Supreme Court Gives Negroes Vote in Texas
Washington, (INS)—The Supreme court by an 8 to 1 decision today held unconstitutional the Texas Democratic "white primary" and warned that the constitution protects the rights of negroes to vote.
The case originated when Lonnie E. Smith, a negro, sought to vote in the Texas Democratic primary in 1940. He presented a poll tax receipt, but was denied right to vote because of his race. The state of Texas claimed that the Democratic primary is a "private affair."
The decision is expected to be a new mark in constitutional interpretation of laws alleged to discriminate among negroes, especially in the Solid South states where the Democratic primary nomination usually is equivalent to election.
Course to Be Given On Heart Disorders By Medical Groups
The first in the series of a course on cardiac disorders will be held April 15-16 at the University of Kansas hospital at Kansas City, under the sponsorship of the School of Medicine, the Kansas Medical Society, and the Kansas State Board of Health. Gerald L. Pearson of the extension division has announced.
Parsons is the second center in which the course will be held. on April 17-18. April 19-20 the meeting place will be in Salina and the following two days in Wichita. The final meeting will be April 22-23 in Topeka.
The speakers for each occasion will be Chauncey C. Maher, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Northwestern University Medical School; and George A. Walker, M.D., assistant professor of pathology at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Approximately fifty doctors will attend each session.
At 7:30 p.m. of the first day of each session, Dr. Maher will talk on "Thyrotoxicosis and Heart Disease," and Dr. Walker will speak on the "Anatomical Pathology of the Heart" with demonstrations of specimens. The following morning at 9 o'clock, Dr. Maher will lecture on the "Cardio-vascular Renal Diseases and Congestive Heart Failure," and Dr. Walker will talk on the "Pathologic Anatomy and Physiology of of Hypertension."
Former Grad Joins Staff Of Baton Rouge Paper
At 1:15 p.m. of the second day of each meeting Dr. Walker will speak on the "Electro-Cardiograph in Clinical Heart Disease" and "Heart Muscle Reserve," while Dr. Maher will lecture on "Heart Disease in the Surgical Patient."
Miss Phyllis Jones of Sedan, a 1943 graduate in journalism, is on the news staff of the State-Times, Baton Rouge, La. She formerly worked on the Hutchinson Herald. The Baton Rouge morning paper has 10 women on its staff, Miss Jones writes; even the night editor is a woman. Miss Jones was news editor of the Daily Kansas.
Number of Coed s Remains the Same
Of the 1715 civilian students now studying at the University of Kansas, 1321 are women, which is exactly the same number enrolled two years ago at this time; and, according to statistics, the enrollment of women in March has remained practically constant for the past several years.
Red Cross Given $4566.11 to Date
With the contribution of $11 from Delta Upsilon, the Red Cross drive total has been raised to $4566.11 for the entire campus including civilians, faculty, employees, and servicemen. The total for the civilian drive is now $1012.65.
"I feel that the students have responded well to the call for financial aid for the American Red Cross work, and I certainly think the credit for the success of the civilian student drive goes to the CVC, which made the individual solicitations," announced Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser.
If anyone would still like to turn in money for the drive even though it is officially closed, the money would still be greatly appreciated, Miss Miller said.
US Apologizes Over Bombing of Swiss
(International News Service)
Washington, (INS)—Secretary of State Cordell Hull today formally expressed the 'deep regret" of the American people over the accidental bombing of the Swiss border city of Schasshausen and pledged that the United States government would make "appropriate reparations" for the damage incurred. Hull announced he conveyed the regrets to the Swiss minister in Washington and had likewise instructed the American minister in Bern, Switzerland, to make proper representations to the Swiss governmen.
Missouri Debaters Will Return Visit
The no decision debate between the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri took place at Columbia, Mo., Saturday morning. The subject of the debate was "Resolved: That the state of Missouri should have a one-house legislature."

Newton Best in One-Act Plays
The cafeteria dinner Friday night in the University Club room of the Union building was attended by 90 persons representing 13 high schools, according to Gerald Pearson of the extension division. Allen Crafton, professor of speech, was the master of ceremonies, and Robert Stewart, V-12 from Wamego, acted as toast-master. Begonias, ageratums, and smilax decorated two tables at the dinner.
The Newton representatives won first place in the one-act play entries for the Class A schools, and Valley Falls took top honors for the Class C schools. The winners in the humorous readings were the Lawrence Memorial high school for Class A entries, Bonner Springs for Class B, and Seneca Catholic for Class C.
Wyandotte placed first in the dramatic readings for the Class A group, Bonner Springs in Class B, and Tonganoxie in Class C. In the standard orations, Shawnee-Mission took first place for the Class A schools and Valley Falls for the Class C schools. There were no Class B entries.

First semester seniors who will be graduated from the University following the 16 weeks semester this summer are included in the group who are to be photographed for senior pictures for the spring Jayhawker, Virginia Schaefer, business manager, has announced. These seniors should call Miss Schaefer or Pat Williams at 415 immediately to make appointments.
Miss Schaefer urged all seniors to make their appointments right away,
Pictures will be taken again tomorrow evening in the Jayhawker office in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building. Miss Schaeffer said. Appointments may be made between 7:30 and 10.
K U Gardens Split Among 30 Teachers
The first ground in the faculty gardens for this year was broken Saturday afternoon, according to Guy Smith, mathematics professor and chairman of the faculty garden- ing committee.
Plots were assigned Saturday morning to the 30 faculty members who are taking part in the project he said, and the teacher-gardeners lost no time in setting in their early crops.
A tract of land below the power plant, adjoining the intramural field and ground in West Hills are being used again this year for the project. This year is the third that gardens have been put in near the intramural field, and the second that the tract of land in West Hills has been a part of the project.
Members of the committee who staked out the garden plots Saturday morning and assigned them to faculty members according to the requests of prospective gardeners are Guy Smith, chairman, Raymond Nichols and C. G. Bayles. According to Mr. Nichols a full plot is approximately 2500 square feet. Many faculty gardeners have taken only one-half or one-third of a plot.
RAF Bombs Nazi Ship Tirpitz
British naval aircraft attacked a German battleship Tirpitz, out of action for months in a Norwegian fjord, and scored several hits upon the vessel.
Foreign commissar, V. M. Molotov of Russia announced the drive into Rumania, insisting it was dictated solely by military necessity and declaring that Russia has no desire of acquiring Rumanian territory or altering the existing social structure of the country. Soviet troops were reported within 21 miles of the Black seaport of Odessa, and one prediction was made that the Russians would be at its gates in 24 hours.
Few material changes were reported on the Italian front, but Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson said 2,000 aerial sorties made yesterday from the Mediterranean theater were outstanding successes. One of the targets was an enemy ball bearing plant at Steyr, Austria.
Jackson Becomes Member Of
Chonate Tribune Staff
Kenneth Jackson of Arma, who was recently honorably discharged from the army because of an underweight condition, has joined the news staff of the Chanute Tribune. He was a senior in journalism when he entered the service in 1942 and had been secretary of the department of journalism for four years.
"Aye, Aye, Sir" literally means "Your order is understood and will be carried out!"
He held the rank of master sergeant in service. His wife and son Eric, have been living in Arma but are now with Mr. Jackson in Chamute.
In 1942, he was editor of the Daily Kansan and president of the Kansan Board.
Reserve Fund For Returning 'Summerfields'
Setting aside a reserve fund, the Endowment Association is already making postwar plans for those Summerfield scholars who were not able to finish their education at the University because of induction into the services. Under this plan, the association sets aside the amount of money that would have been used by the scholarship student so that, it will be available when he returns.
Saturday, April 1, 163 students of nine Kansas towns took the preliminary examination to compete for the scholarships. Of these boys, who were nominated and recommended by their high school principals, 36 will be chosen to take the final examination at Lawrence. May 8 and 9. From 10 to 15 of these boys may be given the scholarship.
This scholarship fund for Kansas boys was founded in 1929 by Solon Summerfield, who was graduated from the University in 1899 and from the Law School in 1901, he is now a hosiery manufacturer in New York. Each spring $20,000 is donated for the fund, with $565 as the maximum yearly sum that a boy may receive. This amount, however, is scaled down in accordance to the parents' ability to finance the student's education. The scholarship, which is said to be the largest continuous single scholarship in the Missouri Valley region, assures the winner of an 8-semester college education.
KU Offers Aliens Citizenship by Mail
The University is cooperating with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service in offering a correspondence study course in Naturalization and Citizenship, according to Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division. The course is especially planned for allens who wish to prepare for citizenship examinations.
Of the 16 thousand aliens residing in Kansas, more than one hundred applications for citizenship are pending at all times, according to recent information from the district office of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service at Kansas City.
The lesson outlines and textbooks are prepared by the Service and present information that the candidate is expected to know before final citizenship is granted. The text material is written in simple English and is intended for persons of fair educational background. Study materials include a special set of instructions for a helper or an interpreter, in case the person enrolling for the study needs outside assistance.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Foreign Scholars Look to America For Post-War Study
The universities and colleges of the United States, with their army and navy training programs, are surviving this war in better condition than any other seats of higher learning in the world.
Ravages of war have caused higher education to be virtually abandoned in Europe. Early in the war, both China and Russia moved their schools to the comparative safety of their hinterlands. The story of the trek of Chinese students, carrying their universities with them as they retreated into western China has become well known to students everywhere.
Education Still Accessible Here
Education Self Accessible Here
Through the World Student Service Fund, students of all nationalities and even refugees and prisoners in camps have been able to continue their quest for knowledge in spite of the war.
As usual, Americans are the lucky ones in comparison with others in the world. Only a few of our colleges have been forced to close. It is still possible for civilians to get as much education as they wish, and the navy gives its future officers a college education through the V-12 program. There have been changes in colleges, all right, but they have been comparatively slight. Competition Should be Strong
Competition Should be Strong
Because the scholastic halls of this country are standing up so well under the war, prominent educators are predicting that there will be a run on United States colleges by foreign students after the war. It is not at all unlikely that governments of foreign countries will send their most intelligent young people to America to become educated in order that they may return to their native lands to rebuild their own colleges.
The foreign students who will come to America to be educated will be scholars, and competition in the postwar college should be strong enough to satisfy the most exacting professor.
Anne Krehbiel to Give Piano Recital at 8 p.m.
Anne Krebhiel, senior in the School of Fine Arts, will present her senior recital of six piano numbers at 8 o'clock tonight in Fraser theater. Miss Krebhiel is a student of C. A. Prever, professor of piano.
The program will begin with "Waldstein Sonata, Op. 53" (Beethoven), and will be followed by "Theme with Variations and Fugue" (Preyer). Three numbers will make up the third part of the program: "The Three Maries" (Villa Lobos), "Sorrowful Birds" from "Miroirs" by Ravel, and "Allegro Appassionata" (Saint-Saens).
The "Concerto in A Minor" (Grieg) will be the final number on the program. Allen Rogers, freshman in Fine Arts, will play the orchestral parts on a second piano, as accompaniment for Miss Krehbiel.
Noble Cain, Chicago Will Visit Campus
Noble Cain, composer, arranger of vocal numbers, and director of the Chicago A Cappella choir, will be here Thursday, May 11, D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, has announced.
Mr. Cain has offered himself at the disposal of Dean Swarthout in any kind of a group-singing or choral lecture program
Rock Chalk Talk

MORRILL
Embarrassing Moments Department: Don Diehl, Beta V-12, leaving a sorority house at closing hours, went out to the back driveway and climbed into a parked car which he thought he recognized as Purple Passion, pride of Brother Tuck Sifers. (Tuck was still saying goodbye). Once in, Don had a feeling that he was not alone—in fact that he was sitting on someone's lap.
After some confusion, the three (a soldier, Don, and the soldier's date on whom he was sitting) got disengaged in time for the latter to make closing hours. All this time, the Purple Passion was two cars down.

Court Decides Schaefer Case
John Scurlock, justice of the Student Court Advisory Board, recently handed down the following decision on the appeal by Virginia Schaefer, College senior, who was declared ineligible to sit on the All-Student Council by the Student Court.
Naming cadavers has always been a popular practice among medical students, but no name has ever before provided the inspiration that Bill Mowery, Dick Dreher, and others seem to get from calling their blonde female specimen "Joyce" after a comely Theta.
The Combined Court, consisting of the Student Court and the Faculty Advisory Committee, has heard the petition of appeal from Peterson v. Schaefer and unanimously affirms the decision of that case. It is felt necessary, however, that we here consider one of the several arguments which were presented because of the particular relevancy of that argument to the power of the Court.
Any intelligent student upon carefully reading this constitution could rightfully conclude that the American principles of judicial review had been embodied. These principles are so fundamentally amalgamated into American thinking that, unless the contrary clearly appeared, the students who voted to accept it must
It was contended that the intent of the framers of the Constitution, the Men's Student Council, and the Women's Self-Governing Association, to deprive the Student Court of the power to declare Council legislation unconstitutional must be binding upon the Court because those bodies were sovereign in their own right. That they were duly elected and within their proper scope of authority in proposing a new constitution we do not presently deny, but the student governing bodies of the University of Kansas are not and have never been sovereign. They are elected by and subject to the will of the Student Body. When revising Student Constitutions, they do not acquire higher or greater powers; for this purpose they occupy the status of constitutional conventions, and their proposed constitutions must be submitted to and be accepted by the Student Body. The intent of the Men's Student Council and of the Women's Self-Governing Association is interesting to the Combined Court but not conclusive. That intent was never communicated to the Student body.
Hilton Makes Plea For Racial Tolerance In Safeve Club Speech
In the human relation problem of whether or not we can live together as human beings, Anti- Semitism has become a weapon chosen by Fascist groups as well as foreign groups to drive a wedge to divide Americans, the Rev. Randall S. Hilton of Chicago told members and guests of the Sateve Club Saturday night.
One of the hypocrisies of American Christian democracy is that we ask people to lay down their lives for us that we might persecute them Rev. Hilton stated. There are many Jews serving in our armed forces, and yet we continue to persecute them in various ways. We have no right to utilize our freedom to persecute them or deny them equal opportunities.
The answer to the problem, Reverend Hilton believes, lies in individual counter-attacks against race hatred. We do not think intelligently when prejudices are involved. People find what they are looking for in others, good or bad and the question is what they are looking for and its relationships to themselves.
"In America every man has the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Jews are entitled to be respected and judged for themselves as individuals. Don't condemn the whole race for one man."
Reverend Hilton called for counteraction against race hatred by all people.
have assumed this Constitution was modeled upon American constitutional principles. The formal amending procedure dispels any logical conception that the student government was to be patterned upon the parliamentary government of England and France. To discount the intent or the understanding of the Student Body would be to abrogate the Student Body's constituent powers and to declare that it interpreted the provisions of the Constitution contrary to the only philosophy of government with which it was thoroughly familiar. We are not prepared to do this.—Adv.
K.W. Davidson Takes New Position Today
No crepe was hung, but in the eyes of University faculty members and students, particularly those associated with the department of journalism, when K. W. Davidson, retiring director of information, closed the door of his office Friday the occasion was almost that solemn.
After four years of jovial service to the school, Mr. Davidson put in his last day Friday. Today he will assume his responsibilities as manager of the Arllee Advertising Agency in Kansas City, Mo.
The former director of information will be in charge of advertising and promotion for the United Farm Agency, farm sales brokers, in his new position. His office is in the Business Men's Insurance Building, the Plaza, Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. Davidson investigated the possibility of buying a home in Kansas City Friday. He couldn't find a residence, so the Davidson family will remain at their present home at 2244 New Hampshire and Mr. Davidson will commute daily between Lawrence and his new office.
Mr. Davidson came to the University from Emporia where he was business manager of William Allen White's Emporia Gazette for eight

No Five-Foul Rule For Women's AAU
Coaches and officials attending the Women's National AAU tournament decided yesterday that women's basketball is rough enough as it is and permitting players a fifth foul before they are sent from the game would be too much.
Four proposed changes were submitted to the rules committee for consideration. They are:
(1) Permitting waiver of a free throw to keep possession of the ball.
(2) Making the distance between the basket and the end line the same as under men's rules so that courts need not be tailored for women's games.
(3) Unlimited substitution.
(4) Liberalization of the pass out rule following baskets.

Dual Track Meet Scheduled With OU
Track team members have been working under the stadium the last few days during the bad weather and are hoping for a chance to get out on the track again. Coach Ray Kanehl announced lest week that a dual meet with Oklahoma University has been scheduled for April 15 to be held at Norman.
Navy Supply Service Excellent Says Porter
Several new men have reported to Coach Kanehl and prospects for a good track team are looking better. The majority of the candidates are inexperienced but are improving comparably. The outcome of the meet with Oklahoma will furnish some idea of the Jayhawker's possibilities in the outdoor Big Six meet.
Supply service to remote navy hospitals is excellent according to Condr. J. M. Porter, Kansas physician and University graduate who addressed an audience in Fraser hall Thursday afternoon.
Gustafson
Nearly 150 persons heard Commander Porter tell of his experiences with the Navy in the Pacific, where he has been stationed for two years.
years.
Stating that he would "rather be known as a doctor than as an officer." Porter told in a general way about his work as a Navy doctor. He was not allowed to tell where he had been stationed.
Commander Porter explained a little about military courtesy, which he believes is not over-emphasised. "It is no more than the common courtesy you would show any way," the Commander said, "and the people you find in the service measure up to the exceptionally fine standard found in the medical profession in civilian life."
the "COLLEGE JEWELER"
The amount of military red tape is no more than one would expect to find in such a large organization, he believes. While not particularly interesting such statistical work must be done.
In answer to questions after his talk, Porter said that, although he had not been allowed to specialize in the work he has been doing, he believed that the Navy would make possible such specialization in its post war planning.
Commander Porter was graduated from the University in 1921, and received his degree in medicine from Harvard university a few years later. He had been practicing in Concordia for 15 years before he was called to the Navy.

U. S. Bombs His Home
The account of the mistaker, bombing of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, by American bombers was not just another war story to Robert Guntert, technician in the department of entomology. It was the story of the destruction of his home town.
Mr. Guntert was born and reared on a farm only two miles from the town of Schafhausen. He lived near the now damaged community until he was 20 years old. Then he came to America,
The entomology technician has several cousins who were living in Schaffhausen at the time of the bombing he believes. He has not heard from them since the outbreak of the war.

Nazis Trapped In Carpathians By Soviet Troops
(International News Service)
Aided by a heavy new American air attack on the Hungarian capital of Budapest, Russian troops plunged deep into central Europe and the Balkans today threatened annihilation in the footfalls of the Carpathian mountains. The assault upon Budapest by heavy bombers based in the Mediterranean theater was the second within 24 hours and was designed like the previous to ruin or damage war production in the ancient city and cripple the communication and supply line which radiates from it throughout the Balkans.
For the first time since the war began Bucharest, capital of Rumania, was subjected to heavy air assaults today, by fortresses and liberators based in the Mediterranean area. The assaults meant that all three Balkan capitals—Bucharest, Sofia, and Budapest now have felt the weight of Allied air assaults. Wilson Reports Few Changes
Sir Henry Maitland Wilson had few changes to report on the Italian land front where Allied artillery blazed away at enemy troops concentrations, supply dumps and communication lines. Puppet Italian Fascist troops were reported in action against the Allies at the Anzio beachhead for the first time.
First reports on the assault against the Palau islands less than 500 miles from the Philippines, were made public by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox today. Emphasizing the reports are incomplete he said our air losses were 8 fighters, 11 bombers, and 8 torpedo bombers. All enemy ships present at anchor in the Palau area were sunk or damaged. Knox also volunteered the information that since the Pacific war broke out, United States navy and marine fliers have destroyed a total of 4,316 Japanese planes.
Other activity in the Pacific included extension of American control over additional islands in both the Marshall and Admiralty group while the Manila radio broadcast a mysterious "all clear" signal with no previous indication the Philippine capital had been alerted against real or possible attack.
Mahieu to Address French Club Thursday

This is his first appearance before the French club since his return to the campus in February.
Transcripts of student records issued by Cornell in the 1942-43 fiscal year nearly doubled the previous year's number with its record of 15,464.
Short talks about Easter customs in France will be given by various members of the club.
YWCA Easter Service Today Will Be at 4:30, Meyers Hall
Featuring the reading of the "Pontius Pilate" by Mrs. Thomas Pearson, 1336 Massachusetts street, the YWCA Easter service for all University students will begin at 4:30 this afternoon in the chapel of Myer's hall.

According to present plans, the tea will be held during the week following Easter.
No specifications have been made regarding the size of pictures which may be entered. Small photographs are being given as much consideration as large portrait pictures.
KU Alumni Meet In London This May For Reunion Dinner
London, through the ages, has seen many strange events, but probably for the first time this May, it will watch over a meeting of KU alumni who are serving in that particular European theater of operations.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, has received a request from Capt. Harrison D. Kohl under the auspices of the Stars and Stripes, American daily newspaper for the U.S. armed forces, to send campus pictures, newspapers and other publications, pennants, and music sheets, and other University material for the reunion dinner.
Lt. Robert C. Polson, who was graduated from the University in 1938 and from the School of Medicine in '42, has already written to his mother of the coming event, Mr. Ellsworth said.
Pre-Medic Exams To Be Given April 28
Aptitude examinations for premedic students will be given April 28, Dr. Parke Woodard of the school of medicine has announced. Purpose of the tests is to determine something of the student's ability to interpret medical subject matter.

Interested students are asked to register as soon as possible at the office of the School of Medicine. Exact time and place of the exam will be announced later.
A special retreat formation will be held by members of the University ASTP unit Thursday evening in observance of Army Day Lt. Col Watson L. McMorris, commandant of the unit, announced today. The entire unit, including those of the medical corps, will participate in the ceremony.

"It will be impossible to hold a military review because of the small number of trainees remaining since the departure of basic engineers, terms two and three. Attendance of all study hall periods Thursday night will be optional with the trainees."
Army Day went unobserved last year both by the civilian and military groups, the latter devoting its time to a concentration on training for war. The display of flags, however, gave recognition to the day.

Audience Pleased With Piano Recital
Wearing a white orchid corsage, Anne Krehbiel, Fine Arts senior, last night presented her senior recital in piano in Fraser theater. Five curtain calls at the close of the program, with numerous ones at the end of each number, demonstrated the enjoyment and appreciation of the audience.
With her clear and realistic interpretations, Miss Krehbiel held her audience throughout the entire evening. She successfully captured the feeling of the third part of the program, catching the playful mood of "The Three Maries" (Villa Lobos), the melancholy atmosphere of the "Sorrowful Birds" (Ravel) and the smoothness and clarity of "Allegro Appassionata" (Saint-Saens).
The climax of the well-balanced program was the "Concerto in A Minor" (Grieg) which Miss Krehbiel played with spirit and abandon. Allen Rogers, Fine Arts freshman, played the orchestral parts on a second piano. In "Theme with Variations and Fugue" she demonstrated her power, assuredness, and forcefulness. This number was arranged by C. A. Preyer, professor of piano and teacher of Miss Krehbiel.
The program began with the classic "Waldstein Sonata, Op. 53" (Beethoven), which Miss Krehbiel played clearly, every note ringing full and true. The calm silence of the audience displayed its complete and full enjoyment of the number.
Two large bouquets, one of white stocks and red carnations and the other of white stocks and pink snap-dragons, decorated the stage. During and after her performance, Miss Krehbiel was presented eight additional bouquets.
Following the program, a reception was held at Corbin hall which approximately a hundred people attended. Out-of-town guests included Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Krehbiel of Moundridge, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Graber and daughter, Peggy, of Hutchinson, and Miss Margaret Krehbiel of Kansas City.

Rock Chalk Talk
"Ho Who Laughs Last—" In our opinion, April 1 was just a good excuse. It all started when Anne Young, Chi Omega, called Jack Giesch, Phi Bete, to commemorate the Great Day, and told him that Jeanne Atkinson had fallen down the basement stairs and broken her ankle. Anne "believed 'At' would be unable to keep their date Saturday night." And Giesch swallowed it, hook, line and sinker—at first, that is.

As the truth slowly began to dawn on the wisened medic, the story began to develop, also in the form of a series of phone calls, courtesy of the versatile Phi Betes. Completely at ease, the girls calmly told a "hospital attendant" who, perturbed at being unable to find records of Miss Atkinson's admittance to any of the Lawrence hospitals offered to send an ambulance for her, that they would have the patient ready when he got there.

The investigation, made in connection with a general survey of the quantity and quality of ground water in this vicinity, was made by Mr. Williams and assistants during the construction period of the Kansas Ordnance Works and was carried on in an attempt to find a suitable shallow water well supply.
The research, made in cooperation with the ground water program of

Zilch Keeps Up Tradition By Proxy
Pup tent in one hand, six shooter in the other, Elmer A. Zillch, grand old man of journalism arrived in Lawrence on Feb. 26, 1942. It was his first visit to the Middle West.
His coming, impeded by vast street demonstrations in New York, Chicago, and Eudora, was hailed as the greatest event in Lawrence history since Quantrill's raid. The far-famed journalist, discoverer of type lice and inventor of the Zilch Zippy Linotype, had been in hiding in the mountains of Tibet since the repeal of the 18th amendment as a gesture of protest.
At a dinner given March 1, 1942, Mr. Zilch was the guest of honor. Speaking to journalism students and professors, the former editor of the New York Daily Peet and Bleat said "Journalism is journalism nad facts are facts and never the twain shall meet."
On April 9, 1942, word again came that Zilch was leaving Tibet and his own private still to be a guest at the journalism department's annual dinner.
After getting lost in the jungles of Borneo, Mr. Zilch finally made it for the 1942 dinner and spoke with his customary sagacity on the evils of the 18th amendment and the necessity for imagination in effective news writing.
Last year Mr. Zilch left the fox- (continued to page four)

Young in Spirit Is Hannah Oliver Oldest Living University Alumna
Spring is a fountain of youth for all of us, but it flows most freely for a wry little woman who greeted her 92nd year with a happy smile recently. That woman is none other than the University's oldest alumna, Miss Hannah Oliver, who lives alone in a house filled with antiques and memories at 802 Tennessee. She was brushing up those antiques busily at the time; somehw to her it didn't seem quite like a "birthday house." And when one has experienced 92 birthdays, one should know.
But her memories need no such brushing up. They are tabulated in Hannah Oliver's mind as accurately as if an automatic adding machine had been working both on time and overtime to be sure that nothing would be omitted—a machine which surely by now would be receiving benefits from the Townsend plan were it still not adding up larger and larger sum totals.
Remembers Her Childhood Days
Do you remember the years you spent before the time you held up a quintuplet of fingers and proudly said "I am five years old"? You probably do not, and yet to Miss Oliver those years are still as vivid as yesterday. For those were the days she was a little girl in England, and "England is a never-to-be-forgetten country."
That was all before the year 1857. Came the move to Illinois and then, in 1860, on out to Lawrence. Barely out of the diaper stage, the town was verging on its sixth year. The Civil War came; Quantrill's raid blanched the populace with horror.
And then on September 12 of '66, the University of Kansas, having offset all its labor pains, officially was born.
University Was in Infancy
The University at that time had a seven year curriculum with the first three years comparable to our high school course. When Miss Oliver enrolled a year later there were 65 students and all were preps or studying the pre-college courses. General Fraser was chancellor, Scottish but without a brogue, small but distinguished. A young neighbor boy knew him only as the "little man with the boots."
There may have been days when he did not come to class complete with boots, but he was never without a generous supply of wit. Ida Blood, fellow graduate of Miss Oliver's, was asked a question one day by General Fraser who remarked with certainty that "Blood will tell!"
Classes began promptly at 8:00 in old North College, a three-story gray square building divided into different departments. The girls sat well starched in the classrooms prim and pretty in the newest heavy cotton. And, oh yes, even in those days the frantic last editch efforts to memorize the course the night before the final examination proved that there was no hope anyhow! Entertainment Different Then
"Oklahoma" was not yet getting rave notices principally because there was no such sort of entertainment. But there were picnics and

Lane Retires as Department Head After 45 Years of Teaching
Dr. Henry Higgins Lane, retiring head of the department of zoology and director of Dyche Museum, has been lecturing to students for the past 45 years. He began teaching after his graduation from DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind., at the age of 21 at Lebanon high school in Indiana where he was instructor in Latin and German.
He received his master's degree in zoology from the University of Indiana in 1903 and his doctor of Philosophy degree from Princeton in 1915. In the fall of 1903 he went to Cornell University on a fellowship in zoology.
Dr. Lane was head of the department of biology at Hiram College in 1905, head of the department of zoology and embryology at the University of Oklahoma from 1905 to 1920, head of the department of biology at Phillips University, Enid, Okla, from 1920 to 1922, and has been head of the department of zoology at the University since 1922. Has Done Much Research
Mammalogy, both recent and fossil, and vertebrate paleontology have been his chief interests in research. Dr. Lane has also done considerable research on fish and reptiles. Nationally known for his contributions to the scientific world, he has

been in "Who's Who in America" since 1916. Many of his summers have been spent hunting fossils with museum parties in Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Kansas.
Dr. Lane has written many articles for scientific journals and publications of the Carnegie Institute and has written three books in the fields of biology and zoology.
Has Large Stamp Collection
When he was a child of ten, Dr. Lane started a stamp collection which has grown through the years to include 20,000 stamps. United and foreign, bound in 16 volumes. He takes great interest in his hobby and has arranged his stamps in historical order with information concerning their patents, manufacturing process, and history.
He was recently made an honorary gold-star life commander of the Pioneer Philatelic Phalanx, national stamp collectors society.
As director of Dyche Museum since 1931, he has planned the restoration of the building and its exhibits as they now exist. In 1928, he drew up the basic plans for Snow hall and supervised the construction of the building.
Dr. Lane plans to continue as professor of zoology at the university.
Glenn St. Aubyn at Roswell After Receiving Wings

Almost every year the national invitational tournament signs up several of the highest rated teams in the nation to come to Madison Square Garden. At the time it seems like they really get the "cream of the crop," and the NCAA gets what is left for their division play-offs. Just before the NCAA gets under way fans the country over are remarking that the NCAA teams are the weakest in years and that all the good quintets have gone to New York City.
Nevertheless, when the national winner of the NCAA meets the national invitational champion, the former has a habit of emerging victorious. Last year it was Wyoming who beat St. John's for the mythical championship. This year it was the "Cinderella boys" from Utah who beat the St. John's team, repeaters in the invitational tourney. And it will be noticed that both Wyoming and Utah were winners of the western division play-off, which speaks well for the strength of the teams who earn the right to go to Kansas City for the play-offs.
Maybe the best teams go to the invitational, but the NCAA representatives seem to have the habit of winning the unofficial national title.

Recently the arguing boys of the University of Oklahoma debate team won a Missouri Valley contest at the university of Kansas. The Big Six conference football writers who persisted in taking more or less sly verbal punches at the Sooner footballsters last fall no doubt will be happy to know there is no Bob Brumley on the Oklahoma debate team—C. E. McBride, Kansas City Star.
Or any Buil Reece at Missouri? ? ?

A great many people have the idea that the football stadium is not paying for itself but is only a "white elephant". This really is not true. The Athletic Board started the academic year last fall with approximately $8,5000, and after payment of all expenses will begin the 1944 fall season with about the same amount of capital. But included in the expenses was $5,000 bond retirement and $4,908.75 interest payment on the stadium debt. So the stadium is really paying for itself and more too.
Table Tennis Teams Play Today
Four table tennis teams are scheduled to play this afternoon. Watkins hall will play Alpha Chi Omega while alpha Delta Pi vs. Miller hall.
Intramural Games Pass Second Round; Five Games Last Night
The second round of the intramural volleyball schedule was played last night, with three games being played in each division.
In the A division, Sigma Chi evened its record at one and one by defeating Sigma Alpha Epsilon 15-6, 9-15, 15-12. The Blanks kept their record clean, winning over the Phi Gam team 12-15, 15-6, 15-10; and the V-12's substituting for Theta Tau, defeated the Betas 15-6, 15-14. Kappa Alpha Psi forfeited its game to the Faculty Engineers.
The Phi Psil's and Physical Education faculty continued their winning streaks in the B league. The faculty won over Tau Kappa Epsilon 15-3, 15-12, and the Phi Psis trimmed Delta Tau Delta 15-2, 15-13. In the other game Ship's Company walloped Triangle 15-6, 15-3. The Phi Deltas won by forfeit over Delta Upson.

Rhoades Studio Will Provide 'Happy Hour'
The George Rhodes Studios of Kansas City, Kan., will present a program of dancing, music, singing, and short skits for the Navy Happy Hour at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening, April 11, according to Chief Petty Officer George O. Starkey, director of the shows.
This program will be the first Happy Hour since the one presented early in February by trainees of the machinist's mates program and University students.
"The Rhoades Studios presented a program last fall which the men enjoyed very much," said Chief Starkey. "It is hoped that George will be able to present a baton twirling number. He was sworn into the navy on March 25, but has not reported for active duty as yet."
Rhoades has been a student at the University for the past three years. He was in charge of instructing the baton twirlers during his freshman year and was drum major for the University Band last year and during the fall semester of 1943. He was enrolled in the School of Pharmacy.
"The public has been invited to attend the Happy Hour," said Chief Starkey.

Canteen in Lindley Reopened by Zipple
The ASTP canteen in Lindley hal has been placed under the direction of Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the University food service. Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorris, commandant of the University AST units, announced today. Miss Zipple will operate a refreshment counter in Lindley hall as a branch of the Memorial Union fountain.
"Due to the material decrease in the ASTP personnel, the Army dis-continued the canteen on March 31," said Lt. Col. McMorris. "It was impossible to operate the canteen on a self-sufficient basis with a smaller number of trainees."
ASTP Notified Of Excellence
The inspection was made by Col. C. H. Reimerth of the inspector general's department of the seventh Service Command in Omaha.
The University AST units have been notified by the commanding general, Seventh Service Command, ASF, Omaha, Neb., that they were given a rating of excellent in military training, discipline, and administration as a result of the inspection made in February, 1944, Lt. Col W. L. McMorris, commandant, announced today.
"At the time of the inspection, the University AST units had approximately 650 enrolled in the program," said Colonel McMorris. "The inspection was made of the military activities only and did not include the academic curriculum."
Army Psychiatrist to Speak Before Psychology Club
Capt. Nathan Blackman, psychiatrist from the staff of the disciplinary barracks at Ft. Leavenworth, will speak at a Psychology club meeting at 4:30 Monday in room 21 in the basement of Frank Strong hall.

Harley R. Hallam, Route 1, Galena; 2nd Lt. George A. Milburn, 531 South 9th, Salina; Sgt. Raymond J. Wilcox, 1404 Dearc, Concordia.
Following are the opinions of several students on this matter:
This plan, which was instituted in the University of North Carolina in 1935, stipulates that all University freshmen take a prescribed course of study worked out for them by a special staff of faculty advisers. All elective subjects will thus be relegated to the student's latter years in college, while the first year will be devoted to providing a broader education for the student.

Student attitudes toward the new "general college" plan, outlined by Dean Paul B. Lawson in a faculty meeting last week, show a variety of opinion.
Student Opinions Differ on Value Of New General College Plan
Donna Wingerson, College junior, answers, "I think that it would be a good thing to give students a variety of subjects to help them in choosing their vocation. It would do away with much of the confusion freshmen always feel."
Glennie Waters, College senior, says, "I think it is a good idea because I think that freshmen should have knowledge in all fields, and a basis in a field helps them to decide just in what particular field they are most interested."

