—R.T.

Rock Chalk Talk

Reviving Lazonga: If Val Ashby, Battenfeld, Lewis Goyette, 1129 Louisiana, and an ASTP who operates incognito, could only get together, the world might at last know what it is about Marg Geiger, Jolliffe, that prostrates most members of the stronger sex. On three successive nights these men escorted Marge; and during the evening each made a crash landing on the ice which decapacitated his dignity, etcerta for the rest of the week.
The Hill is not to be surprised when thirty some Theta actives, looking more or less as if a high pressure Fuller brush man had been camping on their door step for a week, appear some morning in neatly tied black and gold checkered shoe laces. These oddities were discovered in a down town store by Theta freshmen Elaine Wells and Frances Lawrence, who marveling that shoe laces should be in the Theta colors, bought up the entire supply. Now,

(Here follows a description of Mr. Peterson's petition in which he contests the constitutionality of Bill 11 and Miss Schaefer's elegibility to set on the council, which is omitted.)
Mr. Clarence Engle appeared before the court on behalf of Miss Schaefer in answer to the charges of Mr. Peterson presented the following arguments: I. That the Student Court has no power to decide the pending question or jurisdiction over the case, II. That the student court sitting alone does not have original jurisdiction in cases involving interpretation of legislation, III. That Miss Schaefer is not a member of the Student Council within the meaning of Article VI, Section 3. We shall consider these contentions in the order named.
It is Mr. Engle's plea that by virtue of the constitution, the circumstances surrounding the acceptance of the constitution, and the intention of the members of the Student Council, the student court may not declare bills of the Student Council unconstitutional and that therefore, the said Bill 11 must be upheld as a proper exercise of authority by the Council.
Mr. Engle alludes in particular to Section 4 of the judiciary Article which states in general terms the scope of the jurisdiction of the student court: "The Student Court sitting with the faculty advisory committee shall have final decision in all matters of interpretation of legislation of the all Student Council. The Student Court sitting alone shall have jurisdiction over all other
Scurlock Writes Court Decision
The decision of the student court in reference to the elegibility of Virginia Schaefer has been recorded by John Scurlock, second year law student.
with that persistence found only in freshmen, they are selling them at a profit to their actives.
We, the present justices, are the first court appointed under the new Constitution. By virtue of the issue before us, the resolution of the respective take powers of the Student Council and of the student court in regard to the constitution and the legislation enacted thereunder is imperative. Whatever course is chosen, this decision, by the nature of its scope, will bind all future courts existing under this constitution.
The Red Cross should try it: Machinist's Mates who have been sticking their heads in the bacteriology lab and offering Florence Harris and Kathryn Pees blood for their experiments will do well to give Snow hall a wide berth in the future. The girls think they are becoming devitalized on account of using so much of their own blood, and have made elaborate plans to surprise the next sailor who offers his corpuscles, knock him over the head with a baseball bat, and drag him on in.

Review of 'Huckleberry Finn To Be Given Over KFKU
Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," one of the most widely read books of American literature, will be discussed on KFKU's "Living Books" program at 9:30 o'clock this evening. Participants in the discussion will be John B. Virtue, department of English; Henry Werner, adviser of Men; and Allen Crafton, department of speech and drama.
It is his explanation of the first clause that the committee in charge of drawing the constitution wished to deprive the student court of the power to declare acts of the Council void by emphasizing herein the Court's single paramount power, the authority to interpret legislation of the Student Council, in contradistinction to the ordinary powers of the court; that this clause considered in the complete absence of any statement in the Constitution in regard to the questioned authority of the Court necessarily implies that the student court does not have the authority to invalidate this bill or any other bill of the Student Council. Stated more concisely, Mr. Engle presents that the said clause is to be construed as a limitation upon the powers of the court.

Aeronautical Engineers Hope for New Building
A dream that the University of Kansas may someday become the center of Aeronautical Engineering has been realized on blueprints. But whether that dream will materialize after the war is over will depend upon financial support and administration approval, said Dean J. O. Jones, head of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
The aeronautical building of tomorrow, for which plans have already been drawn up, would be located on the southern edge of the campus, behind Marvin hall. The approximate cost would be $200,000. It would take up about 150 feet of ground in each direction, although the total floor space would be considerably smaller than this. Would Have Airplanes, Shore
The building would be large enough to house three airplanes, class rooms, a draft room, a shop for tearing down and assembling motors, eight test cells, and a wind tunnel for the measuring of temperature, pressure, and humidity. Not only aeronautical, but also physiology and medical students would be able to use the wind tunnel for experiments.
New Land Would Suffice
ASC MAKES----
Also under consideration by the School of Engineering and Architecture is the construction of new shops south of the new Mineral Resources building, and the renovation of the Fowler shops to accommodate the journalism department, which would also cost around two hundred thousand dollars. There are also plans fro an addition to the library. These three were listed as pressing building needs by Chancellor Deane W. Malotl in his annual report to the Governor and the Board or Regents last month. New Leland Would Suffice.
The eight and one-half tract of land south of the campus which has been condemned by the Board of Regents for University use, would provide the site for one or more of the proposed post-war constructions.

Jayhawks Lose To Olathe Gobs 49-25 at Base
The veteran Olathe NAS Clippers were just too much for Kansas' unpredictable Jayhawks last night at Olathe, winning 49 to 25 for their ninth consecutive victory.
It was the worst defeat suffered by Kansas this season, although the Jayhawks have won 10 of 15 games played this season.
Self, Clipper forward who formerly played with Baker and various independent teams, chalked up 12 points in the first 11 minutes, missing only two of his unguardable, two-hand, overhead, jump bots. The Clipper hot shot his seven field goals for the evening, all in the first half, to share scoring honors with Jayhawks Bill Lindquist who racked up six field goals and two free throws.
Clippers Take Early Lead
The Clippers started off to an early lead and led 23 to 11 at the half. It was never a contest as the experienced sailors controlled the rebounds, were hot on their shots, and had the youthful collegians exeed. Besides Self, scorers for Ol' the were Howey with five, Jurkowie with two, Brown with two, Coert, giant center, with nine Thompson with two, Herkal with nine, Toevs with two, and Thomas with four.
Stupid fundamental basketball" was Phog Allen's description of his sam's performance. He added that he team had no complaints; that hey lost to a superior team, and hat Kansas expected to do a lot better against Nebraska here Saturday night in the first Big Six home tame of the season.
Even Veterans Miss Shots
Besides Lindquist, only Moffett and Corder could hit from the field and they only scored five and four points respectively. Barrington added two free throws.
There seemed to be a lid on the goal whenever Kansas shot. Sparky McSpadden, usually a dependable point maker, never even hit the cooring column, missing numerous loose-in shots. Barrington had two off of the rim. Lindquist, although the only Kansan who could hit, basketed several from far out, but yet missed a couple lay ups. Moffett, who scored half the points at Missouri, had a cold night, in fact, the whole team hit a blizzard, but it was not the shooting but rather the poor headwork and poor fundamentals with which Coach Allen was particularly peeved. Twelve players saw action for Kansas. They were Barrington, Turner, Corder, Lindluist, Frank, Malott, Moffett, McSpadden, Stucker Diehl, Palmer, and Dick.

C. E. (K.C.State) McBride said he was "stepping in where a smarter guy might fear to tread" in his "Sporting Comment" column last night in which he counters Phog Allen by picking Oklahoma, rather than Allen's choice of Iowa State, to lead the Big Six Basketball parade. McBride states that Allen has the annual habit of putting the team he fears most "on the spot" while assigning his Jayhawks a lower berth, usually third behind Iowa State and Oklahoma, perennial top berth teams. Yet, McBride says that Big Six history will show that Phog's boys have fronted the cage procession more than all the other teams combined. He is so imbued with "what has gone before," that he is not too sure the Allen miracle might not happen again. But on comparative scores, which mean nothing (as he states) he goes on to show why he selects the Sooners over the Cyclones, leaving Kansas third.
***
We were let down!
***
Optimistic before the M.U. game, we were inclined to believe K.U. would again be up there fighting them at the top. But if the Tiger game darkened our cloud, the Olathe encounter last night put us clear down and out, and we now agree (literally) to Allen's recent statement that the Jayhawks will have to fight to place fourth or possibly third.
Super-Pessimism
Even more down in the mouth is Harry (Journal-World) Morrow who sat by me at the game last night. Morrow would favor Nebraska; would hate to even think what I. State and Oklahoma will do to K.U., and remarked that even the Aggies (K-State) will win over the Jayhawks. Well, we have a little more confidence in K. U.
Lt. Raber Recovers From Battle Wounds
Lieutenant Raber, who was awarded the Purple Heart, spent seven months in a hospital. He is now at a headquarters base as a censor.
First Lt. Lewis W. Raber, formerly of Lawrence and a student in 1936, has recovered from wounds received last January in the battle of Buna on New Guinea.
Des Moines, Iowa, (INS)—Secretary David Dancer of the Iowa Board of Education said today the board planned to begin liquidating some of its endowment farms. The University of Iowa owns 2,077 acres and Iowa State College 2,201 acres, much of it acquired by foreclosure.
After his graduation from Fort Benning infantry school, he spent three months at Camp Roberts before being sent to Australia.

S.O.W. Teams to Play Hill Quints Tonight
In the second game of the evening, the Machinist's Mates, although as yet untried in league play, are expected to have no trouble with the S.O.W. Techs, who looked rather weak in their victory over the Irish Rascals Thursday night.
Prof. E. C. Buehler of the speech department gave a talk at 12 noon today at the Lion's club in Kansas City, Mo., at the Phillips hotel. His subject was, "I Like America." He returned to the University this afternoon.

Crippling Blow Dealt Germany Officials Say
(International News Service)
A thorough summation of the large-scale operation deep into the heart of the Reich showed that a crippling blow was dealt the German air arm at a cost to the American that officials said was extremely low considering the results achieved.
At the same time, reports from Southeast Europe indicated that the dual carrial assault on the Bulgarian capital of Sofia by U. S. daylight raiders and British night bombers was the greatest air blow ever dealt the Nazi-dominated Balkans. On the land front, columns of the Red army surged westward through pre-war Poland on the heels of Nazi hordes put to flight in a series of grueling offensives through lower White Russia.
In Italy the Allied fifth army continued its march on Rome after custing the Germans from the mountain bastion of Cevaro and fanned out in separation for a seige of Cassino gateway to the Italian capital.
General MacArthur announced a new forceful assault by heavy bombers on the Jap-held New Guinea bases of Madang and Alexishafen. He disclosed that American marines frustrated a Japanese attempt to reinforce their troops in the Cape Gloucester area of New Britain.
Details of the aerial action over Germany revealed the German aircraft plants at Halberstadt, Oschsleben, and Brunswick where German planes are produced were virtually destroyed. Latest estimate put at 120 the number of Nazi interceptor planes knocked from the skies in the fierce aerial duels. Observers predicted that the bombardment has halted fighter plane production at the three big German plants for months to come.

Maj. George B. Smith
As Harriet Witmer, junior in Fine Arts, put it, "The glamour of a uniform doesn't appeal to me. I think I would be helping the war effort just as much by filling a civilian job."
Smith Is Major; In Western Area
Major Smith, advised Lawrence friends that he has been given a leave and will be in Lawrence for several days beginning Jan. 22. He will speak at the Rotary Club luncheon on Monday, Jan. 24.
George Baxter Smith, on leave from the University as dean of the School of Education and Director of Summer Sessions, was promoted to the rank of major, CAC, Jan. 3. He is assistant G-3 of the communications zone of the California-Arizona maneuver area.
After completing the General Staff course at the Command and General Staff School at Ft. Leavenworth, Major Smith was assigned to the ASTP-ROTC program at the University of Kansas. He joined the general staff of the communications zone on September 1, 1943.
KU Coeds Are Satisfied With Life as Civilians
None would consider joining the service before finishing school, and a large proportion were convinced that the war would be over before they were graduated, thus obviating any necessity for joining. Many believed that they could be of more service in civilian positions than in the armed services.
The women's auxiliary forces do not rank high in the opinion of a majority of University women polled recently by members of the Daily Kansan staff. They were asked to answer the question: "Do you want to join one of the women's auxiliary forces either now or after graduation?"
The prevailing opinion was that the women's auxiliaries were all right for those who wanted to join, but that finishing school and going into civilian positions was the better idea for University women.
Among those with more concrete reasons for not joining were Charlotte Price, College sophomore, who is planning to be a laboratory technician, and Fersis Snook, College junior, who is a bacteriology major.
Joan Burch, College sophomore, said, "I'm just a little bit selfish. After I finish my education, I have a few plans of my own and they do not include the women's auxiliary forces."
Another, swayed by the consideration of a uniform, was Mary Margaret Gaynor, College sophomore, who answered, "No, I like civilian clothes better!"
Different was Mary Louise Rowey's objection: "We're going to have enough post-war problems as it is. A Guadalcanal sergeant doesn't want to return to a dictatorial lieutenant wife lacking femininity."
There Were Obvious Reasons
Lists Kept Of Alumni In Service
Then there was Betty Lou Cave's weight reason for not joining an auxiliary. "Are you kidding?" she asked. "I only weigh 85 pounds!"
(continued to page three)
Keeping records of more than six thousand graduates and former students of the University who are now in the armed services is the gigantic task of the Alumni Association, in coordination with its work to further the war effort.
The U.S. Navy has used repeatedly specially prepared lists of Kansas alumni for soliciting officer material. Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, is a civilian representative of the Navy on officer procurement. The army has had the cooperation of the alumni records in finding all trained geologists now in the service.
Many other cases of placing alumni in positions for which they are especially fitted have resulted from the alumni office systems of records and relationships.
Through its publications, its Jaya-hawker trustees, and its local alumni meetings, the association gets across directly to the proper persons an appreciation of the University's wartime program.
The need for leadership on the campus and off, under war conditions, and the need for keeping up interest in the durable values of the University, is even greater than ever. The Alumni Association does this through the student and alumni county clubs and local clubs, through the use of movies, literature, talks and dramatized programs.
Casualties Total 105,229 In December, 1943
Washington, (INS) — Secretary of War Stimson disclosed that American casualties in all theathers in December, '43, totaled 105,229. The break-down included 16,831 killed, and 24,667 missing.
WEC Arranges Mixer For Hill Women
Those on the program include Betty Jo Everly and Elizabeth Smith, vocalists; Yvonne Alston, pianist; and Jeanne Richardson, who will present a dance. Chairman in charge is Peggy Schell.
The Women's Executive Committee will have a mixer in the Union building from 3 to 5 p.m. Jan. 19. The mixer is being given by Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Omicron Pi, and Jollife hall.
Washington, (INS) — The nation's railroad workers joined labor's fight against national service legislation today, charging President Roosevelt with confirming the death of the New Deal by asking congress to "conscript workers for private profit."
All Hill women are invited to attend.
Railroaders Join Fight Against Service Laws
Another labor spokesman predicted congressional rejection of a compulsory labor draft. The position of the big rail brotherhood was officially made known in their weekly publication, "Labor." Julius G. Luhrsen, executive secretary of the labor executives association, asserted that compulsory legislation has not been necessary so far to force men and women to do everything possible to win the war.

Dr. Hibbard to Speak On Fossil Collection
An illustrated lecture on the technique and problems of collecting fossils in Kansas by Claude W. Hibbard, curator of vertebrate paleontology of Dyche museum, will be given at 3:30 Sunday afternoon in the Little theater in Green hall.
Dr. Hibbard will discuss the two main questions that people usually ask about collecting fossils. "How do you know where to look for them?" and "How do you collect them after you find them?" Each quarry is a problem in itself, he explained. There are no deposits in which exactly the same methods of collecting fossils can be used.
A series of slides showing techniques and methods used in more than 13 field expeditions will be a part of the lecture. The fossils that have been collected are from deposits laid down in Kansas from 10,000 to 25,000 years ago.
Dr. Hibbard made his first field trip as a member of a University expedition in 1928. From 1931 to 1933 he was in charge of field work as a student. Since 1936 he has been in charge of the University field expeditions.
This lecture is the last in a series of three sponsored by Dyche museum with the desire to give students and the public a further understanding of the exhibits in the museum.
FDR to 'Take It Easy'
Washington, (INS) — The White House announced today that President Roosevelt plans to "take it easy for a few days now that his annual messages have gone to Congress.
when good pianists are turned out almost in mass production."
Concerning Rubinstein, now current comment that "Artur Rubin-cert tour, the Seattle Times made a rently on his sixth consecutive constine's innals should be TNT, for the Polish pianist is nothing less than a musical bombshell that explodes sparks all over the place and fires the emotions of his listeners into a demonstrative conflagration."
Rubinstein was born in Lodz, Poland. At an early age he displayed remarkable talent. When he was 8 years old, responsibility for his future was assumed by Joseph Joachim, the great German violist. By the time he was 15, Rubinstein's reputation was widespread over Europe. He has made innumerable tours in South America, Cuba, Mexico, and Australia, besides his many appearances in Europe.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
WAC Needs Women Trained in Colleges
Members of the WAC are beginning now to talk to small groups of women on the campus. They are explaining the WAC and the opportunities in that organization. Although the majority of women students here are too young to join the WAC, it is wise to consider the variety of educational opportunities and essential jobs offered.
The feeling that it is a disgrace or degrading to join the WAC is gradually being dismissed. No soldier who wants to go overseas can look down on a WAC who takes over a desk job, enabling him to go.
The possibility of drafting women came up again in President Roosevelt's message to the nation Monday night when he declared that he would present the Austin-Wadsworth bill, as revised, to Congress. WACS are needed very badly now, so that it is possible to choose the location where you would like to work. Besides receiving valuable training in the field in which you are interested, you receive a feeling of helping to win the war where you know you are needed.
All majors in college can be followed through in the WAC, and training in a particular field is possible. There are 155 jobs which WAC's are now doing. These various jobs call for trained women, and women trained in universities are especially essential.
Letters to the Editor
In answer to the letter that appeared in the Daily Kansas of Jan. 10, the author signed RLG. made a comparison that the men of the army have nothing to do but train to be in good physical condition to fight the enemy. The point that I wish to show is the fact that the men of the army on the campus are carrying 24 hours in class plus 5 hours compulsory study in the day, and 12 hours compulsory study in the evenings, plus 5 hours military science and finally 6 hours physical education.
In these times when our country is at war I think that every good citizen should try to keep in the best physical condition. I personally cannot see that anyone has room to complain.Just a private, J.LG.
Scurlock Continues Court Decision
The decision of the student court as written by John Scurlock continues as follows:
This clause read without consideration of the possible intendment of the framers means simply that when cases involving the interpretation of ambiguous legislation arise, the only court competent to ascertain the true meaning of the legislation is the combined court consisting of the student court and the faculty advisory committee. We believe this was to assist the student court with the greater wisdom and ability of the faculty advisory committee in arriving at a reasonable construction of legislation. But there is nothing here or elsewhere in the section which denies the power of the student court to declare legislation unconstitutional. Mere silence does not necessarily abrogate the authority. We might well conclude that the converted power is included "in all other cases" over which the student court is expressly given jurisdiction.
Constitutions and legislation must be construed by giving ordinary meanings and connotation to the words used therein. We have examined the aforesaid section with due care and it is our conclusion that the wording is such that an ordinary person reading that provision would not understand it as interpreted by Mr. Engle. For the proper sense of the entire section the words, "Final decision," in the first clause must be taken to mean "original or sole jurisdiction" and Mr. Engle has conceded this interpretation.
Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA HEDRICK-
Since one salt in PT-3 was not particularly versed in the arts of sewing, he sent his undress blues and white watch stripes to Lawrence church women to get the job done. *Said garments came back with the stripes sewed on the inside of the left shoulder.
章 章 章
Kenny Bellamy and Wayne Hird, Phi Pisis, watched with speculation and interest while Jeanne Atkinson, Chi Omega, ate heartily of their raion points at lunch this week. Turning the tables, they immediately called the Chi O house and invited themselves over for lunch, as guests of Beverly Bohan and Alice Rose Shankland. Laughing off their audacity as a joke, the girls settled down to eat, when in came Bellamy and Bird from the kitchen. They loaded themselves down with three lunches apiece, conversed with members of the clan, and spent a regreatful afternoon with indigestion.
It was a Volga party: Jackie Nodler and Elin Kline, Miller hall,
Mr. Engle offered to produce evidence proving the intent of the committee charged with the drawing of the constitution and of the Council in reviewing the work of the committee, but we decline to accept such evidence, because the alleged intent, even though proved, is immaterial. In legislative interpretation the intent of the legislative body is very important and must be weighed by the court, but we are here considering the meaning of a constitution and must look to the intent, not of the Student Council, but of the student body which accepted that constitution. Unless it be proved that the student voters were motivated by the same intention that the Student Council is said to have entertained, we must assume that the students who voted to accept the Constitution read section 4 to mean exactly what the words denote. This motivation not having been alleged or proven, we are constrained to hold that the student voters did not in regard to this section expect to deprive us of the power to declare acts of the Student Council invalid.

entertained with a "Russian dinner"
Sunday night. Jackie insists that the whole idea originated with her interest in a Russian language course she is taking, plus a quantity of dehydrated borsch which her sister sent her. The guests, and more particularly, the hostesses, gorged on and on into the night, never realizing the disastrous consequences which were to follow. Although borsch and bourbon are two entirely different things, the hangovers are identical. The moral of the dinner was that what the Russians have that we don't is strictly borsch.
Lamb in a wolves' den: The Phi Betes have a new mascot. A sophomore medic went down to the "doghouse" to perform a calcium experiment. Upon arriving, he found his "experiment" waiting for him in the form of an appealing 8-weeks-old collie pup. Proving that medics aren't really heartless, he pocketed the fuzz and sold him to the Phi Betes, who promise that they won't dissect the pup.
Tom Harkness Earns Army Commission
Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Harkness, Ness City, braved the discomforts of war time travel and a West Texas blizzard to see their son, Thomas Herbert Harkness, law '43, receive his wings and commission as a second lieutenant and bombardier pilot in the army air forces at graduation exercises held at Lubbock Field, Jan. 7.
It is Mr. Engle's further argument that the student court bears the same relation to the Student Council that the courts of England bear to parliament under the British constitution. In support of this argument he states that the council alone is the judge of the constitutionality of its legislation. He does not deny the right of the court to examine the constitution and to construe legislation in light thereof, but he would limit the Court's authority short of the power to invalidate legislation. This view is consistent with the theory presented, but when Mr. Engle declares the Council is more important than the constitution, he denies the responsibility of the Student Council to the students of the University and indicates a state of mind deplorable in any legislative body. The constitution was the expressed will of the student-body that student government be regularized and democratized.
The decision will be continued in tomorrow's Kansan.

Catholic Youth Organization To Give Dance saturday Night
The authorized party list shows that only one party is being given this weekend. That is the Catholic Youth Organization's dance Saturday night in the Kansas room. The I.S.A. has been advertising a dance, also for Saturday night, but so far has neglected to have it authorized.
The Doris Nieweg-Dick Channel wedding at Leavenworth Sunday saw a lot of University students present, both as members of the wedding party and as guests. Lt and Mrs. Channell were both prominent on the Hill last year.
Delta Gamma — pledge class entertained Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at an hour dance last night.
Chi Omega — Mrs. L. A. Meadows of Kansas City, Mo., was a guest yesterday.
Gamma Phi Beta — Lt. Betty Veach, WAC, was a guest at dinner yesterday. She presented movies and a short talk.
Harmon Co-op — dinner guests last night were Georgia Sheppard and Lois Leonard.
Jollife Hall — had an hour dance with PT3 last night.

KU COEDS - - interviewed who did not answer an Requivocal no to the tuestion. Of these, Annella Hammett, junior in Education, and Marilyn Sweeney, sophomore in Fine Arts, both said that if the war is still on when they are out of school, they would consider joining an auxiliary if women are needed badly enough.
Carol Stuart, College junior, said, "I would like very much to join the WAAF after I graduate because I feel that even after the war is over there will be a large field for flyers. Also, I like to be alone in the clouds."
Some Like the Uniform
Betty Ann Hopkins, College senior, said, "I hope, with a college degree, to get into OCS, where I can make more money as a technician than in ordinary hospital work. And besides, boys get all the fun. I want to wear a uniform for a while."
Another College senior considering enlistment after graduation was Caroline Baker. "I might join the Marines, WAVES, or SPARS, but never the WACS," she said. "However, my men friends all advise me not to join anything."
The Marine hospital unit is the goal of Sara Frances Wills, College sophomore, who wants to "go overseas and get some excitement. However, if I just have to sit at my desk," she added, "I'd just as soon stay a civilian."
One Already Has Enlisted
The only one who acted upon her convictions was Claudine Scott, senior in Business. At the time she was first interviewed, she was awaiting word concerning her application for teacher's training in the WAVES. Her letter of acceptance came Friday, and she will enter OCS shortly after her graduation in March.
"Why would I like to be a WAVE?" she said. "It's pretty well expressed in a cartoon I saw in a Kansas City paper: two WACS were walking down the street, and one said to the other, 'I want to tell my grandchildren that I was more than a pinup girl in the Great War'."
"The work I do in the WAVES will follow my business major and

Former Students Wed in Leavenworth
The marriage of Miss Doris Louise Nieweg, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Nieweg of Leavenworth, to Lt. Richard Wesley Channell, Coast Artillery, U.S.A., took place Sunday at St. Paul's Episcopal church in Leavenworth. The Rev. James Holmman read the vows.
Both Lt. and Mrs. Channell were students at the University from 1941 to 1943.
Mrs. Channel was a member of Quill Club and Mathematics Club. She was a member of Alpha Delta Pi. During her last semester here she took a special course in aeronautical engineering. Since then she has been employed in the Modification Center of North American Aviation in Kansas City.
Lt. Channell is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bonnie O. Channell of Kansas City. While a student here, he was on the football and basketball teams. He was a member of Delta Chi.
Lt. and Mrs. Channell left for a short wedding journey and then to Lt. Channell's station, Camp Steward, Ga.

Halifax Labels World War II
Cincinnati, (INS) — World War II was labeled a "war about education" today by Lord Halifax, British ambassador to the United States. The problem facing the Allies is to "cleanse the minds" of the Japs and the Germans of false teaching abroad, and to "improve the domestic system of education by eliminating the shortcomings revealed by the war."

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1944
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Little Rockhurst came up with a minor upset in defeating Washburn last night, 28 to 20. The Ichabods had been steadily improving since their initial encounter against Kansas in which they were soundly defeated, 46 to 24. Since then, Washburn has defeated K-State and were barely beaten out by Missouri, recent conquerors of Kansas, by a one point margin.
Another game of no little interest was the Oklahoma-Oklahoma A. & M battle last night in which the Agies came out victorious, 59 to 40. Recently in the Oklahoma City tournament, the Sooners took the championship by defeating the Norman NAS Zoomers who in turn had downed the Ibames in the seminails. Bruce Drake will now be all he stronger in his support for Phog Allen's 12-foot goal as the sevenfoot Bob Kurland played havoc with his aces, Ken Pryor and Allie Payne, by causing them to arch their shots out of his reach and their aim consequently going awry. The giant also batted several "sure goals" out of the basket. It was the highest total that the defensive-minded Agiles have scored in the Stillwater field house, with the Sooners, 40, being the highest of any losing cam. Apparently Tha' lay his men gone to play the fast breaking game of the Sooners. Another record was broken in Gallagher Hall when Juavid Floyd Burdette, who has seen out of action much of the season because of an injury, jammed in twenty-four points to lead his nates to victory over the Sooners, elected by some observers as "the emt to beat" in the Big Six. It looks like the Aggiemen are the class of the Missouri Valley" this year.
Aggies Clean Sooners!
\* \* \*
K-State Still Poor Last-half Team
The Kansas State Wildcats again made a light of it the first half Tuesday night when they trailed only 19 to 25 in their game with the Fort Riley Centaurus. However, because of their limited reserves, they wilted in the final stanza and went down in a smashing 67 to 43 defeat. The CRTC men, who didn't look particularly impressive in losing by one-point to Kansas here in December, apparently have been making a lot of improvement. Or else K-State is getting worse!
deal for Baseball
Weather Ideal for Baseball Harry E. Morrow says that with the spring semester at KU. not ending until the latter part of June, the situation appears ideal for baseball on M. Oread. In the past, with school out a month earlier, weather conditions were bad for baseball. Athletic officials have said the sport might be played this spring if suitable opponents could be found."
Yeoman Tom Lydon Transferred to V-5
Yeoman second class Thomas Lydon, one of the first three enlisted men to arrive at the University of Kansas at the start of the Naval Training School in June, 1942, has been ordered to report to the Naval Air Corps at Kansas City for V-5 training, Chief Yeoman Starkey announced today.
An average of 5,000,000 vacationists visit the 18 national forests in California each year.
Yeoman Lydon, now on leave at his home in St. Louis, Mo., arrived in Lawrence, June 18, 1942, with Chief Yeoman Starkey and Yeoman Roberts. Since that time he has been on duty in the executive office of the Machinist's Mates school, except for a brief period in the disbursing office.
Battenfeld, Beta, Sigma Uu, Sigma Chi Win Intramural Tilts
Beta, Battenfeld, Sigma Nu, and Sigma Chi were winners in Tuesday and Wednesday night intramural play. Since the Triangles, an A League team, have dropped out, the games between Triangle and the Blanks scheduled for Tuesday, and between Triangle and DTD Wednesday were not played.
In a B League game Tuesday night, Battenfeld edged out its closest rival, Carruth, 14 to 13 in a photo-finish. The game between the residence hall boys was close all the way with Battenfeld leading 10 to 8 at the half in this low score affair.
In a B League game last night the Betas showed power in downing the DU's, 33 to 7 with Mowery, Johnson, and Chase leading the way with 12, nine, and six points respectively.
Another B game saw Sigma Nu scalping Carruth 26 to 12, Stuart with nine and Hargiss with six led the Sigma Nu attack.
In the only A League game Sigma Chi won over TKE, 20 to 15. Patterson led the winners with six counters, but Crowley, a TKE, was high scorer for the game with 11 points.

Blanks, Mates Win in League
Coming back from a luke-warm first half, the Blanks defeated the S.O.W. Ads. 45-17 in Lawrence League Basketball play last night. Bob Bock, freshman from Macks-ville, led the scoring with a sizzling 18-point barrage, using a pivot shot and his height to score repeatedly in the second half. Nelson, with 12, and Smith, with 11, supplied ample support to the victory. The Blanks led, 16-14 at the half.
In the second game of the evening, the Machinist's Mates failed to show too much power in downing the S.O.W. Techs, 36-22. Kaskela, of the MM's led the scoring with 16 points, seconded by Stavors, S.O.W., with 11 points.
By virtue of their victory over the S.O.W. Ads., the Blanks now loom large in their game with V-12 tonight. The V-12's in their first night of play defeated the Ads. 34-20. Comparative scores give the Blanks a slight advantage, but the height and reserves of the V-12 will undoubtedly be a big factor in tonight's meeting.
Following the V-12-Blank meeting, the S.O.W. Ads, will oppose the Irish Rascals in what should be another "nip-and-tuck" affair.