Nazis Encircled At Tarnopol
(International News Service)
The day's chief land front news came from Moscow, which announced that Nazi troops encircated at both Tarnopol, key communication center of old Poland, and Skala were in a condition which could only be described as "desperate." Most of Tarnopol already is in Russian hands and powerful Soviet forces pushed through the town in savage hand-to-hand street fighting. Remnants of 15 Nazi divisions encircled near Skala failed in a series of frantic efforts to break out of the Russian ring of entrapment.
In Italy land attacks against new Allied positions at Montemorone, north of Cassino were beaten off and once again American and British artillery raked the German line in that ruined-town and at the Anzio beachhead.
Gen, Douglas McArthur's report on the Pacific told of a terrific new assault on the Japanese Hollandia base in New Guinea in which more than 300 bombers dropped more than 400 tons of high explosives and fragmentation shells upon enemy installations.
Gallery Exhibits K.U. Paintings
Now being exhibited at the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City are the paintings of Karl Mattern, professor of drawing and painting, and some oil paintings of Raymond J. Eastwood, former professor in the drawing and painting department who is now on leave from the army air corps.
For a number of years, the month of April at the Gallery was devoted to a series of one-man shows by contemporary American artists. The custom is being revived this year with a showing of oils, water-colors, and sculptures by six Kansas City artists and the two University instructors.
Prof. Mattern has taken first awards in several Kansas City exhibitions for both oil and watercolors. His watercolors have been exhibited in major exhibitions throughout the country and are owned by museums, and numerous private collections. Fifteen of Mr. Mattern's recent oil and watercolor paintings are also now on exhibit on the second floor of Spooner-Thayer museum.
Mr. Eastwood is represented in the exhibit by twelve oils of the coast of his native New England. In his "Portrait of Jenny", Robert Nathan advises a young painter to "leave the dunes to Eastwood." Examples of these pictures of the shifting sands may be seen in various offices on the campus.

Willkie Loses In Wisconsin GOP Primary
The 1940 Republican presidential candidate chose Wisconsin to test his chances for renomination. With more than half of the states 3,076 precincts accounted for, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, who has insisted he is not a presidential candidate appeared to have captured 17 of the state's 24 delegates to the national GOP convention.
Milwaukee, (INS) - The political challenge laid down in Wisconsin by Wendell Willkie boomeranged against him today.
Lt. Comdr. Harold E. Stassen, who has made no campaign but said he would accept the nomination if forthcoming, won four delegates, and Gen. Douglas McArthur, who has not announced himself a candidate for any office won three delegates. Willkie, however, carried his fight for Nebraska preferential votes to Fremont today. He declined to comment on the Wisconsin primary. Nebraska's Republican voters will choose on April 11 between Willkie and Stassen.
Willkie retained his strength in Oregon, but there was no opposition to test his popularity there. He was assured the states 15 votes in the national Republican convention after the deadline for candidates filing passed with no other presidential aspirants entered on the ballot.
Resolutions Adopted Directed to Members Of Forensic League
The values of speech training were drawn up in resolution by the directors of the Missouri Valley Forensic League during the tournament which took place here at the University, March 25. This resolution was directed to all the member schools of the league.
The work of the Forensic League has continued during these trouble, some times, and the present participation has emphasized the value of speech activity. The armed forces have recognized the usefulness of speech training and have required speech courses in the curriculum of the trainees.
The Missouri Valley Forensic League extends appreciation for the financial support of the member leagues and for their general enthusiasm, and commends thorough reappraisal of the aims and values of speech training in both war and peace-time. The resolution also urges an increased recognition and support by administrative and policy forming bodies of our colleges and universities.

Lindsborg Community Sings the 'Messiah'
Handel's "Messiah" chorus has become synonymous with Easter in the minds of the Swedish settlers of Lindsborg, Kan., for, since 1881, the people of the community have sung it at this season. They sing it for their own enjoyment and for the pleasure it gives to the music lovers who make a special trip to Lindsborg each Easter season to hear it.
But one needn't be a music lover to enjoy the "Messiah" chorus, for the magnificent volume and richness of 500 well-trained voices singing together in the familiar oratorio gives pleasure to even the most unmusical ear.
First Chorus Had 50 Singers
Just as it has never lacked a receptive audience, the oratorio has never lacked an enthusiastic chorus. The original singers are no longer in the chorus, but their sons and daughters are carrying on for them in the traditional style.
Dr. and Mrs. Carl Swenson organized the chorus at the suggestion of a friend of theirs, Dr. Olof Olsson, who had heard a rendition of the "Messiah" in London. The first chorus numbered 50 singers, and during the first year they sang in neighboring communities.
Written in Thorne Posts
Written in Three Parts
Handel wrote his "Messiah" in three parts. The first tells of the Savior's coming; the second, of Christ's suffering, death and exaltation on earth; and the third, of the resurrection from the dead and the assurance of immortality. Although the "Messiah" was presented 34 times during Handel's life, it was never presented on such a grand scale as it is today. If he were living today, Handel would probably be pleased with the Lindsborg chorus' version of his masterpiece.
Fine Arts Teachers Tour Kansas Towns
Four of the teachers from the School of Fine Arts faculty are on a concert tour of five towns in the state, D. M. Swarthout, dean, has announced.

Not very mad: Margie Kerschen, Alpha O, was washing her hair when roommate Marilyn Voth brought her a coke. Marilyn put it down on the bowl and went away. Immediately struck with great thirst, Margie reached out for the glass. A mop of wet hair, however, limited her visibility and, missing the coke, she picked up a glass of shampoo. Without stopping to taste, she downed it.

At present, the two roommates are barely speaking. Margie insists she was maliciously poisoned, and Marilyn says that Margie thoughtlessly drank up their combined month's supply of rationed shampoo.

"Turn up shirt collars before washing them...”
This fella has the right idea—it's just his technique that's a little sour. Shirt collars will last much longer if they are turned up before being sent to the laundry, for then the crease around the top doesn't get such heavy rubbing and consequently lasts longer before fraying.
Another fine point to remember—when you need new shirts, whether military or civilian, buy Arrow. They live up to their fine reputation for lasting wear and perfect fit. Don't forget the Sanforized label, which guarantees fabric shrinkage less than 1%.

STUDENT OPINIONS--more, said, "No. I do not believe freshmen should take a stereotyped course. A large number of students who enter college as freshmen never hope to graduate. During the two years, say, that they are in school they should be allowed to take the courses they have planned. If they were required to take certain things and no choice whatsoever was allowed some might choose not to attend a university even for two years."
Barbara Smith, College freshman, said, "The idea behind this plan is a good one, I think, because most freshmen don't know just what they do want to take. By setting up a well rounded program, they can figure much more easily what they want to specialize in."
Frances Morrill, College junior, said, "It seems to me that present English and group filling requirements limit the freshman enough in his choice of course to take. He should be given some leeway in making out his schedule. If he is old enough to do college work, he is old enough to make some decisions for himself.

Intensive research of the much discussed 12-foot basket will soon be carried out by its chief advocate, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen. The goals in Robinson have been raised to the new height as well as the ones in Hoch auditorium. Dr. Allen is going to have some games played under his supervision and will observe any changes caused by the 12-foot goal. Less fouling is expected by Dr. Allen as many fouls are made under the basket, an area which is usually very congested. But the new height will cause the rebounds to bounce farther out into the court and leave the basket area a little more clear, Dr. Allen believes.
The two teams that will probably play on the new baskets may be the Varsity and the V-12 team that won the Lawrence city league. These two quintets should be able to demonstrate on the high goals as well as afford an interesting game.

Chancellor Cherrington Will Speak May8 on Latin America At Annual Honors Convocation
Benjamin Cherrington, chancellor of the University of Denver, has been selected as speaker for the annual honors convocation to be held Monday. May 8, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced this morning.
Popular among the students at Denver University, Chancellor Cherrington has spent considerable time working with young people and has been asked to make addresses at several colleges in years past. Latin America's relations with this country, of which he has made an extensive study, will be the subject of Chancellor Cherrington's address here.
At the convocation, held every year late in the spring semester, the names of students ranking in the highest 10 per cent in scholarship of the senior class of each school, and of the leading juniors, sophomores, and freshmen in each school are announced. These students will sit in a special section at the assembly and will have their names printed on the programs.
Announcement is also made of the student from the graduating class of the previous year who, in the judgment of an all-University committee, made the largest contribution to student life during his University career. Selection is based on character, scholarship, breadth of interest, unselfish service, and leadership.
Bucharest Said To Be in Panic
(International News Service)
Dispatches from Istanbul reported a state of "indescribable panic" in Bucharest, the capital of Rumania today, ascribing this to the imminence of Odessa's capture by Russian troops and to steadily increasing Allied air assault against enemy communication lines in the Balkans. German propaganda broadcasts again said allied bombers were enroute to "Southeast Germany."
As a direct result of yesterday's heavy American bomber raid on the Ploesti oil fields, the Istanbul report said Rumanian authorities no longer are able to maintain order.
State Second in Grain Sorghums
Meanwhile battle front dispatches received in Moscow said that soviet vanguards were "in sight" of Odessa and 200,000 German troops were threatened with entrapment. A rail junction 37 miles northwest of Odessa was captured and the main Nazi escape line thus severed.
From the British Isles bombers carried out an effective attack on Toulouse deep in southern France. In Naples a Mediterranean airforce spokesman announced that Allied airmen destroyed 157 enemy planes in Sunday's heavy attack on the Austrian industrial city of Styr—the greatest toll yet taken in that theater.
Kansas is second only to one other state in production of grain sorghums, from which starches for food and other uses can be made. Grain sorghums also are used extensively as stock feed.
Several Killed in Explosion At Hastings, Neb., Plant
Hastings, Neb. (INS)—At least three persons and possibly eight were killed today in an explosion at the Hastings naval ammunition depot. Damage was estimated at $500,000 and an official investigation has been launched.
K.U. Observes Army Day With Special Retreat
In honor of Army Day the post flag of the University AST Units, which is flown only on special days, is flying beneath the Stars and Stripes on the flag pole north of Lindley hall.
A special retreat formation will be held at 5:30 this evening with the entire unit, including officers, staff members, regular trainees, and medical trainees, standing in ranks.
A Special Army Day greeting to the service was received at University military headquarters today from Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff of the United States Army:
"Traditionally Army Day has been an occasion when the Army engaged in parades and demonstrations for the public throughout the country. The necessities of war have made it inadvisable to transport and divert troops for this purpose. This year, as any other day, April 6 will be one of hard work to carry us that much nearer to victory.
"To every man and woman in the Army, we owe an increasing debt of gratitude for the fortitude and spirit with which their duties are being performed."
Gen. John J. Pershing, General of the Armies of the United States, also sent a special Army Day greeting to which he added: "I know that while the way will be hard and costly, victory will be won."
Dr. E. Raymond Hall, recently appointed chairman of the department of zoology and director of Dyche Museum, has been elected president of the American Society of Mammalologists of which he was formerly vice-president.
Hall ASM President; Hibbard Is Director
"The men will continue their academic and military activities throughout the day as usual," said Col. Watson L. McMorris, commandant of the University AST Units. "Attendance of all study hall periods tonight will be optional with the trainees."
Claude W. Hibbard, curator of vertebrate paleontology, has been re-elected to the board of directors for the term of 1944-46.

Willkie Returns Home After Withdrawal From GOP Race
Chicago, (INS)—Crestfallen but determined to smile, Wendell Willkie, journeyed homeward today on the last leg of a trip that began in the hope of reaching the White House and ended prematurely in admitted defeat.
Willkie stopped briefly in Chicago enroute to New York from Omaha where yesterday he withdrew from the race for the 1944 Republican presidential nomination.
Willkie declined to answer questions as to whether he would bolt the Republican party or support its candidate.
Wendell Willkie announced his withdrawal from the 1944 Republican presidential nomination race last night in Omaha. After a 50-minute speech on foreign policy before an audience of 3,000 persons who had expected to hear him as a presidential candidate, Mr. Willkie delivered a brief statement of his desire not to be nominated and the reasons for his action.
The test of his strength in the Wisconsin primary resulted in an overwhelming support of Gov.

Faculty Favors Blue Cross Plan
Favorable returns have begun to reach the University Business Office from a letter sent to seven hundred faculty members and other employees of the University of Kansas offering participation in the Blue Cross, a group hospitalization plan. The letters were sent over the signatures of the board of directors of the Teachers and Employees Association of the University of Kansas. On request of Chancellor Deane W. Malott, the board studied several hospitalization plans and chose this one to offer to the University group. The Blue Cross is sponsored by

Northwestern Faculty, Coeds Give Blood for Japanese
Evanston, Ill. (INS)—Two faculty members and six coeds have donated blood in attempts to save the life of Ikuo Oyama, 54, Japanese research associate in political science at Northwestern University. Oyama has been connected with Northwestern since 1933.
A spokesman for the AAF declared that the decision to temporarily halt increases in the training program was reached in order to provide a larger pool of men for the ground forces. As the result the AAF will not accept any new candidates for flight training either from civilian life or from other branches of the armed services for at least three months.
Army Air Force Denies Charges It Broke Faith
The AAF explains students now being withdrawn from air corps training at colleges will be affected in accordance with their standing before entering the college course; and men volunteering for the air forces on induction would remain with the air forces but probably would not receive flight training unless they are already in the process of training.
University Co-ops Will Be Hosts At Co-op Conference
Washington, (INS)—The army air forces sought today to refute charges that it is "breaking faith" with air corps cadets and civilian training pilots as the result of curtailment of the air force's training program.
University co-ops will be hosts to delegates from the other campus co-ops in the Central League at their annual conference next weekend. The Central League includes the campus co-ops in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kansas.
This year marks the fourth anniversary of the Central League of Campus Co-ops, which was formed in order to assemble members to exchange ideas on administration of co-operatives, discuss general and specific problems of the various coops, see the relation of their co-ops to the larger co-op movement, and take a look at the co-operative movement of the future.
This will be the second year that the University co-ops have been hosts to the conference, for the CLCC conference was held here in 1941. Last year degrades from the University co-ops went to the University of Missouri.
The annual Music Week festival for the University and Lawrence will open Sunday, April 16 and continue through Friday, April 21. D.M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, announced today.
The opening major musical event of the week will be Monday evening when Joseph Szigeti, Hungarian violinist, will present a recital in Hoch auditorium. This will also be the closing attraction on the University Concert series for the season.
Vocal and instrumental musical groups from the grade, junior, and senior high schools of Lawrence will open the week's activities with a Vesper program at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Hoch auditorium. Participating will be a primary rhythm band of one hundred children, elementary school and junior high school choruses, and the senior high school band. They will be under the direction of Mable Barnhard, Jeanne Scott, and Oliver Hobbs.
John Jacob Niles, lecture-recitalist, will present a program of American folk songs and ballads Tuesday evening in Fraser theater. He will be accompanied by the dulcimer "Life" magazine recently carried a five or six page illustrated feature story on Mr. Niles.
Wednesday evening will feature the annual Young American Artist program, an event inaugurated by Dean Swarthout several years ago to provide encouragement to superior talent. Sidney Foster, young concert pianist of New York City, will present the concert that evening.
Judge Queen Photos Monday Evening
The University A Cappella choir will present the final major musical event at 8:15 p.m. Thursday in Hoch auditorium. Accompanied by the University Symphony Orchestra and with Meribah Moore, Irene Fenbey, Joseph Wilkins, and Harold Thompson as soloists, the choir will sing the Rossini "Stabat Mater." More than one hundred and seventy-five persons will have part in the program.
The annual banquet and initiation of the new members of Fi Kappa Lambda, national honorary musical society, will be held Friday evening as the final event of the week.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Choice of Disciplines Is Offered by Life
Editor's note: The following editorial was written for the Daily Kansan by the Rev. Edwin F. Price, minister to students of the Methodist church.
No man wearing the uniform of his country today is "fit" until he has undergone a period of strenuous physical conditioning. Nor is a fighting man adequately prepared for combat until he has been psychologically conditioned in his controlling attitudes of mind. Is it any less reasonable to expect that moral and ethical living of high quality can be achieved apart from a voluntary giving of oneself to exacting ways of spiritual conditioning?
"The Disciplines of Liberty" is the significant title given by Dean Willard Sperry, of Harvard, to a volume some years ago. That title speaks a pertinent word to our day. Men will either give themselves to creative, self-imposed disciplines or they will have forced upon them, from without, the arbitrary disciplines of dictatorships—dictatorships political, social, moral, and spiritual.
The Cross is the symbol of the disciplined life, life disciplined from within by genuine love and loyalty to the Highest. "My friends," said Edward Markham, "we never choose the better part until we set the Cross up in the heart." The man who would escape all discipline in living will, very likely, soon find himself the victim of dictates imposed by others and by external circumstances.
But the man who voluntarily "accepts" the Cross and who sincerely commits himself to the disciplines of confident faith and sacrificial spirit will find that he has, on his own, chosen the only effective means of living above the irksome disciplines dictated from without.
One can discard the Cross and all self-imposed disciplines for high living, but in doing so one but runs up the white flag to living dictated by what happens. It is impossible to escape from discipline of one kind or the other. Will it be the discipline of inner commitment to that high way marked by a Cross, or will it be the discipline of submitting to the pressures dictated from without?
After World War I, a famous British chaplain said, "I do not so much fear hell anymore, but I am terribly afraid there will come a day when some one will look me in the eye and say, 'Well, what did you make of it?'
What will you make of it? For which discipline do you cast your ballot?
Lieutenants Visit Navy Training Station
Lt. J. W. Currinder, of the quality and control section of the Naval Personnel, Washington, D. C., and Lt. A. R. Vongontard, representative from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station for the schools in the ninth naval district, have been visiting the University Naval Training Station. They were conducting an inspection of the new electrical training school curriculum established recently.
Lieutenant Currinder is making a tour of all the naval training schools in the United States to inspect the training program in each station.
Lettermen Compose K Club
The K Club is composed of men who have won letters in intercollegiate athletics. The function is to promote a good spirit in athletic contests, to stand for clean sport, and to encourage and assist athletes to maintain a high standard of scholarship.
Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA HEDRICK
No name jive: Who is the author of the Jayhawker magazine "humor" column, "They Say," is still a trade secret. At an editors' conference, it was almost decided to give the column a byline to satisfy the readers. The proposed heading was, "They Say," by Seymour Sights, and compiled by the Damma Phi Nu honorary journalistic fraternity. This was the same afternoon that Bob Noll, former advertising manager, sat in on the meeting with a bottle of port wine.

Society note: Several members of Phi Beta Pi entertained at a small
party Tuesday night, in the basement of the chapter house. Delicious refreshments were served and songs were sung.

No Easter Parties Scheduled Pi Lambda Initiation Tonight
Prospects for a quiet weekend at the University are in store, without even an Easter egg hunt in sight. Most of the Easter partying over Saturday and Sunday will be done unobtrusively at home, although students who remain on the Hill will doubtless find sunday ways of entertainment, too. No parties have been authorized by Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, advisor of women.
Many of the universities and colleges over the country are now taking spring vacations, as is the University of Kansas City. Students are now enjoying a week's leave of absence from studying. Lawrence high school students too will observe the Easter season by having no classes on Friday or Monday.
Members and initiates of Pi Lambda Theta, national educational sorority, will be guests tonight at the initiation service and banquet at 5:30, at the Hearth. Nineteen pledges will be initiated into the sorority. Prof. E. T. Gaston, School of Fine Arts, will be the main speaker.

Mrs. Zilch Addresses Shack Rats
Coming in at the last minute after a series of telegrams delivered to Dean Sims, master of ceremonies which reported her rapid transit from the middle of the Pacific to Lawrence, Eleanor Zilch (alias Betty Lou Perkins) arrived at the Zilch dinner held in her honor last night, and talked of her travels to members of the journalism department and their guests. Eighty-two attended the dinner given at the colonial tea room.
Following skits by the reporting class and the feature writing class, the faculty sponsored a Dr. P. U. question and answer show with K. W. Davidson acting as master of ceremonies.
Between courses short imitations of the journalism faculty were given by Miss Helmer Breath (Joy Miller), Miss Fleon Bint (Jody Veatch), Miss Horge Runchhart (Ruth Krehbiel), Miss Scarlet Smyther (Kelma Smith), and Miss Kathleen Wauenea Davidson (Virginia Gunsolly).
The law of the press class also gave a skit. Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department appropriately sang "The Wolf," and Ruth Krehbiel as Percy Granger, played a piano solo.
Eleanor Zilch entitled her speech which concluded the banquet program "My Daze—and My Nights!" She spoke of being very happy to attend one of the famous University of Kansas journalism dinners at last.
"Elmer (her husband) always locked me in the basement and fed me through a tube, when he came," she complained.

Men will either give themselves to creative, self-imposed disciplines or they will have forced upon them, from without, the arbitrary disciplines of dictatorships -dictatorships political, social, moral, and spiritual.
The Cross is the symbol of the disciplined life, life disciplined from within by genuine love and loyalty to the Highest. "My friends," said Edward Markham, "we never choose the better part until we set the Cross up in the heart." The man who would escape all discipline in living will, very likely, soon find himself the victim of dictates imposed by others and by external circumstances.
But the man who voluntarily "accepts" the Cross and who sincerely commits himself to the disciplines of confident faith and sacrificial spirit will find that he has, on his own, chosen the only effective means of living above the irksome disciplines dictated from without.
One can discard the Cross and all self-imposed disciplines for high living, but in doing so one but runs up the white flag to living dictated by what happens. It is impossible to escape from discipline of one kind or the other. Will it be the discipline of inner commitment to that high way marked by a Cross, or will it be the discipline of submitting to the pressures dictated from without?
After World War I, a famous British chaplain said. "I do not so much fear hell anymore, but I am terribly afraid there will come a day when some one will look me in the eye and say, 'Well, what did you make of it?'
What will you make of it? For which discipline do you cast your ballot?

Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA
HEDRICK
No name jive: Who is the author of the Jayhawker magazine "humor" column, "They Say," is still a trade secret. At an editors' conference, it was almost decided to give the column a byline to satisfy the readers. The proposed heading was, "They Say," by Seymour Sights, and compiled by the Damma Phi Nu honorary journalistic fraternity. This was the same afternoon that Bob Noll, former advertising manager, sat in on the meeting with a bottle of port wine.
Society note: Several members of Phi Beta Pi entertained at a small
party Tuesday night, in the basement of the chapter house. Delicious refreshments were served and songs were sung.
Rock Chalk Comment: One round of "after-dinner" drinks started the debauche. Songs progressed from bad to worse, as two fifths . . . then another two pints . . . went down the hatch Frank Flack, with his usual gusto, was the life of the party until overcome by a super stupor.

No Easter Parties Scheduled Pi Lambda Initiation Tonight
Prospects for a quiet weekend at the University are in store, without even an Easter egg hunt in sight. Most of the Easter partying over Saturday and Sunday will be done unobtrusively at home, although students who remain on the Hill will doubtless find sundry ways of entertainment, too. No parties have been authorized by Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, advisor of women.
Many of the universities and colleges over the country are now taking spring vacations, as is the University of Kansas City. Students are now enjoying a week's leave of absence from studying. Lawrence high school students too will observe the Easter season by having no classes on Friday or Monday.
Members and initiates of PiLambda Theta, national educational sorority, will be guests tonight at the initiation service and banquet at 5:30, at the Hearth. Nineteen pledges will be initiated into the sorority, Prof. E. T. Gaston, School of Fine Arts, will be the main speaker.
Miller Hall - Helen Ventz was a dinner guest last night.

The marriage of Leta Arlene Bruchmiller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Bruchmiller of Lawrence, and Dale O. Allison of Wichita, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Allison of Baldwin, took place Sunday, April 2.
The marriage was solemnized in the Baptist parsonage in Wichita. The Rev. Lewis M. Hale officiated.
The bride was graduated from the University, and interned in diatetics at the University of Colorado hospitals in Denver. Since then she has been employed as a dietician at St. Luke's hospital in Denver.
Mr. Allison is associated with the Boeing Aircraft Corporation in Wichita, where he is a supervisor in flight operations.
Ten Former KU Men Commissioned Pilots
Among the largest class of Army combat pilots ever to receive their wings in one month were 10 former University of Kansas students. The rank of second lieutenant was conferred on these men, all of whom will go into active overseas duty within the next few weeks.

Fighter pilots who were commissioned include Harmon M. Holladay, Jr., and Morel F. Dunham, both at Moore Field, Mission, Texas; Rodney W. Selfridge and John G. Miller, both at Aloe Field, Victoria, Texas; Jack R. Bradley and Donald F. Trautwein, both at Eagle Pass, Texas; and Kenneth E. McGregor, William E. Smith, and Charles N.

Mrs. Zilch Addresses Shack Rats
Following skits by the reporting class and the feature writing class, the faculty sponsored a Dr. P. U. question and answer show with K. W. Davidson acting as master of ceremonies.
Coming in at the last minute after a series of telegrams delivered to Dean Sims, master of ceremonies which reported her rapid transit from the middle of the Pacific to Lawrence, Eleanor Zilch (alias Betty Lou Perkins) arrived at the Zilch dinner held in her honor last night, and talked of her travels to members of the journalism department and their guests. Eighty-two attended the dinner given at the colonial tea room.
Between courses short imitations of the journalism faculty were given by Miss Helmer Breath (Joy Miller), Miss Fleon Bint (Jody Veatch), Miss Horge Runchart (Ruth Krehiel), Miss Scarlet Smyther (Kelma Smith), and Miss Kathleen Wauenea Davidson (Virginia Gunsolly).
The law of the press class also gave a skit. Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department appropriately sang "The Wolf," and Ruth Krehbiel as Percy Granger, played a piano solo.
Eleanor Zilch entitled her speech which concluded the banquet program "My Daze—and My Nights!" She spoke of being very happy to attend one of the famous University of Kansas journalism dinners at last.
"Elmer (her husband) always locked me in the basement and fed me through a tube, when he came," she complained.

Fortieth Annual Track Meet To Be April 22
The flow of acceptances from invitations to take part in the 40th annual University Track and Field Meet, April 22, has begun in the Athletic office. Returns from preliminary post cards sent out indicate that the meet will be as good or better this year than last.
Ten Class A Kansas high schools were among the first to send word that they would have teams on hand. Included in this number is East High School of Wichita whose team won the event last year. At that time Ray Kanehl, present track coach at the University, was coaching the Wichita East team. Mr. Kanehl has been appointed by Acting Director, Karl Klooz, to have charge of the meet this year.

While stationed here on the campus one of the most obvious characteristics of the ASTP men was their great spirit. Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen was a frequent object of the army men's jokes and no one enjoyed it more than Dr. Allen himself. Often the marching groups would give a long and loud cheer for "Phog" Allen as they passed Robinson gymnasium. And there were artists among the men, too, for on the basketball coach's car, where rain and snow had splattered many unique pictures were drawn. A long greyhound decorated one side of the "the hearse," as it was called by the men; phrases of "Is dot you Foggie?"", "Crumb Allen," and others were printed all over the car. In one place there was a basketball court drawn with two baskets at each end marked 12 feet high, dedicated to Dr. Allen's revolutionary idea for improving basketball. All these and a few others were easy to see on the car.
Dr. Allen admired these men and was especially emphatic in his praise of the fine basketball team of the ASTP, which could have given any队a battle. When themen had no place to practice, he shared Robinson gym with them. Their admiration for the dean of American basketball coaches was great also. But the army has left now, and no cheers of "Yea Phog, Yea Allen, Yea Yea, Phog Allen" will be heard ringing down the campus and the "the hearse" can now be washed clean of its art work. The men of the ASTP have gone but their spirit remains. We have no doubt that wherever the army men from KU go, the morale of the place will improve.

Army airfield football teams were given a big boost lately when travel restrictions which would have held the teams to their bases were lifted. This will cause many bases to go in for big-time football as Randolph Field did last year. The Ramblers played 10 games last season, winning nine, losing one, and tying mighty Texas in the Cotton Bowl game. 7-7. Texas has several army air bases and no doubt is planning major schedules including as many colleges in the Southwest conference as possible.

College Planning Meet Called
52 High Schools Enter Newspaper Scoring Contest
Fifty-two high school newspapers have entered in the annual high school journalism contest sponsored through the department of journalism. This year's entry list is the largest on record, according to Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department.
The fact that no high school journalism convention will be held this year at the University, partially explains the increased interest in the contest, Mr. Beth believes. Eight Classifications In Context.
The eight classifications in which schools have entered the contest are news, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interviews, business management, school service, and miscellaneous. Several of the schools have submitted entries in all eight of these departments. Others have entered only two or three.
Contest entries will be judged during the month of April by members of the faculty of the department of journalism. Final decisions will be printed on a contest bulletin with a number of the winning stories and editorials. Copies of the bulletin will be distributed to all participating schools.
Easter Events
Arthurs Get Same Assignment
Throughout the time they were on the air, the two lieutenants, sons of Mr. and Mrs. C.S. Arthur of Lawrence, expressed appreciation at being together so far in the war—and hope of continued serving as a team. They said, however, that they both realized that was almost too much to hope for.
A Sunrise cantata at 7 a.m. Sunday will begin the Easter services for the Trinity Lutheran church which will be followed at 11:00 a.m. by the regular Easter worship service delivered by the Rev. Alfred J. Beil.
Churches Will Glorify Easter
The Rev.' Ernest L. Snodgrass of the First Baptist Church has chosen "The Christian Hopes" for the sermon topic of the 11:00 a.m. service. "Easter Means What?" will be discussed by the student class at 9:45 a.m. under the direction of the Rev. Charles W. Thomas.
At the end of the broadcast, the program was switched to Washington, where, from the navy headquarters, official word came that, because the two Arthurs have exhibited such excellent teamwork in the past, they were being placed again in the same squadron.
"Has Easter a Meaning Today?" is the sermon topic of the Rev. Hewater A, Jack for the 11 morning Easter service of the Unitarian church.
(continued to page four)
Will Have Choral Communion Choral communion will be at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday at the Trinity Episcopal church.
Communion will be included in the 10:45 a.m. services of the First Christian church with the sermon "If Christ Be Not Raised" to be delivered by the Rev. Harold G. Barr. Mrs. Harold G. Barr will lead the
Morning services of the First Methodist church will begin at 10:50 a.m. Sunday with the sermon, "The Meaning of the Resurrection," delivered by the Rev. Oscar E. Allison. The student class meeting at 9:45 a.m. will discuss "Moses and Law, Then and Now."
The Arthurs answered a number of questions about life as Navy Air Corps pilots. Several incidents of their past service were dramatized on the program.
Lieuts. (j.g.) Charles and William Arthur spoke last night on the Wrigley radio program from Chicago, telling of their experiences together in the Navy Air Corps.
Both recently were in Lawrence where Charles was married to Mary Ann Bowen, member of Chi Omega, on March 29, and William was married to Shirley Bayles, Kappa Alpha Theta, on April 2. The two brides were in the audience at the broadcast.
Events Easter Services Begin Today
Beginning with a Good Friday service in Fraser chapel at 4:30 this afternoon students are entering upon the Easter program which will culminate with the sunrise service at 7 a.m. Sunday on the lawn of Myers hall.
Dr. R. A. Schwegler is the speaker at the service this afternoon in which music is to be provided by the School of Fine Arts. The order of the service is as follows:
Preface
Solo: Ballad of Trees and The Master (Chadwick), Irene Peabody.

Lawrence Plans Teen Town to Combat Juvenile Delinquency
Verifying recent reports made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that juvenile delinquency has become one of the nation's major problems, Lawrence officials are attempting to remedy the local issue by means of supervised recreation for junior and senior high school students.
The Lawrence Recreation Council took the first step in this direction by providing a summer recreation program for students in the city schools. This group expanded the program by planning Friday night entertainment in the community building for junior and senior high school students. The principal part of the project consists of dancing to a juke box, although the game room and the reading room in the basement are accessible to the teenagers. The Council serves soft drinks each night.
Recently, plans were made to extend the work done for the teenage group by establishing a Teen Town in Lawrence, similar to those which have proved successful in surrounding towns. A survey taken among Lawrence citizens indicates that the project would be favorably received.
Undoubtedly, Lawrence is a fertile ground for such a project. The program should be carefully planned, however, so that teenagers themselves take part in organizing and directing Teen Town. Psychologically, they must feel that they have a definite responsibility in the organization.
Juvenile delinquency is natural in abnormal times. The community itself helps to create the problem by engaging in wartime activities which bring a transient population. Likewise, the community must help solve the situation.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
Living up to its reputation, the Zilch dinner Wednesday night, was again one grand mud-slinging free-for-all. Faculty members pitted against students, the battle raged on until 9:15.
The first low blow was struck by Dean Sims, master of ceremonies, who read aloud telegrams from the errant Eleanor Zilch, which were delivered to him at intervals during the dinner by Charles Moffett. The first telegram, addressed to Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the journalism department, came from San Francisco and read: "Dear Elmer-Welmer: am eating a coconut as I run toward Kansas. Hope your bath tub is still full of prohibition gin. Am in need of refreshment. Affectionately yours, Eleanor."
T. C. Ryther, director of the University Press, was the recipient of another message from Kansas City which M. C. Sims also tactlessly read aloud. "Dear Red," it went, "Having a breather at the Drumroom. Wish you were here to mix me one of your famous 'purple passions.' Still remember the deals we used to have when Mrs. R. went shopping —WOW! Eleanor. P.S. Hope Mrs. R. is out shopping now. WOW"
The faculty countered with their Dr. P. Yew program. K. W. Davidson, retired Director of Information, was back for the evening to do most of the dirty work. He started off by offering Beverly Bohan a package of something or other if she would explain the symptoms of ASTP melancholia or divulge what
swat fest technique she used when she stepped into the ring with a Sig Alph.
Getting the gender of his foundation garments twisted, K. W. went on to ask Virginia Gunsoilly just how long one must wear a Phi Delt pin on her undershirt before it can be brought out in the open.
Betty Lou Perkins made one of the most convincing members of the Zilch tribe which has ever attended a Zilch journalism dinner. Between contortions to hold her false teeth in (she had a real plate) Betty Lou —that is Eleanor Zilch—gave an interesting account of her travels. She spoke of meeting Ruth Tippin, Miller hall, while crossing the ocean. "Ruth," she said, "was seriously considering suicide because her Reporting III assignment had been to get a personal interview with Hitler and she had failed."
Billie Thiele, however, was in just about as bad a situation. "She had gotten an interview with Himmler, but had to swallow the notes to get out of Germany. And then, when the ocean got rough, she had lost them."

Nineteen women were initiated into the organization.
For the well-trained though inexperienced teacher there is opportunity to aid in moving the educational program forward from its former 'rut.' Because of the urgent need for teachers to elevate the present educational standards created by the lack of teachers, a problem exists today which is as pressing as any other war problem.
As an added inducement for the teaching profession, Prof. Gaston pointed to the advantages of prestige of the well-trained teacher and the increased salary.