KU Will Share In $20,000 Sale Of Watkins Land
Liquidation of an additional $20,- 000of assets in the estate of the late Elizabeth M. Watkins to be distributed to residuary beneficiaries of which the University is one, was announced yesterday by Frank R Gray, judge of the probate court
This is a part of a total of $605,-
000 left to the University which has
been used in providing Watkins
hall, Watkins Memorial hospital,
and the Chancellor's residence.
The distribution of money to residuary beneficiaries of the will was ordered last December and completed today, it was announced by the executors and trustees, Raymond F. Rice, Dick Williams, and Hugh Means.
Gave Chancellor's Residence
A chancellor's residence A bequest of real estate to KU of the Chancellor's residence, valued at $25,000 and $5,000 for improvement of the property, and a bequest of western Kansas land valued at $150,000 to the KU Endowment Association were made.
Mrs. Watkins also directed trust funds to be set up. Included in these were $250,000 for Watkins and Mifler halls and $175,000 for Watkins memorial hospital.
Part of the residuum of the estate, after the distribution of cash and real estate bequests and trust funds, is to go to Watkins hall, Miller hall, Watkins Memorial hospital and the KU Endowment Association. Residue Depends on Sales
The amount of the final distribution to the residuary beneficiaries will depend upon the liquidation receipts from Texas land owned by Mrs. Watkins and any final income from undistributed estate holdings.
This was the second partial distribution to residuary beneficiaries, and another distribution may yet be made, Raymond F. Rice, announced.
Chancellor Returns From Washington
Chancellor Deane W. Malott returned today from Washington, where he met with a small group of educators "to discuss the various possible provisions of legislation Looking toward the further education of members of the armed forces returning to peace time pursuits," he said.
The Chancellor left Saturday for Washington.
Chancellor Malott conferred with War Manpower Commission officials and expressed optimism that the new selective service regulations regarding deferments of college students from 18 to 21 years of age would not restrict deferments as much as indicated in newspaper reports earlier in teh week.
Grains' Collision Kills 12
Novice, Texas, (INS) — The reported death toll in a collision of two westbound passenger trains at the Santa Fe station in Novice stood at 12 today. At least 75 persons were reported to have suffered injuries in the wreck which occurred during a blinding snowstorm.
Washington Univ. to Have Dance The Inter-fraternity council at the University of Washington will sponsor an all-University dance, Jan. 22.
Students Must Have Tickets to See Game
University students must have their basketball tickets for the game tomorrows night with Nebraska U., E. L. Falkenstein, financial secretary of the athletic association, stated.
The tickets may be purchased for $1, plus the tax of 12 cents, he said.
Bombs Drop as French Revolt
The invasion coast of France where the Nazis have reportedly installed secret rocket guns was kept under almost continuous assault by Allied aircraft today with an official revelation that sabotage activities by French patriots have taken on proportions of a nationwide underground revolution.
The bombardment of the French coastal areas by American and other Allied planes got under way shortly after the return of speedy British mosquito bombers from a night assault on western Germany. The offensive against the French channel coast was spearheaded by high-flying B-26 Marauders of the United States eighth air force. The brunt of the attack was apparently borne by the German anti-invasion defences around the Pasida-Calis area.
The information concerning the growing sabotage in France by patriots harrassing the German conquerers was released by the French in Algiers. Supply trains and communications in general are the chief targets of the saboteurs. Headquarters of Sir Henry Wilson, new supreme commander in the Mediterranean theater, announced from Algiers that American bombers made "devastating" attacks on three German air bases near Rome yesterday.
Fowler in Repair To Accommodate Electrician's Mates
The building and grounds division of the University is making a number of changes in the Fowler shops to accommodate the electricians. Mates who are replacing the machinists' mates in the Navy program
Twice as much space will be available by removing the partition on the first floor in the east end, which will be converted into a motor repair shop. Motor repairing is the most advanced work done by the electricians' mates.
The four rooms vacated by the Military Science in Fowler shops will be broken down into two rooms which will be used for elementary and advanced wiring shops, and a tool-checking room.
Fifty-eight electricians' mates are now in the second week of their training, and new contingents will arrive every two weeks.
The offices of the Military Science in the tower of the Fowler shops will be used for blueprinting and lecture rooms. Because present wiring facilities are not sufficient, a small room in the basement will be turned into a transformer room. On the first floor, the large machines will be moved out and will be replaced by bench handwork.
By Feb. 25, the Fowler shops will

Crowd Pleased By Rubinstein's Piano Concert
Nearly 1000 persons welcomed Artur Rubinstein, concert pianist, as he appeared on the stage in Hoch auditorium last night to present a brilliant recital.
Throughout the program Rubinstein created effective moods with each number and had complete control over the audience. Rubinstein received the most enthusiastic response from the audience with the gay, modern "Polka" from the ballet "L'Age d'or" (Shostakovich), in which he displayed brilliant and incisive staccato, and with the stirring, rhythmic "Ritual Fire Dance" (De Falla), which was his last encore.
Opened With Beethoven
Rubinstein opened the concert with "Sonata, Op. 57 in F Minor (Appassionata)" by Beethoven with clear passage and trill work, good phrasing and pedaling, and exceptional embellishment. In his group of Chopin numbers—"Ballada in 4 Flat," "Nocturne," and "Scherzo in C Sharp Minor"—the pianist lived up to his reputation of singing touch and artistic temperament. The bell quality of his Scherzo was exceptional.
The popular "Valse, Op. 64, No. 2 in C Sharp Minor" (Chopin) was Rubinstein's encore after the first group.
Rubinstein played Debussy's spirited "Prelude" with perfect third finger glissandos and "Ondine" with all its imaginative and fairy-like qualities.
Played Encore with Left Hand
When Rubinstein ends his current concert season, he will make his 12th flying tour of South America.
For his first encore after the program Rubinstein with his splendid left-hand technique played the "Nocturne for the Left Hand" (Scriabin).
Dr. A. B. Leonard, assistant professor in zoology, has taken over the classes of Dr. E. H. Taylor, who left this week for Washington, D.C., to take a wartime position. Dr. Taylor has been granted a leave of absence by the University and will return to the University after the war.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Ad Astra Per Aspera
And He hath said, "In the sweat of his brow, man shall earn his bread" — a wonderful expression which, if interpreted properly, sharply delineates man's whole existence. A joyful philosophy is shown in the phrase "Ad Astra Per Aspera." Confident optimism says, "Every dark cloud has a silver lining."
The philosophy of many is that there is beauty in life and in after life which may be attained through individual and collective striving. Many look beyond difficulties and trials to see what is beautiful; they worked for it, and long for it.
A Great Redeemer saw far beyond his enormous trials into a beautiful future. He carried a cross patiently, endured endless pain and mortal wounds, that all mankind might share the felicity He was desiring for them.
Determined cruders crossed Europe and fought many great battles that they might rescue the Holy Grail from barbarians who held it.
Puritans crossed what was to them an enormous and dangerous waste of water to a strange, cold, wild new country that they might have the happy freedom to worship their God as they pleased.
Rebellious and idealistic Americans stood and marched barefoot on icy snow that cut their feet, starved fought, wept, and died to make America a great, free nation.
A President who will always be remembered with gratitude in our nation led a confused people through a period of great strife, holding them together through a powerful will and sheer determination, and finally giving his life to bring them and their descendants a step nearer to equality.
Far-seeing women marched and made demonstrations to forward a great cause. They endured criticism, contempt, and sometimes even social ostracism that their sex might no longer mark them as inferior. They fought for and earned woman suffrage.
Today, free men all over the world witness and experience incredible hardships; they fight, starve, sicken, and die that the world may be made more perfect. Always, man seeks what is better—always, he looks beyond immediate trials to see what he is struggling for.
Always, man reaches toward the stars through difficulties—F.C.A.
Book Drive Into Final Days
With only three more days to go in the World Student Service book drive, Eloise Penner, drive chairman, urges all students who have not contributed at least one book to make their donation by next Monday. Receptacles for books have been placed in Frank Strong hall and in every organized house.
No check has been made on the number of books contributed so far, said Miss Penner, however, it is evident that all students have not yet made their donations.
College text books on any subject, preparatory text books, language study books, and standard works of literature are being called for by the WSSF. The books may be in any of 10 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Serbian, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Dutch, and Spanish.
The book collection is one of the most important parts of the appeal by the WSSF, said Miss Penner. In the 1942-43 period more than six thousand text books were collected and sent to students all over the
Rock Chalk Talk
STAN HAGLER
Everybody's talking about that tone poem of Ted Lehman, entitled "The Tragedy of Binswanger Drinch." It seems that Mr. Lehman has whipped up a worthy successor to Binswanger, the leading character being one Agapantha Strangliott, the only woman tobacco auctioneer. Best lines: "... and the way in which Agapantha held a gay young blade in the stare of her left eye while her right eye who roamed amlessly about the room broke more than a few hearts that night ... her courageous little chick receded from a point into an admirable Adam's apple flanked on either side by gnarled chords." Question of the week: where does he get his inspiration?
Pity the young and good-looking teacher who had a call from one of her students. She gave him the information he desired and said, "Goodby." She then turned to a few of her friends who were present and said, "He's real cute, too." Main trouble was that she hadn't hung up the receiver.

Henry Asher Dies Of Pneumonia
Henry H, Asher, Jr., of Lawrence who received his bachelor of arts degree from the School of Medicine in 1930, died of pneumonia yesterday morning at Manistique, Mich.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Asher, 2209 Vermont street, were unaware of their son's illness until they received notice of his death yesterday noon. The father has gone to Michigan for the body. No funeral arrangements have been made.
Dr. Asher received his bachelor of science degree in 1932 and his masters degree in 1934. He was a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity, Ku Ku club, the Bacteriology Club, and Delta Sigma Rho, a debate fraternity.
He went to Michigan last August where he was director of health for three counties near Manistique. Before holding this position, he worked in the office of the state board of health in Topeka.
He was active in establishing the Douglas county health unit while a member of the Kansas board of health.
Besides his parents, Dr. Asher is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bernice Asher; two sons, Henry and Robert Alan; and one brother, Cpl. Alan Asher, Mineral Wells, Texas.

Student Justice Continues Decision
The decision of the student court continues;
If the purpose of the adoption of this constitution was, as alleged, to create a Student Council having supreme legislative authority, this constitution is ill adapted to that end. The student court and the Student Council are both created by the constitution and neither is subordinated to the other. The student court is co-ordinate to the Council, and, when in a controversy before the court, a legislative enactment conflicts with the constitution and either one or the other must fall, the court must be bound by the superior law which created it and find against the legislation. We do not hold the court to be supreme to the Council, but merely that the court must respond to the will of the student body as expressed by the constitution and disregard legislation in conflict thereto.
Reduced to its simplest terms Mr. Engle's contention is that legislation of the Council becomes part of the constitution, that is, that the Council has unlimited amending power. If this were true, why did the student body expressly reserve to itself in Article VIII the amending power? The students who accepted this constitution would be astonished to

Scuttle-Butt Has It 'Mac' Leads a Busy Life
Navy V-12 trainees who passed the Naval air corps tests Friday and Saturday have a busy future, for "busy" is the word to describe the days of the Naval air corps aviation cadets, the men dressed in green who are seen carrying the brown leather satchels on their way to Marvin hall during their three months training period at the University.
The 90 men of the University unii are living in the Triangle' and Phi Psi houses, 1116 and 1100 Indiana, although during the past nine months they have been in and out of several habitations.
Day Starts at 6:30 a.m.
Revelille, "Hit 'da deck!" in naval language, is sounded at 6 in the morning by a raucous buzzer. At 6:30 a.m., Mac—even the air corps cannot escape that obnoxious name—after making his bunk, dressing, and cleaning his room, reports for breakfast, which is served in the Phi Fsi house.
Ground school for one-half the men and flight instruction for the other half, starts at 7 a.m. Ground school classes, held in Marvin hall last till 10:30, when the cadets report to Robinson gymnasium for an hour and a half of "relaxing" physical training. At 12:30 all hands are back at the Phi Psi house for noon chow.
Have Six Subjects in Class
The afternoon schedule, which starts at 1 o'clock, is reversed. The men who had morning ground school now receive flight instruction, and the morning fliers receive ground school and the inescapable physical training.
Five different fields—communications, navigation, civil air regulations, meterology, and engine mechanics—are covered by the cadets in their class work, communications and navigation receiving the most time. The leather brief cases carried by the men are made especially for the plotting boards used by aerial navigators.
In addition to their communication

work, the men learn to identify all types of aircraft and naval vessels. A picture of each is flashed on a screen for one one-hundredth of a second, as a test. In that brief instant the cadets must recognize the make and nationality of the plane or vessel.
Solo After 10 Hours
Beach cadet spends an average of 9 minutes a day in the air at flight school, which is at the Lawrence airport. After his first 36 hours of flight, he is graduated from the light Piper Cubs, a small cabin plane, to the heavier and faster N3N, an intermediate trainer. Most of the cadets solo after 8 or 10 hours of flight.
After evening chow, at 6:30 p.m., the cadets may do whatever they please, except for the 8:00 to 9:30 study hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights or, if necessary, the extra instruction given at Marvin hall from 7:30 to 9:30 on the same evenings. Friday evening a thorough inspection of the personnel barracks is held. Like the rest of the naval trainees at the University, they have liberty nights on Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

KU-Nebraska Game Our First Home Big Six
The Kansas Jayhawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be striving for their first conference victory in Hoech auditorium at 7:30 tomorrow night in the first Big Six home game of the season. Both quintets lost their initial encounters, Kansas to Missouri, 28 to 35, and Nebraska to Iowa State, 21 to 56. It will be the second conference contest for both teams.
In the long series between the two clubs, Kansas has won 55, while dropping 29. Since the formation of the Big Six in 1929, Kansas has beaten the Cornhuskers 22 times, while losing only six. The last time the Jayhawks lost to Nebraska was in 1939 when Nebraska triumphed in their first encounter, 48 to 37, only to lose again later in the season, 49 or 46.
Ariman Is Returning Letterman
Artman Is Returning Letterman
Starting forwards for Husker
Coach "Lew" Lewandowski will probably be Alan Artman and Morris Galter. Artman is the only letterman returning to the Nebraska team this year. The rest of the fusser lineup is expected to include Don Barry, 6-foot 4-inch, 200-round center, and Earl Eager and George Lucas, guards.
In the Iowa State battle, the Cornuskers were hopelessly outclassed and trailed 11 to 46 with 12 minutes emaining of the last half, when Price Brookfield was taken out of he Cyclone lineup after racking up 8 points. In the last eight minutes Nebraska matched Iowa State with 10 points apiece, the Iowans using heir second team.
Jworak, Artman, Galter Scored
Forwards scoring for Nebraska were Dworak with one field goal, Artman with one and two, and Galter with one and one. Hollins, who was at center rather than Barry, who didn't play, scored only one field goal. The guards—Eisenhart, Rooney, Nelson, and Tangeman—ook charge of most of the scoring hores, counting 13 points between hem, with each one counting at east one goal.
The Cornhusker's civilian team should be no match for the Jayawaks. But if Kansas doesn't snap

That Lovable Story of a Boy's Devotion to His Horse With Roddy McDowall, Rita Johnson Preston Foster
Says Bruce Drake, following the Sooner's 50 to 40 loss at Stillwater Wednesday night to Oklahoma A & M. "Hank Iba has got the best basketball club this year he was ever had at Stillwater. The return to it this week of Capt. Floyd Burdette, former A.A.U. veteran, has strengthened it wonderfully. It now averages 6 feet 5 inches in height and four years of college in A.A.U. experience per man. A war time college club hasn't any business stepping out on the same court against it."
"My Friend Flicka"
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
It's a Good Thing!
From the Sidelines
Maybe it's a good thing Kansas has cancelled all athletic relations with the Ibamen. The Jayhawks have been consistently outrebounded by even comparatively little teams. Why, against the Aggies this year it is probable that the only time they would ever get their hands on the ball would be after an Aggie score. Dr. Allen stated last night that he bet Coach Drake would have welcomed the 12-foot baskets against the rangy Aggies and their giant Kurland, stating that it was Kurland who in the main threw the Sooner offence off by forcing Drake's hot shots, Paine and Pryor, to change their tactics by trying to arch their shots over his tremendous reach. Drake talks as if the old veteran, Burdette, was the biggest fly in his hair. Even with the 12-foot baskets, we believe that the height and experience advantage of A & M would prove too much for the Sooners. Although we are inclined to agree with Allen in his campaign for the raised bucket, we would like to have

out of it and if they continue and with the same type of ball they play against Missouri and Olathe, they might very well be defeated
Dr. F. C. Allen plans to use Barrington and Lindquist at forwards, Moffett at center, and Stucker and McSpadden at guards. Palmer and Diehl should see much action at guards, Corder at center, and Malott and Turner at forward, Moffett, who scored 14 points in the initial Big Six encounter, will probably be shifted to a forward.
seen the Aggies and the Sooners play under such conditions before being thoroughly convinced. We have a notion it would have made little difference in the outcome.
H. E. Morrow quotes Dr. F. C. Allen as stating that he expects a season similar to the 1929 record when he had the poorest season in his 35 years of coaching. That year K.U. was beaten by all Big Six opponents except K-State. Allen doubts if his team can win both Aggie games this year and is far from optimistic about the outcome of the Nebraska game tomorrow night.
They're Not World Beaters!
Poorest Year?
The Olathe Clippers won their 10th consecutive game, the third this week to be played at Olathe, last night when they gained revenge for their only loss this season by dropping the Ft. Leavenworth Flyers, 56 to 37. Howey padded Olathe with 22 points. The Clippers had lost to Leavenworth there in their first game of the season after only two nights practice. Yet, the Clippers aren't near the team Jack Gardner had there last year when he had such stars as Menke, Wesche, and many others. And last year's team was handed several defeats. But Kansas had a different team then, too. We rate Olathe fourth in the state behind Wichita Cossna and Boering and Hutchinson NAS. Oklahoma has three teams that could clean them—the Sooners, the Aggies, and Norman NAS.

The Blanks, struggling to offset the V-12 advantage in numbers, held the score to 29-24 until the last four minutes of play, when the navy men forged ahead, splitting the net from all angles. Nelson, coach of the Blanks, counted for 12 points with perfect long shots from near mid-court.

Wiley to Direct Coming Concert Of KU Symphony
Symphonic in content and masterful in presentation, the orchestra concert scheduled for 8 o'clock in Moeh auditorium next Monday evening promises to be one of the year's outstanding musical events performed by a University group.
Russell L. Wiley, conductor, pointed out that the program was made up entirely of symphonic works, in contrast with the light musical show or "Pops" concert to be presented by the University band Feb. 7. "There is nothing low-brow on the orchestra program," he emphasized.
The University's 70-piece orchestra is one of the few school organizations left intact and functioning. Wiley said. Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts recently returned from a Chicago meeting elated over the fact that the University has a larger orchestra than such schools as Michigan University, which has only a string ensemble.
The orchestra's violin section has been acclaimed one of the best of recent years, Wiley revealed. "We are fortunate under the war conditions to have so many fine first-air people left in college," he added.
Wiley commented that he had spent his first 20 years preparing to be an orchestra conductor and that after 10 years away from his original field, he has his first opportunity to lead an orchestra. Wiley replaces Karl Kuersteiner, on leave from the University, as orchestra conductor.

Jo Abbitt to Recruit KU Blood Donors For Red Cross Bank
Josephine Abbitt, College sophomore, has been selected to recruit blood donors among University students when the Red Cross blood donor service visits Lawrence on Feb. 3 and 4. Miss Abbitt holds the record in Douglas County for blood donations having made her sixth contribution to the bank bank in October.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, is the chairman of the blood donor committee for Douglas county.

Faculty Recital Postponed; Date to Be Announced
The faculty recital of Miss Meribah Moore, associate professor of voice in the School of Fine Arts, originally scheduled for tonight, has been postponed. The date for the recital will be announced later.
Play Canceled At Last Minute
Because of insufficient interest of the students, the production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by the Dramatic Workshop has been called off, announced Prof. Allen Crafton of the speech department. Rehearsals were to have started today.
"I regret to announce," said Professor Crafton, "that there does not seem to be sufficient interest in the Dramatic club or the University as a whole to put on a play at this time. Probably not more than half the women members of the club came out for tryouts—not enough women appeared during the two days of tryouts to take all the necessary parts of the play. Only two men appeared."
Scenery Built, Costumes Made
Professor Crafton has been working the past two weeks on the scenery for the Shakespearian play, which was to have been given sometime in February as a burlesque, comedy romance. Plans had been made for the costumes, the orchestra was half organized, and the scenery partly painted for the production.
"There are definite, natural, understandable reasons why there is not the interest," added Prof. Crafton. "The world we're used to, the world we have lived by, has disappeared. This is true of other activities, but there is less interest in the theater in this section of the country than anywhere else in the United States."
Professor Crafton said that he would like to do the play sometime next semester, as the production is half built, but that, right now, it is an impossibility.
Lt. Pederson Moved To Advance Training
Lt. (j.g.) O. N. Pederson, from Lubbock, Texas, ship's service officer of the naval training school, has been ordered to an advanced officer's training school at Fort Schuyler, Bronx, N. Y., Chief Yeoman G. O. Starkey announced today.
After the eight-week training period, Lieutenant Pederson, a graduate of Texas Tech in 1936 with a bachelor of business administration degree, expects sea duty as a line officer.
Washington (INS) — Secretary of State Cordell Hull announced today the United States has notified Soviet Russia that this government is prepared to use its good offices in an effort to bring about a resumption of diplomatic relations between Russia and the Polish exiled government in London.
Lieutenant Pederson, who came to the Navy school here in July, 1942, received his officer's training at Notre Dame. He was promoted to lieutenant junior grade in May, 1943.
US Promises to Help Solve Russo-Polish Relations
Responsibility for further deterioration in Russo-Polish relations was laid at the door of Moscow by competent Polish officials today.
Dr.Hibbard's Slides Show Fossil Care
When buffaloes roamed the plains, scientists from the East sent scouts to collect fossils in Kansas, Dr. Claude W. Hibbard told an audience yesterday afternoon in the last of a series of lectures sponsored by Dyche museum.
"To collect fossils you have to go where deposits were laid down at the time the animals lived," Dr. Hibbard said. That is why the beds of Western Kansas are the sources of fossils of elephants, rhinoceros, camels, horses, and ground sloths. The beds in eastern Kansas were laid down 100,000,000 years ago before these animals existed.
Fossils Protected in Plaster
After the bones are found, collectors put a coat of shellac over them and let it dry, then cover with a rice paper tissue and plaster of paris. By this means the fossils are protected in shipment back to the museums.
Two methods of finding small fossils are sifting the sands and dirties which contain material and washing the material that is in slits and clays by running water through screen-bottomed boxes.
Dr. Hibard showed a series of slides illustrating the way fossils are dug, the techniques of sifting and washing the bones, the drying of the fossils in the air on towels, the assembling of the skeletons, and the appearance of the animals after they

Eisenhower Silent On Invasion Plans As Allies Drive on
While Allied forces battered their way toward Cassino in Italy and the Russians uncorked a driving new offensive toward the Balkan states, Gen. Dwight W. Eisenhower and Sir Henry Maitland Wilson received correspondence in their respective new headquarters and gave a few hints as to what will be done in the coming year to knock Germany out of the war.
Eisenhower spoke in London from the new supreme headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Forces and his chief disclosure was that Lt. Gen. Omar Nelson Bradley has been made senior ground commander of all American troops in the European theater of operations.
Wilson, Eisenhower's successor as commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean theater spoke in Algiers. His promise was that Allied troops will invade southern France if that proves to be the weakest link in Nazi fortifications.
All will strike where speediest defeat can be meaten out to the military power that started the war. As Sir Henry Maitland Wilson spoke, the forces under his command thrust forward on the route to Rome. Allied troops spearheaded by the U. S. Fifth army lashed at the enemy in preparation for a general assault on Cassino., the main enemy garrison blocking the road to the capital. Advance elements pressed forward from vantage points two miles from Cassino to the banks of the Rapido river.
Lorimer Chosen as First Woman To Be Senior Class President; Other Class Officers Appointed
The first woman president of a senior class in the history of the University of Kansas has been appointed. She is Jane Lorimer, business senior from Olathe. Appointments of class officers were made this year by Peggy Davis, president of the All-Student Council. In former years, class officers have been selected at class elections, but due to wartime conditions created on the campus, it was thought that officers should be appointed by the
Vespers Given By Music Club
Members of Mu Phi Epsilon presented a vesper program of agreeable, easy-to-listen-to music to a small audience yesterday afternoon in their third semiannual vesper performance.
Lueile Rothenberger, pianist,
opened the program with Rubinstein's
“Staccato Etude.” Helen
Pierson played a violin solo, Wieniawski’s “Romance”、“Tranquility”
(Foote) and “If I Could Tell You”
(Firestone) were sung by Suzanne
Schmidt, contralto.
The two-piano team of Beth Beamer and Hope Crittenden played Chaminades "Le Soir." Martha Lee Baxter, cellist, played Offenbach's "Musette." Two Chopin etudes were played by Frances Gulick, pianist.
Barbara Huls highlighted the program with her violin solos, the Concerto in G Minor (First Movement)" by Bruch. The last number was a sparkling piece, "The Mill," played by Peggy Kay, first violin; Harriet Danly, second violin; Barbara Huls, viola; and Martha Lee Baxter, violoncello.
Ruth Orcutt, Shirley Strain, and Hope Crittenden furnished the accompaniments.
Second EM Group Arrives on Campus
The second platoon of electrician's mates arrived Saturday from boot training at the Great Lakes Naval Training school, Chief Yeoman George O. Starkey announced today.
The new trainees were given screening tests today, and will start classes tomorrow, Chief Starkey added.
The 56 men of this platoon, combined with the first platoon of equal size which arrived two weeks ago, will constitute the first company of EM's to receive training here. Lt. McGuigan will be company commander of both platons during their 16-week training period.
Chief Starkey explained that in the future the platoons would be combined into groups of two and be designated as a company, as the first two have been. However, the platoons will arrive and graduate at two-week intervals. The 18th division of machinist's mates, now nearing the end of its training period, will be the last group to be known as a division.

Donald Alderson, business junior from King City, Mo., will lead the class of 1945. Virginia Rader, College junior from Howard, was appointed vice-president and Maxine Jones, College junior from Topeka, secretary-treasurer.
Michael Nichols, freshman in the College from Phillipsburg, was appointed president of the class of 1947. Patricia Graham, College freshman from Winfield, will be vicepresident and Betty Bixby, College freshman from Valley Center, was appointed secretary-treasurer. Begin Plans for Graduation
Senior officers have started work on graduation activities. The class will have a rather perplexing problem because of the breaking up of the graduating class and the addition of more graduation exercises, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association said. This year there will be a graduation for Army medics January 31, the mid-year graduation, March 1, and the spring graduation July 3.
Mr. Ellsworth stated that there might possibly have been a woman president of the graduating class in 1875, Kate Stevens, noted author and teacher. However, there is no definite proof that such is true.
Principal VanSlyck Dies in Topeka
Word was received today in the Alumni office that Willard N. Van Slyck, principal of Topeka High School, died yesterday. Van Slyck was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1914 and received his masters degree in 1928.
For several years he was principal of Salina High School, and he has been principal of Topeca High School since 1828. He took an active part in alumni activities and was an outstanding educator. In 1936, he was elected president of the National Department of Standard School Principals of the National Educational Association. He had two sons, Willard Jr. and Harold.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
ASC Represents KU Student Power
Many army and navy students on the campus do not understand K.U.'s system of student government, and many do not recognize the letters ASC. The following is the first in a series of explanatory editorials, enabling those new to the University to understand the student government organization.
ASC stands for All Student Council and represents a renovation in student government at KU. Less than a year ago this combined organization of men and women was started with a bang-up political campaign plus criticism as well as praise from all sides. Before this time two organizations, the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self Governing Association, vied with each other in plans for government.
The new council has gathered speed this year as it has tried to build student government on the campus, and has succeeded in creating an awareness of and interest in the organization.
The head of the council is the president, elected by the entire association, and the runner-up is the representative-at-large. Representatives of the schools of the University are elected by proportional representation. The schools are divided into districts with the college as district one; engineering and architecture district two; business, fine arts, education, pharmacy and graduate schools district three; and schools of law and medicine district four. Men vote for men and women for women.
Last year's election varied from the above plan since the war interfered with a representative election of men. The women have the president, of the majority party. The positions of secretary and treasurer are divided between the two men's political parties.
The real test of ASC will come after the war. In a world which will need reorganization and straight thinking to solve the government problems, training in student government is essential for those men and women who will take part in post-war reconstruction.
Scurlock Concludes Eligibility Decision
II. This is not a question of legislative interpretation. The meaning of Bill 11 is clear and unequivocal. However, an appeal may be taken from this decision to the combined court consisting of the student court and the faculty advisory committee
III. Having disposed of the important question of jurisdiction we now turn to the merits of the case. Mr. Engle avers that Miss Schaefer's appointment is constitutional because the word "member" in Article VI, sec. 3, means "regular member." He calls to our attention a valid amendment to the constitution which 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 voice. They shall, however, possess all other rights and responsibilities of discussion and introduction of bills and of fair representation of Council Committees.
His conclusion is that Miss Schaefer is a group member and that group members are not regular members because that may be deprived of their voting privileges. We think that Miss Schaefer's status in the Council is immaterial. There are no qualifying adjectives in this section: "No justice shall be a member of the Council." No unsubstantial dis-

BY MARY MORRILL
Webster's supplement: Jean Sellers, Alpha Omicron Pi, has just learned that Ensign Kenneth Larkins, a law student on the Hill last year, is sending her a parrot from the South Seas. Floored at first by the prospect of opening an aviary, the A.O. Pi's are now liking the idea because their first bird (being the gift of a navy man) should be so good for their vocabularies. Freshmen alone remain unhappy about the situation. The regular A.O. Pi pledge assignment now includes a chapter on parrot care.

Polika dots predominated: Even more interesting than the flames which threatened Green hall Tuesday night were the outfits Hill people wore up for the conflagration. What the well-dressed professor wears to fires was demonstrated by Sam Anderson, German instructor, who charged up in a raccoon cap. Harry Jennison, Phil Bet, modeled the latest thing in checked bath robes for young men, and Pat Martin, 1234 Oread, with a turkish towel wrapped around her head illustrated a clever way to disguise the fact you have just washed your hair. Other
spectators appeared in freakish japasms which they attempted to disguise with overcoats. One pant leg or the other, however, was continually unrolling, and people diving to retrieve such errant trousers added much to the general confusion.
Thelma Scott Enters WAVES in March
We hold therefore that Bill 11 is is direct contravention of Article VI, Sec. 3, and is unconstitutional, and that Miss Schaefer is improperly a member of the Council.
We do not question Miss Schaefer's right to sit on the court but we do hold that she must sever all connections with the Council. If at a subsequent date it appears that these connections have continued, we may well be constrained to deny her the privilege of casting her vote in any controversy before the court, but this is the subject matter of another suit.
Miss Thelma Claudine Scott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Scott, a senior at the University, has been accepted as an officer candidate by the WAVES.
养乖临
To be continued: The Delta Gamma-Phi Psi feud took on new life when the girls made off with all the Phi Psi trophies while the fellows were out playing basketball. Later that night the Psi's retaliated by serenading the D.G.s. Not satisfied, however, by mental cruelty, the boys broke out windows and crawled in the house, making off, after quite a stag party in the D.G. living room, with lamps, tables, and several chairs. The pay off was supposed to come a few nights later when the boys had an hour dance scheduled at West Hills. Fearing rough treatment, the boys wore blue jeans. The Delta Gammas, however, came down in their Sunday best, and, except for signs saying "This chair missing in action," placed at bare spots around the room, the white flag seemed to be waving. The Psi's were even feeling a little foolish about their precautionary attire — until time came to go home. The demure D.G.'s had painted Sigma Chi, Beta, Delti, PhiDelta, etc. in large letters, over all the Phi Psi cars in their lot.
(Signed): Comora MacGregor,
John Anderson, and Arnold Weidman.
Miss Schaefer not voting, Miss Persis Sook absent, not voting.
tinction between appointment to the court from the Council and to the Council from the court is allowable. The very reason of this section is indubitable to prevent-partisanship and politics from entering the court. Mr. Engle failed to prove, or even to substantiate the allegation, that non-regular members of the Council would be less likely than regular members to be prejudiced in matters pending before this court because of affiliation with the Council. We believe that to sanction the appointment of justices to the Council, or vice versa, would be highly indesirable and would weaken the faith of the student body in a fair and just court.
Earle Crawford, chairman of the Phi Si committee on messing up women's houses is now working on a new angle.
After completing her studies at the University March 1, Miss Scott will be ordered to the Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School, (WR), Northampton, Mass. for two months of indoctrination.
ROTC Men Will Get Credit for Classes
Horses which looked more like asses and zebras than the present-day horse were the most common kinds of fossils. The early elephants had much shorter trunks and tusks than those today.
The first year advanced ROTC infantry men who left Lawrence Sunday for Officer's Candidate Schools will receive at least one-half credit for the 16-weeks semester which they have been attending, L. C. Woodruff, registrar, announced this morning. The exact amount of credit each man receives will depend upon the type of courses he was taking and the number of hours, he said.
Dyche museum had only 15 species of bird fauna in 1936, but since then over 1000 bird fossils have been collected. Birds in Kansas were not as rare as has been thought.
A new group of men will not be moved into barracks A, formerly the Sigma Chi house, which the ROTC men occupied during their brief stay at the University, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris said today. Medical ASTP men who have been quartered in the barracks will remain there.
The coast artillery ROTC men will leave Lawrence for OCS as previously announced sometime this week, said Lt. Col. McMorris.

KU Wins First Big Six Game From Nebraska
The Kansas Jayhawks really looked like a basketball team on the Hoch auditorium floor Saturday night as they trounced the hapless Nebraska Cornhuskers, 51 to 27, for their first Big Six conference win. Displaying the old "Allen magic" for the first time on the home court this season, the Jayhawks finally found their stride.
The Allenmen hope to keep "in the groove" as they meet a fighting Kansas State Wildcat outfit here tomorrow night and one of the conference favorites, the Oklahoma Sooners, here Friday night. Doped to win the first and lose the second, the KU. cagers might very well trump in both comparing the crimson and blue's Nebraska performance against the Sooners not too red hot exhibition in downing Missouri only 40 to 30 at Oklahoma City last Saturday night.
Cornhuskers Trail at Half
The Cornhuskers made a battle of it for the most part of the first half and trailed only 23 to 15 at the half. The Jayhawks came back like a whirlwind and turned the final stanza into a rout, scoring 17 points before the Huskers could count a field basket.
Freshman Charley Moffett was high scorer for the game with five field goals and three free throws for a 13 point total. This boosted his conference mark to 27 points in two games, a 13.5 average, to place him near the top.
The Huskers started out as if they were really going places, scoring first on an under-the-basket shot by their big center, Buzz Hollins. Could the Huskers have had the service of their regular center, lanky six foot four Don Barry, who was out because of scholastic diculities, he and Holllins might have controlled the boards as the not-too-tall Kansas team gave signs at first that they were going to have trouble in this department. Holllins was high scorer for the losers with eight points.
Allenmen Were All Hitting
The Jayhawks were certainly one of the warmest shooting teams of the season once they get started. One and two-handers from close in and far out just couldn't miss as all the Allenmen were hitting. Allen's entire squad of 13 saw service, and all but three hit the scoring column as the point-making was well distributed. Barrington, although playing only part of the last half, counted nine points, McSpadden scored eight, Dlinquist five, Sherwood five, Dick three, and Malott, Corder, Frank, and Stucker each two. Palmer, a starter, Diehl, and Turner also performed well, though not scoring.
When George Dick shot the Kansans ahead 11 to 10 after 10 minutes had gone by, the Jayhawks were never again headed.
With Moffett hitting both one and two handers and Sherwood splitting two for two long ones, Kansas moved away to their half-time lead of eight points.
McSpadden Warmed Up After Half After internission Sparky McSpadden, cold in the early moments began popping them in right and left. Don Barrington was dropping them in with that right hand hook that recently counted 28 points for him against K-State at Kansas City. Everyone seemed to be hitting for Kansas.
Late in the game Coach Ad Lewandowski sent his whole outfit into the game. A third string guard, little Max Johns, surprised everyone including himself in zipping in three consecutive fielders to boost the Husker score from 19 to 25. It was
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock. Kansan Sports Editor
Dr. F. C. Allen recently remarked that he was not trying to put Coach Lou Menze and his Iowa State Cyclones on the spot by picking them for the championship as C. E. McBride, Kansas City Star sports editor, might have had one believe. With his own team out of the running (or are they?) , Allen asserted that he would rather have Menge, one of his former pupils, win rather than Oklahoma's Bruce Drake, which is only natural. Allen states that both he and Lt. Jack Gardner, the former Kansas State cage mentor, are strong for Lou Menze, and McBride says he is a bit mystified by Phog's entering Gardner as a Menze admirer. "Mac" states that he has never heard anyone say anything against Menze, and that Louie is such a fine sportsman and coach, that he doesn't see that he needs any support.
宋  启  章
We believe McBride failed to catch the true significance of Allen's tacit remark. The way we would interpret it would be in connection with the following situation. It seems that all the naval cadets with any outstanding athletic abilities are being sent to Iowa State. Just why talented athletes (especially All - American Price Brookfield) should be sent to the Ames school, we can't quite understand. Upon investigation we have found that Brookfield upon his own initiative wrote the University desirous of enrolling here. He was told, of course, that there was nothing they could do, but that he might ask his commanding officer that he be sent here. Doesn't it seem a little strange that Brookfield and other star athletes would be deliberately steered away from Mt. Oread? Incidentally, Lt. Jack Gardner, naval aviation physical education officer in this area, happens to or at least might have some "say" as to where flier athletes should be sent.
* *
If Gardner DID keep Brookfield from coming to Kansas, our views would be that Jack is just plain jealous of "Phog" Allen. Iowa State had more lettermen than all the other conference schools put to-
the first college game in which Johns had ever participated.
The officiating of Referees Lance and Hogue was especially good as they always had the game under control. Thirty-two fouls were called—18 on Nebraska and 14 on K.U., with three visitors and one Kansas player, Corder, going out via the foul route.
Gardner, once captain of the Southern California five, never could beat Allen as coach at Kansas State. He found that he couldn't explode the Allen myth. But last year, as coach of the Olathe NAS team with a squad of former All-Americans he could, perhaps. He did the first meeting only to be twice trounced by the Jayhawks in return engagements. The master just couldn't be licked. But now, maybe, Gardner at last figured he could "turn the trick" by sending Brookfield to an already strong I-State squad rather than to the green inexperienced Kansas team.
'Phog' Is Chairman Of War Fund Drive
gether plus two lettermen from other schools enrolled there in the navy, and really didn't need Brook-field. They would even perhaps be as strong without him as Kansas would be with him.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen is the new chairman of the Red Cross War Fund committee, Mr.M.S.Winter, retiring chairman, announced Friday at the annual Red Cross meeting in the Colonial tea room. Dr.Allen will direct the War Fund drive which begins in March. Vicechairman H.G.Barr, an instructor in the School of Religion, presided at the meeting in the absence of the chairman. Mr.Barr was elected a member of the executive committee for the coming year.
Committee members are Miss Esther E. Twente, assistant professor of sociology; Miss Kathryn Tissue, assistant professor of home economics; Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education; and Parke H. Woodard, associate professor of physiology. They reported on the activities of their groups.
The principal activity of the volunteer special services committee, led by Dr. Ralph I Canuteson, has been the operation of the blood bank.

Despite two Big Six home games with K-State tomorrow night and Oklahoma Friday night, intramural basketball will really have a busy week with a heavy slate of eight games scheduled as follows:
Eight Intramural Games This Week
Tonight-Phi Psi vs, TKE and SAE vs. Beta.
Tuesday—Blanks vs. Phi Gam and
Battenfeld vs. Phi Delt
Wednesday—DTD vs. Phi Gam;
Sigma Nu vs. Phi Delt; TKE vs. Triangle and Beta vs. Carruth.
The games Tuesday will be played at 10 p.m. after the varsity game's completion.
The best games on tap would appear to be the SAE-Beta, Blanks-Phi Gam and DTD-Phi Gam contests. The Phi Delta, with a star studded quintet, should win both their games handily. They are the "team to beat" in the B league, with the Beta's a not too close second. Top teams in the A league should be the Blanks, Phi Gams, and Phi Psis according to early reports.

Students Become Petty Officers In Navy V-12
Student petty officers of V-12, trainees for important duties in the direction of activities of all V-12 trainees of the University unit, have been selected and are now discharging their duties, Lt. C. A Michelman, assistant commanding officer of V-12, announced today.
The new student officer system, which resembles very closely the cadet officer systems used in the army and navy academies, was devised and put into operation by Ensign H. L. Ware, V-12 athletic officer.
Hargrave Regiment Commander
Hargrave Regiment Commander
William R. Hargrave, PT 7, freshman engineer form Topeka, is regimental commander, and working directly under him are two battalion commanders, four company commanders, and the eight acting petty officers and masters-at-arms in charge of the individual houses. Two assistants to the regimental commander, Maclay D. Gwinn, PT 4, from Omak, Wash., and James V. Walker PT 2, from Hoisington, are also in charge of the junior officers.
Robert E. Clark, PT 3, is battalion Commander over PT's 1, 2, 3, and 4, which are commonly called the Pacific Fleet by V-12'ers, and Clinton C. Slean, PT 6, holds the same position over PT's 5, 6, 7, and 8, known as the Atlantic Fleet.
Four Are Company Commanders
Under the battalion commanders function the company commanders, one to every two houses. John R. Stevenson, PT 1, hold this position over PTs 1 and 2; Richard Beach, PT 3, is over PTs 3 and 4; Frederick W. Howells, PT 5, is in charge of PTs 5 and 6; and Charles E. Lunn, PT 8, is over PTs 7 and 8.

YW Freshmen Begin New Plan
The YWCA will start their new freshman program, Thursday. There will be a series of five discussions over five weeks at different houses, rotating so that each of the speakers will talk at each of the houses.
All YWCA freshman members have been invited to attend from 7 to 8 p.m. at the house most convenient to their own house. The meetings will be held at the Pi Beta Phi house, Gamma Phi Beta house, Corbin hall, Miller hall, and Jolliffe hall.
There will be an adult and a student in charge of the program at each house. The discussions and their leaders will be:
"Meaning of Democracy," Prof. W. E. Sandelius, department of political science and Jill Peck, senior; "Brotherhood on the Campus," Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, professor of chemistry, and Betty Pile, junior; "College Curriculum, and after College, Career," Miss Kathleen Doering, professor of entomology, and Mignon Morton, junior; "Your Philosophy of Life," the Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion, and Julia Ann Casad, sophomore; and "The Christian as a Citizen," by the Rev. Homer Jack, and Betty Pennell, senior.
The chairman of the houses where the meetings will be hold are:
Marion Epworth, senior, Pi Betha Phi house; Lonnie Kelley, junior, Corbin hall; Charlotte Price, sophomore, Jolliffe hall; Virginia Rader, junior, Miller hall; and Shirley Crawford, sophomore, Gamma Phi Beta house.
'Kansan in Good Shape,' Says Prof. Elmer Beth
"The University·Daily Kansan seems to be better off now than many student newspapers in large universities," according to Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, who has just returned from a meeting of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism and of the National Council on Professional Education for Journalism held in Chicago Jan. 13 to 15.
"I was pleased to realize during the conference," says Prof. Beth, "that while the Kansan has been able to increase its number of editions without taking a loss, news- reporters in many large schools have been forced to cut down their publication days, at the same time operating at a continual deficit.
Was One of 35 There
One of 35 delegates from 25 colleges and universities attending the conference, Prof. Beth spoke Friday afternoon on "News and Editorial Problems" in a panel discussion on the problems of college publications in war time. Among other things which he mentioned in his address was the fact that a cross-sectional survey of journalism
schools shows those papers which are directly connected with the department of journalism in their university are much more successful, especially in meeting shortages of materials and staff, than are newspapers which operate independently.
One of the most serious problems of college newspapers discussed at the conference, says Prof. Beth, is that of distributing papers, free of charge, to the many service men now in college programs without having a deficit appear on the books of the publication. Most schools which have met this problem successfully are using a system similar to the activity card plan in operation at the University of Kansas. Discussed Place of Women
Another subject discussed particularly at the meeting of the National Council on Professional Education for Journalism, Saturday, was the place of women in the newspaper world. Discussions and lectures brought out the facts, according to Prof. Beth, that only a small percentage of the women who are employed on newspapers now are con-

Those 'Good Ol' Days In Lawrence
Looking at 1925 fashions, seeing an old-fashioned, horseless carriage, and hearing about the former generation and its inconvenient conveniences has always been a source of pleasure for anyone interested in their surroundings. Perhaps that is why Mrs. Elizabeth M. Watkins provided for the Lawrence room on the fourth floor of the library.
After hearing Miss Maud Smelzer, accession librarian, tell about the exciting days just before the Civil War and the men who took part in those historical events, one realizes that Lawrence has one of the most vivid histories of any town in the West.
John Brown, Quantril, the leader of merciless massacres; and other famous characters in Kansas history are made even more familiar after visiting this room.
The cannon that fired the first shot for slavery and the first shot against it, is also displayed. This cannon, Miss Smelzer explained, was fired on the first Eldridge hotel, but because it did not destroy the building, the attacking "southerners" marched into town and, after a few minutes warning, burned the hotel to the ground. Even the desk bell that was used by the leader of the attacking army to warn the hotel guests is a relic to be seen here. Since that time, three Eldridge hotels have been built—each preceding one being destroyed.
Corbin hall, the Sigma Nu house, the Sigma Kappa house, and many other buildings on the campus are built on sites which not so many years ago were the scenes of battles, murders, and homes of prominent townspeople.
One also learns that the founding of the University was inspired by New England in many ways, for many of the men who were responsible for it existence were from the East. Mt. Oread received its name from a girl's seminary in Massachusetts which was the last New England building that one of the emigrants saw as he made his way westward.
A California student has already displayed his interest for the exhibit, for he has written an interesting story of the old cannon and the exciting events woven about its use.
Samples Received From Ver Wiebe Gift
Samples of cores and cuttings from oil wells, the major part of a collection made by Dr. Walter A. Ver Wiebe of the University of Wichita, were received yesterday by the University division of the State Geological survey. Dr. Ver Wiebe recently offered his collection to be added to that of the division here. The combined collection will represent the largest public library of deep earth information in the Mid-Continent region.
At present the samples are being sorted and boxed, and J. C. Frye of the survey division believed it would be about three months before the classification could be completed and displays set up.
Navy Will Drop V-5 Says Frank Knox
Although no information was received here about dropping the V-5 program, Frank Knox, secretary of the navy, informed Sen. Arthur Capper in Washington, D.C., that all V-5 training programs in the nation would be discontinued next summer, according to press reports in Topeka.
The University was one of the original 13 schools chosen for the program. Ninety men are stationed in the unit here.
Pravda Prints Peace Rumor
Almost ignoring land and aerial warfare in Italy and Russia, press, private, and public circles in all the world's capitals paraded out for discussion and dissection of the "rumor from Cairo" alleging separate peace talks between British Emissary and Nazi foreign minister Joachin Von Ribbertrop.
The passage of 24 hours since the meddlesome dispatch issued by Pravda, Soviet newspaper, first appeared found the British press still bursting with indignation and the chagrined officials in Moscow trolling over to the Kremlin to make sure the Soviet government had not overlooked the official denial issued by the foreign office last night.
Few incidents of recent warfare have aroused as much excitement at the 10-line rumor printed by Pravda, which is attributed to Yugoslavia and Greek quarters in Cairo.
Kansas to Play K-State Tonight For 99th Time
The Kansans displayed some comparatively good basketball Saturday night in applying Nebraska's second conference defeat, 51-27. The Wildteens have dropped their two conference battles but both to the loop leaders, Iowa State and Oklahoma—co-favorites for the flag this season. In a late December game in Kansas City's municipal auditorium continued four times.
(continued to page four)
Whether it is inspiration occasioned by the ancient rivary between the University and the K-State Wildcats, or some other obscure reason, the fact remains that in meeting the up-river opponents tonight in the cage, proteges of the wily Dr. F. C. Allen know they will have their hands completely full. The purple and white hopsters have always been a Jayhawk nemesis in Lawrence and the men of Oread expect to have a busy evening. They hope it won't be too full.
The Kansas Jayhawks will be striving for their second conference win when they take on the Kansas State Wildcats in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 tonight in the 99th meeting between the two traditional foes.
Barzin Sees Solution In Agricultural Germany
Madame Barzin said that the underground newspaper in Belgium is the most highly developed and the most successful in the European countries. All the devices and clever means of distributing the papers that are portrayed in the movies are exaggerated, she explained. Most of the distribution is done by priests.
The journalist said that she had no hope for a post-war federation of Europe. She saw no way of changing the ideas of the German youth after the war and had little faith in a post-war education plan. Underground Paper Is Successful
Kansas has won 67 of the battles, one this year; and since the Big Six was formed back in 1929, Kansas has won 37 while losing only five. The Wildcats won fewer conference games from the Jayhawks than any other team in the Big Six.
KU Will Have 'Hands Full'
Transformation of Germany into an agricultural state is the only solution to the problem of handling that country after the war. Madame Barzin, Belgian correspondent, tok members of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority, at a dinner Saturday in her honor.
"As long as people are milking cows, feeding the pigs, and tilling the soil, they will not have a chance to get into a military way of life," Madame Barzin said. She suggested that the scientists of the country be compelled to do their research outside of Germany and that their accomplishments be given to the world, not kept for Germany alone.
No Hope for Federation
The Dutch and Belgians make no distinction between the Germans and Nazis as we tend to do. They consider them all as Germans and hate them intensely, Madame Barzin explained.
who have played a remarkable part in the underground work.
The small European countries desire only their pre-war status with a weakened Germany, Madame Earzin believes.
In contrast to newspapers in the United States, those in Europe are individual, not stereotyped in style and content as they are here. Our syndicates particularly are displeasing to the European journalist.
Madame Barzin left Lawrence Sunday afternoon to resume her tour throughout the Middle West.
250 Attend Dance At Union Saturday
Approximately 250 danced to the music of the ASTP band in the Union lounge from 3 to 5 Saturday afternoon at the Canteen dance. Civilians and service men with activity tickets were admitted free, and University women entertained them.
The social committee of the Union building activities committee was in charge of the dance. Included among those who helped this week were Ann Zimmerman, chairman, Fugenia Hepworth, Edith Marie Darby, Catherine Foster, Helen Gardner, Mariyland Maloney, Mary Nettles, Jane Atwood, Navy V-12 representatives Wallace Grimes and Dick Beach, and Army representatives Jerry Galligan and Stan Hagler.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
The Underground Press in Europe is a concrete example of one freedom is we are fighting for. It symbolizes the thoughts and actions of free men, and serves a twofold purpose to thwart the reign of terror and destruction in Europe. It informs the people of outside affairs and true war events, and it defies the usurper by showing the downtrodden people a spirit of democracy and freedom.
Though not as spectacular as in movie portrayal, the activities of the underground press are dangerous and courageous. From the school child to the priest people receive their copies of forbidden papers and pass them on. The organization of underground presses form a chain so that one captured member cannot reveal the whole organization.
Underground presses are most numerous in Belgium, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. France is behind other countries because of a tremendous shortage of paper. Belgium alone has 200 underground presses. This small country had experience in secret publication while occupied by the Germans in World War I and so, stowed paper away in every available corner to prepare for underground presses when an occupation by German troops was imminent.
Underground Press Defies Nazi Usurper
Copies of papers printed by the underground are smuggled out of the occupied countries in various ways. Perhaps the most common way is through boys escaping to join the allied forces. These boys bring many such papers with them. Contrary to popular belief, there are no underground presses in Germany. Of all the thousands of such papers to come out of Europe, not one has been printed in Germany.
It is the people of the occupied countries who hate Germany and its tyrannical rule who defy the government and dare to print the truth. The Underground Press is preparing its people for freedom and will prove a valuable aid in any allied invasion of Europe.
Thursday's Kansan carried a story of interviews of college girls on the campus concerning women serving in the armed services.
Letters to the Editor
After reading such an article I felt depressed and somewhat angry. I doubt whether many other soldiers would feel otherwise about this article.
I received a strong impression that the girls attending K.U. hardly know there is a terrible struggle on for survival. The Germans and Japs would laugh themselves sick reading that the girls "like civilian clothes better" or "I'm just a little bit selfish. I have a few plans of my own and they don't include the women's auxiliary forces," or something like "both girls said that if the war is still on when they are out of school, they would consider joining an auxiliary if women are needed badly enough."
The hardships these darling coeds are enduring are really lamentable. If all military personnel were suddenly removed from K.U. the girls would consider that a hardship and many would transfer to another school. Their luxuries mean so much to them. Would you girls consider joining a service to do your part? Dear me NO.-Pvt. H.M.

MORRILL
Home was never like this: Merle Baker, radio enthusiast of 1332 Louisiana, hooked a loud speaker up, the other night, to the bed springs of Walter Stueckemann's bed (third floor, 1332 La.) Then, shortly after the victim retired, Merle, urged on by Don Crawford and Bill Hare, wailed "W-aaa-lter, W1aa-lter, can you hee-ar mee W-aaa-lter?" into his transmitter. Walter, who comes from a farm near Ellinwood, thought he was having a real visitation from the spirits and bolted downstairs hair on end.

--nuisance. But over the weekend the situation became tragic, and Lassie was demoted from her comfortable quarters in Jim Bridgens' room to the basement. According to an ultimatum from Larry Johnson, Phi Bete president, if, after a reasonable period of pledge training, Lassie hasn't mended her canine ways she goes back to the pound.
The sub couldn't have put up a tougher fight: Claudine Scott asked Dave Long, PT8, to find a date for Nadine Scott, last year's president of Corbin, who was going to be in Lawrence over the weekend. Several nights later Dave called to report, "Sighted date, secured same," he chirped victoriously. Ken Shannon, also of PT8, was the casualty.

Subversively speaking: No one knows how a bottle of "stink perfume" came into the possession of the masculine Jean Moore, but the fact remains that it did. Recognizing his opportunity, Jean made elaborate plans to splash the unsavory concoction on the floor of one John Moore Co-op dorm and then retire peacefully to his own bed on the other side of the house. Which was a very clever trick and would have undoubtedly resulted in the successful asphyxiation of several persons, had it not been for Bob Campbell. Campbell got wind of the treachery, exchanged the "perfume" for corn syrup, and then retired while Jean carried out his fiendish plans. Campbell stayed in this convenient state of retirement through the next morning which Jean spent developing a case of housemaid's knee in a sea of stickiness and soap suds.

TUESDAY. JANUARY 18, 1944
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Kansas is going to beat Oklahoma Friday night, despite what the experts might say. The Sooners after winning the Oklahoma City Invitation tournament recently were boosted to fourth or fifth in the nation by the Dunkel ratings. Since then they were dropped by the Oklahoma Aggies by a 19-point margin and last night defeated lowly Nebraska on their home court only ten points, 45 to 35.
The Sooners led Nebraska only four points at the half, 21 to 17 with Husker Buzz Hollins giving them all kinds of trouble around the basket. A Husker reserve, little Max Johns, held the Sooner fresh star Ken Pryor to only five stars. Johns played his first college game here last Saturday night.
Two Husker stars, Artman and Tangeman, again went out on fouls like they did here the other night. At the time, Artman, the only Husker letterman went out, Nebraska was leading 23 to 21. When the Artman, Tangeman, and Hollins fouled out against Kansas the game was already safely tucked away, but Nebraska might have beaten the Drakemen had they not lost their stars, for without them they trailed by only six points with only four minutes to go.
A and M Defeated
The Oklahoma Aggies失利 by one point last night to the Norman Navy Boomers, 23 to 22. The Ibamens rounced Oklahoma, yet have lost two games to the Zoomers, the same team that has twice lost to Oklahoma. Can you figure it out?
Besides all that, Nebraska played without the service of two regulars, Dworak and Nelson. Dworak, forward, a naval dental student, had to return to Lincoln to obey the 48-hour leave law, and Nelson and Eliza Kuhmlman, hustled back from Lawrence Saturday night to attend Monday labs.
Olathe Still Winning!
***
The smooth-working Olathe Clippers ran their consecutive game winning streak up to eleven last night in defeating Missouri, 48 to 35. The Clippers recently trounced Kansas at Oatle, 49 to 25.
***
Iowa State Beaten!
The Iowa Seahawks evened the score with the Iowa State Cyclones last night, winning 33 to 27. This evended an early season 1-point loss to the Cyclones, who won the initial contest without the services of Price Brookfield.
***
Moffett Runnerup!
Allie Paine of Oklahoma and Charles Moffett of Kansas are heading the Big Six scoring parade and they'll see quite a lot of each other Friday night when their two clubs clash here in one of the week's top attractions.

KANSAS TO PLAY--lost to the army. Starting for them tonight will be forwards Schwirtz and Gish, center Cooley, and guards Doyen and Olson. Jilka and Findley will also be called on. Cooley has been the Wildcats" "hot shot" in most games to date, but Gish and Doyen have also taken high scoring honors on a few occasions.

ium, the Jayhawks whipped the team from up the river 62 to 44 in a wild battle which saw both teams scoring 31 points in the initial canto
Big Don Scored Against Aggies
Dr. Allen held Don Barrington in leash for 33 minutes of the Nebraska game following Barrington's indifferent showing in the last few games. The formula appears to have had results for in the seven minutes he played, Big Don whipped in four field goals, one free throw, and took most of the reboundes after Nebraska attempts at the basket. In the K.U. victory over the Aggies in the Kansas City clinic, Barrington chalked up 28 points, 23 of them in the first half.
Dr. F. C. Allen will again revamp his starting lineup with two new faces, Sherwood and Goehring, appearing. Quite unlike last year when the wily doctor depended almost wholly on his "iron five," this year the starting lineup has hardly if ever been the same from game to game.
Goehring From Ark City
Against the Wildcats, Dr. Allen plans to start Moffett and Llanduph at forwards, Sherwood at center, or quarterback, and Captain McSpadden and Louis Goehring, at guards, Sherwool sparked the attack against the Cornhuskers when he was in the lineup Saturday night and dropped in two long baskets from way out in front. Goehring, a newcomer to the Kansans' starting lineup, is a tall lad—six feet one, up from the tough Arkansas Valley League. He hails from Arkansas City, and is in the V-12 program on the Hill.
In their most recent games K-State was crushed by Oklahoma, 61 to 28, lost to Fort Riley C.R.T.C. 67 to 43, but came back to hand little McPherson a 63 to 44 licking, McPherson had defeated all opponents except K-State.
Wildcats Are First Half Club
Throughout the season the Wildcats have been a strong first half club, but because of lack of reserves have weakened in the final stanza. The Staters received a blow when big Lou Otto, giant rebounder, was
Paine tallied eleven points in Oklahoma's 44-33 triumph over Missouri and Moffett netted thirteen as Kansas trimmed Nebraska 51-27 Saturday night. The Sooners' star guard now has thirty points in two games to Moffett's twenty-seven. Paine may get the task of guarding Moffett Friday night.
Continue Book Drive Through This Week
Since books are still coming in, the World Student Service Fund book drive, scheduled to close yesterday, will continue through this week. Eloise Penner, chairman of the drive, has announced.
Commenting on donations so far in the drive, Miss Penner said that most of the texts which have been contributed are in excellent condition and will serve the purpose of the WSSF well. Although no official count has been made, Miss Penner believes that contributions have been satisfactory in quantity and that by the end of the week the expectations of the drive committee will be realized.

sidered unsatisfactory, and that editors would rather hire a good woman than an mediocre man, although in the case of equal ability, they would take the man because he would be more permanent in the position.
The impression many outsiders are obtaining now that too many women are being trained for journalistic careers is erroneous, it was pointed out. No more women are actually taking journalism than before. However, because civilian men are not left to take staff positions on college publications, the women have grown more prominent. In addition to this, while enrollment in some schools has increased, other, smaller institutions, have been forced to close their departments of journalism completely.
(1) Smaller newspapers are learning to accept women; (2) there will be great expansion in many fields included in journalism (advertising, radio, etc.) after the war, and (3) new newspapers will be started up and old ones revived.

Changes Made In Requirements For KU Medics
A new provision affecting the combined curriculum for College and Medicine students was passed by the administrative committee in the faculty meeting yesterday in Fraser theater, Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College announced today.
Because a number of pre-medic students have been sent in the Army Specialized Training Program to other institutions, these men will be unable to satisfy the requirement that the last 30 hours of college work previous to registering in the School of Medicine be done in residence study in the College. The committee recommended that this requirement be waived for candidates for the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree combined with the doctor of medicine degree, who by military necessity are compelled to take all or a part of the last 30 hours of college work previous to registration in the School of Medicine in some other institution.
This provision concerns only students who have been unable to take the 30 hours in residence because of their enrollment in a reserve program. Dean Lawson emphasized.
At least 18 pre-medic students who were obliged to take their last 30 hours before applying for admittance to the School of Medicine at Yale University because they were sent there by the ASTP, will be affected by the new ruling. They will be able to enroll in the School of Medicine in March, Dean Lawson said.
Dr. Bauer to Speak Of Medical Trends
Dr. W. W. Bauer, director of the American Medical Association Bureau of Health Education, will speak on "Modern Trends in Medicine and Public Health" in Fraser theater at 8 o'clock Friday evening.

His address will be the seventh annual program presented at the University through the lectureship. Last year Dr. Karl Menninger of the Menninger clinic in Topeka spoke.
The lecture Friday is open to the general public.

Russian Fleets In Baltic Used Against Nazis
(International News Service)
Soviet Baltic fleets a hithertofo-negligible factor in the Russo-German war emerged today as a surprise weapon against Nazi domination.
Brief dispatches from Moscow disclosed a new offensive west and south of the city of Leningrad in which giant naval guns based at Kronstadt played a leading role, possibly forshadowing major fleet action against the German-held coast of Esthonia. Just 17 months after the seige of Leningrad was broken, the Russian attack south of Oraniendaum and north of Novgorod swept through carefully prepared Nazi defenses and poised a real threat to the heavily guarded front of Esthonia, gateway to ancient German Gourland, the whole Baltic Littoral, and East Prussia.
The offensive was timed to coincide with continued Russian progress to the south where Soviet troops drove deeper into the heart of old Poland, and tore the frontier of Rumania. Moscow described the offensive around Leningrad as "triphibious" operation, for dive bombers attached to the Baltic fleet played a leading role along with the big guns of Kronstadt in supporting the land advances.
The Germans were reported falling back south of Oraniendaum under pounding of the long-range Kronstadt guns. The city itself is the hump of an important network of railways and the key of German communications in the entire northern area.
Students Receive Diffenbaugh Loans
A total of $6,437.95 has been issued to 20 students at the University, the annual financial statement of the trustee in the estate of Henry J. Diffenbaugh of Kansas City showed The loans were issued under the terms of the trust.

Similar trusts were left by Mr. Diffenbaugh to Baker University and the University of Illinois. The total in each trust is now Kansas $68,719.47; Illinois; $122,589.99; and Baker, $68,863.46.
Dean Woody Thompson, adviser of men at the University of Iowa at Iowa City and professor in the School of Business, will visit on the campus this afternoon and observe how student affairs are conducted during wartime at the University.

Allies Advance On All Fronts
(International News Service)
In Italy east of the Garigliano river bridgeheads American troops of the Fifth army flanked by French and Moroccan fighters clashed with enemy forces on the outskirts of Cassino, and there was every indication of an early decision in the struggle for this vital key point, blocking the road to Rome.
With new major American offensive moves in the Pacific expected almost momentarily, last dispatches from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters told of heavy blows dealt out to the Japanese in ground fighting in the Arawe area of New Britain while widespread new air attacks were carried out against enemy shipping north of Australia.
Allied aerial activity played a major role again in the Mediterranean theater. Heavy bombers struck for the second successive day against north central Italy, concentrating on badly battered objectives in the Florence area. Coincident with these air assaults, destroyers of the British Navy ranged their guns against targets on both sides of the Adriatic, shelling numerous enemy supply ports.

Just CAA Unit, Not All V-5's To Be Canceled
Dr. Frederick L. Schuman, lecturer, teacher, and writer, will speak on "the Riddle of Post-War Europe" at a University convocation scheduled for 9:45 a.m. Feb. 21, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, has announced.
Contrary to reports released in Topeka Sunday that all V-5 training would be discontinued next summer throughout the nation, an official letter received by Lt. R. A. Neil, commander of the University's V-5 unit, from the Kansas City Naval Aviation office yesterday stated that just the Civil Aeronautics Administration War Training School, one school out of the five attended by V-5 cadets in their training period, would be discontinued July 1. Lieutenant Neil explained that when the V-5 program was enlarged last year, the Navy contract with the CAA, which already had ground and flight training schools established at colleges over the nation, for the training of civilian students to provide a training school of 16 weeks for the naval aviation cadets. It is this contract with the CAA that will be discontinued July 1. Lieutenant Neil stated.
"It is definitely established that the CAAWTS is to be discontinued as such next summer," the letter stated. However, no word was received as to the discontinuation of the training of cadets. Lieutenant Neil added.
Dr. Schuman received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Chicago and taught there until 1936. He has also taught at Harvard and the University of California. He is the present holder of the Woodrow Wilson professorship of government at Williams College. He has appeared frequently on the Chicago Round Table and the Town Meeting of the Air radio programs.
Lieutenant Neil said that it has been known for some time, among Navy men, that the CAAWTS, the type here at the University, would be discontinued next summer.

According to a recent AP dispatch, the Kansas State Board of Education has decided to eliminate the Jayhawk from elementary school text books. The reason for doing away with the Jayhawk, they say, is because no such bird exists or has ever existed in Kansas.
Whether or not the board will go a step further and discard the symbol of the Jayhawk remains to be seen. If they declare the bird no longer a symbol of Kansas, the educators are likely to encounter a great deal of opposition from lovers of Kansas tradition.
The term was first used by Texans in the early 1840s to denote a bushwhacker, a spoiler, or a member of the opposition. During the territorial days of Kansas, the name was brought into play again as a term of reproach mingled with contempt. As years went by, Kansas began to respect the word Jayhawk and eventually called themselves Jay-hawkers with a great deal of pride.
If we throw away the Jayhawk, we will be discarding a symbol of the struggles and triumph of Kansas pioneers which has become a tradition. And after all, our country's history is bright with tradition and symbols. Just because the Jayhawk didn't breath and fly doesn't mean that we should forget about it. The Statue of Liberty has never been alive; yet who would want to tear it down? The Liberty Bell, the symbol of freedom, can't ring any more but none of us would be in favor of contributing it to the scrap meta drive.
For years the Jayhawk has served a far greater purpose than providing a figure for billboard advertisements and decorations for University of Kansas students' sweaters. It has served as a reminder of the growth and development of Kansas.
If the State Board of Education wants to delete the sentence, "The 'Jayhawker' comes from the name of a bird native to this locality" let them go ahead. But in its place they would be wise to insert an explanation of the term.-J.J.
Post-war Professions Attractive Say Panel
That the professions in the postwar world will offer the attractions of comfortable living, the satisfaction of being respected in the community, and opportunity to remain an "essential worker" even in advanced years, was the gist of a panel discussion at the Junior High P.T.A. Monday night. Five University men participated.
What the future holds for those who enter law, medicine, teaching, or the ministry was discussed, in turn, by Dean F. J. Moreau of the School of Law; Dr. Ralph I. Canutelson, director of the health service; Dr. R. A. Schwegler of the School of Education; and the Rev. Harold G. Barr, instructor in the School of Religion. Each one emphasized the conviction that the foremost responsibility of the professional man is service to humanity.
Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, who is vice-president of the Junior High P.T.A., served as chairman of the meeting.
Tea Will Be Served Tomorrow
The regular home economics tea will be served from 3 to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow. All students are invited to attend at this time, Miss Edna Hill has announced. The dining room must be vacated at 4:30 for the home economics club meeting, however, Miss Hill said.
Rock Chalk Talk
It's hard to imagine just what Mrs. Brooks, Corbin housemother, would have thought if she had seen Ruth Blethen creeping down the fire escape around 2 o'clock Sunday morning in a pair of flannel pajamas. She could have been forgiven, certainly, for thinking almost anything. However, the housemother didn't see; Ruth got the capped coke bottle which had fallen out of a fourth story window without breaking, and crept back up the fire escape without sounding off the alarm. (Practice makes perfect).