Basketball Fans Will Like New Rules Says Bruce Drake
Norman, Okla, April 7—Basketball fans everywhere will like the 1945 rules with five personal fouls and unlimited substitution legalized, and goal-tending banned.
That's the opinion of Bruce Drake. Oklahoma's youthful "roundball" prey, who strongly advocated all three changes.
Drake thought the five-foul rule should have been passed back in 1937 when elimination of the center jump not only added six or seven minutes to the length of every game, but furiously speeded up the game's tempo, thereby increasing the probability of fouls.
Ignoring the fact that basketball rules were supposed to be frozen for the duration, Drake led a national campaign against goal-tending, attacking it in a Saturday Evening Post article, interesting the national rules committee in it, and organizing the nation's top-flight coaches in such overwhelming opposition to it that in two short months he successfully concluded what for years had looked like a hopeless effort.
Although proponents of goaltending argued that its abolition constituted an unfair assault on the abnormally tall player, Drake was the avowed champion of the Lilliputians, whom he pointed out comprised 99.7 per cent of the game's players.
"Elimination of goal-tending won't take a thing away from the giants that hasn't always been denied the average-sized player," the Sooner coccah said, "The tall man still has a wide advantage in rebounding, post play, shooting and recovery of loose balls. Of course, he will have to know some basketball."
Drake likened goal-tending to a croquet player suddenly thrusting his foot across a wicket to spoil an opponent's perfect shot, or a pocket billiard player placing his hand across a pocket toward which his adversary's scoring ball was rolling. He didn't think players should interfere with the goal and thus make a farce of the game.
Otherwise Drake was perfectly willing to take his chances with opposition tall players.
No Recognition Given To DeGaulle's Party
Washington, (INS)—President Roesevel served notice today that the American government is determined to refrain from recognizing the French national liberation committee as the provisional government of France.
The President told his news conference that the French people must after they are liberated, be given the full right of self determination concerning the government and leaders they want.
President Roosevelt's statement was seen as a sharp rebuke to Gen. Charles De Gaulle, president of the French national liberation committee, who declared publicly last Tuesday that the committee represented the government of France.

With spring football practices being held all over the country talk has once again turned to the "T" formation, a subject of much discussion for the last few years. Down at Oklahoma Coach "Snorter" Luster, may introduce some T formation plays this fall. Luster has been experimenting the current spring drills with a wing-back T formation combined with Oklahoma's single wingback set-up of 1943, and likes it. Two new opponents on the Sooner schedule next fall are Texas A. and M. College and Texas Christian University.
**
Much talk has been making the rounds about the possibility of Missouri and Kansas playing their next fall's football game in Ruppert Stadiuim at Kansas City. Both schools get publicity when playing there and the possibility of a good crowd is better. There was a proposal last year to play the KU-MU contest in Kaycee, but the Jayhawkers had already sold many tickets and it would have been very inconvenient to change the meeting place at so late a date. The Tigers may also want to keep the game at home this year, too and give the home fans a chance to see the game. The Jayhawkers will be hoping the game is changed to Kansas City, because of traveling conditions. The decision will have to come from Missouri as they are to be the host team. Kansas already has a game in Kansas City with Texas Christian University.
Kansas fans probably won't get as many chances to see the Jayhawkers in action this year as they did last, as there will be only two Big Six games at Lawrence, plus any non-conference teams. Last season the team played a five and five schedule.
my at spring football practice was greatly intensified when a couple of women students of artistic ability visited the field and painted pictures of Tojo and Hitler on the dummies. Coach Henry Shenk this morning was smiling as he described the increased drive which his men showed in practice yesterday.
More than thirty-five men have signed up for spring practice with daily attendance running between 27 and 30. Some hefty lads are among the candidates, but Coaches Shenk and Schaake are eager to get more experience on the squad.

Former Kansas coach, Wayne Replogle, has originated a system of mass drill exercises for Navy trainees which is gaining attention of Naval authorities. He borrowed the idea from the Canadians. By the use of logs he developed coordination and cooperation in near perfect precision, according to a dispatch from Wabash College where Replogle is now stationed as a Chief Specialist in Physical Education. His "log rhythm" exercises have been photographed in movies and they, together with his manual, have been forwarded to the Navy Department at Washington for review and adoption. Chief Replogle has offered his system to the Kansas Physical Education Department if Dr. F. C. Allen, head of the department, can make use of it. The offer came in a letter to Chancellor Deane W. Malott.

Szigeti to Play Violin in Recital Monday in Hoch
Joseph Siziget, the great Hungarian violinist, will open the Music Week festivities with a recital at 8:20 p.m. Monday in Hoch-auditorium.
Millions have heard him over the air on the Ford Sunday evening hour, the Philharmonic Symphony Society's Sunday afternoon broadcasts, the Treasury Hour, Mutual's series of nine "Szigeti Concerto Hours," WABC's Mozart series, and his solo appearances with the CBS Symphony. He has also appeared during the summer at the Ravinia festival and in the Hollywood Bowl. About to Become American Citizen
Called "the Joachim of today" for his interpretations of the classics, his flair for folk music, gypsy, Brazilian or Soviet in origin, Mr. Szigeti has appeared before record crowds. Benny Goodman has called him his "musical idol," and has appeared with him on a concert, on broadcasts, and on records.
Perhaps the most travelled of virtuosos, Mr. Szigeti now devotes his entire time to the musical pattern of this country. About to become an American citizen, he has recently purchased a home in Southern California.
Mr. Szigeti first played the violin in his native Hungary. Born in Budapest, he was taught by his father and his uncle. Soon he was placed under the guidance of the great Hungarian violinist and teacher, Jeno Hubay.
At the age of 12, Szigeti was brought by Hubay to Joachim, the greatest violinist of the 19th century, who accompanied the boy on the piano as he played the Beethoven Concerto on the violin. He played so brilliantly that Joachim declared the young Hungarian was ready for concert appearances. "He has a great future," Joachim predicted. One year later, Mr. Szigeti made his debut. He followed his first public performance with concerts in music capitals of the continent.
Easter Sunshine Fades Into Downpours Today
Few V-12's Restricted For 4 Week's Grades
Spring rain drenched the campus last night and today in contrast to a bright sunny Easter.
Wheat farmers were glad for the rain but in Eastern Kansas where other types of crops are raised the rain delayed still further the cultivation and planting.
The grade restriction list for the first four weeks period of the V-12 program this semester was released early this morning.
Nearly an inch of rain fell last night, and today and the ground was soaked to overflowing which threatened small streams.
"There are fewer men on the restriction list this time than ever before at a corresponding period during the semester," said Lt. (j.g) Robert T. Fitzhugh, executive officer for the University V-12 unit.
"A majority of the trainees stationed here are advanced students who have successfully oriented themselves to the curriculum and the new trainees are doing exceptionally well," Lt. Fitzhugh said.
As if by design, a Saturday night rain abated Sunday morning and the sun broke through to give this community the fresh warm springtime atmosphere that made possible large church attendance and Easter parades.
To the superstitious, the lack of rain Sunday will mean seven clear Sundays following Easter. Whether there will be seven rainy Mondays remains to be seen.
The lecture comes under the auspices of the departments of political science and romance languages of the University of Kansas.
Dr. Efron is a consultant of the National Planning Association in Washington, D.C., an organization composed of permanent leaders who make findings and reports for governmental and private agencies. His position is that of principal analyst for Latin America. He has lectured widely on inter-American affairs.
"Dr. Efron's address next Tuesday is particularly timely," said Prof. W. H. Shoemaker of the department of romance languages, "in view of the difficult international and political situation, both as regards the war and other inter-American relations."
"The Argentine Powderkeg" will be discussed Tuesday, April 11, at 4:30 p.m. in Fraser Theater, when Dr. David Efron, Argentinian economist, will speak.
Dr. Efron holds a doctor's degree in philosophy from the University of Buenos Aires and another doctorate in social science from Columbia University. He studied three years in Paris and Berlin, 1929-31, and came to this country on a fellowship of the Institute of International Education for the year 1932-33. He served as proffesor of Latin American culture and Spanish at Sarah Lawrence College from 1936-42.
Economist to Discuss Argentine Problem Here Tomorrow
Fifty-six electrician's mates arrived in Lawrence, Thursday to start a 16-week course in electrical training at the University Naval Training Station. They were sent to the University from San Diego where they recently completed their "boot training."
"The new group of trainees will make up platoon two of company four," said Chief Petty Officer George O. Starkey, captain's yeoman. "This new assignment of electrician's trainees will complete the quota for University training station."
Fifty-six EM's Arrive For 16-Week Course
Wiley Schedules Orchestra and Band Concerts
Two concerts are scheduled by the University band and orchestra during the next two months, Russell L. Wiley, director, has announced. The band will present its concert on Monday, May 29, and the orchestra will perform Thursday, June 8.
The band program will lean toward the popular side and will feature a selection from the new show "Oklahoma." Instrumental and vocal solos will be included in the program, which will feature such favorites as "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" (Jerome Kern) and a take-off on "You're in the Army Now." To Have Classical Background
A heavier background will be provided by such classics as Strauss' "Fledermaus" waltz, "Symphony in C Minor" (Williams), and "Scene du Bal" (Coates) from the "Miniature Suite." The band will also play a Spanish number, "El Relicario" (Padilla), the Celtic Set" (Cowel) for reels and hornpipes, and "Cabins" (Gillette).
Of the orchestra concert to be presented June 8, Professor Wiley says, "It is the most charming program I have ever arranged for any group." The opening number will be Mozart's overture from the "Marriage of Figaro."
Doris Sheppard to Play Solo
Other numbers scheduled include "Sketches from the Caucasus" (Ippolitov-Ivanov) and Brahn's "Symphony No. 2." Doris Sheppard, violinist, will play a solo, "D Minor Concerto," (Wieniawski) arranged for violin and orchestra. The orchestra will also play two Tekhalowsky numbers, "Romeo and Julie" fanasty, and "Andante Cantabile."
Reds Seize Odessa Destroyed by Nazis
(International News Service)
In a triumphant order of the day troops of the Soviet army Premier Marshall Joseph Stalin tonight announced Russian recapture and liberation of Odessa, great naval base of the Black sea, evacuated by defeated German forces.
The Nazi high command also officially 'announced evacuation of Odessa, which was captured, two and a half years ago at the cost of a quarter of a million casualties. As usual Berlin claimed that everything 'of military value in the city had been destroyed.
Seizure of Odessa places the Russians within 80 miles of the mouth of the Danube and presages an early coordinated drive south of the Carpathian mountains into the plains of Hungary and Rumania. Fighting on the Rumanian front still centered on the railway center of Iasia (Jassy) half encircled by Russian troops which scooped up 200 towns in a steam roller drive.
Schoeppel Denies Plea
Topeka, (INS)—Gov. Andrew F. Schoeppel today denied the clemancy plea to Clark B. Knox, 26-year-old negro, sentenced to hang April 15 for the fatal shooting of Edward Nugent, Kansas City, Kan. policeman.

Colonel Pumphry Will Visit University ASTP
Colonel Pumphy of the Curricula Branch of the AST Division headquarters, Washington, D.C., will visit the University of Kansas on April 13 and 14. He will inspect the AST reserve program which is being conducted on the campus.
Norman Thomas, several times Socialist candidate for President, will be a guest of the Student Forums Board at the University, Wednesday, Joy Miller, chairman of the board, announced today.
Students will have several opportunities to hear the political leader during the day, Miss Miller said. A morning meeting will be held in Fraser Theater.
Mr. Thomas will speak informally at a luncheon, open to all students and faculty members, in the University Club dining room adjoining the Memorial Union cafeteria. Those attending the luncheon will go through the cafeteria lines before being seated in the University Club room. Students with 11:30 classes are invited to come to the luncheon following their class period.
Norman Thomas To Speak Here
An open forum at which students and faculty members will be free to ask Mr. Thomas questions is scheduled for 3:30 in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Mr. Thomas will leave Wednesday evening for Minneapolis. Appointments in Minneapolis early Thursday make it impossible for him to speak at the University Wednesday evening. The Forums Board feels, however, that the well-known socialist's present schedule will enable every University student to hear at least one of his addresses.

Catching Up With Events
Washington, (INS)—Repercussions from the speech of Secretary of State Cordell Hull were observed at home and abroad with the most intense reaction coming from DeGauille, French leader who said he was intensely disappointed in the stand taken by America.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull asked the American people not to let the controversies of an election year create disunity and destroy their effectiveness in world affairs, in his radio address from Washington last night.
The secretary of state reminded Americans that "once before in our lifetime we fell into disunity and became ineffective in world affairs by reason of it."
"Should this happen again," he warned, "it will be a tragedy to you and to your children and to the world for generations."
To consider post-war developments at the University of Kansas hospitals a joint meeting of officers of the University Endowment association with members of the Medical School, endowment committee will be held this evening in Kansas City, Kan.
Drafting of formerly deferred engineers and chemists from the campus is now an imminent possibility, announced L. C. Woodruff, registrar, who received word from the selective service board over the weekend that college students enrolled in engineering, physics, chemistry, geology, or geophysics courses are no longer being deferred.
"This does not necessarily mean that such students will be called immediately," explained Mr. Woodruff. "On the other hand, there is no assurance that they will be allowed to finish this semester of school either. We do not, at present, know exactly what will happen."
Members of the endowment committee of the School of Medicine at
Approximately 50 men, all civilians, at the University will be affected by this new bill, records at the registrar's office revealed. This order has nothing to do with the army engineers and medics enrolled here now, as they will continue their studies, the registrar said.
Many projects are under consideration and it is the desire of the Medical School committee working under the general endowment association to obtain gifts for specific projects. Students already have under consideration a memorial building, but the endeavors of the committee are said to be looking also toward general improvements of the hospitals.
The question of continued deferment for students in the above classifications who can be graduated by or before July 1, 1944, and for pre-professional students in medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, veterinary medicine, and theology is still under consideration by military authorities. Notice as to their decision on this point will be announced by Mr. Woodruff as soon as it is received.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Education Stresses Wrong Values in Life
Since Thomas Jefferson first pointed out the way to democracy by the road of education, Americans have been solidly sold on the idea of education for all. In accordance with that belief, we have built and expanded our school systems to the point that they are unsurpassed in the world.
We have our education on a grand scale, all right, and someday soon every child in the land will get an education. The system, however, fails in what should be its primary purpose—to train American citizens how to live in their democracy. It fails because, subtly or openly, it gives the wrong slant to life.
"Success Story" Is Taught
Our school system emphasizes the very values which led us into the war and will lead us in again. Materialism, money-making, and the desire to "get ahead" are the values which school children are taught to believe are the important ones in life. From the grade school up into higher education young people are constantly indoctrinated with the ideal of the "success story." Those successful graduates — those who have risen high in the realm of wealth—are held up as examples to be followed. Even if he is taught differently at home, the child who goes through the average American school, becomes firmly convinced that wealth brings success and that the combination yield happiness.
World Needs Good Leaders
The world is greatly in need of those leaders who understand their fellowmen, who know how to get along peacefully with them and to work together with them for their mutual benefit. Are our schools teaching this kind of knowledge? Is not the emphasis placed on how to get ahead in the world instead of how to get along in it?
Right now the future citizens of a democracy are in school. The type of education they are getting now will not teach them how to solve the problems ahead of them. They must be taught how to live peacefully an dto work with, instead of against their neighbors. This fundamental knowledge should be the basis of our educational programs.
Miss Twente Will Conduct Social Case Work Institute
Miss Esther E. Twente, assistant professor of sociology, will conduct the Social Case Work institute at the joint meeting of the Kansas and Missouri conferences of social work which will be held in Kansas City, Mo. April 16 to 19.
Approximately 1,000 persons will attend the conferences, Miss Twente said.

Rock Chalk Talk
Good old-fashioned girl: Unable to find any cleaning establishment that would clean their rugs, the TKE's, particularly Bob Trueheart and Bill Acton, began to look around for some domestic women. Finally Ruthe Marsh (blonde as well as domestic) and her house guest at Harmon Co-op, were nominated and invitations to a party Friday at the TKE house were extended to them. The girls got wind of the rug washing plans which had been made for them, but they decided (force of habit being what it is) they were pretty safe in keeping the engagement. And sure enough, Friday upon the stroke of eight, the entire house rose and adjourned with their guests to the Pit, without a second thought to housecleaning.

Ode to a Chromosome: A glance at the Zoology Club's song sheet shows that the Snow hall organization has been one of the leading factors in the campaign to convince outsiders that "University people are just plain nutty." The following, sung to the tune of "My Maryland," is a favorite among club members: Oh Chromosome, Oh Chromosome! What burdens dost thou carry! Oh Chromosome, Oh Chromosome! One hardly dares to marry. There's atrophy and cataract, By which one may be blinded And epilepsy and wanderlust, And why not feeble-minded?

The worms crawl in: The return of John Wilkes Booth's casket (used by the Delts at the Y Carnival) was an event which Lawrence townspeople will long remember. The Delts loaded the casket on the front bumper of the first of a procession of three cars. One of the brothers solemnly mounted the box, and sat

cress-legged on it--as the procession toured the campus and the business district. The cars parked several blocks from Funk's mortuary and six Delt pall bearers disengaged the casket from the bumper, lined up on either side of it and advanced toward the mortuary harmonizing on a dirge.
Mother Necessity: Observing that Jim Sandell, Phi Bete, lisped when he spoke, all because of a tongue burn received while breaking in a new pipe, Robert (Potty) Jensen decided to use fire-proof methods on his own new chin warmer. Proceeding, the Great Jensen stole a table blotter and rolled it into a funnel, putting the small end into the bowl of his pipe. He turned the electric fan on at the large end. The system worked beautifully until something slipped and Potty was almost carved into bits. Jim considers himself well off with a burned tongue.
Students Will Continue Reading Aloud Tomorrow
Reading aloud, will be continued tomorrow night according to Miss Margaret Anderson, department of speech and drama. The meeting will be held at 7:30 in Green hall in room 103. Students are to bring prose and poetry to be read aloud.
"The present plan is to meet each week at this hour," announced Miss Anderson.

Foster to Give Recital On Annual Program
Sidney Foster, young American pianist, will present a recital at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 19, in Fraser theater, as one of the events of the Music Week Festival at the University which begins Sunday.
Mr. Foster will appear on the annual Young American Artist program, a regular event of Music Week. This program was inaugurated by Dean D. M. Swarthout several years ago as an opportunity to present to the University and Lawrence concert artists of exceptional ability who are making their first appearances nationally and who will probably go far in the concert game.
In three years, Mr. Foster has given three concerts in Carnegie hall. In 1941 he made his debut as soloist with the New York Philharmonic orchestra under the direction of John Barbirolli. In writing up this concert, the New York Times reported that "his brilliant playing occasioned a prolonged ovation." Mr. Foster also appeared on the program at a recent meeting of the Music Teachers National Association in Cincinnati. Dean Swarthout made arrangements with him at that time to appear at the University.

Sportorials

The favorite to win the Big Six outdoor track meet to be held at Nebraska in May will be Iowa State. The Cyclones showed power in winning the indoor crown. They have several additions to the squad besides eight of the men who were on the championship indoor team. The powerful Iowa Seahawks won a dual meet Saturday from the Cyclones, 59-45.
But don't count the Jayhawkers out. Coach Ray Kanehl has a large squad working daily and several new prospects have developed. The Kansas squad showed strong potentialities during the indoor season and if these can be brought out the Jayhawk thin-clad should make a fine showing at Lincoln.

The first whole week of spring football practice was climaxed last Friday by hard scrimmage. Coaches Shenk, Schaake, and Nesmith put their charges through drills and followed with a "game." Several plays, including two passes, have been given the men, and these were used in the scrimmage. The blocking and tackling are still ragged but signs of definite improvement are evident. The coaching staff plans to hold a good hard scrimmage every Friday under game conditions.

Five coaches and Ned Irish, director of Madison Square Garden, picked an all-Garden team, omitting New York teams. The team selections were:
Ferrin, Utah; Klier, Notre Dame; Mikan, De Paul; Caywood, Western Michigan; Brindley, Dartmouth.
Ferrin, 18-year-old freshman sensation, was the only man to be chosen unanimously for the team by all six men. "Foothills" Kurland of the Oklahoma Aggies was picked for the second team as was Bob Brannum of Kentucky, former Winfield High lad.

Official announcement of the plans for the baseball season should be announced very soon now. "Scuttlebutt" has it that Jack Austin will be coach of the diamond sport. The field has been cleaned and other necessary preparations are being made. All that is needed now is the "go-ahead" signal from the proper authorities and practices will begin, (if the weather will also give its permission).
Roberts Is on Leave in Herrington Maurice P. Roberts, yeoman first class, of the V-12 office, is visiting his parents in Herrington. He is on a 7-day leave and will return to his duties on Monday, April 17.

University Receives Rare Gift From Col. Karl F. Baldwin
A unique gift of valuable Australian minerals and ore specimens has come to the University from Col. Karl F. Baldwin, military attach at Melbourne, Australia. Colonel Baldwin was commander of the R.O.T.C unit at the University of Kansas for five years from 1936 to 1941
Many of the samples sent by Colonel Baldwin were from a suite of ore and associated minerals from the Broken Hill Mines in the south of Australia, which were originally brought into production by former president Herbert Hoover. They include high-grade specimens of the silver-lead minerals, argentiferous galena, pyromorphite and cerussite, the iron bearing zinc mineral, marmatite, and the copper mineral, chalcopyrite. Associated with these are certain gangue and accessory minerals including pyrrhotite, quartz calcite, garnet, rhodonite, bustamite, fluorite, and sturtite.
The sturtite mineral is found in few places other than the Broken Hill district, and the large crystalline specimens sent by Colonel Baldwin are especially prized by the geology staff. "The large pink crystals of beautiful rhodonite offset by white calcite are strikingly beautiful, while the tiny hexagonal barrel-shaped pyromorphite crystals on cerussite will be appreciated for their rarity by all mineralogists," said Prof. Tell Ertl, assistant professor of mining engineering. "Some of the quartz, especially a sample with brownish-pink spessorit garnet, show an opalescence which approaches chatoyant (cat's eye)." Sample of Pure Yellow Copper
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, to whom the gift was sent, has turned it over to the department of geology where it will be used in rounding out an already priceless mineral collection.
Rarely Found Elsewhere
One sample, an almost pure piece of canary yellow chalcopyrite (copper) was from the well-known Mt. Isa Mines, at Queensland, Australia. Another was from an Australian meteorite which presents evidence of the composition of the center of our earth.
Three small pieces of magnificent precious opal in-the-rough complete the lot. The smallest of these is almost spherical and is approximately the diameter of a dime. It presents an eye-catching flash of colors which cover a wide range from yellow, orange, and red, through green and blue.
Colonel Baldwin also sent to Chancellor Malott a collection of Russian war posters. These are to be turned over to the department of design along with a former collection of Australian war posters which Colonel Baldwin sent several months ago. Miss Marjorie Whitney, head of the department of design, is making a collection of American war posters.
Seniors Asked For Information By Commission
To aid military authorities in assigning men to appropriate jobs in the war effort, the war mampower commission has requested all second-semester seniors in certain fields to fill out questionnaires which are now available in the registrar's office, L. C. Woodruff, registrar, announced this morning.
This directive applies to all seniors in the fields of engineering, chemistry, physics, mathematics, meteorology, and geology who will graduate by July 1, 1944, and especially those men in a 2-A draft classification, explained Mr. Woodruff.
The questionnaires, which are to be filled out in his office as soon as possible, include blanks about the student's military experience, marital status, special abilities, foreign travel, and other information which would help in making recommendations for assignments in the war effort according to the person's capabilities. These, together with a record of the student's transcript, will be sent in immediately to the war manpower commission by the University.
Mr. Woodruff, who explained that such information would be of great benefit to the student if he is drafted or assigned to essential civilian industry, urged that all such seniors fill out the questionnaires within the next few days.
Scheduled to arrive in Lawrence by train from New York at 8:48 a.m. tomorrow, Norman Thomas, several time Socialist candidate for president, will speak to students first at 9:30 a.m. in Fraser Theater, Joy Miller, chairman of the Student Forums Board which is bringing Mr. Thomas to the University, has announced.
Thomas Will Speak Three Times Tomorrow Before Students
Mr. Thomas will also address students and faculty members at a luncheon in the University Club dining room in the Memorial Union building and at 3:30 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. His addresses will be informal with an opportunity for questions from his audience.
The luncheon tomorrow noon will begin at 12 o'clock. Guests are to go through the cafeteria lines in the Union cafeteria before being seated in the University Clubroom. Students and faculty members who have classes until 12:20 are invited to come to the luncheon following their class periods.
The meeting at 3:30 p.m. in the Kansas room will be in the form of an open forum. All students and faculty members who can come are invited to attend.
Mr. Thomas will leave early Wednesday evening for Minneapolis.
Philip C. Kaiser of the University geological survey staff has returned to Lawrence after spending a week in Wichita. Kaiser has been working with the survey branch office there.

Floods Follow Storms in Kansas; Several Towns Isolated Today; Fourteen Deaths in Southern States
Rain Stops Gardeners and Busses
It was reported at 11 a.m. today that the latest mill pond reading for the Kaw river measured 15 feet.
Since Sunday morning, rainfall for this area, according to C. J. Posey, volunteer weather observer, measured 2.7 inches. This has greatly affected the Wakarusa river which has risen to 28 feet, according to A. L. Holcom. Flooding stages for this river begin at 27 feet.
April showers may bring flowers but we have our doubts, for gardeners and farmers of Douglas county are complaining that small backyard rivers are washing out the carefully planted seeds. There is even a look of discouragement and anxiety in the eyes of those University professors who planted victory gardens a few weeks ago.
Delta Sigma Theta Plans National Meet
Transportation has also been affected by the heavy rainfall. It was reported at 11 a.m. today that buses to and from Tulsa, Okla., had been canceled temporarily and that buses from Albuquerque, N.M., and Denver, Colo., which were due in Lawrence at 8:27 and 9:23 a.m. had not arrived yet.
Announcement of a national convention to be held in August at Wilberforce College, Wilberforce, Ohio, was made here Saturday at the regional meeting of Delta Sigma Theta, national colored sorority.
Delegates to the meeting represented chapters at Langston University, Iowa State, Lincoln University, Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg, Washburn University; and graduate students from Oklahoma, Wichita, Kansas City, Topeka, and Kansas City, Mo.
In the election, Alice Monroe of the Gamma Beta chapter in Topeka was chosen new regional director. June Mack, College senior from Topeka, represented the local chapter of which she is the president, and Cozetta Wilson of Ottawa was alternate.
Court Holds Law Unconstitutional Washington (INS) — The supreme court in a 7 to 2 decision yesterday held unconstitutional a Florida law under which a man failing to perform work under contract can be imprisoned.
The delegates decided to present suggestions concerning scholarship, initiation, and undergraduate chapter problems to the national meeting.
Holding that the law offends provisions against peonage, the high court's decision frees Emmanuel Pollock, a negro who was convicted of getting $5 from his employer and failing to perform the work promised.

The fourth annual Central League of Campus Co-ops conference will be held here Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Delegates from campus coops in the Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas region will gather to air their problems, seek insight into their solutions, and gain more knowledge of the cooperative movement.
Kansas is one of several states in the Middlewestern plain area drenched by two days of rainfall to the point of floods.
Isolation of cities and towns in the eastern part of the state was reported, but the state had no fatality the water works system and a fi-
Fourteen deaths and injuries to 141 persons were reported today in Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas, as a result of storms and flood. Three persons were reported missing.
Initial reports show that 315 families are affected by the heavy rain which followed storms and forced many creeks and rivers out of their banks.
In Kansas the Neosho, the Verdiagris, and Marais des Cygnes rivers, in eastern Kansas today overflowed their banks inundating hundreds of acres of farmland and closing highways to all traffic. The Neosho spilled 7.6 feet above its banks at Burlington, 5 feet at Chanute, and 4.3 at Emporia. The Verdigris reads 10 degrees above flood stage at Independence while the Marais des Cygnes rose 5 feet above its banks at Quenemo and 2 feet above at Ottawa. Another 4 feet rise at these points is expected. Flooded highways isolated Burlington and Independence and partially cut off Emporia, Coffeyville, Ottawa, and other towns in the area. Heavy rains accompanied by high winds caused property damage at Walnut and Hutchinson last night.
League of Co-ops Will Air Problems At Conference
Although the conference is primarily held for the exchange of ideas on student co-ops, this year several members of the Consumers Cooperative association of North Kansas City, Mo., have been invited to speak to the students on their relationship to other cooperative enterprises. Gardner W. Heidrick, CCA personnel director, will address the conferences on that subject at one of the Saturday morning meetings.
The educational director of the Consumers Cooperative association, Merlin G. Miller, will take part in a round table discussion on "Reconstruction through Co-ops" with Prof. Lealand Prichard of the economics department and Dr. Homer Jack, Unitarian minister.
Highlight of the conference will be the Saturday night banquet at the Unitarian church. Miss Gladder, Haskell, secretary of CCA's educational department, will be the guest speaker. Entertainment will be provided by KU Co-op members.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Board of Regents Should Reconsider Ruling Against Neisi
In the bloody days before the Civil war, Kansas won a place for herself in history books as a hardy, pioneering state. The early settlers fought to the death for what they believed, and they believed in the freedom which our Constitution grants every man. Future historians need save no place in their unwritten books for the pioneering spirit of Kansas in this war, for we in Kansas are far behind our neighboring states in pioneering these days.
Our neighboring Universities of Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado have long since opened their doors to American citizens of Japanese descent. But Kansas, the state where the leaders of the people used to fight for moral issues, bars Japanese-American students from attending any of the state-owned schools.
Board Refuses to Reconsider
It is hard to believe that Kansans as a whole are prejudiced against the Neisi. these Neisi whose brothers are fighting abroad for America, their homeland. The truth is that the Board of Regents of the state took action nearly two years ago to keep Japanese-American students out of the state schools of Kansas. This was at the time of the furor on the west coast and the relocation of the Japanese-Americans.
Since then persons in the state, who see the issue in its significance as a future problem, have attempted to have the Board of Regents reconsider its decision. One of the more recent attempts was that of President Eisenhower of Kansas State College, who made the request on behalf of his students; but he also failed.
Surely such well-educated persons as the Board members aren't prejudiced against the Neisi, and surely they realize that in the long run discrimination against any class of persons is always a detriment to the peace of a country. What, then, are the Board members waiting for? What are they afraid of?

Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT PENNEY
It took quite some time for the significance of the occasion to sink in last week when Peggy Smith, Alpha Chi, put out V-12 Phil Butler's Sigma Chi pin. Since the housemother was out that night, the candy was brought into brand new Alpha Chi president, Joan Powers, who was seated for the first time in her new capacity at the head of the freshman table. The card "Peggy and Phil" was read, and everyone was thinking how nice it was of Peggy and Phil to send candy to the new prexy. Light finally dawned when the flowers were brought in and the ceremony got under way.
Holiday for spring: Clarence Engle, pride of the ASC and Beta Theta Pi, is now at home leisurely enjoying his spring vacation. Engle, indignant on finding that many other schools were having spring holidays, took matters into his own hand and left for parts unknown a week ago. Teachers and classmates are anxiously awaiting his return.
Imagine Pi Phi Betty Bredouw's surprise when the phone rang yesterday and a strange male voice
said, "Betty, this is Bob Seggerman. I'm on my way through to Fort Riley, and I'd like to come by to see you." All the amazed girl could manage to say was, "But you can't be!"
However, he definitely could—and did! The story behind the story is that Betty received a letter about two weeks ago from a strange soldier at Scott Field, Ill., telling her that two different boys in two different places had told him to be sure to look up a certain blond bombshell named Betty Bredow in Lawrence, Kans., if he ever happened to be passing through.
The letter went on to say that he was almost certain that he was to go to Ft. Riley soon, and he would like to write—then come by to see her, if the opportunity presented itself. Opportunity definitely knocked, and the man of mystery did call just as Betty sat peacefully in the Pi Phi smoker re-reading his last letter. Bob left last night for Ft. Riley, but Betty's sisters are betting that he'll be back—and soon!
The way to a woman's heart: Dick Parcell, former KU student and Sigma Nu, spent some time in Lawrence during the course of a recent furlough to renew a high school acquaintance with Jean Richardson of Jolliffe Hall. Every night after Dick left, he would call Jean up for a good night chat, and every night
Court Upholds NLRB Ruling
Washington, (INS) — The supreme court ruled yesterday that the employers must bargain with a labor union designated as a bargaining agent even though the union has lost the majority, and even though the majority have asked the employer to bargain independently. The high court upheld an order of the National Labor Relations Board to the Medo photo supply corporation of New York, to bargain with the union.

Entertainment Group Gives Easter Show
Twenty-seven entertainers from the University gave a special Easter program for soldiers and their families and prisoners in the disciplinary barracks Sunday at Ft. Leavenworth.
The five units of entertainment included Norma Lutz, sophomore mezzo soprano soloist; Ted Lehmann, College senior who gave a humorous monologue; Prof. Waldemar Geltch, violinist; a violin ensemble including seven girls; and a chorus of 17 from the Women's Glee Club who were organized and directed by Margaret Hall, Fine Arts junior.
The first show, said Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association and organizer of the entertainment group, was given in the Ft. Leavenworth Service Club for enlisted men and their families.
"After dinner, two shows were given in the disciplinary barracks or audiences of 700 to 800 who seemed to appreciate the program," Mr. Ellsworth said.
Also accompanying the group were Mrs. Waldemar Geltch, former dean of women, and George Hedrick, secretary of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce who offered his automobile for transportation.
Dates, Like 4-4-44 Come Nine Times a Century
Mathematically inclined students jotting down the date last Tuesday in abbreviated fashion, 4-4-44, noted that such a computation occurs only nine times in a century. The next one, 5-5-55, will be in 11 years, one month and a day. They are hoping he war will be over by that time.

FBI Attests to Neisi Loyalty
These American citizens of Japanese descent are making good records for themselves at our neighboring universities.

If the FBI is willing to testify to the good citizenship of these Japanese-American students, what further proof does the Board want?

I will try to provide as much detail as possible in the image.
The image contains a grid of various facial expressions drawn in a simplistic, hand-drawn style. Each face is represented by a circular shape with a few lines and dots indicating features like eyes, mouths, and hair.
In the top row, there are 16 faces with different hairstyles, including long hair, short hair, curly hair, and spiky hair. In the middle row, there are 32 faces, each with unique facial features such as smiling, frowning, and sleeping. In the bottom row, there are 54 faces, each with a single line or dot.
Each face has a distinct expression, ranging from happy to angry, sad to surprised. The facial features are varied, including eyes, noses, cheeks, lips, and ears.
There are no text present in the image, only illustrations of facial expressions.
WE WERE going to make a survey. 100 interview. Then we had a better idea.
"Why bother all those busy people? Probably not more than one of them would know the answer, because it's something they take for granted. . . . Let's just print it here and save a lot of time!"
And here's the answer in one word:"Electricity."
So here's the question:
"What's the smallest item and BIGGEST bargain in most family budgets?"
Look at the last item in these recent cost-of-living figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (reprinted at right). Considering how many household jobs electricity does daily, that's a rather startling statistic.
Then remember that electricity is still sold at low prewar prices — remember that the average U. S. family gets about
(Of course, if you already knew all this, you're pretty smart. In fact, you're that one in a hundred!)

Jackson Austin Is Appointed Baseball Coach
Official announcement of the appointment of Jackson Austin as baseball coach at the University of Kansas was made yesterday by Karl Klooz, acting athletic director.
Austin joined the department of physical education last summer and has been a physical education instructor for the army program at the University. He coached the ASTP basketball team the latter part of the season just completed.
He was graduated at the Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia in 1930. While there he was active in sports, playing football and baseball. He has coached in various Kansas high schools.
The new coach announced today that baseball equipment would be checked out at the stadium between the hours of 3 and 5 p.m. today. Checking out will continue until the squad can get outdoors to practice. Arrangements may be made that will allow the baseball candidates to practice indoors until the weather allows outdoor sessions.
Herr Says Teachers Will Have Open Field
The teaching of the future is important, Floyd Herr, secretary of the state board of education, emphasized when he met in Fraser hall yesterday afternoon with practice teachers and the staff of the School of Education.
There is a considerable pressure on emergency certificates, Mr. Herr told future teachers. Formerly there were as many as ten applicants for one mathematics position where now there are only ten applicants for the entire state. In relation to need there is a greater per cent of home economics teachers available now than at any other time. There will be half as many teachers available as will be needed next year.
With the increase in demand for teachers there is also an increase in teacher salaries with many receiving a $150 a month level for their first year of teaching.