Kiss and make up: So goes the supposed finale of the Phi Psi-Delta Gamma western which has had such a long run in the West Hills theater of action. The conciliatory scene took place after an hour dance last week
when the Psi's returned all the D.G. furniture. Thereupon, one of the fellows summoned Donna Claire Jackson (recently pinned to Bob Brown, Phi Psi and Phi Bete), Jackie was informed that she had been selected as good will ambassador from her sorority and given instructions to relax. The line then formed: when it was through kissing Jackie, there could be no doubt about the cordiality of feeling between the Phi Psi's and the D.G.s.
Lt. Robert Chilson Awarded Silver Star
Lt. Robert E. Chilson, a student at the University from 1936-1940, who has been missing in action since Aug. 31, 1942, has been awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action at Guadalcanal.
Freedom from fear? Three warnings about quiet hours equal a campus, was the austere decision at a recent Corbin house meeting which moved Donna Hempler to set the hall, perhaps even the hill, record. She didn't make a sound of any kind for two hours — not even to her roommate. When asked later why she had included her roommate in the stoic silence, Donna shrieked, "What talk to my roommate?" clapped her hands over her mouth, and refused to speak for another long period of time. Donna, only a hair's breadth from a campus now, rooms with Lou Taylor, Corbin proctor.
While at the University, Lieutenant Chilson, who was a fighter pilot, was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, and a member of the basketball squad.
His wife has been notified of the award.
Demos Accused of Stalling Bill
Washington, (INS) — The house heard charges today that the democratic leadership is "stalling" in bringing up the so called "states rights" vote bill for servicemen and women. The accusations were made by Representatives Rankin (Dem., Miss.) and Cox (Dem., Ga.).

Nayne U. Starts Labor Program
Detroit, Mich. (ACF)—A labor education program, new to Detroit, has been started by Wayne University, developed in cooperation with representatives of organized labor in the Detroit area.
The labor program represents the first attempt on the part of university authorities to set up an extensive series of studies designed primarily to fit the needs of the working man.
Graduate in Pacific Asks for Text Book On Tax Accounting
Today we are receiving all sorts of requests from various organizations to save our old magazines and other forms of recreational reading material. "Fass on your Post" has become a popular slogan of the weekly favorite; and everyone is sending the latest "Barefoot Boy With Cheek" to cheer up someone overseas.
But there's one ensign on a PT boat somewhere in the South Pacific who has an eye focused on the future, and who has no time for such trivial publications—he is spending his leisure time on a subject that almost every business student spends his leisure time trying to forget—TAX ACCOUNTING!
Dean F. T. Stockton has complied with the Business School graduate's request for a good tax accounting book, and has sent him the best available text on the subject plus one dollar in change.
"Although it's an unusual request," exclaimed the Dean, "it might be a diversion from the type of thing those boys are seeing and doing." "At least," he continued, "I'm glad to see that he's not letting down on the real profession he will be interested in after the war."
Alpha Delta Pi has announced the engagement of Helen Maxine Pringle, Wichita, to Lt. S. F. Parzybok, Jr., Vinton, Iowa. Miss Pringle is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth W. Pringle, and Lt. Parzybok is the son of Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Parzybok.
Grad's Engagement Announced by AD Pi
Miss Pringle was graduated from the University in 1943. She was a member of Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa. Lieutenant Parzybok attended the University of Iowa and was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He is a graduate of Grinnell College. Iowa, and is now stationed at Ft. Stil, Okla.
The wedding will take place in early March.
Students Determine Future of Work Adviser Maintains
"The willingness of students to accept jobs when they can, and the performance of students once they have a job, will determine the future of that job for students after the war," said Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser of women, in an appeal for more students to relieve the manpower situation.
Miss Miller turns down three or four calls each day from people asking for students who want to work. Since the beginning of the semester she has filled about 270 vacancies both on the campus and down town. This does not include the jobs that students get on their own.
"Since the women students have filled so many men's positions, there has been an ever-increasing demand for more persons to work. High school students are even helping with the University food service this year," said Miss Miller.
Miss Miller said there are jobs for everyone interested, even for as little time as two hours a day, but warned against a student's accepting a job when he is carrying too heavy a program.
"Twenty-four hour jobs are worse than nothing." Miss Miller said.

Comedy Rules the Air With Hope-Benny Leading
Comedy reigns again as the most important radio entertainment in the eyes of the nation's radio editors and writers, according to balloting in the seventh annual poll conducted by Radio Daily, the national daily newspaper of commercial radio and television. Bob Hope's Pepsident program won first honor's in the "commercial programs" classification, receiving 504 votes out of a possible 1200. Five other comedy programs were ranked among the top 10, indicating that comedians and comedy shows are the most popular with wartime listeners.
In the breakdown of the winners in the commercial programs, Jack Benny's Grape-Nut Flakes show rose from fourth position last year to second place in the 1943 poll. Bing Crosby (Kraft Music Hall) gained third position, and "Information Please" took fourth place. Radio Daily list of the top 10 includes Fibber McGee and Molly, Edgar Bergen (Chase and Sanborn Hour), Ed Gardner (Duffy's Tavern), Lux Radio Theater, Lower Basin Street, and New York Philharmonic Symphony.
Two of radio's perennial favorites, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, are undoubtedly the shining stars of the poll. Tabulation of the ballots in the "entertainers" classification resulted in Crosby topping his old playmate, Hope, by a small margin, with Jack Benny coming in third. Hope was top man in this classification last year. Other personalities in the "entertainers" division were Edgar Bergen, Fred Allen, Fibber McGee and Molly, Ed Gardner, Kate Smith, Red Skelton, and Kay Kyser.
Bob Hope romped away with first honors among the comedians, Second place went to Jack Benny and third to Fred Allen. A newcomer in this field was Ed Gardner of Duffy's Tavern fame, who gained fourth position in the 1943 poll.
Harry James was voted the undisputed leader in the swing dance band group, with Benny Goodman in second position. Duke Ellington rose from seventh position last year to fourth this year. Tommy Dorsey was third in the balloting, retaining the same position he had in the 1942 poll.
In the "sweet" band group, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians came out first. Sammy Kaye was second; Fred Waring was third; and
Wayne King, who has been a captain in the army for a year, ranked fourth.
Frank Sinatra, king of swoon, who ranked second in the popular vocalist group among the male singers, failed to give Bing Crosby a stiff battle in that classification. Bing came through as No. 1 cooner, polling nearly double the number of votes registered for Sinatra. Dinah Shore lead the popular female vocalist field, with Kate Smith and Ginny Simms, second and third respectively.
Voting for news commentators brought Raymon Gram Swing to the top, H. V. Kaltenborn, a close second, and Fulton Lewis, Jr., ranking third. Bill Stern, last year's winner, again took top honors among the sportscasters. Ted Husing placed in second position and Red Barber in third.
"American School of the Air" won first position in the "educational series" classification. Following closely as number two in the balleting was "University of Chicago Roundtable." Third place went to "America's Town Meeting of the Air." The surprise upset of the poll, according to Radio Daily, was the "Quiz Kids" victory over "Information Please" in voting under the "quiz shows" classification. "Take It or LaVe It" ranked third.
Keen competition for first honors in the "children's shows" division developed in the poll, with a tie vote for first place. The winners were "The Lone Ranger" and "Let's Pretend," both receiving a vote of 402. "Lux Radio Theater" was an easy winner among the "dramatic shows," while "One Man's Family" won first honors in the "dramatic serials" group.
Radio Daily noted a growing interest in symphony music in this year's poll. The New York Philharmonic Symphony won first place, and heavy voting was registered for the NBC Symphony and Boston Symphony which ranked second and third in the voting.
Arturo Tosecanini lead the field of symphony conductors. He received double the number of votes cast for his nearest competitor, Leopold Stokowski. Lily Pons passed Gladys Swarthout and won first place in

KUTakes No.2 Of Big Six Play From K-State
The Kansas Jayhawks rang up Big Six victory number two last night as they downed a fighting Kansas State Wildcat outfit, 36 to 30. The Jayhawks are now ready to take on the Oklahoma Sooners here Friday night in a crucial conference duel—a victory will keep the Jayhawks in the running whereas a loss will very nearly eliminate them.
With the score tied 16-all at the half, the Jayhawkers came back in the second half under the leadership of Charles Moffett, their high scoring center, to win. To make matters worse for the Allen-coached quintet, it lost two of its starters, forward Don Barrington and Capt. Sparky McSpadden, on fouls in the second half.
The defending champion Jayhawks, however, had more than enough trouble from K-State's young, civilian team. It was a battle all the way with the score tied at the half. The Aggies drew within four points with only a minute remaining.
X. U. Loses Early Lead
The Jayhawks got off to an early lead which didn't last long as the Wildcats tied the score at 5-all at the 4-minute mark. The Jayhawkrs found themselves quickly again, however, and were on the long end of a 13 to 7 count at the mid-mark of the period.
The Wildcats began to get their basket eyes at that point and led by Lee Doyen, guard, were able to pull even by half-time while holding the Jayhawkers to one free throw in the last six minutes of the half.
Wildcats in a Rally
After half-time it was Kansas all the way for about the first seven minutes as Moffett led the Jayhawks to push the score to 27-17.
The Wildcats began gradually to work back, however, with Myron Foveaux, substitute forward, showing the way with a pair of long ones and reduced the Kansas lead to five points with eight minutes left to go.
With about a minute left the score stood 34-30 in favor of the Jayhawkers. The Wildcats had the ball but were missing their shots. Then the Jayhawkers got control and Don Diehl, substitute guard, hipped in a field goal in the last fifteen seconds to give the Jayhawkers their victory margin.
Moffett's 17 points shot him to the

You just can't tell about these teams. Kansas defeats Nebraska 24 points, 51 to 27, and two days later Oklahoma defeats the same team minus two regulars on their own court only 10 points, 45 to 35. Then Oklahoma uses three teams in mapping up Kansas State 33 points, 61 to 28, while the Jayhawks last night had to go all out to down their fight- state rivals only six points, 36 to 30. Dope will mean nothing Friday night; it will be the team that fights the hardest and wants to win the most that will emerge victorious.
Two Games in Two Nights
Two Games in Two Nights Just as soon as they finish their battle here Friday night, the Sooners will have to leave for Manhattan where they take on K-State in a return game Saturday night. These double-header weekends on foreign courts place the visiting team at a disadvantage. Kansas has been fortunate in having their schedule so arranged that they will not have to play conference games on successive nights.
A Live Wire!
Kansas State's youthful mentor Cliff Rock, is not going to let anybody run over him. Last night when Sparky McSpadden scooped in a long bucket just after the half time gun was supposed to go off (it didn't) Rock jumped out like a kangaroo, waving his arms that the goal didn't count. Naturally, it wouldn't have anyway, but Rock saw to it that no one at the scorer's table might think otherwise. Recently in Kansas City, Rock argued heatedly with the officials and Dr. Allen about the latter's wanting to use a leather ball in the last half rather than the rubber one. That's the way the custom had always been on neutral courts—the
top of the conference individual scoring race. Moffett, with 44 points in three games, ranks above Sooners Paine and Ramsey who have 43 and 40 points in three contests. Moffett's average is 14.6 points per game.
Don Barrington, who has been benched since the Missouri encounter, played a whale of a game last night. He was a work horse under both baskets, getting most of the rebounds. Duck also came up with seven points.
Lou Goehring, starting his first game after being on restriction for over a month, turned in a fine performance. Homer Sherwood hit a couple from way out just as he did against Nebraska. McSpadden scored three points, Goehring two, and Diehl two.
Others seeing action for Kansas were Corder, Lindquist, Turner, Palmer, and Stucker.

opposing teams get their choice of ball for each half.
Blow that Whistle Loud, Ref! Dr. Allen says he's seen everything now. Last night Referee Hogue was watching Jayhawk Moffett, who had possession of the ball; all of a sudden let out a little "phoot" on his whistle which was hardly audible. Naturally, play stopped—so the ref had to call something. So he called (after a second's thought) a foul on the K-State defensive man who brushed against Moffett in moving in for the ball.
They may call him "Homo" or "Silent Yokum," but Homer Sherwood, low-built former Ark City Juco, can really hit the long two handed set shots. Just let him get set and he'll swish 'em every time. Against both Nebraska and K-State, Sherwood split the net on his first two long attempts in each game.

Riggs to Discuss Mammal Development
Mr. Riggs spent four years in South America. He conducted two expeditions for the purpose of studying and making collections of fossil mammals there.
South America as a center of mammalian development will be the subject Elmer S. Riggs, honorary curator of vertebrate paleontology at Dyche museum, will discuss before members of Sigma Xi, Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Blake hall.
In South America are seven orders of mammals not found any place else in the world. At the time the fossils were deposited, it is probable that South America was an island continent.
Mr. Riggs will illustrate his lecture with colored slides. The meeting is open to all who are interested.
Discharge Pay Raise Rejected
Washington, (INS) — The house, giving every indication it favored a $300 ceiling on soldier discharge pay, overwhelmingly rejected today a counter-proposal which would have raised the limit to $1,100 by a vote of 113 to 19. The membership defeated a proposal by Representative Toleser (Rep., Mo) which would have kept discharged servicemen on the government payroll at $60 a month for a year or until they had obtained private employment.

WAC Officials Recruit on Hill For Air Branch
In response to a call by General Arnold for 100,000 Air WACs needed in the air forces during 1944, a mobile recruiting unit consisting of a large silver-painted truck and trailer came to Lawrence yesterday and will remain until tomorrow. This office on wheels is touring the Second Congressional district in an effort to distribute information about the Air WACs. Officials said that Kansas has fewer recruits per capita in the women's services than any other state in the Union.
Prospective Air WACs are being given rides in a Tailorcraft Laison plane Sunday morning. The plane is attached to the Lawrence CAP squadron.
The Air Force and Air WAC personnel who are here are lt. Mark G. Treat, captain of the Air WAC Recruiting team and veteran of the South Pacific, who told of his experiences in a speech in Fraser hall last month; Staff Sgt. Benjamin Martin, who holds an air medal for merit service in action, was flight engineer on a B-24 that figured in the battles of Kiska and Attu and saw a year of action in the Alaskan and Russian theatres; Air WAC Lt. Alice Peckner, and Air WAC Pfc. Evelyn Leasure.
Corp. Walter Avery, public relations representative from the Air WAC recruiting office in Kansas City, said that University women interested in enlisting in the Air

American Legion Head Says Strikers Guilty of Trcason
'New York, (INS) — The current head of a national organization of the 'men who fought the last war bluntly charged the nation's strikers with treason in this one. Speaking at a testimonial luncheon in New York City, Warren Atherton, national commander of the American Legion, asserted "treason is lending aid and comfort to the enemy. The loss of planes and ships through work stoppage is aiding and comforting Hitler. That's why it's treason."
Ens. Gilbert Reports To Navy School Here
Ens. Marion L. Gilbert, the third Wave to report for duty at the Naval Training school here, will arrive Monday from Boston, Mass.
Ensign Gilbert received a bachelor of science degree in business administration and in Spanish from Sirmons College, Boston in 1939. She entered the WAVEs in June, 1943. She received her two months indoctrination training at Mt. Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass.
After receiving her commission, she spent two months in temporary duty at the Boston Navy yards in the purchasing department and was then sent to the Navy Supply Corps school, Radcliffe College from Oct. 1 to Jan. 10.
Ensign Gilbert, while on duty here will serve in the supply and disbursing office of the Naval Training school.
University's Scrap Paper Judged 4-F
It may be that "waste paper will win the war," but the University's scrap heap is 4-F, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of the building and grounds department
Although during the current scrap drive there is a fair market for paper collected, in normal times, and even in "normal" war times, the building and grounds department finds it almost impossible to dispose of refuse acquired from class rooms and work shops.
"It seems strange to me," Mr. Bayles said, "when civilians are trying so hard to save every piece of paper, that the government is not able to use the paper when available in large quantities. More paper is collected here in one day than any family in Lawrence would be able to save in an entire month, yet the University's scrap is not salable to local dealers." The greater part of the refuse is burned.
What paper is sold is first packed into 100-pound bundles by bailing machines which are located in nearly all University buildings. Sale price of the bales varies according to its classification as newsprint, carton material (corrategated), or average (mixed paper). Mr. Bayles believed that about $15 to $20 is turned in each week from the sale of waste paper.
Money received from scrap disposal is added to a general repair fund. Scrap contributed by the ASTP unit is sold by the University, and profits are placed in the ASTP mess fund.
CVC Arranges Party To Sell War Stamps
The CVC, working with the Union. activities committee, is planning a War Bond party from 9 to 12 Feb. 12, to promote the fourth war loan drive. The party will be held in the Military Science building.

Stimson Reports Vast Destruction Of Nazi Plant
(International News Service)
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson at his weekly news conference devoted much of his war summary to details of the recent devastating American daylight attack against aircraft production centers in Brunswick, Halberstadt, and Oschersleben in the Berlin area.
Twelve hundred planes were used in this gigantic assault which cost 60 American bombers and five fighters, Secretary Stimson said. But to this he added, "Production at these plants is likely to be wiped out for months."
The Messerchmitt plant at Brunswick was almost totally wiped out and the Junkers factory at Halberstadt was estimated from 40 to 70 per cent destroyed.
The Focke-Wulf plant at Oscher-sleben "probably was almost totally destroyed," Stimson said.
"Additional reports on the American air raid on German aircraft factories," Stimson said, "indicate the victory was even greater than at first announced."
Germans Abandon Minturno in Italy, Novgorod in Russia
(International News Service)
Two more bitterly-contested key points on widely-separated fronts were abandoned by the hard-pressed German army today amid mounting indications of a new and major Nazi disaster in the Leningrad sector of Soviet Russia.
Minturgo on the western sector of the Italian front and the ancient city of Novgorod, for centuries Russia's principal outlet to Europe, were given up by the enemy in the face of steadily increasing pressure by United Nations' forces.
The possibility of a Nazi collapse at both points seemed imminent. Novgorod straddles an important railway line running from the Soviet capital to the south. There was no question that the Germans defended Novgorod with all they had, but this was insufficient to combat the strength of Russia's eight offensive in as many weeks.
The signal successes of Premier Marshal Joseph Stalin's latest sustained offensive was credited in a large measure to the overwhelming superiority of the Soviet air force. The once unparalleled German air force was unable to cope with the assault or retaliate in strength.
Another Union Canteen dance sponsored by the Union building activities committee will be held from 3 to 5 Saturday afternoon in the Union lounge. All civilian and service men with activity tickets will be admitted free.

Airport Plan Killed Since CAA Cancelled
The plan to improve the Lawrence municipal airport by building a new hangar and resurfacing the runways has been dropped. William A. Ong, present lease of the airport, has withdrawn his offer of $6,000 as his share in the three-way split of expenses. The University and the city were the other members of the proposed project.
Mr. Ong's attorney has stated that the offer was withdrawn because of the future curtailment of the CAA-WTS program here and because the city is not willing to absorb the interest on the money, said Clarence Gorrill, city attorney.
Four Victory Speakers, former students of the Lawrence High School, will give talks on Tuesday and Friday of next week in the high school auditorium, Prof. E. C. Buehler of the speech department announced today.
LHS Alumni Victory Speakers
Howard Sutherland and William Hough will take part in the program on Tuesday, which will be in connection with the Fourth Bond Drive. Sutherland's topic will be "Music in War," and Hough will talk on "Antiaircraft in War."
Robert Stockton and Richard Stutz will speak in the assembly on Friday. "Traditions of the Navy" will be Stockton's topic, and "German Airplanes" will be Stutz's subject.
Monday, January 31, a group of Victory Speakers will present a program at the local Rotary club. The students who will participate have not yet been selected, said Professor Buehler.
Abbitt Asks Donors To Go 'Over Top'
The Victory Speakers are a group of University students organized by Professor Buehler to bring to the public pertinent information pertaining to the war effort. The plan, according to Professor Buehler, is to discuss some phase of the war or post-war plans. It is not a debate, said Professor Buehler; the students will merely present the information.
"Over the Top on Tuesday" is the slogan chosen by Josephine Abitt, leader of the campaign to secure University student blood donors, for the Red Cross service, which arrives in Lawrence on Feb. 3 and 4.
"At least 75 per cent of the members of each house is our goal, and perhaps even more than that will want to take this opportunity toward winning the war," said Miss Abbitt.
University volunteers may register in person at the Watkins Memorial hospital on the afternoon of Jan. 25, and, after that, they may register by telephone at the Community building, she added.

CVC to Launch 4th Loan Drive On Hill Fridav
In cooperation with the Fourth War Loan which started Tuesday all over the nation, the Coed Volunteer Corps will launch its drive on the Hill tomorrow and will have tooths in the Union building, the library, and in the center of Frank Strong hall. Betty Jo O'Neal, major in the CVC announced today. The drive will continue for three weeks and will be climaxed by a Bond Dance held in the new Military Science building.
Miss O'Neal said that the slogan of this campaign is "An Extra Bond" and stated that it was the intention of the CVC to raise $5,000, the cost of a plane rearming boat. Students would also welcome faculty members purchasing their bonds here instead of through solicitors of their homes, Miss O'Neal said.
Betty Leibbrand, Shirley Kelley, and Patricia Scherrer have charge of the booths on the campus. In addition to selling here, the CVC will have members selling stamps and bonds at the Jayhawker and Granada theaters from 6:45 to 9:00 each evening until the drive ends Feb.12. This is done in cooperation with S.E Schwahn, manager of the theaters, who is giving a free ticket with bond purchased at the theater. He has placed there the pictures of Hitler and Hirohito and as each person makes his war loan purchase, he signs his name on a section of the picture. The object is to black the picture out.
Admission to the dance which will close the drive will be a war stamp in any denomination. However, with each 25 cent stamp, the purchaser will get a chance on a war bond which the CVC will give away at the dance. The CVC and the Union activities committee are jointly sponsoring the dance.
A visiting party of three officers from the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Washington, D. C., conferred with local V-12 officers and University co-ordinator today to strengthen the administrative liaison of this and other V-12 units.
Navy Officers Confer To Weld V-12 Units
The party, composed of Lt. Com. C. M. Farrington, Lt. Mode L. Stone, and Lt. Phil B. Narmore, arrived at the University yesterday afternoon and were quartered in PT's 5. 6, and 8 last night, Lt. C. A. Mieleman, assistant commanding officer of V-12, stated.
Lt. Com, C. M. Farrington held discussions with Ensign Ware concerning the physical training and instruction given to V-12 trainees, while Lieutenant Stane and Libutenant Narmore, accompanied by Lt. C. A. Michelman and Dr. Leonard H. Axe, University director of V-12, conferred with deans and instructors of the University and inspected housing units.
Bond Quota Remains Same
The quota for the Fourth War Loan drive at the University of Minnesota has been set at last year's total of $36,700.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
American Musicians Should Be Recognized
When Karl Kreuger, conductor of the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra for many years, recently accepted a similar position with the Detroit Philharmonic, the attention of music-lovers throughout the nation was directed to the fact that Kreuger is the only native-born American orchestra director in the field of top-flight civic musical organizations of this nation today.
Why this should be true is a question which is puzzling music authorities and causing widespread comment in musical societies over the country. Although it is true that European artists have a musical background extending over centuries and many of them number the great masters among their immediate ancestors, American musicians have been provided with equal or even greater and more abundant opportunities and facilities for developing their talents.
During the past decade or two, public schools in every state in the union have incorporated an extensive music program into their curriculum, have sponsored local, regional and national music contests which draw thousands of young musicians together annually to play under some of the best conductors in the country. They have provided the use of school-owned instruments free of charge to any student who is interested in studying with one. With all these advantages, in addition to the wealth of musical lore from the old world which they have at their command, well-trained American musicians are climbing to the top in their field and excelling over many of the foreign artists. Now, the only obstacle left to overcome is that of convincing their sponsors and the public that there is no magic in a foreign name—that music can be of just as good a quality when it is produced by an American.
Such cases as the hiring of Alex Murray, Californian violinist, to fill the position of concertmaster with the Kansas City Philharmonic, thus replacing Orlando Barena, who recently entered the armed services of this country, may be the turning point in this trend toward Americanism in music. The dearth of foreign musicians which have been unavailable for employment since the war began, may have had an effect on this trend. From now on perhaps it will be easier to overcome the prejudice against skilled artists among our own fellow-citizens. It is about time for America to step into her own and assume her rightful position as a leader in the musical circles of the world.
Ateneo to Meet Today In Frank Strong Hall
"Atenoe," the Spanish club, will meet today at 4:30 in Frank Strong hall, room 113, according to Louise Hatch, secretary-treasurer.
The program will consist of poems to be given in Spanish, then translated. Fifteen students in Miss Mae Gardner's Spanish V class will present the poems.
CVC Will Plan Bond Drive At Meeting This Afternoon
Plans for sponsoring the bond drive on the hill will be discussed at a meeting of the Coed Volunteer Corps at their meeting at 4:30 in Fraser hall this afternoon, according to Betty Jo O'Neal, major in the CVC.

Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA HEDRICK
Bob Scalzo, of Seattle (and now at home in PT3), tops the list on crash-landings. After he gave an order to "right flank" in front of Marvin hall, a loud thump reverberated along the street. Upon looking back, the boys in the ranks discovered all 6 feet 3 inches of their admirable leader stretched flat upon the pavement. To add insult to injury, this debacle was witnessed by cheering AST's.
Something new was almost added to headquarters: Six inches closer, and Theta Patsy Clifford might have been minus a vital part of her contour (That which is otherwise known as the cerebellum). A light fixture in Fraser halI suddenly and quite unexpectedly came loose from its mooring and hit her desk with a loud crash.

What's up on the lowdown: Anonymity of names is necessary, but this shows that "unusual" times are still had in Kansas City. A K.U. miss went to wholesale market in the city recently, with her aunt. Coming home from a show one night, she met a sorority sister and her brother.
YWCA Plans Fund For Postwar Study
Plans for raising a postwar fund for servicemen and needy students are being made by the YWCA, with the approval of the Chancellor and with the cooperation of other organizations on the Hill, Virginia Stephenson, of the YWCA post war commission, announced today.
Eugenia Hepworth, chairman of the YWCA social committee, is working with the postwar commission toward giving a party to raise money to pay for initial expenses of launching a campaign for the fund. Money received through the party will be devoted to sending out letters to alumni, describing the fund and asking for contributions.
"By devoting our efforts to a fund of this kind, we students hope to answer the accusations of many people saying that we are not aware of the war and of the problems it will create." Miss Stevenson said.
The present indefiniteness of government plans for financing the education of servicemen after the war is one of the reasons behind the campaign. In case the government does provide adequately for servicemen who wish to continue their education, more of the money raised will be available to assist other students in need of financial aid. Particular reference has been made to students who have accelerated their program because of the war and have been unable to work summers and save money.
The University Club will give a bridge dinner at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening in the Colonial Tea room. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Hanna and Mr. and Mrs. George March are in charge of reservations.
The fund will be a terminable one, and awards will be handled by a scholarship committee of students and faculty members.

Fumigation Originated in 473 B.C.
Fumigation was originated in 473 B.C., by Acron, a Greek physician, who burned aromatics in great fires.
Big brother, an M.U. Phi Delt in years past, and now a Marine Lieutenant, decided to show the girls the town (rongher side), and they eventually ended up in a spot on Highway 40. After vocalizing with the band and meeting a few colorful characters, Miss X suddenly remembered her girl waiting for her in a downtown hotel.
By this time, the harried aunt had sent an SOS to the police . . . and so the threesome beat a hasty route to the station to explain. Too late, for by this time, all K.C. police were on the lookout for the wandering footsteps of Miss X with the light brown hair. The time of her arrival back in the hotel is censored, the language of the police force is censored, and the aunt got pneumonia. 'Nuff said.
After the cooks quit on a minute's notice, Alpha Chi's wondered where their next meal was coming from. To the rescue came all of the home ec majors in the house, who are working split-second operations. Barbara Hall, Martha Brody, Gay Richards, and Betty Ann Hopkins were the chefs, par excellence, for the first home-talent meal.
Four senior home economic majors, who will take the army dietition test Wednesday are Frances Raw, Margaret Schel, Phyllis Wickert, and Josephine Woolverton.

Miss McKenzie attended the University last year. She was a member of Gamma Phi Beta.
Neale attended the University of Missouri prior to his enlistment in the navy.
WAC OFFICIALS---
(continued from page one) WACs would be given the opportunity to interview the recruiting officers and also to take the mental examination.
"University women," Corp. Avery said, "would probably be interested to know that after a five-weeks' basic training, Air WACs are eligible to apply for Officers Candidate School." He said women with college backgrounds make up a high proportion of WAC officers, and former college students who have acquired leadership qualities on the campus make 'good material for Officers Candidate School.'
Corp. Avery also stated that if the person does not wish to take or can not qualify for Officers Candidate School, she is sent from Ft. Des Moines, where she takes basic training, to some special school for further training, or is sent directly for training on a job. At Army Air Force training stations and air bases Air WACs direct plane traffic, maintain flight logs and weather records, repair precision instruments and airplane electrical circuits, handle photographic film, and plot maps. They serve as laboratory technicians, test plane radios and synchronize propellers. Some of them are Link Trainer operators, teaching pilots to fly by instrument.
Air WACs take training to become tower operators, telegraph operators, radio operators, and maintenance workers, he explained. They may go on foreign duty and some are now serving in England, Africa and Italy.

First Mixer Held By WEC in Union
Approximately 300 University women attended the first of a series of mixers sponsored by the Women's Executive Council, Margaret Schell, chairman of the mixer, announced today. The mixer was held from 3 to 5 yesterday afternoon in the Union building.
"I think it was very much a success," commented Miss Schell. "It was more informal than the WSGA mixers of former years and gave the girls an opportunity to meet and know other girls on the campus."
This first mixer was sponsored by five organized houses, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, Jolliffe hall, Delta Sigma Theta, and Alpha Omicron Pi.
The program, which began at 4 p.m., included Betty Jo Every and Elizabeth Smith, vocalists; and Yvonne Alston, pianist. The mixers will be given every third Wednesday afternoon of the month in the Union building with different groups sponsoring the entertainment. All University women are invited, Miss Schell announced.

SHIRTS
The Student Statewide Activities Commission met yesterday and planned for the year's program. This organization is composed of student representatives, one from each Kansas county, selected for their ability as leaders.
The purpose of the organization is to spread good will and knowledge of the University of Kansas in the "home towns," Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, explained. Mr. Ellsworth conducted the meeting in the absence of Patsy Piller, chairman of the county club.
If you want to be sure the flannel shirt you get is the finest quality, look for the McGregor label. It's your guarantee that your shirt has been cut for action and will give you warmth, satisfaction, and long service.
Duties of the county chairman are to hold meetings and social events with the students from their county. Each chairman selected a student from his county to act as a correspondent. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the year for the best scrapbooks kept by the correspondents.
It was suggested that the county chairmen send University calendars and other K.U. bulletins to home town schools and libraries to create interest in the University.

Phi Gam, Blank
Phi Delt, Beta
Teams Best
It looks like the Phi Gams and Blanks in the A League and the Phi Delts and Betas in the B League in men's intramural basketball.
The two supposed best teams—the Phi Gams and Blanks—really had it out Tuesday night after the K-State game, with the Fijis finally winning by a photo finish, 25 to 24. "Red" Stucker was the big cog in the Phi Gam attack, scoring nine points to lead his team to victory. He was given support by Hartigan with five, and Whittenberger, who had four points, Eugene Smith took over scoring chores for the Blanks, scoring 12 points, high for the game. Manager Nelson, who fouled out, counted four points, as did Stannard.
Phi Psi's Double Score
The Phi Psi's, weakened with the absence of E. Pyle, trounced the hapless TKE's, 20 to 10. Bill Chestnut, the place kicker of football fame, had a big night, throwing in 10 points for high honors. Chestnut also manages the Phi Psi team.
Last night the Phi Gams, strengthened with the addition of Warren Riegle, end on the football team, looked unimpressive in handing an outmatned Delt队 a 31 to 21 defeat. Everyone of the Fijis had at least high school experience, while only two of the losers had even rated berths on their high school fives; yet the Delts trailed only five points at third quarter mark, and at one time in the final canto were only three points behind. Neff scored 11 points and Whittenberger 10 for the Phi Gams, while Hall with seven and Koehn with six were high for the Delts.
Betas Trounce Carruth
It was all Beta in the Beta-Carruth B-League contest, which the Beta's won, 40 to 14. Kerschner with nine, L Chase with eight, Johnson with eight, Mowery with six, and Stewart with six were high for the victors.
The Phi Delts triumphed twice during the week, whipping a not-too-strong Battenfeld team only 24 to 15 and lassoing the Sigma Nu's, 28 to 17. In the former encounter Menzie paced the Phi Delt's with 13 points, while Jones and Aschcraft each counted six for Battenfeld. Samuel scored 13 points and Huebert eight for the Phi Delts against Sigma Nu, with Stewart scoring 12 of the loser's 17 points. The Phi Delts will not come out on top with the quintet they are now using, but should they call on the service of brothers Kirk Scott and Clay Hedrick, they would be a mighty rugged outfit.
The University of Rio de Janeiro, now the University of Brazil, was founded in 1920.
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Phog Allen says, "We'll give 'em a battle," in speaking of tomorrow night's crucial game with Oklahoma. He says we'll win if Oklahoma plays like they did against Nebraska and we will lose if we play like we did against Kansas State. He states that the Sooners have the better team, and with their more experienced players should be doped to win by 10 points. However, the Drake "youngsters" are claiming to be just every bit as green as Kansas is with only Capt. Allie Paine having had previous varsity collegiate experience. Paine is a three-year man and was all-Big Six last year.
* *
Untested on Road
The Sooners, holding victories at home over conference rivals Missouri, Kansas State, and Nebraska, are untested on the road. Playing two away this weekend should be a good test as to just how much the visiting Sooners will be at a disadvantage.
☆ ☆ ☆
A“Homer” League
The Big Six conference has nearly always been a "homer" league. The ultimate in this was reached in 1939 when road teams won only five of the season's thirty games, the home team triumphing in 20 of the first 21. Last year the visiting team won only twelve of thirty times with Iowa State and Kansas State failing to scratch away from Ames and Manhattan.
Sooners Coming Along Fast
The Sooners have triumphed in nine of their 13 games this season, losing only four. They have cruised along with a 50-point average to opponent's 31. The Sooners have won 8 of their last 9 games, losing only to the towering Oklahoma Aggies, 40 to 59. Early season losses were to Southern Methodist, 37 to 41, Norman NAS Zosmers, 29 to 51, and the Norman NATTC Skyjackets, 30 to 42. The Sooners, winners of the recent Oklahoma City invitational tournament, have twice beaten the Zoomers, the only team that has defeated Oklahoma A & M and they have twice.