Don Pierce of the Topeka Daily Capital comes up with an interesting story on Cornelius Warmerdam, the celebrated West Coast vaulting sensation. Pierce gets his information from Nick Pappas, Chief Petty Officer from Southern California, who is stationed at Washburn in the Capital City. The Pappas story via Pierce says that Warmerdam never vaults from meet to meet during the season, but takes daily workouts on the track with any available sprinters. The vault champion likes the 100 and the 440 the best, and winds up the workout with a fling on the parallel bars. Warmerdam has lowered his time for the century since he began vaulting from 11 flat to 10.2, which is pretty good time.
Evidently the method has had a lot to do with Wamerdam's success. A lot of speed is required going down the runway to get over that 15-foot mark, and the former member of the San Francisco Club must have it as he has soared over 15 feet or better forty-two different times. His outdoor mark of 15 feet $7 \frac{3}{4}$ inches, and his indoor best of 15 feet $8 \frac{1}{2}$ inches, both still stand as world's records.

The weather played havoc with spring football practice plans yesterday, but Coach Henry Shenk held a chalk talk, diagramming several new plays and explaining more about the system he employs. Today's rain will probably drive the gridsters indoors again.

The rainy weather has also hurt track workouts this week. Lack of adequate outdoor work may hinder the hopes of Coach Ray Kanehl's men against the Sooners at Norman this Saturday. Coach John Jacobs has a large turnout of men every day and the coming meet at Owen field should be a good one.

Blackman Discusses Maladjusted in Army
Military offenders in the army are often normal persons who have undergone a maladjustment of some sort. Capt. Nathan Blackman, psychiatrist from the staff of the disciplinary barracks at Ft. Leavenworth, told members of the Psychology Club yesterday.
Captain Blackman is a graduate of the University of Paris, and was formerly associated with the Worcester State hospital, Worcester, Mass; the psychopathic ward of the Boston City hospital; and was a medical director at the Clarinda State hospital, in Iowa.
The army is run by the Articles of War. Certain rules in these articles apply to punishment. An army man must commit a serious offense to be convicted.
"It is the duty of the psychiatrist to help the offender retain his self-respect, poise, and confidence, and to see that he gets a brand new start in the army after he has been punished," added Captain Blackman.
Jap Thermometer Given Pharmacists By Former Graduate
A Japanese clinical thermometer, taken from a dead Japanese doctor, has been presented to the School of Pharmacy by James D. Greason, PhM 1-c.
The thermometer was given to Greason, a graduate of the School of Pharmacy in 1927, by Robert M. Tippins, RM 3-c, who found it on the body of a Japanese doctor, killed on a South Pacific island.
Flat instead of round as are American clinical thermometers, the Japanese instrument runs from 35 degrees Centigrade to 42 degrees Centigrade nistead of on a Fahrenheit scale from 94 to 108 degrees.
GET A DATE and SYNCOPATE
Men chosen for the specialized training will be selected by the plant from its departments. The students will continue to be plant employees, receiving approximately $180 a month, based on a 40-hour week with time and a half for overtime. The course will average 49 hours a week.
With a course described by Prof. Henry S. Stillwell of the aeronautical engineering department as "the most important war training program yet to be set up by the University," the engineering department will begin training men sent by the North American aircraft company in Kansas City next week: Monday 20 men will begin a schooling which will qualify them as aircraft detail designers.

According to present plans, the training beginning Monday will be for a 10-weeks period. In five weeks, at the half-way point of the original course, 20 more trainees will enter classes. In this way the University will be able to return 20 specialists to the company every five weeks until given further notice by North American.

"This new course will not only enable the Kansas Ctiy company to fill vacancies left in its engineering department," Professor Stillwell said, "but it will also allow for expansion of the company." Although the University at first will supply men to the KC plant only, Stillwell expressed the hope that later training might be expanded to include preparation of men for North American Aviation plants in California and Texas.
Men Will Train In Aircraft Work
Arrangements for housing the new trainees have not been completed as yet.

Gov. Schoeppel Will Confer With Colleges
Governor Andrew Schoeppel will confer with five college heads sometime next week, he announced Tuesday, in an effort to anticipate postwar educational needs, especially those of veterans.
This may be merely preliminary, he said, and the executives may be sent back to work out plans in greater detail.
The Governor said his main objective is to appoint a committee which will work with him in approaching problems of this type. The committee may also help allocate surplus war materials and equipment of various kind expected to be distributed among educational institutions after the war. There will be numerous school busses, adding machines, typewriters, and hundreds of small but important items which will be of no use to the government after the war; and the plan is to give them to the school systems of each state.
He pointed out that the Federal government has indicated intentions of opening facilities through which veterans may complete their education or take up specialized work.
At present, Mr. Schoeppel is not proposing to plan the training of veterans except in colleges and universities. He said, however, that "we know it is coming and I think we ought to go ahead instead of behind this."
The government may want to provide funds for state institutions which will aid in the training program.
"We don't know what will be offered," he explained, "but we ought to be studying our situation. That seems to me to be the sensible way to look at it and to make our plans so we can act promptly."
Senior Women to Be Guests of AAUW
Senior and graduate women of the University will be guests at a tea tomorrow afternoon at the home of Mrs. Deane W. Malott. The tea will be given by the American Association of University Women.
Committee members in charge of plans for the tea are Mrs. Malott, Miss Mary Larson, and Miss May Gardner, Mrs. H. D. LaFayette, chairman of the creative arts committee, has planned a program of instrumentla music.
Those who will assist with the tea are Mesdames E. F. Beth, Madison Coombs, Tell Ertl, Waldemar Geltch, Martin Denlinger, George H. Elder, L. D. Havenhill, Irving Hill, Charles D. Howe, Nelle Hopkins, Paul B. Lawson, R. R. Moore, Marvin Price, Rae Riggs, Jr., Ralph Ring, E. B. Stouffer, W. D. Thompson, Jr., and H. Turner.

Lt. Riederer Killed In Italian War Zone
Lt. Floyd Louis Riederer, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Riederer, formerly of Lawrence, has been killed in action in Italy, according to word received this week by his parents.
A bomber pilot on a B-25, Lieutenant Riederer had been in the service since last February. Before entering the service he was a student in the College of the University from 1938 to 1942, and would have graduated last June. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
Thousand See 'Happy Hour'
Approximately 1000 persons including Army and Navy personnel and civilians attended the Navy Happy Hour last night in Hoch auditorium. The show was under the direction of George Rhoades, former student of the University and at present a trainee at the V-12 unit in Kansas City, Mo.
A 20-piece Navy band from the primary training command of the Fairfax naval air station in Kansas City opened the program with a "jam session" of popular jive tunes. Imo Thomas of Kansas City, Mo., was the master of ceremonies.
A chorus of seven girls received acclaim from the men in three specialty tap and acrobatic routines Jean Roberts from the Hagen-Roberts studios in Kansas City, Mo. presented an acrobatic dance.
Especially pleasing to the audience was a song and dance number given by Maudell Hagen of the Hagen-Roberts studio, to "O'Brien's Gone Hawaiian," Leona Schraeder received spontaneous approval from the audience for her interpretations of "The Ranger's Song," "I'll Get By," and "I Didn't Sleep a Wink Last Night."
Another highlight of the program was a double baton routine by George Rhoades and his assistant, Patricia Mendon. Rhoades also presented his sensational fire baton exhibition.
Chief Petty Officer George O. Starkey, who has charge of the shows, greeted the newly arrived second platoon of company four and announced the promotions of Orville Hood and C. V. McGuigan from lieutenants junior grade to lieutenants senior grade.
Raymond O'Hara, pianist with the band, was featured in "Make Believe," and the vocalist, Bill Roberts, sang "Shoo Shoo Baby."
Omaha, Neb. (INS)—Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, furnished a surprise to politicians today by the strength he displayed in Nebraska's Republican presidential primary solely on the write-in ballot.
The audience joined in singing "God Bless America" with the entire cast in the finale.
Late returns from yesterday's balloting showed he ran second to former governor Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota. Wendell Willkie ran a poor third.

Coed Council Changes Rules On House Hours
The Women's Executive Council has passed two amendments to the house rules for all student residences authorized by the University, Jill Peck, president, has announced.
Men may be entertained at women's rooming houses after 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. No men may be entertained in the house after 8:00 p.m. on nights preceding vacations if there is to be one-half day of school the following day. This ruling is now embodied in Rule 6.
The house rules committee has called attention to the rule that quiet hours for any University house shall last from 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.
Late permissions for entertaining out-of-town guests may be obtained from the office of the adviser of women, according to Rule 17.
Rivers Still Rise; Verdigris Flows 10 Feet Over Banks
Kansas City, (INS)-Many areas in eastern Kansas still were under water today, and additional flood warnings were sent out as rivers continued to rise at downstream points.
Vern Alexander, federal hydrologist, reported the most badly flooded spot in Kansas today was Independence where the Verdigris was 10 feet out of its banks.
Bottomlands in the Wichita area were flooded by the little Arkansas; and the Marais des Cygnes, after reaching a crest at Ottawa overflowed two feet in La Cygnes. Ottawa's main streets still had a foot of water. The Neosho reached a crest at Burlington and has been subsiding at that point, but Oswego and Chanute reported the stream was more than five feet over flood stage.
Government Offers Meteorology Courses
For women who have completed at least two years of college, including a course in differential and integral calculus and one year of college physics, full tuition scholarships for professional training in meteorology are now being offered by the United States Weather Bureau, L. C. Woodruff, registrar, announced today.
Courses in this work will be organized at New York University on May 8 and also on July 7, at the University of Chicago on May 8, and at Masscahusetts Institute of Technology on July 3. All tuition fees for the 35-weeks course are paid by the government.

Craftons Use Motor Boat To Get Home
Professor Crafton and his wife started to Osawatomie last night despite the report of floods. He was advised by the Lyons club to leave his car on this side of the flood by the insane asylum and from the asylum to call the Lyons club end they would meet him. A truck was sent which could get them safely through the water.
Forced to cross the overflowing river in a motor boat in order to return from Osawatomie, Prof. Allen Crafton, speech department, encountered considerable difficulty trying to return after making a speech before the annual teacher's dinner given by the Lyons club of Osawatomie.
The trip after the dinner back to the car was not quite so easy as the river had by this time gone completely over the bridge. The Lyons club finally got a motor boat and Professor and Mrs. Crafton were carried upstream to the other shore where they could reach their car.
Arriving at the dinner safely, Professor Crafton gave his speech on Kansas which contained quite a long discourse on the climate of Kansas. He remarked that the residents had a new river since the last time he had been that way.

The present pro-Axis dictatorship is headed by General Farell of the Group of United Officers, a secret lodge composed of totalitarian-minded officers of the army, according to Dr. Efron. It is not an extremely nationalistic state as Summer Wells would lead one to believe, he said, but is controlled by pro-Facist and pro-Nazi groups.
The present government has destroyed civil freedom, removed judges, abolished the constitution and the legislative body, suppressed
"The United States is in an important political crisis with Argentina, the outcome of which will affect the whole South American continent," he asserted. "The good neighbor policy of the United States must be re-evaluated to coincide with a policy of global war against Nazism and Facism. The United Nations must not allow South America to become an oasis for a comeback of these parties 15 or 20 years from now."
The United States should not appease the present regime in Argentina by acklowledging their government, but neither should it intervene in the internal conflict within the country, was the opinion expressed by Dr. David Efron, Argentina economist, in his lecture in Fraser yesterday.

Peace Through Reconciliation Thomas' Theory
Reconciliation and mutual forgiveness among peoples must be combined with practical arrangements for postwar living to obtain a peace which is even likely to be lasting, Norman Thomas, several times Socialist candidate for president, told an audience of students and faculty members in Fraser theater this morning.
Mr. Thomas continued his discussion of postwar problems with an informal address following a luncheon in the University club dining room. He will speak again to students and faculty members at 3:30 this afternoon in the Kansas room of the Union building.
It was Norman Thomas, the preacher of 1911-30, who was a guest of the University's Student Forums Board. Although he is chairman of the Post War World Council and a prominent figure in the Socialist party, he officially represented neither organization in his appearances on the campus.
"The people of no nation are biologically unfit for peace," said Mr. Thomas. "No nation in the world is so bad that its people deserve the punishment which has been laid down in the minds of Americans for Japanese and Germans." Suggests World Federation
In appealing for "practical arrangements" for the postwar world Mr. Thomas condemned "unconditional surrender" as impossible, referred to the Atlantic Charter as the "Reader's Digest edition of Wilson's fourteen points" and stated that the peoples of the world are not yet ready for a world state He suggested, rather, a world federation, in which there will be general disarmament.

An Editorial
Texas Vote Problem Is Far From Solved By Court's Decision
The truth of Andrew Jackson's statement that "The Supreme Court has made its decision; now let it enforce it," seems no better exemplified than in the attitude Southerners are taking toward the recent Supreme Court decision giving Negroes the right to vote in Texas primarily. Since local attitudes will largely determine whether or not Negroes will vote, the Supreme Court decision was little more than oil poured upon the troubled waters.
Texas has successively attempted to bar Negroes from Democratic primaries by statute, by rule of the state executive committee of the Democratic party, and by resolution of the state convention of the Democratic party. Although the first two attempts were invalidated by the Supreme Court, the third was upheld on the ground that the act of the convention, as the highest authority of a volunteer organization, wasn't a state act. In its most recent decision, however, the Supreme Court declared the convention rule invalid by declaring primaries a part of the regular election system. White primary rules would be suffrage restrictions laid down or condoned by the state, it said.
Although the state legislature takes no action, Negroes aren't assured of immediate or complete participation in Democratic primaries. Seven states, including Texas, require the payment of a poll tax which many Negroes can't pay. The same number of states, of which Texas isn't one, demand that voters pass educational tests which some Negroes find difficult, and other states have a number of suffrage qualifications which indirectly bar Negroes from all elections. In areas known as the "Black Belt," a Negro can't safely approach the polls.
Psychologically, the time is ripe for admitting Negroes to the white primaries. Wartime emphasis on democratic principles will doubtless make people more liberal-minded in regard to allowing Negroes to vote in primary elections. The large attendance at a recent lecture given by a Negro poet in Austin and the results of a survey taken in a class at the University of Texas, which showed that approximately three-fourths of the students agreed with the Supreme Court decision, indicate that Southernners may be more sympathetic toward Negroes.
In any event, execution of the Supreme Court decision rests in the hands of local authorities.JJ.
On the other hand, the decision may create tension in many places and add to the resentment created by the crusades for equal rights for the Negro.

No Man Hath Greater Love: Lonnie Moreland and June Thompson, both of Corbin, were slightly teched with spring fever one recent day, and were idling along the campus twirling their coats on their arms. An EM leaned out of a window in West Ad and hopefully offered to come down and substitute his hands for the coats. In the accepted manner of KU coeds, Lonnie and June maintained a discreet silence and eyed straight ahead. Whereupon, the sailor lad plaintively admonished: "Well, you won't speak to me, at least buy war bonds!"

Valuable Specimen Received by Curator
The first skeleton of the mountain beaver has just been received by C. D. Bunker, curator of the Museum of Modern Vertebrates, and according to Claude W. Hibbard, curator of the Museum of Vertebrate Paleontology, it is a valuable specimen.
last weekend, Dolores Grossenbacher, Alpha O., had to change trains at Des Moines. Descending from the train in the midst of tall khaki and blue uniforms, Dolores was beguilingly helpless as she struggled with a huge bag. Finally she glimpsed a broad-shouldered, muscular specimen striding to her rescue — demurely, she smiled and thanked a gallant WAC.
Members of the cast and their parts are:
This is not the true beaver but a small rodent that lived along streams of the extreme northwestern United States. Its nearest living rel- United States. its nearest living relatives are found as fossils in the Tertiary deposits in the high plains, Mr. Hibbard said.
Here's to Bigger and Better Dolls:
Between trains in the K.C. Union station, Ruth Krechbiel and Sally Davis, Corbinites, entered the station drug store in search of a coke.
Seeing the two appear, an appreciative soldier at the fountain swung around and ejaculated fervently:
"Berlin can wait!"

Hastily backing away (why Kreb). Ruth collided with a table of baby dolls and found herself sitting on the floor with an armload of tiny tots. Naturally, she departed hastily, but our story doesn't end here, for the next day she encountered the same soldier in downtown K.C. Grinning, he recognized her and saluted her with "Hello, you great big beautiful doll!"

'All Quiet' As Students Study On Papers, Midsemester Quizzes
Society on the Hill may resume its snail's pace next week. But with midsemesters now coming at the end of the six weeks, earnest collegiates are brushing up on the cramming technique. Smoke and chatter groups have dwindled in number around the library, and bull sessions, coke dates and bridge games are about the only social activities planned this week.
Outside of the movie, "Peter the Great," to be shown tomorrow night, in Fraser theater, no evening activities have been scheduled. Social life will make a comeback Saturday night at Hoch auditorium at the informal "Spring Fling."

Five Matches Played In Fifth Round Games Of Volleyball League
Fifth round games in the two intramural volleyball leagues were played last night, with five matches being held, three in the A league and two in the B division. At the halfway mark in the schedule, the Faculty Engineers seem to have things all their own way in the A league, having just defeated their toughest competition, the V-12's. The Phi Psi's and Ship's Company top the B league, but the Phi Delts and Physical Education faculty are still very much in the race.
In last night's A league games, Phi Gamma Delta won from John Moore Co-op 15-10, 15-4; the Engineers won over Sigma Chi 15-7, 15-6; and the V-12's defeated the Blanks 15-3, 15-9. The Sig Alphs won from Kappa Alpha Psi on forfeit.
In the B league Delta Tau Delt nosed out TKE 4-15, 17-15, and 15-10, in the closest game of the season, and Phi Psi beat Battenfeld 15-3, 15-12. Triangle and Delta Upsilon forfeited to Phi Delt and Ship's Company respectively.

Thirteen Accept Bids To Attend Post War Meet
The first day's mail brought acceptance from thirty representatives of thirteen colleges in Kansas in response to the invitations to attend the postwar educational conference at the University April 17 and 18.
One out-of-state guest will be J. C. Knode, dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of New Mexico, who represents the United States Office of Education.
A refusal came from the head of the college department of the U.S. Office of Education at Washington, Dr.F.J.Kelly, one time dean of education and later dean of administration at Kansas. Dr.Kelly expressed a keen desire to return for the conference next week but was unable to arrange his schedule so as to permit the trip.
Dean Paul Lawson said this morning that persons interested in the discussions next Monday and Tuesday are welcome to attend the sessions, which will be held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
The universities of Wichita and Washburn, the state's two municipal universities, each will send five representatives to the conference.
Large Audience Hears Thomas
If, in war time, we can work cooperatively and efficiently, why can't we do the same in peace time economy? This was the question asked of students and faculty members by Norman Thomas, national figure in the Socialist party, in his final address at the University yesterday afternoon in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Brought to the University through the Student Forums Board, Mr. Thomas spoke three times yesterday to large audiences of students and faculty members. In his first address at 9:30 a.m. in Fraser theater he discussed the international postwar scene. He continued this discussion at a luncheon given in his honor at the University Clubroom in the Memorial Union building.
At the luncheon, Mr. Thomas, discussed the various plans which have

The students whose summaries will appear in the new edition are Dorothy M. Pollock, Earl Edgar Dawson, John P. Sheffield, Clifton B. Huff, Roy W. Browning, and Leonard P. Elliott.
8 Die in Infirmary Fire
Ex-Student Is Injured By Tornado
A scalp injury and a punctured hip with a number of bruises were the extent of the injuries of Evan R. Hollingsworth, College junior withdrawn, who was one of 15 hurt when the C.P.S. camp at Magnolia, Ark., was demolished by a tornado Tuesday.
"What I need now is clothing," wrote Hollingsworth to the Rev. Edwin F. Price, dean of the School of Religion. He told Mr. Price that he lost practically all of his belongings as the wind tore the former CCC camp to fragments and scattered it for miles.
Others in the camp were more seriously wounded and one young man may lose an arm.
Hollingsworth went to the camp before the end of the first semester. He was a member of the Methodist church choir.

Air War Begins New Offensive
(International News Service)
Heavy bombs from the Mediterranean theater also broke into southern reaches of the greater Reich blasting air fields and factories throughout Hungary.
The Allied aerial offensive against the European continent mounted to a new pitch of intensity today. Budapest, the Rhine-mainz area of Nazi Germany, industrial objectives of airports in Belgium and France, the so-called invasion coast at Pas de Calais, and ballbearing plants at Schweinfurt Augsburg, and German airforce installations at Lechfeld were hit.
In Rusisa the Soviet's grip on the Crimean penninsula was tightened with the recapture of Feodosiya, vital port and railway junction on the Black sea. The Soviet air force meanwhile assaulted the Lwow in Poland following yesterday's full-scale raid on the Rumanian Black seaport of Constanta.
Secretary of war Stimson in Washington confirmed the Allied air war entered a new phase the past week when 500 to 2,000 American planes from the British isles swept over Europe at one time to blast prize targets. Stimson also told of heavy blows against Japan's heavy air power in the Pacific, recalling that Allied airmen wiped out an entire concentration of 288 Japanese plane replacements at Hollandia in New Guinea.
From the southwest Pacific came word that the 25-year-old record held by Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker for destroying enemy planes in action was smashed with official recognition given to the 26-kill of Capt. Richard Bong of Poplar, Wis.
In seven brief minutes of combat over Hollandia, Bong down his 26 and 27 plane and made himself America's fighter ace number one.

Girl's Act Saves Life Of Woman
An outstanding rescue act was performed by Miss Betty Spooner, who was serving as a maid in the county infirmary, destroyed by fire las night. Miss Spooner, 17, a Lawrence girl, awoke in her room on the first floor, noticed the blaze, and found her way to third floor. She picked up Mrs. Peter Luzius, 85, a totally blind inmate of the home, and carried her down to safety. She then attempted to wake Peter Luzius, husband of the rescued woman, but was unable to arouse him. She was overcome with smoke and was forced to leave. Mr. Luzius, who was almost blind, was burned to death.
Miss Spooner, who is of slight build, said today that she didn't know where she got the strength to carry Mrs. Luzius and declares that she couldn't do it again.
Miss Spooner aided in pulling one man out of the basement, and in helping the other persons out of the house. Although homeless before, Miss Spooner has already been offered a home.
Miss Spooner had worked at the home for seven months.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Luzius came from Germany to Lawrence in 1885 and lived at 638 Mississippi street. They entered the home in November, 1943.

Still smoking at noon, the ruins of the $35,000 two-story infirmary building, were a mere shell of walls and a huge pile of bricks where the walls had caved in. The eight bodies were left in the ruins until the walls could be pulled down away from the wreckage to insure safety for the rescue workers. Heat was still rising from the building this afternoon.
Invalid Leaps To Safety
Reserved Hoskinson, invalid suffering from paralysis of the right side, is at the Lawrence Memorial hospital with two broken legs resulting from a leap from the window.
Mrs. Mildred B. Watson, Douglas county welfare director, is in charge of the 27 surviving inmates. Four are temporarily at the county jail, and the others are quartered in the basement of the Community building. Mrs. Watson expected that they will be with relatives, or in boarding homes by tonight. Three were transferred from state hospitals in Osawatomie and Topeka to the county home, and negotiations are being made to return them.
Started in Laundry Room
The fire started in the laundry rooms in the basement. The caretaker believes that an overloaded electric control to handle the automatic switches for the pumps caused the fire.
All of the occupants were in bed asleep and those who lost their lives suffocated when the top floor and roof caved in. George Hoskinson, caretaker; Miss Betty Spooner, dining room girl; Miss Maris Schott, cook; and Andrew Lee, occupant.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Grade Reports Due Early in Semester To Benefit Students
Grades for the mid-semester report are due in the College office Tuesday, at the end of about six weeks of the semester. The earlier check-up, used last semester also, is designed to help students.
An earlier talk with his adviser will enable the student to find out how he is doing, and will give him time to change his schedule if necessary. Dean Paul B. Lawson finds it harder to convince students that a lighter schedule is usually more expedient than too heavy a load.
Parents are eager to know of their children's progress, and complaints have come to the dean's attention from those who felt that an earlier notice would have prevented failure. With grade reports due after six weeks of class work, advisers can meet with students earlier, and notices can be sent to parents by the actual mid-semester time. A few days is always allowed to elapse between the advisers' conferences and the sending of the reports to let students have a chance to tell their parents themselves.
A sub-committee of the group working on the re-evaluation of the College program has recommended a checkup at the end of the fourth and eighth weeks, similar to the Army and Navy plans. This system may be tried in the College next year, Dean Lawson said.
Mid-semester exams will not power half the material in the course as they once did theoretically, but the trend is toward earlier and more efficient checkups. Again the College attempts to help the student, for, as Dean Lawson expresses it, "It is better to keep up than catch np."—R.T.
Jayhawkers Must Be Called for This Week

Open season: The Chancellor has rerouted his way home, and evening taxi service in Lilac lane has been discontinued—all because this is baseball season, and the girls of Watkins hall have gone out whole hog for the game. Their biggest stimulation is a challenge to play PT8 next Wednesday — if they get good enough, PT8, on its way to evening chow, criticizes and coaches the team. Casualties, in addition to the Chancellor and the taxi men: three balls and a bat, shot to pieces; Ann Stevens, thrice wounded in action; Jane Peterson, hit in the mouth.
DeVinci Fried Egg: The fine arts faculty is making serious inquiries about obtaining a stove and other cooking utensils to install in their esthetic domain. The idea is that art students almost always clamber up to their 8:30 classes sleepy-eyed and breakfastless. Then, during the first

Trackmen to Meet OU Saturday At Norman in First Outdoor Event
Outdoor track will open officially for the University Saturday when Coach Ray Kanehl enters his thin clads in a dual meet with Oklahoma at Norman. The squad will leave Lawrence Friday evening at 9:58 on the Santa Fe, with 15 players, Coach Kanehl and trainer Dean Nesmith included in the party.
Kansas has a schedule to participate in competition each weekend until May 20 except for April 22, the date of the Kansas high school meet at Lawrence. Then additional contests are being arranged by Coach Kanehil to take place after the Big Six outdoor meet at Lincoln May 20, which usually closes the season. Extension of the school term through the summer makes possible continued track competition.
Nine of the Crimson and Blue performers at Norman Saturday will be members of the Navy V-12 units and six are civilians. Coach Kanehl says that Navy transfers March 1 took most of his middle distance and distance talent so that he is short on men in those events. He would not venture a prophesy on the strength of the team as compared with Oklahoma. The Sooners placed fifth in the Big Six indoor meet last February 26 at Kansas City, which was not a true indication of their strength. Their numbers were decimated by illness and examinations. Kansas placed third in the meet, but their mile relay team lost that event to the spirited Sooners.
Coach Kanehl planned to enter the following contestants next Saturday:
Mile run: William Schell, Sophomore V-12, William Kans, Kans
Quarter Mile: Jim Richey, Sophomore, Atchison, Kans.; William Stewart, Sophomore V-12, Tacoma Wash.; and Lynn Leigh, Freshman V-12, Barley, Idaho.

Free enterprise is fostered by three principle groups, he maintained. These are the capitalists, the farmers, and the laborers, none of whom practice theoretical free enterprise.

Come to Hoch with the rest of the folk COME TO THE SPRING FLING
Sportorials By Charles Moffett
The sports world has produced many feuds of different kinds, but the most unusual one of all is being waged out in Colorado. Jack Carberry, sports editor of the Denver Post, and Ted Metzger, bureau chief for the Associated Press at Denver, are quibbling over "the rights and privileges of a girl sports writer." Carberry objects to Metzger's repeated efforts to send a girl sports writer into the press boxes of football stadiums and the press row at the Denver City auditorium, where the national A.A.U. basketball championship was staged March 19-25.
The bitter feud started last September when the football season opened. Metzger assigned Doris Blackmer to cover a game at the Denver University stadium. The young lady appeared with a press box ticket but was quickly ejected upon Carberry's demand. The Denver Post sports editor said the war was no excuse to change the tradition that the press box is exclusively for males, and the writers have the privilege of using their own kind of language in their own domain—and it's no language for a girl even if she purports to be a sports writer.
This caused a loud protest from Metzger to university officials but he was only to learn that control of the press box was in the hands of the Denver Sports Writers Association, of which Mr. Carberry was president. For a while, all was peaceful. But Metzger came out of his retreat on the night that the semi-finals of the national A.A.U. tourney was being played. He assigned Miss Marie Wilson to assist one of the AP reporters in covering the games. The young lady was admitted to the press row and began her work until Carberry discovered the gal in "no-woman's land." Whereupon Mr. Carberry kindly (?) told the girl the rule and she moved to the another part of the auditorium and another assistant was found for the AP writer.
Carberry later said that when he was covering a game, he didn't want to hear a lot of feminine chit-chat about fashions, new cooking recipes, and boy friends. If girl reporters were admitted, sports writers would start bringing their wives or sweethearts into the press boxes, and then no work could be done, said Carberry. He has even had the University of Colorado football officials print "No Women Admitted," and plans to do the same at Denver University.

The Western Adjustment Company reported the building a total loss. Insurance amounted to $24,800 for the building and $3,000 for the contents of the building. No property was saved from the burning building except a few clothes. Mrs. Hoskinson saved a few rugs and an upholstered chair which were outside the building before the fire started.
Miss Audhris Rife, dietician, set up a kitchen when notified at 4 a.m. by M. N. Penny, welfare board member, and served breakfast to all the surviving members of the home this morning at the Community building. Red Cross workers were called out to help serve and make the people comfortable with cots and blankets from the supply room. Most of them were in nightclothes and barefooted when rescued.
GRANADA
Body Skinner, sheriff, received the report of the fire at 2:10 a.m.; when the fire department reached the building the roof had caved in and the buildings were doomed. The firemen kept the fire from spreading to surrounding buildings.
Mr. Hoskinson was warned of the fire by one of the occupants in the basement. Mrs. Hoskinson ran a quarter of a mile to the Wheadon farm to turn in the report. The phone at the county farm was out of order.

Baseball Practice Held Yesterday; Thirty-one Attend
Baseball practice was held yesterday for the first time this spring under the direction of the coach, Jack Austin. The workout was made possible by the fine weather, ideal for baseball, Coach Austin said.

No definite schedule has been made yet, but authorities are arranging a tentative one to be confirmed later.

Soviets Try to Block Nazi's Crimean Flight
Soviet bombers and warships churned up the waters of Sevastopol's great harbor, with tons of bombs and explosives today in a furious offensive to crush an attempted Dunkirk evacuation of the Crimea by panic-stricken Nazis and Rumanian troops.
As the Red army raced toward Sevastopol in a drive that has engulfed four-fifths of the Crimea, the Soviet high command issued a stirring call to airmen and seamen of the Black sea fleet to annihilate the enemy.
In the southwest Pacific General MacArthur's airmen struck again at the Jap's big New Guinea base at Hollandia, raining 332 tons of high explosives and incendiaries on enemy installations. At least one Jap merchant ship was sunk and others badly damaged in the devastating assault.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Cooperatives Show Unique Contrast To Most Businesses
Students are living in co-operative houses at colleges all over the United States and co-op stores, oil refineries, canneries, and similar co-op enterprises are operating throughout the country, yet relatively few persons have any clear conception of the co-operative movement.
The movement is still young in America, for it has only about $2\frac{1}{2}$ million members as compared to more than a hundred million in other countries all over the world. The Scandinavian countries, widely known for their advanced democracy and high living standards, have been leaders in the movement.
Very simply, co-operatives are organizations for the benefit of the consumer. They are composed of groups of people working together to supply themselves with their daily needs. A community may pool its resources, set up its own grocery store or filling station or any other type of enterprise, buy from a wholesale house which may be cooperatively owned, too, and not only eliminate the cost of the middleman but become economically self-sufficient.
Favor Economic Democracy
It is strange that while we Americans consider political democracy of vital importance, we never have demanded much in the way of economic democracy. In the average store, for instance, does the consumer have any voice in determining the price charged? Doesn't he, rather, pay the price or go without? If w was in order to have a voice and a vote in their economic affairs that consumers organized co-operatives.
The unique characteristics of a cooperative are its equality of voting power and its rebate system. In contrast to most corporate organizations, the co-op allows only one vote to each person who buys stock in it, regardless of the amount of stock he owns. In this way, each member has one vote in determining the co-op's policy. Another direct contrast to common business practice is in the handling of profits. The co-op calls its profits "savings" and pays them back at the end of the year to members in proportion to their purchases.
Goal Is 15-20% of Business
In line with its other democratic practices, the co-operative has open membership and allows only a small limited rate of interest on all capital invested.
Quite naturally, the middleman does not favor co-operatives, for there is no room for him in this producer-to-consumer business. But contrary to some middlemen's belief, co-operatives have no wish to convert all enterprise into their form of business. Their intent is rather to have 15 to 20 per cent of the country's business co-operative, for at this per cent, they say, all businesses will be working in the consumer's interest.
Zimmerman Is Transferred To New Mexico Air Field
Capt. Leon W. Zimmerman, who received his doctor of medicine degree from the University in 1935, has been transferred to the army air field at Carlsbad, N. M. Captain Zimmerman, whose home is in Kansas City, was commissioned directly from civilian life in May, 1942.
Great Increase in Milk Cows
Milk cows in Kansas have increased more than 260 per cent since 1932. The value of the animals now exceeds $57 million annually.

Sidelites of the Jayhawker Queen Contest: Surrounded by 60 glamorous females, "Judge" Chief Troy Odem was in his element. After sitting in the corner for an hour, eyeing the beauties from afar, Chief suddenly made his debut in the center of the room with his little black book in hand. He then began the close-up scrutiny of the girls one by one, until his book was brim-full. We're wondering if telephone numbers were included.
The Call of the Fiend. When the habit's in your blood, the after-dinner smoke-defies tradition. It happened at Corbin. Dinner was over and when Mrs. Brook was being escorted from the dining room, Kaye Townsend could hold out no longer
Jane Owen has just been elected Number One Man on the Gamma Phi Sling Shot Squad. The other night when Jane was helping her sisters got dressed for a formal, she became intrigued of one of their fancy garters. Suddenly, PING! it shot off to the other end of the room. It landed directly on the eyeball of Betty Jo O'Neal. She wore dark glasses to the formal. Jane didn't stop with this, however. Later on she perfected a pea-shooter gadget out of a straw and a pin. This time, Joanne Johnson was the victim, but, not in the eye.

It seems that he deemed it his duty to prevent "Lassie(S)" coming home. When questioned, Jennison elaborated on his theory that Lassy died of exhaustion following her "appendicitis" operation. Likely story, Jennison.

Several nights before the death, Lassie and Jennison left the Phi Bete house for the more perilous life of the Physiology Dog House. Poor Lassie went through several operations a-la Jennison. Upon questioning, Jennison became quite confused in his explanations as to the reason for the operations.
Lassie, Come Home — The Phi Betes are in mourning. Lassie, their mascot, officially adopted by Jim Bridgens, died a premature death at Saturday. Various explanations of the death have been advanced by Dr-to-be Harry Jennison.

Next on his list was Anne Boltz, Corbin, Anne, too, became engaged — but not to Bill. The question of the hour is, "Who's Next?" You'd better hurry girls, or else Bill will develop a complex that girls don't appreciate other men until they've gone with him.

Baseball practice was held again last evening with about 30 men reporting to Coach Jack Austin. The pitchers warmed up their arms, and infield practice was carried on. A lengthy batting practice was also held. Coach Austin hopes to get his charges in shape as soon as possible so that they will be able to play games in the near future.

Sports over the world will be in for a great boom as soon as the war is over, was the prediction made by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen last night in his weekly radio broadcast. Especially will professional sports take on a large program. Instead of two professional football leagues, there will be possibly as many as 10 or 12, composed of teams all over the world. After World War I professional baseball was played even more extensively than before. After the present world conflict, Dr. Allen looks for professional basketball to make its debut, with regular leagues and schedules.
The Civil War, World War I and World War II have all been direct causes for the sports boom that followed them. The reason for this is that after each war there are so many men after jobs and so few jobs that the returning servicemen turn toward sports for their livelihood. In this way the ranks of the professional sports are increased both by personnel, enthusiasm, and interest.
Fireside Forum Meets at 4 p.m.
The Rev. C. Fosberg Hughes will discuss "The Land of Make Believe" in his sermon at the Plymouth Congregational church, at 11 a.m. The Fireside Forum will meet at 4 p.m. at the home of the Rev Mr. Hughes, 1100 Ohio, for a social hour and discussion.

Szigeti to Give Violin Concert Tonight in Hoch
Joseph Szigeti, Hungarian violinist, will present his recital at 8:20 this evening in Hoch auditorium as the major musical event of the Music Week festival and the closing event on the University Concert Course. Szigeti will be assisted by Andor Foldes at the piano.
500 School Children Participate
Five hundred Lawrence school children performed before an appreciative audience in the Public School Music Vespers yesterday afternoon in Hoch auditorium. Enthusiastic parents were not lacking in the group.
The "hit of the show" was the Pinckney School Primary Rhythm Band with their little toy-soldier-like hats, colorful tunes, and the primary age directors. The youth of the little performers added to the enjoyment of the audience.
high School Band Performed
"In Liliae Time March" (Engelman) was the most difficult and complicated of the pieces played by the primary group. However, they handled it well as also the fast, rhythmic "Gavotte" (Gossee) and "La Czarine" (Ganne). The youngsters were able to feel and re-act to the strong rhythm.
The program opened with a hymn medley played by the Liberty Memorial High School band. With such numbers as "Rock of Ages," the hymns were dedicated to the former L.M.H.S. boys who have lost their lives in this war. The black and red uniformed band also played the "United Nations Rhapsody" (David Bennett), with the Russian and Chinese musical characteristics especially distinguishable.
The fifth and sixth grade school chorus sang five numbers as the

Societies Accept Math Proposal
A recommendation that a full unit of mathematics be required for graduation from accredited Kansas high schools was adopted by the Kansas section of the Mathematical Association of America and the Kansas Association of Teachers of Mathematics, Saturday in Topeka. The two mathematical societies met in affiliation with the Kansas Academy of Science which held its 76th annual convention Saturday at the sight of its first meeting, Washburn Municipal University.
Fiddlers Luck' Follows Eminent Violinist
Summer before last, Sizgeti escaped from the plane crash that killed Carol Lombard, 14 army officers, and others. The violinist was asked to leave the plane an hour before the crash in order to make room for an army officer. The season before, his plane, coming from Mexico where he had been on concert tour, hit an air pocket and made an emergency landing. Though badly jarred, Sizgeti was not seriously hurt.
George Ulmer, assistant to the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was chairman of the committee which presented the recommendation to the joint meeting. He pointed out that it was not a wartime proposal, although the need for additional mathematics in

Numbering among his friends and backstage visitors such celebrities as Duke Ellington, Hildegarde, Benny Goodman, Princess Juliana, and the Duchess of Athlone, Joseph Szigeti, world-famous Hungarian violinist, will appear in recital at 8:20 p.m. tonight in Hoeh auditorium, as the final attraction on the University concert course, and one of the major events of the Music Week festival at the University.
Szigeti has had a full career, as pointed out in a recent article in Collier's magazine, the first ever devoted to a violinist in that weekly. They attributed the term "fiddler's luck" to the famous violinist. Escaped Plane Crash

Szigeti's name should be pronounced to rhyme with "hot diggety" but the American public insisted on having it rhyme with "spaghetti" so that is the way it is now. The violinist took his first cigarette from Queen Elizabeth of Belgium backing up the custom that anything offered by a queen is taken.
given first performances to many of the great names in music. Many years ago he insisted on recording the first Prokofeff violin concerto, which became one of the most popular albums issued. He has also fought for the American composers, Charles Ives and Ernest Bloch; his fellow Hungarian, Bela Bartok; and the Frenchman, Darius Milhaud.
How to Pronounce Szigeti
Receiving hundreds of letters from every part of America, Szigeti answers personally all of his correspondence, which includes an occasional letter from Thomas Mann, Edward G. Robinson, and Raymond Cram Swing. The violinist's interests take in such a variety as miniature furniture collections, a victory garden, and a wild bird aviary.
Co-op Delegates Exchange Ideas; Plan for Future
Realizing that decreased college enrollments and more money in students' pockets are two factors against cooperative housing, delegates to the campus co-op conference held here this weekend, resolved to keep their houses running as models for an expanded program after the war.
Delegates from the Universities of Missouri, Nebraska, Wichita, and Baker and representatives from the Consumer's Cooperative Association of North Kansas City spent the weekend exchanging ideas and making plans for the Central League of Campus Co-ops.
It was decided that next year's conference would be held at Baker University and two of the members of the Board of Director's were chosen from there. Besides Neil Heidrick and Doris Gabriel of Baker, Donald Koontz, of the John Moore Co-op; and Dorothy McKelvey of the University of Missouri were chosen for the Board of Directors. The Nebraska representative is still to be chosen.

Faculty Members Barely Meet Quota For Blue Cross Plan
With only 200 applications for membership in the Blue Cross being returned out of "the 532 sent out, Karl Klooz, secretary-treasurer of the Teachers and Employees Association of the University, stated that the University faculty barely met the required quota of one-third of its members necessary for the group to participate in this group hospitalization insurance plan.
As the applications must be sent in to the Kansas Hospital Service Association in Topeka by April 20, it will be impossible for any other faculty members to join the organization at the present time. The deadline for joining was last Saturday. If the state board accepts the University's applications, the insurance will go into effect on May 1, Mr. Klooz stated.
This Blue Cross plan, he explained, is a non-profit organization, which entitles members to 30 days of hospitalization at a minimum cost, routine laboratory examinations, medications, drugs, and dressing, use of operating and delivery room, anesthetic material, and nursing care all free of charge. For these benefits members pay 65 cents a month if they are single, or $1.30 a month per family regardless of size.

John Bunn, dean of men at Stanford University, Stanford, Calif., a graduate of the School of Engineering in 1921, visited the University today on his way back to California from Chicago where he has been attending a convention of men's advisers.
At the University, in addition to being a member of a number of honorary engineering societies and a letterman, Dean Bum was president of the class of 1921.
He will leave Lawrence tomorrow for California.
A few hundred AST reserve trainees will be sent to the University on or about July I, to enroll in the University ASTRP training program, according to Lt. Col. Fred H. Pumphrey, member of the war department curricula board of the AST program, Washington, D. C.
Colonel Pumphrey was on the campus Thursday and Friday, conferring with Chancellor Deane W. Malott, heads of the various departments, and Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorrish, commandant of the University AST Units. He also attended several of the ASTP, ASTRP, and medical AST classes and interviewed many of the trainees.
"Colonel Pumphrey expressed that he was well satisfied with the University program as it has been and is now being conducted," said Colonel McMorris. "He was particularly impressed with the training facilities of the new Military Science building and the barracks facilities of Lindley hall."
A plan to establish a research institution to serve industry in this section of the country was proposed before a group of 130 civic leaders of the Kansas City territory at a luncheon in Kansas City Saturday.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Too Much Emphasis On Money Backing For Social Prestige
Money has too much power at the University, it stands for too much among students.
"Money" means—plenty to spend for what one wants when one wants it, financial resources which are not at all severely limited, a bank account which does not have to be watched closely.
Monetary backing lends social prestige during college days and in the professional life the graduate takes up. That the aspirant's parents have money is a primary requisite for entrance into a fraternity or sorority, the very seat of the money-means-power dogma.
The "Greeks" investigate the background of the prospective pledge to learn what town he is from, what kind of home he comes from, and who his father is and what he does. All of these bits of information facilitate a generalization as to how the rushee's family stands financially.
An ideal solution to the existing problem would be to place all students on the same social plane. The practical application of this principle would be the system already used in many schools: university dormitories in which all students live—hotel-style, for those who wanted it, cooperatives for students who need an economical rooming place.
In a system of this type, there would be no suppression of students having wealth, but more opportunity to attain social prestige would be offered for students having intelligence and ability and no money.

Woodruff Will Attend Convention
Laurence Woodruff, registrar, will leave next week for Chicago where he will attend the annual meeting of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars which is to be held in the Stevens Hotel April 25, 26, and 27.

Former Missionary Will Enroll in July
To discourage sleeping in class. Chem. Prof. O. W. Davidson has introduced a technique all his own—he throws chalk. Students report that with practice he's improving—and with more hits than misses, sleeping conditions are becoming mighty unfavorable.
A former missionary to India and his daughter will be in the enrollment lines at the University July 1. They are Leslie G. Templin, missionary, and his daughter, Elizabeth, distantly related to the late Dean Olin Templin of the University.
Immediately before coming to Lawrence for the summer session, the Templins will be in Topeka.
Elizabeth has been attending classes at Woodstock School, Mussoorie, India. Dean Paul B. Lawson attended Woodstock School until transferred to another school for boys across the valley.
By Delores SULZMAN
Both Mr. and Mrs. Templin are native Kansans. Mrs. Templin came originally from Colby. Mr. Templin is from Salina.
Kansas, Arsenal of Democracy
Kansas is an arsenal of democracy for World War II, having 16 great training units, 3 ordance works, 6 aircraft factories, a 1,750-bed army general hospital, 3 aviation gas refineries, 2 helium plants, a huge air corps supply depot, an army staff school, and has absorbed $3 billion in war contracts since 1940.
With the women: We have Cleo Norris, Ricker hall freshman from Mullinville, who was completely carried away last weekend while placing a long distance call to her boy-friend, home on furlough. The cause of her fainting is a little indefinite—whether it was the date who just brought her home or some special remote control swoop power of the lad in Mullinville.

John G. Cygiel, a graduate from the School of Pharmacy in 1939, visited friends at the University last week before his induction into the army.
Cygiel has been in civil service work at Jamaica, Iceland and Greenland. He was on a ship en route to Iceland when it was torpedoed, and he was forced to take to life boats with the rest of the passengers.
Cygiel's present home is in Kansas City.

Kansas Loses Close Dual Meet To O.U. Sooners
The Kansas track team lost a duet meet Saturday to the Oklahoma Sooners by the close score of $60\%$ to $70\%$. Each team won seven firsts and ran a dead heat in the final mile relay.
High point man of the meet was Charley Heard, Oklahoma, who scored 14 points in four races. Frank Stannard, Kansas's Big Six indoor champion in the high hurdles, had tough luck in the lows, when he dragged a foot through the final barrier causing him to lose after leading all the way.
Tom Schofield, another Kansas Big Six indoor champion, made the best mark of the day, as he was far ahead of the field in his favorite event, the high jump. Schofield made a leap of 6 feet, $4\%$ inches in a high wind to capture first place.
Kansas proved too strong for the Sooners in the field events, winning first place in five out of six events, and placed second in three others. The summary:

Mid-semester Grades Must Be In Tomorrow
Grades of all College students who are doing "D" or "F" or incomplete work must be reported to the College office by Tuesday, April 18. Paul B. Lawson, dean, announced.
The grades are being turned in earlier than usual because of the shortened semester, but primarily so that the student advisers can inform students of their status as soon as possible. A later mid-semester grade is usually too late to help the student who is having difficulty with his work, Dean Lawson said.
Dean Lawson also announced that the April meeting of the faculty has been postponed until May 9, the second Tuesday in May.

The conference ended on Sunday morning with a business meeting and a closing address by Prof. Hilden Gibson, president of the Student Housing Association at the University.
Because the campus co-ops are student owned and operated the conferences held a panel discussion Saturday morning at which a representative from each co-op gave an explanation of the administration and government of his house. This was followed by a discussion of the problems of the different campus co-ops.
Dean Henry Werner, adviser of men, spoke to the delegates on the "Future of Campus Co-ops" Saturday afternoon, and his address was followed by a round table on "Reconstruction Through Co-ops" in which Prof. Lealand Prichard., of the economics department, Dr. Homer Jack, pastor of the Uitarian church, and Merlin Miller of CCA in North Kansas City discussed the international aspect of co-operatives.

Russian forces pressed into the suburbs of Sevastopol and planted the Red flag at the extreme southern tip of the peninsula with the seizure of Yalta and scores of other towns fringing Sevastopol. Russian artillery, naval guns and bombing planes maintained their unceasing pressure against remnants of once the German garrisons driving desperately to stage a "Dunkirk" evacuation from the port.
A hint that German forces may be preparing to evacuate Rome and thereby change overnight the whole stalemated Allied campaign in Italy came from the Nazi-controlled radio in the Eternal City today and opened up a wide field of speculation.
Obviously this unexplained order did not leak out of the carefully guarded German communications system. On the contrary it was broadcast on readily heard wave lengths for some definite Nazi propaganda purpose.
The Rome broadcast said: "Departures for the north are going to take place. Soldiers and all who wish to leave Rome must apply immediately for information and instructions at the municipal offices on the Piazza della Sedra."

Niles to Present Lecture-Recital At 8 Tonight
John Jacob Niles, nationally recognized authority on American folk songs and ballads, will present a lecture - recital at 8 o'clock this evening in Fraser theater. Mr. Niles is being presented as part of the University Music Week festival.
An unusual feature of this recital will be the use by Mr. Niles of four dulcimers as accompaniment to the various songs on the program. The advantage of the duleimer is that it will produce quarter and eighth-tone notes that do not exist on the piano. Each of the four dulcimers is tuned to a single key.
Mr. Niles will sing 15 love songs, carols, folk songs and ballads. Many of them have been recorded, and several different volumes of folk songs arranged by Mr. Niles have been published. At the University Christian Vespers in 1942, the A Cappella Choir sang what is probably the best known of all the songs collected by the lecture-recitalist, "I Wonder as I Wander."
The recital, sponsored by the convocations committee of the University, is open to the public without admission.
Fifty V-12's Screened For Future Training
Approximately 50 V-12 trainees in their second term are being "screened" this week, according to Lt. C. A. Michelman, assistant command officer of the V-12 program. "Screening" is the process by which trainees are selected for advanced specialties.
The bases for this selection are the results of screening tests taken previously this semester, academic records, and a composite rating of officer-like qualities made from three independent estimates. This information will be sent to the Bureau of Naval Personnel in Washington, D.C., late in April.
"The assignments, which are made in Washington, are dependent on all of these factors and on the needs of the Navy," said Lt. Michelman. "The trainees are given the opportunity to express three preferences as to the advanced training they desire."
Herbert Finney Earns Wings, Army Commission
Herbert S. Finney of Topeka has been commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army air corps and has received his wings after successfully completing the Army air corps advanced flying school training at Williams Field in Chandler, Arizona.
Lt. Finney was a student in the School of Engineering last year before entering the service.
William L. Becker, a student from 1939 to 1941, is now enrolled as an aviation cadet in the pre-flight school at Maxwell Field in Alabama, an installation of the Army air forces training command. Here he will receive nine weeks of intensive military, physical and academic training.

Foster Will Present Recital Tomorrow
Sidney Foster, young concert pianist, will present the fourth in a series of Music Week concerts when he appears in Fraser theater at 8 pm. tomorrow.
Mr. Foster, who is being sponsored by the Young American Artists organization, has played in New York City as well as many other large cities, and has presented recitals at several of the country's leading universities while on tour.
The program will be open to the public.
Teachers Will Have English Conference At KU Next Year
The annual conference of Kansas College Teachers of English will meet at the University next year, the department of English announced today.
Focal points of discussion at the conference held at the Municipal University of Wichita on Friday and Saturday were the effect of the war upon the college English program and the correlation of high school and college English. Prof. John W. Ashton, chairman of the department of English, and Mrs. Robert Calderwood, English instructor, participated in the program.
Other members of the English department attending the conference were Prof. John E. Hankins, Prof. E.M. Hopkins, and Asst. Prof. John B. Virtue.

A veteran of 36 years on the University faculty, Alfred Higgins Sluss died last night at 11:30 at his home at 827 Mississippi street. He had been ill about four months.
Professor Sluss came to the University in 1908 as assistant professor of mechanical engineering, advanced to the rank of associate professor in 1920, and a full professorship in 1923. He had charge of Fowler Shops from the early 1920's to 1941.
Since 1942, Professor Sluss had been working nearly 16 hours a day on duty with the Naval Training School at the University, according to J. O. Jones, acting dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
"Professor Sluss was a valuable man in the School of Engineering and Architecture," said Professor Jones this morning. "He held the respect and affection of all the men in his department. Wherever I go the KU engineers always ask about him. His conscientious service and his faithful attitude have been a strong factor in the building of the school."
Mr. Sluss was born Sept. 29, 1877. He leaves Mrs. Sluss, a son, Alonzo, who is a graduate of the University Engineering School in 1927 and is now connected with a ventilating engineering firm in Kansas City, and a daughter, Mira Jean, a junior in the College of Liberal Arts at the University.
Wife and Son Survive
Many faculty and former students outside the School of Engineering will recall the musical work of Professor Sluss and others in the Engineering faculty. Their string quartette entertained many meetings in former years.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. at the Methodist church. The Rev. O. E. Allison will have charge.

Approximately 1200 faculty members, students, and other music lovers of the community ventured out into the misty weather last night in attending the concert presented by Joseph Szigeti, noted Hungarian violinist, in Hoch auditorium. The program was the final concert of the University concert course and the major event of the Music Week festival. Szigeti, playing in his usual delightful manner, received enthusiastic acclaim from an appreciative audience. The fine accompaniment of his pianist, Andor Foldes, created an excellent background for Szigeti's eloquent artistry.
Szigeti Pleases 1200 in Hoch
Following intermission, Szigeti played "Improvisation" (Kabalevsky), "Polka" from "The Golden Age" (Shostaovich-Grunes), "Snow" (Lie Ziegetti), and a Russian dance from "Petrousha" (Stravinsky-Dushkin).
An unusually enthusiastic audience applauded Sigeti to encore four times. He played "Hungarian Dance" (Dorak-Kreisler), "Theme with Variations" (Tartini-Kreisler), "Girl with Flaxen Hair" (Debussy), and Caprice No. 24 in A Minor" (Paganini).
Sizigeti opened the program with his own concert version of "Concerto in D Minor" (Tartini). "Charconne" (Bach), for violin alone, followed the concerto. "Sonata in A Major" (Franck), in four movements, climaxed the first part of the brilliant performance.
Allies Bomb Berlin; Crimean Fury Rises
The aerial might of America was visited again today on Berlin by squadrons of fortresses and liberator bombers which hammered military targets in the Reich capital and blasted other objectives deep inside Germany. Unofficial estimates placed the total bomber strength at between 750 and 1000 craft and even greater number of fighters was believed to have accomplished the heavy weight bombers.

The battle by the Red army to regain Sevastopol mounted in fury. German and Rumanian units in the Crimean naval base were subjected to continued artillery and aerial bombardment and appeared to be preparing a last ditch defense by erecting barricades in the streets.
Classifying problems of the war and those arising immediately out of it as being federal responsibilities. Dr. Frederic Guild, director of the Research Bureau of the Kansas Legislative Council, addressed an audience including 50 delegates from the 22 colleges and junior colleges which were represented at the Postwar Planning Conference held in the Union building here yesterday.
After round table discussions today based on problems laid out by group leaders, representatives will meet-at 7:30 tonight for a second general session. Discussion-group reports will be presented by a summarizing committee from each group at this time, and these will be followed by discussions of the reports.
To Lead Today's Discussion
Discussion leaders appearing on today's program include President Bryan Stoffer, Washburn; Dean R. W. Babcock, Kansas State; Dean A. G. Sellen, Washburn; Dean J. F. Wellemeyer, Kansas City; Kan. Junior College; Dean B. A. Gessner, Baker; Mr. Fred Montgomery, KU; Mr. W. T. Markham, State Board of Vocational Education; Dr. Laurence Woodruff, KU; Pres. Rees Hughes, Pittsburg K.S.T.C.; and Dean Gilbert Ulmer, KU.
Dr. Guild, in outlining the supplementary job of the state, proposed that an information and guidance service for Kansas citizens returning from military service be set up to facilitate the exercising of the rights extended to them by federal laws. According to Dr. Guild, the settlement of returning workers from war plants should be considered largely a federal problem also.
Warning against state and local governments competing with private enterprise for materials and man-power after the war, this Kansas research expert also stated that a better system of financing the eight thousand odd school districts in the state must be worked out. Farm Problems Described
"In the severity of the postwar demobilization," he said, "Kansas is ranked 10th among the states if we combine those involved in both military and industrial demobilization. In other words, the employment problem will amount to 37.6 per cent of the 1940 employment."

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
British, Americans Learn Hard Lessons On Italian Front
The stalemate on the Italian front is the source of some discontent among average citizens who like to place bets on the date of the armistice. The discontent is quite natural after the rapid progress which the Allied forces made through Sicily.
We evidently believed that the Italian campaign would progress at the same rate as the Sicilian one had. Our wishful thinking, however, led us to minimize the strength and strategy of the German army. At the Salerno landing there was only one German division against us and a quick advance northward to the German defense at the Po river seemed assured.
Germans Enjoy Advantage
Hitler decided to take full advantage of his defensive position, however, and 30 German divisions were sent to Italy and are still there now. His strategy was excellent, for southern Italy is rough and hilly and an offensive campaign is doubly difficult in such a terrain. The Allies have fewer than 30 divisions in Italy, and mountainous warfare calls for attacking forces of three to four times the strength of the defending forces.
Quite naturally, Hitler would have enjoyed luring the Allies into sending 90 divisions to Italy and making the second front. Allied generals refused to fall into the trap and now they plan a second front which will have much greater effect on Germany.
Learned Quality of Fighting
By the Italian campaign we not only gained the use of Foggia for air attacks and are holding 30 German divisions in Italy, but there, also, we learned the quality of fighting to be expected on the second front.
Although the Red Army consistently pushes the German army back, even the Russians must fight with their entire strength. The Anglo-American forces, whose experience with fighting the Germans has not been so long nor so varied as the Russians, are taking some hard lessons which will prove useful. The American public might do well to learn from the campaign that dreams of an early peace are fantastic.
Graduate Nurse Weds a Lieutenant
Miss Mary Alice Matchette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul L. Matchette of Kansas City, Mo., and Lt. George Davis Schumacher, son of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Schumacher of Lyons, were married, April 8, in a double-ring ceremony which took place in the South chapel at Camp Murphy, Fla.
The bride received her degree in nursing last semester from the University of Kansas hospitals. She attended Mills College and was graduated from Kansas State College where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
Lieutenant Schumacher also was graduated from Kansas State College, and is a member of Sigma Nu fraternity.

Intellectual Pup—H. B. Chubb' of the political science department instituted a precedent last week. It is now firmly established that the U.S. favors maintenance of a liberal policy toward canine residents. American Government, 1:30, was all settled for an hour's work Thursday, when a rather sad-looking representative of the Race walked in and proceeded to make himself at home. For a moment Professor Chubb and the dog looked at each formidably; then the pup settled himself on the front row in preparation for the lecture. And there he sat for the entire hour. We hope his report to our Good Neighbors is a favorable one.

Delta Gamma began rigid training for the baseball season this weekend—with dire consequences. First Nita Smith, in an all-out effort for first base, clipped the legs of Rosemary Ryan, baseman, to inscribe the first two names on the casualty list. Next, Betty Leibrand jumped a hedge, and the result was overwhelming. A half dozen others were hit by fly balls before the girls called it a day. Authoritative sources predict DG will have a good team this year, if there is anyone left to play on it.

Capt. Bill Bevin Earns DFC and Citation
Capt. William Bevin, who received his bachelor of science degree in education from the University in 1941, was on the campus Thursday for a brief visit. He was home on leave from overseas duty with the Army Air Corps.
The announcement was made after dinner last Friday at the Kappa Alpha Theta chapter house. Miss Sullivan wore an orchid corsage. Mrs. James R. Lee, who assisted with the pinning received a corsage of gardenias. Mrs. Arthur H. Little, housemother, who made the announcement wore a corsage of gardenias. Virginia Hagen and Patty Armel, friends of Miss Sullivan's, also received gardenia corsages.
While attending the University, Captain Bevin participated in many track meets and became affiliated with Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. He was accompanied to Lawrence by his wife, the former Shirley Tholen of Leavenworth, whose portrait is hung in the alumni office. Captain Bevin is now awaiting further assignment.

The Big Question—Sigma Chi's Don Juan has finally been trapped. Coincidence scored one over the weekend, when Bud Eisenhower's interests in Theta and Pi Phi journeyed to their respective homes in the same bus. We're not sure whether the question is "Did they compare Bud's line?" or "Does Bud use two equally effective campaign techniques?" but it must have been an interesting ride, either way.

"GIRLS ON PROBATION"
Sportorials By Charles Moffett
The 1944 baseball season will get under way today in what may prove the most hectic campaign ever played by the majors and minors. Most of the experts are picking the St. Louis Cardinals to win their third straight national league pennant and the New York Yankees to repeat again in the American. The Cards have lost fewer regulars than any other major league club and expect to have a fine pitching staff headed by Mort Cooper. The Yanks' losses have been heavy, but the general opinion seems to be that Manager Joe McCarthy will mold his available material into a loop champion.

One of the busiest places on the campus about 4:30 every afternoon during the week is the stadium, and one of the busiest men is the University trainer, Dean Nesmith. The east side of the stadium is where both the spring footballers and the varsity track team dress and keep their equipment. Over on the west side the baseball team makes its headquarters. Dean is trainer for all three of these sports and treats the athletic injuries of the athletes of all three of them.
The Oklahoma Sooners ended five weeks of spring football practice last week. Derald Lebow, OU's all big-six tailback, sparked the spring drills and is expected to be a strong coog in Coach Luster's football machine of next fall.
Iowa State has three baseball teams on the campus at Ames. The Iowa State Cyclones, and The Iowa State ASTP unit team met Saturday in their first game. The other is a newly organized Naval Training School team and had 75 men report for its first practice.

Niles Folk Lore Pleases Crowds
Demonstrative of the popularity of folk music today as an art. Fraser theater was packed to a standing room only" capacity last night as John Jacob Niles, nationally recognized authority on American folk music, presented a recital of American love songs, carols, folk tales, and ballads. The recital was a presentation of the University Music Week festival.
Later in the evening KFKU rebroadcast a part of Mr. Niles's recital in connection with its half hour programs given as Music Week presentations this week.
The dulcimers upon which Mr. Niles accompanied his singing received the name because he "didn't have any other name for it." Three instruments were needed for the evening's performance because of the change of keys for the various songs.
Explaining that most of the American folk songs are inherited from an Anglo-Saxon ancestry, Mr. Niles declared that translations are not satisfactory in folk music. Most of which he sang to him from his father, and the rest from the far reaches of the southern Appalachian mountains.
Explaining that folk lore isn't all music, Mr. Niles related the old folk

New Walks To Library Shortcuts
Employees of the building and grounds department are tearing up the sidwalk in front of the library that previously followed along the east side of the old anatomy building. A new diagonal walk will be constructed to replace the old one.
Since the building burned last spring, students have insisted on "jaywalking" across the lawn to save a few extra steps. The practice began last winter when ice and snow covered the ground. Although no damage to the grass was caused at that time, busy students hurrying between classes continued to cut across this spring resulting in an unusually path.
The sidewalk parallel to the library is to be straightened to extend to Mississippi street across from Fowler shops. The old sidewalk was originally made to follow along the south side of the Anatomy building.

Forums Board Acts To Promote Interest In World Affairs
Acting on the authority granted it in 1937 by the Women's Self Governing Association and the Men's Student Council to sponsor lectures, debates, political unions, or other means of public discussion and education which would facilitate the examination of world affairs and local and general social problems, the Forums board has become one of the more active organizations on the campus.
With a membership of six students selected from representatives of the All Student Council and campus discussion groups, the board is qualified to determine the best method to employ in carrying out the objectives outlined in the 1937 charter.
One of the first programs launched this year by Forums board was free movies. Motion pictures will be shown on alternate Thursday nights for the rest of the semester. Since the movies were selected for their educational as well as entertainment value, they have supplemented classroom work in several courses.
Unable to present a series of lectures by prominent men because of wartime conditions. Forums board was able to bring Norman Thomas, former Socialist candidate for president, to the University recently for three speeches.
Plans to sponsor panel discussions were abandoned when lack of student body interest made them inadvisable. Radio programs, which had been an important part of the Forums board's activities, were discontinued this year, also.
In the face of abnormal conditions, Forums board has done a remarkable job of educating the student body in world, national, and local affairs and problems. Capacity crowds at Forums board programs indicate that students appreciate the advantages offered them by the organization and are willing to cooperate with the group.
The Forums board has potentialities as an important educating influence on the campus. Its program should be expanded—J.J.
Chemistry Assistant Leaves For Home and Draft Orders

Just Never Judge a Woman: Gamma Phi pledges took vicious satisfaction in a stunt night they put on for the amusement of their worthy actives. At the conclusion of one number, it was announced that the next number had just started in some far corner of the house, and when an announcement is repeated from some 20 pledges it can be rather wearing on the constitution. To add to the actives discomfort, their "model pledge," Letty Gibbs, "one of our sweetest, most lovable pledges," portrayed a drunken you know what.

Oh. Lovely Faith!: In Money and Banking class, Professor Pritchard was attempting to impart the advantages of credit to his doubting students. On the following definition Professor Pritchard rested his case: "Credit is just plain faith, like faith at the altar, faith for things you hope to be and for sights unseen."
**
Fetchingly attired in tux coats, bow ties, cords, and saddles, the Phi Psis brought out the traditional feudin' hatchet and proceeded over to the Theta house to serve dinner Friday night. The fellows did up the annual occasion with true Psi technique.
Early in the evening, Gene Kittle covered himself with glory when he courageously and coolly killed a huge bull snake (now how did it get there!) bare-handed—with only a gun. Later on, this same fine lad
avenged the honor of old Phi Psi by firing pointblank at Barbara Barber, who sacrilegiously led the Thetas in singing the Beta lullaby.
During a lull Earle Crawford, dashing man about campus, loudly called for a certain girl to stand up. Timidly, a rushee rose to her feet, whereupon the great Crawford muttered "Just wanted to see what you looked like before we started our date."
Climax of the evening came when R. J. Atkinson carried in the chocolates and conducted his own pinning ritual with Betty June Sullivan.

War Casualty: George Downing, V-12 who is famous for his jivin' feet, startled friends and admirers at the recent Gamma Phi formal by dancing according to Emily. It finally came to light that poor old George had just spent a day in the awkward squad which, as every good sailor knows, is a fiendish punishment including callisthenics, marching, etc. But came the last number of the evening and George was prevailed upon to give an exhibition number to put all would-be jitterbugs to shame. The latest bulletin hopefully promises that Downing will recover the use of his limbs.

"GIRLS ON PROBATION"
Sportorials By Charles Moffett
Everything indicates that the 40th Annual Interscholastic Track and Field Meet to be held here this Saturday will be a success with the entry field just as strong as ever. All of the fine track scholars from all over the state, including Wichita East, who won the Class A title last year, will be on hand. Director of the Relays this year is varsity track coach Ray Kanehl, who a year ago was the track coach of the East Aces when they won by a large margin over the class A field.
East comes here with a good record this year also, although they were beaten by their city rivals, Wichita North, at the Anthony relays last week, after having headed the field at Sterling. Another Class A team that has showed signs of power is the Topeka Trojan squad. The Capital City boys have won several dual meets by large scores and expect to go well Saturday.
A strong contender for the Class B title will be Clearwater, winners of the Anthony Relays last week. Haven also has gone well in meets this spring and will be on hand as well as several other fine schools.
If the weather man will only give the Relays a break some new marks may be set in various events. The records made here are some of the best made all season and if conditions are favorable several new records may be chalked up before the day is over.
The game on the 12-foot baskets to be played Friday night in Robinson gym between the V-12 team and the K. U. Varsity should prove very interesting. Dr. Allen is staging the game for research purposes and will note the changes caused by the new height. Track coaches and their pupils here for the relays will be guests at the feature game, and then will go to the Eldridge hotel for more entertainment and movies of football games of the '43 season.
In Hawaii the honey bees work the year round because there is no winter.

Volleyball Play Led By Faculty Engineers
In the A league, the Faculty Engineers defeated the Phi Gam's 15-7, 15-2. John Moore Co-op won through a forfeit over Kappa Alpha Psi, and the Blanks also won by forfeit from Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Three games were played in the B league with the Phi Delts winning from the Tekes 15-10, 15-2; Ship's Company beating Delta Tau Delta 15-8, 15-9; and Physical Education Faculty trimming Battenfeld. Delta Upson forfeited to Phi Psi.