Navy Plays Flyers Return Game Tonight
The University Naval Training School basketball team will meet the Fort Leavenworth Flyers at Leavenworth tonight in a return game.
The local team lost to the Flyers here early in December, 23 to 35, but Coach Hantze then had an all-together different crew. This time he will also have the service of members of the V-12 team in the community league, and should be able to present a potent outfit. Two giant V-12's, Ed "Curly" Pyle, former Mackville High star, and Herb Heim, Leavenworth, should give the navy sufficient height advantage to control the rebounds.
The Flyers defeated the Olathe Clippers in the latter's first game of the season. It is the only loss on the Olathe slate in twelve contests. The KU. varsity holds a victory over the Flyers, who are paced by Tilberg of Bethany. The Jayhawks won early in December here only 31 to 27.

Concert Monday Will Feature Wagner, Strauss
Turning to such masters of symphony as Wagner, Strauss, Bruch and Franck, the University Symphony orchestra will again appear in public concert at Hoch auditorium at 8 p.m. Monday.
After the playing of the Star-
Spangled Banner, the orchestra will go at once into Wagner's overture to "Die Meistersinger," the great comic opera which the noted composer wrote soon after "Tannhauser."
With Miss Barbara Huls, as violinist, the "Concerto in G Minor" (Max Bruch), embodying its "allegro moderato" and "adagio," will be played as a third number.
"Siegfried Iydyll" (Wagner) and "Tales from the Vienna Woods" ('Straus') will move the program towards a climax and the entertainment ends with the "Symphony in D Minor" (Franck).
"Siegfried Idyll" was written as birthday greeting to Wagner's wife, whereas Strauss "Tales from the jenna Woods" had its inception from the author's woodland strolls.
B-17's Bomb Berlin As Japs Lose Ships And Germans Retreat
(International News Service)
American B-17 fortresses led the new daylight attack upon the Continent paced by speedy British and U.S. fighter and bombing planes. It was the 105th Allied raid upon the German capital since the war began, and the 11th since the RAF and U.S. Eighth army air force teamed up in a joint campaign to blast Berlin off the map. Two-thirds of Berlin already has been reported in rubble. More than 2,200 tons of bombs were dropped on the gutted capital, starting gigantic fires that were visible hundreds of miles away. Thirty-five British bombers were lost in the undertaking.
In the Pacific a lone submersible venturing into the Malacca straits between Malaya and Singapore sent two torpedoes into the hull of a 1,500-ton Japanese cruiser and sank it. Three other Japanese merchant ships, including one carrying munitions, were sunk by American bombing planes.
In Washington the navy announced today that American long-range submarines have sunk 12 more Japanese supply ships in forays throughout the Pacific and Far East.
On the Italian front British, Canadian and American troops flanked by veteran French forces pushed steadily ahead along the southern approaches to Rome.
Dispatches from Moscow predicted "complete disaster" for some 300,- 000 Germans on the Leningrad front, where Soviet forces pushed ahead following the capture of Novgorod.

Cold May Keep 'Phog' From Game
History will be repeated if Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen is not able to be with his team tonight as they meet their greatest basketball foe, the Oklahoma Sooners of Bruce Drake.
After not feeling well yesterday, Dr. Allen developed a temperature of 102 last night. He has been in bed all day with a bad cold and possibly influenza. His temperature however, has been going down.
Should Dr. Allen not be able to make tonight's game, his son, Milton, will take charge of the team.
The last time Dr. Allen missed a game was in 1934, and as on this occasion it was against Oklahoma here and at about the same time of year. He had an attack of influenza then, too. His assistant, Frosty Cox, now at Colorado, took charge of the team. The Kansas team defeated the Sooners the first night here, 33 to 26, in a non-conference game. The game the second night was counted as a conference game, and the Jayhawkers won by an even larger score, 39 to 25. Dr. Allen missed both games.
The only other time Dr. Allen ever missed a game was in 1928, when John Bunn, who was assistant coach, took charge. Kansas won that game too.
Canuteson Appeals For Blood Donations
"Because of the demand for blood plasma, we are hoping that many more students will volunteer to give their blood when the donors' service visits Lawrence again in February," exclaimed Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, chairman of the donor committee for Douglas county and director of the University health service. "Only 75 persons contributed last time, and this number must be increased to meet the new quota," he added.
Those under 21 will be given a "release" blank, which must be signed by their parents before they are permitted to donate their blood. According to Dr. Canuteson, the blanks do not need to be presented until the donor comes to donate his blood, and he may register and make an appointment before having it signed.
Lt. Condr. Robert L. Flint, son of L' N. Flint, professor of journalism, arrived last night to spend several days in Lawrence. Accompanied by his wife and son, Bobby, he is en route from sea duty in the Pacific to Jacksonville, Fla., where he will be stationed.

The American Rhodes scholarships were suspended by the Rhodes trustees in September, 1939, as a result of the war. No new elections have been held, and it is not likely that any will be held until the war is over.
The "big game" has rolled around again. The Universities of Kansas and Oklahoma will resume their heated cage rivalry when the quintets of Dr. F. C. Allen and Bruce Drake take the floor against each other at 7:30 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
A huge throng is expected to jam the auditorium to see the game which is, as it has also been in recent years and is again the year, the high spot on the Jayhawk home schedule.
Kansas Is Underdog
Both teams annually have been fighting it out for Big Six conference honors, with Kansas usually coming out on top. This year is no exception as both teams were, with Iowa State, set up as pre-season favorites. However, this year Kansas is the underdog, with the Sooners having the edge.
This is the first clash between one of the supposed "first three." Both teams have had three Big Six contests. Oklahoma has downed Kansas State, 61 to 28, Missouri, 44 to 30, and Nebraska, 45 to 35. The Jayhawks were upset in their opening, losing to M.U., 28 to 35, only to bounce back and thrash Nebraska, 51 to 27, and win out over K-State, 36 to 30. Were it not for the comparative scores with Nebraska—14 points in Kansas' favor—the Jayhawks wouldn't even be given a look-in by the dopesters. Despite even the Nebraska score, the Sooners have been installed as 2 to 1 favorites.
Rivalry Is Hot
But dope means nothing in this rivalry. Ever since Coach Bruce Drake and his team walked into Hoch auditorium a couple of years ago at the same time "Phog" Allen was addressing a convocation audience and was making some not-too-complimentary remarks about

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
THE K ASC Busy Building Student Power
The All Student Council has been busy this year. As in every new organization, formation of by-laws and additions to the constitution must occupy a great deal of time. A workable and useful Council with real student power is the goal. Besides this kind of work, the Council finds time for other projects directly benefitting students.
The ASC has sponsored various drives this year, the most recent the one against tuberculosis. The Council appointed a committee to investigate discrimination against Negroes in musical activities, which resulted in a new Negro member of the band. The ASC is sponsoring activities for service men's wives at the Union building. Also, steps are being taken toward the establishment of a student cashing-checks bureau.
War-time conditions have prompted the Council into other actions. For example, the recent appointment of class officers took the place of the less expedient and always cumbersome election by the student body.
The ASC is advised by the Student Court, a body whose judicial power hasn't been determined. Faculty advisers on this court help students in working out their problems.
The ASC is forging ahead this year with projects and plans and is more active than student government has been in many years. The start of such an organization is difficult during a war, but the ASC hopes to have laid a solid foundation for future student government at the University after the war.
Letters to the Editor
I would like to say that the letter by Pvt. H. M. in Monday's Kansan was a fine job and I think he did a magnificent job of telling off the KU coeds. They shouldn't complain because in their interviews they asked for it.
I agree with Pvt. H. M. when he says that we coeds haven't endured or are enduring any hardships at all. We have practically all the same luxuries we had before and what's more important, we are able to continue our education. The latter I think is a valuable contribution to the war effort if it is used constructively.
The only point on which I disagree with Pvt. H. M. is that he classed all the KU coeds as being girls that "hardly know there is a terrible struggle on for survival." There are a large number of us coeds who are aware of this struggle. We think the women's auxiliaries are fine things and an admirable career for a girl to follow. We have born out these convictions by already enlisting; furthermore, we didn't enlist for the glamour of the uniform. We enlisted to do our part as American citizens. There are also a considerable number of girls seriously considering enlisting after graduation. Also, we don't feel that you have to wear a uniform to do your part. If, after graduation you secure a civilian job that is connected with the war effort, then you are doing all that can be expected of you.
Yes, Pvt. H. M., there are some of us coeds who really want to help you fellows, despite the impression given from the interviews in the Daily Kansan.-C.S., USNR.

The bride was dressed in a gown of white crepe de chine, with a floor-length skirt that lengthened into a slight train. The V-neckline and wrists of the sleeves were edged with narrow lace. She wore a tulle veil which, caught with a frill of the material banded in pearls, formed a train. Her bouquet was of white rosebuds with an orchid center.
Miss Ines Gretencord and Ervin Gretencord, sister and brother of the bride, attended the couple.
The bridesmaid's dress was of rose moire taffeta, fashioned after that of the bride's. She carried Talisman roses.
Following the ceremony, a reception was held at the Hearth.
After spending a week with relatives in this vicinity, the couple will leave for Riverside, Calif., where they will live.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1944
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
We're still sticking by the Jayhawks to come through with an upset over the Sooners tonight. Here are our reasons:
It will be the fightin'est team and the quintet with the greatest will to win that will come out on top—and we believe that the underdog Jayhawks can rise to the occasion just like their brothers of the gridiron did against Missouri, and win this most important of all basketball games. The Jayhawks will have another reason to come through tonight: their great coach, Phog Allen, has been sick all last night and today with the influenza and may not be able to make the game. To win for Doc should be reason enough. Phog has not missed a game since the Oklahoma game here in 1933, but the two times he was absent on account of sickness, his team won, and one of those was against Oklahoma in 1934.
Matching Player for Player
We also see the Jayhawks as having just as potent a five as the Sooners. If big, powerful Don Barrington, all fired up, can't take care of the 6-4 Ramsey, we'd like to see the man who can. Sparky McSpadden is our counter for the Sooner's great Allie Paine and we think the Jayhawk captain capable of coming through with as good a performance as the much publicized, all-Conference Paine. Moffett, leading the Big Six scorers, is just as good as Pryor, whose main threat was supposed to be his scoring ability. We also consider Lindquist and Gohring as the equals of Landon and Vaughn. Taughan was just a squadman last year for the Sooners, while Landon was the unheard of mate of Pryor at the forward berths for Capital Hill. Well, we'll see!
KANSAS AND---the Sooners. He is supported by Grover Ramsey, naval trainee from Oregon State's freshman team, who has scored 40 points in three conference games, three behind Paine. Ken Pryor, freshman forward from Oklahoma City Capital High, is being boosted as "the most sensational fresh star up from Oklahoma schools in years." The two other starters will be Jack Landon, freshman forward, who was Pryor's teammate last year, and Richard Vaughan, senior guard, a squadman last year. Paine is the only Sooner with previous varsity collegiate experience.
(continued from page one) Coach Drake and his school, spirit has run high.
Last year's ever-victorious Jay-
hawks trounced the Sooners twice—
48 to 44 at Norman, and 42 to 35
here. In the first game the Sooner's
all-Big Six guard, Allie Paine, held
the one-and-only Charley Black to
right points while gathering 13,
mostly long set shots, himself.

The situation is the same with Kansas as their hustling captain, "Sparky" McSpadden, is the only Jayhawk with former varsity experience. McSpadden stepped in last year when Black went out with pneumonia. In big Don "Duck" Barrington, Allen hopes he has the man that can take care of big Ramsey, the Sooners' main rebounder. Moffett Is Conference Leader
Charley Moffett, present conference high scorer with 44 points, will be given a real test tonight, as he will probably be guarded by Paine, who is said to be able to stay as close to you as a subpoena server. Allen can counter Pryor with a "hot shot" freshman of his own, Goo Lou Hringhe, who was second high scorer in the tough Ark Valley League last year, playing with Arkansas City. High scorer was Winfield's big Bob Brannum, currently setting the world on fire with the University of Kentucky, coached by Ad Rupp, another of Allen's former pupils. The other member of the Kansas quintet will be smoothworking Bill Lindquist, freshman at Creighton U., last year.
The Sooners are a traditional man-to-man team, but Coach Drake has been experimenting with a zone defense and may spring same on the Jayhawks tonight. He would have plenty of height and reach in Ramsey, 6-4, Vaughan, 6-3, and a 6-4 sub, Walt Flannigan, who may also see some action.
Navy Team Bows To Flyers 62-33
Finding the bucket from all over the court, the Fort Leavenworth Flyers defeated the University Naval Training School team 62-33 at Ft. Leavenworth last night.
Tilberg, former Bethany player, rested in the first half, but connected for 13 points in the second half to lead the scoring and increase the defeat of the Navy team. Koskela, MM, and Pyle, V-12 from Macksville, led the Navy scoring with 10 and 9 points respectively. Throughout the game, Pyle, looping the ball in with a pivot shot, suffered a "jinx", and the ball rolled off the rim continuously.
Both Pyle and Heim, giants of the navy team, were forced to guard loosely because of the abundance of fouls called on them in hair-line decisions. Each had three fouls when the gun sounded.
Stout Urges Bigger Breakfasts
Half-time score was 26-12, Flyers.
As a part of the school's campaign for more and better breakfasts, students at Stout Institute, Menomonie, Wis., were served milk and graham crackers for five cents at the school milk bar.
The main Sooner advantage should be their height and consequent rebound advantage. Allen has stated that this year's Kansas team is the poorest rebounding team he has ever seen. "Why," he says, "they don't even use what height they do have; rather than going up for the ball they seem to wait for it to fall in their hands." "It's like waiting to pick apples off the ground rather than to jump and reach for them," Allen facetiously comments.
Kansas hasn't lost to Oklahoma since Feb. 27, 1942 when the Drakemen went on a rampage and broke the conference scoring record by smashing Kansas at Norman, 63 to 51. In their long rivalry Kansas has won 33 games to Oklahoma's 16. However, since the formation of the Big Six in 1929, the Jayhawk's advantage stands at only 21 to 12.

Regardless of the one-sided score, 34-18, the game between the Kappa Alpha Thetas and the Alpha Chi Omegas was a good fast one. Peggy Davis, Theta, was hitting all through the game, scoring 20 points for her side. Kathryn O'Leary, Theta, was going strong during the entire game.
The biggest upset in the women's basketball tournament this season came about last night when Corbin hall defeated the Kappa Kappa Gammas, 20 to 15. This is the first game the Kappas have lost in the tournament. Close throughout the entire game, with plenty of fast movement, the players fought hard for the scores. Shirley Rhodes, Corbin, was high point woman, making 13 of the points for her team. Norma Jean Pyke, Corbin, and Margaret Lillard, Kappa, played exceptionally well.

In a roughhand-tumble game with 30 fouls, the Delta Gamma beat the Gamma Phis, 19-9. Three players were fouled out of the game. Marilyn Nigg, Delta Gamma, was high scorer with 9 points.
Another rough game was played between the Chi Omegas and the Pi Phis. The score was 25 to 10 in favor of the Chi Os. Thirteen fouls between the teams gave them both opportunity for a number of free throws.

It wasn't so simple, that job of removing the campus flagpole from in front of Fowler shops to Lindley hall, as workmen this morning discovered.

But by tomorrow the buildings and grounds department expects to have Old Glory flying at the new location.

Hill Bond Drive Not Up To Par, Says CVC Head
Student participation in the Fourth War Loan drive on the Hill, which was begun last Friday, has not lived up to expectations, Betty Jo O'Neal, major in the Cedo Volunteer Corps, said today.
The drive, under the auspices of CVC, has set a goal of $5000, the cost of a plane-rearming boat, and will continue for three weeks.
Faculty Purchase Most
Only a negligible amount of the total has been raised so far, Miss O'Neal said. Most of the bonds sold have been from faculty members who have shifted their place of purchase from downtown or district solicitors and have bought them instead from one of the student booths.
"Students will have to realize," said Miss O'Neal, "that they cannot contribute much to the war effort by merely purchasing defense stamps. They will have to dig down deep, or save a little here and there to really add to the Fourth War Loan by buying a war bond," she continued.
Sooths In Three Buildings
CVC booths have been located in the Union building, the library, and in the center of Frank Strong hall. In addition, CVC members are also selling stamps and bonds at the Jayhawker and Granada theaters each evening.
The bond drive will be ended by a Bond Dance in the new Military Science building, Feb. 12. The name of the orchestra will be announced later this week, said Miss O'Neal.
False Convocation Rumor Interferes with Classes
A false rumor of a convocation today caused a deluge of inquiries to the Chancellor's office. Teachers are reported to have postponed tests on the strength of the report. The Daily Kansan's announcement that the next convocation will be Feb. 21 is correct.
Allies Go Inland Approach Rome
(International News Service)
Latest field dispatches and communiques from the headquarters of Sir Henry Maitland-Wilson disclosed uninterrupted successes for the huge American and British amphibious which landed north of the Pontine marshes and drove from four to six miles inland after seizing the harbor of Nettuno.
More than 48 hours after the new invasion, the Nazi apparently had failed to organize full scale resistance at the beach head.
The Appian Way which ancient Rome called "The queen of long distance roads" came within range of Allied artillery and one broadcast from Algiers said that Rome itself now is within scope of Anglo-American guns.
Mass evacuation of German officers and Italian Facist officials from Rome was reported, but the Allied force continued to hamper large scale military withdrawal by the incessant raids on railroad key point, viaducts, and junctions north of the capital.
Allied aerial support of the wide spread ground action continued without cessation. The Big Nazi-held air port at Rieti was pounded mercilessly as were other targets throughout Italy and in Yugoslavia.
ASTP Greatly Improved Says Major G.B. Smith
The snappy appearance of the AS TP men now on the campus in uniform presented to Major George Baxter Smith, on leave as dean of the School of Education, an outstanding contrast to the leisurely carefree sweatsuit costume of the civilian students of last summer.
On his return visit to the campus Major Smith commented upon the way in which the army and navy programs have gained a substantial foothold in the University. When he left here in August these programs were in their initial stages with all of the headaches and difficulties of any starting program, but he now finds them running in smooth order.
ng educational program was not worthy, Major Smith believed. The whole-hearted cooperation of the entire civilian student body was also observed by him.
The taking over of difficult assignments in all programs of the University by the faculty in an effort to meet the needs of the ever-chang-
Now Chief of Stair in Zone At present Major Smith is the assistant chief of staff, G-3, of the General Staff of the Communications Zone of the California-Arizona Maneuver area. His actual work is connected with the operations and training of the army ground force troops in the area. He has been with this general staff since leaving here in August, 1943.

Wiley Will Direct Orchestra Tonight
Now on a short leave from his army duties, Major Smith is visiting his family in Lawrence. He spoke at the Rotary Club luncheon today.
While in California, Major Smith met many University of Kansas men who are in the armed forces on the west coast and the Pacific theaters. "All expressed the desire for me to bring back their best wishes to the University community. Many of the ROTC graduates of last year are stationed along the west coast, and their success in Officer Candidate School and since joining troops is definitely a credit to the University in all its branches," he said.
Until then with the exception of several months spent at the Commanding General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, he had served on the staff of the military department here since his entrance in the army in August, 1942.

Concert Tonight Good Job--Wiley
Prof Russell L. Wiley
Tonight at 8 o'clock in Hoch auditorium the University Symphony will play its annual winter concert, which promises to be one of the outstanding musical events of the year.
Russell L. Wiley, replacing Karl Kuersteiner now on leave from the University, will direct the orchestra in a program made up entirely of symphonic works.
"The music critic might say that this program was too ambitious for a group of college students in wartime, but if I don't miss my guess the orchestra is going to do a splendid job of it." Mr. Wiley said.
The orchestra will play one of the two most popular violin concertos ever written, the "Concerto in G Minor" by Bruch. Miss Barbara Huls will be the violin soloist.
Two of Wagner's works will appear on the program, his overture to "Die Meistersinger" and the "Siegfried Idyll." The "Star-Spangled Banner" will open the concert. Strauss' popular "Tales from the Vienna Woods" will be included on the program.
Cesar Franck's "Symphony in D Minor" will be the last number on the program. When Franck's symphony was first presented at the Paris Conservatory, critics accepted it with coolness and considerable skepticism. Today it ranks with the greatest symphonies ever written.
Activity tickets will admit students to the concert and servicemen may attend without charge.
Australians Take Jap Base In New Guinea
Gen. Douglas MacArthur reported new successes in the Pacific theater where a Japanese stronghold at the head of the Saria river in northeastern New Guinea was captured by Australian jungle forces driving up the Ramu valley. Allied bombers ranged out against enemy positions, sinking six Jap ships in a series of concerted aerial attacks.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Dilemma in Choosing Type of Education
This semester's end is not too distant, and the various departments have spent time and effort in planning courses for the next semester. Now, in wartime, it is increasingly important to consider training valuable to students after graduation.
An argument which has never been decided is that of professional versus academic training. Is it more important to give students a course of study which teaches them how to think and provides general background material, or is it more important to give them professional training practical in preparation for jobs? Only a smattering of both types of training together is possible in four years—or less now with accelerated programs.
Many fields are open during the war and in years immediately following for graduating students, so some training and actual experience is a great advantage. Background material can be assimilated through reading and contacts. So argues one side. But four years in a college or university should be devoted to learning how to use mental faculties, argues the other side. Experience and training in a particular field is more rapidly and easily picked up. With a solid foundation in college as background, the individual acclimates himself easily to a professional way of life.
Both sides agree, however, that directed study and plan of courses is essential. So many seniors wish now that they had been advised on a course of study bearing more on their future work. The privilege of attending colleges in wartime brings those who really study for a purpose, and these students desire and should obtain studies useful rather than some snap course to fill a requirement for a degree.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor must be signed before they can be printed in the Daily Kansan. Only initials will be used in the paper if so desired, but the full name must be on the letter.
Received January 13 edition of the Kansan today and was interested by the replies of University women when polled by the Kansan staff about joining auxiliary forces.
I believe that most college women can do more for the good of their country as civilians, rather than as members of the armed forces but WILL THEY? The reasons set forth by the coeds for not favoring membership in women's auxiliary forces indicate that they will not.
The "Uniform" factor predominated in the reasoning of most of those interviewed if the article was representative of most replies. The fact that the attractiveness of clothing is of consideration in making so important a decision indicates a lack of comprehension as to the seriousness of the times and as to the functions of the women's auxiliary forces. The women's forces have a job to do in replacing men physically qualified for combat duty overseas. We have a war to win.
Other answers of the women polled and published indicate a lack of appreciation of the women's auxiliary forces. Those women of the armed forces have given up the freedom of civilian life for a cause that they consider worthwhile, the winning of the war. I think that the importance of the work accomplished by these women will more than offset any post war problem created by any loss of femininity by the members of said forces. As much as I admire femininity, I think that other post war problems will worry me a great deal more—Sgt. F.C.B.

Delta Gammas received a rousing serenade from the PT3's between PT study hall periods last week. Most of the time was spent singing one song composed by the salts themselves, who claim to have no Irving Berlins in their midst. The "Memoirs of PT3" has 13 verses and is sung to the tune of "My Maryland." Due to the nature of the song only six were sung to the girls Last verse goes as follows:
From the Hill we are too far We think the Navy should furnish
We know we are out of bounds For coming out, we pass two

D. Did you have a good time?
Stressing the danger of the trend toward complete governmental control of medicine which might come with the passage of the Murray Wagner Dingle bill, Dr. W. W. Bauer, director of the American Medical Association Bureau of Health Education, revealed the problems facing the doctors of the future. Under the sponsorship of the Phi Beta Pi medical fraternity the seventh annual Noble Pierce Sherwood lecture was given Friday night in Fraser theater.
Federal Control Perilous--Bauer
Dr. Bauer believes that this bill now pending in congress can be justified only on the argument that the nation's health is bad. Yet the best status of health this nation has ever had is now. Three years ago in the examining of the soldiers for the first draft, the headlines pointed out that 50 per cent of the young men called for selective service were sent home because they were found unfit.
"Because the draft figures were not properly publicised, we failed to realize that we had put an ideal type of fighting man to be called from all parts of the nation," said Dr. Bauer. "After the attack on Pearl Harbor the standards gradually changed so greatly that now the air force and submarine service are—the only ones anywhere near approaching the original standard." Health of Nation Excellent
That the health of the nation is excellent Dr. Bauer revealed in the present increased length of life expectancy, specific death rates and the greater control over infant diseases and diabetes, but this did not mean that the nation's health is good enough.
Under the bureaucracy of governmental medicine, Dr. Bauer sees the loss of the professional freedom of medicine and a deterioration of the profession and the service given the patient. Doctors would retire rather than practice under the control of non-medical interests or authority invested in lay members.
Warning the audience of medical students of the dangers arising in a change in the medical system in the United States, Dr. Bauer addressed them, "You chose to practice medicine as it was when you elected The

Moore to Represent KU in Contest Friday
Jean Moore, College freshman of Wichita, will represent the University in the contest sponsored by the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas, to be held at 2 p.m., Friday, in Topeka. All college students in Kansas are eligible to compete.
Last year, Jean Thomas Fisher,
College sophomore from Topeka,
took top honors with his prize-winning "Drums over the Plains of Kansas." W. M. Richards of Emporia is president of the Native Sons of Kansas, and Mrs. George L. McCleleny of Topeka is president of the Native Daughters.
Senator Arthur Capper will present a cup to the high ranking speaker at the annual Kansas Day banquet which will be held that night in Topeka. Moore's subject will be "This Is Kansas."
Washington, (INS)—The Senate today side-tracked the consumer's subsidy issue in order to vote on a revised Green-Lucas bill giving service men and women the ballot. The action followed a decision of the Democratic steering committee to push through the revised federal ballot bill before the house can act on a measure placing primary responsibility for soldier voting on the states.
Senate Votes on Revision Of Green-Lucas Bill
nation owes you the obligation not to change the status of medical practice in the United States until you get back to have a voice in the change."
Panama declared war on Germany and Italy Dec. 12, 1941.
Another trend in public health is the widespread interest in medicine and public health questions taken by lay organizations. Through the 4-H Clubs and the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the American Medical Association already has a splendid opportunity to spread information.
Lay Organizations Interested
Dr. Bauer said that to give medicine to the government is the first step in relinquishing all of our other liberties. The position of the medical profession is to warn the American people of the dangers ahead by every legitimate publicity means.
E. F. Beth Will Talk To Journalism Club
The woman's place in journalism after the war will be discussed by Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, who has just returned from a journalism conference in Chicago, at a meeting of the Press club at 4:30 this afternoon.
"All persons interested in journalism are invited to attend, even though they are not enrolled in the courses," said Ruth Tippin, president.
A discussion will follow Professor Beth's speech and refreshments will be served by members of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority.
Prof. G. W. Smith to Talk On Crypto-analysis
Prof. Guy W. Smith of the mathematics department will speak on "Elementary Cryptoanalysis" at the meeting of the Math Club at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in room 9. Frank Strong hall. English students as well as mathematics students have been especially invited by Professor Smith to hear the discussion, which will be accompanied by slides.

Oklahoma Wins In Thriller By 24-23 Score
The Kansas Jayhawks dropped a Big Six conference game to the smooth-working Oklahoma Sooners in Hoch auditorium Friday night by the narrowest of margins, 23 to 24. Three thousand excited fans, who were on their feet most of the final half, saw the Jayhawks come through with their finest performance of the season in this battle that was a "thriller" and "heartbreaker" if there ever was one. It was the first defeat suffered by the Jayhawks to a collegiate foe on the home court this season.
By virtue of their 43 to 34 victory over Kansas State Saturday night the Sooners are in the Big Six driver's seat with five conference victories and no defeats. The Iowa State Cyclones, whom the Jayhawks meet at Ames Saturday night, are also unbeaten but have played only three games, their most recent win being a 41 to 25 decision over Missouri at Columbia last Saturday. The defending champion Jayhawks, proving beyond a doubt that they really do have "something on the ball," hold only an outside chance of regaining their title with two losses counted against them.
The victory gave the Sooners a six-all tie since the two coaches Allen and Drake have met. The return game at Norman Feb. 12 should indeed be a "grudge battle."
The Sooners drove to a 7 to 0 lead before Kansas could find the bucket, but it wasn't long before the Jayhawks were hitting and by half time they had pulled up within two points, 11 to 13. In the hectic final stanza, the score changed hands five times and with three minutes to go was all tied up. A minute later the Sooner freshman, Ken Pryor, hit his second basket, a one-handed, under arm shot from in front which proved to be the winning counter. Lindquist drew his mates within a point on a free throw, but, unlike in the Fort Riley game in which his second looper meant victory, he missed his chance or glory on the last shot of the game, a difficult, one-hander, thrown on the run, which went awry.
Barrington Would Take Blame
Barrington and Buelow, Sooner sub, missed foul attempts in the last minute after a double foul had to be called on them. It was Barrington's fourth. It could be said that Kansas lost the game on free throws as the Allenmen missed seven out of ten chances, while the Sooners were hitting 10 for 13. The Crimson and Blue quintet outscored the Oklahomans from the field, 10 to 7.
Big Don "Duck" Barrington, who played a marvelous rebounding game, took the defeat on his shoulders and even shed a few tears after the game, saying it was "all his fault." However that was hardly the case. Although he did have tough luck at the free throw line and had several sure lay ups roll out, Big Don played a mighty important part in Kansas' splendid performance in taking the ball off the board nearly half the time.
Game Was Defensive Duel
As the score indicates, the game was a tight, defensive duel. Probably from tenseness, neither team was red hot on its basket shooting. Had it not been for Barrington's rebounding the shorter Kansans would probably not have had a look in.
Capt. Sparky McSpadden played a great game, fighting his heart out all the way. The scrapy ElDoradoan led the scoring with Sooner Ramsey, each counting nine points. He held the great O.U. guard, Allie
From the Sidelines By Bob Back, Kansan Sports Editor
The Jayhawk performance against Oklahoma far exceeded our fondest expectations. They indeed had that "winning spirit" and completely outfought their favored foe. Even the Sooners will admit they were lucky in coming out on the long end of the score.
--to win" attitude could very easily come through with an upset. And should either O.U. or the Cyclones hit a nemesis like Kansas did in Missouri, the Jayhawks still might have a chance for at least a tie in top honors. We are not predicting the Jayhawks to beat Iowa State at Ames where the Menzemen are particularly tough, but we do give them a very good chance to topple the Cyclones on the home court March 2, the last game of the season. We also believe Kansas will even the score with Drake and his boys when the two teams get together again in Norman Feb. 12.
Jayhawks Have One Advantage
With two losses chalked up against them, Kansas will have to fight an up hill battle to regain their crown. But the pressure is off and in meeting the co-favorites, Iowa State and Oklahoma, the supposedly "out of the picture" Jayhawks could very easily up and knock either the Cyclones or Sooners off their perch. Dr. Allen even said Friday night at the half when his team trailed two points that he would rather have such be the case. The psychological effect of having to "fight from behind" rather than to "protect" did prove to mean something for in seven minutes of the final stanza the Jayhawks had fought back to a 19 to 16 lead.
It will be the same situation when the Jayhawks meet the leading Cyclones and Sooners, who will both be under pressure to hold their top berths. Kansas on the other hand with a "nothing to lose, everything
Paine, to five points, his lowest this season. When "honor bestewth time" comes around at the season's end, McSpadden can hardly be left out with such performances as Friday night's.
Ramsey Takes Lead
Charley Moffett scored eight points to boost his total to 52 in four games, an average of 13 points even, just behind Ramsey, whose 17 points in the K-State fracas, left him with 13.4 average in five games on 66 points. Against Kansas Ramsey, the 6-4 Oregonian, was effective only at the free throw line, sinking five. From the field he missed countless pivot shots, registering only two cinch layups. On the other hand most of Moffett's goals were of the difficult variety, one-handers from several feet out.
Bill Lindquist contributed four points to the Kansas cause besides playing a great defensive and ball-hall-quent game. In the last half Lindquist took over the "quarterback" position, unfamiliar to him, quite like an old veteran. Stucker's rebounding along with the smooth work of Sherwood and Goehring deserve commendation.
The Jayhawks have at last "made" themselves. Even their coach, Phog Allen, who got up from his sick bed to direct the team, must have been amazed when his boys shot into the lead five times in the final half. There should be no more "poorest team since 1929" stuff coming from the famous Kansas mentor.

Faculty Sends Greetings To Kansas Day Meetings
Greetings from various faculty members and songs by a barber shop quartet will be sent on a phonograph record from the University to the Kansas Day alumni meetings in Akron, Ohio, and in Los Angeles, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, announced today.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech, and R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry are members of the quartet which will sing songs of the 1890's. Their first song will be a "Bicycle Built for Two."
Unique types of mammals developed in the isolated southern part of South America before the uplift of the Andes, Elmer S. Riggs, honorary curator of vertebrate paleontology of Dyche museum, said last week at a meeting of Sigma Xi, science fraternity.
E. S. Riggs Describes Unique Mammals
Five orders of mammals including the marsupials and ground sloths, existed nowhere in the world but in South America.
Mr. Riggs showed charts indicating the geologic time in which the animals existed. He illustrated the lecture with colored slides showing geological formations, sites of expedition work, and restorations of the animals done by artists studying with the scientists.
After the mammals of flood plain origin came a-period when North American animals migrated to South America and began to dominate the forms there. Mastodons, rodents, carnivores, tapters, and deer moved south. The porcupines, ground sloths, and armadillos moved to the north.
"The mammals in North America enjoyed freer movement and were subjected to sharper competition," Mr. Riggs said.
The newcomers had the advantage and overcame the South American animals.
"The armadillo and porepine in North America are the only surviving immigrants from South America for that period." Mr. Riggs said.
Mr. Riggs spent four years in South America and led two expeditions there in the study of fossil mammals.

Blood Donors Register Today At Hospital
Dr. Ralph X. Canuteson, chairman of the blood donor committee for Douglas county and director of the University health service said this morning in reference to the registration of blood donors, that he believed today will be a good day.
An early registration for students began at 2 this afternoon in the lobby of Watkins Memorial hospital, and Mrs. Ralph I. Canuteson and Mrs. Deane W. Malot, who are registering the students, will remain there until after 5 p.m. for the benefit of those who are unable to register earlier.
Josephine Abbitt, who has contributed the record amount of blood in this county, is in charge of recruiting donors. Both she and Dr. Canuteson said that they hope a large per cent of the students will consider it their duty to register for the donation of one pint of blood.
Pamphlets were distributed about the campus today urging students to volunteer to pledge their contributions. Those between the age of 18 and 21 will be given, upon registration, a release blank to be signed by their parents or guardian and to be presented Feb. 3 or 4 to the Red Cross donor service.
If unable to register today, volunteers may call the Community building, 640, and register by telephone Directions for donors will be given upon registration.

Appian Way Crossed By British, Yanks
(International News Service)
The historic Appian way and the modern double-track electric railway which parallels it to Rome were believed cut today by American and British troops which flashed eastward from the captured Italian ports of Nettuno and Anzio.
General Sir Henry Maitland-Wilson announced the initial beachhead has been widened to a depth of 12 miles, but front dispatches put the figure at 15, and a radio broadcast heard in London said the Allies already are in the Lenipi mountains, 19 miles from Nettuno.
Severance of the broad highway eliminated the major escape route for German forces battling fiercely against Allied troops on the Garigliano and Rapido rivers. Likewise, it will handicap further reinforcement of enemy legions on the main battle line where savage but costly German counterattacks continue.

Weidlein to Give Talk on Science In War, Feb. 25
Dr. E, R. Weidlein, director of the Mellon Institute for Industrial Research in Pittsburgh, Pa., will speak on "Science in the War" on Feb. 25 in the second convocation of that week, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today.
Dr. Weidlein, who has been termed by the Chancellor, "one of K.U.'s most distinguished alumni," received his bachelor of arts degree here in 1909 and his master's degree a year later. He received the degree of doctor of science from Tufts College in 1924.
The Industrial Fellowship system had its beginning at the University when Dr. Weidlein was a graduate student here. The system was established in a basement laboratory by Dr. Robert Kennedy Duncan of the University faculty. Later it was consolidated at the University of Pittsburgh with funds established by Andrew Mellon, steel tycoon and former Secretary of the Treasury, and Richard B. Mellon.
In 1913 the two university units became the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research. Dr. Weidlein has been director of the Institute since 1921, after serving as assistant director since 1916.
During World War I Dr. Weidlein was a chemical expert for the War Industry board, prior to which he served as acting director for the technical division of the Chemical warfare service of the American Expeditionary Forces. He holds important patents in the chemistry and metallurgy of copper. He is a past president of the American Chemical Society and has been associated with practically every important chemical organization in this country.
Grand Jury Indicts Ickes' Aide in Forgery
Washington, (INS) — A federal grand jury today indicted George N. Briggs, confidential aide to Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, for forgiving the name of Harry L. Hopkins to a White House letter. A 23-man federal grand jury also indicted Briggs on charges of mail fraud and false pretense. If found guilty and given the maximum sentence on all three indictments, Briggs would be subject to a total of 53 years in prison and a fine of $8,000. The grand jury completely exonerated Harry Hopkins, presidential adviser, Dr. Umprey Lee, president of Southern Methodist University, secretary of interior Harry L. Ickes, and Frank Phillip, Oklahoma oil man, of having any part of the famed letter purportedly written by Hopkins to Lee implying that the White House aide favored Wendell Willkie as the 1944 Republican presidential nominee.
Brazil Recalls Ambassador From Bolivia in Protest
Rio de Janeiro, (INS) — The Brazilian foreign office disclosed today that its ambassador to Bolivia has been recalled. The announcement came shortly after Brazil and Peru joined the U. S. in their refusal to recognize the new revolutionary regime.
Tryouts Postponed On Speech Contest
The Campus Problem speaking contest has been postponed indefinitely, Miss Margaret Anderson of the speech and drama department announced today. Tryouts were to have been held tomorrow.
"It may be possible to hold this contest later in the year," commented Miss Anderson.
Officials Survey Navy Personnel
In line with the navy's efforts to consolidate its departments and utilize its manpower to the highest degree, a survey of the navy personnel and civilian employees of all three divisions of the University's Naval Training school was taken today by a manpower survey party which arrived this morning. Chief Yeoman G. O. Starkey announced,
The party, one of several which are taking manpower surveys of all naval schools, in the Ninth Naval District, conferred with Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer of the Naval Training school, and with Lt. R. S. Neil, commanding officer of the V-5 unit.
The party, composed of Capt. K.B. Salisbury, senior member, Ottumwa, Iowa; Lt. Com. W. J. Amoss, Des Moines, Ia.; Howard C. Payne, civil service representative, Wichita; C.D. Cravens, Topeka; and J. H. Mc Laughlin, Y1c, Ottumwa, conferred with officials of the Naval Training school at Pittsburg yesterday, and will leave the campus tonight to continue their tour of schools in this area.
Students Classed 2A Safe for 6 Months Woodruff Believes
Students having 2A deferment, such as engineers and medical students, need not fear reclassification for the next six months, L. C. Woodruff, military adviser, announced this morning.
"Amendment of National Selective Service orders contained in Bulletin 33-6 and going into effect Feb. 15 are not expected to affect the occupationally deferred of this campus," said Mr. Woodruff, who voiced the same belief as Chancellor Deane Malott.
The Chancellor upon a recent visit in Washington, D. C., learned that the alloted number of students in engineering alone had been greatly increased and that the share of the University may even exceed normal enrollment hereafter.
Although some boards have students here, an explanation of the situation has ended such reclassifications, and no other reclassifications on a purely occupational basis is expected for the next six months, at least.
"I feel that our students may now be able to ceases their worry and concentrate on their studies," Mr. Woodruff said.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Can Dewey Win For the Republicans?
Rumor has it that Chicago Republicans are in favor of Dewey for President. Chicago is the convention city for this June, and the Chicago Republicans will have a large representation, at least in the gallery.
Let us consider this man Dewey. Four years ago he was thought by some to be too young and inexperienced for the chief's job. Even so, the Gallup poll revealed that 60 percent were in favor of his candidacy in January, 1940. Since that time, he has increased his experience in the New York Governor's chair, from which many a President has risen.
Thomas Edmund Dewey is a man approaching 42. He has a character remarkably free from stain, and may be considered "typically American." As a boy he sang in a church choir, debated, joined the Boy Scout organization, and had the distinction of never being late to or absent from school. He received the bachelor of arts degree from the University of Michigan in 1923, and his bachelor of laws degree from Columbia in 1926, completing a three-year course in two.
Dewey's father, George Martin Dewey, was a Republican county chairman for many years, and there is no reason to suspect his son of party disloyalty. G. M. Dewey died the year before his son's marriage to Frances Hutt, whom Tom had met in music school. She encouraged the growth of his famed mustache, which will delight the cartoonists especially if Dewey should be selected Republican presidential candidate.
In 1931, only six years after he received his degree, he was making $8000 a year in private legal practice. From 1933 on, his life was connected largely with the investigation and punishment of crime.
Appointed chief assistant to the U.S. attorney in the southern district of New York in 1933, Dewey began a more public life. In 1935, Governor Lehman appointed him special prosecutor in the investigation of racketeering and vice in New York.
His first elected office, district attorney of New York county, was won in 1937 by a margin of more than 100,000 votes. From that time on, he became nationally known for his "cops-and-robbers technique." He created the Volunteer Defenders, a panel of legal talent which tries a certain number of cases each year without pay.
A family man, Dewey's honesty and morals have never been questioned. With his two young sons, his wife, his Mason and Episcopalian membership, he seems the ideal traditional American in many ways. A spiteful Democrat said of him, "You must know Mr. Dewey very well in order to dislike him."—R.T.
Letters to the Editor
I was somewhat surprised to read Pvt. H. M.'s letter in last Tuesday's Daily Kansan criticizing KU. women for doing something he, too, is doing—namely, continuing their education. Granted, that women's auxiliaryes are doing a fine job, and if any coed is convinced that she can be of service to her country by joining one of the branches, she should enlist immediately. However, if a women sincerely believes that she can aid her country best by completing her college education so that she will be better prepared to help in the war effort, then she certainly should not be branded a female draft dodger.
Pvt. H. M. made the statement to the effect that if military personnel

Blinding Beauty — When Bill Woods called for his blind date, a Delta Gamma rushee. Saturday night, he was not prepared for her blinding glory. As the couple descended the walk in front of the DG. house, the rushee slipped and started to fall. Bill galantly caught her—in such a manner that she stuck her finger squarely in his right eye. When last seen, the bd., evidently impressed by Bill's attempted chivalry, was considering the adoption of "I'm Falling in Love" as her theme song.

Chemistry and Love—Now that Ann Seipes, Corbin half-pint, and Vance Reynolds, V-12, have made it official, the story can be told. Recently when Vance was having more than the usual amount of unknown trouble in chemistry lab, petite Ann furnished inspiration aptenity in the form of a large photograph of herself, placed squarely in the middle of the budding chemist's desk. At
present, other members of the qualitative analysis lab, prompted by their colleague's musical talents, are calling Vance, Frankie — short for Frank Sinatra.

--were removed from the University, K.U. women would consider that a hardship, and many would leave the campus. Is he congratulating himself on being a female morale builder or a good soldier?
Something New in Figures—Aroused from a sound sleep in sociology by Miss Elliott's problem, "If we have 100 men and 95 women, why won't all the women be married?" Bev Bohan calmly stated that it was because fewer men married than women. And we thought it was a 50-50 proposition!
Some women are convinced that they can do their part only by joining one of the services. Others are equally confident that they can best serve their country by carrying on on the home front.
Can a coed be criticized for doing he thing which she thinks is best?
I'm wondering if Pvt. H.M.didn't unwisely criticize the K.U. coeds in his letter which appeared in last Tuesday's Kansei. I was very much surprised to hear that an A.S.T., stationed here at K.U., enjoying the same luxuries as the coeds here, feels that we coeds hardly know that there is a terrible struggle on for survival. In fact, I was wondering if the servicemen here are aware of a war being fought by some of our American boys on the other side of the ocean.
Most of us coeds have brothers and boy friends who are fighting overseas, and some of them will never return. Most of us coeds have seriously thought of joining a women's auxiliary, only to be reproved by these same fighting men for considering such action. They give a number of reasons, such as the Guadalcanal sergeant who doesn't want to come home and visit his girl friend in any army camp. These fighting men say that there are many jobs on the home front that are as necessary to the war effort as bullets
It will be interesting to see how many servicemen, who really don't want to be here, apply for immediate active service.

Of the first five articles in the Reader's Digest for January, 1944, three of them are about, or written by, former University of Kansas students! The second article, "Surgery Heals the Scars of War," tells of the remarkable job that Padgett's dermatone has done in remaking torn scarred bodies of war.
KU Graduates Figure Quite Prominently In 'Digest' Articles
This machine was conceived by Dr. Earl Padgett who was graduated from the University of Kansas with the class of 1918, and now teaches in the University of Kansas School of Medicine. The article states that Padgett's dermatone, which does skin grafting, is the most outstanding recent contribution to plastic surgery. The machine was perfected and patented by Prof. George J. Hood, Engineering.
"The Victorious Vratilis" is the name of the third article. This tells about a Pawnee County, Kansas family, one member of which attended the University of Kansas from 1940 to 1952 and lived at Battenfeld hall. His name is Frank Vattell, an he is now an Air Force lieutenant on a Flying Fortress.
The story is written by Ralph Wallace, who was a University of Kansas student in 1930. Jerome Beatty. Writes Articles.
Jerome Beatty Writes Article
The Reader's Digest's fifth article "Baby Miracle," was written by Jerome Beatty who was a University of Kansas Journalism student, and a member of the class of 1908. Mr. Beatty is noted for his writings about personalities, and this article is about the youngest Quiz Kid. The Readers Digest has sent Mr. Beatty around the world to write about famous personalities.
Also, in the January issue of Harpers Magazine, a former University of Kansas student has written an article. He is Wallace E. Pratt, who was graduated with the class of 1908, and his article is entitled "Oil Fields in the Arctic."
Geologist Writes Book
Mr. Pratt is a well-known geologist and a director member of the executive committee of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. For many years he has been concerned with questions of oil geology in various parts of the world and has written about them. His writings have appeared in technical and scientific journals.
His book, "Oil in the Earth" was the first publication of the University of Kansas press last year. It attracted wide attention in view of the much-discussed possibility of oil exhaustion in the United States.

Concert in Hoch, 'Ambitious,' Pleases Many
An applause that called for three recognitions from Conductor Russell L. Wiley gave evidence of the appreciation of a Hoch audience of the University symphony concert last evening.
Braving 'threatening weather, a crowd only slightly smaller than that which usually attends the mid-winter event, gave approval of what many had termed an ambitious program.
The orchestra handled its program of symphonic works skillfully and artistically. The melodious "Tales from the Vienna Woods" (Strauss) most completely thrilled and moved the audience.
Barbara Huls, accompanied by the orchestra, played the violin "Concerto in G Minor" (Bruch) skillfully and expressively. The soloist was a former pupil of Karl Kuersteiner and is now studying under Waldermal Geltch, head of the School of Fine Arts department of violin.
Violin Section Outstanding
In Wagner's overture to "Die Meistersinger" the violin section of the orchestra did an outstanding piece of work. Wagner's "Siegfried Idyll" created a soothing and peaceful mood in the audience, just as the original folk tune must have that Wagner's wife used to sing as a lullaby to their son, Siegfried. The composer used the craddle song as one of his main themes.
The dramatic "Symphony in D Minor" by Franck, full of deep conflict and feeling closed the program. In the symphony parts written for the English horn were well played by Wade Fite, College junior. Harry Spencer, College freshman also played honor parts.
Back stage, Ted Lehmann, College senior, said "I enjoyed the performance very much. Very good Strauss. Fine Wagner."
What They Thought of It
Barbara Huls, the violin soloist, admitted, "I was terribly terribly nervous, and I'm very relieved that it is over."
Mr. Wiley, director of the symphony said, "I was most delighted with the orchestra tonight." Mr. Wiley said the program was of the students' own choosing, and that they had opportunity to choose much lighter and popular selections.
Mary Weeks Resigns To Work in Detroit
Bringing to a close 22 years of service on the staff of the chemistry department, Miss Mary Elvira Weeks has resigned her position, effective at the end of this semester, to join the staff of the Kresge-Hooker Scientific library in Detroit, Chancellor Deane W. Malot announced today.
In submitting her resignation, Miss Weeks commented, "I shall take with me a happy recollection of the 22 years of teaching at the University and of the many courtesies extended to me by the administrative officers and by my colleagues and students."
Proficient in German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Swedish, Miss Weeks will be employed at the Scientific library in the translation of scientific works from these languages into English. Because of the present demand for Russian translations, Miss Weeks plans also an intensive study of Russian.
Miss Weeks became acquainted with Dr. Neil Gordon, present director of the laboratory, in his editing of the first edition of her book. "Discovery of the Elements."
Fifteen Read Poems At Ateneo Meeting

She has been a counselor of the History of Science Society for several years and served on the Women's Science Committee of the American Chemical Society.
Of Dr. Weeks and her service to the University, Dr. R. Q. Brewster, chairman of the department of chemistry, said: "We shall miss her enormously. She has given splendid service for many years, and has brought great distinction to the University by the publication of her book "History of the Discovery of the Elements." It has become one of the most widely read works ever produced by a member of the University chemistry staff."
Air-WACs Required For Many Positions
The vast network of the Army Airways Communications system this week announced that some of its choice jobs in control towers and radio rooms now are open to the Army air forces' Air-WACs, and the upward spurt of inquiries among prospective Air-WAC volunteers convinced officials that American women see Air-WAC service as the open door to post-war aviation jobs.
Control tower operators, radio mechanics, and radio operators are needed by Airways communications, and women whose civilian training and background qualify them for Air-WACs can step into these posts.
Air-WACs with the Airways communications will be housed at Air-WAC detachments where they are stationed. The facilities at airbases and fields in Kansas are part of the 23rd Airways communications region with headquarters in room 204 of the Fickwick building, Kansas City, Mo.

TUESDAY. JANUARY 25, 1944
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Already having suffered losses that would leave most Big Six clubs beyond repair, the Iowa State Cyclones still will present a potent five against the Jayhawks at Ames Saturday night. The Cyclones started the season off by edging out the mighty Iowa Seahawks, but since that time they have lost Lloyd Kester, regular guard who was the leading scorer for the team; Leo Schneider, second string center who was a fresh numeral winner last year; and most recently another starter, Lyle Naylor, a tricky guard who starred with Drake last winter.
Stocked with Talent
The Cyclones, despite these losses, will can field a quintet of regular varsity lettermen from 1942, something few teams in the nation can do. At forwards Coach Menzel has the Wheede twins, Ray and Roy, who were starters for him last year. Ray being high scorer of the team. Then at center, there is All-American Price Brookfield from West Texas State. When Dr. Allen first heard of Brookfield's being sent to the Cyclone school he humorously commented that Brookfield, a versatile Phi Beta Kappa, could take core of most of the Wartime Big Six teams. The giant Texan, however, has not as yet hit the scoring pace he was expected to reach as he scored only five points against K-State, 10 against Missouri, but was hot in counting 18 points in 28 minutes against Nebraska. Jayhawk Don barrington will probably get the horse of holding the lanky flyer down.

Dependable Guards
At the guards Menzue will also have two regulars in his own Gene Oulman, 6-3, and the smooth working Bob Sauer, naval trainee who performed well with Washington U. of St. Louis last year.
Five Fouls?
Recently Coach Bill Chandler of Marquette had his boys play a regulation basketball game with a pregame "five-foul" agreement. Chandler, long an advocate of givingagers an extra foul, would have a player put out of the game after his fourth foul for a period of three minutes after which he might reenter the game. It is similar to the hockey "penalty box" ruling by which offenders are put in the penalty box for a certain length of time. in hockey, unlike basketball, the offender cannot be replaced while serving penalty and his team is likewise short handed. Chandler believes that the fifth foul will makeagers less cautious after committing their third error and consequently will play and drive harder. Many times a player will commit three fouls comparatively early in the game, and under such handicap he is so careful, he loses much of his effectiveness. Also many times star
8 Former Students Receive Army Wings
Receiving their silver wings and commissions as second lieutenants in the Army Air Corps last week were eight former University students. These flyers, all combat pilots, have already been assigned to active duty.
Lt. Harry J. Huff was graduated from Foster Field, Victoria, Tex., while Lieutenants Frank E. Harvey and Joe W. Payne were both commissioned fighter pilots at Eagle Pass, Tex.
Three KU Men Shine In Military Training
From a group of 800, who had just finished the officer's training period at Camp Davis, N. C., eight were chosen to do special study in advanced electronics. Three of the eight chosen were former University of Kansas students. They are Vernon McKale, who was president of the Student Council last year, George Johnson, and George Verhage. These men will do their work at Harvard University.
Argentina May Break with Axis

One army chapel in a Pacific jungle has mahogany furnishings and bells fashioned from two 90 mm shells.
players, who the fans pay to see play, have a bad habit of fouling and are often ousted from the game in the crucial moments. This was quite true of Kansas Charley Black last year. The aggressive, fighting type of player is thus hampered.
Allen's Solution
Dr. F. C. Allen does not advocate directly the five-foul plan. Rather, it all ties up with his campaign for the 12-foot goal. With the baskets at that height, he claims (after considerable experimentation) that fouling and bodily contact under the bucket will decrease nearly 80 per cent. And it is under the basket where most fouling occurs. The 12-foot basket with its consequent greater rebounding area will make the game, according to Allen, a lot more open and cleaner with far less contact. The drive in and lay up, cause for many fouls, will be removed.

KU Is Outstanding Research Center
The University has become one of the outstanding research institutions in the central United States through its Kansas Research Foundation, headed by Prof. E. A. Stephenson of the mining, metallurgical and petroleum departments. In May this organization was chartered as an independent corporate body under the state laws of Kansas.
Under its program the Foundation seeks to answer the question of what Kansas has to offer that can be of use industrially, commercially, and financially to the people of this state. Cooperating with the Foundation in its research are members of the engineering, medical, pharmaceutical, and bacteriological staffs of the University.
Research in Plastics
Through this project the Kansas Industrial Development commission has appropriated $50,000 for research toward the exploitation of Kansas natural resources. Scientists at the University are now-working on the production of synthetic gas from natural gas, to be utilized for the production of such materials as gasoline and fuel oil.
Research in plastics is now being carried on at the University. A laboratory has been completely equipped for photo-elastic studies and is now ready for use in the new engineering research building. This building has attracted national attention because it is built of stabilized earth blocks, developed through research by Prof. W. C. McNown, head of civil engineering at the University. McNown is continuing his research work which promises to stimulate low cost building construction.
The State Board of Health has appropriated $2,000 for further research in the curtailment of brine production in oil wells and the subsequent pollution of Kansas streams. Work of the Foundation promises to effect the recovery of many thousands of barrels of additional oil.

185 Volunteer To Give Blood By Noon Today
One hundred and eighty-five students had volunteered at noon today to give blood to the Red Cross blood donor service, a number called 'excellent' by Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, chairman, and his assistants.
Headed by Josephine (Jo Lee) Abbitt, as campus recruit leader, the campaign was taking on a competitive aspect as the various houses tried to show a large representation of their membership in the registration list. A record will be kept of the houses according to percentage of donation.
This is the fourth call of the Red Cross since the opening of military hostilities. Miss Abbitt has a record of six donations, having made contributions elsewhere than the campus. Several students have made three donations.
Mrs. Deane W. Malott and Mrs. Ralph I-Canuteson began registering students at 2 p.m. yesterday and the 185 volunteers kept them continually busy until 6 p.m., Dr. Canuteson said.
"We expect quite a large number yet," said Dr. Canuteson, "because more registered yesterday than we expected." Dr. Canuteson also said that those students under the age of 21 who did not receive their release blanks yesterday, may get them at the office of Watkins Memorial hospital at any time now.
Dr. Canuteson also expressed his surprise that the army and navy boys on the campus did not respond to the recruiting drive.
"We realize that this is the wrong date for many of the boys in uniform because they are having vacations," he said, "but we want them to know that they are welcome to volunteer their contributions."
Kansas Quadrangle Appears on New Map
A new topographic map of the Kansas part of the Quindaro quadrangle has just been published by the Federal Geological Survey, according to John C. Frye, assistant director in charge. Topographic mapping is carried on in Kansas cooperatively by the State and Federal Geological Surveys. The Quindaro quadrangle, which includes the northwest part of Kansas City, Kan., extends from Parallel Avenue north to the state line, and from Seventh Street about 7 miles west to Washington Rural High School. It shows the shape of the land surface in great detail by 10-foot contours printed in brown; roads, railroads, benchmarks, public buildings, and houses outside of Kansas City are printed in black. Streams and ponds are shown by blue, wooded areas by green, and main highways by red.
FDR Demands Federal Ballot Law Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt sent a strongly-worded message to congress today demanding enactment of a federal soldier-ballot law which provoked charges of "insult" in the senate and loud boos from the house members.

'March of Dimes' Party Will Be at 4:30 Today
The YWCA will entertain all members at a "March of Dimes" party from 4:30 to 5:30 this afternoon in the Kansan room of the Union building. The dimes will be sent to the President for his birthday fund.
A program is planned, and reshments will be served. Cara Shoemaker, president of YWCA, will give a 1-minute statement on the "March of Dimes."
Medicine Added To AST Courses
Classes in pre-medicine will be added to the ASTP courses in the new 12-week quarter, beginning Feb. 7, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris announced today. Word has been received only to the effect that premedicine will be included in the program, which has up to this time concerned only basic engineering; no information on what courses will be offered has been obtained. Lt. Col. McMorris said.
The session beginning Feb. 7 is the third quarter since the program originated at the University, Aug. 7. After three terms in basic engineering training, the ASTP trainees are transferred to other centers to start a regular engineering course.
After a 10-day furlough, beginning Jan. 30, for all trainees in good standing, many of the AST students will return to the University to continue their training. The enrollment for this session will be about 200 less than the opening term. The present enrollment is approximately 675.
Committee Appointed To Investigate Cuts
Jill Peck, Dick Miller, and Peggy Davis make up the committee which will meet with the Senate faculty advisory and Calendar committees to discuss the problem of cuts before and after vacations. Announcement of the committee was made at a meeting of the All-Student council in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building last night.
The council budget was read and approved, and class officers were officially announced to the council.
Gayle Mott, equitation instructor and owner of the K.U. stables, has been confined to the Lawrence Memorial hospital as the result of a kick received from one of his work horses, Monday.

Home Made Love Tokens Aided Cupid
Women in the "war widow" class and men in the Army and Navy units who, in spite of the spring weather, find they need a little inspiration for their letters to "the one" far away, will be surprised at the ideas they can get from the valentines displayed in the small southwest gallery of Spooner-Thayer museum.
Valentines in the 18th and 19th centuries were more sentimental than they are now. Verses, printed in all shades of ink or penned with care by the "interested" men appear in the center of the valentines or border the centerpieces of the flowers, seals, birds, or scenes of spring.
Lacy designs and edges on the paper added to the romance of the tokens of love. Some of the valentines are mere sheets of note paper with gold designs bordering around the space where the sender could write a sweet message.
Some original persons made the centerpieces of the valentines by pasting on berries, bits of flowers, and pretty decoration seals. Others preferred to write their own verses over the sheet to make the valentine seem more intimate. The following verse is a typical example:
To my Darling
To my Darling
By this token I would have you know
That I wish to be your beau.
All hopes of others I'll resign
If you'll consent to be my
If you'll consent to be my valentine.
The valentines, from Mrs. W. B Thayer's collection, will be on display through Valentine's Day.

(International News Service)
To mounting military disasters in Russia, Italy, and the far Pacific was added a stunning diplomatic set-back for the Berlin-Tokyo Axis today. The Argentina government headed by Pres. Gen. Pedro Ramirez, announced after weeks of indecision that diplomatic relations with the enemies of the United Nations had at last been severed. An official statement said: "After it had been proved that strong spy activities which compromised Argentina's neutrality had been abusing our national pride, the
Russia Asks U.S. Not to Intercede Yet On Behalf of Poland
(International News Service)
Secretary of State Cordell Hull announced that Soviet Russia has rejected the American government's offer to use its good offices in bringing about resumption of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and the Polish government in London. Hull told a news conference that the Soviet government has notified the United States that it does not feel that conditions have yet ripened to a point where such good offices could be utilized to advantage.
The Soviet government action was viewed in Washington as likely to intensify the serious crisis in Russo-Polish relations and threatened to widen the breach in Allied political unity.
Advance notice of the Soviet government's rejection of the American offer was believed to have prompted British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's announcement in the House of Commons today that Great Britain will not recognize any change in the pre-war frontier of Poland without the consent of the free Polish government.
The view prevailed in authoritative Washington circles that Russia is unwilling to negotiate a settlement of the boundary dispute with Poland unless the Polish government accepted Moscow's claim to the eastern part of Poland and also eliminated from the London cabinet those members who are considered to be anti-Soviet.
California Professor Visits University Campus
Prof. E. Raymond Hall, of the department of zoology at the University of California, Berkeley, was a campus visitor today.

March Graduates Register For Jayhawker Pictures
Seniors planning to be graduated in March who want to have their pictures in the Jayhawk should make appointments before Friday, Virginia Schaefer, College senior, has announced.
Argentine government decided to break relations with Germany and Japan."
Prompt notice was served upon diplomatic representatives of the two Axis regimes in Buenos Aires that they are no longer "Persona Grata." They presumably will leave the country under safe-conduct as early as possible.
The internationally discredited revolutionary government in Bolivia, meanwhile, will doubtless go out of office in the near future, paving the way for establishment of a diplomatic regime there and a general clean-up of the same anti-Nazi nature that is underway in Argentina.
Capt. Clark Given New AST Authority
Capt. Benjamin F. Clark was promoted yesterday by Lt. Colonel W. L. McMorris, commanding officer of the army service forces at the University, to the newly created position of executive officer of all military activities. He thus has received increased authority with the ASTP unit along with his recent promotion from first lieutenant to captain.
"The promotion was well earned, and Captain Clark's service since the establishment of the ASTP unit at the University has been highly beneficial and of the greatest value," said Lt. Col. McMorris.
Captain Clark lives at 1800 Mississippi street with his wife and three children.
C. A. Dykstra Writes Words to Wisconsin Hymn
C. A. Dykstra, history professor on the Universiyt faculty from 1909 to 1918, has written the words to a new Wisconsin hymn which was recently played in public for the first time at the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Dykstra is now president of Wisconsin university.
The tune was composed by Fritz Kreisler, internationally-known violinist-composer, at the request of President Dykstra several years ago, after which President Dykstra wrote the words and entitled the hymn "Pioneers of Wisconsin."
At its recent performance, Prof. Raymond F. Dvorak, director of the University bands, conducted the number which he had arranged for band use.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Chance for Students In Campus Bond Drive
All over the campus are members of the Coed Volunteer Corps selling war savings stamps as part of the Fourth War Loan Drive. In this small way those of us who are separated from direct workwork can contribute to the national effort.
Buying war stamps and bonds, however, is not only a gesture of patriotism. To fight inflation successfully, money must be drawn out of current spending power and invested in war bonds. To maintain a balance system of economy, part of the immense expenditure by the government must be financed by voluntary support.
For the year ending June 1944 the government needs $90 billions. About $41 billions will be raised in taxes, the rest to be borrowed from the people. The money is in the pockets of the people, and can be given. Four-fifths of the nation's income is earned by those in the $5000-or-less bracket. To check inflation, the bulk of saving must be done by them.
Students here as all over the country can easily do without their daily cokes and candy-bars. Even a quarter a week mounts up. But too many students leave the buying of war bonds to their parents, refusing to assume any responsibility. The goal for the University is $5000. With over 5000 University residents, this goal does not seem attainable.
Lending money to our government sounds like a good phrase, a symbolic phrase. But it should hit home with every student, making him conscious of his government's need of the support of every individual.
Thankful for the chance to complete an education, students should show their gratitude to less fortunate young people fighting abroad by buying war stamps.

Purple Passion: The shortage of anklets caused Theta's to reflect deeply upon the matter and at length they arrived at a solution. Purple seemed to be the color most desired, so they purchased some dye and set to work. Ethel Mary Swartz not content with the mere dying of anklets, dipped a few other "items" in the water and now has a complete set of things that are included in the word "lingerie."

Idle minds are said to give play to idle thoughts, and several Chi Omega's have formed a new club Margie Owen and Margaret Girlie are among the founders of the club, which is called Sigma Epsilon Chi (to find the hidden meaning of the organization, abbreviate the name in Greek letters).

a sack full of vegetables which also contained an onion. The class conspired, rubbed the onion over the top of Prof. Sam Anderson's desk, and then put it in a drawer. Throughout the lecture, Prof. Anderson referred to the strong odor which permeated the room. At last, one member of the class logically admitted having eaten a raw onion for breakfast. With all eyes watering, the class continued. It was not until the end of the hour that Prof. Anderson realized he had been duped.