Jap Isle of We Left in Ruins; War to Indies
(International News Service)
One of Japan's key bases in the Netherland's East Indies was believed left in ruins today by an audacious naval and air thrust against the enemy held garrison island of We, just across a narrow channel from Sumatra the key to Singapore.
Bombing planes operating from British aircraft carriers that swept across the Indian ocean through mine fields and submarine concentrations delivered paralyzing blows to enemy air ports at Sabang and Lhonga, smashed enemy ships riding at anchor and carried the war back to the Indies for the first time since December, 1942.
In London the admirally announced that a terrific naval bombardment from battleships, cruisers and destroyers accompanied the aerial attack on We, indicating a successful British penetration to within a few miles of one of the most heavily guarded land bases in the Pacific.
Meanwhile an Ankara broadcast said that the Red army had broken the German defense ring around the Crimean naval base of Sevastopol and penetrated into the city, where street fighting now is in progress.
British observers also reported there was a gigantic explosion somewhere along the channel coast of France accompanied by an enormous flairup which illuminated the Dover straights from coast to coast. Nothing was known of the explosion cause or effect. There was some reason to believe French patriots and saboteurs touched off the exposition in honor of Adolph Hitler's 55th birthday.
Dispatches from Allied field head quarters at New Delhi drew a far more encouraging picture of the whole Burma-India situation. Forward Japanese elements were believed facing annihilation in the Kohima region after reinforced Allied units broke a week long siege of the supply town by means of strong tank and artillery operation.
K.U. Dean Receives Naples Flag
The official flag of the city of Naples is now the property of the University of Kansas Medical School at Kansas City. It is a gift to Dean H. R. Wahl from Gen. Edgar Erskine Hume, who obtained it while he was serving as chief medical officer for American forces in Italy; he was also in charge of civilian medical affairs in Naples. General Hume was a fellow student of Dr. Wahl at Johns Hopkins University.
The Naples flag is 4 feet by 6 feet and has three panels, green, white, and red. The center panel bears the crest of the House of Savoy in red with a blue border and a white cross in the center.
While in charge of Winters General hospital in Topeka two years ago, General Hume, who was then a colonel, was appointed a lecturer at the School of Medicine. Later he was transferred to the East and eventually to Mediterranean operations.
General Hume is author of the book "Orthonologists of the U. S. Army Medical Corps", which the Medical School has in its collection.
Mid-Semester Grades Available Monday
Mid-semester grades for College students are now being recorded in the dean's office and will be available Monday morning, Dean Paul B. Lawson stated this morning. Freshman and sophomores are advised to consult their advisers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week, he said.
Although instructor's reports were due in Tuesday night, the detailed clerical work necessary in recording the grades makes it impossible for the office to have the grades available to students before the first of the week.
A list of freshman-sophomore advisers is to be posted in Frank Strong hall, today, however, and the students may find out whom they are supposed to see.
Soldier Vote Question No Puzzle In Alumni Association Elections
The soldier-vote question is not new to the Alumni Association; and, according to Fred Ellsworth, secretary, this problem was solved several years ago by the democratic organization, for this year, as before, all members of the association, regardless of their address, will be permitted to vote by mail for the encliers and two new directors on the Kaw and Wakarusa tickets.
Charles B. Holmes of Lawrence, graduate of the School of Engineering in 1915, and Robert C. Rankin of Lawrence, former student in 1887, are running for president on the Wakarusa and Kaw tickets respectively. Candidates for vice-president in the same order are L. J. "Jack" Bond of ElDorado, graduate of the School of Engineering in 1917, and George Nettels of Pittsburg, graduate of the School of Engineering.
The two Wakarusa candidates for members of the board of directors are Cora Shinn Nelson, '17, of Salina, and Bert Anderson, '22, of Ottawa. Director candidates on the Kaw ticket are Madeline Nachtman Hurd, '15, of Topeka, and R. B. Stevens, of Lawrence, who has been president of the association for the past year.
Ballots will be sent to all paid members soon after April 20 and must be in by Saturday, June 24, Mr. Ellsworth said.
Retiring officers and directors this year include R. B. Stevens, president; Kenneth S. Adams, vice-president; Joanne Gleed Wagstaff, and Clarence L. Burt, directors. Board members who will remain in office are Balfour S. Jeffrey, W. T. Grant, Harland B. Hutchings, Oscar S. Stauffer, Hugo T. Wedell, Bertha Luckan McCoy, Ray S. Pierson and Clarence McGuire.
'Stabat Mater Tonight Is Finale Of Music Week
The festival concert at 8:15 p.m. this evening in Hoch auditorium will mark the final major musical event of Music Week, when the University A Cappella choir, the Symphony Orchestra, and soloists unite in presenting Rossini's "Stabat Mater."
The program will comprise choruses, solos, duets, and solo voices. While the work will be sung as it usually is, with Latin text, the program will carry a free translation of each section. Solo parts will be sung by Meribah Moore, soprano; Irene Peabody, mezzo-soprano; Joseph Wilkins, tenor; and Harold Thompson, bass. Because Miss Peabody has been recovering from a heavy cold, part of her assignment for the evening will be sung by Miss Alice Moncrieff, professor of voice.
D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will direct the entire program. Divided into ten sections, the work will last almost an hour.
Foster Presents Hard Program
The ability of Sidney Foster, young American pianist, was given ample opportunity for demonstration by the difficult program which he presented last night in Fraser theater before a large and enthusiastic audience, which called him back to the stage for three encores and numerous curtain calls.
The concert began with the majestic "Organ Prelude and Fugue in A Minor" (Bach-Liszt). Mr. Foster followed with the complete set of "Carnival Pictures" from Schumann. Lasting half an hour, the 23 movements of the number were distinctly contrasted in volume and style by the pianist. The Complete B Minor Chopin Sonata concluded the heavier portion of the program. The latter part of the concert was in a lighter tone, with two Debussy numbers, "Terrasse des audiences au clair de lune" and "General Lavine" and "Triana" by Albeniz-Godowsky.
Mr. Foster omitted two numbers from the printed program, "L'Isle Joyeuse" (Debussy) and "Evocation" (Albeniz), because he explained, he had not played the pieces for a year. He had planned to practice, but instead, had spent the time taking his physical examination for the Army. He said that he does not as yet know if he has passed.
189,309 Casualties Reported Since Outbreak of War
The audience indicated that the list of encores could be extended indefinitely, but Mr. Foster stopped with three: "Prelude in C Sharp Minor for Left Hand" (Scriabine), "Perpetual Motion" (Weber), and De Falla's well-known "Ritual Fire Dance."
Washington, (INS)—The OWI reported that the latest announced casualties of the U. S. armed forces since the outbreak of war total 189,309. The figure includes dead, wounded, missing, and prisoners of war.
Musicians Featured In Display
Pictures and articles concerning famous German musicians are featured on the German department bulletin board on the third floor of Fraser hall this week in connection with the University Music Week program.
In the display is an article concerning the death of Wolfgang Mozart who died at the age of 34 while friends were singing his "Requiem" which he had spent his last days composing.
Other clippings feature the musicians Beethoven, Bach, and Strauss, and Frederick the Great as a patron of music.
Pictures show the Wesendonck villa on the Green hill in Zurich, Switzerland, and the "Asyl" house that the Wesendonck family built in Zurich for Wagner during his exile from Germany. Here Wagner wrote "Tristan and Isolde" and sketched a number of his operas.
Included in the exhibit is a copy of the program from the special performance of "Dreimaderlhaus" or "Blossom Time" presented at the Stadtheater in Vienna in July, 1928, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Schubert's death, "Dreimaderlhaus," which is literally translated as "House of the Three Maidens" is founded on Schubert's own love story.
University Included In Tin Can Drive
The house to house campaign to explain how tin cans must be flattened for the new tin salvage drive, will include University dormitories and organized houses, C. T. Hough, chairman of the Lawrence drive committee has announced .
Sponsored by the Dorsey-Liberty post of the American Legion and its auxiliary, the drive will open next week when more than 150 representatives of the Legion call on housewives and housemothers to explain the process of salvaging cans. City trucks will collect cans which have been prepared for the drive.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of University building and grounds, has been placed in charge of the Legion representatives who will call on houses connected with the University, Mr. Hough has announced.
Previously cans donated in Lawrence for scrap have been used in copper smelting process. Cans collected in the current drive, however, will be used for the tin which can be obtained from them. For this reason contributors are being asked to remove labels, cut the top and bottom off each tan, fold them in, and then flatten the whole thing before salvaging it.
City trucks will make their first collections in the new drive during the first week in May, said Mr. Hough. The Legion committee hopes enough tin can be collected for a carload shipment to Chicago by June 1.
Two tin cans will make part of one hypodermic needle which service men can carry in their first aid kit. They can use it to administer to themselves to relieve pain when they are wounded and are unable to obtain medical treatment.
First Electricians To Be Graduated Here Tomorrow
Fifty-two electrician's mates, the first group to be graduated from the University Naval Training Station since its conversion from machinist's mate training to electrician's mate training, will be awarded diplomas at graduation exercises to be conducted at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
The honor man of the group is Seaman James Mullin Dick of North Hollywood, Calif.
The diplomas will be presented to the men of platoon one, company one by Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer. Addresses will be made by Lieutenant Buhl, Lt. T. R. O'Hara, executive officer; Lt. C. V. McGuigan, welfare and recreation officer, Dr. V. P. Hessler, professor of electrical engineering; and Paul G. Hausman, professor of shop practice; and Chief Warrant Electrician John McLoy.
Lieutenant McGuigan is the commander of the company. William S. Hjaltalin is the trainee commander,
The program for the morning in Fraser hall will include "Tribute to Prof. Miles W. Sterling," by Sam F. Anderson, of the University of Kansas; "A Plea for the Liberal Arts" by Sister M. Magdalita, Marymount College, Salina; and "Lefonnis, Island of Women" by Mrs. Bernice S. Engle, head of the department of educational therapy at the Meaninger sanitarium in Topeka.
Program Announced For Annual Meeting Of Classical Group
During a brief intermission Prof. Mary A. Grant, department of Latin and Greek, will point out and comment briefly on some of the more interesting things in the Wilcox Museum of Classical Antiquities. After the intermission "The Value of Classical Training to the Lawyer" will be given by F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, and Clarence A. Forbes, associate professor of classics at the University of Nebraska, will give "Athletics Now and Then."
Including speakers from three Kansas and Nebraska educational institutions, the program for the 38th annual meeting of the Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri to be held here at the University of Kansas Saturday, April 22. has been announced by L. R Lind, president of the association Chancellor Deane W. Malott will speak informally after a luncheon in the University Club room.
After lunch a business meeting will be held in the University Clubroom with talks by Winnie D. Lowrance, University of Kansas on "And There Was Sertorius," and Clarence A. Forbes, University of Nebraska, "Book-of-the-Month of Book-of-the-Ages."

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Although the picture may look black, it has its advantages. This year, for instance, at the end of the first semester many freshmen packed up and left school. The glamour, the gay life, which they had expected, has been traded in for a sterner, less-exciting brand of college life. Although dances are still being held and activities still go on, yet the enthusiasm for them is slight. If a girl comes to college for fun and no studying, one semester is enough to convince her that college isn't what she is looking for. The fact that many high school seniors realize this, may be instrumental in weeding out those who would waste their money coming to school just one semester.
The war took a dig at college life when the army called for its reserves and left colleges with a manpower shortage. The supplement of ASTP's, naval reserves and air cadets enabled the institutions of higher learning to continue in creditable fashion for some time. But the army's reduction of its college training programs cut the student population down to about half or one-third its normal size.
Collegiate Life Is Thing of the Past
It is hard to convince high school seniors to come to college this year. They know the situation which exists on all college campuses. The boys either are, or expect to be drafted, if they aren't already in the army or navy reserve. The glamour of high wages and, in some cities, the men in uniform, attract many high school girls, while a college at which women outnumber men doesn't appeal to them.
In pre-war days many high school seniors looked forward to college life as a gay round of football games, weekend parties, and bull sessions. Studying was only a minor item in their minds, for, as most college students know, studying doesn't amount to much in high school.
The lack of active school spirit and the general lack of interest in activities are evidently contributions which college makes to the war effort. High-school students can't be blamed for not being thrilled over college life. It just isn't like it used to be. But the high school graduate who realizes that college is running on a wartime schedule and who isn't expecting a gay round of parties, would probably like college life better than any alternative offered now. Education is increasingly important in these days of scientific skill and technical jobs.
Dean J. O. Jones, of the School of Engineering and Architecture, gave a short talk on the life of Professor A. H. Sluss at his funeral yesterday. The body was sent last night to Tuscola, Ill., for burial Friday.
Jones Is Speaker At Sluss Services
Professor Sluss died Tuesday. He had been ill for four months. The veteran faculty member had taught at the University for 36 years.

V-12's in Dr. H. H. Lane's zoology class got original before their lecture period and propped a skeleton up on the platform. When the professor entered, his bony usurper, notes in one hand, cigarette in the other, was leaning earnestly on the desk, his vacant stare trained on an unusually attentive class.
This is collech: In addition to getting one of their brothers pinned and killing a junior boa constrictor, (all previously related in this column), the Fhi Psis put many of their new methods of wooing, as compiled in the chapter publication "How to Crash Hearts and Houses," to practical test at the Theta house Saturday night.
The boys brought a large supply of their own plates and glasses, all of which were dropped and broken during the meal. As one tray after another, laden with what they assumed to be their good china, crashed to the floor, the Thetas grew more and more tense.
***
Posing as waiters, the boys brought in dilute Jergens lotion for milk. Fortunately, most of the brew spilled before poisoning any one.
Between courses they swept crumbs from the tables with a bath tub (?) brush.
The great coup d'etat of the evening, however, was the act of mislaying the trunk (size approaching that of a small elephant) in which chapter members brought over the supposedly buried hatchet of the Theta-Phi Psi feud. A search by all the boys, in all parts of the house resulted in the mislaid article's being found in an upstairs shower room.
The next lesson will be on etchings: At a Methodist youth social, Ben Welch. PT2, talked Marge Easter of Watkins hall, into trying her ability to, in the vernacular of one of the better organizations, fly blind.
The trick was to walk twice around two chairs, placed several feet apart and tied together with a towel, step over the towel, and then crawl under it.
Marge was blindfolded and the chairs were removed. After walk-around nothing, Marge started squirming under the same. Just then her blind was removed and she was embittered to find herself reclining a La-mour on a cleared floor in the middle of a questioning group of Methodists.

Can You Picture KANSAS without Newspapers?
Headline news of overwhelming interest to everyone in our state is being made hourly. Without our newspapers we wouldn't know what local boys are back on furlough — how the war goes—what the ball scores are—who're being married or what's in the comic-strips.
Overland Greyhound depends upon such newspapers as this one to carry information on bus service to travelers Overland Greyhound, in turn, carries many newspapers to rural areas not served by other transportation systems.
Newspapers are doing a fine job. Ours is a strong, free press, serving free people — the first thing dictators would suppress, if they could!
As fellow citizens of this state, Overland Greyhound Lines link the communities they serve to each other and to the rest of the country, as newspapers do.

In the dual meet last week at Oklahoma, the Kansas track squad showed a strong superiority over the Sooners in the field events. If Ray Kanehl had only had some middle distance men the outcome of the meet might have been different. The Sooners won the first three positions in the 880 and took first and second in the mile and two-mile. But in the field events, the Jay-hawkers were masters in all but the discus. Kansas took first and second in the shot; third in the discus; first, second, and third in the javelin; first and a tie for second in the high jump; first and second in the broad jump; and a first in the pole vault. These six events accounted for 38 of the $60\%$ points made by the Jay-hawks. If running events could only be strengthened the Crimson and Blue thinclads would be a strong foe at Lincoln for the Big Six Track meet, May 20.

The way the rainy weather hangs on threatening the Interscholastic meet here Saturday reminds old-timers of 1923. That year itrained hard all the preceding week until Friday. That day the track was worked hard to get it into shape. But Saturday dawned clear and sunshiny and by afternoon the track was in fine shape. Workmen are out now working on the track trying to get it in condition, but some good old sunshine would help the most.
From newspaper accounts we have come to believe that Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen made quite a hit up at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, when he was up there a week ago for a YMCA Tencentennial Year All-Sports banquet. Tait Cummins, Cedar Rapids Gazette sports editor, really went overboard for Allen's 12-foot basket theory. Cummins says it's hard to get serious about Allen's cage views for the simple reason that no one else will, but when he turns that oratory of his loose, a 12-foot basket looks as essential as rubber in girdles.

Rain Halts Picnics, Planting
If baked potatoes and oat meal do not appear on the menu at your house next year, you can blame it on the weather this spring, according to agricultural authorities. The excessive amount of rain the past two months has delayed the planting of crops in many cases, especially oats and potatoes.
Substituted for these two products in this section of the country are acres of corn and kafir corn. Local farmers report that some of the crops already planted are being washed out, and the muddy fields make it impossible to cultivate others.
Picnics and hikes scheduled for this weekend by campus organizations are rapidly being cancelled as the grey skies continue to drip gently but steadily.
The sunshine yesterday, however,
provided a break in the monotonous drizzle and allowed swells in Kansas rivers to pass on without reaching the flood stage.
Bucharest Bombed As Invasion Nears

Nazi broadcasts filled the air with reports of imminent assaults upon the continent asserting that "the greatest concentration of ships since Dunkirk—including British, American, French and other Allied vessels—is massing in British home waters. Every day now," the German broadcast continued, "Allied troops trains are leaving London stations taking men to channel ports on the east and south coast."

Quartet Stars In 'Stabat Mater'
The solemn and religious "Stabat Mater" by Rossini, presented by approximately 150 students and faculty members, drew a crowd of 800 people to Hoch auditorium last night for the last major event of Music Week.
Of the ten sections into which the program was divided, the eighth part with its brilliant orchestral passages and choral crescendos, was the most popular with the audience. Opening with a brass arrangement, followed by a tympani roll, the phrases were repeated with variations throughout the number. The soprano solo, was sung by Miss Meribah Moore. Crashing chords at the end composed a fitting climax to the section.
The quartet, composed of Miss Moore, soprano; Miss Alice Moncrieff, mezzo-soprano; Joseph Wilkins, tenor; and Harold Thompson, bass, opened the program with a combined chorus and quartet number accompanied by the University Symphony orchestra.
Wilkins Pleases Audience
With the brass section again predominant at the beginning of the second number, the strings and the tenor voice of Joseph Wilkins soon took up the melody. The voices of Miss Moore and Miss Peabody were expertly blended in the third sec-

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Music Week Is Born Of Communal Singing
Closing the annual Music Week festival tonight is the banquet and initiation service of Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary musical society. Beginning last Sunday, musical entertainment has been provided every afternoon or night with guest and local talent.
New York inaugurated the Music Week in America in 1920. At the University this custom was established in 1924 under the supervision of the Lawrence Musical Festival Association.
During the second University celebration, April 29, 1925, the Daily Kansan reported, "Music Week, born of community singing, has been inspired by the innate love of music common to all. Music Week, as we know it, is a direct outgrowth of the Great War."
This appreciation for community singing was developed in the mass singing of the doughboys, who communicated their enthusiasm for music back home on their return from France. Many communities started this custom then, and a greater interest developed in American composers and musicians.
1938 Music Week was nationalized, and last year it was called All-American Music Week. Before the whole week was set aside by the University, a music festival was held in May-for the first time in 1904. Its aim was "to provide music of highest quality and broadest scope for students of the University and the city of Lawrence."
In 1925 Dean D. M. Swarthout explained the change to a week of festivity, "In a certain sense music week is an outgrowth of the old May festival . . . It differs from its predecessor, however, in the fact that it seeks to a greater extent to elevate the general musical standards of the community rather than to cater to the desires of a few music lovers."
This year, in the midst of broken traditions and fewer entertainments, the School of Fine Arts arranged a full Music Week program.
Students Invited To Classics Meeting
English and romance language majors have been invited to attend the talks given in the program of the 38th annual meeting of the Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri at the University tomorrow, Prof. L. R. Lind announced.
The public and Physical Education majors especially have been invited to attend the talk by Clarence A. Forbes, associate professor of classics at the University of Nebraska, who will speak on "Athletics Now and Then."
In the afternoon Clarence Forbes will speak on "Book-of-the-Month or Book-of-the-Ages." Chancellor Deane W. Malott will speak informally after a luncheon in the University Club room.

Jack Smalley of Newton, former Kappa Sig at K-State, were calmly enjoying after-dinner coffee at her house Tuesday night, surrounded by admiring Pi Phi sisters. All was progressing nicely, June and Jack engrossed in each other, until some confused Pi Phi came up and remarked, "We'll be seeing you again Bill."
By PAT PENNEY
Navy Day: Alice Ackerman, Alpha Chi, was strolling home from Tau Sig the other evening with her out-of-town guest, Ens. Bill Brown of K.C., and the two were chatting merrily until they came face to face with Navy Medic Lyle Litton, Alice's KU attraction. Litton didn't look too happy about saluting his rival, who had to drop Alice's hand to return the salute. Tittering from sisters, Joan Power and Peggy
At that there was a dead silence while June got red, and Jack got red, and Pi Phil's snickered. The culprit hastily added, "Oh, I've embarrassed Patty." Here pendemonium broke loose in a deluge of hearty laughter; so now Jack calls June, Patty, and June calls Jack, Bill.

Barbara Huls, Fine Arts senior from Lawrence, will present her senior recital in violin at 8 o'clock Monday evening in Fraser theater. She will be accompanied by Max Hughes, graduate student, at the piano.
Huls Will Present Senior Violin Recital
On the program she will play as her major piece the Bruch Concerto in G Minor as well as shorter selections from Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Granados, Debussy, and Zaryzycki.
Miss Huls is concert master of the University Symphony Orchestra, and a member of the University string quartet.
Smith, who were walking behind didn't help matters any, either.
Pat Henley is the chief organizer and superintendent of nightly "slimming parties at the DG house. Pat has convinced all the girls that they should reduce, so every night after closing hours, they descend to the chapter room to go through various contortions for the sake of that girlish figure. There's only one catch to the deal—only the slim ones show up. The others haven't been back since the first night.
Another fad in the DG house is that of wearing men's pajamas. The bigger and louder the pajamas, the better. Bobbie Thiele, freshman, just couldn't conceal her embarrassment at Ober's the other day when she tried to purchase her pair of pajamas. The clerk brought out the smallest size he could find, but Bobye insisted that she wanted size D (elephant size to you).
The astounded clerk kept exclaiming, "Are you sure you want size D?—for yourself?" while Bobby's face attained a hue akin to tomatoes. She finally got the pajamas, and is wearing them in the proper style—with arms and legs rolled up.

In the Class A field, Wichita East will be a favorite to repeat as winners in their division. Under Ray Kanehl last year, now Kansas varsity track coach, the Wichita Aces won first place. Wichita North edged out East last week at the Anthony Relays, but the Aces were without their star performer, Linwood Sexton, so will be expected to be a strong opponent if the colored flash is ready to go.

Yanks Surprise Japs At New Guinea Base
(International News Service)
American forces were closing in on the big Hollandia airbase in Dutch New Guinea, in the largest invasion of the southwest Pacific war, following a triple landing that carried the troops of Gen. Douglas MacArthur 500 miles nearer to the Philippines.
Streaming ashore between a terrific air and naval bombardment of Japanese positions, the Americans quickly seized three air strips and other objectives and drove toward the air base, possession of which will place the Allies within comparatively easy bombing range of the Philippines.
The Japanese were taken completely by surprise and 60,000 enemy troops faced isolation and eventual death or surrender.
Carrying the greatest offensive of
the war into the eighth consecutive day, American bombers based in both Italy and England struck in great strength today against Adolph Hitler's fortressed Europe. From Britain went bombers to attack Friedrichshafen and Munich, while from Italy went bombers to attack the railway yard at Bucharest and military installations in the Ploesti oilfields of Rumania.
Folk Culture Remedy For Present Art, Ashton Tells PKA
Some 1,750 heavy bombers escorted by an equal number of fighting planes participated in the two-way assault. These American daylight forays followed a blistering series of RAF aids on industrial areas in Belgium and the German industrial city of Mannheim.
Indications mounted that a large scale Russian drive through Poland is in the making. Soviet troops were within sight of Sevatopol.
"The most basic example of this attitude (the tendency of artists to express themselves) is James Joyce," stated Professor Ashton, "particularly in his work 'Finnegan's Wake' where even the normal uses of language are put aside for tricks of style which are practically unintelligible to a person who is looking for meaning in the conventional way."
The present day tendency of some artists to produce only for the sake of expressing themselves without any particular concern for communicating ideas and emotions to other peoples should be remedied by the return of the folk culture, in a broad sense, emphasized John W. Ashton, professor of English, at the annual meeting Friday night at the Hearth of Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary musical society.
Four students were initiated into the society, the highest honor awarded to a music student. The new members are: Justine Peterson Kloepper, M o n u m e n t; Suzanne Schmidt, Freeport; Leora Adams DeFord, Clay Center; and Max Hughes, Colby. E. T. Gaston, president of the organization, presided as master of ceremonies. The next banquet and initiation services will take place next year following the Music Week festival.
"The same thing is true in the painting "Surrealism"; and in music there are approaches to it in some of the experiments of composers who seem to be more interested in experiment for its own sake than in the development of musical ideas. We need to return to the arts as companions of everyday life which characterizes people in what we think of as simpler cultures than the current one."
Professor Ashton emphasized the need for the close relating of all the arts of life and that without that close relation the arts lost much of their effectiveness.

Volunteers Brace Dikes, Feed Workers
The U. S. weather forecast for today is:
Fair tonight, colder with frost. Increasing cloudiness and rain.
Approximately 250 University students left their classes today to help fight back the flood waters of the Kaw and Wakara rivers, the latter reaching the highest flood stage in its history. Many of these students, most of whom were army and navy trainees, have been on duty all night, filling and tying sand bags, strengthening dikes and levees, and aiding the Red Cross in feeding the workers and evacuating a few families in the lowlands near the river.
At the worst spot, Wichita, where thousands were made homeless by the amaging Little Arkansas, the waters were at a standstill but threatened other communities all the way to the Oklahoma line.
(International News Service)
Arriving on the scene even before the state guard, 30 CAP's, about half of whom were University students, volunteered their services early
Floods Isolate Towns and Kill Three People
Ottawa and Emporia were isolated by floodwaters, and although route 24 was closed, traffic between Topeka, Kansas City, and Wichita was possible through other routes.
More than five inches of rain fell over the weekend in many parts of the state.
(International News Service)
Flood fighters in Missouri and Kansas today worked under murky skies to save levees and bridges while the known death toll, directly attributed to floods, stood at three. Waters from gorged rivers continued to pour through towns and over farm lands; and although more rain is promised for tomorrow, the respite today abated present danger.
Electricians Praised As Diplomas Given
Commending the 52 men of platoon one, company one, of the University Naval Training School on their excellent record while in training here, Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer, presented the trainees the first to be graduated from electrical training, diplomas Friday afternoon. The exercises were held in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
In their addresses to the men, Dr. V. P. Hessler, professor of electrical engineering, and Paul G. Hausman, professor of shop practice, congratulated them on their fine conduct in the classroom and on their cooperation in the class work.
"Platoon one has made the best record of any group graduating from the school in conduct, disciplinary action, and in scholastic standing." said Lt. T. R. O'Hara, executive officer. "Your behavior about the ship and in your academic and military work has left a fine example for future platoons to follow."
"This platoon was especially handicapped at first by lack of materials and by the fact that we were still training machinist mates at that time," said Lt. C. V. McGuigan, company commander and welfare and recreation officer. "However, your orientation under these circumstances has been exceptional, and we are proud of your record."
James Mullin Dick of North Hollywood, Calif., was cited as honor man of the division and received a rating of electrician's mate third class. Dick and Rolland Brooks, Los Angeles, will remain at the school for 16 weeks as trainee instructors.
vesterday afternoon to help fill and
tie sand bags, remaining on duty until 1:30 last night. Women students from the various houses came down about 2:30 yesterday afternoon to offer their services to the Red Cross in taking food and hot drinks around by truck to workmen and evacuating a few families from North Lawrence.
Two fraternity groups, consisting of ten each, came down to the river bank to offer their services early in the evening, working until midnight when they went home to rest, but called up an hour later saying they were ready to come on duty again.
At 3 p.m. today the height of the Kaw river was 22 feet 9 inches, and the waters were gradually falling
As the flood waters rose, more volunteers were called for and 90 AST's were sent down at midnight to assist the city workers. Twenty navy cadets arrived at the same time and a few hours later 40 more cadets appeared as a relief squad. Early this morning 55 medics offered to throw up extra dikes and bank the existing levees with more sand bags. With river waters falling slightly this morning, 50 electrician's mates of Companies 2, 3, and 4 relieved the trainees who had been up all night and took over the task while the V-12 units are standing by to lend further assistance if necessary.
In a morning report the Kaw river which had reached a high mark of 23.3 feet sometime after midnight (a point six-tenths of a foot below the flood stage reached last year), had dropped about five-tenths of a foot with a further drop expected this afternoon and evening. The Wakarua river, which extended over an area four-fifths of a mile wide yesterday afternoon, had also dropped over half a foot from the 28 foot flood stage. Two small bridges, in out-lying districts of the county had been washed out, according to the county engineer, but the majority of the roads into Lawrence were passable by this morning with the road to Ottawa the only one still blocked.

8-Year-Old Children Aid Adult Workers To Fill Sand Bags
Providing stiff competition for many of the adult workers at the river banks yesterday, four or five little eight-year-old children were industriously filling and tieing sand bags to have ready for the volunteer workers with which to back the levees.
Among other volunteers, according to Ship Winters who was super-intending the work, were two WAC's from Kansas City, one of whom had participated in a recruiting drive at the University several month-age.
A former resident of Lawrence, now living in Topeka, also drove down last night to offer his services on the levees.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Sen. Bilbo Expounds White Supremacy In Mississippi
Fanatically afraid that the old South is fast becoming a modern, industrial and more tolerate South. U.S. Senator Theodore Bilbo, Mississippi, sped to Jackson on his "C" card recently to address the state legislature there on the supremacy of the white race in this country and to attempt to restore the waning strict racial hatred against the Negroes. At the height of his passion, Bilbo suggested that American Negroes should be deported en masse to West Africa to rid our country of the racial problem for once and for all.
A current issue of the New Republic magazine went so far as to point that Bilbo had become worked up enough to make the speech in the face of the threat of poll-tax repeal in the South and, too, the possibility is that Southern soldiers, black and white alike, will return home with new ideas on race and politics that won't jive with his own.
The New Republic climaxed its story with the stab that Herr Goebbels of Germany would have found it difficult to add much to the 36-page speech Bilbo gave expounding the supremacy of the white race.
It seems, however, that the Southern gentlemen who are still fighting the Civil war in 1944 (Bilbo, for instance) are fast on their way out of Southern politics, since recent primaries showed fairly conclusively that Claude Pepper and Lister Hill, admittedly two of the best progressive legislators ever produced in Dixie will be renominated for office and will fight vigorously to give the South its-deserved break in the world of industry and remove it from its muddy rut of intolerance and prejudice.D.S.

Life Is Confusing—Just ask Lucy Graham, Corbinite. Early last week, Lucy had a date arranged with Charles Ise for Saturday night and a big time in Kansas City. So when a masculine voice over the phone a few nights later asked her to celebrate his departure to the Navy Friday night, Lucy insisted on the previous Saturday understanding.
For half an hour she argued the point with the voice, and finally hung up the receiver, muddled, but victorious. It was not until several hours later when Virginia Pfouts came in that Lucy realized the call must have been from Virginia's brother, John Pfouts, Beta. With quaking voice, and visions of a double celebration Saturday night, Lucy straightened things out. The Navy remains uncelebrated.

Into the Business? — It all started because Alice Rose Shanklin wanted "something to love" and brought home a pair of white rats—both female. The pets, securely housed under lock and key, still brought only a lukewarm reception from Chi Omega sisters, but they were accepted, on the condition that they be kept far, far away from "inhabited" parts of the house.
Huls Will Present Recital at 8 Tonight
Barbara Huls, Fine Arts senior from Lawrence, will present her senior recital in violin at 8 p.m. tonight in Fraser theater. She will be accompanied by Max Hughes, graduate student, at the piano.
The program will open with "Arioso" (Bach-Franko) followed by Beethoven's "Romanza in F". Miss Huls will also play the three movements of Bruch's "Concerto, G Minor."
For the final part of the program she will play four numbers: "Ave Maria" (Schubert-Wilhelm); "Spanish Dance" (Granados-Kreisler); "En Bateau" (Debussy-Choisnel); and "Mazurka" (Zazycki).
Inspired by the act, Bobbie Smith and Pat Sigman added another member to the collection, also female. The climax came when Margaret Kreider, via roommate, Sue Diggs, became the proud possessor of the fourth member of the colony—male! Debate now centers around the question, "Will they, or will someone get there with the rat poison first?"

The Realistic Effect — Definitely animal conscious, Chi O's presented a Jungle Club as one attraction at their spring formal Saturday night. Featured was a 4-foot, too-true-to-life Bull snake, draped artistically in the middle of the floor. We're sure it was the rainy weather that caused business to be slow at the Jungle Club Saturday night.

Society Item — The Fleet Men or V-12 gave a formal party recently at the Indian Village. The theme was a ship and various officers were installed to reign throughout the evening. Tea and crumplents were served for refreshment. Electrician mates were noticeable for their short appearance and sudden departure. Editor's note: There are other versions.

Wichita East Clearwater Win Prep Track Meet
In weather suitable for almost anything but a track meet, the 40th Annual University of Kansas Interscholastic Track and Field meet was held here Saturday with Wichita East winning the Class A title and Clearwater heading the field of Class B schools.
After a night of hard rain the track was thoroughly soaked. To add to that, intermittent showers and hard driving rains fell through out the day. The last event on the program, the mile relay, was run in a rain so hard that it made it difficult to see across the track, and by the time the last heat began, water completely covered the track at least two inches deep. Because of the extremely slow track no meet records were threatened.
Wichita East won the Class A title last year, but Clearwater replaced Bentley as champions in Class B.

Sportorials By Charles Moffett
We doubt if there ever was a worse day for a track meet than last Saturday. Even if the rains stopped Friday morning, the track would have been in poor enough condition, but with the hard driving rain Friday night plus the showers all day Saturday, it made it all the more difficult to run . . . The high jump, broad jump, and pole vault were all held under the west end of the stadium . . . Several high schools who had planned to enter the meet failed to arrive because of the floods and continuing rains . . . Also several teams were unable to leave Saturday because of the high water and were stranded here over the weekend . . . The weather washed away all chances for any new records to be set. Don Price of Topeka pole vaulted 11 feet $10^{1/2}$ inches, but has previously done over 12 feet. However, there was a psychological disadvantage present as the vaultors had to run through a 3-foot doorway and then leap with the threat of cement beams overhead . . . The mile relay almost turned into a swimming race as the track had two or three inches of water on it and the entire event was run off in a driving rain that even limited visibility. Nevertheless, both class A and B turned in good time considering the conditions . . . Wichita East and Clearwater completely dominated the meet both capturing 53 points.

Plans are being made for a football game between the varsity spring practice squad and several alumni on the Hill. The game will be played at Haskell stadium under the lights under the sponsorship of the Kansas Relays club. Although practice will be held to a minimum because of the weather the game would offer some fine entertainment as well as some good football. More detailed plans are expected to be announced soon.

Grades Are Released By Advisers Today
Mid-semester grades for freshmen and sophomores were recorded over the weekend and may now be obtained from the students' advisers, announced Paul B. Lawson, College dean, today. Since several of the juniors' and seniors' grades have not been turned in yet, their grades will be mailed to them as soon as the College office receives and records them.
Dean Lawson urged students in the two lower classes to consult their advisers, whose names are posted on the bulletin board across from the College office in Frank Strong hall, sometime today or tomorrow, if possible. They may still see them any time Wednesday however. Wednesday evening notices will be mailed to the parents of all students who are receiving five hours of F or have over 40 per cent unsatisfactory work.

Dean F. T. Stockton, of the Schoo of Business, will go to Topeka, Wednesday to attend the meeting of the joint committee on retirement plans for the first state schools of Kansas, of which he is chairman.
At the meeting, proposals on retirement plans for faculty and other employees of the five state schools will be prepared to be submitted to the committee of legislative council.
Stockton to Attend Meeting in Topeka
Dean Stockton will confer with Dr. Fred Guild, director of the research department of the legislative council, who was formerly the head of the political science department here at the University.
Fifty persons attending the 38th annual meeting of the Kansas and West Missouri Classical Association, Saturday chose Topeka as their 1945 meeting place.
If transportation difficulties from the flood are overcome, Dean Stockton will also attend a meeting of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, on Friday and Saturday, in Chicago. Postwar plans will be discussed.
Topeka Will Be Host To Classical Group For 1945 Meeting
Miss Jean Robertson, Topeka, was elected president of the organization with Miss Helen Anderson, Kansas City, vice-president, and Miss Winnie D. Lowrance, University High School, secretary.
Cancellor Deane W. Malott addressed the delegates at a luncheon meeting in the University club room of the Union building. Clarence A. Forbes, University of Nebraska, was the principal convention speaker.
Faculty members of the University of Kansas who took part in the program were Sam F. Anderson, instructor in German, who presented a "Tribute to Prof. Miles W. Sterling!" F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law who spoke on "The Value of Classical Training to the Lawyer," and Winnie D. Lowrance, assistant professor of education, who spoke on "And There Was Sertorius . . ."
FOLK CULTURE----

"It is not a process of cheapening which is involved; it is not that we should ask a great artist like Siziget to play trivial compositions; rather that we see in the rich performance of a man like him new values in life which are valid all the time, not just for enjoyment during the concert."
Trainees Win Exhibition Game
The basketball game played last Friday night on the 12-foot baskets between the V-12 team and the Varsity was won by the V-12's 46 to 41.
10-4 The game was played in Robinson gymnasium and was attended by several coaches and high school athletes here for the interscholastic track meet, as well as several other interested spectators.
Before the contest began, Dr. F.C. Allen, chief advocate and originator of the new goals, explained the conditions of the game. The new rules of unlimited substitution, five personal fouls allowed each player, and the right of the referee to stop play if one of the defensive players is hurt. For purposes of experiment, a field goal counted three points and a free throw only one.
High point men for the evening were Schimenz of the V-12 team and Bob Turner of the Varsity, both with 12 points made on four baskets each.
FLOOD----
(continued from page one)
No deaths or injuries resulting from the flood have been reported in this area, but several families in the Wakarusa Valley were marooned in their homes. Red Cross workers managed to get food to them, and also helped move several families, including one mother who was alone with eight children, taking them to the Community building for the time being.
Ship Winters, president of the Chamber of Commerce and director of the flood work, stated this morning that everything was under control and unless the levees unexpectedly softened or there was another unusually heavy rain this evening, there would be no danger. County trucks and employees were standing by, however, and the Salvation Army was still assisting with feeding the workers.
The aid provided by military trainees was the second occasion within a year that such help was given. Last June nearly 50 naval trainees threw their bodies into a break in a dyke to hold back the waters until sand bags could be placed. This act of heroism resulted in a public celebration later.

Mail Order Firm Ignores FDR's Labor Order
Chicago, (INS) — Montgomery Ward and Company announced today it was flatly refusing to comply with President Roosevelt's directive to obey a war labor board order.
In a telegram addressed to President Roosevelt, Sewell Avery, board chairman of the house, said that the company will not extend the present contract with a CIO union but will insist that a plant election be held first to determine whether the union represents a majority of the employees. It was held likely that the government would take over the plant.
(International News Service)
A mass meeting of minority stockholders of Montgomery Ward and Company is scheduled for Friday in Chicago in protest against the action of company officials in defying the government, according to the newspaper PM.
Kaw River Recedes; Wichitans Reoccupy Water Soaked Homes
In Kansas the Kaw was falling throughout its entire reaches. The Neosho was returning to its banks in the Burlington area, but below Burlington it was rising and forecasts of nine feet above flood stage at Iola and Chanute were issued.
The Verdigris crested at Independence at 13 feet above flood stage and caused one of the worst floods in the area's history. The Marais des Cygnes was still rising at Trading Posts and will reach its crest there tomorrow.
Washington, (INS)—The navy announced today that Ujelang was occupied Saturday and Sunday by U. S. forces which quickly overcame light opposition.
The occupation of Ujelang brings American forces to the western-most position to be occupied in the Central Pacific, only 644 land miles from the Japanese bastian of Truk.
The Big Arkansas rampaged south of Wichita to Oklahoma inundating thousands of acres of wheat while farmers surveyed washed out bridges and their peach crop ruined by hail.
Five thousand Wichitans went back to their water soaked and mud plastered homes, eyeing skies, that promised more rain. Soldiers at Camp Phillips continued to stand over dykes and bridges as trains bean feeling their way south and east out of the still water-filled city. A $200,000 bond issue will be floated by the county for repair of community property devastated by the floods.
Bomber Crashes in Montreal Street Montreal, Quebec, (INS)—At least 15 people were believed killed and an entire Montreal block was wrecked today when a librator bomber burst into flames in midair and crashed into the street.
BULLETIN
Ralph May Made All A's But 5 Hours
Ralph Waldo May of Oskaloosa Kans., has set a scholastic record in the School of Engineering and Architecture at the University of Kansas that will be something for future generations of students to think about. At the beginning of the second semester of his senior year he has 125 credit hours of grade A and 5 of grade B, giving him a grade point average of 2.96 out of a possible 3.00. According to acting Dean J. O. Jones, this is one of the highest scholastic averages attained by any student in the history of the school.
Ralph May is an aeronautical engineering major. He is president of both K.U. honorary engineering societies, Sigma Tau and Tau Beta Pi; and was also editor of the "Kansas Engineer." He is a Summerfield scholar.
The Civil Aeronautics administration has selected him to research in the CAA laboratories at Langley Field, Va., after his graduation in June.
Stringer to Be At Union Swing
The Union Swing-with-Stringer will be held from 9 to 12 p.m. Saturday in the lounge of the Union building with the music of Dean Stringer and his deans of music. The Union Activities committee, sponsor of the dance, has announced that the band will be placed at the end of the lounge to allow more room for dancing.
"There will be good music and good arrangements," Eugenia Hepworth, vice-president and chairman of the social activities of the committee, announced, "so everyone should come."
Mr. Stringer played for the carnival several weeks ago and since then has been called back several times by the organized houses. He has also been playing for the USO in Kansas City and has been offered a summer job playing in USO centers all over the country.
L. P. Cookingham, city manager of Kansas City, Mo., will address members of the social science groups at 9:30 tomorrow morning on the problems of city government. He will speak at the initiation dinner of Pi Sigma Alpha, national honorary political science fraternity at 7 p.m. at the Colonial Tea Room.
Cookingham to Speak To Groups Tomorrow
Students interested in attending the speeches are welcome, although reservations must be made for the dinner, W. E. Sandelius, professor of the political science department, has announced. Mr. Cookingham will be in the University Club room of Green hall from 10:30 to 12 a.m. and from 2 p.m. throughout the afternoon. Students are welcome to talk to him then, Mr. Sandelius said.
Good Flying Days in Kansas Kansas has the most good flying days per year of any state in the Union.
Indian Legends Will Be Subject Of Dr. Voegelin
Dr. Erminie W. Voegelin, of the anthropology department of the University of Indiana in Bloomington, Ind., will lecture on "Unwritten Legends of the American Indians" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Fraser theater under the sponsorship of the departments of English and sociology. The lecture is open to the public. J. W. Ashton, professor of English announced.
Dr. Voegelin is editor-in-chief of the Journal of American Folk Lore, the publication of the American Folk Lore Society which is an international organization of anthropologists, folk lorists, and all those interested in popular customs and literature.
Dr. Voegelin and her husband, Carl Voegelin of the staff of the Aryan language training course at the University of Indiana, have spent several years engaged in field work with various groups of American Indians; and she has become a recognized authority in the field of Indian stories. At present she is writing a section dealing with this subject for an encyclopedia of the social sciences. Since the pioneering Dr. Franz Boas in the early years of this century, no work has been done in the field of Indian legends more original than that of Dr. Voegelin, Professor Ashton stated.
Kansas Life Pictured In Articles
Appearing currently in The Kansas Historical Quarterly are articles of interest to all Kansans, chief of which is "Lewis Bodwell, Frontier Preacher; The Early Years" by Russell K. Hickman.
"The Letters of John Ferguson," gives a vivid account of Washington county's number one citizen and his dealings with the difficult Plains Indians. Crop and weather reports, all told in characteristically bad rhetoric, add interest.
Concluding part II of "Lewis Bodwell, Frontier Preacher," Hickman tells of the frontiersman's varied experiences in which the slavery question figured prominently. Bodwell, assuming religious leadership of this era of Kansas history, led the crusade against slavery.
Tales of unserupulous cattlemen fraudulent agents, and ignorant politicians are recounted in "Irregularities at the Pawnee Agency." Indian Bureau administration was notoriously bad at this time.
Other outstanding features of this issue are "The Letters of John Ferguson, Early Resident of Western Washington County," "Irregularities at the Pawnee Agency" by Stanley Clark, and "Circuit-Riding in South-west Kansas in 1885 and 1886." All deal mainly with the Indian problem.
The Quarterly is published by the Kansas State Historical Society.
Pesky Yellow Weed Is No Excuse To Have Wartime Dandelion Day
(continued to page four)
"When the faculty took over the task two years ago, they did it in their off hours," he hinted.
This famous innovation of the University was first suggested by Charles Wright of Topeka and Bill Farmer of Paola, who gained the support of the Men's Student Council in organizing in 1941 a holiday on which the entire student body took a day off from their studies and spent the morning eradicating the weed. In the afternoon an impromptu carnival was held during which a prize was awarded to the student who could capture and retain a greased pig released among the crowd. A
"Neither the faculty nor the buildings and grounds department will object, however, if the students see fit to dig dandelions in their spare hours or on Saturday—in fact, we'd be overjoyed if they would," assured the dean.
Public Invited To Hear McKechnie
If the University is to observe "Dandelion Day," it will be on the student's own time Dean Paul B. Lawson said recently. Dandelion Day formerly was an annual spring holiday.
Because of the intensified war program, under which not even an Easter vacation was possible, University authorities do not consider it necessary or appropriate to devote an entire day to digging up the pesky yellow flowers when not over two or three hours of concentrated effort would be sufficient to rid the campus of the yearly spring menace, and the rest of the time would probably be spent in merry-making, Dean Lawson said.
Persons outside of the journalism department are invited to hear Mr. McKechnie at any time and to attend the Press Club dinner, Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the journalism department has announced.
Pete McKechnie, who will address University students twice Wednesday and be a guest at a dinner of the Press Club Wednesday evening is editor and general manager of the "Kiowa County Signal" and president of the Kansas Press Association.
Following the Press Club dinner at 7 o'clock in the Colonial Tea Room, he will speak on "Opportunities for Women in Journalism." Questions and discussion will follow each of his three addresses.
Mr. McKechnie will speak first at 11:30 in room 107 of the Journalism building. He will speak again at 3:30 in the same room. His morning address will concern the practical problems in retail advertising. His second talk will be on publishing problems during and after the war.
In addition to his experience with the "Signal." Mr. McKechnie has served in the advertising department of the Hammermill Paper company doing copy writing and layout work. His lectures, consequently, will give students practical instruction in both the editorial and advertising side of journalism,
Flood Waters Cause Delay In Mail Service
Unless mail is brought to Lawrence by some extraordinary method there will be no mail service except locally until tomorrow evening at least, according to postal authorities today. None of the three train companies are operating yet due to the excessive high waters which have washed out their tracks, and weakened bridges on all sides of Lawrence during the past few days.
Station agents reported that they expected a few trains to be able to get through from the northwest tomorrow afternoon and other routes to open up the following day and night unless the rain today continues through the night. As quite a few students had gone to Ottawa, Coffeyville, and other points south over the weekend, they will be unable to return to classes until Thursday at least and maybe Friday.
The crest of the flood which reached Lawrence late Sunday night or early Monday morning was recorded at 23.3 feet and has not risen again since then. A mark of 18.8 feet was recorded this morning with the river expected to fall]even more from now on.
River Waters Down Five Feet
Seventeen students have qualified to receive both standard and advanced Red Cross first aid certificates after completing the special instruction course offered last semester, Dr. Parke Woodard, associate professor of physiology has announced. The certificates may be obtained now at the School of Medicine office, Dr. Woodard said.
Two groups of V-12's volunteered to take their turn on the devies last night, going down to the river about 6 o'clock and working until after midnight. The 40 men who were on alternating shifts with the electrician's mates and were all that were needed at that time, were not called back and no students are working out there today as the necessary bank has all been done and the danger is apparently past.
Majority of Roads Now Passable
Although the surfacing has been washed off a few of the highways in the county, the majority of the roads are quite passable now according to the county engineer. He also stated that the wide area covered by the backwaters of the Wakarusa was providing the county with valuable information as the county is open.
17 Students Receive First Aid Awards
(continued to page four)
Those who have earned the award are Katherine Burchfield, Dorothy Carr. Caroline Carson, Pauline Earnheart, Richard M. Fox, Roy R. Graba, Mary Jane Hayes, Barbara Heinsohn, Mrs. Ruby E. Ingham, Carolyn P. Kerford, Kathryn Ann Krehbiel, Vivian McBeth Sutherland, Pauline Schultz, Ethel Mary Schwartz, Janet Lee Sloan, Marjorie G. Snyder, and Bonnie S. Tutz.
The first aid course, formerly presented by the home economics department, is not being offered this semester.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Many Women Fail To Take Active Part In Winning War
Because of the comparative good fortune the United States has had so far in this war, the government has not been forced to draft women as the British government had to do. But by all the propaganda devices known, the government continues to urge women to join in the war effort by either enlisting in one of the services or working in an essential war industry.
True, many women have enlisted and many others are working in defense industries, but the need is still great. Part of the lack of mass response to the government's requests can probably be traced to the fact that this war still isn't a do-or-die, all-out affair for the American people.
Even though Americans realize that the biggest battles lie ahead, they are confident of victory, and all-out sacrifice doesn't seem vitally necessary. So, instead of being a direct aid to the war effort, many American women are "waiting it out." Wives, who follow their husbands from camp to camp, are good for morale all right, but they only add to the confusion around army camps. Some of these women find work in the different camp towns, but most of them don't bother.
Another group of women, not so large as the first but equally guilty of doing nothing, are those women who come to college with no special ambition, but just because it is "the thing to do." College men have long laughed at the woman who comes to college for her M.R.S. degree, but the funniest thing is that the man who laughs, often marries her.
The average person guides his actions by the standards set by public opinion. Accordingly, the average woman guides her actions by what her neighbors and friends will think of her—and especially by what her masculine friends will think of her.
So while the government is propagandizing, it might profit well by taking the masculine opinion into consideration. There are still many men who don't believe their wives should work and who don't approve of women in uniform. Such a roundabout propagandizing of masculine opinion, if effective, would probably get much better results than present methods.
Class to Give Skits Before Spanish Club
Ten short skits and plays will be presented by the Spanish conversation class at the meeting of El Ateneo at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon in room 113 Frank Strong hall. The class is instructed by Dr. W. H. Shoemaker, head of the department of romance languages and literature.
Members of the class who will take part in the program are: Patricia Harvey, Patricia Williams, Geneva Brown, Lois Miller, Mary Tudor Hanna, and Lonnie Eve Kelley, College juniors; J. Glen Hahn, Helen Hird, Betty Lay, Roberta Frowe, and Jean Kaufmann, College sophomores, and Mrs. Owen Carl, special student.
Quill Club to Meet Tonight
Quill Club to Meet Tonight Members of Quill Club, honorary literary organization, will meet this evening at 8 o'clock in the Memorial Union building, announced John Hankins, professor of English.
Rock Chalk Talk
"Shall We Gather at the River?":
A number of students went down to Ol' Man Kaw Sunday night to see what they could do to keep things under control. Some boys helped pile sandbags and some girls served coffee to the workers. Among the girls who went were Pollock, Burkhead, Kreider and company, Chi O's, who will probably be awarded medals by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. When the dike broke endangering some live stock, these girls heroically rescued some pigs, carrying them out of reach of the water, and drove some cows to safety. Carrying pigs—that's what we call patriotism!
BUY U.S. WAR BONDS
By PAT PENNEY
It Started All Over Again: DG's and Phi Psi's had another run-in Sunday morning, with the Delta Gam's taking the initiative this time. About 6:30 a.m. the girls proceeded to the Psi house and posted a sign over the door, "Ladies' Rest Room—Furnished by Phi Kappa Psi."
***
Inside the girls found five cases of coke which the boys had ready for their picnic that afternoon, and these the pranksters carried to the Delta Gam house.
By the time the Phi Psi's arrived in West Hills, the cokes were out of the cases, tied together, and placed in out-of-reach positions. When a Psi would reach up on a shelf to retrieve one coke bottle, a string of them would come tumbling down on top of him. After a mad chase around the house, the Psi's left with a clock and several vases. At the picnic that night, the Delta Gams had to beg—and on bended knee, too—for cokes. And they got the ones that were tied together.

There Are Such Things: Clarke
Henry, DU, and Jason Dixon, Teke
were seen walking on the campus the other day. We don't know where their cars were, but we'll warrant that it was the first time this year that such a thing has happened. Bystanders were so startled to see these two moving under their own power that such gasped remarks as "I can't believe my eyes," and "Pinch me — I'm dreaming" were heard on every side. Must be spring!

Where's the Fire??. A great deal of noise and confusion were heard upstairs in the AD Pi house Sunday night; so Bobette Sellers and Betty Isern took it to mean only one thing—fire! They picked up their cigarettes and dashed madly out of the house screaming at the top of their lungs.
Imagine their chagrin when they were told that the confusion was only Bonnie Stutz telling the girls that the man of her life, Skeets, was back in the States after a 13 months' absence. Bobbie and Betty were evidently worried about their cigarette supply, for cigs were the only thing they thought about salvaging from the "burning" house.

As a finale to spring football practice and to give some of the former football players at the University a chance to show the varsity how to play the game, plans for a football game have been made to be played at Haskell stadium Saturday night.

The contest will be played under the lights at the Indian institution and will begin at 7:30 p.m. The Kansas University Relays Club is sponsoring the novel game which will be promoted by the "K" Club.
will be promoted to the Varsity under the direction of Coaches Henry Shenk, Elmer Schaake, and Dean Nesmith will have stiff competition in the "All-Stars," composed of several of last year's lettermen and other grid men who are working daily in preparation for the feature game. Although the Varsity began spring practice a month ago, practice sessions have been held to a minimum the past ten days because of the bad weather conditions. The "All-Stars" will have several experienced players in their lineup.
Some fine entertainment plus some good football will be offered Friday night as the game is expected to prove a real thriller.
George Dick, president of the "K" Club, announced today that ticket sales would go on tomorrow. Harold McSpadden is in charge of ticket sales for the contest.
FLOOD WATER----

A motion picture, "Carnival in Flanders," a French comedy that was to have been shown Thursday evening under the sponsorship of the Forums board has been delayed in arriving because of the flood, and will have to be postponed unless received in the next day or so, announced Joy Miller, chairman of the board.
PESKY YELLOW---

"Dandelion Dance" was held in the Memorial Union ball room that evening as a climax to the celebration.
The second year, student enthusiasm dwindled as no holiday was allowed, so the faculty and their families lowered themselves to up-rooting the taraxacum. Nightfall was marked by a completely green campus, plus many aching backs and sore knees. Last year the yellow flowers were left to run rampant over the University grounds.

Sportorials By Charles Moffett
Baseball practice was resumed yesterday after weekend practices had been rained out. Coach Jack Austin has been drilling his charges hard when workouts were able to be held, with intra-squad games being played during the week. The pitchers are gradually rounding into shape, but the batters need considerable more practice. A game has been tentatively arranged for May 20 with Iowa State at Ames. Other games with service and industrial teams can be obtained at any time, but Coach Austin feels his men have not had enough practice yet to play many games.
Major league baseball is going at full speed now and so far the pitchers have had a decided advantage. Several games have come close to becoming a pitcher's dream, a no-hitter. The St. Louis Cardinals are the only team in either the National or the American league that is batting over 300. However, every year the pitchers usually have an edge over the hitters in the early part of the pennant race, but as the hitters begin getting more batting practice as the season wears on the stickmen always come into their own.

At the annual Colorado Relays held at Boulder last Saturday, the Kansas State Aggies, who were defending champions of the meet placed last this year scoring only 2 points. Colorado University won the title scoring 15 points.

Coach Mike Michalske, grid mentor at Iowa State, has 45 men reporting daily for spring practice. With only one or two exceptions all of the Cyclones are navy trainees. The list includes five lettermen from last year's squad.
Track coach George Bretnall is grooming a squad from which 26 to 30 men will be picked for the outdoor track opener at the Drake Relays Saturday. The Cyclone tracksers have had the same difficulty that has plagued the Jayhawks—a wet track—as they haven't been able to work outdoors on the cinder track yet this season.

In the other game the Physical Education Faculty knocked Phi Psi out of the race, winning 15-9, 15-13. Battenfeld and Triangle won by forfeit over TKE and Delta Upsilon, respectively.
Barbara Huls Gives Varied Violin Recital
Before a background of flowers Miss Barbara Huls, Fine Arts senior from Lawrence, last night presented her senior violin recital in Fraser theater. Max Hughes, graduate student, assisted at the piano.
The most difficult number on the program was the fiery Bruch "Concerto, G Minor." The second movement of this piece was especially well done, forming a sharp contrast to the spirited first and third movements.
The general favorite of the audience was the lyric impressionistic "En Bateau" (Debussy-Choisnel) which Miss Huls played with feeling and emotion. The brilliant "Mazurka" (Zarzycki) was a fitting climax to the program with its quick tempo and short interludes.
Two legato tone pieces started the evening; "Arioso" (Bach-Franko) and "Romanza in F" (Beethoven). Miss Huls also played the ever popular "Ave Maria" (Schubert-Wilhelm) and "Spanish Dance" (Gramadjos-Kreisler, with the characteristic Latin rhythm pervading the entire piece.
The flowers on the stage were supplemented during the evening with five bouquets presented Miss Huls. She wore a white formal decorated by gardenias both on her dress and in her hair.

Rivers Rise as Rain Continues; Freight Train Gets Through With Mail Sacks This Morning
With an overcast sky and intermittent showers menacing the already over-loaded levees along the river bank, city officials and residents alike are worriedly watching the slowly-rising Kaw and Wakarusa rivers.
At the recording taken this noon, nearly three-quarters of an inch of rain had fallen here since yesterday morning. River gauges revealed that the waters were coming up again at the rate of two-tenths of an inch per hour, the latest report giving the stage at 16.8 feet.
It has not been necessary to call out University students and trainees since late Monday night, but they are standing by in case they are needed. City employees were out strengthening the North Lawrence levees this morning as a precaution against an unusual rise in the river. Trains Bring Mail Again
Although train service is still irregular, some trains are now getting through, announced post office officials today. A freight train, coming down from Topeka, brought one big load of mail early this morning, Santa Fe train, running from Emporia to Kansas City, arrived with mail from the west about noon. East bound mail was then dispatched on this same train.
By rowing a large sack of mail across the Marais des Cygnes river, and receiving one in return, mail carriers were able to get at least a few parcels through to the south, yesterday afternoon. This will probably not be necessary today, however, the post master stated, as he expected the carriers to be able to get through by truck.
Temporary Route Was Established
Trucks were also used yesterday to take mail up to Tonganoxie where they connected with another mail

Allies Attack Turin; Yanks Near Hollandia
Once again the Luftwaffe remained in hiding during most of the multipronged attack on Hitler Europe today. Industrial targets in the Brunswick area and other points in western Germany were attacked without the loss of a single plane. German war facilities in Italy were dealt a new blow, and railway targets and enemy installations as well as a German aircraft plant in the northern industrial city of Turin was attacked.
(International News Service)
Seizure of the main Japanese airstrip at Hollandia, Dutch New Guinea by American invasion forces, grew more imminent as Yanks drove to within a little more than a mile of those dromes. Little organized resistance was encountered.
The Japanese were revealed in a dispatch from Chindit headquarters in Burma to have suffered heavily during efforts to break an Allied railroad block. At least 1,000 enemy troops were killed, and many others wounded in the battle fought by every available man, including elderly garrison forces.
Goering Is Promoted To Captaincy in AAF
Orlin J. Goering, a student from 1941 to 1942, has been promoted to the rank of captain in the AAF. He is a communication officer of the A-36 Invader fighter-bomber group of the 12th AAF in Italy. The A-36 Invaders of his group are now making daily dive-bombing attacks on enemy rail and highway transportation, gun positions, and troop concentrations in central Italy.
Captain Goering enlisted in the AAF in May, 1942, attending the army air force communications school at Scott Field, Ill. He was commissioned a lieutenant in September, 1942. The Sicilian and Italian invasions were the first he participated in after his arrival overseas in May, 1943.
US Takes Over Mail Order Firm Despite Protest
Chicago, (INS)—Sewell Avery, board chairman of Montgomery Ward and Company today defied a White House order, empowering the department of commerce to seize the Chicago plant of the mail order firm.
Wayne C. Taylor, undersecretary of the department of commerce, announced after a conference with Avery that the planthad been taken over in name of the United States government despite Avery's refusal to recognize an order procedure issued by President Roosevelt.
"Nine Girls," the murder melodrama with an all-girl cast, which is to be presented by the directing class May 2 and 3, has proved one of the most popular college plays of the present season, and will perhaps be given more college productions in 1943-44 than any other play." Prof. Allen Crafton, of the speech department announced.
Directing Class Play Popular in Colleges
The setting of the play is in the living room of a sorority club house in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. One of the women students is murdered just before the action of the play gets under way. One of the women in the club house holds a clue to the murder and so she must be killed to avert suspicion from the real murderess. In this way the play continues for an hour and three quarters until the real murderess is discovered and the curtain falls.
The set and furniture have been built by Allen Crafton. Heading the cast is Roberta Sue McCluggage who is the murderer, which is revealed (continued on page four)

Executive Praises KU Designs
In acknowledging the reception of some drapery and gift wrapping designs made by students of Miss Marjorie Whitney, associate professor of design, which were sent to the Benmont Papers company of Bennington, Vt., E. L. Chadbourne, a member of the company said, "The designs you sent to me are the best I have ever received from any art school or design department. We wish to express our sincere congratulations on the excellence of these exhibits."
Miss Whitney said that she had sent the designs to the company hoping that they would purchase some, but the sale was hardly possible since they were not made with this company specifically in mind. In his letter to Miss Whitney, Mr. Chadbourne said that they did not feel justified in buying any of the designs for immediate use though they were close to the company's exacting standards and might have been approved for purchase if similar material were not on file.
Mr. Chadbourne stated that he had been dissatisfied several years ago when 14 of the nation's leading art schools submitted more than 1,500 designs in answer to a request for designs applying to a specific need.
Miss Whitney said that the department plans to make some designs especially for the BenMont Company's needs.

Houses Co-operate In Tin Can Salvage
The tin can salvage drive, which is to end the last of this week, is progressing. very favorably on the campus, according to C. G. Buyles, who is in charge of the campus canvass.
Beginning last Monday, the drive on the campus was directed principally toward the University houses such as Corbin and Battenfeld halls the co-operative houses, and the army and navy units, Mr. Bayles explained. "At the last check-up all the houses were co-operating splendidly," he said.

Patton View Private London Leaders Say
London, (INS)—London diplomatic circles took the view today that Lt. Gen. Geo. S. Patton, Jr., was expressing only his own opinion yesterday when he told a British welcome clu for American soldiers that the United States are destined to rule the world.
But in Washington the midest label tacked on Gen. Patton's London speech by Igislature was "unfortunate."
The war department withheld comment, but army officials privately admitted amazement at Patton's declaration.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Allies Announce Plan To Divide Germany When War Is Over
According to the report, the vanquished land will be divided into three occupational zones. Russia will administer the rule of eastern Germany to the Oder river; the Britons will occupy northwestern Germany; and the United States will send its military government into Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemberg. The Rhineland will be controlled by England and the U. S., while the affairs of Berlin itself will be jointly supervised by the Big Three.
Probably the foremost question in the minds of the American people besides actually defeating Germany and ending the war in Europe, is what we are going to do with Germany after we beat her to her knees. It is now announced from London that the Russians have finally agreed to an Anglo-American design for the military occupation of Hitler's domain. This can be taken to mean, obviously, that Russia has agreed to a deal in which she will wield a great whip over a large portion of Germany.
This plan completely ignores the problem of reorganizing Germany to take a respectable place among the nations of the world, so that she will not again become an obstacle to world-wide peace. To ignore this point is to leave hot coals in Europe for another conflict to burst into flame.
As the plan stands, it is not going to be especially the tyrannical warmongers, who have usurped the positions of leadership in Germany, who are going to be punished but the common people of the country themselves. By destroying the present leaders of the dominated country it is possible that the common people can build Germany to take a useful place in world society. If, on the other hand and like the plan announced by London, the Allies divide and subdivide her into three separate dominions the commoners of the country will be held to their knees — martyrized — and given merely more thirst to "conquer the world."
Keeping the nation of Germany whole and dictating any plan of social and political reorganization to her as such is the only logical reason for triumphing over her. To divide the nation of now unified Germans, then to divide the dictatorial authorities to rule over these divisions, is to say that a nation can be dissolved by simply cutting her into three parts; a historically proven fallacy.
If the postwar plan coming from London is authentic and is actually the plan agreed upon by the Allies, the framers of the program should tear it up and start all over again since they've missed the real objective in winning the war-DS.
Students' Patterns Will Be Purchased
Five design students received word yesterday that patterns they submitted to the Iroquois China company as suitable for plate designs on hotel dishes had been accepted and would be purchased.
The students are Anne Boltz, Fine Arts senior; Heloise Hilbrand, College senior; Joyce Shook, Fine Arts senior; Jean Porter, Fine Arts sophomore; and Margaret Whitfield, Fine Arts senior.
The Iroquois company wrote the department of design nearly a month ago asking that students who were interested submit designs for hotel ware.
Rock Chalk Talk

Sugar Is Smart, Too: Little Merrill "Sug" Ellsworth, 19 old years, descended upon the Sigma Kappa's last weekend with a beebee-gun and a brain buzzing with brilliant ideas on the finer art of blackmail. From the Navy, "Sug" accumulated quarters and caps; from the Sigma Kappa's themselves, cream puffs, gold-fish, gum, and chocolates.
The escapade came to a climax when "Sug" threw open the door of PT8 and shouted "Is there a sailor in the house?" After gathering them all around him, he told them he had decided to let one of his "mates" take him to see Tex Ritter and buy him popoorn.

In the spring a young man's fancy often leads to the guardhouse: Once upon a weekend there were two very resourceful GI's who found themselves without funds. Said one to the other, "Tis spring, the time of the birds, the bees, and the boys—it's a crime all these sissies are wearing overcoats."
"I see what you mean," said the other. Accordingly the bright boys stacked all the army hangers in the army truck and transported them to the nearest laundry where they were sold for a nominal sum. The fellows have lived happily ever since--between washing dishes.
Lt. Donald Welty, Jr. Says Alaskan Post Fine Place to Be
"A fine post with all the facilities a guy could ask for," is the description which Lt. Donald R. Welty, Jr., a former College student in '42 gives of Sitka, Alaska, where he is now stationed.
With him in Alaska, are Lt. William Monroe, graduate of the School of Business in 1940; and 2nd, Lt. Philip Carder, former College student in 1942, who is now in the Quarteraster Corps in Juneau. Jack Butler, '39, was there but recently rotated to the states, Welty said.
"Not too much work—plenty of time for everything," Lt. Welty declared in his letter to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association. He said that he was making use of the equipment provided by the Army and Navy for basketball, handball, bowling, skiing, fishing, and hunting.
Lieutenant Welty's address may be secured at the Alumni office, Mr Ellsworth said.
Lt. Robert Wells, a graduate of the University in 1939, received the first commission ever awarded in the battlefield to a member of the Armored forces.
He received his commission as a second lieutenant after action at Bizarre where he captured a German general.
Commission Is Given Grad on Battlefield
Serving in a reconnaissance unit of the first armored division, Lt. Wells received his promotion to first lieutenant while on Anzio beachhead. At that time he was also made company commander.
In February last year, Lt. Wells escaped captivity at Kasserine when his unit was captured by coming through 100 miles of German territory to safety.

University Club To Have Party
'Endy' Endicott, V-12, Finds KU Pleasant After South Seas Duty
From Guadalcanal to PT 5 at the University of Kansas is the most recent move made by Oracle (Endy) Endicott, V-12 from John Day, Ore., and he says it's like coming from "darkness to light."
The experiences of Endicott are more or less typical of those undergone by the newest contingent of V-12's to arrive at the University. A good portion of the 200 men sent here in March had had overseas duty before being sent to Kansas. Endicott entered the Navy in September of 1940, and Lawrence is his first real land base.
"My first ship was the USS Brooklyn," he recalls. "We did Atlantic patrol duty, traveling regularly to Scotland, Newfoundland, Iceland, and all the other North Atlantic points."
The Brooklyn was anchored in Bermuda when the United States entered the war, and within a short time Endicott and his fellow crew members were meeting Nazi submarines. Endicott was a gunner's mate second class then, and his post on the ship was the gun turret.
Had Front Row Seat in Africa
Endicott transferred at Philadelphia to the USS Cleveland in May, 1942. The Cleveland covered the landing at Casablanca a few months later, and Endicott had a front row seat.
"I never got off the ship at Africa," he says ruefully, "but we could look out and see the beaches. There wasn't much opposition where we were, but on land they got plenty of it."
In December, 1942, the Cleveland was sent to the South Pacific and did patrol duty between Guadalcanal and Noumea. Then it was moved to the New Hebrides.
The Cleveland took part in the bombardment of the shore installations on Vella la Vella in the northern Solomons in March, 1943, and in June Endicott was a participant in the bombarding of the Shortland Islands, a Jap seaplane base, and Munda Point.
Quill Club Members Read Pledges' Manuscripts
Quill Club held its bi-monthly meeting last night in the English room of the Memorial Union building. Prose and poetry written by pledges of the organization was read and criticized.
The next meeting of Quill Club will be held Tuesday, May 10, in the English room. Persons interested in writing are invited to attend.
Deadline for entries in the Carruth poetry prize contest was announced as being May 1 at a regular meeting of Quill Club last night in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building. The announcement was made by Prof. John Hankins of the English department.
Plans for a club picnic the latter part of May were discussed. Mary Morrill, Florence Helmke, and Elwood Morgan were appointed on a committee to make arrangements for the event.

In September of 1943 Endicott applied for the V-12, and in the early part of this year he was transferred from the Cleveland to a base at Guadalcanal. From there he came to San Francisco, then to San Diego, and in March arrived in Lawrence. Prefers KU to South Seas
Unlike many of the V-12's who are new in this section of the country, Endicott has no complaints to make about the Kansas climate or things in general. "After the South Pacific, any weather is all right with me," he says. "And, I think the University is beautiful."
The things he notices, and appreciates most, about life at the University are, one, the food, and two, the space. "We never had fresh vegetables aboard ship," he explains, "nor milk. Everything but our meat was dehydrated. Up here the food is wonderful. And then there's so much more room. Aboard ship we were crowded like sheep."
Paradoxically, the thing that bothers Endicott most about his abrupt change of life is that he feels caged up, and finds it very hard to settle down. "But all in all, everything is shipshape as far as I'm concerned," he adds. "KU is swell."
A Former Student Will Marry Missourian
The engagement of Virginia Mimms, daughter of Mrs. Elbec Mimms of Kansas City, Mo., and Cpl. Carl L. Barben, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Barben, also of Kansas City, has been announced.
Miss Mimmis was graduated from the Kansas City Junior College, and attended the University of Kansas City.
Corporal Barben was graduated from the Kansas City Junior College, and attended the University of Kansas. He is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity. Corporal Barben is now stationed at Camp Carson, Colo., after having returned from duty on the Aleutian Islands.

Navy, Phi Delt's Tie For B-League Title In I-M Volleyball
Ship's Company and Phi Delta Theta tied for the championship of B division in intramural volleyball as the result of the sailors' victory over Physical Education Faculty last night.
It took three rounds of play for the navy to down the teachers, the play going 15-7, 12-15 and 15-3. The lopsided score of the final round indicated the collapse of the faculty after their grueling second set, and the reserve stamina of the sailors.
In the only other B match Delta Tau Delta won over Battendfield 9-15, 15-2, and 15-11. Phi Psi won from Triangle on forift, and no player showed up for the DU-TKE match.
The Betas beat the Phi Gam's 15-12, 4-15, and 15-4 in the only division A play last night. Sigma Chi and the Engineers won by forfeit over Alpha Psi and SAE respectively, and both John Moore Co-op and the V-12's failed to appear.
Barring an upset in tonight's final round, Faculty Engineers appear to have the A league title cinched.