Former K.U. Students Serve in U.S. Forces
There are more than 6000 former students and alumni of the University of Kansas now serving in the armed forces, according to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association. They are represented in all branches of the service.
Also, the state of Kansas has achieved a high position in supporting the war effort. Hundreds of Kansas men and women have volunteered for military service. Kansas farms have yielded crops and livestock products of a value of $1,750,000. Kansas has collected and shipped 414,000 tons of scrap, an average of $16%4 pounds a person, the highest average of any state. Kansas also ranks high in its contributions to the various war and welfare agencies.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1944
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Charles Moffett, Kansas' high scoring cager, may miss the Iowa State game at Ames Saturday night. Moffett entered the hospital Monday suffering from sinus trouble and Monday night developed a high temperature. Moffett is resting well today, according to Dr. Ralph I. Canuthes, and will probably be released tomorrow depending on his condition. Dr. Allen states that although he will take the Poebody star along on the Ames trip, it is doubtful that he can use him against the Cyclones, conference favorites.
"Half a week in the infirmary," states Allen, "saps the strength of any man and hardly leaves him in shape to compete in a hard game of basketball." To replace Moffett, Allen has been working with several combinations. Besides Barrington, McSpadden, and Lindquist, either Joehring, Sherwood, Diehl, or Corley will probably start.
Baker Was Here
Corp. Hoyt Baker, quarterback on Gwinn Henry's 1942 Kansas football team and a member of Dr. F. C. Allen's championship basketball team last year, was here for the Oklahoma-Kansas game last Friday night. Baker, who is stationed at Ft. Bliss, Texas, like Moffett, hails from Peabody. (What teams the University could have if all of Kansas' small towns could produce such athletes as this one.) Baker was last year noted as the second most popular follow on the campus behind Ray Evans. The tow-headed corporal looks heavier and more powerful an ever; consequently the army life must not be hurting him.
Skyjackets Best?
The Norman Naval Air Technical Training Center Skyjackets and the Norman Naval Air Station Zoomers have been beating everyone this season, but experts were having a hard time deciding which was the better of the two. The Zoomers had lost two of three games to the Oklahoma Sooners, yet had handed Iba's Aggies two sound lickings. Oklahoma A and M broke the Stillwater field house scoring record by trouncing Drake's Sooners, 59 to 40. Last night the Zoomers and the Skyjackets got together, with the Skyjackets coming out on tap after a fierce battle, 35 to 22.
Basketball Tops!
The United States Navy recognizes basketball as its top conditioner and last year had a record of 30,000 games, 70,000 participants, on 200 courts. Lt. Cmdr. Frank Wickhorst, head of the physical training program, states that basketball in the naval aviation setup is a warlike name. He states that there is little whistle-blowing, thus making for a fast, rough, aggressive team play as was exemplified by Hutchinson NAS, but not, however, by Olathe NAS, a smooth-working outfit). States Wickhorst, "Navy coaches are endeavoring to develop desirable characteristics in the flyers of tomorrow, the naval aviation cadets of today. Exciting plays, shooting and passing under strain, are similar to situations which may be encountered behind the controls of a navy plane."
Maybe Not So Good!
Dr. F. C. Allen will probably be greatly pleased to hear how his pet has become the greatest of the conditioning sports in the navy, but is probably not so all "het up" over doing away with the finer points of basketball which has made it the game that it is. Wickhorst states that the coaches are no longer concerned with developing star players or mapping fancy point-getting plays. This is similar to what Allen predicted early in the season when he stated that the service type of ball on the whole would be of the rough, helter-skelter, jam-bang variety. Maybe a game with more rough play and bodily contact does make for a better
Irish Rascals, V-12's Will Clash Tonight
The leaders of the Lawrence Community Basketball League will be determined tonight when the two remaining undefeated teams, V-12 and the Irish Rascals, clash in the opening game of tonight's double-header.
Comparing past scores, the V-12's appear as top-heavy favorites in the battle, for they swamped both the S.O.W. Ads, and the S.O.W. Techs, by large scores, while the Rascals won from the Ads, by four points and from the Techs, with a one point margin.
In the second game of the evening, the two S.O.W. teams, the Ads and the Techs., will have their own little private duel with even odds on both.
John Laffer Is Promoted To Sergeant in Air Force
John H. Laffer, 26, of Detroit, Mieh, and graduate of the University of Kansas in 1939, has been promoted to sergeant, the headquarters of the army air forces, Eastern Technical Training Command, Greensboro, N.C., announced recently.
Sgt. Laffer is a supervisor master of the Organization section of the Statistical Central Unit at headquarters.
Major C. K. Shore, Publisher Promoted to Lt. Colonel
Major Chester K. Shore, a graduate in 1925, who is owner of the Augusta Gazette, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel recently.
Colonel Shore, stationed in Washington, D. C., is head of the intelligence section of the army air forces.
While at the University, he was a member of Sachem, honorary fraternity for senior men; a member of Sigma Delta Chi, men's journalism fraternity; and Acadia fraternity.
conditioner of flyers. But we don't believe so. A good flyer should have precision, timing, and be most accurate along with being able to handle his plane with agility. Why shouldn't these qualifications fit up more with the game of basketball as it should be played—free from contact with good footwork and control, control being the man essentials. Thus, when a difficult situation is encountered behind the controls of a plane, one can act coolly with precision rather than madly trying to jam his way out as is taught in a game of basketball when the rule book is thrown away.

Phi Psi's Threaten, Win Over Sigma Chi's
The Phi Psi's have served notice to other A League teams that they will bear watching as they trampled the Sigma Chi's into the ground Monday night, 45 to 28, with two navy boys, Luring and Pyle, scoring all but 10 of their points.
Luring counted 18 points and Pyle only one less, with 17. High for the losers was Schroll, who scored eight points all in the last half.
It is now possible for Kansas raw materials to compete commercially with other sources of aluminum. Details of the process for the extraction of aluminum from Kansas clays developed by the Kansas State Geological survey at the University, were announced this week in a publication by the survey.
The Phi Gams, who with the Blanks and Phi Psi's are A League favorites, continued their winning ways by swamping the Teke's last night, 29 to 15. Whittenberger, hefty Phi Gam post man, scored 17 points to take top honors.
The process is in response to an appeal by the Federal Government for new sources of this critical war material. Dr. John C. Frye, assistant state geologist, is director of the survey.
Aluminum From Clay Revealed as Process
The process for extracting aluminum from Kansas raw materials is essentially the old soda-sinter process with a new method, devised in the laboratories of the State Geological survey, for controlling the impurities in the solution from which the aluminum hydroxide is precipitated, the report states. This method consists of the fractional precipitation of impurities by carbon dioxide gas and their removal by filtering. University officials believe that this development of this method may make it possible for this Kansas source of aluminum to compete commercially with other aluminum sources.
Developed By E. D. Kinney
The process was developed through research by E.D. Kinney, associate professor of mining and metallurgical engineering, in collaboration with the State Geological Survey whose headquarters are located here at the University.
"Kansas has immense deposits of easily mined clay with an almost inexhaustible supply containing at least 25 per cent aluminum oxide," said Prof. Kinney. "Some other states have richer clays than are now known to exist in Kansas, but in general, the deposits are of lesser extent. Because of the abundance of cheap gas, limestone, and water—all needed in processing—together with a usable method of extraction . . . it is believed that high-grade aluminum can be produced in Kansas at a cost that will compare favorably with production costs elsewhere."

Distribution of 4-F's Mapped by Geologist North Rates Best
Albuquerque, New Mex. (ACP)—It's a simple matter to make a geologist happy. Just give him a set of statistics and he is quite likely to make a map out of them.
That's what Dr. Stuart A. Northrop, head of the University of New Mexico geology department, did with the statistics from General Hershey's annual Selective Service report published recently. Dr. Northrop's map shows the distribution of 4-F's throughout the nation.
General Hershey reported that 2,206,115 registrants out of a total of 26,332,900 have been placed in class 4-F, which is composed of men classified as "mentally, morally, or physically unacceptable to the armed forces." The percentages for the individual states ranges from 5.2 for Wyoming and 5.3 for Utah to 11.6 for Louisiana and 12.8 for the District of Columbia.
Dr. Northrop used five different colors on the map to distinguish percentage ranges. All of the healthy states are in the north; all of the unhealthy states are in the south and southeast. This indicates some correlation between climate and 4-F's.
To Play French, Spanish Recordings French and -Spanish recordings will be played at the following times and places this week:
Today, French room 113, Frank Strong at 2:30, and Spanish room 109, at 3:30. Thursday, French records will be played in room 111 at 3:30.

Eberhardt Conducts Handicraft School
Margaret Eberhardt, of the art department and the School of Education, conducted a handcraft school at Olathe on Monday and Tuesday in cooperation with Miss Bernicee Sloan, home demonstration agent of Johnson county. Fifty farm women volunteered for each class, one of which met from 10 to 12 in the morning, the other from 1 to 3:30 in the afternoon.
Through demonstration - pictures, and guidance of actual experience and practice, Miss Eberhardt taught the women in her two classes to weave place mats from slough grass, wheat straw, and cattails, to make costume pins from pine cones, to make Kansas bouquet pictures out of seeds, to make stencils which can be painted on cloth, and to model pottery from native Kansas clay. The cornhusk crafts of weaving, branding, designing husk dolls, and creating costume flowers were also included on the program.
Plans are being made for Miss Eberhardt to conduct a similar demonstration in Manhattan on Feb. 11.

Americans Beat Goring's Troops Near Littoria
Tattered remnants of what once was the cream of Adolf Hitler's army tangled with American invasion forces on the beachhead battlefront 35 miles south of Rome today, and came out second best. For the first time since Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark sent strong units of his Fifth army ashore in the Nettuno-Anzio area of the Italian west coast, American troops of the invasion command clashed with troops of the Hermann Goring panzer division in the vicinity of Littoria. The Nazis rushed northward from the Gustav line in a desperate enemy effort to counter the growing Allied threat to Rome. They attacked the reinforced American detachments but were soundly beaten.
Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson, reported in Washington, meanwhile, that the Allied situation in Italy is "highly satisfactory." But he warned that more German attacks are to be expected and that a fierce battle may yet develop for possession of Rome.
"Signs seem to point to a heavy battle south of Rome, and an enemy attempt to push the Allies into the sea." Stimson said. On the main battle line, 60 miles south of the invasion area, localized gains were made by American, British, and French troops. Allied naval units continued to bombard enemy troops, concentrations and supply lines to the north, while new aerial assaults were carried out despite unfavorable weather.
Victory Duo to Talk Before Preps, Rotary
Richard Stutz and Robert Stockton, members of the Victory Speakers' program, will speak at a special assembly of the Lawrence Memorial High School at 10:30 tomorrow morning, Prof. E. C. Buehler of the speech department announced today.
Stutz, engineering freshman from Topeka, has chosen as his subject "German Air-Power." Stockton, engineering freshman and V-12 student from Lawrence, will talk on "Traditions of the Navy," The Victory Speakers will also talk at the meeting of the Rotary club Monday.
Washington, (INS) — Price Administrator Chester Boyles today urged congressional approval of a $1,500,000,000 subsidy fund to enable OPA to hold down the cost of living for eight months. Testifying before a senate labor committee Boyles said that OPA can "hold the line" on the cost of living only if it has the vigorous support of "both Congress and the general public."
"Anyone interested in becoming members of the Victory Speaking teams should see me," announced Professor Buehler. "Calls are coming in from civic clubs, schools, and other organizations over the state requesting Victory Speakers on their programs, and it is a wonderful opportunity to get experience."

KU Student Wounded at Tarawa
Pvt. Milderd Harwood, a student from 1940 to 1942, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William T. Harwood, 910 Louisiana street, was reported wounded in the battle of Tarawa in yesterday's list of casualties, after a year of overseas duty. His mother, however, believes he is probably fighting once more in the South Pacific area, as she received a letter from him before being notified of his condition, that the wound he received was only a flesh wound.
At 1 a.m., Nov. 22, Private Harwood, who sent the Purple Heart awarded him to his parents about a month ago, disclosed in his letter that he was off the shore of Tarawa with other Marines watching the bombardment of the shore and waiting to be landed.
An hour later a sudden silence fell, and swiftly and silently the men prepared to land. Since the landing boats could get no closer to the shore than 200 to 300 yards, because of the coral reefs, Private Harwood and the others waded ashore.
He was established in his pillbox with metal flying all around him, when he was hit by a piece of shrapnel. The shrapnel broke his bayonet in half and lodged in his left shoulder. With his uninjured right arm, he continued firing. A short time later, the lieutenant with him was also wounded.
After a member of the hospital corps had dressed their wounds, the two made their way over the sea wall and waited there to be evacuated as waves of Marines attempted to land. Some were successful and some were not, Private Harwood said. Twelve hours after they had gone ashore with the first group, they were taken to a hospital ship.
Mrs. Harwood believed that the shrapnel hit the bayonet first and saved her son's life.
Campus Warmed By Spring-Like Atmosphere
March-like weather struck the campus today on the heels of balmy temperatures ranging above 60 degrees. Strong winds chased dark clouds across the skies in intermittent periods of clear skies, and temperatures dropped somewhat.
During the night thunderstorms and showers added to the springlike atmosphere.
The Lawrence fire department was called up on the Hill at about 2:15 o'clock this afternoon when a minor fire in Miller hall was reported. A stew pot left on the stove was found to have caused the trouble, and no serious damage resulted.
COLDER weather is forecast for tonight, and temperatures are expected to reach freezing before morning.

Band to Present 'Pops' Concert In Hoch Feb.7
A light musical show or "Pops" concert by the University band scheduled for Feb. 7, in Hoch auditorium, promises to be one of great variety and popular appeal, according to Russell L. Wiley, director.
The 85-piece band is streamlined to fit into the war program with a personnel of navy, army, and civilian men and about 30 women students. All members of the band-servicemen, civilians, and women—will perform in the colorful West Point uniform.
The Jayhawk Trumpeteers, a cornet trio, of one civilian and two navy men will be a part of the program.
The popular hits, Cole Porter's "Night and Day" and Sigmund Romberg's "Lover Come Back to Me" will be sung by the women's quartet. The men's quartet, composed of two army men and two navy men, will sing several numbers.
The band will play the "Victory Garden Suite" in three patriotic movements, "The Dance of Rhubard," "Boogie Woogie Broccoli," and "Carrot Capers."
George Rhodes, field drum major, and one of his star drum majorettes will be featured in routine twirling and fire baton spinning.
Activity tickets will admit students to the concert. Servicemen may attend without charge.
Dean Stockton Talks On Postwar Planning
Prof. F. T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, spoke Tuesday at a joint meeting of the State Federation of Labor, the Farm Bureau Federation, and the Associated Industries of Kansas, on the nature of postwar planning and some of its objectives, stressing the fact that, although many persons regard the termination of the war as the end of something, it is actually the beginning of a new way of life.
He also stated that to reach the post-war goals which have been formulated by the public in regard to a high standard of living, economic production in industry and agriculture must be increased from 25 to 50 per cent.
The meeting resulted, said Dean Stockton, in the organization of an executive committee, the Kansas Postwar Planning Council, which will represent the various industries of the state as well as labor and agriculture.
Dean Stockton is now chairman of the post-war planning committee of the lawrence Chamber of Commerce. From 1941 to 1943, he was chairman of the War Industries Planning Committee which functioned for the adjustment of this community to the problems that arose as the Sunflower Ordnance works was being established. This committee has since been discontinued.
"Looking Ahead Through 1944" will be the topic of Dean Stockton's speech when he addresses the Kiawanis club of Kansas City, Feb. 3. He will also attend the meeting of the State Chamber of Commerce in Topeka, Feb. 4.
Seniors Asked to Make Picture Appointments Friday
Students who will be graduated in March are urged by Virginia Schaefer, business manager of the Jayhawker, to make their appointments by Friday with the Jayhawker office to have their pictures taken. Pictures will be made next Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7 to 10:30
VanCitters Injured In Explosion In Chemistry Lab
The decision of Pvt. Robert Lee VanCitters, ASTRP, from Orange City, Iowa, to try one last experiment in his Chemistry II course, against repeated warnings not to do any unassigned work, ended differently from what he had anticipated yesterday afternoon when a compound exploded in his face.
Pvt. VanCitters received cuts on his face and neck and suffered shock from the explosion. He was rushed to Watkins Memorial hospital by Dr. Calvin VanderWerf and Dr. Harry H. Sisler, of the chemistry department. He is reported to have spent a "fairly good night."
The explosion, which occurred about 4 p.m. in the ASTRP laboratory, shattered two window panes and blew bottles of reagents off the shelves nearby, scattering glass over the room.
Yesterday being the last laboratory period for the ASTRP class, the students were preparing their equipment to check in, Frank E. Jirik, laboratory instructor, explained. Private VanCitters, who occupied a corner desk, was separated from most of the other students. He evidently decided to test the preparation of gunpowder, which he had learned in class, by mixing sulfur, potassium chlorate, and potassium permanganate. The experiment proved too successful!
"This was not a regular experiment!" Mr. Jirik hastened to add.
The loss resulting from the explosion was not great. The greatest expense will be the replacing of the window glass.
Students May Take Entry Exams Feb.5
Students who have failed to take the entrance examinations will have an opportunity to take them in Fraser theater on Saturday, Feb. 5, Prof. A. H. Turney, director of entrance examinations, announced today. The examinations will also be given to new ASTP students at that time. The psychological examination will be given at 8 a.m. and the aptitude test will be given at 2 p.m.
Further information regarding the psychological tests may be obtained from Professor Turney in room 121, Fraser hall.

Moscow, (INS)—In a special order of the day, Marshall Joseph Stalin order was addressed to the Len-Leningrad has been broken and that the second largest city in Russia "has been entirely liberated from the German blockade." Stalin's spec-announced today that the seige of ingrad fleet, the first such statement directed to the Russian naval forces.
A radio-electric course, a war training course for civilians, will be offered at Kansas State College beginning Feb. 7.
Women Lead Nine to One In Giving Blood
Approximately ninety per cent of the 208 students who have registered to donate their blood were women, it was announced by the registration committee early today.
Watkins hall heads the list with 21 members who have volunteered. Tabulations of other organized houses which have been well represented are as follows: Corbin, 18; Chi Omega, 16; Delta Gamma, 15; Kappa Alpha Theta, 14; Sigma Kappa and Kappa Kappa Gamma, 8; Alpha Delta Pi and Foster hall, 7; and Ricker hall and Harmon Co-op. 5. Many other houses were represented by two and three volunteers, including four organized houses for men, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Chai, Carruth hall, and Delta Tau Delta.
Army and navy men were not represented but Dr. Ralph I. Canutleton, chairman of the blood donor service of Douglas county, said that this was perhaps because they are having vacations at this time.
"Those who have not registered to donate their blood Feb. 3 and 4 may do so by calling the Community building, 640," said Dr. Canuteson. He also said that students between the ages of 18 and 21 may get their release blanks, which are to be signed by their parents, at the office of Watkins Memorial hospital.
Approximately two hundred books were collected by the YWCA for the World Student Service Fund committee in the book drive which began Jan. 11. The majority of the books are textbooks, the most common being language and English books.
Josephine Abbitt, who is in charge of recruiting student donors, will announce the percentage of registration of each organized house next week.
Book Drive Collects Two Hundred Texts
The books will be sent to students all over the world in prison camps. Most of the books are in fine condition. The rest are being cleaned to be sent to the National Service Fund, New York City. The official drive is over, but anyone who has some books to give may take them to Henley house. All kinds are acceptable.
The first platoon of the second company of electrician mates trainees arrived this morning from the west coast, Chief Yeoman George Starkey announced.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Kansas Is Important In Wartime America
Most of the country underrates Kansas. There are numerous jokes about Kansas, men in the service joke about being stationed in Kansas, and Kansans are kidded. But few realize the significance of Kansas—her industrial and agricultural strength, her untapped resources, her potential power in a post-war world.
Kansas is an agricultural state. She ranks above all other states in the production of wheat and flour milling, in production of alfalfa seed. She is among the first three states in acres of farm land, production of all cattle, and production of grain sorghums. And she is maong the first ten states in production of corn, rye, eggs, hogs, and chickens. The farm lands of Kansas supply vital food for the nation and will help feed the world after the war.
Kansas is an industrial state. First to discover and produce helium gas, she has forged ahead in industry using other valuable minerals found in Kansas such as zinc, coal, lead, natural gas, and petroleum. Kansas war plants manufacturing aircraft, pharmaceutical supplies, explosives, and other vital supplies work night and day for the war effort.
Kansas is a progressive state. She has more newspapers per capita than any other state in the country. She is among the first five states in college students per 1000 population, in percentage of persons between ages 5 and 24 attending school in percentage of high school students being graduated, in percentage of literacy.
In the geographical center of the United States where East meets West and farm meets factory and where the people are progressing toward a better world, Kansans are proud of their state, and visitors should welcome their opportunities here.
Letters to the Editor
When a nation is at war, ostensibly fighting for world-wide all-encompassing justice, it becomes a serious and dangerous matter for the nation to openly (and sometimes not so openly) violate basic justice and democracy within its own boundaries. When fully 13 millions within the nation are made to suffer the injustice, it becomes the duty of the remaining 120 millions to investigate the discrepancy between ostensible ideals and actual practice.
The American Red Cross segregates blood plasma donated by Negro and white citizens. This practice, as most Americans can testify, is completely without scientific basis. Thousands of record cases involving blood transfusions prove that there is not an iota of difference between the blood types of any race on earth. No scientific, that is no rational or honest vindication of this policy of the Red Cross has yet been forwarded; the practice of the semi-official organization seems to be founded on an assumed national prejudice.
No soldier seriously wounded on a battle field, or no civilian in a corresponding situation would waste his few conscious moments in demanding the case history of the blood about to be transfused in his veins to save his life; merely to imagine such a situation is an absurdity. Consequently, if the Red Cross assumes a national prejudice on this score, it is completely mistaken in doing so. Meanwhile, it implies an ideology that is almost identical to that upheld by the fascists, and against which nearly ten million Americans have pledged their lives.
Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA HEDRICK
Unexpected guests: It seems that the carine inhabitants of the medical "Doghouse" are frequently so appealing that the medics often hate to experiment on them. Consequently, when faced with a soft-eyed mongrel, Maurice Jewell bought her and took her down to the Sigma Chi barracks. Then came the rude awakening. The other morning he woke to find four more than he had expected. The puppies look like their mama (Hines, 57 different varieties).
--pared to leave, graciously thanked the hostess, then turned and walked into the closet.
You've heard about things like this, but seeing is believing. Members of the Kappa sophomore class were invited over to a buffet supper at Libby Prentice's home, Tuesday evening. After stuffing herself into apparent oblivion, one guest prepared to leave, graciously thanked the hostess, then turned and walked into the closet.
The issues are too clearcut and solidly stacked in this war to carelessly waive such problems by terming them unimportant and emotional. In the past decade we've seen the impossible and unbelievable blossom into wretched actuality time and time again, with the particular origins bearing a remarkable resemblance to the type of dangerous prejudice involved in this question of blood segregation.
In the final analysis, this policy of the Red Cross becomes one of the numerous means of telling 13 million American citizens that they are not fit to be Americans. In one sense, it is the subtlest method, and in another, the crudest. In no sense can it be justified; but nevertheless, 120 millions of Americans (including a few thousand in Lawrence and KU) stand calmly by, floridly sell and purchase war bonds, and maintain a ten-mile-an-hour intellectual convincing themselves that they are fighting for human emancipation and democracy. In this case the Negro alone exhibits the true human dignity that the nation as a whole seeks to deny him—Pvt. I.K.
Pep Rally Is News in Illinois
After the Friday night birthday ball of the President, the civic minded citizens of Lawrence and Douglas county will turn their thoughts and efforts to the coming drive of the Red Cross to collect blood for the armed forces.
The first Illinois Institute of Technology pep rally in almost three years was held recently to spur the basketball team to victory over the University of Chicago.
Yet, in spite of their efforts there will be many healthy students who will refuse to give their blood, why? Because of an entirely unnecessary practice of the Red Cross to segregate Negro blood. Yes, the willing students who will not give their blood are Negro students. Nevertheless blood is sorely needed for the medical defense of our fighting forces.
Every basic reason set forth by the Red Cross in defense of this practice has been thoroughly disproved by science. Perhaps some of the advocates for segregation of non-white blood also advocate that serum made from rabbit's blood for influenza should be labeled "rabbit's serum" for use on rabbits only. There is as much reason.
Kansas University is a seat of learning and all of us as intelligent people should give intelligent thought to this matter. It is folly for us to die for the liberation of the rest of the world if we maintain such dictatorial practices at home. Is this democracy? -T.H.

Paging Shylack: Donna Burkhead and Jeanette Shears, Chi O's, accepted the assignment of bringing in some live bedbugs for their Insects and Public Health class. They captured their boozy at a poultry house, then went back to the Chi O house where they pondered long on how they were going to feed them. A blood donor bank was suggested but hastily vetored by other members of the sorority. The feeding situation was solved when four of the insects escaped somewhere in the house. It is hoped that somehow, somewhere, someday (soon) they can be found, before they start multiplying.

Students Convert KU By Clever Camouflage
New Plaid Shirts NOW READY!
911 Mass. St.
A map showing how the Univer-sity may be camouflaged is now on display in the camouflage room in the basement of Spooner-Thayer museum. An aerial disguise for the buildings and grounds of the Univer-sity was the assignment given camouflage students by T. D. Jones, professor of design.
From large maps of the campus the students discovered that the stadium is visible from a height of 20,000 feet. The smokestack and Frank Strong hall, because of their peculiar shapes, gave the camoflagers no little trouble, to say nothing of Potter's lake with its disturbing ability to reflect light.
Foliage Reduces Shadows
"The purpose of the course," said Professor Jones, "is to educate the people so that they can better understand the techniques involved and be able to co-operate intelligently with any camouflage problem that may be carried out."
Shadows present a difficult situation because, from the shadows cast by a building, the aerial observer can tell just what kind of a building it is—barn, factory, hanger, or house. Putting fake foliage around the edge of the roof will produce a jagged, indistinguishable shadow. Point Deceives the Enemy
Paint Deceives the Enemy
"The camouflage exhibit is open to the public at all times," added Professor Jones. "I think that the service men in particular would be interested in seeing the work that has been done."
Painting over half of a large factory building in camouflage colors will make it look like a regular house. Covering a bridge with netting and constructing a fake bridge and road will deceive the enemy from the air. Runways on an airfield are particularly hard to conceal because they are a bright, silver color, and the field itself covers an immense amount of territory. The runways may be painted over to tone in with the surroundings, and a fake town

built on the field will confuse the enemy.
New Kansas Jayhawks now on sale.
Hamburg, Germany, was an example of unsuccessful camouflaging. A bridge was camouflaged and a fake one set up further down the river. The plan fell through because the enemy neglected to change the color of the fake vegetation with the changing season.
A decoy gun made of plaster of paris often deceives the enemy.
Bernard Frazier, instructor in design, constructed a technique for dummy rocks which was adopted by the army last year.

The infra-red photo is used to detect fake constructions. This film cuts the haze and reveals any faked grass or foliage not painted with ultra-violet paint. False trees take on a black-out appearance in the picture.
Precision Bombing Vital in U. S.
Precision bombing is the type most concerned with in this country. A camouflage good enough to cause the enemy to delay 25 seconds will give those below time to get their anti-aircraft guns aimed. The purpose here is to confuse and delay the enemy rather than to hide the object.
Garnished netting made by weaving strips of cloth into meshes is one of the most widely used camouflage materials. Paper, seaweed, and chicken feathers can be used. Or the nets may be of fish net, chicken wire, or especially made wire netting. Spun glass on wire gives effect of grass.
A Civilian Defense Project
The camouflage class at the University was started by the Office of Civilian Defense two years ago. Selected universities and schools over the country sent representatives to Ft. Belvoir, Va., to study at the army camouflage school there. Professor Jones represented the University and is the coordinator of the course here.

V-12's Win Lead In Local League
Continuing their fast pace, the V-12's defeated the Irish Rascals 50-32 last night to become undisputed leaders of the Lawrence Community Basketball League.
Although suffering from lack of reserves the Irish Rascals, led by Hare with 20 points, fought hard and not until the latter part of the game did the Navy team secure a comfortable winning margin. Hare, towering Indian from Haskell, displayed fine ball-handling abilities, and connected several times with a difficult two-handed shot from above his head.
Lutz with 14 points, and Pyle with 10 points, led the V-12 scoring. Half-time score was 19 to 17, V-12.
In the second game of the evening, the S.O.W. Ads rolled over the S.O.W. Techs 39 to 23 to gain local superiority in the S.O.W. camp. Hoke, Ads forward, led the scoring with nine points, followed by Hole, of the Techs, and Anderson, of the Ads, with eight each. The Ads were far in front at the half, 18-4.
Tonight the Blanks will meet the Machinist's Mates in the first game of the evening, and the S.O.W. Ads will oppose the Ship's Company in the second game, a change to present the MM's from meeting both the Blanks and V-12's tonight as was previously scheduled.
The MM's are expected to rebound from the poor form shown against Ship's Company last week, and are slightly favored over the Blanks. The second game, however, is expected to be, as Chief Starkey, League manager, expressed it, "one of those rolling affairs between two heavy teams."
Brahms' Symphony Played At Music Club Meeting
Records of Brahms "Fourth Symphony" were played at the meeting of the Music Appreciation club, from 4:30 to 5:30 yesterday afternoon, in the Music room of the Union building. Helen Wilkins, senior, gave a short background talk on the music.
From now on, the meetings will be held on Tuesday afternoons at the same time and place, it was decided yesterday. Next week records of Mozart and Listz will be played, and the background talk will be given by Marianne Glad, junior.

From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
The University's breaking of all athletic relations with Oklahoma A & M. last year was a mighty good thing. And not so much either just because Henry Iba got mad in the Aggie game here last year and left only four men on the court after a couple of his stars had fouled out. The reason for our statement is that it just wouldn't be fair to match a youthful Kansas team against a team that has gone farther than far enough in getting two professional athletes to play on their team. We thought it was bad in the football season when Missouri used three three-year men, Reece, Mortan, and Ekern, and when Oklahoma used Brumley, a naval instructor and Rice graduate. But that was within the relaxed Big Six wartime ruling which did permit any regularly enrolled student to participate in athletics. This ruling, however, has been done away with and there will be no more graduates, four-year men, or otherwise playing in the conference next fall.
Aggie Case Different
But the Aggies have gone ever further and are using two professional athletes, both in their late twenties, who were playing high school ball when most of the present crop of athletes were still in short pants. In Burdette, who recently scored 24 points against Oklahoma Iba has an old A.A.U. veteran who played several years with Oklahoma City teams. Doyle is a former professional baseball player who played with Louisville before going to the Boston Red Sox. Surely the Missouri Valley conference hasn't let the gates wide open to the extent that pros can enroll in school and participate! And the case of Burdette is even a greater puzzle. Burdette is an army instructor at the Stillwater school and even if he were attending some classes they would still not be classified as a student. Furthermore, if the army forbids its trainees who are bona fide students at the college they are assigned to, from playing football, how can an army instructor, a post grad, play basketball? If Iba wanted to have a ball club of ex-stars, why didn't he just draft the Phillips 66 Oilers, for Bartlesville is near by.
Moffett OK?
Dr. R. I. Canuteson stated this morning that Charles Moffett, the Jayhaw's high scorer, will be able to make the Iowa State trip sure and with no fever in the last 24 hours Moffett states that he will be able to play. The fact that he has been in bed for four days will no doubt leave him in such a weakened condition that he will be unavailable for much of the Cyclone tussle. Dr. Allen has announced that his beginning combination will likely be Barrington and Lindquist, forwards; Sherwood, center; and Captain McSpadden and either Diehl or Stucker at the guard posts. Big Abe Turner may also see considerable action if Barrington does not get over his fouling

Several transfer students have written inquiring about their advanced standing with the University. Mr.Woodruff said he had answered letters to students living in states as far away as New York and New Jersey, as well as students of Kansas and the neighboring states.
Letters from high school seniors asking for information about the University have begun to arrive at the registration office, L. C. Woodruff, registrar said. At least a dozen requests a day received since the first of the year shows no waning interest for college educations.
Although the majority of letters are written by girls, the number is no less than that of previous years

Women to Start Fourth Course In Aeronautics
Women trainees are expected to arrive this weekend in preparation for the fourth course in aeronautical engineering which will begin Monday under the sponsorship of the Boeing Airplane company of Wichita and North American Aviation Inc. of Kansas City, Mo.
"The companies have not yet sent word as to what the exact enrollment of the new course will be," Prof. H. S. Stillwell of the University aeronautical department stated yesterday, "but, according to present plans, the Boeing company expects to have about 25 women in training, and North American Aviation hopes to sponsor 30 women."
Training for 13 Weeks
The new course will feature a 13-weeks' training period in place of the previous 12-weeks' program. Women in training will be in class 48 hours a week and will receive a more varied course than has been offered before. Those training for positions in the Boeing factory will be especially fitted to work as tool engineers. Their training will include courses in aircraft drafting, aircraft material and processes, applied mathematics, aircraft terminology, assembly drawing, analysis of standard parts, and processing laboratory work. Women sponsored by North American Aviation will be trained in other branches of engineering with a similar course, but they will not attend the processing laboratory.
25 Points Lost in Miller Fire
"Miller hall's on fire!" was the startled exclamation heard yesterday when two fire engines and a fire chief's car clanged noisily down Lilac Lane and stopped, with a screeching of brakes, in front of Miller hall.
Students with classes in Fraser and Blake interrupted class sessions by rushing to the windows or out-of-doors. A group of spectators collected in a surprisingly short time in the front yard, from where they could see smoke billowing out of a window on the first floor.
Inside, all was confusion. Miller girls dashed wildly down into their individual kitchens to see if something had been left on the stove. Just as the firemen were rushing in the door, the girls noticed that the smoke was not coming from the kitchens in the basement, but from the door of the housemother's living room, which connected with the hall. The door was locked. One of the girls called up Building and Grounds, and told them to rush over a duplicate key. While the firemen eyed their axes wistfully, the Building and Grounds man came with the key.
When the door was opened, the firemen found a pot containing what was left of a roast, charred and blackened beyond recognition. Audibly expressing his disgust, a fireman gingerly picked up the roast and deposited it in the yard. Speetators laughingly dispersed as the chagrined firemen got back into their fire engines and drove away.
K.U. Men Opposed To Women in Uniform, Kansan Poll Reveals
Waging fast and furious currently is the argument as to whether or not college women should join one of the armed forces either before or after graduation. After a majority of the college women polled on the subject said no, the question was taken up heatedly by several AST's stationed on the campus. The Kansas decided to extend the voting to University men in general, and the result of the latest poll shows that college men believe college women should definitely not join the armed forces before graduation, and would prefer that they did not join at all.
On the "con" side of the question,
John Gosnell, College freshman,
said, "No, it's a mistake for women to join, because a woman's place is in the home."
Wood Runyan, College sophomore, stated, "I don't think women should join any of the services. In the first place they should stay in school and get an education. Besides, I don't think their joining will do any constructive good, because the Army has too many men already."
(The day after giving the above statement to the Kansan, Mr. Runyan left for Leavenworth—he'd been grafted!).
"I don't think women should be in the armed forces," said Thomas Woods, third year law student, "because I can't see any useful purpose that they can perform there. They are more of a disruptive influence than they are a benefit."
Nor were civilians alone opposed to women's joining the armed services. Here are some of the objections raised by AST's and V-12's on the campus.
William Roddy, AST. said, "I think that, for a woman, joining the armed services is the most foolish, ridiculous, childish thing a person could do. The only reason women join those things is because of the mistaken idea of glamor and glory that the uniform implies."
Donald M. Sullivan, AST,
declared, "The Army is definitely not a place for the women. The women have the 'say so' at home; why should they have it in the Army?" Robert Turner, V-12. "I don't
(continued to page three)
Elwood Morgan, College junior, said. "If a woman should decide to go into service, it is very noble of her. However, I think the women should remain at home."
"I think that many girls can really help by doing office work in some branch of the service, but I can see no point in college girls joining," said Robert Noll, College freshman

Opera Company To Do 'The Bat' In Hoch Feb. 9
The Philadelphia Opera company with its supporting symphony orchestra, ballet, elaborate scenery, and lavish array of costumes will give a performance in English of the brilliant and humorous opera, "The Bat," Feb. 9, Dean D. M. Swarthout announced today.
Made up of over 70 persons, the opera company is the only group of its size now touring America. It is currently in the fifth year of its sixth season and is dated for more than 100 performances on the 1943 and 1944 calendar.
Legislative Council Must Compromise
The Philadelphia Opera company, stressing the use of English in its productions, is giving special attention to the librettos of the operas scheduled for performance this season. Dean Swarthout said that the texts have been prepared in the everyday language that is used and understood by the average citizen. The company also places great emphasis on clear enunciation, for it knows that opera in English is assured of greater success if audiences have no difficulty in understanding the words as spoken or sung.
KU Officials Honored Tonight
Activity tickets admit students to the opera. Reservations can be made at the School of Fine Arts office in Frank Strong hall.
Topeka (INS) — Members of the Kansas legislative council failed to agree today on proposals they have been considering for the revamping of the state's school laws. A sopkiesman for the council said however, that a compromise will be worked out before the next regular session of the lesigature. It was indicated that the compromise probably would provide for a lay board to handle elementary schools. The council disagreed on the proposals that the state Board of Regents govern them. The council also split on the proposal that the office of state superintendent be made appointive instead of elective.
Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W, Malott, Lt. Col. and Mrs. W, L. McMorris, and Lt. and Mrs. A. H Buhl will be honored guests at the President's birthday ball in the Community building from 9 p.m. to 1 am. tonight.

K. U. MEN---remarked, "My sister is an Air-WAC, so of course I think it's a fine thing."
"I don't think much of the WACs, and I don't advise women to join." was the opinion of James Watson, AST.
There was a "pro" side to the question, but most of the favorable answers received contained some sort of qualifying clause.
Denton Grotjan, V-12, for example, answered, "I think it's all right (for women to join), but I don't think women are feminine enough in this kind of work. I think it's a sacrifice on the girl's part."

In addition, five seniors and five juniors were elected to the fraternity. The seniors are James V. Walker, Hoisington; James D. Walker, Hugoton; James D. Van Sickle, Topek; Melvin L. Hicks, Lawrence; Frank H. Gage, Kansas City, Mo.
The juniors are Henry G. Moon, Wichita; Clinton C. Sloan, Missoula, Mont.; Robert F. Maurer, St. Louis, Mo.; Lee F. Miller, Boise, Ida.; and Willard C. Hargiss, Kansas City.
"It's all right to join," said Victor Guthrie, AST, "but I wouldn't want to be one, if I were a girl. They haven't got such a hot reputation."
Edward Dumelle, AST, said, 'I don't want my girl in the armed services because when I get leave, I want her to be home there, waiting for me! That's the only thing I could possibly have against them—otherwise, I think that they're working hard and doing a good job."
A few of the men questioned, however, gave their unqualified approval of the women's branches.
"Why, the very reason that I joined the ASTP was for the WAC, more or less," said Edward Alba, AST. "They say that every 10th man coming into the ASTP releases a WAC for active service. I felt it my patriotic duty, because after all, the WACs are doing a lot of good."
Walter Ackerman, ASTP said,
"Personally, the WAC seems like a pretty good deal to me. I can't understand why more girls don't join. If I were a girl, I'd be one of the first to answer the call."

The Red Cross surgical dressing unit is located in the Junior High School building, on the corner of Ninth and Kentucky streets.
The marriage of Cathine E. Gibson to Aviation Cadet Carl E. Johnson, both of Chanute, took place Saturday night at the Presbyterian church in Chanute.
Gibson-Johnson Marriage Announced
Although University women have co-operated with the Red Cross, there is still need for more help, according to Mrs. Hovey Hanna, chairman of the surgical dressing unit. She said that the time when there is lack of help to wrap bandages was from 9:30 to 4:30, and during the noon hour, on Tuesday and Thursday.
Co-eds to Entertain Service Men Again
Cadet Johnson, a former student in the School of Fine Arts, enlisted in the summer of 1942. He is now receiving his basic training at the Coffeville air field.
Music will be furnished by the public address system. The dance is being sponsored by the Union building activities committee. All University women are invited to help entertain the men.
Another Union conteen dance will be held Saturday afternoon from 3 to 5 in the Union Lounge of the Union building. All service men and civilians, with activity tickets will be admitted free.
Paul Adams, V-12, likewise answered, "I'm for it! If women are going to share in the political, economic and professional side of our life, they are duty-bound to accept the military too, the same as men. We may hear about the lowering of morals of women in the service, but I am inclined to doubt that a uniform would change any normal mature person that much."
"I think women should join," declared William Comstock, AST
James Wray, AST, said, "I think that women should have rights equal in all matters to those men have; and, therefore, if they can take a little responsibility along with the men at a time when the nation reeds them, that is another step toward more complete equality for all."

Iowa State Tilt Tomorrow Night KU's Big Test
The rejuvenated Kansas Jayhawks will face their biggest test of the season tomorrow night when they take on the tail, experienced Iowa State Cyclones at Ames, in an important Big Six game.
Untried as yet in conference play with three victories over the second division clubs—Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas State—the Cyclones will be meeting the first of the pre-season favorites when they take on Kansas. Iowa State was a predominant favorite to replace the Jayawakes as Big Six champs, with Oklahoma and Kansas expected to finish second and third in that order. The Crimson and Blue's great showing against Oklahoma last Friday anquished all doubts that developed after the Missouri debacle, and many experts are doping the Jayawkes to pull an upset on the Cyclones.
Iowa State is coached by Lou Menze, a former pupil of Dr. Allen at Warrensburg. Allen and Menze are the closest of friends, the latter having resided with Allen when "the master" was starting down his long victory trail at the Missouri school. Leven in Jayhawk Squad
Allen, Trainer Dean Nesmith, and squad of eleven will leave by train or Ames this evening. Making the trip are Don Barrington, Bill Lindquist, Charles Moffett, Harold Mepadden, Homer Sherwood, Don Biehl, George Dick, Gordan Stucker, Jean Corder, Lloyd Palmer, and job Turner.
All Allen could promise was that we'd give 'em a fight." He is quite indecided on his starting lineup but is sure of three men, Barrington and Lindquist at forwards and Captain McSpadden at a guard. Either Charles Moffett, high-scoring center who has been in the hospital all week with sinus trouble, or Homer Sherwood will start at the "quarter-back" slot. The other guard position will be filled by either Gordan Stucker, Don Diehl, or George Dick. Iowa State Has Five Regulars
Iowa State will counter with five regulars from last year. At forward will be Roy and Ray Wehde, twin brothers, the latter of whom was high scorer for the Cyclones last season. All-American Price Brooklead, 6-4, 230 lb, offensive star from West Texas State, will start at center. Guards will be Bob Sauer, from Washington U. (St. Louis) and Gene Sulman, a Cyclone veteran. The latter two are fine defensive men and controlled backboard play in their recent game with Missouri.
Against Missouri, the team tna upset Kansas, 35 to 27, Iowa State was forced to come from behind to gain a 15 to 14 half time lead. In the final stanza the Tigers simply
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
That old 'Allen magic' has worked again this season when with what was generally called "the scariest material since 1529," Phog has come up with a team that no opponent dare take lightly. His Jayhawks gave the Oklahoma Sooners, current Big Six leaders, a whale of a battle in losing by a single point, 23 to 24, and had Barrington had any luck at all on his foul tosses and on his pivot shots, the outcome could have very easily been different. The Jayhawks are the decided underdogs in tomorrow night's duel with the Iowa State Cyclones, conference favorites, especially since Charles Moffet, who is concurrently two-tenths of a point out of first place in the conference individual scoring chase, has spent all week in a hospital with a sinus infection. Because of his weakened condition, he can not be counted on for too much service—but don't ever count Allen's team out.
Another Handicap?
The Cyclones great wealth of material taken granted, another point that might be given consideration is that Iowa State is about as tough a "home floor" team as there is in the conference. The Menzelen never won a game on the road last season, but were always to be reckoned with at Ames.
But He Know's What He's Doing
One thing that has marked this year's Jayhawk team is the fact that Dr. Allen has never been able to make up his mind on the exact five he wants to use. Last year he depended nearly wholly on the "iron five" until it was broken up by illness and army induction. But this year aside from Captain Sparky McSpafden, Bill Lingquist, Charles Mofet, and Don Barrington, the good doctor has had a dickens of a time deciding on that fifth man. At the first of the season he was using freshmen Dean Corder and Bob Malott quite extensively but because of their youth searched for older, experienced talent. A naval cadet, Cansler, stepped into the starting lineup a couple of games.
Diehl, Then Stucker
He was followed by a sophomore hefty, Don Diehl, who was in there most of December. Stucker, a football player who was late in reporting, then stepped into the lineup, and started in the Kansas City
gave in and with the Whede brothers and Brookfield showing the way. Iowa State romped to a 41 to 25 victory.
Should Kansas lose this one, they will be eliminated from all chance of regaining their Big Six crown. Oklahoma now holds down first with five triumphs and no losses, the Cyclones are unbeaten in three starts, and Kansas is now resting in third with two and two. A Kansas loss would throw the Jayhawks into a tie with Missouri, who has won one out of three contests.

The date for the semi-finals for the Independent teams has not been set as yet. Miss Ruth Hoover, professor in physical education for women, stated.
Dean J. W. Twente of the School of Education will attend a meeting of the Wilson County Teachers Association in Fredonia on Saturday. He will speak to the group on "What's right with Schools."

series. Lloyd Palmer, V-12 from Iowa, started in place of Stucker at that guard slot in the Missouri battle. Then Lou Goehring, freshman V-12 from Arkansas City, started the next two games against K-State and Oklahoma a few days after he had reported for practice. Goehring went out early in the season, but illness put him in sick bay for nearly three weeks. Now Goehring isn't even making the Iowa State trip and Dr. Allen is still undecided. At the guard he will either use Stucker Diehl, or Dick. By shifting the lineup Sherwood and Turner have also been given a try as "the fifth man." This problem has been confronting him all season. All Allen could ask for would be that one "star cager" could drop down out of the heavens and his worries would be over.
Margaret Lillard, Kappa, was the outstanding player in the game. She did nearly all the scoring for her team, making 16 of the 20 points. As fast as greased lightening, she slipped around the floor, and gave the Corbin women plenty to worry about. Laura Jane Smith was hitting for the Corbinites, and Francis James and Shirley Jean Rhodes experienced plenty of fire.
Four AST's to Have Furloughs in Hospital
The IWW's slaughtered the IND's in their game last night with a score of 46-8. Lavone Jacobson, a physical education major and an ace in basketball, made 20 points for the IWW's.
While their friends are enjoying furloughs at home, four AST's will spend their furloughs at Watkins hospital, according to Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson.
The women from Corbin hall were a little too much for the Kappa Kappa Gamma's last night in the game which decided the winner of Group II in the women's basketball tournament. The game was close throughout, and nicely played.
These four AST's are Vernon Converse, Robert Van Citters, Dean Baker, and Jack Stolov. Dr. Ca nuteson said that Pvt. Van Citters may be released in time to spend part of his furlough at home.
At the end of the first quarter the Kappa's were leading 5-1, but the lead had changed at the half. The Corbinites had a 10-8 favor. The margin was narrow, and both teams were fighting hard for the victory. At the end of the third quarter, it was anybody's guess as to the final score as the Kappa's were stepping on the heels of the Corbinites with the score 15-14, in favor of Corbin. Corbin hall won the game by chalking up 23 points to 20 for the Kappa's.

Bock Leads Blanks In Defeat of MM's
Scoring 29 points from his last position, Bob Bock, freshman from Macksville, led the Blanks to a 47-30 victory over the Machinist's Mates in Lawrence League basketball play last night. Although the Machinist's Mates have been strengthened by the addition of new material from the two Electrician Mates companies, they were handicapped by the absence of Koskela, leading scorer of the MM team.
Koskela, held from the game by night classes, has always been the spark for the MM's, and his guarding might have held down Bock's amazing performance.
Shea, with nine points, and Flick-
inger, with eight, led the MM scoring. The Blanks led at the half, 24-17.
In the second game of the evening the Ship's Company downed the S.O.W. Ads., 38-20. Ensign Ware led the games scoring with 12 points, followed by teammate Chief Hantze and S.O.W.'s Hertz with 11 each. Half-time score was 17-10, Ship's Company.

Queen to Be Chosen For Bond Dance Feb.12 at MS Hall
A Bond Queen will be chosen to preside at the Bond dance sponsored by the Union activities and the CVC. Feb. 12 in the Military Science building, Betty Jo O'Neal, CVC major, announced today.
The queen will be chosen the night of the dance from candidates entered from each of the organized houses. The names of these candidates must be turned in to Eugenia Heworth at the Pi Beta Phi house by Wednesday, Miss O'Neal advised.
Each 10 cent war stamp bought in addition to the 25 cent admission stamp will entitle the purchaser to a vote. These votes will be totaled, and the coed with the most will be crowned queen.

With the purchase of the 25 cent admission stamp, each person has a chance on a $25 war bond, which will be given by the CVC.
The Union Activities committee are Joanne Johnson, chairman, Anne Zimmerman, Jane Atwood, Mimi Nettles, Helen Gardner, Eugenia Hepworth, Wallace Grimes, Jerry Galligan, Richard Beach, and Stanley Hagler.
Activity Is Lessened By AST's Absence
The absence of the successful Army students from the campus for the next week will be the result of the week furlough which began Saturday for all trainees in good standing. This vacation marks the end of the second 12-week term of instruction which began Nov. 7. The third term will open Monday, Feb. 7.
The Army trainees were the only students who did not receive vacations at Christmas, because the holidays came in the middle of their term.
KU-Washburn Game Postponed to Feb. 2.
The return game between the University and Washiburn has been changed to Wednesday, Coach F. C. (Phog) Allen announced this afternoon. The game will start at 7:30 in Hoch auditorium. Military officials have objected to games on Tuesday and Thursday, necessitating the change.
37 Donors Added To Blood Bank As Goal Neared
With 37 additional contributors since Friday, the number of University students enrolling for the Red Cross blood bank has now reached a total of 250.
"The large number of students who are contributing to the blood bank is one of the greatest factors for its success." Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of Watkins Memorial hospital, said today. The community goal of 576 has nearly been reached, so any other students anxious to contribute their blood should enroll immediately by calling 640, he added.

The Sage of Emporia, William Allen White, who died at his home in Emporia Saturday, pictured when he was a Phi Delt and student at the University from '86-'90. Years in the world of journalism have etched deep lines in his face. His smile was just as spright as ever.
W. A. White Counselor Of Students
Time and again the years after William Allen White left the University he came back to talk to journalism classes, to convocations, to faculty meetings, and to Dad's Day banquets. He wrote letters to the students; he gave them advice; he did all he could to help and aid them in their problems. For ten years, the busy editor of the Emporia Gazette served as a member of the Board of Regents.
William Allen White was a champion of the students. "The ideal student is always in revolt," he said. "The faculty's business is to clamp down, and the student's business is to kick up. If students don't feel cramped, something is the matter with education, and probably it is with the students. They are dead in the shell."
When Dean Jimmie Green was allegedly "deceived" by Henry Ahrens, a student, into signing an affidavit of Ahren's eligibility to participate in sports, William Allen White wrote an understanding letter to the Kansan, champion of Ahrens. He wrote as an old friend who had romped, loafed, sorrowed, and been happy on the campus. He said he had been meaner than Ahrens or any of the men who had acted with him, but he tried to make the students understand that they were being disloyal to Green and that they owed him a debt for their actions.

The University of Kansas has lost a fine friend in the death of William Allen White, a friend who only once in more than fifty years of intimate association with the University failed to do what was asked of him. Time and again he acquiesced, whether it was to raise money, to write a letter, to head a committee, to preside at a banquet, or to give a lecture.
His one refusal shows the innate simplicity and modesty of a great man. It was in 1934 that the University asked of him the privilege of granting him an Honorary Degree. He flatly refused, saying that he feared it would "establish a dangerous precedent." The University had not given an honorary degree since the early eighteen-nineties. As a result of his refusal it has retained the policy to this day. For if it were not to grant one to its own William Allen White, surely there could be no other candidates, for no one is more enshrined in the traditions and the spirit of this University.
Senator Protests FDR's Action
Washington, (INS)—Senator Guy M. Gillette (Dem., Iowa) declared in a senate speech today that president Roosevelt violated the constitution in submitting "an argument" on the soldier vote issue while it is pending in congress. He vigorously protested against the action of Mr. Roosevelt, who last week sent a message to congress in which he denounced a pending bill for state absentee ballots as a fraud,
Emporia Sage Had Been Ill Nearly a Year
Funeral services for William Allen White, K.U. student in 1890, and noted editor of the Emporia Gazette, will be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the Memorial chapel of the College of Emporia.
The death of the 75-year-old "Sage of Emporia" came suddenly at 4:15 a.m. Saturday, although his health has been falling since nearly a year ago when he suffered an attack of influenza in New York. Last October, Mr. White underwent a major operation at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and has been confined to his home since that time. Mrs. White, who has been with her husband constantly during her illness, and his son, W. L. White, war correspondent and author, were present at the time of the famed Kansas editor's death.
Private Service First
A private funeral service will be held at the home before the public service, which many prominent persons, including Sen. Arthur Capper and Gov. Andrew Schoeppel, will attend.
Organ music for the service will be played by Dr Daniel A. Harehler, president of the College of Emporia, and Rev. Stephen J. Williams, pastor of the First Congregational church will read the scripture. The main address will be given by Henry J. Haskell, editor of the Kansas City Star and a friend of Mr.

ASNE Gold Medal Awarded to White
William Allen White was the first newspaper man to receive the gold medal for distinguished service to American journalism and letters given by the directors of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
The award was voted to the Emporia journalist in October but was not to have been presented to him until the April meeting of the organization. Mrs. White, however, knew of the award and informed her husband after his illness became critical.
The American Society of Newspaper Editors was organized in 1922. The constitution at that time limited membership principally to newspapers in cities of 50,000 population or more. It included a provisio, however, that editors from smaller cities could be admitted if they distinguished themselves so as to merit membership. Mr. White was the first such editor to become a member. He was elected president in 1938 and served a total of 20 years as director.
The medal will bear an inscription on one side and a relief of Mr. White on the other side.

William Allen White Will Live Forever In American Hearts
The sage of Kansas, the most lovable man in Kansas, the leader and molder of Kansas public opinion, died Saturday. William Allen White is a name which will always live in Kansas, in the hearts of those who knew him, and in his journalistic writings.
Mr. White was well known for his liberal political views, dating from Theodore Roosevelt's break from the Republican party. His recent call for all out-aid to the Allies showed his forethought and opened the eyes of many Americans.
Mr. White is best known to his friends and readers, however, as a human being—a real person to help others and guide fellow Americans in daily living. One White homily, which he applied to himself: "The path of glory is barred hog tight for the man who does not labor while he waits." As a simple man, he influenced his widespread reading public through his editorials, his short stories and novels, and his personal advice.
"What's the matter with Kansas?" an editorial written in 1896, brought Mr. White fame which he has retained throughout his long career. He was a really great country editor, and has proved to the world that the simple unassuming American is listened to and respected for his ideas and ideals.
The most famous journalist ever to attend Kansas University, Mr. White is a symbol of achievement which has inspired many young Americans and has made many men better. He will live on in the memory of those who knew him personally and of those who were influenced by him. Kansas will feel the loss of his guidance; Kansas will never forget him.
WAVE to Replace Navy Supply Officer
His duties to be taken over by WAVE Ensign Florence Buerckholtz, Ensign Charles J. Albert, supply and disbursing officer of the Naval Training school since September, 1943, will report to the Naval Operating Base at Norfolk, Va., for training for advanced base supply duties.
Although three WAVEs have been on duty here at the Naval Training station, this is the first instance that a member of the Ship's Company has been relieved for possible overseas duty by a WAVE, Chief Yeoman Starkey commented. He added, however, that more such replacements are expected.
Ensign Albert, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin in 1939, has had charge of the disbursing and supply for not only the Navy schools here, but also for the V-12 schools at Pittsburgh and Topeka, and the medical and dental students in Kansas City. All these duties will be assumed by Ensign Buercholt Feb. 1, the official date of transfer of the duties.
Commissioned in June, 1942, Ensign Albert was not ordered to active duty till January, 1943, when he became assistant to the disbursing officer at the Great Lakes Naval station for four months. He was then sent to the Harvard supply school for four months before coming to the navy school here.
Ensign Buercholtz, a graduate of Indiana University in 1937, enlisted in the Waves as an apprentice seaman in December, 1942. Sent to Radcliffe College in Boston, she received her commission after ten weeks training. Before coming here, she received more training at the Harvard Supply corps school.

Rose from Country Weekly
William Allen White, who rose from the backroom of a country weekly to a world-famed editorial writer, was born Feb. 10, 1868, in Emporia, Kansas, his life-long home, the son of Dr. Allen White, a pioneer physician. To his mother, a school teacher, Mr. White gave much credit for his success, for it was through her efforts, after his father died when Mr. White was only 14, that he was able to continue his education. She sent him to the University of Kansas, moving to Lawrence with him while he attended.
He described his World War I experiences as observer for the American Red Cross in France and reporter of the peace conference in his book, "Martial Adventures of Henry and Me."
Beginning his newspaper work at the age of 10, earning $1.50 weekly in the printing office of the Butler County Democrat at ElDorado, Kansas, William Allen White later, at the age of 24, became editorial writer on the Kansas City Star, While in Kansas; City, he married Miss Sally Lindsay, in 1893, and in 1895 borrowed $3,000 to buy the Emporia Gazette, which he never left, in spite of numerous offers from metropolitan papers. The announcement of his purchase of the paper, which he wrote in editorial style, has been reprinted in journalism textbooks as an ideal creed for a community newspaper editor.
Soon Recognized As Author
Politically connected with the Republican party, Mr. White broke from its ranks in 1924 to run as independent candidate for governor.
Mr. White's reputation as an author began in 1896, when he wrote "The Real Issue" and was well established by 1906, when his novel, "A Certain Rich Man" appeared with a sale of 250,000 copies.

Any coast guardsmen and marines will have to see Wimpy at the Sheepshead Training station, Brooklyn. New York, to compliment him on his work.
Faculty Members Go To White's Funeral
Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott, Mr. Fred Harris of Ottawa, former chairman of the Board of Regents, and Mrs. Harris will drive to Emporia today for the funeral of William Allen White.
Others from the University who will attend the funeral are K. W. Davidson, director of information and Mrs. Davidson; Fred Elsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association; Mrs. D. Gagliardo, wife of Professor Gagliardo who is now on leave, and her son, David; Prof. L. N. Flint of the journalism department; and Mrs. P. H. Klinkengerg, Alpha Omicron Pi housemother.
The issue in the campaign was Mr. White's protest against the Ku Klux Klan, and although he was defeated, he broke the grip of the Klan in Kansas.
His prominence became greater and his circle of friends grew, including seven presidents. A famous pacifist, he attended many international meetings to settle unrest between various countries.
The death of his daughter in 1921 was a great tragedy to William Alen White. However, his son, William L. White, has carried on the White tradition, becoming a well-known correspondent and author.
Had Many Friends
During the last several years, Mr. White has been writing an autobiography which will be finished by his son at an early date. His last political editors, written shortly before he went to the Mayo Clinic, are entitled "Republican Prospects" and "Democratic Prospects" and discuss present political trends in the same masterful, sarcastic note which he used in "What's the Matter With Kansas?", the editorial which first brought him prominence.
The death of William Allen White marks the end of one of America's most famous personal journalists and a great friend of the people of Kansas and the University.
Explosion Victim Is In Good Condition
Pvt. Robert Lee Van Citters, ASTRP, from Orange City, Iowa, whose unscheduled experiment on gunpowder exploded in his face Wednesday afternoon, in the ASTP Chemistry II class, is reported in good condition and will be released in several days.
In commenting on the explosion, Dean Paul B. Lawson remarked that it was one of the largest explosions in the chemistry building for several years, which has withstood minor fires and explosions for a remarkably long time, considering its wood construction inside. Dean Lawson added that while burning down Bailey laboratories might be a good way to get a new chemistry building, wartime was a poor time to try it, with priorities on building material.

Jayhawks Lose To Iowa State At Ames, 29-40
The Kansas Jayhawks lost nearly all chances of regaining their Big Six crown as the Iowa State Cyclones, conference favorites, put on a big final half rally to down the Crimson and Blue, 40 to 29, at Ames Saturday night. The score was knotted at intermission at 17-all.
With "Lady Luck" still on their side, the Oklahoma Sooners won out over Missouri, 27 to 26 Saturday after staying behind most of the game. Trailing 10 to 17 at the half, the Oklahomaans played "keep away" after Pryor made the winning bucket with 5 minutes yet to play. Thus Oklahoma is still in first place with six wins and no losses and with the Cyclones also undefeated in four contests. These two teams will have if out at Norman Saturday night in a crucial battle.
Jayhaws Left in Third Place
The Jayhawk's loss left them in third place with two triumphs as against three losses. However, fourth place Missouri has also lost but three games, while winning one. Nebraska and Kansas State bring he rear with no victories in three and four starts respectively. In addition to the Norman game Saturday, the conference schedule lists two other games this week. K-State and Nebraska meet in a battle of the all-enders Tuesday night at Lincoln, while Missouri should draw up to tie with Kansas when they invade the Husker court Saturday night.
The margin of victory in the Cycleone-Jayhawk encounter seems wrapped up in the personage of Price Brookfield, much publicized Cyclone naval air cadet. Brookfield scored seven field goals and four free throws for an 18 point total to soar in the conference individual scoring race. Moffett, Kansas' scoring ace, played only a little less than half the game as his week's siesta in the hospital had left him in a weakened condition. Moffett scored only three points, his field goal being the opening counter, to lower his average considerably. However, Oklahoma's Ramsey and Paine muffed their chance to jump out ahead by scoring only five points apiece against the defensive-minded Missouri Tigers. Kansas Ahead in First Half
The first half was a battle all the way, with Kansas slipping out in front, 10 to 9, at the 8-minute mark. However, Ray Wehle, spendid ball handler and dribler hit two straight field goals in the first minute after intermission, and the Cyclones were off, never again relinquishing their lead.
George Dick started the game for Kansas and played a fighting game all the way before going out via the foul route. Lindquist, a perpetual fouler, followed suit. Scoring was well distributed among the Jayhawks with McSpadden counting 7; Turner, 6; Sherwood, 5; Barrington, 4; Moffett, 3; and Lindquist and Dick, 2. Corder and Palmer also saw action for the Kansans.
The Cyclone forwards, Roy and Ray Wehde, scored 12 points between them, each with 6. Guards Oulman and Sauer each counted a field goal and two free throws.
Jayhawks Get 11 Free Throws
The Jayhawks hit 11 for 18 free throws, and the Cyclones did as well in making good 12 of 19 chances.
The rebounding of the tall iowa State guards was a major factor in their win. Brookfield, who was hardly a Charley Black, was good on long shots, on fast breaks, and on breaking up passes, but was not the tower on defense he might have been.
Referees Were Unsatisfactory

From the Sidelines By Bob Rock Kansan Sports Editor
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Seven-foot Bob Kurtland of the Oklahoma Aggies hit the headlines last Friday by scoring 28 points to set an individual scoring record for the Stillwater school as he paced his mates to a 66 to 41 victory over the University of Arkansas. The almost unbelievable happened a night later, however, as the two teams—yes, the same two—played an entirely different type of ball with the Ibama again emerging victorious, this time, however, only 17 to 15 in a tight pitcher's duel.
Had The Wrong Slant
Recently Whitney Martin, A.P. sports writer, stirred up a lot of talk when he insisted that teams employing the zone defense should not even charge admission because of the lack of action which resulted when neither team would come out and make a fight of it, did not warrant the spectator's money. He cited a couple of games, one a Penn State encounter, in which both teams played the most cautious ball, neither taking any chances either on the defense or the offense. The zone defense in itself is not responsible for a low scoring game, for a team that knows how to use an offense against it can score as many points as against a man-to-man team. The low scoring games result when both teams refuse to break fast, to shoot long, to pass wildly, and to come out on defense.
The Oklahoma-Kansas game was of the low score variety and was hardly short of action and thrills. A 15 to 14 intramural game was the best of the season, yet was short on point-making (probably more from inaccuracy in shooting than anything else). The Oklahoma Aggies, long noted as being a strong defensive team, twice broke the ice this year, when they trounced Oklahoma recently, 59 to 40, and again hit the high-scoring brackets in their first game with Arkansas. When the Aggies and Sooners get together again, it is more apt to be a slow game from the scoring angle than it is to be a repetition of the first wild-
Knox and Fred Winter, although impartial, was far from satisfactory. Their interpretation of the rules on several occasions seemed vague and several decisions called against both teams seemed utterly nonsensical. They permitted the Iowa State coach to come out on the floor and talk to them during the game and were found in the Cyclone dressing room at the game's conclusion, which is contrary to conference regulations. The crowd angle was against the Jayhawks, as the Ames field house is so built that the spectators seem to be "right on top of the players," a distinct disadvantage to the visiting team. Just how much a disadvantage, however, will be proved when the two teams get together in Hoch auditorium in the season's finale, March 3.
scoring affair. It all depends on how the teams want to play; whether they forget the defense and try merely to outscore their opponents as the Rhode Island Staters are so famous for doing; or whether they choose to try to hold their rivals to the least points.
Both Types Interesting
The way we see it, both types of games are interesting, most games falling in between with the average amount of points scored by both teams. It's just the age-old question as to which one would rather watch, in baseball, a wild and woolly battle with plenty of homeruns, base hits, and errors, or a tight, "pitchers' duel" with few hits but plenty of good hurling and fielding. That is why sports is the great institution that it is, and attracts the interest that it does; it is because of the uncertainty of what will happen.

Thorpe Quits as Editor To Direct Oil Co.
When Merle Thorpe resigns editor of Nation's Business last week to become a member of the board of directors of Cities Service company, he had completed 28 years of editorship since he left his position as head of the department of journalism at the University.
He came to Kansas in 1911 from the staff of the department of journalism at the University of Washington. Under his direction, the department here was organized in the present Journalism Building; before then, journalism classes had been held in various buildings--most of them in Fraser. He accepted the Nation's Business editorship in 1916.
On the journalism staff during Mr. Thorpe's five years as head were Prof. L. N. Flint, who succeeded him as head; Joseph W. Murray, now managing editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, Saul Lewis, now publisher of the Tribune at Lynden, Wash.; H. F. Harrington, later dean of the School of Journalism at Northwestern; Harry Neal; William B. Brown; and J. Wainwright Evans.