COMMENCEMENT--air forces, Sergeant Adair stated. "Two new developments in the corps," he explained, "should be of interest to KU women. Overseas service is being offered Air WAC's by the Air Transport Command, and college students may now have up to 120 days after taking oath before they are called to active duty."
(continued from page one) Thursday afternoon following the luncheon. Mr. Ellsworth said.
Last year, the alumni secretary stated, token reunions were held for the various classes, with only those attending who could come on an A card or who were in this vicinity on business. He expressed his hope that a similar sort of arrangement could be worked out for this year.
Illustrating the effect of a war upon class reunions Mr. Ellsworth said that at some 25th reunions as many as 108 persons have attended. Last year the figure was 36.
Meeting for their 25th reunion last year the few members of the class of 1918 made out a directory and started a class fund which will be used for their first real reunion after the war.
"K" Club Meeting at 6:30 p.m.
There will be a short 'K' Club meeting at 6:30 p.m. today in the K Club room in Robinson gymnasium, George Dick, president, announced this morning. Urgent business is to be discussed and Dick stressed the importance that all members attend the meeting.
Sportorials By Charles Moffett
Football at the University of Kansas seems to be definitely on the upgrade. The reason for this observation is that game to be played at Haskell stadium Saturday night. We doubt if there ever has been such a game played before, at least with not as much enthusiasm and spirit as this one will have.
The "All-Stars," a team composed of several of last year's lettermen and alumni, have been making great plans for Saturday evening. They are going to try and show the Varsity how the game of football should be played, and would like nothing better than to beat the charges of coaches, Shenk, Schaake, and Nesmith. Their experience will be greater than their opponents, although several of the men playing for the A.S. team may get tired a little sooner.
Over in the Varsity corner the coaching staff promises plenty of trouble for the "All-Stars" and are in no mood to be beaten. The Varsity has been practicing longer than the "All-Stars" but have not been able to practice regularly because of the bad weather.
The contest is shaping as a game between "a used-to-be team" and "a hope-to-be team," with no holds barred. So with both teams promising to give their all for the fans' enjoyment, the game has all the earmarks of providing real entertainment plus some excellent football.
When a football game can be played in the spring as a finale to spring practice and the two competing teams can have as much "fire'n fight" as the "All-Stars" and Varsity have, plus the enthusiasm already shown by fans, then we're pretty sure that Kansas football is coming into its own.
KU Varsity vs. 'All-Stars' Play at 7:30 p.m. Friday
Tickets for the football game Saturday night between the K. U. Varsity and the "All-Stars" went on sale this morning, announced Harold McSpadden, who is in charge of sales for the "K" Club. Tickets may be bought from any "K" Club member.
"As the game starts at 7:30 p.m. it will be over in time for students to attend the dance at the Union afterwards," McSpadden pointed out.

Softball Games Are Postponed
Because of the rainy weather, the women's intramural softball 'games scheduled for this week have been postponed, Miss Ruth Hoover, sponsor, announced today.
Kansas has 11 iron works, 20 iron and steel fabricators, 40 metal cast ing plants, 28 agricultural implement manufacturing firms, 12 rail roads and 150 machine shops.
Eleven Iron Works in Kansas
As an aid to women in obtaining accurate information about the Air WAC and to facilitate their enlistment, the Kansas City Air WAC Recruiting headquarters has established a "sub-station" at 723 Massachusetts. The office is staffed by Sgt. William Adair and Sgt. Donald Grove, both of the air forces.
Women may apply at the office for service with the ground forces as well as applying for service in the air forces, Sergeant Adair stated.
He stated that this extended period of time on inactive status is designed to enable college women to finish their term or to secure their degree. Ordinarily a WAC recruit is allowed only 30 days to settle her civilian affairs.
The ATC has asked for 5,000 Air WAC's. In addition to air fields in the United States ranging from Presque Isle, Me., to Palm Springs, Calif., where Air WAC's may be stationed, preparations have been made to garrison them in England, Africa, India, South America, the Hawaiian Islands, and Alaska.
Air WACs Announce New Enlistment Rules For College Women
Women serving with the ATC will take a five week basic training course at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa, after which they will be assigned to an ATC base in the United States, Sergeant Adair said. When their training is completed they may apply for duty in whatever overseas sector they prefer.
The recruiting staff said that it is possible for Kansas and Missouri women who wish to be stationed near home to request their initial assignment at Rosecrans Field at St. Joseph, Mo.

French Movie to Be At 7:30 Tomorrow
"Carnival in Flanders," voted the best movie produced in the world during 1936, will be shown by the Student Forums board in Fraser theater at 7:30 tomorrow evening. Joy Miller, chairman of the board has announced. The film, which had been delayed by flood waters, arrived last night.
A comedy, the French film is built around the invasion of Flanders by the Spanish army. The cast includes Louis Jouvet, Francoise Rosay, Alerme, and Jean Murat.
DIRECTING CLASS----
"Carnival in Flanders" is in French; however, English titles completely translate the dialogue, according to Miss Miller.
The film, to be shown without charge, will be over promptly at 9 o'clock, said Miss Miller.
(continued from page one) to the audience shortly after the play opens. There is one murder on the stage. Margie Johnson and Alice McDonnell escape just in time.
"The percentage of violent deaths among the cast is almost equal to the percentage of German deaths in their retreat from the Russians," Crafton promised.
This play is presented by the class in directing, the same group which gave "The Women" in 1942 and "Distinguished Service" last year.

Mail Deliveries, Trains Resume Regular Times
Train schedules and mail deliveries were resumed on their regular times this morning as flood waters receded and tracks were repaired.
Although road beds are still soft, they will return to good condition in a few more days if the sun stays out a little longer, railroad officials stated. Nearly all of the University students who had been detained because of high waters, have returned to their classes again, and conditions are almost back to normal.
At a recording taken early this morning, the Kaw river still stood at the 19 foot level but has been falling ever since then. The normal stage of approximately 11 feet is not expected to be reached for a day or two, vet. however.
City officials have extended their thanks and appreciation to all University students who assisted the townspeople in their battle against the flood and stated they were a very material aid in holding back the waters from the lowlands along the river.
French Movie to Be In Fraser Tonight
"Carnival in Flanders" is the movie which will be shown at 7:30 this evening in Fraser theater by the Student Forums Board, Joy Miller, chairman of the board, has announced.
The French film is built around the invasion of Flanders by the Spanish army, and in 1936 it was voted the best movie produced in the world.
According to Allen Crafton, professor of speech, it is an outstanding picture of all times. Louis Jouvet, who takes one of the leading parts, is one of the best actors France has ever produced, Professor Crafton said.
Others in the cast include Francoise Rosay, Alerme, and Jean Murat.

Cookingham Likes Training of Schools
Commending universities on their job of preparing students for responsible city jobs, L. P. Cookingham, city manager of Kansas City, Mo., told students of the social science group yesterday that until the war the city employed more people and spent more money than any other industry.
Cookingham spoke at the initiation dinner of Pi Sigma Alpha, national honorary political science fraternity last night at the Colonial Tea Room. '
"The best way for a young man to train for city management is to get good college training, and then start out in a small city where it is easier to train for a bigger job." Mr. Cookingham told members of the fraternity.
Mr. Cookingham also said that there is such a thing as a city's being too big for the plan, because it is hard to sell a big group on good government.
Prof. R. G. Mahieu will speak at a regular meeting of the French club at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon in room 113, Frank Strong hall.
"You've got to be the servant of the public, not the ruler, an aristocrat, not a bureaucrat, and you've got to sell the public in that way," he said.
French Club to Hear Prof. Mahieu Today
Mr. Mahieu returned to the University last semester after a leave of absence at Princeton University, where he taught in the Army language and area program. He will tell of his experiences while teaching there.
Soldiers Carry Sewell Avery From Offices
Chicago, (INS)—Two burly army sergeants ejected Sewell Avery, 69-year-old board chairman of Montgomery Ward and Company, from his executive offices at the mail order plant today.
On order of US attorney general Francis Biddle the soldiers lifted Avery from his chair and carried him to the elevator.
Five company executives trailed Avery through the door, asking for instructions, but Avery ignored them and his face livid with anger shouted at Biddle, "You new dealer, I'm going to stay here."
Biddle ordered Avery's ejective he said because the militant industrials refused to turn over to the undersecretary of commerce, Wayne Taylor, the company's books.
In Washington a resolution calling for the appointment of a special seven-member committee to investigate the government's military seizure of the plant was introduced in the house by Representative Charles Dewey, Republican of Illinois.

An estimated crowd of 600 square danced, played games, and joined in the fun of the American Association of University Women's "Fun Fest" at the Community building last night in which 11 University women and faculty members took part.
Following an hour of square dancing, called by Miss Ruth Hoover, director of the women's physical education department, a floor show was presented. Those from the University taking part in the program were Ruth Russel, Fine Arts sophomore, vocalist; and eight members of Tau Sigma, honorary dance sorority, including Evelyn Smith, Betty Ball, Betty Noble, Joan Power, all College students, and Frances Davison, Jean Boardman, Laura Belle Moore, and Martha Trate, all of the School of

Only 13 students have made application to take the medical aptitude test administered by the Association of American Medical colleges tomorrow afternoon, Dr. Parke Woodard of the School of Medicine announced today. Normally there are nearly a hundred applicants for the examination. Dr. Woodard attributed the decrease to the fact that the test is being given at this time to civilian students interested in medical training only.
The examination will be given by Dr. Woodard tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in room 101A, Haworth hall. A fee of one dollar for the test can be paid tomorrow.
Dr. Voegelin To Lecture Today
"Unwritten Legends of the American Indians" is the topic of the lecture being given at 4:30 this afternoon in Fraser theater by Dr. Erminie Voegelin of the department of anthropology of the University of Indiana at Bloomington, Ind.

Partisans Invade Mljet, Korcula
Mashall Josip (Tito) Broz announced that his Yugoslav partisans backed by "armed" ships have landed on the Adriatic island of Korcula and annihilated several enemy garrisons. The announcement came only 24 hours after it had been revealed that partisan units had begun an invasion of Mijet island, 20 miles to the southeast.
American invasion forces in the southwest Pacific seized two Japanese air strips near Hollandia in Dutch New Guinea and the capture of the third, and most important drone, was expected in the immediate future. In taking the field the doughboys executed a spectacular crossing of a lake in army "buffaloes", "ducks," and "alligators."
Lawson to Go to Kentucky To Attend Meeting of Deans
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, will leave next week for Lexington, Ky., where he will attend a meeting of the deans of colleges of liberal arts to be held there May 3 and 4.
This annual meeting, which deans from state universities in 22 states located in the Mississippi Valley attend, is an informal affair in which ideas and experiences with liberal arts work are exchanged, and suggestions are offered for improvements.
Founded by Olin Templin, dean of the College here from 1903 to 1920, this convention has been held every sping for the past 25 years.
Hambro Lecture Postponed Again Until 1st of June
Although Mr. Hambro's talk had already been called off once before, Cancellor Malott said that he found the interest in him, both among students and faculty members, sufficient to induce him to take this later date, even though it will come rather late in the year's schedule.
C. J. Hambro* noted Norwegian statesman who was to have spoken at the University May 3, has found it necessary to cancel his engagement once more, announced Chancellor Deane W. Malott today. If present plans work out, he will lecture here Thursday, June 1, instead.
Chairman of the supervisory committee of the League of Nations for the duration of the war, Mr. Hambro was called to London the middle of March to confer on international political matters. Although he has been unable to finish his business there in time to appear here next week, he expects to be able to come to the United States within the next few weeks.
Active in politics for years this president of the former Norwegian parliament will speak on practical methods of winning the peace. In addition to his political positions, Mr. Hambro is also known as the author of more than 20 books and was formerly editor-in-chief of the great Scandinavian quarterly, "Le Nord."
Defending rural journalism and making it sound as attractive as metropolitan newspaper work Pete McKechnie, president of the Kansas Press Association, addressed students and faculty members three times yesterday.
"The difference between rural journalism and metropolitan journalism is that between a personal and impersonal job," the editor of the Klowa County Signal told journalism students following a Press Club dinner last night at the Colonial Tea Room.
McKechnie Upholds Rural Journalism
On a small town paper accuracy, he said, is just as important as it is on a city paper; perhaps even more so, since everyone is well acquainted and a careless writer may be caught on a misspelled name by more people.

Letter to the Editor
In a recent speech to advertising men in New England, Elon G. Borton, advertising director of LaSalle Extension University, advocated a recall of the idea of free enterprise—the American Way of Life, he called it—to the public. Extremely fearful of increased governmental control after the war, Mr. Borton believes advertisers can counteract the trend by selling "free enterprise" to the 130,000,000 American people.
In case Mr. Borton doesn't already know it, his idea is not new. In fact, it has been practiced ever since business men began howling about governmental control. Only recently, however, has the advertising campaign been intensified.
Magazines and newspapers carry full page ads expressing the hope that "our boys overseas may come back to the America they knew, and the American Way of Life," and stating that "America's Fifth Freedom is Freedom of Enterprise." Advertisers able to buy full page ads are intensely interested in impressing on the public's minds that free enterprise made America the powerful nation she is today.
Mr. Borton has a new angle, though, in advising advertisers against using the abstract phrase of "free enterprise" and in emphasizing that the people must be given the facts, "simply, truthfully and

Food: Anna Mae Johnston, Miller hall, has nearly recovered from her Sunday evening "lunch" which consisted of (consumed in the order mentioned): fried shrimp on toast, olives, pickles, ginger ale, rhubarb pie, ice cream with chocolate sauce, and peanuts. Anna Mae probably rates second to Jac Nodler, Kansan news editor, who makes Dagwood Bumstead look like a sissy when she polishes off a self-styled "Mamie" sandwich—reading from bottom up—bread, mayonnaise, fried egg, bacon, lettuce, catup, peanut butter, jam, mustard, and bread.

If the advertisers do as good a job on this as they have done on their products, and the American public is as easily influenced by fancy words and phrases as it has proven itself before, the manufacturers behind the campaign should have quite good luck with their political strategy which they clothe in an appeal to "Our American Way of Life."—A Student.
persuasively." It will be very enlightening to learn the true facts about free enterprise. Evidently Mr. Borton knows that some people are just a little distrustful of what is behind the phrase, "free enterprise." Some people think of it as the system which allows a few men to monopolize industries and set prices and to put other men out of business.
But there can be no doubt about it, the advertisers will continue to do their utmost to sugarcoat "Our American Way of Life." The campaign has been carefully planned and is backed by the tidy sum which members of the National Association of Manufacturers have left after they have paid their taxes.

Potatoes Can Be Made Into 'Gas', Chemists Say
Potatoes, wheat, and other products containing starch, can be used to increase the quantity of our gasoline supply, stated R. Q. Brewster, upon his return from the annual meeting of the National Chemical Society, held in Cleveland, Ohio, recently.
Other members of the chemistry department who attended the meeting were A. W. Davidson, Calvin Vander Werf, and Frank E. Jirik.
Products containing starch can be hydrolized to sugar and fermented to alcohol. The alcohol can then be mixed with gasoline to increase the quantity. The expense of this method makes the older system of obtaining oil from the ground preferable as long as it is possible, however.
One substitute for present-day on has been devised by the Chinese, who use oil extracted from a bean or other vegetable in their Diesel engines.
Spanish Class Gives Skits at El Ateneo
Members of Dr. W.H. Shoemaker's conversational Spanish class presented ten Spanish skits and plays at a meeting of El Ateneo, Spanish club, yesterday. Lonnie Kelley, was master of ceremonies.
Those participating in the skits were: Patricia Harvey, Patricia Williams, Geneva Brown, Lois Miller, Mary Tudor Hanna, and Lonnie Eve Kelley, College juniors; J. Glen Hahn, Helen Hird, Betty Lay, Roberta Frowe, and Jean Kaufmann, College sophomores; and Mrs. Owen Carl, special student.
Coal can also be used as a source of oil and gas, if it should prove necessary. Coal is made up of carbon, which, when combined with hydrogen, is the basis of all gas and oil. In order to hydrogenate it, the coal must be suspended and hydrogen forced in under great pressure. Germany uses this method extensively, and although it is being developed here, we will not need it unless our natural resources are exhausted.
Throughout Kansas there are many natural gas deposits, which when modified by a polymerization process, can be made into gas and oil.
Another possibility is oil shale, which is rock saturated with crude oil. The difficulty lies in the expense of extracting the oil from the oil shale. In this process, the shale is heated to obtain the oil. The supply is apparently inexhaustible.
Students Learn to Register In German Hotels
How to be a hotel guest in Germany was demonstrated to and practiced by members of the German Conversational group which met in Myers hall last night. Students registered as hotel guests and were given floor plans described in German from which they were to make drawings. On the committee arranging the program were Glenn Agee, chairman; and Norma Jean Lutz. German geography and scenes are to be discussed next Wednesday by the group under the leadership of Reva Brown and Bethel Reimer.

Faculty Engineers Defeat Beta's to Win A-League Honors
The Faculty Engineers clinched the A league championship with a 15-11, 15-6 victory over the second place Betas, as the regular season's play drew to a close last night. The Engineers, only unbeaten team in either league, were given a harder battle by the Betas than by any other team, but still managed to win without too much trouble.
The Phi Delts and Ship's Company, who tied for the B league crown, will meet in a playoff game next week, and the winner will tangle with the Engineers for the championship of the year.
No other games were played last night. Kappa Alpha Psi and John Moore forfeited to Phi Gam and Blanks respectively, and both Sigma Chi and the V-12's failed to appear for their game.

Stouffer Talks to Baker Faculty

Sportorials
By Charles Moffett
One ardent sports fan and a booster for Kansas University football, after hearing about the game to be played Saturday night at Haskell stadium, asked us if we didn't think there was another reason for the increasing football spirit on the Hill. This interested observer believes that no matter what actions are taken to promote football on the campus none can compare with the boost given by the Kansas victory over Ol' Mizzou last fall. We're inclined to agree with this opinion. Kansas had experienced a very mediocre season up to the Tiger contest and there didn't seem much hope of coming close, let alone win. In fact, Missouri fans were predicting an easy game, some even guessing the score to be up in the 60's, with the Jayhawks not even crossing the goal line.
But the wearers of the Crimson and Blue didn't seem to realize they were supposed to get beat, not even after Missouri had scored on one of their famed T formation lateral plays. The coaching staff came up with a defense that kept the powerful "Bull" Reece slowed to a crawl and protected beautifully against passes. When the Tigers were pressing the goal at the end of the game, the Jayhawkers still didn't realize they weren't supposed to win and at the end of the exciting battle they were the least surprised of all, because they knew at half-time they weren't playing any super-humans. The victory was known as one of the national upsets of the season.
The fan thought the novel game was a fine thing and commended the "All-Stars" for their excellent cooperation in helping promote the game.
So maybe our informer was right. Victories are what pay off and Kansas certainly collected dividends last November. Hence, the game Saturday night will be played as an inspiration for more games won, and is a fine way to end spring practice and create more enthusiasm for next fall's campaign.
Ickes Told Too Many Of His Men Deferred
Washington, (INS) — The house appropriations committee, recommending $87,672,000 to tide the Interior department through the 1945 fiscal year castigated the agency today as being "too liberal" in asking 2,073 draft deferments for personnel.
The committee also advised Interior Secretary Ickes that his bureau of Indian affairs needs a "good overhauling and reorganization."
In appropriating the interior funds the committee continued its economy drive, lopping off more than $26,000,000 from the 1944 appropriation.

McKECHNIE - the "COLLEGE JEWELER"
Speaking on advertising at 11:30 yesterday morning Mr. MeKechnie pointed out that selling advertising in a small town is a hard job.
"You come constantly upon the retort 'I don't need to advertise—everyone knows I'm here'," the journalist pointed out. "But the minute they become chairman of a committee they want newspaper publicity," he replied. Advertising managers of small town newspapers deserve a great deal of respect, he said.
At 3:30 p.m. in the journalism building, Mr. McKechnie spoke on publication problems.
Speaks on Publication Problems
Outlining the activities of the Kansas Press Association following his speech at the Press Club banquet, Mr. McKechnie gave its four main functions as (1) maintaining high standards in Kansas journalism (2) maintaining an advertising clearing house (3) running a clipping agency and (4) coordinating the Kansas press.

High School Students Fill Campus For District Music Festival; Rains Do Not Affect Attendance
Three hundred and eighty-nine Kansas high school students invaded the campus today in an effort to display their musical ability in the district high school musical festival which began at 8:30 a.m. today. The heavy rains and resulting floods have not impaired the attendance, according to Russell Wiley, campus coordinator.
Topeka, Lawrence, and Shawnee Mission groups each had three number one ratings of the total of thirteen which were released by noon by Clifford Dean, superintendent of the Lawrence city schools and general manager of the festival. Topeka received number one ratings for the girls' quartet, the cornet trio, and the flute quartet. The clarinet quartet, the brass sextet, and the woodwind quartet scored the highest ratings for Lawrence, while Shawnee Mission hit the high mark with their boys' quartet, the drum trio, and the violin quartet.
No Number One Rating in Piano

Trainee Culp Chosen To Train as Cadet
Kenneth J. Culp of Monroe, Mich., ASTRP, has been selected by the war department to continue military training as a cadet at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va., Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorris, commandant announced today.
Trainee Culp has completed three terms of basic engineering in the ASTRP at the University and will not be eighteen until June 25. He is a graduate of Monroe High School in Michigan. He received a scholarship to the University of Michigan in 1943, but entered the Army Reserve program. Culp has participated in the AST program at the University for the past nine months. He will report to his new assignment May 3.
"Trainee Culp's matriculation at Virginia Military Institute, known as the West Point of the South, and the school which produced Chief of Staff George C. Marshall, is considered a most desirable assignment," said Colonel McMorris. "Upon completion of the training there he will receive a commission in the regular army of the United States."
Civilians Take Test In Medical Aptitude
Medical aptitude tests for civilian students began at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon under the direction of Dr. Parke Woodard of the School of Medicine. The examination, which is given in cooperation with the American Medical College, determines the student's ability in interpreting medical subject matter.
Thirteen students had registered for the test this morning.
Crews Handle Tricky Staging In'Nine Girls'
A number of records have been bought by Prof. Allen Crafton to produce the sound effects for the play "Nine Girls" to be presented by the class in directing Monday and Tuesday night in Fraser theater. The lighting effects have also caused another problem, as the switch board is on the right side of the stage and the set for the play calls for a solid wall on that side. This prevents the electrician from seeing any of the action, which makes it impossible to cue the lighting to the stage action.

University of Texas Under Investigation Of AAUP, SACSS
Austin, (INS)—Tangled fairs of the University of Texas growing out of faculty uncertainty over tenures are under the scrutiny of two national collegiate associations, it was disclosed today as regents met for their monthly deliberations.
For the consideration of regents were two communications from the secretary of the American Association of University Professors and from President Rufus C. Harris, of Tulane, who said the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools voted to "inquire into some matters pertaining to the University of Texas."
Deadline for the entries in the William Herbert Carruth Memorial contest is at noon Monday, Prof. John E. Hankins, chairman of the committee of awards, warned today. Three typewritten copies of each entry signed by an assumed name must be handed in to the Chancellor's office. A sealed envelope containing the real name and address of the author and bearing the assumed name and exact title of the poem on the outside should accompany the poem.
Monday Is Deadline For Poetry Entries
No regularly enrolled student may submit more than one poem, which may be of any length or classification.
Indian Literature Survives in Verse, Says Dr. Voegelin
Although no written language of any sort existed among the North American and Indian groups, various literary forms have survived through oral transmission, Dr. Erinnie Voegelin told her listeners in Fraser theater yesterday afternoon.
A member of the anthropology department of the University of Indiana at Bloomington, Ind., and the editor of the Journal of American Folk Lore, Dr. Voegelin spoke here under the sponsorship of the departments of English and sociology.
The greatest bulk of the literature of these groups has consisted of songs or verse and the narrative prose forms of myths and tales with certain common features and yet a few sharp divisions between the Eskimo and American Indian forms, Dr. Voegelin commented. Especially outstanding among the common features pointed out in the verse of the two general cultural groups were the repetition of rhythm, conciseness of idea, liberty of diction, and comparison and personification used in imagery.
Dr. Voegelin noted the outstanding lack of personality and psychological interest in the tales, although they succeeded in reflecting the daily life of the people with a high degree of faithfulness. These tales often served as a body of historic knowledge for the various tribes.
Although the American Indian and Eskimo groups have been found to have a few common elements, each general group has not only its particular distinguishing features, but also its distinctive cultural groups which are by no means uniform, Dr. Voegelin stated.
Scholarships Given Two Battenfeld Men
Two such scholarships are awarded to residents of the hall each semester, said Dean Ulmer, on the basis of scholarship and contribution to the group life in the men's dormitory.
Eugene Schwartz, College junior, and Lee Leatherwood, senior engineer, have been awarded $50 Battenfeld scholarships, Dean Gilbert Ulmer, chairman of the Battenfeld Scholarship Committee, has announced.
The scholarships are given by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Battenfeld of Kansas City, Mo., who built the hall in 1940 as a memorial to their son, John Curry Battenfeld, who was a student with the class of 1941.
Lt. Robert Coleman Visits Campus While on Leave
Lt. Robert Coleman, who as a College senior, left his position as editor of the Daily Kansan last spring for army service, visited the campus yesterday while on a two-week leave. He is to report at the Army air base at Salinas, Calif., Monday to resume his training as a fighter pilot. He has been visiting his parents at Junction City, and acquaintances at Columbia, Mo.
Death Occurs at 12:08 After 6-Day Illness
Lt. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer of the Naval Training School, this afternoon ordered the flag at Frank Strong hall lowered to half-mast in respect to Secretary Knox. It was announced that further official statement would be issued tomorrow.
Washington, (INS)—Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox died at his home at 12:08 p.m. today from a series of heart attacks. Knox was ill only six days.
His death brought the American flag to half-mast in every naval establishment and on every American warship around the world.
The house and senate immediately adjourned out of respect to his memory.
In Washington a wide open house investigation of the government's seizure of the plant was ordered today by the house rules committee after a stormy session. Senators angrily announced the seizure in open debate.
Ward Meeting Avoids Soldiers By Adjourning
One of Secretary Knox's last official statements was made
The meeting was immediately adjourned to the Crystal ballroom of the Blackstone hotel because of the presence of "trespassers."
Chicago, (INS)—Th annual meeting of stockholders of Montgomery Ward and Company was called to order today in the company's general office building under the watchful eyes of military police with six bavonets.
Reserves Have New Uniforms
ASTRP reservoirs appeared on the campus this morning in regular army uniforms, after being outfitted yesterday at Ft. Leavenworth. The change in uniform does away with blue lapels for Reservists and with shoes which they had heretofore been required to provide for themselves.
Only half the ASTF Reservists at the University, those who will remain for more training after their third term, were affected by the change. The third term ends tomorrow.
The other half will leave for active duty, according to Lt. Col. McMorris, and were not included in the group sent to Ft. Leavenworth in trucks yesterday.
The Colonel said he thought the new uniforms would do much to improve the appearance of the men.

THE KANSAN COMMENTS Salvage Drives Need Citizens' Support Rock Chalk Talk
Although they mass their energies and resources to work at war-time jobs and support bond drives, a large percentage of citizens lapse into a lethargic state whenever salvage drives are launched. Too many people every day throw away tin cans, bottles, old newspapers, the things which if delivered to the right sources would be a direct aid to winning the war.
The most notable failure of Americans to meet their salvage quota has been in the case of newsprint. In November, the War Production Board set the goal at 155,000 tons a week, and not once has this goal been reached. Considering the number of circulars, newspapers, old letters, and cartons that are burned as trash every day it's ironic that the United States should fall short of her quota. The unsalvaged paper that might put the campaign over the top depends on little items contributed by each family. An all-out participation is needed to make the drive a surress.
Calls for used fats and greases have met with the same response. True, there are those who salvage all the greases they can, but others habitually pour grease down the sink when it is of no further use to them. Yet, the need for glycerine made from fats increases.
A new drive for tin cans is in progress. Will people follow directions and do their share, or will they throw their tin cans in the trash barrel for the garbage man to haul away?
The reason for the public's passing up an opportunity to contribute directly to the war effort may be due partly to laziness. Certainly, it takes time to drain fats, bundle newspapers, and flatten tin cans. Need More Contests
Tin Can Drive in Progress
On the other hand, citizens may not have the incentive they need for participating in salvage drives. In such case, some public-spirited citizen should start a contest which would arouse interest and excite citizens' imaginations, play on local pride, even pit town against town. He might also be responsible for putting waste paper cans in public buildings and along the streets so that persons might throw candy bar wrappers and other papers in them instead of on the street.
True, salvage drives aren't glamorous. They require time and effort for which the usual compensation is merely the good feeling of having personally contributed to victory. Each of us is in this war, and each individual can help determine the result. The enviable records set by the public in the steel and rubber scrap drives and war bond campaigns have proved that citizens can rise to the occasion. They can't afford to fall down now.J.I.

Cest La Guerre—An anonymous female Voice called the Chi Omega house Monday night and asked for Bev Bohan.
"I'm sorry," Aloise Brown told her, "She hasn't come back from Coffeyville yet."
"Well, do you know when she'll be back?" the Voice asked.
"I suppose when the flood waters go down," was the reply.
"Well, eh---" was the dead-earnest request, "Do you know when that will be?"

Rest in Peace—John Marshall John Moore Co-op, was having a hard time getting his required allotment of morpheus last week. It seems his bunk sagged in the middle, causing bed-mate, John Scurlock, student court justice to roll over and entwine himself about Marshall in a most unwluerly-like fashion. Finally the desperate Marshall approached the dorm with several cans of tomatoes in his arms and a gleam in his eye. Propping the cans under the drooping middle of the bed he proceeded to enjoy his first good sleep in some time.
In Memoriam—It came originally from the physiology department. It has seen changes since then.
'IT' is an aged manikin, slightly
beat, which was stored some weeks
ago in the bacteriology storeroom. Ingenious students discovered the Hidden Talent recently, and, after swathing the model in a white surgical dressing gown and towel turbin, dubbed their masterpiece "Hector Heartbreak." The name changed almost immediately to "Hector Hoak, Carl's Little Brother," in shining tribute to Carl Hoak, freshman medic, and instructor in the department.
Daily the shrine grows, by the addition of signs expounding the Works and Discoveries of the renowned medic (most specifically, recent experimental difficulties with a certain black rabbit).
The unappreciative attitude of the toasted Hoak has been interpreted by bact designers as mere modesty. Anyone in the department can tell you the masterwork is done with extraordinary skill!

At Long Last-The department or journalism has been rendered a great service by the Press Club.
Hong East—The department of journalism has been rendered great service by the Press Club. For decades Samuel Bowles II and Charles A. Dana, pioneer journalists, have been gazing from their gilded frames in room 102 of the Shack at obscure points on the west wall of the room. Generations of students have watched their cold-shoulder attitude. And in all that time, Sam Bowles has never even as much as cast a glimpse on "Chuck" Dana and vice-verse.
So, for their project of the month Press club members remedied the situation. With deft precision they reversed the portraits, and for the first time Mr. Dana is able to look Mr. Bowles in the eye. The observer must bear in mind, however, that the picture on the right labeled Bowles is really Mr. Dana who was originally on the left, and the countenance on the left is really that of Mr. Bowles who was on the right, and not Mr. Dana as labeled.
John Blocker Is Editor Of Accountants' Handbook
John G. Blocker, professor of accounting, is listed as a contributing and consulting editor of the "Cost Accountants' Handbook" which was published this month by the Ronald Press company of New York.
The handbook, comprising 1,482 pages, is the first comprehensive and authoritative codification of the principles and techniques of cost accounting. It deals primarily with cost accounting for manufacturing industries, and its usefulness will extend to the engineer, the production staff, the general accountant and the management of both large and small business concerns, Professor Blocker, said.

"If this is not done beforehand, he warned, "it will be necessary to return the parcel and make the sender take them off himself, thus losing his place in the line. The address should also be very clear;" he added.
This measure has become necessary because many of the packages have been mailed so often that the markings and dates on them are confusing. It also takes the valuable time of the already overworked postal clerks, if they have to stop and remove these labels themselves

Football Game to Be Played Tomorrow Night at Haskell Field Between Varsity and All-Stars
As a test of off-season interest in what hitherto has been considered a fall sport, the Varsity will meet an "All-Star" aggregation at 7:30 Saturday night in Haskell stadium in a football game which promises real excitement.
The novel game will mark the end of spring practice for the varsity and is being sponsored by the Kansas Relays Club, with promotion plans being carried on by the "K" Club, composed of all men who have lettered in any athletic sport at Kansas University.
The line-up of the "All-Stars" includes several former Kansas players as well as other men with high school 'experience.
Last Year's Lettermen to Play
At ends the "All-Stars" will have Riegle, Stucker, and Dick, all lettermen on last year's Jayhawker team. Dick was also captain of the 1943 squad.
At the tackle posts will be Grimes, Holloway, Penny, and Carl Hird. The latter played here two years ago and Penny was a member of last year's team before hurting his knee in the Nebraska game.
Holding down the guard positions will be Dreher, letterman last year; Dick Sklar, former Kansas all-Big Six star for two straight years and a participant in one of the East-West games. Another guard is Ralph Hayes, a chief petty officer in the V-12 unit.
Professional in Line-Up
At the center spot will be Don Pierce, all Big Six pivot man at KU and ex-property of the Brooklyn Dodgers professional football team. Assisting Pierce will be Bob Smith, who has had four years of experience with a Michigan high school.
The backs will almost all be familiar to Kansas fans as they have played several times in Memorial Stadium, Miller, Bergin, and Mowery are three "seat" backs who played last year. Clarence Douglas, another all Big Six man and participant in the East-West game, will see action at fullback as Will Marvin Vanderweel, present coach at Haskell, and former Kansas athlete, Dwight Sutherland has played on Princeton University's varsity and is being counted on by the "All-Stars" to provide plenty of trouble for their opponents.
Over in the camp of the Varsity coaches Shenk, Schaake, and Nesmith have been preparing their
charges for the big game, but will be in dire need for experienced reserves especially in the line.
Wayne Hird, letterman of last year and receiver of honorable mention on the Associated Press All-American team, will lead the Jayhawk line into the game; however, he will receive strong support from Keller, Shondell, Hill, Ryan, and Bouse—all either lettermen or members of last year's squad. Several other good prospects will round out the limited material for the Varsity.
Available for backfield duty will be Faulkner, Moffett, and Weatherby, 1439 letters men, plus several other promising men, including Schimenz, Welch, Williams, Cantrell, Benedict, and others.
Varsity Out to Win
Coach Henry Shenk said this morning that although the "All-Stars" will be bigger and more experienced, the Varsity will be out to win. While over in the rebel camp, leaders Gordon Stucker and George Dick, made the comment that their team plans on showing the Varsity an "interesting evening," but would divulge no more information.
Even more color will be added to the fray when the officials take the field. Referee will be Lieutenant Zeller, who is a graduate of Indiana University and played eight years of professional football with the Chicago Bears. Headlinesman will be Chalmer Woodard, who coached the Lawrence Memorial high school to a league championship last fall. The position of field judge will be held down by Ensign Ware, who is stationed on the Hill in the V 12 mit, as is Lt. Zeller. Umpire will be Lieutenant Smith of the V-5 unit. Lieutenant Smith is a former University of Mississippi star and was assistant coach there for a while.
